The 7 Hats Podcast

Entrepreneurs are the 1% crazy, the innovators, the dreamers, the doers, the believers. They ask more of themselves than the other 99% and what they crave most is to IMPACT the world and those around them. As much as we strive to impact the world around us, at times, we're unsure of how to find balance in the development of ourselves and our companies. As the founder of two successful companies in the CPG and Tech space, I have failed, survived, and thrived in this challenging journey. I ran the rat race. I burned the candle at both ends for years. I burned out and bottomed out. And then I figured it out. The 7 Hats is here to help entrepreneurs gracefully balance and develop the 7 critical areas of life that will provide both the IMPACT you know you are seeking and the fulfillment you may not realize you crave. Let's take the journey together! Join The 7 Hats Community and IMPACT YOUR LIFE with The 7 Hats.

"That was the birthplace in the breeding ground for where I learned how to play offense in a defensive environment." Will you join us this week, month, and year to get on the offensive?

Not too long ago we had Ryan Alford, host of popular business & marketing podcast RIGHT ABOUT NOW with Ryan Alford on an episode of the 7 Hats Podcast. One interesting moment that stuck out was when Yuval Selik asked Ryan how he deals with his competition. Here's what he said:  "I don't think about them...I play offense, not defense. When I play defense, I lose." Interesting perspective, huh? In a world where everyone's obsessed with the competition and awards, Ryan just doesn't play that game. He focuses on doing what his business does best and going all in on that.

Awhile back, Patricia Flipp shared a story that completely changed her life. Here's the recap: She was at a big national sales meeting when an audience member approached her and said, "Patricia, I love how you speak. Can you teach our salespeople to do that? It takes us a year to prepare a one-hour presentation for a hospital, worth $9 million annually. We're losing sales because our competitors' presentations are better." This feedback was a game-changer. With it she created a training program that not only improved their sales but also revealed a timeless secret: Listen to your customers. They know what you need to succeed, no matter the economy. It's a powerful lesson on the importance of customer feedback. Sound interesting?
