Public Speaking on Stages & Podcasts with Kimberly Crowe

Hello everybody and welcome back to the show.

2

00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,731

This is the Creative Collaboration Show with Chuck Anderson.

3

00:00:06,731 --> 00:00:17,724

And this is the show where we serve business owners and entrepreneurs who are on a big

mission to make a big impact in the world with their products, their courses, their

4

00:00:17,724 --> 00:00:22,715

services, whatever that gift is that they bring to the world.

5

00:00:22,715 --> 00:00:27,076

And the one unique thing about us is that we're big impact people.

6

00:00:27,076 --> 00:00:30,221

Yes, the money is great and it is great.

7

00:00:30,221 --> 00:00:34,864

but so is the impact when we can change people's lives for the better.

8

00:00:34,864 --> 00:00:36,786

That's what really drives us forward.

9

00:00:36,786 --> 00:00:39,487

And today's guest is definitely one of those people.

10

00:00:39,487 --> 00:00:55,878

She's a good friend of mine and she serves and makes a huge impact actually by helping

people get on stages and really share everything, share your message out there in a big,

11

00:00:55,878 --> 00:01:00,067

big way through speaking and a lot of other different ways.

12

00:01:00,067 --> 00:01:02,888

Today I have Kimberly Crowe with me today.

13

00:01:02,888 --> 00:01:04,856

Kimberly, welcome to the show.

14

00:01:04,856 --> 00:01:05,938

Super glad to be here.

15

00:01:05,938 --> 00:01:06,610

Thanks, Chuck.

16

00:01:06,610 --> 00:01:07,712

It's just a delight.

17

00:01:07,712 --> 00:01:14,476

I love how you show up in the world and what you bring on this podcast to so many, the

value that's out there.

18

00:01:14,476 --> 00:01:16,650

And I'm delighted to have been invited.

19

00:01:16,951 --> 00:01:17,882

this is awesome.

20

00:01:17,882 --> 00:01:23,046

I can't believe that it's taken us three years to get you scheduled.

21

00:01:27,771 --> 00:01:28,711

Right.

22

00:01:28,752 --> 00:01:39,721

And I think that just, you know, you know, when you get too busy people trying to link up

schedules and all of that, and finally the stars have aligned and here we are.

23

00:01:39,755 --> 00:01:52,084

So, Kimberly, I think a great place to start is tell everybody a little bit more about

you, the work that you're doing, and anything else you wanna say, and we'll use that as a

24

00:01:52,084 --> 00:01:54,934

launchpad for whatever we're gonna talk about today.

25

00:01:54,934 --> 00:01:56,495

love it, I love it.

26

00:01:56,536 --> 00:02:01,780

So for those of you I haven't met yet, I'm delighted to meet you through CHECK today.

27

00:02:02,281 --> 00:02:03,693

My name is Kimberly Crowe.

28

00:02:03,693 --> 00:02:11,410

I'm an international inspirational public speaker and perhaps like many of you, a serial

entrepreneur.

29

00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:18,797

I've had the privilege of being on over 5,000 stages including TEDx in Las Vegas.

30

00:02:18,797 --> 00:02:29,370

And I believe the very fastest, easiest, and most fun way to have people get to know you

and build their know, like, and trust is by getting on other people's stages and sharing

31

00:02:29,370 --> 00:02:32,043

your passion with their audiences.

32

00:02:33,113 --> 00:02:33,613

Right?

33

00:02:33,613 --> 00:02:39,566

And you know, so many of us, I hear all the time from people, it's like, you know, where

do I find more clients?

34

00:02:39,566 --> 00:02:41,036

How can I get more clients promote me?

35

00:02:41,036 --> 00:02:42,617

And we do a lot of work with affiliates.

36

00:02:42,617 --> 00:02:45,038

How do I get more affiliates promote me and all of that?

37

00:02:45,038 --> 00:02:48,139

And I'm like, get out there and get known.

38

00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,021

It makes it so much easier.

39

00:02:51,021 --> 00:02:56,893

And I wish I could go back 20 years and just shake myself and go, dude, it's not about

what you can do.

40

00:02:56,893 --> 00:03:00,557

Go out there and meet people and speaking and.

41

00:03:00,557 --> 00:03:07,344

being on stages and podcasts and all of the wonderful things that we have today, it's

never been an easier time.

42

00:03:07,344 --> 00:03:15,232

And what would be your initial recommendation or words of encouragement to people

listening in?

43

00:03:15,232 --> 00:03:19,496

Like, why speak?

44

00:03:19,677 --> 00:03:23,853

Why take advantage of all these various stages that we have today?

45

00:03:23,853 --> 00:03:30,073

Well, it's such a powerful mechanism for getting people to understand who you are and what

you're about.

46

00:03:30,313 --> 00:03:35,533

I think I'm a big fan of video, but audio on podcasts works as well.

47

00:03:35,533 --> 00:03:37,953

And then in-person stages are super fun.

48

00:03:37,953 --> 00:03:42,833

When you meet somebody in person, you are more comfortable purchasing from them.

49

00:03:42,833 --> 00:03:44,613

You're more comfortable trusting them.

50

00:03:44,613 --> 00:03:49,873

You're more comfortable being able to say, I know this person and I like their

personality.

51

00:03:50,042 --> 00:04:02,105

Many people probably have told you Chuck over the years people buy from people you know

they like they want to buy from a company or a person they like and the the opportunity to

52

00:04:02,105 --> 00:04:13,218

get out there and be seen is much more powerful than say a Facebook ad that's just like

six words on a page or something in fact Google did a really big study called the zero

53

00:04:13,218 --> 00:04:18,605

moment of truth and I'll go over this very briefly, but the zero moment of truth is

54

00:04:18,605 --> 00:04:19,905

is what's our buying behavior?

55

00:04:19,905 --> 00:04:24,865

What do we have to do before we'll actually pull that trigger and make a buying decision?

56

00:04:24,865 --> 00:04:30,225

And if you think of your own buying behavior, you'll probably recognize some of these

ideas.

57

00:04:30,225 --> 00:04:34,625

And their methodology came into a ratio of 7-4-11.

58

00:04:34,625 --> 00:04:37,085

So you can remember that as 7-4-11.

59

00:04:37,125 --> 00:04:43,425

Seven hours of research before somebody will make a buying decision on average,

statistically speaking.

60

00:04:43,485 --> 00:04:45,621

And then they need to find...

61

00:04:45,621 --> 00:04:49,902

the person or the company in four different locations.

62

00:04:49,902 --> 00:04:51,383

And we'll go into that in a little bit.

63

00:04:51,383 --> 00:04:57,344

And they have to have 11 on average, 11 different touches for them to make a buying

decision.

64

00:04:57,505 --> 00:04:59,805

So think of the last time you bought a car check.

65

00:04:59,805 --> 00:05:05,527

If you bought a car, you probably didn't just go to a dealer and buy one that was on the

lot that was available.

66

00:05:05,527 --> 00:05:07,748

You probably did some research first, right?

67

00:05:07,748 --> 00:05:13,163

And with the advent of the internet, we don't just buy out of a catalog anymore.

68

00:05:13,163 --> 00:05:17,916

We need to find out the reviews on it, what other people think about it.

69

00:05:17,936 --> 00:05:25,221

And so if you went to buy a car perhaps, you talked to some friends about it, maybe you

rode in a friend's car, maybe you saw one on the road.

70

00:05:25,221 --> 00:05:29,063

Those are different locations where you got connection with car, right?

71

00:05:29,063 --> 00:05:36,228

And then maybe you went to a dealership and you spent some time there, maybe you took a

test drive, that's building those hours of research.

72

00:05:36,229 --> 00:05:42,356

Maybe you talked about it with a friend or a business partner or your at home partner.

73

00:05:42,356 --> 00:05:44,427

and decided, you know, was the money worth it?

74

00:05:44,427 --> 00:05:48,528

Did some calculations in finance and you're thinking about it all those different times.

75

00:05:48,528 --> 00:05:56,790

Maybe you got something in the mail or if you went to a dealership, they're probably

following up with you five or six times to see if you really wanted that car, right?

76

00:05:56,790 --> 00:06:03,151

So those are all different touches and different experiences that you have before you

actually buy the car.

77

00:06:03,151 --> 00:06:07,913

And now some of the people in the audience might say, well, Kimberly, I was way faster

than that.

78

00:06:07,913 --> 00:06:09,857

I knew what I wanted and I bought one.

79

00:06:09,857 --> 00:06:13,118

And then some of you may say, took way longer than that.

80

00:06:13,118 --> 00:06:16,039

I took two years before I bought this car.

81

00:06:16,039 --> 00:06:19,320

I invested all kinds of time and did all kinds of research.

82

00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:28,712

Well, chances are that if you are the one who takes all kinds of research, you're probably

partnered or married to somebody who buys really quickly and vice versa, right?

83

00:06:28,712 --> 00:06:35,224

If you're the one who buys quickly, then you probably are married to or partnered with

somebody who takes a long time.

84

00:06:35,224 --> 00:06:38,845

So it's kind of the average and that's how I think about it.

85

00:06:38,923 --> 00:06:50,761

Now as an entrepreneur, if you're just going by business by referral, that is one touch,

maybe 30 seconds of research and one location.

86

00:06:50,761 --> 00:06:53,183

So that could happen.

87

00:06:53,183 --> 00:06:57,286

Statistically speaking, it's not likely, but referral business is great.

88

00:06:57,286 --> 00:07:02,630

But a lot of the coaches I know hide behind like, I get word of mouth or whatever.

89

00:07:02,630 --> 00:07:07,817

And they're not making, as you say, the impact that they could make.

90

00:07:07,817 --> 00:07:14,961

if they got out there and got seen by a wider audience, if they got out there and got

podcasts that people could listen to.

91

00:07:14,961 --> 00:07:18,883

I have podcasts that I've been on that are from seven and eight years ago.

92

00:07:18,883 --> 00:07:21,925

And seven and eight years ago, that content's still out there.

93

00:07:21,925 --> 00:07:31,871

So if people want to learn more about Kimberly Crowe, there's a ton of content out there

where they can get those seven hours of content, they can get me in four or five or a

94

00:07:31,871 --> 00:07:35,947

hundred different locations, and they can certainly get those 11 touches.

95

00:07:35,947 --> 00:07:41,236

So it ensures that I have the opportunity to get people closer to that buying decision.

96

00:07:41,528 --> 00:07:46,899

You know, that's something that I wish I had realized way, way earlier.

97

00:07:47,080 --> 00:08:00,913

And because like so many business owners, you know, wanting the customers to come to them

versus doing the work to, you know, to attract them in.

98

00:08:00,913 --> 00:08:05,464

And do we attract them and do we get word of mouth referrals?

99

00:08:05,464 --> 00:08:07,085

Of course we do.

100

00:08:07,085 --> 00:08:07,757

But

101

00:08:07,757 --> 00:08:13,439

You know, and one of the things with our work with JV partners and affiliates, we call it

referrals on purpose, right?

102

00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:18,422

So what if you could take referrals and dial it up and get those.

103

00:08:18,422 --> 00:08:24,864

And I'll tell you one thing that has really amplified the whole thing for us.

104

00:08:24,864 --> 00:08:35,829

And that is being on podcasts, hosting podcasts, going to networking events, countless

networking events, and speaking like any...

105

00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:40,792

opportunity we have to speak anywhere and get known for something.

106

00:08:40,792 --> 00:08:47,015

And so that has been huge for us.

107

00:08:47,556 --> 00:08:53,990

So thinking about that entrepreneur who's, well, know, I get it, you know, referrals,

like, what are you hearing from them?

108

00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:56,661

Like, what's holding them back?

109

00:08:56,801 --> 00:09:03,985

And what's stopping them from going out there and just letting everybody know what it is

that they do and what they stand for?

110

00:09:04,225 --> 00:09:08,328

Well, I think it could be a combination of things, but two of them really pop to the top.

111

00:09:08,328 --> 00:09:11,410

Number one is they don't want to sound salesy.

112

00:09:11,410 --> 00:09:20,676

They don't want to get up and do a speak to sell where they pitch and they sell people and

they talk people into, they want people to come to them, right?

113

00:09:20,676 --> 00:09:24,678

So that's the number one thing is they're nervous about sounding salesy.

114

00:09:24,678 --> 00:09:29,505

But if you're on a podcast, you're really just talking about your passion and then

people...

115

00:09:29,505 --> 00:09:36,050

from that podcast that are listening get to know you more and then may follow you and then

go down the buying journey.

116

00:09:36,171 --> 00:09:39,814

So I find that very, very successful to be able to do that.

117

00:09:39,814 --> 00:09:48,000

And I don't think having a conversation with somebody is really a sales job unless you

consider that everything that we do is kind of a sales job, right?

118

00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:56,647

If we're trying to get our children to take out the trash or husband to set the dinner

table, that would be, you know, that's a little bit of a sales job in and of itself.

119

00:09:56,647 --> 00:09:58,989

So you can either think of it either way.

120

00:09:59,194 --> 00:10:03,017

But just having a conversation with somebody doesn't have to feel salesy.

121

00:10:03,017 --> 00:10:06,440

The second one is that people think they're not ready yet.

122

00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:11,424

Now this one blows my mind because most of you have been speaking since two or three.

123

00:10:11,424 --> 00:10:14,366

So you are ready to be able to speak.

124

00:10:14,366 --> 00:10:21,852

And I know people say, well yeah, but I get so nervous on stage or I need to get prepared

or I have to have everything perfect.

125

00:10:21,852 --> 00:10:23,853

Well, here's a news flash.

126

00:10:23,933 --> 00:10:25,975

Nobody will be perfect ever.

127

00:10:25,975 --> 00:10:34,832

Even the ones that you see out there that are professional actors and actresses or

professional speakers, they're not perfect either because we're all human and we all make

128

00:10:34,832 --> 00:10:37,604

mistakes and we all are evolving.

129

00:10:37,604 --> 00:10:42,127

My favorite way to get really comfortable speaking is podcasts.

130

00:10:42,127 --> 00:10:49,473

Either by podcast guesting on other podcasts or pulling up your bootstraps and deciding

that you'll have a podcast of your own.

131

00:10:49,473 --> 00:10:56,778

and then inviting friends and guests to come onto your podcast and share with them and

just talk with them for a little while.

132

00:10:56,778 --> 00:11:00,800

The best way to get good at speaking is to publicly speak.

133

00:11:00,900 --> 00:11:03,552

That's the best way to do it, is to just do it.

134

00:11:03,552 --> 00:11:07,845

It's called aversion therapy or exposure therapy, right?

135

00:11:07,845 --> 00:11:09,666

That you just have to do it.

136

00:11:09,666 --> 00:11:15,339

And when you get off that first podcast and you're like, wow, I didn't die.

137

00:11:15,339 --> 00:11:19,490

Your brain is like, okay, this is safer than I thought it was, right?

138

00:11:19,490 --> 00:11:26,993

There is a fear out there where it is fear, it's a fear worse than death for a lot of

people is to publicly speak.

139

00:11:27,033 --> 00:11:36,156

But when you consider that it's just a conversation with your friend of yours, somebody as

nice as Chuck, and just talking with them, it can really alleviate that fear.

140

00:11:36,156 --> 00:11:40,152

And it doesn't feel, especially on a podcast, it doesn't feel like...

141

00:11:40,152 --> 00:11:45,425

there's this huge audience listening in because it's just a conversation between you two.

142

00:11:45,425 --> 00:11:52,789

However, when that podcast goes live, you've had a nice relaxed conversation with somebody

that other people can then listen to.

143

00:11:52,789 --> 00:11:57,592

And now it does get a wider reach and a bigger audience.

144

00:11:57,592 --> 00:12:05,596

I've built my list to 50,000 by speaking on other people's podcasts and my own stages and

other people's stages.

145

00:12:05,596 --> 00:12:07,009

Being able to do that.

146

00:12:07,009 --> 00:12:11,291

gives you lot of exposure and leverage and business growth.

147

00:12:12,227 --> 00:12:16,192

You know, and a great place to start is being a guest on a podcast.

148

00:12:16,192 --> 00:12:22,381

pretty sure I, I mean, I've been speaking on stages now for 20 years.

149

00:12:22,381 --> 00:12:24,453

And I remember my first one was.

150

00:12:24,483 --> 00:12:28,335

It's very nervous and all of the stuff, but you get over it.

151

00:12:28,335 --> 00:12:31,166

so each one gets easier and easier and easier.

152

00:12:31,166 --> 00:12:34,538

But today, we didn't have podcasts back then.

153

00:12:34,598 --> 00:12:41,922

But if we did, I would have done that first because being on a podcast, being a guest on a

podcast is a super easy thing to do.

154

00:12:41,922 --> 00:12:44,463

And most hosts are very nice.

155

00:12:44,643 --> 00:12:49,015

But I love, there's a quote that you said just a few minutes ago.

156

00:12:49,015 --> 00:12:52,668

And that is if you want to get good at public speaking, you should publicly speak.

157

00:12:52,668 --> 00:13:01,576

And so I'm thinking, you mean if you do the thing that you want to get good at, just go

and do it.

158

00:13:01,576 --> 00:13:08,181

you know, and for those, and you said earlier too, that business owners and coaches, they

want to get referrals.

159

00:13:08,462 --> 00:13:17,613

Just this last month, I've received about five referrals from either shows I've been on or

guests that I've had on.

160

00:13:17,613 --> 00:13:18,014

Right?

161

00:13:18,014 --> 00:13:21,833

So you want to amplify the referrals and the word of mouth that you're getting?

162

00:13:21,833 --> 00:13:23,906

Podcasts.

163

00:13:24,045 --> 00:13:33,245

Absolutely and once they come and they've pulled that trigger and they've made that buying

decision after maybe four seven four eleven or maybe more maybe a little less After

164

00:13:33,245 --> 00:13:42,205

they've done that and they're in your world and they've made a buying decision with you

now they become part of the Pareto principle which is the 80-20 rule and 80 % of your

165

00:13:42,205 --> 00:13:47,625

clients generate I'm sorry 20 % of your clients generate 80 % of your income.

166

00:13:47,625 --> 00:13:50,136

So the people who are already clients

167

00:13:50,136 --> 00:13:57,215

that have already spent money with you are more likely to buy again and refer you out and

tell other people about you.

168

00:13:57,215 --> 00:13:59,578

But you've got to get new people coming in the door.

169

00:13:59,578 --> 00:14:08,069

And the way that I love to do that is by getting on those stages and then nurturing those

people into sale after sale and referral after referral.

170

00:14:08,685 --> 00:14:09,565

love it.

171

00:14:09,565 --> 00:14:18,528

So we've been standing on our soapbox here today about getting out there and speaking and

getting the word out and getting known.

172

00:14:18,828 --> 00:14:22,189

So for those listening in, like, what do you see are the next steps?

173

00:14:22,189 --> 00:14:26,040

We've talked a little bit about the fears and what's holding them back and the

opportunities.

174

00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:35,531

And what do you see as some of the next steps for someone to take to really start getting

themselves out there and getting known for what they do?

175

00:14:35,531 --> 00:14:40,202

Yeah, I think one of the things that people make the mistake of is they don't get started.

176

00:14:40,202 --> 00:14:41,363

They don't start.

177

00:14:41,363 --> 00:14:42,803

And you can start anywhere.

178

00:14:42,803 --> 00:14:44,754

And people think, where should I start?

179

00:14:44,754 --> 00:14:47,064

What's the best podcast for me to get on?

180

00:14:47,064 --> 00:14:49,715

Any of them are the best podcast for you to get on in the beginning.

181

00:14:49,715 --> 00:14:54,887

my motto is, if somebody hands me a mic, I say yes.

182

00:14:54,887 --> 00:15:03,359

So it's probable that somewhere in your world, somebody is reaching out to you saying,

hey, know, I'd love to have you maybe speak to my audience or.

183

00:15:03,359 --> 00:15:12,514

my membership group or what I'd love for you to share this with some of my friends, things

like that, that could potentially be a stage and an opportunity to speak.

184

00:15:12,514 --> 00:15:21,780

But then beyond that, there are ways to get on stages and what you really wanna do is get

on the stage in front of the audience that's your ideal audience.

185

00:15:21,780 --> 00:15:28,023

Now, this is where people kind of really get a little bit of skew of what they really

wanna do.

186

00:15:28,023 --> 00:15:31,775

If you work in the world of, let's say mindset, right?

187

00:15:31,798 --> 00:15:42,058

mindset everybody could benefit from mindset so you think your audience is everybody and

When you serve everybody you serve nobody because you're not specific in being able to

188

00:15:42,058 --> 00:15:53,889

help a particular group But if you help fourth grade teachers Then not only will the

fourth grade teachers think that you're an expert and can really help them But also other

189

00:15:53,889 --> 00:15:57,432

teachers will lean in and be like she helps teachers, right?

190

00:15:57,432 --> 00:15:59,484

fourth grade teachers, but she could probably also help me.

191

00:15:59,484 --> 00:16:05,749

And then other people will sort of lean in or they might know a fourth grade teacher or

they might know a teacher who could benefit.

192

00:16:05,749 --> 00:16:11,383

So as soon as you narrow down who you serve, then other people will lean in and want that.

193

00:16:11,383 --> 00:16:13,415

Like, could you help me too?

194

00:16:13,415 --> 00:16:21,221

And of course you can always say yes, but I think going broad makes people think, she

probably doesn't understand my problem.

195

00:16:21,301 --> 00:16:23,362

So if you help in mindset, that's great.

196

00:16:23,362 --> 00:16:32,768

But do you help in mindset with somebody who's going through a divorce at the same time

they're losing maybe one of their parents and maybe they have a special needs child?

197

00:16:32,768 --> 00:16:35,029

They might say, you can't help me with my mindset.

198

00:16:35,029 --> 00:16:36,030

Mine's different.

199

00:16:36,030 --> 00:16:42,134

And while you could, if you specialized in any of those groups, that person would probably

reach out to you.

200

00:16:42,134 --> 00:16:48,173

So my first recommendation is find a niche that you specialize in and get really good at

that.

201

00:16:48,173 --> 00:16:55,293

serving those people, learning what they really, really need, and then find stages to be

able to help those people.

202

00:16:55,293 --> 00:16:59,053

If you don't know what your niche is, here's two ways that you can find out.

203

00:16:59,053 --> 00:17:02,153

Number one, who's already buying your stuff?

204

00:17:02,153 --> 00:17:03,113

Is it women?

205

00:17:03,113 --> 00:17:04,113

Is it men?

206

00:17:04,113 --> 00:17:06,613

Is it people over 40 or under 40?

207

00:17:06,613 --> 00:17:11,233

Is it people who have really had a recent loss or a trauma?

208

00:17:11,233 --> 00:17:16,747

what is it, like, let's get in and who is it that is already buying your stuff?

209

00:17:16,747 --> 00:17:19,458

because whatever you're doing is resonating with them.

210

00:17:19,458 --> 00:17:24,340

The second question to ask is, do I still want to work with those people?

211

00:17:24,861 --> 00:17:30,303

Sometimes people buy your stuff and you're like, you are not my favorite client.

212

00:17:30,863 --> 00:17:37,646

And if that happens, then you need to retarget your material so that you're bringing in

the right kinds of people for you.

213

00:17:37,646 --> 00:17:43,522

If I had to work with anybody for the rest of my life, I don't know about the rest of my

life because life changes.

214

00:17:43,522 --> 00:17:53,579

but I love serving entrepreneurs, coaches, speakers, authors who have a program but

they're not getting enough sales and they're nervous about sales.

215

00:17:53,579 --> 00:17:57,992

They don't want to do sales, but they know they have a program that's going to make a

difference in the world.

216

00:17:57,992 --> 00:17:59,252

Those are my people.

217

00:17:59,252 --> 00:18:03,375

So I always try to get on podcasts that serve those same kinds of people.

218

00:18:03,375 --> 00:18:06,697

And that's what you should look for when you're looking at a podcast.

219

00:18:06,697 --> 00:18:09,539

Once you find one, all you have to do is ask.

220

00:18:09,539 --> 00:18:11,580

You just have to reach out and talk to them.

221

00:18:11,580 --> 00:18:12,737

Don't pitch.

222

00:18:12,737 --> 00:18:17,730

Don't send a thing that says, my great stuff would be really amazing for your audience.

223

00:18:17,730 --> 00:18:18,380

don't do that.

224

00:18:18,380 --> 00:18:19,521

We'd throw those away.

225

00:18:19,521 --> 00:18:22,122

But just reach out to us and have a conversation.

226

00:18:22,122 --> 00:18:28,745

And oftentimes, you will be surprised at how many people would say, I would love to have

you as a guest on my show.

227

00:18:29,421 --> 00:18:35,941

You know, as a host of three podcasts, I'll chime in there and say, just be a real person.

228

00:18:35,941 --> 00:18:36,845

All right?

229

00:18:36,845 --> 00:18:48,552

Like when I get the CEO of blah, blah, blah, who, you know, just invented a new program

and they're like, and some agency is pitching me on them being the show, I hit delete

230

00:18:48,552 --> 00:18:49,799

instantly.

231

00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:50,299

it's true.

232

00:18:50,299 --> 00:18:52,543

We have to like you to put you on our shows.

233

00:18:52,617 --> 00:18:53,989

Right, exactly.

234

00:18:53,989 --> 00:19:00,109

The majority of the people who are on my show, I've met through networking events.

235

00:19:00,109 --> 00:19:05,549

I've met at our speakers playhouse, which you have and...

236

00:19:05,549 --> 00:19:07,961

By the way, if you don't know what Speaker's Playhouse is, you need to be there.

237

00:19:07,961 --> 00:19:11,655

We'll put all the information behind the in the show notes here.

238

00:19:11,655 --> 00:19:19,954

But different networking events like people that we've met in breakout rooms and it's

like, yeah, I like you or we serve the same audience.

239

00:19:19,954 --> 00:19:21,445

Let's get on a show.

240

00:19:21,465 --> 00:19:27,509

I look at it as a way to get to know someone better, to see if I want to do more with

them.

241

00:19:27,509 --> 00:19:28,529

Right.

242

00:19:28,651 --> 00:19:33,324

Yes, there's hidden agenda sometimes in those podcasts.

243

00:19:33,324 --> 00:19:39,669

Sometimes we interview people that we're like, this might be a really good partner for us.

244

00:19:39,669 --> 00:19:42,711

This might be a really good person that I want to do business with.

245

00:19:42,711 --> 00:19:44,592

And then we do an interview.

246

00:19:45,593 --> 00:19:48,025

then sort of, I really like this person.

247

00:19:48,025 --> 00:19:49,036

I think they're funny.

248

00:19:49,036 --> 00:19:50,017

I think they're fun.

249

00:19:50,017 --> 00:19:51,538

I like their background.

250

00:19:51,538 --> 00:19:54,330

And then figure out afterwards, like, I really enjoy this.

251

00:19:54,330 --> 00:19:55,260

How can we work together?

252

00:19:55,260 --> 00:19:56,246

What's next?

253

00:19:56,246 --> 00:19:58,420

what's next that we can play together.

254

00:19:58,420 --> 00:20:01,887

And my motto is if it's not fun, it's not worth doing.

255

00:20:01,887 --> 00:20:04,843

So I'm always looking for fun people that I want to play with.

256

00:20:04,843 --> 00:20:08,299

And I think those are the folks that I tend to have on my shows.

257

00:20:08,633 --> 00:20:12,454

That motto has certainly inspired me because sometimes work is work.

258

00:20:12,474 --> 00:20:15,515

But let's face it.

259

00:20:15,515 --> 00:20:17,365

But you know, we're having fun right now.

260

00:20:17,365 --> 00:20:22,727

And definitely I those words do ring in my mind more often than not.

261

00:20:22,727 --> 00:20:25,498

It's like, yeah, how could I make this fun?

262

00:20:25,498 --> 00:20:26,558

I love that.

263

00:20:26,558 --> 00:20:37,699

And speaking of fun and getting on stages, you've created an opportunity for people to

make it super easy to get some podcasts to be interviewed on and just

264

00:20:37,699 --> 00:20:38,950

Damn fun.

265

00:20:39,232 --> 00:20:40,593

Absolutely.

266

00:20:41,736 --> 00:20:47,338

So you want to tell everybody about that and yeah, let's give them the opportunity to do

that.

267

00:20:47,338 --> 00:20:57,284

So if you're listening and you think, gosh, I'd really like to get on a podcast or two or

three or four or five, we would love to invite you to come check out Potapalooza.

268

00:20:57,284 --> 00:21:03,427

Potapalooza is an event for people who are wanting to get on podcasts and people who have

podcasts.

269

00:21:03,427 --> 00:21:07,950

And it is an all-day, totally awesome electrified event.

270

00:21:07,950 --> 00:21:09,151

It's virtual.

271

00:21:09,151 --> 00:21:13,823

And so you can join from any place that has an internet connection.

272

00:21:13,949 --> 00:21:25,310

During the day on the main stage we bring in speakers who talk about how to get referrals

from speaking on podcasts how to be able to grow your business and grow your list how to

273

00:21:25,310 --> 00:21:35,559

be able to make a proper call to action how to develop a funnel so that people move along

their buying journey and how to make money from podcast guesting and Make money from

274

00:21:35,559 --> 00:21:39,736

podcast hosting to make it the best possible experience for you

275

00:21:39,736 --> 00:21:46,589

So that all happens on the main stage and we have a variety of really powerful speakers

that come on and then you do workshopping.

276

00:21:46,589 --> 00:21:57,373

It is not a summit, it actually is an implementation event where you're taking action

during the event and workshopping and meeting other people and networking and you get to

277

00:21:57,373 --> 00:22:00,955

meet our featured podcasters during the event.

278

00:22:00,955 --> 00:22:06,317

Our featured podcasters, we usually have 25 to 30 of them that we're highlighting each

time we do it.

279

00:22:06,317 --> 00:22:12,697

Our next one as of the podcast or when we're recording today is June 18th, 2025.

280

00:22:13,397 --> 00:22:23,537

But there might be, if you go to podapalooza.com, you can find what our latest one is, or

Chuck will put a link in the chat so that you can go to his affiliate link for that.

281

00:22:23,537 --> 00:22:26,157

And he will know where you all came from.

282

00:22:26,157 --> 00:22:28,617

And that would be a benefit to all of us.

283

00:22:29,397 --> 00:22:31,797

The VIPs during the event.

284

00:22:31,937 --> 00:22:42,160

Get to watch what happens on the main stage, but they actually get a special privilege a

couple of them One of them is that they can be on up to five podcasts during the event not

285

00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:55,245

just meet the podcasters But actually record content in private breakout rooms with up to

five podcasters during the event So one day up to five podcasts could get knocked out on

286

00:22:55,245 --> 00:22:56,757

different people's podcasts

287

00:22:56,757 --> 00:23:00,522

all of them with different amounts of downloads and different exposure.

288

00:23:00,522 --> 00:23:14,801

You can be on those podcasts and you can get exposed to up to 10 or 15,000 people in the

coming months after Potapalooza just based on their downloads and their listenership.

289

00:23:15,851 --> 00:23:17,843

It's an amazing, amazing event.

290

00:23:17,843 --> 00:23:20,504

think I've been there, what, four or five times.

291

00:23:20,525 --> 00:23:25,249

And the last time I was there as a podcaster, I think I interviewed nine or 10 people.

292

00:23:25,249 --> 00:23:26,770

It was a marathon.

293

00:23:26,770 --> 00:23:29,712

But imagine getting all of that done in one day.

294

00:23:29,712 --> 00:23:39,721

As a podcaster, if you need guests, definitely look at becoming a featured podcaster on

Podapalooza because you can get it all done in one day.

295

00:23:39,721 --> 00:23:45,624

And then as a guest, getting exposure to podcasters who are right there and

296

00:23:45,624 --> 00:23:49,576

you can get interviewed on the spot.

297

00:23:49,697 --> 00:23:50,558

Amazing.

298

00:23:50,558 --> 00:23:56,882

So all of the links for PadaPalooza, and you wanna get more information, go watch the

video.

299

00:23:56,882 --> 00:23:58,703

You might see me in the video.

300

00:23:58,703 --> 00:23:59,924

I am in there.

301

00:24:00,204 --> 00:24:03,186

So go watch the video on the website.

302

00:24:03,186 --> 00:24:11,872

And by the way, click the link below beneath this video or in the podcast show notes, get

your ticket to the next PadaPalooza.

303

00:24:11,872 --> 00:24:13,097

When you do that,

304

00:24:13,097 --> 00:24:26,163

email me and I'm going to send you a free copy of my podcasting for partners masterclass

where we teach how we monetize podcasts both as a guest and as a host.

305

00:24:26,163 --> 00:24:32,927

So not only can you get yourself on some shows, but you can start making some money from

being on shows or hosting shows as well.

306

00:24:32,927 --> 00:24:34,127

So, so there you go.

307

00:24:34,127 --> 00:24:37,189

Free gift for you for doing that.

308

00:24:37,189 --> 00:24:37,579

And

309

00:24:37,579 --> 00:24:38,010

valuable.

310

00:24:38,010 --> 00:24:44,034

I know a lot of people don't have all of the strategies that you are going to give.

311

00:24:44,034 --> 00:24:48,877

That's a huge gift because a lot of people won't make the most of their podcast

experience.

312

00:24:48,877 --> 00:24:58,604

We encourage people to get on and get started, but as you start doing them more, you

really want to learn some of these stronger techniques to be able to convert listeners

313

00:24:58,604 --> 00:25:01,886

into your list and then into buyers as well.

314

00:25:01,886 --> 00:25:05,897

So please take advantage of that opportunity with Chuck.

315

00:25:05,897 --> 00:25:10,714

let him know that you got your ticket and get that free gift as well.

316

00:25:10,714 --> 00:25:12,037

Thank you for doing that.

317

00:25:12,247 --> 00:25:13,517

Yeah, absolutely.

318

00:25:13,517 --> 00:25:19,659

you know, it's the I got the idea from Potter Palooza one.

319

00:25:20,199 --> 00:25:22,260

And I had no idea what it was.

320

00:25:22,260 --> 00:25:25,601

And I remember Michelle, your co-host.

321

00:25:25,781 --> 00:25:30,952

And so and so Michelle emailed me going, I'm doing this thing with Kimberly Crowe.

322

00:25:30,952 --> 00:25:32,823

And I'm like, I don't know Kimberly Crowe.

323

00:25:32,823 --> 00:25:35,014

And and yeah, it's called Potter Palooza.

324

00:25:35,014 --> 00:25:35,574

You should be there.

325

00:25:35,574 --> 00:25:37,164

I'm like, OK, I was there.

326

00:25:37,164 --> 00:25:38,475

Had my camera off.

327

00:25:38,475 --> 00:25:39,641

I'm kind of just checking it out.

328

00:25:39,641 --> 00:25:40,505

I'm like.

329

00:25:40,722 --> 00:25:41,362

my God.

330

00:25:41,362 --> 00:25:44,835

And I had to go and like do my hair, get my camera back on.

331

00:25:44,835 --> 00:25:46,806

So I'm like, this thing is amazing.

332

00:25:46,806 --> 00:25:50,848

And have been at almost every Potapalooza since.

333

00:25:50,848 --> 00:25:53,890

Just that's the reality of being a busy business owner.

334

00:25:54,090 --> 00:25:55,221

But I've spoken at it.

335

00:25:55,221 --> 00:25:56,971

I've podcast at it.

336

00:25:57,572 --> 00:25:59,593

I've, I've so many things.

337

00:25:59,593 --> 00:26:01,074

It's an amazing event.

338

00:26:01,074 --> 00:26:06,297

And, but, but my story there was on Potapalooza 1, I went.

339

00:26:06,305 --> 00:26:11,890

And I'm like, well, I already use a podcast to get affiliates and partners and monetize.

340

00:26:11,890 --> 00:26:15,923

And I registered podcastingforpartners.com right there.

341

00:26:15,923 --> 00:26:18,756

And then during podapalooza one.

342

00:26:18,756 --> 00:26:21,698

And so it just fits so well.

343

00:26:21,698 --> 00:26:26,483

It was what inspired me while I was there.

344

00:26:26,483 --> 00:26:28,284

So, and that's been a whole thing.

345

00:26:28,284 --> 00:26:30,186

That's why I have three shows.

346

00:26:30,186 --> 00:26:34,163

It's our number one recruiting tool for affiliates.

347

00:26:34,163 --> 00:26:36,014

and joint venture partners.

348

00:26:36,014 --> 00:26:45,747

And so that's a whole other subject, but at the very least, you need to be a guest on a

podcast and then get into hosting a podcast.

349

00:26:45,747 --> 00:26:47,895

You're going to meet so many amazing people.

350

00:26:47,895 --> 00:26:55,968

So if you follow Check It All, you know that affiliate relationships and having partners

be able to share who you are and what you're up to in the world is very powerful.

351

00:26:55,968 --> 00:27:05,153

Getting on their podcast is one way of creating a partnership because you and they are

creating content together and then you'll promote it and they'll promote it as well.

352

00:27:05,153 --> 00:27:07,794

So that's already one level of promotion.

353

00:27:07,794 --> 00:27:15,287

But if you decide that you want to start a podcast and have other partners, potential

partners on it, then you have the opportunity.

354

00:27:15,287 --> 00:27:18,421

to come bearing gifts when you enter a relationship.

355

00:27:18,421 --> 00:27:26,913

Because you can say to somebody that you would really enjoy, if you want to be a partner

with them, that you can say, would love to have you be a guest on my podcast.

356

00:27:26,913 --> 00:27:29,476

Let's start there and then see what develops.

357

00:27:29,476 --> 00:27:30,443

And that.

358

00:27:30,443 --> 00:27:39,057

that offer, you would be surprised at how many really powerful people that you want to

partner with suddenly just have a lot of interest in working with you.

359

00:27:39,057 --> 00:27:46,320

People that maybe you thought were too big or have too big a list or have too big a

following that you weren't really in that realm.

360

00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:55,164

As soon as you invite them to be on your podcast, you'd be surprised at how many people

just say yes because they know the power of getting on other people's stages.

361

00:27:55,164 --> 00:27:58,187

So consider starting your own podcast.

362

00:27:58,187 --> 00:28:07,503

work with Chuck to find out how to really build those relationships with people and start

really making money with affiliate partnerships and having them promote you and you

363

00:28:07,503 --> 00:28:11,409

promote them and Having everybody have it as a win-win

364

00:28:12,025 --> 00:28:19,621

100 % and I would say that not only is it easier than you think, now it's kind of a game.

365

00:28:19,621 --> 00:28:24,676

It's like, so now I think it is easy because we've been doing it and it's a game.

366

00:28:24,676 --> 00:28:28,979

What is the bigger and bigger name that I can reach out to where they will just say yes.

367

00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,752

They don't ask you how many downloads you have.

368

00:28:31,752 --> 00:28:33,613

They don't ask you how many followers you have.

369

00:28:33,613 --> 00:28:41,015

They just say, sure, I'll love to be on a podcast and take advantage of that while the

marketing world is still like that.

370

00:28:41,015 --> 00:28:48,131

Well, you're touching on something that says, we're going to the advanced class now, but

you're touching on something that the big guys, the big girls know.

371

00:28:48,131 --> 00:28:58,749

And they know that even getting on a beginning podcast can be super powerful because when

people listen to podcasts, often they'll go back to number one through 10 and listen to

372

00:28:58,749 --> 00:28:59,960

those from the very beginning.

373

00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:04,084

If they run across a podcast they like, they'll go back and listen to the early episodes.

374

00:29:04,084 --> 00:29:10,773

So if you have a chance to get on a newer podcast that's just starting out, saying yes can

be very powerful.

375

00:29:10,773 --> 00:29:13,935

And the big players in this industry understand that.

376

00:29:13,935 --> 00:29:18,599

So if you're just starting out, never be afraid to invite somebody on your podcast.

377

00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:28,005

I know there is one particular big name, big name that I think Chuck and I both thinking

about who has made it a goal to just to get on as many podcasts as he possibly can.

378

00:29:28,005 --> 00:29:31,510

He's just saying yes to everybody and he will promote them.

379

00:29:31,510 --> 00:29:38,955

He will email them and promote them in social media, put them in his newsletter and just

really help you grow.

380

00:29:38,955 --> 00:29:42,814

because he knows how powerful it is to get on other people's platforms.

381

00:29:43,642 --> 00:29:45,983

Absolutely, just do it.

382

00:29:46,704 --> 00:29:47,525

Just do it.

383

00:29:47,525 --> 00:29:50,126

And if you don't know how to do it, then go to Potapalooza.

384

00:29:50,126 --> 00:29:52,467

We've talked about that.

385

00:29:52,748 --> 00:29:56,770

All the links are right beneath this video are in your podcast show notes.

386

00:29:57,171 --> 00:30:07,217

Kimberly, we're almost out of time, but while I have you here and you're my captive

audience, I ask all of my guests this question because personal growth, self-development

387

00:30:07,217 --> 00:30:08,898

is near and to my heart.

388

00:30:08,898 --> 00:30:10,129

We'll have you on the other show.

389

00:30:10,129 --> 00:30:12,881

We'll talk about that one because we do.

390

00:30:13,273 --> 00:30:15,293

Books have been such a big part of my journey.

391

00:30:15,293 --> 00:30:20,873

I always say to our audience that, you your business will only grow to the extent that you

do.

392

00:30:21,392 --> 00:30:23,693

so I have thousands of books.

393

00:30:23,693 --> 00:30:25,693

Those are just some of them back there.

394

00:30:25,693 --> 00:30:39,433

But if you could recommend just one book that could change a life or has been changed your

life or just that is a must read recommendation, is there one that you could think of?

395

00:30:39,533 --> 00:30:42,415

Well, there are many, and you've heard of lots of them, I'm sure, on this show.

396

00:30:42,415 --> 00:30:49,340

This one you probably haven't heard of, and it, for me, was a really transformational

book.

397

00:30:50,101 --> 00:30:55,645

I mean, there's always the Think and Grow Rich and all of those that everybody has heard

about, how to make friends and influence people.

398

00:30:55,645 --> 00:30:58,467

There's one book called Rejection Proof.

399

00:30:58,467 --> 00:31:01,249

It's by a gentleman by the name of Jia Jiang.

400

00:31:01,249 --> 00:31:07,012

He's Asian, and he is terrified of getting rejected.

401

00:31:07,637 --> 00:31:17,442

So he goes on a quest to get 100 days of rejection so he can get used to it and

comfortable with it so he's never not terrified of it anymore.

402

00:31:17,442 --> 00:31:19,163

And he starts a blog.

403

00:31:19,163 --> 00:31:24,105

He's gonna blog on these 100 days of rejection and what the experience is like.

404

00:31:24,105 --> 00:31:29,468

And he's absolutely way more timid than anybody on your show, as timid as anybody could

be.

405

00:31:29,468 --> 00:31:32,246

He's so timid and nervous at the very first.

406

00:31:32,246 --> 00:31:37,308

And as you get, it's not until it's like day number five, you're already cheering him on.

407

00:31:37,308 --> 00:31:41,389

You're in his corner and he's doing great already.

408

00:31:41,389 --> 00:31:47,711

And he does complete a hundred days of rejection and starts becoming a real big name in

the industry.

409

00:31:47,711 --> 00:31:53,073

He's at the end, he's a huge influencer and it wasn't by design.

410

00:31:53,073 --> 00:31:56,824

He just wanted to not be terrified when somebody rejected him anymore.

411

00:31:56,824 --> 00:32:01,634

But the story as it unfolds is a true story and it's so inspiring.

412

00:32:01,634 --> 00:32:03,639

It gives me chills to think about it.

413

00:32:03,639 --> 00:32:12,456

If you read this book and let me know that you read the book and let me know what you got

out of it, I would love to hear back from you because this one is such, it's so unknown

414

00:32:12,456 --> 00:32:14,107

and it's so fantastic.

415

00:32:14,107 --> 00:32:16,839

It's called Rejection Proof by Jia Zhang.

416

00:32:18,169 --> 00:32:23,072

I have never heard of that before, but what a huge endorsement.

417

00:32:23,072 --> 00:32:25,113

just love the way you described it.

418

00:32:25,113 --> 00:32:29,774

Yeah, that's gonna have to go on the must read list for sure.

419

00:32:29,835 --> 00:32:35,157

And to make it easy for you, the listener, I'll put all the links beneath the video and in

the podcast show notes.

420

00:32:35,157 --> 00:32:38,298

So there's a lot of links for you to check out, but you gotta go and do it.

421

00:32:38,519 --> 00:32:43,140

The main thing about this show is we wanna inspire you to take action and...

422

00:32:43,969 --> 00:32:47,430

you know, go and make that big impact and all of the things you want to do in the world.

423

00:32:47,430 --> 00:32:50,311

And hopefully we've given you that here today.

424

00:32:50,311 --> 00:32:51,811

Kimberly, thank you.

425

00:32:52,011 --> 00:32:57,953

I'm so glad that, you know, I'm so grateful for all the collaborations we've done and to

have you as a friend.

426

00:32:57,953 --> 00:33:00,034

It's been fantastic.

427

00:33:00,114 --> 00:33:08,956

And I just love all of the the nuggets of wisdom that you've shared here with with

everybody here today and the inspiration.

428

00:33:09,096 --> 00:33:11,179

And like you said, it should be fun.

429

00:33:11,179 --> 00:33:13,373

So have fun along the way.

430

00:33:13,373 --> 00:33:19,573

Any final words of wisdom or piece of advice you want to share, leave our audience with

here today as we sign off.

431

00:33:19,573 --> 00:33:20,696

Absolutely.

432

00:33:20,696 --> 00:33:23,362

So if it's not fun, it's not worth doing is my tagline.

433

00:33:23,362 --> 00:33:28,012

But my message to you is if somebody hands you a mic, you say yes.

434

00:33:29,099 --> 00:33:32,871

If somebody hands you a mic, you say, yes, we've handed you a mic today.

435

00:33:32,871 --> 00:33:35,412

Go to Podapalooza, get on the mic.

436

00:33:36,052 --> 00:33:38,754

And if you think you'd be a good guest for this show, reach out to me.

437

00:33:38,754 --> 00:33:42,295

I'll have you on my show here as well.

438

00:33:42,295 --> 00:33:43,796

Kimberly, thank you so much.

439

00:33:43,796 --> 00:33:47,798

And to our audience, I want this to mean something here today.

440

00:33:47,798 --> 00:33:53,480

Think of one thing that you heard us talk about here today and take action.

441

00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:59,403

Maybe we inspired you to reach out to that event host or that podcast

442

00:33:59,403 --> 00:34:04,525

or maybe you're gonna launch a podcast, take a step towards that today.

443

00:34:04,525 --> 00:34:08,937

And if you don't know what step to take, then go down beneath this video and register for

Potapalooza.

444

00:34:08,937 --> 00:34:13,549

There's a step and then we will keep guiding you from there.

445

00:34:13,549 --> 00:34:22,007

Remember, there's no obstacle too big to be overcome in your business and your journey to

make a big impact in the world.

446

00:34:22,007 --> 00:34:24,139

You absolutely can do this.

447

00:34:24,139 --> 00:34:29,705

You might just be one collaboration away from the big breakthrough that you need.

448

00:34:29,705 --> 00:34:34,829

Maybe Kimberly is that person to really help you get to the next level.

449

00:34:34,829 --> 00:34:37,332
