Todays guest has a story that is fascinating for so many reasons. Number one due to the hustle that he has shown. Number two how it seemed that life was simply using him as a skittle and throwing obstacles after obstacles in his direction. The kind of obstacles that for many would be the end of the dreams, and desires for a better life. When he hit the age of 27, he knew that he had to take action in his life. He was fat, broke and miserable and living a life that was far from what he wanted it to be. So he started working twice as hard on a real estate business that would net him a nice amount of passive income each month. Not life changing as such, but still more than enough to start focusing on his next dreams. And that is where it all went wrong, as after a years hard work, and almost touching dream of the monthly income, he received a message saying that he had defaulted on his mortgage and everything went south. So what did he do to pull himself out of this hole that was not of his making? How did he not think "See that's why life is so rubbish" and just give up, and go back to being fat, broke and unhappy? Well, lets find out, as its with delight that I bring on to he show to start joining up the dots of his life, the successful podcaster, online marketer, hustle monster, and ex-fat guy...Mr Jonny Andrews Dream Jobs, Online Courses, Persistence, Personal Trainer, Decision Making, Publicity, Young Entrepreneur, Freedom, Addicted, Shawn Stevenson, American Hustle, Make Money Online, Motivational Quotes, Expedition, Challenges, Steve Jobs, How To Start A Business, The Secret, Rich, Online Marketing, Time Management, Blogger, Videos, Recruiting, Authentic, Travel Blogs, Ultra Running, American Football, How To Make Money, Online Business, Company Culture, Law Of Attraction, Planet Money, Jobs, Video Marketing, Linkedin, Success Principles, Digital Marketing, Action Taking, Starting A Business, Successful Entrepreneurs, Personal Branding, Amazon, Lead Generation, Career Change, Life Planner, Comfort zone, Simplicity, Break The Rules, Book Launches, Personal Finance, Secret To Success, Business Plan, Health And Fitness, Tech Startup, Self Publishing, Entrepreneurs, Love, Career Path, Educational, Creativity, Selling, motivation, motivational, inspiration, confidence, success, freedom |

So I will do my very best to not ask this question as I wouldnt want to get off on the wrong foot, with a lady who is an author, speaker and consultant for companies around the world on sales and marketing. She knows what is needed to attract clients, that become loyal consumers of a companies products? Nope don’t see the elephants connection yet? But how has she achieved the kind of sales knowledge that is sought after across the globe, and how did she and her partner Will Turner, develop the “Six Secrets of Sales Magnets” and the soon to be available “Sales Magnetism: The Ethical Salesperson’s Guide To Success” which brings a different perspective to the sales technique.

Todays guest is someone who likes to ask four key questions as he seeks to build the life of his dreams How can I have more free time? How can I make money doing what I love? How can I travel the world pursuing my passions? How can I run a real business from my laptop, anywhere in the world? They seem very good question to ask yourself I would have thought, and perhaps another question is why do so many people not ask them very same questions themselves? But the journey to budding entrepreneur, and smart and debonair businessman was not a usual one, as we normally find on Join Up Dots. From developing a love of music and travelling from his Dad, our guest first stepped into young adulthood as a wannabe Jon Bon Jovi, travelling around Europe and the States playing his guitar in bars, and getting up to god knows what in Amsterdam. But it was when he landed in Nashville, the home of country music, that the path to his unique and authentic self started becoming apparent. Along with his business partner, our budding Bon Jovi decided that they had two choices: One sign for a record company, or two: build their own record company and retain control of their music, image rights and everything else that goes into making a band. They took the bold choice, and so started a love of business that brings him onto the show today. So lets introduce to you, and start joining up those dots, and of course find out what DID happen in Amsterdam, the one and only Mr Jesse Krieger.

Todays guest is a man who has travelled a path most unusual. Starting off by gaining his education in Pennsylvania he has now found himself living in Yokosuka in Japan. Whilst working fulltime for the US military he has focused his downtime on self development and the study of the small habits we have in our life, that when used effectively can build up to something amazing. I didn't know this, but from reading his blog I have found out that one-third to one half of ALL our daily actions are habitual? That’s right. Everything in our lives, and I mean EVERYTHING are the result of these automatic habits. So our guest believes that our level of wealth, social circles, happiness, love, energy, fitness, fulfilment are all created by the subconscious mind. We don't realise that we are building our own futures be allowing these habits, some negative to go unchecked. It is his mission to help educate 100,000 people to become liberated. To take control of these habitual behaviors and change them. Well this is the kind of man that I need to talk to, so its with delight that I bring onto the show, to start joining up dots, the one and only Adam Smith.

Todays guest entrepreneur joining us on the top rated Join Up dots podcast interview is a globe trotting, double Guinness book of records world holder, with a story based on constant action. An adventurer, film-maker, travel blogger and TV presenter from Liverpool, England, on January 1 2009 he crossed the River Plate into Uruguay and began The Odyssey Expedition: The first official Guinness World Record™ attempt to visit every sovereign state on Planet Earth without flying. That's the 193 members of the United Nations plus Taiwan, Vatican City, Palestine, Kosovo, Western Sahara and the four home nations of The United Kingdom. A staggering 201 international borders crossed by foot, bus, taxi, train, ship or canoe. No planes, no helicopters and no hot-air balloons. Along the way he self-filmed and presented the TV show Graham's World for the National Geographic Adventure channel and raised funds for the registered charity WaterAid. So what is it that made him leave the comfort and security of a life in the North of England to travel the globe, in the hardest manner possible? And are there any countries that once he arrived he thought...right I'm not staying here time to move on? And did I tell you he is now the owner of his own island "JinjaIsland" which he won in a competition too? So is he the luckiest guy on earth, or just someone that by taking huge action has put himself into positions that others would miss out on? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show, the one and only, Ginger Scouser himself.....Mr Graham Hughes.

Welcome back to a lady who first appeared on the show, way back on episode 32 of Join Up Dots. She must be a glutton for punishment to come back on, but aren't I simply delighted that she has done just that. Since her travelling adventures started over four years ago, she has covered the globe observing the characteristics of the people who live in each of the countries she has spent time in. And its not a surprise to her that whether she was living in the United States, Germany or Thailand she found that we all want the same things. We want to be Happy, feel peace, and have a freedom of suffering whether this be fear, negativity or frustration. The only difference is how we go about getting to those results. Being a naturally adventurous and positive person obviously helps enormously, but what about the listeners who don't embrace adventure and freedom of spirit in such a gungho way? Can they also achieve these positive results, and take control of their own lives in the process? Well our guest today believes so, and through her role as Peak Performance coach has made it her mission to help others find the path to excitement and fulfilment that makes a life well…….memorable to say the least. So if you are wondering if there is more to life than you are getting at the moment, and don't know how to go about it, then let me introduce you once more to the salsa dancing, fun loving, creative spirit that is Miss Ginger Kern.

Todays guest is a man who not only has an unusual surname, but also has a surname that is famous throught the world.He is the son of the late Zig Ziglar, and is the current President of Zig Ziglar Training Systems which is a position that he has held since 1996. And wow this seems to be a position that he was made to hold as within six months of taking up the position production increased 40 percent, with 30 percent fewer people on the wage bill.He shares his fathers belief that "You can have everything in life you want if you just help enough other people get what they want.But this show isn't just about celebrating the successes, but looking at all the dots that make up a life.So how he did he feel when stepping into his fathers shoes, and did he want to I suppose is a good question? And how did he overcome those same fears that we all have but are surely worse when following along in the family business? And lastly if he focuses on helping others get what they want....what is it that he truly wants? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, the one and only Tom Ziglar.

Todays guest is a man who can attest to have tried, enjoyed and had mixed success at many things before finding his true calling in life. From a musician, to a blogger, to martial arts participant, to even a dog trainer, it seems that his path to success has been a mixed one. But as we see time and time again on Join Up Dots, getting to where everything pulls together in life is often a bit of a journey. And its only by looking back and guess what,...Joining Up Those dots that you can see how it all began working for you. Our guest found the thing that has taken him to the top, by realising his limitations as a blogger. He realised that no matter how much content he was producing not enough people were seeing it. "How the hell do you get your content out to the widest audience possible?" he thought. It's all right, writing the latest works of Shakespeare, but if noone gets to see it then what's the point? So our guest created Triberr, an online community of bloggers who work together to share each others content. And the rest, as they say is history, and now with this success under his belt, he is now a sought after speaker, strategic Marketing consultant, and if you need a love song banged out for your special person, I'm sure he could do that too.

Todays guest is another example of someone who seems to have been born with the skills to make their own money. At a very early age, whilst his friends were going the normal route to get jobs, by creating resumes and attending interview after interview he had other ideas. He realised that the only person who is going to get wealthy in that scenario would be the employer not the employee. So he set on of an entrepreneurial path to start making his own money, and at quite an early age too. At the age of 11, you could find him selling his personal snacks at scout camp and by age 17 he had hired his friends to help him operate his landscaping business that earned him $10,000 for college. All in all, by age 20 he started and ran over $320,000 in businesses. But that was just the start of it all as he realised that the skills that he had built up were transferable and most importantly teachable. So he began teaching other college students to run their own successful businesses, which led him to receive the "Entrepreneur of the Year" award from Young Entrepreneurs Across America. He now speaks to students across the country teaching them the lessons he's learned as a young entrepreneur and encouraging them to take the entrepreneurial leap. So how has he managed to take the leap of faith that for many seems too big to handle? How did he persuade a bunch of 17 year olds to work for him.....I cant get my kids to do anything even if I pay them!

Todays guest is just seventeen years old, and has packed more into his last few years than most of us manage in a lifetime. An entrepreneur investor, author, go getter, speaker, money lender, lover of riding dirt bikes, and writing music, he really has the drive to make things occur and on his own terms too. As he says in his own words "I learned early that you don’t get what you don’t ask for. When I was 13 I asked my parents if I could put my income from appearing in a TV commercial to better use by partnering with them on a real estate project. They said “Yes.” When I was 14 and working on my first book I asked Donald Trump if he’d answer some questions about entrepreneurship. He said “Yes.” Like anyone else, I’ve heard my share of “No’s,” too. “No” is a part of life and certainly a part of business but I try not to take rejection personally. Hearing “No” motivates me to try harder next time." So is it that simple, or is there so much more to becoming a success and a millionaire by such an early age? Well we are going to find out as our guest planned to be one before leaving college! Big dreams indeed. Its a delight to bring onto the show, to start joining up the dots of his life, the one and only Houston Gunn.

Todays guest is a man on a mission to help the world self develop, progress, and move to a better future, all at a time and pace that is convenient for them. He started his first business at the age of twelve, and since then has travelled the world whilst pursuing his passion of leadership and team culture development on a larger scale. In 2008, he founded Actionable Books, which led to him winning in 2009 Entrepreneurial Spirit Award, by using business books as a platform for leader and team growth. But knowing that by utilising technology, that is both easy to get and easy to carry around, he could grow his brand even further, in 2010 he went online, and launched actionable interviews where he has conducted interviews with such big thinkers such as Seth Godin, Susan Cain and Sir Ken Robinson. If this sounds like success after success, then think again, as with all entrepreneurs the story is one of success, failures, stumbles and falls. So lets bring onto the show to start joining up the dots of his life, the one and only, Mr Chris Taylor.

Todays guest is someone that I have wanted to have on the show for quite awhile. In fact since the very first episodes of Join Up Dots were released. But due to him hitting his stride, travelling through South America, and generally having a kick ass life I only get to speak to him now. But hey, doesn’t that just add more dimensions to a life that is already perfect for a show like mine. He is a man who is inspired to find the true definition of “Consciousness” and how we can all become more conscious to build a better life for ourselves. He wants us to overcome the self limiting fears that root us to the spot, and instead focus on the “Go Getter” mentality, which is the way to create the success that we all want, and of course he is living. So how did he get to the point in his life when he realised that mind-set was the key to everything?

Todays guest entrepreneur joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired business interview started life in Poland, and it was fair to say that he has come a long way since then, both Geographically and financially. he is now a huge success which is Arriving in the United States of America with just $194.00 dollars in ihs pocket and a sprinkling of English he set to work with a passion. The entrepreneurial bug has always been a keen element which makes him who he is, so it was with little surprise, but a lot of hard work that he transformed his finances by creating a series of business opportunities around California. First of all he co-owned a collection of bagel shops, and then moved onto running a multi-million dollar business that includes consulting, coaching, training, and information publishing. But there was of course so many stumbles, falls and triumphs between them. Isn’t that what makes a story interesting after all. But if you think that our guest is now simply a money making machine, who values wealth against anything else then think again. He believes that through hard work, perseverance, talent and passion we can all design our lives to be what we want….the purest definition of success. As he says “When I say success I don’t just mean money. Don’t get me wrong – financial rewards from your business are essential but they’re not enough! Health, family and friends, spirituality, contribution to others – that’s what combined all together creates balanced, fulfilled life. And living such life makes you an irresistibly attractive “success magnet”. So lets see how this happily married father of two, has succeeded so remarkably when starting with so little, by bringing onto the show to start joining up the dots of his life, the remarkable Adam Urbanski.

Todays guest is man who has learnt the secret of travelling the world, whilst being funded by something he already had. If that sounds a bit cryptic all will be revealed in the show. But its true to say that todays guest does not follow a normal path in life Starting his adult working life after finishing his education in the Netherlands, he worked for an arbitrage trading firm for 6 years. It was a normal kind of job that many of us have endured. Long hours, boring work, but hey at the end of the day it paid. And isn't that why most of us started going to work in the first place anyway. But he knew that he wanted more. So at the age of 32, he revaluated his life goals and came up with a question to ponder. Did he want to slave away at a mildly stimulating profession so he could perch atop a pile of assets at the ripe age of 65? And after asking himself that question he knew it was time to leap into the unknown. So in March of 2010, with no backup plan or prospect of gainful employment, he quit his job to pursue his lifelong dream: ultimate freedom. How exciting is that? So how many of you listeners would be brave enough to do just that, and of course was our guest brave or simply frightened that life was slipping away? Well lets find out, as bring onto the show to start joining up the dots of his life, the one and only, Jasper Ribbers Dream Jobs, Online Courses, Persistence, Personal Trainer, Decision Making, Publicity, Young Entrepreneur, Freedom, Addicted, Shawn Stevenson, American Hustle, Make Money Online, Motivational Quotes, Expedition, Challenges, Steve Jobs, How To Start A Business, The Secret, Rich, Online Marketing, Time Management, Blogger, Videos, Recruiting, Authentic, Travel Blogs, Ultra Running, American Football, How To Make Money, Online Business, Company Culture, Law Of Attraction, Planet Money, Jobs, Video Marketing, Linkedin, Success Principles, Digital Marketing, Action Taking, Starting A Business, Successful Entrepreneurs, Personal Branding, Amazon, Lead Generation, Career Change, Life Planner, Comfort zone, Simplicity, Break The Rules, Book Launches, Personal Finance, Secret To Success, Business Plan, Health And Fitness, Tech Startup, Self Publishing, Entrepreneurs, Love, Career Path, Educational, Creativity, Selling, motivation, motivational, inspiration, confidence, success, freedom |

Have you ever been in corporate land and wondered why you are feeling sluggish and overweight. Do you wonder why you are reaching for that sixth doughnut just because its sitting three feet away from you then todays show is for you. Our guest today was in a similar position, before taking the leap of faith. Working for Ernst and Young , back in 2007, he realised that he wasn't happy with his body, but lacked the time and energy to do something about it. And he was not alone. It seemed that his work colleagues all wanted to have a fitness timetable, that fitted around their lifestyles and would ask our guest for tips. And after hearing the same request for the millionth time, he realized something. Something had to be done. He had to set out to create a program that would solve this problem in a big way. He had to follow his passions. He loved helping people. he loved writing and is a health and fitness fanatic (since the 4th grade). Bang. He slammed them all together and created the online company mybodytutor So lets bring onto the show to provide us with the perfect plans, and of course to join up dots, the one and only Adam Gilbert!

Todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots podcast is a lady on a mission to empower the females of the world to...well rock! Being an entrepreneur herself she was often struck by the isolated way that women seem to operate within the business world, and so set out to build a career and online platform for them to be heard. She wants to give them the freedom to flourish in a way that most ladies would find it hard to do. By launching the podcast “Biz Women Rock” she has done just that, and now provides interviews and motivational content from her base in Florida. But that is just a small part of what makes her what she is, as with her husband Chris since 2008, the two have owned a Business Owners organization called the Tampa Bay Business Owners, which supports local entrepreneurs by providing top-notch education, opportunities to connect with peers and leadership programs…everything that could possibly be useful for a business owner to work on their businesses. But what I want to do, is join up the dots by finding out like all our guests, what were the key elements in her childhood, that she can link to adult life? What made her transition from her period in Healthcare, to working with her husband, and then onwards to career freedom and total choices? And when she isn’t working 24 hours a day, what inspires her to get going again, after another exhausting day creating such value to the world. Well lets find out as we bring onto the show, the one and only powerhouse, and entrepreneur herself Katie Krimitsos.

Todays guest is someone who might at first glance be thought of as a minority group. He believes that sales is a honourable profession. Wait I hear you say...surely I didn't hear the words Sales and honourable in the same sentence? But our guest has since 2000 focused his time, passions and energy's in the world of Insurance Brokerage, and has come out the other end hardened by the work that he has performed. As he says he was bloodied, bruised, kicked in the teeth, chewed-up, and spit-out. The owner of Empowering Sales, and founder of “The Insurance Coach.” he loves bringing value to salespeople, teams, and business owners through writing, speaking, classroom, and online training. Focusing on four main areas, Sales training, Attitude, Connections and Loyalty. So how has he remained true to his values? How does he break down the perception of old style sales techniques and reputations? And being a father, husband and full time employee too, how does he find the time to bring it all together? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show, to start joining up dots, the one and only Brent Kelly.

Todays guest, joining us on the Join Up Dots podcast interview is Mr Simon Knapp, a man who can literally fly to heights that we can only dream about. he has the freedom of time and altitude as being a commercial airline pilot, he has for the last few years travelled the world transporting businessman, holiday makers, and screaming children to destinations across the globe. All the while planning other ventures, businesses and careers the ability to provide a fair deal to the world of freelance work. After realising that a vast proportion of the fee charged by a freelance agency did not go the person doing the work, but instead into their own coffers for what seemed minimal effort, Simon Knapp knew he was onto something. So along with his wife, Simon created “Cherished Ideas”, where freelancers can virtually sit in the same room with potential employers and sell their wares, with no commission passing hands. A real bonus to all concerned. So how did this Englishman first manage to get into the rarefied world of commercial airlines, and why does he seem so focused on building a life away from it? What was the moment when the motivation to tackle his first business opportunity first raised its head, and was it the first venture he tried? And with a plane at his disposal where does he truly call home? Well let’s bring onto the show to start joining up dots, as we discuss the words of Steve Jobs with the one and only Mr Simon Knapp. Dream Jobs, Online Courses, Persistence, Personal Trainer, Decision Making, Publicity, Young Entrepreneur, Freedom, Addicted, Shawn Stevenson, American Hustle, Make Money Online, Motivational Quotes, Expedition, Challenges, Steve Jobs, How To Start A Business, The Secret, Rich, Online Marketing, Time Management, Blogger, Videos, Recruiting, Authentic, Travel Blogs, Ultra Running, American Football, How To Make Money, Online Business, Company Culture, Law Of Attraction, Planet Money, Jobs, Video Marketing, Linkedin, Success Principles, Digital Marketing, Action Taking, Starting A Business, Successful Entrepreneurs, Personal Branding, Amazon, Lead Generation, Career Change, Life Planner, Comfort zone, Simplicity, Break The Rules, Book Launches, Personal Finance, Secret To Success, Business Plan, Health And Fitness, Tech Startup, Self Publishing, Entrepreneurs, Love, Career Path, Educational, Creativity, Selling, motivation, motivational, inspiration, confidence, success, freedom |

Todays guest, joining us on the Join Up Dots podcast interview is Dina Proctor, a lady who has been on a harrowing journey of hitting absolute rock bottom, and finding her way back to the top.
At the end of 2008, her life had spiralled out of control as she battled everyday with alcohol addiction, food issues and suicidal depression.
She was in a mess and could not have been lower.
Trying everything Dina Proctor possibly could to pull herself up and get herself going, she fell time and time again. Nothing worked for her, and she was lost.
But by unintentional action she created her own salvation, as she began an amazing transformational programme called “3×3 Mediation” which has changed her life and the lives of her clients time and time again.
From weight loss and banishing addictive cravings to reconstructing relationships, this easy and yet incredibly effective method has caught the attention and support of Jack Canfield and Bruce Lipton among others, and the media.
Now with a day filled with writing, public speaking, coaching and being madly happy, I am delighted to have her on the show today.
But how did she change her life so dramatically, on something apparently so simple?
How did Dina thankfully not enter in to suicidal actions that would have meant that the world would not have got the gifts that we now have from her.

Todays guests is Mr Michael ONeal, the podcasting master behind the hit Itunes show "The Solopreneur Podcast". The top ranked business show, or The Solohour as it is known to its friends, teaching online marketing and entrepreneurship skills. Michael is a man who quite simply without him, then I wouldn't be on the mic today. So you know where to send all your complaints too. He is a born entrepreneur with a fascinating story, of successes, setbacks, leaps of faith, and finding his unique path with the guidance of John Lee Dumas and Pat Flynn. Growing up in Philadelphia, the thought of being the host of his own podcast show was the last thing on his mind. He was a normal type of kid, obsessed with sport, finding trouble at school, and generally being a kid. But unfortunately that freedom of thought and energy changed when he was moved from his beloved Philly, and taken down to Florida, and it seems to me this was the start of him looking for his path in life. He didn’t fit in down in the Sunshine State, so as soon as he could, he got himself back up North, and discovered one of the first dots in his life that links him to where he is today…the internet. He was fascinated by the worldwide web, so developed skills to be a web designer. And that was his life for fifteen years, until unfortunately his parents both passed away in a very short time, and he found himself sitting with just $14 dollars in his pocket. He was over 30, with a decision forced upon him. Would he accept the punches that life had dealt him, or would he start fighting back? And that descision was made and he took the steps that made him “Know too much” and not want to work for anyone else again? He was going to become a solopreneur and own his own future. But how did he know he had the skills to be a success in the online arena? How did he know where his true passions lie? And does he regret inspiring guys like me to jump into the pool too? Well lets find out as we bring onto the 100th show to start joining up dots, the man on the mike, the host of the “Solopreneur Hour podcast”, the one and only Mr Michael O’Neal!
For more on the Solohour Podcast go to: The Solopreneur Hour Podcast with Michael O'Neal - Job Security...for the UnemployableBy Michael O'Neal Chats with Proudly Unemployable Solopreneurs Like Himself DescriptionThey say successful people put their pants on the same way we all do.

Yes hello. How are we all? Can you believe it. Episode 100. We have been building up to this for well, it seems like a hundred episodes and we are finally here. We have got a man who who quite simply rose to the top and was going to be the only person who would fit the mantle of being my 100th guest. And I’ve had people banging down the doors. I had Paul McCartney phone up the other day and say I want to be on the show, I’ve heard it’s a big thing and I said to him, “Paul, unless you can get the other four Beatles to join you, it’s not going to happen” We’ve had David Bowie crying. It’s been pathetic really. So today’s man has been nailed on to do this today, and I’m absolutely delighted that he’s on the show because quite simply without him I wouldn’t be on the microphone. So you know where to send all your complaints to! He’s a man with a fascinating story of successes, setbacks leaps and finding his unique voice. Growing up in Philadelphia he was a normal type of kid obsessed with football at school, and generally being a kid. But unfortunately that freedom of thought and energy changed when he was moved from his beloved Philly and taken down to Florida and it seemed to me this to stop him looking for his path in life. He didn’t fit in down in the sunshine state so soon as he could he got himself back up north and discovered one of the first dots in his life that links him to where he is today the Internet. He was fascinated by a World Wide Web so develop skills to be a web designer and as he’s known for 15 years until unfortunately his parents both passed away in a very short time and he found himself sitting with just fourteen dollars in his pocket. It was over thirty with a decision forced upon him. Would you accept the punches that life had dealt him or would he stop fighting back and that decision was made and he took steps that made him know too much and not want to work for anyone else again. He was going to become a solopreneur and own his own future. But how did he know he had the skills to be a success in the online arena and how did he know where his true passions lie? And does he regret inspiring guys want me to jump into the pool too. Well let’s find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up thoughts the man on the microphone. The host of the Solohour podcast, the only Mr. Michael O’Neal. Well how are you Michael?
Michael O’Neal Oh here is what I can’t even what is happening. I am so flabbergasted by that intro. OK. Two things. Number one that was the best intro I’ve ever had. And formerly Chris Cerrone had that that title of the best in show to a show I’ve ever had. But it was one of the best I’ve ever heard for anybody which is why you are so the right person for this job. Well we’re all thankful you have a microphone in front of you David. David Ralph Well I can do Steve Jobs every day. So I might be able to do them as well. Michael O’Neal Ah so dude that was incredible. I am . I am flummoxed. David Ralph I’m so excited to be on David Ralph’s show. David Ralph – Yeah. Go go and do that because I know you have been doing an action of me on a few shows and we’ll show you a few times night. David Ralph I haven’t got the face for television but I’ve got a voice for Radio Michael O’Neal Well as long as you’ve got the radio part worked out and you have taken this thing and you’ve run with it my friend. So I’m honored. I’m honored to be at the 100 episode Mark. Thank you. Thank you. David Ralph Absolutely. It is an honor to have you here because it is amazing when you start this thing,because you started your show what was it August 2013. Michael O’Neal Eleven month ago. David Ralph Yeah,11 months ago and now you are rocking and rolling with the best of them you surround yourself with, with the Internet movers and shakers the ziggers and zagers and you know you’re going to be humbled by this. So maybe you won’t. You are an online celebrity of note. When I was saying to people is my show a lot of people sort of touch on the shows of said to me I know who you’re going to have. And I said no you don’t. Michael O’Neal It is weird. It does feel like it was yesterday that I launched the show. It feels really really recent to me that it happened. So but then at the same time I look at the memories that I’ve had over the last 11 months and all the cool benchmarks and you know different things that have happened and, but it’s packed full of stuff right. So I think if there’s any celebrity it’s sort of a z list celebrity and only at certain conferences. But yeah it’s been it’s been an incredible journey. David Ralph Is there a plan to the next 365 because you seem to me somebody who is very much stimulated by the now and then. Are you somebody who knows what you’re aiming to achieve? Michael O’Neal No I’m a notorious non planner. Much to the chagrin of my girlfriend who is a total planner and if I didn’t have the you know a calendar app on my phone I would be I would be completely floating out there now because I I wake up and I look at I go OK what do I have to do today. And then I see what’s going on for the day. And sometimes that doesn’t work out for me like in a social situation because people actually make plans to go out and do things. David Ralph And how did you do that? How did you put a cap on that. How did you say that is five years, finished boxed up? Michael O’Neal Well it was as i say I’m I’m a notorious non-celibrator. I’m a guy that usually gets to an achievement and then continues to go without acknowledging it. So I’ve been a Porsche fan for my whole life. David Ralph Mr. O’Neill is a perfect story. It started and it made me think if I’m ever in a pub quiz and a question about Portia comes up you’re my man that does it to Luli you are obsessed by that and you. The amount that you were quoting then. Michael O’Neal Ah. I mean I think. I think it’s kind of a lifetime obsession for people that become afflicted by it. In fact there’s a great ad I will send it to you on YouTube and there’s an ad for the new Porsche about the time the new Porsche Carrera ad and it was there it’s a little boy. And he’s a little kid in his classroom and he’s daydreaming and on 9/11 drives by him and you just see him like looking out the window and his pencil drops and you know then he he gets in trouble. Michael O’Neal No no no. I was a BMX kid. Now I was I was in a suburb. I was the only gentile I was in a super Jewish town north of Philadelphia. And I was a BMX or I rode my BMX bike. I mean I was from 1984 until I mean I was racing bikes from 84 until 2000. David Ralph So Rocky wasn’t on your radar at all? Michael O’Neal No not at all. Tony Hawk and Dave you know Dave Voelker and Matt Hoffman and you know BMX guys Bob horo. They were all on my radar. David Ralph What does he look like? Michael O’Neal He’s a big famous director now and he will watch films John Malkovich. Being John Malkovich won a friggin Oscar. We’re ready. Come on. With it and it might seem seamless Spike Jones for crying out loud. David Ralph Spike Jones Michael O’Neal Yeah Spike Jones the director was a dude I rode with at a place called Rockville BMX and we were just BMX or dudes riding around. And then he he became a photographer for one of the BMX magazines and then started doing filming because he did Beastie Boys first video I forget which one and then started doing independent films then did Being John Malkovich and now he is like an international you know massive director like one of the best most well-reputed directors in the world. And it was kind of cool. I mean so he did adaptation he did Being John Malkovich Where the Wild Things Are You know just just done amazing stuff. So the Academy Awards. And so a pretty pretty bad ass. He did her you know the movie Her most recent Yeah that’s Spike Jones. David Ralph So is there any similarity between the young kid in Philly and now, because from what I see across the pond and I listen into the conversations that you have with your internet guys and it does seem from this side of the pond that you’ve got a gang of friends and followers and whatever that basically control the Internet. I had Rick Mulready on the show. And I said “Do you ever feel like slipping something into Pat Flynns drink, so that the next morning you turn on your screen and see if there’s a black hole on the Internet because he’s not functioning at this time because it kind of seems not” But he wouldn’t be pushed in to slipping a Mickey into his drink in any shape or form. But you seem a little bit edgy to most of them. Michael O’Neal Yeah. David Ralph Is that because you’re from Philly. Is it because he’s a very sort of industrial Con. Its a real city you know. Its like a working class city when you’re there. Michael O’Neal Yeah I think the the edginess is something that I’m kind of a known for. I don’t know if you curse on your show but I’m kind of a no B.S. kind of guy and I’ve never been one to straddle the fence very very much. And I think what happened with Irwin what happens with a lot of these sort of Internet type celebrities is that they’re so concerned about getting the broadest audience that they sometimes come off as being a little bit milktoast or a little bit vanilla. David Ralph When your on the mike then how much is you now being absolutely authentic and how much is it creating a mood creating an atmosphere on the show. Michael O’Neal Well it can’t. Can’t you have both? David Ralph Oh I don’t know CAN you? Michael O’Neal What are you asking? Are you asking how much is sort of pre-written and how much is off the cuff? David Ralph Well on this show for example some of the things I say I only say to get a reaction from the guest. You know do I really mean it kind of. Do I think that they will go against it. Yes. So I will say it. How much do you actually say that you believe 100 percent. Michael O’Neal Well first of all you do that because you understand this and you’re a pro. I mean this is a very natural place for you to end up. David Ralph So you’re not like you haven’t got a human graphic equalizer when you press record you just kind of increase certain parts of your personality. Michael O’Neal Not really. No. This is pretty much how I am. Yeah I’ll speak like I speak. I’m probably slightly dirtier in real life. David Ralph Well you don’t know where the words will land do you! Michael O’Neal I probably curse a little more which is fine. I’ve done a few podcasts now where I was allowed to do that and it did make it really nice. David Ralph Are you in the same situation as me because I used to listen to your show all the time and it was a staple diet during my transition at that time and now I’m doing this. One of the failures of me is that I don’t get time to listen to other people’s shows. I listen to your one the other day because I just suddenly realized I had a gap but you almost become an island of your own success where before I used to listen to shows and I used to think oh I’ll take a bit of it and I’ll take a bit of it and become like a magpie. And now I don’t know what vibe is out there and I don’t know whether I’m being edgy or whatever. It just seems to be you. Speaking to the mic and I throw it out to the world and hopefully it goes well. It seems to be a fault of mine, and so do you have the same thing? Michael O’Neal No I’m exactly the same way. I’d say partially by choice and partially by by time. So when I when I do have time to consume podcasts I don’t tend to go business. I tend to go comedy. And lately I tend to go NFL football. I listen to podcasts related to that because I want to be able to clock out a little bit when I do want real inspiration. I’ve been listening to here’s the thing with Alec Baldwin it’s WNYC. I’ve not heard a better intro or production or interview style than that show. It’s his in his intros are nothing short of brilliant. I mean they’re amazing how he brings a guest on an and then how he interviews and his questions are very in-depth and he’s such a pro that it makes it really easy for me to like look at that bar and go OK that’s where the soul open for hours going. David Ralph because the only two that I listen to now is yours. David Ralph Yeah I just like the way it kind of flows and you don’t even know it started and it just kind of teases right. Michael O’Neal That’s right. Yeah they just start it. We kind of did that today didn’t we. David Ralph Yeah absolutely and that was the good stuff. Michael O’Neal And we talked for a while before we started recording. You know me I mean it just felt like yeah hit it. Go for it. We’ll start like Nerdist. But yeah no I think that there’s a sense there’s such a glutton of new shows out there and I don’t. but if I’m being opinionated I don’t. There’s a lot of places where people are learning quote on quote how to podcast. And I think they’re feeding them crap information.So often a big problem. David Ralph And I know he’s a mate of yours and I wish him all the success in the world, but the problem is so many people are trying to duplicate John Lee Dumas and that’s not right. He came first and he created the structure of his show, and whether you like that format or whatever that is he’s and he’s made in his own by being him. Michael O’Neal Yeah. And John would tell you and I’ve said this a million times in front of him and said do you the success of your show or his show has nothing to do with his format. And it has nothing do with him as a podcast for that all. David Ralph Did you really have to love doing this because I’m going to play a speech in my Jim Carrey and I’m actually I’m going to play now and we’re going to talk afterwards. This is Jim Carrey. Jim Carrey Sound Clip My father could have been a great comedian but he didn’t believe that that was possible for him. And so he made a conservative choice. David Ralph Is that the true message that we should be getting across? Michael O’Neal Yes it is unfortunately the connecting of the dots joining of those two dots which is I found this thing that I love and now I have to figure out how to get paid for it is difficult. Michael O’Neal Yeah. It’s really really is a one way street. It also but that carries over as well into my personal life as well. And I think when the there’s ever such a different confidence now just in my life in general and I think Billy Joel would sort sort of anybody that reached a level of success has this this this underlying confidence about them that is very attractive not only to you know the opposite sex but it’s what attracts other successful people to you.

Todays guest entrepreneur joining us on the Join Up Dots business interview is a man who is taking huge action, as he is one of the co-founders of the Podcast Movement. A huge conference bringing together the movers and shakers of the podcasting world. The legends behind the microphones. The names you see scattered across ITunes. Commencing on the 16th August in Dallas Texas, the size of this thing must have been a hell of an undertaking. Especially for someone who it seems to me has built up the bulk of his career success in the work of Tax returns and balance sheets. But as he says "I am a lifetime serial entrepreneur, and have always been a self starter that takes the proverbial bull by the horns." And this passion for the startup, has helped him develop great relationships with clients which allow them to focus in on the value side of the business and leave..lets face it the boring side of the business with our guest. That is a partnership made in heaven I would have thought. So how did he get together with Jared Easley his co-partner and gain the motivation to start the Podcast Movement? Does he actually find doing tax returns interesting? And even if he says he does I wont believe him! Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up the dots of his life with the one and only, Mr Dan Franks

Today guest is the go to man if you have a band, are interested in creating music, but dont know the first thing about getting it out there.Being in the music industry and the online world since way back in 1982, our guest at first had the desire to be the main man himself.Strutting the stage like….well a John Bon Jovi or Bruce Springsteen, but as we find time and time again on Join Up Dots life had other ideas for him.Six months ago,he released a book called Six-Figure Musician – How to Sell More Music, Get More People to Your Shows,and Make More Money in the Music Business. As the title suggests,it was written for musicians and the people who work with them — managers, record labels, etc.During the first few years, he was able to work on promotions by several big acts… No Doubt, Bush, Run-DMC, Ratt, and others, and the names have got bigger from there. But working with the established is not what excites our man.As he says “I’d rather build something than add on to it. In my opinion, helping somebody go from zero to 10,000 records sold is much more life-changing than helping somebody go from 100,000 to 1,000,000. Plus, going from zero to 10,000 records requires more skill…and I love a challenge.”Well, lets give him a challenge as we start joining up the dots of his life with the one and only Mr David Hooper

Todays guest is a lady who believes that great people are not those to whom rainbows are delivered, they are those who value rainbows, sun and rain.Its the contrasts of life that makes a life, and its within these areas that we can develop our emotional intelligence, to understand why things are going well, but not beat ourselves up too much when they aren’t.But how do we get to that point? How do we give ourselves the best chance to become more rounded and understanding of the situations that we find ourselves in? Well in short, our guest believes that we need to go back to assess the fact that we spend so much time as a child, learning about things, that are nice to know, but do not help us in the real world.Where are the true life skill lessons that some of us miss out on, but are so vitally important as we strive to create the life of our dreams?She is a social Entrepreneur, Creator of the Life Skills Report Card, Founder of the international consciousness movement Parenting 2.0. Author of “Kissing the Mirror; Raising Humanity in the Twenty-first Century.” and of course my 97th guest.We have a lot to discuss, so lets bring onto the show to start joining up dots, the one and only Marlaine Cover.

Todays guest ready for the business interview is someone who as we discuss time and time again on Join Up Dots can pinpoint the moment when his life changed forever. He knows his big dot on the Join Up Dots timeline, when his life become on of freedom of choice and a lifestyle of his own making. In January of 2009, after seeing his career flourish, he was laid off, and found himself unemployed for three months. And within those three months, he started learning about himself. What he wanted to achieve in his life and of course his career. And how he wanted his lifestyle to be. The key thought to everything he starting planning at the time, was in his words "I really discovered how working for someone else is just as risky as working for yourself." So he began his personal leadership blog, which he uses as a platform to share what he had learned about leadership, personal development, personal branding and how to develop a leadership mindset. We have a lot to cover, so lets bring onto the show to start Joining Up Dots, the one and only entrepreneur Mr Ellory Wells.

Todays guest is a lady that I have wanted to have on the show it seems from the very beginning.She was recommended to me by one of my all time favourite guests, August Turak who appeared way back on Episode 4 who said "David, do I have a guest for you!" She is the CEO and founder of True Change Consultants, whose tagline releasing the potential in people means she is perfect for this show. She has spent her professional life transforming organizations through people, nurturing talent and human potential in order to successfully deliver strategic business change. In the last 20 years she has held top posts in Telecommunications, IT, Web and Media in FTSE 500 companies. And quite simply she knows the limitations we set on ourselves. She knows how to break those barriers down and help us dream big and feel inspired. So its with great pleasure that I bring onto the show, to start joining up the dots of her life, the one and only Elese Coit.
