Ryan Levesque is the author of the best-selling book Ask, and creator of the Ask Formula, one of the most important paradigm shifts to influence online marketing in the last decade. That's impressive in and of itself, but Ryan is also a truly self-made man. He has found himself starting from nothing more than once in his life, and has ingeniously reimagined himself and his circumstances to rise to the top time and time again.

From paying his own way through Brown, to Scrabble tile jewelry, the great success of Ask, and everything in between, Ryan is truly an inspiration.

Key Points

Tad Hargrave has made a career of teaching business skills to the people who are on a mission to change the world – which is hard, because they're the same people who tend to be most resistant to the concept of business! Tad manages to walk the line gracefully through his work at Marketing For Hippies, with an incisive sensitivity that I know you'll appreciate. On today's show, we dig into the deep meaning of what sales is really about, and reach some surprising conclusions.

Key Points

At 3:04 - Tad discusses why there's no way to strike a balance between posturing and collapsing, and how doing to creates an ineffective, muddy middle.

At 7:00 - Danny and Tad talk about how integrity can slip when cash flow is low, and what to do about it.

At 13:10 - Danny explains his alternative to the zero-sum mentality, and Tad follows up with the idea of shuffling value around.

At 16:10 - Tad talks about niches that can't afford to pay, sustainability, and how a different business model might be in order.

At 19:40 - Tad and Danny discuss sustainability that goes beyond one's on business and marketing, and asks the question, 'what would happen if everyone took this tactic?'

Sean Platt is a pioneer and innovator in the business of fiction. He has a proven track record of doing what's never been done before, and with great success. He ran the second most successful fiction project in KickStarter history, and proved that fast writing can be good writing when he and his partner wrote a book in 30 days, live in front of 1,000 people. That's just part of it.

Today, Sean talks about what's to come, both for him and for the fiction industry at large.

At 6:40 - Sean talks about one of his reimaginations that earns them the name 'hack writers,' but explains why that's not the case at all.

At 14:00 - Sean talks about the concept of Open Source Fiction as yet another reimagination in fiction.

At 16:10 - Subscriptions are becoming more common, and Sean has found a way to integrate it into his publishing company, but do it in a way that provides enormous value to his readers.
