Manana No Mas!

I've been a customer for years and while I consider him a friend... it's great to welcome Adrian Tobey to the show.

Who is Adrian? He is the founder of Groundhogg Inc., making kickass CRM and marketing automation plugins for agencies and businesses that use WordPress.

The stars have aligned and brought us another great guest. Michelle is one of my newest LinkedIn friends and she brings the heat on the topic of Continuous Improvement. When you say it out loud it has a ring of "well...duh?!?!"

Being a Lean Six Sigma consultant is so much more than "Well, duh?!?!" It is a systematic approach to meet the individual needs of a business in search of efficiency, productivity and profit... however, it is also critical to build a positive internal culture on the journey.

Some time conversing with Michelle, and it becomes clear she has this drive. She takes some time to share with us in a casual conversation - join in.

Michelle's Intro...

After years of thriving in the corporate world, I was at a crossroads. Despite a high-paying executive position, burnout was knocking on my door. It was then that I made the bold decision to step away and pursue my passion – helping businesses thrive through strategic consulting.

I'm on a mission to empower success by equipping businesses with game-changing tools and strategies so that they can stop the chaos and take control of their business. I can help business leaders get back time, cut operational costs, increase revenue, and transform operations with proven efficient systems.

My goal is to make a tangible impact on your bottom line and drive innovation from within.

Referred by Adam Weeks of Cirrus Influence, Anil Gupta became the perfect guest for Mañana No Mas!. He spills the bean of the mindset of huge Agency growth and the nuances of Agency vs. Product in the WordPress space.

Add to this, his passion for wellness and alignment with the Mañana No Mas!'s message of Fiscal Strength being related to Physical Strength... hits home.

I loved meeting Joan Posivy and I pray you do as well. Into the podcast we recognized a couple of common points between us. This is better than "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon".

Joan Posivy: Homeowner by the age of 19. Bank manager by age 22. Serial entrepreneur, and Author of the bestselling book, The Way Success Works: How To Decide, Believe, And Begin To Live Your Best Life!

Today, Joan is thrilled to be the host and producer of the Side Hustle Hero™ podcast.

You know when you meet someone and think "Man, I could talk to this guy for a while." That is what I thought of Adam Weeks when I met him with Spencer Forman at Wordcamp US in Maryland.

I Had a Blast with Nick Lutrick

I met Nick Lutrick on LinkedIn while doing my ice-breaker calls and how he describes his business... it's more than hiring a Virtual Assistant. From my standpoint as an Agency (mostly Solopreneur) it is sometimes more about freedom and time than the margins. Freeing up time has so many benefits. You can redirect yourself to make more profit or margin... or you could sit with your family and watch a movie guilt-free.

About Nick:

Nick Lutrick is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of TaskOn, a company with a simple mission to give people more time in their day so they can focus on what truly matters.

TaskOn provides a platform that allows busy professionals to delegate mission-critical tasks to a specialized team of assistants who are fully hired, trained, and managed by TaskOn. Prior to founding TaskOn, Nick spent over a decade in various roles leading strategic initiatives with a strong focus on process improvement, project & product management, automation, operational efficiency, and change management. He holds dual Master's degrees in Accounting & Business Administration as well as multiple professional certifications.

In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, playing guitar, reading, and being a lifelong learner.

Jaymes O'Pheron is a digital wellness coach and consultant with a passion for lasting transformation through community. He started his career as a web developer but transitioned to coaching remote professionals at the height of covid to help his fellow nerds in the struggles he faced, empowering others to convert stress into growth instead of into burnout. His projects are multivarious, including a collaborative education society focused on cultivating heroes who impact the world with honor.

I first met Jaymes in the Coach Connect networking group and knew he would be someone to follow up with. In this day of he, she, they, and them, it can be refreshing to hear a message of returning to traditional levels of excellence. Focused on a purpose of communication, etiquette, and honor... Jaymes lays out some of the details of his passions -- including how a guy that doesn't dance is all a sudden sword fighting over a lady's dance card.

I met David while co-hosting a different podcast. I found David incredibly inspiring from an "Action Leader" perspective and asked him to finish the conversation. David owns seven companies and helps drive other companies to over 7 figures. In this episode, we talk about Lead Generation, Email, and taking Action... and reveal a new affordable option to working with David directly on your own project. 

Dave is laid back, balanced, and generous while experiencing the success of growing to 7 businesses. It wasn't always like this and he takes the time to share with us the rocky start, leading to today's success. 

After the interview, you may want to connect with David Valentine yourself... here is how: 

I promised the Mañana No Mas! Podcast would make a comeback and we are knocking it out of the park with this 18 year - award winning copywriter.

Nancee Johnson is the boss at WSI Digital Connections. They provide everything in digital marketing from website creation, to SEO, to social.  

One of my newest friends and the quickest podcast turnarounds. Guillermo hits the nail on the head for me on many fronts. He is a Leader, Entrepreneur, Two-wheeled enthusiast, and genuinely nice guy. I was thrilled to have him on the show and I hope he adds value to you in your quest.

I got to spend time with Patrick LeRouge and you are not going to want to miss this Episode. Patrick works with CEOs and high-end leaders to reach their potential by helping to align the body and mind. His three-step process helps them maintain balance while increasing their success.

A self-described Badass Woman, this best-selling author, Speaker, Coach, and Motorcyclist decided as a Veteran to spend Veterans Day Morning with me before running off to Applebees. We had a great conversation that touched on the transition from military to civilian, the hurdles life causes us to jump, and the fantastic story of redemption, as she became the woman we see today. 

I got to know Stacy over this year. We've connected online in multiple groups and have teased each other about coming together on this project to share the Podcast.  She's real. She speaks with transparency and brightens any room. I invite you to now only listen but share this podcast. Once you do, you are going to want to find more about her. I am saving you the research and giving you links below. 

Spending time with the Sherri and Lou from the Lou Everett Group was an amazing way to finish out the week. They are on fire to add value to small to medium businesses focused on TEAMS and leveraging won of my personal favorites - a virtual platform to build a Leadership Community.

I am so very excited to be able to bring you this interview (Podcast) in both video and audio formats. I had the pleasure of meeting Andrew personally through a Jake Ballentine event in Pasadena. Andrew was one of the highlights during the three-day workshop. Add to that, the almost instantaneous COVID shutdowns and Andrew was one of the last impressionable speakers to present to the Speaker, Author, and Coach summit as presented by Jake.

I watched as many attendees in the Summit then followed Andrew on "The Heart of Presenting" Facebook page, taking part in his 10-day challenge. For many, this experience is transformational. For me, it led to a paradigm shift in how I perceive my own presenting style and left me open to change.

I hope that you enjoy this moment with Andrew and appreciate the value and transparency he brought to the interview. A canceled 2020 dream year of travel, a recent move, and a forthcoming baby give a guy a lot to think about... tune in to hear those thoughts.
