What is the best way for you to use your energy? How should you make important decisions? It turns out, it might be different for each person. Dale and I are big fans of learning about things outside of our industry and what we do day to day. You never know how these lines of curiosity will end up improving your skills or help with making connections. Recently I've been learning about something called Human Design. Human Design (or HD for short) is a way to understand how you're uniquely wired. ...

In today’s episode we’re talking about discounting your prices. Should you do it? And if so how? We're approaching the biggest sale day of the year. So big that it's spread from it's originating country and is now being observed by retailers around the world. I'm of course talking about Black Friday (and Cyber Monday). Dale and I discuss when you should discount and when you shouldn't. Also how much to discount and how to use bundles as a way to not cheapen your services. Links to things we ment...

Selling is merely helping someone change their point of view. From convincing your partner that there is a right way to stack the dishwasher to selling what you do to your potential customers. One way leads to an argument or flat our dismissal, the other way leads to them seeing your point of view. The key is starting with understanding that persons world view right now. How can we see things they way they see things? That's what we talk about in today's episode. Links to things we mentioned: Ca...

Having known Dale for some time I've been struck by his ability to not only move through challenging times, but also be a beacon to of support and understanding to those around him. Whenever we talk about it one book often comes up: The Go-Giver . Struggling with the current lockdown I bought myself a copy on a whim and read it that week (it's nice a short). It challenged me so much that I knew I needed to talk to Dale about it. This is that conversation, recorded for you to hear. We go through ...

We can accomplish much more than we think in a year. And much less than we think in a day. Recently Kyle heard Charles Duhigg say this on a podcast: Throughout history, there’s only been one killer productivity app, and it is, thinking more deeply, training ourselves to think more deeply about the choices that we are making, to make sure that what I am doing right now, aligns with what I think is most important, and acknowledging that it might be different yesterday and it might be different tom...

Ever look at someone else's business and think: 'Wow, they get so much done!' What you're probably seeing is the result of lots of tiny experiments. Experiments help us discover if there is a need for our idea. Some work out and some fail. By making them a habit we can stave off stagnating or losing too much when one thing fails. This week on Lead Your Tribe, Dale and I share some of our current experiments to give you a few examples.

What happens when we try to do something that’s outside our comfort zone? Inevitably, there will be moments of failure. Things outside of our control will happen.

From recent pandemic related disappointments to past disappointments (because when we feel new disappointments, it brings up those from the past too), th...

Dressed in scrubs and a gown, Dale and his wife eagerly awaited the arrival of their first child. This moment was 9 months in the making and the day was finally here. Pregnancy complications meant the baby would be arriving via a scheduled C-Section. After arriving at the hospital for a morning surgery they had now been waiting for 8 hours as other surgeries pushed back the C-Section. At the last moment the surgeon arrived to tell them that they had run out of time and that they needed to come b...

Growing up for Anthony Bartolo meant saying goodbye to the support and community of the team sports he played as a child.

Dale caught up with Anthony recently and the two of them talk about creating a great culture in your tribe. They cover: Going all-in on your business. Serving the wider...

Putting yourself out there can be incredibly daunting, especially when you compare what you have to say with what other leaders and influencers out there are already doing. We end up feeling ‘Imposter Syndrome’ and we end up just writing and sharing content that we think people want to hear. We water down what we have to say and that results in us feeling crummy because we aren’t sharing what makes us awesome and little to no engagement because the soul has been taken out of our content. In this...
