Learn how to fix your sales team's low closing rate with the seven-hour content system modern buyers demand Your struggling sales team isn't the problem - they're being handed leads that aren't even close to ready to buy, then blamed when those leads don't convert. The brutal truth is that modern buyers now consume an average of seven hours of content and take 211 days to make a B2B purchasing decision, yet most companies are still pushing their sales teams to close deals within 48 hours of first contact. This fundamental mismatch is killing conversion rates and trapping founders back into...

info_outlineLearn how to scale authentic empathy and create meaningful impact in business while building sustainable wealth
Look, we live in a crazy world right now. The news is screaming that the sky is falling, social media's got everyone at each other's throats, and AI is encouraging shortcuts over real connection. But here's what I know - with every challenge comes an equal and opposite opportunity. In this episode, I sit down with Chris Yoko to dive deep into what really separates successful entrepreneurs from everyone else: genuine care. Not the kind you SAY you have, but the kind people actually FEEL. We explore how to build empathy at scale, why authenticity isn't just nice-to-have but mission-critical, and how you get paid in direct proportion to the impact you provide others.
Chris Yoko is the CEO of Yoko Consulting and founder of Carbon Off - and let me tell you, this guy gets it. He's worked with powerhouse brands like Ritz Carlton, Living Social, and Pampers, helping impact over 100 million lives. Chris is part of MMT, our mastermind group of 7, 8, and 9-figure entrepreneurs, and his superpower is helping organizations create authentic impact through technology. What I love about Chris is he doesn't just talk about caring - he shows organizations how to systematically demonstrate it at scale.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Your competitive advantage isn't your marketing tactics or sales systems - it's whether people genuinely believe you care about their success more than your own profit.
- Empathy at scale means building systems that help you see, hear, and understand what's truly important to each person you serve.
- Real empathy requires accuracy in reading people's emotions AND the wisdom to know when to pull them up rather than sink down with them.
- The Ritz Carlton doesn't just deliver great service - they anticipate what would make you feel special before you even know you need it.
- Servant leadership means your people get the credit when you win, and you take the blame when things go wrong - that's how you build loyalty that runs soul-deep.
- You want to build lasting wealth? Expand your vision beyond yourself to your family, community, country, and world - the bigger your impact, the bigger your income.
- The wealthiest people aren't thinking small like "the world" - they're already exploring space because their vision for impact knows no bounds.
- In times of chaos and uncertainty, the companies that survive and thrive are those with superfans who feel genuinely cared for and connected to a meaningful mission.
