Becoming a Master: The Process of Teaching
In this episode, Kyle Gray discusses the art of teaching and how it shapes knowledge and improves skills. He shares his own experience of writing a book and how the process of teaching through writing helped him become more familiar with his ideas. Kyle emphasizes the importance of recognizing that you become a master through the process of teaching, not after achieving success. He also highlights the benefits of teaching, such as sharpening your thoughts, scaling your processes, and leaving a legacy of knowledge. Kyle encourages listeners to start teaching what they know to become true masters of their craft. In This Episode We Discuss Teaching through writing or speaking helps you become more familiar with your ideas and improves your mastery of your craft. The process of teaching challenges your ideas, clarifies your thoughts, and allows you to reflect and improve upon them. Teaching not only benefits others but also sharpens your own thinking and allows you to scale your processes. Resistance and self-doubt are signs that you are on the right path, and pushing through them leads to growth and rewards.

The Authority Paradox
04/02/2024
The Authority Paradox
SummaryThe authority paradox is the more you try to prove your credibility, the less credible you appear. Proving credibility often involves teaching as much as possible and listing certifications, but this can be distracting and overwhelming for the audience. Focusing on yourself instead of your audience hurts your connection with them. Instead of teaching all the details, focus on shifting belief patterns. Teaching to shift beliefs requires empathy and understanding of your clients. Using client stories and strategizing what to teach can inspire action and create credibility. In This Episode We Discuss The more you try to prove your credibility, the less credible you appear. Focusing on yourself instead of your audience hurts your connection with them. Teaching to shift beliefs requires empathy and understanding of your clients. Using client stories and strategizing what to teach can inspire action and create credibility.

2023 Year in Review

2023 Year in Review
Today I am excited to share my year in review. 2023 has come to a close somewhat like the movie The Empire Strikes Back for me. It is cautiously and hopefully optimistic after a wild adventure where very little that the protagonists planned actually went to plan but they make it out mostly in one piece and wiser and stronger for the experience. It does set the stage for the bigger victory in the next movie. With me, it wasn’t the happiest or easiest year but I do hope what I have learned and what I have gone through will set the stage for something even bigger and even more exciting in 2024. I want to share some of these insights and reflections as they might be helpful for you to understand my mindset and use them in your own story. In This Episode: The first and most defining part of 2023 for me was lots of moving. One of the biggest insights that happened to me and for me was the opportunity to really witness my own self-critic and acknowledge and understand the effects that it has on me. Simple things add up.

Hidden Keys to High Ticket Coaching with Shannon Graham
Today on the show we have Shannon Graham returning for a second time. Shannon is a really inspiring figure in my life and one of the first people to open me up to the possibilities of very high ticket sales. Shannon loves to do sales of six figures or larger. So today we are going to talk about exactly what it takes to create a six figure plus offer and how to lead and grow a business with your imagination and creativity rather than your own personal experience. In This Episode: The Future Self exercise can be used to shake yourself out of the pattern you have been in so you can embrace this new and different way of being. Everyone has a higher version of themselves. Elevating the conversation is taking what you have been doing and how you have been speaking about it and elevating that conversation so that it resonates with a different crowd of people. We all desire to some degree to be more, to do more, to have more, and to give more. Be honest about that and what you want. Just that honestly alone can be very empowering and illuminating. And so much more!!! Connect with Shannon Graham:
