Whether you’re an entrepreneur preparing to pitch investors, a student walking into an interview, or a professional looking to sharpen your communication skills, this episode delivers practical tools to elevate your message. Key Takeaways🎯 The Three Elements of a Pitch:Problem — Define the challenge clearly and vividly.Solution — Show exactly how your product/service addresses the problem.Transformation — Demonstrate the tangible benefit and impact.🗣 Clarity is King: If your audience struggles to understand, your message is lost. Grammar and structure matter because they reduce “cognitive load” for listeners.💡 Confidence is Learned: Great communicators aren’t “born.” Skills can be taught, practiced, and improved through deliberate techniques.📖 The Power of Storytelling: Stories make pitches persuasive, relatable, and memorable — much more than raw information ever could.🤝 Audience Matters: A technical pitch for engineers won’t land the same way with executives or investors. Always tailor your language and style to the people in the room.Quotes Worth Remembering“It’s not what you say, it’s what they hear.” — Dr. Steven Greene“A pitch without an ask is not a pitch.” — Barbara Boldt“Sales is really teaching.” — Dr. Steven Greene“Confidence comes from methodology, not memorization.” — Barbara BoldtResources & Links🌐 Connect with Barbara Boldt: boldtglobal.com💼 Find Barbara on LinkedIn: Barbara A.

Here we go... The Profit Servant - Jame C - and Dr Steve launch their joint podcast project. This release is an introduction and description of what to expect.Some discussion points...@3:42 - James CorbettI am very excited about this, Steve, to tell you the truth. For a long time, we've wanted to just get our honest opinion on what's going on with our lives and the directions we take based on anything new and up and coming in any field, whether it's cryptocurrency in the health world, you know, any which way we could go anywhere.Have great line. We come from the heart and talk about any particular project every week, so we mix it up, we get it out there, we get people to say what's going to happen next week, that show was so fantastic, we want to tune in next week, and we just want to bring whatever is relevant at that time out to our audiences and go a little bit more public.For a long time me and Steve have been talking behind the scenes relatively in obscurity. We have meetings during the week that we don't even promote where we meet with people, and I think it's time to come that we get our message.So many exciting things are coming out this summer that we need to be talking about.ACTION ITEM: Create list of potential guests for podcast episodes - WATCH@4:52 - Dr SteveWe have guests lined up, specialists in their fields, things of that nature. What's going to be going down, right? It's all kinds of topics, really nothing. this said nothing's off limits either, but in general, business techniques, you got a lot of knowledge, a lot of years of experience, team building, passive income, opportunities, things like that, passive income ability, trends in the market, trends in business, current events.There's so much going on even in the news every day now. Education, that's near and dear to me. I think an educated person is just in a better position to make smart decisions. The whole decentralized economy, there's so many different things we can talk about, but the whole idea is to keep a new perspective, maybe go in different directions that we can't necessarily do on a team meeting on Tuesday or Thursday or Wednesday or whatever, and roll it From there, and the whole idea will be we can take questions, deal with them in the forum, maybe expand on them a lot more than we could. So, where's this going to happen in this kind of podcast format online? And we're just going to make it happen.What are you most excited about here, Jim?@6:04 - James CorbettI like the focus on one particular subject each and every podcast. So often I feel on Tech Tuesdays, on Thrive Thursdays, and to some degree, although not exclusively, on Wellness Wednesdays, a lot of times we veer off in different directions.Not so much on Wednesdays. Obviously, that's been a focal, more of a singular focus point. But to have a program where we can kind of focus on and talk about a little bit more in depth.So many times on Thursday nights we skim past programs that we really can't talk about we really want to get into, which is the meat and potatoes of what drove us to that particular project, what attracts us to stay with that particular project, and what makes us feel safe about being in that particular project.Because after all, remember, anything that me and Steve are promoting or anything that we do, we brought it, we bring it amongst a community, we vet it out as a community.And we can't Keep it in-house as a community. We find that not being that serial type of networker, serial type of promoter of other businesses is the safe way to go nowadays.I think there's too much of that garbage out there. But that's what I'm focused about. Concentration and focus on one particular subject each and every week.@7:20 - Dr SteveYou know what I'm psyched about is this. I like the idea that we can kind of just bounce ideas back and forth. We can bring in guests. It's just going to open up another channel, hopefully, to everybody's friends. I'm not doing this for me. I think Jim's not doing it for him. Absolutely not.Learn More... Submit your request here:I want to be on the mAke the grAde Experience PodcastCheck out all that Dr Greene offers: http//:www.makethegrade.netEntrepreneurial Opportunities: I want to be an entrepreneurThe Student Entrepreneur AcademyThe Student Entrepreneur AcademyReach Dr Steve directly: [email protected]

Talking Points:Lack of job passion is a worldwide problem that’s too big to ignore.Why finding a job you love is the single most important thing anyone can do to ensure lasting happiness in their life.The conventional career choice and job search models are missing the job passion component.How a revolutionary new online career assessment called the DreamJob Type Indicator (DJTI)™ quickly identifies your job passion.Bio: Ken Steven is an entrepreneur, consultant, author, speaker, coach, and former marketing and advertising executive for Fortune 500 companies. He envisions a world where everyone eagerly embraces their work, feeling passionate and purpose-driven by what they do. It is not only his passion but his life’s purpose, to help at least one million people get unstuck from a job they don’t enjoy and discover one that fuels their passion and inspires their purpose. Ken spent most of his career working in jobs that he disliked, simply chasing opportunities for bigger paychecks to fund a better lifestyle he ultimately became too miserable to enjoy. He desperately wanted to find a job he could feel deeply passionate about doing. But he had no clue what his passion was. Frustrated that the conventional passion discovery methods were fruitless for him, Ken spent 16 years researching, developing, and testing a better way. The result was his invention of the DreamJob Type Indicator (DJTI)™. It is the only professional online career assessment specifically designed to identify the type of work you’ll naturally feel passionate about doing, and the specific job titles to pursue to have joy, meaning, and fulfillment from your work. In August 2021, Ken published his book DREAM JOB DISCOVERY – How to Find a Job That Fuels Your Passion and Inspires Your Purpose (Even If You Don’t Know Your Passion or Purpose). It is available almost everywhere books are sold online, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Apple Books. Ken believes that when you find your job passion, you find your joy, and when you share your job passion, you find your purpose Links: Website: dreamjobdiscovery.com email: [email protected] LinkedIn: @kennethstevenTwitter: @coachkensteven Instagram: @coachkensteven The post EP. 148 | Ken Steven appeared first on mAke the grAde.Learn More... Submit your request here:I want to be on the mAke the grAde Experience PodcastCheck out all that Dr Greene offers: http//:www.makethegrade.netEntrepreneurial Opportunities: I want to be an entrepreneurThe Student Entrepreneur AcademyThe Student Entrepreneur AcademyReach Dr Steve directly: [email protected]

Talking Points:Small business owners and entrepreneurs wear many hats. Deciding the specific areas in which they provide the most unique value to their businesses, and have the most passion, is critical. For the “other hats”, invest in finding people with the right skill sets to thrive in those areas.There are fundamental differences between management, leadership, and coaching. It’s important for entrepreneurs to understand the different situations in which to apply each role within their companies.Disruptive Discovery, as a facilitation method, can make a positive difference for leaders, sales professionals, coaches, consultants, and advisers.How finding my WHY and the “Do Something” Principle lead to me writing a book, and how these concepts can help entrepreneurs in other ways.Bio: Disruptive Discovery is an experienced-based facilitation model involving a heavy emphasis on “The 10 Questions That Matter.” The mission of this first book is to create a community of disruptors—Facilitators of Betterment—and energize them to make their own positive difference in the lives of others by focusing on what really matters, not wasting time on the stuff that, you know, doesn’t. It’s a vehicle to share what’s on his mind in an attempt to help people help other people. Will it work? Will it be a difference-maker? He hopes so and is issuing a challenge to find out. Better yet, to get disruptive.

Talking Points:How to best deal with one of your biggest enemies in starting and building a new business, You? A. The 3 P’s: persistence, patience and perseveranceB. Think about the old saying “put your eggs in more than one basket”. Stop watching the water waiting for it to boil! Start another pot!C. Whip your undisciplined self into shape. How? Structure and organization with specific dates and goals.D. If at first you don’t succeed try, try, try, try, try again. Try out as many concepts as you can afford and want to.E. Read, read, read. Read as many books on business, entrepeneurialship and sales as you can get recommendations for. $100 start up is a great book to get ideas and get the juices flowing.F Blood, sweat and tears. Count the price in time and money. Are you willing to pay it? Everything in life is give and take.G. Do you know your why? There’s another great book ‘Start with Why’. Without this you’re just chasing money. Would you spend your entire life chasing a hammer or a drill? Of course not. Money is nothing more than a tool we can leverage, like a hammer, to build or destroy. We humans think it’s all about money, but it’s not. It’s about our purpose, our gifts, our talents, our interests, our passions, our why and using all of this to serve those around us with a kind word, a job or even to help them see their purpose.Bio: Dad from IN, mother from upstate New York. They met in Syracuse while my dad was with the USAF, married 6 months later and I was born overseas. Raised in Syracuse after dad separated from USAF. Went to SUNY Polytechnic to study mechanical engineering. Worked as an engineer for over 10 years before moving into sales, which I also did for over 10 years before I realized I really needed and wanted to work for myself. Covid only made this more clear. A few years ago I got involved with a non-profit organization. They have a lot of different focuses. I’ve been most interested in sustainability from energy, to addressing hunger to teaching a man or woman “how to fish”.

Talking Points:Her hybrid, digital course the “ABC’s of an American Accent” is a highly personalized one year coaching program that transforms lives.Special Offer to join a Free monthly 1st Monday Accent Reduction Coaching Course: https://bit.ly/3nbdf32_1stMondayBio: Donna Durbin moved 9 times by the 9th grade. Growing up as an “Air Force” kid, Donna knows about starting over, making friends and being the “new kid” in town and embracing change. Her entrepreneurial life style started at 25 years old, when she bought her first house in Houston, TX and began all the remodeling, along with husband and two sons. Donna’s creative spirit took on a nine year challenge; learning to refinish floors, lay tile, construct lattice fencing and floating and taping sheetrock to design the home of her dreams, complete with 2nd story studio space and swimming pool. At 32 years old, she returned to college to finish her BA and Masters of Fine Art in fibers. As a professional artist, her weavings and artwork were commissioned for hotels, private clients and exhibited internationally and nationally. It was her love of textiles that lured her to travel the globe to 12 countries, and learn to speak French, Bahasa Indonesian, Japanese, Italian, Spanish and Thai. Being self-employed and having a flexible schedule, she supplemented her professional art career as an adjunct teacher at the Art Institute of Houston, Houston Community College, as well as, guest lecturer and workshop leader. In 2005, she began working with adults from over 40 countries teaching ESL at University of Houston. There had always been a desire to live abroad, so in 2008, Donna sold all her belongings, except her art, and what treasures would fit in a 10’ x 20’ storage unit to move to Thailand. Traveling Southeast Asia for two years, allowed her to experience the ex-pat life and identify with the challenges immigrants face when speaking a foreign language and adjusting to a new culture. Her passion is to teach accent reduction and English communication skills to non-native English speakers, to equalize their opportunities in an English speaking global market. Donna transforms a person’s language frustrations, insecurities, misunderstandings and doubts into someone who confidently speaks English that clearly conveys their intelligence, technical knowledge, passion and individual personality.
