Have you CONNECTED with your soul?
And what on Earth does that mean? Also, how can this impact your business? Danny Salfield interviews Glen Casey and me in this episode and let me tell you, Glen is one of THE MOST soulful people out there!
This conversation was SO GOOD we ended up doing a post-show after the episode “ended”. We just couldn’t stop talking!
After a transformative experience in his 20s in which he connected with his soul, Glen had an entirely new perspective on life. This allowed him to become a successful brand manager, and he was the one responsible for bringing Patagonia to surfing in Australia!
However, his life hasn’t been without setbacks and it was RECONNECTING with himself and his soul that allowed him to keep going!
Glen is as vulnerable as it gets during this episode in which he provides excellent tips and strategies for business owners like you.
Glen talks about his “two Ps” involved in growing a brand. These are PEOPLE and POSITION. It’s all about connecting with others and offering things they truly want or need. He also talks about the importance of NOT OVERSELLING for the sake of making more money!
The key to long-lasting relationships with clients is to give them what they need and then THEY’LL KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE.
Glen also talks about strategies such as changes in pricing and how to enter a new market. He has firsthand experience and has learned a thing or two about marketing to a NEW AUDIENCE, which can be a very scary endeavor.
We also go deep into the importance of leveraging the VIRTUES of a company to keep it true to the culture and goals you have set for it. Also, we talk about how YOUR LEADERSHIP has a ripple effect on the entire company and all employees AND clients.
Remember, WHAT YOU DO IS WHO YOU ARE and just talking about it is not going to get the job done.
As Glen puts it, taking ACTION is what is truly going to make your business thrive. Plus, you can also apply this to your personal life.
There is SO MUCH to unpack here, from amazing business insights to the importance of connecting with your soul and truly bringing your ENTIRE EXISTENCE to a new level of balance.
