A hundred and some odd employees. We had to spend about 25,000 a month in paid.

And then we spend about $10,000 a month on our just projects and updates, which we consider like supporting HR, supporting our sales team, those types of things. So we put our money where our mouths is, we try to learn the lessons our clients need to learn before they learn them. And that was a big part of what came next as well is we gotta do this for ourselves, guys. So we ask ourselves tougher questions than our clients do all the time.

Authority Building Secrets [00:00:00] Greg Heilers: In the journalist outreach ecosystem, as it were, there are limitations. There's only so many publications. So if you only want new wins, for example, it's not super scalable because the same publications are coming again and again. But for the person who wants to stay relevant, stay top of mind, to both algorithms and human readers, yeah, we have clients who are with us for years. And we're just doing something like 5 or maybe 10 wins per month, month after month after month. Now we don't count the syndicated stuff. So there's way more in terms of syndicated content out there that definitely builds and it scales. But I'm just talking purely about the one-to-one wins that we've built.

Marketing Machine [00:00:00] James Brown: We make decisions in the emotional side of our brain. That's how humans are wired. We like to say we make logical decisions. Even lawyers especially like to say we make logical decisions, but we don't. I started looking for another car and I found this Lexus ES 350 with low profile tires and chrome rims and blacked-out windows. Man, that's a sexy car, right? And so the emotional side of my brain was, I want that car. And so as soon as I made a decision to, this is the car for me, the logical side of the brain started kicking in and looking for justifications. Oh, it gets 30 miles to the gallon. Oh, I can park in a regular garage with that thing, right? Oh, this way my wife can drive this car. She couldn't drive the Hummer. So all of a sudden your brain kicks in to justify your decision. That's where buyer's remorse lives. So when we're marketing, the buyer's journey, what they do is they got all these things going on in their head and you tap into the emotion and they make a decision. Oh, I think this is the right business for me. And as soon as they make that decision, they start to look for justifications, [00:01:22] Narrator: Fastlane Founders and Legacy with Jason Barnard.

Start at the End [00:00:00] Dave Lavinsky: So if we have a hundred employees in 10 years, we probably have 90 in nine years. You probably have 80 in eight years, right? Obviously, it's not linear, but it's gonna be somewhat of a trajectory going forward. So yes, let's look at five years, where do we need to be in five years? And get that down on paper. And then once again, and keep moving backwards to figure out what we need to achieve this year. Because I think a lot of businesses, if we look at this year, even if they're successful from a profitability perspective, are they building the assets that they need to build to get to where they really want to be?

[00:01:37] Dave Lavinsky: When we talk about Start at the End, we talk about envisioning where you want your business to be in X years, which is the end, and how you create a plan, reverse engineer that end vision so that you can achieve that vision over the next X years. [00:01:56] Jason Barnard: Right, which is why you got tagged as interesting guest by Gab. [00:02:00] Dave Lavinsky: We'll take it.

[00:02:10] Dave Lavinsky: Okay. [00:02:10] Jason Barnard: Before we get into that, Kalicube® looks after personal brands and corporate brands for entrepreneurs, and you have a lovely Knowledge Panel. If I search your name on Google, you look great. It lists you as an author, which is unfortunate because you're actually an entrepreneur, but you look really good. Is your name unique? [00:02:34] Dave Lavinsky: Mostly. There is a couple. There's one David Lavinsky, but I'm the only one that goes by Dave. So there is. If you do search on just Lavinsky or David Lavinsky, you'll find one or two other people. But yes, it is pr

Podcast Brand Power [00:00:00] Seth Goldstein: It's about the flow. And people hate when I say that, but it's about the flow. It's about when you have an idea and if you have time to do, act on that idea right away. Go do it right then. Just go work on the blog post, the podcast, the idea you're working on. If you don't, write it down in as quickly, in as much detail as possible. [00:00:23] Otherwise, you're not gonna remember it. [00:00:25] Narrator: Fastlane Founders and Legacy with Jason Barnard.

You use podcasts to boost your personal brand and your business brand, but it's all about content for you. You use the podcast as the launching pad, but just before we get into that, I always show the search results for my guest's name. [00:01:33] Your name is Seth Goldstein. [00:01:35] Seth Goldstein: The trick is Seth M. Goldstein. If you do a Seth M. Goldstein, I'm all over the place. Seth Goldstein is too complex. It's not too complex. It's too common for a name. And honestly, Seth Goldstein, the angel investor, I know him personally because we fought for the verified username on Facebook when they first came out with that. We were on chat at 12 midnight. [00:02:00] Jason Barnard: Right. [00:02:00] Seth Goldstein: And he got it before me because I had to do a refresh. [00:02:03] Jason Barnard: Brilliant. So when you have a common name, adding the middle initial disambiguate, and that's a great way. [00:02:09] Seth Goldstein: I was a journalist for six years and I made it purposeful. I knew that back in 2006, the early aughts. And I was like, all right, I'm gonna be Seth M. Goldstein. I'm not a big fan of my middle name. It's Plain Jane. It's Michael. But Seth M. Goldstein I come up for, and I have sethgoldstein.me. I have sethgoldstein.net. I have everything around that, but I don't have the.com because Mr. Angel Investor turned the table.

Jenkins Transcript from Chad T. Jenkins with Jason Barnard on Fastlane Founders And Legacy. The VCR Formula™ [00:00:00] Chad T. Jenkins: Now I understand. Unlimited amount of vision for value creation is when I came up with these new ideas, no matter how many companies I owned, there was no room in the end. All of my teams wanted my ideas to sleep in the manger, and that was quite frustrating. When I began to look around, I also noticed that many entrepreneurs around the entire planet, I'm very fortunate to talk to 'em every day now, they all had a WHO-deficiency. And I define WHO as With the Help of Others. It was a collaboration. So empowering entrepreneurs with that awareness and also with the building blocks of how to grow like no other, you're probably starting to see it's a combination. Be very attentive to friction. These ideas that come to you, write them down. And through the art of collaboration is the only way everything, anything ever becomes real and also recurs. So now, you have the building blocks to reach whatever level of success that you really want. [00:00:59] Narrator: Fastlane Founders and Legacy with Jason Barnard.

The DecaMillionaire Doctrine [00:00:00] Justin Goodbread: A DecaMillionaire is how fast can I scale? How fast can I move? Instead of planning for a million dollars in revenue, how do I actually plan for $10 million in revenue during the exact same timeframe? And what separates DecaMillionaires from the average millionaire out there is simply a mindset of getting out our own way. [00:00:21] Justin Goodbread: I had the privilege of interviewing literally hundreds of DecaMillionaires and those who coach DecaMillionaires on my podcast, DecaMillionaire Decoded. And we're writing about this under my newest book, The DecaMillionaire Way. And how any business owner can reach a $10 million net worth. And what it all boils down to this mindset, Jason of [00:00:39] Narrator: Fastlane Founders and Legacy with Jason Barnard.

[00:01:08] Jason Barnard: Hi, everybody and welcome to another Fastlane Founders and Legacy with me, Jason Barnard. And a quick hello and we're good to go. Welcome to the show, Justin Goodbread. [00:01:21] Justin Goodbread: Hey Jason. How are you sir? [00:01:23] Jason Barnard: I'm fine. Today we're going to be talking about the DecaMillionaire Doctrine and if I understand correctly, a DecaMillionaire is 10 million. [00:01:32] Justin Goodbread: That is absolutely correct. $10 million or more net worth is whenever you reach Deca millionaire status. So 10 million to 99.999 million is DecaMillionaires. [00:01:43] Jason Barnard: Right. And how many of them are in the world? I actually talked to a friend of mine. He suggested that ChatGPT told him 33,000. [00:01:51] Justin Goodbread: That's correct. [00:01:52] Justin Goodbread: There's less than 40,000 DecaMillionaires in the world at this particular point. Now, my job and what my goal is to radically change that, Jason, because I look at the DecaMillionaire, it's like the millionaire of the 1990s. You know, 1990 was the century ago, right? So here we're in the two thousands. [00:02:08] Justin Goodbread: We gotta raise the bar. So $10 million is a new millionaire. That's where we're at going forward. [00:02:13] Jason Barnard: Okay. So today you're going to make one more, so it'll be 33,000 and 1. And that's me in a few years time, and hopefully other people watching it will make it 33,000 and 2, 33,000 and 3 and th

Systems That Scale [00:00:00] Jason Barnard: It is easier to train a machine than it is to train a person. You agree with that, and it's also scalable. [00:00:10] Abel Horvath: Yeah, completely. We have trained AI on multiple levels. Our sales department got reduced because we have AI agents for receiving calls, for doing live chats and on the receiving call side, it's amazing how natural it sounds. [00:00:28] Abel Horvath: AI developed in the last two years from a robotic voice who is just barely understanding what you want to like a very natural sounding, almost human-like conversation. So it does really and it's incredible to think where are we going to be two years from now? [00:00:48] Jason Barnard: A hundred percent. And you are talking about the kind of automated voices for responding. My immediate reaction is I hate those standards where you that you call in and it says, if you want this, click one. If you want that, click two which is the old style. And it we may lack the imagination to imagine what it can actually look like. [00:01:07] Jason Barnard: What does it look like? [00:01:10] Abel Horvath: Literally as soon as you dial our number, the agent picks it up and it's like, Hey, how may I help you? And you just tell them, I'm looking to talk to your sales representative. Then it will ask you, oh, wonderful. Then, what are you exactly looking for? What kind of services are you looking for? [00:01:27] Abel Horvath: And it gives you the answers. You tell them, I'm selling shoes online. Danny tells you, okay, you can do that in these facilities. Like it has access to our massive database, our contracts, our agreements, our pricing list. It has a lot more information than a human agent, and it's providing information that humans can't even comprehend all that information. [00:01:49] Abel Horvath: So it's very useful. It's better than a human. [00:01:52] Narrator: Fastlane Founders and Legacy with Jason Barnard. Each week.

Debt-Free Empire [00:00:00] Joel Friedland: One guy told me yesterday, 60% of his investible money is with me. That's bad. That's dangerous. That's dangerous because there's no diversification. What happens if, God forbid, industrial real estate becomes like office real estate where you can't fill an office building 'cause people are working at home. [00:00:22] Joel Friedland: I don't think that's gonna happen in industrial 'cause people have to actually work with their hands and be on site. In industrial manufacturing operation, there's trained labor. So industrials likely not to have an implosion like office did 'cause of COVID. But the message that I want to get to people is, yeah, you should put three or 4% of your net worth in my safe stuff. [00:00:52] Joel Friedland: That's a steady Eddie that gives you passive income but not 60%. But some people do that with me and I'm grateful to have them. But I wish that it would be more diversified. [00:01:06] Narrator: Fastlane Founders and Legacy with Jason Barnard. Each week.

You said you watched a couple of episodes and that's what caught your attention. Not the content and the interesting insights you get but the song. Lovely to meet you, Joel. You've built a hundred million dollar empire of debt-free investment in industrial real estate. And you've done it mostly through your network and the people you knew. And you've made the step to move all of this online. And created a social profile or social presence. And realize that your competitors have got the jump on you because they've already got social media teams working and you are struggling. [00:02:32] Jason Barnard: So we're gonna talk, first of all about debt-free, empire debt-free real estate, industrial real estate, and your hundred million dollar business. And then say, how are you building it online? And what can you do to improve how you are reaching out to these investors who need to have 25 to $50,000 to invest with you and need to have a million dollars or more in the bank? [00:02:52] Jason Barnard: If I've understood correctly. [00:02:56] Joel Friedland: That's what we do. We own industrial buildings only in the Chicago area. We're laser focused on one niche. [00:03:07] Jason Barnard: That's super smart and very difficult to do. [00:03:10] Joel Friedland: It is. I've heard this before, the riches are in the niches. And our niche, and I've been do

Virtual Empire [00:00:00] Daniel Ramsey: Unless you have a solidly written down plan and a solidly describable culture. Culture usually is vision, value, and mission. And it's really simple. We exist to provide this value to this group of people so that they can experience this thing in life. That's either a value proposition or a great mission statement. [00:00:26] Daniel Ramsey: And if you're listening right now, you can pause and go back and write this stuff down. Because this is where most people miss when they're going from the we to the they is they haven't got a clearly articulated value proposition for the customer, mission, statement, values for your internal employees how we behave. They say a brand and your marketing guy so you like this. A brand is what your customers say, or a brand is what your customers say when you're not in the room. Culture is what your employees say when you're not in the room. So these are the ways to measure these things so that you can be really specific and measurable about your culture.

It was a long career before I became Google expert and AI expert. Speaking of which, AI mode, we're looking at this today for you. I was super interested because we've been working with you on your Knowledge Panel, which has been a bit of a difficult situation because of the other Daniel Ramsey and what we have here is when you look in AI mode, Google goes into cascading fan queries. [00:02:20] Jason Barnard: Eight different queries, 54 passages from pages to figure this out where you dominate. So AI mode is great news for you because what Google can do is analyze the two different Daniel Ramseys and figure out who is the most relevant and separate the two in a very clear manner. So personally speaking, I'm a big fan of AI mode. [00:02:45] Jason Barnard: How have you felt about it? [00:

CEO Success Blueprint [00:00:00] Glenn Gow: And we as humans are very automatic. I would argue that today more than 90% of what you do, Jason is automatic. And that's a good thing. You do it because it works. And you don't have to think really hard about situations. But it's particularly difficult when let's say you have an interaction with an employee when they didn't do what they said they were going to do and you were depending on them getting that done. [00:00:35] What happens in our minds is that you become upset. Rightfully so and it happens in milliseconds. There's nothing you can do to stop the way you actually feel in that moment, which is upset or angry or some other emotion. The question then is what do you do once those brain chemicals flood your body, and you're feeling upset. [00:00:59] What do you do in that moment? [00:01:01] Narrator: Fastlane Founders and Legacy with Jason Barnard. Each week, Jason sits down with successful entrepreneurs, CEOs and executives, and get them to share how they mastered the delicate balance between rapid growth and enduring success in the business world. How can we quickly build a profitable business that stands at test of time and becomes their legacy. A legacy we're proud of. Fastlane Founders and Legacy with Jason Barnard. [00:01:30] Jason Barnard: Hello everybody and welcome to another Fastlane Founders and Legacy. I'm Jason Barnard and I'm here with a quick hello and we're good to go. Welcome to the show, Glen Gow. [00:01:42] Glenn Gow: Wow. Had no idea I was going to be sung to. That's fantastic, jason. It's a pleasure to be here. [00:01:48] Jason Barnard: Yeah. I'm wondering, did I get your name right? Gaw rather than Go? [00:01:52] Glenn Gow: You did. It's actually yes. Yes, exactly. [00:01:55] Jason Barnard: And that's surprisingly important because the algorithms Google, AI, ChatGPT, Microsoft, read or listen to rather the videos and analyze the audio. Saying somebody's name right is super important so that Google and Bing and ChatGPT and Perplexity understand that Glenn Gow is talking to Jason Barnard. [00:02:17] Glenn Gow: Wonderful. Barnard. Barnard. How's that? [00:02:21] Jason Barnard: So saying very clearly the names of the people on the show is super important. And on that topic, before we carry on with the CEO Success Blueprint, which I'm super interested in about coaching CEOs, what makes a great CEO? What makes a less great CEO, which I'm obviously aiming to be the former rather than latter. [00:02:39] I'll start with Google search results. You have this lovely little Knowledge Panel on the right hand side when I search your name, which looks great. So you look like an authority. Unfortunately, it says author. I would imagine you'

Jensen Transcript from Cody C. Jensen with Jason Barnard on Fastlane Founders And Legacy. Scaling with Soul [00:00:00] Jason Barnard: So I'm looking at the screen. I can see scaling with soul. AI doesn't have a soul. [00:00:07] Cody C. Jensen: Does not have a soul. [00:00:08] Jason Barnard: Agential AI doesn't have a soul. So there's another contradiction going on there. So how do you scale with soul and use AI? [00:00:17] Cody C. Jensen: I think number one, recognizing AI for what it is. As you said, It does not have a soul. [00:00:25] Cody C. Jensen: It is literally a machine. You're having conversations with a computer that has very little knowledge as it relates to being a human, right. It can only learn from humans itself and then over time, it can teach itself more and more. So scaling with soul starts, I believe with leadership, top down. [00:00:48] Jason Barnard: So you have a soul. [00:00:51] Cody C. Jensen: I have a soul. Yes. [00:00:53] Jason Barnard: So describe your soul to me, because then that becomes the vision of the company that passes down to the leadership. [00:00:58] Cody C. Jensen: Exactly. Yeah. So my soul, I suppose is based on ethics and white hat practices, doing things the right way from the beginning and not taking any shortcuts, knowing that failing is not failing unless you stop. These are parts of like my makeup, if you will. And that's where we took those values or innate things about me and about some of our other leadership team and created our core values.

Jensen. [00:02:17] Cody C. Jensen: Howdy! Welcome. Thank you. [00:02:19] Jason Barnard: I struggled to get the C into the melody there. So we're talking about scaling with soul, scaling your business, but I would hope also scaling in your case, your SEO services. [00:02:30] Jason Barnard: So it's scaling and business, both the company itself and the services you offer. That's going to be super interesting. And before that, as always, we look at Brand SERP. So here's your search result on Google, Cody C. Jensen. And you there with the C that disambiguate. You said there's a famous YouTuber who challenges you for the place on the Brand SERP. [00:02:51] Jason Barnard: Is that why you added the C? [00:02:53] Cody C. Jensen: It's exactly why I added th

Entrepreneurial Long Game [00:00:00] Jean-Louis Lelogeais: When you start as an entrepreneur, you're doing it all, right? So the fun part of it, the intellectual challenge, because I would tell you. Also for me, the big idea also has to be intellectually challenging. But the reality is, your day to day. It's not that you still need to prove the wires. [00:00:20] Jean-Louis Lelogeais: You need to do the admin side. You need to maintain the QuickBooks. So if you're not passionate, all that kind of, because there's no resources to get a whole team to do a bunch of things for you. So you got to be ready to get your hands dirty and do a lot of stuff that may seem beyond you, and it is not particularly the most thrilling stuff but you do it because that's part of what's required and what drives.

[00:01:19] Jason Barnard: Hi everybody and welcome to another Fastlane Founders and Legacy with me, Jason Barnard. And the quick hello and we're good to go. [00:01:27] Jason Barnard: Oh, welcome to the show. [00:01:33] Jason Barnard: Impossible to say or sing. [00:01:37] Jean-Louis Lelogeais: That was pretty close. and I'm not going to try to sing back to you, Jason even though my wife is Korean and I've spent many hours at karaoke. But, it's still hopeless. But it's very good to meet you. And how are you doing today? [00:01:57] Jason Barnard: I'm absolutely fine, Mr. Lelogeais. What I did like about that is you said that your name is impossible to sing or say, so I thought I would sing it completely wrong because that's what you're used to. That's been your life. As long as you've been in America, you're from France, but you live in America and you're an entrepreneur. [00:02:16] Jean-Louis Lelogeais: Yeah, I got to tell you that. That's one big advantage. Having a name like this in the States, I'm the only Jean-Louis Lelogeais in all of America. I can guarantee you that. And what's really nice about the professional journey is if you meet somebody 15 years ago, there's a chance they might remember that name versus Michael Johnson might not quite resonate the same way. So I must say it's been a bit of an advantage that way people typically remember. [00:02:45] Jason Barnard: And that's a really interesting point, a unique name is hugely powerful. And in SEO and Brand Optimization within Search and AI, it's incredibly important as we'll see. [00:03:00] Jason Barnard: But here, when I searched your name, this is the result. I got lots of blue links, your photos. But ther

Rand Fishkin talks with Jason Barnard about the Lost and Founder. Rand Fishkin, the Cofounder and CEO of SparkToro and Snackbar Studio, and author of "Lost and Founder, reflects on how his public association still heavily favors his past with Moz over his current ventures like SparkToro, highlighting how deeply embedded digital narratives are and how hard they are to shift. Rand shares with Jason Barnard the realities of startups, venture capital, and the misleading myths of Silicon Valley. Rand explained the harsh truth behind venture funding—most startups fail, only a tiny few succeed, and the pressure for hypergrowth damages sustainable businesses. He emphasized the need for entrepreneurs to abandon the outdated “minimum viable product” mindset and instead build “exceptional viable products”—like his approach with SparkToro and SnackBar. They wrapped up by discussing the importance of aligning your business model with the life you actually want. Jason Barnard and Rand Fishkin agreed that resisting external pressure for rapid scaling brings lower stress and greater fulfillment.

Lost and Founder [00:00:00] Rand Fishkin: The venture capital environment creates a path that is successful for extraordinarily small numbers of people and far fewer than most tech entrepreneurs and people who join tech startups and are recruited and work in that field understand and believe. And the complexities of that environment, the competing demands and the incentive structure is much more complicated than what's traditionally been presented to entrepreneurs and founders. And I am trying to open that Pandora's box and take out all the ugly secrets and show the whole ecosystem for what it is, which is not all terrible and bad. There are good parts of it, and I think some parts are worth keeping. [00:00:56] Rand Fishkin: Which is why I'm still an entrepreneur and a founder and someone who raises money. Not from venture capitalists anymore, I still believe in parts of t

Scaling Smarter [00:00:00] Jennifer Tsay: The first two years of entrepreneurship felt easy. It was just a fallacy. We didn't realize this in retrospect. We were like, oh my God, doing a startup is so easy. And nobody on our team at the time had any background in marketing, so we had to learn it from scratch. And so we had to learn to get really good at testing and really good at dropping things when they weren't working and moving on to the next thing that was working and continuing to invest in that. [00:00:26] Jason Barnard: And being honest with yourself when something that did work no longer works. [00:00:31] Jennifer Tsay: Yes. [00:00:31] Jason Barnard: And not insisting on something, which is, I think something we're all guilty of is being comfortable and thinking that has worked. Therefore, it will still, it will work again in the future. It's just a blip. [00:00:41] Jennifer Tsay: Yes. If it doesn't work within two weeks, it's dead. We're forgetting it. We will revisit things. It's the discipline of not being really fixated on things that can only be solved one way or that a reality can't shift. I think knowing that it can at any time kind of keeps you on your toes. [00:00:59] Narrator: Fastlane Founders and Legacy with Jason Barnard.

Michael Davern talks with Jason Barnard about end-to-end AI marketing enablement. Michael Davern, CEO and Co-Founder of Incept, talks with Jason Barnard about how AI becomes exponentially more valuable with training, the shift from time-based billing to outcome-focused work, and why reps—just like in marketing—are key to getting reliable results. Michael shares how Incept uses AI to speed up research, streamline client deliverables, and enable teams to focus on the 20% of work they truly excel at. He compares AI to an intern that, when trained well, becomes a high-performing digital team member capable of scaling capacity without hiring new full-time staff.

And when it has the J in the middle, it understands you to be an author. Generally speaking, that means you've written a book, but I don't see a book there. What happened? Steven Rothberg [00:01:43]:I was an editor of some publications. Perhaps it's getting it from that. I almost never used my middle name or middle initial J. J is like you s

Kevin Koym [00:00:45]: Thank you. I appreciate it. Jason Barnard [00:00:47]: Brilliant. Lovely to have you here. We're going to be talking about the Impact Through Innovation. I'm really interested in innovation, business, how it all fits together, how we can make an impact. And from a business perspective, keep your business going while you're innovating, which is something you would imagine is really simple. But I found to be very hard at Kalicube, which brings me to this, which is your Knowledge Panel. This is where we specialize in the representation of people and companies in Google and in AI. And I thought it was really interesting that you don't have a subtitle of your name, so Google can't categorize you. Jason Barnard [00:01:20]: That's the thing at the top, the little arrow. So Google doesn't know which category to put you in. And because it works on cohorts, that's a big problem. And at the bottom, I'm in France and you get this beautiful big description in France, but you don't get it in America, which is strange. It's unusual. So you want. You are looking really closely there. Kevin Koym [00:01:39]: Yeah, no, no, I'm... Jason Barnard [00:01:41]: Generally interested, I would get more information where you are located than I would where I'm located. So this doesn't make sense. And it just means that Google is unsure. And that's a really nice kind of segue into the innovation thing is Google is, let's say, the smartest machine on Earth, and yet it's unsure and confused. And from our perspective, that means that your digital footprint isn't clear. So it's not that Google's stupid, it's that things aren't clear for it. Kevin Koym [00:02:14]: I can give. I mean, one of the interesting things that not, not that we necessarily want to spend a lot of time about Google Maps, but one of the things that's happened is it took us a year to get our Google Map pin moved. So if we were to talk a little bit about why that might be, why that might be like, I almost had to take Google to court to get our map pin moved. And I do not know why there's some, you know, I'm not so sure that I'd agree with the idea that Google is the smartest machine in the w

There is something missing when I search your name. And the thing that's missing is this. It's called a Knowledge Panel. On the right hand side is Google's understanding of the facts about you. And I have to use that really weird URL to actually get that to trigger when I search your name. And that is your Google stamp of approval when somebody searches your name.
