He is the foremost expert on how to get ready for any kind of downturn, because downturns are always guaranteed. It's never "if," it's "when." And it makes more sense to be prepared to thrive in a downturn than it does to struggle. You're going to love Jonathan's story of why he's so passionate about teaching people not just how to make it through, but to take advantage of all the opportunities that present themselves during a recession while other people are going backwards. He talks brilliantly about why marketing is so much more effective during a recession and that you should be doubling down because you will be able to stand out.

Guest Bio: Jonathan Slain and Paul Belair founded Recession.com to give entrepreneurs a free tool to assess their recession readiness at Recession.com/Ready.

Jonathan paid his mother-in-law back and is now a highly sought-after consultant (and, yes, he's still married!). Jonathan leverages his experience in investment banking and as an entrepreneur on the keynote speaking circuit because he doesn't want anyone else to have to borrow money from their mother-in-law in the next recession. Paul Belair wasn't scared when the Great Recession hit. He invested $1 million to purchase a business and just five years later sold it for over $70 million dollars. He achieved an American dream exit by using the Recession Gearbox model outlined in this book to create an intentional recession preparation plan. Paul is a CPA and an MBA, and currently serves as chair of the Young Presidents' Organization Construction Industry Network.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: -Having a generous upbringing -Parenting as an entrepreneur -Attracting better talent through generosity -Inspiring others to do better -The importance of video marketing -Meeting people where they are Resources: -Learn more at iheartdogs.com -Marshall's Instagram: instagram.com/marshallmorris -I Heart Dogs Instagram:instagram.com/iheartdogscom Show Notes: Marshall Morris is the founder of several businesses, but is probably best known for I Heart Dogs. They do giving back better than anyone else I know. We talk about where this generosity came from, why he's so good at helping others monetize themselves, and all the coming trends in 2020 if you're planning on selling anything.

Guest Bio: As the son of a hard-working, humble pastor, Marshall was taught early on the value of a hard day's work. In fact, at a young age, his father would "loan" him out for the weekend to different farmers he did business with to help out (for very little pay). This weekend help wasn't about making money, however, his father really just wanted to instill in him the value of working hard. And it's with this same mentality that his dad encouraged Marshall to attend college, but also informed him that it would be his responsibility to pay his own way – as that's the way he did it. Growing up in an impoverished family, his dad worked hard to pay for his college while attending so he'd never have to take out a loan. Not deterred by this, Marshall joined the military so his schooling could be paid for as he went. He never thought he would be deployed, but then 9/11 happened. Obviously, while deployed Marshall couldn't attend college so instead he read a lot of books (12 hours a night for a year) so he could continue at least some type of education. Among those books, he found that those focused on business resonated with him the most, and upon returning from his deployment he took it from there. Admittedly having more of a sales mindset from the beginning, he dabbled in real estate but gradually got out of it when the market took a turn. After returning from being deployed, Marshall was presented with the opportunity to help a friend of a friend with advertising sales on an automotive site that was struggling. Knowing very little about the internet, but feeling that this business could go somewhere, he offered to partner with this person. Their goal was to just make some money, make it a success and figure out the sales and marketing along the way with "Google university." Eventually the company started doing well, and they sold it to a bigger automotive company. It was through networking that he met his now business partner, Justin, who was in internet marketing. Having only a Facebook page, he enlisted the help of Marshall. Both found that their strengths and weaknesses balanced each other and they created the business I Heart Dogs. And the rest is history with other businesses such as I Heart Cats, I Heart Birds (and many more). Marshall and business partner, Justin, excel at building business models and then using those models anywhere. For them and their current niche, they've found that the more they do, the more they find opportunity (and who wouldn't want that?).

Tata's knowledge of content and delivery has been critical in the launch of major brands and professional services alike. As Tata built her own business, she kept running into a problem: In order to progress and expand, she needed to invest in professional services like graphic design, photography, and web development. But as a small business owner, she didn't always have the cash in her bank account to pay for these types of services. It was a catch-22: In order to be more profitable, she needed to up her game … but in order to up her game, she had to spend more money. When Tata looked around, she saw many of her creative and entrepreneurial friends running up against the same problem—and often, they needed her help with social media. Naturally, they started to swap services. And something amazing happened—everyone grew their businesses, together. A master connector, Tata created Barter & Be to help other women expand their networks of creative female entrepreneurs, and to facilitate the growth of their businesses without the hefty price tag.
