Byron Powdrell has fostered and nurtured a huge goal for a very long time. He has always wanted to have his own radio station, work with the youth and provide quality programming for the community. After 15 years and thousands invested in a top-of-the-line studio, he was finally able to make his dream a reality in the summer of 2013. No stranger to "giving back", Mr. Powdrell has served two terms as Chair with the City of Albuquerque Head Start Program and several years with City of Albuquerque's Cultural Services Urban Trust Fund Committee. Convinced he could do more, Byron developed Future Broadcasters Inc. and began the long journey to build a radio station from the ground up. 99.9 The Beat FM LP is Albuquerque's first successful non-profit, low-power radio station. It operates under Future Broadcasters Inc., a non-profit that Mr. Powdrell started to mentor children in the art of radio. This is a platform to facilitate the dreams of the youth, to offer a seamless blend of science, math and technology right here at home, all wrapped up in an entertaining, fun format. This station can offer local artists a stage to present their art, which can be near impossible for an unknown artist to do at a commercial station. Though non-profit LP stations pay much less to license and play music, limited range and advertising restrictions mean it can be extremely expensive to run a station. Currently, Byron works two jobs to cover expenses, even two jobs almost isn't enough to help this cover everything. With expenses for the station averaging $2000 a month, it is clear that this is more than a hobby ---- it's a passion.

For today's show I wanted to do something a bit different, and take you behind the scenes of a coaching strategy session with local iconic restaurant Mariscos Altamar owner Hector and his family. They have owned these two restaurants since the 1990's here in Albuquerque and Los Lunas. He asked me a ton of good questions, and we strategized steps to take during this time of crisis; also went over everything they have been doing on social media to be successful. An Amazing family and great restaurant!!! I encourage every business owner to buy lunch from them especially the street tacos in the pizza boxes. You can go on their social media and see their creative menu choices and how they are killing it online!

We discuss strengths, weaknesses, strategies, systems, and the problems we can all solve together to fulfill a shared vision of a new future for Albuquerque. One woman's desire to hear local entrepreneurs' stories and share that experience with others started as a Meetup Group launched in January 2018. Since then Kick-Ass EntrepreneursTM of Santa Fe (KAESF) has grown to 480+ members and our monthly-ish Santa Fe-based Entrepreneur Story TimeTM events are consistently attended by 25-65+ local fans of entrepreneurship and entrepreneur ecosystem partners each month. Our entrepreneur storytellers hail from across industries – from food to tech and from startups to multi-million- dollar moguls kicking ass for years. They generously share their insights and experiences so others can learn what it takes to make it in the Land of Enchantment and beyond. By leveraging the well-researched and documented power of storytelling, we're helping to establish a truly engaged entrepreneur ecosystem for our community and we'd like to see that success spread across the state, and then the nation. What makes KAESF's Entrepreneur Story Time events unique? We provide Santa Fe entrepreneurs with an opportunity to share their story with an engaged audience of local fans, curious community members and potential partners. We ask our entrepreneurs to share beyond what they do and what you can read about online. No sales pitches, just stories. We engage entrepreneurs of all ages and stages and across industries. We ask our entrepreneur storytellers to be real – to share what it's really like launching and growing a business in our community. We ask our entrepreneurs what worked for them – what resources and people helped them along the way, this way the audience can benefit from their experiences and these resources. We provide time for schmoozing a 1/2 hour before and after events, so those who come to hear stories get to mingle, meet and make friends with people with similar interests. We ask our storytellers to share what's next for their entrepreneurial endeavor, leading to announcements about job openings, business expansions and relocations and providing an opportunity for interested audience members to share helpful info. We conclude each Entrepreneur Story Time with Q&A time, giving the audience a chance to get their questions answered, share their insights, or offer more helpful info. We put on events that are always different. By orchestrating events at different local bars and restaurants each month, we're introducing our community to businesses they might not otherwise think to visit and support. We provide each event venue owner the opportunity to share their short story (up to 5 minutes), creating a community of fans more likely to come back and support these businesses again in the future. We craft creative monthly Entrepreneur Story Time announcements chock full of interesting tidbits and links to give our entrepreneurs, venues and sponsors recognition while providing them with links to share with their community of followers and fans. We post each Entrepreneur Story Time event on Meetup, Facebook, Instagram and our website https://www.entrepreneurstorytime.com/events, send out a Mailchimp newsletter to our subscribers, and post a minimum of 2 social media reminders leading up to each event. We regularly share entrepreneur-related info, events, opportunities and entrepreneur storyteller alumni wins on our Facebook Page. We have a hell of a lot of fun while building social capital. Our KAESF Entrepreneur Story Time Alumni Falling Colors (coming June 4, 2020) | B.PUBLIC (coming May 7, 2020) Simply Social Media | Parting Stone | Squash Blossom | OneForNeptune | TARTLE ITConnect | Bow Wow Haus | Verde Foods | Wander New Mexico | Xerb | HANGTIME NMCFO | Madre Foods | HoneyMoon Brewery | Dashing Delivery | Tall Foods | Flow Science Woodruff Scientific & SciVista | Fab Lab Hub | DeployHub | EMR-Bear | VIZZIA Technologies Funding would help Kick-Ass Entrepreneurs pilot Entrepreneur Story TimeTM events within other NM communities, from small, rural towns to bigger cities – surveying, testing and refining along the way to improve its ability to succeed and deliver value in communities not just across the state, but across the country. If success can be proven within NM, then packaging KAE Entrepreneur Story Time in a model similar to the Kauffman Foundation's 1 Million Cups would be the ultimate goal. For those unfamiliar with 1 Million Cups, it started in 2012 in Kansas City and is now a program of the Kauffman Foundation with weekly events organized in 40+ states, one U.S. territory and six time zones, including FatPipe ABQ any Wednesday at 9 AM. Two entrepreneurs each week are given 6 minutes to present, followed by up to 20 minutes of Q&A.

Bio: Travis Kellerman is a tech advisor, a writer, and an aspiring futurist. He see a future where the truth of our impact on each other will be revealed through data science. Human values will be redefined. Environmental, Social, and Governance variables will be incorporated as new, bottom-line metrics capable of saving our species from climate change. As an advisor to tech companies, Travis uses Pull Futurism to create the future rather than fear it. He co-builds strategy to convert a designed, preferred, humanist fiction into reality. His experience as a serial entrepreneur saw dramatic growth, challenges, funding, valuations, success, failure. As a co-founder of Lavu Inc., he led 4000% revenue growth and a global expansion into eighty countries - and survived the darkness of near-catastrophe. He went on to build data platforms, scale teams, and face new existential challenges at multiple startups in Southeast Asia. He uses those lessons and experiences to advise tech executives from the strategic level, from practical philosophy and constant iteration of mission, communications, product, and business model. His journey from politics to tech strategy is at traviskellerman.com Travis is writing a book on his journey of introspection. His Roadtrip Americana project led him through the complexity of individual American lives. Stories and hidden histories and root causes emerged. He now confronts his own stories in this book: why he tells them, how they control him, what he hides and how it hurts. In the wake of unprecedented rates of suicide among men like him, he looks at his own fear and pain to understand his own complexity and challenge the simplification of his identity. Why? Hurt people hurt people. They have shared experiences and unshared feelings. There is work to be done. He starts where he's able, with himself - by taking a long, honest look in the mirror. Updates and related articles will be made available at traviskellerman.com.

This episode with Katherine Devine MSN, CNP from Well Life ABQ. We talk about an alternative to healthcare for your family and your employees (something that may seem too good to be true) Katherine explains in detail how her clinic can offer patient-centric care that spends ample time with you and your employees and provides a new way healthcare should be with lower costs! If you are an entrepreneur or business owner please go here. Bio here: Katherine "KC" Devine Founder and C-FNP KC Devine Raver is a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience as a Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner. She was born and mostly raised in Albuquerque. She completed high school in Hawaii and earned her Bachelors of Nursing from the University of Hawaii. She commissioned into the Army after college as a Registered Nurse. She has experience in Pediatrics, Intensive Care Nursery, Oncology, Urology and Family Practice. In addition to Hawaii she has lived in South Carolina, Virginia, Texas and Washington, DC before ultimately returning home to Albuquerque. Never forgetting the foundation of diet and lifestyle, she believes that modern medicine has a lot to offer. Under her guidance, the treatment plans formulated at Well Life ABQ offer recommendations for nutrition, lifestyle, mental health, vitamins, herbs and yes, even medicine. KC is a Mother, Nurse Practitioner, Avid Reader and Popcorn Lover. She is the founder of Well Life ABQ. In addition to seeing her patients, her mission is to grow and train other Well Life ABQ providers. This way Well Life ABQ can offer great healthcare to many more people. Here is a statement of their mission and philosophy: We want to be your medical home sweet home. We offer PATIENT-CENTRIC care, by scheduling enough time to actually get to know you and listen. Instead of quickly writing a prescription or referring you to another provider, we work with you to overcome your health problems through nutrition, lifestyle, supplements and medicine. We are committed to helping you get well, stay well and live well. Our philosophy is happy patients and happy providers equals better healthcare. We offer multiple treatment options and educate on the risks and benefits. The patient ultimately decides, follows and incorporates those recommendations into their life. We believe that health insurance does not equal quality health CARE. In fact, most of the time insurance gets in the way of care. Instead we offer a cost-effective membership that revolutionizes the relationship between patient and provider. We still use your insurance for labs, tests and referrals when you tell us to. We also believe in transparent costs and no surprise bills. We have also negotiated some amazing discounts on common medications and labs.

This episode is full of gold bars to fix your business website, and also ways that you can create content to help your local SEO, marketing, and online presence. This was an amazing podcast and I loved having Marie on to talk digital marketing! Here is her bio and website. Marie Parks, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of North Star Messaging + Strategy, got her professional start in the nonprofit sector as a grant writer, where she learned about the power of persuasion. She strives to make each client feel heard and understood, and her superpower is marrying heart and logic to create powerful copy. She believes messaging has the power to drive thought leadership, and then when business owners showcase their expertise, innovation, and influence, they inspire growth in others and ourselves. Her favorite kinds of copy to write are website copy, sales emails, and sales pages, plus she writes fiction on the side! Marie earned her bachelor's degree in English from Rice University in Houston, Texas, and lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico with her husband and dogs.

The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Achieving Your Wildly Important Goals by Chris McChesney, Sean Covey, and Jim Hulling. Amazing book get it here! This is part 3 we will do several parts to this book as it's that good! Here is a summary on the book: Do you remember the last major initiative you watched die in your organization? Did it go down with a loud crash? Or was it slowly and quietly suffocated by other competing priorities? By the time it finally disappeared, it's likely no one even noticed. What happened? Often, the answer is that the "whirlwind" of urgent activity required to keep things running day-to-day devoured all the time and energy you needed to invest in executing your strategy for tomorrow. The 4 Disciplines of Execution can change that forever. The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) is a simple, repeatable, and proven formula for executing your most important strategic priorities in the midst of the whirlwind. By following the 4 Disciplines—Focus on the Wildly Important; Act on Lead Measures; Keep a Compelling Scoreboard; Create a Cadence of Accountability—leaders can produce breakthrough results, even when executing the strategy requires a significant change in behavior from their teams. 4DX is not theory. It is a proven set of practices that have been tested and refined by hundreds of organizations and thousands of teams over many years. When a company or an individual adheres to these disciplines, they achieve superb results, regardless of the goal. 4DX represents a new way to think and work that is essential to thriving in today's competitive climate.

Special Guest Riley Lowry he is a leadership coach, and here is his bio and way to connect through LinkedIn. This is second time he has been on the show and we get heavy into Self Love and what that means for your success, and how it can hurt you. We also get into how to fix ruts in your business as a leader, and if your stagnant what is the formula to pull you out of the mediocre mud. I feel some of you have excuses to stay in the mediocrity of blame. Whether is employees, investors, owners, or even vendors. It all ads up to us taking 100% ownership in our organization and sailing the ship in the direction that is true north. Riley Bio: Leadership is the ability to influence action, in order to do so a leader must be inspired. This basic principle is a primary building block in my belief as a leader and for the past 20 years I have emulated this in order to grow. I've chosen a path that requires curiosity, patience and consistency all in which are exemplified in my experience as a General Sales Manager. Being the first of the kind for a fast paced retail operation, I had to establish processes and procedures that directly impacted training for Store Managers, Sales Managers and Sales Professionals in the organization. Also, mentoring other General Sales Managers throughout the company on a day to day basis, each day presented its own unique opportunities to provide mentorship through the most challenging situations as well as celebrate each individual's peak performances. Throughout my professional experience I have been fortunate to have worked with top talent as well as industry leaders. Please connect with him here.

I got an email this week from Steve Gutzler and he had these questions in his email and I think it is a powerful team exercise to ask them and then sit back and listen. Put these questions on your whiteboard and let your team answer them. Ohh before you begin the team meeting record it on your iphone just put on the recorder app… then listen to it multiple times. Here is part of the email… I've outlined four big questions to ask yourself (and maybe your team too) when it comes to creating these experiences. Was the customer "surprised and delighted" in a good way? Was the customer happier after the experience compared to before? Did they feel special and valued? Do they want to tell others about the experience they had? Emotions drive our behaviors. Emotions are everywhere and are the biggest factor in how we make decisions around our products and services. I encourage you to gather your team members and discuss the following: What do we do to make our customers feel unique, special, and valued? How do we include our customers in our process to ensure customization and that their needs are met? How do we surprise and delight to make the experience memorable? How do we create a level of loyalty that leads to lasting love and respect? People don't remember ordinary moments. People don't get excited about what is reasonably expected. People remember moments that make them feel: Special, Wonderful, Optimistic, Enriched, Safe, Respected, Excited, Successful, Surprised, Passionate, Happy Decide, as a team, what emotions you want to design for your customers. Avoid emotions that are ordinary. Design and deliver emotions that enhance a memorable customer experience. Here's to the emotional economy of your customers! —Steve Please go to www.abqpodcast.com where you can get show notes, resources,and links to everything we talked about today to help you navigate your journey as an entrepreneur and business owner in ABQ.

Loved this Seth Godin book you can get it here, and also here is the description on book amazing! This life-changing manifesto shows how you have the potential to make a huge difference wherever you are. Few authors have had the kind of lasting impact and global reach that Seth Godin has had. In a series of now-classic books that have been translated into 36 languages and reached millions of readers around the world, he has taught generations of readers how to make remarkable products and spread powerful ideas. In Linchpin, he turns his attention to the individual, and explains how anyone can make a significant impact within their organization. There used to be two teams in every workplace: management and labor. Now there's a third team, the linchpins. These people figure out what to do when there's no rule book. They delight and challenge their customers and peers. They love their work, pour their best selves into it, and turn each day into a kind of art. Have you ever found a shortcut that others missed? Seen a new way to resolve a conflict? Made a connection with someone others couldn't reach? Even once? Then you have what it takes to become indispensable, by overcoming the resistance that holds people back. Linchpin will show you how to join the likes of... Keith Johnson, who scours flea markets across the country to fill Anthropologie stores with unique pieces. Jason Zimdars, a graphic designer who got his dream job at 37signals without a résumé. David, who works at Dean and Deluca coffee shop in New York. He sees every customer interaction as a chance to give a gift and is cherished in return. As Godin writes, "Every day I meet people who have so much to give but have been bullied enough or frightened enough to hold it back. It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must."

Special Guest this Week: American Ninja Warrior & Business Owner Garrett Takach. Guys this was an amazing interview we got deep into what it takes to be an entrepreneur the struggles and what it takes to go next level in your business. Here below is Garrett's Philosophy with his clients at the Ninja Park him and his wife owns in ABQ. He is also an author and you can get both books he has here. I have a clear vision for what I want to create in this world. I believe that everyone has a significant impact that they were created to make, but unfortunately, most don't pursue their true calling and settle for a life that falls short of fulfillment of their dreams. I work to help people grow into all they are meant to be by teaching them how to overcome obstacles both mentally and physically. I believe that the obstacles we face in our lives are meant to strengthen us so we can achieve our Next Level and fulfill all we are meant to do, but, it is our choice whether we will be strengthened or broken by the challenges we face in life. I created Ninja Park as my way of helping people live limitless lives. My goal for this company is to teach people of all levels and abilities that obstacles are meant to be overcome and that with practice, perseverance, and determination, any obstacle can be conquered. I believe that our health is the most important thing in our lives because at the end of the day, our health is what we have. The Dalai Lama said, "people sacrifice their health to obtain wealth. Then sacrifice their wealth to recuperate their health. And they are so anxious about the future that they do not enjoy the present; the result being that they do not live in the present or the future; they live as if they are going to die, and then die having never really lived." This is the reality for so many people and it is something I work to change. I help people learn the habits that will allow them to achieve the results in life that they want, such as good health, good relationships, a lasting marriage, to know freedom, fulfillment, and success in their calling, and to live a meaningful life. I mainly do this through the 7-Week Transformation Program we offer at Ninja Park. In this program I liberate people from fear and doubt that have held them back in the past, transform them into warriors who choose to be strengthened by challenges, and equip them to know true success in their calling and ultimately live a meaningful and purposeful life. My 3 main priorities for this company are to provide personal development to the team, strategize the growth and direction of the company, and to provide a world class transformation of people's minds, bodies, and lives in our 7-Week Transformation Program. When not working hard for the company, you can find me spending time with my wife Jessica and our dog Luna, skateboarding, wakeboarding, snowboarding, rock climbing, planning an adventure, or just enjoying my fish tank at home.

The Agreements Be impeccable with your word - Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. Don't take anything personally - Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering. Don't make assumptions - Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life. Always do your best - Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret. The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom is a self-help book by bestselling author Don Miguel Ruiz with Janet Mills. The book offers a code of conduct based on ancient Toltec wisdom that advocates freedom from self-limiting beliefs that may cause suffering and limitation in a person's life. First published in 1997, the book has sold over 8.2 million copies in the US [1] and has been translated into 46 languages worldwide.[2] The book was also on the New York Times bestseller list for over a decade.[1] you can buy it on Amazon here Follow me on Instagram @abqjasonrigby https://abqpodcast.com/

I love this interview we went brutally honest into addiction, recovery, and what it took for Mark to pull off the mask of hiding and move into the light of true success. Please check out his podcast "Soaring in Sobriety" here. Mark's Bio: I am a second generation real estate investor and real estate marketing expert who looks for opportunities to serve my clients at every turn. It isn't enough to be average after coming from a young life of adversity. I learned about caring for others, honesty in all I do, and bringing results to my family, friends, clients, and peers. I bring a successful track record of locating multi-family value-add properties as well as luxury and non-luxury residences too. I'm a family and dog-loving adventurer, philanthropist and someone who bucks all the trends. When others go left, I go up and take others with me!

Special Guest Writer and Author: Briawna Ember Powers talks intuition and premonitions with Jason Rigby. Beginning with the intuition of Ralph Nader and his fight to save the aviation industry from a major catastrophe by fighting, since the 70's, for stronger government regulations, his fight became his loss as his great niece was killed in the second -MAX jet crash. Expanding the links between the supernatural and reality is a journey defined on Briawna Powers blog found at IFlyAwayfromMe.com and her first supernatural memoir I Fly Away from Me. Over the course of Mrs. Powers life, she has been faced with unexplainable supernatural experiences that she researches tirelessly through behavioral psychology and quantum physics. Balancing her role as wife and mother, Mrs. Powers takes each vision, dream, premonition, and experience with grace as the world is not so open to the proven time and time again facts of what she testifies.

I want you guys to buy this book The 12 Week Year you can get it here. Here is a description of the book from there website: The 12 Week Year Is Not About Mustering More Discipline, Willpower, Organizational Skills, or A better Mindset THIS IS DIFFERENT... Developed in high-stakes environments where performance and execution are a competitive advantage, The 12 Week Year has turned traditional goal setting on its head, and simplified how ambitious people get things done. Traditional approaches to getting things done often require serious organizational skills and unsustainable amounts of discipline or willpower. If you've tried to become "more productive" or "more effective," in the past, using any of those common approaches, you've no doubt felt overwhelmed, frustrated, or disappointed at some point with your lack of sustained progress. The 12 Week Year is an execution method used in monster Organizations like: NASA, Dunkin' Brands, Coldwell Banker, JC Penny, Mass Mutual, Papa Johns Pizza, Tiffany's, New York Life, the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and many more. This new and different approach to getting things done has now become the operating method of choice for many Fortune 500 executives, elite entrepreneurs, accomplished athletes, top performers in dozens of professional fields... ...and, for ordinary, but ambitious individuals who need an effective execution method that's easy to learn, easy implement, and easy to maintain.
