Since collaborating on a film project for the first time in 2013, Will Cuddy and Zach Feiner have spent countless hours working together on projects that have taken them all over the world. As their artistic and business partnership has grown, they’ve come to a realization - the more hours they spend together, the closer friends they become and the better work they produce.

 

Zach and Will have co-directed numerous projects developing the technical and creative tools necessary to operate in any scenario. From Peru to Haiti to Cannes and back home again, they’ve always attempted to do one thing - cultivate friendships that allow their new friends to tell stories that they wouldn’t tell to someone that they weren’t friends with. So far, it’s worked pretty well and there's no end in sight.

 

Based out of Portland, Oregon, Will Cuddy and Zach Feiner are leading players in the local indie film scene, as well as accomplished commercial artists who produce exceptional digital ads for companies of all sizes. With several awards under their belts including an entry in the 2020 Cannes Film Festival for their short film "Waiting Game," these two filmmakers -- who also happen to be great friends -- are ones to watch in the years to come.

When my kids were small, one of the favorite bedtime books in our house was Eric Carle’s “The Very Busy Spider.” If you’re not familiar with this book, it’s one that teaches children about focusing on work that matters. With delightful illustrations, the story has several different kinds of animals asking the spider who is spinning her web to do things with them. The horse asks if she wants to go for a ride, the goat asks if she wants to jump on the rocks, the dog asks if she wants to chase a cat… but her answer to all these invitations is no thanks, she is busy spinning her web.

 

In today's episode, I talk about how to be more like a spider and less like a horse, dog, or goat. It's fun, it's relevant -- and always with a simple yet powerful takeaway!

For years Derek Stone had dreams of becoming a musician. This road didn’t lead him to success, however, it led him to Nashville, TN. Struggling to live as a starving artist with a family to feed, it was then he thought “there’s got to be a better way.” He went through an early life crisis, changing careers with the help of mentors, and watching YouTube. He took his God-given talent of creativity and transferred it from being something you hear to something that you can see. As it turned out, the construction industry was his road to success, the “better way” he had longed for. In three short years, he grew a small one-man show into a company with $1.2 million in gross revenue.

He credits his success today to one decision he made as a senior in high school: forgiving his dad and taking a different path in life than his parents. He blamed his dad for every bad thing he went through as a child: from being sexually abused and going hungry, to taking cold showers because the power got cut off. He was a bitter teenager and wanted a better life, so when the opportunity presented itself, he took it and chose forgiveness. 36 years have passed since the beginning of his story and he is currently living his best life. He enjoys hunting, fishing, knife making, and hanging out with his family. He also loves empowering people to re-tool and change their lives.

Today I put a special pin on the map of my podcasting journey -- pin #300. That’s right, Today’s episode is number 300, and I am proud to say I did it! I achieved a goal that once seemed very, very far away. 

 

I have my guests to thank, I have you to thank, I am thanking myself for setting this goal and achieving it on the day I said I would, July 9th, 2020. That doesn’t always happen. There are plenty of times in my life when I didn’t hit a goal on the date I put on the calendar.

 

Today is not one of those days. 

 

Today is a day of celebration. Glad you're choosing to celebrate with me!

Times are different today with so many of us working remotely. Working with clients and building the right client systems to maximize client results and profit is tough during normal conditions. Add the layer of being at distance and the entire game changes.

 

Ever wonder what your clients are actually thinking? Why they’re not taking action or seemingly standing in the way of their own success? The truth is generating client success (and the retention, referrals & raving fans that follow) is a system that can be optimized and engineered.

 

Today's guest is Tony Banta. He is a systems engineer, innovation consultant, and host of the Client Whisperer Show. Beginning his career as a self-taught software developer, Tony quickly realized that the best code could never solve broader leadership issues within organizations. Today Tony works with other client-businesses to maximize client results, increase client retention, and streamline the client fulfillment experience. Tony’s writing has been featured in Forbes, The Huffington Post, and Recruiter Magazine to name a few. Tony and I talk about the changes to the way we're working today and the effects those changes are having on our client relationships. It's a great conversation as always!
