As I look back and reflect on my 2021 goals like many of us are right now, I fell short of many of my goals. One of my goals for the Mentor Me Podcast was to record and publish 40 podcasts in 2021. I only did 20. And I started to ask myself why I only did half the amount of podcasts I wanted and the answer I kept coming to was that I only put in enough action to get to 20 podcasts. I only put enough work in to do 20 podcasts. Now, I thought about doing podcasts or ideas about the podcast all the time, but a lot of those times thats where it stopped. It stopped at the idea and never made it to the action step.  I hope you enjoy this episode, the first solo podcast! 

Welcome back to another episode of the Mentor Me podcast! I'm very excited to share this episode with you. The guest on today's podcast is Jesse Cole, president of Fans First Entertainment. Jesse is also the author of "Find Your Yellow Tux", which I just finished reading and is an incredible book. Jesse owns two baseball teams under Fans First Entertainment, one of them being the Savannah Banana's. You may not recognize the Savannah Banana's name, but you've definitely seen them on Sportscenter Top 10 before. Baseball team is not even the right way to describe what Jesse owns.... baseball circus might be better! They've created a whole new kind of baseball entertainment, with sold out shows and fans laughing so hard they can't wait for the next game.  In this episode Jesse & I talk a lot about the importance of being "Fans First" and being unique in business. The biggest takeaway I had from this podcast was when Jesse talked about the importance of entertaining, because then you never have to sell. If you entertain with your business, people will want to buy from you! They will find you!  Let me know your favorite part of the podcast, enjoy!

On this episode of the Mentor Me podcast, I pulled up a previous clip of Coach Doug Novak speaking about how he discovered his path to coaching.   Many of us are not in our ideal job, career, or spot in life we'd like to be. Coach Novak talks a bit about how he discovered his passion for coaching which was birthed out of playing & being around the game of tennis. I hope you enjoy the first Mentor Me Monday!   Mentor Me Podcast Channel 🔗: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSMBwV5M31hQWgANDFrm-qA Our Socials, Let's Connect!   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mentormepod/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MentorMePod  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-hall-42a87082/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSMBwV5M31hQWgANDFrm-qA

When I told my brother I'd be interviewing Anthony Iannarino on the Mentor Me Podcast, he told me "Oh really?! He is a sales legend!" When my brother told me that, I knew this was going to be a great conversation. Anthony Iannarino is an international speaker, best-selling author and leader in the sales industry. Many people in the sales industry look to Anthony for tips to improve their sales skills. Often times, sales people get a bad reputation. You've heard of the saying "snake oil salesman". The sales person who is trying to make the sale regardless of whether it is good or bad for the buyer. This is NOT what Anthony Iannarino teaches to the sales industry. It's actually the exact opposite. Anthony will tell you the key to becoming the best sales person you can be, you have to understand your customers business better than they do. You also have to bring value to your customer which means you have to understand what the value to your customer is. Hope you enjoy this episode with Anthony Iannarino!
