Today, I will interview Multi Platinum Selling Country Music Star Jo Dee Messina and Peter Alderman author of the Rocket's Red Glare. They will discuss how they worked together on the book, their thoughts and memories of September 11th, The National Anthem's Bicentennial, and Jo Dee's thoughts about the book.

The Rocket's Red Glare: Celebrating the History of The Star-Spangled Banner is a unique combination of kid's book and coffee table book accompanied by a musical rendition of The Star Spangled Banner from chart topping artist Jo Dee Messina.

Jo Dee Messina is an award-winning, multi-platinum recording artist that has given her heart and soul to find success. She's had eight #1 singles, has been honored by The Country Music Association, The Academy of Country Music and The Grammy Awards and was the first female country artist to score three multiple-week #1 songs from the same album. But success aside, Jo Dee has faced more than her fair share of adversity. She's battled some demons along the way and experienced the twists and turns that define all of our lives. If anything these life experiences have re-invigorated her and given her a new perspective, which in turn has produced, in her words, her truest recording to date.

How To Build 'Together Trust' by 1SimplyG

Neil Haley, The Total Tutor and host of the Total Celebrity Show interviewed Brian Blair to find out about how he broke into the wrestling business, his big run, and what he is doing today.

Brian Leslie Blair (born January 12, 1957) is an American politician and retired professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation under the ring name B. Brian Blair as one half of the tag team, The Killer Bees in the 1980s.

Brian shared how he always wanted to be a wrestler: “I always wanted to be a pro wrestler. I watched wrestling on TV, and a teacher told me I can do anything I want to do. I fell in love Jack Briscoe. I would follow Gordon Solie and would go to the armory every week."

Brian discussed how he was trained to be a wrestler: “I got the opportunity to go to Sportorium. I was a pretty good amateur wrestler and got a tryout. You have to be a tough guy. The first summer, 100 people tried out. Only three remained after the tryouts. They were Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorf, Hulk Hogan, and myself.”

Brian talked about how tough it is to break into the business: “The first three days Hiro Matsuda worked me out. The first day, he exercised me so hard, I lost everything. Come back the same time the next day Hero said. I came back Wednesday. He stretched me and beat me up. The third day I rolled out the ring and I did not throw up."

Brian wanted the listeners to learn about the territories. Brian shared, "I was in the regional territories. I was a Two Time Florida Heavyweight Champion, and two-time Southern Heavyweight Champ. My first year I only had one day off. Monday, I traveled to Ft Lauderdale, Tuesday, I traveled to Tampa, Wednesday TV in Miami, Thursday to Jacksonville, Friday do a smaller town. Saturday Lakeland, or to St. Petersburg, Sunday, you had a double shot. I was wrestling ten times a week.”

Brian talked about his big run: “I worked for Vince Sr. He got me started in Japan when I was working WWF. We had a great run in WWF. Being on TV, I was on TV in 150 different countries."

Brian also talked about what he did after his run in WWF: "I was still working 8 to 10 times a year in Japan. I also own 4 Gold’s Gyms. I have traveled all over the world. I have been to 50 countries and have never stopped wrestling at all.

Simply G Media CEO GJ Reynolds shared, "Brian has done a fantastic job of being successful both in and out of the ring."

Neil Haley the Host of the Total Celebrity Show said, "I am going to wrestle Brian Blair in Tampa. We would have a great match."

Brian responded by saying, “We would have a great match."

"I think of Andre the Giant when I think of you.” Brian said.

Brian is involved in an organization that helps wrestlers. Brian said, “So many guys made a lot of money in wrestling and lost it. We have the Cauliflower Alley Club. Go to Caulifloweralleyclub.org and become one of our greatest philanthropists. We have given out $100,000.00 for example for medical bills because they did not have medical insurance. The wonderful fans can give back to us by giving $25 dollars a year."

Neil Haley, the Total Tutor host of the Simply G Radio Show, interviewed Vi 5 Star Ambassador and Millioniare GJ Reynolds, to find out how to build 'together trust'.

Reynolds is an original founding member in the company ViSalus and is now a 5 Star Ambassador, Vi Millionaire, and CEO of Simply G Media. He has written the book titled "The Playful and Powerful Warrior Within You!" and holds the distinction of completing the Dale Brown Challenge by working out for over 1000 days straight and being on the Project 10 Challenge too. He is also ranked in the top ten percent of people in social media.

GJ Reynolds explained there are five essential steps to building trust with others. GJ described the first step, “You have to be competent in what you are doing. I find and hire someone else in areas where I am unable to be great or in being the most competent. When there is competency, trust will begin to grow."

GJ talked about the second step to build trust: “As we have shared many times on our Simply G radio shows, consistency is key. Consistency is required for success in building a business, going to school, working successfully with someone else, or in having any successful relationship. When one fails to be consistent, there will eventually be struggles. The other key factor in building 'together trust', is being accountable. When your teammates say 'I can always count on you.' This is a great way to build trust in any relationship. Be competent and do what you say you are going to do. Essentially walk the walk.”

Step three in building trust: it is suggested to place others at the top of your agenda. GJ said, “Their win must bigger than my win to build the strongest trusting relationship. If my win is bigger than their win, it will lead to a shorter relationship with less trust and solidarity.”

Reynolds also talked about step four in the five-step process to building trust. GJ described this by saying. “When you give credit to others, it builds good chemistry amongst the team. Coach John Wooden was very good at giving credit to other people. I met Coach Wooden several times and he was excellent in placing the light on someone else. He was also a good friend and mentor with my coach, mentor and friend, Coach Dale Brown. Dale lives by this action as well and he is always shinning the light away from himself and onto others."

The last step GJ talked about is focusing on doing the right things when things go wrong. “Things will go wrong and things are always going to change. You have to be willing to adapt. I also suggest being clear about your mission and vision. It makes it a lot easier to achieve your goals, objectives and to move with the ups and downs. Especially when things go wrong and are a challenge. In the US Army I learned mission first. To be clear about what is the mission and be clear about how to achieve the mission. I have had to make some tough decisions and be adaptable in my twenty plus years as an entrepreneur. Change and being adaptable are essential. Being clear with your team and making sure all parties understand is also essential.”

Neil Haley, the Total Tutor host of the Simply G Radio Show, interviewed Vimillionaire GJ Reynolds to find out about the importance of capacity to grow a business.

Reynolds is an original founding member in the company ViSalus and is now a 5 Star Ambassador, Vi Millionaire, and CEO of Simply G Media. He has written a book titled "The Playful and Powerful Warrior Within You!" and holds the distinction of completing the Dale Brown Challenge by working out for over 1000 days straight. He is also ranked in the top ten percent of people in social media.

GJ mentioned eight ways to improve ones capacity to grow. The first way is to grow your capacity is with emotional capacity. GJ said, "Two things that will determine your capacity to grow, intentionality and hunger. What is your intention and how hungry are you

“What determines how good of a leader I will become? My capacity to grow will become my capacity to lead. A s we have learned over the last few years, consistency is key. The great leaders are always being consistent on a daily basis and are open to increasing their overall capacity to grow. When you are able to determine a person’s capacity in the beginning the better off that person is able to lead long term.”

The next type of capacity GJ described was mental capacity. “ One of the things we have talked about is being physically strong. When you are physically strong, you have the capacity to much more mentally strong. The more you learn and apply the knowledge learned, the more one is able to improve their capacity to grow.”

The third type capacity GJ discussed was relational capacity. “Its all about people. An open and honest relationship. Trust is the catalyst. My business is a people business and creating strong relations is critical. Relationships must be based on capacity qualification.”

The fourth type of capacity GJ discussed is physical capacity. GJ shared, "As I have shared the more physically fit I am, the more I am able to increase the capacity in my life, in all areas.”

The fifth type of capacity GJ described is leadership capacity. “When a leader fails to lead and expects others to do it. They will never have the impact they may be able to have. A leader is able to have credibility by walking their talk. Your talk talks and your walk talks, and your walk talks louder than your talk talks. Are you walking the walk? When a leader does this, they have great influence."

The sixth type of capacity is the capacity of teamwork. Neil Haley pointed out, "The definition of leadership capacity means reciprocal, purposeful learning together in community. Reciprocity is essential to solving problems and working collaboratively."

Reynolds also shared, "Leadership ability is the lid that determines a person’s level of effectiveness. Your leadership ability always determines your effectiveness and the potential impact of your organization. The capacity to grow is essential."

Equipping capacity was the seventh capacity discussed. GJ said, “It Is the catalyst for a team to be successful. Fully equipping a team or organization allows the team to be more effective. When this is completed thoroughly, an organization has more sustainability and success."

The last type of capacity discussed was creative capacity. GJ described why he enjoys growing in this, “I personally enjoy the creative process and I thrive in understanding what works with social media and business today. Business is always changing. Thinking outside the box and being creative is key in today's business climate and I enjoy elevating my capacity in this area.”
