Chats with Dad Phil Berg & James Berg
-
- Economia
Like many people, James Berg regularly has chats about business and gets advice from his Dad. The difference for James is that his Dad, Phil Berg, is a sought-after speaker and trainer who went from selling carpets on a market stall to presenting, helping and influencing thousands of businesses all over the world. Known for his heartfelt, inspiring and common-sense approach, Phil is one of those rare people who can take an audience on a journey of feel-good emotions; reinforcing belief in themselves and leaving them feeling inspired to pursue their life and business goals. Outside of his speaking engagements, people don't often get the chance to hear Phil's brilliant advice, so James decided to start this podcast to share the business chats him and his Dad have with all of you.

Chats with Dr. Ivan Misner
This episode of Chats with Dad is a very special one. Not just because it’s the last episode of season 2, but also because we have our very first guest, the Founder of BNI, Dr. Ivan Misner.
Ivan has been called the “father of modern networking” by Forbes and CNN and he is the author of 26 books. He’s also a good friend of Phil’s (they’re working on a book together as we speak). On this episode, Phil and James ask Ivan to share how he’s overcome mistakes and mishaps during his long and illustrious career. In particular, he shares one story that he’s rarely spoken about in such depth: how he took one of the biggest mistakes in his professional life, and turned it into a triumphant moment of learning, growth, and redemption.

Hiring and firing staff
Hiring and firing staff is one of the most daunting things a business owner has to deal with. How do you know when you’ve found the right person? How can you interview someone in a way that actually challenges them? And when is the right time to part ways with an employee who just isn’t living up to your standards?
