    E795 - Dave's Audiobook Selection for November - Hug Your Haters - How to Embrace Complaints and Keep Your Customers by Jay Baer

    E795 - Dave's Audiobook Selection for November - Hug Your Haters - How to Embrace Complaints and Keep Your Customers by Jay Baer Do you have a hater?  You write your book, post your podcast, jump on social media or YouTube - share a piece of yourself with the world only to be swarmed by hate and negative comments like bugs at dusk! On the How To Podcast Series, a show where I teach and support people on their journey in starting their very own podcast (you should start a podcast as an author, you really should!)  I shared an episode that has garnered over 50,000 listens - yes, I am shocked just as much as you are - in this epiosde I share how to deal with a hater!  This episode has really struck a nerve, but in a good way!  If you would like to hear the episode simply click here! https://pod.link/1610039000/episode/094643199aa9c1d4de5fb8a3e446e07a I love this book by Jay Baer, one of my favourite authors in this space, so I thought that I would share it with you! Hug Your Haters - How to Embrace Complaints and Keep Your Customers Technology has evaporated the barriers of complaint. With smartphones and always-on Internet access, consumers complain more often and across more channels, many of them public. This requires a completely new system for instantly finding, evaluating, and addressing these complaints. Jay Baer and Edison Research conducted a landmark study of more than 2,000 consumers and found that not all complainers ("haters") are created equal. In fact, there are two vastly different categories of haters: Offstage Haters and Onstage Haters. The book includes The Hatrix, a detailed examination of the differences between these Offstage and Onstage haters. The book reveals: How, where, and why people complain (by demographic and by channel)How and when consumers expect a response when they complainThe advocacy impact of answering (or ignoring) a customerDifferences in complaint type and expectations by industrySupported by dozens of interviews with large and small companies, social networks and review websites, psychiatrists, and legal experts, Hug Your Haters gives listeners a step-by-step process to magnify the impact of happy customer interactions and to minimize the impact of haters and complainers. Customers expect more from businesses than ever before, and the importance of real-time customer service has never been greater. Hug Your Haters explains this new reality and shows listeners how to embrace complaints and turn bad news into good. https://www.amazon.com/Hug-Your-Haters-Jay-Baer-audiobook/dp/B01BVWUO4W/ref=sr_1_1?crid=GZVWZ287LPCJ&keywords=jay+baer+hug+your+haters&qid=1701971430&sprefix=jay+baer+hug+your+haters%2Caps%2C346&sr=8-1 https://www.jaybaer.com/ ___ http://livingthenextchapter.com/ Support the show ___ https://livingthenextchapter.com/ podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/ Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks! https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

    E793 - Austin Kleon's Book Series - Why These Books Matter to Authors and Creative People

    E793 - Austin Kleon's Book Series - Why These Books Matter to Authors and Creative People Austin Kleon’s four books work best when read as one creative roadmap. They move from making original work, to shaping your voice, to sharing your process, to protecting your creative life when things get messy. Steal, then make it yours Steal Like an Artist is the spark. Kleon argues that no idea arrives from nowhere, so creators should study what they love, remix it, and turn influence into something personal. The book’s appeal comes from how practical it feels. Readers often praise it for making creativity feel accessible instead of mysterious. Share the process Show Your Work! takes the next step. Kleon shifts the focus from finished product to public process, encouraging readers to share small pieces of their work, teach what they know, and build trust over time. The message is clear. People do not only connect with polished results, they connect with the story of how the work gets made. Keep the fire alive Keep Going brings the series into real life. It focuses on staying creative through distraction, pressure, and chaos. Rather than chasing inspiration, Kleon emphasizes routine, limits, and steady habits that protect the work. This is the book for people who have started, shared, and now need a way to keep showing up. (New!) Don’t Call It Art: 10 Ways to Create Like a Kid Again points readers back to play, curiosity, and freedom. It reminds creators to loosen perfectionism and return to the simple joy of making. That foundation matters because the rest of Kleon’s work builds on the idea that creativity starts with action, not permission. Why read all four Together, these books form a complete creative framework. Don’t Call It Art opens the door. Steal Like an Artist helps readers find their voice. Show Your Work! teaches them how to build an audience. Keep Going helps them sustain the practice long term. If you are recommending all four books to listeners, the strongest theme is this: creativity is a practice, not a moment. Play, borrow wisely, share generously, and keep going. That simple arc makes the set worth reading as a collection. https://austinkleon.com/ Support the show ___ https://livingthenextchapter.com/ podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/ Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks! https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

At its core, the book revolves around two words: "Let Them," which Robbins presents as a transformative tool for reclaiming control over one's life Key Concepts The central premise of "The Let Them Theory" is that by relinquishing the need to control others' perceptions, actions, and feelings, individuals can significantly enhance their own well-being and relationships.

    E791 - Living The Next Chapter Updates, A Flood of Episodes in November, A New Podcast Studio and Interviews

    Episode 791 - Living The Next Chapter Updates, A Flood of Episodes in November, A New Podcast Studio and Interviews Living the Next Chapter Returns With Daily November Episodes Dave announces a major change for Living the Next Chapter Now: the podcast will release 30 episodes in 30 days throughout November. The daily schedule keeps the show active while Dave rebuilds his studio and prepares a new wave of author interviews. He also explains why listeners may notice a different sound, since he records this message outside on his phone. Floods Changed the Studio Plans Dave’s Ontario home experienced two floods within five days near the end of August and beginning of September. Raw sewage damaged the lower level of the house, including the podcast studio where he records Living the Next Chapter and his eight other shows. The damage forced him to pause new interviews while renovations continued. He had completed episodes ready for release, so the show moved from three weekly episodes to a slower schedule while the team cleared the backlog. Now, daily November episodes and moved-up bonus episodes will keep the feed active until regular interviews resume. Do What You Can Where You Are Dave uses his current situation as a lesson for authors and creators. He records outside with his phone because that is what he has available right now. His guiding phrase is simple: do what you can, with what you have, where you are. He applies that idea directly to writing and launching a book. You do not need perfect equipment, more credentials, or a fully transformed version of yourself before you begin. Start the next chapter with the tools, time, and abilities already in front of you. New Authors and Guest Opportunities Once the studio is restored, Dave plans to return to three episodes per week and bring on upcoming authors with new books, stories, and personal journeys. He invites authors to book a pre-call through the calendar link at livingnextchapter.com. After that conversation, he schedules the interview on a separate day. Listeners do not need to be published authors to appear on the show. Dave welcomes fans who want to discuss the podcast, share what they enjoy, and join him for a conversation. Supporting an Ad-Free Show Dave explains that Living the Next Chapter remains ad-free by choice. He wants listeners to hear complete conversations without interruptions. The show still has costs, including website hosting and production expenses, so he invites optional support through the Buy Me a Coffee link on his website. Supporters can give once, several times, or monthly. Dave says he uses contributions to maintain the show, purchase books from upcoming guests, and support others where possible. He also asks listeners to leave a rating, review, comment, or voice message, and to share where they listen and which episode they enjoyed most. Progress does not require perfect conditions. Start with what you have, keep showing up, and let the next chapter begin before everything feels ready.  Support the show ___ https://livingthenextchapter.com/ podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/ Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks! https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca
