    In this 80th episode of The Lyndsay Stafford Show, Lyndsay sits down with Josh Alltop, co-founder of The Sales League, to break down what healthy, ethical high-ticket sales really look like. Josh shares how he went from 25 years in the music industry to building scalable, values-driven sales teams for online businesses. He explains why deals usually fall apart in the diagnosis phase, not during objections—and how truly listening, asking better questions, and doing what’s best for the prospect can transform both your close rate and your reputation. They discuss why the human touch matters more than ever in an AI-driven world, how leadership and culture show up the moment you walk into a business, and why the best salespeople are willing to walk away from deals that aren’t a fit. If you want to sell high-ticket offers without the slimy tactics, this episode is for you. Key HighlightsFrom producing records to producing people: Josh’s journey into sales leadership Why most people misunderstand sales—and how to shift from commission chasing to serving What “high ticket” really means today (from $3K to $100K+ offers) The five anchor points of a strong sales diagnosis: outcome, obstacles, timing, finances, decision maker How neediness and “sales breath” derail deals—and why sticking to the process matters The hidden role of leadership and culture in sales performance Why real hospitality and human connection are the new sales advantage Where to start if you know you need to get better at sales Whether you’re leading a sales team, building a high-ticket offer, or simply wanting to show up as a better human in business, this episode will challenge how you think about sales, service, and leadership.

    From Pretty Plans to Livable Landscapes w/ Troy Outman :: Ep 79 The Lyndsay Stafford Show

    Transforming your outdoor space isn’t about copying Pinterest pictures or buying more plants—it’s about designing a landscape that actually fits your life. In this episode, Lyndsay Stafford sits down with Troy Outman, landscape architect and owner of Outman LandWorks, to unpack what truly makes an outdoor space functional, meaningful, and enduring. Troy shares how growing up on a horse ranch, being mentored by master landscapers, and even walking through burnout and a major back injury shaped his approach to design. Today, he “adopts” his clients like family and creates outdoor environments that honor their lifestyle, values, and long-term goals—not just their wish lists. Episode Highlights From ranch life to landscape architecture: How Troy’s childhood on a horse ranch and mentorship under Yoshioka and Yamasaki set the course for his career. Burnout, injury, and a pivot: The back injury that forced Troy to step away from design-build and step into landscape architecture—and how it re-centered his purpose. Why most homeowners start in the wrong place: The danger of leading with “pretty pictures” and lofty dreams instead of goals, budget, and reality. Designing for how you actually live: Why circulation, pathways, stairs, and flow matter more than the latest trendy plant or feature. The power of personal details: How favorite animals, family stories, and “what you don’t like” shape custom features like turtle fountains and bird-of-prey-inspired designs. Avoiding expensive regrets: Pools, fire pits, and features people think they want—but rarely use once they’re installed. Embracing the learning curve: The advice Troy would give his younger self about experience, ego, and trusting the process. The real reward: Why Troy measures success by his clients’ reactions and the way their new spaces bring people together. Whether you’re dreaming about a pool, a fire pit, or simply a yard you actually use, Troy explains why slowing down, asking better questions, and understanding your “why” can save you from expensive regrets and unlock a space you genuinely love.
