    Storytelling: Not Just An art, It's Science, with special guest Tom Jackobs

    Storytelling: Not Just An art, It's Science, with special guest Tom Jackobs

    When it comes to sharing your story, it's not just about the art. It's not just about sharing the right story. These are two important pieces. Regardless of the story you're telling you need to understand that, as a speaker, there's a science behind it, and where that story MUST land with your audience. Carls' guest today has years of experience in business and in speaking and shares his journey and how the power of story can have massive impact on your business! 

    Tom Jackobs has been an entrepreneur for 30+ years. He’s definitely had more failures than successes, but wouldn’t have it any other way. 
    He sold his fitness business which he owned for 9 years to become the Impact Pilot, helping entrepreneurs generate more income through better sales strategy and using stories to sell.
    Tom has a BFA degree in Theatre from DePaul University in Chicago, and holds his private pilot licence for single engine airplanes, which was a lifelong dream he achieved in 2013. 
    Tom has been a contributor to CBS Radio in Houston, a guest on Great Day Houston television show, Univision Television, Fox 26 News, KPRC Channel 2 and CW Houston. He is also a presenter at the Small Business Development Centre (SBDC) in Houston. 
    Tom loves to create highly impactful stories which can move the listener to take action. Primarily to buy the product or service of the speaker. Tom helps his clients craft their impactful stories so they can grow their business. 
    For Tom storytelling is as much an art as a science. Tom combines both along with drama to create a remarkable story they can share with the world.

    How To Be A Tactical Presenter with special guest Zack A. Knight

    How To Be A Tactical Presenter with special guest Zack A. Knight

    Are you telling the story that needs to be told? A lot of speakers DON'T!  When I started my speaking journey I would share how I used to stutter when I was a kid.  After two years of speech therapy I grew out of it. End of story!  Pretty bland, pretty boring. Imagine if I dover deeper and shared the WHOLE STORY!  Speeches and presentations should be about stories, as well as tactics behind your overall messaging.  My guest today does a deep dive on this, and shares his miraculous story of his journey as a veteran. 

    Zack A Knight is a business leader and operations consultant; media specialist; podcaster, and an Army veteran.
    Zack’s focus in his life and his business has always been leadership and service. He began his career as a metro-Atlanta police officer then infantry leader in the Army. Since leaving active duty, he has carried those principles into his business life where he continues to help his clients to protect and grow their businesses. Zack began building his first business while in basic training, knowing he wanted to give more. Over the last 6 years, Zack has used his expertise from his law enforcement and military experience to focus on helping entrepreneurs grow their own businesses through masterminds, coaching, consulting, and podcasting.
    In his book, The Legacy of Love, Zack tells his story that centers around trauma, healing, and learning. He uses this experience to help his readers know that they aren’t alone and can heal from their own traumas. Our traumas don’t define us, but they can hold us back. Join Zack in discovering how we can use those experiences to learn and grow and become a stronger person who can look in the mirror and confidently say “I LOVE YOU”.

Conversation with Inspiration

Carl's story is inspirational, yet he doesn't make it about him, he makes it about YOU! For his guests, he welcomes you as a friend, and wordsmiths (yeah, I turned it into a verb) you into importance and relevance. For his listeners, he brings great content in a fun, genuine, easy-to-listen-to conversation. I appreciate that even though he is an awesome public speaking coach, he welcomed me, also a public speaking coach, to his podcast and so eloquently explained that we each bring something unique to our clients. What a professional and amazing person!
