Are you tired of presentations that are only half relevant to your business? Many speakers are not practitioners of their material, simply teachers—not so with The Fire Time Podcast. This podcast is for the hearth industry and by the hearth industry. Host Tim Reed has over a decade of experience in the hearth industry, making conversations with guests relevant and extremely practical. In Season One, Tim speaks with twelve hearth industry leaders and provides content relevant to any position, whether on the retail or manufacturing side. Hearth companies everywhere are lost because the landscape of business has changed dramatically in the last ten years. They are trying hard, but they just don’t know what to do. The Fire Time Podcast equips hearth companies to win by sharing ideas and innovation from the best minds in our industry. This podcast will give you the tools to move the needle in your company and win in the changing landscape. This podcast is the first of its kind—specific to the business that you work in every day and simple enough to teach you what’s needed to succeed. Do not miss out on The Fire Time Podcast, available for Apple and Droid devices or at www.itsfiretime.com/podcast. The simple and repeatable steps provided will empower you to grow the bottom line of your company and inspire the team that you lead. ABOUT: Tim Reed is the Retail Sales Leader at Fireside Home Solutions in the Pacific Northwest where he helps his team members make it so stupidly easy to buy from them that there is no excuse not to. Starting as individual salesperson in an empty warehouse, he has grown Fireside’s Retail division by millions (after cutting his marketing budget by 90%). Tim has been invited all over the country to teach companies how to market effectively to their customers and sell more than ever before. His YouTube videos, sales blog, and “Fire Time Podcast” have become a resource for the industry and are actively helping thousands of people rethink their paradigms so that they can grow their businesses in the changing landscape. Tim learned “just enough to be dangerous” about sales, marketing, web development, and leadership from years of playing guitar in a failing punk band—which he swears has uniquely qualified him for his job today. Now considered one of the most innovative minds and compelling communicators in the industry, Tim uses his platform to serve others, helping them create clear messages that are wildly compelling to their audiences. Tim lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife, Jessica, two children, Olivia and Luke, and his 90 pound Golden Retriever, Walter. He still plays guitar in a failing punk band.

*Replay* Dr. JJ Peterson - Building a Storybrand
While we prepare for Season 13 of the podcast, we're taking a break from our Fire Time Magazine Rapid Reaction series to reply a conversation that Tim had with Dr. JJ Peterson from a few years ago about creating a message that inspires customers to take action.
Here are the original show notes:
Most companies think they have a message that makes sense to their customers when it's actually confusing them. The reason is because companies are too close to what they do and aren't able to back up enough to see from the perspective of their customers. In today's episode, JJ Peterson from Storybrand sits down to talk about how their 7 part framework can connect businesses with their customers like never before.
If you think your messaging may be confusing for your customers then this episode is for you:
Learn why the framework of story connects a customer to your business like nothing else (believe me, this is a game changer)
Understand why your business should never play the "Hero" in marketing (and why you should instead become the "Guide")
Listen to JJ explain the 7 part Storybrand framework from start to finish (this can make a radical difference for you right away)
Don't miss out on learning what you need to move the needle in your marketing. This framework is proven to work regardless of the size of your business and customer base. You can finally take control of your marketing and clearly explain the value that your company offers in a way that your customers understand.
