The Story Engine Podcast Kyle Gray

Today on the show I have Ron Nussbaum. Ron is the founder of BuilderComs which is a communication platform that is set to disrupt one of the biggest industries in the United States - the construction industry. We will talk about in this episode some of the biggest problems with communication. Sometimes up to a third of the money and time invested in a construction project can be wasted due to poor communication. 
This is a massive problem and a massive opportunity and we are going to talk about Ron’s personal philosophy that has led him to this moment, how he sees himself in this big opportunity, and what purpose he serves moving forward. This is a great episode to explore what high-level leadership looks like and what is necessary to make big changes in the world. 
In This Episode: It is not just the long-term vision. It is also the short term and what can happen. You just got to make it happen 90 days at a time. 
You always have to be willing to change your perspective. Every time we summit something there is typically another mountain. 
Too many people have that one defining moment and they rest their heads on that for the rest of their lives. If you are capable of one defining moment you are capable of a thousand. We need to continue to chase those and not just be fine with that one defining moment.

Today on the show I have Jeff Schiefelbein. Jeff is a successful serial entrepreneur who has been running many different businesses and ventures for twenty years. Today we are going to dive into his story of how an unexpected dark moment became one of the most important in his life. This was when he was pulled over for a DUI. 
We are going to talk about that turning point in his life and we are going to talk about a lot of the ways that many entrepreneurs and visionaries are drunk driving in their businesses right now, not necessarily literally drunk driving but are going through the same process that is equally as dangerous at the helm of their businesses. There is a ton of great information that Jeff is going to share whether you are just starting out as an entrepreneur or have been at this for many years. 
In This Episode: People have become victims of their surroundings.  
People are all driven by the same fundamentals of human nature and when they feel respected, seen, and heard you get a lot of really great things done together.
Recognize the blessing of life. Every single part of my life is a blessing and yours and you can completely change and see the world in a brighter light, more abundance, and less fear because you get to, you don’t have to.

Today on the show coming up I have a really exciting offer to share with you. Since this is The Story Engine, I want to share a story about one of my origins as an entrepreneur nearly ten years ago, my first opportunity to engage with entrepreneurship, The Foundry.  In this episode, I share the key components and the huge impact a mastermind can make in your life and your business. 
In This Episode: The measure of your integrity is your ability to do what you say you will do. 
Learning from peers is faster than learning from gurus. 
There is a certain magic to learning and growing alongside others.

Today on the show I have Mike Koenigs. Mike is a long-time veteran in the entrepreneurship space, author of many books, and on a first-name basis with almost any heavy hitter well-known entrepreneur, or personality that you can think of. 
Today on the show we are going to start with Mike’s story which really leads into a bigger philosophical discussion around leadership. Then we will transition into the art of the referral party which has been one of my favorite tools to develop new connections and build new relationships that I have been using in the last year that has absolutely transformed my business and Mike is the mastermind behind it all. It is a huge honor to have him on the podcast. 
In This Episode: Great marketing is just great storytelling where we are triggering feelings, words, and meaningful things that we have shared amongst us. 
The best thing you can do is start building a network and find effective ways to connect people expecting nothing. 
If you want to really accelerate your super powers right now, spending a little time with AI is going to make you even more effective at everything you do.

I have something a little bit different for you today.  A few weeks back I was featured on the She’s Busy AF Podcast hosted by Lauren Loreto and it was an incredible experience. First of all, it was a huge honor to be the first male guest on a podcast for women business leaders by women business leaders.  
It was an honor to be able to help with some of the key points that all entrepreneurs face in communicating their value and attracting their clients. This was an action packed episode so I wanted to share this interview with my listeners so you can get a little bit of a taste of what it is like when I am being interviewed. 
In This Episode: One of the biggest differences and shifts you can make is moving from a passive voice to an active voice. 
Changing your story and clarifying your story as a leader changes who you are, and how you show up in this world and creates a bigger context for the things that you want to do.
Being able to have a vision that lines up your team that you can communicate with your team is so essential.
