What Are You Creating‪?‬ Cliff Ravenscraft

In this podcast episode, I interview my dear friend Jessica Rhodes about her podcast guesting service business, Interview Connections, which she started in 2013.

Over the past decade, her business has become a powerful entity that helps individuals reach their ideal clients and expand their audience.

Listen in to learn valuable tips on how to make a strong impact when given the opportunity to be a guest on other people's podcasts.

Hear are just a few of the key insights from this episode


Appearing as a guest on other podcasts has proven to be the most effective method for reaching your ideal clients and exposing your message to a large audience.
Over the past decade, I have referred numerous clients to Interview Connections and have received entirely positive feedback.
The importance of thorough preparation for podcast interviews cannot be overstated. This includes researching the host and having a clear call to action.
Having a clear call to action is important, but possessing unwavering confidence in the value of your course of action is the key to eliciting responses.
There is a need to be fully present and engaged during interviews to establish a connection with the listeners and hosts.
Using a clear, compelling "one sheet" to make it easy for hosts to say yes and ask questions that help you achieve your goals.
Audience size numbers from directories are not accurate or transparent, and the right audience is more important than a large size.
Thorough onboarding, training, and pitching over multiple months is important for services like Interview Connections to deliver top-notch results.
Authenticity and vulnerability build strong business relationships, and local employees provide personalized service better than outsourcing.
Referral partnerships can help promote services when there is trust, integrity, and a track record of success.
Ongoing coaching can help overcome mindset blocks keeping clients from achieving their goals.
Jessica Rhodes has been running her "Interview Connections" podcast guesting service for over a decade. Our conversation in this podcast episode has convinced me to be a long-term advocate for her company.

In this episode of "What Are You Creating," I had the pleasure to deep dive into the creative side of the multifaceted Pat Flynn.

Pat, an entrepreneur, author, speaker, and the brain behind "Smart Passive Income," shares how his identity has evolved over time. We talk about how his love for fishing has offered him peace away from his bustling life and business. His answer to why he's here iwas simply profound: to serve and help others.

You'll discover to top 3 things that Pat is most proud of creating and how Pat expresses the value of time over money, which he learned while building his team for SPI media. Pat's new venture into the Pokémon YouTube channel "Deep Pocket Monster" and his strategy behind it is a true testament to his creative spirit. His story of walking away from his Premium WordPress Plugins project offers valuable lessons about knowing what you want and validating your ideas. Ending on a thoughtful note, Pat revealed his desire to be an "Agent of Change in the Education Space," and how he's creating space and boundaries in his life for peace.

Tom Heffner said...
Cliff Ravenscraft and the mastermind he created were a major inflection point in my career and life. I went from feeling trapped in a day job to creating my own freedom and autonomy. I left the day job at that time to start my own business to give myself more freedom to do what I want, with whom I want, when I wanted. I've never looked back. Here's the interesting part - as much as Cliff can help you with the tactical/practical (e.g. the in's/out's of online business - he can definitely help with this) ... what really helped me was changing my mindsets and removing the limiting beliefs holding me back from achieving what I wanted.

Dan Faulknor said...
I joined the group with the plan of maybe leaving my day job in the next year or two. Within 6 months of joining (and attending meetings at 3am my time. It was worth it!) I had a plan to leave my day job within a couple of months. I did leave my day job, much sooner than expected and now 4 years later my business is thriving with 3 employees + myself. Cliff's ability to ask you questions and get you to lead YOURSELF is his greatest strength, in my mind. You have nobody to 'blame' but yourself, because you provide all the answers with Cliff's guidance. 

Kevin Davis said... 
I was at a standstill. Didn’t know what the next step was. Actually, I didn’t think I was qualified to make the next step. Didn’t have anyone in my circle at that time to help. So I took a leap and joined Cliffs mastermind. My how things changed! First was overcoming some thoughts that held me back. Then some steps and next action items to get the ball rolling. Now I’ve moved the ball down the field farther and quicker than ever imagined.

Leslie Graham said...
If you are thinking about this, be sure to reach out to Cliff. Joining NLM was the biggest leap I'd ever made in terms of investing in myself and my business, but my life was radically changed in so many ways as a result of my nearly two years with the group. In fact, my current business was launched as a result and I couldn't be happier with the trajectory of that business.

Here Is The Dan Miller Story that I referred to:
A rabbi was walking along the road after a long day in the synagogue. As he drowsily made his way home, he took a wrong turn and stumbled upon a Roman outpost. A loud voice sprang forth from the Roman centurion standing guard outside its door. With great authority, the centurion inquired, “Who are you and why are you here?”

Snapped out of his half-conscious daze, the rabbi responded, “My child, what did you just say to me?” The centurion furrowed his brow, planted his feet, and responded in an even more stern tone, “Who are you and why are you here?”

The rabbi replied with a question: “Good sir, what are they paying you to stand here?” The centurion, displaying equal levels of annoyance and intrigue, thundered back, “Four drachma per day. What is it to you?” With a smile on his face, the rabbi answered him, “I will pay you double if you would simply stand outside my tent and ask me those same two questions every morning as I depart.”
