Public speaker, author, and entrepreneur Sterling Hawkins joins us on the Influential U podcast to discuss his new book, “Hunting Discomfort,” and share how Influential U has impacted his business and life. Sterling Hawkins is a sought-after keynote speaker on growth, performance, and leadership, and he’s the CEO and Founder of the Sterling Hawkins Group. Sterling’s also the founder of the #NoMatterWhat movement, which is for leaders seeking results regardless of the circumstances. Sterling is a Fundamentals of Transaction and a Mechanics and Practice graduate here at Influential U, where he learned that maybe he didn’t know it all when it came to business, and he might need a team, or, as he calls it, a “Street Gang” in his brand new book. Each week the Influential U Podcast is streamed live on our website, Facebook, Linkedin, and Youtube. If you enjoyed this podcast, share it with others.

Tyson went from being a freelance solopreneur to now running a full-service marketing agency with a 20+ person staff by using what he referred to as Influential U’s “business cheatsheet.” His story is unique in that he’s experienced Influential U’s training and curriculum from two distinct angles; as someone who was starting a new business and as someone who was stuck. He launched a media buying and digital ad management offer while in his initial program with Influential U. Fast forward a couple of years later and he’s taking his second IU program as he becomes the COO of a well established marketing agency that was stuck generating the same amount of profit year after year and was hitting a theoretical ceiling. Fortunately, Tyson had a framework and process that he learned at Influential U that allowed him and his business to achieve goals on an accelerated timeline. Focus and self-awareness are key themes in this interview and Tyson paints a picture as to how you can leverage these to achieve your loftiest

Josh is a former professional musician who now teaches business owners, executives, and entrepreneurs how to amplify their professional influence. As you will learn within a few seconds of listening to his interview, he has a way with words. Josh’s superpower, as we like to call it, is his ability to speak, and this talent manifests in his professional roles as an ethical salesman, public speaker, emcee, entertainer, and educator. Josh is currently a senior faculty member with Influential U and a client manager for much of the United States and Europe. His journey with Influential U is a story of deliberate practice, and while the act may not be enjoyable in the moment, the compounding effect of time on task can pay off exponentially in the long run, as you’ll learn from his interview. In this episode, we’re also excited to introduce Josh as the co-host of the Influential U Podcast. He’s earned it. Listen to this week’s episode, and you’ll discover why.

In today’s episode, we’ll hear some clips from our recent mid-year conference. As we teach it, there are four vital components to consider when constructing the environments (or transactions) that do some heavy lifting for us. These elements are ideas, narratives, objects, and standards. Some transactional behavior archetypes are better suited to provide one of these elements than others. The conference included over 40 subject matter experts who addressed how they amplify their influence in transactions. Reality is, the best story wins and the role of the Performer Personality, in particular, is to provide the narrative, stories, care, and freedom required for any transaction to be successful. Today we’ll hear from some of the top Performers within our ecology, and we invite you to listen to this episode from two different angles – you either are a Performer or involved in exchanges with them. As you listen, what can you learn about yourself? What can you learn about transacting with others?
