Bella Verita, I do think that worked. It’s Dr Kirk Adams heart of influence. Here we are. I’m thankful Thursday, and I know we have some tech folks in the house. I had a few tech issues myself, but let’s see who’s here as we explore the superpower of Integris influence on this thankful Thursday. Bell reader,

Could be a proud moment, adventurous moment, shocking moment, surprising moment, but it’s a headline, sort of like bell of Rita has jumped out of a perfectly good airplane with a blind man, like something like that. So Hassan, please. What is your headline? Fun fact that would make us say, Hassan, no way.
01:55
Well, even though I’ve never played baseball as an athlete, I almost pitched my first no hitter last season.

Well, my son, he’s He’s eight years old, and he plays for the city League, so they need volunteer coaches. So, you know, as as a dad, I was available, and I said, Sure, I’ll be happy to to coach. So even though I’ve never played, I, you know, did the whole YouTube thing and figured out some of the fundamentals for this kids league. And his first year was T ball. But then this year it was coach pitch
02:35

Fun fact. I once volunteered in a leprosy colony in Ethiopia, and had an opportunity to sponsor a young man to go to boarding school. And fast forward, many years later, he won a lottery visa to come to the US, and I happened to be in Las Vegas doing a training for physical therapy, and I posted about it on Facebook, and he commented because he was living in Las Vegas, and we got to meet up in a Whole Foods parking lot and embrace in a big hug. And I met this gentleman way across the other side of the globe many years prior, and it was just an amazing opportunity, and showed me how small the world is. That

Let’s welcome to the show. Kelly Ford
08:37
Kelly, warm, welcomes, happy, thankful Thursday and please your fun fact. Kelly,
08:43
my fun fact is that I have actually stood at the podium where lawyers argue cases in front of the Supreme Court, and actually touched all nine chairs that the justice is sitting. It’s a
09:00
super cool fun fact. Kelly and what brought you to the Supreme Court, if I may ask,
09:07
kind of a I was visiting Washington, DC, and happened to walk in and they were offering kind of a session to learn about the court. So wouldn’t sat on it at the end, I asked all that area was roped off, but I asked if I could kind of touch it, because when I go visit places, I like to touch them. And the person apparently didn’t realize I couldn’t see because they said you can see more with the pictures outside. So I kind of held up my cane and said, I won’t be able to see those. And then they let me go through the ropes and wander all around the front of the Supreme Court. Wow. Pretty well,
09:43
great. It was with you, Kelly, she would have dropped into the Chief Justice seat and not left. So that is absolutely outstanding. Well, Kelly, really cool story, Bella, let’s go. I’m blind. You’ll end up in the Chief Justice seat and you can never leave. You will decide all of the laws of. The land. Are you ready?
10:00
Yes, I am so ready for that. I will take that position. But first next up from Ontario, Canada, passionate advocate and leading expert in digital accessibility and inclusion, has supported organizations such as Verizon Wireless visa and the City of Ottawa, Bell Canada and others. She’s also hosted diversity talk on LinkedIn addressing various topics, topics related to di accessibility and disability. Let’s welcome to the show Florida. Buzzy. Did
10:36
I get the French right? It’s fine.
10:39
You can say Flora Daisy. Busy,
10:44
so I definitely not. So how do you pronounce your first name? I’m so sorry.
10:48
My first name is Flora, like flower. Oh, Flora. Yes, beautiful
10:52
flora.
10:53
And my last name, thank you. My last name is Basie. It’s French, so it says Basie, but most people have a hard time with the DA so busy is just fine.
11:06
Thank you. Laura warm, welcome and please. Your Fun fact,
11:10
I will probably say that growing up, I fell in love with inclusion for digital product. Fast forward, I was made aware that I had a temporary disability, which I didn’t know really much about. So I had episode of being mute. I think they call it mute, so I talk a lot in general, but then during those times, I just couldn’t talk, so I had to rely on people to talk for me, so that was pretty hard and but that that is a fun fact. It was, you know, sometimes people don’t know they have a disability. Some people have it when they’re born, some people have it later on in life, and some people have it, but they don’t even know that they have it. So that was my case. I didn’t know how I had a disability.
12:05
Well for thank you so happy see where you’re at at this point. I think once in a while, Bella, true or false, that you wouldn’t mind if I, you know, had that affliction for a minute or two. Is that true or
12:17
no, that could be true. I might have thought about that as she was saying that I was like, hmm, wouldn’t be so bad for some people. Sometimes
12:27
seriously. Thank you. I understand the we’re of course, I’m blind myself, and we certainly like to laugh at ourselves. And, you know, take things a little bit lightly, but very clear on how profoundly disruptive the inability to speak and communicate would be so really,
12:44
I would be destroyed if I ever was mute and I couldn’t speak. I don’t know what, what would come of the world. Flora, you wish,
12:50
you wish this on me, but you’re okay with not okay with yourself. Yes. Laura, you heard it right here. Dr Kirk, heard it. Tiffany heard it. We’ve got it. Belle Rita, back to you.
12:59
Yes. And speaking of Tiffany from Dallas, Texas, a social entrepreneur, specialist in accessibility, with over 15 years in strategy, transforming organizations across various industries, listed in Dallas biz journal as 40 under 40, an executive board member of of the Year by North Texas, Disability chamber develops digital strategies and accessible tech solutions, leveraging AI to close accessibility gaps and dedicated to advocate for STEM equity and accessibility. Let’s welcome to the show. Ms, Tiffany Martin.
13:41

13:48
Welcome back to Tiffany. Much gratitude for her ecosystem merging with Dr Kirk Adams on this heart of influence for today, Tiffany, have we supported effectively in the unmuting process. And are you able to communicate? Please, Tiffany,
14:07

14:12
All right, let’s work on that.
14:14
Can you hear me? Yes, perfect. All right.
14:20
Didn’t seem No pun intended.
14:25
My fun fact,
14:26
I recently, about a month ago, month or two ago, using the Ray Ban meta Facebook classes, ordered my first drink, my first coffee, by myself, without the use of a human. So that was very interesting. And I ordered the Lena Horn.
14:45
Whoa, that is super cool. I am very, very impressed. I have many questions. I’m sure these will unfold as we go. And Tiffany, are you ready for today? Am I ready?
14:57
Let’s go. Bella, read it. We got the man. With the plan.
15:00
We got the man with the plan. And speaking of the man with the plan from Seattle, Washington, 16 years as the president of the Lighthouse for the Blind, and another six as the president of the American Foundation for the Blind, a PhD in leadership and change, the managing director for the innovative impact LLC, engaging in fun, innovative, high impact projects dedicated to making the world a more inclusive and equitable place. Let’s welcome to the show. Dr Kirk, Adams, hello,

15:47
First of all, Bella order, Sean Cowie, a pair of the new meta rape band, AI enhanced classes to see what happens. Okay, my fun fact, when I was a kid, I lived in the country. My mom gave us, my brother and I about a quarter acre to grow pumpkins. We sold them on the side of the road to raise money by Christmas gifts. We sold the largest, hugest pumpkins for $1 we were cheapest in the cheapest in the market, but he still grows pumpkins. I got a 50 pound pumpkin sitting here. And on Saturday, our grandkids are coming over, we’re going to carve him. We’re going to roast those pumpkin seeds.
16:27
Oh, roasted pumpkin seeds. Doctor Kirk, rocking the things. And Doctor Kirk, from a place of roasted pumpkin seeds to impact in the world. Shall we begin, Sir,
16:39
let’s do it.
16:40
Let’s go. And as we go, this woman introducing everyone. She was diagnosed with dyslexia as a child and as an eight year old, she began her career selling crafts on her parents front lawn. By the age of 19, she was a seven figure business generator space of network marketing. Teenager at network marketing seven figures. They don’t go together, except in the case of this woman, 2425 and 26 years old. She’s three ping like Jordan, except not in hoops, but instead in business brokerage. Then she begins to train entrepreneurs in Fortune 500 companies. In fact, in 2019 every sales team she worked with doubled their sales. She’s a seat, a skier, surfer, scuba diver, adventure in the most extreme of conditions. Maybe she learned these things from a blind man. Maybe from YouTube. Depends on her mood the day, the hour and the minutes, and how well that blind man stock is rising or falling. She’s also a two time published author and philanthropist, raising 10 million for charity in a variety of ways over the past two and a half years, with the unblinded team and in 2023 this heart centered impactful, courageous human publicly battled and defeated cancer. Let’s welcome to Tiffany and Dr Kirk’s heart of influence, the woman that put the heart in it. Hello,
18:08
everyone this fellow Rita,
18:12
your fun fact.
18:14
I think I’m gonna go with the Fun fact, since we do have some visually impaired folks here today that I have the honor and the privilege of being Sean’s guide when we go skiing, and I once got him lost in the Swiss in the Austria, Austria Alps, going down double black diamonds as a blind man while he was on coaching calls. So that’s my fun fact for today.
18:41
That is 100% true. And I was on group coaching calls, working with 15 different people as we are wandering through on audio assist devices. Yes, the Austrian Alps black diamonds and trying to find their way back to get to our vehicle so we can go to Germany for a webinar that night. Yes, it was a fascinating adventure. It was a not Bella, that was a very fascinating adventure. Oh, and people at our beautiful, spectacular, magical resort in this beautiful Austrian village, where furious that we had not gotten our stuff out of the room. It was like four o’clock the time we got there? Yes, that was another fun fact. So Bella, shall we do the things we
19:24
shall do that thing Sean callagie, let me introduce the man that Tony Robbins said. There’s no one who leads with more heart and more integrity than Sean Gallagher. He beats world champions like bet key at body surfing competitions. He’s only one of two attorneys that win two top 100 national jury verdicts between 2014 and 2016 and the only one that’s blind out of 1.2 million attorneys. In fact, the state of New Jersey actually named him one of New Jersey’s most influential attorneys. He has spoken. On stages such as Disney, T Mobile, Salesforce, Tony Robbins 18 times and when he’s not busy flying around speaking on stages, he is an incredible philanthropist that raised nearly ten million for refugees in the Ukraine. Let’s welcome my co host, Mr. Sean Gallagher, much
20:20
gratitude. Thank you. I appreciate you for sure at the highest level. Thank you Tiffany and Dr Kirk as well. And my fun fact for today, I’ve been I’ve bumped back and forth between a few different ones, but I’m gonna go with this. Tonight, we have a webinar for medical doctors, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, on the new no surprises act and medical revenue recovery. And we have 700 fine folks registered for this webinar as of right now and rising, and it was something we put together in just a month. So Bill of Rita, that is my fun fact, and it’s going to be another beautiful, long day, but we’ll be serving lots and lots of folks.
21:01
That is a super fun fact, and I am looking forward to that. I got a few people coming myself to that. Whoa,
21:08
- Frida, of course you do. Let’s go get it. Who’s going? Who is going first?
21:13
Let’s go get in. How about we kick this off, because Nancy hangs out with cool people saving lives from a hurricane. So we’ll kick it off with Nancy. Nancy,
21:23
what we’re doing here is exploring the superpower of Integris influence, not pitching, hooking, closing. Nancy. What does that look like? It looks like, how do we go from hello to yes with humans? Because everything happens after yes in our recruiting, our managing, our leading, our fundraising charitably or for profit, and, of course, marketing and selling as well. So Bella to illustrate, this will be anybody you want her to be. Could be somebody you’re managing or leading. Could be an ideal client. Could be a charitable fundraising partner, or somebody famous, like Oprah Winfrey or Warren Buffett, anyone Nancy that you’d be going from hello to yes with footnote. It does not have to be an ultimate Yes. It could just be a yes for a longer conversation. Nancy, please. Who would you like Bella to be that you’re going from hello to Yes, whoa. Could
22:19
be an ideal client, charitable fundraising, anything like that.
22:25
So I’m taking them from so yes,
22:32
it could be, it could be a set three minute meeting. Is any scenarios you want. You met an event, you set up a follow up call for three minutes. Any, anything that you you know each other at work, and there’s a quick three minute conversation because it’s an issue to resolve, and you’re going to set up a longer conversation. Just want to pre frame and set it. It could be charitable fundraising possibility. You know, any scenario where you don’t know each other, you do know each other, you get to choose,
22:56
well, I’ll, I’ll go with one that I just had today that actually just filled me up. It was a call with somebody met through LinkedIn, a meet and greet. We connected. Have no idea how you know you sometimes you just look at people’s profile, you know, cool. That sounds like a cool person, and she is, so she runs in the circles of holistic medicine, complimentary medicine, functional medicine, whatever you want to call that, yeah. Uh, her husband was, he has passed now, but he one of the people that’s a great influencer of my trademark methodology that I use in my coaching was Doctor David Hawkins, power versus four spoke, yeah, uh, dear friend of their it was dear friend of theirs. So that’s how we started. She goes, oh, I need a doctor, David. She goes, we, we had dinner. I mean, he was a dear friend. And they just, it was just the most enjoyable conversation. You were going to elaborate. Would you like this?
23:55
So Bella is going to be this person, and you’re so you’re setting it now, right, because you’re going to have a conversation about, oh, okay, yep. So you’d like her to be this person, a person
24:06
who is, yeah, functional medicine, ballistic
24:10
healing. We’re very familiar, yeah. And so this is the the three minute conversation to see where it goes next. And belly, you know, Doctor Hawkins, kinesiology. I mean, masterful, dude, you know, you know, developed systems that Dr Tennant in kinesiology and measuring, you know, all the things, right? You tracking, yes,
24:29
the ring test, yes, we’ve
24:32
done this. Take us in.
24:34
Hello. This is Bella.
24:39
So I am just so excited that we’re on this call, and I want to learn more and more about you. You’ve been a great influencer of mine, and your work has inspired me so much so that I’ve created my methodology and trademark methodology that I use, and you are a great influencer of that. Yeah, so I’d love to learn more. How did you develop? Now, I don’t know if you’re familiar with
25:07
he put out a
25:10
they are called the maps of consciousness. So okay, if you’re in a lower vibrational
25:18
Yep, motion, yeah, I’m familiar with the with the chart, yes, yes.
25:24
So the vibration, each one of those emotions, I use it a lot in my program. I’d love to hear more about how that, how that came to be, how did you discover and what you know? I’d love to learn more about it from your perspective.
25:41
Well, I wish we had all day to discuss all of the topics. But, you know, just like anything else you know, just kind of how, how Einstein, you know, came up with the light bulb, it doesn’t happen in just one, one thought, one opportunity. It’s fine tuning. And so just over time, you know, I started to notice, you know, frequency changes. And you know, I would sit and I would meditate and I would study, and then I would start to notice how different frequencies, how different energies changed, you know, frequencies and equipment. And you know, over time, developed the whole methodology.
26:21
I love it. I love it. I like to use it in helping people understand their emotions are driving their thoughts, and their thoughts are creating their perceptions in life, and they make a lot of choices from those perceptions that aren’t facts. So how would you, would you kind of, what would you think about that as being an influencer, I’d love to know your thoughts as I’m applying that in my, in my methodology of teaching people how to create a life they design. Not Want to default based on their emotions, based on their thoughts, but trying to really,
26:54
you know, be the master of their life.
26:57
Yeah, and and, and so. And what was the the beginning of the question? I’m sorry. I think I’m missing sure
27:01
it’s like so I’m using the emotional set points, those emotional to to really help people understand. Most people aren’t dialed into their emotions. They don’t really understand that their emotions are driving the ship, and they create thoughts and they create perception. So I’d love to hear how you you know this is what I’m using it for, and my coaching. You know your any any thoughts, any valuable information you could share that would really help me as I coach others, and, you know, bringing out the best in them. Yeah,
27:36
I have Nancy. First of all, I completely respect what it is you’re doing. Unfortunately, I gotta run right now. But how about we set up a longer conversation and we can go through, you know, just some different ideas I have for you. I’d love it. Awesome. Thank you. Nancy Sean, don’t think I’m confused that you didn’t come back on camera when she was talking about all the emotions and being emotional. I know I saw that. I saw you come back on and then turn back off. Nancy, did you see that
28:05
what you’re talking about? Yeah, I
28:06
don’t know what you’re talking about either. I’m not emotional. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Nancy,
28:12
amazing. Great job. Feedback coming in a moment. Hello, Rita, you’re not emotional, please. Who’s next? No,
28:20
I’m not emotional at all. I am always operating the highest vibration, and I think so so is Hassan, and so we are going to have him go up next Hassan. I am so sorry. Hassan is going to go next. Cool Hassan. Who
28:37
would you like Bella? To be sure,
28:38
I would like to meet Bella at a networking conference where we only have maybe about three minutes to chat it up. And I would look for her to be a potential sponsor for the education the educators house online conferences because she has a product or a service that could be a value to the audience that I have, but could also help enhance her business as well.
29:02
Cool, perfect. I always go to conferences with Sean’s credit card, and he loves
29:06
- Perfect. Yeah, I met the right person there. Yes, hello. This
29:10
is Bella. Hey, Bella. How are you? Bella?
29:13
Yeah, it’s great to meet you. Great to meet you at this great conference. You know, I know we don’t have too much time, but tell me a little bit about your product or service. What are you into these days?
29:24
Yeah, so we are in pardon me, did I have a specific product or does it matter? Go
29:30
with it. Okay,
29:31
we have a new glasses product that helps visually impaired people be able to see coffee menus.
29:43
That’s really interesting. On my side, I run these online conferences where we speak specifically to educators and parents of school aged children, and so I’m actually at the point of launching this out and seeking partnership. Do you think that it would be. Of any value to get these cool glasses in front of educators who may be able to bring them into their special education departments, or parents who may have children who have issues with seeing is that the type of audience that you’d be interested in connecting with? Yeah.
30:16
I mean, I think so. What kind of sponsorship Are you looking for? Like, what? What’s the what’s the cause of the sponsorship? Like, what do you want the sponsorship to do? Sure, it’s
30:25
a great question. I am actually you caught me at the right time, because we’re launching for the very first time, a ad space in our online conferences to inform our community about the types of goods and services that people like you offer. And so what that means is, because we’re launching for the first time, you could get access to a fantastic deal that we could negotiate together if you want to extend the conversation. But basically it would be product placement at ideal times where our audience reaches its maximum potential, so that they can learn more about your glasses and so that they can find out whether or not it’s a good fit for them.
31:06
Sounds interesting. I think, you know, be worth a little bit longer of a conversation and see where we can go from there. And this is the be in front of students. Did I hear that correctly?
31:15
No, we’re speaking primarily to educators, so that could be principals, teachers, school psychologists, special education specialists, and also parents of school aged children. So we’re focusing mostly on those folks,
31:27
beautiful I definitely think it is worth a conversation, and so let’s set that up. Okay, I
31:34
appreciate it. I’ll send you my contact information and we can set an explore meeting, maybe after the dust settles from this conference. Okay, sounds great. Thank
31:41
you so much. All right. Bella, nice to meet you. All right. Wonderful
31:45
work. Nancy, wonderful work. Bella, for you.
31:49
Let’s get to some feedbackers.
31:51
Let’s get to some feedbackers, otherwise known as judges. Judges. This is the time in the show that we get to give back in the form of feedback. So it’s going to be 30 seconds of feedback for Nancy or Hassan, something that they did great, something that they could do to improve, and then, like a little next step scoring system, is that next step you’d rather go to the dentist and have a root canal than have a longer conversation with Hassan or Nancy? I don’t think that’s the case. So maybe it’s a little bit longer of a conversation at this coffee shop that Tiffany went to for a little Mocha, choco latte and a little croissant a for a longer meeting. But if that’s not enough time, maybe you might want to rent a private room at the Capital Grill, having, like, you know, the appetizers and steaks and desserts and all the things, so you can have the longest meeting possible. And if that’s not enough time, you would rent a private jet, and of course, stop and pick up Dr Kirk and play anywhere in the world to have the longest meeting with Hassan or Nancy. So let’s kick this off with Kelly Ford, and how about your 30 seconds of feedback for Nancy.
33:02
I I think Nancy on the positive side, you were very engaging, I would say on the feedback or areas to think about is especially in a short period of time, this be a little bit more crisp about your ask and what you really want of the person that you’re reaching out to, so that they really can be clear about what what you want, and so they they are left with a very crisp next step of engagement, and part of that may just be the forum here, where it was a little bit hard to do, but what’s going to stick in that person’s mind about you and your ask that, you know, after they’ve talked to 20 more people, they still, when they reflect on the day, come back to you first and get you at the top of their mind.
34:01
And what would the next step be? A little cup of coffee, maybe dinner at the Capitol grill, maybe striking out some eight year olds in baseball. What would come next?
34:13
I would think that trying to for at least what I heard Nancy wanted, trying to find a way again to get a lengthy conversation, either that appetizers option, or a really good, healthy sit down would really be a good next step, because you really want to, you want to forge a longer term relationship with this person, if you can. Hmm, yeah, beautiful, thank
34:44
you, Kelly,
34:48
yeah, and so let’s go Tiffany. Tiffany, how about your 30 seconds of feedback for Nancy,
34:54
as far as feedback, just building off of Kelly, I’m very intrigued with. Love to know more. I think just the forum, as Kelly mentioned, might have, you know, switched things up a tad bit. But in reference to the topic itself, would love to learn more about it, between low and high vibrations and so forth. So I just think leaning into that at first, and then possibly talking about the methodology post meat would probably be best. So you just give them like a little appetizer, if you will, and then, you know, feed them the full entree of all of the great work that you’re doing that’s trademarked,
35:40
I’m getting hungry by the minute. Tiffany, appetizers, entrees, all of the bell. Rita, I am hungry. Let’s go.
35:48
Let’s go. Next up we got Miss Kate Carter. And how about your 30 seconds of feedback for Hassan? Oh,
35:56
Hassan. Oh, my goodness, you made that conversation one sound real and engaging. I thought, given the short period of time that you left enough interest and intrigue for Bella to contact you again. So I think you did a wonderful job.
36:14
Beautiful, Kate, what the next step be a cup of coffee or donut? Maybe a dinner, lunch, something. What do you got?
36:22
Yeah, I think if they were not meeting in, you know, going to be leaving locations like a virtual coffee, a quick check in 15 minutes, you know, not too much time sending over any materials that Bella could look at. To have her be engaged in the sponsorship opportunities would be a wonderful next step. Thank
36:40
you. Kate bill, I would like to have a virtual hot chocolate with you.
36:44
I would accept that virtual hot clip. Let’s go for Laura, how about your 30 seconds of feedback for Hassan?
36:54
Think that Hassan, you did a fantastic job. The message was quite clear at the beginning. You asked first what the person does, just to, you know, engage and open the conversation, and then you kind of explain what you do. And I like how you you were very crisp toward the end into the next step, like, let’s meet again and have a better conversation. So I like that this call to action was there and clear as well,
37:23
beautiful Laura and the next step would be,
37:28
I am thinking the same way as Kate. If the location is different, maybe a virtual call coffee or whatever will work. But if you know what, if you both have the ability to travel and meet at a different place, where maybe the air, you know, is really good, why not going in the beach or somewhere very, you know, tropical, I don’t know that might help, like a retreat, where you can talk through really what you have in place for this opportunity. And that my swing her
38:03
beautiful Laura, appreciate that for sure. Hello, Rita,
38:07
come on. That takes us to the one and only. Dr Kirk, Adams. Dr Kirk, how about your 30 seconds of feedback for Hassan? Hassan,
38:16
have you ever worked as a late night FM, radio, DJ,
38:24
I wish playing deep cuts,
38:30
I would say a little little rapport building you’re you’re on the conference, you’re probably in some crazy networking thing. But little, little little networking. I like to you. You did open you. You did ask her about her product, which is a great open ended question, giving her an opportunity to talk you. You did ask a closed ended question, what should we try to avoid? Said, Do you think it would be valuable for you to do this? You graciously said yes. She could have said no, but you had great certainty about what you’re doing, and your energetic transference was great. You live in California, yes, sir. I’m meeting you in San Diego for fish tacos. What I’m doing
39:16
the fish tacos with Dr Kirk Adams, that’s what’s in the house. And Dr Kirk, you know what time it is, I do you and Bella Rita, she’s going to put it to me. Let’s go,
39:27
yes. So. Dr Kirk, as you know and everyone, this is the time in the show that I get to put my clothes in the hot seat, in a scenario that he has no idea about, because I’ve been cooking them up as the show has been going on because Nancy and son, you guys both had to go from hello to Yes, so we’re gonna make Sean go from hello to Yes. Dr Kirk, I have three scenarios for you to choose from. You can choose one of my scenarios. You can change anything about the scenarios, or you can come up with something much, much harder on your own. Are you ready to hear what I have for today? Yeah, all right. So option number one is, I thought Sean could role play Tiffany, going from hello to yes with Steven Spielberg to produce a movie using all visually impaired humans. So that would be option number one. Option number two is, you know, sounds like Nancy has studied Mr. Hawkins, Dr Hawkins stuff quite well. I think they should produce a course together that could monetarily benefit both of them and rise their identity. So option number two is Sean would role play Nancy going from hello to yes with Dr Hawkins to cope. Produce a online course. And then option number three is, I thought Ray Ban could be a great sponsor for Hassan. So option number three is, Sean would role play Hassan going from hello to yes with Ray Ban to sponsor their
40:58
for be a sponsor for him.
41:02
Cool. Let’s have Sean be Hassan, and let’s have Kate be the program manager at meta,
41:14
who is in charge of this new meta Ray Ban
41:18
AI enhanced glasses for people who are visually impaired.
41:25
All right, which? Tiffany,
41:27
Tiffany, I’m very jealous,
41:31
and what’s the yes, I’m seeking Dr Kirk,
41:33
a sponsorship son has these online conferences for educators to help them enhance their delivery of educational services to inclusive groups of students. And your request is that the meta Ray Ban glasses program be a sponsor of his educational conference.
41:56
And what’s some just doctor please. Just a feature too about these AI re so
42:01
you’re sitting at a restaurant, Sean, you’ve got your meta glasses on, and someone says, wow, there’s a really cool mural on the wall. You point your face toward that mural, and you say, what’s that mural look like? It says there are three ships and a sunset and two ducks and blue water. Then you say, read me the menu, and it reads you the menu, and then you say, who’s at the table?
42:29
Hey, hey, Revans. What?
42:31
What does that woman look like? Bell of Rita like that.
42:35
Well, I haven’t explored that particular
42:42
having some fun. Yes,
42:43
so Tiffany is my close?
42:46
Yes, those, those feature do exist with with meta, oh, I
42:51
could ask what Bill looks like. Tiffany,
42:52
well, actually, the privacy protection won’t. But you can ask,
42:56
my privacy is protected Sean
43:01
clothing, you can ask about that, and it should
43:03
Well, if sighted people can be violating that privacy, then I think we should be able to as well. Thank you very much. So let’s go do the things for sure. And who is going to be the person from meta that I’m communicating with he and so how about It’s Miss Jones, the head of all the things that matter. Sound good. Sounds good. Okay, hi. Is Miss Jones available? Yes, this is Miss Jones. Hey, Miss Jones. It’s Hassan. We had a three minute conversation scheduled for today. Is it still a good time for you? Um,
43:42
I Yes, yes, but it’s going to be six three minutes
43:47
Absolutely. And I just want to make sure, is it okay? Time would you like to reschedule? No, it’s okay. Great. Well, thank you so much. I’m very grateful, and I know of two minutes and 50 seconds accounting. Miss Jones, super thankful for that. And I want to speak into your list. I’m here to Pitch Anything. So my quick question is, why did you even accept this conversation the first place? I am very grateful, but what was the why behind it? Please. Miss Jones,
44:09
yeah. So I have worked with a family that has a daughter that’s blind, and so when I hear somebody is interested in using our product to assist visually impaired communities, I get excited about that
44:20
awesome? Well, much gratitude, for sure. And you know, meta obviously, is like impact the world, change the world, connect the world. I’ve, you know, heard Mr. Zuckerberg speak tons of times. I’ve actually heard you speak in a variety of videos. But if we can ask really briefly, what’s the why currently behind the Ray Bans the product, I know it’s to help visually impaired people. I know it’s to close gaps, but what’s the ultimate vision of where this could potentially go for meta and for humans? Please Miss Jones,
44:50
I think that meta is looking at replacing the need to constantly have a phone your watch. They’re looking for another wearable device that allows with the same type of tech. Technology that the phone does, the the watch does, but use universal you can just put it on and beyond, beyond your day.
45:09
Awesome. Well, much gratitude for that so and Miss Jones. I mean, meta is meta. You know, getting this out to the public the world, seems like there wouldn’t be a ton of friction for you, fine folks. But what if anything is going well or challenging about that journey that I might be able to assist with?
45:29
Yeah, I think that there is a challenge with just overall adoption. Usually people are thinking about wearing glasses only when it’s sunny outside, not necessarily to interact with a computer interface. And so getting that marketing piece, that marketing message, is a little bit challenging, for sure.
45:44
Awesome. Well, thank you. So from that place, in our final minute or so, Miss Jones, can I share a couple things that may or may not resonate with you and meta, please. Thank you. So what I’m up to in the world is supporting people in education, including certainly people with visual impairment, the youth, and that is a marketplace of an incredibly growth mindset. Adoption rates are incredibly rapid, innovation, curiosity as Dr Dweck, as I’m sure you’ve know dr Dweck talks about the growth mindset versus the fixed mindset. The people that I’m able to get things in front of have this incredible ability to adopt and then create virality, the tipping point. Malcolm Gladwell talks about the greatest ability to connect and move things forward isn’t through advertising. Don’t tell Mr. Zuckerberg, I said that about Facebook, but it’s instead through human beings using and adopting things, which is actually what Facebook does, as I come to think of it, because we get adoption of humans, and they’re modeled by other humans, and that’s the proliferation we have a fun way of saying this about meta. Meta Facebook didn’t build Facebook using Facebook ads instead of use it or used organic adoption. So all I’m simply proposing Miss Jones is a 30 minute follow up conversation in which we can speak about potential sponsorship, and that words like a little bit but adoption dynamics through investment in our community and other ecosystems that I could bring meta to. I’ve done a PowerPoint. We’ve done focus groups. This is not like, hey, like, do a thing. Like, there’s real technical dynamics that I know that meta makes decisions on data, not emotions. I have data. So I’m proposing a 30 minute follow conversation of how we could be a core accelerant for adoption virality of this incredible product that meta has not only for people with visual impairment, but for all people to shift the utilization from phone to these beautiful Ray Bans. So Miss Jones, how would it resonate with you or not, to have a 30 minute database follow up conversation of where we may be able to support meta and its mission.
47:45
I am open to a 30 minute follow up call if you can provide me with the data that you’re speaking of.
47:51
Yep, sorry, focus group adoption rates. I’ll send that over to you, and then it will be okay, because I know sometimes things get lost in the cracks. So I followed up with your assistant, Tom, who set this conversation where it could set a meeting date, and if you don’t like the data, we cancel it. How does that resonate? Sounds great, awesome. Anything else I can do for you today? I know we’re time. No, I
48:12
appreciate you sticking to three minutes because they have to run
48:15
Awesome. Well, thank you so much, and we’ll follow up soon. In our meeting with Tom, I’ll send you the data, add a roll. So thank you. Kate as Miss Jones, beautiful work. Love the pacing, the speed, the energy, the precision. You seemed very meta like and how did I do as Hassan in that conversation?
48:35
I think you did wonderful as Hassan in that conversation. Hassan’s giving you heart emojis. Yeah, because it drew me in. You captured and hit on what meta is strong at. And then obviously, adoption is a big component that we are looking to fill with these glasses. So yeah, I’m looking forward to receiving this data.
48:53
Awesome. Well, thank you for that. Kate. Wonderful job today on the heart of influence with Dr Kirk Adams. This has been a beautiful, fun, magical day. And please, how was your time today on the heart of influence?
49:09
It was great. And my previous, former last name was Jones, so it was like, perfect last name for me, perfect.
49:15
I’m a mind reader too, yes.
49:19
So thank you. Appreciate that beautiful work. Hassan, great job in that participant seat. Thank you for permitting me to be you. And how was your time today? How did I do as you? And how was your time today? On the heart of influence,
49:34
yeah. Look, any if I can figure out how to clone you, man, I’ll certainly sit you in my seat from time to time, because that was, that was great. I learned a lot in terms of the way to really connect and enhance where they’re already strong. I took a ton of notes, but, you know, finding a way to be of service to them, and I think that’s the part that I miss, rather than, here’s how you could help our group. It’s like how. And we help your group, so that’s a critical shift in in perspective that I really appreciated about your share,
50:06
awesome. Well, thank you for that, and really did a great job. And thank you for everything that you’re up to in the world. Let’s go. Kelly Kelly, gratitude for your presence, for doing the things, and how was your time today on the heart of influence? Kelly,
50:26
my time was great, very educational. And I would say for both you and Bella, just the consistency and energy that you both showed is was just great to experience, and a reminder to do that in the things that I do, just that very upbeat, yet always driving forward. So I learned a lot on that.
50:51
Well, thank you, Kelly and we did a wonderful job. Rita, we got some other fun friends here today.
50:57
We do have some other fine friends here today, and let’s go to our friend that kicked us off into the participant seat, which is not always easy. Miss Nancy, how is your time with us on the heart of influence today with Doctor Kirk, Oh,
51:13
I loved it. It was a delight, and it really resonated. I love the whole messaging. I loved the connection by heart and the influence by heart. So that’s what it’s all about, and anything we do lead from that be of service, and all else will follow.
51:29
Well, 200 vibrational, energetic cut points as Dr Hawkins line, hopefully we’re pushing up into the four and five hundreds today. But you did a beautiful, beautiful job. And thank you. Thank you.
51:43
Thank you. Thank you.
51:45
Let’s go Tiffany, who introduced the whole Ray Ban glasses to the show in the first place. Thank you. And Tiffany, how was your time with us on Dr Kirk’s heart of influence
51:59
always had a great time with you guys. The energy is just and
52:03
your heart of influence and your heart of influence, thank you. Tiffany, yeah,
52:08
oh yes, that’s right. I’m so sorry. Yes, your co producer of influence,
52:13
yes, producer, I’m
52:14
gonna add that to the bio next time. But no, it was great.
52:18
Dr Kirk has has quickly become the homie. I got to meet people and Nancy as well as Kelly, awesome people. I got to hear Flora again. And then my friends, Hassan and Kate are just always awesome. I absolutely love them. And so this was amazing. And I need Facebook meta to give me something for all of this promo that I’m doing for them, but yes,
52:40
lots of promo. I agree. Go. Let’s go. Beautiful job. You know for sure, Tiffany, thank you. Oh, Frida,
52:50
let’s go. But Laura, Laura, thank you for being here. And how was your time on Dr Kirk and Tiffany’s heart of influence? Amazing.
53:00
I mean amazing whenever we have to pitch something like you said, Dr Sean, we have to get a yes, and usually we make it sound so robotic we want to sell, sell, sell instead of serve, serve, serve. So I love how at the beginning, you were respectful of the time, but you also brought it as a conversation. What is it happening in your world? And you hear the person and introduce a solution that teased them so much that they were so ready for the next step in having a longer conversation that was so much fun. Bella, gosh, your energy, if I can take a little bit of it, I just love it. And Tiffany, so happy to see you again. I mean, I just love the room. Doctor Kirk, thank you so much for having me and everyone was just so amazing. So thank you for having me here.
53:58
Beautiful job. For your energy in your heart as well. Thank you for acknowledging Bella’s energy. There is nothing like it on the planet, in my humble opinion, and our heart. Bella back to
54:10
you well. Thank you for that flora. Thank you for that Sean. And that brings us to Sean, the one, the only, Dr Kirk, Adams di,
54:20
Dr Kirk. Please your final, final, Tiffany’s heart of influence today,
54:25
well as the president of the Seattle chapter of the Tiffany Mark fan club, I want to thank her for being present today, bringing introducing me to some great people I hadn’t met before. And as always, Sean and Bella. Thank you. And unblinded for creating this space and letting me have access to it for the heart of influence. It’s my favorite hour every month. And just wonderful people gathered today. Just appreciation for everyone.
54:54
Thank you. Dr Kirk, beautiful, beautiful work. And I. As we draw to a close for today, what I’m present to is that the superpower of influence with integrity and where we point it at and what we do emotionally to get ourselves to follow through and execute is really the whole deal. So we have a few gifts related to that for you, and I’m going to do something that I not authorized to do, but I am the majority owner of the company, so I’ll do it anyway. We have an immersion coming up called go on blinded on December 12 in New Jersey. I don’t care if you’re from a different country, the West Coast, wherever you’re from, there’s nothing like it on the planet. And we also have a 700 person Christmas party and holiday party the next night, which also there’s nothing like in the planet. So on behalf of Dr Kirk Adams, I’m extending an invite to all of you to that these are, you know, tickets that people have paid a lot of money for, and they’re free tickets for you guys to come on in. And we are promoting this like crazy, selling it all over the place online. I think we’re running 60 ad videos currently. When you get 1000 people in that room in New Jersey, and we would love you to be thanks to that. To Kirk Adams and Tiffany, our guests at this immersion should have a conversation with Gina Ricci if you want to take us up on it. It is not only worth it, there’s nothing else like on the planet. Two other quick things I say all the time that the greatest salespeople in the world sell nothing. Sell nothing. I have the privilege of building an enterprise right now, valued in the multiple nine figures. I have 100 and plus person law firm, this recovery company, depending on account, I could be running as many owning as many as 14 companies, but it’s not less than eight. So we know we’re doing and we want to serve and support. So get yourself to New Jersey, because this people often try to convert more sales, but that is pals, in comparison to exponential growing sales meetings and scaling your team, that’s really how we gain the money, time of magic, freedom that people want. So on those same lines, we offer you our group influence book as a gift as well. So the group influence book that immersion is there as yours, we are very grateful. And Belle Rita, your final, final, to these fine folks. On this day,
57:17
can I get a free ticket to this event too?
57:19
I think you’re on stage at it, so I think you have a free ticket. Yes.
57:23
Oh, okay, perfect. And yes. First, want to honor Dr Kirk and Tiffany. Phenomenal job at putting extraordinary people together today, because this is really what it’s about. It’s about for you guys to meet each other. So definitely connect with one another. And I think a great place to meet in person. Would be December 12 at the unblinded gone blinded immersion, it is a fantastic place to meet extraordinary people. So definitely, since you’ve been extended those tickets, Flori said you used to live in New Jersey, great reason to come back, Flora and visit. But definitely have that business acceleration session, session, because it’ll make the connective tissue of everything and each other make sense. So thank you all for being here and Sean back to you.
58:06
Yeah, lawyers, accountants, financial service providers, entrepreneurs, corporate folk, celebrity athletes, people that work with celebrities and celebrity athletes, influencers, you know, millions of followers online will be packing December 12. There is no place like it. So that’s there. And I end every show by saying this. We know that without a vision, our people will perish. I think we’ve heard that. But without a masterful how to, our people perish anyway, because the vision dies. And even if we have a masterful how to, if it’s not masterfully executed, then the How to doesn’t matter. The Vision dies. People perish anyway, said one more time differently. It is the vision with a master how to that is masterfully executed that creates not only people surviving, but thriving in massive abundance, and so often that how to is right in front of us, fellow varietal, right in front of our eyes where my hand is right now. But at some level, unfortunately sighted or not. At some level, we are all blind
59:13
and just learning to see, bye, bye. Everyone.
59:16
Thank you. Doctor Kirk, Tiffany, everybody. Happy, thankful. Thursday. Appreciate all of you.
59:20
Thank you so much.
59:25
This was great. Thanks everybody. Bye.
