Meet the Man Behind So Many Breakthroughs: A Deep-Dive with NLP Co-Founder Dr. Richard Bandler
A powerful conversation with NLP Co-Founder Dr. Richard Bandler on transforming your thoughts, rewiring old patterns, and stepping into your highest potential. If you’re ready to think differently, this episode is your catalyst.
Language Patterns: How to Change Your Results
I’ve been in sales practically all of my life, but what I’m about to share isn’t just for people in “sales”—it’s for anyone who speaks, thinks, or communicates… so basically, all of us.
Language isn’t just about talking. It’s about creating. The words you use—whether you’re saying them out loud or whispering them in your own head—are shaping your results, your relationships, your confidence, and even your health.
In my latest Make Things Happen podcast episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on language patterns: what they are, how they can keep us stuck, and how they can launch us forward. But before you hit play, here’s why this is so powerful—and why it might just change the way you speak from here on out.

Sales Tips: How to Truly Understand Your Customer & Close More Deals
If you’re in sales—or just starting out—you’ve probably been taught to lead with your product, features, or expertise. But here’s the truth: sales isn’t about you, it’s about your customer.
Understanding the person in front of you—their frustrations, motivations, and what keeps them up at night—is where the magic happens. When you truly listen, ask the right questions, and respond with empathy, everything changes: your conversations feel effortless, your connections deepen, and your results skyrocket.

The Secret to Sales Success? It’s Not What You Think.
If you’ve ever dipped your toes into the world of sales — whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out — you’ve probably been told to sharpen your pitch, master your closing techniques, or memorize every last feature of your product or service. But here’s the real truth no one talks about:
Sales success doesn’t start with your script. It starts with you.
You’re in sales, no matter what you do — whether you’re a sales rep, running your own business, or just trying to get your kids to eat their veggies. Every day, someone is getting sold on a yes, a no, or a next step. At the heart of it, sales is simply about influence, connection, and moving things forward — and we’re all doing it, all the time.

Hope Is My Strategy
We’ve all heard it before: “Hope is not a strategy.”
It’s one of those phrases people throw around in boardrooms and business books, usually followed by a heavy dose of tactical advice. They’ll tell you to lean on the numbers. Stick to the blueprint. Get a guru. Buy the course. Do more, hustle harder.
And listen—I’ve done all of that. I believe in strategy. I believe in preparation and systems. I’m not knocking any of it.
But here’s what I know from personal experience:
When life gut-punches you so hard you can’t breathe…
When every door you’ve knocked on stays closed…
When the plan you carefully laid out goes up in flames…
What carries you isn’t a spreadsheet. It’s not a checklist or a CRM or some expert’s formula.
