#179 - Casey Carroll gets REAL about running Effective Social Ads

While other advertisers focus on cost per lead, Casey Carroll focuses on something totally different: cost per acquisition. No, here's his bold claim: If you're a Chiropractor, Dentist, or Auto Dealer, he will help you grow your business, or he will gladly refund your money (he has never had to do this before, so he is confident in this bold promise).

While other advertisers focus on cost per lead, Casey Carroll focuses on something totally different: cost per acquisition. No, here's his bold claim: If you're a Chiropractor, Dentist, or Auto Dealer, he will help you grow your business, or he will gladly refund your money (he has never had to do this before, so he is confident in this bold promise). When it comes to business growth, Casey takes a holistic look at a potential client to evaluate the "blind spots" that are impacting profit - wasteful ad-spend, inefficient follow-up and systems, and inefficient sales process are the three biggest enemies of growth, and they either are costing you money or opportunities. Casey has a system and method to eliminate each of these profit-sucking problems, and it is Casey's job to ensure that you make more money for every dollar you spend with him than any other agency out there.

 In this episode of the Be Real Show, Casey and Travis open up the show discussing Casey's sales background and how it made him a natural fit to be an excellent advertiser. You can put businesses in different buckets: firms that have a traffic problem and firms that have a conversion problem. Most smaller companies are not suited to start running advertising because the sales process sucks. At the end of the day, cost per acquisition is the only thing that matters. Measuring ads based on cost per acquisition can be the single metric you need to look at from now on. Instagram ads work; Casey has bought rings, shoes, and toys off of Instagram ads. Plus, Casey explains why you should not treat Instagram and Facebook as the same ad platform; they are entirely different. Then, Casey reveals the ways big data can determine things about us that we don't even know yet. Stay tuned to hear Casey answer the top ten questions, including the reason he stopped playing video games.

#177 - Colin Hogan gets Real about Video Marketing for your Business

After graduating from the University of Maryland in 2008, Colin moved from the east coast to Chicago. He was initially called there by the sirens of opportunity in the business and comedy world. After successfully navigating his way through management roles in the corporate sector (banks, tech startups, etc.)

After graduating from the University of Maryland in 2008, Colin moved from the east coast to Chicago. He was initially called there by the sirens of opportunity in the business and comedy world. After successfully navigating his way through management roles in the corporate sector (banks, tech startups, etc.) and semi-successfully trudging through the comedy industry, he stumbled upon Demo Duck in 2014. Making the career move to the video production world, his lifelong passion, was exciting and daunting. Finding his footing relatively quickly, he was soon leading projects with international brands located all over the world. In 2017, Colin was handed the reins of the company when he was promoted to Managing Director – talk about imposter syndrome. He is one of those lucky people who absolutely loves what he does and is honored to work with super-smart people at Demo Duck.                                                                                      

In this episode of the Be Real Show, Colin and Travis open up the show discussing Demo Duck and how they help customers. They do a lot of videos in the tech space and healthcare space. The educational component is a big draw for customers; Demo Duck dives deep into the business to write scripts and put together cohesive storyboards. The easiest way to start a video is by making thought leadership videos. People in the audience won’t knock it for being low-quality as long as it’s a valuable opinion. Plus, it will help humanize your company and build a brand. Once you have some more money in the bank, your business should make a video for your home page. Stay tuned to hear Colin answer the top ten questions, including why growing fast isn’t for everyone.

#176 - Josh Kelly gets REAL about getting more Positive Reviews

Josh Kelly is the CEO of RevuKangaroo. Unlike other review sites, RevuKangaroo has created a custom API that allows you to install our system directly on your website. The look and feel are consistent with your current website design. Your customers would never know it is a RevuKangaroo product; instead, they will only see you and your employees.

Josh Kelly is the CEO of RevuKangaroo. Unlike other review sites, RevuKangaroo has created a custom API that allows you to install our system directly on your website. The look and feel are consistent with your current website design. Your customers would never know it is a RevuKangaroo product; instead, they will only see you and your employees. RevuKangaroo has a unique system that collects reviews on your employees' service rather than customers rating your business directly. This typically leads to a more significant increase in reviews written, and they tend to be more positive.

In this episode of the Be Real Show, Josh and Travis open up the show discussing how he became an entrepreneur. Parker and Sons is a family business, Josh worked on their marketing and blew up the company. His goal was never to become an entrepreneur; he found a need and decided to create a business out of it. The name RevuKangaroo just fell into their laps because it was so difficult to find a URL with "review" at a reasonable price. The reason you need RevuKangaroo is because everyone who is searching for your business will be making decisions based on reviews online. If you have too many negative reviews online, Josh says you shouldn't even bother having a website. RevuKangaroo uses lots of different methods to get their name out in the world; there is not one silver bullet to build a business. Then, Josh explains the three ways to make money: raise prices, get customers to spend more frequently, or get new customers. Stay tuned to hear Josh answer the top ten questions, including why he doesn't waste time with social media.

Born in Communist Poland.... Tom and his family escaped to the US when he was 11 in the early 90's. Tom ran a record store with two older friends. Became a DJ and played at colleges, bars, radio stations, clubs and raves. Three degrees. Two associates and one bachelor.

Born in Communist Poland…. Tom and his family escaped to the US when he was 11 in the early 90’s. Tom ran a record store with two older friends. Became a DJ and played at colleges, bars, radio stations, clubs and raves. Three degrees. Two associates and one bachelor. Marketing – Business to business & Sound engineer. Straight out of college I moved to New York and got an internship at Unique Recording Studios. Eventually he moved on to Assistant Engineer and then Engineer before all the studios started shutting down. Had 3 hits in the top 10 on the local polish radio… one was #1 for almost a year. After working in sales for all of these corporations I realized that they were the ones making residual income from my hard work and I always started from zero each month.

Used his SEO skills to talk to local business and landed my initial clients. Before he knew he had an agency with workers and made more than he ever did in his corporate jobs. One of the blog networks that he used for SEO became too popular and Google shut it down.

That left him with 1,500+ blog posts and a team of writers with nothing to do. He told them to start writing books and left them alone. That became profitable and he went on to write 5,000+ books and making $250,000+ Lesson learned for his SEO biz… do not use private blog networks! He created better systems and tighter constraints for what he would pursue but it turned out ok.

He later got a team together and made a documentary about the realities of building/running businesses when on the road.

Over the last few years he got into podcasting. One of his SEO clients is a Muay Thai Champion and he went on to create an online course and market it. He took his new marketing skills to help others build online courses and market them.

Born in Cincinnati, he started trading his own account when he was 15 years old. Since then he's traded commodities in New York City; designed an investment method that protects and grows money more efficiently than Wall Street; and has interviewed hundreds of traders, investors and millionaires on four continents for one purpose - to find out what works.

Dr. Stanley G. grew up in a project building on the south side of Chicago where he spent many days playing chess, pitching pennies and dodging street gangs. His original career goal was to become a graphic artist but he pleaded temporary insanity and joined the Marine Corps instead. He considered that when plan A fails, you’ve still got 25 letters left in the alphabet; so he traded in the life of a devil dog for the life of a suit. Somewhere through the middle of the alphabet, he trained as a lawyer, then as a doctor of accounting. As one might reasonably conclude from all this alphabet soup, he finally ended up as an author.

#159 - Kala Philo gets real about Mirroring your Brilliance on Video

In 2015, Kala turned her life upside down and shook it out. She left the nest really empty after ending a long term marriage. She sold or donated anything that wouldn't fit into her trusty Honda CRV with 95,000 miles on the odometer, and traveled solo for 18 months throughout the US, Latin America, Iceland, and the UK.

In 2015, Kala turned her life upside down and shook it out. She left the nest really empty after ending a long term marriage. She sold or donated anything that wouldn't fit into her trusty Honda CRV with 95,000 miles on the odometer, and traveled solo for 18 months throughout the US, Latin America, Iceland, and the UK. She read the blogs of other people who were making a living working on the internet - so called "digital nomads". Kala eventually moved to Mexico City and became a full-time digital nomad. She runs an online business that teaches female entrepreneurs how to transform their business and max out their brand equity with video.
