HOT TOPICS OF THE EPISODE

[01:56] – Monique introduces her guest, John Marrone.

[02:34] – Tell everyone a little bit about you.

I’m a transformational coach as well as a transformational speaker.
I give actionable tools to start creating the ultimate version of that person so they could design a life they always wanted to live.

[05:15] – Tell me what is your version of the motivation turning that into inspiration and then into transformation with your clients.

It starts with the reason.
Motivation is temporary, inspiration lasts a little bit longer, but your “WHY” is the whole thing that keeps you going.

[09:26] – When was the first time in your life that kind of like your alarm went off and did you listen to it?

Choose where you’re at now as the bottom and never going any further and use that as your platform to go ahead and expedite everything you’re doing to get the results you want.

[20:26] – Why do you think you got addicted? Why do you think you got to the point to jail? Why do you think you ended up in that house with Hurricane Sandy when everybody else may be left? Why do you think you ended up there?

I try to fit in everywhere because I think I was trying to be accepted. And so that became an addiction to become accepted.
And going back to Hurricane Sandy, the label was like, I’m invincible.

[25:25] – Why did ending up in jail not change anything for you but the hurricane did?

I just spent six months on house arrest like nothing’s changed. And then I met my wife.
When Hurricane Sandy came, and I thought I was gonna die. I realized it could be gone like that.
I realized life is so precious.

[35:50] – So how does this control part show up for you?

Either you want to control or you want fulfillment. You can’t have both.

[44:15] – If you have someone who’s struggling with knowing who they are and trying to fit in, how would you tell them how to take off their masks without worrying that they’re not accepted or they don’t belong?

The first step is you got to know who you are.
You can’t be everything to everyone.
Care about what the right people think.
The hardest thing to do is to be authentically you.

[51:35] – Besides all of the titles, in one sentence, who is John Marrone?

Somebody who realizes that his past doesn’t determine his future, somebody who wants to create the ultimate version of himself and his life he always wants to live while doing it to the masses and helping others.

[58:30] – What does efficiency mean to you?

Efficiency means to me daily progression.

[59:51] – If you had to start all over again, which of the three things would you keep doing to get where you are today?

Number one is perspective.
Number two is massive self-awareness.
And three, be grateful for where you’re at and then get comfortable being uncomfortable.



HOT TOPICS OF THE EPISODE

[02:08] – Monique introduces her guest, Dane Knighton.

[02:22] – Tell everyone who are you? What are you doing and why you’re doing it?

I guess I self identify more as a copywriter as a skill. I prefer to do strategic partnerships because it’s beneficial for both parties.

[03:09] – So how did you get into copywriting?

I was doing loads of content for fitness YouTube videos.
I couldn’t sell at all. So that’s how I started to learn how to write copy

[05:10] – So first of all, what does that have to do with your acne picture on the website?

I guess the acne pitch has more to do with the fitness content.

[05:41] – After you started learning how to write copy, did you ever get to the point where you had to think about whether you’re persuading someone or you’re manipulating someone?

It goes back to the principle of selling them what they want, give them what they need.

[06:54] – So as a woman, how do I sell them fake tits and If I don’t have them, what do I give them then?

It depends on what kind of sexuality.

[07:56] – Do you make a difference between persuasion and manipulation? And if so when do you use which? And if you don’t make it, why not?

[12:58] – So how did you find what’s important for you and how did you get to the point to actually follow that?

My purpose is just giving back.

[15:49] – So when you first started learning copywriting and diving into it, where did you start?

Always start with principles.
Reverse engineer.

[19:40] – How do I know I’m on the right track?

The first stage is awareness
It’s good to learn from your mistakes, but it’s even better to learn from other people’s mistakes.
Get the right mentor.

[41:45] – What is your favorite type of copy to write?

I’d say long-form.

[46:59] – So how do you create this bond?

The way you create a bond is through content and it’s a free story.

[48:08] – What is the number one favorite story that you will always remember that wasn’t yours?

Think and Grow Rich book.

[52:58] – What does efficiency actually means to you?

Get better quality done in less time.

[54:51] – Is there anything that you do for yourself to help you stay productive while you’re writing?

This is a quote that relates well to that question “The may consciousness of engagement, or sometimes worry a whole day.”

[57:52] – Tell me three things that looking back at your career, you would consistently repeat again because these were the most important thing for you to get where you are today.

Effort
Principles
Action

[02:30] – Tell everyone a little bit about you.

I’m currently living in London, Australian born.
Over the last couple of years have been building my own business here in London.
What I’m passionate about doing is helping empower organizations and Millennials.

Baby Boomers: Born 1946-1964 (54-72 years old)

[09:28] – What do you think are the characteristics that make millennials so different from the generations before?

We’re growing up in a world where we’re influenced by technology.
We are shaped by instant gratification in terms of meeting everything done now.

I think Millennials are definitely much more attracted to working for organizations that are making a difference already.

I became really rundown, constant sickness, I had no social life.

[38:30] – What did you do to admit and acknowledge this mindset shift out of like “I literally have to stop being on this GO GO GO mentality”?

I guess from a step by step point of view:
What is actually a priority and why is it a priority?
Why am I doing what I’m doing?
If it’s not for you, then don’t do it.

[48:29] – How do you define efficiency?

Efficiency is just doing the best that I can do in what I do and getting things done that I want to do.

[48:46] – Which would be the top three things that you would always repeat?

I think going back to what I was saying before:
Time management.
Realistic expectations.
Learning how to manifest what you want and work with energy.
