It looks like the Little Mermaid got one hell of a suntan. And, of course, half of America is now racist for asking "what's up with that?".
But are they really, though?
This week's episode looks under the surface to see what's really going on. Why is "white-washing" a character bad, but any other color of wash is something to be defended and celebrated? And is it really even about race, or is it something else, altogether?
Get ready to hear some very unpopular opinions in this week's episode of the podcast.

After years of dreaming about how cool it would be to own your own business, you took the leap. You started your own business... and you might have made the biggest mistake of your whole life.
Not only do you have to do the thing that your business is based around, but now there are all the other things that come with running a business. Fulfilling orders, customer outreach, managing the books, ensuring quality, filing paperwork, building a website, and the list goes on. Owning a business is a lot more work than you'd thought it was... but it doesn't have to be.
Nathan Hirsch has found a shortcut. He's found a lot of them, in fact. Nathan was drop-shipping before anybody even knew what that was. His business was almost completely outsourced from the start. And as time went on, he perfected the model.
Now, Nathan helps business owners like you get more off your plate so you can actually enjoy the benefits of business ownership. He joins the podcast to give you some tips on outsourcing your tasks and to talk shop. Tune in and you'll discover:
• Why college might not be the best choice for today's entrepreneur
• How the "drop-shipping" business model came into being
• Whether or not drop-shipping is still a viable opportunity
• Why you have to delegate work if you want to grow your business
• Who NOT to hire when you're building your team
• Why skill isn't the most important factor when making a hiring decision
• How to vet people before you bring them on as a team member
• Why outsourcing to other countries DOESN'T hurt your local economy
• How to avoid getting screwed over when hiring a virtual assistant
• The downside of being successful that nobody talks about

It seems like every day now, news broadcasters are having to walk back on claims they made the day before. False accusations, Russian conspiracy theories, and stories that would make the tabloids blush have become the bedrock of nightly news. But how did it get this way?
Susan Rook was an investigative journalist and anchor for CNN and she has some interesting insights on what led to the media giant's downfall. She joins me this week to tell her story and share some behind the scenes info that could shed some light on the subject.
Join us as we discuss:
● Why journalists no longer investigate before they report
● How social media has destroyed the old business news model
● Why corporate interests have so much influence in the news you receive
● Proof that most news - even local news - is completely scripted
● How the 24-hour news cycle led to the rise of "fake news"
● The truth about how media is being monopolized
● Why television viewers are so happy being lied to
● How youtube and podcasts are disrupting (and enraging) mainstream media
● Why CNN might be going down in the very near future

Should You Mix Business with Politics? http://nathanfrasershow.com/index.php?podcast=858 http://freemarketsquad.blastpod.com/index.php?podcast=858 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 00:00:01 +0000 ]]> Political opinions are like A$$holes. Everybody has one and they all stink. So, should you let yours be known?
Social media tends to bring out the worst in people. We're all a little too quick to share our opinions with the world. Could your posts (or the posts of your employees) be hurting your business?
Celebrities are losing hosting gigs. Activists are targeting sponsors. They say that all publicity is good publicity. But is that really the case?
When, if ever, is it okay to use your business platform to express your political beliefs? That's the main question we address and answer in this podcast. Tune in to hear more.

Imagine a world where one dictator ruled over the entire planet with an iron fist. What if holding the wrong ideas meant you were cut off from buying, selling, and trading? How would that impact your dreams of self-ownership and entrepreneurialism?
When we were kids, my parents would warn us of the impending New World Order. They spoke of a global government where only those who took the Mark would be able to buy, sell, or trade. It seemed like a fantasy back then, but current events have cast those old stories in a new light.
Alex Jones gets kicked off of PayPal. Sargon of Akkad loses his Patreon account. The CEO of Gab gets booted from CoinBase. Conservative voices are getting notices from Chase Bank that their accounts will be closed, with no explanation as to why. These are the times we live in.
Is the Mark of the beast upon us? What role do Social Justice Warriors play in all of this? Is there a way to turn this all around before it's too late? All these questions and more will be answered on this week's episode of the BYOBoss Podcast.

What do you do when mainstream media just keeps getting the story wrong? When they jump to conclusions that don't pan out? When they get caught flat out lying about story after story? When video comes out and disproves everything the "trusted" media corporations were saying?
You censor anyone who might have the truth, that's what.
Once again, mainstream media is caught with its pants down when it comes to the Jussie Smollet case. This comes only weeks after they blatantly lied about the Covington Catholic MAGA hat wearing teens in Washington D.C. And to crack down on the spread of fake news, YouTube has decided to start censoring what it considers to be "conspiracy theories." But who gets to decide what constitutes whether a story is news or a conspiracy theory? And what could the true motive behind this motive be?

Success and socialism usually don't mix. So why are there so many successful people in the media who seem to be fans of Karl Marx?
A few weeks back, I posted a meme saying the worst thing you could wish upon a commie was to become successful and find themselves on the other end of their own ideals. Hard work and sacrifice to achieve your dreams tends to disillusion you of wealth redistribution fantasies. But I ended up getting a lot of pushback on the idea, namely, Hollywood and mainstream media pendants.
How could one be a millionaire and still a leftist? How could you be rich and famous, and still espouse the utopian ideas of socialism? How do so many walking contradictions exist?
In this week's episode, I break down the top three reasons Hollywood is overflowing with socialist. From the big screen to the flat screen, three common reasons seem to come up again and again. What are they? You'll just have to tune in to find out.

What Everybody Missed About the New Gillette Ad http://nathanfrasershow.com/index.php?podcast=838 http://freemarketsquad.blastpod.com/index.php?podcast=838 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 00:00:01 +0000 ]]> Episode 117
Unless you've been living in a cave, you've seen the infamous Gillette "The Best A Man Can Be" advertisement.
It's become one of the top 30 most down-voted videos on YouTube. Commentators from all points of view have weighed in on it. And by now, you're probably tired of hearing about it. So, why do I bring it up?
Because, there's something almost everybody missed about the ad, and it needs to be considered. There's a reason the ad was made, and it wasn't to stir up controversy or reach a new demographic like most are accusing. The real reason seems to have flown right over the heads of everyone. And without addressing it, we're only going to see more of these kinds of ads in the future.
The ad killed goodwill with its main audience. It made the company the butt of a million memes. Gillette is even admitting now that it had no positive impact on sales. So, why do they consider the ad a success? And why is this only the beginning for left-leaning political messages being disguised as advertising?

Why Successful Capitalists Promote Socialism http://nathanfrasershow.com/index.php?podcast=822 http://freemarketsquad.blastpod.com/index.php?podcast=822 Wed, 19 Dec 2018 00:00:01 +0000 ]]> Episode 114
Jim Carrey recently made the statement, "we must say yes to socialism." And he's not alone.
Many rich and famous celebrities have expressed similar sentiment. From Russell Brand to Charlie Chaplin, Hollywood has had a not-so-secret love affair with socialism. But celebrities aren't the only powerful elite who promote an idea that would seemingly rob them of their wealth and power.
Silicon Valley seems to be overrun with extreme leftist ideologues, as of late. From advocating censorship to promoting regulations, the tech giants seem to have gone full-on anti-capitalists. Tim Cook brags about de-platforming people from apple for believing in conspiracy theories. Mark Zuckerberg says internet regulation is inevitable and necessary. Why would people who made their millions off the free market suddenly have such a change of heart about it? Why would people who rose to the top through capitalism suddenly start advocating for regulations and socialism?
The answer might surprise you. But it will all make sense after listening to this week's episode of the Nathan Fraser Show.

Every single day, more and more people are disappearing off the internet. Twitter profiles deleted, Patreon accounts deactivated, YouTube Channels flushed down the memory holes. The days of digital book-burning are upon us.
It started with people like Alex Jones, but now it's spread to people like Kevin Hart and Kyler Murray. Christmas songs are being banned from the radio. The SJW plot for world domination is almost at a close.
A lot of ideas are being thrown around on how to fight this new puritanism, sweeping the internet by storm. Talks of government regulation and an Internet Bill of Rights are coming into favor. But are these really the preventative measures we should be accepting?
I, of course, think not. I think there's another way to combat the craziness without getting the government involved. And I bet I can win you over to my way of thinking if you listen to the latest episode of the Nathan Fraser Show.

Recently, Donald Trump came out as a Nationalist, and the media had a field day with it.
Accusations of dog whistles abounded. People read into it whatever they wanted. Most of the left added a silent "white" to the beginning of the word, confirming what they've always thought anyway. But is this the case?
To some people, Donald Trump is trying to put America back on top again. To others, he's trying to turn the country into Nazi Germany. So, whose version of reality is closer to the truth? And what exactly is the difference between a Nationalist and a Globalist?
Both sides seem to view the other as evil, which is often how these things work. But do both sides have valid reasons for believing what they do? That's what this week's episode is all about.
Let's look at what drives both the Nationalists and the Globalists. We'll cover the political motives, the cultural motives, and the monetary motives.

Growing up, I was always a bit of an introvert, and comic books were a kind of safe haven for me.
When life got to be too much, I could always escape into the world of comics. Ninja Turtles, Spiderman, Batman and Spawn, these were my friends when the going got tough.
Pathetic? Maybe so. But I wasn't the only one. Millions of people found a similar sense of escapism in the pages of comic books. And one of the greatest people to ever write those pages was the legendary Stan Lee.
Sadly, Stan Lee passed away this week. He leaves behind a legacy and an entertainment empire. And for those with eyes to see and ears to hear, he left some pretty profound business lessons as well.
This episode is my farewell to Stan Lee, as well as some insights that he taught me on how to run a business. Tune in for some stories of my past, some stories of Stan's past, and some golden nuggets of business advice along the way.

Memes can make you laugh. They can make you think. Some might argue that meme magic swung the 2016 election. So, what makes these pictures with text so powerful?
I used to find the idea of meme magic comical. But the latest NPC meme seems to have the whole world in an uproar. It's getting mainstream coverage. It's being banned on Twitter. There's gotta be something else going on here.
This week, let's take a look at the NPC meme; where it came from, the impact it's having, and why it scares so many people. After that, let's figure out if we can harness that power in your marketing. (Hint: the answer's yes)

Just as one of my previous relationships was coming to an end, I dove in head first and made everything worse. The weird thing was, I was trying to make things better. But anger, spite, and jealousy took a bad situation and made it worse.
Can you relate?
As humans, we tend to double down on bad behavior. We try something, we don't get the result we wanted, so we double down and try it some more. After all, if at first, you don't succeed...
But, is this really the best way to approach life? Is it the best way to approach business? Is it the best way to approach politics?
It seems like everyone is doubling down on failure lately. Marvel Comics keeps losing customers. Democrats keep walking away. The women in my life keep leaving me. But why?
Why do we double down on bad behavior? What causes us to be this self-destructive? And how do we fix it before it destroys the things we care about for good? And what does any of this have to do with the recent Facebook Purge?

Imagine this; it's a crappy morning.
You wake up late for work. The alarm didn't go off. As you jump out of bed and take your first step into the hallway, your foot meets with a random lego. And that's just the beginning.
You get downstairs and turn on the coffee. You check the news about a few stocks you own, all of them down from the day before. Great, you're starting in the red for the day.
You pour your coffee and set it on the counter. Running late and stressed, you rush out the door with your coffee still sitting there. Now, you have to stop and get some garbage coffee from the convenient store.
Their coffee machine is down. You hit every red light on the way to work, and just as you're pulling in to the parking lot, you're phone starts to ring. It's your wife. "Honey, don't forget that Johnny has football practice after school, It's your turn to pick him up."
That's it... You snap. And it wasn't even a big deal that set you off.
"I've never forgotten about him before. Why would tonight be any different? Why are you always riding my ass about everything? It's too early for this shit."
Face it, you've been there. We've all been there.
People make most of their decisions based on emotions. And whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, that's the way it is. We also make most of our buying decisions based on emotions. And if you do it correctly, emotional appeals can have your market emptying their wallets on you. But if you do it wrong, those sales will dry up faster than vagina when it gets around a male feminist.

Article 11 and 13 just passed in the European Union. This new set of laws could change the essence of the internet and free speech as we know it. But how will it affect small business?
Free speech advocates are pushing back. Big tech and politicians seem to be on board with it. And most small businesses seem unaware of how this new legislation will impact them.
Yes, Articles 11 and 13 will crack down on meme sharing. Yes, they'll make it harder for youtube commentators. But what about you, the small business owner? How will these new laws impact your business model?

Doberman Dan started his career in law enforcement at a young age. He went in thinking he could be a hero and left seeing things in a different light. Good thing he struck it rich in the game of direct response marketing.
Dan worked on both sides of the line, both as an entrepreneur, and as a "public servant". And he picked up a lot about human psychology along the way.
In this episode, we go deep into what makes people tick. We explore the reptilian brain, pavlovian concepts, and even a little bit of mainstream media and mind control.
Marketing works. Governments use it all the time. Are you using it in your business? This is a look at marketing from a whole new angle. You don't want to miss it.

Your actions are a direct result of your beliefs. So, if someone can control what you believe, they can have a lot of control over how you act. We see it every day.
The media from one side interprets a story one way. The media on the other side does the opposite. The two worldviews collide in a protest and the puppets play out their roles, just as intended.
But what if you could use this knowledge for good? What if you could direct what people believe in order to direct them to a buying decision? What if you could use psychology to improve their lives and fatten your wallet at the same time? Would you do it?
That's the question we dive deep into on the latest episode of the Nathan Fraser Show.

Trailblazers return with a back full of arrows. So, if you're smart, you're in a business that has some competition. That means you need a way to stand out from the crowd.
One way of doing this is by positioning yourself as the opposite of what your competition is doing. But you have to be strategic about it. Do it wrong, and it'll blow up in your face. Do it right, and you might end up being the next president of the United States.

How to Turn Your Clients and Customers into Raving Super Fans
Marketing is the backbone of building a business. But it's only the first step. After you go out and get new clients and customers, what should you do next?
For most business owners, the answer is to go out and get more new clients and customers. That means, more ad spend to cold audiences. That means more cold outreach. And it also means ignoring the one set of people who've already said they'll buy from you... your current happy customers.
New customers always require more advertising to win them over. Returning customers already know they like what you have to offer, so they only require subtle nudges to get them buying again. And what are those subtle nudges? How can you turn past clients and customers into raving super fans of your business? Well, you're about to find out.
That's what this weeks episode of the Nathan Fraser Show is all about. With a very special guest, Purdeep Sangha, author of the new book Super Fans.

Most of the time, sales is about connecting people with something that will make their lives better. But that's not always the case.
Sometimes, slimy salespeople sell you on something that isn't in your best interest. This kind of selling requires high levels of manipulation, and only the least scrupulous marketers even attempt it. But you can learn a lot from them, if you know what they're doing.
The masters of this kind of manipulation are the talking heads of Mainstream Media. They sell people on snake oil all day long. In fact, they keep most of their viewers living in a complete fantasy world, in order to sell them on their ultimate product, Big Government.
How do they do it? How do they get common sense American's lined up to trade in their freedoms for a false sense of security? And how can understanding this help you get more sales in your business?
Worry not, young Padawan, for all will be revealed in this week's episode of the Nathan Fraser Show.

Everybody says that content is the future of marketing. So, you start a blog, you write a bunch of articles, and... crickets.
Sound familiar?
Wasting time is almost as bad as wasting money when it comes to your advertising. And spending hours writing a 5,000-word article that doesn't even show up on the search engines is more than a little frustrating. In fact, it's the reason most blogs slow to a stop, less than six months in.
But what if there was a better way? What if you could increase your chance of hitting a home run before you even stepped up to bat? What if you could ensure a blog posts rankings before you even typed a single word?
Would you believe me if I said there is a way?
Kevin Geary has proven it, time and time again. He's launched two successful businesses now, both with SEO marketing as the backbone of their traffic strategies. And he's perfected a method to discover what to write about, and what to pass on, to rank in google search results.

Are your children being properly prepared for the world in the public schools?
A lot of people feel like the schools are failing. Some people take it one step further. You might even think the schools are deliberately setting our kids up for failure. And you wouldn't be alone in this belief.
But what about college?
It seems like even college has turned against the goals of preparing kids for the real world. Safe spaces, trigger warnings, and useless degrees seem to take precedence over actual education these days. Surely things are better in the Ivy League schools. We have to expect that areas of study like science and history are still grounded in reality. Right?
Well, you might be surprised.
Hunter Maats joins me this week to explain just how far down this rot goes. Hunter is the co-author of The Straight-A Conspiracy, and co-host of the wildly successful podcast, Mixed Mental Arts. What he lays out in this episode will leave you questioning everything.

I was born into poverty, and I escaped it.
I grew up believing a lot of self-limiting ideas. I saw myself as a victim. I blamed my problems on others. And I stayed stuck in poverty way longer than I had because of it.
Then, I started working my ass off. I built 3 businesses and ran all 3 of them into the ground. I learned some very expensive lessons, picked myself up, and started again.
And after years of being dragged through the mud, I finally started making some strides towards success... only to be told it wasn't my hard work and sacrifice that got me to where I am. But rather, it was my white privilege.

Confidence is everything.
When looking for a romantic partner, people seek out confidence. When deciding on who should get the promotion, an employer looks for confidence. When making a buying decision, the shopper is looking for signs that you're confident in what you're selling.
More than background, gender, skin color, or any other surface-level trait, confidence determines your success in life. Those with confidence attempt more, achieve more and inspire the confidence of others.
The problem is, we're not taught how to be confident in school. One of the most valuable lessons you could ever learn, and it's left out of our education. Some would even argue that it's trained out of us by the school system and replaced with lessons on obedience to authority figures.
So how do we fix this? How do we get more confidence? How do we break the submissive conditioning and reach our true potential in life? Well, That's what this week's podcast is all about.
Paloma Lev joins me to discuss tips and tricks on how to improve your personal confidence, the confidence others have in you, and live the life you've always wanted. Paloma runs the Bad Ass Communicators Club on Facebook, and brings a wealth of knowledge to the table.

Facebook Ads - What's Working and What's Not with Dustin Belvin
Facebook ads can be a great resource for small business owners.
It's accessible to the small business owner in a way that really levels the playing field. It helps you target and reach people in a way that's never been possible before. And it's growing in popularity.
But as more and more business owners flock to Facebook for their advertising, the cost to compete there is climbing. What worked a few years ago might not get the same results today. What worked yesterday might be rendered useless in the future. And that's why it makes sense to have a guy in the field, day in and day out.
I have a couple guys like that, and Dustin Belvin is one of them. In fact, he's one of my top guys. And in this week's podcast, he brings us the latest news on what's working for Facebook ads, and what's not.

Most entrepreneurs are also a bit introverted.
We spend a lot of time in our own heads. We feel comfortable taking charge. But when it comes to meeting new people or networking at events, it can leave most of us feeling overwhelmed and drained.
The problem is, having a good network is vital to the chances of your business succeeding. There's a lot of truth to the old saying, "it's not what you know, but who you know." And if you're not good at networking, who you know will be a small number of people, indeed.
So what can you do?
Well, this week's episode is all about that very question.
I'll go over some lessons I learned from a recent event that I attended in Los Angeles. We'll cover 5 tips for making a better impression on people when you've just met them. And we'll even do a bit of deep diving into what makes people like you, and how to exploit it.

They explain what the feature means to the end buyer. They explain how each feature will improve the life of the buyer. This is a more advanced tactic, but it's still not the best one out there.
Some of the best marketers focus on selling the transformation.
They explain how your life will be changed by buying what they sell. They paint a picture of a metamorphosis that happens as a result of buying. Essentially, they're selling you a better version of you.
This is the highest level of selling... or, at least, that's what most marketers think. But they're wrong.
There's actually one more level of selling. The one thing that all people are actually wanting to buy. It goes beyond features, benefits, and even transformation. And it's the most important thing to get right, especially if your selling high-ticket items.

Why You Need to Change Your Mindset About Money http://nathanfrasershow.com/index.php?podcast=535 http://freemarketsquad.blastpod.com/index.php?podcast=535 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 00:00:01 +0000 ]]> Episode 077
I grew up poor.
Not just poor; but welfare, food stamps, living out of the back of a pick-up truck poor.
The way I viewed the world, money, and economics kept me living that way until my mid-twenties. I bought into socialist ideas and my programming kept me poor. But then, everything changed.
I can't remember the exact moment, but my thinking started to change. I began exploring other points of view. I started my own business. And I slowly broke the brainwashing that had held me back my entire life.
Like I said, I don't remember the straw that broke the camels back, but I now see things in a totally different light. And the change of view has helped me pull myself out of the poverty-stricken life I seemed destined for as a child.
Most of us are cursed to only see part of the whole picture. We're trained to view the world in a way that keeps us from succeeding. We're programmed for failure.
Want to know how I broke my programming? Then check out this episode of the BYOBoss Podcast.

This is a question people ask me all the time.
The answer is simple. Copywriting is persuasion in print. It's a form of writing that leads someone to a desired way of thinking. Most of the time, it's to a "Buy Now" button. But once you understand the foundations of copywriting, the possibilities are limitless.
And this week's episode is all about that; the foundations of copywriting.

As a kid, I was pretty selfish.
I felt like the world owed me.
I was always concerned with getting my fair share. I was always looking to get more than I was expected to give. My biggest concern in any situation was "what's in it for me."
Even though we grew up poor, I was the typical spoiled American. I wanted free everything; money for nothing, and my chicks for free. That mindset lead me to chase false opportunities and burn a lot of bridges along the way.
But in my mid-twenties, I came started coming across a recurring message in a lot of the books I was reading. It was repeated by Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, Stephen Covey and more. And when I implemented into my life, I saw immediate changes.
No longer was I chasing the things I wanted; they started coming to me. Struggles that had previously been an uphill battle were now becoming a walk in the park. It was a simple mindset shift, that altered my actions, and drastically changed my results.

Kevin Geary is not your typical health and fitness guru.
He started out as an out of shape karate instructor. Overweight, on the brink of major health issues, and wanting to quit his job, Kevin knew he needed some change. So he went out and found it.

People in his dojo started noticing, and wanted to know his secrets. So, as part of their training, Kevin started teaching them about what he was learning. As a result, he began what would eventually become Rebooted Body.

My first business was not very traditional.
I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I didn't have Daddy's money to play around with. I didn't have venture capitalists backing my start-up.
I had a few bucks I'd saved up, and a product I knew people were buying. A product that I can't mention in the show notes, for legal reasons.
That was my first taste of the entrepreneurial lifestyle. And though I would never recommend this as a career path, it did teach me a lot about running a business.
And in this episode, I lay out the ten biggest lessons I learned as a street hustler, that carried over into my life as a legitimate businessman.

You are the hero of your own story.
This is how most of us view ourselves. Even when we mess up, we rationalize and justify our actions. It's what we do.
Most of us are good people. And we like to think the world is a better place, for having us.
But, is there a downside to this?
Can our desire to be the hero turn us into the villain?

There are so many things to consider, and even more things you don't even know you should consider. And often times, it's not until we've wasted a bunch of time and money that we realize we've made a mistake in our plans. I've been there. The struggle is real.
In this episode I talk with Chris Stefanick about laying a solid foundation for a thriving business.
This is part 1 of 2 in the series.

Why should online business have all the fun?
There are so many unfair advantages that online business have. Online business can content market, take online payments, use email marketing. It seems like brick and mortar stores are being left out in the cold.

And what he shares in this interview will change the way you look at local business advertising.
Find out how he avoids the pitfalls of racing to the lowest price when renting out his properties. Discover how email has re-invented his application process. And learn how podcasting destroyed one business idea for him, but has been the backbone of many others.
All this, and a little bit of politics, thrown in for good measure.

Our life is like a garden, a plot of soil ripe for growing. By default, most gardens will yield flowers and produce. But all gardens will also provide a fair amount of weeds. And therein lies the downfall of most people. When we spend all our time watering the weeds and ignoring the produce, our lives become a miserable prison of oppression. Victim hood unchecked, like wild vines, can strangle the life from your garden. And this understanding can be used by nefarious leaders to control you and keep you down. But, this knowledge can be used to lift people up. You can take somebodies focus on their own victim hood, and use it to lead them to a better place. You can use the weeds in the garden to help bring about a healthy crop. In this episode, you'll learn how to avoid the manipulations of victim mindset.

The basics of selling spill into every aspect of modern life. Want to get that first date with the person you've been admiring? Want to get paid what you're worth at your job? What to start your own business? None of these are possible without at least some amount of selling. So why is it that selling is never taught to you at school? I remember lessons on history, math, and music. I remember being taught how to do a push-up and how to write an essay. But I can't remember a single lesson on persuasion. Not once was how to sell covered in my twelve years of mandatory learning. Why not? This one skill can mean the difference between success and failure in almost every aspect of life. So why is it completely ignored in public schools? And why is it even looked down on and suppressed in many forms of higher education? Most importantly, What can you do to fight back? David Garfinkel has been teaching people the finer points of persuasion for most of his career. He's helped big companies make millions. He's helped entrepreneurs escape the rat race of employment. And he's trained some of the most successful copywriters out there today. And at the core of all he's done, it comes down to one simple thing. He teaches people how to sell. David joins us this week to give his thoughts on why the education system is failing us in this major area of life. We explore the roots of where our education system came from, who runs it now, and where it seems to be headed. Want to undo the damage done to you by the academic system in this country? David shows you how. From learning how to learn, to learning how to sell, David's got you covered. Tune in to this very special interview with one of the greatest selling minds of our time.

I hear the same arguments, over and over from this crowd. Scarcity causes poverty. Abundance is the solution. Capitalism is destroying our ability to thrive. But how true are these claims? I would argue that scarcity has virtue. Scarcity, like any other fact of life, is not just some comic book villain that can be painted in black and white. There is much more to it. There are many shades of gray, and even redeeming values to scarcity, that most people overlook. In this episode, I explain why scarcity can actually be a good thing. You'll see it from a whole new point of view, and come to appreciate it. After that, I'll show you how to draw it out in your advertising in a way that creates more value around what you sell. You'll discover how having less of something can actually bring in more sales.

I know I have. Here's the deal, it doesn't matter how important your message is if you can't get people to pay attention to it. And so many of us have no idea on how to put forth our message in a way that compels others to take it in. From bad sentence structure to overwhelming delivery, we just keep on shooting ourselves in the foot when it comes to selling our ideas. Something has to change or we'll keep moving forward at a snails pace. And in the words of Kimberly "Sweet Brown" Wilkins, "Ain't nobody got time for that." So how do you change this? How do you get more engagement on your facebook and twitter posts? How do you get people to actually read and share your blog posts? How do you get people to pay attention to what you're writing? You do what I do. You take what works in direct response advertising and you apply it to your other online communications. You take the tricks that keep people reading a sales letter, and you incorporate it into all of your writing.

Can a giving nature actually be bad for you and the people around you? It flies in the face of accepted knowledge, but hear me out. A few weeks back, I did an episode on the Rule of Reciprocity. It basically laid out how if you give first, others will be compelled to give back. But is that always the case? This week, I look at the flip side of the argument, and explore the importance of setting expectations. When you tell people to expect free stuff from you, what can that lead to? Are there negative consequences to always giving freely? I'll let you be the judge.]]>Download.]]> rule,of,reciprocity,giving,expectations,free,welfare,value,content,marketing, Nathan Fraser yes The Most Important Life Skill School Never Taught You http://nathanfrasershow.com/index.php?podcast=230 http://freemarketsquad.blastpod.com/index.php?podcast=230 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 00:00:01 +0000 ]]> Anarcho-Preneur Episode 024 There are a lot of things that public schools teach us. How to worship authority, how to hate learning, and how to sacrifice your individuality for the collective, just to name a few. But there is one skill that public schools seem to avoid like the plague. And it's probably the most important life skill you could ever learn; How To Sell. Knowing how to sell yourself, your ideas, your services and your products is vital in todays world. Yet, classes on this important subject are strangely absent in the government schools. That's why I decided to do this episode. As a copywriter and marketing consultant, selling is what I do. I help people with sales pages, sales funnels, and sales letters. And you'd be surprised how many of today's business owners don't know how to sell. In this episode, I break down our simple 3 step copy platform that we run through with every new client. It asks 3 simple questions that can really hammer home a selling strategy, where none existed before. If you're struggling with getting sales, it's probably because you don't have a clear idea of how to sell. This episode will help you lay the foundation of your copy platform, and make life a whole lot easier, from there. ]]>Download.]]> sales,copy,public,schools,selling,platform,3,simple,steps Nathan Fraser yes 3 Mindset Shifts That Increase Your Sales http://nathanfrasershow.com/index.php?podcast=229 http://freemarketsquad.blastpod.com/index.php?podcast=229 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 00:00:01 +0000 ]]> Anarcho-Preneur Episode 023 You probably have something wonderful to offer the world, but selling might not come natural. I know it took me a long time to get to the point where I felt good about asking for payments for my services. But, if you want to succeed, you need fuel for your mission, and that fuel comes in the way of sales. This episode is all about changing the frame you view sales in, which will result in it being a lot easier for you to make them. Most of our chains are mental, and this is as true in selling as it is in any other area of life. And so, I present to you, 3 Mindset Shifts That Increase Your Sales. 1.) Understand difference between manipulation and persuasion. Manipulation is when the other party regrets their decision. Persuasion is when the other party rejoices in their decision. 2.) Both Parties Win! Subjective value means selling is not a not a win/lose deal. In a fair trade, both parties leave better than they came. 3.) If you have value to provide, you have an obligation to sell it. If you can save the world, you had better let us buy your solution. You owe at least that much to us. Even if you can only offer a to cure boredom, if you don’t let people know about it, you're doing them a disservice.

We all have. Well, unless you're a sociopath, that is. Think of a time you wanted to say no to something, but begrudgingly agreed because you felt you owed it to the other person to say yes. Now ask yourself, has this way of thinking ever been used against me, as a way to manipulate me? It probably has. But does that mean that the inert desire to give when we have received is a bad thing? Absolutely not. Most of us feel the need to repay debts and bring balance to the universe. This is part of makes the human race so prosperous. In this episode, I get into understanding the nature of reciprocity, and what it means in todays modern world. You'll get a clear understanding of how it can be used to persuade people to buy what your selling, through what is commonly known as Content Marketing. This can be a great way of providing value before you ask someone to make a purchase, and we explore how to use this strategy in a moral way. But there is a Dark Side to this force, and we explore that, as well. Some people, from big business, to politicians, to parasitic friends and family members, will use this knowledge to manipulate and control others. You'll discover how to determine when this is happening, and how to protect yourself from becoming its victim. ]]>Download.]]> reciprocity,content,marketing,free,samples,give,and,get,debt,leverage,lobbying Nathan Fraser yes Do's and Don'ts For Dealing With Depression http://nathanfrasershow.com/index.php?podcast=227 http://freemarketsquad.blastpod.com/index.php?podcast=227 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 00:00:01 +0000 ]]> Anarcho-Preneur Episode 021 Ever had one of those mornings where you just wanted to crawl back into bed and sleep all day?

Of course, nobody likes a tattletale, and gossip is often frowned upon, but does it go deeper than that? Can the inability to mind your own business actually affect your ability to successfully run your own business? In this episode, I look at the top 7 reasons that minding your own business is vital to success in life, work, and society. Each of the following points will be expanded on in greater detail, in the podcast. Make sure you give it a listen, to fully grasp each one. 1. Gossip is a habit of the unsuccessful. This has been tested and proven. 2. It makes you look insecure. If you don't appear to be secure in yourself, how will others view you? 3. Stupid beef only feeds the other side. "Look, if I shoot you, I'm brainless. But if you shoot me, then you're famous." - Jay-Z 4. The energy you waste focusing on someone else, is energy you can't focus on meeting your own goals. Energy flows where attention goes. 5. Don't be focused on a fixed pie, practice abundance. Don't worry about your neighbors bowl, unless it's to make sure they have enough to eat. 6. Lessons from the animal kingdom. Lions don’t worry about the opinions of sheep. And finally, 7. Winners focus on winning, haters focus on winners.

Don’t worry, we all do. And the more abstract your idea, or the more expensive your product, the more difficult getting to Yes becomes. Fortunately, there are a few best practices when it comes to selling people on your services, products, or ideas. In this episode, I go over some of the fundamentals needed for negation, for persuasion, and for winning people over. If you are tired of trying to convince people of things that could help them, and always hitting brick walls, the tips in this episode will help you escape that pattern. The five simple steps that I cover in this episode are: 1. Not everybody is a good fit. Don’t try to make everyone love you, your message, or your product. 2. Don’t pull a bait and switch. Just be yourself. 3. Only fools rush in. Know how to take people from cold to warm, and from warm to hot. 4. Start with the easy Yes, work toward the harder Yes. Start where your maps overlay. 5.

But as a privacy advocate, I get a little freaked out by how invasive it can be. Brian and I have a well rounded discussion about the topic, and throw around some ideas about possible solutions that don't come off as so Orwellian.

If you have something that could improve the lives of others, I would think you have an obligation to put it it there. If you can sell it, you can reinvest that money in order to give that value to even more people. But so many people get hung up on sales, and so much great value is never allowed to enter the world. We talk about the different ways to sell based upon your personality, how to overcome fear of selling, and how selling has changed with the information age.

Eddie started his company after vaping helped him kick the habit of smoking cigarettes, and he wanted to help others do the same. But now, as vaping is taking a chunk out of big player pockets, his industry seems to be under attack. In this episode, we look at some of the health concerns around vaping, as well as the safety risks involving children and addiction. Eddie does not play spin doctor about these issues. He addresses them in a straight forward manner. In the latter part of the interview, we talk about why big tobacco and big pharma might want to see the vaping industry cease to exist, as well as what steps they are taking to insure it.

And how do you break free from the wrong crowd? Then, in the second half of the show, I delve into some Game Theory concepts and how they relate to society and voting. What happens when people make decisions without knowing all of the facts? What happens when those decisions are turned into laws? I think there is a very compelling argument for why voting is the worst possible way to run a society. It all comes back to voluntary association. You should choose your life and tribe.

Marketers and politicians certainly believe so. In this episode, I take a closer look at an aspect of something called NLP, or, Neuro Linguistic Programming. In particular, I'll be talking about a practice know as "miming". This is when you copy certain things that another person is doing in order to establish rapport with them and, in theory, gain control over them. I don't believe it's that black and white, but there is definitely something to be said for it. Smile, and others will often smile back. Yawn, and others will often unconsciously mimic you. But why? When you look at groups of people who all dress in the same clothes, or use the same slang, is there more to it than just trying to fit in? And if there is more to it, can knowledge of the truth give you an unfair advantage over your fellow man?

Make sure you reach them. This episode is all about how to effectively set, and reach your goals. A lot of us enter the New Year with lofty ambitions, and quickly fizzle out by mid-February. In this episode, I give you 10 tips on how to make sure that doesn't happen to you. With these 10 tips, you can achieve almost anything you set out to accomplish. 1. Know the difference between a dream and a goal. We all have dreams, only some of us have goals. A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline. Dreaming can make us feel good, goals make us a little uneasy, which is why most stick to dreaming. 2. Goals should be outside of comfort zone. They should cause you to grow. Binge watching a season of Netflix over the weekend is not a goal. 3. Make sure not to overwhelm yourself with goals and then just give up. Although goals should help you grow, they should also be achievable. I try to set between three and five at a time, and have them all on different timelines, and even that seems like too much, at times. 4. Be specific, not vague. Loose weight or get rich or change the world, Not good. Loose ten pounds, or save 1000 dollars, or feed the homeless every Friday night, those are great, and actionable. 5. BIG ONE, write them down. Writing them down gets them out of your head, and into reality. It makes them more real, and more like to happen. 6. Review them often, daily or weekly. Put them somewhere where you will see them everyday. 7. Break them down into action steps. Have long term, but also have steps clear on how to get there. Often, if we don’t know the first step, we’ll never start the journey. Also important, Celebrate each step along the way. 8. Find mentors or accountability partners. People who already know the path, and can help you better navigate it. Fortunately, it’s easy to connect, and lot’s of people give their experience away for free on the web. 9. Share your goals selectively. Gets back to the dreaming part, sometimes talking about it will feel good, and substitute for actually doing. Some people will not see your vision, and shoot you down. But some people will lift you up and help you out. Share with those kind of people. 10. Don’t give up if you fail after one attempt. Commit. A mistake only becomes a failure if you let it stop you. What can you learn? Analyze and try again. Want to learn more? Listen to the episode.

And is it a good idea to sell out in order to cash in on a trend? This is a highly debated topic and business, and a subject that evokes passionate responses in fans and activists. This week, I look at why selling out can damage your success, and how staying true to your niche can make you rich. Mainstream kills the spirit of all it touches. The more widely accepted something is, the less of powerful its staying power. We’ve all had a favorite band that went mainstream and made us lose interest. We’ve all seen “me too” products from companies that never seem to last. And we’ve all had ideas of cashing in on something, only to realize that the market for it has vanished the next week. In this episode, I explore what causes us to chase paper, and why chasing it often makes it harder to catch. What happens when you pursue a goal that is only motivated by money? Lots of people seem to make a good living by pandering to fair weather fans, but will that success last? I lay out why I do not recommend this type of business practice, and why I feel true success comes from working at what you’re passionate about. Watering down your message can destroy your mission. Trying to please everyone will ending pleasing no one. I show how you can see this in politics, in business, and in activism. There are two types of success in business; short money, and long money.

But does it have to be this way? Even the most successful people deal with the dreaded “Impostor Syndrome”. Worry and doubt effect us all. The biggest difference between those who achieve their goals and those who do not is usually just the ability to overcome internal conflicts.

It is often said that the State uses coercion, while the market relies on persuasion. I would contend that there is a grey area, in between, that both sometimes take advantage of. The midpoint of persuasion and coercion is manipulation. Ever notice how politicians will appeal to your feels? "Do it for the children". "We have to save the cute polar bears". ""We can't let the terrorists win". It's a;ways a play at the heartstrings. But why is this method so effective? Well, it's actually a marketing technique, called marketing towards emotions. And, in this episode, I explain why it's so powerful. I start by looking at the psychological aspects of what drives us to buy, whether it's a product, service, or an idea. Then, I explain how this knowledge can be used for good and how it is often used for bad. Customer empathy is important to have. Being able to empathize with ideological opponents is also important in any form of activism. There is a very thin line between persuasion and manipulation, and by the end of this episode, you will see it, clearly. You will know how to persuade, without being manipulative. You will also be less susceptible to manipulation from others, be they politicians or be they con men in the marketplace.]]>Download.]]> politics,capitalism,empathy,customer,pain,points,pleasure,marketplace,manipulation,persuasion,sales,copy,advertising Nathan Fraser yes The Servitude of the Self http://nathanfrasershow.com/index.php?podcast=210 http://freemarketsquad.blastpod.com/index.php?podcast=210 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 00:00:01 +0000 ]]> Anarcho-Preneur Episode 004 Do you ever feel like you're not reaching your full potential? Do you sometimes feel like you are your own worst enemy? I know that I do, from time to time. This episode is all about self limiting belief systems and how to overcome them. Sometimes, what's in our own heads is more of an obstacle than anything in the outside world. Fear of failure, giving up before we even start, fear of rejection, undervaluing ourselves, not being able to receive, all of these can destroy your potential in life. I get into each one of these, talk about how I struggle and overcome them, and a whole lot more.

Well, lot's of people do it, why can't you? In this episode, I reveal the most practical and common ways that people monetize their blogs and podcasts. The tips and techniques in this episode apply to anybody with an alternative media outlet. It doesn't matter if podcasting or blogging is part of your business, if you're an activist trying to recoup some costs, or your just a content creator trying to get paid, this episode is for you.]]>Download.]]> monetize,my,podcast,blog,activism,alternative,media,advertisers,sponsors,funding Nathan Fraser yes Evolution, Not Revolution http://nathanfrasershow.com/index.php?podcast=208 http://freemarketsquad.blastpod.com/index.php?podcast=208 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 00:00:01 +0000 ]]> Anarcho-Preneur Episode 002 Are you a revolutionary or an evolutionary? In this episode, I look at why being evolutionary might be the better way to go. If your trying to sell something to someone - be it a product, service, or an idea - hitting them with something completely revolutionary might blow up in your face. If it's a product or service, it might be so radical that you have to do way to much explaining and teaching before it can be seen as something your customer needs. This is not a good position to be in. If you're an activist, and the idea you are trying to sell is way to revolutionary, you might shut down people's minds before you ever have a chance to expand them. In this episode, you will gain some key insights on how to pre-frame what ever you trying to promote, in a way that will still make it accessible to your intended audience.]]>Download.]]> tipping,point,ideas,products,revolutionary,evolutionary,activism,effective,marketing, Nathan Fraser yes The Differentiator http://nathanfrasershow.com/index.php?podcast=205 http://freemarketsquad.blastpod.com/index.php?podcast=205 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 00:00:01 +0000 ]]> Anarcho-Preneur Episode 001 
Are you making a splash? Being an individual means that you are one of a kind. Most of us in liberty understand the value of individuality, but we never capitalize on it. 
 This week, I get into the idea of how important it is to set yourself apart. Do you want to be just another face in the sea of liberty activists? Do you want to be the producer of yet another widget that nobody really cares about? 
I don't. And I'm betting you don't either. 
In this episode, I look at how some of the biggest name activists have successfully created a differentiator for themselves. I'll also explain how this could also translate into your personal and business life, as well. ]]>Download.]]> unique,selling,proposition,differentiator,podcast,business,activism,marketing,individualism Nathan Fraser yes Racking The Shotgun http://nathanfrasershow.com/index.php?podcast=240 http://freemarketsquad.blastpod.com/index.php?podcast=240 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 00:00:01 +0000 ]]> Anarcho-Preneur Episode 000 What is Anarcho-Preneur? Is it a podcast that you should be listening to? In this episode I do a little bit of what marketers call "Racking the Shotgun". As with most Episode Zero's, you'll get to know who I am, and what the show is about. You'll also get an understanding of what value the podcast provides, and whether or not that value is worth an hour of your time each week. After listening to this introductory episode, you'll have a good idea as to if this is the show for you. If not, that's ok.
