My guest today is Matt Winters who recently changed his niche away from helping gay men go from feeling stuck and lonely to having the authentic connections they want in all areas of life. Now, Matt plans to leverage a career full of experience to help leaders relate to people as humans instead of as simply resources. Matt came to the conversation feeling conflicted and murky and he felt stuck. The two of us started by just questioning the idea that if you are indeed values driven, every aspect of your work must be filled to the brim with purpose. From there, we just explored Matt’s new niche and addressed each fear he had around it. Then, we wrapped things up by identifying three clear steps Matt can take to complete some marketing research and start bringing in new clients. Matt showed up with so much authenticity and care throughout the episode. You’ll hear it right away. And as coaches, there’s nothing better than working with an open hearted, truly coachable client, which was 100% Matt. By the end of our conversation, I think we both felt grounded and clear about how purpose and meaning show up everywhere when you are a person who cares about purpose and meaning.
130. Solve the Right Problems in Your Business
Saison 1
lundi 3 octobre 2022 • Durée 26:39
Happy October — This is the time of year where I know for me and so many other coaches start to dream, plan, and prepare for the year to come.
So to help you make next year a breakthrough year in your business I've cooked up 5 bonus episodes that we will drop each day this week!
And today is all about how to know you are solving the right problems in your business
We are rolling out these special episodes for 2 reasons:
1. To help you think differently about your business than you have in the past.
2. To help you decide if The Hive is the program to help you accomplish those goals and apply those strategies — and really make 2023 a different year for yourself.
So at the time of recording this episode we have exactly twenty spots available inside the hive before we close enrollment for the year.
We limit our enrollment because we really strive to deliver the gold standard when it comes to client success inside of the program. We're very high touch and intentional so we will close the doors for the year once we hit our enrollment goal.
So the way that I see it is if you've been at all curious about The Hive or it's been on your list... now is the time to begin your enrollment process. You can apply now at http://dallastravers.com/apply
Today's episode is all about how to solve the right problems in your biz.
Do you ever feel like everyone around you knows something you don't? Maybe like you're missing something- because you're doing all of the right things and still feel like you're just throwing spaghetti against the wall half of the time.
129. Get Brave to Be Visible with Adela Hussain
Saison 1
dimanche 2 octobre 2022 • Durée 35:02
Today, we’re going to talk about visibility… which is a priority and an obstacle for a lot of the coaches I meet when they join the Hive.
You know you need to put yourself out there in order to attract clients. Yet putting yourself out there can feel scary.
So perfectionism steps in…
…Or imposter syndrome…
…Or the countless distractions that keep us all playing small.
Well, my guest today has a solution for you. Her name is Adela Hussain who is the founder of Starts Ups & Co and is a master at helping you pitch your business to people that don’t know you…yet.
Adela discovered she had a talent for pitching when she first started doing PR for her own fashion tech start up and was featured in 14 publications in 12 months, including the Harvard Business Review without pitching!
Her Pitch to Press programme and PR Hero School have helped hundreds of founders fall in love with PR and master their media pitching to sky rocket their sales.
Throughout our interview, Adela offers up some super helpful visibility strategies during this talk to help you attract attention from the media.
Her tips for a stand out podcast pitch are fantastic, so be sure to stick around til the end of the episode.
But on the way there, you’ll also learn:
128. Do This When You’re in Your Own Way
Saison 1
dimanche 25 septembre 2022 • Durée 43:31
As coaches, we’ve all had those moments where we’ve held ourselves back. Whether it’s fear, perfectionism, distraction, or overwhelm… as humans, we’ve all been there.
It’s painful, especially when we know we’re doing it, yet we just can’t seem to break free from our sabotaging behaviors.
This episode is one of my favorites because we tackle self-sabotage head on.
Now, this episode originally aired what feels like a lifetime ago… and I’m bringing it forward today for 3 reasons
First, and most importantly, our guest… when we recorded this episode she was totally stuck around visibility.
Randi Corlin Roberts left her extremely successful corporate career to become a coach.
Randi had a massively successful track record, yet she held herself back from putting her coaching business out there.
Yes, she had private clients, but Randi wanted more…
Since this recording, Randi is so different.
She has a podcast now, she goes live, she’s launched power groups… she is a visibility machine!
So, I hope you feel inspired as you listen back and hear where she was at not long ago.
Reason #2: We updated our coaching super power quiz and I want you to get your hands on the updated toolkits! This episode is one of the resources we recommend for those coaches who score limitless potential, connection, or magnetism.
127. Turn Fans Into Paying Clients
Saison 1
dimanche 18 septembre 2022 • Durée 25:14
Do you ever feel like people love the work you do, yet nobody wants to pay you for it?
That was the case for today’s guest, Jill Valdez. Jill loves helping small business owners bring out the best in their teams to optimize performance and productivity.
In fact, Jill loves helping people so much that she’s always giving her services away for free.
So, Jill needed some concrete tools to move out of the ‘free help zone’ and into the hired consultant zone.
Our conversation was so much fun because by adding just a few tweaks to her discovery session process, we set Jill up to turn her fans into paying clients.
But before we dive in, here’s one last reminder to go and take the super power quiz at http://dallastravers.com/quiz .
We’ve curated these bespoke podcast playlists designed to meet you exactly where you’re at in your business and help you get to the next level. But we need to identify where you’re at first. The superpower quiz will help you do that. So set aside 45 seconds to take the quiz now at http://dallastravers.com/quiz
And with that.. Here’s Jill.
TIMESTAMPS:
00:02:20 - Jill shares how she is constantly helping people but never actually sells her coaching to them
00:06:00 - How Jill “beats around the bush” instead of just making the offer
00:08:00 - I share a story about my early business days when I assumed the yes
126. What Do You Stand For?
Saison 1
dimanche 11 septembre 2022 • Durée 49:14
Today's episode is the second in a special 4 part series where I’ve chosen some of my favorite, most impactful episodes to highlight.
We’ve put this series together because let’s face it… 125 episodes is no small feat and, especially if you’re new around here… some of these conversations are too valuable NOT to share with you again.
We also want to highlight some of the episodes included in our freshly minted and fully updated quiz results from the Super Power Quiz. If you haven’t taken the quiz before or you just want a refresher, check it out now at dallastravers.com/quiz.
Okay and now for today’s episode.
My guest is Laser Sidney who is a very talented musician who created and produced a wonderful musical last year called Teaching a Robot to Love.
He is also good at helping musicians and creators grow a genuine fanbase who actually want to pay for their music and then get paid through successful Kickstarter, Patreon, and crowdfunding campaigns.
And I’m gonna be honest with you, Laser doesn’t like selling. He’s also not that into a lot of the “coachy” strategies out there.
Yet, Laser wants to expand his reach in order to help more musicians make art without waiting for permission.
Now, there’s the rub… how do you build a bigger business without selling? How do you build a list without a lead magnet?
Laser and I prove it’s actually possible during today’s episode. Because when you let go of marketing yourself and instead focus on marketing your stance, the tactics and strategies don’t feel gross because you’ve made them your own.
125. How Brian Added 3600 New Email Subscribers in Less Than 90 Days
Saison 1
dimanche 4 septembre 2022 • Durée 41:21
Today’s episode is the first in a special series we will roll out this month.
Now that we are 125 episodes in and our audience has grown significantly, I wanted to revisit some of my favorite early episodes because they’re just so jam-packed with value and I’m willing to bet you haven’t had the chance to hear them yet.
So, for the next 4 weeks, we’re going to feature some updated episodes designed to help you in four key areas:
—List building
—Client Attraction
—Sales
—Confidence
Each episode you hear is also featured in our updated toolkits you receive when you take the Super Power Quiz. So, if it’s been awhile since you took the quiz or you haven’t taken it yet, press pause and visit dallastravers.com/quiz.
OKay… and now for the first in this special series…
We’re going to focus on list building because 65% of the coaches who join The Hive tell me that they want to build their list so they can expand beyond just offering 1:1 coaching.
That’s why I invited Brian Patacca to the show. I’ve had the privilege of mentoring Brian over the last few years and he’s just one of those people who elevates the energy no matter what room he’s in.
So, when Brian first decided to expand beyond 1:1 and make courses the center of his business, he knew he needed to build his list.
124. Does Your Marketing Confuse People?
Saison 1
dimanche 28 août 2022 • Durée 54:25
What are you known for?
When it comes to your work as a coach, how would your audience complete this sentence?
Oh… I know them… they’re the __________________ coach.
That blank… is really important. And if your marketing is at all confusing, you’ll get a different answer to that exercise from every person you ask.
Especially if you have a wide range of expertise.
And, if your audience is confused about what it is you do… they’re going to be confused about whether or not to hire you.
But there’s good news here. And don’t worry… I’m not about to tell you to niche down to only serve millennial college grads who work in advertising and want a new career… or women in their sixties coming out of a divorce who want to lose 20 or more pounds.
That may be your target audience, but it’s not your niche and it won’t be what you’re known for.
What you’re known for is your process. Your signature system. Your unique method.
And when you can communicate your unique method in your marketing, people get it.
Plus, you don’t feel boxed in or like a broken record talking about the same thing over and over again in your marketing.
That’s what Emily Taradash learned in today’s episode. You see, Emily loves to help people in a variety of ways. Whether it’s relationships, confidence, or career, Emily is your coach.

This is really common for values driven coaches. One reason being that we care a lot about our business and really want to help people.
And because we want that so badly, we're willing to put in the hard work. But it's that willingness to put in the hard work that can create chaos in our business and cause us to value action more than strategy.
So in this episode, I will walk you through how to tell if you're actually solving the right problem. Then, how to measure those decisions in a values driven way. And lastly, walk you through the system I live by and walk all of our Hive Members through: The Ripple Effect System.
If you're ready to stop throwing spaghetti at the wall and truly set your business up for success this coming year...grab a pen and paper and tune in!
TIMESTAMPS:
00:06:27 - Dallas shares a story about sharing the wrong problem in your business
00:09:00 - How our initial instinct is to solve a peripheral problem, but doesn’t move the needle in our business

The 3rd reason this episode matters is really just because as values driven coaches, we all have days where things feel hard and we wish we didn't have to be so visible.
As risky as it feels to put yourself out there, holding back is much more painful. So, I hope this episode inspires you in some way.
Okay… let’s get into it…
TIMESTAMPS:

00:25:00 - Dallas digs into what it looks like to find pleasure in making mistakes
00:30:00 - Together, they put together a plan to cultivate the self image qualities of someone who follows through
Laser and I cover a lot during today’s episode that I know will be valuable for you.
Let me share my biggest takeaways:
1. Do your goals belong to you or are they just the thing you think you’re supposed to do next?
2. What do you stand for? In other words, what are the core transformations or benefits behind your work? The reason you do what you do?
3. How can you use an area in your life where things feel easy, as a template for action in the areas that feel hard?
Those are 3 key questions we tackled during what is surely one of my all time favorite episodes. I hope you’ll consider your own answer to these questions as you listen along.
With that, please enjoy the show.
TIMESTAMPS:
00:03:02 - Laser introduces himself and where his business was at during the time of the recording
00:06:00 - Determining if Laser’s goal is actually his or just what he thinks he goals should be
00:11:30 - We address the part of Laser that feels gross about selling a coaching program to musicians
00:14:00 - I walk Laser through my approach to “sales”
00:20:00 - We talk through “how” Laser can market his program in a way that feels authentic and not “salesy”
00:22:00 - We put together Laser’s list building and lead magnet plan
00:26:00 - We dig into why lead magnet swaps feel “icky” to Laser so that we can tailor it to feel aligned in his business
00:32:00 - How to grow your list when you are guest teaching
00:33:30 - We break down the step by step actions for Laser up to this point
00:35:00 - Why it’s ok if your business doesn’t grow rapidly
00:39:00 - How Laser will know if the strategies he decides to “throw away”, are thrown away for the right reasons
And can you believe that he added more than 3000 new email subscribers in just 90 days?
No, he didn’t rely on paid ads. Instead, he relied on partnerships.
So, if you know you need to build your list in order to sell courses or group programs, grab a pen and notepad because Brian and I will take you behind the scenes of the exact process he followed to build his list through referral marketing.
TIMESTAMPS:
00:06:00 - The mindset shift that helped Brian build his list
00:08:45 - An overview of lead magnet cross promotion
00:10:00 - The results that Brian has seen over a 90 day period
00:15:30 - How to determine the lead magnet you should offer
00:16:45 - How to find promo partners, craft an invite letter, fielding responses
00:26:00 - What to do when it actually comes time to cross promote
00:28:30 - Overview of the entire process
00:32:00 - What you should know before you implement this habit
00:34:00 - How to balance promo partnerships so that you and your audience don’t feel like you’re always promoting
But this variety created confusion for her audience and I worried that folks would assume Emily was just confused.
Which is the opposite of what was really going on for her.
So, she and I let go of the shallow approach to niche and messaging and instead clarified her unique process. Which applies to relationships, confidence and career.
And it’s that process that Emily can be known for. Which gives her freedom to share a wide variety of expertise but link them all back to her clear process.
And just like that… people understand.
So… if the idea of niching ever leaves you feeling limited or you worry that your marketing might actually confuse folks… get ready to take some notes because this conversation is just what the doctor ordered.
Let’s get into it.
TIMESTAMPS:
00:08:00 - Emily’s niche journey and where she’s at now
00:012:00 - What Emily needs to change (and doesn’t) now that her niche is different
00:17:00 - How Emily’s messaging may need to change so that it doesn’t cause confusion for her audience
00:27:00 - How to find the “through-line” in your different offers
00:36:00 - Brainstorming an idea for Emily’s to create an ongoing community or membership program
00:44:00 - The structure to set up Emily’s power group
