Exactly What to Do - Storytelling with Brad Cochhrane

Friday, September 19, 2025 • Duration 45:40

“It’s easy to find me…I’m the guy walking around with a bicycle under his arm.”

If you are late to meet a storyteller, THAT is the text you want to receive.

Earlier this year, I was on the floor of the Northwest Event Show in Seattle, and I was trying to find Brad Cochrane.

Brad has something I wanted — a foolproof process to improve my storytelling ability. I run workshops on this stuff, and I’m always trying to find a competitive edge.

He’s got that edge.

He calls it the Story Wheel. It’s a cross section of all the best storytelling skillsets you’ve ever heard of, and he just shared it on The Playbook.

Join me and Brad as we show you Exactly What to Do with telling better stories — you can stream the show RIGHT NOW at https://www.speakupgetresults.com/goodiesradioshow.

Oh — and he was serious. He was indeed walking around with a real, ridable bicycle tucked under his arm. He tells THAT story on the show too.

Exactly What to Do – E.J. Corporan on Networking

Season 10 · Episode 145

Wednesday, September 17, 2025 • Duration 45:57

Here’s something that’s kinda awful to admit.

I once dropped out of journalism school because I was terrified of networking.

During a radio production class, I had to go out onto the street and do interviews with passers by.

It was terrifying, and I vowed not to do that anymore.

I have a feeling my experience would have been different if I’d run into E.J. Corporan.

This guy makes Networking seem like breathing. Moments after I met him at MPI’s WEC, he was acting like we’d known each other for years.

I knew I neeeeeeeded him to talk about his secrets on the radio show.

So this week - Exactly What to Do tells you how to be like E.J. and win with networking.

And you don’t even have to drop out of journalism school to get it done.

Exactly What to Do - How to be aware

Season 9 · Episode 131

Wednesday, April 9, 2025 • Duration 46:16

What's ACTUALLY going on?

You'd be amazed by how you think differently, feel differently and act differently when you peel away the layers and ask that one question.

What's ACTUALLY going on?

Your awareness is most of the battle when it comes to work and life. Understanding what's beneath the superficial surface helps you navigate emotion, expectations, understanding, challenges and escalations.

This episode right here is designed to turn you into the Jason Bourne of awareness.

Segment 01 – Key rules.

Stoooooop with the judgment already. Instead, be truly curious and accept the insights.

Segment 02 – Be "self" aware.

Get ready to develop a Life List that includes values, what makes you feel better, and what triggers you to feel worse. Then, measure against that baseline.

Segment 03 – Be aware of others.

If you knew that someone was having a really, really difficult time, you'd be more empathetic and compassionate, right? Well...here's how you use that curiosity to understand what's going on around you.

Segment 04 – Be "situationally" aware.

Read the room. Here's how to look for everything from power dynamics to social cues.

Exactly What to Do - How to get motivated*

Season 9 · Episode 130

Wednesday, March 19, 2025 • Duration 48:00

Motivation is a scam (how's that for a clickbait headline?).

If you've ever seen something that makes you feel like you can take on the world, only to watch it fizzle out an hour later...this is the show for you.

Things are tough out there right now, and it can be nearly impossible to keep your head up and move forward with confidence. Here's my Playbook for doing exactly that.

Segment 01 - Make the commitment.

What is motivation? How to create a purpose. How to establish an environment for yourself.

Segment 02 - Build discipline and habit.

"Don't rely on 'motivation' for anything. It's fleeting and unreliable. Discipline, however, is unyielding.'" How to establish Process/System/Habit. Why you should read Atomic Habits.

Segment 03 - Get moving.

The importance of visibility. How to make micro actions. The value of ritual. How to get soft accountability working for you.

Segment 04 - Bonus secrets.

Rest. Setbacks. And what the heck is D.O.S.E.?

Exactly What to Do - How to pitch more effectively

Season 9 · Episode 129

Sunday, March 2, 2025 • Duration 46:20

Pitching is about people.

Yes, yes, you've got a great product...and service...and value proposition.

But f you try to bring it to the people by telling everyone how great you are...you're not pitching. You're gambling.

Don't gamble. Looking to land a job, a client, a second date? Remember these four things...

Segment 01 – Remember that it's not a "moment."

You win most pitches when you understand that it's the exclamation point to a sentence, not the entire sentence. Build likability, trust and rapport FIRST.

Segment 02 – Understand how your audience "buys" and "rejects."

Your pitch isn't about you and your awesome product/service/idea. It's about your audience, and if you don't know them well enough...you won't win often enough.

Segment 03 – Frame your story to trigger your buyer.

What is your pitch about? Careful. Pick the wrong thing, and you can lose. Pick too many things, and you can lose. Much of your sale will come right here,

Segment 04 – Stop making these mistakes.

You're pitching to a real live person – and if you're not thinking about this stuff, you're creating a recipe for disaster.

Season 9 · Episode 128

Wednesday, February 19, 2025 • Duration 46:05

You got the job. Congratulations?

Now what?

Do you get out there and start making waves in your new gig, or sit back and take it in?

What you need...is a plan, and this week's episode gives you the exact plan you need to succeed in any new engagement...

Segment 01 – Get off of autopilot.

Win with four specific, and helpful skills.

Segment 02 – Your 4-step plan.

Listen. Win. Recommend. Execute.

Segment 03 – Network Better.

Make an Influence Map. Learn about great coffee. Go to all that social stuff you hate.

Segment 04 – Be known for something.

How are you MIRV? What can you recommend? What's your internal "cause?" Are you a "connector?"

Exactly What to Do - How to ace your job interview

Season 9 · Episode 127

Saturday, February 8, 2025 • Duration 49:53

Job interviews are harder than they should be.

And a big reason for that is that we don't step back and think about what it takes to succeed with a job interview. Instead...we hyper focus on individual questions, and try to think about what they mean.

There is a better way, one that starts with not getting into the cattle call challenge for a job interview...and instead, building relationships beforehand. TO learn more about that, check out Episode 125, "How to look for a job."

What can you do to ace a job interview? Try these...

Segment 01 – Build a "personally moving" business case.

You aren't a person applying for a job. You are a brand making a connection. Here's how to do that by driving outcomes for the business and influencing the individual.

Segment 02 - Deliver smarter answers.

To deliver a better answer, look to media and presentation training. It's about what triggers you'r audience, understanding what they're really asking and delivering a MIRV answer.

Segment 03 - Try four secrets.

How well are you using gathering time, asking questions, being genuinely curious and following up? These can set you apart.

Segment 04 - Think of it as a performance.

Bring your best self to the table and learn how to project confidence and break into the brain of the interviewer.

Exactly What to Do – How to apply for a job (this one's about resumes)

Season 9 · Episode 126

Wednesday, January 29, 2025 • Duration 48:01

Resumes suck.

Not ALL of them, but way, way too many of them.

As someone who has worked as a professional CV writer in the past, I have a hunch as to why:

We don't actually THINK about our resume. We just sort of follow a template of telling people about us.

But here's the thing – many people don't care about us. They care about what we can do for them. And to that end, your resume isn't your story.

It's your print ad.

The "job" of a resume is to move a sales cycle forward, and get you an interview.

That's it.

And that's why you might want to re-think how you put that one pager together. On today's episode, I share The Playbook that once got a non-hockey executive interviews with actual NHL teams. Listen up...and make your resume (+ online presence) stand out.

Segment 01 – Get off of autopilot.
Do the same thing, get the same result – and in this case, that's not a good thing.

Segment 02 – Write a better resume.
Introducing the "matrix" approach to publishing your story.

Segment 03 – Write a better resume (continued).
An idea so big, it's going to take two segments to cover it all.

Segment 04 – Little things.
Cover letters. Humanity. And the importance of "asking for the business."
