The origins of this watch go back to 1921, when Vacheron Constantin created a limited series of watches just for American motorists. The idea was to create a watch optimized for reading with your hands on the steering wheel, so the dial was rotated to place it at the correct angle for easy viewing. The high noon numeral "12" is actually 30% off axis and it freaks people out when the see it.

He said "THAT'S when you get to the honey hole" about three times so that basically attests to the amazing value we got out of this 😂 This year at Stardust Creative we are focusing heavily on how to build a strong personal brand using reverse engineering of what is taught in the entertainment industry as well as what actors go through to stay on brand throughout various roles and experiences. He shared his journey of the need to unbrand in order to rebrand in his career to shift into different roles, turning from a "shirtless RomCom star into an accomplished actor." Sooooo freaking dope. Life advice from McConaughey: 💚 Fill up your bank account AND your soul account. 💚 Pledge to be competent at your values. 💚 May you keep hittin' more green lights on your road of life!

I decline most brand deals. I went live on Instagram last night and I was asked “should you accept every brand deal that comes your way.” The simple answer is no. Here’s why I don’t accept everything: - You should spend more time building your brand than building someone else’s. Accepting everything will make you money quickly in the short term, but limit success in the long term. - Not every brand is aligned with mine or my company’s. I have spent years building relationships and if I start promoting things I don’t believe in (or promoting too much) I’ll lose credibility & trust quickly. It takes years to build trust and one wrong action to lose it. - It has to be something I genuinely like and think my community will like as well. Because if I don’t believe in it then 1). I can’t sell it. And 2). my community will not believe in it either. Protect your brand. Only rep the products you believe in. #justQ 🖤 …see more

I am a mentor, teacher, immigrant, writer, foodie, and the list goes on. A personal brand starts with you as a person. It is the interconnected web of your interests, passions, and personalities.

I've never really talked about this.. But the most impactful purchase I've ever made was a $40 hat on sale. It changed my life. It was one of the first purchases I made after struggling for so long trying to build my first two businesses. I wanted to be instantly recognizable and I wanted something to contribute to the Misfits brand/narrative that I was building. It's become my brand anchor. The most iconic one for me. And it sends a message about what kind of person I am before I even open my mouth. I used to think that how I dressed didn't matter. But even "not caring" sends a message.

I love wine. Making money in the wine business is another story. Years ago, my launch strategy for #OlearyFineWines was to avoid the ancient three-tiered distribution retail system and sell direct to my fan base in 41 states. Everybody knows I hate $h&t wine and anything with my name on it has to be spectacular because my family are bigger wine snobs that I am. I blend my offerings for them. If my wife Linda likes my Chardonnay I know I'll sell millions. Same for my daughter Savannah, if she does not like my Cabernet Sauvignon I don't ship it. To pull it off I needed a partner that would let me apply my wine making skills but at the same time could ship millions of individual cases direct to consumers.

Speaking at INBOUND! ✅ I was stopped maybe a little under 20 times over the weekend to take photos. Because they recognized my hat and saw my stuff on LinkedIn. And on the first day I turned to Israel and said, “this hat is the best decision I ever made.” And then after my session a woman stood up during Q&A and said this: I sent you a connection request after watching a few of your things. And you responded and asked me how I was doing & what I was working on. And we talked for a while. And that’s what matters to me. I had put you on a pedestal and you brought yourself down to my level. Thank you. That meant the world to me. I’ve heard John Henry & Gary Vaynerchuk talk about scaling the unscalable.

If there was a line graph that mapped out the trajectory of my life — there would be an upward spike when I purchased my hat. Because it helped me stand out. Made me instantaneously recognizable.

If you let me know in time I can try to comp you in.  I will say (and this is why I put this on LinkedIn) what I am learning from the six months I've been going up 2-3x per week has far exceeded what I feel I learned from starting and selling businesses. That is HARD. But this is even more difficult I find. One of these days I will summarize.  But in the meantime, come see me tonight! And below is an image of me, last night, taking a selfie while on stage with the audience in the background in the middle of my set. …see more

Today is my birthday 🎂 , and I’m thinking about gifts, though not the ones you might imagine. 🎁 When I work with leaders on crafting their career stories, I’m always searching for the essence of who they are. I'm a naturally curious person, so I'm fascinated to learn what makes people tick. I find the spark in each person and shine a spotlight 🔦 on it so that others are drawn—like me—to their presence. ✨ And over and over again, I find that people don’t appreciate or acknowledge their inherent gifts.🤦🏼‍♀️ You know that thing that comes so naturally to you? That thing that you take for granted because you assume others can do it too? They can’t.❌ We undervalue our gifts because we don’t see them as gifts at all. We mistakenly believe them to be mundane, unimportant and run-of-the-mill, and that they come easy to everyone else.🙄 They don’t.❌ Today, I’d like you to appreciate your gifts. Embracing them and putting them to their highest and best use is the greatest gift you can give to the world—and yourself.✅ What are YOUR gifts? 💁🏼‍♀️ Please share them in the comments below. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 #career #talent #gifts …see more

Yep. This is about you. Tip 9 of 20 in building a personal brand that actually WORKS which is ALL ABOUT YOU ALL! After all, you can't build a community without people. Amiriiiiight? An easy way to grow your digital reputation and online influence is to get together with like-minded professionals that focus on similar industries and collaborate! Dip into their community by offering co-authored articles/blogs or jumping on a podcast interview. Even speaking at a virtual event completely free of charge can prove beneficial for growing an audience. 👉PRO TIP: Build a list of 21 social media power users and follow them. Engage in their content frequently for two weeks and then reach out to them for an introduction. ⚡You may be surprised by what types of opportunities await when you collaborate! ⚡ So let me ask… are YOU ready to collaborate?!

The city you live in shouldn’t be an excuse not to create (with a few exceptions). Milwaukee is a “hot” city when it comes to content creators on LinkedIn. But it definitely wasn’t always like that. Shoutout to the creators that are crushing it in Milwaukee: My team: Israel , Chandler , Eric , Brema , Tess , Ken . Jackie & the Accelity squad. You’re inspiring so many. Sam , Tyler and the rest of the BLNK Slate team paving the way for young creators and entrepreneurs. Jeff , it’s cool seeing you guys grow. Send me a text when you get those 7 meetings 😎. Shay & Luke , you started in MKE & you’re crushing it all the same in Miami. 1). Don’t be afraid to step out and be the first. 2). Collaborate with the people around you. Use the comments to network. Where are you from? What do you do? Connect with each other.👇🏽 #justQ 🖖🏽🖤 #entrepreneurship #business …see more

Your WHAT: Goal / CTA Your HOW: Voice / Personality Your WHY: Values / Operating Principles Do you have your WHAT, HOW, and WHY outlined? Sales reps who use social media as part of their sales techniques outsell 78% of their peers. Leads developed through employees’ social media activities convert 7x more frequently than other leads. So what are you waiting for?! Master your personal brand. In this video, tip THREE, I share the importance of having values and top operating principles for your business, brand, and social strategy.

It still blows my mind that people pay me to speak on stages. Especially before I really understood the value that I brought. If I can do it, there is literally no reason why YOU shouldn't be speaking (if you want to be). And for aspiring speakers: ✅ I did a TEDx talk the first year I started speaking. I’m competitive and don’t like to be bad at things, so I did as many gigs as I could to improve. ✅ You are a business. Businesses evolve. So should you. ✅ It’s kind of like hiring a videographer. They’re not just paying for the equipment. They’re also paying for the years of work, knowledge, etc. ✅ It’s easier to speak if you have something to speak about. People wanted to talk to me about my business success. So I did. What lessons would you add? #justQ 🖖🏽🖤 #business #entrepreneurship …see more

I've been using the LinkedIn Newsletter beta feature. 👇 It's been a game changer. The reach is nowhere near my videos, but the results have been amazing: ✅ A large chunk of my 2020 speaking schedule is booked out. ✅ Increased numbers in our social media groups. ✅ I was able to launch my new solo #esports podcast and gain extra exposure there. ✅ Increase of follower growth. ✅ Leads for my company. My newsletter [Dear Strange People] is a series where I dive into the decisions I'm making from a personal branding, community building, and business perspective. But here is what I'm loving most: It is giving me space to be more creative with videos, because I can focus more on thought leadership in my articles. In a world where it's hard NOT to just show the highlight reel. If you can find a way to be real and dive deeper, you're more than likely going to have better results. Just something to think about for all the content creators out there. Quantity is important. But quality & depth will help you build deeper relationships. #justQ 🖖🏾🖤 #entrepreneurship …see more

I had a recent conversation on a podcast to which the host asked me, "how did you grow from 30k to 80k followers this year? What's your secret so I can grow, too!" Well, it's no secret, but rather a combination of things... Most importantly, I don't pretend to be anyone or anything else... because people can see right through the facade if you are playing one. This also means mastering your brand, voice, and values and create VIDEO content! Video is exceptionally strong and builds so much trust with strangers - but how do you do it RIGHT?! Well, don't FORCE it! Especially don't create content just to get numbers. Quantity doesn't always equal quality. I strike when the inspiration hits with batch creation! I share what I mean in this video in order to make more time for the important things in life... like health and wellness, adventures, and the projects that make all the magic happen! How do you create content? Do you schedule it or post when the inspiration hits? Who are your favorite creators and why are they your favorite?! Is it because of authenticity? A strong brand? Whatever you do, keep it real. #Innovation #SocialMedia #Marketing …see more

The reason that my business has grown so quickly: collaboration. The reason I've landed speaking engagements like VidCon, Inbound, and TEDx: collaboration. The reason that I have 20k+ followers on LinkedIn: collaboration. The reason that we were able to limit overhead in the beginning: collaboration. I hope you are seeing a pattern there. Too many people focused on competing for no reason. We're launching the #breakLinkedIn campaign through our video innovators group. The rules are this: collab with 3 people (video). This can be in the same video or separate videos. And then tag 5 people that you want to join the campaign as well. We want to see more people creating, collaborating, and going viral. Collaboration > Competition. Let's start walking the walk. #justQ 🖖🏽🖤 I'm nominating Zack Scriven , Gabriela Novakovic , Lila Smith , Tim Salau, Mr. Future of Work , and Israel Lugo III . …see more

I want to collaborate more. This morning, I was on Jordan Paris ' podcast and he said something that reminded me of how much I struggled building my first two startups. And it hit me that a major thing that got me out of that struggle was my love for people and their stories. I collaborated because I enjoyed learning from others. Not because I had a motive. I was just curious. And I want to do more of that. And do a better job of highlighting my team because they're badass. Thank you for chatting w/ me Rob Randolph .

I admit I have sales-phobia! BUT as a marketer, it is IMPERATIVE that I understand sales as thoroughly as possible in order to build the strongest marketing strategy possible. I always HATED sales. The selling side AND the buying side. The car dealership makes me break out into nervous hives and my stomach always flips going into T-Mobile. Being approached by friends in network marketing?! FORGET IT. I ghost like the worst friend ever. 👻 It was SO different as a girl scout selling sweet treats. 🍪 So I've been studying sales to kill this fear, understand the sales process, and amplify results. I'm finding that ABOVE ALL, it's critical to create an approachable, warm relationship before anything else. Here's a part of what I've been finding! I was specifically surprised to understand the best day of the week and time of day for correspondence... What do you think? What's one sales tip that changed the game for you?! Ready to take your personal brand to the next level? Message me and we'll get you leads that melt into your inbox like butter. But the pressure is on YOU to CLOSE THOSE SALES! #SocialSelling #DigitalMarketing #Sales #ChantelShares …see more
