615: Shaun Jay - Bright Ideas

The future of magic lies in the hands of our youth. This week we prove that the next generation of magicians is in good hands and going in the right direction as we speak with Shaun Jay. Shaun was on the cover of the M.U.M. journal in 2020 and has appeared on the “Masters of Illusion” on the CW Network. He is involved in making magic and magical things. And he respects the history, inspiration and mentorship of those with more years of experience.

Shaun has his own podcast which is totally different from The Magic Word Podcast but worth your time to explore.  See his “Making Magic with Shaun Jay” podcast video interviews at: https://YouTube.com/shaunjaymagic or you can listen here: http://bit.ly/makingmagiconapple

138: Dean Hankey - The "Dean" of Success

While recently in the Reno, Nevada area, I visited with Dean Hankey, the "Dean" of Success. We were able to catch up at the Reno/Tahoe Airport before my departure back to Houston. Although our time was short, we covered a lot of territory. In particular, Dean gave me a couple tips that I will immediately incorporate into my marketing efforts.

Dean is a pro who has done it all from the casino showroom spectaculars to the corporate board rooms over the past 40 years. And due to his extensive performing background, he can speak from those experiences, He can offer great, practical, "real world" advice. He leverages his money making marketing insights from the magic and entertainment industries to give inside tips services and strategies for optimal successful results. He also suggests incorporating free online tools that you can use in communicating with your clients and potential customers. He also discusses how to talk with a new client and what questions to ask to give them what they need rather than what they think they want. Basically, how to sell the experience rather than a product.

You can learn more about Dean and/or receive some Powerful Successful Solutions by visiting his website at: http://TheDeanOfSuccess.com or email him at: Results@DeanHankey.com for any specific questions. You can find him on Facebook at http://Facebook.com/TheDeanOfSuccess

Great little restaurant in Lake Tahoe with wonderful breakfast (corn beef hash plus biscuits & gravy) plus some pretty spectacular martinis, too!. What more could you want, morning or night?
