Everybody, welcome in to another episode of Vision
Pros Live. I'm your show host, Jackson Callum,
founder and CEO of First Class Business. Guys,
I am like happy and excited today. One, I got
to help record a music video this morning at
one of the most panoramic scenes in Tulacan,
Ecuador. That was super awesome. And I've just
had amazing conversations with great people,
including Brian McDonald, who we have behind
the scenes right now. This is one of the most
impactful episodes that you could probably ever
have, is learning that with your vision, the
purpose of your vision, vision is to help serve
others and to realize that there's a correlation
between true cells and the art of being able
to serve, combining those two is super valuable
and important. So eat this up. We're going to
dive in as much as we can. I also want to give
you some other gifts here, some other resources,
people that I connect with on a regular basis.
One is Junaid Ahmed of Home Studio Mastery. He's
also the podcast host of Hacks and Hobbies. He's
a top 2 % podcaster globally, and he's behind
the scenes on so many different events. Podfest
to, I just forgot the name of the event that
he was just at over in North Carolina. Mark's
going to kill me. But either way, go check out
Junaid and Mark. You'll find it on Google. The
amount that Junaid does to help you make sure
that your studio is set up well, your audio is
set up well, the technology and the distribution.
Lean into leaders like that. One more leader,
Dr. Danny Brassell. Dr. Danny Brassell is one
of the world's best educators. And I am not using
hyperbole with that. You can check out his 300
plus testimonial videos from other educators
who say the same thing. He helps parents inspire
their children. to love and to have a passion
for reading through this program called The Reading
Habit. I'm always looking for ways to upgrade
the education and the resources available to
my own children. I hope you're looking for the
same. Dr. Danny Purcell has become one of my
best friends over the last year, and I hope that
we can take this to the 8 billion people on the
planet who need it. The same is true with the
Water Project over here. I'm not affiliated with
the Water Project, but we do want to inspire
others to contribute. When I found out about
it, I realized I've always taken for granted.
The fact that I've never been thirsty in my life.
And if I was, I had access to clean drinking
water. There are literally millions of people
who do not even have access to that. So as long
as I'm rocking this little microphone right here
and talking and using my mouth to promote things,
I want to make sure that I inspire you guys to
consider not only contributing, but if you're
not in a financial position to give back to the
water project. I'm asking that you talk to your
friends and family about it. Just bring it up
over lunch or over dinner with somebody and share
the link with somebody. You never know the ripple
effect of the good that you do there. You might
inspire somebody to invest $10 ,000. The neat
thing is some of their projects, you can invest
as little as $500 and it actually creates or
restores like a borehole well, as they call it,
or a sand dam. And they show you the project.
And when you invest, they show you that your
project that you invested, it came to fruition.
So again, we got 8 billion people to help in
this world. I think we can step up and do more.
It makes us feel good in the process. It restores
our soul while it also helps our friends, family,
the people out there in the world who really
need it. So without further ado, I'm going to
go back to Brian McDonald. Make sure that you
guys get served in this process as well. Let's
do everything we can to maximize your visions.
Brian McDonald, thank you for joining me on Vision
Pros Live. Thanks for having me, Jackson. I'm
going to dive into transformation. There's a
lot of people who think sales is transactional.
And they're looking at, well, how much do I pay
and what do I get out of it? Visionaries, if
you want to move to a higher level of performance
and growth, ask the deeper level questions. Brian,
what is your why? Why do you do what you do?
Oh, wow. That's deep. So I want to help other
people get what they want. Because I learned
a couple of things like I forget who was across
somebody that said, hey, what you give away,
you get to keep. And and and and I when I was
younger in life, like we struggled. My mom was
married a couple of times. Her second husband
was a drunk. We weren't we weren't super poor,
but my dad worked. I was living with my dad in
high school and he was working two jobs. And
I always yearn for this life of autonomy, this
life of freedom. And through what I do, I truly
help people do that because when I can help them
take their expertise or their skill and serve
other people with it, it gives them the autonomy,
the freedom, the sovereignty that they want so
they can make an impact in life. So when I say
what I give away, I keep is I give away to other
people what I want. uh, at the same time. Um,
and, uh, and we grow together. So, um, if I'm
doing that, if I'm making that impact, the money
will, will come. Um, uh, I put that over money
because, because money always comes like it's,
it's, it can't not happen. Love it. Absolutely.
We are out of time today. So I'm going to ask
a super deep question. Um, I'm hoping we can
bring you back. That's a big thing for me. I'm
like, I want to bring you back. There's so many
questions that I know visionaries can learn from
this experience with us both talking about how
to promote the vision, how to help people understand
the value of converting to whatever that vision
is. But this was the last chance we do get to
talk. Brian, what advice do you have for visionaries
out there? If you want to make an impact and
sell more, you have to be you. Be more of you.
Be more of authentically you. And go looking
for the people who are looking for you. I'm unabashedly
me. I'm not a jerk. I'm not anybody. I'm unabashedly
me. And what that does is that attracts. the
people that are looking for me and the people
that, that I work with. And no matter if I'm
in my business, in my life or doing something
like this, this is what you get. And, and that
has been freeing for me. And that has actually
driven a lot of success for me and helping other
people do the same for them. So stop, stop trying
to be somebody else in sales, just be you and
you're going to do fine. I love that. It wasn't
more than a few years ago, more than five at
max. When J .P. Sears made the greatest impact
on helping me do just that through his TED Talk.
Look up TED Talk, J .P. Sears, my friends, if
you want to lean in further. And I would say
even more important than finding the one resource
that can create some solutions is find friends.
Find mentors, people who want you to do just
that. So I'm going to be holding Brian close
in my life from now on, as close as he'll let
me. And I hope the rest of you as well join us
in that. In the top right corner, there's a button.
I don't know which way to point these days. They
flip the screen on me. But there's a button somewhere
on there that says, be our guest. You don't have
to be a world -class sales guru to be on the
show. You don't have to have a vision that's
larger than life either. If you're out there
helping people, come and share your vision with
us. Join us here on Vision Pros Live, and we'll
see you. guys all in the next episode. Take care,
everybody. Thank you for being here today. I'm
