Loving and serving people is at the core of who I am.""We've seen it in the business growth as well. When we had all the things, you think multiplication versus addition. But the reality is, the more narrow focused I've gotten, the better it's done.""I'm not saying I wish I could go back. I'm just saying I really enjoyed that time. I took a lot of very small lessons, a lot of very big lessons learned along the way."Resources Mentioned

Tweetable Quotes
"I take that 700 page book that you will never read and digest it into two parts, less than an hour. For some very famous people, or even some oddball people you've never heard of, I kind of do that process for you in a way that makes it interesting to most people, even if they have no interest or would define history as boring."

"If you're interested in podcasting, don't try to chase audience. Find something that you really like and want to do because you're going to last 10 episodes if you're not really jazzed by podcasting. You've got to find your niche, you've got to find an audience, and you also have to find something that motivates you to keep posting this stuff."

"I wouldn't have cranked out 150 episodes if I didn't love what I do. Clearly, I have thought about other topics, yet my perspective is I've known other podcasters who've searched out other topics and they found they didn't even do as well with their second or third topic because they got so stretched thin that the whole thing fell apart after that."

3. Experiment with different podcast formats to find what works best for you and your audience. Kelle's Spirit Sherpa podcast includes a brief personal update, a main topic discussion, and a call to action at the end.

4. Don't underestimate the power of your podcast as a business tool. Kelle shared that 98% of her business comes from her podcast, demonstrating its potential as a lead generation channel.

5. Consider using asynchronous communication tools like Marco Polo for coaching or client interactions. This approach can provide flexibility for both you and your clients, improving work-life balance and client satisfaction.
Memorable Quotes"I am an initiatrix. I stand in the doorway of initiation. I carry the energy of transformation. I can't do anything that is fluffy bunny. I can't. I can try and it won't work.""If you want to truly be magical, if you want to truly tap into all of your resources, you have to do the personal growth work because the limiting beliefs keep you from your power. And if you don't clear those, then you don't get to your power and your power will always be limited.""It's not what I do. It's who I am. My mother raised me in this work. I was five years old when she started exposing me to all of these things and bringing home education cassette tapes, because I'm that old."Connect with Kelle

FullCast – https://fullcast.co/
5 Key Takeaways
1. Speak to customers regularly. Eytan tries to talk to 1-2 customers per week minimum to understand their needs and pain points. This direct feedback informs product development and business strategy.

2. Identify your "MIT" (Most Important Thing). Regularly assess where the biggest bottleneck is in your business and focus your energy there until it's resolved before moving on to the next priority.

3. Challenge your own thinking. Eytan encourages disagreement and different perspectives to refine ideas. He enters conversations with strong opinions but hopes others will "trash" them to reveal better solutions.

4. Build resilience through experience. Facing and overcoming repeated challenges builds confidence in your ability to handle future obstacles. View setbacks as opportunities to develop this critical skill.

5. Right-size your banking for cost savings. Many businesses waste money on unnecessary fees or suboptimal account structures. Regularly review your banking setup to ensure it aligns with your needs and minimizes costs.
Tweetable Quotes"I hate quitting more than I hate suffering. This is the system telling me I don't work. I'm going to crush the system, manage myself through it so I can walk away on my terms rather than simply having the system give me low marks and tell me I'm not good.""My goal wasn't to say, can you get people's eyes for 35 minutes? But rather, can I have that conversation and bring a couple of nuggets that are then something I can take to the customers? That's really where the podcast started.""The best decisions, the best ideas, they definitely don't come from me. They come from people who are in the trenches, working on stuff, and they're like, 'Hey, what about?' And all of a sudden that turns into something really novel."Connect with Eytan
