In This Episode Dale Miller Shares:
That he was a successful lawyer before inventing Chin-Up Strips.
His wife had always complained about his snoring but it wasn't until he had a case where a man had a fatal accident that he recognized that his difficulty sleeping could be deadly.
He had a Sleep study done and it confirmed that he had Sleep Apnea. He was prescribed a CPAP machine which he said changed his life but he still had a problem with mouth breathing at night. His doctor told him that if he could "find a comfortable solution to having your mouth breathing at night probably you would sell millions" so that is what he set out to do.
Dale invented Chinup-Strips which are simple medical tape that you simply put on before you go to bed to prevent mouth breathing with your CPAP device. You no longer have dry mouth, lower CPAP pressure, and you can use the little nasal pillows Instead of having to wear a big mask.
Dale credits growing up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin for his can-do attitude.
Dale was surprised at the amount of opposition from the Medical devices and ENT community regarding his invention.
Selling Chin-Up Strips and making a huge difference in his customer's sleep has been immensely satisfying for Dale.
Dale advises people to pay attention to your sleep patterns, pay attention that you're dreaming. Pay attention that you're not mouth breathing and snoring. If you are, get medial help!

In this episode Bob shares:That originally he wanted to be a lawyer until he met some. Accounting for Bob was initially just a course to keep his GPA up in college and not something he wanted to specialize in.Accounting allows him the freedom and opportunity to pursue creative outlets.Bob shares that his girlfriend at the time got him his first job out of college as a Controller for a hotel.Bob was one of the first people in his college to actually use a computer in the work force.Bob sees a lot of people that compare themselves unfavorably to their friends and colleagues perceived financial situations and despairing because of it.Like al lot of us, Bob's parents did not prepare him financially with good habits because they did not know any better themselves.Emotions play a larger role than many might think when it comes to financial decisions and beliefs. Bob finds that Fear is a huge driver when it comes to money. People are often afraid of what they don't know about money coming back to hurt them. Others believe that they are 'imposters' because their financial journey hasn't been as difficult as others. Bob views a healthy relationship with money as being one where he is comfortable with the money that he as and the ability to live within his means.Bob reiterates that not all debt is bad. Debt can be very helpful when starting a new venture. It is when debt is used inappropriately (like a blank check) that it becomes a problem.Bob advises giving oneself a 24 hour waiting period on major purchases and/or using someone else as a sort of gatekeeper to have to run major decisions by, even if that is not the case.

In this episode Dan shares:
That he developed his Social Media On Steroids course after someone pointed out that DrumTalk TV was achieving 900% more online reach and engagement than its competitors.
Dan considers himself an introvert which I found surprising.
Dan preaches that "There's a lot of people who are forever learners with no action. With learning and no action, the knowledge is worthless without application of the knowledge. There's no progress, and without progress, it's all for naught. Just put it out there and do it!"
Dan has been playing the drums for 52 years.
"If you're 1% better for a hundred days and you do it once a day, guess what? You'll be a hundred percent, in about three months. That's an amazing leap."
Dan used to want to be an oceanographer but Dan's dad ruined that for him when he took Dan to see Led Zeppelin in concert.
Dan doesn't follow the herd mentality in life or in marketing.
Dan mirrors the legendary Zig Ziglar's philosophy when he explains, "If you give people more of what they want, you'll get more of what you want."
Dan loves teaching and sharing wisdom.
Dan credits the NSA (National Speakers Association) with helping him realize that he could apply his methods to other industries.
Dan says that before you can find your tribe you first have to find who you are and what you can offer them. " I encourage people to take a piece of paper or they could do this on the computer and draw three circles that intersect in the middle. So you get that sliver like this and in those three circles, and one of them, you write skills in one of them, you write opportunity. And in the other one, you write desire and your skills are, that's kind of obvious your attributes. What you're good at your opportunity is who are you connected with? Who are you connected with? That's those are opportunities. Your desire is what do you really love to do? What makes you happy? And when you fill some things in those three circles where those three circles intersect with that sliver, that's what you should do."
Dan encourages others to take an almost brutal look at their businesses and ask people that are NOT their friends to evaluate them. Friends are less likely to give you the objective feedback that you need.
Dan dislikes the term 'avatar' and prefers 'persona' instead as he believes it more accurately represents a potential tribe member. He also beleives that you can have more than one target avatar or persona as people's experiences can vary widely. There's age ranges, there's genders, there's culture, there's race. There's social strata, economic and political mindsets.
Dan credits his parents with helping him to develop his own positive mindset. He came from a very loving family and it wasn't until he reached high school that he realized that was not necessarily the norm for everyone.
His Mom originally wanted Dan to be a drummer but to her credit (almost a year had gone by since he announced that he wanted to be a drummer instead) she helped him find his first paid touring gig when he was 15.
Dan went on tour opening for bands like Blue Oyster Cult, Styx, Heart, and others, all at the age of 15.
