Using Values As A Standard For Business
By Cheval John
I am trying something new in 2017 for Vallano Media, LLC.
Every Saturdays, I will be putting together a recap of What’s The Word? where you will see the show notes from each episode.
Today’s recap is the episode with the guest of honor, Dr. Betty Uribe.
Dr. Uribe shared about her upcoming book, Values: The Secret To Success In Business and Life.
The show was recorded first on the company’s facebook live page via the huzza.io live video platform before converting into an audio format to air on blogtalkradio.
You will hear about how she had to make a difficult decision to move to the United States with her mother and siblings
You will also hear about how people close to Dr. Uribe envisioned her dining with the most powerful people on the face of the earth.
And why she believes that having true values will allow anyone to be successful in their businesses and lives.

Building Your Audience Through Twitter Chats
By Cheval John
Carrie Morgan
Professional sports teams have used traditional advertising through television and radio in order to build a loyal fan base.
If you are an entrepreneur and are thinking of writing your first book, you should focus on having a loyal audience first.
Most publishers will not take you on as an newbie author if you don’t have that audience because they are in the business of making money.
And even if you are a self-published author, you must market in order to have a lot of book sales.
You might be thinking, “How do I build a loyal audience?”
One tactic that you can try is hosting a twitter chat.
When you host a twitter chat on a particular topic like public relations, you will be interacting with a lot of like-minded professionals who want to help each other to succeed.
Carrie Morgan built her audience through her #prprochat, got a publisher and launched her first book, “Above The Noise” which was endorsed by social media influencers like Gini Dietrich, Jay Baer and Ann Handley.
Ms. Morgan chatted with me on “What’s The Word?” about how she came up with the idea for her book and also why she went the entrepreneurial route.
Here is the interview below:
Working The Second Shift
By Cheval John
Most entrepreneurs begin their businesses while they are working full time for their respective companies.
When they finish their duties for the day as an employee, they go to work on their business for the better.
Dr. Harold Arnold describes these part-time entrepreneurs who are building their businesses in the term of working the second shift.
He came out with the book, Second Shift, and shared about how he wrote the book on “Starve The Doubts,” with host Jared Easley, where I served as one of the co-host of the show along with fellow co-host Renee Groskreutz for this episode.
Professional athletes are in a lot of ways like part-time entrepreneurs because they are competing on a daily basis compete in their respective sports.
Everyday on national media outlets like ESPN, NBC, we hear from pundits on what these athletes did or did not do to help their team win.
Their identity are immediately connected to the sports they play.
And most of these athletes are working in their second shift when they are building their very own businesses during their off season.
They understand that they have to do something different once they retire from their respective sports.
So in a lot of ways, part-time entrepreneurs can relate to professional athletes.
And there is nothing wrong with starting your business on the side while you are an employee.
As long as that businesses does not conflict with your place of work either in the sports industry, public relations industry, etc.
What’s The Word? Top Ten Episodes of 2015
By Cheval John
2015 was a challenging and fun journey with my show, What’s The Word?
I had the opportunity to meet some of the employees of BlogTalkRadio at Podcast Movement in Fort Worth, Texas.
They shared about the evolution of their platform and how it will enhance the audio quality of podcasters who are using their service.
The best part was discovering the live streaming platform called Blab.im where anyone can showcase their expertise if they are entrepreneurs, marketers or even sportscasters.
And the fact that they send you audio and video file of the show if it was on the record makes it easy for anyone to launch a podcast.
To me, blab is more interactive and you can engage with your audience while they are watching your live recording of the podcast.
With that being said, I will continue to use BlogTalkRadio because they are making improvements on their platform and I really don’t have to do much editing of the show.
And I am looking forward to what 2016 has instore for my show and also to uplift people who listens to the show for the better.
