Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Collaboration isn't just a buzzword out there. It's the secret sauce to amplifying your message, expanding your reach and creating something truly transformational, whether it's creating podcasts.

2

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: co-creating on the Gnostic TV network or joining forces in an anthology working together can really take your vision to new heights. And

3

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: today's episode, we're going to dive right into how and why collaboration works and trust us. You're going to want to walk away inspired and ready to take action. Hey, everybody welcome back to the mystic marketing, podcast where we show spiritual entrepreneurs how to amplify their message and or amplify their voice and monetize their message. I'm your host, Jill Hart, the coaches alchemist, and with me is Jay Mattta, the co-founder of the Gnostic TV network.

4

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Hey, Jake.

5

April & Jay: How are you happy New Year to you?

6

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Happy New Year to you, too.

7

April & Jay: Yeah.

8

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Today we're going to be talking about collaboration. It's like tapping into a wellspring of collective energy and creativity. And I know you've seen firsthand how powerful it can be, and especially in spaces like the Gnostic TV network. What's been your experience with collaborations? And

9

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: how how does it work to get your message out there.

10

April & Jay: So collaborations are the foundation and the and the sustainability. They're the everything of it all. I mean, I think, in today's world. If you. You know, when people try to launch a podcast, or show, and they really don't think. And they don't put collaboration as part of their

11

April & Jay: marketing effort or distribution effort. You know. That's that's, you know, sad, really, because then you're relying on all of you and everything you've done where there's a much easier way. I mean, for example, you know, if I know Joe has a show, and Jill knows I have a show. We're we're maybe we're maybe guests on each other's show.

12

April & Jay: We get to expose each other to each other's audiences. You know, we start to get creative on what other things we can do together. It's it's how these things catch fire. It's energy, I mean, spiritual entrepreneurs know this, and you know they know it's all energy, and we are. We are part of a collective and

13

April & Jay: you know. So when you think in terms of your podcast, if you if you're doing one and you feel like you're not having breakthrough collaborate more if you haven't done one, and you haven't had your breakthrough. Start the process of collaboration. Start it right from go. It really is. It's going to be a great, great way for you to get exposed to new audiences. In my opinion, Jill.

14

April & Jay: I don't think you can buy advertising. That's better than the right collaborations. I don't think you could. You know what I mean. It's like you're getting literally access to people who have taken time to build these relationships, and they're bringing you in. They're bringing you in as a guest in their house. So that's a that's an amazing thing. So just start to think like that. And you know, we've always said, Look, when you have a show.

15

April & Jay: Also, think about being on other people's shows. Be, do both, you know, especially in those beginning phases, until you can get yourself off the ground and launch, and then when you do get bigger and bigger, you know, pay it forward to people who are also trying to get off the ground. You'll you know, you know what you did.

16

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, and don't be afraid to to get help with that. You know, a collaboration is is great, and I think that's it's really part of the reason why group coaching is so powerful.

17

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: You know you can go and do one on one things with people and collaborate with just like one person. But when you start collaborating with groups of people, you you build a tribe, you end up with a tribe. There's just no other way to to express that.

18

April & Jay: You really do. And and you know, when you when you end up with a tribe I mean the magic happens, I mean, you know. Look at us. We get to do some cool stuff together from, you know, doing this together to anthologies, to, you know. You know, other ways of people to monetize. And that's what happens when you meet people. You know. It's

19

April & Jay: you know. It's no fun doing it by yourself. Number one. It really isn't. I mean, you know you you want to when you get your successes in life. The other big benefit of collaborations is

20

April & Jay: who you're gonna celebrate with. You know what I mean. You have to. You have to. You have to have someone that understands what you just went through that you can share that experience with. And that's what that's why the other reasons collaborations are so important. Because when you when you start, if you start to have successes and you don't have enough collaborations in there, you know. There's nobody to really talk about it with relish with it, celebrate it with, and then in turn, then you then it stops manifesting it. If that makes sense.

21

April & Jay: So there's so many benefits of this it manifested creates the greatest relationships. You'll meet your soul tribe, you know. The list goes on and on on this one. But collaborate, collaborate, collaborate.

22

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And it's not even just like like our relationship. I thought it was. Gonna look one way

23

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: a few weeks ago. And, man, it's like, totally different than what I had thought. And it was just from, you know, conversations we've had and doing these podcasts together, it's just it's evolved and grown, and it's it becomes an alive thing. When you you get 2 or more people together. It's just like it. It it takes on a life of its own. And so it can take you places that you

24

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: you may have imagined. But you probably didn't think that it was going to go that way, and and by bringing that energy in and allowing it to just grow organically into what it's supposed to be new and greater things.

25

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: just they spring up.

26

April & Jay: Yeah, they really do. It's amazing. So yeah, that's as you're right. And you know, you go in with these things with no intent and start off with a baseline and start to talk through it. But you'll be you will. You could be surprised at where these things actually end up. Remember as you're collaborating, you're manifesting. So if you associate that real time, then, when you're manifesting, then the right steps are now showing up for you more and more, and maybe maybe different. Like you, said Jill. It may be different than when you anticipated. But at the end of the

27

April & Jay: what was the result? How does it feel to you? Are you happy with the way things are going? And that's what you'll find out. You know it's it's a it's a great journey to really look at.

28

April & Jay: There's more than just like, said the mechanics of setting up the podcast again, the collaboration aspect of it, the the getting in alignment with your, with your family, your soul, family. And again, you know people just understanding your successes. So you know just I'm always I always rooting for people. I tell you I love to see people collaborate, Jill and I just see that. And I see with with predictability the ones that do have successes, the ones that don't struggle for successes.

29

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah. And it's not about having an agenda like you can have.

30

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I love the the podcast model, where you have guests come and chat, and I started out. It was honestly a fluke. I just saw coaches doing amazing things in the world at a time when I was feeling like God. The world was ending. And

31

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and I realized that no, there's these people that they're making a real difference in the world. And every time a coach touches somebody's life.

32

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: They changed not only that person's life, but everybody that's around that person. When you heal one person, you heal a family, you heal generations after that, and to me it was so important that they get their message out in a way that allowed other people to see what they were doing and to see what the options were for them. If they were experiencing these problems.

33

April & Jay: So.

34

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: The my. My point in all of this is that

35

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I learned so much interviewing all of these people, and I began to see, like some trends in what was happening for them that I could really help them with, so that they could get their message out in a more succinct and clear way which led to a coaching program that I have. But it's

36

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: it wasn't that I had the coaching program. And then I decided to do this podcast and then I was just going to talk to these people, and I was going to force them into this this situation that I wanted for them. It was, I allowed it to be a collaborative

37

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: experience for both of us. And anytime you're interviewing. If you've got a podcast I'm sure that you, you get what I'm saying, because

38

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: whenever you talk to other coaches, it's just like your own Mini coaching session.

39

April & Jay: Yeah, yeah, it really, it really is. I mean, you learn so much about it. People teach you what they're learning, and then you make it your own. You weave it in and out. That's how that's how these things grow. You know there's not a 1 size, you know the the ways of the

40

April & Jay: the ways of the unique, if you would, or the people that are you know, thinking that they're the only ones that have this or the they're the only ones that have that those days are just the Internet is the Internet is squashed that

41

April & Jay: you know what I mean, because there's a lot of people coming out, whether they're, you know, regardless. So you learn you want to learn from people as much as you can now, and and you know people will help you expand upon your gift, and if you take that on as a spiritual being, you'll realize that, you know doesn't matter. If you're a coach that helps people make millions of dollars. Or you know you're you're a health and wellness coach. Whatever you do, there's someone there that's going to help you do it better

42

April & Jay: all the time. It doesn't matter what what level or what stage in your career you're at. You know we all need each other is a real pragmatic way of thinking about it. To get through this journey in life, you know, and this is a great way to do it. We collaborate, we have fun, we do shows together. It's a great way to do it.

43

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And we share our experiences and and we allow others to share their experiences. I think that's what really attracted me to the whole Gnostic TV network in the beginning is, I could see that your reach is so extensive, and you allow people to get in front of others

44

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: that they can collaborate with. You have the the Guest Directory on there, where you know, if you want to get on the Gnostic TV network, and you're just like looking to get interviewed by other coaches or other Podcasters that are already on the network. It's a great place to, you know. Put your name in there. Well, well, people do go through it. I know I go through it. And I look for people that I want to feature on my podcast so

45

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and and I will reach out to other people that have podcasts on the network and ask them to put me on their shows. If I feel like, they're a good fit. It's a great place to start your collaborative efforts and

46

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: then hosting a podcast. On the network is a great way to expand your reach in a way where you don't have to worry about, you know. Did my guest say that certain word that's going to get me kicked off of Youtube, did they talk about something that is like.

47

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: culturally not acceptable. So I'm going to have to worry about whether I'm going to get

48

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: deplatformed by some of these bigger platforms out there.

49

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And these are real real concerns that Podcasters have when you talk to enough people, and you're going to run into people that are going to say things that are just not.

50

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: they may not even line up with what you believe or think. But if you, even if you have a very open mind. Sometimes they will say things that you're just like, I can't put this up because

51

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I'll get. I'll get kicked off the networks and Gnostic TV doesn't, doesn't do that to you.

52

April & Jay: No, no, we don't want to censor anybody. Everybody's got something cool to say. Look, play nice with everybody. Be nice, and that's good. You know what I mean, but also share your beliefs, because that's important for us to know what what you, what works for you in your life, because that's how we all figure out what works for us in our life is by someone else's experience. You know.

53

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And you never know where those experiences are going to go. I like to share the story about the spider goats

54

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: who live in our community, and

55

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I'll tell you about them. They're a group of goats that somebody was thinking, Hey, I wonder what would happen if we spliced Spider DNA into goats, and then we milk the goats and we spin the spider thread out of the milk.

56

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: This is a true story. It really does go on in our community. Actually, it goes on down at the University of Utah, down in Logan. So

57

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's like

58

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: who was sitting around thinking, I wonder what would happen if we cloned goats and spliced in spider DNA.

59

April & Jay: That's I know. And there you have it. Right? So wow, listen. I hope everybody's really getting the vibe of this and

60

April & Jay: you know, just really, just understands that when you start your podcast think collaboration right from go and then, and your life will be easy. And remember, when you do have a podcast doesn't matter

61

April & Jay: that you're in the you're in the world now. And so people even that you don't don't start to think about, you know who's bigger than me or that that you're already in it. You have this. You have now a common denominator with anybody regardless of the size of their podcast start collaborating, you know, invite them to be a guest on your show. They in turn, similarly, will invite you to be a guest. And this is how this is all going to work for you.

62

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And talk to us. You know we've got. We've got options for you that

63

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: can expand your reach, which is really what it's all about. It's it's reaching the most people that you can reach that are are looking for the solution that you're providing and that your guests are providing

64

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: we we have options for you. I do. Wanna to let you know that we do have a community over on Facebook. It's called the Mystic Marketing community.
