Wealthy and Well-Known Podcast

Tyler Dickerhoof spent years responding to difficult moments by putting his head down and pushing harder. As he began to examine that pattern, he saw its effect on the people around him. 

Tyler joins Rory Vaden to discuss The Things We Hide and the four ways he says insecurity can appear in leadership: intensity, insensitivity, inactivity, and isolation. They talk about recognizing those responses, acknowledging them honestly, and asking others to help you see what you may be missing. 

Tyler also shares how he built his coaching and speaking work gradually, beginning with a book club and making room for the family life he wanted along the way.

What would it take for your business to thrive after you step away? 

Rory and AJ Vaden discuss the choices founders make when they want to build something lasting. Beginning with a visit from their sons, they explore who might carry a company forward, how to prepare future leaders, and why the purpose guiding a business has to be understood beyond the founder. 

AJ shares how she communicated a new vision to their team. Rory explains the people, processes, and products a business needs to operate without its founders. Together, they consider what a sale or succession can mean for the company and the people whose lives are tied to it.

A job posting tells candidates what they'll do. Your reputation gives them a sense of who they'll do it with. 

Rory and AJ Vaden discuss how leaders can use their personal brands to attract the right people and build a team that stays. AJ shares what strong candidates ask during interviews, why she has become more visible in Nashville while hiring locally, and how she writes recruitment letters that explain the vision behind an open role. 

They also explore honest job expectations, fair compensation, and ways a smaller company can create opportunities that appeal to talented people.

Maggie Berghoff built her company around the life she wanted to live. What began as a one-on-one health coaching practice grew into a multi-seven-figure business that now helps health professionals build companies of their own. 

In this conversation, Maggie joins Rory Vaden to explain how she created a high-ticket offer before she had a large audience, why she eventually focused the company around one audience, and how repeating the same proven launch helped her grow without constantly reinventing her marketing. 

They also discuss the shift from organic content to paid advertising, Maggie's decision to invest as much as $180,000 during a launch, and the simple way a new entrepreneur can begin serving people today.

Before a producer books you for television, they may have to convince an entire team that you're the right person for the segment. What can they find that helps them make that case? 

Rory Vaden sits down with Jamie Maglietta, an Emmy-nominated producer and media strategist with experience at CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC, to unpack how experts earn media opportunities. They discuss what makes a pitch relevant, why articles and podcast interviews help establish credibility, and how to build relationships with journalists before you have something to promote.
