This episode could be called “Praying for a good episode!” I feel like the last few episodes I have been a rambling mess. Been off the rails. And had a completely congested nose! Omg! I was asked to be a back question asker’er on the Russell Brunson and Alison Prince ECOMM Smackdown! More specifically I was asked to be on the VIP Room Hot Seat as a reserve. “Mischa would you be on the hot seat? Just in case? I know you’ll ask a great question that will be relevant! Now this is quite a change from my previous life… Boy have I got a story for you! Where I was the last person you wanted on the call because I couldn’t hold my tongue! Now I'm being asked to jump on the Ecomm versus expert Smackdown to ask intelligent questions to do what I'm good at. And to be able to watch the technical workings of this Virtual Event, the hot seat, etc as a sale tool was awesome.

The title of this episode could be gold could be called paying for the perfect episode, praying for a good episode. I just feel like the last 234 Absolutely the last four episodes that I have recorded. I have just been a rambling mess been off the rails forgotten what I've been talking about been been congested in the nose. I honestly don't know if those episodes have even been published. But nonetheless, here I am trying again. And what I'm going to talk about today, I'm going to I'm going to do a good job, people. I'm going to do a good job. I'm going to stick to the point what I'm going to talk about today is I woke up the other morning. Gosh, this is horrible. Okay, I was asked to be on
Mischa Zvegintzov
this is going to be about a little bit of a success. Holy mackerel. So the other morning, I woke up still in some work. And and I checked my I was actually up pretty early and just made some coffee. It was probably 7:20am I done a little bit of meditation. I done my spiritual reading the Course in Miracles. Love the Course in Miracles. Where is it? Not? It's over there. But it was about 715 720. I checked my phone and my coach Vince. Coach Vince, what's up? Coach Vance had texted me "Hey, what are you doing right now? Are you available?" And so I responded back? Yes, indeed. I am available. And and I said, What's up? What do you need?
Mischa Zvegintzov
And so he said, he said, Oh my gosh, he didn't say oh my gosh, I just remembered the rest of the story. My brain, the neurons. The neurons finally released Holy mackerel. It's only taken me four episodes of Brad of blathering, I think to have the neurons start firing again. Oh my gosh, to have the neurons start firing again. Okay, here we go. This episode is ready to take form ready to take to take flight ready to take shape. All right, I was asked to be a backup q&a person on the EECOM verse, expert battle, the EECOM verse expert battle where you know Russell Brunson and Alison Prince they put on this three, four or five day it's not really a challenge, but it's Gosh, what my brain is so fried. What do you call them a like a live online? A virtual gathering that dammit my brain. Okay, I looked it up online. It was the ecom versus expert Smackdown. It was a live virtual event, an actual live virtual event. There's live virtual events that are live recordings, which I've done, which are amazing. God bless I love them. They're super fun, super valuable. This one was indeed live. Everybody was speaking live. But it was too...
Mischa Zvegintzov
Unbelievable. I look it up online and all the informations gone on it because it's past. Alright, I'm back. Try three. I found it the the Econ versus expert Smackdown. Just give us two short days and we'll show you how to create multiple streams of income using both physical and digital products. Sorry, this event is sold out get on the waitlist to hear more about our next virtual conference. Alison prance Russell bronze Brunson. So they did today. Whereas it virtual conference, it was live. They had a VIP room. And on this VIP room, they they were having hot seats. So the hot seats that's what it was. I was asked to be on the reserve Hot Seat person because I'm good at the hot seats in the two comma club X, the coaching group that I'm in, which is part of Russell Brunson and Click Funnels high end coaching group. We do hot seats which are awesome and Amazing, you can bring your question to the coaches.
Mischa Zvegintzov
You can be on a hot seat, they pull you out of the crowd, and then you go deep on what is your question? And it's awesome. And I've got to be on a hot seat with Russell before. So within the coaching, all the sudden, they're like me, she got a question on the hot seat. I said, Yes, I do. Anyway, so this live event, they were having hot seats, they were concerned that people would be that everybody was involved, all the participants that paid participants that had an opportunity to be on the hot seat that they would they would not understand how it worked. And so So or maybe the engagement wouldn't be good. So they wanted to have a backup person or two that could could come on the hot seat and ask a relevant question. And I'm fully in the middle of all this stuff that the the experts space, all in on what Allison and Russell are teaching and offering and and so Vince in the morning said, Hey, man, we want you would you be willing to be on the hot seat? Just in case like, I know, you'll ask a great question that'll be relevant. And I know you're working on something. So be ready. And I was like, Absolutely, I would be honored to.
Mischa Zvegintzov
So check that out. I want to fast forward 20 years ago when I worked for Bill Stopford. This is when I was in the tech industry. So I worked in the tech industry and I was selling data colocation, which is basically Rackspace and server farms. So this was in 1999. Year two thousand.com booms and full swing just about to crash. It's teetering on the brink. And yeah, man, so I'm selling. I'm working for I worked for one company for three months, get stock options. I'm at the time, what I thought was a lot of money was like $250,000 stock options. I'm rich, big dog!. completely broke, then all of a sudden, I have $250,000 worth of stock options. company went bankrupt a month later, stock options are worthless, because I didn't make the best investing period. I got a raise to go to another. Another company. And this is as the meltdown is happening.
Mischa Zvegintzov
And I'm working for Bill Stopford. This is but this was what Bill Stopford told me. My last name is Zvegintzov for anybody who doesn't know. And he goes Misha, you got to come up with a better name, a better tagline. He's like, you know me. My name is Bill and Bill Stopford. So, when I introduce myself to somebody I can say hey, my last name stop for stop Ford like, stop Chevy. But stop forward. You got to come up with something like that. God bless you, Bill. I never really did a very good job of that. But Bill, I'm working for Bill. He's my boss. There's a big corporate gathering teleconference at the time. 20 years ago, all the CEOs, all the big sales people, all the VIPs all the I O people were on their CIO CTO, you know, CIO, Chief Information Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Executive Officer, the VPs of this, the VPs of that.
Mischa Zvegintzov
And Bill says, Misha, I really want you to be on this teleconference. I really want you to be on there. But I'm scared to have you on there because I know you're gonna you just you won't be able to hold your tongue. Someone's gonna they're gonna you won't be able to keep your opinion to yourself, but I really want you to be on there it's going to be very valuable it will be good for you. You know, it'll be good for your career, whatever. But I don't think I can bring your accent I think you can hold your tongue. sec You got nothing to worry about Bill. You got nothing to worry about. He goes okay, so he brings me on there we make it to the whole teleconference. Guess what, at the very end, any final questions or comments? Misha raises his hand away? Yes, I do. Bill's face turns white.
Mischa Zvegintzov
And I just I start asking some really hard questions like, like, wait a minute, what you're talking about leaders of the company has holes. So I started asking some hard questions. And Bill did not want me to do it. And I couldn't hold my tongue and I did it anyway. And he was pissed and company went bankrupt. And I think I got I don't know if I got laid off or, or if I, or if the company shut down first doesn't matter. Fast forward to a couple of days ago 20 years later, 21 years later. Now I'm being asked to jump on the econ versus expert Smackdown to ask intelligent questions to do what I'm good at. What, how about that? Is that not amazing? So, I would just tell anybody that's listening to this that is not of my advanced age, knowledge and wisdom. And you're new to the whole career adventure, keep at it one day at a time, take your bumps and bruises. Your bike gets? I don't know, I don't know. There you go. That that I just wow, was a very exciting moment. For me. Another super cool benefit of that whole thing was, I really are we had on this episode, I might have to do a part two, I might have to do an econ versus experts. SmackDown, part two. Now that I'm back on my stream of conscious it started flowing was really cool to be on the day, it was really cool to be involved in the VIP. And to watch it from a step back. And to watch the process. So I'm going to talk about the process in another episode. Or maybe I won't, I don't know. But it was really cool. I'll just finish it out here. Yeah, I'll just finished out here.
Mischa Zvegintzov
So you know, usually when I'm involved in something like that, I'm swept up in the emotion of it, the inspiration of it, the salesmanship of it, I'm learning, I'm being inspired, and then I'll buy at the end, right. But this time to be on it from a little bit of to be able to step back and watch the technical workings of it. I took some notes. So I just wanted to talk about that. So it was very cool to be able to, to watch the process. And basically it's like Russell's perfect webinar, Google Russell's perfect webinar. And if you can watch him doing his 90 minute presentation on selling, you know, he sells different things at different points. But to watch that process be condensed, or that framework be used in the q&a? Right, he did a q&a different than the hot seat, but doing the q&a. Right. So doing the q&a, and, and vetting the questions in a way that is selling along the lines of the perfect webinar or his frameworks. Right, the the secrets, the social proof the vehicle you know? It's very cool.
Mischa Zvegintzov
And then I and then to see how the the hotseat was structured actually the same sort of a way right there pulling the questions from the hot seat from the audience to build an arc right to build that arc the secret 123 arc the Go Go get.com Secrets of tiding back that I have it up over there I should have it in my link. I think I'm an affiliate for.com secrets but I haven't got my act together to have the links in the in the show notes by now. Oh, I will say this subscribe subscribe right there. The subscribe should be right there click Subscribe would you but it was very cool to see to see all the bits and pieces of the smackdown to see the sales structure of it the marketing structure of it the the the way that the q&a was designed to talk about the vehicle the new vehicle, the internal false beliefs externals false beliefs and then and then the social proof super cool super powerful. I hope it's ok that I talked about that but that's what's happening in these conferences Don't delude yourself any conference you go to. That's what's happening. They're building you up they're getting you excited there but there's these other things that are going on because now that I'm really in this space I'm really in this one to many selling space. when I got to see Russell do is offer stack a couple times truncated and little different ways super fun. It's so fun to watch Russell Brunson do his offer stack live. I mean, if you ever have an opportunity to watch Russell do his offer stack live do it. Be wary though you will probably buy. Lord knows I did a couple times. But it's really interesting to watch, like these multi day events where, you know, day one, like watch how people do it. Day one is like, inspiring you or giving you the hope. Right? It's like, full, you know, the hope and then day two is execution. And Day Three is this or, you know, there's usually an arc to it to to create belief in you. And so then you buy and hopefully have success. Anyway, I've rambled on enough. Thank you for listening. See you next episode. Subscribe, give me a thumbs up Cheerio.
