VIP Café Show – Youngstown, Ohio – Local Guests with Amazing Impact to Our Community
Friendships begin based on numerous circumstances. Many are created because of similar interests and hobbies. For example, being part of the same sports team or maybe being a member of the same academic club. Other friendships are formed based on proximity or what neighborhood you grew up in. Whatever the reason, having a good solid friendship is a wonderful thing.We believe Podcasts are very similar to friendships. They are many times created by a few people who have common interests and share a similar vision. They are generally formed to help “inform” others about a variety of topics and subject matter. The question many Podcasters ask themselves is….why me/us? With so many options to choose from as a listener, what makes one Podcast better than another? We believe it all begins with….a good host or pair of hosts! That is exactly how The VIP Café Show came to fruition. Two friends, Greg Smith and Brian Blasko had a conversation while enjoying a cigar on a cool crisp January evening and the rest as they say…is history.The VIP Café Show was created to inform, educate and entertain listeners from the great city of Youngstown, OH. Although The VIP Café Show listeners reach far beyond the Youngstown area, the primary focus of the show is to highlight local “Youngstowners” and to hear their story. The Podcast also dives into a variety of fascinating topics besides Youngstown. Greg and Brian love discussing leadership, public speaking, customer care, team building, and life in general. They are always fascinated by what makes people tick and how people became (or are becoming) the person they are today! The VIP Café Show is a fun and informative program that engages the audience with every interview, conversation, and dialog that transpires.

E16: VIP Café Show featuring Jonathan Altfeld of Mastery Insight Institute

Jonathan Altfeld's education evolved as an interdisciplinary odd combination of English, philosophy, and computer science. Inevitably, that led him down a path to Artificial Intelligence. His first career was in AI.
After a number of years doing that, and winning a conference award for one of his AI projects, he began looking for something that would help him unpack experts’ knowledge with greater effectiveness.
What Jonathan found led him to train with the same people Anthony Robbins trained with. He didn’t go to Robbins; Jonathan went to the source.
Most people know what it's like when they find something that is truly a calling for them, where they’re an absolute natural – that’s what that was like for him. Jonathan discovered he was a sponge for nuances of language and how they reflect and affect our bodies, our minds, our beliefs, and our future behavior.
From there, one can apply that anywhere, since language is such a critical foundation of everything we do. Armed with these tools, he began developing courses to help people become better communicators, better at people-reading and nonverbal awareness and influence, more charismatic, better at managing their emotions, better speakers on any platform, and how to break through their emotional challenges to get better results.
When Jonathan spoke about the nature of genius and mastery at Youngstown TEDx, he was living in Tampa Florida at the time, but behind the scenes at TEDx, he met Cassie who was also speaking at TEDx that year, a native of Youngstown with an utterly captivating speech, and ultimately, three months later, they began to date, long distance. Jonathan and Cassie joke that they’re the only members of the site TEDxDating.com. 😉
