  • S01E23 - Structuring Your Genius – Presenting Magically Express (Part 2)
    Apr 20 2025

    Welcome back to The Result Show! In this second episode of Presenting Magically Express, we unlock one of the most powerful tools any presenter can learn — how to structure your genius.


    If you've ever been asked to "say a few words" on the spot… if you've ever panicked while staring at 109 slides… or if you've ever wanted to speak confidently without clinging to notes — this episode is for you.


    Discover the Format System, a simple five-part mental framework that will let you:


    - Speak confidently with zero prep

    - Deliver your message clearly and persuasively

    - Engage all learning types in your audience

    - Structure training, pitches, talks, or even landing pages

    - Feel prepared (and even excited) next time you're asked to speak

  • S01E22 - Presenting Magically Express 1 – The Power of State
    Apr 13 2025

    Welcome to Presenting Magically Express – a brand-new series within The Result Show focused on teaching you how to present with power, presence, and purpose using NLP.


    This first episode dives into the most important (and most overlooked) skill in speaking, performing, or showing up in any high-stakes situation: Your State.


    You can be the most skilled speaker in the world, but if your state isn't right, your message won’t land. In this episode, you’ll learn how to:


    :: Understand why state matters more than skill

    :: Recognize how great performers "get into the zone"

    :: Use the ancient Hawaiian technique of Hakalau to instantly shift into a powerful flow state

    :: Apply this to public speaking, driving, performance, interviews, and everyday life

  • S01E21 - Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow – The 4-Part Engine of a Thriving Business
    Apr 6 2025

    No, it’s not clickbait. “Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow” is the classic model of how an internal combustion engine works—and in this episode of The Result Show, Pete and David reveal why it’s also the perfect metaphor for building a successful, sustainable business.


    This is a must-watch for anyone in coaching, therapy, or personal development who’s ever said:


    “I’m great when people are in the room—but I struggle to get them into the room.”

    Attract the right audience (not just anyone)

    Warm them up to buy using trust and value

    Close powerfully and ethically

    Deliver a world-class experience that leads to referrals and repeat business


    This episode lays the groundwork for a new mini-series on Presenting Magically Express and Selling Magically Express—but it also stands alone as a clear breakdown of business flow.

    12:08 – 15:49 | The “Squeeze” Phase – Warming Prospects to Buying Temperature

    15:50 – 19:15 | The “Bang” – Why Sales Are Often Missed and How to Fix It

    19:16 – 22:52 | The “Blow” Phase – Delivering So Well They Can’t Wait to Come Back
