In the end I went with my gut and decided to release it and let you decide what you think about it. 

12 years ago I read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and it left a really big impression on me. I always dreamed of speaking to Robert and letting him know how inspired I was by his book and how it impacted me. 

Well today my dream came true but it wasn’t what I expected. 

Robert has some very strong views and it really came across in this episode. 

I won’t say anything more as I want you the listener to have an unbiased opinion. 

This is by far the most shockingly candid interview I have ever done. 

For those of you with sensitive ears I must warn you that there is some strong language used. 

I’d love to hear your feedback so please send me an email to daniel@gefenmediagroup.com

It was HIGHLY HIGHLY practical. I don’t think there was an ounce of fluff in the whole hour of content.

James Schramko has made over 10 million dollars online with a team of just 6 people.

The best part? He spends 4 days of the week surfing and hanging out with his wife and 5 children.

How? By outsourcing, optimizing and automating EVERYTHING.

 

In this fun yet value dripping conversation James shares:

  • How to scale an insanely profitable business with a lean team
  • How to work less and earn more
  • How to communicate effectively with a virtual team
  • How to keep your best workers by giving them unlimited freedom
  • How to get more done by switching off from social
  • Why you should never have meetings on Monday morning
  • Why sales funnels don’t work
  • The TEA formula for creating content
  • The I, You, We Method for training staff

And a bucket load more value bombs …

OH and there’s a little surprise in the middle that involves James and I rapping and beatboxing like Eminem .. drowning .. after falling off a cliff and rolling most of the way down.

Like things are never really ok?

Well my guest today calls those mental roadblocks and she has discovered a way to remove them. Permanently.

Erin Pheil had the outward appearance of a successful life,, awards, speaking engagements, a beautiful home in the mountains on a river, an agency generating millions of dollars. And yet inside she felt like a fraud, inadequate, and unsuccessful.  

 

These mental barriers completely held her back from ever deeply enjoying a truly rich life.

 

She had tried therapy, Self development, journaling, pills, willpower, meditation among other things. Nothing seemed to work. Until finally she stumbled upon a system that completely ELIMINATED the majority of mental roadblocks holding her back.

 

Today she helps other high achievers get out of their own way.

What we discussed:

  • How to remove any mental roadblock. Permanently
  • Why therapists are a waste of time (and money)
  • The difference between mindset and belief
  • How to achieve more through elimination
  • Dealing with the war in your head
  • … and MUCH MORE

  • Interesting highlights:
  • I go under mental surgery
  • I challenge Erin on her very bold claims

My guest today has made a small fortune while saving lives by making soap.

Yes you heard that right.

David Simnick made the first batch of soap in his college apartment kitchen.

Eight years later his products are in retailers across the nation including major chains like Wholefoods, Target, Right Aid and Walgreens to name a few and nearly three million donations have been made.

SoapBox Soaps is an all-natural personal-care company that donates a bar of soap to those in need around the world for every item sold.

 

As always to help introduce my guest I have put together a short rap … Here goes …

Some people are dying and can’t cope. The answer is as simple as soap. This entrepreneur did something dope. He gave them hope, made a difference for people on a slippery slope.

Saving millions of lives, that’s how he thrives.

Business aint just about acquisition, it’s all about the mission.
You can make an impact no matter your position, whether you’re a baker or beautician, salesguy or technician. It comes down to your ambition.

So without further ado I welcome to you,

The soapbox slick, healer of the Sick
He’s the one and only David Simnick!

Soapbox Soap: A story of Hope

What we discussed:

  • Why purpose driven businesses are far more likely to succeed.
  • Why your mission isn’t enough, the product has to be excellent
  • Why you should share your beliefs openly
  • How can you help achieve what your buyers want?
  • Why you need to put yourself in your customers shoes
  • Why business IS personal
  • How to find your purpose… and MUCH MORE

  • Interesting highlights:

  • David describes how he learned how to make soap from scratch
  • David talks about how he hustled his way into Wholefoods
  • David shares the number one reason for his success

David’s #1 practical advice: 

You gotta run a business like a business

This Mother of five coaches multi-millionaire business owners and hosts the recently launched Business Breakthrough Podcast!

As always to help introduce my guest I have put together a short rap …

Here goes …

Turning ideas into money, now that’s her honey, living in LA coz it’s nice ‘n’ sunny.
Super down to earth, She’s even kinda funny.

  • Why successful people are often more depressed and suicidal
  • What mindfulness and self help have in common
  • How to get clarity of mind, purpose and vision

Interesting highlights:

  • The biggest thing I learned from writing my book
  • Why I almost scrapped my book 6 weeks before publishing it

Can the choice of words you use mean the difference between failing and succeeding in everything you wish to achieve?

Do your words really shape your reality?

My guest today believes the answer is a resounding YES!

After an unexpected divorce, losing her first child, having to raise an autistic son and manage a stressful business Mary Shores hit rock bottom.

She spiraled into a deep depression and found herself losing all hope.
Until she discovered that by simply changing the words she used she could take back control of her life.

As always here’s a short rap I prepared for my guest.

Sometimes life ain’t fair, who could prepare for such despair.
Feelings of depression, the wild obsession, Therapy session after session, spiraling deeper in recession.

But then a moment of insight, we don’t have to fight for the right to ignite.

Life doesn’t have to be blurred, it’s all in the power of the word, liberated like a free bird. It may sound absurd.

Too good to be true, says the pessimistic you, but she’s living proof, that it’s true.

So now without further ado, I welcome to you, someone who can help open your doors, it’s the one and only Mary Shores!

 

What you will learn:

  • Why your choice of words are more powerful than you think
  • The magical connection between the spiritual and physical
  • How to speak your dreams into reality
  • How to handle difficult situations
  • … and MUCH MORE

Interesting highlights:

  • Mary scaled her company to 8 figures
  • Mary and I get emotional about something very dear to me
  • I told Mary why I almost cancelled the show

Which ones should we listen to and which should we ignore?

My guest today is the author of the groundbreaking book ‘Seduced By Consciousness’

DR Jack Pransky is a leading expert on The 3 Principles – A revolutionary discovery of how we think based on Inside-Out Understanding.

He is also the author of several other books including: Prevention from the inside out, What is a thought?, What is Wisdom? and Somebody Should have told us!

As always I prepared a short rap to help introduce my guest … here goes …

 

Looks are deceiving it’s all about believing and perceiving. Millions of thoughts you’re receiving.

You may think it’s dumb but when the insights come. You realize there’s nothing to overcome. No need to succumb. Your fears and worries go numb.

If you feel yourself sinking it’s only your thinking.
It’s like poison you’re drinking.

You don’t need to think to blink or prove somethings pink
Let your thoughts flow like water down a sink

Stop trying to think it through
There’s nothing to do, it comes from out of the blue, so just be you and you’ll discover it too.

And now without further ado, I welcome to you, the man who can truly see he’s the one and only DR Jack Pransky.

What you will learn:

  • How to prevent getting angry
  • How to avoid getting stressed out
  • How to deal with negative thoughts
  • Learning to observe your thoughts instead of getting caught up in them
  • How to shift our perspective so we can live a better life
  • How thoughts can change the molecules in your body
  • … and MUCH MORE

Interesting highlights:

  • Jack Shares how a clinically depressed patient become well without drugs
  • Jack describes how a heroin addict cured herself

Jack’s #1 practical advice: 

Question what you think is real

I recently appeared on Joshua Spodek’s podcast show and he asked me questions I have never been asked before.

He dug deep.

Very deep.

I was very vulnerable and shared things I have never shared before (including the nicknames my high school bullies called me)

It was such a great conversation that I felt compelled to include this as an episode on my show.

So here it is …

What we discussed:

  • How I rebuilt my self esteem
  • Why I never prepare for a speech or a show
  • Why I don’t think most things are a big deal
  • Why I think that i’m very selfish even when I give
  • What I believe the difference between heaven and hell is
  • How to be comfortable in your own skin around anyone
  • How I dealt with having an emotionally crippled father
  • … and MUCH MORE

Interesting highlights:

  • Joshua and I talk about the power of being completely candid
  • I was called ‘spider face’ in high school
  • I open up about a very raw event

 

Daniel’s #1 practical advice: 

It's only a big deal until you've done it

It was completely life transformational and I often go back to it to ‘sharpen the saw’ and always discover new golden nuggets.

When I found out that there was going to be a movie based on the book I was thrilled and today I have the pleasure of picking the brain of one of the people featured in the upcoming film.

Brandon T Adams was recently listed as one of 7 Millennial Influencers to Follow in 2018 by BuzzFeed and dubbed ‘Crowdfunding Expert Turned Media Mogul’.

As always I have put together a short rap to introduce my guest. Here goes …

Crowdfunding king, that’s part of his thing, could you believe he started on a shoestring?

Live to grind, this guy will blow your mind, his business is streamlined, average was left behind

Think and grow rich, scratch the entrepreneurial itch, gotta ditch the negative mindset witch and make the mental switch.

Napolean Hill, It’s part of the thrill, There’s no special pill, just hard work you know the drill, but this guy also knows how to chill.

He’s not one of the randoms or delusional phantoms … he’s the one and only Brandon Adams

 

What you will learn:

  • How you can change anything by believing you can
  • How to become known as an expert
  • The importance of self branding
  • How to get media attention
  • How to think and grow rich
  • 4 ways to becoming an influencer
  • The importance of surrounding yourself with great people
  • How Brandon got to be featured in the Think and Grow Rich Movie
  • … and MUCH MORE

Interesting highlights:

  • Brandon bought out his father’s company
  • Brandon grew up with a speech impediment
  • Brandon has helped his clients raise $1.5 Million this year
  • Brandon’s goal is to become a billionaire by the age of 40

After getting kicked out of his foster home he was sent to a group home where he was introduced to drugs at the age of 13.

He stole a car whilst drunk and high and almost got into a gun fight with the cops.

He ended up in Jail and that would have been the end of the story …

Except someone believed in him.

That spark of belief turned his life around and Dan Martell
went on to build 5 technology companies, hired over 500 people, raised millions in venture capital and invested in over 30 companies

He has been fortunate enough to have been mentored along the way by many of his friends including the founders of Airbnb, Dropbox, Uber, Hootsuite and even Sir Richard Branson.

And now to help introduce him I have put together a short rap.
Here goes …

 

This is the story of a man named Dan.
Who had no plan. So he ran and ran. Destined for a short life span.

Speed racing. Cops chasing.
Jail Cells, he found himself pacing.
But one man taught him the key to embracing.

From solitary confinement to personal refinement.
Belief set him free, Now he leverages ADHD

Speed of light is his super might, mediocrity is his kryptonite
He’s on a mission to set things right. And help ignite, never giving up the fight.

You can only keep what you give away.​ So helping others is how he spends his day.
And now without further delay.

Here to share his journey through hell, I welcome to you the one and only Dan Martell

 

What you will learn:

  • How Dan went from drug dealer to top angel investor
  • The importance of surrounding yourself with smart people
  • How to create powerful processes for your company
  • Why you need to produce content online
  • How to connect with major influencers
  • The importance of hiring a mentor
  • The power of believing in yourself
  • How to scale up using systems
  • … and MUCH MORE

Interesting highlights:

  • Dan’s mom got him arrested when he was 11 years old
  • Dan turned his life around after he met someone who believed in him
  • Dan built 5 technology companies – 2 failed and 3 were successful
  • Dan became a millionaire when he was 27

I was having a down day today and then my guest cancelled on me last minute.

So. I decided to use this as an opportunity to share with you how I handle having a down day.

You probably only see all the ‘good stuff’ in my life. You see me as the energetic happy go lucky productive entrepreneur.

But that’s because you only see a snapshot of my life. I only show you the ‘good bits’.

In this solo episode I decided to share some of my ‘not so good bits’ like …

How I got bullied in high school

How I recorded my first episode 17 times

How I differentiate the voices in my head

How I deal with having down days

Life is full of ups and downs and it’s all about gratefully embracing our highs and gracefully accepting our downs

Enjoy the show

My guest today went from growing up as a poor immigrant raised by a single mother to becoming a self made millionaire, best selling author and inspirational leader

Pejman Ghadimi is what I would call a super achiever.

Some of his accomplishments include
Creating over $50 million in annual revenue from one of his companies he no longer runs but still owns 100% of.
Generating Half a million dollars in annual profits from a royalty based business.
Launching 10 books. Of which his latest has become the 2nd best selling self published book in the world with over 350,000 copies sold.
Creating Secret Entourage, an online support platform for entrepreneurs visited by well over 2 million people a month

To help introduce him I have put together a short rap …. Here goes …

 

Raised by his Single Mom, this guy’s far from dumb.
His rule of thumb is don’t be a bum, If you wanna be someone.
Making money in ninth-Grade, now he’s Self-made, Astin Martin was a nice upgrade
Fast cars, hangin with stars, VIP bars, what’s next? A trip to mars?
How about stopping the sabotage, learning to arbitrage, in the Secret Entourage

False beliefs you need to shake, There are risks you must take,
Don’t expect overnight success for goodness sake.
And when you get too greedy think of the needy.
It’s funny how Money ain’t as sweet as honey.

So without delay i’m excited today to welcome a guy who ain’t no cliche … the one and only Pejman AKA P.J

 

What you will learn:

  • Why you should never start a business to make money
  • Why making quick decisions is LESS risky
  • The difference between a product and a business
  • The difference between a business and a brand
  • The difference between a brand and an empire
  • The importance of self honesty
  • The 5 pillars of entrepreneurship
  • Learning the Universal Formula of Business
  • Why self awareness is the best skill to have
  • … and MUCH MORE

Interesting highlights:

  • PJ explains how he made a million dollars before the age of 23
  • PJ begged Mcdonalds to clean their floors and was turned away
  • PJ spends 15 mins a day on his company that does $50 million a year in revenue

PJ’s #1 practical advice: 

Find ways to create value for others

To say that Alex Charfen is an inspiration would be a severe understatement.

His company CHARFEN, appeared on the Inc. Magazine list of fastest-growing private companies in America three years in a row and has been responsible for helping over 6 million homeowners facing foreclosure.

His company has also structured deals for organizations like Fuji, Samsung, Cannon, and Walmart that totaled in the Billions!

Today Alex is an internationally recognized speaker and business consultant, who has helped tens of thousands of entrepreneurs grow and scale their businesses.

Here’s a little rap I put together to help introduce him …

From the moment he was born, his life was torn,
Working from the age of 8 to put food on his plate. He decided his fate, it’s not too late to recreate. Don’t hesitate it’s never checkmate.

From financial gain to going insane, Boy did he feel the pain. But realised it’s all in his brain. And now he lives to train.

He didn’t struggle alone, didn’t just save his own, he helped people save their home,

So what’s holding you back, he’ll get you on track, coz he’s got a knack so join his pack. And give your excuse the sack.

Now let me introduce the man who will help us sharpen, here’s the one and only Alex Charfen

 

What you will learn:

  • Why entrepreneurs feel alone
  • Why you have always felt different
  • The 3 habits of a successful entrepreneur
  • The 4 types of personalities
  • The scientific breakdown of an entrepreneur
  • Why we become complacent and what we can do about it
  • Why entrepreneurs don’t have time for feelings
  • How to become truly alive by hunting
  • How to gain constant momentum
  • … and MUCH MORE

Interesting highlights:

  • I open up abut something I haven’t spoken about before
  • Alex get’s so passionate he starts to cry
  • Alex opens me up

Magazine!
Virginia Salas Kastilio went from working for Apple and then Oracle to becoming the
founder of Gini-can-breathe, a PR, social media and influencer marketing firm that helps businesses build influence and online awareness
Some of her clients include Uber, The BBC, The Nasdaq and Adobe to name a few.

But don’t think she was an overnight success. Virginia attended 15 schools in her childhood and had to fight her way out of two bankruptcies.

She is also the founder of the I Trust You Movement where she is on a mission to bring people closer together – one hug at a time.

Here’s a little rap I put together to help introduce her …

Giving a hug is the new drug. So join the club.
Coz the outside’s just steel .. the inside is real. It’s how we truly feel and this is how we heal.

Her trip to school wasn’t cool. Her life was a whirlpool and she felt like a fool. But now she runs on hydrogen fuel.

From struggling and going bust, she’s risen from the dust and now she spreads trust. Getting to know her is a must.

Snapchat is where it’s at. If you want your wallet to get fat. It’s not just a matter of fact. Don’t let your brand fall flat.

Social Media Queen, She likes to make a scene. Branding is her theme. And you want her on your team.
Internet marketing guerrilla, she’s the opposite of Vanilla and her name is Virginia

 

What you will learn:

  • The 3 steps to becoming an influencer
  • How to be successful by being shameless
  • Why Virginia stripped down to her underwear on the streets of NY
  • What you can learn from Justin Bieber
  • What you can learn from Casey Neistat
  • The biggest mistakes people make on social media
  • 56% of followers on Snapchat see your content
  • How to create viral content
  • How to find real happiness
  • … and MUCH MORE

Interesting highlights:

  • Virginia took 4 flights, 2 trains and a bus to get to school
  • Virginia interviewed homeless people about happiness
  • Virginia’s video was seen by over 10 million people
  • Virgina shares how she became the #1 Snapchat Influencer

At the age of 17 he turned $50 into $100,000

He also has launched multiple tech companies including Liveleap which is the largest syndication platform for Facebook live and brought in $480,000 in revenue in the first 3 weeks.

Oh and on the side he earns $75,000 a month consulting for other companies.

As always heres a short rap i put together to introduce my guest

His story is insane, can’t wait to pick his brain.
Was broke as a joke
Sleeping in his car didn’t think he’d get very far.
But now he’s a tech star.
Making cash in his sleep, created liveleap, he’s the black sheep and his mission is deep.

On a race to Space, it’s not outta place,
launched companies on a shoelace,
Crazy challenges he’s gonna face
Even death he needs to brace.
But if that’s the case.
He’ll leave his trace.
His Legacy he must embrace

Some think he’s crazy but maybe just maybe they’re just too lazy and their visions hazy

But if you’re looking to win then listen to him his name is Joseph Lazukin

  • How to make your own space suit
  • What is takes to go into space

As always I have prepared a short rap to help introduce my guest.

From classroom to cage. He took to the stage fighting for front page.
knocked out cold on live TV, it ain’t supposed be be Easy climbing the ranks of the UFC
Life’s a fight. Every single day. You struggle you play, you balance you sway.
It ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. Not just winning and KO’s, hit with multiple blows, getting a bloody nose but it’s better than hiding, in your sha-dows.
Pursuing his goals for 25 years, through the blood sweat and tears.
He came out with victory, rewrote his history and it’s no mystery
Why he returned to teach to help you reach.
The Spaniard is his nickname, his claim to fame is winning the game and he wants to help you to the same.

So without further ado … ladies and gentleman

What you will learn:

  • How to fight for your life
  • How to become great at anything
  • Why you should put yourself in a corner
  • How to have complete conviction in yourself
  • How to get back up when you get knocked down
  • Why Charlie decided he wanted to punch people in the face
  • Why Charlie decided to leave fighting and start speaking

  • … and MUCH MORE

My guest today is on a mission is to run across every country in the world in the next 20 years.

That’s 195 countries which will cost him an estimated $5million and a ton of worn out shoes!

Akshay Nanavati is an ex-marine who was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder on his return from his deployment in Iraq

His solution? Run like crazy, Make History and Inspire others along the way.

Here’s a little rap I put together for him …

As An Ex Marine he saw the obscene, hard to stay clean from the drugs at 18
Post traumatic Stress Disorder, pushing him close to the border .
The mental trauma and all the drama, led him to find Fearvana
And now he runs across the world. Coz he won’t be told. It’s just too bold. It’s way too cold, danger you WILL behold.
From the North to the South Pole, will it fill up his hole?
Running became his new drug, to unwind and unplug , to re-ignite and face the fight.
From Existing to Living, from taking to giving. This man will stop at nothing.
So whatever the day, come what may he’ll still run and his name is Akshay

 

What you will learn:

  • Why Akshay decided to run across every country in the world
  • How Running can substitute drugs and other addictions
  • How Akshay manages to run a company while travelling
  • Why experiencing the world will make you a better person
  • How Akshay mentally and physically prepares for his trips
  • How Akshay plans on funding his $5 million world record
  • How other cultures help shape your perception
  • How to overcome your fears
  • … and MUCH MORE

Interesting highlights:

  • Akshay spent 5 days trekking though -40 degree weather
  • Akshay talks about the most life threatening experiences
  • Akshay estimates it will cost him $5million to run across the world

Akshay’s #1 practical advice: 

Exploring the world will change your perception on life

My guest today built her house from scratch by watching YouTube video tutorials!

Hope Brookins was 17 years old when her family had to leave their home due to a domestic violence situation.

In nine months, her family built a 3,500 square foot home and at the same time rebuilt something more valuable. Their family.

After going from such a traumatic situation to feeling empowered, Hope went on a mission to help inspire others.

Along her journey she worked for former President of the United States Bill Clinton as well as 14 U.S. Congressmen, and many local politicians.

Without consciously realising it she was learning the greatest lessons of branding which would later become her secret weapon.

Her first branding client was her own family. She crafted a plan and within just 48 hours her family’s story travelled around the world.

In less than 2 weeks their story was shared in over 1,000 news outlets in over 65 countries.

Today Hope is a Powerful Publicity Strategist helping people go from obscurity to celebrity.

Here’s a little rap I put together for her …
Through tough times and violent crimes her family read between the lines.

In a desperate situation they were found, they rebuilt their home from the ground.

She went from powerless to powerful. Hopeless to hopeful.
Panick and fear. Losing everything dear.

Crying, drowning in desperation but now she’s become, the inspiration .

So If you wanna demand attention, give yourself an extension.

She’s the master of brand, the grander of grand and she lives in Twitter Land.

She’s the one you go to when your image ain’t dope and you really can’t cope

So it’s no surprise her name… is … Hope.

 

What you will learn:

  • How to get featured in the media
  • How to craft a compelling story
  • The 7 types of story frameworks
  • How to pitch yourself to contributors
  • The 6 components that cause things to go viral
  • Is it still worth getting featured on TV and Radio
  • What you can learn from President Trump’s campaign
  • The difference between staff writers and contributors
  • … and MUCH MORE

My guest today was diagnosed with a rare case of cancer. But that didn’t stop her from being named Canada’s Top Female Entrepreneur 2 years in a row and one of Canada’s 100 Most Powerful Women.

Kelsey Ramsden is nothing short of a powerhouse.

She juggled raising three kids and gruelling cancer treatments while building a 50 million dollar empire.

Among her portfolio of companies are, a children’s monthly subscription service, a construction company, a residential project management company and a business consultancy firm.
Kelsey has won dozens of coveted awards, has been featured in countless publications, has inspired tens of thousands of entrepreneurs – and mentors in the Richard Branson Centre for Entrepreneurship.

Most recently she launched her new podcast show “Futureproofing” which I had the pleasure of appearing on as a guest.

Now here’s a little rap I put together for her … ok her goes ..

Canada’s top female she was named, coz her passion is inflamed.
She’s future proof so don’t confine her or she’ll break the roof.

You see, Entrepreneurship runs in her blood and she’ll trudge through the mud,
to make it to the top and never stop.

No more dying just keep trying.
The voices in your head are lying.
Through tough times she didn’t abandon coz she’s a fighter like sampson.
She’s now a mentor for Richard Branson. Cancer tried to hold her ransom but tt failed. It didn’t know it was dealing with Kelsey … Ramsden.

 

What you will learn:

  • Learning the art of playfulness
  • How to respond to tragedies
  • Avoiding the disbelief trap
  • Why Cancer was her greatest gift
  • How to build your self confidence
  • How to get make your first $100,00
  • Why most people have lost their marbles
  • How to know if you should quit your job
  • How to know if you are living someone else’s life
  • … and MUCH MORE

Interesting highlights:

  • Kelsey was named Canada’s Top Female Entrepreneur for 2 years running
  • Kelsey battled cancer and almost lost everything
  • Kelsey shares how she got kicked in the face
  • Kelsey built a $50 Million business empire

My guest today got fired from Facebook and lost $100 Million which is what his stock would have been worth today!

He also lost $1.7 million worth of stock by walking away from his job at Mint.com

I would say he’s probably lost more money than all the people I know combined.

And yet he has become a huge success. In fact he has built multiple products that have generated more than 7 figures and has grown his email list to over 700,000 followers

Today Noah Kagan is the Chief Sumo of Sumo.com which offers free tools to help grow website traffic. Oh and by the way he spent $1.5 million to buy the domain!

His blog known as OKDork.com is where he shares his wild obsession with tacos and reveals what has worked for him in business and in life.

Most recently he’s become the host of the ‘Noah Kagan Presents’ podcast show where he chats with other successful entrepreneurs.

I have been a huge fan of Noah for a while and look forward to receiving his witty yet highly enriching emails.

I didn’t think I could do him justice with this intro so I put together a short rap to give him the welcoming he deserves … ok here goes …

He’s a little bit of a Joka and his head looks like it was shaved with a Mowa but he’ll take you out of your self induced coma. He lost it all and fell Lowa and Lowa, before he rose to the top and now he’s got what to show faw. So listen to his advice and he’ll show ya, how to ignite your business like a grenade throwa . He may have got fired but now he’s the Owna.
Stop getting stuck, stop going slowa, pick up the pace and let me introduce to you the one and only .. Noah!

 

What you will learn:

  • How to surround yourself with people that are great at things  your not
  • How to challenge yourself to get better results
  • How long should you take to validate a business
  • What steps to take to validate your idea
  • How to tap into your existing resources
  • Noah’s $100 challenge
  • Noah’s Coffee challenge
  • My elevator challenge
  • … and MUCH MORE

Interesting highlights:

  • Noah was fired from Facebook which cost him over $100 million
  • Noah has built an email list of over 700,000 and an 8 figure business
  • Noah challenges me at the end of my show

Noah challenged me to write my book by April 10th 2018 or I will give every listener $20

My guest today went from putting out fires to putting out people’s fears

Cole Hatter went from saving lives as a fireman to almost losing his own life in 2 tragic accidents. One of them left him in a wheelchair and took the life of his best friend.

It was a turning point in his life and he found himself physically, mentally, emotionally and financially broke.

Fast forward a few short years and Cole has built several multimillion dollar businesses and is the brainchild behind one of the most talked about events known as ‘THRIVE’ Where World class business leaders including Robert Herjavec, Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone and James Altucher, to name a few, take to the stage and inspire the packed out crowd each year

He’s also become a successful author, award winning speaker, philanthropist, water sport enthusiast, adrenaline junkie and traveling fanatic. But most of all he’s a dedicated husband and father to 2 little girls.

Now i’ve never done this before but I came up with a short rap to really give my guest the intro he deserves. Ok so here goes …

I’m not a rapper and hope I don’t flatter but It wasn’t given to him on a silver platter and he’s not all hot air and chatter; so follow him and all your fears will shatter. Because he’s not just about getting your wallet fatter but more importantly making your life matter. Now give me a rat tat tatter and help me welcome …the one …and only … Cole Hatter…

 

What you will learn:

  • What Cole learned from starting 30 businesses (25 failed)
  • How to become more patient by finding your passion
  • How to go from being crushed to crushing it
  • How to stay focused on your goals
  • Why patience is crucial to success
  • How to deal with major setbacks
  • How to connect with influencers
  • How to make your life matter
  • … and MUCH MORE

Interesting highlights:

  • Cole lost both his best friends in 2 freakish accidents
  • Cole has built 37 houses for homeless people in Mexico
  • Cole has started 30 businesses and 5 have made him a millionaire

Today I will be picking the brain of a serial entrepreneur who knows a thing or two about starting, growing and selling businesses. In fact he has retired 3 times!

Joseph Isaacs has started, developed and sold numerous businesses in a range of industries back in the 1970’s way before I was even thought of being conceived.

His various ventures have included a construction company, Womens Swimwear, a consulting firm, a telecommunications company, property portfolio, a gourmet cheesecake manufacturer and even a bank … yes .. a bank.

His latest exciting business venture, which he co-founded with his son is an interesting twist where popsicles meet alcoholic cocktails.

Buzz Pop Cocktails are the first and only adult frozen drink in a push pop. Their fresh fruit Gourmet Sorbets are infused with Premium Liquors. As they like to say …’A full drink in every push-pop allows you to “Lick your way to Paradise”’

It is my pleasure an honor to welcome to you a business connoisseur, real estate mogul, creative thinker, published author, adviser, investor, self made millionaire, husband of 17 years and father to 3 but most importantly a really great guy!

  • Why staying laser focused is the most important key to success
  • Tools for building a highly profitable business
  • Why people fail in business in today’s world
  • How to avoid getting distracted in business
  • Using traditional tactics in a modern world
  • The power of not being afraid to ask

Today I will be picking the brain of a serial entrepreneur who knows a thing or two about starting, growing and selling businesses. In fact he has retired 3 times!

Joseph Isaacs has started, developed and sold numerous businesses in a range of industries back in the 1970’s way before I was even thought of being conceived.

His various ventures have included a construction company, Womens Swimwear, a consulting firm, a telecommunications company, property portfolio, a gourmet cheesecake manufacturer and even a bank … yes .. a bank.

His latest exciting business venture, which he co-founded with his son is an interesting twist where popsicles meet alcoholic cocktails.

Buzz Pop Cocktails are the first and only adult frozen drink in a push pop. Their fresh fruit Gourmet Sorbets are infused with Premium Liquors. As they like to say …’A full drink in every push-pop allows you to “Lick your way to Paradise”’

It is my pleasure an honor to welcome to you a business connoisseur, real estate mogul, creative thinker, published author, adviser, investor, self made millionaire, husband of 17 years and father to 3 but most importantly a really great guy!

 

What you will learn:

  • Why staying laser focused is the most important key to success
  • Tools for building a highly profitable business
  • Why people fail in business in today’s world
  • How to avoid getting distracted in business
  • Using traditional tactics in a modern world
  • The power of not being afraid to ask
  • How to avoid getting overwhelmed
  • Why entrepreneurs can’t retire
  • Building a virtual team
  • … and MUCH MORE

Interesting highlights:

  • Joseph has built and sold dozens of successful businesses
  • Joseph shares how he got Kevin Harrington to join his business
  • Joseph is currently the co-founder of Buzz Pop Cocktails – A cross between a popsicle and alcoholic cocktail

My guest today was born with his 2 feet pointing backwards.

The doctor said he would never be able to walk … well he proved that doctor wrong and became a high-ranking submarine diver in the Israeli navy. Chosen among 4000 applicants of which only 21 made the cut!

Whilst he was physically at a disadvantage he had something more effective. Mental toughness and the belief that he could achieve anything he desired.

Meir Ezra made his first 100 million dollars when he was just 31 years old!

He is the creator of Timemaker, a software program that has revolutionized the way thousands of businesses manage their communication.

He also established the most successful distributor of gasoline management systems, as well as building over 20 companies in 26 different countries!
Meir has consulted giant corporations such as BP, Motorola, IBM as well as, entrepreneurs and small business owners across the globe including the US, Canada, Israel, Italy, Colombia, Russia, India, China, Romania, the Dominican Republic, South Africa, Germany, the Czech Republic, Turkey amongst others. His most recent company, The Success Engineers, is a training, coaching and implementation company that helps its clients succeed beyond their wildest dreams

Among other projects he has lead the implementation of the most successful drug and prison rehabilitation programs and Introduced a revolutionary study technology to schools which helped thousands of school children increase their ability to learn and converted a failing, low rated school into one of the highest rated schools.

He has also contributed several million dollars to charitable organizations.

And when he’s not busy transforming people’s lives he makes time for karate, motorcycling, kite surfing and spending time with his wife of 28 years and 3 lucky children

It’s my absolute honor and pleasure to welcome to you a Hero,
Inventor, Philanthropist, Business Mogul, and Family Man.

    When I prepared for this interview today I had tears in my eyes and found myself getting very emotional.

    My guest today has a shocking story that begins with a rising star. At one point James Arthur Ray was considered to be one of the top 10 Self Help Motivational Speakers in the world. Although he would shudder at the mention of it because he doesn’t like those descriptions.

    He has helped hundreds of thousands of people and companies, from 143 different countries around the world,

    His company hit The Inc. 500 in 2009 as one of the fastest growing privately held companies in the United States

    And he has been featured in all major media outlets including Oprah, Fortune Magazine, People Magazine, Larry King Live, Piers Morgan, the Today Show, CNN and also starred in the award winning film documentary “The Secret”

    James, however, has a little twist in his story. A tragedy that would break most people and leave them on the floor in pieces.

    At one of his events 3 of his clients died and he was sentenced to jail for negligent homicide.

    But his story doesn’t end there. Far from it.

    Today he is back with even more energy and resilience

    The CNN documentary film ‘Enlighten Us, The Rise and Fall of James Arthur Ray’ depicts a glimpse of his journey.

    It is my honour and pleasure to bring to you a man who doesn’t just preach it but truly knows what it means to be resilient and break through all the obstacles life throws your way.

     

    What you will learn:

    • How to get through the toughest times
    • How to deal with major rejection
    • Why you have been sold a lie
    • Having clarity of purpose
    • … and MUCH MORE

    Interesting highlights:

    • James went from Beverly Hills mansion to Solitary Confinement
    • James was convicted of negligible homicide
    • James built an Inc. 500 company

    James’s #1 practical advice: 

    Pain is the mother of all growth

    Today is the day that I get to pick the brain of one of my biggest inspirations.

    Tom Bileu is the Co-founder of Quest Nutrition which is saving lives one health bar at a time. It was the second fastest growing company in 2014 which grew by 57,000% in year 3 and was valued at over a billion dollars within just 5 years!

    Tom is also the founder and host of Impact Theory where he follows his guests down their personal rabbit hole to explore the mindsets of the world’s highest achievers and discover their secrets to success.

    He’s been featured in countless major publications including Forbes, Inc., Success, and The Huffington Post to name a few.

    But all this success doesn’t get to his head. His humility and the way he sets aside his ego to learn from others is truly astounding.

    It is my absolute pleasure and honor to introduce to you a man who’s mission is to end metabolic disease and put a stop to the number one cause of death among young men… Suicide.

    I bring to you a superhero in the flesh. A Jedi Knight combating the darkness in this world. The Neo that is pulling people out of the matrix.

     

    What you will learn:

    • How to master your mind (like Neo from the Matrix)
    • How to go from motivated to taking action
    • The difference between hard work and results
    • How to get into a powerful state of flow
    • How to turn tragedies into empowerment
    • How to create a massive impact in the world
    • … and MUCH MORE

    Interesting highlights:

    • Tom’s company, Quest Nutrition was the second fastest growing company
    • Tom grew Quest to a billion dollar valuation
    • Tom wakes up at 2:30am!
    • Tom is naturally very lazy

    Tom’s #1 practical advice: 

    Only Action Matters

    How’s that for an intro….

    She flatlined in her husband’s arms.

    Doctors couldn’t resuscitate her for over 90-minutes and it took a massive team of over 100 doctors and surgeons from around the world and $3 million dollars to save her life, as she
    shattered medical records globally.

    Cherie Aimee spent 4 and half years as a pioneer patient implanted with the latest in bio-medical technology, a device known as an LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) otherwise known as a bionic heart.

    She had a 0.000001% Chance of Survival!

    Today she is a #1 Best-Selling Author, International Speaker, Mentor, Contributor & CEO/Founder of Live Big Be Happy.

    Her vision is to empower 10 million people around the world to live a life of love, compassion and no regrets.

    My guest today has built, not one, but eight 7-figure products and has been named one of the top internet marketers in the world.

    Yanik Silver is one of those guys that seems to manage to do more in a week than most people do in a lifetime.

    Among many of the projects he has launched he is most famous for creating the Maverick 1000 – a private, invitation-only global network of the top entrepreneurs and industry transformers.

    If I mention all the media Yanik has been featured in I won’t have any time left to interview him!

    His new revolutionary book called ‘Evolved Enterprise’ has received endorsements from some of the most iconic figures in business, including, Sir Richard Branson, Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS, Brian Smith – founder of UGGS and Richard Saul Wurman – creator of TED Talks among many others.

    He plans on Taking your business from transactional to Transformational and even transcending.

    It is with great pleasure and honor that I bring to you a man that is less interested in the fact that he is a serial entrepreneur, bestselling author, Adventure Junkie, philanthropist, digital marketing guru, darn good doodler, and super connected influencer … as he is a game changer. And by game changer I mean changing the way business is played.

    In the words of Sir Richard Branson.. “Yanik shows entrepreneurs how re-writing the rules can create a better world”

     

    What you will learn:

    • How to become a Maverick
    • Why culture really matters
    • Why having a bigger ‘why’ will increase your bottom line
    • How to take your business from transactional to transformational
    • How you can get to meet Richard Branson on Necker Island
    • … and MUCH MORE

    Interesting highlights:

    • Yanik almost went into theater instead of internet marketing
    • Yanik has launched 8 multi-million dollar products
    • Yanik lost $400,000 on a bad investment

Maybe you thought of diving deep and taking a tour of the Titanic … how about flying a supersonic military jet?

    Have you ever fantasized about being James Bond for the day?

    Well my guest today can make it happen.

    In fact he can pretty much take any fantasy you have and make it a reality … for the right price of course!

    Steve Sims is the founder of Bluefish, an exclusive luxury concierge service for the elite.

    He’s the man rich people go to when they get bored and need an adventure.

    Steve has built himself a dream network including celebrities like Sting and Andrea Bocelli and business moguls like Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Richard Branson.
    When I got to the page on his website that lists all the media he’s been featured on I gave up after minutes of scrolling down the page.

    He’s been featured on over 30 TV shows, over 60 major publications and has spoken at countless events and universities including Harvard

    But here’s the funny thing. If you encountered Steve in the street one night you would most likely cross over to the other side. His shaved head, Harley Davidson garb, body piercings, 5”11, 240 pounds exterior would make most people feel uncomfortable.

    But beneath the hood is an engine of pure gold. He truly cares so deeply about your success that he’s willing to lay everything on the line to help you. He’s also a philanthropist and has raised over half a million dollars for non-profit organizations

    It is my great pleasure and honor to introduce to you the man they call the REAL wizard of OZ, the beardless bald headed Santa Clause … Steve Sims

     

    What you will learn:

    • How to get anything you want by being unreasonable
    • Practical tips on how to get through to anyone
    • How to build a highly lucrative network
    • Find your 5% and focus on that
    • Why ugly sells
    • … and MUCH MORE

    Interesting highlights:

    • Steve got his client married in the Vatican!
    • Steve talks about how he got one of his clients kidnapped by evil spies
    • Steve talks about some of the craziest things his clients have experienced (REALLY CRAZY!)

    Steve’s #1 practical advice: 

    Your imperfections ARE your perfections

    There was once a boy who grew up in a wealthy home, but tragedy struck and he watched his father lose his business. He was so affected by it, that deep down inside he decided that he would make it his mission in life to help people never experience such a thing.

    At 15 years old he started selling appliances and while he was still in college he helped run a 12 million dollar company.

    He then went on to build what is now famously known as the Entrepreneurs Organisation – which is considered to be “the global thought leader on entrepreneurship” with over 12,000 members across 50 countries

    After his first child was born he launched ‘Gazelles’ – an executive education and coaching firm with hundreds of partners in six continents

    Verne Harnish is today recognized as one of the world’s best thought leaders

    He’s the author of multiple best selling books including ‘Mastering the Rockefeller Habits’ which has been translated into 9 languages. ‘The Greatest Business Decisions of All Times’ which he wrote with the editors of Fortune and his latest book ‘Scaling UP’ which has won seven major international book awards

    He is also a world class keynote speaker and commands a $50K speaking fee.

    In a world filled with startups Verne focuses on scale ups
    When he’s not helping companies scale he spends his time with his wife and 4 children – plays piano, Tennis and even loves to wow people with his magic, as a card-carrying member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians.

    It is my absolute pleasure and honor to bring to you the man known as ‘The Growth Guy’ Verne Harnish

     

    What you will learn:

    • How to go from entrepreneur to CEO
    • How to become more productive with a ‘daily huddle’
    • What Mark Cuban, Mark Zuckerberg and Warren Buffett have in common
    • The importance of surrounding yourself with smarter people than you
    • Why it’s always a question of ‘who’ not ‘what’
    • … and MUCH MORE

    Interesting highlights:

    • There are 11,000 startups an hour in the world
    • At the young age of 15 Verne helped run a $12 million company
    • Verne launched the Entrepreneurs Organisation which now had over 12,000 members

    So what does a man do once he has so much freedom? … Come up with the solution to world peace of course!

    Damian is on a mission that some may say is impossible.
    A mission impossible. (Step aside Tom Cruise …)

    Damian has helped thousands of business owners wake up to their own potential by tapping into what he calls an “inside out reality”

    He is also a transformational speaker and has taken up many stages, including the coveted Tedx platform

    Damian is also the author of the critically acclaimed books “Do Nothing!” and “The Entrepreneur Success Formula” which discuss the thinking process behind successful behavior.

    In his latest book Titled “The World Peace Equation” Damian lays out the simple formula which he believes will change humanity.

    • How to ‘cure’ addiction and mental illnesses (VERY controversial)
    • How to we can ultimately get to world peace
    • How to be free from all the stresses in your life
    • How to make the best decisions

    My guest today has been named by CNN Money as The Man, Executives Turn To For Business Advice

    Cameron Herold is known around the world as THE BUSINESS GROWTH GURU which quite frankly didn’t impress me much seeing as everybody calls themselves a guru these days. Until, however, I did a little research into the man.

    At age 21, he had 14 employees and by 35, he’d help build his first TWO $100 MILLION DOLLAR companies and was responsible for helping 1-800-GOT-JUNK go from $2 Million to $106 Million in revenue in just six years. That’s just insane!

    He also helped one of his clients land over 5,200 media placements including coverage on USA Today, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, CNBC, Fortune, Dr Phil & The Oprah Winfrey Show

    According to the publisher of Forbes Magazine he is considered to be one of the top-rated international speakers and has been paid to speak in 26 countries.

     

    What you will learn:

    • How to build a $100 Million business
    • How to network with people like Elon Musk, Tim Ferris and Simon Sinek
    • How to double your business in 3 years
    • Why it’s crucial to dream big
    • Why meetings suck and what to do about it
    • How great culture and PR is the secret to success in business
    • Why you need to R&D ‘Ripoff and Duplicate’

    Interesting highlights:

    • Cameron was responsible for taking a company from $2 Million to $106 Million
    • Cameron helped a client get featured on 5,200 media outlets
    • Cameron spends $25,000 a year on networking

    Yaakov is also the co-founder of Israel APP and has been involved in many projects such as Chilla Vista, Forest Foundation and Wisdom 2.0
