You don’t need fancy equipment to get started anymore. In our talk, Jacob shared his journey from wanting to be a podcaster for years, sitting on an idea, to finally launching his own podcast. We covered how to figure out your “why,” how to get content ideas out of your head, which tools are the easiest to use, and how staying consistent can help you reach more people.

Whether you’re a solo creator, a business owner, or just someone who wants to try making a show for fun, this episode breaks down what you need to know. We also talked about why you shouldn’t worry about being everywhere, how to scale your workflow, and tips for getting help as your show grows.

Getting Started as a Content Creator

Jacob Gooden explained that now is the easiest time ever to be a content creator. Phones in our pockets work as cameras and microphones. Free and cheap apps do what once took expensive studios. But, with so many tools and platforms—TikTok, podcasts, blogs, YouTube, and more—it can make your head spin about where to start.

Key points:

• Use what you have. You don’t need a giant budget to start.
• Try different things, see what sticks, and learn as you go.
• Commit to starting, even if it looks rough (“start ugly” is the motto from Chris Krimitsos).
• Phones work great to record your first episodes or videos.

Finding Your Why and Picking the Show Type

Before you make your show, get clear about why you want to create and what you’ll talk about. Jacob shared how he sat on a podcast idea for years, thinking about different topics. He didn’t want to make just another “people talking on a couch” show. During COVID, old friends inspired him to finally start a podcast about being homeschooled and how it shaped who he is now.

Takeaways:

• Ask yourself: Why are you making this show? Who should it help or connect with?
• Be honest and specific with your purpose. Jacob's current podcast helps other homeschoolers, parents, and anyone curious about homeschooling.
• Your show’s goal can change over time. Jacob’s podcast got deeper and more meaningful as he produced more episodes.
• It’s normal for your first ideas to change. Keep checking in with yourself about your intentions.

The Best Tools and Gear (Without Breaking the Bank)

Many people wait too long to start because they worry about not having fancy gear. Jacob and I both think you should just start with what you have and upgrade as you go along.

Important advice:

• A phone is enough to begin recording both audio and video.
• Use free or budget-friendly apps like Riverside.fm, Zoom, or the built-in camera app.
• “Start ugly” and don’t worry about perfection.
• If you want to upgrade, get a better microphone (Jacob likes the Shure MV7) and later a dedicated camera, but the phone is great for most people.

“Just pull the thing that’s in your pocket, your phone, and start figuring out how to use this to make something—that’s what’s incredible,” Jacob said.

Easy Editing and Workflow Tips

Editing can feel hard when you’re new, but with tools like Descript, it gets way easier. Jacob walked through his editing process and shared some tricks:

• Descript lets you edit audio and video like fixing a Word doc. Delete “ums,” filler words, long pauses, or bad takes quickly.
• Recording your show into Descript or uploading files there makes editing easier for beginners.
• Use Descript’s “edit for clarity” tool to automatically find and keep your best takes.

Jacob explained how he does edits in two passes: a fast “rough cut” to get rid of big problems, then a slower “final touch” to polish things up. If you’re solo, editing may take longer at first, but you get faster.

You can keep your editing process simple if you just want to share helpful conversations or ideas—don’t sweat the fancy edits early on.

Turning Your Ideas into Great Podcast Episodes

Many creators get stuck trying to organize their ideas. Jacob uses a fast way: He records voice notes while walking and thinking, then uses Otter.ai to turn those voice notes into written text.

Tips to turn your ideas into shows:

• Use Otter.ai to transcribe your thoughts.
• Feed transcripts into ChatGPT, Perplexity, or similar tools to pull out main questions and episode ideas.
• Prepare episode outlines and questions by having AI organize or expand your raw thoughts.
• Don’t rush. Good prep at the start makes recording and editing way easier.

Jacob: “I walk and talk, record myself saying my thoughts out loud, then get everything transcribed. Then I can ask AI to distill the ideas and build outlines for my episodes.”

Using AI and Automation to Save Time

AI can help you build content quickly and keep things organized. Jacob and I both use ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Castmagic to speed up show notes, blog posts, and more.

Key points:

• ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini are all useful for planning shows, prepping outlines, or writing posts.
• Castmagic turns your episode audio into blog posts, show notes, and titles—automatically, using custom prompts.
• AI is a tool, not a replacement for your voice. Always review and adjust AI-generated content.
• Building prompts for AI tools saves time: Build a repeatable instruction or “prompt” for each show or task.

Jacob: “If you don’t want to pay for a bunch of tools, you can still do it for free by creating some good prompts. I keep prompts organized for every show I help run.”

Where Should You Post Your Content?

Don’t try to be everywhere at once. Focus where you can make the biggest impact and stay consistent:

• The biggest podcast platform by listening hours is now YouTube, with over 1 billion hours per month.
• Spotify is number two and has added strong video features.
• Apple Podcasts is number three.
• Even if you choose one platform to begin, make sure you capture high-quality video (most people watch on smart TVs now!).
• Expand to other places only when you have time or get help.

Balancing Consistency, Fun, and Growth

Making content should stay fun and not become a source of burnout. Jacob talked about how trying to do too much—being everywhere at once, launching extras, or pushing yourself to exhaustion—hurts your work.

Best advice:

• Focus on just the core tasks you can do well. Jacob produces his podcast weekly, posts to his favorite channels, and writes one newsletter.
• Pick a pace that fits your life and goals. Don’t worry about missing out on every trend.
• As you get faster and want to grow, invite others to help with edits, posting, or making visuals.
• Have fun! People will be more drawn to honest, happy energy than a perfect but joyless show.

On this episode of Hustle and Flowchart, I sat down with Jacob Gooden, the guy who makes sure our show sounds and looks good, and who helps all kinds of creators with their podcasts and content. Jacob has years of experience running podcasts, editing content, using smart tools like Descript and Castmagic, and guiding new creators on where to focus.

  You don’t need fancy equipment to get started anymore. In our talk, Jacob shared his journey from wanting to be a podcaster for years, sitting on an idea, to finally launching his own podcast. We covered how to figure out your “why,” how to get content ideas out of your head, which tools are the easiest to use, and how staying consistent can help you reach more people.

  Whether you’re a solo creator, a business owner, or just someone who wants to try making a show for fun, this episode breaks down what you need to know. We also talked about why you shouldn’t worry about being everywhere, how to scale your workflow, and tips for getting help as your show grows.

  Getting Started as a Content Creator

  Jacob Gooden explained that now is the easiest time ever to be a content creator. Phones in our pockets work as cameras and microphones. Free and cheap apps do what once took expensive studios. But, with so many tools and platforms—TikTok, podcasts, blogs, YouTube, and more—it can make your head spin about where to start.

  Key points:

  • Use what you have. You don’t need a giant budget to start.
  • Try different things, see what sticks, and learn as you go.
  • Commit to starting, even if it looks rough (“start ugly” is the motto from Chris Krimitsos).
  • Phones work great to record your first episodes or videos.

As they discuss the impact of the "silver tsunami" and technological advancements, Jon highlights the potential for this small business aquisition to drive entrepreneurial growth. Reflecting on lessons from industry giants like Warren Buffett, Jon shares insights from his career journey and emphasizes the importance of constant reinvention to thrive in today’s rapidly evolving business environment.

  What is a Search Fund?

  Jon Staenberg explains that a search fund is a unique investment model where individuals or teams raise capital to search for and acquire a business. This model allows individuals, often fresh out of business school, to purchase companies with strong potential and lead them to growth and success. The concept was initially taught at schools like Stanford and Harvard, and its popularity is spreading across the globe.

  The Rise and Benefits of Search Funds

  Jon highlights the growing trend of baby boomers retiring and the opportunity it presents for buying businesses. Small businesses with established market presence and potential for improvement are ripe for acquisition. This situation creates a "silver tsunami" of opportunities. Search funds target companies within the $2 to $5 million EBITDA range, making them accessible yet highly profitable investments.

  Jon's Path to Creating Agate Hound

  Jon shares his journey into creating Agate Hound, his fund that supports search funds. He emphasizes the importance of investing in funds that have a well-thought-out playbook, ensuring systematic success in acquiring and managing businesses. For him, it's crucial to have passionate entrepreneurs, buy the right businesses, and have a strong support network.

  The Role of AI and Modern Technologies

  Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a significant role in Jon’s current ventures. AI helps showcase the potential of technology in transforming and running businesses more efficiently. AI can aid in everything from making business processes smoother to offering innovative solutions and creative ideas for business growth.

  Investing in Boring but Profitable Businesses

  Jon believes in investing in so-called "boring" businesses, like pool cleaning companies or accounting firms. These businesses might not be flashy, but they provide steady income and reliable returns. Search funds capitalize on these opportunities, bringing fresh energy and modern strategies to well-established enterprises.

  Jon’s Motivation and Future Plans

  Jon remains focused on growing the search fund model, seeing it as a valuable asset for investors seeking solid, long-term growth. He sees his role not just as an investor but as a mentor, helping new business leaders to navigate through acquisitions successfully.

  Getting Involved with Search Funds

  For those interested in the world of search funds, Jon recommends starting with educational resources like the Stanford primer on search funds. Numerous books and podcasts can also provide valuable insights.

The episode underlines the potential of traditional businesses combined with innovative strategies for those ready to rethink their investment approaches. As Jon emphasizes the value of alignment and a solid support system, listeners can explore how search funds might offer new pathways to business success.

I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Pamela Smith on the Hustle and Flowchart podcast about this important topic, especially focusing on male hormones and how they affect entrepreneurs like us. Dr. Smith shared valuable insights on hormonal balance and its connection to our health, energy, and ability to stay productive in our busy lives. Let's dive into the key points we discussed in the episode.

  What The Episode Is About

  In this episode, Dr. Pamela Smith sheds light on the importance of hormones for both men and women. Most of us often neglect understanding how vital hormones are in maintaining our memory, preventing diseases, supporting our immune systems, and overall physical and mental well-being. Dr. Smith not only talks about male hormones but also explains the interconnectedness of male and female hormonal health. Alongside hormone replacement for men, she delves into the role of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, cortisol, and thyroid hormones in the body.

  Importance of Hormones

  Hormones help us think clearly, feel good, and remain motivated. Aging naturally affects hormone levels, but several factors like the environment, toxins, and stress can disrupt hormonal balance. As Dr. Smith points out, many men in their 30s now have low testosterone levels, which used to be uncommon. This hormonal imbalance influences our physical health, mental clarity, and energy levels.

  Estrogen's Role in Men

  Though predominantly seen as a female hormone, estrogen is also present and necessary in men. It supports memory, bone structure, and prevents erectile dysfunction. However, Dr. Smith warns that too much estrogen in men can increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. It's crucial for men to maintain estrogen at normal levels, neither too high nor too low.

  Understanding Progesterone and Testosterone

  Progesterone in men supports nerve health and hormone balance. It also helps prevent high levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can enlarge the prostate and increase heart disease risk. Testosterone is misunderstood as just the sexual interest hormone. Dr. Smith emphasizes that it is essential for energy, muscle mass, lowering cholesterol, and supporting overall mental health.

  The Impact of Aging and Toxins on Hormones

  As we age, hormonal dysfunction increases due to various external factors. The rise of toxins like BPAs and microplastics affects testosterone levels. Julie highlighted surprising statistics: a woman who breaks a hip has a 50% chance of not walking for a year, and a man, 50% chance of dying within a year, underscoring the seriousness of bone health in men which is influenced by hormones.

  Personalized Medicine Approach

  The power of personalized medicine cannot be overstated. Unlike conventional treatments, personalized medicine precisely targets individual needs for optimal health results. The science Dr. Smith practices tailors for individuals— as evident with hormones, where no two patients receive identical treatments. This approach ensures balance in hormone replacement and nutrition.

  The Importance of Thyroid and Insulin

  Dr. Smith outlines the importance of the thyroid, the "conductor" organ for our entire system. Insulin balance is paramount too. High or low levels are common, but the key markers, like fasting blood sugar and insulin levels, are crucial for preventing diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. The connection between testosterone regulation and insulin balance was also elucidated.

I'm Joe Fier, and today we talk about how human creators like you are at the heart of AI. We also explore how to use AI to spread your ideas further. Together, let's dive into why your creativity is key in this world filled with AI tools.

  AI can't exist without human creators. You and I, we are the ones creating content—books, blogs, videos, and even social media posts. This content builds the foundation for AI tools like Chat GPT and Claude to work. But here's the exciting part—AI helps us be even more creative! So, let's explore how you can make the most of AI in your work.

  How AI Depends on Human Creators

  AI relies on what we create. Our words, ideas, and life perspectives fuel the AI engine. AI's knowledge comes from the data sets we provide. It's crucial to remember that without our creativity, AI wouldn't have anything to work with.

  AI as Your Creative Partner

  Think of AI like a friend who helps brainstorm and refine your ideas. Tools such as Chat GPT and Claude can help you make entire drafts of new content. This feels like having a creative buddy who's always ready to help. It's not only about creating—AI can also help you grow and connect with more people.

  Building Customized Digital Minds

  Imagine creating a digital version of yourself with AI. Platforms like Delphi.ai let you do this by emulating your voice and knowledge. This helps you not only create but also scale your work, making it easier to share with others. My experience with Delphi.ai shows how powerful this can become.

  The Changing Value Chain

  Lots of money goes into AI technologies and platforms like OpenAI and Google. But remember, their value comes from us creators! Even if we don't always feel valued, it's important to leverage technology based on our shared knowledge. Doing this helps us reclaim our spot in the value chain.

  Human Creativity is Irreplaceable

  AI remixes our ideas, but it doesn't innovate from scratch. Humans dream, hope, and connect emotionally. That's what makes us irreplaceable. When we use AI to improve and connect ideas, it helps make our work understandable and relatable to others.

  The Power of AI and Human Connection

  I'm excited by what AI can do, but it's the human connection that matters most. Using AI tools like Chat GPT and Claude allows us to reach people across the globe. It’s about enhancing our ideas to connect in ways that suit everyone. Your creativity leads the way in this AI-driven world.

  Conclusion: A Future with AI and Humans Working Together

  The future isn't about AI replacing humans. It's about both working together. Embrace what excites you and share your ideas with others. With AI, you have tools to expand your impact. Dive into AI and let’s thrive together. Share your thoughts and experiences on how you're using AI. Exciting times are ahead!

  Remember, it's AI and humans, hand-in-hand, making a difference in the world. Until next time, keep creating and exploring new ways to expand your reach!

Gregory shares his experiences from starting and investing in multiple businesses, offering listeners practical advice about the startup world. He discusses his new book, "The Startup Lifecycle," explaining the common missteps founders make and how to avoid them. Gregory is passionate about helping entrepreneurs succeed without skipping essential steps.

  Gregory outlines the critical phases of a startup, from envisioning the company's purpose to exiting the business successfully. In these conversations, he mentions compelling statistics, like the fact that almost half of startups fail within their first year. With these insights, Gregory aims to guide founders through early pitfalls that can lead to failure.

  Introduction to Gregory Shephard

  Meeting Gregory Shephard again was a pleasure. As a fellow entrepreneur from San Diego, he brings a wealth of knowledge. Having been involved in numerous startups and investments, Gregory offers valuable insights into business growth and sustainability. His enthusiasm for helping founders succeed shines through in his advice and strategies.

  The Importance of Having a Clear Vision

  Gregory stresses the importance of having a clear vision when starting a business. Without a roadmap, founders can find themselves lost and making rash decisions. He compares this to taking a road trip without a map – you might miss important stops, detours, or gas refuels. Defining your "North Star" helps guide a company through its lifecycle by connecting where you are with where you want to go.

  Navigating the Startup Lifecycle

  Gregory's book, "The Startup Lifecycle," outlines the stages vital for a startup: Vision, Product, Go-to-Market, Standardization, Optimization, Growth, and Exit. From creating a prototype to commercializing it, Gregory explains the importance of each stage. He emphasizes that standardization, often overlooked, is crucial for maintaining high margins as a startup scales. Gregory introduces concepts like "up and out" and common pitfalls in team management to further illustrate his points.

  The Dangers of Overvaluing and Over-Investing

  The conversation covers the "capital trap" where startups overvalue themselves when raising funds. This leads to pressure from investors for returns that might be unrealistic. Founders could face challenges sustaining growth while trying to meet high monetary expectations. Gregory advises achieving profitability early on and maintaining it to avoid these traps. This approach may result in slower growth but fosters sustainability and control.

  Personal Challenges and Growth

  Gregory shares his personal philosophy on conquering challenges. By venturing on daring quests yearly, he exposes himself to situations he initially thought impossible. Whether wrestling alligators or preparing for a trip to space, Gregory learns persistence and resilience in the face of adversity. These experiences mirror the startup journey, where mental strength plays a significant role in overcoming business obstacles.

Eric, now the CEO of Scribe Media, shares an extraordinary tale of revival from chaos, rebuilding trust and redefining how books are crafted and self-made authors are created. If you've ever considered writing a book or are intrigued by pathways to personal and professional transformation, this episode is a goldmine. Buckle up as we explore Eric's world, where opportunities are seized, and traditional publishing norms are shattered, all while drawing inspiration from the wisdom of Naval Ravikant.

  Eric's Role at Scribe Media

  Eric Jorgenson serves as CEO of Scribe Media, where he juggles different projects. He admits that managing these tasks is challenging but focuses on synergies rather than distractions. Opportunity well handled, he says, leads to more opportunity.

  The Story of Scribe

  Scribe Media was co-founded by Tucker Max and Zach Obront. Tucker, a well-known author, originally used his talents to help others navigate the confusing publishing world. Scribe grew rapidly, but when the original founders left, mismanagement led to bankruptcy. Eric, having published his first book with Scribe, found himself caught up in the chaos. He felt a responsibility to save the company that helped him so much.

  Trust Building Post-Bankruptcy

  Eric emphasizes that trust can't be asked for, only earned. The focus for Scribe is now to do stellar work and let that speak for itself. He believes in rebuilding trust by doing what you say you will do, consistently. This isn't about asking for trust, but rather earning it through actions and reliability.

  The Model of Scribe Media

  Scribe Media takes the opposite approach of traditional publishing. Unlike big publishers that offer advances and retain most rights and royalties, Scribe charges a flat rate. Authors make the creative decisions, keep all rights, and retain all royalties. This means more royalties for the author in the long run, especially if you sell many books, like David Goggins. Instead of relying on media appearances, books now are sold primarily on platforms like Amazon, highlighting the significance of authors owning their work.

  The Importance of Books in a Digital World

  A book can act as a powerful marketing tool. It allows professionals to demonstrate their expertise and connect with potential clients. For instance, Paul Franco used his book to reach a niche audience, leading directly to business opportunities. A well-written book goes beyond mere sales. It offers credibility and establishes authority.

  AI in Book Writing

  AI can assist in the initial stages of writing but isn't perfect for long-form prose. Scribe helps authors by interviewing them, pulling out stories and key points to capture the book’s essence. While AI can pose as a support tool, Eric believes that human touch is still pivotal for creating truly impactful content. AI offers options like proofreading and brainstorming and can accelerate the drafting process.

  ]]>In this gripping episode of Hustle and Flowchart, we delve into the remarkable journey of Eric Jorgenson, the mastermind behind "The Almanac of Naval Ravikant." Eric, now the CEO of Scribe Media, shares an extraordinary tale of revival from chaos, rebuilding trust and redefining how books are crafted and self-made authors are created. If you've ever considered writing a book or are intrigued by pathways to personal and professional transformation, this episode is a goldmine. Buckle up as we explore Eric's world, where opportunities are seized, and traditional publishing norms are shattered, all while drawing inspiration from the wisdom of Naval Ravikant.

  Eric's Role at Scribe Media

  Eric Jorgenson serves as CEO of Scribe Media, where he juggles different projects. He admits that managing these tasks is challenging but focuses on synergies rather than distractions. Opportunity well handled, he says, leads to more opportunity.

  The Story of Scribe

  Scribe Media was co-founded by Tucker Max and Zach Obront. Tucker, a well-known author, originally used his talents to help others navigate the confusing publishing world. Scribe grew rapidly, but when the original founders left, mismanagement led to bankruptcy. Eric, having published his first book with Scribe, found himself caught up in the chaos. He felt a responsibility to save the company that helped him so much.

  Trust Building Post-Bankruptcy

  Eric emphasizes that trust can't be asked for, only earned. The focus for Scribe is now to do stellar work and let that speak for itself. He believes in rebuilding trust by doing what you say you will do, consistently. This isn't about asking for trust, but rather earning it through actions and reliability.

  The Model of Scribe Media

  Scribe Media takes the opposite approach of traditional publishing. Unlike big publishers that offer advances and retain most rights and royalties, Scribe charges a flat rate. Authors make the creative decisions, keep all rights, and retain all royalties. This means more royalties for the author in the long run, especially if you sell many books, like David Goggins. Instead of relying on media appearances, books now are sold primarily on platforms like Amazon, highlighting the significance of authors owning their work.

  The Importance of Books in a Digital World

  A book can act as a powerful marketing tool. It allows professionals to demonstrate their expertise and connect with potential clients. For instance, Paul Franco used his book to reach a niche audience, leading directly to business opportunities. A well-written book goes beyond mere sales. It offers credibility and establishes authority.

  AI in Book Writing

  AI can assist in the initial stages of writing but isn't perfect for long-form prose. Scribe helps authors by interviewing them, pulling out stories and key points to capture the book’s essence. While AI can pose as a support tool, Eric believes that human touch is still pivotal for creating truly impactful content. AI offers options like proofreading and brainstorming and can accelerate the drafting process.

  Naval Ravikant's Influence

  Naval's perspectives deeply influence Eric. He appreciates Naval’s view that happiness is a skill rather than just a choice. Eric has adopted these nuggets into his daily life, like appreciating simple moments.

  ]]>b13053fc-d5fe-4bca-be04-8793ba741306Tue, 11 Mar 2025 06:00:00 -050056:37falsefull16506501Dr. Alok Trivedi: Rewiring Your Brain for Wealth and Purpose!Dr. Alok Trivedi, known as Dr. Rewire, joined me for an insightful conversation that shifted the way we view traditional healthcare and approaches to personal development. His journey from a busy clinic to a unique focus on rewiring the brain emphasizes how our thoughts influence our health, success, and overall well-being. Dr. Trivedi shared inspiring stories, including his personal challenges and how he overcame them by adjusting his mindset and behavioral patterns.

  Dr. Trivedi's Journey

  Dr. Trivedi began his career in personal training, physical therapy, and chiropractic school. Although he achieved success, he realized that many of his patients' problems stemmed from their emotions and beliefs. When a recurring patient showed pain relief by simply answering questions about stressors in his life, Dr. Trivedi found his new passion. He transitions from physical treatment to helping clients rewire their brains to address their challenges.

  The Power of the Mind

  Dr. Trivedi argues that the brain holds the key to controlling physical health. By addressing emotional and mental hurdles, he believes individuals can solve physical pains and achieve personal success. Through his method known as rewiring, Dr. Trivedi shows how changing thought patterns can lead to better health and life situations. One of his clients, an Emmy-winning friend, found renewed success and happiness through Dr. Trivedi's system.

  Traditional Goal Setting vs. Neurological Approach

  Dr. Trivedi criticizes traditional goal setting, such as SMART goals, for failing to consider the brain's natural processes. He explains that ambitious goals often lead to stress and dissatisfaction. By focusing on smaller, manageable improvements, individuals avoid the neurological rollercoaster of dopamine spikes and crashes. Instead of setting goals that "scare you," Dr. Trivedi promotes sustainable, incremental progress.

  Five Pillars of Health

  Achieving health and well-being requires more than just physical fitness. Dr. Trivedi emphasizes the importance of five pillars: mind, body, diet, sleep, and wealth. Starting with mental clarity and a balanced diet leads to restful sleep and physical health, ultimately culminating in true wealth—both financial and emotional. He stresses the need to manage stress and maintain balance to prevent chronic health issues.

  Personalized Health and the Brain DNA Test

  Understanding personal genetics plays a crucial role in optimizing health. Dr. Trivedi offers a Brain DNA test that analyzes an individual's genetic predispositions to various neurotransmitters. This personalized approach helps tailor lifestyle and dietary choices to one's unique genetic code, leading to better health and happiness.

  Daily Practices for Balance and Success

  Dr. Trivedi advocates for a structured daily routine to ensure a balance between work, personal wellness, and family. Break the day into manageable parts, starting with self-care (mindfulness, exercise), work, family time, and finally, some personal downtime. This routine helps regulate stress levels and keeps the mind focused and calm.

  In closing, Dr. Trivedi imparts that rewiring the brain is a viable path to personal transformation, allowing us to control emotions, reduce stress, and lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Having spent three decades in the medical field, Dr. Savage shares his journey from a stressed ER doctor to a leading figure in health optimization. This episode focuses on how toxins affect our health, the importance of measuring them, and ways to combat these threats using innovative solutions like plasma exchange. Join us as we delve into the steps for a healthier lifestyle and the groundbreaking efforts led by Dr. Savage to address these issues.

  Dr. Paul Savage’s Journey

  Dr. Paul Savage started his career as an ER doctor in Detroit, working long, stressful hours and neglecting his health. By the end of his ten-year stint, his weight had increased drastically, and he was on multiple medications due to poor lifestyle choices exacerbated by stress. This tough lesson prompted him to pursue better health practices. He went back to school, learned about nutrition, exercise, and wellbeing, and underwent a drastic health transformation. As he adopted healthier habits, he realized the need to educate others on maintaining good health and founded BodyLogic MD, which expanded to 70 centers nationwide, focusing on nutrition, exercise, and hormone replacement.

  Understanding Toxins and Their Impact

  Toxins have become a pervasive threat, with more than 50,000 different substances in the environment and 200 billion tons of chemicals used annually in the United States. Dr. Savage explains how everyday items, from the food we eat to the air we breathe, are contaminated with dangerous chemicals. For instance, water is identified as the number one source of toxins. The alarming stats reveal that these substances lead to serious health issues, including cancer, heart disease, and early-onset Alzheimer's. Dr. Savage stresses that toxins often exist invisibly in our bodies, with symptoms manifesting as severe diseases.

  The Importance of Measuring Toxins

  To combat these invisible threats, Dr. Savage emphasizes the necessity of measuring toxins in our body. On average, people now carry 13 toxins above optimum levels compared to just three a decade ago. Testing can help identify specific toxins, guiding effective treatment plans. This helps prevent severe health outcomes by taking action based on individual toxin levels. Dr. Savage offers a comprehensive test at MD Lifespan to assess toxin presence in urine, pinpointing specific substances affecting health.

  Innovative Solutions: Plasma Exchange

  Plasma exchange offers a novel solution to removing multiple toxins from the body. Dr. Savage describes it as an "oil change" for humans, where plasma is replaced with a clean version, albumin, enabling the body to regenerate non-toxic plasma. This process, repeated several times, effectively reduces toxin levels. Research supports its efficacy in slowing or reversing the progression of diseases like Alzheimer's. These procedures offer transformative potential for managing or reversing damage by eliminating the buildup of harmful substances.

  Avoiding Toxins in Daily Life

  Dr. Savage outlines practical steps for minimizing toxin exposure. He recommends filtering water, cleaning the air at home, and choosing toxin-free foods. He also provides guides on cleaning up one’s living environment available on MD Lifespan's website. Awareness and proactive changes are vital to reducing toxin intake, coupled with measuring one's toxicity levels. Simple actions, such as using HEPA filters and reverse osmosis water filters, can drastically reduce exposure.

  The Role of Entrepreneurs in Raising Awareness

  Dr. Savage calls for entrepreneurs to help spread awareness about the toxin crisis and its health impacts. As key change-makers, they can leverage their platforms to educate and inform larger communities. Highlighting the need for research and advocacy, Dr. Savage invites support for ongoing studies and projects to further validate and improve treatments like plasma exchange. The entrepreneurial community's engagement is crucial for amplifying this urgent message and initiating change on a larger scale.

  Conclusion

  Dr. Paul Savage shed light on the looming crisis of toxins affecting health globally. By measuring toxin levels and adopting preventive measures, individuals can safeguard their health before the first symptom, which could be a severe disease, appears. Dr. Savage’s work at MD Lifespan, including cutting-edge solutions like plasma exchange, presents a compelling case for proactive health management. This episode underscores the urgent need for awareness and action, making it essential listening for anyone invested in maintaining long-term wellbeing and health.

James used to be a celebrity chef and has cooked for some of the biggest names like George Clooney and Tom Cruise. As we explored the world of food and health together, James shared how he found his way into the ancient method of eating and how it can benefit everyone, especially entrepreneurs. Let's dive into the rich conversation we had about health, business, and everything in between.

  Summary

  James Barry discovered the key to making superfoods taste great. Once a celebrity chef, he spent years cooking for the stars and now shares the secrets of nutritious ancestral eating with all of us. In this episode, we explore the world of organ meats through James' brand, Pluck. We talked about how eating the right foods can boost energy and decision-making and ultimately bring longevity to our lives and businesses.

  Embracing Change and Seeking Guidance

  James spent the early part of his culinary career feeling like he was "falling to the bottom of the ocean," but he soon realized there is strength and growth in accepting guidance. With a new sense of being taken care of and surrounded by mentors, James understood that it's okay to walk in the footsteps of those who came before. "There's plenty of people that have come before me. I can just see what they did, replicate it, and apply it to my business," he said. This openness to learning created a platform for him to launch Pluck successfully.

  The Role of Routine in Health and Success

  James shared the importance of routine in balancing joy and productivity. By sticking to a daily routine that includes exercise, he taps into the joy which allows him to solve problems more effectively. "I wake up at the same time every day, work out at the same time, and go to sleep at the same time," he said. Routine doesn't only improve mental clarity, it helps in making tough entrepreneurial decisions.

  The Origins of James Barry's Culinary Journey

  Growing up with non-gourmet cooking, James found a spark when he first scrambled an egg. The path to culinary success was not straightforward. He tackled many challenges, including a career in acting. It wasn't until after 9/11 that he felt the shift towards his true passion—cooking. Inspired by the need for authenticity and purpose, James took the leap and never looked back, even when it meant a significant drop in income.

  The Importance of Real Food and Ancestral Eating

  James emphasizes that eating real, unprocessed foods can change lives. He has seen trends come and go, but eating real food remains constant. "There's trends, but what I've always focused on is eating real food," he stressed. James highlights the negative effects of processed foods, reminding us that food is not just about calories, it's about nutrients.

  The Significance of Organ Meats and Pluck

  ]]>Today, I had the pleasure of chatting with James Barry, an amazing guest who accomplished something many thought was impossible—taking the healthiest superfoods on the planet and making them delicious and easy to eat. James used to be a celebrity chef and has cooked for some of the biggest names like George Clooney and Tom Cruise. As we explored the world of food and health together, James shared how he found his way into the ancient method of eating and how it can benefit everyone, especially entrepreneurs. Let's dive into the rich conversation we had about health, business, and everything in between.

  Summary

  James Barry discovered the key to making superfoods taste great. Once a celebrity chef, he spent years cooking for the stars and now shares the secrets of nutritious ancestral eating with all of us. In this episode, we explore the world of organ meats through James' brand, Pluck. We talked about how eating the right foods can boost energy and decision-making and ultimately bring longevity to our lives and businesses.

  Embracing Change and Seeking Guidance

  James spent the early part of his culinary career feeling like he was "falling to the bottom of the ocean," but he soon realized there is strength and growth in accepting guidance. With a new sense of being taken care of and surrounded by mentors, James understood that it's okay to walk in the footsteps of those who came before. "There's plenty of people that have come before me. I can just see what they did, replicate it, and apply it to my business," he said. This openness to learning created a platform for him to launch Pluck successfully.

  The Role of Routine in Health and Success

  James shared the importance of routine in balancing joy and productivity. By sticking to a daily routine that includes exercise, he taps into the joy which allows him to solve problems more effectively. "I wake up at the same time every day, work out at the same time, and go to sleep at the same time," he said. Routine doesn't only improve mental clarity, it helps in making tough entrepreneurial decisions.

  The Origins of James Barry's Culinary Journey

  Growing up with non-gourmet cooking, James found a spark when he first scrambled an egg. The path to culinary success was not straightforward. He tackled many challenges, including a career in acting. It wasn't until after 9/11 that he felt the shift towards his true passion—cooking. Inspired by the need for authenticity and purpose, James took the leap and never looked back, even when it meant a significant drop in income.

  The Importance of Real Food and Ancestral Eating

  James emphasizes that eating real, unprocessed foods can change lives. He has seen trends come and go, but eating real food remains constant. "There's trends, but what I've always focused on is eating real food," he stressed. James highlights the negative effects of processed foods, reminding us that food is not just about calories, it's about nutrients.

  The Significance of Organ Meats and Pluck

  Organ meats take center stage as James explains their importance in our diet. He talks about how being a dad inspired him to look into nutrient-dense foods for his kids and himself. Organ meats are highly nutritious and a natural multivitamin. Despite cultural barriers and lack of familiarity, organ meats were the answer. To counteract these challenges, James created Pluck—a convenient blend of organ meats and spices for everyone to enjoy. With Pluck, you get the goodness of organs without the strong taste.

In this episode, I had a fascinating conversation with Kevin Surace, a highly accomplished entrepreneur and inventor with 94 patents, many in AI. We explored the intriguing concept of joy, how it ties into success, and Kevin's thoughts on the future of AI and technology. If you've ever wondered how joy can impact your daily life and success, and what the future holds with AI, you're in the right place.

  The episode dives into Kevin's remarkable career and how he manages to blend joy and productivity. We discuss how joy is not just a feel-good concept but a vital component for achieving success. Additionally, Kevin shares insights into the future of AI, including exciting advancements like humanoid robots, and emphasizes the importance of staying productive with the latest technology.

  The Importance of Joy in Success

  Kevin Surace shares how joy is a crucial element in achieving success. He explains that joy and success are interconnected. More joy leads to more success and vice versa. Having a positive attitude affects how well you do in life. Kevin mentions a technique called the "positive quotient" where you keep track of positive and negative thoughts. Fewer complaints lead to more joy and, subsequently, more success.

  Useful quote: "In order to be the most successful you can be, you need to have joy at every moment."

  The Future of AI

  Kevin outlines an exciting future with AI. He believes humanoid robots will be part of our homes by 2030. These robots will help with daily tasks, increasing our productivity. The current advancements in AI allow us to use tools like GPT-4 and Chat GPT to expand our capabilities and make us more efficient.

  Useful quote: "We are going to have humanoid robots... These robots just in 2024 started to learn on their own using reinforcement learning."

  Staying Productive in the Modern World

  Kevin emphasizes the importance of making the most of our time. There are only so many hours in the day, and tools like AI can help maximize our productivity. Kevin deals with hundreds of emails daily, and using AI tools helps him manage his workload efficiently. AI tools are likened to calculators for thought processes. They help end tasks quicker and more effectively.

  Useful quote: "You have to use every hour and every minute to its fullest."

  Lifelong Learning and Technology

  Kevin sees lifelong learning as essential. He encourages people never to stop learning new things. No matter your age, you can learn new fields and skills. Kevin himself learns about new technologies regularly and integrates them into his work. This mindset helps him stay ahead and achieve success.

  Useful quote: "You can learn practically any field you want."

  The Joy Success Cycle

  Kevin introduces the Joy Success Cycle, which ties joy closely with success. He explains that minimizing negative thoughts and complaints can keep you on a positive track, enhancing success. Each task should be approached with joy, even if it is just to enjoy completing it. Looking at all experiences positively creates more opportunities for success.

  Useful quote: "You're either on that cycle or you're on the downward spiral."

Today, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Sammy Taggett, also known as Shoebox Moses. Sammy is not just a brilliant DJ and musician but also a successful entrepreneur and podcasting mastermind. This episode was all about connection, finding gratitude, and thinking big!

  In this episode, we dug into Sammy's amazing life story, from his humble beginnings to becoming a well-known DJ and entrepreneur. We talked about building connections with people, the power of storytelling, and the ways to create amazing experiences for others.

  Meeting Sammy Taggett

  Sammy Taggett, also known as Shoebox Moses, has a unique story. He explains how his path crossed with mine, and how similar interests and shared connections brought us together. Sammy's known for his infectious energy, and he’s always ready to light up the room. When we catch up, it’s like no time has passed at all.

  The Origin of Shoebox Moses

  Sammy shared his touching origin story. As a newborn in the Philippines, he was found abandoned in a shoebox outside. With the help of kind police officers, he ended up in an orphanage and later got adopted by a family in the United States. This early experience shaped him into the grateful and motivated person he is today. He explained how this background always helps him remain thankful for what he has, stating, “My worst day is somebody else's dream, a thousand times better than their situation.”

  The Importance of Connection and Gratitude

  Connection is the key to Sammy’s success. He is all about sharing experiences and creating magical moments for people. Through music, podcasting, and entrepreneurship, he stays deeply connected to others. Even in tough times, he finds strength in his past and remembers to be grateful. As Sammy puts it, “Your mess is your message."

  Sammy didn't only focus on connections but also understood the profound power of gratitude. He revisits his beginnings whenever he feels down, reflecting, “If ever a day turns to total crap, I look back at where I could literally be and instantly snapped out of it.” Just knowing where he started fuels his positive outlook and patience every day.

  Thinking Big and Going Beyond Limits

  Sammy believes in shooting for the stars. He encourages thinking bigger than ever before and even shared examples of this approach from DJing to podcasting. By aiming for major achievements, he unlocked opportunities others wouldn’t dare to even imagine. He highlighted a book called "10x Is Better Than 2x," which emphasizes the benefits of thinking ten times bigger instead of just doubling your goals. During our chat, he compared DJ gigs at weddings to performing at major venues. Playing large stages with a full setup allows him to focus on his music without distractions like setting up gear. Sammy’s insight was, “There is no competition on the main stage.”

  DJing and Its Impact

  Becoming a DJ wasn’t the smoothest ride for Sammy. He narrated how he fell into an unexpected opportunity and transformed it into a thriving part of his career. From humble beginnings managing a nightclub bathroom, he networked his way up to the DJ booth, proving how determination and creativity open doors. Music isn’t the only thing that drives him; it’s his way to connect deeply with others, making them feel something lasting!

  In another fascinating segment, Sammy shared how his DJing exposed him to different influential networks, further empowering his entrepreneurial endeavors.

Our conversation ranged from the logistics of employment transitions to the importance of understanding oneself to be a better leader. We also touched on hot topics like remote work, AI technology, and setting the right foundation for team communication. Let's dive into the key points covered in this insightful episode.

  Transitioning Away from the 2-Week Notice Concept

  Robert explains that the traditional 2-week notice is outdated and not practical for employers or employees. The idea is rooted in respecting and responsibly communicating an employee's departure, but it often falls short in practice. Instead, Robert proposes an "Open Transition Program," where employees can be transparent about their intentions to leave early on, allowing both parties to make smoother transitions. This program encourages honest conversations, giving employers time to find replacements and providing employees an opportunity to leave without burning bridges.

  Robert addresses common objections, such as the fear that employees who announce their departure might become disengaged or untrustworthy. He argues that these concerns are mitigated by having real conversations early. If employees are transparent about their feelings and plans, it can actually foster a more trusting and supportive environment. This proactive approach can help companies avoid the sudden upheaval that often comes with the last-minute two-week notice.

  Key Points and Takeaways:

  • The traditional 2-week notice is not effective in today’s employment landscape.
  • Open Transition Programs encourage transparency and smoother transitions.
  • Early, honest conversations can prevent problems and foster trust.
  
  

  Personal Core Values and Their Impact on Leadership

  Robert spoke about his upcoming book focused on personal core values, which he describes as the ultimate decision-making tool. He emphasizes that leaders need to understand their own core values to align their actions and decisions with them, thus becoming more authentic and efficient leaders. This can significantly impact how they run their businesses, interact with their teams, and make decisions under pressure.

  Personal core values stem from deep-rooted experiences and feelings, often linked to one's childhood. Robert shared that understanding these values can provide clarity about past career choices and life decisions. It also helps in making future decisions that are more aligned with one's true self, leading to greater job satisfaction and effectiveness as a leader.

  Key Points and Takeaways:

  • Personal core values guide decision-making and leadership style.
  • Understanding one's values can lead to better career and life decisions.
  • Leaders need to be authentic and aligned with their core values.
  
  

  The Importance of Open Communication in Teams

  Robert and I discussed methods to foster open communication within teams. Open and honest dialogue can build a trusting environment. For instance, teams can incorporate exercises like sharing highs and lows or providing direct yet kind feedback. Such practices encourage vulnerability and the sharing of personal experiences, which can strengthen team cohesion and collaboration.

  One effective method Robert shared was initiating meetings with open-ended questions like "How's it going?" rather than direct questions about work. This can help uncover underlying issues affecting performance, whether they are personal or professional. Leaders should model this behavior to set the tone for the rest of the team.

  Key Points and Takeaways:

  • Open communication builds trust within teams.
  • Team exercises can encourage vulnerability and honesty.
  • Leaders should model open communication to set the tone.
  
  

  Embracing Technology and AI in the Workplace

  Robert emphasized the importance of adopting technology and AI to stay relevant and efficient. He pointed out that while it's essential to understand and utilize tools like ChatGPT for productivity, it’s equally important to not over-rely on them. Maintaining a balance is crucial to avoid getting swept up in technological hype while still leveraging AI's benefits to improve work efficiency.

  He also touched on how AI can assist in various tasks, like editing and creating study guides. It’s important to experiment and find ways these tools can complement and enhance one’s work, but human oversight and critical thinking remain indispensable.

  Key Points and Takeaways:

  • Understand and utilize AI tools, but maintain a balance.
  • AI can improve productivity, but should not replace human oversight.
  • Experiment with technology to find effective solutions.
  
  

  Preparation for Real-Life Challenges

  Robert shared his views on preparing for real-life challenges, including how to instill resilience in younger generations. The modern approach often involves removing obstacles for children, but Robert advocates for teaching them to navigate challenges themselves. He believes struggles and difficulties are essential for growth and preparing kids to handle real-world situations.

  This principle applies to business as well. Leaders should not aim to shield their teams from all difficulties but rather equip them with the skills and mindset to overcome challenges. This prepares them to be more resilient and adaptive in the face of unforeseen problems.

  Key Points and Takeaways:

  • Teach the next generation to navigate challenges rather than removing obstacles.
  • Struggles and difficulties are essential for growth.
  • Equip teams with skills to handle real-world situations.

  In summary, this episode with Robert Glazer provided invaluable insights into modern employment practices, the importance of understanding personal core values, fostering open communication in teams, and wisely embracing AI and technology. By implementing these strategies, business leaders and employees alike can create more dynamic, resilient, and supportive work environments. Robert's wisdom and experience offer a roadmap to better leadership and personal fulfillment.

  ]]>In the most recent episode of Hustle and Flowchart, we welcomed Robert Glazer to talk about his new book, "Rethinking Two Weeks' Notice," and related themes surrounding business, leadership, and personal core values. Our conversation ranged from the logistics of employment transitions to the importance of understanding oneself to be a better leader. We also touched on hot topics like remote work, AI technology, and setting the right foundation for team communication. Let's dive into the key points covered in this insightful episode.

  Transitioning Away from the 2-Week Notice Concept

  Robert explains that the traditional 2-week notice is outdated and not practical for employers or employees. The idea is rooted in respecting and responsibly communicating an employee's departure, but it often falls short in practice. Instead, Robert proposes an "Open Transition Program," where employees can be transparent about their intentions to leave early on, allowing both parties to make smoother transitions. This program encourages honest conversations, giving employers time to find replacements and providing employees an opportunity to leave without burning bridges.

  Robert addresses common objections, such as the fear that employees who announce their departure might become disengaged or untrustworthy. He argues that these concerns are mitigated by having real conversations early. If employees are transparent about their feelings and plans, it can actually foster a more trusting and supportive environment. This proactive approach can help companies avoid the sudden upheaval that often comes with the last-minute two-week notice.

  Key Points and Takeaways:

  • The traditional 2-week notice is not effective in today’s employment landscape.
  • Open Transition Programs encourage transparency and smoother transitions.
  • Early, honest conversations can prevent problems and foster trust.
  
  

  Personal Core Values and Their Impact on Leadership

  Robert spoke about his upcoming book focused on personal core values, which he describes as the ultimate decision-making tool. He emphasizes that leaders need to understand their own core values to align their actions and decisions with them, thus becoming more authentic and efficient leaders. This can significantly impact how they run their businesses, interact with their teams, and make decisions under pressure.

  Personal core values stem from deep-rooted experiences and feelings, often linked to one's childhood. Robert shared that understanding these values can provide clarity about past career choices and life decisions. It also helps in making future decisions that are more aligned with one's true self, leading to greater job satisfaction and effectiveness as a leader.

  Key Points and Takeaways:

  • Personal core values guide decision-making and leadership style.
  • Understanding one's values can lead to better career and life decisions.
  • Leaders need to be authentic and aligned with their core values.
  
  

  The Importance of Open Communication in Teams

  Robert and I discussed methods to foster open communication within teams. Open and honest dialogue can build a trusting environment. For instance, teams can incorporate exercises like sharing highs and lows or providing direct yet kind feedback. Such practices encourage vulnerability and the sharing of personal experiences, which can strengthen team cohesion and collaboration.

  One effective method Robert shared was initiating meetings with open-ended questions like "How's it going?" rather than direct questions about work. This can help uncover underlying issues affecting performance, whether they are personal or professional. Leaders should model this behavior to set the tone for the rest of the team.

  Key Points and Takeaways:

  • Open communication builds trust within teams.
  • Team exercises can encourage vulnerability and honesty.
  • Leaders should model open communication to set the tone.
  
  

  Embracing Technology and AI in the Workplace

  Robert emphasized the importance of adopting technology and AI to stay relevant and efficient. He pointed out that while it's essential to understand and utilize tools like ChatGPT for productivity, it’s equally important to not over-rely on them. Maintaining a balance is crucial to avoid getting swept up in technological hype while still leveraging AI's benefits to improve work efficiency.

  He also touched on how AI can assist in various tasks, like editing and creating study guides. It’s important to experiment and find ways these tools can complement and enhance one’s work, but human oversight and critical thinking remain indispensable.

  • Experiment with technology to find effective solutions.

In this episode of Hustle and Flowchart, I chatted with the amazing Allison Maslan. She's a successful entrepreneur who has built multiple companies and now helps others do the same through her organization, Pinnacle Global Network. We went through a wide range of topics, from trapeze in the backyard to scaling strategies for businesses. This episode is packed with invaluable insights. Let’s break it down.

  The Power of a Passion

  Allison shared an interesting tidbit that sets the stage for this episode: she has a massive trapeze in her backyard. Inspired by her background as a gymnast and a flying trapeze enthusiast, Allison uses trapeze as both a hobby and a metaphor for facing fears and achieving breakthroughs. Just like flying through the air, entrepreneurs need to take risks and focus on their goals.

  Battling Business Burnout

  Allison revealed that, even though she took on massive clients like Ben and Jerry’s and Supercuts at a young age, she ended up buried under an overwhelming workload. She warns that this is a common issue for many entrepreneurs who fail to delegate tasks. Instead of managing her team effectively, she felt the need to control every aspect, resulting in burnout.

  The Wake-Up Call: A Life-Changing Moment

  Allison faced a wake-up call in the form of a serious car accident, which made her reassess her life and business practices. She realized that continuing down the same path could lead to the same problems years later and decided it was time for a change.

  Scaling Strategies: Breaking Through Growth Barriers

  One major focus of our conversation was scaling. Allison emphasized that many entrepreneurs remain stuck because they don’t know how to scale effectively. She advises examining your company holistically to identify and eliminate bottlenecks.

  Practical Advice:

  • Divide your company into four key areas: operations, marketing, sales, and your specific revenue stream.
  • Conduct a thorough analysis of where you are spending most of your time and delegate accordingly.
  • Establish clear metrics and targets for every role within the organization to ensure everyone is aligned with the company's vision.
  
  

  A Holistic Approach to Business

  Allison's background in homeopathy has influenced her holistic approach to business. She believes in treating the whole business system rather than just focusing on individual symptoms. This means aligning vision, cash flow, team effort, and execution for overall health and growth.

  Key Framework:

  • Strategic Vision
  • Cash Flow (Marketing and Sales)
  • Team Alignment
  • Leadership
  • Execution
  
  

  The Future: Leveraging AI and Market Trends

  Allison and I also discussed the future, particularly the role of AI and other technological advancements. AI will replace some jobs but also create new opportunities. She advises leveraging AI to improve business processes and innovate, rather than viewing it as a threat.

  Insightful Quote: “AI is going to replace a lot of companies. You need to figure out how you're going to differentiate yourself and how to utilize AI to fuel you and not disrupt you.”

Joe Fier here, in this episode, we talked with Matt Wolfe about his content strategy and how he navigates different platforms like Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok. Matt shared his content release schedule and offered insights on the effectiveness of long-form videos versus shorts for growing subscribers and revenue. We also touched on AI's role in the future of jobs and businesses, and how Matt has been leveraging AI in his projects.

  Matt Wolfe’s Content Strategy

  Matt's content strategy spans across multiple platforms, including Twitter, YouTube (both long-form videos and shorts), TikTok, and Instagram. His release schedule is something to aspire to, with:

  • Live streams every Monday.
  • Random YouTube videos every Wednesday.
  • News breakdowns every Friday.
  • Shorts released daily, mainly clipped from longer content or live streams.
  
  

  This consistent schedule helps keep his audience engaged and coming back for more.

  Effectiveness of Shorts vs Long-Form Videos

  We talked about how shorts can boost subscriber growth but may not be as effective for generating revenue. For instance, one of Matt's shorts received 3 million views, brought in 12,000 subscribers, but only earned about $400. In contrast, a long-form video with 1.2 million views gained 19,000 subscribers and made $13,500 over nearly a year. This clearly shows how shorts can reel in viewers while long-form content can provide better monetization.

  Live Streams and Community Engagement

  Live streams play a crucial role in Matt's content strategy. He pointed out that while live streams yield modest revenue ($1,900 in our example), they are vital for building a strong community. Live streams allow Matt to engage directly with his audience through Q&A sessions and super chats, where viewers can pay to highlight their comments.

  Matt emphasized, "Live streams are not just about making money; they are about interacting with people and fostering a sense of community."

  The Importance of Human Connection in Content

  One key takeaway from our conversation was the value of human connection in content creation. Matt highlighted the trend of faceless AI-generated videos on YouTube and noted that channels featuring real humans tend to perform better and maintain viewership. We both agree that being respectful and personable online goes a long way, even with the prevalent negativity in digital spaces.

  The Impact of AI on Jobs and Businesses

  AI's rapid adoption is a hot topic, and we discussed its potential impact on jobs. Matt believes AI might replace jobs that people are generally unhappy with, offering a new opportunity to pursue more fulfilling work. He encourages everyone to leverage available technological tools to build side projects or careers, emphasizing that it's easier than ever to start a business or create content.

  Personal Insights and Experiences

  Throughout our chat, Matt shared personal anecdotes and experiences in digital marketing and content creation. He's been involved in this field for nearly 20 years, with a unique skill set in digital marketing, video production, and AI. He encouraged our audience to check out a case study he posted, showcasing his successful strategies on the platform.

  Other fun bits included discussing unusual AI implementations like AI toilets, AI e-bikes with chat capabilities, and even AI-assisted barbecues. Matt also gave some practical tips for navigating the CES in Las Vegas, sharing insights on the best ways to get around the crowded event.

I'm incredibly excited for you to hear this latest episode with Andy Tanner. Andy is known for his unique insights into investments and financial education. In this episode, we explored many valuable topics, from the origins of the 401k to the importance of financial education for families and the role of asset ownership in today’s technological world. Andy also shared his personal journey, including his and his wife’s survivorship over cancer, which has deeply influenced his approach to life and teaching.

  Introduction to Andy Tanner and His Work

  Andy Tanner, a well-respected author and financial educator, recently updated his book "Form of Chaos." He is also known for his association with the Rich Dad, Poor Dad team, having spent 14 years traveling and learning with them. Andy’s insights are shaped by his extensive experience in financial markets and education.

  The History and Evolution of the 401k

  The 401k began not as a planned retirement strategy but as a loophole for wealthy executives to defer income. Richard Stanger wrote the original 800-word section, spurred by lobbying from companies like Kodak and Xerox through Congressman Barbara Conable. Initially, the financial impact of 401ks seemed minimal, but today, they account for $11 trillion. Andy highlighted that Congressman Conable was unaware of the significance of the 401k when it was enacted. Consultant Ted Benna later capitalized on the 401k for employee bonuses, which led to employer matching and the shift from pensions to 401k plans.

  Critique of 401ks and Wall Street

  Andy criticized 401ks as favoring Wall Street due to the compounding costs that benefit the financial industry more than the participants. He urged listeners to examine the real value of their 401k plans and warned of hidden drawbacks. Financial education and understanding are crucial to make informed decisions rather than relying blindly on such systems.

  Personal Background and Family Life

  Andy shared his personal journey, including a significant experience when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago. Thankfully, they are doing well now, and this period kept Andy at home more, focusing on teaching from his home studio and spending time with his family. Both he and his wife are cancer survivors, influencing their decision to start a family later in life.

  Financial Education for Kids

  Andy believes in integrating financial education into family life. His children have benefited significantly from being homeschooled, especially during COVID. This homeschooling emphasized vital financial skills from a young age. Andy uses practical experiences and games like the "Cashflow" game to teach his kids about financial concepts.

  Investment Philosophy

  Andy advocates for business owners to leverage their profits by investing in assets to expand ownership. Owning assets is crucial in a world increasingly dominated by technology and AI. Andy recommends benefiting from AI advancements by owning stocks in various sectors beyond just tech. He values operational cash flow over mere price speculation, aligning with Warren Buffett’s investment principles. True compounding requires reinvesting profits, similar to business and real estate ventures. Andy views stocks as ownership in a business, stressing the importance of sustainable growth.

  Real-World Exposure and Financial Activities with Family

  Andy involves his children in financial activities from a young age. He shared how real-world exposure, like bringing his kids to real estate dealings and letting them invest small amounts in family ventures, helps them understand ownership. Andy talked about the concept of "sponsorship equity," stressing the role of financial education and involvement in tangible activities like stock trading and buying tangible assets like silver.

  The Role of AI in Investing

  Joe mentioned using AI tools like ChatGPT to distill information and facilitate learning. Andy expressed skepticism about current AI capabilities in trading, pointing out its limitations and inaccuracies. He believes AI is best suited for organizational tasks rather than financial predictions. Andy criticized the culture of overly relying on financial advice rather than self-education, noting that Wall Street benefits from people’s lack of know-how.

  Four Key Pillars of Financial Education

  Andy outlined four key pillars of financial education essential for investing: fundamental analysis, technical analysis, cash flow, and risk management. Understanding these pillars is vital for managing risk. He recommended "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham for insights on investor temperament and fundamentals like earnings and growth.

  Risk Management in Business and Investments

  Andy discussed that more control equates to less risk, reflecting on Robert Kiyosaki’s idea that risk is related to control. Having good business systems, like standard operating procedures, legal frameworks, and strong communication, helps reduce risk. Leadership and having a mission and a competent team are also crucial. As an investor, understanding earnings and growth serves as KPIs, which are critical for scaling operations.

  Concluding Thoughts

  This episode with Andy Tanner was packed with valuable insights on financial education, investment strategies, and the importance of ownership. Andy emphasized the significance of learning through experience and being actively involved in financial decisions. He also highlighted the need to educate ourselves rather than relying solely on financial advisors. Understanding the 401k's history and its evolution provides a great perspective on how our financial landscape has changed. Finally, implementing good risk management practices and focusing on ownership can help secure a stable financial future.

  ]]>Happy New Year! I'm incredibly excited for you to hear this latest episode with Andy Tanner. Andy is known for his unique insights into investments and financial education. In this episode, we explored many valuable topics, from the origins of the 401k to the importance of financial education for families and the role of asset ownership in today’s technological world. Andy also shared his personal journey, including his and his wife’s survivorship over cancer, which has deeply influenced his approach to life and teaching.

  Introduction to Andy Tanner and His Work

  Andy Tanner, a well-respected author and financial educator, recently updated his book "Form of Chaos." He is also known for his association with the Rich Dad, Poor Dad team, having spent 14 years traveling and learning with them. Andy’s insights are shaped by his extensive experience in financial markets and education.

  The History and Evolution of the 401k

  The 401k began not as a planned retirement strategy but as a loophole for wealthy executives to defer income. Richard Stanger wrote the original 800-word section, spurred by lobbying from companies like Kodak and Xerox through Congressman Barbara Conable. Initially, the financial impact of 401ks seemed minimal, but today, they account for $11 trillion. Andy highlighted that Congressman Conable was unaware of the significance of the 401k when it was enacted. Consultant Ted Benna later capitalized on the 401k for employee bonuses, which led to employer matching and the shift from pensions to 401k plans.

  Critique of 401ks and Wall Street

  Andy criticized 401ks as favoring Wall Street due to the compounding costs that benefit the financial industry more than the participants. He urged listeners to examine the real value of their 401k plans and warned of hidden drawbacks. Financial education and understanding are crucial to make informed decisions rather than relying blindly on such systems.

  Personal Background and Family Life

  Andy shared his personal journey, including a significant experience when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago. Thankfully, they are doing well now, and this period kept Andy at home more, focusing on teaching from his home studio and spending time with his family. Both he and his wife are cancer survivors, influencing their decision to start a family later in life.

  Financial Education for Kids

  Andy believes in integrating financial education into family life. His children have benefited significantly from being homeschooled, especially during COVID. This homeschooling emphasized vital financial skills from a young age. Andy uses practical experiences and games like the "Cashflow" game to teach his kids about financial concepts.

  Investment Philosophy

  Andy advocates for business owners to leverage their profits by investing in assets to expand ownership. Owning assets is crucial in a world increasingly dominated by technology and AI. Andy recommends benefiting from AI advancements by owning stocks in various sectors beyond just tech. He values operational cash flow over mere price speculation, aligning with Warren Buffett’s investment principles. True compounding requires reinvesting profits, similar to business and real estate ventures. Andy views stocks as ownership in a business, stressing the importance of sustainable growth.

  Real-World Exposure and Financial Activities with Family

  Andy involves his children in financial activities from a young age. He shared how real-world exposure, like bringing his kids to real estate dealings and letting them invest small amounts in family ventures, helps them understand ownership. Andy talked about the concept of "sponsorship equity," stressing the role of financial education and involvement in tangible activities like stock trading and buying tangible assets like silver.

  The Role of AI in Investing

  Joe mentioned using AI tools like ChatGPT to distill information and facilitate learning. Andy expressed skepticism about current AI capabilities in trading, pointing out its limitations and inaccuracies. He believes AI is best suited for organizational tasks rather than financial predictions. Andy criticized the culture of overly relying on financial advice rather than self-education, noting that Wall Street benefits from people’s lack of know-how.

  Four Key Pillars of Financial Education

  Andy outlined four key pillars of financial education essential for investing: fundamental analysis, technical analysis, cash flow, and risk management. Understanding these pillars is vital for managing risk. He recommended "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham for insights on investor temperament and fundamentals like earnings and growth.

  Risk Management in Business and Investments

  Andy discussed that more control equates to less risk, reflecting on Robert Kiyosaki’s idea that risk is related to control.

As an investor, understanding earnings and growth serves as KPIs, which are critical for scaling operations.

In this re-release, John shares his profound wisdom on how our brains function and how structuring our thoughts can lead to the successful achievement of our goals. We revisit the brain’s built-in GPS system, the importance of self-awareness, stress management, and the incredible concept of "innercising." This discussion was incredibly insightful, and we are confident you'll gain valuable takeaways to apply in your own life and business.

  Understanding the Brain’s GPS for Goals

  John shared how our brain works like a GPS system when it comes to achieving goals. It needs to know what we want to achieve, why it’s important, how we’ll get there, and when we want to achieve it. He introduced the role of dopamine, which our brain releases when we anticipate achieving a goal, acting as a motivator to keep us going. This biological understanding provides clarity on setting clear and detailed goals to stimulate the brain's built-in mechanisms successfully.

  The Role of Stress and How to Manage It

  John emphasized the impact of stress and how it can lead to anxiety if not properly managed. Our brain tends to anticipate failure, creating stress and anxiety. He shared the GOPA method—Goals, Obstacles, Plan, Action—to help prioritize tasks and take effective steps forward. John also noted that recognizing when stressors exceed our capacity is crucial. By addressing these stressors and demands, we can prevent them from hampering our progress.

  The Subconscious Mind and Its Automation

  The subconscious mind plays a significant role in automating our everyday tasks, allowing our conscious mind to save energy. John explained that our subconscious mind operates based on the patterns we’ve created, whether positive or negative. Repeated disempowering thought and behavior patterns can lead to the creation of disempowering habits. By becoming self-aware, we can consciously retrain and reprogram our subconscious mind to shift towards more positive and empowering thoughts and behaviors.

  Neuroplasticity and How to Rewire Your Brain

  John discussed neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form new neural connections throughout life. This means we can deliberately create new neural patterns beyond the age of 12-13. Most of our behaviors are automated based on subconscious programming, influenced by our beliefs, fears, self-image, and lack of knowledge or skills. John highlighted the importance of upgrading our beliefs, regulating our emotions, improving our self-image, and continuously acquiring new knowledge and skills for personal development.

  Commitment vs. Interest in Achieving Goals

  One of the key takeaways from our conversation was the difference between being interested in a goal and being committed to it. Commitment means doing whatever it takes to achieve the goal, such as upgrading your knowledge and skills and seeking help when needed. John stressed that the resources and information needed to achieve our goals already exist; it’s our level of commitment and having a strong enough reason why we must achieve the goal that makes the difference.

  Visualization and Innercise Techniques

  Visualization played a significant role in John’s approach. He introduced the concept of "innercising," which involves daily practices to activate specific neurons through language patterns, emotional centers, and positive visualization. One technique John shared includes taking deep breaths and using affirmations to stimulate the brain’s motivational and behavioral centers. This practice helped him achieve success in various areas, including sports and personal transformation. According to John, it takes consistent innercise over 66 to 365 days to create a new habit and reinforce new neural patterns.

  Personal Transformation and Overcoming Obstacles

  John shared his inspiring personal transformation journey, detailing how he overcame significant obstacles such as a massive business breakup, quitting alcohol and sugar, and losing weight. He attributed his success to setting a clear vision and goals, developing strong beliefs and strategies, and building supportive habits. The combination of inner (mental) and outer (action-based) game was instrumental in his transformation. He also highlighted the importance of stress management and innercises as crucial tools for achieving personal and professional goals.

  John has taught behavioral neuroscience and psychology to over 100,000 students over the past 10 years through various programs and platforms. His book "Innercise" has been very popular, achieving number one on Amazon in the mindset arena. He also developed an Innercise app, offering various exercises to improve different aspects of life.

This episode is one you won't want to miss again—Matt and I chat about how his strategies and extensive experiences in digital marketing and content creation and how it's built him a media empire. We delve into diverse subjects like the intricacies of music licensing, maintaining consistent content production, dealing with internet trolls, and exploring the exciting potential of AI tools. Matt walks us through his journey, emphasizing the critical role of video thumbnails, the art of managing teams, optimizing old content, and his shift from direct response to brand marketing.. So, let's dive back in!

  Challenges in Consistent Content Creation

  Creating content consistently while handling sponsorship obligations poses a significant challenge. Matt uses systems and teams to help manage this workload. He notes the struggle of meeting old sponsorship agreements as his audience grows, often facing backlash and negativity from viewers who dislike too many ads. Balancing quality content and sponsor requirements remains a critical focus.

  Managing and Optimizing Content

  Matt shares that when it comes to managing content, it’s crucial to have strong systems in place. Assigning team members specific roles helps in maintaining a smooth workflow. He notes the importance of continuously optimizing old videos. For example, he adjusted a video’s thumbnail and title, which led to a massive boost in views. Click-through rates (CTR) are important, and Matt emphasizes testing different thumbnails and titles for better results.

  Dealing with Trolls and Negativity

  Handling trolls and negative comments is part of being a content creator. Matt talks about developing a thicker skin and understanding that not every viewer will appreciate the content. He explains that he now focuses more on engagement through Discord and X, where more constructive feedback happens. However, he still has team members review YouTube comments for useful feedback.

  Transitioning Email Marketing Strategies

  Matt’s transition from direct response marketing to brand marketing in emails reflects the changing landscape of digital marketing. He prioritizes providing valuable content directly within emails to achieve high open rates. He targets about 35-40% open rates, with the most important news at the top followed by sponsor content. This strategy helps ensure higher engagement and a more loyal audience.

  The Value of Data and AI Tools

  Discussing the value of data, Matt mentions that his website, Future Tools, receives almost a million visitors monthly through effective SEO. This has led to acquisition offers because of the valuable database of tools and related data. AI tools also play a significant role in his workflow. Matt uses tools like Claude, which can code and create video games, and looks forward to the release of Sora for one-minute videos.

  Building and Maintaining Community

  Community building remains a core part of Matt's strategy. Engaging with his audience on social media and in person helps build a more loyal community. Active participation and approachability are key. While he focuses less on YouTube comments due to negativity, other platforms like Discord and X help maintain valuable feedback and engagement.

  Alternative Music Licensing Approach

  Matt Wolfe suggests an alternative approach to music licensing, similar to Grimes' method, where artists grant broad permissions for using their music but maintain some control to ensure it’s not linked to harmful content. This makes licensing easier and could transform how music is used in various media.

  Future Trends in AI and Integration

  AI is evolving fast, and Matt is most excited about AI integrations in wearable tech, such as AI glasses that assist in social interactions. He also highlights the potential of agentic AI tools that can perform tasks on behalf of users. Connecting AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude shows potential, with companies like Mind Studio already working on building these systems.

We delved deep into the dangers of tap water and the necessity of clean water and the effectiveness of RO systems. The episode covered important topics like how these systems work, why they are essential for health, especially for children, and the role of social media in spreading this crucial information. Our conversation also brought to light the entrepreneurial aspects of scaling a business rooted in wellness technology.

  Water Filtration Methods

  Helen explained the difference in taste and quality between regular single filters and advanced reverse osmosis (RO) systems. RO systems like AquaTru use a four-stage filtration process to remove harmful contaminants such as forever chemicals, drug residues, and antibiotics. While many commercial bottle filling stations only address chlorine and lead, AquaTru tackles a wide range of pollutants.

  Importance of Changing Filters

  Changing filters regularly in fridges and pitchers is crucial to avoid contamination. Neglecting this can result in more harm than good. Helen emphasized that even the best filters lose effectiveness over time, and timely replacements are necessary for maintaining water quality.

  AquaTru’s Mission and Products

  Helen Christoni highlighted that AquaTru is the first patented countertop RO system designed specifically for families. The company just released AquaTru Pro for enterprise settings, equipped with certified bottle filling stations. These products aim to provide pure water, free of contaminants, for homes and businesses.

  Effective Filtration for Children

  We also talked about the importance of water filtration for children, advocating for heightened awareness about environmental toxins. By incorporating high-quality water filtration systems at home, parents can significantly reduce their kids’ exposure to harmful chemicals.

  Utilizing the Environmental Working Group (EWG) Website

  Helen suggested checking local water contaminants using the Environmental Working Group (EWG) website. This resource allows people to see what's in their tap water, giving them informed reasons to invest in quality water purification systems.

  Social Media and Marketing Strategies

  Helen stresses the pivotal role of social media in making complex scientific information relatable. Platforms like TikTok allow for shareable, bite-sized content that people can easily engage with. Instead of long-form content like webinars, focused, engaging videos spread the message of water purification more effectively.

  Partnering for Impact

  Strong partnerships and authentic connections are crucial for AquaTru’s business. Helen prefers genuine relationships over large-scale, impersonal campaigns. Success in their affiliate programs comes from having a small group of dedicated partners who share the company's mission and create genuine content.

  Addressing Water Contaminants

  Helen shared her personal “aha moment” when she discovered several cancer-causing contaminants in her local water. This led to broader discussions about the limitations of boiling water and the persistence of chemicals like Chromium 6 and fluoride. AquaTru's certified to remove 84 contaminants, including microplastics, offers a solution to these health hazards.

  Personal Health Stories and Motivation

  Helen’s journey from the beauty industry to wellness was fueled by a personal health crisis—severe osteoporosis due to early menopause. This experience reshaped her approach to health and wellness, emphasizing the importance of purifying water and air as key aspects of a healthier lifestyle.

  Concluding Thoughts

  Overall, today’s episode underscored the critical nature of clean water. Helen Christoni's insights on reverse osmosis systems, specifically AquaTru, provided valuable information on how to ensure our families have access to safe drinking water. The collaboration between social media strategies, authentic partnerships, and a strong commitment to science makes AquaTru’s mission to deliver pure water and clean air possible.

Brian has an inspiring story and heaps of useful advice on mindset, taking action, and implementing rapid execution in your business. Let’s dive in and break it down for you!

  What We Talked About

  Brian Leubben joined me to share his journey from a corporate sales job to becoming a successful entrepreneur, podcaster, and community builder. We covered a range of topics like mindset, taking ownership, balancing work and fun, reframing problems, the importance of quick action, and his approach to business and real estate.

  Mindset and Ownership

  Brian stressed the significance of owning your actions and mindset. He sees life as a game where your choices determine how you play. By taking control of your mindset, you open up a world of possibilities and growth.

  Balancing Work and Fun

  Brian admitted he used to overwork, leaving no time for fun, which led to stress and unhappiness. He now understands the importance of scheduling fun and viewing problems as challenges that help you learn and grow. This shift in perspective can truly change the way you handle tough situations in life.

  Reframing Problems

  One useful bit from Brian was the idea of seeing problems as puzzles. Instead of getting bogged down by difficulties, view them as opportunities to gain experience and tools for the future. This advice came from his coach and insights by Dan Martone, and it’s a game-changer for anyone facing challenges.

  Quick Action is Key

  Brian's core advice was about minimizing the time between having an idea and acting on it. Whether it's in business or life, hopping on opportunities quickly can make a huge difference because waiting often means you’ll miss out on potential success.

  Interest in Business Over Real Estate

  Despite having a background in real estate, Brian found he wasn't passionate about it. He shared an “aha” moment where he realized his true interest lies in running and scaling businesses, which he finds more engaging and complex, like solving a Rubik’s cube.

  Passive to Passionate Income

  Brian achieved financial freedom by generating passive income, but he felt driven to shift towards “passionate income” - pursuing work that excites and fulfills him. His book, "From Passive to Passionate," talks about quitting jobs, growing wealth, and turning passions into profits.

  Building a Community

  Brian spoke about founding Action Academy, a community-centered podcast and business that provides valuable insights into commercial real estate and small businesses. The community's support has been crucial for members, helping them achieve financial freedom and success.

  Networking and Podcast Growth

  Building a strong network is vital according to Brian. He highlighted the importance of attending meetups and conferences to form valuable connections. He also discussed how his podcast started with interviews and grew to hit 1.3 million downloads, thanks to consistent, engaging content.

  Navigating Business Ventures

  Brian navigates business by focusing on growth and scaling. He plans to acquire small businesses with specific financial metrics and aims to have a portfolio of varied, stable businesses. His current ventures include a kitchen hood cleaning business and a roofing company.

  Unique Investment Philosophy

  He draws on advice from mentors, likening investment to managing orchards: focus on one business until it’s self-sustaining before moving to the next. This method ensures that each venture is solid before expanding, a strategy that has served Brian well in his entrepreneurship journey.

  Final Takeaways

  Brian’s journey from corporate sales to successful entrepreneur shows the power of mindset, quick action, and pursuing your passions. Through his experiences and insights, he offers valuable advice for anyone looking to take control of their life and career.

Today, I'm thrilled to share insights from my recent chat with Gert Mellak, an expert in online reputation and SEO. Our conversation spanned everything from proactive brand management to the evolving impact of AI on SEO strategies.
  What’s the Episode About? In this episode, Gert and I dive deep into the critical aspects of managing your online reputation and SEO. We discuss how essential it is to control your brand’s narrative actively, ensuring consistency across all platforms. Gert shares a unique experiment with a fictional product, highlighting the importance of coherent information online. We also explore the role of AI in maintaining brand presence and the shifting dynamics of platforms like Reddit in affecting web traffic. Proactive Brand Management Gert stresses that, in today’s digital world, online information is extensively accessible and can substantially impact perceptions. It’s critical to take proactive steps in controlling your brand’s narrative. Consistency in information across the web ensures that people get a clear, accurate picture of your brand. Simplicity in Brand Messaging Using the metaphor of educating algorithms like teaching a child, Gert emphasizes the need for simplicity and consistency in brand messaging. Simple, clear language makes it easier for search engines to understand and rank your brand effectively. This straightforwardness helps optimize your SEO efforts. Creating a Personal Brand Website Gert advises creating a personal brand website and interlinking it with your social media profiles to ensure consistency and enhance brand recognition. This central hub can serve as the anchor of your online presence, allowing you to control your information better and present a cohesive brand image. The Power of Consistent Information Gert shares an intriguing experiment where he created a fictional woodworking tool. Through consistent online information across various platforms, he observed significant changes in perceptions. This experiment underscores how critical it is to maintain consistency to shape public views effectively. AI Models Like ChatGPT and Brand Management The discussion touches on the predictive nature of AI language models like ChatGPT, which fill in gaps if information is sparse. Together, we explore how to use AI models to manage your online brand presence by ensuring accurate and consistent content updates. Gert also emphasizes that concise and coherent information helps improve brand representation over time. Managing Online Course Names A business struggled with discoverability because it didn't label its offering as a "course." Gert explains that search engines can’t always make connections if keywords or identifiers are missing. Labeling your services clearly helps in better indexing and ranking, which is crucial for attracting the right audience. SEO and Content Structure Aligning your content structure with search engine guidelines is vital for better indexing and ranking. Gert uses the "connect the dots" analogy to describe how search engines work. Ensuring that each piece of content correctly fits together enhances the overall effectiveness of your SEO strategy. AI Evolution and Voice Assistants We discuss the rapid evolution of AI, especially the potential updates in ChatGPT and integration with voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant. Gert mentions that even Apple might integrate OpenAI technology into its Siri voice assistant. These advancements hint at a more interactive and pervasive AI presence in our daily lives. The Role of Platforms like Reddit Gert sheds light on the shift in user behavior towards platforms like Reddit, where Google has partnered to impact traffic to traditional websites. This partnership has led to significant declines in website traffic, highlighting the need for businesses to engage on platforms where users are active. Engagement Strategy and Platform Leverage Introducing “Platform Leverage,” Gert suggests engaging users on various platforms like Reddit and YouTube conversationally. Participating in discussions on well-ranking threads enhances brand visibility. This strategy mirrors traditional marketing engagement, akin to attending trade shows to directly reach clients. Using AI Tools and Custom GPTs Training AI models, like custom GPTs, to understand and replicate a brand’s voice and style is a game-changer. Gert elaborates on creating bespoke GPTs for specific tasks, improving efficiency, and maintaining consistency. Recording and analyzing spoken inputs to inform AI training further help in capturing the brand’s essence. Content Creation and Feedback Utilization

  We delve into utilizing customer feedback to create relevant content. Gert mentions receiving 400 customer reviews, which helped improve several website elements. This approach ensures that content and strategies remain customer-focused and effective.

Managing Online Course Names A business struggled with discoverability because it didn't label its offering as a "course." Gert explains that search engines can’t always make connections if keywords or identifiers are missing. Labeling your services clearly helps in better indexing and ranking, which is crucial for attracting the right audience. SEO and Content Structure Aligning your content structure with search engine guidelines is vital for better indexing and ranking. Gert uses the "connect the dots" analogy to describe how search engines work. Ensuring that each piece of content correctly fits together enhances the overall effectiveness of your SEO strategy. AI Evolution and Voice Assistants We discuss the rapid evolution of AI, especially the potential updates in ChatGPT and integration with voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant. Gert mentions that even Apple might integrate OpenAI technology into its Siri voice assistant. These advancements hint at a more interactive and pervasive AI presence in our daily lives. The Role of Platforms like Reddit Gert sheds light on the shift in user behavior towards platforms like Reddit, where Google has partnered to impact traffic to traditional websites. This partnership has led to significant declines in website traffic, highlighting the need for businesses to engage on platforms where users are active. Engagement Strategy and Platform Leverage Introducing “Platform Leverage,” Gert suggests engaging users on various platforms like Reddit and YouTube conversationally. Participating in discussions on well-ranking threads enhances brand visibility. This strategy mirrors traditional marketing engagement, akin to attending trade shows to directly reach clients. Using AI Tools and Custom GPTs Training AI models, like custom GPTs, to understand and replicate a brand’s voice and style is a game-changer. Gert elaborates on creating bespoke GPTs for specific tasks, improving efficiency, and maintaining consistency. Recording and analyzing spoken inputs to inform AI training further help in capturing the brand’s essence. Content Creation and Feedback Utilization

  We delve into utilizing customer feedback to create relevant content. Gert mentions receiving 400 customer reviews, which helped improve several website elements. This approach ensures that content and strategies remain customer-focused and effective.

Kyle shared his unique experiences and insights into storytelling, a crucial skill for any entrepreneur. He brought in his background as a semi-nomadic individual and his journey from music to content marketing. We also touched upon the mental aspects of storytelling, the balance between professional image and vulnerability, and practical storytelling frameworks.
  Kyle Gray’s Background and Setup

  Kyle Gray, the guest for this episode, has always dreamed of having his own office. His current office setup showcases sound-dampening foam, which doubles as an interesting backdrop. Despite his semi-nomadic lifestyle, Kyle emphasizes the value of having a dedicated workspace that fosters creativity and productivity.

  Music and Storytelling Connection

  Kyle and I discovered a shared passion for music; both of us are left-handed guitarists. Kyle began his journey as a songwriter, which eventually led him to content marketing. He highlighted how songwriting and storytelling are closely related, both requiring a deep understanding of connecting with an audience.

  Transition to Content Marketing

  Kyle transitioned from music to content marketing, particularly focusing on blog posts for startups. He realized that storytelling in business shared similarities with performing music. Over the years, he honed this skill by writing books, conducting workshops, and starting his own agency. This journey underscores the potential for creative skills to adapt and thrive in various fields.

  Storytelling Framework by Story Engine

  Kyle developed a storytelling framework he teaches through his company, Story Engine. This formula helps refine messaging by eliminating unnecessary content and focusing on core elements. A particular highlight is the free 45-minute course available on his website, which helps users connect deeply with their audience through storytelling.

  Teaching and Psychological Aspects

  Kyle's work often involves reducing excessive teaching content. He addresses the psychological aspects of storytelling, noting that many people have an inferiority complex and a desire to achieve. This understanding helps Kyle assist clients in crafting more impactful stories.

  Professional Persona vs. Vulnerability

  Kyle emphasizes the tension many entrepreneurs face between maintaining a polished professional image and revealing their true, vulnerable selves. He believes that showing vulnerability can be more effective in connecting with an audience, as it fosters authenticity and trust.

  Challenges in Sharing Stories

  We discussed the resistance successful individuals often have towards sharing personal stories. Many see storytelling as manipulative or less valuable than showcasing their achievements. Kyle counters this by focusing on the emotional connection stories can create, making them a powerful tool for engagement.

  Free Resources and Techniques

  One valuable resource I mentioned is a 45-minute lesson on storytelling available through Kyle’s company. This lesson includes videos and questions designed to help users refine their storytelling process. Such resources are critical for anyone looking to enhance their storytelling skills effectively.

  Resources Mentioned:

  • Story Engine Free Course
  
  Purpose in Suffering and Personal Growth

  Kyle highlights the idea of giving purpose to past and present suffering. By revisiting painful memories with a purpose, individuals can find personal growth and business insights. This approach helps turn negative experiences into powerful narratives that resonate with others.

  Writing and Sharing Personal Narratives

  Both Kyle and I agree on the importance of documenting and sharing personal stories. Writing allows for deeper connection with audiences and helps individuals uncover new opportunities. Exploring personal history can also be a liberating process that improves business perspective.

  Mistakes in Storytelling

  Kyle points out a common mistake in storytelling: limiting stories to an introduction rather than integrating them throughout the narrative. He advises on developing multiple stories rather than relying on a single origin story. This approach ensures a more engaging and dynamic presentation.

  Descriptive vs. Prescriptive Communication

  We discussed the difference between prescriptive language (telling people what to do) and descriptive language (showing the results of actions). Kyle emphasizes that descriptive language is more engaging and empowering for the audience, making it a more effective storytelling technique.

  Case Study on Health Coaching

  Kyle shared a case study involving a health coach. By focusing on the importance of improving a child's gut health through dietary changes, he showcased how storytelling can communicate benefits effectively. He used reverse psychology to make vegetables more appealing to children, turning them into adventurous eaters.

  Power of Language and Reframing

  Kyle's approach to using reverse psychology underscores the power of language and reframing. He advocates for diverse persuasive techniques to enhance communication effectiveness. Joe recognized this method as a way to create connection and intrigue within an audience.

  Authoring Your Future

  Kyle shared his personal practice of envisioning and scripting future events. This technique, similar to Jordan Peterson's self-authoring program, helps enhance mental and physical well-being. It allows individuals to visualize and create a clear path towards their goals.

Sam shares his journey from an electrical business owner to a successful podcaster. We also explore how he balances work, family, and creativity seamlessly, along with insights about his stories, inspirations, and the importance of positivity.
  What This Episode is About:

  Sam Ramsden joins us to discuss his unexpected podcasting success, how he infuses creativity into different aspects of his life, and the importance of understanding and nurturing unique family dynamics. His podcast, "Silly Stories for Kids," has taken off in unexpected ways, reaching almost 1.5 million downloads. Sam balances his electrical business, Ramp Electrical, with creative storytelling for children. He delves into his past experiences and influences, revealing how his father and father-in-law significantly impacted his trajectory.

  Unplanned Success Through Creativity

  Sam Ramsden, originally running an electrical business, never predicted the massive success of his podcast, "Silly Stories for Kids." This podcast started as a fun project for his children, encouraged by his father-in-law. It quickly gained traction, achieving nearly 1.5 million downloads within a year. Sam shares how he uses "Suno," a music AI, to create personalized songs for people at work and social gatherings, enhancing his storytelling endeavors. One interesting quote from Sam: "What started as bedtime stories has become a global phenomenon, all thanks to family encouragement and a bit of fun." 

  • Suno Music AI: Suno
  
  The Role of Family and Personal Influences

  Sam's family plays a crucial role in his podcasting journey. His father-in-law suggested starting the podcast, which turned out to be a brilliant idea. Sam's passion for storytelling and creativity stems from his childhood, influenced deeply by his father. He emphasizes how positive influence and support from family members can profoundly shape one’s work and creativity. Key takeaway: Supportive relationships and following one's passion can lead to unexpected success and personal fulfillment.

  Balancing Work, Life, and Creativity

  Managing an electrical business and running a successful podcast isn't easy, but Sam Ramsden does it with remarkable balance. Despite his busy schedule as a father of four, he finds joy in spontaneous creativity, often attributing it partly to ADHD, which he considers a superpower in storytelling. He shares that having a supportive wife helps him stay on track and manage his time effectively. Sam’s wise words: "Balancing family, business, and creative endeavors is really about knowing what's important and giving time to those things."

  Handling Business Challenges

  Running Ramp Electrical presented many unforeseen challenges, especially during the COVID pandemic, which resulted in lost contracts and personal losses, including the passing of Sam's mother. These experiences have taught him valuable lessons about resilience and prioritization. Sam believes in learning from mistakes and emphasizes the importance of systems and processes, though he admits to needing help in consistently following them. Quote for inspiration: "Think of mistakes as lessons that guide you towards bigger success. Sometimes what not to do is just as important."

  Mental Health and Personal Growth

  Sam emphasizes the importance of mental health and seeing a psychologist to realign thoughts and provide self-grace when things don’t go as planned. He compares mental health check-ups to regular servicing of a vehicle. This approach not only helped Sam maintain balance but also enabled him to bring more joy and positivity into his life and work. Key lesson: Taking care of your mental health is crucial for maintaining balance and gaining perspective, much like maintaining a vehicle to ensure it runs smoothly.

  Understanding and Communication

  Understanding one's thought processes can greatly enhance communication and empathy. Sam encourages asking others to describe their thinking processes to understand them better and reduce misunderstandings. He highlights that everyone thinks differently, and understanding this can help in fostering better personal and professional relationships. Example shared: Sam’s nephew thinks in pictures, which was a revelation for Sam and helped him connect better with his nephew.

We dig into how these practices can help people feel more present, let go of ego, and eliminate overthinking. Brett shares his personal experiences and offers practical tips for anyone looking to improve their mental health and personal development.
  What This Episode is About

  This episode covers the interrelation of breathwork, dance, and improv in addressing mental health issues. Brett Kaufman discusses how these activities have helped him reduce overthinking, manage depression, and maintain his well-being. He shares examples and exercises that listeners can try themselves. We also talk about the importance of making "happy moments" mandatory in our lives, overcoming struggles with self-worth and identity, and the value of open communication, especially among men.

  Breathwork to Release Inhibitions

  Brett Kaufman appreciates breathwork for its ability to help release inhibitions and promote presence in the moment. He talks about different styles like Wim Hof and his recommendations for 9D Breathwork sessions. To help clear brain fog, a simple technique involves breathing in for six seconds and out for four seconds, repeated for three minutes. He also enjoys breathwork paired with inspiring music, finding it motivational and engaging.

  Dance to Let Go of Ego

  Through dance, Brett mentions how it helps everyone look unified in their perceived silliness, even without a specific dance background. Dance, he explains, helps let go of ego and clear negative energy. Brett enjoys salsa and bachata, sharing how these dances have helped him connect with his core self and find joy.

  The Therapeutic Power of Improv

  Improv has significantly impacted Brett by eliminating overthinking and requiring immediate responses, putting him in a flow state. He describes an improv exercise where participants create scenarios based on crowd suggestions, which helps with quick thinking and spontaneity. Improv has therapeutic attributes, promoting mental flow and reducing internal judgment, which has helped him overcome public speaking anxiety. Brett practices improv weekly and suggests exercises such as rapping over instrumentals to enhance spontaneity.

  Importance of Mandatory Happiness

  Joe Fier and Brett discuss the significance of pursuing activities that bring joy and maintaining habits that support mental health. Brett stresses making "happy moments" mandatory, similar to necessary commitments like paying taxes, to prevent depressive spirals. Brett's mandatory happy moments include salsa dancing, gym workouts, breath work, and improv classes. Joe relates to this idea, sharing that daily habits also helped him navigate personal challenges and find direction.

  Self-Worth and Identity Struggles

  Brett talks about going through a phase of low self-worth and the process of regaining self-love to ensure a dream life unfolds. He emphasizes avoiding internal negative voices that discourage self-worth, discussing the importance of recognizing and overcoming these internal challenges. Joe adds his perspective, noting the impact of life's changes on personal identity.

  Impact of Life Changes

  Joe discusses the challenges following the loss of his father and changes in business relationships. He notes how family support helped him through tough times, highlighting the struggles of those who may face challenges alone. Brett shares his recent experiences with ending a business relationship, the passing of a grandfather, and a breakup, emphasizing the importance of personal growth and transformation.

  Mental Health and Communication Strategies

  Throughout the episode, we underline the importance of finding ways to express and process emotions, such as through journaling or talking. Brett mentions engaging in breathwork and ecstatic dance as methods to facilitate emotional release and self-expression. Joe and Brett also discuss the importance of being well-versed in pop culture for social bonding and suggest using conversation starters based on personal interests to facilitate social interactions.

  Men's Mental Health

  Brett highlights the difficulty men face in discussing mental health due to societal expectations of masculinity. Both Joe and Brett discuss how men's suicide rates are high partly due to the lack of communication and support systems. They emphasize the need for open communication, especially among male entrepreneurs, to foster mental well-being.

  Combining Breathwork and Dance

  Combining breathwork and dancing can help clear negative energy and reconnect with one's core self, according to Brett.

  ]]>This week on Hustle and Flowchart, I sit down with Brett Kaufman to talk about creating Happy Moments by using breath work, dance, and improv to tackle personal challenges like overthinking and depression. We dig into how these practices can help people feel more present, let go of ego, and eliminate overthinking. Brett shares his personal experiences and offers practical tips for anyone looking to improve their mental health and personal development.
  What This Episode is About

  This episode covers the interrelation of breathwork, dance, and improv in addressing mental health issues. Brett Kaufman discusses how these activities have helped him reduce overthinking, manage depression, and maintain his well-being. He shares examples and exercises that listeners can try themselves. We also talk about the importance of making "happy moments" mandatory in our lives, overcoming struggles with self-worth and identity, and the value of open communication, especially among men.

  Breathwork to Release Inhibitions

  Brett Kaufman appreciates breathwork for its ability to help release inhibitions and promote presence in the moment. He talks about different styles like Wim Hof and his recommendations for 9D Breathwork sessions. To help clear brain fog, a simple technique involves breathing in for six seconds and out for four seconds, repeated for three minutes. He also enjoys breathwork paired with inspiring music, finding it motivational and engaging.

  Dance to Let Go of Ego

  Through dance, Brett mentions how it helps everyone look unified in their perceived silliness, even without a specific dance background. Dance, he explains, helps let go of ego and clear negative energy. Brett enjoys salsa and bachata, sharing how these dances have helped him connect with his core self and find joy.

  The Therapeutic Power of Improv

  Improv has significantly impacted Brett by eliminating overthinking and requiring immediate responses, putting him in a flow state. He describes an improv exercise where participants create scenarios based on crowd suggestions, which helps with quick thinking and spontaneity. Improv has therapeutic attributes, promoting mental flow and reducing internal judgment, which has helped him overcome public speaking anxiety. Brett practices improv weekly and suggests exercises such as rapping over instrumentals to enhance spontaneity.

  Importance of Mandatory Happiness

  Joe Fier and Brett discuss the significance of pursuing activities that bring joy and maintaining habits that support mental health. Brett stresses making "happy moments" mandatory, similar to necessary commitments like paying taxes, to prevent depressive spirals. Brett's mandatory happy moments include salsa dancing, gym workouts, breath work, and improv classes. Joe relates to this idea, sharing that daily habits also helped him navigate personal challenges and find direction.

  Self-Worth and Identity Struggles

  Brett talks about going through a phase of low self-worth and the process of regaining self-love to ensure a dream life unfolds. He emphasizes avoiding internal negative voices that discourage self-worth, discussing the importance of recognizing and overcoming these internal challenges. Joe adds his perspective, noting the impact of life's changes on personal identity.

  Impact of Life Changes

  Joe discusses the challenges following the loss of his father and changes in business relationships. He notes how family support helped him through tough times, highlighting the struggles of those who may face challenges alone. Brett shares his recent experiences with ending a business relationship, the passing of a grandfather, and a breakup, emphasizing the importance of personal growth and transformation.

  Mental Health and Communication Strategies

  Throughout the episode, we underline the importance of finding ways to express and process emotions, such as through journaling or talking. Brett mentions engaging in breathwork and ecstatic dance as methods to facilitate emotional release and self-expression. Joe and Brett also discuss the importance of being well-versed in pop culture for social bonding and suggest using conversation starters based on personal interests to facilitate social interactions.

  Men's Mental Health

  Brett highlights the difficulty men face in discussing mental health due to societal expectations of masculinity. Both Joe and Brett discuss how men's suicide rates are high partly due to the lack of communication and support systems. They emphasize the need for open communication, especially among male entrepreneurs, to foster mental well-being.

  Combining Breathwork and Dance

  Combining breathwork and dancing can help clear negative energy and reconnect with one's core self, according to Brett. Joe shares his additional practices, like shaking and yelling, to release energy and acknowledges the emotional release it can bring. Brett emphasizes the importance of personal happiness strategies that fit one's lifestyle, especially for parents or those with busy schedules.

I'm your host, Joe Fier, and today we dive deep into innovative financial strategies with our special guest, M.C. Laubscher. M.C. brings a unique approach to leveraging life insurance as a powerful tool for business growth, cash flow management, and tax efficiency.
  What This Episode is About

  This episode explores how life insurance can be an effective alternative to more traditional investment strategies. M.C. Laubscher shares insights on using life insurance for business financing, tax advantages, and even employee retention. He draws fascinating parallels between life insurance and real estate, two asset classes that can help you grow wealth while benefiting from various tax incentives.

  Introduction to M.C. Laubscher and the Concept of Infinite Banking

  In our introduction, M.C. Laubscher is introduced as a financial strategist with unique approaches to leveraging life insurance. His idea of "Infinite Banking" sets the stage for the entire episode. He’s known for his work on CashFlow Ninja and emphasizes gaining control over financial resources.

  Using Life Insurance for Business Financing

  One of the standout topics was using life insurance for business financing. M.C. explains that when structured correctly, life insurance can increase both the death benefit and the policy’s cash value. Policy loans from life insurance plans can be used to finance various business activities, such as purchasing property or managing ongoing cash flow. By funding policies through businesses, these policies become valuable assets that can serve as collateral, thereby providing an additional income stream.

  Tax Advantages of Life Insurance

  M.C. thoroughly explains how life insurance can be integrated into tax strategies, particularly when buying equipment for a business. By including life insurance in the financial planning toolkit, businesses can leverage depreciation and enjoy other tax incentives. Thanks to the favorable tax code, life insurance can provide dividends similar to cash flow from rental real estate. This means you can minimize your tax liabilities while using the accumulated cash value for growth.

  Retaining Key Employees with Life Insurance

  A crucial aspect of running a successful business is retaining key employees. M.C. points out how offering life insurance as part of a compensation package can be a powerful incentive. Unlike stock options that may fluctuate with market conditions, life insurance policies accumulate value reliably over time, providing financial security and loyalty.

  Comparing Life Insurance to Real Estate

  An intriguing comparison was drawn between life insurance and real estate. Both serve as asset classes that allow for equity building and strategic financial leveraging. Laubscher discusses how both are incentivized by the tax codes due to their societal benefits, such as job creation and housing. This common ground makes life insurance a viable and often underappreciated option for savvy investors.

  Becoming Your Own Banker

  One of the most compelling concepts discussed is "becoming your own banker." This involves using dividend-paying whole life insurance from mutual companies to store capital securely. These companies have been profitable since the mid-1800s, paying consistent dividends. Policies can be set up to act as high-yield savings accounts, ensuring guaranteed cash value growth and tax-free access through lines of credit. This setup offers not only asset protection and tax benefits but also predictability and clarity, ensuring business continuity.

  Financial Strategies for Your Children

  Employing a strategy that involves your children can bring significant financial benefits. By employing your kids in your business, they can earn up to $14,000 annually, tax-free. This income also serves as a deductible business expense. Setting up life insurance policies for children can result in substantial tax-free compound interest growth over time, offering far more control and benefits than traditional college savings plans like the 529.

  Mistakes to Avoid with Life Insurance Policies

  M.C. Laubscher also warns of common mistakes, such as working with the wrong carrier or financial professional. His past experiences highlight the importance of correctly setting up these policies to maximize benefits. He advises working with seasoned experts who understand these complex setups and can tailor them to meet individual needs.

  Conclusion

  This episode offers a treasure trove of insights on using life insurance in innovative ways to manage your business's finances. M.C. Laubscher’s strategies highlight the value of taking control over your financial resources, maximizing tax efficiencies, and making informed decisions that benefit your business and its key players.

Corey transitioned from real estate to the world of cryptocurrency, driven by his desire for passive income and a more satisfying career. He shared his journey, the strategies he employs, and tips for anyone considering investing in crypto.

  In our discussion, we covered Corey's successful yet challenging career in real estate, his methodical approach to investing in crypto, essential security measures, and the importance of understanding market cycles. His advice is valuable for both seasoned investors and those new to crypto.

  Corey's Transition from Real Estate to Crypto

  Corey Geary shared that he moved from a successful yet stressful real estate job to crypto due to the potential for passive income. Despite skepticism from his real estate peers, Corey found significant success in crypto and began coaching others about decentralized finance (DeFi). He and his partner Dane focused on both real estate and crypto communities, advocating for moderate investments tailored to individual financial comfort. Corey emphasized not going "all-in" on crypto and keeping some presence in real estate.

  Main Takeaways:

  • The passive income potential of crypto attracted Corey, leading him to transition.
  • Corey and Dane coach real estate professionals on crypto investments.
  
  Strategies for Crypto Investment

He explained liquidity pools on decentralized exchanges and how users can earn fees by providing liquidity.

  Main Concepts:

  • DeFi enables financial independence.

This episode is packed with fascinating insights and practical tips to combat hustle culture and find balance in your business strategies to health advice and personal growth methods. Sit back, relax, and let's dive in!

  In our conversation, we covered a wide array of topics such as autopathy, the importance of gut health, dry fasting and its benefits, and valuable business philosophies. Theo shared his personal experiences and struggles, offering useful advice and resources to our listeners. We also touched on using AI tools for research and productivity, personal reflections fueled by self-help programs, and the benefits of physical and mental well-being practices.

  Autopathy and its Benefits

  Theo Lucier introduced us to the concept of autopathy, a method developed by Samuel Hahnemann. Autopathy uses the body's own energetic information, diluting and potentizing it similarly to homeopathy, and then reintroducing this information back into the body. This practice aims to purify and energize the body's information at a mental, emotional, and physical level. Theo shared his six-month journey with autopathy and described moments of emotional clarity and relief from anxiety. He turned to Jiri Cehovsky from the Czech Republic, who further refined this method. Theo recommends checking out Autopathy.com for more in-depth information on autopathy.

  Importance of Gut Health

  Our discussions highlighted the significance of gut health to overall well-being. Theo emphasized using psyllium husks for gut cleansing, sharing his experience with a two-week cleanse. This regimen resulted in noticeable health benefits. Inspired by Theo, I started a chicken broth fast to improve my gut health. Theo's commitment to gut health also involves regular dry fasting. We discussed how gut health directly impacts energy levels and nutrient absorption.

  Dry Fasting and Stem Cell Production

  Theo delved into the concepts and stages of dry fasting, outlining its profound benefits:

  • A 1 to 3-day fast mainly repairs the gut and liver.
  • The 4th day releases stem cells, but stopping here can negatively impact their production.
  • A 5-day fast ensures proper stem cell release.
  • A 7-day fast triggers a second wave of stem cell release.
  
  

  Theo, currently planning a seven-day dry fast, explained that dry fasting not only aids in reducing abdominal fat but is also pivotal in cellular and DNA repair. He assured listeners of the benefits of this rigorous practice to overall energy levels and vitality.

  Business Philosophies and Personal Struggles

  Transitioning from health, we explored Theo's business philosophies and personal struggles. He talked about the challenges of maintaining a business that aligns with personal values and lifestyle. Theo believes the ultimate goal should not be driven by ego but rather in supporting a desired lifestyle. He faced an identity crisis after leaving his previous business, navigating through a period of unsuccessful ventures. Theo referenced Felix Dennis's book "How to Get Rich" to stress the addictiveness of steady paychecks and the certainty they offer. He also mentioned "Reality Transurfing," a book that emphasizes the importance of choice and perception in shaping reality, which he found transformative.

  Tools and Resources for Health and Productivity

  Both Theo and I discussed the use of AI tools like Perplexity.ai for research. Compared to Google, this AI tool aggregates information from multiple sources more efficiently, aiding in refining search queries. I also mentioned the value of Jordan Peterson's self-authoring program, which helped with deep self-reflection. Additionally, we touched upon the Wealth Dynamics test, which helped Theo identify his strengths as a creator, allowing him to focus on his strengths while outsourcing weaknesses.

  Personal Growth and Managing Stress

  The episode also delved into the importance of personal growth and managing stress through various activities and practices. I shared my involvement in martial arts and how it helps manage my nervous system and release stress. Similarly, Theo relayed his early experience with martial arts, noting its emotional benefits. Theo and I both agree that emotional healing is a two-part process involving discharging negative feelings and beliefs while installing positive ones. Theo advocates for methods beyond mental exercises, including Psych-K and intentional use of psychedelics, for effective emotional release.

  ]]>Hey everyone, Joe Fier here and today I'm stoked to welcome Theo Lucier to the show once again. This episode is packed with fascinating insights and practical tips to combat hustle culture and find balance in your business strategies to health advice and personal growth methods. Sit back, relax, and let's dive in!

  In our conversation, we covered a wide array of topics such as autopathy, the importance of gut health, dry fasting and its benefits, and valuable business philosophies. Theo shared his personal experiences and struggles, offering useful advice and resources to our listeners. We also touched on using AI tools for research and productivity, personal reflections fueled by self-help programs, and the benefits of physical and mental well-being practices.

  Autopathy and its Benefits

  Theo Lucier introduced us to the concept of autopathy, a method developed by Samuel Hahnemann. Autopathy uses the body's own energetic information, diluting and potentizing it similarly to homeopathy, and then reintroducing this information back into the body. This practice aims to purify and energize the body's information at a mental, emotional, and physical level. Theo shared his six-month journey with autopathy and described moments of emotional clarity and relief from anxiety. He turned to Jiri Cehovsky from the Czech Republic, who further refined this method. Theo recommends checking out Autopathy.com for more in-depth information on autopathy.

I'm excited to share some highlights from our latest podcast episode featuring Roland Frasier. We dove deep into the world of AI and how it's shaping business efficiency and creativity. Roland is a pro at leveraging AI to boost productivity and streamline various business processes. This episode is loaded with practical insights and useful tips that you can apply to your work or business right away. Let's get into it!
  What This Podcast Episode is About

  In this episode, Roland Frasier shares his innovative approach to enhancing creativity and productivity using AI. We discuss several key topics, including the concept of a "satellite brain," AI tools for business, optimizing work for happiness, and the role of technology in today’s business landscape. Roland also offers practical examples and strategies that he uses in his own businesses to stay ahead of the curve.

  Satellite Brain: Enhancing Creativity and Productivity

  Roland Frasier introduces the concept of a "satellite brain," which is a structured AI creativity workflow. AI simulates think tanks or focus groups by involving various stakeholders in a company project. For example, when creating an insurance product, AI can summarize vast amounts of information quickly, making research more efficient. Roland mentions using AI during consultations to deliver better insights. He highlights tools like Perplexity and Grok, and an AI aggregator that queries multiple AIs at once.

  AI Tools and Their Applications

  AI tools play a crucial role in summarizing information and enhancing business processes. Roland discusses several AI tools he uses, like Perplexity and Grok, to gather and synthesize data. Joe Fier emphasizes the importance of embracing smart tools and technology. Roland also mentions a tool called "chat.gg," an AI aggregator that queries multiple AIs, saving significant time in data collection and analysis. Joe shares a tip for summarizing and saving research prompts for future use.

  Optimizing for Happiness

  Roland talks about optimizing for happiness by automating repetitive tasks. Instead of making numerous personalized videos himself, he leverages digital twin technology, where salespeople input data, and the system creates videos. This setup reduces Roland's workload significantly. AI tools also helped him create voice clones tailored to different message contexts, providing more workflow choices. Roland's approach keeps him from being a bottleneck, ensuring tasks get done efficiently without compromising quality.

  Theory of Constraints and ICE Framework

  Roland follows the Theory of Constraints to identify and eliminate bottlenecks in business processes. He uses the ICE (Impact, Confidence, Ease) framework to prioritize tasks. By running curiosity-driven experiments, Roland continually tests new tools and techniques, sharing his findings through an email newsletter. Workflow management techniques such as split test calendars, sprints, and Kanban boards help him stay organized and effective.

  Customer Service Challenges and AI Solutions

  Customer service is a significant choke point for many businesses. Rapid response times enhance customer satisfaction and boost net promoter scores (NPS). Delays impact referrals and testimonials, highlighting the need for efficient service. AI solutions can automate responses, manage routine tasks, and optimize customer service operations. AI can route calls, solve common issues, and provide real-time updates, enhancing overall service quality.

  AI in Accounting and Democratizing Access

  Roland talks about the challenges facing the accounting workforce, with many older accountants retiring. AI and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) can handle routine tasks such as tax preparations efficiently. These technologies democratize access to quality services, making professional accounting and legal services more affordable and available to a broader audience.

  Balancing Artisans and AI Technology

  The episode explores the rise of handmade, artisan products versus mass-produced items. Roland mentions companies like Shein and how specialized artisans thrive despite technological advances. He shares his preference for older, handcrafted musical equipment over new, advanced versions, showing the value placed on handmade items. There’s a lucrative market for repairing vintage items, providing significant income opportunities.

  Time Management and Virtual Companions

  Roland suggests conducting time studies to identify tasks that don't bring joy or are not the best use of time. Outsourcing or automating these tasks can enhance personal happiness and efficiency. The conversation shifts to the topic of loneliness and the potential role of virtual companions. While there’s debate on whether virtual connections help or harm societal bonds, Roland and Joe emphasize that individuals should choose what suits them without societal constraints. Virtual environments like VR can also help people connect beyond geographical and social boundaries.

Hannah is an Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) practitioner, and joined us to break down the essentials of the concept and share her insights on financial health. This episode is packed with valuable information that could help you take control of your finances, so let’s dive right in!
  Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) Practitioner

  Hannah introduces herself as an IBC practitioner. She specializes in a unique financial strategy that leverages whole life insurance policies. These policies offer uninterrupted compound interest and tax-free growth. Though this might sound complicated, Hannah makes it simple for us to understand. She encourages anyone interested in finding a trustworthy practitioner to use the Nelson Nash Institute's practitioner finder. This tool can be found at infinitebanking.org. She mentions that while her focus is exclusively on IBC, she directs those with other insurance needs to the appropriate experts.

  Importance of Financial Health

  Hannah emphasizes the significance of taking financial health seriously. She compares it to the time we often spend on entertainment, urging us to allocate the same dedication to our financial well-being. This means making informed decisions and treating our financial goals as top priorities.

  Compound Interest

  Albert Einstein once called compound interest the eighth wonder of the world, and Hannah explains why. By keeping your money within a whole life policy, you allow it to grow consistently without interruption. This becomes especially advantageous when taking a policy loan, where the growth continues even as you use the money elsewhere.

  Policy Loan Details

  Hannah breaks down policy loans, describing them as collateralizing the death benefit while money continues to grow in the policy. Joe shares a personal regret of withdrawing from his IRA, highlighting the missed opportunity for compound growth – a mistake that the IBC strategy aims to avoid.

  Starting Point in IBC

  Regardless of age or financial situation, Hannah encourages everyone to consider implementing IBC. She quotes Rick Warren, emphasizing that how you finish the race of life matters just as much as how you start.

  Treat Yourself as Your Number One Asset

  Hannah advises paying yourself first by setting aside 10% of your income into savings before covering other expenses. She suggests using Rocket Money to manage your finances, which Joe also appreciates for its simplicity and effectiveness.

  Quarterly Check-ins and Resources

  Hannah's organization, The Money Multiplier, offers an implementation team that provides quarterly check-ins and additional resources to members at no extra cost.

  Whole Life Insurance Benefits

  Hannah addresses skepticism around whole life insurance, often fueled by figures like Dave Ramsey and Susie Orman. She points out that commercial banks are the largest purchasers of whole life insurance because of its benefits:

  • Uninterrupted Compound Interest and Tax-Free Growth: Policies offer consistent growth without the taxes that usually come with other investments.
  • Control Over Finances: Policyholders can withdraw money after funding for 30 days, using it for various investments.
  • No Obligation to Repay Loans: Loans from the policy can remain unpaid, with the unpaid amount deducted from the death benefit.
  
  Overfunding and Policy Mechanics

  Starting young worked well for Hannah, who began saving $400 a month at 18. Overfunding the policy through Paid-Up Addition (PUA) riders accelerates cash value growth. For instance, in a $250 premium, 40% covers the base, while 60% goes into PUAs, acting like "booster rockets."

  Financial Habits and Family Influence

  Hannah learned from her father to keep money, not just make it. Growing up, her family did not teach her about money, leading to initial poor money management habits. She now stresses the importance of tracking income and expenses and saving at least 10% of her income.

  Skepticism and the Wealthy’s Strategy

  Joe highlights that following financial practices used by the wealthy, such as whole life insurance for uninterrupted compound interest and asset protection, can be highly beneficial.

  Control Over Investments

  Hannah prefers managing her investments personally, without relying on traditional retirement accounts like self-directed IRAs, 401ks, or Roth IRAs. She values the control, freedom, and uninterrupted compound interest offered by IBC.

  Tax Strategy

  Hannah discusses her tax strategy, advocating for paying tax on money once, ideally at the lowest rate possible. She uses a system where post-tax money is placed into a policy, allowing for tax-free growth. Her approach involves potential tax deductions if funded by a business and a “1041 trust and tax structure,” similar to strategies used by wealthy individuals like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

  Trust Structure and Real Estate

  Money is moved from policies to a business trust, then to a family trust, and finally to a foundation, with a mandatory 5% donation from the foundation to cover tax liabilities. Real estate investments can also be integrated into this tax structure, providing additional charitable giving benefits and tax reductions.

  Resources and Contact Information

  Hannah encourages listeners to seek advice from tax professionals and offers to connect them with her contacts. She recommends the book "Mapping Out the Millionaire Mystery" and suggests reaching out to her via email at hannah@themoneymultiplier.com for further information.

  • Nelson Nash Institute
  • The Money Multiplier 90-Minute Presentation
  • Rocket Money App
  
  Conclusion

  This conversation with Hannah Kesler was truly enlightening. We delved into the Infinite Banking Concept, discussed the importance of treating oneself as a primary asset, and explored practical strategies for financial health. The key takeaway? Take control of your financial future with the smart use of whole life insurance policies and strategic planning.

  Hannah advises paying yourself first by setting aside 10% of your income into savings before covering other expenses. She suggests using Rocket Money to manage your finances, which Joe also appreciates for its simplicity and effectiveness.

  Quarterly Check-ins and Resources

  Hannah's organization, The Money Multiplier, offers an implementation team that provides quarterly check-ins and additional resources to members at no extra cost.

  Whole Life Insurance Benefits

  Hannah addresses skepticism around whole life insurance, often fueled by figures like Dave Ramsey and Susie Orman. She points out that commercial banks are the largest purchasers of whole life insurance because of its benefits:

  • Uninterrupted Compound Interest and Tax-Free Growth: Policies offer consistent growth without the taxes that usually come with other investments.
  • Control Over Finances: Policyholders can withdraw money after funding for 30 days, using it for various investments.
  • No Obligation to Repay Loans: Loans from the policy can remain unpaid, with the unpaid amount deducted from the death benefit.
  
  Overfunding and Policy Mechanics

  Starting young worked well for Hannah, who began saving $400 a month at 18. Overfunding the policy through Paid-Up Addition (PUA) riders accelerates cash value growth. For instance, in a $250 premium, 40% covers the base, while 60% goes into PUAs, acting like "booster rockets."

  Financial Habits and Family Influence

  Hannah learned from her father to keep money, not just make it. Growing up, her family did not teach her about money, leading to initial poor money management habits. She now stresses the importance of tracking income and expenses and saving at least 10% of her income.

  Skepticism and the Wealthy’s Strategy

  Joe highlights that following financial practices used by the wealthy, such as whole life insurance for uninterrupted compound interest and asset protection, can be highly beneficial.

  Control Over Investments

  Hannah prefers managing her investments personally, without relying on traditional retirement accounts like self-directed IRAs, 401ks, or Roth IRAs. She values the control, freedom, and uninterrupted compound interest offered by IBC.

  Tax Strategy

  Hannah discusses her tax strategy, advocating for paying tax on money once, ideally at the lowest rate possible. She uses a system where post-tax money is placed into a policy, allowing for tax-free growth. Her approach involves potential tax deductions if funded by a business and a “1041 trust and tax structure,” similar to strategies used by wealthy individuals like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

  Trust Structure and Real Estate

  Money is moved from policies to a business trust, then to a family trust, and finally to a foundation, with a mandatory 5% donation from the foundation to cover tax liabilities. Real estate investments can also be integrated into this tax structure, providing additional charitable giving benefits and tax reductions.

  Resources and Contact Information

  Hannah encourages listeners to seek advice from tax professionals and offers to connect them with her contacts. She recommends the book "Mapping Out the Millionaire Mystery" and suggests reaching out to her via email at hannah@themoneymultiplier.com for further information.

  Conclusion

  This conversation with Hannah Kesler was truly enlightening. We delved into the Infinite Banking Concept, discussed the importance of treating oneself as a primary asset, and explored practical strategies for financial health. The key takeaway? Take control of your financial future with the smart use of whole life insurance policies and strategic planning.

  Patti's Hesitance and Growth in Podcasting:

  Patti Hunt initially hesitated to participate in podcasts but over time, she discovered their significant positive impact on her life. Patti shares how starting a podcast helped her gain confidence and grow both personally and professionally. She admits starting her podcast felt daunting, but the experience turned into a rewarding journey.

  Importance of Mental Health:

  Patti emphasizes addressing mental health and her desire to contribute in this field. Both of us agree on the value of practices like journaling and meditation. These activities shouldn't be stress-inducing but rather opportunities for self-reflection and clarity. Patti often writes about her feelings and plans to incorporate this into a future book.

  Joe’s Insights on RV Living Freedom:

  Living in an RV can be a life-changing experience. I highlighted how Randy, my former partner, found joy and transformation through RV living. Patti encourages people to try RV living now rather than waiting for retirement. Start small by renting an RV for a weekend, and see if this lifestyle suits you.

  Patti advises breaking big undertakings into smaller, manageable steps. This method helps overcome fear and makes tasks seem less overwhelming. She believes that taking small, actionable steps can lead to significant progress over time.

  Beginning the RV Journey:

  For anyone interested in RV living, Patti suggests starting by visiting RV shows and talking to experienced RVers. Renting an RV for a short trip can also give you a taste of this lifestyle. Forget grand vacations; sometimes a simple stay at a campground with basic amenities can be incredibly fulfilling.

  Journaling for Mental Clarity:

  Journaling is a powerful tool for mental clarity and self-reflection. Patti and I both value journaling for personal development. Patti encourages everyone to journal without worrying about perfection. Use it as an emotional outlet and a means to unload thoughts.

  Transitioning to Independent Work:

  RV Living Practical Tips:

  RV living is not just about freedom but also practicality. Patti promotes trying RV living to enjoy the experiences. She suggests renting RVs, cabins, or using setup campgrounds to start. Comfortable trips can include amenities like a cappuccino machine or personal appliances.

  Building a Successful Podcast:

  A successful podcast revolves around authenticity and genuine connections. Patti’s podcast ranks in the top 5% worldwide, demonstrating her effective approach. Authenticity in ads, connecting with the audience, and choosing sponsors you believe in are key components of her strategy.

Our conversation focused on how to create engaging and profitable online courses, integrating mission statements, and using gamification to enhance participant experience. Marisa's innovative strategies have helped many people achieve high success rates and complete their courses enthusiastically. She emphasizes integrating mission statements into course modules, setting clear goals and milestones, and using incentives to drive engagement. Marisa's methods ensure participants stay motivated through continuous rewards and structured frameworks. Joe Fier, your host, praises Marisa's creative approach and highlights the notable completion and success rates her programs achieve.
  Introduction to Marisa Murgatroyd

  Marisa Murgatroyd, the mastermind behind Live Your Message, has dedicated her career to creating experiential, transformational online courses. As the creator of the Experience Formula, she aims to keep users engaged through a framework that emphasizes continuous rewards and accomplishments. Joe Fier welcomes Marisa, noting it's been five years since her last appearance on the podcast.

  Integration of Mission Statements

  Marisa highlights the importance of embedding mission statements into every aspect of a course. By doing this, participants have a clear understanding of the goals and the value they will receive. For instance, the mission of her Experience Product Masterclass is to design, launch, and profit from experience products. This clear mission aligns every module and training session with the ultimate goal, ensuring that participants stay focused and motivated.

  Goal Setting and Milestones

  Setting specific, measurable goals is crucial in Marisa's programs. She structures her courses with clear milestones and offers rewards for achievements. Participants can earn a graduation bonus upon completing core modules and receive incentives through "launch wings," "money wings," and "proof wings." Marisa uses private Google Docs and milestone templates to help participants track their progress. Time-bound missions with countdown timers add a sense of urgency and help maintain engagement.

  Gamification and Engagement

  Turning learning into a game makes courses more exciting and ensures higher completion rates. Marisa uses gamification strategies like rewards and points to motivate participants. For example, her “Show Me the Money” training involves setting financial goals, and participants post these goals to a community page for visual reinforcement and community support. The constant wins from completing small tasks keep participants motivated and prevent them from feeling overwhelmed.

  Importance of Human Connection

  Marisa points out that consumers now expect more than just content; they seek human connections. Moving from broadcast-style deliveries to interactive, community-driven experiences enriches the learning journey. Course creators should focus on providing access to coaching, creators, and community support to meet these evolving expectations.

  Personal Touch in Automation

  While automation is useful for handling administrative tasks, Marisa believes that human interaction remains irreplaceable. She advocates for a balance between automation and personal touch to maintain customer loyalty and high course completion rates. Joe Fier emphasizes making experiences more engaging by adding personalized communication and direct interaction, effectively encouraging people to act.

  Storytelling in Learning and Marketing

  Stories play an essential role in both learning and marketing. Marisa discusses how incorporating stories into course content can aid in understanding and retention. She uses metaphors like "climbing Mount Everest" to break down complex learning stages, ensuring that participants grasp the material. Joe highlights storytelling as a powerful tool for branding, helping to create the right attitudes and beliefs necessary for personal change.

  MVP and Structured Course Creation

  Creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) helps avoid wasting resources. Marisa explains that testing the core solution with simple models ensures the concept works before advancing to more complex versions. Using metaphors like building a paper plane before creating a jet, Marisa illustrates the importance of gradual progress in course development.

  Key Takeaways and Conclusion

  Marisa Murgatroyd’s insights on course creation are invaluable for anyone looking to build engaging and profitable online courses. By integrating mission statements, setting clear goals, using gamification, and maintaining human connection, course creators can significantly improve participant engagement and success rates. The blend of personal touch with automation, combined with effective storytelling and structured course creation, offers a comprehensive approach to delivering high-quality educational experiences.

Dave also talks about strategic investment tactics to reduce tax burdens and build passive incomes. His background and career journey add valuable context to his strategies, making them relatable and actionable for our listeners.
  Dave Wolcott’s Morning and Evening Routines

  Dave advises having an automatic pilot-like morning routine that includes exercise, meditation, and journaling. He strongly encourages investing in oneself, particularly in health, mindset, and financial IQ. According to Dave, consistent habits help in focusing and achieving life goals effectively.

  Dave says, “Over time, I understood that health and fitness are two distinct things. Now, at 54, I focus more on health than ever before.”

  He also highlights his precise evening routine, which includes foam rolling and stretching to enhance the parasympathetic nervous system and improve sleep quality. He states that a good evening routine is crucial for better sleep and overall well-being.

  Mindset and Financial IQ

  Dave discusses the importance of overcoming limiting beliefs and making educated decisions regarding financial investments. His book outlines five phases, starting with mindset. He says, “Your net worth is directly proportional to your financial IQ.” This means understanding how money works and making smart financial decisions can significantly impact your wealth.

  Dave’s Philosophy on Wealth

  Dave's approach to wealth is unique, emphasizing a combination of holistic aspects. Financial freedom goes beyond monetary wealth to include the freedom of purpose, time, and relationships. Dave points out the multiple forms of capital the ultra-wealthy understand: financial, intellectual, physical, emotional, and spiritual.

  Career Shift and Wealth-Building Strategies

  Dave shares his journey from a middle-class upbringing in Connecticut to joining the Marine Corps. His dissatisfaction with traditional financial advice led him to seek alternative wealth-building strategies. He founded Pantheon to assist others in building wealth outside traditional methods like stocks and bonds.

  Entrepreneurial Tax Strategies

  Dave dives into various tax strategies and the benefits of investing in oil and gas funds, which offer significant tax deductions. He emphasizes the importance of finding the right CPA for tax planning rather than just tax preparation. Using cash whole life insurance policies, he explains how to leverage capital effectively.

  Virtual Family Office Solutions

  Dave realized the gap in finding knowledgeable advisors and created a virtual family office offering curated, best-in-breed advisors. This solution aims to reduce taxes, increase wealth, and provide risk management for high-net-worth individuals. According to Dave, even those with a net worth of $3-4 million can significantly benefit from such a resource.

  Critique of Traditional Financial Systems

  Dave criticizes traditional financial systems like 401ks and IRAs for their lack of control and potential future tax burdens. He shares how he exited his 401k, paid penalties, and reinvested in real estate and energy, resulting in significant growth. Dave’s 401k exit calculator illustrates how reinvesting can outperform traditional returns over 20 years.

  Personal Vision and Consistency

  Dave emphasizes the importance of creating a personal vision, similar to a business vision statement. He advises entrepreneurs to align their personal and family goals, ensuring better decision-making. Consistent daily habits, including exercise and personal development, contribute to maintaining calmness and effectiveness amidst numerous responsibilities.

He says, “Your net worth is directly proportional to your financial IQ.” This means understanding how money works and making smart financial decisions can significantly impact your wealth.

  Dave’s Philosophy on Wealth

  Dave's approach to wealth is unique, emphasizing a combination of holistic aspects. Financial freedom goes beyond monetary wealth to include the freedom of purpose, time, and relationships. Dave points out the multiple forms of capital the ultra-wealthy understand: financial, intellectual, physical, emotional, and spiritual.

  Career Shift and Wealth-Building Strategies

  Dave shares his journey from a middle-class upbringing in Connecticut to joining the Marine Corps. His dissatisfaction with traditional financial advice led him to seek alternative wealth-building strategies. He founded Pantheon to assist others in building wealth outside traditional methods like stocks and bonds.

  Entrepreneurial Tax Strategies

  Dave dives into various tax strategies and the benefits of investing in oil and gas funds, which offer significant tax deductions. He emphasizes the importance of finding the right CPA for tax planning rather than just tax preparation. Using cash whole life insurance policies, he explains how to leverage capital effectively.

  Virtual Family Office Solutions

  Dave realized the gap in finding knowledgeable advisors and created a virtual family office offering curated, best-in-breed advisors. This solution aims to reduce taxes, increase wealth, and provide risk management for high-net-worth individuals. According to Dave, even those with a net worth of $3-4 million can significantly benefit from such a resource.

  Critique of Traditional Financial Systems

  Dave criticizes traditional financial systems like 401ks and IRAs for their lack of control and potential future tax burdens. He shares how he exited his 401k, paid penalties, and reinvested in real estate and energy, resulting in significant growth. Dave’s 401k exit calculator illustrates how reinvesting can outperform traditional returns over 20 years.

  Personal Vision and Consistency

  Dave emphasizes the importance of creating a personal vision, similar to a business vision statement. He advises entrepreneurs to align their personal and family goals, ensuring better decision-making. Consistent daily habits, including exercise and personal development, contribute to maintaining calmness and effectiveness amidst numerous responsibilities.

Today, I’m super excited to share with you some key insights from our recent podcast episode with the amazing Kareen Walsh. Kareen discusses the launch of her new app, Hey Kareen, which centralizes her valuable content and makes her coaching methodologies more accessible. We delve into her professional journey, the challenges she faced, and how she overcame them using technology. Kareen shares insights on leadership, personal development, and tackling self-doubt. We also explore her consulting process, executive leadership coaching, and the importance of focused learning. Kareen’s innovative use of AI cloning technology for coaching is another highlight of our conversation.
  Launch of the Hey Kareen App

  Kareen recently launched the Hey Kareen app to make her coaching expertise more accessible. The app centralizes her content, including books, podcasts, and coaching sessions. Kareen emphasizes the importance of addressing challenges directly to improve the app. The app aims to clone her methodologies and provide actionable advice at any time. Kareen shares her excitement about using technology to scale her impact and reach a broader audience more efficiently.

  Kareen's Professional Background and Challenges

  Kareen started as an entrepreneurial business coach and investor with a tech delivery background. She faced challenges in scaling her coaching business because clients wanted her specific expertise. To overcome this, she developed the Hey Kareen app, which leverages technology to provide her guidance and support. This innovation allows her to focus more on her clients and business coaching.

  Executive Leadership Coaching

  Kareen’s coaching process involves discussing year-long goals with leaders, identifying team members responsible for each initiative, and building trust with the team. She aims to understand the leaders' guiding forces and success definitions.

  Personal Development and Overcoming Self-Doubt

  Kareen advises identifying negative emotions like frustration, resentment, or anger that hinder progress. She emphasizes articulating unexpressed desires or thoughts to alleviate conflict. Self-love and self-worth are crucial for improving communication and relationships. Kareen also shares her experience with the fear of public speaking and how she developed the Hey Kareen app to support audience engagement post-speech.

  Kareen encourages self-questioning to clear doubts and gain confidence. Voicing or writing down unexpressed thoughts helps practice clear articulation and reduces relational tension. Joe and Kareen also discuss the fear of success, which often creates blocks due to the pressures of new responsibilities.

  Entrepreneurial Strategy and Time Management

  Kareen transitioned from a strategic consultant in tech to scaling her business by changing her mindset. She aimed to grow from a six-figure income to a seven-figure business by leveraging relationships and market trust. Kareen focuses on spending only 10% of her time on active business management, enabling efficient operation and personal freedom. She highlights the importance of having clear goals and a structured approach.

  App Features and Future Plans

  The Hey Kareen app serves as a centralized platform for accessing Kareen’s content, including books, workbooks, articles, and retired podcasts. It offers both free and paid versions, with the paid version providing more features and access. The app includes AI integration for on-demand coaching.

Kevin dives into the importance of completion rates for podcasts and what numbers podcasters should aim for. We discuss the deep emotional connection that audio podcasts foster, which is often more profound than other mediums. Kevin also explains the complexities and the strategic importance of deciding whether your podcast will primarily be an audio experience or a video show with audio components. We go on to cover effective growth strategies for podcasts, the value of podcast guesting, and tips on listener monetization and engagement.
  Importance of Completion Rates

  Kevin emphasizes that completion rates are crucial indicators of a podcast's success. For solo episodes, a desirable completion rate is around 75%, while anything below 55% is considered poor. For guest episodes, aim for a completion rate of 65% or higher. Good completion rates show that listeners are engaged and enjoy your content, which is vital for the growth and sustainability of your podcast.

  The Unique Bond in Audio Podcasting

  We talked about the special connection that podcast hosts create with their listeners, which is often stronger than with other media forms. Audio allows for a level of intimacy and personal connection that video or text can't match. Kevin noted, "People often listen to podcasts while they're alone, like driving or doing chores, which creates a unique bond."

  Transitioning to Video Podcasting

  Kevin discussed his experience shifting to video podcasting and the complexities involved. He explained that creating a successful video podcast requires more than just recording yourself talking; it involves thoughtful production, editing, and promotion.

  Creating a Clear Direction for Your Podcast

  Kevin stresses that having a clear premise and direction is key to your podcast's success. Decide whether you want to produce a show that feels like a TV series with an audio component or a primarily audio-focused radio show. Kevin warns against falling in the middle without a clear direction. A distinct premise makes it easier to produce solo episodes and select guests, and also helps answer critical questions about your podcast's purpose and target audience.

  Effective Growth Strategies

  Kevin suggests three core strategies for rapid podcast growth: - All-in focus on targeted marketing techniques. - Organic social media growth. - Podcast guesting. Kevin recommends guesting on shows with substantial audiences and leveraging mutual guest connections for better acceptance rates. This strategy is particularly effective for podcasters with no existing show, as it helps in positioning oneself in front of the ideal audience.

  Monetization Tactics

  Monetization is a hot topic, and Kevin provided valuable insights. All monetization strategies boil down to getting your audience to buy something. This could be through sponsorships, affiliates, or direct sales of your products and services. Aligning your podcast content with your business offerings and creating clear call-to-action strategies such as dedicated landing pages can help bridge this gap. Kevin also pointed out the importance of directing listeners to join an email list using a lead magnet and then making calls to action in emails.

  Handling Burnout and Improving Growth

  Kevin addressed the common issue of burnout among podcasters, recommending a break for those feeling overwhelmed. Focus on improving your completion rates during this downtime to make growing your podcast easier in the future. "If you’re feeling burnt out, take a step back and reevaluate. Focus on creating engaging content that keeps your listeners tuned in till the end," Kevin suggested.

This time, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ronan McMahon, a globetrotting international real estate investor, about his intriguing lifestyle and the wisdom he’s gleaned from his global property investments. Ronan sheds light on his global lifestyle, revealing how he organizes his year around 3 different bases: Cabo San Lucas in Mexico for winter, Portugal for spring and fall, Ireland for summer. His journey from the corporate world to international real estate investment offers insightful perspectives on embracing travel and profiting from emerging global markets.
  Introduction to Ronan McMahon

  Ronan McMahon is an international real estate investor who travels the world to find promising property markets. He started his journey not with a grand plan, but out of disillusionment with his corporate job. Successful property investments gave him the freedom to explore international real estate, leading him to establish multiple bases around the world.

  Choosing Key Bases

  Ronan organizes his year around living in key locations, each chosen for specific reasons: Cabo San Lucas in Mexico during winter for its warm climate, Portugal in spring and fall for its pleasant weather, Ireland in summer to enjoy family and friends, and another base in Mexico for intense business activities and convenient travel. He emphasizes that this setup not only suits his lifestyle but also enhances his productivity and mental clarity. Joe Fier related Ronan's use of bases to the business strategy of time blocking, noting how both can streamline operations and reduce inefficiencies.

  The Importance of Climate and Lifestyle

  Climate plays a crucial role in Ronan's choices. He explains that the climate of each location allows him to think clearly and stay energized. Moreover, balancing work and lifestyle helps him stay connected to family and friends. Ronan values “slow travel” experiences, such as taking leisurely ferries, which lets him observe and appreciate new places more deeply. Avoiding peak tourist times also helps him manage crowds and costs effectively.

  Transition from Corporate Disillusionment to Investment Success

  Ronan's international lifestyle emerged from his disillusionment with the corporate world. Successful property investments allowed him to quit his job and pursue a path he was passionate about. Rather than extensive planning, his journey evolved organically from opportunities that presented themselves, emphasizing the importance of staying open to change and being adaptable.

  Global Trends and Market Opportunities

  McMahon discusses the rising bureaucracy, high costs, and scarcity in developed countries. These factors drive people to seek alternatives, like international real estate investments. He identifies three key locations currently ripe for investment: Montenegro, Panama City, Panama, and Guanacaste in Northern Costa Rica. For example, Montenegro on the Adriatic coastline is attracting high-end investors due to its beautiful landscapes and strategic location. Panama offers a safe and thriving environment for multinational corporations, providing high rental yields with minimal holding costs.

  Ronan's Real Estate Trend Alert members receive exclusive deals in these promising locations, such as special pricing and terms on residential properties. A notable benefit is being the first to grasp emerging trends and potential investments.

  Tips for Aspiring Real Estate Investors

  Ronan offers practical advice for those new to real estate investing. He recommends embracing travel and experiencing potential investment locations firsthand. Renting an Airbnb for a month can provide insights into the local lifestyle and investment opportunities. Ronan calls this the "boots on the ground" approach, where physically visiting and testing locations help one understand the true value and experience of the place.

  Joe Fier also weighs in, mentioning Ronan's book on profitable real estate investing. The book is positioned as a comprehensive guide for beginners, and Joe plans to read it for its valuable insights. Ronan emphasizes the importance of investing in real estate ahead of emerging trends for maximum growth and returns.

  Key Takeaways and Ronan’s Advice

  Ronan McMahon’s experiences and strategies offer valuable lessons for both seasoned and new real estate investors. His emphasis on choosing locations based on climate, lifestyle, and market potential underscores the importance of a balanced and informed approach to investments. By physically visiting and experiencing these locations, one can make better informed decisions. Whether you're looking to diversify your portfolio or considering a lifestyle change, Ronan’s insights provide an encouraging roadmap.

  In summary, this episode stresses the significance of adaptability, informed decision-making, and embracing new opportunities. Tune in to this and future episodes for more tips and strategies to enhance your hustle and streamline your flowchart!

We talked about the importance of understanding your ideal audience, the different types of YouTube ads, and how to set appropriate budgets for your ad campaigns. We also discussed Aleric's software that helps generate high-quality ad scripts and provides a 5-day free trial to check it out.
  Understanding Your Target Audience

  Knowing your audience is crucial before crafting any ad. Aleric emphasized the power of YouTube’s audience targeting features, such as custom affinity audiences, custom intent audiences, and URL affinity audiences. Understanding what your ideal clients are searching for helps in creating ads that actually convert.

  Types of YouTube Ads: In-Stream vs. In-Feed

  Aleric explained that there are two main types of YouTube ads. In-stream ads can generate immediate conversions and sales, while in-feed ads are better for building top-of-funnel awareness. For beginners, Aleric recommends starting with in-stream ads as they offer more instant results. In-feed ads, on the other hand, can be extremely useful for promoting podcasts since they can increase watch time if served to the right audience.

  Budgeting for YouTube Ad Campaigns

  Aleric suggested starting with a minimum budget of $25 per day per campaign for in-stream ads, and ideally about $50 per day. He cautioned against exceeding $100 per day initially to allow for testing and optimization. For in-feed ads, you can start small, even with just a dollar a day, and then gradually increase as you see results.

  Leveraging AI for Ad Scripts and Targeting

  Aleric's software offers amazing AI capabilities for ad targeting and script generation. By simply entering your business URL, the software provides search data to identify what your ideal clients are looking for on YouTube and Google. It also generates ad scripts based on the top 400 YouTube ads, which ensures you get high-quality, effective results. You can try the software with a 5-day free trial to see the benefits firsthand.

  Effective Structure for Ads: Hook, Educate, Call to Action

  The structure of a successful ad involves a strong hook to grab attention, educating viewers with valuable information, and ending with a clear call to action. Aleric highlighted the importance of providing value in your ads to build trust with your audience. A well-constructed ad can create an 'aha' moment for the viewer, making them more likely to take your desired action.

  Time-Blocking and Deep Work

  Aleric shared how he organizes his week using time-blocking to focus on different tasks. Mondays are for internal meetings, Tuesdays for content, Thursdays for external calls, and Fridays for data work. Saturdays are reserved for creative work with no calls. This method helps in minimizing switching costs and focusing on deep work, as suggested by Cal Newport.

  YouTube Ads for Podcasts

  We also discussed using YouTube ads to promote podcasts. Aleric recommends using in-feed ads for this purpose. You can start with a small budget and gradually increase as you see results. YouTube is also pushing more into podcasts with new features like marking playlists as podcasts. This opens up a great opportunity for podcasters to attract more listeners.

  Aleric’s Journey and Insights

  Starting at 12 with a channel for mobile app reviews, Aleric has been on YouTube for around 15 years. His early content led to millions of views and various sponsorships. During high school and college, he transitioned to YouTube ads, leading to the founding of his business. Today, he continues to produce high-value content, leveraging the power of YouTube ads to stay ahead of the competition.

  Conclusion

  This episode with Aleric Heck was packed with useful insights. We discussed everything from understanding your audience, different types of YouTube ads, and budgeting to leveraging AI for better ad targeting. Aleric's strategies for structuring ads and time-blocking for productivity are game-changers for anyone looking to improve their marketing efforts.

Initially, he found success, but things changed when constant program launches became exhausting and unpredictable. He shifted to a membership model, leading to significant revenue increases but also financial hiccups due to billing issues. Roberts rebranded his focus toward men over 40 struggling with low testosterone, leveraging his personal experience to build a strong community and business.
  Funk's Bold Career Move

  Funk Roberts took a huge risk by quitting his job without informing his wife to pursue his online fitness business. He believed that without fully committing, he couldn't grow the business to its full potential. While this choice might seem reckless, it reflected his deep passion and conviction.

  Initial Success and Challenges

  Roberts initially found success by launching various workout programs. However, the continuous cycle of launches became taxing and financially unstable. Despite early victories, this method proved unsustainable in the long term.

  Switching to a Membership Model

  Advised to switch from individual launches to a membership site, Roberts seized the opportunity. This switch significantly boosted his revenue. However, forced continuity billing led to chargebacks and disputes, causing financial strain and emotional stress. The lesson here? Stability often trumps short-term gains.

  Low Testosterone and Personal Struggles

  Triggered by a health checkup revealing low testosterone levels, Roberts faced physical and mental challenges. He avoided testosterone replacement therapy, opting instead for natural wellness methods. His experiences of self-destructive behavior and personal hardships made him more relatable to his audience.

  Focusing on Men Over 40

  Roberts decided to focus on men over 40, a niche often neglected in fitness. He created the "Over 40 Shred" membership site to help these men tackle issues like decreasing testosterone and the "dad bod" syndrome. His goal was to provide structured, accessible resources to help them regain their health and confidence.

  Building a Community

  Roberts emphasized the importance of community and mutual support within his fitness programs. He introduced milestone t-shirts, coins, and hierarchy levels like OG and Alpha Savage to foster a sense of belonging and achievement. He believes transformation goes beyond physical changes – it’s about mental and emotional growth as well.

  Marketing and Membership Retention

  Roberts shares his strategy for converting trial members into paid memberships, achieving a 60% conversion rate. The membership starts at $29 and increases to $49. He focuses on creating a personal connection and trust within his marketing efforts, leveraging his own story to attract and retain members. He also favors in-stream ads for effective marketing.

  Engaging Programs and Challenges

  To keep engagement high, Roberts designed programs with follow-along workouts, nutrition plans, yoga, and weekly coaching calls. Challenges like the "31 for 31 challenge," where participants film themselves doing 31 push-ups daily, enhance community involvement and accountability. The programs start everyone at the same baseline, creating a unified starting point and common journey.

  Closing Thoughts and Personal Reflections

  This conversation offers a wealth of insights into the importance of commitment, community, and personal touch in business. Funks shift from a transactional to a transformation-focused approach (in his own words, avoiding "transactional marketing") has set his business on a solid path. From dealing with low testosterone to quitting his job for a dream, Roberts’ personal and professional journey is a powerful inspiration for anyone looking to turn their passion into a thriving business.

We delved into the importance of audio content, the power of podcast swaps, and how to turn audio content into a valuable source for lead generation. We also touched on transitioning from audio to engaging video content and the best strategies to achieve this. So buckle up, because we've got some great insights to share!
  The Role of Audio in Lead Generation

  Luis Diaz emphasized the power of audio content in capturing leads and driving business.** He shared a story of a high-ticket business owner who generates 80% of their leads and closes from their podcast. Luis highlighted the effectiveness of podcast swaps for tracking ad placements and exchanging traffic. This tactic not only expands your reach but also builds a stronger network within your industry.

  Importance of Core Listeners

  Core listeners are the backbone of any successful podcast.** I stressed the value of "a thousand true fans," a concept that underscores the importance of a dedicated listener base. Consistency is key here; by regularly swapping guest appearances on other shows, you can significantly boost your podcast's growth. Engaging deeply with your core audience ensures sustained interest and loyalty.

  Transitioning to Video Content

  We discussed the importance of not just sticking to audio but also incorporating video content.** This transition is crucial for engaging further with your audience. We emphasized that having a destination, like a website or social media platform, for deeper conversations is vital. Luis also pointed out that intentional video structuring and strong hooks in the first 20 seconds are essential for retaining viewer attention.

  Tools and Resources for Podcasting

  Several tools and resources were highlighted to streamline podcast production and enhance audience engagement.** Pod Pages and SEO techniques for podcasts can significantly improve your online presence. Custom domains and tools like Cast Magic and Descript can help pass over content seamlessly. Additionally, Luis shared a spreadsheet of 673 podcast sponsors and recommended 'revenueperdownload.com' for identifying potential sponsors. - [Revenue Per Download](https://revenueperdownload.com)

  Creating Engaging Video Content

  Luis emphasized the importance of strategic video content creation.** The first minute of your video or podcast should be captivating to hook your audience. Developing a strong central idea makes the content easier to package and distribute. Luis suggested that producing six high-quality videos can have a more significant impact than consistently posting lower-viewership content.

   Testing and Analyzing Video Performance

  We touched on the importance of testing and analyzing video performance.** Luis shared how successful YouTube videos are tested with a small audience, achieving 19% viewer retention. Targeting specific audiences using keywords or similar video targeting methods can impact subscribers and watch time differently. This approach ensures your content reaches and resonates with the right audience.

  Strategic Content Creation and Marketing

  Creating compelling content includes a well-thought-out process of ideation, research, and structure.** Luis highlighted that outsourcing these tasks is possible, but the core idea should come from the content owner. Successful videos often start with a controversial or bold claim to grab attention within the first 10-15 seconds. Luis also shared tips on effective thumbnail design and copywriting, crucial for attracting viewers. **External Resources Mentioned:** - [Revenue Per Download](https://revenueperdownload.com)

In our latest convo, we dive deep into strategies for building meaningful business relationships and the importance of setting up systems and frameworks for personal and professional success. Charles brings a wealth of knowledge on joint venture partnerships, relationship building, and leveraging technology for efficient networking.
  Importance of Relationships and Service

  Charles emphasizes providing world-class service and always being in service to others. He talks about high-end events and podcasts as venues where we can extend our service mindset, helping to foster lasting relationships. He believes reaching out to people we haven’t contacted in a while can be incredibly powerful. A simple check-in can lead to inspiring conversations and strengthen existing connections.

  Host Joe Fier reiterates that being useful and making meaningful connections through daily interactions is essential. It’s these personal touches, like small gestures and follow-ups, that solidify relationships over time.

  Engaging with People and Building Referrals

  Charles and I discuss creating systems, frameworks, and clear next steps for engaging with people. This approach proves crucial in building efficient referral networks. By having a defined end goal in mind, such as finding JV partners or potential clients, vast opportunities and positive outcomes can emerge.

  We highlighted the significance of understanding the type of partnerships we are aiming for. PureJV is presented as a valuable resource for those looking to dive deeper into these strategies.

  Systems for Follow-ups and Organization

  Effective follow-up at events plays a pivotal role in maintaining and nurturing contacts. Charles recommends using CRM systems like Asana to categorize and track follow-ups. This systematic approach ensures each interaction is recorded and followed up on efficiently.

  We discuss the concept of pipelines such as sales, JV partnerships, speaking engagements, and investment rounds as tools to organize and manage diverse outcomes effectively. Charles shares his method of using dynamic mind maps to track contacts systematically.

  Host Joe Fier praises Charles’s strategic approach, emphasizing the intentional and replicable nature of his systems, making it easier to manage relationships and partnerships.

  Power of Remote Connections

  Post-COVID, the way we connect has changed dramatically. Charles stresses the importance of maintaining connections through remote methods like Zoom calls and texts. He shares personal experiences that highlight how effective remote connections can be. Joe Fier relates to this, noting the significance of checking in with contacts regularly.

  Charles emphasizes the "power of the ping" — maintaining ongoing connections without only reaching out when you need something. These small but consistent efforts ensure that relationships remain strong and mutually beneficial.

  Frameworks for People Skills and System Approaches

  Charles introduces a framework that combines refined people skills with a systematic approach. This dual strategy helps individuals be dependable in communication and interactions. It lays out clear steps for engaging and guiding interactions toward successful outcomes.

  The framework also emphasizes defining clear winning outcomes when attending events. Whether it’s finding JV partners or potential clients, having a strategy and a plan ensures effective use of time and resources.

  Charles shares new iOS features for efficient follow-ups. Taking selfies with contacts and scheduling immediate follow-ups are quick and effective ways to manage new connections.

  Balance Between Business and Personal Life

  Charles speaks about the delicate balance between business success and personal fulfillment. He highlights how scheduling family trips in advance helps maintain that balance. Planning ahead for both family and work-related trips brings anticipation and motivation, aiding in achieving a balanced life.

  Joe Fier recognizes the challenges of balancing life and appreciates the systematic approach that creates freedom. Having a stabilizing influence, like a systemized partner, can further support maintaining this equilibrium.

  Charles recommends leveraging basic elements of information and task management, such as standard operating procedures (SOPs), to be more organized and systematic.

Chris is not just a great friend but an amazing business mind who focuses on providing real value without the hard sell. We talked about everything from business strategies to personal life updates, including his new role as a father and his foray into real estate. Let’s dive into the key takeaways from our conversation.
  Easy Wins in Business

  Chris Benetti believes that providing value without hard selling is essential. He shared his experience of helping people with step-by-step guides and tools that can make a difference in their business. According to Chris, “The goal is to help people achieve results by directing them to resources where they can implement what they've learned.” This approach has helped him build trust and long-lasting relationships with his clients. It’s all about focusing on the value you can bring rather than pushing for a sale.

  Personal Updates and Family Life

  In between all the business talk, Chris shared some exciting personal updates. He recently became a father of two and moved into a new home that he built. He emphasized how important it is to balance family life with work. "Building a new home and focusing on family life has given me a fresh perspective on what’s truly important," Chris said. This balance is crucial for maintaining both personal well-being and professional success.

  Business Strategies and Investments

  Chris and I talked extensively about making your business profitable to invest in tangible assets outside of the business. Chris mentioned property and real estate investments as a key area where he’s focusing his resources. We agreed that growing your business to generate profits for investments is a smart move. Chris also emphasized the importance of diversifying income to avoid financial instability. "You can’t rely on a single source of income; you have to think ahead and safeguard yourself," he explained.

  Smart Author Media

  Chris’s current focus is on Smart Author Media, where he helps authors scale their businesses using effective marketing strategies. Despite new challenges like having a child, Chris has designed a scalable business model targeting underserved niches. He validated this model through beta testing and networking. Chris has also used his podcast to establish himself as an expert and validate his models with input from guest experts.

  The Power of Giving Away Books

  One of the most interesting parts of our conversation was Chris’s strategy of giving away free books to generate leads. Chris mentioned that “Giving away free books can still result in clients, with a conversion rate of 1-5%.” They’ve given away around 2,000 books, with 10% of those people starting a trial membership. Chris also cited an example of a client who gave away fewer than 5,000 books but still made a significant amount of money from it.

  Effective Marketing Techniques

  Chris uses book funnels and employs an affiliate model to promote them. He suggested using affiliates to promote book funnels and offering 100% commissions on digital offers to acquire customers at minimal cost. Chris's business model centers around selling books with advertising and using email follow-ups and retargeting ads to guide readers to the next step. This approach helps to increase the average cart value, offsetting advertising spend. The ultimate goal is to convert readers into long-term clients.

Matt Wolfe joins me today to discuss some of his key strategies and experiences in the world of digital marketing and content creation. We explore topics like music licensing, consistent content production, dealing with trolls, and the future potential of AI tools. Matt shares his journey, the importance of thumbnails on videos, and how he juggles managing teams, optimizing old content, and transitioning from direct response to brand marketing.
  Challenges in Consistent Content Creation

  Creating content consistently while handling sponsorship obligations poses a significant challenge. Matt uses systems and teams to help manage this workload. He notes the struggle of meeting old sponsorship agreements as his audience grows, often facing backlash and negativity from viewers who dislike too many ads. Balancing quality content and sponsor requirements remains a critical focus.

  Managing and Optimizing Content

  Matt shares that when it comes to managing content, it’s crucial to have strong systems in place. Assigning team members specific roles helps in maintaining a smooth workflow. He notes the importance of continuously optimizing old videos. For example, he adjusted a video’s thumbnail and title, which led to a massive boost in views. Click-through rates (CTR) are important, and Matt emphasizes testing different thumbnails and titles for better results.

  Dealing with Trolls and Negativity

  Handling trolls and negative comments is part of being a content creator. Matt talks about developing a thicker skin and understanding that not every viewer will appreciate the content. He explains that he now focuses more on engagement through Discord and X, where more constructive feedback happens. However, he still has team members review YouTube comments for useful feedback.

  Transitioning Email Marketing Strategies

  Matt’s transition from direct response marketing to brand marketing in emails reflects the changing landscape of digital marketing. He prioritizes providing valuable content directly within emails to achieve high open rates. He targets about 35-40% open rates, with the most important news at the top followed by sponsor content. This strategy helps ensure higher engagement and a more loyal audience.

  The Value of Data and AI Tools

  Discussing the value of data, Matt mentions that his website, Future Tools, receives almost a million visitors monthly through effective SEO. This has led to acquisition offers because of the valuable database of tools and related data. AI tools also play a significant role in his workflow. Matt uses tools like Claude, which can code and create video games, and looks forward to the release of Sora for one-minute videos.

  Building and Maintaining Community

  Community building remains a core part of Matt's strategy. Engaging with his audience on social media and in person helps build a more loyal community. Active participation and approachability are key. While he focuses less on YouTube comments due to negativity, other platforms like Discord and X help maintain valuable feedback and engagement.

  Alternative Music Licensing Approach

  Matt Wolfe suggests an alternative approach to music licensing, similar to Grimes' method, where artists grant broad permissions for using their music but maintain some control to ensure it’s not linked to harmful content. This makes licensing easier and could transform how music is used in various media.

  Future Trends in AI and Integration

  AI is evolving fast, and Matt is most excited about AI integrations in wearable tech, such as AI glasses that assist in social interactions. He also highlights the potential of agentic AI tools that can perform tasks on behalf of users. Connecting AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude shows potential, with companies like Mind Studio already working on building these systems.

Sean shared a treasure trove of insights and experiences that can help anyone looking to grow their business and personal brand.

  In this episode, we dive into YouTube strategies, business success stories, the balance between quality and quantity, and some advanced tips for content creation. Sean also discussed the importance of planning and analyzing data to achieve success. It's a conversation rich with valuable information that can inspire and guide you on your journey.

  YouTube Video Challenges

  Sean Cannell opened up about an issue he's facing with one of his recent videos. Despite having 3 million subscribers, a 2-minute and 19-second video isn't reaching its full potential. The main factors affecting this are the click-through rate, watch time, and the topic itself. He also touches on critics' misunderstandings about YouTube mechanics and how he's shifted from a creator role to focusing more on his duties as a CEO.

  Transitioning from Creator to CEO

  Sean elaborated on the challenge of shifting from being a full-time content creator to a CEO role. This transition was necessary for him to focus on producing high-quality content. He believes in investing time in producing better videos rather than churning out content for the sake of it. It's a move that helps in scaling back the operational requirements of the business while focusing on content creation.

  Business Success Stories

  Sean shared an interesting story about a friend who built an eight-figure roofing business and is now transitioning into YouTube and coaching. I found this fascinating and we talked about the ability for successful entrepreneurs to buy back their time to focus their attention on sharing their knowledge through content creation.

  Balancing Business and Personal Life

  We discussed the difficulties of balancing business responsibilities with personal life and family commitments. Sean pointed out that the trade-offs and sacrifices can be challenging but necessary for growth. The key is finding the right balance and focusing on what truly matters.

  YouTube’s New Features

  Youtube's new feature allows for split testing up to three thumbnails right from the start. This is useful for optimizing your visual elements and improving the performance of your videos. Sean emphasized the importance of constantly reviewing comments and video performance but cautioned against getting too caught up in analytics, especially for the first video.

  YouTube Success Framework

  Sean shared his framework for YouTube success, which involves four key actions: reviewing, repeating, reflecting, and repurposing. This holistic approach ensures you consistently improve and strategically plan for future content. Repurposing content for other platforms and creating highlights can amplify the reach and impact of your work.

  Importance of Strategic Planning

  Strategic planning and research before creating and releasing videos are crucial for success. Sean highlighted the need to evaluate competition and identify unique advantages. The recording phase requires careful preparation, including outlining the video and setting up necessary gear. Optimization of titles, thumbnails, descriptions, and metadata ensures better searchability and relevance. The goal is to have your video "rocket" by initially gaining momentum, potentially supported by external traffic.

  Quality vs. Quantity Debate

  Sean and I dove deep into the quality versus quantity debate. Initially, focusing on quantity helps build skills and experience. Eventually, the focus should shift to improving the quality of videos as creators become more experienced. Successful examples include creators like Meet Kevin, who produce raw, high-quantity content, versus Graham Stephan, who spends more time on fewer polished videos. The goal is to balance both as you grow, depending on your hustle and team support.

  The 7 R’s of YouTube Success

  Sean introduced the 7 R’s of his YouTube success system: reverse engineering, research, recording, releasing, rocketing, reviewing, and repeating. Each step plays a crucial role in building a successful content strategy. We also added an eighth R, "reflect," and discussed how important it is for continual improvement. Sean compares repurposing content to using all parts of an animal on a farm—nothing goes to waste. This strategy maximizes the value of your work and extends its reach across different platforms.

  Conclusion

  This episode with Sean Cannell was packed with valuable insights and actionable tips for anyone looking to grow their business and personal brand through video content. From tackling YouTube challenges and transitioning to a CEO role to balancing business and personal life, Sean's experiences provide a roadmap for success. We also explored the importance of strategic planning, the quality vs. quantity debate, and the 7 R’s framework for YouTube success.

  ]]>Today, I had the privilege of chatting with Sean Cannell, a seasoned expert who's been in the game for 17 years. Sean shared a treasure trove of insights and experiences that can help anyone looking to grow their business and personal brand.

  In this episode, we dive into YouTube strategies, business success stories, the balance between quality and quantity, and some advanced tips for content creation. Sean also discussed the importance of planning and analyzing data to achieve success. It's a conversation rich with valuable information that can inspire and guide you on your journey.

  YouTube Video Challenges

  Sean Cannell opened up about an issue he's facing with one of his recent videos. Despite having 3 million subscribers, a 2-minute and 19-second video isn't reaching its full potential. The main factors affecting this are the click-through rate, watch time, and the topic itself. He also touches on critics' misunderstandings about YouTube mechanics and how he's shifted from a creator role to focusing more on his duties as a CEO.

  Transitioning from Creator to CEO

  Sean elaborated on the challenge of shifting from being a full-time content creator to a CEO role. This transition was necessary for him to focus on producing high-quality content. He believes in investing time in producing better videos rather than churning out content for the sake of it. It's a move that helps in scaling back the operational requirements of the business while focusing on content creation.

  Business Success Stories

  Sean shared an interesting story about a friend who built an eight-figure roofing business and is now transitioning into YouTube and coaching. I found this fascinating and we talked about the ability for successful entrepreneurs to buy back their time to focus their attention on sharing their knowledge through content creation.

  Balancing Business and Personal Life

  We discussed the difficulties of balancing business responsibilities with personal life and family commitments. Sean pointed out that the trade-offs and sacrifices can be challenging but necessary for growth. The key is finding the right balance and focusing on what truly matters.

  YouTube’s New Features

  Youtube's new feature allows for split testing up to three thumbnails right from the start. This is useful for optimizing your visual elements and improving the performance of your videos. Sean emphasized the importance of constantly reviewing comments and video performance but cautioned against getting too caught up in analytics, especially for the first video.

  YouTube Success Framework

  Sean shared his framework for YouTube success, which involves four key actions: reviewing, repeating, reflecting, and repurposing. This holistic approach ensures you consistently improve and strategically plan for future content. Repurposing content for other platforms and creating highlights can amplify the reach and impact of your work.

  Importance of Strategic Planning

  Strategic planning and research before creating and releasing videos are crucial for success. Sean highlighted the need to evaluate competition and identify unique advantages. The recording phase requires careful preparation, including outlining the video and setting up necessary gear. Optimization of titles, thumbnails, descriptions, and metadata ensures better searchability and relevance. The goal is to have your video "rocket" by initially gaining momentum, potentially supported by external traffic.

  Quality vs. Quantity Debate

  Sean and I dove deep into the quality versus quantity debate. Initially, focusing on quantity helps build skills and experience. Eventually, the focus should shift to improving the quality of videos as creators become more experienced. Successful examples include creators like Meet Kevin, who produce raw, high-quantity content, versus Graham Stephan, who spends more time on fewer polished videos. The goal is to balance both as you grow, depending on your hustle and team support.

  The 7 R’s of YouTube Success

  Sean introduced the 7 R’s of his YouTube success system: reverse engineering, research, recording, releasing, rocketing, reviewing, and repeating. Each step plays a crucial role in building a successful content strategy. We also added an eighth R, "reflect," and discussed how important it is for continual improvement. Sean compares repurposing content to using all parts of an animal on a farm—nothing goes to waste. This strategy maximizes the value of your work and extends its reach across different platforms.

  Conclusion

  This episode with Sean Cannell was packed with valuable insights and actionable tips for anyone looking to grow their business and personal brand through video content. From tackling YouTube challenges and transitioning to a CEO role to balancing business and personal life, Sean's experiences provide a roadmap for success. We also explored the importance of strategic planning, the quality vs. quantity debate, and the 7 R’s framework for YouTube success.

Sarah Hardwick, is on and sharing some truly eye-opening insights about the world of equity crowdfunding. In our conversation, Sarah covered the benefits of exit strategies for early-stage investors, the difference between rewards-based and equity crowdfunding, and the importance of community and communication for successful campaigns. She shared case studies, such as Aptera Motors, which successfully raised over 100 million dollars through crowdfunding, as well as other companies she's worked with that aim to change the world.
  Exit Strategies for Early-Stage Investors

  Sarah discussed how early-stage investors can potentially benefit from strategies like going public (IPO) or getting acquired. She explained that having a clear exit strategy can make a huge difference for investors, providing them with rewards for their risks and investments.

  Rewards-Based vs Equity Crowdfunding

  Crowdfunding isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. Sarah explained the difference between rewards-based and equity crowdfunding. Rewards-based crowdfunding offers backers a tangible product or service in return, while equity crowdfunding allows the public to invest money in exchange for shares in the company. She emphasized that equity crowdfunding involves a lot more regulations but offers startups more control and power.

  Case Study: Aptera Motors

  We dove deep into the success story of Aptera Motors. Aptera, a company that focuses on solar electric vehicles, raised over 100 million dollars through equity crowdfunding. They transitioned from a regulation CF to a regulation A+ campaign to achieve this feat. Sarah highlighted the importance of their well-produced video, which garnered 1.6 million views and widespread interest by being compared to the Batmobile.

  Community Building and Investor Communication

  Sarah emphasized the importance of transparency and regular communication with investors. She explained that there's often an overlap between customers and investors, and keeping open lines of communication can lead to additional investments and upsells. A robust community can be a game-changer in your equity crowdfunding campaign's success.

  The Role of Emotional Connection and Values

  We talked about the significance of values marketing and connecting with customers on an emotional level. Sarah said, "Understanding why people invest and aligning a company’s purpose with a community creates more than transactions—it builds movements." She shared how tapping into emotions can drive successful crowdfunding campaigns.

  Sarah’s Work with Geoship and Doroni Aerospace

  Sarah works with other incredible companies like Geoship and Doroni Aerospace. Geoship focuses on regenerative communities and innovative homes made from bio-ceramic materials, while Daroni aims to revolutionize transportation with flying cars. Both companies embody the futuristic and world-changing themes that resonate well with early adopters and disruptors.

  Engaging Ambassadors and Community Members

  We discussed how Sarah effectively mobilized a core group of supporters. These ambassadors feel special thanks to rewards and exclusive information, similar to street teams for bands. This approach generated incredible growth, leading to over 45,000 followers and 16,000 investors.

  The Importance of Maintaining Personal Values

  In the end, we talked about staying true to personal values. Sarah highlighted the importance of not getting distracted by money and hustle. She believes in making a positive impact and doing meaningful work, which keeps her excited and motivated.

  Conclusion

  Our conversation with Sarah Hardwick was chock-full of valuable insights on equity crowdfunding, community building, and values marketing. Sarah's focus on aligning a company's mission with its community and maintaining transparency and emotional connections with investors offers a blueprint for success. Make sure to connect with Sarah on LinkedIn if you're interested in becoming part of the crowdfunding community.

I'm excited to have Jacob Gooden guesting with me today. It's been an episode 5 years in the making! Together, we dive into everything from content creation tips to navigating the world of podcasting with the right tools and mindset. We've packed this episode with valuable insights that any content creator, whether newbie or experienced, can benefit from.
  Benefits of Social Platforms

  Finding the core thing and using social platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter helps you reach more people. Social platforms are not just for fun; they can be powerful tools to get your message out. They let you connect with your audience more personally and share your content widely.

  Manageable Content Creation

  Jacob advises not to bite off more than you can chew. Start with a level of content creation that feels manageable and scale up as you see returns. Focus on creating consistent, valuable content even if it's not perfect at first. Doing this helps you avoid burnout while allowing you to grow your content steadily.

  Making Content Your Own

  Both Jacob and I agree on the importance of making your content your own. It's crucial to have fun with it and connect with your audience on a deeper level. Start with what you have, even if it's messy. Authenticity resonates with people far more than overly polished content.

  Redefining a Podcast

  Redefining a podcast involves making it fun and engaging. You don't need expensive equipment to start. Jacob suggests using tools like continuity cameras and basic editing software to get started. The goal is to create engaging content right from the get-go.

  Editor vs. Producer

  Jacob discusses the roles of an editor and a producer. An editor focuses on refining the content, but a producer enhances the overall experience by exploring industry trends and making the show better. Knowing the difference helps set proper expectations when hiring someone for your podcast.

  Client Expectations and Training

  Jacob talks about the challenges of working with clients, especially those unsure about their vision. He recommends doing a test episode at a discounted rate for new clients. This helps gauge compatibility before committing to a longer-term arrangement. Open communication and two-way feedback are crucial in this process.

  Useful Tools for Content Creation

  We mentioned several tools like Oasis.com and Otter, which help capture and organize thoughts for content creation. Speaking thoughts into existence with these tools eases the daily juggle of tasks. Descript stands out for its AI capabilities in video and audio editing, serving as a foundational tool in our workflow.

  Accessibility of Creating Content

  Creating content is more accessible than ever. You can start with readily available tools like smartphones and laptops. It's not necessary to invest in expensive equipment right away. Gain some experience first, and then consider upgrading as you see fit.

  Importance of Focused Content Creation

  Trying to be everywhere can be overwhelming. Instead, hone in on what works best for your content. For instance, focusing on LinkedIn and Instagram can be more effective if that's where your audience is. Strategic experimentation and testing with different platforms help determine where your content is most valuable.

I'm excited to have Will Ford join us today. Will shares crowdfunding secrets from his business LaunchBoom, to help entrepreneurs to successfully launch their products on Kickstarter and Indiegogo. We're diving deep into how Will successfully pivoted his business from an agency model to a coaching and consulting powerhouse. Let’s get started and break down what we talked about.

  https://youtu.be/XWPax1yKnjA

  LaunchBoom’s Success Story

  LaunchBoom started with 15 launches in its first year, and these generated over six figures each. Their success caught the eye of Kickstarter and Indiegogo, leading to valuable partnerships that brought in more business directly from these platforms. In 2021, Will realized the limits of the agency model and transitioned to coaching, which proved successful by January 2023. Last year was LaunchBoom's best under the new model.

  The Power of Prelaunch Systems

  A cornerstone of LaunchBoom's strategy is its robust prelaunch system. This system helps clients fail fast and cheap, saving both time and money. They onboard about 100 new products each month, continually improving their prelaunch strategies. Campaigns average a funding time of under 14 minutes, frequently exceeding their goals.

  Strategic Use of Crowdfunding Platforms

  Will emphasized how crucial early success is on platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo. Successful campaigns gain top placement and drive more traffic. His strategy is to create enticing options for backers to maximize revenue per contributor. LaunchBoom's reservoir of 10 million backer emails and AI tech has also reduced ad costs, building larger prelaunch audiences.

  Engaging Backer Communities

  Will highlighted the importance of integrating with backer communities on crowdfunding platforms. This engagement has vastly increased the number of deals, from 15 in 2015 to 100 in 2016. They run Facebook and Instagram ads before the campaign to build up a list and achieve a 4% average conversion rate. Their reservation funnel model, inspired by Tesla, has significantly increased engagement and conversion rates.

  Lessons from Scaling

  Scaling LaunchBoom came with its challenges, from dealing with countless samples and prototypes to keeping morale high through camaraderie and focus. Will shared stories like delivering products to campaign managers for testing and experiencing space issues at home due to the influx of boxes, which his wife was not thrilled about!

  Upgrading Technology and AI Plugins

  Will explained how he upgraded the tech stack at LaunchBoom, adding AI plugins to speed up Kickstarter and Indiegogo launches. This update significantly reduced the time and cost associated with campaign launches. By leveraging AI, they managed to expedite processes and improve the overall client experience.

  One-to-Many Coaching Model

  The one-to-many coaching model allows clients to benefit from each other's questions and support. This setup is not only cost-effective but provides a platform where everyone learns more collectively. Will's programs are affordable, priced under $10,000, without any commission. He emphasized that this model helps in fostering a supportive community of like-minded creators.

  Crowdfunding as a Validation Tool

  Will discussed the importance of using crowdfunding to validate and test consumer product ideas. LaunchBoom specializes in helping tangible hardware and consumer products succeed on platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo. Crowdfunding allows entrepreneurs to presell products, minimizing risk and gauging demand early on. Will called it a "no-brainer" for anyone looking to launch a new product.

  Future Prospects and Concluding Thoughts

  Will Ford's motivation comes from his passion for helping people and his excitement for building a global enterprise. Despite initial fears about the pandemic's impact on crowdfunding, LaunchBoom saw substantial growth. Will's openness to learning and innovation in this space has positioned LaunchBoom for ongoing success. At the end of our chat, Will invited listeners to check out LaunchBoom for free educational resources and the option to connect with a team member. We wrapped up with mutual appreciation and well wishes, excited about future collaborations. If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur or already in the product launch game, you’ll find this episode full of actionable insights and inspiring stories. Be sure to give it a listen for a deeper dive into the world of crowdfunding and launching new consumer products. Thanks for tuning in, and until next time, keep hustling!

I'm Joe Fier, your host, and today, we're diving into the world of networking and personal growth based on Joe Polish's book, "What's In It For Them." I'm excited to share insights on how to improve your interactions with others and elevate your business strategies by leveraging the latest tools and books. Let's jump right in!
  Building Stronger Connections

  This episode explores improving your networking skills based on Joe Polish's book, "What's In It For Them." Joe Polish is a well-known figure in the business world, running high-level masterminds and helping elite business owners and marketers. His book outlines nine genius networking principles to help you open doors in your personal and professional life. Useful Links: What's In It For Them

  Be Useful, Grateful, and Valuable

  The first key takeaway is the importance of being useful, grateful, and valuable to people around you. Imagine how you can help others and show appreciation. This mindset shift can change how you approach situations and build stronger relationships. Joe Polish emphasizes the need to be there for others and provide actual value. Quick story: Mike Koenigs and I recently led a workshop at Joe Polish's Genius Network headquarters. We showed business owners how to use AI to scale their productivity. It was an incredible experience that highlighted the importance of being useful and providing value in real-time. Action Step: Time-block daily to send personalized messages to people in your world. Use tools like Loom to make your communications more engaging and genuine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91sPkvexGkg

  Be Fun, Memorable, and Yourself

  The second principle is to be fun, memorable, and true to yourself. Avoid being too formal or trying to fit into someone else's expectations. Authenticity builds stronger connections and makes you more memorable. Asking genuine questions and sharing personal stories can help you connect on a deeper level. Don't hesitate to inject humor and be open about your own experiences, even if they aren't perfect. This builds rapport and makes interactions more enjoyable. Action Step: Ask genuine questions and share personal stories in your conversations. Be yourself, and don't put on a mask to impress others.

  Give Value On the Spot

  The final principle is to give value on the spot. Joe Polish talks about the importance of doing things quickly and not waiting to follow up later. Using David Allen's two-minute rule from the "Getting Things Done" method can help you implement this principle. If you can complete a task in under two minutes, do it immediately. This could be sending a quick message, connecting people, or providing immediate feedback. This approach builds trust and shows that you value the other person's time. Action Step: Apply the two-minute rule in your daily interactions. If you can help someone or complete a task quickly, do it right away.

  Conclusion

  In this episode we explored how to build stronger connections with Joe Polish's networking principles. By being useful, grateful, and valuable, being yourself, and giving value on the spot, you can create lasting relationships and elevate your business success. Thank you for tuning in!

We had a fantastic conversation about the importance of integrating impact initiatives into business operations. We talked about how businesses can multiply their good deeds, benefit from referrals, and create long-term positive changes. This episode is packed with inspirational stories, valuable insights, and practical strategies. Let’s get started!

  https://youtu.be/QoxQGJJ3Ar8

  Introduction to Impact Initiatives

  In this episode, Randy and I discussed why it's crucial for businesses to include impact initiatives in their daily operations. We shared how doing good can create a ripple effect that benefits everyone involved. Randy told a heartwarming story about his friend who offered cheaper merchant processing and donated part of the profits to charity. This initiative not only helped businesses save money but also made a significant difference in the community.

  The Power of Referrals and Long-Term Impact

  Randy and I emphasized the power of referrals and the lasting impact they have when you integrate giving as a core value of your business. Referrals aren’t just about getting more clients; they’re about building trust and creating a community that believes in the same values.

  Randy’s 30-Day Impact Sprint Program

  Randy introduced his 30-day impact sprint program, designed to help businesses launch impactful initiatives efficiently. This program includes charity partner vetting, creating impact initiatives, and developing marketing strategies—all within 30 days. Randy explained that having a clear plan and commitment can make a world of difference in how businesses execute their charitable activities.

  Law of Reciprocity and the Value of Giving

  We dived into the concept of the Law of Reciprocity, which is all about the impact of giving regardless of financial status. Both Randy and I shared personal stories about how small financial contributions can bring immense joy and satisfaction. Randy talked about how giving should be a part of your brand’s ethos, which builds trust and loyalty among customers and employees.

  Shifting Business Motivations from Wealth to Impact

  In our discussion, Randy shared his personal journey from being driven by financial success to focusing on making an impact. The quote, "If you want to make a million dollars a year, build a business that does 2 million, give a million dollars away, and you'll be the happiest millionaire on the planet," really hit home. Randy’s motivation shifted when he realized the joy and satisfaction that came from supporting causes he cared about, like helping children in sports.

  Consumer Behavior and Business Trends

  Randy and I explored how consumer behavior is changing. More people prefer and trust brands that give back to the community. We shared some eye-opening statistics:

  • 80% remember a brand's name more when they talk about their impact.
  • Consumers are 4.5 times more likely to refer a brand that emphasizes its impact.
  • 91% of employees are happier if their employer talks about their impact.
  • 78% will pay more for a brand known for giving.
  • 95% of millennial females trust brands more that share their impact.
  
  

  These stats underline the significance of being a business that not only aims for profit but also focuses on giving back.

  Authenticity in Impact Initiatives

  We discussed the importance of authentic impact. Businesses worry about coming off as insincere or just using charity for marketing. Randy advised making impact a core value, not just an add-on. Building a brand culture around genuine impact helps in gaining customer trust and loyalty.

  Impact in the Buyer’s Journey

  Impact initiatives can capture and retain customer attention at various touchpoints—social media, websites, sales calls, and email newsletters. We talked about how incorporating impact-related messages can make a huge difference, especially with millennial females, who are more likely to remain loyal and advocate for brands that share their impact stories.

From boosting customer loyalty to building a happier workforce, the positive effects are clear. We hope our discussion inspires you to think about how your business can make a difference. Remember, even small steps towards giving can create a huge ripple effect.

Understanding what you want is crucial, and I share stories, strategies, and practical steps to help you put this into practice. We'll also discuss the importance of taking action and being useful to others in achieving your goals.
  The Importance of Deciding What You Want

  Deciding what you want is the foundation for everything else. Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best: "Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen." Life has different seasons, and your decisions should reflect your current stage. It's essential to identify the direction you want to go and the impact you want to make. Decision-making provides clarity, making it easier to map out the steps to achieve your goals.

  Taking Action Once You've Made a Decision

  After deciding what you want, action is crucial. Planning alone is not enough. Action involves communicating your goals, starting projects, and seeking feedback. It's important to share your goals and being open to feedback from others. By doing this, you enable others to assist you on your journey and create opportunities for success. Key Points: - Communicating your goals helps to set things in motion. - Feedback from trusted individuals can guide your actions. - Actively participate in communities to expand your reach.

  Being Useful to Others

  One important strategy in achieving your goals is being useful to others. Offering value in others' lives can create opportunities and open doors. Joe Polish believes that proximity—both physical and virtual—is vital in maintaining relationships and staying top of mind. The more useful you are, the more likely people are to support you and contribute to your success. Key Points: - Offer value to others to create opportunities. - Maintain regular communication to stay top of mind. - Build strong relationships to foster mutual support.

  Real-Life Examples and Inspirational Quotes

  I shared Keara Palmay's inspiring story to illustrate these concepts. After battling cancer at a young age, Keara made the decision to take action in her life. She started a business, moved into marketing, and worked with notable figures like Tony Robbins. Her journey exemplifies the power of decision and action. Inspirational Quote: "Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen." – Ralph Waldo Emerson

  Practical Steps for Implementation

  Here’s a straightforward framework to help you put these ideas into practice: 1. Identify Your Goals: Reflect on what you truly want and break it down into actionable steps. 2. Take Action: Start small if needed, communicate your goals, and seek feedback. Don’t wait for perfection. 3. Be Useful: Think about how you can help others and build strong, value-based relationships.

  Conclusion

  Deciding what you want and taking action are powerful steps toward achieving your goals. Being useful to others amplifies your efforts and creates more opportunities. Reflect on your goals, start taking action, and remember to offer value to those around you. By following these steps, you can create momentum and move closer to your desired outcomes. Let me know your thoughts, and if there are any topics you want to hear more about on the show. Until next time, go be useful and take massive action!

I recently got some great insights at a mastermind workshop at Joe Polish’s Genius Network and I can't wait to share them with you. We're also touching on how we can shift our focus to align better with our long-term goals.
  Common Uncertainties and Anxiety in Entrepreneurs

  Entrepreneurs often find themselves tangled in uncertainty and anxiety. I can relate personally to these feelings, which can cause us to lose focus on our core strengths and priorities. Many of us are currently reassessing our paths and questioning why we do what we do. This reflection is crucial in an ever-evolving business landscape.

  Insights from Genius Network

  I recently co-hosted a mastermind workshop with Mike Koenigs at Joe Polish’s Genius Network. Our focus was on harnessing the power of AI to boost productivity, marketing, and overall business growth. What struck me most was the common feeling of uncertainty among all the high-level entrepreneurs present. This made me realize how important it is to frequently reassess our goals and motives.

  Shifting Focus to Passive Income

  In a recent episode, I had a great chat with Tom Burns. Tom transitioned from being a doctor to generating passive income through real estate. This has been a big area of focus for me as well. It's important to align daily work with long-term goals to achieve financial freedom. I often reflect on Robert Kiyosaki’s book, “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” which played a significant role in shaping my entrepreneurial mindset.

  Technological Changes and Their Impact

  AI and technology are changing at an incredible pace. I talked about Chat GPT-4 and how it's been a game changer in just a few weeks. These rapid advancements can revolutionize industries but also pose a threat to certain jobs. It's vital to stay informed and adapt your strategies. Big shoutout to Matt Wolfe for keeping up with AI news. Keep an eye on him for the latest updates.

  Mental Health and Entrepreneurial Pressures

  The mental health of entrepreneurs is often under pressure due to the demands of running a business. Easy, lucrative, and fun (ELF) businesses, a concept shared by Joe Polish, are something I strive for. It's important to align your work with broader life goals, especially those related to family and personal satisfaction. Take a step back, evaluate your tasks, and make sure they align with what you truly want to achieve.

  Closing Thoughts

  In this episode, I emphasized the importance of re-evaluating and realigning our business goals with our personal values and long-term aspirations. Staying informed about technological advancements, prioritizing mental health, and creating ELF businesses are key takeaways. This episode serves as a wake-up call to assess our current paths and make necessary adjustments for a more fulfilling entrepreneurial journey.

The Kolbe Assessment differs from traditional assessments like DISC or Myers-Briggs by focusing on your instinctual actions rather than your thoughts or emotions. Joe shares the importance of leveraging this understanding to improve communication, team dynamics, productivity, and decision-making skills.
  The Importance of Understanding Your Superpowers

  Joe delves into the significance of knowing your innate abilities by discussing the limitations of focusing solely on strengths and weaknesses. He highlights how the Kolbe Assessment uncovers your natural instincts for problem-solving, decision-making, and action-taking, essential for maximizing your potential as an entrepreneur.

  Delving into the Kolbe Assessment

  The Kolbe Assessment comprises four categories: Fact Finder, Follow Through, Quick Start, and Implementer. Joe walks through his personal Kolbe results (5-3-9-3) and explains each category's implications. For instance, a high Quick Start denotes a propensity for innovation and rapid problem-solving, while a low Follow Through suggests a preference for adapting over maintaining systems.

  Harnessing Your Unique Energy with Kolbe

  Joe emphasizes the importance of aligning your energy with your strengths to optimize performance. He discusses how the Kolbe Assessment provides actionable insights on utilizing your mental energy efficiently across different functions. By understanding where your energy is best allocated, you can focus on activities that play to your strengths and delegate tasks that are energy-intensive but not in alignment with your natural inclinations.

  Strategies for Effective Time Management

  Time management is a common challenge for many entrepreneurs, especially those with high Quick Start tendencies like Joe. He shares insights from his Kolbe results on prioritizing tasks based on your innate strengths. By sequencing activities in a Quick Start - Fact Finder - Follow Through - Implementer order, you can leverage your superpowers for efficient problem-solving and productivity.

  Conclusion

  In wrapping up, Joe reiterates the transformative impact of the Kolbe Assessment in unlocking your superpowers and optimizing your entrepreneurial journey. By understanding your innate abilities and aligning your energy with your strengths, you can enhance communication, team collaboration, and overall performance. Embrace your unique instincts, leverage your superpowers, and watch your entrepreneurial endeavors flourish.

Justin, with his extensive background as a journalist and an entrepreneur, shares invaluable insights into how visionaries operate, the importance of emotional connections, and leveraging intuition for a fulfilling life.

  Justin's unique views on creating meaningful connections and his experiences in building a vibrant community of innovators are not only inspiring but also provide practical advice for anyone looking to elevate their personal and professional lives.

  Perception of News and Politics

  Justin discusses his transition from journalism to entrepreneurship, expressing discontent with the negativity often prevalent in news. He emphasizes the significance of focusing on impactful and positive storytelling, which led him to establish his own firm centered around connecting and elevating other visionaries. Justin's shift from reporting news to creating value through stories sets an inspiring example for others in the media and communication fields.

  The Visionary's Journey

  In this episode, Justin elaborates on the traits of visionaries, who are often misunderstood by society. He recalls a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson on greatness and misunderstanding, suggesting that true visionaries push boundaries and innovate outside conventional norms. He also shares personal anecdotes, including one about his son’s drawing, which symbolizes the complexities of balancing visionary traits with stabilizing forces in relationships and business partnerships.

  The Role of Intuition

  One of the critical themes of our conversation is the powerful role of intuition in the life of visionaries. Justin discusses how trusting your gut and heart over your mind can lead to more meaningful and impactful decisions. He stresses the importance of intuitive decision-making in avoiding life's noise, which often leads to anxiety and impeded creativity.

  The Power of Play and Entrepreneurship

  Justin links the concept of play to the essence of innovation, drawing parallels between childlike exploration and entrepreneurial success. He discusses "adult kindergarten," an initiative promoting joy and creativity among adults similar to children's play. The historical context of kindergarten’s impact, particularly on Norwegian Olympic sports culture, underscores the value of play in achieving high-performance levels.

  Importance of Emotional and Empathetic Connectivity

  The episode dives deep into how visionaries often possess an inherent ability to read and understand non-verbal cues, enabling them to form deeper empathetic connections. Justin and Joe discuss the creation of spaces where individuals can collaborate without competition, focusing on empathy, understanding, and collective growth.

  Insights on Personal Growth

  Justin provides actionable tools for personal growth, recommending resources and assessments that help individuals understand their behaviors and actions better:

  • Kolbe Assessment 
  •  BrEpic Communications LLC
  • The Epic F.I.T Network
  
  Concluding Thoughts

  Today's episode with Justin Breen not only highlighted the unique pathways of visionary thinkers but also the profound impact of intuition and emotional connectivity in leading a purposeful life. Justin’s insights into integrating personal values with professional goals to reach an "abundance apex" provide a roadmap for anyone looking to enhance their life trajectory.

Today, I have the pleasure of hosting Dr. Lise Janelle, a renowned life transformation coach who specializes in helping professionals eliminate subconscious blocks that impede their success. This episode dives deep into the realm of personal achievement, shedding light on how subconscious beliefs shaped by past experiences can significantly influence our current success and happiness.
  Understanding Subconscious Blocks

  Dr. Lise Janelle opened up our discussion by explaining how subconscious blocks are often rooted in our early childhood experiences and how they can dictate both our failures and our achievements. She shared the story of an Olympic skier who struggled to win despite intensive training. This athlete’s deep-seated belief, stemming from childhood, that they did not deserve success was sabotaging their efforts. Dr. Janelle’s technique, the Heart Freedom Method, has helped individuals like this skier overcome such blocks and achieve unprecedented breakthroughs.

  Overview of the Heart Freedom Method

  We delved into Dr. Janelle’s Heart Freedom Method, a transformative approach that incorporates Neuro Emotional Technique and the teachings of John Demartini. This method emphasizes identifying subconscious beliefs and replacing them with gratitude and a heightened sense of self-worth, leading to improvements in relationships, finances, and overall career trajectories. It’s a method focused on aligning your inner truths with your heart's deepest desires, fostering a phenomenal transformation in all facets of life.

  The Role of Gratitude in Personal Growth

  A significant part of our conversation centered on how gratitude amplifies self-worth, which plays a critical role in unlocking potential and fostering success. Dr. Janelle emphasized that gratitude is not just about being thankful for the good things but also appreciating the challenges and learning from them. This mindset shift is pivotal for genuine growth and happiness.

  The Impact of Childhood Experiences on Self-Worth

  Understanding the link between early emotional experiences and self-worth was another critical topic. Dr. Janelle explained how the absence of emotional support in childhood could make recognizing our value and acknowledging our own desires more challenging as adults. This understanding is crucial for anyone struggling to achieve their goals, as it highlights the need for a compassionate self-review of one's past to align better with one's future aspirations.

  The Stages of Human Development

  Dr. Janelle outlined two main stages of human development: the unconscious state driven by external validation and the conscious state driven by internal beliefs. Transitioning from the unconscious to the conscious state involves acknowledging and letting go of those ingrained beliefs that no longer serve us. This transition is imperative for anyone looking to live a more authentic and fulfilled life.

  Facing Life's Challenges and Transformations

  We talked about the importance of facing life's challenges head-on and using them as stepping stones to achieve greater success. Dr. Janelle shared personal anecdotes, including facing her father’s terminal illness and learning from the rollercoaster lives of Hollywood stars. These stories highlight the importance of resilience and finding inner peace amidst life's extremes.

  Finding Your Purpose and Understanding Personal Goals

  Finally, understanding and connecting with one’s purpose emerged as a theme. Dr. Janelle advocates for taking time to explore and understand where one is heading in life. This clarity, coupled with a connection to one's heart's desires, is the ultimate formula for achieving not only success but also true happiness and fulfillment.

  This episode was a deep dive into the transformative power of understanding and reshaping our subconscious beliefs. The compelling insights from Dr. Lise Janelle underscore the incredible impact of aligning our life’s purpose with our deepest values and desires. Whether it’s overcoming subconscious blocks, embracing gratitude, or understanding the stages of human development, this conversation is a goldmine for anyone looking to elevate their life to extraordinary heights. Keep pushing forward, and remember, the journey to self-discovery and personal growth is one of the most rewarding investments you can make.

As always, I'm here to provide you with actionable strategies that you can implement right away. In this episode, I'm diving deep into the best practices for pitching to podcasters and ensuring you're the guest they can't wait to have on. Whether you're aiming to enhance your media presence or hone your pitching skills, this episode is packed with insider tips directly from the podcasting trenches.
  The Growing Importance of Podcasting

  Podcasting has rapidly evolved into a significant media platform, with countless shows covering every topic imaginable. This saturation creates a noisy environment where standing out as a guest becomes increasingly challenging. Yet, the benefits are immense, offering long-term media presence and numerous networking opportunities.

   Mastering the Art of Pitching

  One of the focal points of this episode is how to effectively pitch yourself as a podcast guest. Having received numerous pitches myself, I've observed what makes a pitch successful versus what leads to a quick dismissal. A compelling pitch involves understanding the podcast’s theme, respecting the host's work, and aligning your message with their audience's interests. I emphasized the need to transform your pitches from generic templates to personalized messages that capture the essence of your unique value proposition.

  Effective Use of Outreach Templates

  During the episode, I shared an outreach template that has proven effective for many in securing guest spots on podcasts. This template helps to structure your pitch by including elements like a personalized greeting, a concise introduction of yourself, an explanation of why you’re a great fit for the show, and a proposal of topics that you’re prepared to discuss. Emphasizing how you can add value to their podcast is crucial, and providing examples of your previous engagements can significantly bolster your credibility.

  Setting Up Effective Guest Screening Processes

  Hosting a podcast comes with its challenges, one of which is vetting potential guests. It's essential to streamline this process to manage the high volume of requests efficiently. I discussed setting up a Google Form or similar tool to filter initial inquiries, asking potential guests to provide detailed information about themselves and their expertise. Such systems not only save time but also ensure that those who make it through are more likely to provide value to your audience.

  Ensuring Podcast Promotion and Follow-up

  Finally, we covered the critical aspect of promotion and follow-up post-podcast appearance. As guests, it’s advantageous to actively participate in promoting the episode to maximize reach and impact. Detailed planning on how the episode will be shared across different platforms, including social media and email newsletters, can lead to better engagement and show your commitment as a guest.   In conclusion, this episode of the Hustle & Flowchart unpacks the intricacies of becoming a desirable podcast guest, from perfecting your pitch to ensuring effective post-show promotion. Whether you're a seasoned expert or just stepping into the world of podcasts, the insights shared today are designed to equip you with the tools you need to succeed. Remember, being a great guest is not just about showing up; it's about adding value every step of the way. Here's to making your next podcast guest appearance a smashing success!

On today's incredible journey, I had the pleasure of reuniting with Chris Martinez, who offered his sharp and critical insights into some of the systemic issues we face in both the entrepreneurial world and the wider society. This episode isn't just business as usual; we took a deep dive into the discussion of racism -- a topic that's often deemed too sensitive or taboo, but one that we believe is vital for growth, awareness, and change.
  The Systemic Nature of Racism in the Film Industry

  Chris Martinez shed light on the systemic racism within the film industry, revealing that financial stakes often lead to casting predominantly white leads. This isn't always due to overt racism but instead a reliance on "safe" patterns to secure box office success. These decisions contribute to the significant underrepresentation of Asian Americans and African Americans in films. Our takeaway here is that systemic problems require systemic solutions – it's not merely a series of isolated incidents but a broader pattern that needs to be addressed.

  Embracing Diversity for Innovation and Growth

  Our discussion also branched into the necessity of diversifying our workforce. Chris pointed out how tapping into a broader range of talents can present untapped opportunities and aid in a business's growth. The world's demographics are shifting, and companies that embrace this change will be better positioned to succeed.

  Breaking Barriers in Communication and Culture

  We emphasized how technology and communication are crucial in breaking down the barriers between cultures. Both Chris and I agreed that an open mind and the readiness to overcome personal biases could lead to a more equitable and inclusive society, fostering personal and collective growth. We also discussed the "Agency Freedom Live" event aiming to promote these very values in the entrepreneurial space.

  The Scientific Approach to Understanding Racism

  Chris suggested recording an intro about what racism means. By defining racism and its manifestations, like assumed stereotypes, we can approach the issue scientifically. He encouraged business owners to objectively assess each individual's skills without letting biases interfere, advocating for a level playing field for all..

  Overcoming Biases for Minority Entrepreneurs

  Chris shared personal experiences dealing with discrimination and bias, highlighting that minority entrepreneurs often need to work twice as hard to be recognized for their success. It highlighted the issue of credibility and how audience biases tend to favor white individuals, illustrating the need for greater diversity in speaking opportunities.

  Institutional Racism and Its Long-Term Impacts

  The episode also tackled institutional and systemic racism, particularly in the context of housing inequality for African Americans. We discussed how this has affected their ability to build wealth and pass on entrepreneurial knowledge, serving as a stark example of the pervasive challenges that minorities face.

  Resources from Chris

  Chris brings a unique voice to a commonly overlooked conversation in the industry. Beyond the podcast, Dude Agencystands as a testament to Chris's commitment to not just discussing change but actively fostering it. This is especially evident in the excitement around the upcoming "Agency Freedom Live" event—an innovative summit set to take place this August in San Diego. Tailored for forward-thinking entrepreneurs, the event pledges to offer a vibrant mix of educational sessions, leadership development, and engaging networking opportunities.

  This episode with Chris Martinez was a profound one. We delved into some uncomfortable realities about racism and representation, but it was a necessary conversation for growth and understanding. Our key takeaways involve recognizing the systemic and institutional nature of racism and the need to be proactive in fostering diversity and inclusivity in all spaces—not just as a moral imperative but as a smart business and social practice too. Let's take these insights and actions forward to create a world where innovation and leadership reflect our richly diverse society.

If you’re an entrepreneur who often feels overwhelmed by mundane tasks and wish there were more hours in the day, this episode is designed to help you leverage AI in innovative ways, which can redefine how you approach your work and improve earnings per hour.
  Repetition Filter Model

  The Repetition Filter Model is centered around identifying and automating repetitive tasks using AI. I discussed how tasks that are performed frequently are perfect candidates for AI automation. Examples include customer service inquiries, scheduling social media content, and managing email communications. By tracking these repetitive tasks over a week, entrepreneurs can spot patterns and opportunities for automation, thereby saving time and reducing manual effort.

  Time to Value Ratio Model

  Next, the Time to Value Ratio Model helps you assess the impact of various tasks based on the time they consume versus the value they deliver. This mental model encourages entrepreneurs to calculate the efficiency of tasks by dividing the time spent by the value output. High-value tasks might require more personalized attention, whereas low-value, time-intensive tasks are perfect for AI automation or delegation.

  Creativity Spectrum Model

  The Creativity Spectrum Model involves using AI to enhance creativity in content creation and problem-solving. This model uses AI tools to generate ideas, help outline content structures, and provide insights that would typically require significant human brainstorming. By merging AI-generated concepts with personal creativity, entrepreneurs can produce original and impactful business content and solutions.

This time, we have a unique focus on supercharging the efficiency of our meetings – a universal experience that can often be unproductive and dreary. In this episode, I, Joe Fier, share insightful techniques to amplify the usefulness of every meeting, thus enabling us to work smarter, not harder. From client encounters to team huddles, you'll discover how to retain and utilize the goldmine of data that every meeting can provide.
  Recording Meetings & Tools to Use

  Recording your meetings turns every conversation into an opportunity to reference and build upon. We talk about utilizing tools like Fathom and Otter.ai, that not only record your meetings for free but also quickly provide transcriptions. This doesn't just help in keeping a record but sets the stage for deeper analysis and follow-up actions.

  Maximizing Team Performance & Personal Reflections

  Meetings should culminate in tangible outcomes that propel projects forward. That's why team meetings aren’t just for updates, they're for defining responsibilities and identifying actionable tasks. Personal reflections have their place too. By recording and revisiting your musings, you can glean insights that guide your future decisions.

  Using AI for Meeting Analysis

  Artificial Intelligence has reached a point where it can astutely summarize your conversations, suggesting action points and even highlighting nuances you might have missed. We delve into how tools like ChatGPT and Claude.ai can process your meeting transcriptions to pull out key notes and to-dos, saving hours of manual labor and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

  Takeaway Prompts & Action Steps

  Besides discussing these tools, I provide specific prompts that you can utilize with these AI tools to fish out vital pieces of information from your meetings. The action steps provided are designed to turn every meeting's transcript into a strategic plan, ready for immediate implementation.

  Prompt Guide for Actionable Insights from Transcriptions

  1. Client Meetings Prompt: "Review the attached transcription of a client meeting and identify key action items, decisions made, and any follow-up tasks needed."

  2. Sales Calls Prompt: "Analyze this sales call transcript to highlight successful negotiation points, client objections, and agreed next steps."

  3. Team Meetings Prompt: "From this team meeting transcript, extract important deadlines, project updates, and assigned responsibilities."

  4. Personal Reflections Prompt: "Summarize this personal reflection recording by identifying main insights, future goals, and areas for improvement noted."

  5. Mixed Meeting Types (Generic) Prompt: "Read through the transcription of this meeting. Identify and list all actionable tasks, key discussion points, and any urgent matters requiring immediate attention."

  These prompts should help leverage AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude.ai to analyze meeting transcriptions effectively and efficiently, turning spoken content into structured and useful outputs.

  Conclusion

  In conclusion, the breadth of today's discussion on the Hustle & Flowchart spans from the initial process of recording meetings to the strategic application of AI for data mining valuable insights post-meeting. We explored the power of free tools that log every word for you – a tremendous asset for tracing commitments, aligning goals, and ensuring accountability. AI is our friend here, not something to fear. With these tools and prompts at your fingertips, you’ll turn every meeting from a mundane gathering into a fountain of actionable steps that spur you and your team to peak performance.

It’s Joe Fier, and in our latest episode, my buddy Mike Koenigs and I dove deep into the game-changing world of AI and its remarkable impact on business growth. This wasn’t just another tech talk—it was a journey into creating exceptional value for clients, scaling businesses like never before, and envisioning a future where our entrepreneurial mindset reaches trillion-dollar heights. Brace yourselves; you’re about to get a glimpse into revolutionizing your business strategies with intelligence and heart.
  Using AI to Build Relationships and Automate Sales

  Mike jumped right into how AI isn't just some cold, impersonal machine—it's a relationship-builder. Imagine reaching out to your clients with the help of AI to offer them valuable, lower-ticket products or services that feel personalized just for them. Suddenly, you're not just another business—they see you as their partner in success. AI lets us automate this process, leading to hands-free sales systems that still feel deeply human.

  The Power of Exceptional Service and AI

  Service, service, service—it's the heart of our hustle. But when AI steps in to streamline all those time-consuming tasks, you free up time to provide that top-tier, custom-tailored experience your clients crave. Mike highlighted how AI can supercharge our interactions with clients, fostering long-lasting bonds backed by efficiency.

  AI as a Tool to Enhance Human Abilities

  Let's face it, we've all got enough on our plates. Thankfully, AI is here to take the burden off those routine, wear-you-down tasks. But it's more than a helper—it's a multiplier. With AI, we've seen teams triple their effectiveness without increasing overhead. That's not just growth; that's smart scaling.

  Creating Value Beyond Traditional Business Models

  Ever think about value in terms of EBITDA? Maybe it's time to broaden our horizons. AI is redefining value creation, pushing past traditional measures. Mike talked about how AI can multiply your business's worth without adding more costs or taxes—a pretty amazing proposition, right?

  SaaS Product Potential from Unique IP

  There's unique power in your intellectual property, and AI can turn that into gold—specifically, SaaS products. Imagine a world where your top performers are cloned through AI, boosting productivity and creating a treasure trove of subscription-level value. It's not sci-fi; it's our new reality, as Mike enthusiastically explained.

  Customization and Personalization Across Industries

  Whether you're in real estate, heating and air conditioning, or any other field, AI offers hyper-personalization. Mike gave examples of creating vibrant, wow-worthy content in minutes, igniting engagement and conversion. It's a new age of marketing, fitting neatly into any industry's toolbox.

  The Trillionaire Mindset and Network Effect

  Thinking big starts with the trillionaire mindset—where you leverage AI to not only supercharge your own business but to also spin it into products for others. Mike and I explored how collaboration and white-labeling are fundamental to this expansive approach, creating a ripple effect across industries.

  Reinventing Strategies with AI

  Starting from offering a free book or content, AI lets us reimagine our funnels. It's about using the intelligence of AI to lead prospects through an engaging journey, showcasing our expertise and the versatility of these tools. Mike shared insights on how AI effortlessly fits into funnel strategy, creating a seamless flow for our audience.

  Augmented Reality and the Clear Collar Workforce

  The future of jobs? It's clear as day: the "clear collar" workers, who harness tech to elevate their capabilities. Gone are the days when traditional credentials were the only path to skill acquisition. Mike's vision involves augmented reality integrating seamlessly into our work, transforming the job market in a blink.

  Mike Koenigs' Predictions and Digital Marketing Evolution

  Mike opened up about his evolution from pioneering digital marketing products to spearheading AI-driven platforms. He illuminated the podcast with his belief in AI's capacity to launch us further in the entrepreneurial stratosphere, even as we remain cautious of its expansive force.

  The Millionaire Mindset Upgraded

  Who wouldn’t want their productivity to soar? That's where AI comes in, as Mike and I discussed the shift towards a trillionaire mindset. Imagine leveraging AI to multiply our effectiveness—this conversation was all about upscaling our existing approach to business successes.

  AI Automation Tools and Their Impact on Business

  We didn’t just theorize; Mike showed off some of his AI creations—like automated survey tools and playbooks for streamlining everything from podcasting to social media. The real kicker? These tools are readily accessible, making this AI magic something any business can harness.

We get so lost in the momentum of our work that we often sideline the joy and simplicity that play brings. Let's jump into how reintroducing play can, not only enhance your work-life balance, but also reignite your passion for life and business.

  In this heart-to-heart, I indulge in some real talk about the significance of play. I reflect on the eye-opening moments I've had while watching my kids play, and I bring in perspectives from Dr. Gabor Maté, who spoke about the weight of regrets and the longing for more play and family time. The core message is simple: we need to look beyond the hustle and bustle of 'business' and find true joy in our everyday doings.

  Lessons Learned from Little Ones

  I open up about the times I spend with my children, playing and laughing, and how these simple moments can provide profound insights. It's about realizing that some of the things we stress over in our adult lives are not as significant as we make them out to be. If we could just see the world through the carefree eyes of a child, perhaps we'd understand how to lighten our load.

  Heartfelt Insights from Gabor Maté

  A moment with Gabor Maté hit me hard, as he shared his own reflections on life and work. His words about always feeling the need to justify his existence through work, at the cost of play and enjoyment, are a stark reminder to us all. We dive deep into the concept that perhaps the value we seek in busyness is misplaced, and it's a discussion I believe we all need to hear.

  Rethinking the Hustle of Business

  During our conversation, an idea struck me about the true meaning of 'business'—is it just a fancier word for being 'busy'? I challenge you, as I challenge myself, to redefine what business means to us. What if we put our efforts into fulfilling endeavors that resonate with our soul instead of swimming in a sea of tasks?

  Discovering Your Superpowers with Kolbe

  The Kolbe assessment was a game-changer for me, as it outlined my strengths in ways I hadn't considered before. By sharing my own Kolbe scores and what they mean for my approach to work, I'm hoping to encourage you to uncover your own innate powers. It's about working smarter and tuning in to what genuinely allows you to shine.

  Words of Wisdom from Frank Shamrock

  In a previous episode, Frank Shamrock shared with us how play is a fundamental learning tool and a form of communication—even in the animal kingdom. His insights remind us that the essence of play goes far beyond simple entertainment; it's a way of interacting with the world in a curious and engaging manner.

  Making Play Part of Your Daily Grind

  Now, my friends, let's bring it all home. I invite you to think about how you can weave play into your daily routine. How can you make your days less about the grind and more about the joy? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Let's start a conversation about rekindling that childlike sense of wonder and how making room for play can transform the way we live and work.

  Wrapping It Up

  In this conversation we took a closer look at play, not just as fun, but as a crucial component of a well-rounded life. We delved into the sentiments of children at play, insightful advice from Gabor Maté, and the powerful wisdom of Frank Shamrock, all pointing us to one undeniable truth: it's time to put play back on the agenda. Whether you accomplish this by exploring your natural inclinations through assessments like Kolbe or simply by enjoying a playful moment with loved ones, I urge you to nurture your playful spirit. I’m eager to learn how you'll make play a real part of your day, so hit me up with your stories and plans. Remember, it's not just about staying busy; it's about staying brightly, vibrantly alive. Keep playing, keep laughing, and let's make every moment count.

The Secret To A 30 Year Old Body And 300 Year Old Mind with Jeffery GladdenHey there, friends! It's your host Joe here, with a truly eye-opening chat I recently had with the insightful Jeffrey Gladden. We dove deep into some pretty life-altering concepts around relationships, longevity, and the incredible blend of youth and wisdom. Let me tell you, this conversation was not your run-of-the-mill talk. We explored how to ask questions that matter, the impact of our mindset on aging, and why maintaining a youthful spirit is essential for a meaningful and impactful life. We also touched on the importance of transcending past experiences and focusing on love, connection, and contribution. There's so much to unpack from our conversation, so I've put together this blog post to cover all the gold nuggets we unearthed.

  The Power of Courageous Conversations

  Jeffrey and I discussed how important it is to delve into courageous conversations. These aren't just any talks; they're the kind that creates bonds that can withstand storms. Jeffrey suggested that by simply asking deeper questions, we can unlock what really makes a person come alive. The key takeaway here is that being vulnerable, empathetic, and understanding can foster more love and connection in our relationships.

  Longevity: A Young Body with an Ancient Mind

  One of my favorite parts of our discussion was about keeping a youthful mind in an aging body. Jeffrey blew my mind with his take on "100 is the New 30." Imagine having the physicality of a 30-year-old but the wisdom of someone three centuries old. He talked about his journey from sick care to health care, shifting focus to longevity and how we should adopt an exponential strategy for aging. This means always striving to be our best self.

  The Life Energy Circle

  We then spiraled into the concept of the 'life energy circle,' which comprises mindset, mental health, and building fabulous relationships. The gist of it is mastering the art of relational aspects, knowing that the human touch remains indispensable even in our tech-savvy age. It's about looking beyond the surface and engaging in life with a whole heart.

  Relationships in an AI World

  Even as technology and AI continue to surge forward, Jeffrey and I agreed that humanity's touch is absolutely crucial. We discussed how believing in yourself and overcoming past conditioning is key to thriving. It's not just about the tech; it's about the people and connections we make along the way.

  Overcoming Trauma and Embracing Love

  Trauma, as Jeffrey puts it, is something we need to understand, heal from, and ultimately transcend. It's heavy stuff, but it's so important for growth. Our chat highlighted the significance of love and becoming 'unencumbered' by our past. The psycho-spiritual angle really comes into play here – understanding that our security doesn't come from external sources but from within.

  Financial Gain vs. Relational Wealth

  Success shouldn't only be measured in dollars and cents. Jeffrey emphasized the value of resonant relationships over mere financial gain. We talked about quantum thinking, seeking inspiration from others, and building connections that resonate with our mission, vision, and values.

  Jeffrey Gladden's Resources

  And for all you go-getters eager to learn more, Jeffrey shared a treasure trove of resources: - His game-changing book "100 is the New 30" - His insightful podcast "Gladden Longevity Podcast" - And his website "Gladden Longevity" for anyone interested in diving deeper into the world of longevity and peak living. In conclusion, our conversation was a profound journey into the realms of courage, questioning norms, and understanding the beauty of human connections. Whether it's about facing life with the heart of a 30-year-old and the wisdom of a 300-year-old, or focusing on more than just financial gains, this chat has reshaped how I view my everyday interactions and long-term goals. The overarching message? Embrace love, strive for impact, and value the bonds we create along the way. And remember, folks, while we're out there hustling and keeping our flowcharts in check, let's not forget to live young, and love deeply, for as long as we possibly can.

As a renowned specialist, Dr. Truong reveals astonishing statistics and practical advice on how entrepreneurs and professionals can integrate healthy practices to improve their sex life, reduce stress, and protect their heart health. This conversation is an eye-opener into how our personal wellbeing is intricately linked to our productivity and entrepreneurial success.
  Erectile Dysfunction and Cardiovascular Health

  Dr. Anne Truong begins by discussing the striking statistic that 67% of men with erectile dysfunction (ED) will experience a heart attack within 7 to 10 years, showcasing the importance of seeing ED as a potential early warning sign for cardiovascular issues. This highlights the need for awareness and proactive health check-ups.

  Four Pillars to Sexual Health and Longevity

  Dr. Truong introduces the four pillars essential to sexual health and longevity: diet, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction. Adopting a Mediterranean diet, staying active with walking or other exercises, ensuring enough restorative sleep, and lowering stress levels can lay the foundation for improved sexual health.

  Intermittent Fasting, Productivity, and Stress Reduction

  Touching on the benefits of intermittent fasting, Dr. Truong suggests that this practice can rejuvenate the body, promoting cell turnover and aiding in stress reduction. She also notes its positive impact on productivity when combined with regular breaks and exercise.

  Sexual Activity's Role in Cardiac Health

  Sexual activity is not only a natural part of life, but it's also a boon for cardiac health. Studies indicate a correlation between an active sex life, longevity, and healthier living. The conversation also emphasizes the need for communication and incorporation of these life-affirming practices into our daily routines.

  Cortisol, Stress, and Their Effects on Health

  Dr. Truong dives into the impact of cortisol, the stress hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Chronically elevated cortisol levels can cause various health issues, including hormonal imbalances and cardiovascular strain. Saliva tests are one way individuals can gauge their cortisol levels throughout the day.

  Stress Management Techniques

  The duo discusses various techniques to manage stress effectively, including yoga, meditation, proper diet, regular physical activity, and natural supplements like ashwagandha. Dr. Truong adds that sexual activity is a potent stress reducer, leading to a decrease in cortisol and an increase in dopamine levels.

  Dr. Truong's Personal Journey with Stress

  Dr. Truong shares her close encounter with stress-related health problems, including Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT). By adopting a more balanced lifestyle and monitoring her cortisol levels, she was able to normalize her health indicators and overcome stress-induced issues within a few months.

  Sexual Health and Entrepreneurial Success

  The conversation shifts to how sexual health is interconnected with professional success. Dr. Truong explains that maintaining good blood flow through sexual activity can boost organ functionality and overall wellbeing, thus contributing to enhanced focus and energy for entrepreneurs.

  The Importance of Blood Flow and Vascular Health

  Exploring the physiology of blood flow, Dr. Truong emphasizes its importance for organ function and the positive effects of sexual activity on the brain, which releases feel-good hormones and neurotransmitters. Joe Fier connects these insights to the importance of tuning into the body's needs and responses.

  Practical Advice for Sexual Health and Relationships

  Closing the episode, Dr. Truong and Joe discuss the vital role of maintaining sexual health in relationships and emphasize open communication between partners. They also share resources such as Dr. Truong's YouTube channel "Sexual Health for Men" and various online coaching programs for those seeking guidance.

  Conclusion

  This episode serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the interplay between sexual health, stress, and cardiovascular wellness. Joe and Dr. Truong provide actionable insights and natural approaches to enhancing sexual vitality, making it clear that maintaining our sex lives is essential, not just for personal fulfillment but for our overall health and success.

We're incredibly honored to be sharing an episode of  Truth, Lies, and Workplace Culture podcast with Leanne and Al Elliott where they interviewed our very own Joe Fier. Together, they delve into the difficult topic of ending a business partnership and the emotional and professional impact it can have. The Elliotts share their personal insights, while Joe candidly reflects on his own recent separation from his long-time business partner, Matt Wolfe. They discuss the importance of communication, honesty, and respecting the visions that drive entrepreneurs, as well as how to recognize when it's time to part ways.
  Introduction to Partnership Dynamics

  The episode kicks off by dissecting the entrepreneurial spirit using insights from Hogan Assessment Systems, focusing on traits such as ambition and sociability, and their influence on business partnerships. Joe, Leanne, and Al discuss how these entrepreneurial traits form the foundation of many successful partnerships, while also potentially leading to challenges if not managed properly. They emphasize the need for complementary skill sets and share how Joe and his partner Matt were able to balance ideas and leverage their individual strengths to grow their business initially.

  Recognizing When to End a Partnership

  The discussion progresses to recognizing the red flags that indicate a partnership may be faltering. Joe shares personal experiences on how a loss of interest in the joint venture, differences in future vision, and an internalization of thoughts and feelings created fissures in his partnership with Matt. The guests also address how external factors, such as market pressures, can amplify existing issues within a partnership, making it crucial for entrepreneurs to stay attuned to the health of their collaboration.

  Navigating the Emotional Landscape

  Navigating the separation of a business partnership can be an emotional roller coaster. Joe openly talks about the gut-wrenching process of confronting the need for change, the stress involved in communicating the decision, and the relief that followed. This segment explores the intimate details of Joe's message in Discord, the ensuing conversation with Matt, and how they managed to preserve their friendship despite the professional split.

  Reflections on Regret and Resilience

  Reflection is a core theme as Joe contemplates the timing of the breakup and whether it could have come sooner. He discusses the human tendency to get swept up in momentum and the lessons learned from not always following his intuition. Joe's introspection shines a light on the importance of personal well-being in entrepreneurship and the courage needed to make tough but necessary decisions.

  Advice for a Healthy Business Partnership

  The final segment of the episode is dedicated to distilling the wisdom shared into actionable advice for entrepreneurs. Topics include the significance of clear and regular communication, the non-necessity of friendship in business (but the absolute necessity of respect and shared vision), and strategies for ensuring both partners are aligned and satisfied. Joe and the Elliotts suggest practical steps, such as conducting thorough research on potential partners and setting up regular check-ins, to help avert the complexities of a partnership breakdown.

  Conclusion

  The episode ends with Joe and the Elliotts summarizing the critical insights gained from their experiences. They underscore the notion that while ending a partnership can be challenging, doing so with integrity and transparency can mitigate negative impacts. Joe stresses the importance of following one's intuition, consciously recognizing one's limits, and maintaining honest communication as entrepreneurs continue to navigate the complex world of business relationships.

This strategy is so effective that he couldn't keep it to myself, and has already shared it with friends, clients, and partners who have seen amazing results.

  Setting Up Your Dream 100:

  To implement this strategy, all you need is a Google Sheet and a Google-based email. Create a list of 100 people who align with your target audience and have the potential to bring significant value to your brand.

  Today, we're revisiting an insightful episode from April 2020, a time of global uncertainty and panic due to the emergence of the pandemic. With shutdowns and business restrictions starting worldwide, we all felt lost and overwhelmed.

  I took the liberty to revamp this episode, removing outdated parts and enhancing the content to match our current reality. As I re-listened, I found myself fervently taking notes, impressed by Jay's expertise in strategic and nonlinear thinking, alliances, partnerships, and his aptitude to identify opportunities amidst adversity.

  The second notable highlight I wanted to share is Jay's recent collaboration with the renowned Roland Frasier, a podcast favorite, seasoned investor, and business strategist boasting over 1000 acquisitions. Together, they've penned 'Business Wealth Without Risk', with the foreword by none other than Tony Robbins.

  Very timely (like in 2020), they have a free live event on September 23rd called "Business Wealth Without Risk". If you're quick, you might grab a spot, but if not, you'll definitely want first dibs on their book.

  The conversation delves into the importance of sleep, optimizing brain health, and biohacking techniques to double energy and focus for entrepreneurs. Listeners are encouraged to take notes and reach out to Tanessa, who offers a playbook on biohacks.

  The Significance of Sleep and Energy Boosting Techniques

  Sleep disruptions, particularly when dealing with sick children, create challenges for entrepreneurs. Tanessa emphasizes the need for tools to boost energy and alertness in the morning. Manipulating body temperature through movement or cold showers can stimulate increased alertness by positively affecting dopamine and norepinephrine levels. These "little hacks" enhance productivity and help start the day with an energized brain.

  Understanding Chronotype and Optimizing Sleep Schedule

  Chronotype refers to an individual's genetic inclination to be an early or late person. Dr. Michael Bruce's book, "The Power of When," offers a free quiz on his website to determine an individual's chronotype. The Aura Ring analyzes sleep data to determine the optimal sleep time for maximum energy. Adjusting sleep schedule to match individual chronotypes can lead to better overall well-being.

  Harnessing the Power of REM Sleep for Cognitive Performance

  REM sleep, which occurs during early morning hours, is correlated with creativity and problem-solving abilities. Good REM sleep improves the ability to read facial and body expressions, making entrepreneurs better coaches and consultants. It also helps manage emotions, allowing for aligned responses and maintaining integrity.

  The Journey to Optimal Brain Health

  Tanessa's career began as a swimming teacher, which she used to pay her way through university. After switching her major to Kinesiology, she opened a personal training business. Working with online clients, many of whom were entrepreneurs, she realized the impact of brain health optimization on energy, focus, and overall life quality.

  Personalizing Diet and Tracking Data for Optimal Health

  Tanessa highlights the importance of individualized and personalized dietary choices. Removing gluten from a client's diet resulted in decreased inflammation. HRV (heart rate variability) measurements helped evaluate the body's response to changes. Fitness tracking devices like Fitbit Luxe or Aura Ring provide data for understanding brain performance and recovery, guiding informed decisions about schedule and productivity.

  The Impact of Light Exposure on Sleep Quality

  Exposure to bright white blue devices before bed disrupts sleep patterns. Creating an indoor sunset by dimming lights and using orange bulbs can promote better sleep. Reading on an iPad before bed delays the rise in melatonin and reduces quality sleep. The impact of light exposure can last for two to three days, affecting REM sleep.

  Entrepreneurial Freedom and a Balanced Lifestyle

  Joe shares his journey toward financial independence, allowing him and his husband to lead a slow, relaxed lifestyle while still working. Tanessa emphasizes the importance of reducing inflammation through stable blood sugar levels achieved by consuming whole, unprocessed foods.

  Conclusion

  The conversation with Tanessa Shears in this podcast episode explores the significance of sleep, brain health optimization, and biohacking techniques for entrepreneurs. By understanding and applying personalized approaches to sleep, nutrition, and tracking data, listeners can experience increased energy, focus, and overall well-being.

  Taking control of sleep and brain health leads to a better entrepreneurial journey and a more balanced lifestyle.

  Listeners are encouraged to reach out to Tanessa for her playbook on biohacks and further insights into optimizing health and energy levels.

  In this solo episode, Joe delves into the fascinating factors that determine happiness. From the influence of genetics and external circumstances to the power of our daily choices, he explores how we can unleash our true potential and find genuine joy. 

  Listen as Joe shares thought-provoking insights on the correlation between self-employment and happiness, shedding light on the importance of aligning our work with our values for a more fulfilling life.

He narrates his own experience of recognizing the negative impact not having these habits in his life had on his overall well-being, and the subsequent desire to break free from a version of himself that no longer resonated. 

  Joe emphasizes the significance of turning daily habits into non-negotiable investments in oneself, shifting our perspective from mundane chores to empowering rituals. Drawing on the powerful 80/20 rule, he invites listeners to discover the activities that take up less than 20% of their day but bring about immense joy and fulfillment, leaving them inspired to embrace positive change.

  In this solo episode, Joe delves into the fascinating factors that determine happiness. From the influence of genetics and external circumstances to the power of our daily choices, he explores how we can unleash our true potential and find genuine joy. 

  Listen as Joe shares thought-provoking insights on the correlation between self-employment and happiness, shedding light on the importance of aligning our work with our values for a more fulfilling life. 

  Joe reveals a personal awakening that came from consciously slowing down with daily micro habits. He narrates his own experience of recognizing the negative impact not having these habits in his life had on his overall well-being, and the subsequent desire to break free from a version of himself that no longer resonated. 

  Joe emphasizes the significance of turning daily habits into non-negotiable investments in oneself, shifting our perspective from mundane chores to empowering rituals. Drawing on the powerful 80/20 rule, he invites listeners to discover the activities that take up less than 20% of their day but bring about immense joy and fulfillment, leaving them inspired to embrace positive change. 

  To further guide him, Joe shares a profound quote from BJ Fogg, introducing the audience to the concept of the tiny habit method, which encompasses motivation, ability, and prompt as key components for lasting transformation.

Britt Lefkoe, an anomaly when it comes to the power of the mind, talks about how beliefs can hold us back and block us from achieving our goals.

  She shares her story of taking the legacy of her father’s work and expanding it even further. We learn that our beliefs and decisions are largely influenced by the amygdala (emotional brain), and that it is important to be aware of this so that decisions can be made in favor of the prefrontal cortex (cognitive brain).

  We also discuss how entrepreneurs can become mindful of their negative thought patterns and how to move past the fear of failure. She shares a simple process we can use to address what's holding us back right now so our brains can easily find the solution.

  Tune in to this episode to learn more about how to expand what’s possible with the power of the mind!

  Some topics we discussed include:

  • Why people don't take your good advice, even they know it's what they need.
  • And what's blocking YOU from taking good advice and doing what you know YOU need.
  • What prevents you from feeling good, taking time off, and doing things for yourself?
  • Why you don't always see clearly and what's stopping you.
  • Exploring the impact of beliefs on mental blocks and how to overcome them.
  • Overcoming fear and procrastination to achieve personal success.
  • The impact of beliefs on decision-making.
  • A great analogy of preparing for a world we never live in.
  • Exploring the possibility of business success being easy.
  • Unlocking the brain's potential: Exploring blocks and finding fulfillment.
  • The neuroscience behind creative thinking and decision making.
  • Exploring the link between achievement and our feeling of safety.
  • The relationship between self-love and self-protection in business.
  • Understanding the impacts of beliefs on mental health.
  • Creating boundaries and protecting your energy as an entrepreneur.

  This time around, we're diving into the 6 ways you can approach business and life with your partner.

  Copreneurs are when a partner work and manage the same company together...

  • Prioritize communication: Set aside time to talk and plan regularly 
  • Clarify expectations and roles: Discuss who is responsible for what, and when 
  • Listen & be open-minded: Listen to each other’s ideas, and consider them objectively 
  • Share ideas openly & honestly: Be open to discussing any ideas, and don’t be afraid to disagree 
  • Resolve conflicts quickly: Work together to come up with a solution that works for both of you 
  • Celebrate successes: Acknowledge each other’s accomplishments, and take time to enjoy the wins

  I'm taking the podcast in a direction that covers topics that aren't discussed enough.

  What is "enough" for us as business owners?

  How do we know when we've done enough and don't need to do more, more, more?

  How do you know that you're doing enough to provide for yourself and your family?

  How do you know that you're doing enough to provide for your audience and customers?

  How do you know that you're doing enough to create a life OUTSIDE of business that makes you feel whole?

  I struggled with this for most of my entrepreneurial career.

  It led me to make poor decisions or be completely indecisive. Ultimately to total burnout and pain.

  It stops momentum and creates more harm than good.

  In this and upcoming episodes, I'll share my thoughts on this topic.

  I'll invite guests to share their ideas and give practical advice to help others find their "enough."

  It feels like this is a moment in time that many of us need this.

He shares that The Grinch was a great example of someone who was constantly being bombarded with noise and how it can be detrimental to productivity.

  He encourages entrepreneurs to find ways to filter out the noise so they can focus on what's important. The conversation discuss the importance of deciphering the noise in our lives in order to find the important things that we should be focusing on.

  Noise can come from both external sources and from our own minds, and it can be helpful to find an outlet to quiet the noise and figure out what is most important.

  Life Beyond is one of the first open metaverse style games where the gamers create the economy.

  You don’t have to be the hero, running off into battle… You can be the farmer or the butcher or some other member of a function society and earn real in-game incomes (that can be swapped out for real-world dollars).

  This concept of the open economy Metaverse is one that really really excites us!

  We’re breaking down the vision for Hard Fork Gaming, giving behind-the-scenes details of running an epic livestream, and then diving-deep into the power of gaming guilds.

  We’ve talked about gaming guilds with past guests like Peter Ing and Brendan Wong but we’ve never really taken the time to break it down into the simplest explanation. Hopefully this episode will bring a lot of clarity around the concept and help explain why we’re so bullish on the model.

  We’d love to hear your thoughts about this one over in the community Discord.

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:
  • The achievement of our vision with Hard Fork
  • The livestream that will onboard so many to this space
  • Engage-To-Earn and how we’re reimagining marketing
  • An easy way to get a free gaming NFT from us
  • Behind the scenes of the epic live event
  • Where the big opportunity lies if you act fast right now
  • Tweaks you’ll notice to the podcast
  • The COMPLETE explanation of gaming guilds
  • The similarity between in-game NFTs and real estate
  • The game that started this whole “guild thing”
  • Making money running your own guild
  • Tools that make running a guild super easy
  • The effects on gaming from this current bear market
  • How guilds are improving lives around the world
  • And much more!

We’ll be breaking down the team behind the game, the tokenomics of the game, how the gameplay works, how people can make money or earn NFTs by playing, and how you can get involved in the NFT and token sales so that you can potentially capitalize on the growth of these games as well.

  Today’s game breakdown is Psyker. Psyker is a fighting game, similar to Tekken, with a cyberpunk theme. Players can customize and upgrade their fighters with NFTs and battle other players head-to-head. Players can also play against the computer in player-vs-environment (PVE) scenarios… And that’s just scratching the surface of this unique and innovative game in the blockchain-gaming space.

  We’d love to hear your thoughts about this one over in the community Discord.

  Some Topics We Discussed With The Psyker Team Include:

  • The team behind Psyker and how they got started
  • A deep-dive break breakdown of the gameplay
  • How people can earn money through playing Psyker
  • How the play-to-earn mechanics are different
  • The utility of the various in-game NFTs
  • How hideouts (land) work in Psyker
  • The timeline for release of the game
  • How you can invest and get involved yourself
  • The Psyker team’s favorite upcoming game

Today we're talking to Chris Voss, author of "Never Split The Difference," probably the best book ever written on negotiation.

  With the changes we've made in our business recently, we find ourselves in many more negotiation scenarios. Relistening to this episode has been huge for us, going into discussions that could have big money implications.

  Ever since recording this episode, we've changed our speech patterns and approached conversations differently. This is one of the most impactful episodes we feel we've done to date in terms of our own communication skills.

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How to seek the best outcome in the negotiation
  • Why you should not ask “Why?” and what to ask instead
  • How to read body language and what to say to make them more at ease
  • Routine questions Chris asks during negotiating
  • What is tactical empathy and how to use it in your business
  • The story behind Chris’ most memorable hostage situation
  • How to improve your relationship at home
  • Why you should not be 100% sure of what you want as your outcome
  • What a hostage negotiation has to do with marketing and the takeaways you can use to come out ahead
  • The three different types of negotiators

  Today, we're bringing back our episode with Mark Joyner.

  We recorded this episode in mid-2020, only a few weeks after everyone started being locked down.

  We dove deep into where to get your information and how to verify if the information is correct. This has become a more and more important topic as time has gone on because the world has changed so much and, still, people don't know who or what to believe.

  We also discussed how rapidly technology is changing and how you really need to be on the cutting edge to make it in the future.

  We'd love to hear your thoughts about these decisions over in the community Discord.

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • From being self-taught with no formal education to getting books published as textbooks
  • How to go down the rabbit hole on a particular topic while not getting misled by the media
  • Who can you really trust when watching the news?
  • What is ‘The Big Five Phenomena’ and why it’s not necessarily a good thing
  • Epistemological illiteracy and how it relates to your beliefs
  • How the rate of paradigm shifts has constantly increased and what you can do to keep up
  • What do Astroturf and Coco Puffs have in common?
  • How to survive in this new landscape
  • Untold secrets even with top-level CIA clearance 
  • Why the future is in the hands of entrepreneurs and how you can be a part of it

This was one of the first times we discussed Bitcoin and blockchain tech. on the show.

  We wanted to republish this episode because it's borderline prophetic. Much of what Michael breaks down in this episode actually played out exactly like he said it would.

  We discuss DAOs, what will replace Bitcoin, artists using tokens to build communities, influencers creating coins, and much much more... In 2017!

  I was worried that this episode may be less relevant today than it was when we recorded it. I was wrong!

  This episode re-blew my mind.

  ]]>This is a "rewind" episode from 2017 with Michael Taggart. This was one of the first times we discussed Bitcoin and blockchain tech. on the show.

  We wanted to republish this episode because it's borderline prophetic. Much of what Michael breaks down in this episode actually played out exactly like he said it would.

  We discuss DAOs, what will replace Bitcoin, artists using tokens to build communities, influencers creating coins, and much much more... In 2017!

  I was worried that this episode may be less relevant today than it was when we recorded it. I was wrong!

  This episode re-blew my mind.

  We'd love to hear your thoughts about these decisions over in the community Discord.

  It’s been a little bit since we’ve chatted about podcast (and media) growth strategies and creative ways to monetize. So we brought a guy on that thinks like us but with a different approach. Best of both worlds.

  Adam is a prolific podcaster, coach, and community leader. He runs a successful podcast training course/community called Podcast Growth Club. It’s like PodHacker but different…

  We realized he’s doing a similar thing to us. Shouldn’t we just team up and make this a mega super podcasting course, resource center, fun community, and tons of live sessions? We don’t wanna do this alone…

  So that’s what we did!

  We just partnered with Adam to combine our podcasting brands and communities together. If you choose to join PodHacker (you should!) you’ll get a TON of new content, a super helpful community, access to live sessions, and tons more.

  This episode will be a melding of minds and you’ll see how the fun will continue in PodHacker and beyond.

  Let the fun begin!

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How to manage (and excel) running THREE podcasts at once
  • The systems needed to create content months ahead of schedule
  • The superpower to have your audience build you into their routines
  • The 80/20 of podcast growth hacks working NOW
  • Are you “trying” or “executing” (subtle difference makes or breaks success)
  • The Instagram Carousel post strategy that blows up engagement, shares, and grows fans
  • Tapping into Instagram’s algorithms to grow your audience using Instagram Lives
  • How to systematically produce 6 pieces of content within 72 hours of episodes going live
  • How to create your podcast marketing plan
  • How to leverage the social platforms to have them send you your best listeners
  • How to make the most sharable content where everyone is happy to engage and help spread the word
  • Building your client bridge from cold listener to a superfan customer
  • The Relationship Funnel that Adam uses to grow his email list and community 
  • How Adam creates funny ads so no one skips over them (he breaks it all down)
  • PODHACKER gets a massive upgrade!!

We first connected with Mark in the Steal Our Winners program, which is awesome and highly recommended. He’s been talking about the model which we are very interested in, and we love the fact that he broke down the tactics of what we have been discussing in our business lately. We talk a lot about YouTube and if you are seeing a lot of people talking about getting yourself on YouTube, it’s still not too late. Facebook is being more restrictive than ever whereas on the Google/YouTube platforms, we feel they are giving us more opportunities to build out your brand and your flywheel.  

  We love the way that Mark thinks, as he’s a branding guy. He talks about how he was studying the legends at a young age, while he was becoming one of the world’s most well-known paintballers. He then discusses why you need to use marketing for not only your audience, but throwing your marketing budget and time at the guests and brands you want to connect with. And if you are just starting out and don’t have any episodes to show to sponsors, he’ll let you know what to do there as well. When you’re done listening, be sure to check out our other shows with Lisa Buyer and Justin Schenck for some additional chats on how to connect with the right folks while building your brand. 

  “Celebrities only care about timing and attention…if the timing is right, and you guarantee enough attention and eyeballs, any celebrity will say yes.” - Mark Lack

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Being a loser in school while earning $300K as a professional paintball star
  • How to get more of what you want by helping people get what they want
  • Getting a massive discount when posting videos to Facebook or Instagram
  • How to pre-guarantee results to the celebrity and sponsor
  • One of the fastest ways to build a really big show
  • How to become more memorable and famous for free
  • What to do if you do not have a backlog of episodes to showcase to sponsors
  • The most important thing you want to do during the first 5 seconds of your video
  • How to connect with event sponsors without even attending

If you are listening to this episode, make sure you check out the video version at HustleAndFlowchart.tv because you can see behind the scenes of what it looks like inside the Certainty Theater where Marshall runs his stage hypnosis shows.

He also dives into what he refers to as a new type of podcast and why this method is so enticing. You’ll hear how he became one of the most successful closers today and how he is making a huge difference in his students lives. Want more? Go check out our previous conversations with John Assaraf and Marx Acosta-Rubio for more insight on how to harness the power of our brain to accomplish goals.

We’re in the middle of a rebuilding phase, completely overhauling almost everything in our business.

  In this quick episode, Matt breaks down one of the big topics we’re going to start to put a ton of focus on. Today we’re talking about Web 3 and decentralization. It’s something that we can avoid anymore. We talked about it with Michael Taggart back in 2017 and we circled back around with Joel Comm in 2021. The first time, our brains weren’t ready for it. We didn’t know what to do with the information other than just throw some money at some cryptocurrencies.

  Now, it’s finally clicking and we can’t avoid talking about it. The pandemic has accelerated the Web 3 journey to mainstream and it’s only a matter of months before it becomes the normal way that people do things. This changes everything and those that are still ignoring it or writing it off will really regret that decision in the near future.

  “Web 3 will be where almost all future financial opportunities will lie” - Matt Wolfe

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Where we’re taking this podcast in the future
  • “You can plug your ears and maybe the future will go away”
  • What is Web 3?
  • How Web 3 will impact the way people make money
  • How online education is changing as a result
  • What you should study right now...

He had a vision of traveling the world while teaching and sharing whatever he’d learned so that it might be of value to help others to master their lives and do something extraordinary. Over his lifetime, he has devoured over 30,000 books and inspired others to find their true passion, sharing his knowledge with the world. 

   

  Listen in as you’ll hear stories of some of his students, and how one woman took her love of spending time with her pet and turned it into a multi-million dollar career. He discusses how to stop comparing yourself to others, utilize your forebrain to create visions of your future, and decipher what you value most so that you can then be of value to others. After you’ve listened, be sure to check out our conversations with Marx Acosta-Rubio and Elliot Roe for more information on how to discover what’s holding you back so you can accomplish more with your life.

   

  “When we fill our day with the highest priority action that inspires us most - that makes the biggest difference and equitable exchange of service, we have found it. And if we do that, we don’t need motivation.” - Dr. John Demartini

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Finding your true passion
  • Aligning your passions with income requirements
  • How one woman made a living because she loved to hang out with her dog
  • How to move past external factors
  • The inner workings of your brain and why you want to light up the front part
  • Getting rid of self sabotage of our idea

He’s talking about real, heartfelt stuff, since, as entrepreneurs, digital marketers and those of us who work behind the screen deal with life a little differently than folks who work a traditional job. We have different social aspects that come our way and the last two years have had us in all our bubbles. Joe tells a story from his side of things, and how it’s affected him and what he's learned over the last two years. 

   

  He discusses why the last two years have been the most pivotal for both him and our business, in terms of clarity and finding out who we are. We have chatted on the podcast a lot about mental health and this subject is more important than ever. If you find this information helpful, please pass it along, as our goal is to bring this discussion to light and help as many people as possible. Once you are done, be sure to listen to our chats with Anthony Trucks and Angelo Sisco who share their stories of overcoming obstacles and how to put yourself in the right frame of mind.  

   

  “We’re living in a world where we are ultra connected, but at the same time we are not really totally connected empathically, where it actually matters and you feel it.” - Joe Fier

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

   

  • What should’ve been one of the happiest times was also one of the saddest
  • Overview of the last two years and why they have been the hardest
  • Things that have helped Joe ‘get his voice back’
  • The pivotal moment that changed everything
  • Self-improvement strategies that seem simple, but really work
  • Dealing with overwhelm and how to break out of that bubble

There’s a lot of money to be made with Amazon Publishing, and whether you are a writer or not, Ty teaches people how to get your books published in the world’s biggest online bookstore. His students consist of writers who want to get their content out to the masses, authority figures who publish in order to get leads for their courses and high ticket offers, as well as people who use ghostwriters to publish a series of books with a huge audience behind them.

   

  Listen in as Ty talks about what niches to publish in, how to find out what your audience is reading before you pick a subject, and how he teaches his students to market. He also discusses where to advertise, how to repurpose your content and where to find people to write for you as well as create audio books. Lastly, Ty chats about some opportunities he has outside of the publishing world and his thoughts on NFTs and leaving a legacy. After you have listened and realized the opportunity behind publishing, check out our chats with Laura Gale and Rob Kosberg for even more insight and vision into the world of self-publishing. 

   

  “In internet marketing we always hear that you want to go with the niches, which is fine sometimes. But when you want to make a lot of money…when you want to be to the point where you are continuously making cash where it’s hard to shut it off, you want to go where the markets are wide and evergreen.” - Ty Cohen 

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

   

  • What niches to look at when publishing
  • Example of categories where  Ty’s students are crushing it, including Ty’s teenage son who is make $4K a month publishing in one particular category
  • The easiest way to get someone to buy from you
  • Writing a book vs. hiring a ghostwriter
  • Creating a journey for your reader where they will want to buy from you over and over again
  • The one important approach that most non-fiction authors are missing
  • The 3 must have criteria when you are doing your market research
  • How to repurpose the book you’ve already made and where to hire people to make it an easy process

In this episode, we consider renaming our show (just kidding!) and dive into some of our takeaways from attending the Traffic & Conversion Summit. It was a great event and there was a LOT going on. We chat about  how we set up our booth, some things we learned about the ins and outs of renting a booth, how we changed our tactics as the event went on and some of the amazing people we chatted with while we were there.

   

  There were some things we did purposely to make sure our booth was not only one of the most inviting and interesting ones there, but attracted great conversations with attendees and sponsors alike. We also dive into several a-ha moments we got while attending the event and why we have changed our goal for the future. If the idea of making amazing connections to further your business growth excites you, check out our conversations with Justin Schenck and Gary Henderson for more insight into growing your network and connecting with influential people.

   

  “We put ourselves right in the middle of the zone to be seen, and then the connectors show up, our friends show up, and subscribers and listeners show up.” - Joe Fier

   

  “On the expo floor, we had our own little hangout where people were just floating to us and chatting with us the whole time.” - Matt Wolfe

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

   

  • Great advice from Dan, who gets another shoutout - Hi Dan!
  • Matt’s big success that even Joe didn’t know about until just now
  • How we made our booth the most interesting on the floor
  • How we are to become major connectors in our space
  • Some things we learned about running a booth, that we never knew before
  • All the lightbulb and a-ha moments that went off, just from this one event
  • Going from America to Norway and back!

He’s one of the original internet marketers, and he’s a guy who sees trends and has a pretty good hit rate. This is one of those rabbit holes that we’ve gotten into outside of the podcast, and now is a great time to be aware of all the tech and utilities that are associated with a lot of these things. There are so many different ways to use the blockchain technology, and we’d love it if you would let us know if this is something you'd like us to talk about more in future episodes.

  Nothing in this episode is financial advice by the way, but it’s valuable to have conversations about it. Joel has been online for years, and he pivots fast and launches on a technology where he can have fun. You will get some great ideas on how Joel approaches tech. The way he explains his pivots is similar to the way we’ve done things as well, as we find little things we are interested in, then we explore it and love to share what we have learned with others. He also dives into the future of NFT’s, so many different ways to use blockchain technology and some of his favorite alt coins. Once you have listened, check out our chats with Mike Koenigs and Archit Batlaw for more insights into what the future holds for technology and business.

  “I don’t think there’s any true visionary aspect to it, it’s just that way I’m wired, I tend to pay attention to what’s happening and dabble.” - Joel Comm

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • The secret sauce behind Joel’s successful life
  • The best kept secret in the NFT world
  • Red flags to look out for in the crypto world
  • A new internet network and how you can be a part of it
  • How to find alt coins to invest in
  • So many other options with NFT’s other than artwork

  ]]>We have been searching for someone to speak with about crypto and NFT’s for a while, and it’s nice to circle back around to this subject with Joel Comm. He’s one of the original internet marketers, and he’s a guy who sees trends and has a pretty good hit rate. This is one of those rabbit holes that we’ve gotten into outside of the podcast, and now is a great time to be aware of all the tech and utilities that are associated with a lot of these things. There are so many different ways to use the blockchain technology, and we’d love it if you would let us know if this is something you'd like us to talk about more in future episodes.

Live events are happening again and we just returned from the Traffic & Conversion Summit. He will be sharing some things that we learned over time about how to be the most effective at these conferences and how to get the most out of them. 

  He shares a few hacks about how to connect with people and build our influence around the booth. Whether it be with the speakers, attendees, or exhibitors, we really like to network with as many people as possible and do it in a way where you really build a deep connection. Once you’re done, check out chats with Steve Sims that we mentioned and Michael Trainer as well for more insights into making awesome connections to propel your business.

  “You’ll get their email and once again, you have just opened the door. You’ve just kicked in that reciprocation principle, you’ve just given them a reason to reciprocate and you’ve just given them a reason to remember you as well.” - Matt Wolfe

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Connecting with everyone at the event, and not just attendees
  • Why we, as a sponsor, love connecting with other sponsors!
  • How to connect with folks that you might think are unreachable
  • How to use photos and videos for outreach
  • Exporting your contacts for use in future emails
  • How to get people onto your podcast
  • Using the event app - this makes for easy outreach!

When we got into marketing and entrepreneurship, one of the first books we read was his Influence, which explained the principles of how to execute what we put out into the world. Now with this updated, expanded version, it has been blowing our minds in terms of how practical it is, especially with a brand new principle added. Dr. Cialdini showed us how to get the ethical ‘yes’ and use these persuasion tactics in a very ethical way. 

  He also discusses the ethical use of scarcity, with limitations on the number of the product, as well as countdown timers. He also talks about how he did not write his famous book for marketers, he wrote it as a book to learn how to avoid being influenced by others. Some other topics we chat about include the Unity Principle and understanding how you look at things differently when you identify with others in the same group. We also talked about the trust factor, and when you take the power away from the buyer by sharing the bad stuff first to create trust and a bond. We have shared our struggles with our guests and on our Therapy Sessions, and we have found this to be very powerful. Lastly, we had an opportunity to ask some questions from our audience, so listen in if yours was included. After you’ve delved into this episode be sure to check out our show that we mentioned about branding as well as our chat with Neil Patel who also knows a thing or two about growing your brand in an ethical way.

  “People who are successful have recognized how these principles work at some level. What they often don’t recognize is how to optimize them, and the steps to take that not only activate the principle but maximize its impact in a situation.” - Dr. Robert Cialdini

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • The universal things taught to businesses in order to be successful
  • Why Dr. Cialdini’s book was not meant to be the bible for internet marketers
  • If you have this one particular kind of authority, no one can beat you as a communicator
  • An interesting study about showing your expertise
  • The magic of sharing your weaknesses
  • How to use this one word to get someone to trust you from the very first meeting
  • How to implement scarcity in situations where there really is none
  • What to tell people if you are early in the game

When Mandy told us that only 1% of users are actively posting on that platform, it really opened up our eyes to the possibilities. While LinkedIn may not be the answer for everyone, chances are your audience is on there. To be successful on LinkedIn, you really want to do what everyone else is not doing, i.e. acting like a human being without constantly pitching. 

  Mandy talks about some cool tips to dial in your profile to make you stand out as an influencer leader and how there are different features on the mobile app which you can optimize. She also discusses how her own clients have grown without even posting, but just by engaging. You can create that closed-loop system with comments and posts, plus she got tactical in regards to what the LinkedIn algorithm really loves. There are also some tips on how to post documents, and use LinkedIn Navigator to fine-tune your feed. If you want to get additional reach, connect with the people you want and appear as a thought leader, check out all the ideas she shares. Afterward, round out your networking and LinkedIn know-how by checking out our previous episodes with Trevor Turnbull and Joshua B. Lee.

  “We all have personal brands, whether you want it or not, especially entrepreneurs. Really anyone with a LinkedIn profile has a personal brand so you might as well start owning it.” - Mandy McEwen

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How to really succeed with LinkedIn (and it’s not as hard as you think)
  • The “Don’t List” of what not to do reach LinkedIn outreach
  • How to be seen as the industry expert without having to create a ton of unique content
  • Leverage these hacks to curate your own content easily
  • Which types of posts LinkedIn prefers the most
  • How to use LinkedIn to make you look more like an influencer
  • A super easy hack to make you stand out
  • Yet another business idea that we would use if you create it
  • The results that you can get just from leaving one comment on a post
  • Mandy’s key takeaways from her Traffic & Conversion talk

We have been immersed lately in understanding changes and our own habits, which have led to some self-sabotage at times. BJ talks about the concept of breaking the chain and how it can be detrimental to your progress. If your habit is too big, it can be hard to build up the momentum to continue. Plus, celebrating micro wins can be a huge motivator and they can come with every action that you do.

  BJ talked about his mission in spreading that ripple effect that will pass on to others, similar to how we love having fun while recording. He also gave us some real-life examples of creating tiny habits that stuck, such as how he was able to shed weight easily and how he starts his day in the right way to set his mind up for success. Still want more? Go check out our previous conversations with Anthony Trucks and Erin Pheil for more tricks to get you unstuck with some simple questions and quick tactics.

  “The best system whether it’s weight loss, sleeping better, or being more productive, is matching yourself with behaviors that will take you to that outcome, and these behaviors should be ones that you already want to do.” - BJ Fogg, PhD

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How one way of raising kids helps them to foster a sense of accomplishment and be goal orientated
  • How emotions create the habits
  • Breaking down the Fogg Behavior Model
  • The Maui Habit and celebrating life
  • BJ’s easy method for weight loss
  • Stopping the derailment of habits when your environment changes
  • The simple act of celebrating even the smallest of actions
  • Breaking the habit myths (hint: repetition does not create a habit)

Also, since we’ve been talking a lot about branding, we are back to branding these episodes as a Therapy Session once again. There’s been some great opportunities that we have been discussing for a while, specifically in the creator economy. We now see our company as a media company rather than just a podcast. We also know there are those listeners who are not necessarily trying to create a media brand, so we wanted to speak to that audience. If you know that the creator economy is getting bigger, there’s never been a better time to figure out how to sell the shovels to that industry without having to be an influencer. 

  We talk about the opportunities that we see in the creator economy and some cool stats that compare it to the gig economy. We also drop some insight into how you, as an entrepreneur can use this opportunity. Once you become aware of where the money and attention is flowing, you can position yourself and ride that wave with the creators. It’s a smart approach and we’ll talk about some ways where it’s not you building the media company, but you can be the specialist to provide your services to those on the rise, even positioning yourself for rev deals and partnership. Once you listened, be sure to check out our chats with Gary Henderson and Travis Chappell for tips on how to make connections and network with influencers on a level playing field.

  “Position yourself properly and strategically - anyone can do that now with the creator/influencer economy.” - Joe Fier

  “The fact that each one of these things has so many subtasks, is a huge opportunity for digital marketers who want to go and specialize in one of those. Just look at YouTube, and look at one of the tasks you’ve got to do for YouTube. There’s a business there that you can go and replicate for people over and over again.” - Matt Wolfe

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Examples of opportunities that never existed before, which you can specialize in and build a business around
  • Some interesting stats on where the creator economy is headed
  • A look behind the scenes of how we are building our media company
  • Generalists vs. specialists in the agency world, and how the pandemic has switched things up
  • Ideas on how to leverage the creator economy 
  • Steal one of our business ideas and run with it!
  • How to present a no-brainer deal to a creator, and turn it into a rev share deal

He’s got so many crazy experiences that have happened and shaped who he is. We talk about podcasting and some things that we didn’t even know which we know you will find helpful. Brian also chatted about his perspective in regards to mindset vs. tactics, and our survey that we put out last year, which we now know is not that cut and dry, and actually has a few layers to those results. 

  He’s got such great insights into triggers, and how to embrace the pain to avoid suffering, and gave us some real-life examples. The beauty of this conversation is showing how we can be blind to some things until they show up. We did talk a little about imposter syndrome and how we get it sometimes around tangents on the show if we don’t think we can add to the conversation. Brian was able to enlighten us since we now know to just say what we are thinking and awaken the sleeping giant in ourselves, which is very refreshing. There were so many a-ha moments in this conversation, that we will definitely be having Brian back for round two. In the meantime, you may enjoy our chats with Gabby Bernstein and JaMarr Johnson where we chat about how to get into a flow and get yourself on the best track.   

  “Typically what’s preventing us from being exactly who we want to be, reaching our potential, and having the impact on the world we desire... guess what - it’s us.” - Brian Bogert

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How the recent events over the last year have created a boom for podcasting
  • The magic of valuable sound bites that convert to attention and downloads
  • Redefining the patterns in your life that have been holding you back
  • When we surveyed our audience on Tactics vs. Mindset and how they are not mutually exclusive
  • Recognizing who we are as humans and defining mental toughness
  • The importance of knowing someone’s prime narrative to communicate with them in the best way possible
  • The stuff that no one is talking about in regards to changing the patterns in our own life
  • Check out Matt’s eloquent thought process on reacting to the metaphysical nature of the conversation
  • A new framework on how to view imposter syndrome
  • Recognizing pain and suffering to go forth to fulfilling our destiny

We are going to be talking about content creation on the platforms everyone is going to these days. We chat about recent stats, predictions and where things are headed. There’s a lot of cool things that we have been noticing, that we think will help everyone. 

  We’ve been pretty tapped in with what’s been happening in the podcasting space in the past few years, and our gut reactions have been pretty accurate. You’ll hear our thoughts about ClubHouse, Spotify, Fireside and, yes, even OnlyFans. Plus we deep dive into a poll by Edison Research that shows some interesting data in regards to where podcast listeners are hanging out for both searching and listening. So check it out, and when you are done be sure to have a listen to our chats with Rob Balasabas and Marc Guberti who drop some golden nuggets on how to maximize your YouTube views, as well as best practices for your descriptions, keywords and tags. 

  “There’s so much opportunity to leverage other people’s work and show up as a recommended video.” - Joe Fier

  “Anywhere you can have your content, have your content available there, because these trends might shift over time, so might as well be where everyone’s looking.” - Matt Wolfe

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Why we’ve been putting our focus on YouTube based on data
  • Interesting stats about where people are listening now and more trends that we’ve been eyeing for a while
  • What really bugs Matt about Spotify? Listen to find out
  • Why YouTube makes it way easier for your podcast to be discovered
  • Quick hits to get people’s attention
  • Our thoughts about the new Fireside platform and whether you should jump in
  • That one time we got to chat with Tyrese Gibson!

Today, we have Armand Morin on the show, and it was so cool to go down a page in history, as he talked about the early days of internet marketing way back in 1996. He tells the story of how he made over one million dollars selling bookmarks in the days before payment processors. Also, his email strategy and MAE framework were interesting to us, as well as how he doesn’t believe in funnels. He has flipped the idea of the funnel into more of a pipeline and gave us a dissertation on how to do email with this approach. We also chat about his email sequence based on webinars, which was another massive topic.

  This show was much more tactical than we thought, as Armand covered email strategies, webinar strategies, and even how to become a country music star. He’s also a national champion with Tai Kwon Do, and follows that whole “Success Leaves Traces” philosophy, which you can learn about in his book of the same name. After you’ve listened, you might enjoy our episodes with Dale Beaumont and David Jenyns for more tips on creating systems to save time and work smarter. 

  Lastly, if you are heading to Traffic & Conversions Summit, be sure to stop by our booth in the expo area and come say hello! There will be challenges, fun, and prizes! If you want to come network and hang out with us, we are going to be throwing a huge party at Mission Brewery in San Diego on Tuesday evening. There will be sponsors (if you want to sponsor, hit us up!) and we promise this will be a super fun party that you do not want to miss. 

  “At 3 hours into my whole internet career, I find this website that says ‘If you give me $20, I will put a link on my site that will link to your site and because I’m advertising so much, you’re going to get a lot of traffic to your site’ and I thought, Oh man, that’s brilliant!” - Armand Morin

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How to hack your way into becoming a huge country music star
  • Avoiding a painful, first business lesson 
  • The early days of selling links and having to print out paper checks!
  • How Armand created the world’s original search engine
  • What happens when you get your merchant account shut down when you are on track to make over $150,000,000 in a year
  • Why you want to think of selling through a pipeline, not a marketing funnel
  • The early days of the Warrior Forum - who knew?!
  • Changing up your email system with the MAE method, so you are getting more open rates and not hammering your list with the same message over and over
  • The new webinar strategy that has been a game-changer (it’s easier than you may think)
  • How to reverse engineer anything, even learning how to water ski

Many of our listeners have told us how much they miss our Therapy Sessions where we talk about what we are doing in the business and our struggles and wins, and this show will include a lot of those insights. We chat about where we see a lot of our marketing efforts headed, how the marketing landscape is changing for all of us, and some of the things we will be doing differently. We also discuss some of the ways that we are finally fulfilling our goals from years back and how we are going all in. 

  Also, if you are heading to the Traffic & Conversions Summit, be sure to stop by our booth in the expo area and come say hello! Make sure you are subscribed to our YouTube channel, as there will be challenges, fun, and prizes (cha-ching!)

  “The big four - the GAFA companies - are all battling it out right now over things like privacy, the various ad platforms and methods of advertising, and all the smaller companies who are trying to play by the rules are getting squashed in the mix.” - Matt Wolfe

  “We are going to be doing a hybrid approach between what we have been doing in direct response and internet marketing compared to more of the branding and creator play.” - Joe Fier

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • The big push for privacy among GAFA
  • What do with lower open rates and losing your cookies
  • Want to be in the movies? How we’re all in Godzilla vs. King Kong now
  • Let’s go back to college and talk about the S.W.O.T. analysis

Anthony has a new book coming out, Identity Shift, which we discuss in-depth on today’s episode. This was an impactful and timely episode, and one of the things we talked about was how there are people who want variety in life, and then there are people who want stability. For example, even in our own business, our new studio is the mechanism for wanting to change things up, as things were getting a little monotonous. Another analogy that Anthony discussed was the ball analogy, where the ball that you kicked far away is your goal and when it’s too far, the doubt comes in. So when it comes to goal setting, if you build too grand of a vision, you can get into mental trouble because that ball needs to be a little closer. 

  He talks about people who constantly consume and don’t take any action, so the more you consume, the heavier that ball becomes. Also, he talks about how one of the goals of his book is to clarify how to close the identity gap so you can upgrade your life to the next level. There’s a lot of good stuff in this one, and after you have listened, we have some great shows from our vault you should check out, including our previous show with Anthony and our chat with Nir Eyal that deals with mindset, becoming more products, and getting valuable feedback to make better business decisions.

  “At the end of the day, your identity has to match your dream or it will never be realized. A lot of people have dreams that are far beyond their current identity...the cool thing is as you shift into it, you simultaneously transform as a human, but you also achieve that thing.” - Anthony Trucks

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How our chairs are a metaphor for our business
  • What makes you a skilled speaker
  • What your ideal identity is comprised of and the identity gap
  • Are you suffering from the epidemic of shelf esteem?
  • The dinnertime conversation you can have with your kids to cement a positive relationship with them
  • The difference between parenting your kids and coaching them (plus how to get your kids to clean their room!)
  • The battery drawer question
  • Chasing your passions vs. sticking with what makes you money (even if you loathe it)

Today we are talking about branding, our thoughts and our experience with it and what we are learning about branding lately including the psychology behind it. It’s been a big focus lately in that we are trying to get ourselves dialed in on our brand, uplevel the video quality, and revamping our website design. There’s some specific reasons why we feel now is the time to be branding and we dive into this on today’s episode. 

  We will be covering some low hanging fruit ways to brand that you probably haven’t thought about. There’s also a few cool videos that we will reference and one of more interesting ways that one major influencer is building his brand plus the surprising reasons behind it. We have also updated some of our studio equipment and will dive into what some of our favorite brands are and why. In addition to all of this, we chat about the bigger picture behind your brand, making an impact on society, and leaving a legacy. After you’ve listened, be sure to check out the past shows we’ve done with Ryan Lee and Ryan Berman to give you some additional ideas on branding and building your tribe.

  “It’s important to make sure you have the brand understood before you do any dramatic things to the perception of your brand. Ask yourself how are people identifying and attaching to you right now and what’s the reason they are choosing you over another podcast?” - Joe Fier

  “The way we see it is, the bigger the brand that we can build, the more attention that we can create on us, and then we can essentially sell that attention.” - Matt Wolfe

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • What the leading YouTube influencers are doing outside the normal realm of promotion
  • Our top three favorite brands that have helped outfit our new studio
  • Some new platforms we might be testing out with our branding
  • Thanks again Ryan for the burrito hookup!
  • Building up your brand to sell attention
  • One good reason to not shoot at the highest quality for your videos
  • Getting people to feel like your brand is a part of their family
  • Is Apple still the creator’s choice?
  • Important things to consider if you are rebranding, including choice of music and color schemes

A lot of conversations we have had recently are in tune with what we want to do with our brand, which translates into a smart and productive way to work. It is less about tactics and business strategies as what’s really important is figuring out what we want to do and having the business facilitate that. 

  On today’s show, we chat about how Joe was able to take more time off as we have done, spend more time on the important things in his business, outsource the things that are not as important, and basically slow time to get more clarity. He also tells us a great analogy with his tale of his encounter with a rhino, what to expect if you are doing a book deal with a major publisher and how hie Slow Down School has helped many entrepreneurs to do just that, while also moving their own business ideas ahead quickly. If the idea of traveling the country while working your business part-time appeals to you, be sure to check out our previous show with Joe as well as the chat we held with Justin Brooke. 

  “Research shows that when you slow down you have better clarity on what you need to spend your time on. So if you are taking a Wednesday off and the weekend off and you are generally setting boundaries and letting your brain be optimized, then when you get to the week, you can kill it.” - Joe Sanok

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • The magical mindfulness of young minds
  • Roadtripping across America, while road schooling kids and podcasting about the adventure
  • The benefits of having two Fridays a week
  • Scheduling in fun first
  • Discovering your sprint personality to fine-tune your workflow
  • Staying at an Airbnb for the weekend to get more work done 
  • How we slow down in a way that matches what our brain needs
  • What to do when you see a rhino charging right at you

  ]]>Joe Sanok joins us again for a second show, with another fun conversation about chilling out, getting your mind in order, and having systems that have been a theme lately around the Hustle & Flowchart brand. A lot of conversations we have had recently are in tune with what we want to do with our brand, which translates into a smart and productive way to work. It is less about tactics and business strategies as what’s really important is figuring out what we want to do and having the business facilitate that. 

  On today’s show, we chat about how Joe was able to take more time off as we have done, spend more time on the important things in his business, outsource the things that are not as important, and basically slow time to get more clarity. He also tells us a great analogy with his tale of his encounter with a rhino, what to expect if you are doing a book deal with a major publisher and how hie Slow Down School has helped many entrepreneurs to do just that, while also moving their own business ideas ahead quickly. If the idea of traveling the country while working your business part-time appeals to you, be sure to check out our previous show with Joe as well as the chat we held with Justin Brooke. 

  “Research shows that when you slow down you have better clarity on what you need to spend your time on. So if you are taking a Wednesday off and the weekend off and you are generally setting boundaries and letting your brain be optimized, then when you get to the week, you can kill it.” - Joe Sanok

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • The magical mindfulness of young minds
  • Roadtripping across America, while road schooling kids and podcasting about the adventure
  • The benefits of having two Fridays a week
  • Scheduling in fun first
  • Discovering your sprint personality to fine-tune your workflow
  • Staying at an Airbnb for the weekend to get more work done 
  • How we slow down in a way that matches what our brain needs
  • What to do when you see a rhino charging right at you
  • The science behind vigilant detriment
  • One simple thing you can do to refresh your brain, pay attention better, and work more efficiently
  • The trick to getting to 100 pushups a day
  • What to expect when you publish a book with a big name publishing house

Today, we are chatting about a book that we both read and really enjoyed - The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel. We definitely had some a-ha moments after going through the book, which entails discussions surrounding the plight of Americans’ inability to set money aside for emergencies, why looking into historical data is not always the best option for determining the future, and why we think it’s important to avoid the dreaded lifestyle creep in order to set yourself up for wealth.

  We also talk about Matt’s Amazon wish list (wait until you hear what he got for Christmas!), our takes on investing (this is definitely NOT financial advice), and our thoughts about cool cars, crypto, and being on top of buying the latest gadgets. If you enjoyed this show and want to learn more about how to make your dollar go further while getting into the correct money mindset, be sure to check out our shows with James Altucher and Wealth Without Wallstreet’s Russ Morgan and Joey Mure. 

  “Everyone has the ability to save, if you have the right psychology around how money works and the use of it as a vehicle to get what you want out of life.” - Joe Fier

  “Most people study history and look at it as an indicator of what to expect for the future, but we are literally in unchartered territory every day.” - Matt Wolfe

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How most Americans can’t even come up with $400 for unexpected emergencies
  • What’s the real reason you are driving that super cool sports car?
  • Figuring out how to stop moving the goalpost 
  • How to approach money as a tool to get you that happiness you really want
  • The difference between being rich and having wealth
  • Do you suffer from “lifestyle creep”?
  • Our next sponsor is….Ferrari??
  • Why tying to predict trends based on historical evidence is not a good idea
  • Taking the pressure off a lot of common, desired things when it comes to money
  • Stressed about money? Good news - you are not crazy because we’re all in this together!
  • How to save a ton of money shopping on Amazon
  • Let us know what you think about our new show format!

We chatted all about how he came to create the app after he was able to get over his fear of flying and he walked us through these pre-methods, to prime your mind for various circumstances. For example, if you have an athletic event coming up or you will be speaking on stage, it primes your mind for all these activities. 

  Elliot works with people who are in the top 5% but know there’s something holding them back to reach that 1%. These include top athletes, poker players, and Wall Street businessmen, who use his hypnotherapy services to get past that subconscious wall to break through to the next level. We also talk about how to get over imposter syndrome, uncovering hidden memories, and dealing with feelings of guilt, especially when it relates to running your business. Once you have listened, be sure to tune in to our previous shows with Erin Pheil and Rinesh Ganatra for additional insights on how to rock your productivity and erase those roadblocks that keep holding you back.

  “If there’s a big difference between what you would tell yourself and what you are doing, there’s something going on emotionally because you know the answer but you are not able to  follow that system.” - Elliot Roe

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Digging into your past by using hypnotherapy to change your emotions 
  • Common problems regarding feeling stuck at earning at a certain level and how it usually relates to your father
  • How Elliot got over his fear of flying
  • The interesting world of working with high-end poker players and athletes
  • Getting over imposter syndrome
  • How procrastination is one of the most common things Elliot’s client deal with and how to get around it
  • Bullied as a kid? How to reframe those feelings
  • Dealing with those darn repressed memories that are holding you back
  • Feeling scared? Why you are not alone
  • Dealing with the feelings of guilt when you are not spending time on your business

We usually chat amongst just the two of us on Tuesdays, on this episode we decided to use an interview of someone interviewing us. This was an interview done by Stephan Spencer, host of Get Yourself Optimized and Marketing Speak, two great podcasts. We really enjoyed his line of questioning and he even stumped us on a few things. He’s a deep thinker and is well studied, and we know you will enjoy this episode. 

  You’ll hear us work out some stuff and come to some realizations, such as how we got to the root of what makes us curators. Stephan is great at extracting details and asked about numbers and KPI’s, but it’s interesting because over time our business has shifted from looking at the numbers and more about prioritizing the lifestyle and inner joy. We also talk about various things we have learned from books that we love as well as how we handle our business relationship, some lessons learned from our early days in business and our ideas for the future. After you have listened, check out our previous chat with Stephan that we mentioned, since he is an SEO wizard as well as our conversation with Gary Henderson who gave us his takeaways on connecting with amazing and influential folks as well.

  “Our goal, focus, and mind space is always on how to create better content, and we live in that world.” - Matt Wolfe

  “We have established ‘No Working Wednesdays’...and it’s allowed us to go 80/20, go deeper on the key actions that we should be taking and it has us really focused in.” - Joe Fier

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Why you should focus more on creating systems and less on creating goals
  • One of our big a-ha moments that really took the pressure off
  • Our partnership and the good parts and bad (which basically never happen)
  • No Working Wednesdays!
  • Building assets, not liabilities, and how to really determine the difference between the two (it may be different than what you think)
  • How we celebrate, even if it’s the little things
  • Did we really meet at a party on the beach? Tune in to find out!
  • How to multiply your child’s intelligence
  • Challenges, screw-ups, and missed opportunities
  • Dan gets another shout-out - Hi Dan!
  • Our ‘trick’ to affiliate marketing and why we are so good at it
  • How to get just the information you need without having to read a ton of content or go through an entire course

One of the things we talk about is having stories around specific things, and how when you listen to others tell stories about the same thing, you can have a reframe and change your perception around this subject. Everything is a frequency, and Angelo has such a deep level of awareness which he trained himself into, and he walks a different plane than most people. You will have so many a-ha moments as you listen to Angelo explain how to reframe your mind and use both feminine and masculine energy to be successful in your business.

  Being a storyteller also has many benefits, and creating your own energetic energy in your life will put you in the right frame of mind. Angelo gives an overview of how he works with clients to create an identity alchemism shift, as well as the secret weapon he uses to change his frequency to match the situation he puts himself in. When you have finished, be sure to check out our previous chat with Angelo and our show with Marx Acosta-Rubio as we talk about how to get over those thoughts which are holding you back to create the mindset you need to move ahead.

  “So much of what holds our lives back is having those past thoughts and experiences and that’s why being able to give good stories and recreate stories in our minds creates new thought patterns, new neural pathways, and expands us, and then we can allow for shifts.” - Angelo Sisco

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How reading the Goosebumps stories as a kid, helped to build a career
  • When telling a great story leads to analogies and insight
  • You’ll never think about tobacco in the same way again after hearing what Angelo has to say
  • The meaning behind the identity alchemist and how you can become your best version of yourself
  • How to change your identity to become a wealthy person
  • Where the best McDonald’s in the world is located! 
  • Insights into feminine vs. masculine qualities
  • Leading a life of bliss and serenity
  • Angelo’s secret, favorite thing that helps him change his frequency
  • How to train your mind to succeed in business
  • We are reading more of your reviews, so tune in - maybe it’s yours

It helps you come up with ideas, blog posts, emails, subject lines, and some folks are even creating books with it. 

  There’s also a copy idea generator, so we are answering these questions Jarvis came up with along with real questions sent in by our audience. If you want your questions answered, be sure to visit HustleAndFlowchart.com/ask, where you can write your questions and we will answer them live on an upcoming show. 

  We also tell you how we deal with affiliate promotions and how we test the waters, to decide whether a product or service makes sense to go all-in and promote. After you’ve listened, check out our chats with Rich Schefren where we dive into how big tech is changing and what you can do about it, as well as with Nikhil Aitharaju & Ryo Chiba and their views on the future of artificial intelligence and what is next for content creation.

  “We should all be thinking about how we build our own platform or this thing that is a lot more valuable than some stand-alone piece of content that someone is probably cranking through using Jarvis.” - Joe Fier

  “You take a concept from this book and one from this person and then you mold them all together and now you have your own view through your own personal filter.” - Matt Wolfe

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Shoutout to one of our awesome PodHacker members who sent us something special - Thanks, Ryan!!
  • Listen to our cool new, real-life sound effects!
  • Be sure to check out some clips of where it all began (in the intro)!
  • How to use a 21 step sales letter with Jarvis to get your content dialed in
  • Thoughts about AI in the future, using Jarvis and Descript to create new shows 
  • How to get over your fear of public speaking
  • Creating a brand new site, using other people’s content
  • The future of deep fakes
  • How to get smart with content strategy so you stand out
  • How we test the waters with affiliate promotions
  • How to learn from others through idea sex

  ]]>There’s a cool tool that we have been playing with called Conversion.ai which writes copy for you and it’s essentially grabbing information from the web and molding it to your requests with approximately 30 different modes. It helps you come up with ideas, blog posts, emails, subject lines, and some folks are even creating books with it. 

  There’s also a copy idea generator, so we are answering these questions Jarvis came up with along with real questions sent in by our audience. If you want your questions answered, be sure to visit HustleAndFlowchart.com/ask, where you can write your questions and we will answer them live on an upcoming show. 

  We also tell you how we deal with affiliate promotions and how we test the waters, to decide whether a product or service makes sense to go all-in and promote. After you’ve listened, check out our chats with Rich Schefren where we dive into how big tech is changing and what you can do about it, as well as with Nikhil Aitharaju & Ryo Chiba and their views on the future of artificial intelligence and what is next for content creation.

  “We should all be thinking about how we build our own platform or this thing that is a lot more valuable than some stand-alone piece of content that someone is probably cranking through using Jarvis.” - Joe Fier

  “You take a concept from this book and one from this person and then you mold them all together and now you have your own view through your own personal filter.” - Matt Wolfe

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Shoutout to one of our awesome PodHacker members who sent us something special - Thanks, Ryan!!

We like how he thinks through things, and how he talks about what it was like to work at Facebook. We also talk about his predictions and the consolidations as to how Facebook is getting into podcasting and how so many big companies are emulating what other big companies are doing. Archit talks about how, if you have followers, that’s way more powerful than figuring out some Facebook ad strategy. There’s the AI that’s available for everyone and it’s optimized already. 

  A lot of the things that people are specializing in right now such as copywriting and media buying are examples of things where AI is getting better and better at. This brings us to the main point in this episode which is how building a brand is everything. We also chat about the latest Apple update, some predictions about the future of the big media companies, and some thoughts on what Apple has in store next. Archit also gives us his thoughts on how he stays focused, how to put your tasks on an axis to determine how much time you may be wasting, and other ways to stay in alignment. After you listen, be sure to check out our shows with Rich Schefren and Bruce Clay for more insight into future trends in the digital marketing world.

  “With a subscription business, you don’t necessarily need to have this churn and burn, with 8,000 customers. You can have 1,000-2,000 customers and have a pretty nice business going.” - Archit Batlaw

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • What it’s really like working at Facebook
  • Is Facebook really tapping in our phones?
  • Following the theme of trial by fire to get customers fast
  • Is Facebook a social network or is it an eCommerce network?
  • Where the future of in-app purchases are heading
  • The latest Apple updates and how it affects your tracking
  • Please leave us a review, and if you have already - a big thanks! We are reading them on the show, so listen in, as maybe one of them is yours
  • Predictions on how to stand out in the future with your brand

We find that there’s a lot missing when we don’t have that perspective in mind, and maybe that’s you or you have a business and you want to go back to basics. We are talking about the handful of things that our younger selves would really appreciate hearing, such as our ideas on delegation, building our list, setting up systems, and how we put content out into the world.

  The overall theme is we want to identify different strategies that can help our younger selves and get past some hurdles and roadblocks even quicker. Another segment of today’s episode revolved around how we’ve been sending out emails, asking how we can help you and what are you struggling with in your business now. So if you have emailed us, listen up as we answer a few of the questions that we have received. When you’re done, go check out our conversations with Scott Carson and Stephen Esketzis for more ideas on how to set up systems and your content strategy to reach your audience more efficiently.

  “Speaking to our younger selves is creating a content machine that allows you to not only grow your brand by putting things out to the world and be able to share it but connecting with highly connected and successful people. You can engineer that yourself by creating your own platform. - Joe Fier

  “I’ve stopped thinking about being happy when and just enjoying what we are doing right now. I’ve shifted my thinking into ‘Let’s just make every day fun, and figure out how to make money off of that fun-ness that we’re having.’” - Matt Wolfe

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Before we knew what we were doing, drinking Corona and hanging out in the driveway
  • The mindset shifts which we both have had in the business, and have led us to have more time on our hands
  • Our platform way of thinking to connect with people and bring your message out to the world
  • How to become a merchant of attention so people can buy attention from you
  • The magic of leveraging a platform to build your own platform
  • The Catch-22 of being concerned about sending too many emails to your list
  • Wise words from the founder of Netflix
  • How our content strategy has allowed us to connect with not only our audience but a slew of amazing entrepreneurs
  • How we structure our free and paid content and why you should give away most of your information for free
  • We are also answering your questions on today’s show. If you are struggling with anything, post your question in the Facebook group, and we will let you know our thoughts on a future episode

Chris is a unique marketer in that he has more traffic than he knows what to do with, and we love the fact that he's built this system to give back to the world. He’s the founder of WhatIsMyIPAddress.com, a tech-friendly website attracting a remarkable 9 million IP-seeking visits a month. We discuss the benefit of banner ads and using an aggregator, and the breakdown of how his site brings in revenue, plus the promotion of his in-house tools which you can find on his site. 

  Chris also talks about how he uses HARO to get interviews for his podcast, Easy Prey Podcast, and his recommendations on how to make your media page stand out to visitors, so perhaps even you will get on television as he did. Motivated by stories of cybercrime victims, in 2020 Chris created his podcast to help followers learn about scams, fraud, and other dangers they face online and in the real world. When your stuff is compromised things can go south fast, and you’ll hear Chris’s take on creating online log-ins, two-factor authorizations, and all the aggravation you want to avoid if you have to contact a website if you lose your information. 

  If you want to dive deeper into the quiz funnel idea that Chris discussed on the show, be sure to check out our show with Ryan Levesque, and if you want to dive deeper into Google ads, you’ll love our show with Justin Brooke.  

  “I have the opposite problem that every affiliate marketer has. I have so much traffic, I don’t know what to do with it all.” - Chris Parker

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • The revolution of deep fakes in the world of scammers
  • What to be aware of as business owners, so you don’t get scammed
  • Dealing with bottlenecks in the business, before you get too successful
  • Should you use header bidding in your advertising?
  • Which are the best ad networks to worth with, especially when you are just starting out
  • Why you want a media page and what to include so it gets you more contacts
  • Using VPN networks - whether you should or not and which ones to use
  • An easy solution to get around the possibility of a ransomware attack
  • The three red flags you should know behind most email scams
  • Examples of people who have been scammed and how to make sure you are not next

We record them roughly the week before the show goes live, so the content we bring you is as fresh as the memory of the last dollar you made online. Lately we’ve been talking about dialing in all the stuff in our business and how we are aligning our actions with where we are headed in the next 10 years and beyond. We know that we all have things that we do routinely, such as checking emails and touching base with people, and when you have a good system behind it, it’ll make your day go so much smoother. 

  You’ll especially enjoy listening to Matt’s background with designing systems and how his brain works when it comes to fine-tuning the most simple of tasks with the use of some very simple tools. He talks about his three-step process and how he’s able to get to the coveted inbox zero on a daily basis. After you’ve got your mind spinning, be sure to listen to our chats with Paul Minors and David Jenyns who give us even more strategies and tactics to build systems in your life and business, so you can have more time, be more productive, and scale your business.

  “I do the stuff I least look forward to first so that all that’s left for the day is the stuff I do look forward to doing..” - Matt Wolfe

  “There’s the momentum of task completion too. You start with the easiest task first, and you build from that point on.” - Joe Fier

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Bringing the fun energy pre-show a la The Foo Fighters
  • How to constantly be optimizing even the smallest of tasks to make everything more efficient
  • Matt breaks down his 3 step system for handling email communication
  • The tools we use to make our lives easier so we have time for more fun
  • How to get to inbox zero every day
  • Reframing all your work and tasks to be able to look forward to the fun part of your business
  • How to get your systems dialed in, even if you really stink at it

Ryan brings to the table a different perspective than most marketing people. We discuss his stair stepper approach to marketing and how everything is connected. We also talk about how he created an actual city location, in Funner, CA and the magic behind that marketing campaign. 

  One of the things that we love about this conversation is to start by stepping into the shoes of who you are selling to, which is something we intuitively know, but don’t always practice. Think of how you would want to be marketed to, which is one of the toughest things, but remember the customers are holding all the cards. Ryan also discusses how, if you have a boring brand, do something to change that fact, and create stories around the brand to make it exciting.

  ]]>The time really flew by on today’s episode with Ryan Berman of Courageous Brands, as we let Ryan’s stories interweave into the show. Ryan brings to the table a different perspective than most marketing people. We discuss his stair stepper approach to marketing and how everything is connected. We also talk about how he created an actual city location, in Funner, CA and the magic behind that marketing campaign. 

  One of the things that we love about this conversation is to start by stepping into the shoes of who you are selling to, which is something we intuitively know, but don’t always practice. Think of how you would want to be marketed to, which is one of the toughest things, but remember the customers are holding all the cards. Ryan also discusses how, if you have a boring brand, do something to change that fact, and create stories around the brand to make it exciting.

  Also, make sure you listen to the end, as we read some of our recent reviews - maybe it’s from you! And after you have enjoyed this episode, be sure to check out our conversations with Dan Norris and Ryan Lee, who have both created successful brands by offering value and fun in a different way that makes them stand out from the rest.

We’ve been doing a lot of soul searching and have been upgrading our lives in different ways. We’re also still continuing to get insights and help from our friends and podcast guests, which is one of the main benefits of what we do.

  We also discuss our new schedules, our awesome new studio space, how we’ve been able to rid ourselves of several limiting beliefs and make the adjustment to hand off work which was hard to do at first, but has freed us up and in turn, made more money. Plus, we give our thoughts on a recent video we watched which dissects how to enjoy the journey as well as how to determine what’s meaningful in your business so you can spend less time on the things you think are important or necessary, but are really holding you back. After you’ve listened, don’t forget to check out the conversations we mentioned with Erin Pheil, Angelo Sisco, and Marx Acosta-Rubio on how to manage your life and workflow, for more balance and free time.

  “There is a lot of mental clarity and that allows us to almost naturally have more fun.” - Joe Fier

  “I go to my computer, Joe goes to his computer. I start working on things...we are sending files back and forth via Slack even though we’re next to each other, and the next thing we know it’s been 3 hours and we just built an entire funnel. Let’s go to lunch.” - Matt Wolfe

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How our new bachelor pad/podcast studio has made our life easier and more productive
  • Are burritos or tacos the next productivity booster? And who has the best tacos country-wide?
  • Enjoying the journey vs. getting to some specific destination
  • Working in opposition to today’s mindset of grinding it out now, for the glory later
  • Shout outs to our buddies at Alpha Hippie
  • Popping the limiting belief bubbles that hold us back
  • Making tasks like bookkeeping insanely fun
  • How to make things more fun

Justin talked about the Amazon affiliate sites that they sell a lot of, and a good way to learn which sites are selling is to visit their site and go through the listings. Keeping up to date on what’s selling in the marketplace is super valuable for all of us. We’re all building assets and there’s a way to enhance their value.

  We also talk about the hiring process, and if you check out their site under the careers tab, you’ll be able to see what we are talking about. He’s got a pretty solid hiring process that he mapped out. He discusses his sales funnel process of hiring, the benefits of hiring an apprentice, how to find potential hires if you don’t already have an audience to reach out to, and how to weed out the non-contenders early on. He also has an interesting take on the commission process and discusses how he’s made it more of a cooperative arrangement, which has worked out very well. After you listen and your mind is reeling from ideas, you’ll definitely want to check out our previous chats with Greg Elfrink and Matt Diggity, on how to best create a site for a future sale or to maintain it while making affiliate income.  

  “I don’t want to fail them..and if I fail them, I’m just going to be amplifying my own failure. But also, any entrepreneur that waits until they are ready to hire has waited way too long.” - Justin Cooke

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Pivoting after one of Google’s updates
  • Record-breaking numbers on website sales
  • How to hire an apprentice for your business and working through the ups and downs
  • Breaking down the strategy session process
  • A really smart way to get you noticed when applying for a position
  • Getting over your fears about hiring
  • Building commissions in a cooperative way so the whole team wins
  • Using a cooperative approach for a commissions structure
  • What to do when you are first starting out if building a site to sell

Travis is a guy that we could have easily chatted with for another hour and what came out of this show was way better than we anticipated. We discussed how to get the big name guests on your show, how to interact with them and encourage them to share the show afterward, how to network and build relationships with them, and how to create big events with past guests. He’s got a great philosophy when it comes to networking and while there’s a lot of things you can’t track such as the shoutouts from people you collaborate with, there’s also a lot of intangible benefits that happen down the road, such as investing, referrals, and advisory relationships.

  We love his idea of hosting dinners and bringing people together and we also love how he created his own reality for success as he used to live in a bubble growing up. Travis discussed his research methods and how he has put hours into it before the guest shows up, noting some key things to pick up on, so you can chat about the things which will make your guest light up. After you have enjoyed this show, check out the chats we referenced with Jordan Harbinger and Luis Diaz for even more ideas on how to network with the people you want in your circle and growth hack your podcast up the charts.

  “It was the first time in my life that I had actually taken a pay cut to do something different, but I just knew it was something I was meant to be doing.” - Travis Chappell

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Our recent thoughts on ClubHouse
  • Starting from nothing with no contacts
  • Giving your guests a reason to share the show with their audience
  • Why having a podcast is like getting a free education
  • How to navigate the conversation to get unique content out of your guests
  • A unique follow up process for past gets that adds a boatload of value
  • The new platform that makes it easy to connect with podcasts and filter out the podcasters who are less serious
  • Examples of questions to ask your guests that stand out from the usual, boring topics
  • How to get over the fear of reaching out to big-name guests

Victoria warp speeded her own journey, coming from the V.C. world as a super achiever, and is now on a journey to do more and help people who have created hugely successful lives, but still feel unfulfilled. She delves into why we need to discover the things that really light us up and how to go about doing that in such a way where the path will eventually reveal itself. 

  She also talks about how to focus on your awareness and your emotions to make you feel less fragile so you can let go of trying to control life while staying calm in times of uncertainty. Victoria even walked us through some coaching on the show, where we talked about constricted energy patterns arising from past events, and how to use her framework to get past it. It’s all about consistency and we’ve integrated a lot of these techniques ourselves lately to realize our patterns and get into more of a state of flow where we are leaning more towards our focus on having fun with the business. After you have listened, you’ll want to check out our conversations with Angelo Sisco and John Assaraf to help you destroy those blocks that are stopping your progress.

  “Our subconscious lives in our body and in our nervous systems, and not just in our minds. The body remembers what the mind may forget.” - Victoria Song

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Delving into why people are unfulfilled after experiencing great success

  ]]>We have the wonderful Victoria Song on the show today, and one of the big topics we discuss is how, through her coaching, she has talked to people who have made millions of dollars, yet feel empty inside, and how it definitely seems to be a common thing among the high achievers. Victoria warp speeded her own journey, coming from the V.C. world as a super achiever, and is now on a journey to do more and help people who have created hugely successful lives, but still feel unfulfilled. She delves into why we need to discover the things that really light us up and how to go about doing that in such a way where the path will eventually reveal itself. 

  She also talks about how to focus on your awareness and your emotions to make you feel less fragile so you can let go of trying to control life while staying calm in times of uncertainty. Victoria even walked us through some coaching on the show, where we talked about constricted energy patterns arising from past events, and how to use her framework to get past it. It’s all about consistency and we’ve integrated a lot of these techniques ourselves lately to realize our patterns and get into more of a state of flow where we are leaning more towards our focus on having fun with the business. After you have listened, you’ll want to check out our conversations with Angelo Sisco and John Assaraf to help you destroy those blocks that are stopping your progress.

  “Our subconscious lives in our body and in our nervous systems, and not just in our minds. The body remembers what the mind may forget.” - Victoria Song

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Delving into why people are unfulfilled after experiencing great success
  • The amazing results from hiring a life coach
  • Using unpleasant emotions as fuel for expansion
  • What entrepreneurs should be doing during the start up phase and afterwards to prevent the dreaded feeling that something is missing
  • Why you want to be more like bison
  • How to get into more of a flow state and operate from a sense of play
  • What to do when you get to that place where your nervous system has expanded
  • Accessing the field of infinite possibilities
  • How to create friction in your life so you can uplevel

We talked about increasing lifetime value, about how venture funds work, equity deal lessons, the marketing we should be focused on, and building an agency, systems, and owning your audience. We share the vision with Erik, as there’s a lot of what we’ve done previously such as having an agency, and we like the fact that he’s not trying to create his own products, but is just staying in his lane.

  We also talked about owning your own audience and bringing them somewhere where you can follow up with them as well as the idea of aspirational content where the content is built so it’s inherently sharable as that’s the content that people want to be shown. The content is what goes viral, not the sales page. We talk about how he is building sweat equity and brought in someone to view what he was doing, as there are probably some better deal structures out there. Erik has all these companies and basically crafted something where he can be his best self, which creates funds, books, and his own platform through scaling people. After you have listened, be sure to check out our chats with Charles Byrd and Sergei & Vadim Revzin to get your mind reeling with the opportunities behind venture funding and expanding your network for lucrative deals. 

  “Figuring out your average sales cycle is critical so you can analyze everything else well.” - Erik Huberman

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How venture funds are the next level of curation
  • Accessibility for great marketing for all
  • From beanie babies to a BMX
  • The #1 thing that most companies overlook in their marketing
  • Why 9 women can’t make a baby in a month
  • Why the consideration period is more important than you realize
  • Dialing in your content with your product or services’ aspirational ideals

We’re back with another therapy session and moving forward we are not only upping the frequency of these shows but want to make it more focused. On today’s show, we are diving into one of our favorite topics, affiliate marketing. We’re talking about how, after listening to one of our most popular therapy sessions from last year, we revisited what we are doing in the business, applied the 80/20 rule to our actions, and are making the necessary adjustment moving forward to focus on what we really love doing best - the platform building and building the audiences, and once we’ve built the audiences, showing people how we did it and tools that we used to do it.

  We also talk about some recent changes we made to our PodHacker membership, our love for our new studio and how it’s helped us to better manage our time, as well as a super cool Key Step Tutorial strategy and how we used it recently, promoting one of our favorite new tools, Conversion.ai. This is a great strategy that is not overwhelming to put in place, really targets those in your audience that are interested in what you are promoting, and is something that anything can do in their business. As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts as we appreciate you coming along with us on our journey! Don’t forget to check out our previous episodes where we discuss our affiliate marketing strategies: The Tools We Use For Affiliate Marketing and Unapologetic Affiliate Marketing Strategies. 

  “It really was a point where we actually had an ideal business model right there, and we were very close to it, where we didn’t have to do much. But we let it almost grow in ways that we didn’t want that load on us.” - Joe Fier

  “We really enjoy the platform building and building the audiences, and once we’ve built the audiences, showing people how we did it and tools that we used to do it.” - Matt Wolfe

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Whose face should join us in our podcast studio?
  • The realization after our 80/20 analysis
  • Discussing and reviewing a conversation we’ve had previously
  • Our super cool KST strategy which can be done in different modalities
  • Getting our content calendar dialed in
  • Going down the rabbit hole on YouTube
  • One huge benefit of the podcast as an online journal
  • A big change for PodHacker that really benefits our members
  • The actions that are almost guaranteed to make the most money

JaMarr then talks about his connection with a cannabis company and the health side behind it. He has a proven track record of figuring out the wins all around and leveraging what someone already  has going on, and he’s using his skills to leverage the processes, traffic, and infrastructure to make it all happen. After you’ve listened, be sure to check out our conversations with Steve Sims and Ken Coleman for more inspiration on how to get in front of the right people and the best ways to grow your network for fun and success.

We’re big fans of Joel’s selling process and the fact that he simplified the selling process dramatically and put all the obvious pieces out there. His power offer is so simple where he is basically making a no-brainer offer saying he can build this for you, you can have it within 24 hours and it’s guaranteed to make you more money than you spend on it. He also discusses his application process to pre-qualify a lead. You don’t always want to put the price on the application and set any expectations, because once you get someone on the phone, you might be able to offer them even more.

  You can use this process with affiliate offers and even a hybrid model, using it with potential rev share deals. With Joel’s method, you are getting the hottest prospects and are ready to solve their problems. It’s a way to extend that relationship, so it can be a great way to bring your best buyers to you. We also talk about having the MQL and SQL when building your offer, and how identifying folks ahead of time is super powerful. When you are done be sure to listen to our conversations with Jason Fladlien, a webinar and handling sales objections master, and Sam Bell, who discusses high converting webinar audiences and value-based strategies. 

  “What we are doing is going after the solution aware market.” - Joel Erway

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • A big turning point in how Joel structured his offer
  • How the power offer came to fruition and the amazing results that occurred
  • A 90% reduction in cost per acquisition by flipping the offer around
  • The steps that will define your own power offer
  • The #1 mistake when creating a power offer and mini webinar
  • Why you don’t always want to include the price in your application process
  • The difference between MQL’s and SQL’s and which you should focus on
  • How to get a complete mini-webinar done for you in ten days ready to launch
  • Low ticket offers vs. high ticket offers and which to use when
  • Examples of big wins when working with clients
  • Getting as specific as possible to appeal to those who value time currency

It was even better to hear it in action and have him explain it as he went along in the content of the framework that he laid out. You can use this structure for everything, and the way he “sells” is the way we would sell. We tell stories that theoretically get people to buy from us but we never go for the close. He was explaining what people would miss out on, and towards the closing, he does it in a way where people are realizing they need to work with him, so it becomes their idea to work with him. 

  Alex also discussed the cost of inaction and using that in relation to the story is something that’s not used often but has great results. Part of what he does is have you picture possibilities and go through the motions with him, so it makes you feel like you can do this. You’ll hear Alex’s story structure of when/where, who is involved, what happened, then how and why this is relevant to you. You’ll also hear some great stories as only Alex can tell them, as well as some tips to other marketing icons through the years, as Alex brings his many years of knowledge to the show. If you liked this episode, you might also enjoy our chats with Sean Vosler for even more storytelling techniques and with C.J. Martin, who not only tells some great stories but talks about how to build a standout brand in a crowded market.

  “I don’t change minds, I convince minds who are already coming in my direction or going to a competitor to rechannel behavior.” - Alex Mandossian

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • A marketing launch that made $1.2 million in less than 30 minutes
  • Knowing your first mentor
  • How to boost your conversion rates with one sentence
  • The two step process to lowering acquisition costs
  • The winning sales technique behind a chocolate chip cookie sale and a trip to Disneyland
  • How anyone can be a marketer
  • The framework of what makes a great story, especially the ending
  • The $14,000,000 toilet teleseminar story
  • A simple, two questions trial close that anyone can do

  Alex also discussed the cost of inaction and using that in relation to the story is something that’s not used often but has great results. Part of what he does is have you picture possibilities and go through the motions with him, so it makes you feel like you can do this. You’ll hear Alex’s story structure of when/where, who is involved, what happened, then how and why this is relevant to you. You’ll also hear some great stories as only Alex can tell them, as well as some tips to other marketing icons through the years, as Alex brings his many years of knowledge to the show. If you liked this episode, you might also enjoy our chats with Sean Vosler for even more storytelling techniques and with C.J. Martin, who not only tells some great stories but talks about how to build a standout brand in a crowded market.

He is the first video outreach we ever brought on, and his video really stood out, over the approximate 30 requests we get on a daily basis. Avi covers a variety of video formats, and he managed to build a $126,500 who have been on his program which starts at his $1 webinar. He’s also got a huge following on Instagram and gives a ton of free value on there and Facebook. What intrigued us, is this is something we’ve been doing and we’ve never had a methodical process. 

  Avi also gave us so many additional ideas to use this style of video, and you could start with the videos we outline then go deeper on so many other videos with his catalog. Plus, you can start all of this using just your phone. The video is personally customized and it’s simple outreach that sends you to his YouTube channel. It doesn’t take a long time to create, and the reason he does this is that he wants to be with his family more. If you are not using video and leveraging these tools, this is like magic, and you need to harness it now to connect with people. After you have listened, be sure to listen to our chats with Shaina Weisinger and Gideon Shalwick as they dive into the keys to keep people watching your videos and the best tips for the highest engagement.

  “I think you have to put your foot down and say ‘I’ll give you stellar service, but I do it only on video.’ You have to tell people this is how I do my business.” - Avi Arya 

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How the video factor wows your potential customers
  • Examples of exactly what to say in your video
  • Getting buyers for 90 cents a lead and a $1 trial offer
  • How the pandemic has changed the way entrepreneurs spend their time
  • Avi’s 4-minute video formula for outreach
  • A winning strategy to use with Quora ads
  • An overview of the 33 videos in the program, including all the social media platforms
  • What you are probably not taking advantage of with your Instagram profile but definitely should be using
  • The superpower of the 21st century and how you can leverage it to gain an audience
  • How often you should be making videos and the perfect length, depending on your goals

We’re back with our monthly therapy session and we are stoked to talk to you guys about our new studio. TBD on the name, but it’s getting close. We’re going to talk about why we got the new studio, all the cool equipment we got for the studio, a little about what’s been going on behind the business, and of course, the big reason behind why we got the studio. You’ll hear about the specific equipment we purchased, the way we set it up for a particular reason, as well as some less costly, but totally fun purchases we made to make it our own.

  There are a few different reasons why the new studio is a big go for us and looking ahead, we want to tell you about our goals for growth, especially when it comes to YouTube. We also have a few changes in mind when it comes to the format of the show and we’d love to hear your thoughts. We’re excited about this new phase and can’t wait to show you guys some more behind-the-scenes footage as well as, how we are bringing all the tech, audio, and video footage together to grow our content strategy and brand. After you are done, check out our previous Therapy Session where we talk about how to become a PodHacker as well as our chat with Pat Flynn, and how he’s been able to build an amazing show and brand over the years.

  “We’ve noticed that content creation is best when we are together in a focused place...and there’s a mind-meld that happens in a different way when there’s a whiteboard in an office that has no distractions.” - Joe Fier

  “It’s been the vision and what we’ve always wanted to do. We want a creator space and a getaway, thinking mastermind space.” - Matt Wolfe

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • The one time recently when Matt was not wearing a hat (for a very good reason)
  • The big “Why” behind the reason we moved forward with securing our studio space
  • Saying goodbye to the trash man, the washing machine, and the gardener
  • Shout out to our awesome editor, Jacob
  • Listen in as we take you through an audio tour of this massive new space

On today’s show, we discussed his momentum engine which is his four-step process that is customer-centric to attract, close, deliver and retain. Also, his 1-3-10 process is very cool, and if you are struggling for sales, he makes some great points. He’s got this concept about not bothering to run ads because if you are trying to get your first 100 leads on your list, use your social media account and your friends, tap your existing network, then ask them to tap their own network. If you are just getting started, just figure out how to get that first one, then duplicate the same system for the first three, then the first ten.

  We talk also about how to scale, bring more revenue into the process and dive into whether that’s the right market for you, instead of being caught up in the latest ways to drive traffic. With Funnelytics you can really drill down to see what the high impact stuff is, so you can scale those things and you are not guessing in your marketing anymore. After you have enjoyed this show, and to get even more insight into testing your marketing tactics, check out our episodes with Shaqir Hussyin and Anfernee Chansamooth.

  “I thought wouldn’t it be cool if I could just draw my funnel on a canvas and overlay all my data just like I would on a whiteboard, and that’s how Funnelytics came to be.” - Mikael Dia

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How Funnelyitics came to be and the process of creating a new piece of software
  • Testing and trying new online methods until you get that very first sale 
  • You want to have this one, very important thing when building a software company
  • How to validate your product idea while giving value and getting feedback ahead of time
  • Mistakes made along the way when building this tool
  • The two things you need in order to grow your business and how the momentum engine fits in
  • How the 1-3-10 scaling method will help you understand what adjustments need to be made to scale
  • Using data from the software to run simulations and forecast future conversions and revenue

We talked about the shifts and pivots people had to make over the last year from going to live events to online conversations. Plus, we chat about the things we’ve had to shave off from our own lives and what we can stop doing, which is something that’s not talked about as much. It’s that non-negotiable part of our lives, which we have individually and collectively been saying no to lately.

  Something else Brian discusses is non-negotiables in our lives and knowing that if we don’t want to do it, if it’s not fun, which is the main theme of our show lately. We have stopped glorifying the money part of the business but instead, try to glorify our lifestyles. You’ll also hear Brian’s thoughts on what he’s learned from the marketing greats, such as Perry Marshall, Jay Abraham, and Dan Kennedy, and even Picasso, how he uses what he’s learned from direct marketing over the years as well as how he is getting amazing open rates with his emails. After you have listened, you’ll want to check out our chats with Mike Long and Marx Acosta-Rubio for more talk about how to make the best use of your time while using this current economy to your advantage.

  “If you have content, not everybody is going to see the content all of the time. Even if you repeat stuff a year later, it’s new for a big chunk of the audience.” - Brian Kurtz

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Lessons learned from direct marketing 101
  • Applying rules from geniuses like Picasso to apply to the future
  • Pre-pandemic planning which led to success
  • What to keep and what to throw away in your business
  • What does cutting up a salami have to do with content marketing?
  • The 4 C’s concept when trying new projects
  • What’s ahead for the future of live events

We really loved our conversation with today’s guest - Dale Beaumont of BusinessBlueprint.com. The way he creates his systems is so smart, and if you did not see the video version of it, he showed us that he has a flowchart for literally everything he does in his business. His systems include things like how to change the lightbulbs and how to make coffee in the coffee maker as well as more in-depth tasks such as how to set up an email campaign and how to create an asset register. You can see that video on our YouTube channel at HustleAndFlowchart.tv

   

  There was also a boatload of mindset stuff, as Dale talked about how we create excuses that hold us back and reminded us that there are so many tasks we do ourselves that are super easy which we know we can hand off to someone else. It’s not about the time, it’s about the mental space and the opportunity cost. Dale also showed us how to document things with apps such as Loom or Otter and how, basically you can run an entire coordinated event, assigning due dates, and linking to all of your SOP’s. We also talk about how he was able to publish 11 different books in one year and how he set up his systems which allow him to travel with his family 4 months out of the year. After you have listened, check out our chats with Michael Gerber, another systems marketer, and Crystal Dwyer Hansen & Mark Victor Hansen who were instrumental in Dale’s success with book publishing.

   

  “The reason being is because I had great systems. When you’ve got good systems and people, and you’ve got a good product, then you can really scale.” - Dale Beaumont

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

   

  • How Dale is able to spend two months at home, then travel for one month, including his wife and two kids
  • Being able to publish eleven books in one year
  • Smart advice to move forward from one of the most successful book authors
  • This one question to ask yourself to determine if you need a system or not
  • Setting up your own mission control for all of your team’s tasks
  • The three core components you need when systemizing your business
  • Getting over the limiting thoughts so you can hand more stuff off to save you hours and hours of time
  • Making business decision using simple math

His systems include things like how to change the lightbulbs and how to make coffee in the coffee maker as well as more in-depth tasks such as how to set up an email campaign and how to create an asset register. You can see that video on our YouTube channel at HustleAndFlowchart.tv

   

  There was also a boatload of mindset stuff, as Dale talked about how we create excuses that hold us back and reminded us that there are so many tasks we do ourselves that are super easy which we know we can hand off to someone else. It’s not about the time, it’s about the mental space and the opportunity cost. Dale also showed us how to document things with apps such as Loom or Otter and how, basically you can run an entire coordinated event, assigning due dates, and linking to all of your SOP’s. We also talk about how he was able to publish 11 different books in one year and how he set up his systems which allow him to travel with his family 4 months out of the year. After you have listened, check out our chats with Michael Gerber, another systems marketer, and Crystal Dwyer Hansen & Mark Victor Hansen who were instrumental in Dale’s success with book publishing.

   

  “The reason being is because I had great systems. When you’ve got good systems and people, and you’ve got a good product, then you can really scale.” - Dale Beaumont

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

   

  • How Dale is able to spend two months at home, then travel for one month, including his wife and two kids
  • Being able to publish eleven books in one year
  • Smart advice to move forward from one of the most successful book authors
  • This one question to ask yourself to determine if you need a system or not
  • Setting up your own mission control for all of your team’s tasks
  • The three core components you need when systemizing your business
  • Getting over the limiting thoughts so you can hand more stuff off to save you hours and hours of time
  • Making business decision using simple math

This episode is part comedy and a whole lot of insights and tactics about content marketing. You’ll hear about some of the pinnacle moments Massimo had while building AdEspresso, his content marketing strategies, his thoughts about startups and the ups and down of moving your business to a new country. We also talk about how he was able to build up AdEspresso in such a short time by doing a lot of split tests, with actionable information and sharing the data of what they found. They also created a giant swipe file, which anyone can make for their own audience. Now you have a page on your site that’s very attractive where you are aggregating information, getting a ton of backlinks without having to create a 5,000 word post.

  We also talk about his big exit from the company, and how so many have this idea they will exit, retire onto easy street, but that’s usually never the case. You’ll also want to check out Massimo’s manifesto he wrote which is all about revenue acceleration on his new venture, Breadcrumbs.io. There’s a lot of principles in there that pulls a lot of the nuggets he references, such as the value exchange. Once you’re done be sure to listen to our chats with Lisa Buyer and Dan Norris for more tips and tactics on branding and building up a strong brand identity.

  “That’s a huge asset, because your advertising will be cheaper...people are more willing to click on the ad because they recognize the brand” - Massimo Chieruzzi 

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Bad at selling or hate talking to people? Listen to what Massimo did to succeed
  • Let us know who’s right when we talk about the river (you’ll know when you listen to the outro)
  • The ups and down of agency work
  • Balancing trying to build the next great product even though you may not be passionate about the project
  • The truth about the world of start ups and what you never hear about
  • The perks of having a recognizable brand
  • The story behind the controversial chicken
  • Getting attention to your brand without have to talk to people
  • The concept of having code as content 
  • Reach out to this specific audience to get linking building results
  • How mid-scoring can lead to revenue acceleration in your business
  • Standing out and being unique in the online world

We all have this pull-back effect and let our minds wander when we are away from home. We need to figure out how to be the operators of the business, and one of the things that stood out for us was that we loved Jackon’s process with marketing, sales, delivery, and growth. 

  Marketing is only one piece of the puzzle of a successful business. We’ve figured out how to systemize marketing, but we still feel like we are stuck in the delivery elements of it. Jackson specializes in wealth creation for business owners and you’ll hear how he creates this for his clients, his F4 framework to get you there, how he prepared to take his year-long trip traveling to places where others couldn’t go, the importance of outsourcing, and how to look at your long term game plan to achieve what you really want. He’s got a lot of great frameworks which will get you thinking, no matter how big or small your business is currently. After you’ve listened, be sure to check out our conversations with David Jenyns, the master of systemizing, and Moe Abbas to help you find the right folks so you can scale your business and focus on your genius.   

  “We all have the ability to create a business that allows us the financial means to support whatever it is that we want.” - Jackson Millan

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How to take your business from relying on you as the expert technician to one where your team handles it the same, if not better
  • Dealing with the death of the ego
  • More discussion about brussel sprouts!
  • The F4 Framework to create your dream life
  • The important questions to ask before you can consider stepping away
  • Allowing things to break to determine the weaknesses in your business
  • Simplifying your systems so that you can outsource your workflow
  • Enjoying the journey and making your business fun
  • Jackson’s set up to travel off the beaten path
  • How to live for today, and plan for tomorrow
  • Creating wealth and working smarter, not harder

In this episode, Molly is so tactical and we highly recommend you go to HustleAndFlowchart.tv as this is one of the few ones where she shows her screen. You’ll see her dive into her Spaghetti Launch, where she pulled off a crazy successful launch. The beauty is she didn’t even have a ton of people going through there but still got crazy results. 

  We are in awe of all the live videos Molly puts out and she gives a boatload of tips on how to change up your Facebook newsfeed so that you can engage more with the content that you want to see, how to best use your Facebook memories to increase engagement, her daily STARS tactic. We also talk about ramping up our Facebook engagement in the groups, and with other social platforms, best practices for group posts, and how to track them as well as using friends lists the right way. After you’ve taken all this in, be sure to listen to our previous chat with Molly (where you’ll hear the brussel sprouts strategy) as well as our conversation with Curt Maly for even more Facebook golden nuggets.

  “It revives your group and I’m always wanting to add more people to it, but more than that I don’t want to add a bunch of people into a group that makes it dead. I’d rather talk to the people who are there and increase the engagement.” - Molly Mahoney

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How to raise awareness to the free challenge from the get-go
  • Opening up your own bottle of social media champagne
  • How Molly went from giving free content to generating $300K in a short time
  • An important distinction of where to put your training videos for your challenge
  • How to up your community engagement
  • How to implement your own daily STARS effort in your group
  • What’s almost as good as brussel sprouts? Tune in to find out!
  • How to create your own giant orb of information and show the algorithm who you want to be connected with

Being open to receiving is probably one of the things most people struggle with, and this came up in our conversation today as there’s this feeling that we want to constantly give value. For anyone who wants to give non-stop, the receiving does tend to make you feel guilty, so you need to be open to receiving. 

  Bob explains how to not only be open to receiving, but mastering your emotions an having empathy, even if you cannot completely relate to another’s situation, as well as letting go of the need to be right, communicating with tact and setting up a proper frame ahead of time so that the results of what you do will be beneficial and lead others to  react in a positive light. After you’ve listened, go check out our conversations with Nir Eyal and Brian Kurtz for more insight into how to build upon positive habits and promote values that are important to your life and business. 

  “Money is an echo of value. It’s the thunder to value’s lightning which means that the value must be the focus and the money you receive is a natural result of the value you are providing.” - Bob Burg

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How to address the separation of how we communicate online
  • What to do if you feel like you are being taken advantage of in business
  • Being congruent in your giving and staying true to your values
  • Mastering your emotions
  • How to let go of the need to be right all the time while also influencing others
  • A coffee shop story you can learn from to set up your matrix
  • The importance of communicating with tact

Zimmerman today, who is a go-to authority on all things Instagram. You can also check out a bunch of screen shares at HustleAndFlowchart,tv so you can follow along to get the visuals she shared with us.  Sue B. started her journey on the platform with her case study based on her retail experience, and she has evolved to use it in her business today with all the tactics and various functions available that most people are not utilizing. We talk about her use of a text expander and having pre-saved messages which are a huge time saver. Sue B. also has a very successful YouTube channel and we dive into her tactics, our own mistakes in trying to grow our Instagram channel, and how we’ve had to undo a lot of those errors. 

  From Instagram guides to Instagram reels to Instagram posts to carousels to  IGTV to IG Live and more, Sue has got you covered! She is truly an Instagram expert and is currently one of only 20 beta testers using Instagram’s new Mobile Monkey engagement tool, which she says is a game changer. We also talk about the role of ClubHouse and how it relates to Instagram, how to properly set up your messages in your DM’s, what to do if you do not have the ‘swipe up’ capability as well as the difference between business accounts and personal accounts. This show is one you do not want to miss as it’s packed full of tactics! Once you’ve got some ideas, make sure to tune into our chats with Gary Henderson and Los Silva to dive into even more tactics on how they are using Instagram to its fullest potential. 

  “There is a conversation hub for every hashtag and if the conversation does not align with your business, values, audience or interests, you shouldn’t be using that hashtag.” - Sue B. Zimmerman

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How we botched our own Instagram account
  • Priming the pump to grow your organic reach
  • How to utilize the carousel feature effectively to get your audience engaged
  • How to direct link to your highlight reels
  • Creating an Instagram guide using your content or someone else’s

On the show today, we have a fun chat about his experience appearing on the show, how he prepared his pitch ahead of time, his conversations with some of the sharks which did not make it on air, and what it’s really like to walk down that hallway and make your presentation.

  We also dive into his plans ahead with his chair technology, how he plans to expand his line of chairs to other markets such as gamers, as well as his involvement over the last with Intellihelp.org, a much-needed organization that matches up people who want to help others affected by the covid crisis with those in need. After you get your mind reeling with ideas, be sure to check out our chats with Jeff Vacek and Robo Hendrickson for more tactics and insight on how to get more traction to get your products out to the world.

  “You should be keeping your body moving throughout the course of the day. Pretty much every other chair out there, are 3,000-year-old designs. You can go into the British Museum and see this 3,000-year-old chair. It’s the same thing we are sitting on right now.” - Bing Howenstein

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Everyone needs to experience something like….
  • How Bing got on the show
  • The vetting process everyone goes on
  • What you did not get to see happen on the show
  • Will we get to see Joe on a future episode of Wipeout? (fingers crossed!)

  • What you need to have prepared beforehand
  • Coming soon to a desk near you…

Today we talk about a variety of subjects, starting with our thoughts on how to build a website and make it profitable enough to sell. This stemmed from our previous chats with Matt Diggity and Greg Elfrink, which were hugely popular and generated some questions from our listeners, including how to build up a site to $500 per month. We discuss a variety of ways to do this, where to go to find the best writers, how to create a site even if you do not consider yourself an expert, and how to team up with influencers so that you are orchestrating all the content.

  We also talk about our recent launch with PodHacker.com, some amazing results our members are having already, our plans for affiliates to promote, and our thoughts on all the recent discussions about NFT’s and some major players on YouTube as well. As usual, we love creating these shows for you as it gives you a behind the scenes look into our business in addition to our take on the latest chatter in the marketing world. Afterward, don’t forget to check out our shows with Matt Diggity and Greg Elfrink which was the basis of this conversation and where you’ll hear in more detail the benefits of creating sites to sell for big profits, as well as how to create your own media empire.

  “There are a few ways to approach it - you can invest time and you can invest money. If you want to do it right, you’re probably going to be spending a little bit of both.” - Matt Wolfe

  “If you are just there to facilitate the conversation, and not be the expert (you don’t have to be the expert) let them create the content for you.” - Joe Fier

   

  Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Information intent vs. buyer intent keywords
  • What would Matt do if he were just starting out today
  • Joe puts an end to how he pronounces the word “niche” (the right way ;)
  • How to get others to create the content for you
  • How to find influencers in your niche
  • Forget about needing to be the expert - do this and you can dive into any niche that interests you
  • The magic of creating almost impossible deadlines
  • PodHacker: From concept to launch in six weeks

On this special day, we’d like to pay tribute to the badass women who we have had the pleasure to have as guests on the show during 2020. Check out some of the awesome strategies and tactics which we have covered via these badass gals!

  Sue Rice - Storytelling Tips

  • Nicknamed the ‘female David Ogilvy’, Sue Rice is famous for writing award-winning copy for countless entrepreneurs and we chatted about her email copywriting tactics which enable her to deliver record-breaking open rates. One idea is to make connections between things that are seemingly unrelated. We are swimming in a sea of metaphors and part of it is just being conscious of it. One way to make it interesting and bring it into a fresher light, is extensive reading, watching movies, etc. The magic is in everything that’s around us. 
  • Sue listens to the news on the BBC, which has very clever writers. She also uses an app called Clipboard where you can pick the categories you want to follow. It’s important to do a little bit of collective brainstorming every day to see what people are talking about, otherwise, you are defining what you are doing for them on your terms, not theirs. You want to be entering the conversation in their head and if you are not watching that, it’s hard to do.
  
  

  Molly Mahoney - Facebook Engagement

  • Molly Mahoney of The PrePared Performer, is legendary for her Facebook marketing skills. She’s a wizard at doing Facebook lives and getting organic reach. We chatted all about how Molly is able to get high ticket coaching clients, right from Facebook, how to grow Facebook groups, and how to get interaction on Facebook pages with her four-step process.
  • We loved her advice in regards to getting more engagement on Facebook. She tells us that the rules have changed for bots and there are four types of messages, one of them being a confirmed event reminder. When they comment on the post, they confirm to the bot they want to be reminded of more information. Another way to use this is that when they say yes, you ask them if they want to be reminded about all of your content coming out.  Once they confirm, you want to make sure that button opens up to another piece of the conversation so you are engaging in another conversation within that 24 hours. 
  • Another strategy is the “Unlock and Share Button”, so when they are in your bot after they get the show notes or whatever it is that you are giving, send another message a minute later that says you have a bonus gift they can get if they share your video, and if they want to access, just click here to unlock and share the video. 
  
  

  Lisa Cherney - The More You GFR, The More Impact (And Money) You Will Make

  • Lisa Cherney, now known as The Queen of Clarity, is the host of the ground-breaking confession-based GFR Podcast show for successful soulful entrepreneurs and founder of the GFR Squad, a lively community that is serious about embracing the GFR lifestyle and living a life without regrets.
  • One of her GFR commandments is “Don’t worry about being normal” and the confession is “Where are you not speaking your truth?” That’s where the juice is, determining what is your soapbox. If you weren’t worrying about offending anyone or breaking any laws, what would you want to say? People are too concerned about what strategy they are going to use, but eventually, the strategy will emerge.
  • The more you get real, the more impact you will make. So the first thing is to determine if you are ready. If you’ll do all the strategies and make the investment, this is where to go next. If you are ready, choose the confession question that hits you in the gut and go from there. Just pick the one question, take some time with it, and it will do wonders.
  
  

  Sara Christensen - Defending Your Business

  • Our chat with Sara was really eye-opening as she talks about how one little post sent her world in a spiral, leading to an all-out war waged on her business, thousands of hateful messages, and even death threats. You want to be extra careful what you are putting out there and what you are involved in. If you don’t already have procedures in place of your social media and email communications, you should make sure that whatever you put out in the world is not going to offend or piss someone off.
  • If you are using outside resources for VA’s, you may run a risk. You don’t want someone working on your team, that’s not as invested or doesn’t understand the complications of posting something that might be harmful.
  • Understand the power of social media which is so amazing yet also be weaponized against you. Be mindful to use it as a building block for your business. Consider if there other ways to diversify where your clients are coming from. Ask yourself, “What if your social media channels got taken away today - what other plans do you have in place?”
  
  

  Ilana Wechsler - In-Market Audience Targeting 

  • We also chatted with Ilana Wechsler of Green Arrow Digital, who is a former data analyst, turned Pay Per Click marketing expert. She detailed her paid ad puzzle technique and how to make the different pieces of your marketing puzzle work together. 
  • Google is shifting away from the concept of targeting content science to targeting more in regards to who you are as a person, which is like identity-based targeting. One of the ways they are doing this is with in-market audiences, which is very short-term intent-based searching. So you can match your Facebook targeting to Google’s in-market audiences. For example, consider if you are suddenly in the market to buy a car, where you don’t normally search online for car information. Then there are what’s called affinity audiences which is your long-term behavior or things you are looking at online often.
  • So basically you're starting with the people that are already going to your website and looking at who they are and what their actions are, and then slowly expanding out more and more as you get additional data on who these people are that are already coming to your site. If you find those audiences work, especially on the Google side of things, you can apply that in-market audience to your search quadrant and also to the YouTube quadrant. It's a process of systematically building out your puzzle, based on data and if something doesn't work then it doesn't make sense to apply it to a different quadrant.  
  
  

  Susie Moore - Removing Your Blocks

  • We loved chatting with Susie Moore, author of Stop Checking Your Likes as it’s something we’ve all fallen into. One of the things she discussed was how to remove your blocks. First, you need to state as a fact, that you are worthy of receiving. Susie uses the example of being out on a hike with your friends and you go missing. Would your friends consider if you were worth finding, asking if you were thin enough, popular enough, etc.? If this is true in the physical world, this is true on all levels. Even if you have a million likes or followers, it does not alter your worthiness. If you can accept this as a fact and don’t question it, you will know that you are worthy. 
  • Most people spend too long reaching out to people because of fear of rejection. Often it means it’s just not the right fit or the right time. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. Most people give up after the 2nd or 3rd follow-up. If you keep going, people eventually cave. A confident person is simply willing to be rejected, and to them, it’s no big deal. 
  
  

  Lisa Buyer - Social Media Platforms With Traction

  • We had a great chat with Lisa from PR Secrets on using social media for branding and PR purposes. She covers a host of topics such as newsjacking, chatbots, futurists, SEO, visual reporting, podcasting, and what’s new in putting together a press release. 
  • One of the things we discussed was the latest platforms that have traction. For example, if you are featured in a third-party publication, you can take that article and put it on Facebook and run ads to it targeting people who work at other media publications. It’s a win-win, as the journalist is getting more exposure, and you are getting that third-party credibility, so it’s a smart modern day PR strategy. You can target the publication’s following and run $1 a day ads, as taught by Dennis Hu. You can also take that targeting strategy to other platforms. 
  • Tik Tok is the most talked about social media platform lately, and while Lisa...]]>Today marks International Women’s Day, a day dedicated to all the amazing ladies around the world. On this special day, we’d like to pay tribute to the badass women who we have had the pleasure to have as guests on the show during 2020.

    • Molly Mahoney of The PrePared Performer, is legendary for her Facebook marketing skills. She’s a wizard at doing Facebook lives and getting organic reach. We chatted all about how Molly is able to get high ticket coaching clients, right from Facebook, how to grow Facebook groups, and how to get interaction on Facebook pages with her four-step process.
    • We loved her advice in regards to getting more engagement on Facebook. She tells us that the rules have changed for bots and there are four types of messages, one of them being a confirmed event reminder. When they comment on the post, they confirm to the bot they want to be reminded of more information. Another way to use this is that when they say yes, you ask them if they want to be reminded about all of your content coming out.  Once they confirm, you want to make sure that button opens up to another piece of the conversation so you are engaging in another conversation within that 24 hours. 
    • Another strategy is the “Unlock and Share Button”, so when they are in your bot after they get the show notes or whatever it is that you are giving, send another message a minute later that says you have a bonus gift they can get if they share your video, and if they want to access, just click here to unlock and share the video. 
    
    

    Lisa Cherney - The More You GFR, The More Impact (And Money) You Will Make

    • Lisa Cherney, now known as The Queen of Clarity, is the host of the ground-breaking confession-based GFR Podcast show for successful soulful entrepreneurs and founder of the GFR Squad, a lively community that is serious about embracing the GFR lifestyle and living a life without regrets.
    • One of her GFR commandments is “Don’t worry about being normal” and the confession is “Where are you not speaking your truth?” That’s where the juice is, determining what is your soapbox. If you weren’t worrying about offending anyone or breaking any laws, what would you want to say? People are too concerned about what strategy they are going to use, but eventually, the strategy will emerge.
    • The more you get real, the more impact you will make. So the first thing is to determine if you are ready. If you’ll do all the strategies and make the investment, this is where to go next. If you are ready, choose the confession question that hits you in the gut and go from there. Just pick the one question, take some time with it, and it will do wonders.
    
    

    Sara Christensen - Defending Your Business

    • Our chat with Sara was really eye-opening as she talks about how one little post sent her world in a spiral, leading to an all-out war waged on her business, thousands of hateful messages, and even death threats. You want to be extra careful what you are putting out there and what you are involved in. If you don’t already have procedures in place of your social media and email communications, you should make sure that whatever you put out in the world is not going to offend or piss someone off.
    • If you are using outside resources for VA’s, you may run a risk. You don’t want someone working on your team, that’s not as invested or doesn’t understand the complications of posting something that might be harmful.
    • Understand the power of social media which is so amazing yet also be weaponized against you. Be mindful to use it as a building block for your business. Consider if there other ways to diversify where your clients are coming from. Ask yourself, “What if your social media channels got taken away today - what other plans do you have in place?”
    
    

    Ilana Wechsler - In-Market Audience Targeting 

    • We also chatted with Ilana Wechsler of Green Arrow Digital, who is a former data analyst, turned Pay Per Click marketing expert. She detailed her paid ad puzzle technique and how to make the different pieces of your marketing puzzle work together. 
    • Google is shifting away from the concept of targeting content science to targeting more in regards to who you are as a person, which is like identity-based targeting. One of the ways they are doing this is with in-market audiences, which is very short-term intent-based searching. So you can match your Facebook targeting to Google’s in-market audiences. For example, consider if you are suddenly in the market to buy a car, where you don’t normally search online for car information. Then there are what’s called affinity audiences which is your long-term behavior or things you are looking at online often.
    • So basically you're starting with the people that are already going to your website and looking at who they are and what their actions are, and then slowly expanding out more and more as you get additional data on who these people are that are already coming to your site. If you find those audiences work, especially on the Google side of things, you can apply that in-market audience to your search quadrant and also to the YouTube quadrant. It's a process of systematically building out your puzzle, based on data and if something doesn't work then it doesn't make sense to apply it to a different quadrant.  
    
    

    Susie Moore - Removing Your Blocks

    • We loved chatting with Susie Moore, author of Stop Checking Your Likes as it’s something we’ve all fallen into. One of the things she discussed was how to remove your blocks. First, you need to state as a fact, that you are worthy of receiving. Susie uses the example of being out on a hike with your friends and you go missing. Would your friends consider if you were worth finding, asking if you were thin enough, popular enough, etc.? If this is true in the physical world, this is true on all levels. Even if you have a million likes or followers, it does not alter your worthiness. If you can accept this as a fact and don’t question it, you will know that you are worthy. 
    • Most people spend too long reaching out to people because of fear of rejection. Often it means it’s just not the right fit or the right time. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. Most people give up after the 2nd or 3rd follow-up. If you keep going, people eventually cave. A confident person is simply willing to be rejected, and to them, it’s no big deal. 
    
    

    Lisa Buyer - Social Media Platforms With Traction

    • We had a great chat with Lisa from PR Secrets on using social media for branding and PR purposes. She covers a host of topics such as newsjacking, chatbots, futurists, SEO, visual reporting, podcasting, and what’s new in putting together a press release. 
    • One of the things we discussed was the latest platforms that have traction. For example, if you are featured in a third-party publication, you can take that article and put it on Facebook and run ads to it targeting people who work at other media publications. It’s a win-win, as the journalist is getting more exposure, and you are getting that third-party credibility, so it’s a smart modern day PR strategy. You can target the publication’s following and run $1 a day ads, as taught by Dennis Hu. You can also take that targeting strategy to other platforms. 
    • Tik Tok is the most talked about social media platform lately, and while Lisa doesn't  have any clients where it’s a good match, from a storytelling standpoint it’s entertaining. From a PR perspective, instead of having her clients start an account, they are looking to share content to the influencer’s audience where the influencer would talk about the brand and create content around a theme. One cool thing about Tik Tok is there are so many cool filters and ways to create videos that are very creative, then take those videos and republish it to your main social channels. 
    
    

    Felicia Pagesh - Campaign Tactics 

    • We had a great chat with Felicia Pagesh of Activate Branding, who dove into fun topics such as conversion optimizations, webinars, landing pages, and other useful techie talks. One tip she gave us is that when you are building out your campaign, you should already know what the objections are that people have. That is what’s included in your sales sequence to overcome those objections. Everything in your webinar should also be designed to overcome those objections, so instead of creating separate FAQs as part of your follow-up, you can pop that transcription sequence into your follow-up for anyone who matches the behavior of someone who is interested but hasn’t bought yet. 
    • Also, give people an option to download an mp4 into an mp3 to listen to your webinar. If you have an audible call to action, keep your URL very simple and easy to follow. As long as it’s trackable, it’s worth testing. It doesn't really cost much more time or money to repurpose and it’s like getting free sales.
    
    

    Erin Pheil - Fixing Your Mind

    • Erin Pheil from MindFix Group chatted with us all about fixing your mind and getting past those mental roadblocks that get you stuck. You can deal with perfectionism by being compassionate with yourself. You will be able to clear out that pattern so you don’t have to deal with it on a constant basis. A pattern can be emotional or behavioral. For example, we may be triggered into getting angry when someone gives us feedback or we may get anxious whenever we are on camera.
    • Other people may have behavioral patterns like every time it’s time to talk about money, you change the subject. We have these different behaviors and emotions we get stuck in over and over, and if you can identify the pattern, you can work backward and clear it out once you know what it is and what you want to change. Once you do that, it clears up so much energy, space, and time in your life.
    • At the core, humans behave according to what they believe to be true. So if you are walking down the street and see a cat and you believe they are dangerous, you will avoid it. But if you believe cats are awesome, you’ll go over to pet it. When you have a pattern, you take a fundamental truth that humans act based on what they believe to be true. If you're acting or experiencing feelings in a certain way, you believe something that's keeping you looped in there. 
    
    

    Gabby Bernstein - How To Detach

    • We chatted with Gabby Bernstein, author of Super Attractor who gave us some very practical tools to work through some tough stuff that we are all going through in our personal lives. She also talked about what she refers to as her “Rage on the Page” method and the benefits of listening to a specific playlist while writing.
    • Gabby has been practicing with a method based on Dr. John Sarno’s work, who was known for healing back pain, and whose work was based on the fact that our physical pain is a manifestation of our impermissible rage and there is a mind-body prescription to heal that. Gabby has renamed a similar prescription given to her by a friend that deals with journaling, calling it “rage on the page”. 
    • The basis of this is that you journal about the rage for 20 minutes. Even if you don’t think you have rage, it could be as simple as thinking “Why did I eat that bad thing this morning?” Next, meditate for 20 minutes. Gabby also puts on bi-lateral music. She practices a therapeutic method called EMDR, and this is similar to stimulating to each side of the brain. When you start to stimulate the bilateral brain functioning, it allows the resource part of your brain to access some of the information stored hidden and in many ways to see. It allows your brain to unpack what has been hidden. 
    
    

    Kim Krause Schwalm - Copywriter Hiring Tips

    • Kim Krause Schwalm joined us on the show and gave us a boatload of awesome strategies and insight from her long copywriting career. When hiring a copywriter, look at their writing and their portfolio and see if they are passionate, curious, and put hard work into the promo. If you are not well versed in copywriters and are reading a sample and you can see if the headline grabs you (read it at night when you are tired) and makes you want to read further.  
    • Sometimes it’s hard to write your own copy and one thing you can do is to ask someone to give you a critique. If you like what they say, maybe that’s the person you want to hire. That’s one way to see how they work as well.
    • As for communication falling off, the question is how are you paying them? Sometimes if you go back and forth on price, then you probably don’t want to work with them. It often comes down to whether you are getting what you pay for, and you still want to make sure you are getting a good value as it can be a big investment. Have a fair deal and pay them 25-50% upfront. You could have a phase where you have different steps that allow you to move along to minimize some of the risks, plus they will have some built-in milestones they have to meet. Most professional copywriters will agree to a schedule upfront so everyone is on the same page. 
    
    

    Laura Gale - Getting Your Book Published

    • Laura Gale, author, and fellow podcaster joined to talk all about the step-by-step method she uses to guide people to finally get that book published. People discount their own stories as not being compelling all the time. There’s a lot of interesting things in the day-to-day to give people a peek behind the scenes. If you can pinpoint something to one specific moment where something surprised you, or it was unexpected, then those are the moments that are really interesting. Story structure has become a bit of an obsession and people are overthinking it. While the hero’s journey is great, it can take a lot out of it and not every story is going to fit that structure. The more you can rely on emotion and specific moments, the stronger your story will be.
    • For a long time ghostwriting was seen as cheating, but if you are an entrepreneur you want to have other people taking care of the stuff you are not best at, and writing is a skill that takes a lot of time to get good at. The idea that it’s not really your book if you didn’t write it yourself doesn’t ring true. When Laura puts it together, it’s all their voice and all of the material and style is generated by the client. She is more of a vessel to get that story published. Most celebrities who have ever written a book are almost always ghostwritten. 
    
    

    Melanie Benson - How To Spice Up Your Topic If It Is Less Than Exciting

    • On our episode with Melanie Benson, she gave us some great tips on how to follow the ‘golden thread’ to pull the right audience into your world, what to do if you are just starting out in your podcasting journey and how to define your audience and make sure they are a good fit for your business. One way is to think of a formula that connects back to your work (not the Smart Goal formula which is way overused). Melanie created a formula called the ROCS Method:
    • • R - Relevant
      • O - Outcome Driven
      • C - Credibility Boosting - people often miss this but try to include it in your intro. Talk about case studies or client successes so people pay attention. Keep it natural, don’t be a name-dropper.
      • S - Specific, find a way to put specificity in it, i.e. can you do it in 90 days? Is it a 4 part formula?
      
      
    • If your message isn’t converting, chances are something in this formula is wrong.

      ]]>Welcome back to another Therapy session! We are psyched to talk about some recent changes that have come about and how our perspectives have changed. We have a new brand that we are launching which will really open up our business, and are super excited to share it with you. We’re going to give you a little history of how PodHacker came about, some of the iterations, how we are doing this launch which we are approaching from a completely different angle, as well the lessons we are teaching in our membership, a look inside, and our goals for the future with this new brand.

      With PodHacker, you will be able to see behind the curtains of our business, how we get our equity deals, grow a community, monetize the show, connect with big influencers, as well as a host of other tactics. We also plan on bringing in amazing guests on a monthly basis, who are the best of the best and will present high-level content to our members.  When you’re done, be sure to check out our conversations with Chris Benetti and James Schramko, two of our awesome friends who also chat about the beauty of membership sites.

       

      “The idea behind it was, if we can make as much money as we can make for the whole year in Q1, then in Q2, Q3 and Q4 we get to purely focus on value and doing what’s right by our customers.” - Matt Wolfe

      “We’re already curating the best of the best for the Hustle and Flowchart podcast, why not go deeper with them in some model, that’s higher touch and higher engagement.“ - Joe Fier

       

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Just how many people mispronounce our names? 
      • Famous people Joe is related to and should he change his name? (send your thoughts to info@evergreenprofits.com)
      • Our shortest podcast ever!
      • What happened in Matt’s spa….
      • How our vision came to be
      • How you can see behind the curtains of our business
      • What we are reading, playing, and watching right now
      • The latest tools we are using and love
      • Why Matt’s house doesn’t have a roof!
      • A ninja tactic on how to get some insta-love and a conversation with someone you want to connect with

Eric has an agency, Single Grain who works with major companies such as Amazon and Airbnb, and Uber. He also has a content intelligence software called ClickFlow which basically makes you look like a genius. He’s a partner and co-host with Neil Patel in the Marketing School podcast as well as his own podcast called Leveling Up. The dude is a rockstar in marketing, SaaS, and software and he blew us away in this episode.

      And to top it off, he has a book coming out called Leveling Up as well, and it’s all about how to level up in life and how he’s taken his experience from gaming and even poker and has been able to apply these to business and identify these power-ups and moments in time where he realizes he can think differently which allows him to wake up each day and feel like he’s playing a game in real life. We also broke down a ton of traffic strategies, and how you can think differently on how to acquire SEO traffic in a creative way. When you have finished listening, check out our previous chats with Christopher Gimmer and Stephan Spencer for more tactics on how to go off-brand and increase traffic as well as how to succeed with 100% SEO marketing. 

      “I don’t think that I know too much and that I’m that good and I also don’t think I’m that bad either. That’s the way I approach it and it makes it a lot easier because it keeps me humble and even-keeled. The moment you start to think you are amazing, the moment you start to become too full of yourself - that’s when things start to fall apart.” - Eric Siu

       

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to approach things with a beginner’s mind
      • The power of the podcast once again and how’s it’s lead to great, free education, lifelong friendships, and networking with amazing people
      • Why you don’t want to jump the gun and insist your child stop playing all those video games
      • How being persistent led from a fledgling podcast to a successful marketing agency
      • Why Eric’s agency switched their focus and how they are succeeding current day
      • Lessons learned from the poker table
      • How to reframe things to increase your power

He focuses on four core pillars: branding, community, storytelling, and content marketing. In this episode, we do a deep dive into all four of those. After founding WP Curve, which was subsequently sold to GoDaddy, Dan started a new venture, Black Hops Brewing in Australia. You’ll hear Dan discuss how he has created one of the biggest and well-known brands in his country (voted the #1`craft brewery in Australia), all with basically no ad spend. 

      There’s a similar thread in the way he’s marketed both his WP Curve brand and his craft beer brand, and it all comes down to his concept of Compound Marketing, which is also the basis behind his new book. When you’re done, check out our conversation with Lisa Cherney for more content strategies and how to be real to your audience even if that means being putting off others, and get some advice from Anthony Constantino, who also runs a super fun company that really resonates with his customers.

      “It helps to take this approach where you’ve got these things compounding behind the scenes without you necessarily having to do a whole lot. I see our competitors buying billboards and doing paid ads and I’m glad we don’t have to do all that.” - Dan Norris

       

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Taking a bath in beer? (it does wonders for your hair)
      • How to promote a unique beer so that it sells out
      • Why too much advertising can actually a bad thing
      • Drink Dan’s brew and tag us and Dan!
      • Putting together a good story for your brand
      • Why Dan gets so much traction with basically no ad spend
      • Giving up all the information for free!
      • Thinking about collaborations? You’ll wish you’d done it sooner after listening after this
      • Power and momentum behind the flywheel 
      • Creating a powerful brand even before the brewery was even opened

We talk about her goals of retiring early and she dissects her entire business model as she’s an open book. Julie’s business model is so tactical and you’ll be able to take her way of thinking and apply even parts of it to your own business. She just wants to make sure she is showing up on Google without worrying about Facebook ads or even email lists. She’s just sticking to keeping it lean, mean and profitable. 

      Julie has a small portfolio of these sites, which are doing great, and it’s really smart how diversified she is. She discusses how she manages the content, the three most important things to have dialed in on your site, what type of time frame you should look at, how she gets her sites ranks, what to do to get backlinks, as well as how to approach affiliate offers and how to get a higher commission right off the bat. Once you’re done listening, be sure to check out our chats we mentioned with Nate Broughton and Matt Diggity.

      “Google is able to understand language at this point, so if you answer the question in a sentence format, they are able to better understand.” - Julie Adams

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Julie’s relatively small portfolio of affiliate sites that will bring her enough money to retire in style
      • Whether you should buy a older domain or a new fresh one to start off
      • The three most important things that no one should overlook
      • When you can expect to get out of the sandbox
      • How to increase your commission potential right off the bat
      • Why being a little less introverted will go a long way
      • The no brainer way to get backlinks that are quality
      • Julie’s rule of thumb when hiring content writers
      • Keyword research tactics and which sites to compare

This is the first time that he feels with 100% certainty that it’s a seller’s as of the recording of this show. There are so many opportunities now for sellers and a lot of folks have content or media sites, but they may not want to do with them necessarily. On today’s show, we dive into all the possibilities behind both selling and buying businesses, which is the better course of action based on your abilities, why you want to set up your site to be more like a magazine as opposed to a brochure, and what you can expect for a return.

       

      We also talk about various ways to make your site even more attractive to potential buyers, how to rise above the majority of the other affiliate marketing sites out there, and what you need at a minimum level in order to put your site up for sale. When you’re done listening, be sure to check out our previous chat with Greg and our episode with Sergei & Vadim Revzin where they discuss what other things to have in place if you are thinking of starting a business to sell down the road. 

       

      “The market is so flushed with cash, there are so many people getting into the space, multiples are being driven up. It’s a great time to be a seller.” - Greg Elfrink

       

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Why media empires are so valuable right now
      • How to proceed, if you are starting out
      • Why selling a site that has problems with Google may be a good thing
      • Thinking about buying a “smelly site”? It’s not a bad idea!
      • You never want to sell your site based off this one important thing
      • The power of content that a lot of marketers do not understand

      ]]>Greg Elfrink is back for another round and he’s been working at Empire Flippers for several years now. This is the first time that he feels with 100% certainty that it’s a seller’s as of the recording of this show. There are so many opportunities now for sellers and a lot of folks have content or media sites, but they may not want to do with them necessarily. On today’s show, we dive into all the possibilities behind both selling and buying businesses, which is the better course of action based on your abilities, why you want to set up your site to be more like a magazine as opposed to a brochure, and what you can expect for a return.

       

      We also talk about various ways to make your site even more attractive to potential buyers, how to rise above the majority of the other affiliate marketing sites out there, and what you need at a minimum level in order to put your site up for sale. When you’re done listening, be sure to check out our previous chat with Greg and our episode with Sergei & Vadim Revzin where they discuss what other things to have in place if you are thinking of starting a business to sell down the road. 

       

      “The market is so flushed with cash, there are so many people getting into the space, multiples are being driven up. It’s a great time to be a seller.” - Greg Elfrink

       

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Why media empires are so valuable right now
      • How to proceed, if you are starting out
      • Why selling a site that has problems with Google may be a good thing
      • Thinking about buying a “smelly site”? It’s not a bad idea!
      • You never want to sell your site based off this one important thing
      • The power of content that a lot of marketers do not understand

Listen in as you’ll hear all about her paid challenges she holds where she’s walking people through these bite-sized chunks of content that leads them to a graduation event, which turns into a high ticket paid offer. If you are curious as to how the challenge model works, she breaks it all down here and you can see how a product can be sold at a low ticket price, but then how that turns into a high ticket offer. 

      We also chat about what she uses for her frameworks in her storytelling, how she uses proprietary ideas to build her following and keep people tuned in to the end, even creating super fans that sign up for the challenge again and again. There are a lot of strategies packed into this one, and after you’ve listened check out our previous shows with Pat Flynn and Gideon Shalwick for more insights on how to build super fans and using video for your content. 

      “You have to bring your audience on the journey, even when it’s hard. When you hit rock bottom, that’s when they need to see you the most because when you are on your up they are going to be cheering you on and say ‘I got to witness that and be a part of that’, and that’s going to create your relationship which is going to lead to your sales.” - Marley Jaxx

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Why you need to “Stop The Pop!”
      • How to set up your proprietary mechanism in your challenge
      • How to space out your content into bite-sized chunks and save the best for the last
      • Knowing your value ladder before you even start
      • Who is Elsa and why we are talking so much about her?
      • More insights into the Clubhouse app!
      • How to get people to stick with your challenge to the end

These books cover the basics of how to design your company so that it can be sold in the future, generating revenue from your business, and how to finally make that exit happen. During our chat today, we talked about how to set up your business, why you want to have recurring payments as opposed to a lifetime offer, and how to build a business to potentially scale and exit if it’s built on the back of an influencer or personal brands. 

      We cover a lot of ground in this episode and this is a great conversation for our listeners as a lot of folks are building fan bases, thinking about the marketing side of it, and building traffic to them. This is a great conversation to consider what makes up the value of your business, regardless of whether you are going to sell or not. When you’re done get some more advice about selling and acquiring businesses from our conversations with Carl Allen and Dan & Joe Kalis.

      “You should focus on branding products in your overall business. So there’s this concept of service providers, coaches and consultants productizing, and it’s the process of making your service look like a thing, ideally making it run as its own entity on an automatic or recurring revenue cycle.” - John Warrillow

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Who else wants a “sailboat business”? (putting your feet up while enjoying the view and people are sending you checks)
      • Dissecting how Elon Musk runs his business
      • Best tactics if you are a digital marketer
      • Building a brand into your business so you can eventually walk away
      • What’s a trojan horse got to do with your marketing?
      • Subscriptions models vs. launch models
      • The biggest mistake people make when trying to build a recurring business model and how to get around that
      • Why having a monthly payment model beats the one time, lifetime payment
      • How to deal with subscription fatigue

We go very deep as always, as he lists out all these amazing tools and principles, such as the Hawthorne Effect, the Getting Things Done principle, the 80/20 rule, the Vital Three, and many more. Then, because he’s read so many books, he’s distilling information from these foundational books and wraps them up into a process that you can apply to your business and your life.

      The goal here is to double your income to yourself while also doubling your time off. Even though this is counter-intuitive, the more you contain your work time, and plan for trips and/or fun stuff, that’s going to allow you to focus on the core things you need to get done to achieve what you want to achieve. We cover six specific principles in this episode that you can apply, and you’ll see how when you tie them all together, it’s both possible and something special. After you’ve listened, be sure to check out our conversations with Dr. Steve Ruden and David Allen for more information on havening and how to change your habits to get things done.

      “That’s one of the tricks and how we do that is when the only thing on your mind is the only thing on your mind, and you are aware of that, then time slows down.” - Marx Acosta-Rubio

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to slow the day time so you can put a week’s worth of experiences in a day
      • Wise lessons from Bruce Lee
      • The 3 laws that need to be invoked to really move the needle
      • How to get yourself out of your business plateau
      • The Power of Three
      • A walkthrough of Marx’ day and the keys elements to starting off your morning right 
      • The $1,000 a day question we ask

He and his partner, Shawn Twing join us today, and in the first part of this episode, we talk a lot about their concepts of emergent marketing and the durable business model, which has specific elements to it, that they teach. This includes things like how to get customers and when to give value for free as opposed to when to charge. 

       

      We also couldn’t pass up the opportunity to talk about how to do email marketing better, how to tell better stories in your marketing, how to improve your email writing and how to do segmentation. We get in the weeds and talk about the tactical elements of what makes everything they are doing work well. When you’re done, check out our talks with Sue Rice and Travis Ketchum to round out your email marketing knowledge.

       

      “Marketing is a long game, and most people buy between months four and eighteen. Once you know that, you re-engineer your thinking for the long game. ” - Shawn Twing

       

      “That creates an interesting dynamic where we are always sharing our best thinking with them, and as a result, stuff happens. So we are always doing this with the audience and they are always part of this journey with us.” - André Chaperon

       

      Some Topics We Discussed Include André Chaperon &  Shawn Twing:

      • The three components under emergent marketing
      • Playing the long term game and not selling to your audience until much later down the road
      • A cool story about writers, and chats about emojis and selfies
      • How to be the person who stands out in the room
      • Lessons from their Black Friday promotion which you can implicate any time of the year
      • Bringing your customers alongside your journey every step of the way
      • Email segmentation tactics - you know you need to do this with your list
      • The balance between descriptive and prescriptive course work
      • What do Kevin Costner and Leonard DaVinci have to do with great storytelling?

This tool is quickly becoming one of our favorite pieces of software to do a lot of research. It helps us figure out what content to create around specific topics, what topics resonate around audiences, and you can literally plug in your URL or social media channel and it will kick out all this research from a variety of platforms.   

      If you are running ads, you are probably noticing lately higher costs, fewer options, and lower conversions. We break a lot of that down from Rand’s perspective and you’ll see why it’s important to diversify from Facebook and Google if you are solely relying on those platforms. You’ll also hear us talk about what’s in store for the future with the way Google presents search results, and what you should be doing to rely less on links while building up your brand. After you listen, get some more advertising tips with Curt Maly and Tom Breeze. 

      “The primary goal is to get people to your website and your email list because that’s the one channel you always get to own and control.” - Rand Fishkin

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Perspectives on the zero clicks search problem 
      • Checking out the Crack Shack (it’s not what you think!)
      • How to get honed in on a specific audience that will convert better
      • What do cookies and strange pajamas have to do with advertising?
      • Why getting people to like and share should be your secondary goal
      • From chicken sandwiches in your email to ground beef in your advertising to al dente pasta on Youtube, we got you covered!
      • Which ad networks are lacking in quality and which ones you should be using

We like her approach because it doesn’t take a huge budget to make it happen, and she gives some great targets and metrics to look out for with your campaign. Salome also talks about the concept of getting engagement and why you don’t need to run ads with a call to action every single time. Even with your existing audience, you probably don’t need to be running ads to constantly telling them to do something and screaming for their attention. 

       

      We also talk about the top of funnel and we’ve never used ads in the flow that she talks about, but she broke down some cool things that we plan on testing. She also talks about the distinction between landing view pages and clicks. That’s why we love her approach which is to just give them something to love and/or laugh at. We also talk about front-loading your ad accounts in Facebook’s eye which ultimately leads to a better algorithm and lower ad costs in the end. When you are done, be sure to check out our chats with Ryan Levesque where he goes into depth about using quiz funnels for your Facebook ads and as well as our show with Curt Maly for more strategies on how to grow your brand without breaking the bank.

       

      “The first clue as to what is good engagement content is to look at what has done well on your social feeds, look at what people have already connected with, what’s gotten people to comment, share and what is already triggering an emotion for people.” - Salome Schillack

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Who knew that Joey from Friends had a social media strategy? 
      • Facebook ad account secrets? Shhhhh
      • What to do if you have no audience yet and want to run your first Facebook ad
      • How to revive an older Facebook or Instagram account whose engagement has dropped
      • How to use quizzes in your funnels
      • Growing your podcast audience with Facebook ads
      • The sweet spot for ad costs 
      • Examples of ad content to use for multiple purposes
      • Facebook quizzes that are tanking? Are you running one of these? 
      • Getting the basics done first before you get into the fancy tactics

Pat also discusses how he has been able to build a successful building with a great, appreciative audience without the need to run a ton of ads and self-admittedly not having the best SEO on his website as well.

      We also talk to Pat about how he got involved in some of the deals he has equity in. He’s not just an affiliate for products such as ConvertKit, Lead Pages, Teachable and Samcart, he’s also an advisor and gets some sort of revenue share. So we dive into how he has been able to leverage his podcast to then get involved in these equity and advisory deals. When you have listened, be sure to check out our previous chat with Pat and our conversation with Lisa Cherney for more insight on how to give insane value while being real to your audience.

      “With affiliate marketing, it’s the easiest way of starting to generate an income because these products already exist, people out there are already buying them, you just have to be the person that people trust to make that recommendation to them.” - Pat Flynn

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • “Fannels” and how to ramp yours up (and no, we are not talking about soft pajamas!)
      • The amazing result you can get in under three years which will set you up for success
      • How Pat pivoted during the last time we had an economic downturn which changed his life forever
      • How to get great fan engagement and healthier all at once!
      • Tactics for when you are first starting out with affiliate marketing
      • How to stay passionate about the same topic for years

Rob Balasabas is a Brand Evangelist and Partnership Manager for TubeBuddy and today we are chatting about such things as how to approach YouTube as co-creators, how to use TubeBuddy to analyze your channel as well as best practices for the all-important thumbnail. We have been using TubeBuddy ourselves and it’s a rock-solid tool to help you grow your YouTube channel.

       

      Rob even talks about how he was able to grow his own personal channel and tips that you can use if you have a new channel yourself.

Lee, who runs a new venture called Standout Authority. He has a lot of experience and knows what to do with traffic having done this for legends in the marketing space for years. On today’s show, we are chatting about how to get engagement on LinkedIn and get real people to listen to you. We are diving back into LinkedIn lately ourselves, and on this show, you’ll hear why that is, and get some real a-ha moments as we did. Even if LinkedIn isn’t your jam, Joshua talks about the human algorithm and how he connects with folks in a unique way. He has a strategy to get into their world and figure out ways to collaborate or get them as a client, so it’s definitely applicable everywhere. 

      The dopamine hit is that initial conversation, and your value isn’t in likes but is in having a good conversation with people. Josh has definitely been on the other side as well, and we chat about how to really connect on LinkedIn without the dumpster fire full of spam. Plus, if you have an older account you don’t have to start over, and we talk about ways you can revitalize it. When you’re done be sure to check out our conversations with Will Wang and Josh Turner for more insight into how to leverage LinkedIn to improve your business relationships, how to grow a following organically, and how to use LinkedIn groups. 

      “There’s no B2B or B2C, there’s only H2H - Human to Human.” - Joshua B. Lee

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Avoid doing these specific things on LinkedIn, especially if you do not want to be banned 
      • The 10/20/70 content rule
      • What your SSI score is on LinkedIn and how to improve it
      • Why you want to include your job from high school on your profile
      • How Josh was able to close a multi-million dollar deal with the help of Sales Navigator

He has a lot of experience and knows what to do with traffic having done this for legends in the marketing space for years. On today’s show, we are chatting about how to get engagement on LinkedIn and get real people to listen to you. We are diving back into LinkedIn lately ourselves, and on this show, you’ll hear why that is, and get some real a-ha moments as we did. Even if LinkedIn isn’t your jam, Joshua talks about the human algorithm and how he connects with folks in a unique way. He has a strategy to get into their world and figure out ways to collaborate or get them as a client, so it’s definitely applicable everywhere. 

      The dopamine hit is that initial conversation, and your value isn’t in likes but is in having a good conversation with people. Josh has definitely been on the other side as well, and we chat about how to really connect on LinkedIn without the dumpster fire full of spam. Plus, if you have an older account you don’t have to start over, and we talk about ways you can revitalize it. When you’re done be sure to check out our conversations with Will Wang and Josh Turner for more insight into how to leverage LinkedIn to improve your business relationships, how to grow a following organically, and how to use LinkedIn groups.

      • The 10/20/70 content rule

This episode is not just about the tool though, it’s all about the opportunities around you, how to do well as an affiliate, and other awesome concepts you will learn from Jordan Mederich, the man behind DropFunnels, one of the fastest-growing marketing tools on the market today. You’ll hear how he’s doing things differently and has carved his own way of solving a solution that no one else has done. 

      As most of you know, Matt is the go-to guy when it comes to tools, and has tested so many over the years, so when he heard about DropFunnels he set it up on his own site, MattWolfe.com. As far as page builders, it’s been the easiest for dialing in the look you want, from any of the other ones so far. Besides talking about the tool’s features, we talk about affiliate marketing, trends in business, how to scale and do it in an effective way. After the show, make sure to listen to our previous episodes with Taylor Welch and Ryan Levesque, which will give you even more insight on mindset, and how to use funnels to grow your business and use entry-level products in your funnel to drive higher ticket sales.

      “I realized that anyone selling anything, it doesn’t matter if it’s your product or if it’s an affiliate product, often affiliates sell it better than the person itself.” - Jordan Mederich

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Shooting green screen videos in a closet - can you relate?
      • When you realize what you are doing is not the right path for you
      • What do you get when you mix chocolate and broccoli in your business?
      • Keeping up with customer’s requests with lightning speed
      • The real top of funnel that you may not be thinking of
      • The rules of 3’s and 10’s and what to do when you get to $5K a month (which probably is easier than you think)
      • Why you want to think like a bison in a storm
      • The reasons your Facebook ads may be shut down and how to get on Facebook’s good side
      • Why WordPress is vital to your business

We also talk about what to do with older links that are not ranking any longer, how to structure your content using a content silo, Gert’s “ERICA” framework which is the basis of his SEO strategy, and how to look at the whole picture of your site and not just the quality content.

      “Whenever you are on the user’s side on a consistent basis, there’s not much you can do wrong. It can be harder or easier to rank in certain niches and for certain keywords, but if you really try to defend as much as possible the best user experience, you’re in the right place.” - Gert Mellak

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Fundamentals of a good site audit
      • Whether or not to consider using AMP on your site and what to do if you have it and want to switch back
      • How to keep up with the Google penguins and pandas
      • To de-index or not and what to do with your older articles that have lost their ranking ability
      • How to get backlinks from other sites
      • The beauty of the content silo and why your site needs one
      • How to make use of the content explorer from one of our favorite tools: Ahrefs
      • Gert’s E.R.I.C.A. framework of his SEO strategy
      • A super-easy way to learn how to rank that most people are probably not doing

Listen in as they break down their four-step process for financial freedom and each one could be an episode in itself. They talk about getting clarity over your finances, using assessments, how much you should be spending on a monthly basis, then when you reach that goal, reinvesting it in your business. Once you make the money that funds your ideal lifestyle, you can figure out more beneficial ways to use those finances. 

      We also talk about the importance of improving your financial literacy which is super important and about picking your passive income paths, building your opportunity fund, and detailing the lifestyle you want. Russ and Joey also blend their community, podcast, and content which works great and is something we are headed towards ourselves. Stay tuned! If you enjoyed this show and want to learn more about how to make your dollar go further while getting into the correct money mindset, be sure to check out our shows with James Altucher and Mark Joyner.

      “When we get clarity about what we want, then we can move in the right direction. Here’s the thing about entrepreneurs - we are great at making money, but we’re also great at making more jobs for ourselves.” - Russ Morgan

      “What most people do, is they come to us and ask what should they invest in...it doesn’t matter, because what you invest in should line up only with what you want money to do and what you want your life to look like.” - Joey Mure

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • That time when we thought about going into the cattle businesses
      • Why typical financial advisors are not the best for entrepreneurs

So since we are affiliate marketers, today’s show is all about all the affiliate marketing tools that we use in our business when it comes to software, but more importantly how we use them and how they connect with each other. 

      You’ll hear all about the best tools we recommend for email automation, webinars, creating videos, membership, link shorteners, and a whole host of other stuff that we either use now or have used in the past. We also include some cool ways you can put these tools to use as well as how some of our previous guests have insights on these tools as well. After you have listened, be sure to check out some of the episodes we mentioned including our show with Brian Dean where we chat all about SEO and our show with Rob & Kennedy and their tactics with email marketing. 

      “If you can create this perfect journey for your customer, there are tools and if you string up the process, you can make it the most enjoyable journey for someone and they will have so much trust with you, and that’s why they will buy more stuff.” - Joe Fier

      “I almost see tech as a creative pursuit in the sense that I love trying to tie technical tools together in ways that people haven’t tied them. To me, there’s a creative art form about the tech that we do.” - Matt Wolfe

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Why learning and using technology is actually a creative art form 
      • How we are working more strategically so we end up working less time
      • Why using a deadline funnel is the hot sauce to your marketing (put it on everything!)
      • How to optimize articles you already have on your site to boost them up to page one
      • Why we haven’t used Photoshop in over a year, and the easy tool we use instead
      • Tools we have used to double in our opt-in rate
      • How and why you want to create the ultimate customer journey so they will buy from you over and over again
      • And much, much more!

So since we are affiliate marketers, today’s show is all about all the affiliate marketing tools that we use in our business when it comes to software, but more importantly how we use them and how they connect with each other. 

      You’ll hear all about the best tools we recommend for email automation, webinars, creating videos, membership, link shorteners, and a whole host of other stuff that we either use now or have used in the past. We also include some cool ways you can put these tools to use as well as how some of our previous guests have insights on these tools as well. After you have listened, be sure to check out some of the episodes we mentioned including our show with Brian Dean where we chat all about SEO and our show with Rob & Kennedy and their tactics with email marketing. 

      “If you can create this perfect journey for your customer, there are tools and if you string up the process, you can make it the most enjoyable journey for someone and they will have so much trust with you, and that’s why they will buy more stuff.” - Joe Fier

      “I almost see tech as a creative pursuit in the sense that I love trying to tie technical tools together in ways that people haven’t tied them. To me, there’s a creative art form about the tech that we do.” - Matt Wolfe

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Why learning and using technology is actually a creative art form 
      • How we are working more strategically so we end up working less time
      • Why using a deadline funnel is the hot sauce to your marketing (put it on everything!)
      • How to optimize articles you already have on your site to boost them up to page one
      • Why we haven’t used Photoshop in over a year, and the easy tool we use instead
      • Tools we have used to double in our opt-in rate
      • How and why you want to create the ultimate customer journey so they will buy from you over and over again
      • And much, much more!

Jay comes from a publishing background and has worked with some big names such as Mia Hamm and Bill Phillips to help them get their books published. He currently serves as the Vice President of the learning division of Keller-Williams, and today we talk about his perspectives about writing books, course creation, lead generation, time blocking, goal design, and more. 

      Jay also talks about knowledge management, which is a rabbit hole that we’ve been looking into, so the part where he dives into how to consume books and his process of reading and locking in the knowledge was a real win. Plus we talk about how to be well rounded and pulling sources and information from all walks of life, so as not to live in an echo chamber where our learning is stalled. After you’ve listened be sure to check out our previous show with The One Thing’s Geoff Woods for more goal setting tactics and our show with Jeff Spencer where we chat about the roadmap that champions follow and how to find the right goals for you. 

      “When we talk about a process for self-improvement, you have to read, you have to reflect on what you read, and that reflection is where you’re comparing your experience and your beliefs to what this person is telling you. And then you have to codify it in your notebook.” - Jay Papasan

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • What is Matt’s ideal job? (guitarist for a punk rock band? Instructor for a shark cave diving school? tune in to find out!) 
      • How to read with purpose
      • Time blocking to get more done and extra time for the things you love
      • The one most important thing for every business
      • Misconceptions around The One Thing concept
      • When you should be challenging your beliefs
      • Tips on learning that will cut out time-wasters and books you should probably not finish
      • Why you want to read books on finances and money every year, even if you are an English major
      • And much, much more!

He’s a driven and determined entrepreneur, blogger, and athlete and his lifestyle challenges have allowed him to set records and give back by supporting education in communities that are in need of everyday resources like safe school structures. While running his own brand, he’s also running multiple other brands such as a meal plan company, a fitness app, a productivity app, as well as being an advisor to multiple other companies. 

      On today’s show, we talk about how he has built up his brand, how he has collaborated with other folks, and, similar to the way we run our business, how he is able to create opportunities with deal-making, rev shares, and building multiple brands. We also talk about how getting a major accomplishment done, whether it’s completing a marathon or getting your first podcast out there, has led to other potential relationships and future goals. When you’re done getting ideas from Joel, learn additional tips on how to systemize so you can have more time while also standing out and make a difference by checking out our previous episodes with Austin Sams and C.J. Martin.

      “Impossible is not a statement, it’s a challenge. A lot of people think “I can’t do it” but if it seems impossible, that’s the thing you probably should be doing” - Joel Runyon

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • What it’s like to be a bootstrap entrepreneur
      • How to set yourself up for deal flows and equity ownerships
      • Challenging yourself in physical ways to gain perspective for your business challenges
      • How a chance conversation with a stranger in a coffee shop led to an insane amount of traffic - and even a mention on Oprah!
      • The beauty of big world challenges and simultaneously giving back to make a difference
      • How to balance a variety of businesses while traveling the world

We already know the answer, as today’s guests - Rob & Kennedy - already showed us how to read your minds ;) Seriously, you are really going to love today’s show as we chat about how they have built up their email list, segment people so their audience is receiving the right content geared specifically to them, based on what they have already engaged with, and how they use psychological strategies to get build on people’s beliefs.

When you’re done listening, check out some more email strategies from Sue Rice and Tom Kulzer.

      “Lots of people think that email marketing doesn’t work anymore and it’s all about social media, messenger bots, and the next thing that is going to kill email marketing and the truth is for all businesses, email is still the number one converter of sales.” - Rob

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • The Train Carriage framework for bringing your email list along for a ride to check out all you have to offer
      • How to figure out what to write out in your emails
      • Brainstorming together over a few beers leading up to a new software platform
      • How to stop compartmentalizing your skills 
      • Building a technology that understands people’s thought patterns
      • Kennedy tells of a super boring thing that occurred to Rob which turned into an email
      • Why it doesn’t matter as much as what your open rate is, and the one number that does matter

On today’s show, we chat about how Ari has created a completely new sales mindset that overturns the notion of selling as we know it today. He gives us some great examples of how to approach the sales process from the very first touchpoint and why you do not want to rush ahead, say specific things and even worry about building trust from the start as well as how to bridge the sales gap and diffuse resistance.

      Ari’s trust-based selling strategies are a unique, fresh take on how business is done and after listening to our chat, he will be sure to give you a new outlook and mindset about how to sell, without having to compromise your integrity. When you’re done listening, go get some more sales advice from Wes Schaeffer and Felicia Pagesh.

      • How to rethink your sales technique to build trust from the start

We went to the San Diego meeting which brought us into the GKIC world which was the foundation of our marketing education. Bill Glazer, who founded GKIC along with legendary marketer Dan Kennedy joins us on the show today, along with Rob Cuesta, CEO, and Founder of Bright Flame Books. Together they have founded The Outrageous Marketers Alliance. 

      They dive into how to be outrageous in your marketing and break it down into the eight steps to help you stand out from the rest, re-train your brain to look for different methods, and give lots of examples of folks doing just that from their marketing mastermind. You’ll love today’s show as it’s almost a mini-course in outrageous marketing tactics with not only lots of a-ha moments but fun and laughs. And, if this episode resonated with you, check out our conversations with Dean Holland and Greg Rollett where we talk about more unique ways to grow your audience and set yourself apart from the rest.

      “If you’re ever going to work with anyone else in your business, you want to get somebody who also understands marketing, because so many times people don’t understand marketing and your business will go out of business.” - Bill Glazer

      “First we need to talk about what outrageous means is and a lot of people think that it means you’ve got to dress up or you’ve got to do whatever it is but it really means being prepared to do what your competitors won’t do and go where your competitors won’t go.” - Rob Cuesta

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How Bill & Rob held the last live event in the world
      • How to create campaigns that your competitors won’t even think about
      • What happened when Super Mario got in the elevator with a very well known marketer?
      • How to make yourself stand out (it’s simple as changing your attire)
      • What’s very important to take pictures of on your vacation (and it’s not photos of the beach)
      • How to use shock and awe in your campaign
      • What it means to S&D your way to better marketing

We recently put out a survey and today we want to chat about some of the responses, as well as the changes we’re making to our podcast and the business as a result of the survey. We talk about what our listeners say they love and some of the things they would rather see and hear and how this relates to the content we’ll focus on moving ahead. We also discuss how we put our survey together, how we defined our customer avatar, and some folks that are assisting us as we “outsource our thinking”. 

      After you’ve soaked all this in, be sure to check out our shows with Gideon Shalwick and Stephen Esketzis for even more insight on how to scale your business and capture an audience that loves your content.

      “The obvious things people want are tactics. Then the second thing is the strategy. Then we have the mindset that it is like the glue that holds all this stuff together.” - Joe Fier

      “I love the tactical stuff, but what I think has created the results for our business the most and grown our business the most has been getting the mental things in order - overcoming challenges, obstacles, mental money blocks, things like that.” - Matt Wolfe

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • What kinds of podcasts we like to listen to
      • How we created our survey and the questions we asked
      • Discover who our avatar is and how we figured that out

After hearing a quote by Jim Rohn that "you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with" Geoff set out on a mission to surround himself with high-level CEOs and successful entrepreneurs. Fast forward, Geoff went from employee to entrepreneur, launching a company with the co-authors of the best selling book The ONE Thing. This book is one of those reads where you read it once, make some things, and overtime as the changes drift a little bit, then you can re-read this book to reset.

      Geoff dives into how to structure your day in order to get to that ideal 20% of working with your priorities to get 80% of your results. You’ll see how this works as he details an example with Joe, asking specific questions in order to narrow in on that one important thing. We also talk about how to get your team to be aligned with your goals, especially if you are working virtually, how to set your core priorities, and how to figure out what that “first domino” is to make the remainder of your priorities to fall into place easily. If you like some of what Geoff has to say, be sure to check out our conversations with Ken Coleman and Nic Peterson with more insight about taking aligned action to reach your goals faster without sacrificing.

      “I was where a lot of people either have been or are right now, which is life is good and you are lacking fulfillment. I remember feeling like I was destined for more and I know that I’m meant to do bigger things for this world. ” - Geoff Woods

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Time blocking and mind containers to get to peak productivity 
      • This one golden tip to get you to transition away from work easier
      • Going from a full-time job to creating a better life by making a huge impact on the world

      ]]>On today’s show, we are chatting with Geoff Woods who is the Vice President of The ONE Thing and host of The ONE Thing podcast. After hearing a quote by Jim Rohn that "you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with" Geoff set out on a mission to surround himself with high-level CEOs and successful entrepreneurs. Fast forward, Geoff went from employee to entrepreneur, launching a company with the co-authors of the best selling book The ONE Thing. This book is one of those reads where you read it once, make some things, and overtime as the changes drift a little bit, then you can re-read this book to reset.

      Geoff dives into how to structure your day in order to get to that ideal 20% of working with your priorities to get 80% of your results. You’ll see how this works as he details an example with Joe, asking specific questions in order to narrow in on that one important thing. We also talk about how to get your team to be aligned with your goals, especially if you are working virtually, how to set your core priorities, and how to figure out what that “first domino” is to make the remainder of your priorities to fall into place easily. If you like some of what Geoff has to say, be sure to check out our conversations with Ken Coleman and Nic Peterson with more insight about taking aligned action to reach your goals faster without sacrificing.

      “I was where a lot of people either have been or are right now, which is life is good and you are lacking fulfillment. I remember feeling like I was destined for more and I know that I’m meant to do bigger things for this world. ” - Geoff Woods

Today we are talking to Jack Born, the founder of Deadline Funnel which is such an amazing tool. In this episode, one of the things we touch upon is how a lot of people feel weird using countdown timers, and how to get around those feelings, especially if you are a heart-centered marketer. 

      We also chat about how to increase your sales in your business using countdown timers, how to generate an affiliate income, and the psychology behind buying without being sleazy. You’ll love how Jack breaks down how long should you do the countdowns for, when should you re-open after the countdown happened, and if you are an affiliate marketer, how can you use the countdowns in your business. When you are done listening, be sure to check out our conversations with Wilco de Kreij and Drew Burks for more tips on how to grow your subscriber base and use automated webinars in your marketing.

      “It’s very unlikely that you are going to have one front end product where that’s your entire business. Most of our business is built on the idea that once you’ve bought from me, you’re more likely to buy the next product. You certainly don’t want to ruin that relationship by trying to go cheap with your technology stack and essentially lying to your subscribers.” -  Jack Born

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Why are we talking about peeing in the swimming pool?
      • New podcast game - business book bingo
      • How to reconcile any negativity with putting a deadline on digital products

Some of the things we dive into are their whole philosophy behind product creation, and why they create some of the products they create, which gave us a ton of perspective shifts around that topic. We also talk about delegation and how to hire the right people in your business in order to scale as well as their philosophy of having a portfolio of companies and what they do to serve each other. 

      In addition, we had a lot of a-ha moments regarding their ideas regarding their entry-level products and how those work towards negating future objections to the higher-priced products, as well as how to acquire businesses not to necessarily make money but to save money. After you’ve listened, be sure to check out the past shows we’ve done with Mark Joyner and Ryan Moran to give you some additional input on creating a successful business while serving your customers for a win-win relationship.

      “I’m not trying to elicit more desire, I’m trying to mitigate the perceived risk they have in this product, which actually turned out to be a pretty winning style of writing copy.” - Taylor Welch

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to deal with all the objections before people buy and turn them into customers
      • The magic of shifting your thinking by osmosis
      • How to change your questions around tackling problems to create a bigger, successful outcome

We saw Verne speak at Traffic & Conversions about four years ago and knew we had to get him on the show, and here we are! Listen in as we talk about many of the core concepts from Scaling Up and how they relate to today’s environment.

      If you want to scale up in these times right now or even if you want to scale down to become more profitable, Verne gives up the four steps to do that. He also gives us some very actionable, tactical advice on how to connect with influencers and big brands and how to actually get past the gatekeepers to the people that are higher up. He also has a similar concept to our Dream 100 concept which is basically how we got him to be on our show, so it came full circle. If the thought of becoming more efficient so you can get more time back is appealing, check out our shows where we chatted with David Jenyns and Russ Perry for more insight on systemizing your business. 

      “At the end of the day, scaling anything is about making better decisions. And so it's the sum total of the decisions you make good and bad every hour, every day, every year that determine whether you've got the edge.” - Verne Harnish

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • The sweet spot that you want to get to for the number of employees in your business
      • The Four Core Elements of scaling up 
      • The sweatshops of the information age
      • What you never, ever, ever want to do when a potential client emails you a question
      • “Near learning” and the spin of a new venture
      • How Verne got invited to the White House after putting the president’s name on a list
      • Why everyone is pricing wrong and how to fix that
      • The nuances of a good business name
      • Examples of pivoting towards a new group in the same industry during the crisis
      • From mailing books to breaking bread with the most influential people on your list
      • And much, much more!

On today’s show, you’ll hear how he finally ended up in a home as the only black person in an all-white family, and how he overcame his challenges and setting some big goals which led to him being awarded a scholarship to play at the University of Oregon. From there he did some amazing things from playing in the NFL to appearing on the American Ninja Warrior TV show. 

      Anthony had some huge ups and downs (almost going bankrupt after opening up his own gym) and realized that success only happens when who you are to your core, your identity, aligns with your life’s vision. It’s through his own struggles and triumphs that he now coaches others to get through their own identity shift in order to create the life that they deserve. He dives into his methods and the importance of knowing your identity first, even before you work on your mindset. After you have listened, we have some great shows from our vault you should check out, including our show with Christine McDannell and Jon Margalit that deals with mindset, chatting with billionaires, and getting valuable feedback to make better business decisions. 

      “When you put time into something, and it’s no longer something you can do, whether it’s a kid doing to college, leaving the military, someone passing away, the relationship falls apart, whatever it might be...you’ve given it all and you can’t do it anymore, it breaks you and you don’t even know who you are. I didn’t even know who I was without football.” - Anthony Trucks

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • You are the tree, not the fruit - and other wise words 
      • The importance of knowing your identity
      • Shining a light on your dark moments and how one very dark period in Anthony’s life almost pushed him over the edge 
      • How Anthony got onto the Ninja Warrior show and impressed the hosts
      • Matt’s reminisces of being a nervous interviewer way back in the day (hard to believe!)
      • The go-to tool to help you achieve any dream you may have
      • Doing things the H.A.R.D way to reach a whole new level of confidence
      • What do the Mighty Ducks and your journey in the shift have to do with each other?
      • And much, much more!

First, we chat about Alex’s backstory and how he was able to turn his life and business completely around after the housing crisis in 2007. He was able to take his knowledge and create a brand new business helping others get through some very difficult years, and this business gained momentum so quickly that he became a top advisor to government officials while also making it onto the Inc. 500 list a mere four years later. This is a great, timely chat about creating something helpful and important, out of a crisis such as the one we’ve dealt with this year. 

      We also have a great conversation about Alex’s struggles, his successes with a specific kind of therapy, the importance of being vulnerable, and how, if you find yourself judging other people or situations (which of course, we all do from time to time) the best way to turn this around to actually fix how you feel about yourself. Once you’ve listened, be sure to check our shows with Lisa Cherney and Perry Marshall where we talk about how to succeed in today’s challenging climate as well as dealing with self-sabotage.

      “If you're thinking maintain, you're out of the game already. The mantra in a crisis is, ‘I can grow in this crisis, I can succeed in this crisis, I can help people in this crisis, and I can make a huge impact in this crisis.” - Alex Charfen

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • The most important thing to do when the world is in crisis
      • How Alex went from being bankrupt to getting to #21 on the Inc. 500 list only 4 years later
      • The benefits of showing your vulnerable side and exposing your weaknesses
      • The three awakenings of the entrepreneurial type - do you have them?
      • A heartfelt moment with Sean Stephenson
      • The benefits of EMDR which you probably need but never even thought about
      • A simple phrase to remember when you find yourself judging a situation
      • And much, much more!

There’s a lot of talk about what goes on both in goal achievement and what happens after you achieve those goals. The first half of this conversation is all about systemizing, and how to figure out what to systemize, clearing out the bottlenecks in your business, and how to basically back yourself out of your business so that it can run without you. 

      In the second half of our conversation, we discuss what life is like once your business is systemized and how to deal with the new challenges that pop up once you do not need to focus on your business as much. It’s an interesting roadmap for sure, and that’s where we both got lit up, as we talked about the issues that arise about what you do with your life moving ahead. After listening, go check out our conversations with James Altucher and Austin Sams for more insight into how to dial it in to set up your life and your business on your own terms.

      “That was how I built everything...if I could just get the businesses and the income to exceed the expenses, I can pretty much not have to worry about working, and have everything covered.” - Tom Sylvester

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • The blessing and the curse of having a podcast
      • How to own your day so you get the most impactful things done first
      • Why meditating will actually help you get more done
      • How to do a time audit for you and your business to find out where the bottlenecks are
      • The importance of weekly reviews and acknowledging your wins
      • How to revamp your home office to get you more focused and dialed in

Laura Gale, author, and fellow podcaster joins us today to talk all about the step by step method she uses to guide people to finally getting that book published. Whether you are just starting out with a minimal audience or you are an established public authority, there are ways for anyone to get their story out there. 

      You just want to make sure you start the right way and Laura gives us some great advice in regards to what to do before you start, whether working with a ghostwriter is right for you (yes, it probably is), and what really drives reader engagement. After that, there’s the testing process to find just the right cover that speaks to your audience and of course, the marketing so that you will be found and read. You’ll also hear some great ways to get your book discovered that do not take the traditional online advertising route.

      “People forget to take it offline, and still there’s a whole world of media that has nothing to do with the internet. A lot of those platforms are really starved because people have forgotten about them.” - Laura Gale

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • What makes a compelling story  
      • The one thing you need to have dialed in before you even consider starting your book
      • Do self-published books ever make it to the New York Times bestseller list?

      • Associated costs with hiring a publishing company

Jay and Rich go way back, having known each other for close to twenty years. In today’s economy, this will be the most valuable information that any business owner can take and actually use, to make money and turn things.  

      Both Rich and Jay give their insights around a host of opportunities in today’s world to help people and businesses leverage their existing assets in such a way that will benefit them and you as the deal maker. There are also some great examples of folks who knew where to look and find opportunities that others were missing and basically created arbitrage situations that led to passive income for years to come. We know your mind will be reeling with possibilities after listening, and when you are done you will want to listen to our previous episodes where we chatted with Dana Robinson and Markian Sich on how they are able to create passive income as well with real estate investing and online businesses.

      “This is the time where there is so much opportunity, and the reason is there is so much opportunity is because during times of tremendous uncertainty as well as some form of recession, what happens is there are many businesses who are a lot less active than before, and that leaves a lot of their assets dormant...which makes them a lot more receptive to other ideas and possibilities. ” - Rich Schefren

      “Right now there are 5 or 6 windows of screaming opportunities that are starting to close..first one if there will never be a time in the history of entrepreneurship where more business owners and professionals are open to doing deals, collaborating, joint venturing, profit partnering, letting you sell things to their audience....that’s one thing. ” - Jay Abraham

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to think like Tom Sawyer
      • How to see and seize opportunities to be the toll booth/money taker
      • Putting the Pareto principle and Venn diagrams into play
      • Examples of ways to help businesses right now which will benefit you for years to come (even if you do not have any capital to start with)
      • The real reason Jay stopped selling his courses
      • Examples of prosperity pathways and how to identify where opportunities exist
      • And much, much more!

We know your mind will be reeling with possibilities after listening, and when you are done you will want to listen to our previous episodes where we chatted with Dana Robinson and Markian Sich on how they are able to create passive income as well with real estate investing and online businesses.

      “This is the time where there is so much opportunity, and the reason is there is so much opportunity is because during times of tremendous uncertainty as well as some form of recession, what happens is there are many businesses who are a lot less active than before, and that leaves a lot of their assets dormant...which makes them a lot more receptive to other ideas and possibilities. ” - Rich Schefren

      “Right now there are 5 or 6 windows of screaming opportunities that are starting to close..first one if there will never be a time in the history of entrepreneurship where more business owners and professionals are open to doing deals, collaborating, joint venturing, profit partnering, letting you sell things to their audience....that’s one thing. ” - Jay Abraham

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to think like Tom Sawyer
      • How to see and seize opportunities to be the toll booth/money taker
      • Putting the Pareto principle and Venn diagrams into play
      • Examples of ways to help businesses right now which will benefit you for years to come (even if you do not have any capital to start with)
      • The real reason Jay stopped selling his courses
      • Examples of prosperity pathways and how to identify where opportunities exist
      • And much, much more!

As a kid, he had a dream to make it to the Olympics and actually followed it through by making it there as an Olympic cycler. He started training other athletes and has worked with a host of professionals training all sorts of people in mindset such as Lance Armstrong, U2, Dave Asprey, and Tiger Woods among others. 

      Jeff has done the work and has created frameworks for his achievements. He’s literally helped over forty people earn gold medals and on today’s show, he walks us through his goal achievement roadmap. Each step is broken down, and in all the years of working with athletes, Jeff has discovered the cycle that you need to go through when working with champions. So get ready to listen, as this is a good one! After you are done, check out our other shows where we chatted with Dr. Steve Ruden and Marx Acosta-Rubio to get yourself set up for the best possible route to success in all of your goals. 

      “It wasn’t about the technical side of the discipline, that’s what coaches are for. You need someone in your corner that is watching your back, seeing everything that is happening in real-time, to identify the problems you don’t see that you can avoid and the opportunities that you don’t know about that you need to seize to be able to create your best legacy.” - Jeff Spencer

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How Jeff became an Olympic athlete after setting his sights on that goal at the young age of seven
      • The story of a much loved, lost t-shirt and how it was reunited with its owner
      • The importance of ‘gocus’ - and not, it’s something you dip tortilla chips in
      • How to find the right goal for you
      • The details behind the awesome goal achievement roadmap and why you do not want to miss any steps along the way
      • Backstories of how Jeff got to work with folks like Dave Asprey and Lance Armstrong to get their goals achieved

He talks about the basic foundational strategies that he uses in his business (which is also similar to our own business because we’ve modeled what he does), how he has been able to maintain great customer relationships over the years with the same membership site, and his thoughts and ideas on keys to building trust and what to do if you are just starting out.

      Our second guest is Stephen Esketzis who we have modeled as well, with our affiliate blog posts. He was ClickFunnels #1 affiliate for a long time and he’s another one who we had on the show previously. Stephen has some newer updates, tools, and lots of good content marketing affiliate strategies and we also talk about developing some tools for affiliate marketing as well. We also dive into his cool method of using a quiz to create the perfect funnel for your business, and by taking a few extra steps that most marketers do not, has propelled his business by far.

      Affiliate marketing is a topic that is one of the three foundational things we like to chat about, and it’s also a topic that people are looking for with examples on how to do it in their own business. James is building a platform, with a podcast, email lists, and a community, while Steven takes more of the blogging, customer journey, and SEO route. You can combine them and take pieces of each model as we did, which is what our business is about now. After you have listened, be sure to check out our shows with Larry Ludwig and Matt McWilliams for more tips on how to set your affiliate marketing goals right. 

      “When someone already has a database and they already know what products sell, just sticking them in front of their customers on the most highly visited page on their website is a really good idea.” - James Schramko

      “Now more and more people are switching to writing better quality reviews and content because it’s getting more competitive and you need to improve your content game if you want to become a better affiliate. The more value you provide, you get repaid for it in the long run.” - Stephen Esketzis

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Tips if you are just starting out
      • James’ least favorite business and why he’s working his way through it currently
      • How to go above and beyond to stand out beyond the rest of affiliates
      • Why James had a Skype button on his site in the early days
      • How Stephen set up his super cool quiz funnel to get dialed in leads 
      • An idea for an affiliate site that is a lot of work but will lead to great rewards
      • How Stephen basically gets tons of software for free
      • Stephen’s early days of working with ClickFunnels and earning the title of top affiliate
      • And much, much more!

Today we are going to talk about memberships,  some creative ways to increase retention on memberships, why everyone should have a membership. One of the main reasons we are discussing this topic is that we have recently partnered up with Chris on his platform, Members Pro, so in addition to chatting about all the awesome ways to leverage a membership, we also discuss all the cool stuff that Chris is working on with the platform software that he is developing. 

      You are going to love hearing about all the awesome features that are planned and why you should definitely consider using a membership platform to better serve your audience. When you’re done, check out our conversations with Joy Houston and Todd Brown for even more insight on how to make your product appeal to customers and give them the best possible experience along their customer journey. 

      “One of the best things that you can do is connect yourself or align yourself with people who are at higher levels because it's easier to borrow authority than create authority.” - Chris Benetti

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Some outside of the box ways to use membership platforms
      • Why Members Pro is on track to be the best in its class with 12 months, hands down
      • A better way to deliver bonuses to your customers
      • How to get your content migrated over, easy-peasy
      • How Chris got his start and basically fulfilled a need in the marketing space
      • Why Members Pro is set to be the Netflix of marketing membership platforms
      • How to gamify your customer’s journey to make it more fun and engaging
      • The beauty of a vault-style platform for podcasters, YouTubers, and others
      • How to keep your customers so happy they will never ask for a refund
      • And much, much more!

He is passionate about sharing the knowledge he has gained from founding, running, and investing in a number of e-commerce, and physical products businesses. On today’s show we talk about how he’s been able to be super successful in growing revenue for brands, his thoughts on how to properly build a platform to serve your audience without creating a ton of content, and his new three-step product that will get you going in the morning, get rid of afternoon brain fog, then give you the best night’s sleep ever.

      Other fun things we chat about are Ryan’s book, cool documentaries that made an impact, bands to follow, how Ryan was a huge influence in our own business as well as our similar goal over the years to own a major league baseball team. If you love the idea of building a platform or are in the midst of doing so, be sure to listen to our shows with Greg Rollett as well as the show where we dive into our own methods of how we’ve built our audience and platform around our own podcast. 

      “The other thing was getting out of the mentality that you have to grind for money and allowing where you make your money to come from a place of excitement, creativity, and creation for the first time.” - Ryan Moran

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How is our amazing note-taker Sue writing notes when her name comes up during the podcast? (insert Twilight Zone theme song here)
      • Updating the ‘Money Can’t Buy You Happiness’ paradigm
      • Selling stuff vs. hope & dreams
      • Do we really want you to follow spiders?

John has some great out of the box strategies, such as marketing with Yelp, Quora, and all sorts of platforms that no one else is talking about. 

      John has been able to create a badass lifestyle business around affiliate marketing and he shares his story, how he basically got paid to learn ad strategy and how his love for marketing drives him to try all sorts of unique methods that other marketers do not consider but give him stellar results. We also get into the details behind his YouTube strategy and also how he structures his infomercial side of the business to get boatloads of sales to his book and course. If getting ahead in business with a similar strategy speaks to you, look up these episodes with Caitlin Pyle and Amber Spears on how to up your affiliate game.

      “Any way that you can communicate with another person through the internet is a way that you can market products.” - John Crestani

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to get cheap commercial spots on television
      • The satisfaction of bringing the hedgehog along
      • What drives John crazy (hint: it’s something Matt is amazing at)

We dive into his interesting past, how he’s been able to use his method of zero loss aversion to starting a host of various businesses, and how he’s partnered with some brilliant minds to not only better himself, but showcase his improvement to others and turning it into a well-known fitness and nutrition business. 

      He also talks about the gym he started where he went from actually living in the warehouse-like building to transforming it into one of the biggest, highest priced gyms in the area, catering to high-end clients. In addition to all the companies he runs which include a specific type of mastermind, he chats about how he’s able to do it all, setting priorities correctly, and how you too can zone in to reach your goals as quickly as possible. If you like some of what Nic has to say, be sure to check out these past episodes with Dan Kuschell and Marx Acosta-Rubio that really hit home about taking aligned action to become the protagonist in your own life story. 

      “You may have priorities that are diametrically opposed. You have to pick one, then attack the other one. A lot of people want to have as much money right now as possible but they also want to have as many followers as possible, so you have to pick one. Make a bunch of money, then pay for followers or get a bunch of followers then make money from them. You’re not going to go anywhere if you are trying to maximize both at the same time.” - Nic Peterson

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How Nic went from homeless to making $100k with his mastermind
      • Getting out of your slump with projects that don’t excite you
      • Attracting high-end clients by saying the right words
      • From powerlifting to losing weight and the birth of a nutrition company
      • How to set your priorities to determine which one should come first
      • Why not to name the puppy at the shelter - don’t even think about it!
      • The four quadrants of action priority
      • What is base knowledge disconnect and how to avoid it
      • How to reach your goals even faster

This is such a cool site and one that we have referenced quite a few times around SEO. They also have some in-depth tools and reviews, and much like us, they only stand by products and promotions which they have actually used. Mark and his business partner Gael have a similar background to us, have content marketing as the core of what they do, and have been in business together for over ten years.

      Mark dives into their process of getting content created for their blog, their SEO strategy, and even their partnership. They have various authority sites and we break down what their authority sites are, how one sold recently for six figures, and their training on how to create one. Their model is very scalable, and they are sharing it freely on today’s show. Once you have listened, check out our shows with Hani Mourra and Luis Diaz on how to growth hack your content marketing. 

      “You probably can make a course. But building a few videos and calling it a course is about 10-15% of the work. All of the rest comes in with updating it, managing your customers, your community, the sales funnel, the sales cycle, getting new people in the store...all that kind of stuff.” - Mark Webster

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to develop an authority to replace your income from a day job
      • Great tips with YouTube that helped skyrocket engagement
      • Step by step method on how to rank a website
      • Key questions to ask during an interview
      • What makes a really good course creator
      • Behind the scenes with Mark’s team and how he finds the best writers
      • How to source great stock photos (so you won’t get a big bill like we did!)
      • And much, much more!

      ]]>Mark Webster, one of the co-founders of Authority Hacker joins us today all the way from Scotland! This is such a cool site and one that we have referenced quite a few times around SEO. They also have some in-depth tools and reviews, and much like us, they only stand by products and promotions which they have actually used. Mark and his business partner Gael have a similar background to us, have content marketing as the core of what they do, and have been in business together for over ten years.

      Mark dives into their process of getting content created for their blog, their SEO strategy, and even their partnership. They have various authority sites and we break down what their authority sites are, how one sold recently for six figures, and their training on how to create one. Their model is very scalable, and they are sharing it freely on today’s show. Once you have listened, check out our shows with Hani Mourra and Luis Diaz on how to growth hack your content marketing. 

      “You probably can make a course. But building a few videos and calling it a course is about 10-15% of the work. All of the rest comes in with updating it, managing your customers, your community, the sales funnel, the sales cycle, getting new people in the store...all that kind of stuff.” - Mark Webster

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to develop an authority to replace your income from a day job
      • Great tips with YouTube that helped skyrocket engagement
      • Step by step method on how to rank a website
      • Key questions to ask during an interview
      • What makes a really good course creator
      • Behind the scenes with Mark’s team and how he finds the best writers
      • How to source great stock photos (so you won’t get a big bill like we did!)
      • And much, much more!

Most of Steven’s work deals with flow and peak performance as well as converging technologies and futurism. He also does a lot of work with Peter Diamandis and has a new book co-authored with Peter, called The Future Is Faster Than You Think. This book is part of their trilogy of books and will show how you can combine these exponential technologies and systems and stack them. He also dives into why flying cars, blockchain, and other cool things like that are changing at a super rapid pace. We even talk about how this all relates to COVID as well as some actual benefits of the current situation we find ourselves in.  

      This is a fly on the wall conversation talking about futurism, how to get into flow, whether you can get into flow synthetically, and how to change our brain’s default from thinking negatively.  We also discuss your primary and secondary activities, which one you should focus on for fun and for work, plus Steven even told us which country is leading the charge in drone technology (and it’s not from where you think). We know you are going to love this show as much as we did, and when you are done be sure to check out our episodes with Craig Ballantyne and Dave Asprey for more discussion on living a high performing life.

      “When you are talking about peak performance, there’s no such thing as a hack. There’s only one thing - there’s getting your biology to work for you rather than against you.” - Steven Kotler 

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Which country now leads the world in drone technology?
      • What’s cool with COVID
      • The hippie speedball recipe for a quick boost
      • Your primary and secondary activities and which you should use for work
      • Ways to tell if you are in flow
      • What the future holds for the middle class
      • The faster way that we know of, to calm yourself down
      • Everything you ever wanted to learn about rocket science in just one sentence
      • And much, much more!

We dive into David’s history and how he was able to take an idea from a well-known book and have a unique success story with his own similar venture. We also chat all about his methods of systemizing his own businesses over the years, the benefits of bringing systems into a business, how to approach it with a simple checklist if you are just starting out, and how to hire someone to assist you in the process, if need be.

      David also gives us a great backstory of how he got the opportunity to work with a famous author, which in turn led to a boatload of other opportunities, all of which would never have happened if he did not have his own working systems in place. If the thought of becoming more efficient so you can get more time back is appealing, check out our shows where we chatted with Aaron Fletcher and Christine McDannell for more insight on systemizing your business.

      “All the business owners do think that systems are important, it’s just never urgent. The biggest question I always get is ‘Yes, but where do I start? Where’s the system to systemizing my business? What’s the first 10-15 types of systems that I start with?’ It’s those types of questions that I want to address” - David Jenyns

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to define the “Critical Client Flow” for your business
      • A thought process for building systems if you are considering an exit strategy
      • Why sometimes it’s okay to let others in your organization set the tone
      • What happened when David sold Australia’s most loved sporting ground
      • David’s unique twist on podcasting
      • The absolute worst person for creating systems in your business

We are talking about a new endeavor that we are involved in and thought it would be really cool to share, so our listeners can hear what we’ve been up to.  It’s a new entity called Unicorn Equity, and we are working with Roland and Oliver in this new company, who are two of the most brilliant minds we know.

      Roland is a dealmaker extraordinaire, and he’s been doing all these online challenges where people are learning about all the different interesting deal structures he's doing to buy and sell businesses and to get a majority stakeholder ownership of the businesses so he can direct it. Then we have Oliver on the call, who is also a dealmaker plus a tech wizard and has figured out how how to build out this platform. Unicorn Equity gives us the ability to build a long term portfolio of asset companies, that we really like, as affiliate marketers. We don’t have to change anything, we are just earning into a company where we can pick and choose how much cash or how much equity we want to earn per sale. On the other hand, there are SAAS founders and software companies who are looking for marketing help and they’re willing to invest a portion of equity in their ownership of their company in exchange for that with that ownership being deferred into the future.  

      You’re also going to hear about some creative deals that both Roland and Oliver have done as well as an epic challenge that Roland was working on that has gone really well. Plus you’ll hear an update as to what’s ahead for the next Traffic & Conversion Summit. We know you’ll enjoy our previous show with Roland too, where we discussed - ‘How To Scale Your Business By Acquiring Other Businesses’ and ‘A Step-By-Step System to Decide Which Opportunities To Pursue’. 

      “That's been a theme throughout my entrepreneurial career - to focus on subscription products, where you only have to make a sales effort once….then also leverage distribution channels on a success fee basis, only.” - Oliver Schmalholz

      “I drove million roughly $1,300,000 in revenue to that over a six-day period as an affiliate and as the number one affiliate broke records and made several hundred thousand dollars and immediately realized that all I had done was built someone else's brand. While I liked getting the commission money it didn't make sense as a business model for me because I wanted to build wealth and the affiliate model as it is currently engineered is really a short term model.” - Roland Frasier 

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • What to expect at the next Traffic & Conversion Summit later in the year
      • How the four of us got together to bring this to fruition
      • Working with fellow affiliates for the best interest of all, not as competitors
      • Previous deals with Roland and Oliver have worked on
      • Requirements for SAAS companies with Unicorn
      • Diversifying your risk for long term growth and revenue
      • All the benefits of working with high performing marketers that business may have not yet realized
      • Different ways of earning cash as an affiliate with this model
      • How you can be an affiliate too, even if you’ve never sold anything before

We know you’ll enjoy our previous show with Roland too, where we discussed - ‘How To Scale Your Business By Acquiring Other Businesses’ and ‘A Step-By-Step System to Decide Which Opportunities To Pursue’. 

      “That's been a theme throughout my entrepreneurial career - to focus on subscription products, where you only have to make a sales effort once….then also leverage distribution channels on a success fee basis, only.” - Oliver Schmalholz

      “I drove million roughly $1,300,000 in revenue to that over a six-day period as an affiliate and as the number one affiliate broke records and made several hundred thousand dollars and immediately realized that all I had done was built someone else's brand. While I liked getting the commission money it didn't make sense as a business model for me because I wanted to build wealth and the affiliate model as it is currently engineered is really a short term model.” - Roland Frasier 

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • What to expect at the next Traffic & Conversion Summit later in the year
      • How the four of us got together to bring this to fruition
      • Working with fellow affiliates for the best interest of all, not as competitors
      • Previous deals with Roland and Oliver have worked on
      • Requirements for SAAS companies with Unicorn
      • Diversifying your risk for long term growth and revenue
      • All the benefits of working with high performing marketers that business may have not yet realized
      • Different ways of earning cash as an affiliate with this model
      • How you can be an affiliate too, even if you’ve never sold anything before

Literally. John Ruhlin, from Giftology, is on the show today and he is absolutely amazing when it comes to gifting with the right amount of thoughtfulness and meaning. There’s been a paradigm shift in marketing recently, so the idea of gift-giving is very timely and John has a knack for staying top of mind, and growing relationships and referrals all through the art of gift-giving. 

      John works with some big companies and agencies and he discusses his process as to how to figure out what your intention is, what your strategy is, who to send the gift to, and what your budget should be. We go deep into how to pick the right gift, how much money to spend, what to do if you are just starting out and we also talk about how the power of gifting comes back to you as well as how to justify the cost to determine your ROR - return on relationships. We even talk about how to gift better to your spouse or significant other. At the end of the day, John wants people to show gratitude with action and not just lip service as this is something that can generate business and referrals with an impact that can last a long time. After you’ve listened, check out our shows that we recorded with Jordan Harbinger and Omari Broussard for more tips on relationship building and reaching out to the right audience for your business.

      “If you take care of the family in business, everything else takes care of it itself.” - John Ruhlin

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to work with your budget if you are just starting out 
      • Making sure you carve out time for gift giving (pun intended)
      • How John got the attention of Jeffrey Gitomer
      • Lessons learned from your girlfriend’s father
      • How to surprise your wife or significant other with a gift that really makes an impact
      • The 80/20 rule of proper budgeting for your gift-giving
      • Why you want to avoid the “book launch” style of gifts
      • Ideas to make your gifts even more memorable so that their kids will be fighting over it for generations to come
      • And much, much more!

This is a content-packed show where we talk about how cannabis is grown, how much use is possible with this, and how Will is spearheading this entire ripple effect using the cannabis plant. He is probably the most knowledgeable person we've ever talked to on the topic of cannabis and he has a storefront and experience center with massage, acupuncture, and a terpene mood lounge where they can custom curate where the cannabinoids go in the body. They also manufacture in Nevada and have a genetics farm in Oregon where they've developed a catalog of over 500 unique strains.

      Will has literally been studying this stuff for a long time and has connected with investors in Silicon Valley, in order to create an insane amount of patents for the usage of cannabis. He's working with craft beer companies, companies that make jets and batteries as well as some big companies in Canada. We also discuss the impact of farming and folks with PTSD. Will holds the patents on most of these items and he’s thinking five minutes ahead of everyone else. If you've ever been curious about what's capable with cannabis plants, how they're grown, the science behind it, and what they're actually doing in your body when you take them, then there are so many little nuggets of wisdom in this thing. We also talk about how to get rid of the high if you don’t want it anymore, almost instantly. When you are done, be sure to check out our shows with Theo Lucier and Joe Cohen for more insight into biohacking for better health and productivity.

      “I just had this funny intuition that they were somehow going to be important. And it turns out with cannabis, it's a very unique plant in that it’s the most diverse terpene producing plant. So you can have one that smells like citrus, another one that smells like diesel engine and another one for pine.” - Will Kleidon

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How soldiers 100 years ago carried ganja hashish candies in their pockets - on purpose
      • The benefits of flow engagement and how to hack your way into a flow state
      • Terpenes, gamma rays, and endocannabinoid system optimization (trust us - it’s fascinating!)
      • How to determine if you are more effective at producing cannabinoids naturally
      • A look at the history of oxidative stress in society over the years
      • The importance of being intimately interconnected with our ecosystem
      • When cannabis was known as a “treasure herb”
      • Take too much THC? Will has the go-to on how to get you sober in just five minutes
      • Why you definitely want to eat a restaurant with six or fewer menu items
      • How to find your sweet spot and pinpoint an effective dose each day
      • And much, much more!

George has worked with and co-owned so many big brands, such as Adidas and Onit, has been a New York Times best-selling author, and is basically someone who is getting it all done and after listening to this episode you’ll understand why.

      • The four steps of the customer journey

Kim has got an insane track record when it comes to copywriting and beating out a lot of the greats.

      She tells us the story of all the controls that were winning back in the day and how she beat out the best winning sales letter as a junior copywriter and broke the glass ceiling when she became the first female copywriter to ever get a Boardroom control. Even if you have some copywriting experience yourself, you know it’s not that easy to get the right person for the job, especially as sometimes we think no one will write the copy as well as us, especially in our voice. 

      This show changed our thinking regarding hiring a copywriter, especially with the variety of ways to partner with someone who can support you over the long term. As business owners, we have enough things to do, so it makes sense and even though there’s a ton of value in learning copy yourself, it’s probably not always the smartest move to write your own copy for your own products. We will likely bring Kim back for round two, in order to dive into some deeper principles with copywriting skills. She also gave us some amazing resources as well so check it out, and once you’re done be sure to give a listen to our shows with Anik Singal and Justin Goff for more copywriting tactics. 

      “It’s not so much you want to improve your copy, you want to improve your sales results. Whatever it is you are currently using is not getting it done.” - Kim Krause Schwalm

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • What to expect when hiring a copywriter
      • Different ways you can price out the work for a win-win
      • The beauty of some old school marketing techniques
      • Why first is not always best 
      • How to find someone who writes in your voice but still writes to convert
      • What to do when your copywriter falls off the grid

Joey’s business deals with high ticket sales and he’s got a system, processes, and playbooks for everything in the business. At one point, there’s got to be 8-9 of his core processes that you will be able to swipe, and you’re going to learn how to be better at sales, retention, and prospecting no matter what model you are in.

When you are done getting sales ideas from Joey, be sure to check out our shows with Steve Sims and Robert Stanley for additional ideas on how to get noticed and generating more leads for your business.

      “The way I look at pricing is, the bigger the problem you can solve for a very specific type of person, the more you can charge. What comes with expertise is typically money. Get really dialed in who you serve and you will see that you provide a bigger value which will give you more confidence to increase your prices.” - Joey Gilkey

      • How an old lunchbox led to a huge new client
      • The hierarchy of the “Core Four” to get your agency to the highest level possible

When you’re done listening, be sure to check out our other shows with Chris Krimitsos and Susie Moore and we talk more about how to break down barriers that are limiting your potential.

Chris is a fellow podcaster and runs TCR Consulting Agency and on today’s show, he does a deep dive into the conversations he has with his potential clients. He really gets into the mental game of sales and the mindset you need to have to approach it for success. He also shared with us his daily routine and his goal to improve each and every day by 1% as well as how to handle objections. It’s less about scripting and more about how your brain needs to be when entering into the conversation.

      Chris also has a podcast, aptly name the Win-Win Effect and on that show, you will learn sales at a level you most likely have never heard before, without all the questionable methods but selling with a giving, connecting, and problem-solving intention. You will definitely have some mind shifts and a-ha moments about selling while listening in, so check this one out. And once you are done, be sure to check out the show we referred to with Chris Voss (not to be confused with our guest) and with Marshall Sylver for even more success traits for being a great salesperson. 

      “If you are really struggling with your sales, and if you want to experience what it feels like to have zero buyer’s remorse, ask them “What, When, Why, How” questions.” - Chris Ross

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Chris’ method to make himself 1% better on a daily basis
      • The importance of taking notes (and not on your phone)
      • Some great examples of conversations when dealing with objections as well as getting your potential clients into the right frame of mind
      • The international speaker who changed Chris’s life around
      • Starting your day off right, without being overwhelmed by social media, and most importantly, being tied to your phone
      • Examples of how some well-known people learn from their failures and how you can put this same thing into practice to improve
      • How to set up the conversation right from the start to let them know you are working on their behalf
      • Give us a shout at info@evergreenprofits.com if you have an idea for an awesome name we can attribute to all of our awesome listeners (because HustleAndFlowcharters is way too long)

We talked first, about how to get onto the TEDx stage, which Adam knows all too well. We also talk about how to “Awaken Your Alpha” which is the title of Adam’s TEDx talk as well as his book and podcast. Adam’s focus is all about getting the right mindset, confidence, and everything you need to push your life forward.

      With his podcast, he discusses how to get your own TED talks, debunking the process along the way as well as what to do at the talk, how to hone in your message to conform with their time restraints, and what to do once you get the talk. Oftentimes, people don’t do enough to leverage that publicity, so Adam gives us great information on what to do with that talk once you get it. So there’s the mindset stuff plus tactical stuff in this show, a double whammy! After you listen to this episode, be sure to check out our previous shows with Bedros Keuilian and Theo Lucier for even more insights on how to kick ass in life.

      • The new world record Adam plans to beat
      • What the heck is the Dickens process and how it will be super helpful to you
      • The different levels of TED talks and how they are not all the same

      ]]>Adam Lewis Walker is totally in the zone in this interview and if you’ve ever wanted to get your message out into the world via the TED platform or are curious about the behind the scenes action there, listen in. We talked first, about how to get onto the TEDx stage, which Adam knows all too well. We also talk about how to “Awaken Your Alpha” which is the title of Adam’s TEDx talk as well as his book and podcast. Adam’s focus is all about getting the right mindset, confidence, and everything you need to push your life forward.

      With his podcast, he discusses how to get your own TED talks, debunking the process along the way as well as what to do at the talk, how to hone in your message to conform with their time restraints, and what to do once you get the talk. Oftentimes, people don’t do enough to leverage that publicity, so Adam gives us great information on what to do with that talk once you get it. So there’s the mindset stuff plus tactical stuff in this show, a double whammy! After you listen to this episode, be sure to check out our previous shows with Bedros Keuilian and Theo Lucier for even more insights on how to kick ass in life.

He’s got a new software called Groove Pages, which is an online page builder. The cool thing is that as of this recording, he’s giving it away for free! On today’s show, Mike chats with us about the evolution of this software, how it came to be, as well as the story of his past software platforms such as Kartra. He also gave us a video demonstration of Groove Pages, which you can see by checking out the link below, so be sure to check that out.

      While we may have been a little skeptical at the beginning of this conversation, by the end we were totally blown away at the infrastructure behind it. He’s making it awesome for affiliates to promote so you’ll definitely want to listen to this episode and follow along. Once you are done, be sure to check out the previous show we did with Mike as well as our episode where we chatted with Joey Xoto, who shares a similar story about creating a software empire.

      “Page builders, webinars, membership platforms, affiliates, and sales platforms are all technology. You have to ask yourself when you go to buy something that you want to invest in - “Do I want to buy my technology from a marketing company or from a technology company?” - Mike Filsaime

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • The differences between Groove Pages and ClickFunnels
      • The beauty of the “First tag wins” concept
      • All the features of this new platform and what to expect in the months and years to come
      • Why it’s a no brainer to sign up and share with others
      • Breaking down Butterfly Marketing and the method of the viral marketing system 
      • How Mike went from making $9 an hour to meeting his future business partner on a yacht the next year
      • All the tools, tier levels and promotional goodies you will need to set yourself up early in the game
      • A small mistake made on the day of the big launch  
      • And much, much more!

We also discuss her four-step process for optimizing businesses and her corresponding worksheet that Felicia offers, which you can get for free.

      Felicia is so full of ideas she even has a whiteboard on the floor. She is a self-proclaimed ‘hole poker’, looking at things like funnels and seeing where there is room for improvement. After ten+ years of looking at similar things, it’s her superpower to look at a company’s marketing assets and campaigns and zero in on where a major impact can be had as well as offer insight as to how to cover up those keyholes to yield 6-7 figure results. 

      There are only so many ways to build a funnel, and at this point, Felicia has discovered what most of them are, how long someone will view it, and how they will consume the information. If you enjoy listening to Felicia’s tactics, you’ll love even more branding insight from our shows with Billy Gene Shaw and Steven Sashen.

      “You don’t have to create new content, to appeal to people with a new presentation or new concept, what you do is shift your perception around it and realize there are lots of different ways to get that content consumed.” - Felicia Pagesh

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Felicia’s four-step method to streamlining your business
      • The two main things that work like gangbusters for her clients
      • Tips for re-engaging people who have not consumed your entire webinar but have shown interest in your offer
      • Key resources to have while you are building out your campaign
      • Questions to ask yourself before you spend a huge chunk of time building a potential new business

Since we are still in a pandemic during the recording of this show, we are talking about how during this quarantine time, Ryan is taking the time to do all these workshops and challenges to help people in a big way to learn about quiz funnels and actually start creating. Ryan also discusses all the benefits of using a quiz plus a ton of case studies with folks who have had great results. He’s going to walk you behind the psychology of quizzes, how to properly structure it, why a quiz can catch attention, and what happens after they take it. 

      We also talk about the “Why” and the big ideas around how everyone can use these quizzes to ramp up everything in your business. One of Ryan’s own quizzes is adding 50,000 emails to his list every day, and he also will be holding a quiz funnel workshop live on June 15th, 2020.

When you are done, be sure to check out our previous show with Ryan where he goes into more detail if you are just starting out as well as our show with Neil Patel for more strategies on how to grow your brand.

      “You begin by asking them a series of questions to better understand a little bit more about their situation...Instead of selling in a one size fits all way, you’re putting people into buckets. It’s an incredibly effective strategy for a number of reasons.” - Ryan Levesque

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to structure your quiz
      • Examples of businesses that use quizzes the right way (tennis, anyone?)

Lisa is a fellow podcaster, has a PR agency, and is also an author. You can get a free digital version of her book, PR Secrets, which is packed full of content and is basically a PR manual. Listen in as you’ll hear how Lisa discusses how to use social media platforms to get press, and how to use your content to get in front of the right media people and groups. You’ll hear all about Facebook groups, LinkedIn, Twitter, even Tik Tok and how to leverage them to get more media representation for your brand.

      We chat about some of the things she talks about in her book, where she covers a host of topics such as newsjacking, chatbots, futurists, SEO, visual reporting, podcasting, and what’s new in putting together a press release. This is similar to the way we are approaching our business, in outreach with other publications that can help spread our message, but also as helping them in turn. There’s a lot of content that we all create without thinking about, where someone will share that, feature a quote, or perhaps a podcast you've been on. These are all opportunities for you to build up this library and Lisa will explore how to take advantage of that in a clever way.

      ]]>Today we are talking with Lisa Buyer and how she uses public relations and social media to get more PR. Lisa is a fellow podcaster, has a PR agency, and is also an author. You can get a free digital version of her book, PR Secrets, which is packed full of content and is basically a PR manual. Listen in as you’ll hear how Lisa discusses how to use social media platforms to get press, and how to use your content to get in front of the right media people and groups. You’ll hear all about Facebook groups, LinkedIn, Twitter, even Tik Tok and how to leverage them to get more media representation for your brand.

      We chat about some of the things she talks about in her book, where she covers a host of topics such as newsjacking, chatbots, futurists, SEO, visual reporting, podcasting, and what’s new in putting together a press release. This is similar to the way we are approaching our business, in outreach with other publications that can help spread our message, but also as helping them in turn. There’s a lot of content that we all create without thinking about, where someone will share that, feature a quote, or perhaps a podcast you've been on. These are all opportunities for you to build up this library and Lisa will explore how to take advantage of that in a clever way.

He has amazing energy and ideas and on this show we cover a lot of ground with him. We also held a mastermind at Podfest, and the things Greg talked about there blew everyone’s mind in that room, so we wanted to share that in this show as well.

      Listen in as he explains how he got a partnership deal with Entrepeneur.com and his reality show onto Amazon Prime, and how he was able to make those deals with these high profile companies. He’s giving away amazing resources (one that’s so good you need to listen in to discover). Plus, while his business took a huge hit due to COVID, he reinvented his business model to create a brand new six figure business, all within a week. When you’re done listening, you can learn more about branding strategies from our talks with Steven Sashen and Marshall Wayne.

      “It’s really hard to build an audience and you have to work your tail off...I look at, if I want to build an audience, who already has my audience that I can tap into and add value to in some way.” - Greg Rollett

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • A resource that is so good, we can’t list it here (but listen to the show and you’ll find out what it is!) 
      • Matt reminisces about his very first band (and why they needed to change their name)
      • How Greg is documentoring his tribe (yes, we created a new word)
      • How to partner with the big brands - Amazon, Entrepreneur.com, and others
      • Why mailing people stuff really helps you stand out (just like our newsletter that you can get in the mail!)
      • How to have breakfast with Larry King (which just might lead to a book deal)
      • The right way to crowdfund for projects, whether you are just starting out or if you have an existing audience
      • What Greg would do differently now if he was creating video content all over again
      • From one business tanking because of COVID to creating a brand new one all within a week
      • And much, much more!

      “Relationships are the true goal and I think podcasting is one of the great platforms and one of the great ways in which you can actually approach relationship building in this day and age.” - Michael Trainer

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Lessons learned from being a podcaster and connecting with others
      • Tools and tips to boost your immunity and general well being
      • The difference between being at cause and at affect and which one you need to focus on
      • The simple but powerful ways to put your mind on track and let go of things that don’t serve you
      • How Michael is navigating through these uncertain times
      • How Fleetwood Mac and Tom Petty led to the creation of a new business
      • Why you really don’t want that Lamborghini
      • How to get your message past the noise

Mark Joyner is known as the father of internet marketing, having created the first pixel tracking, the first funnel, the first ebook publishing company, and the first one-click upsell. All of these terms we talk about in the internet marketing world were essentially invented by Mark. We are talking today about his roadmap which is all about the future, where technology is headed and how to apply it in your business and prepare yourself for the years ahead.

      There’s value in all of this and this is a layer where most people are not thinking. If you’re curious enough in what’s happening on a deeper level, it’s going to get you thinking in such a way that will only benefit you. So this is your opportunity to get ahead. Make sure you grab Mark’s report as well since, with everything we talked about in this episode, he goes ten times deeper.  When you’re done, be sure to check out our show we recorded with Rich Schefren and Mike Koenigs, on the future of technology and how to keep up with ever-changing trends. 

      “Part of our existence is that life is warfare, so don't feel bad about having to do this as part of the grand design. I love using the military as a metaphor for many things because it is so apt for so many things.” - Mark Joyner

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • From being self-taught with no formal education to getting books published as textbooks
      • How to go down the rabbit hole on a particular topic while not getting misled by the media
      • Who can you really trust when watching the news?
      • What is ‘The Big Five Phenomena’ and why it’s not necessarily a good thing
      • Epistemological illiteracy and how it relates to your beliefs
      • How the rate of paradigm shifts has constantly increased and what you can do to keep up

Susie also runs a media company and has been on Oprah and the Today Show. Listen in as she breaks down all these limiting beliefs that a lot of us carry around unknowingly, and has some very simple ideas on how to deal with that because it’s not serving you. 

      We talk about what it means to “stop checking your likes” as it's something that holds a lot of people back from growing their business since they are scared of what people might think of what they're doing, as the need for approval stops a lot of people from having those necessary conversations. We also touch on some PR strategies and some golden nuggets on how to get in touch with the right people in the media. After the show, make sure to listen to our previous episodes with Kamal Ravikant and Craig Ballantyne, which will give you even more insight on mindset, and how to focus more on yourself while you move towards your goals.

      “Are we giving ourselves credit? Are we giving ourselves compassion? are we allowing things to be easy? I think this is the key to everything becoming far simpler in our lives and allowing us to be more successful” - Susie Moore

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to get over the need for approval from others
      • Why it’s a good thing to admit to not being the expert
      • Ways to step away from constantly needing social media gratification
      • How to find your customer avatar
      • Ways to promote yourself using the power of the media
      • Moving forward in your business via course correction and losing products that don’t serve you 
      • The imposter syndrome concept and how to use it to your advantage
      • How to break down barriers that are limiting your potential
      • And much, much more!

Mike has learned and adapted through the years and there’s a lot of lessons that we walked through in this episode, which we can also apply now.

He is using the same mechanism across the board, and by listening to today’s show, you’ll have the opportunity to get it for free. You’ll also hear us doing this in a role play fashion with a real scenario that we had in our business recently.  

      In this episode, we discuss ways to have difficult conversations with people that we know we need to speak with and how to approach having them, where you may be anxious or worked up about it ahead of time. If you follow this framework, then you really shouldn’t get too worked up, as it becomes a process, not a personal emotional thing. You’ll also realize that we are in our heads a lot, and anxiety pops up as we think of things that we consider to be reality, but this process will help to bring out a logical process where you’ll uncover what to do. It’ll work for your employees, your boss, your spouse, etc. and it’s a process about having tough conversations no matter who you are talking to. If this episode helps in ways to shift your own mindset around dealing with difficult situations, be sure to check out our episodes with Dr. Steve Rudens and David Allen as well.

      “The last 25 years have been about the other stuff. It's about telling the truth….learning to actually like myself more has been the journey.” - David Wood

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to approach conversations you don’t want to have with your spouse, boss, employee, business partner, etc. 
      • How to deal with the “mouse in the room” (and it’s not by getting a cat!)
      • How David helps his clients like themselves so they can love themselves more
      • The tendency to gloss over feeling contracted and how to bring that to light
      • What’s it like running this model in a maximum security prison
      • Lots of examples on what to say when you are trying to begin the conversation
      • Why just filling out the worksheet can reveal some a-ha moments and win over ego
      • How this method works with our own real life example 
      • And much, much more!

Today we have a legend in our marketing space, Russell Brunson. Not only is he well known for his product on how to make a potato gun, but he is also the founder of ClickFunnels. He wrote Expert Secrets, Dotcom Secrets and today we are going to hone in on his latest book, Traffic Secrets.

      What we both love about this new book is it details the paradigm shifts that you need to go through to really understand traffic, and not just the ad networks but the business as a whole. Even though we had a briefer conversation than usual with Russell, this show is densely packed and we really got as much as we could in a shorter window. You’ll get to hear how he was able to get on The Profit show with Marcus Lemonis and you’ll also understand why you should be using these different traffic sources and what their uses are vs. the actual tactics, which you can get in his book, Traffic Secrets. Whether you are a novice or a veteran, we guarantee there are things you probably haven’t even thought about, and we cover this at a high level in today’s show. When you’re done, get some more funnel tactics from our talks with Dave Woodward and Nicholas Kusmich.

      “My goal with this book was to get the whole conversation for all entrepreneurs to think differently about how to get traffic. There are so many ways to get traffic that aren't Facebook. Most are better, and nobody knows about it because they're all just focused on the one simple one that’s easy to do right now.” - Russell Brunson

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • What you can learn from selling a DVD on potato guns
      • Why you want to be the one spending the most to get the customer
      • The Dream 100 concept, how we were able to use it to get Russell on the show, and how Russell uses it as well.
      • Why you should understand the history of these various traffic sources so that they will reward you 
      • Russell’s new book and how it relates to his trilogy, which has been updated and expanded (and how you can get the new hardcover version along with a workbook to track your progress)
      • How to build an affiliate army, and ways to entice them to continue to promote you, even if you are making the same offer for years
      • Why amateurs only focus on the front end
      • How to find out where your dream customers congregate
      • And much, much more!

An authority in both Google and Facebook advertising, she is the founder of boutique digital agency Green Arrow Digital which has managed over $30 million in Pay Per Click campaigns. Now, she runs an online training program, called Teach Traffic, where she teaches business owners exactly how to run profitable digital ad campaigns for themselves, without needing an agency. 

      On today’s show, Ilana details her paid ad puzzle technique and how to make the different pieces of your marketing puzzle work together. We talk about the best way to target without a high ad spend, and how to make retargeting work for you the right way as well as the use of in-market audiences. You’ll also hear why you shouldn’t be really focused on one traffic source, as they all have their place, and each source can feed each other. When you hear the way Ilana matches it out with her traffic puzzle, it makes so much sense. Now more than ever, ads prices are dropping, while internet usage is extremely higher, so this is the time to hone in on your traffic and dial in your puzzle. 

      After this episode, get more advice about how to run your ad traffic more effectively as well as get more visitors from Nate Broughton and Nicholas Kusmich

      “If you can't find a way to make retargeting profitable in your business, then the answer is not more traffic. The answer is to change your offer, because clearly your offer is not resonating with your audience.” - Ilana Wechsler

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to dial in your targeting on Facebook, Google, YouTube, etc.
      • How to start with low hanging fruit first and expand from there
      • What to do with your colder audiences
      • How to use data from display targeting with your placement campaign
      • How Google is shifting towards more identity-based targeting
      • How to start small, be strategic and profitable instead of throwing away wasted dollars on ad spend
      • How to get your fans to share and comment about your awesome offering
      • The importance of brand traffic so you can send your visitors exactly where you want instead of Google (or worse, your competitors)
      • And much, much more!

      ]]>Today we are chatting with Ilana Wechsler who is a former data analyst, turned Pay Per Click marketing expert. An authority in both Google and Facebook advertising, she is the founder of boutique digital agency Green Arrow Digital which has managed over $30 million in Pay Per Click campaigns. Now, she runs an online training program, called Teach Traffic, where she teaches business owners exactly how to run profitable digital ad campaigns for themselves, without needing an agency. 

      On today’s show, Ilana details her paid ad puzzle technique and how to make the different pieces of your marketing puzzle work together. We talk about the best way to target without a high ad spend, and how to make retargeting work for you the right way as well as the use of in-market audiences. You’ll also hear why you shouldn’t be really focused on one traffic source, as they all have their place, and each source can feed each other. When you hear the way Ilana matches it out with her traffic puzzle, it makes so much sense. Now more than ever, ads prices are dropping, while internet usage is extremely higher, so this is the time to hone in on your traffic and dial in your puzzle. 

      After this episode, get more advice about how to run your ad traffic more effectively as well as get more visitors from Nate Broughton and Nicholas Kusmich

      “If you can't find a way to make retargeting profitable in your business, then the answer is not more traffic. The answer is to change your offer, because clearly your offer is not resonating with your audience.” - Ilana Wechsler

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to dial in your targeting on Facebook, Google, YouTube, etc.
      • How to start with low hanging fruit first and expand from there
      • What to do with your colder audiences
      • How to use data from display targeting with your placement campaign
      • How Google is shifting towards more identity-based targeting
      • How to start small, be strategic and profitable instead of throwing away wasted dollars on ad spend
      • How to get your fans to share and comment about your awesome offering
      • The importance of brand traffic so you can send your visitors exactly where you want instead of Google (or worse, your competitors)
      • And much, much more!

Listen in and you’ll hear us discuss how FanDuel originated, the differences between dealing with the government in the U.S. and Scotland and what the company went through when dealing with the legislature (to their mutual benefit). We also talk about how they were able to build traction and get the word out, especially to a targeted audience that is used to playing fantasy football within a specific time frame.

      We dive into Nigel’s latest venture, an app branded specifically to your community that allows you to talk directly with your audience and where you own the data.  We also talk about the benefits of dealing with venture capital and why you may actually not want to go that route, as well as monetization techniques for your content. When you’re done get more insight about building an amazing business with Robert Farrington and Ryan Levesque.

      “We said, what if we took that game and we made it faster, and we are going to have the game last a day. Then, we said you don't have to go and find a bunch of friends, you can actually play with anyone. And instead of just playing a ten-person league, paying $10 to win maybe $100, why don't you play in 100,000 person league where you can pay $10 and you can win a million dollars.” - Nigel Eccles

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Why working with the government to set rules is actually a good thing
      • The beauty of being able to play fantasy football after the season begins
      • The right and way and the wrong way to approach venture capitalist funding 
      • Yet another way podcasters can communicate with their audience and even monetize the show
      • Who you should go to to get your idea validated 
      • Going into a new venture without knowing all the ropes
      • Why paid content is still attainable even in this wave of the “make everything free” internet and how to approach that with your audience
      • And much, much more!

Her largest business was a wireless communications consultancy that was doing $10 million in revenue per year and employed 75 people when she sold it. Sara also talks about the world of holding masterminds and how she is able to white label that for other brands, an interesting concept and potential way to expand your current business model.

      This episode is also really eye-opening, as Sara talks about how one little post sent her world in a spiral, leading to an all-out war waged on her business, thousands of hateful messages and even death threats. And while it’s something many of us never consider, this leads to a great discussion of how we are all at risk in this new age of technology, what you need to know to best protect yourself and how to defend your business and personal data to minimize being put at risk.

      After you’ve listened, be sure to check out our previous shows with Sunny Lenarduzzi and Brad Costanzo where we talk even more about branding, networking and leveraging your audience for long term growth.

      “Who are we to be judging each other, and can we not have conversations that are nuanced and still be friends even if we don’t agree on things?” - Sara Christensen

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • A little side hustle Sara started in elementary school!
      • How being in the right place at the right time led to a completely new business opportunity
      • The reality of how the internet takes away our humility

      In this show, we dive into Lisa’s GFR Commandments and how these insights and confessions will help you determine where you may be stuck and whether you may be ready for a new strategy -  what Lisa has coined as “Unmentoring”. We also get some advice in regards to our own business and how to deal with anxiety as we get more and more opportunities to speak on stage and connect with other podcasters.  

      Lisa discusses how, just because something is successful and people like it, doesn’t mean you have to keep doing it.  She always knew she had a low tolerance for not being happy, but now she knows her mission is to help other successful and soulful business owners GFR so they can get out of their own way and help more people.  Once you’ve listened, be sure to check our shows with Aaron Fletcher and Jason Moffatt where we talk about having a successful business while also making time for your relationships and the ultimate lifestyle.

      “The truth is that with all of the marketing, whiz bangy things that we all go to conferences to learn, and all the automation and new tech, the best way to stand out is to be ourselves.” - Lisa Cherney

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • What are the GFR Commandments and how they can help you get real with yourself
      • Another shoutout to Steve!
      • Why Lisa left a great paying job and how she was able to find her true calling, at a young age

      • Your personal evolution, how to be real to your audience even if that means being putting off others
      • Why trusting your struggle actually helps serve your mission and your audience

In fact, the son of a fourth-generation coal miner, Garrett’s blue-collar roots are what makes him so passionate about helping entrepreneurs build economic independence through his business, The Wealth Factory.

      In today’s show, we dive into Garrett’s simple upbringing and yet how he grew up with an entrepreneurial mind, even at a young age. We discuss the importance of traveling and gaining a sense of connectedness, how Garrett filmed his origin story and was able to break generational wounds of his grandparents only to go through various stages of what he refers to as the four losing personas with money. He also discusses how these four personas can be flipped around to benefit ourselves and others with a goal towards collaboration and innovation. 

      If you want to transform your thoughts into profits, keep way more of what you make, keep and grow your money without sacrifice or delay, then Garrett is your guy. If you enjoyed this show and want to learn more about how to make your dollar go further while getting into the correct money mindset, be sure to check out our shows with James Altucher and Noah St. John.

      “I’m looking to heal generational wounds, create a new story where our family can break the shackles of scarcity that came over with my grandfather as he tried to break free from poverty, and instead embrace abundance and purpose, understand value creation, and develop our gifts and invest in ourselves. That work really matters to me.” - Garrett Gunderson

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How Garrett’s humble upbringing changed the course of his life
      • His 14 * 4 * 6 strategy that helps strengthen his marriage 
      • The four losing games when it comes to money - are you one of these?
      • Discussing the opportunity cost of a glass of wine which Garrett had with his wife one night 
      • How Garrett is able to open up his client’s eyes to discover how to increase cash flow in their business
      • Lessons learned from watching the world’s best comedians
      • The mindset of money and how what we learn and hear growing up affects us

Listen in as you’ll hear how Joey used his ingenuity and skills to connect with one of the most well-known marketers of the day and make a name for himself in the online marketing world with what he knew best his video creativity.

      From there, we discuss Joey’s ups and down in the world of entrepreneurism and how he’s gone the extra mile to set himself apart with his video expertise, creating such a buzz in the marketing world with his techniques, that he was copied over and over. We also talk about his tactics with promoting his software product, how he is able to outsource the content for his membership area and come up with new ideas.

Ever since we hung up with our guest, we have completely nerded out on his site, as he does super deep research on every brand in the world. He basically looks at businesses and reverse engineers them by digging into their financial statements, how they get their traffic using various SEO tools, and then writes up these detailed blog posts about their entire business model.  He dives into where their revenue comes from, where he sees them headed, and basically everything you could want to know about these businesses. The cool thing is it's very objective as he consumes content like crazy. 

      Gennaro checks out a slew of business models, everything from affiliate marketing, freemium and subscription models, just to name a few. Imagine how many new concepts you’ll be able to come up with, or perhaps your customers have been asking for a specific model, but maybe you don’t know how to build it. We’ve recently been talking about the affiliate model and when we started digging around on Gennaros’ site we realized there is a lot more affiliate business than you realize, some being multi-billion-dollar companies. After you’ve listened be sure to check out our shows with Nate Broughton and David Sinick for even more content, research, and keyword strategies. 

      “If you think about business today, Google, Facebook, and Amazon, those are actually the gatekeepers of distribution. You are going through those gatekeepers to earn your customers, so you better understand how they work. ” - Gennaro Cuofano 

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to reverse engineer other business models and why you would want to
      • Listen to us nerd out about the Booking.com site, and how it’s broken down from an advertising and revenue standpoint
      • How you can actually do this analysis for yourself
      • Ways to learn about business if they do not have public accessible financial data

We got to share the cigar bar stage with such guests as Russell Brunson, Dean Graziosi, Jeff Walker, Dennis Yu, Perry Marshall, and Mike Fillisame among many others. 

      We first attended a great mastermind, then shortly after that, Rich held his 24-hour live stream, where there were literally billions of dollars of net worth under one roof (plus thousands of dollars of alcohol and cigars). Listen in as we discussed some cool tactics we learned as well as insights into what makes some of the internet’s most successful entrepreneurs tick. We also talk about imposter syndrome, the importance of authenticity, and some of the many things that make Agora so prosperous. When you’re done listening, be sure to revisit the show we did with Rich Schefren as well as the show we had with Curt Maly where we talk more in-depth about best practices for moving your business forward as well as some additional Facebook ad strategies.

      “Most of them are some of the friendliest, giving people and they are willing to share their tactics...that is why they succeed because they are so freely giving and if you ask them a question they are an open book.” - Matt Wolfe

      “So as we talked to a lot of people around this event, you came to realize that the imposter syndrome is a real thing no matter what level you are at.“ - Joe Fier

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • The secrets of being rich…..podcast!
      • Why imposter syndrome is spreading faster than the coronavirus and what to do about it (no masks needed!)
      • Who we chatted with at dinner and some folks we finally got to meet in person after being connected to for years

And in today's episode, we are chatting with Molly Mahoney of The Prepared Performer, who is legendary for her Facebook marketing skills. She’s a wizard at doing Facebook lives and getting organic reach. Listen in as we touch on Facebook ads and how Molly is able to get high ticket coaching clients, also right from Facebook. She is a wealth of knowledge and she also has a pretty cool deal with BeLive.tv where she's part of their team too. We have been trying to figure out how to get attention organically on Facebook, which has been dwindling for all of us lately, and Molly gives us some killer advice as she checks out our pages and answers our questions right on the show. She audited our Facebook fan page in real-time (and the results were not pretty), but you’ll be able to hear our new roadmap. 

      We also discuss how to grow Facebook groups, how to get interaction on Facebook pages with her four step process for that, the value of your Facebook personal profile and what you can and can’t do with it. She also talks about the “social triangle”, crucial live strategies with a process to follow to get more engagement when you do go live, and she breaks down how she launched her camera confidence course. After you’ve listened be sure to check out our shows with Nicholas Kusmich and Curt Maly for even more tips on how to get the most out of your Facebook strategy.

      “You want to ask engaging questions and you want to use the 80/20 rule with links. If you do a link, put it in the messenger bot so it causes people to engage first and then they get the link, otherwise, you are just driving traffic off of the platform.” - Molly Mahoney

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Shout to Steve!
      • What strategies no longer work with Facebook messenger bots and what is working now
      • How to get engagement using tools like Manychat and a hack for getting your videos shared after they connect with you on Messenger
      • What the heck is the difference between GLAP & GLAM
      • Molly’s roadmap on how to grow your bot list using content
      • Examples of post content to use to help grow your audience and get more likes and shares (without using those exact words)
      • The proper way to set up a Facebook Group, a Facebook Page & your Facebook Profile in a way that will keep you in favor with the platform
      • The “Quesadilla of Awesome” method which will make you hungry for realizing all of your epic abilities
      • A way to line out 20 things about yourself that will give you way more content
      • What happened when we posted the same thing to our Facebook pages (another trick to help you with engagement and get the ball rolling)
      • Some cool resources that you can grab which will shorten your workload
      • And much, much more!

      ]]>We’re back! And in today's episode, we are chatting with Molly Mahoney of The Prepared Performer, who is legendary for her Facebook marketing skills. She’s a wizard at doing Facebook lives and getting organic reach. Listen in as we touch on Facebook ads and how Molly is able to get high ticket coaching clients, also right from Facebook. She is a wealth of knowledge and she also has a pretty cool deal with BeLive.tv where she's part of their team too. We have been trying to figure out how to get attention organically on Facebook, which has been dwindling for all of us lately, and Molly gives us some killer advice as she checks out our pages and answers our questions right on the show. She audited our Facebook fan page in real-time (and the results were not pretty), but you’ll be able to hear our new roadmap. 

      We also discuss how to grow Facebook groups, how to get interaction on Facebook pages with her four step process for that, the value of your Facebook personal profile and what you can and can’t do with it. She also talks about the “social triangle”, crucial live strategies with a process to follow to get more engagement when you do go live, and she breaks down how she launched her camera confidence course. After you’ve listened be sure to check out our shows with Nicholas Kusmich and Curt Maly for even more tips on how to get the most out of your Facebook strategy.

      “You want to ask engaging questions and you want to use the 80/20 rule with links. If you do a link, put it in the messenger bot so it causes people to engage first and then they get the link, otherwise, you are just driving traffic off of the platform.” - Molly Mahoney

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Shout to Steve!
      • What strategies no longer work with Facebook messenger bots and what is working now
      • How to get engagement using tools like Manychat and a hack for getting your videos shared after they connect with you on Messenger
      • What the heck is the difference between GLAP & GLAM
      • Molly’s roadmap on how to grow your bot list using content
      • Examples of post content to use to help grow your audience and get more likes and shares (without using those exact words)
      • The proper way to set up a Facebook Group, a Facebook Page & your Facebook Profile in a way that will keep you in favor with the platform
      • The “Quesadilla of Awesome” method which will make you hungry for realizing all of your epic abilities
      • A way to line out 20 things about yourself that will give you way more content
      • What happened when we posted the same thing to our Facebook pages (another trick to help you with engagement and get the ball rolling)
      • Some cool resources that you can grab which will shorten your workload
      • And much, much more!

This guy has lived many lifetimes already, and he’s experienced lost, distilled what he's learned from it and provides practical ways which helped him to improve his life and others in a very simple way. You may recall he put out a book called “Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It “. We dive into the reasons why he wrote the book, the backstory and you’ll hear how his story was not what we expected at all in regards to how he got to where he is today.

      Kamal got so much feedback from his book which went viral, he decided to go back and rework it, adding some step by step advice, so it’s very fresh new content. It’s an expanded version with a boatload of practical advice including an actual manual in the book on how to proceed. Each step is broken down and he told us that he has not only learned a lot but gets a ton of feedback from people who reach out to him (he actually includes his email address in the book)! His ideas are not only powerful but the simplicity of it all is a winner. 

      As you listen, you will hear us share some of our own struggles and Kamal’s input to those. You’ll also hear how even though he is deep into business, his talk is so intertwined and starts with making sure you have your stuff together internally. When you are done, be sure to check out some of our previous shows dealing with mindset and business with Nancy Marmolejo and Aaron Fletcher.

      “It was in that moment of darkness, where I had nothing left to want to go on, I made a decision that I was going to get out of it. And how I did it, I don’t know where it came from but I wrote a vow to myself in my journal. It was a vow to love myself.” - Kamal Ravikant

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • What happened when Kamal had a near-death experience recently and how he has rebounded
      • How to figure out your physical well-being, relationship well-being, etc. so that your business will improve as well.
      • How his first book when viral and all the new changes with this updated version
      • A simple breathing practice you can use when dealing with anxiety
      • What sets Kamal apart from so many other writers out there to really connect with his readers
      • How to set yourself apart in your marketing and social media
      • What Kamal learned from talking with a Navy seal sniper and how you can apply it to your own life
      • How to create those deep mental patterns to lead you to a positive shift 
      • And much, much more!

You may remember we had Theo on previously and his episode was super popular as we talked about sleep, having more energy and the best supplements to take. As we come into the seminar season when a lot of events are happening, we realize that those events can be really draining as there’s a change in diet, you are away from your normal routine and you’re on your feet all day. If you are attending these events, we talk about how you can counteract these things. 

      We also highlight how to prep yourself at home or at the office, and there’s a lot of supplement talk, habits, and practices - both free and paid stuff. You’ll have everything you need to not only succeed at home but also feel your best away from home as well.

After you are done, you’ll definitely want to check out our previous show with Theo as well as our show with Joe Cohen for even more tools to add to your health and wellness library. 

      “Let’s just focus on your body first, because you don’t have to think about it, just do certain things and your body is provided the conditions it needs to begin repairing itself...and before you know it you can think more clearly and that’s when you have the energy and the willpower.” - Theo Lucier

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • The turning point over the last few years where ‘Hustle & Grind’ has changed to slowing it down and taking care of yourself first
      • How to pick the right MCT oil to avoid the dreaded disaster pants

We couldn’t say no as we realized he came with so much value and a model that was easy to follow, that we really wanted to share it. 

      Doc comes across as someone who has lived many lifetimes, going through a variety of businesses through the ages (even though he’s close to our age). He’s worked with ESPN, AppSumo, an Olympic medal team, he ran his own CrossFit gym, even a candy store! He’s done so many interesting things in his life, and he’s one of the very few people who have made the cut through reaching out to us directly with his model. He’s also worked with VaynerSports and is clearly someone who makes stuff happen.

      You’ll hear how Doc takes the concept of creating content, which can be super time consuming and leans into what your personality is best suited for, then repurposing that content in a way in which you are getting it in front of the right people. You’ll also learn which channels are working and how to set up your own content funnel to keep it as simple for you so you don’t get overwhelmed trying to be everywhere, all over the various social media channels. After you are done, check out our talks with Paul Clifford and David Sinick as we discuss content syndication, content upgrading and speeding up the process for promoting and creating content. 

      “If the opportunity is there, I just try to listen as much as possible...how could be of use.” - Doc Williams

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Matt was the first person in his high school to do…..? Listen and find out!
      • What things Doc would do differently if he had to start all over again
      • How Doc turned a reality show opportunity into a new business idea
      • What type of content you should be focused on providing in your business and why you don’t need to be everywhere, all the time across social media
      • Doc’s personality assessment test, why everyone should take it and how you can get a copy for yourself
      • How to run tests of your smaller pieces of content to know what works and get the right feedback from the right people first 
      • What Doc learned from selling candy at a young age to his friends
      • And much, much more!

At a lot of events we’ve attended, there's a lot of chest pumping but Podfest was the first event where the consensus was more about supporting each other and collaboration. Ever since then, we’ve been obsessed with the Podfest community and started to ingrain ourselves into the podfesting world because we love that perspective so much.  

      In today’s show, we dive into how awesome Podfest is, why you should definitely attend, all the cool swag and raffle items they have there, the special event that we are hosting this year, and so many other details that really sets this event apart. 

      On the business idea side, just consider how many ideas are still roaming around in your brain, waiting to be acted on. What if you started that thing you always said you’d do, even if it was imperfect? We also chat about Chris’ book Start Ugly, how he got the idea, who the main characters are based on in real life, and why it’s important for everyone to read it because of these very reasons and more. 

      When you’ve listened, be sure to check our previous show with Chris as well as our show with September Dohrmann for more tips on how to get the most out of attending events as well as for building systems not only for marketing events, but your business in general.

      “You think because someone is more successful than you, they figured it out.  The problem is everybody reaches a limit and they forget to start ugly again.” - Chris Krimitsos

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to help us with our upcoming software
      • How the Nintendo brand started (it’s not what you think!)
      • The 7 step system to starting ugly which will get you started and continuing to move ahead
      • What makes Podfest different from other events and why you should attend
      • How Chris came up with his book idea and a quick summary of this call to arms to encourage you to take action on your ideas and creations so you can release yourself from the chains of perfectionism 
      • Why is Joe sitting in an old lady rocking chair during the show?
      • Water parks, raffle items and dueling pianos - what’s not to love?!
      • How to start ugly over and over to keep yourself out of a rut
      • What Chris learned from interviewing a billionaire
      • The difference between entrepreneurs, business builders and business owners - which one are you?

Bedros is a cool guy who discovered his passion for helping people early on in life. We talk about his interesting past and how his father helped his family flee the Soviet Union when he was a child plus how growing up a poor foreigner, constantly on the move helped him to become resilient and an influencer, even at a young age.

      We also talk about the importance of mentors and the various ways in which Bedros’ personal mentor assisted him, which led him to eventually having one of the most successful gym models, landing on the Inc. 5,000 list three times in a row, and hitting Entrepreneur Magazine’s list of 500 best franchises out of 175,000 franchises out there. When you’re done, be sure to check out our show we recorded with Angelo Sisco and Mike Matuz, fitness entrepreneurs as well who have figured a way to be their own boss.  

      “Even my business partner, Craig Ballantyne - I paid him to mentor me, and he paid me to mentor him years later as my business took off as I got better at selling high ticket prices. The point of this is, without mentors you’re not getting anywhere.” - Bedros Keuilian

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How Bedros and his family left the constraints of the Soviet Union when he was a child
      • Growing up in the U.S., not knowing English and dumpster diving for food
      • How Bedros went from being a fat kid in high school to getting ripped (even though he never did ask that girl to the prom)
      • Why it’s important to constantly improve yourself, even if you lead a comfortable life (Rubik’s cube speedcubing, anyone?)
      • Key lessons learned from watching The Sopranos
      • What Bedros learned from his first mentor and how it shaped his life forever
      • Changes made during the economic crash which led to a successful franchise offer
      • Bedros’ early job working as a bouncer at a gay bar (and you’ll never believe who he met there!)
      • How working out can improve your marriage, business and yes - even your health!

Their process for creating courses is amazing, and one of these days we’ll make a behind the scenes video for you. This segways into our focus of creating more content for other platforms, such as courses. 

      Also on today’s show, we discuss some things that have changed since our last therapy session episode, some areas in our business that will be given less focus and where we are headed going forward. We also had some a-ha moments lately, which has helped to really zone in on our future business plans and helped our creativity to really take off. 

      We talk about our affiliate marketing strategies, what most affiliate marketers are doing wrong, and how to set yourself apart from the rest, to build up the most value and have a supportive, tuned-in audience for the long term. After you’ve soaked all this in, be sure to check out our shows with Dustin Mathews and Robert Farrington for even more insight on how to scale your business and capture an audience that loves your content.

      “We masterminded a few days ago about how can we make this podcast even better, how can we make it more valuable to the listener, how can we provide even more freely and make it so people listening would go ‘Damn, I would have paid for this information’. That’s really our goal with this show.” - Matt Wolfe

      “We love to experiment and tinker and go down business models, of course, but we also love to share what we are doing and actually see results from other people.“ - Joe Fier

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • An update to our latest update and what we are really focused on now
      • All the cool events we will be attending and speaking at in the next few months and how you can meet up with us
      • How we realized where we should put our attention (and tips on how you can make the most out of your business intentions as well)
      • One key thing we are doing with our affiliate traffic that almost no one else is doing, but is a huge asset to our business
      • One of our latest “a-ha” moments, which seems so simple, but was a real eye-opener and led to a huge burst of inspiration for new ideas
      • What most affiliate marketers are doing wrong and how to market products the right way so the big ad networks will love you 
      • What people really want when looking at products and how to convert search traffic into buyers
      • Soooo many shout-outs in this episode, too many to list. Are you one of them?

      ]]>We are back today with another awesome Therapy Session which we recorded right after we finished creating a training course over at WealthFit. Their process for creating courses is amazing, and one of these days we’ll make a behind the scenes video for you. This segways into our focus of creating more content for other platforms, such as courses. 

      Also on today’s show, we discuss some things that have changed since our last therapy session episode, some areas in our business that will be given less focus and where we are headed going forward. We also had some a-ha moments lately, which has helped to really zone in on our future business plans and helped our creativity to really take off. 

      We talk about our affiliate marketing strategies, what most affiliate marketers are doing wrong, and how to set yourself apart from the rest, to build up the most value and have a supportive, tuned-in audience for the long term. After you’ve soaked all this in, be sure to check out our shows with Dustin Mathews and Robert Farrington for even more insight on how to scale your business and capture an audience that loves your content.

      “We masterminded a few days ago about how can we make this podcast even better, how can we make it more valuable to the listener, how can we provide even more freely and make it so people listening would go ‘Damn, I would have paid for this information’. That’s really our goal with this show.” - Matt Wolfe

      “We love to experiment and tinker and go down business models, of course, but we also love to share what we are doing and actually see results from other people.“ - Joe Fier

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • An update to our latest update and what we are really focused on now
      • All the cool events we will be attending and speaking at in the next few months and how you can meet up with us
      • How we realized where we should put our attention (and tips on how you can make the most out of your business intentions as well)
      • One key thing we are doing with our affiliate traffic that almost no one else is doing, but is a huge asset to our business
      • One of our latest “a-ha” moments, which seems so simple, but was a real eye-opener and led to a huge burst of inspiration for new ideas
      • What most affiliate marketers are doing wrong and how to market products the right way so the big ad networks will love you 
      • What people really want when looking at products and how to convert search traffic into buyers
      • Soooo many shout-outs in this episode, too many to list. Are you one of them?
      • Affiliates 4 Lyfe, yup that’s us - search it now!
      • And much, much more!

Martin, founder, and owner of Crossfit Invictus, one of the most premier Crossfit gyms out there and probably one of the largest as well. They are the most recognized Crossfit gym, based out of San Diego, and they also have online courses and trainings. For the last 11 consecutive years, they have had a presence at the Crossfit Games - the most elite of the elite of Crossfit athletes - with a team competing.

      A lot of folks know about Invictus, but C.J.. says there’s never been a focus on the brand, as his goal is to get to the core of the wants and needs of the people to make them better people. We talk about how he managed to build such a successful brand, and how his gym is doing very well while others have struggled. Also, we discuss the mindset traits he instills into his members which is very similar to the attributes that entrepreneurs have, and are qualities that can empower anyone. 

      Listen in, as C.J. gets vulnerable talking about how the business almost went under, and how he persevered by challenging himself. And when you’re done, be sure to check out our shows with Marshall Wayne and Sunny Lenarduzzi on how to build a world-class brand that stands out.

      “I just realized that my lifelong impact was not going to be there. I wasn’t sure that I wanted it written on my tombstone - ‘Successfully defended lots of Fortune 500 companies’” - C.J. Martin

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to install discipline in your life (and in the lives of others)
      • How Crossfit establishes mental toughness and stability
      • The real meaning behind Invictus 
      • Why C.J. jumped out of a moving bus (and why that ended up being a good thing)
      • Questions C.J. asks in the beginning when members sign up to put them on the right training path
      • How his gym stands out from most others and how this benefits his members
      • How C.J. was able to self fund a startup business and quit working his full-time job
      • How being uncomfortable helps you move ahead, both at the gym and in life in general
      • Establishing priorities and values that help establish your work/life balance
      • The turning point that almost caused Crossfit Invictus to fail, and how C.J. was able to forge ahead

He’s a former Lecturer in Marketing at Stanford's Graduate School of Business and also taught at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design.

After listening, go check out our conversations with Brad Spencer and Henry Evans for more time saving tips on how to plan out your week for maximum efficiency and focus.

      • How to schedule time in your week effectively to get things done
      • Why you should rip up that to-do list

He is running a massive podcast over in Australia and has one of the top podcasts in the real estate space called Property Investory with 1.3 million downloads since 2017. Clearly, Tyrone knows how to grow and monetize as well. You’ll hear some discussions about ideas we gave him and vice versa, as we are working well together. 

      What’s really cool about his story is that he discusses his not only his successes but his fears around podcasting. He’s a very systematic guy, and he explains what his systems are and what he’s done to not only launch and grow his show but make money as well.

He’s got so many different ways which allow him to stand out and grow the show very big. After you’ve listened to the show, be sure to check out the other episodes we mentioned that we recorded with Casey Zeman and Dennis Yu for more podcasting tips.

      “When I spoke to a lot of listeners, they say the same thing...the reason why Property Investory stands out is because it tells a story. It’s not like any other podcast out there where you actually delve into the background where they grew up to all the way through to how they got started in property .” - Tyrone Shum

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Some growth and monetization strategies that even we were not aware of
      • What we love about podcasting and some things we are not entirely fond of as well
      • How to attract big-name guests to your show, and once you’ve connected, how to continuously maintain that relationship

      • How he has been able to leverage his relationships for some big affiliate income
      • Ten growth strategies and 7-8 monetization strategies, not including those boring ones we all know

We’re back for another episode of our Therapy Sessions and today, we have our core team together, including our Operations Manager, Shannon Lemon. What better way to end the year than by reviewing the last twelve months, and all the surprises, pivots, amazing things that happened and some stress points as well. 

      We also discuss our goals for 2020, both personal and business, and what we’ve gleaned from the past year that will keep us focused in the year ahead. We talk about  how much we hate social media, how we are each tuning in to our strengths to make our systems even more dialed in plus some great opportunities that have come our way.

      “When someone leaves a company, it really stress tests your systems and you figure out where you can shore up the systems. When they left, we found some of these systems weren’t developed quite as good as we thought they were. We found the blind spots as a result.” - Matt Wolfe

      “It’s so simple to overcomplicate things, especially when you are online being presented with a lot of opportunities, partnerships and affiliates. There are all these splinters of attention and energy and when you are dealing with a whole team...it can bring a lot of stress.” - Joe Fier

      “Working from home is not for everyone..if they don’t buy into your vision and where you want to go and contribute to that vision, you’re not going to have a lot of success with your employees.” - Shannon Lemon

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Why we sometimes fight like an old married couple and why it’s actually a good thing as business partners
      • Our 2019 review and some of the tougher moments
      • The many ways how Shannon has helped us immensely 
      • The importance of company culture and vision for your employees
      • How we hold our team calls and why it’s key when you have remote employees

      • Some big changes that may take a little longer but will have a huge impact
      • A few ways you can see us in person next year at some super cool events! 
      • The many downsides of social media and the right way to use it if you really need to

      ]]>Happy New Year’s eve to all our listeners! We’re back for another episode of our Therapy Sessions and today, we have our core team together, including our Operations Manager, Shannon Lemon. What better way to end the year than by reviewing the last twelve months, and all the surprises, pivots, amazing things that happened and some stress points as well. 

      We also discuss our goals for 2020, both personal and business, and what we’ve gleaned from the past year that will keep us focused in the year ahead. We talk about  how much we hate social media, how we are each tuning in to our strengths to make our systems even more dialed in plus some great opportunities that have come our way. Plus, we are super excited to be speakers at a few amazing events next year, as well as our mastermind we are holding in the spring.

He’s a third-generation Ukrainian immigrant who learned about the opportunities that our great country provides its citizens and as a result, he started to pursue real estate investing as a method of securing his financial future.

      He’s an active duty Marine who teaches what he has learned about real estate investing to others in the military through his course and community at Active Duty Passive Income. We talk about the benefits of owning a turnkey property, what to look for when investing in real estate, different ways to monetize your investment and some of the first steps you can take towards creating passive, mailbox income for yourself.

      When you’re done, be sure to listen to our shows with Scott Carson and Cory Boatright as we discuss more ways to create real estate wealth, how to buy a property with no money down and the treasure trove of real estate they people are ignoring. 

      “All these light bulbs went off and I realized what, in my humble opinion, what makes America tick and what was the cornerstone of American wealth is that it’s real estate” - Markian Sich

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • What to look for in your first investment property
      • How to be sure you are running the numbers correctly
      • Why you don’t even need to live in the same area that you are investing in
      • Defining syndication deals and which one may be better for your real estate growth
      • How those in active duty are able to buy their first property, even if they are moving from station to station
      • Limited partners, general partners, and accredited investors and how they relate to investment opportunities
      • Ways to start out with investing, even if you are not in the military
      • How to use the 1% rule in your investing strategy
      • Why Markian prefers to have monthly checks coming in over traditional savings

On today’s show, we talk about Russ’ thought process of creating a subscription business, which is being modeled many times over and how his success is based on filling a huge need in the market. We also chat about how he’s scaled up, has been able to step away, plus the importance of creating job roles to avoid hiring the wrong person.

He also discusses the book he wrote about dealing with addiction and how he was able to break his own dependence that nearly cost him his marriage. Once you’ve listened, check out our episodes with James Schramko and Aaron Fletcher on creating thriving memberships to round it out.

      ]]>Today we are talking about website design and conversion optimization with Greg Merrilees, the guy behind the websites of Ezra Firestone, Kevin Rogers, Frank Oz and soon our site at Evergreen Profits.  He runs Studio1 Design and is a total ninja when it comes to optimizing websites in order to have visitors convert into leads and leads convert into sales. 

      He’s been online forever, and we dive into common mistakes he has seen that a lot of people are doing with their website design, breaking down the psychology that happens from a customer's perspective and detailing three key points if you want to have a high converting website.  

      We also chat about the basics behind Greg’s agency which services 100 people at any one time, and how he’s created a huge business which he’s managed to simplify and give him a truly lifestyle business he loves. And after you soaked all this in, be sure to check out our shows we talked about with Stephan Spencer and James Schramko for more tips about optimizing your site and customer retention. 

      “It’s quite a trend at the moment to be more organic and not so polished with design. If you look at all social media posts, those are the ones that get shared because people don’t want it to be perfect, they want it to be more handmade and more organic.” - Greg Merrilees

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to create a “mood board” as a branding roadmap
      • How to go the extra mile to grab attention
      • What are some of the biggest mistakes with website design 
      • A simple addition to your thank you page, which most people forget to include
      • How to have the right website components to be in align with your vision
      • Greg’s agency model and how it’s completely dialed in without even doing team calls
      • The main idea behind your homepage and what you should definitely not be doing with it
      • A shout out to some awesome supporters and listeners. Is it you? Listen to find out!
      • And much, much more!

They are doing a lot of cool things and you’ll hear how  Vadim is teaching as NYU and how he hacked his way into becoming a professor there, without going through the usual process of slugging through a masters degree. We also talk about how Sergei runs a venture capital fund at NYU and helps businesses with investing and start up mentoring. 

      They shine a lot of light on brand new startups and how people should approach this issue, what to have in place before you start creating a partnership and key components to look for to determine whether you have a sustainable idea. 

      After you’re done, be sure to check out our shows with Abdo Riani on unique strategies for bootstrapping new business ideas and Brad Spencer as we discuss a three step process to maximize results with any project.

      “In America, even though there’s still a lot of rules and regulations you have to follow, it’s actually relatively easy to start a business. You can be a sole proprietor and you never even have to go to college.” - Vadim Revzin

      • Some common pitfalls when people are creating a startup
      • How the brothers started at a young age helping their father run a pillow pet kiosk at the mall

He built his Turbulence Training Empire with over 13 million viewers, and then Craig acquired the world’s biggest success newsletter, EarlyToRise.com. His first book, The Perfect Day Formula, has helped over 35,000 high-performers own the day and take back control of your life. 

      On today’s show, we talk about his early beginnings in Canada and how he reached a goal to become super fit while at the same falling into what he calls the “paradox of freedom” and why that is not exactly a good thing. From there we dive into how Craig coaches people on the proper way to set boundaries and maintain structure for their lives, how to get your values and vision in order and effective ways to deal with anxiety and stress.

      After the show, make sure to listen to the previous episodes with James Altucher and  Justin Goff we referred to, which will give you even more insight on how to deal with these issues and ways to make your life more peaceful, focused and stress-free.

      “We need this structure and these systems in place and when you put that together, you get true freedom.” - Craig Ballantyne

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • What Craig has learned from an ancient philosopher and how it rings true today
      • How Craig ended up in the ER twice while he was in the best shape of his life
      • Why Craig only has four apps on his phone and which ones he uses
      • Breathing exercises to immediately calm you down
      • Why most of us are planning our work week out all wrong

You’ll hear about some big changes in Joe’s life, and how dealing with a recent family death has really put things in perspective for him, and enabled him to flip the coin on some concerning traits and family history. 

      We also talk about the amazing coaching we have had recently and some takeaways that have really helped us to hone in on what’s really key for our business goals, which in turn has opened up some truly amazing opportunities in the months ahead.

      “If there’s an imbalance...there’s no perfect balance, but the goal is to try to and always get to balance. It’s going to be a wavering thing, just like being on a skateboard. All you’re doing is dealing with what’s coming your way.” - Joe Fier

      His business allows him this benefit and in this show, you'll learn how he has honed his skills over the years while failing a few times only to create a new business from scratch. You’ll also hear why he feels Google advertising still beats out the rest, the proper ways to run your advertising effectively and the best thing to do to get traction if you are just starting out.

      Once you’ve got your wheels turning on how to get more leads, be sure to check out our episodes with Mike Rhodes and David Schloss who reveal more ways to use both Google and Facebook advertising for awesome results.

      “I always try to have one client in the background so I’m still in the game. I feel like that I owe that to my customers so I’m not just teaching, that I can still talk about things.” - Justin Brooke

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Justin’s scalable recipe for paid traffic

As a former producer for MTV and Comedy Central, Jason was always thinking ahead and knew that there would come a day when big budget videos could someday be created easily at home. Jason talks about how the business got started plus how he and his co-founders strategically planned their way to move to New York and create a new software program that was ahead of its time.

His company, Splasheo.com, makes it easy to create super engaging videos, ready for social media domination. We’ve been following Gideon’s career over the years, have even crossed paths, and in this episode we chat about his amazing tool. 

      We also get into various ways to repurpose your videos, the different social media platforms to post them on, the social media platforms that are getting the most bang for your buck and how to actually be better when you are on video.  Gideon opens up about how he and his wife were able to start a new life, leaving their jobs and moving to a new country, how he was able to get to a point where he was working online fulltime and all the ups and downs of such a journey. He also talks about the benefits of partnerships and the key elements to connect with your audience so they stop scrolling and pay attention to you.

      Once you’ve listened to all the possibilities with making videos, be sure to check out our episodes with Brian G. Johnson on how to start a profitable channel from scratch and our show with Sunny Lenarduzzi on creating a thriving brand using video content.

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to frame yourself on video and other best practices
      • How Gideon was able to quit his job and move to a new country (not as easy as it sounds)

We’ve been following Gideon’s career over the years, have even crossed paths, and in this episode we chat about his amazing tool. 

      We also get into various ways to repurpose your videos, the different social media platforms to post them on, the social media platforms that are getting the most bang for your buck and how to actually be better when you are on video.  Gideon opens up about how he and his wife were able to start a new life, leaving their jobs and moving to a new country, how he was able to get to a point where he was working online fulltime and all the ups and downs of such a journey. He also talks about the benefits of partnerships and the key elements to connect with your audience so they stop scrolling and pay attention to you.

      Once you’ve listened to all the possibilities with making videos, be sure to check out our episodes with Brian G. Johnson on how to start a profitable channel from scratch and our show with Sunny Lenarduzzi on creating a thriving brand using video content.

      “Nowadays, on social media most people watch their content on silent...adding captions adds hugely to the engagement and retention of people actually watching your content.” - Gideon Shalwick 

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to frame yourself on video and other best practices
      • How Gideon was able to quit his job and move to a new country (not as easy as it sounds)
      • The commonalities between Joe’s business history and Gideon’s
      • Why strategic partnerships are key
      • The processes behind Splasheo to keep video production moving smoothly
      • A cool way marketers are able to get video content done without doing any work themselves
      • A simple way to start off your videos to instantly make it more engaging
      • How to build a massive content library
      • The key to keeping people watching your videos and not swiping along
      • The major difference between transcription techniques and why Splasheo is set apart
      • And much, much more!

After getting frustrated with the lack of proper services to test deliverability options, Travis decided to create one himself. You are in for a treat as Travis talks about the amazing split testing that his tool can do on multiple levels, which not only saves you time but the annoyance of having to switch on the front end from one carrier to another, as it’s done on the backend of his software.

      We also dive into the key things everyone should be doing to make sure their list has the highest quality threshold and the best chances for high open rates. Plus to set yourself apart, we talk about some other cool ways to get your readers excited about hearing from you such as gamifying your list. Lastly, we get into some real talk about a subject we continue to discuss which is anxiety, depression, and becoming stuck in comparison mode and how to combat those things to keep you on track.

      After you are finished, be sure to listen to our previous episode with Travis as he discusses how to build a list with contests and giveaways along with our episode with Wilco de Kreij on how to build your list exponentially. 

      “If your compass was one-tenth of one degree off it’s not a big deal for the first mile, but you do that path forever and you end up in a wildly different spot.” - Travis Ketchum

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to clean up your list for maximum deliverability results
      • Why you want to split test everything on the backend
      • How to add gamification to your email list-building model
      • The different levels of split testing
      • How to keep things in perspective when things go wrong
      • How Travis’ new podcast is a platform about the frustrations with running a subscription business

A factory guy at heart, Anthony oversees an operation that spans 16 countries in 4 continents with customers including Google, Facebook, Twitter and many of the world’s best brands. 

      We had an awesome conversation about the history of the business, how he got started, where the name came from, why he likes manufacturing and how he plans his manufacturing process. 

      We also discuss his AppSumo deal, how he hires employees and some really interesting stories around his business. He also has an interesting product in the mix which we talk about as well. After you’re done, be sure to check out our previous shows with Jeff Vacek and how he leverages physical products to increase sales and Steven Sashen as we talk about moving your brand into the mainstream. 

      “We said from day one, on the customer end, we want things to be fast, simple and fun.” - Anthony Constantino

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How Sticker Mule got its cool name
      • How a complaint from a customer paved the way for an operation in Italy
      • Why simplicity wins over everything else
      • How Anthony creates a work environment of trust and idea generation 
      • Why it’s important to pay attention to even the smallest of details
      • Why he “stole” from Google and why it’s working now
      • How feeding thousands of burgers to a crowd led to a new product creation
      • How Anthony was able to start a brand new company without even knowing what they would be selling and having no knowledge of internet marketing

      • And much, much more!

He’s an ex-FBI hostage negotiator, so he has some really cool stories, and he has translated his negotiation experience into how to do the same with sales and business.

      If you ever talk to people, this is such a valuable interview, since it’s going to help you be a better communicator in general. You can apply this stuff everywhere. We even talk about using negotiating on how to strengthen your relationship.

      “The most dangerous negotiation is the one you don’t know you are in. That’s kind of the definition of marketing, isn’t it?” - Chris Voss

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to seek the best outcome in the negotiation
      • Why you should not ask “Why?” and what to ask instead
      • How to read body language and what to say to make them more at ease
      • Routine questions Chris asks during negotiating
      • What is tactical empathy and how to use it in your business
      • The story behind Chris’ most memorable hostage situation
      • How to improve your relationship at home
      • Why you should not be 100% sure of what you want as your outcome
      • What a hostage negotiation has to do with marketing and the takeaways you can use to come out ahead

On today’s show, he lays down some solid financial knowledge showing that it can actually be fun to take on the task of becoming financially savvy so that you can take that vacation you always wanted to, pay off that debt or retire to that cabin in the woods to write that novel you’ve always wanted to produce.

      Beau has a background in psychology, so he is able to discuss how we get to the core root of our financial lifestyle and breaks down a lot of stuff behind our money habits, patterns and programming.

      We get tactical on making sure your money is managed in the right way, a topic that is not discussed nearly enough in the digital marketing space. Plus, towards the end, we talk about the powers behind podcasting and Beau’s process of recording content and coming up with topics quickly for episodes, plus a way to create a whole book with just twelve topics. 

      After you’re done, check out our discussions with Noah St. John on how to remove your head trash about money and our episode with Steve Glaveski who talks about getting the proper funds and mindset if you are transitioning to a full-time gig as an entrepreneur. 

      “Don’t be that person that’s sleepwalking through life. I believe if we are all living a life that is exciting, and we are excited, it’s gotta be better for us, our family, our community and the world as a whole.” - Beau Henderson

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to get out of debt
      • How to work with your kids to make sure they are financially literate
      • The direction retirement is going in this day and age

As you realize this is a must for your life and your business, be sure to check out our previous shows with Joe Cohen and Dr. Steve Ruden for even more information on biohacking and well-being.

We cover a lot of ground on this one, going deeper with some of the things we asked in the first round, such as the content wheel and the dollar a day ads. We also discuss how they systemize their business so they can hand them off and fulfill any role in the business. 

      Dennis and his company have done an amazing job of building checklists out of everything in their business. Plus, you’ll hear how they are able to capture a huge audience for their brand, without selling up front. And you’ll be ready to pack your suitcase after hearing them both give up their favorite travel hacks.

      After you’re done, be sure to give another listen to our first show with Dennis as you’ll see why it was so popular, as well as our episodes with John Corcoran and David Gonzalez for more insight on making those all important connections with top performers and influential people.

      “Something that does well on Facebook can show authority on the web. It can also be your pinned tweet, be recycled into YouTube, turned into an article, can be put into an email roundup summary of the top twelve things from last month. Take something that works, and copy it to the other channels.” - Dennis Yu

      “If you can take the subjects that you want to be known for which relates to your topic and create videos with people of authority in that topic, and you boost it to the people that already like that topic, instantly you are going to take a piece of their pie.” - Tanner Laycock

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to get more power out of your existing content
      • How to cross post
      • How Dennis and Tanner got into the highly secured CNN building when even one of their top correspondents had a hard time
      • Why working along smarter people is a great business strategy
      • How Dennis has one of our most downloaded episodes of all time

      JJ is a great storyteller and a smart businesswoman and you will love her personality as she delves into her interesting past, with all its ups and downs.

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to juggle so many different things with a multitude of businesses
      • How to make sure your business is consistently scaling and growing
      • How Joe & Matt used the “mattress method” when first starting out (it’s not what you think)

      • How to generate leads especially for health related fields
      • Thunderstorms and 6 pound dogs

First off, we review how we are continuing to be on the forefront of all that is in the podcasting world and how podcasting continues to be a content machine which can lead to so many monetization models such as newsletters, high ticket offers, sponsorships and continuity offers. 

      Next, we are not holding back as we talk about how we both have struggled with stress and anxiety in the past, what we have done and are doing now to combat that, leaving us to feel much better current day.  We feel that this is an issue that is not always discussed in today’s world, but really needs to be and we look into our personal lives a little more to talk about the things that all of us, as entrepreneurs deal with along with the practices that have made a big difference in our lives, in our relationships, health and overall well-being. Remember - as entrepreneurs, you are not alone.

      When you’re done, check out the episodes we did with with Travis Ketchum and Sam Khorramian where we delve into this important topic even more.

      “Isn’t it funny how much better business works when you build things people want instead of what you think they want.” - Matt Wolfe

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to deal with struggles and hardships
      • Why we are in the barrel of podcasting now and how to catch that wave
      • Matt’s heartfelt Facebook post and the most surprising outcome about it

      • Why so many people have reached out to us lately to assist them with their own podcasts

In an instant, he went from being a 20-year-old entrepreneur to someone fighting to save his leg and his way of life.

      After 8 surgeries, two months in a hospital bed, 5 months of daily rehab, Angelo fell into a deep depression.

      In 2009 he discovered CrossFit and everything changed once again. He had a new focus and a new purpose in life. After he lost close to 100 pounds, he opened up his own Crossfit gym in 2010, helping others to be the best version of themselves. 

      In 2018 Angelo launched Alpha Hippie, a movement to help men find their purpose and grow. He does through his podcast, talks, and his course Masculine Mastery.

      Angelo Sisco then teamed up with his mentor Jason Leydon in 2018 to create Conquer. 

      Angelo has an amazing, colorful story. Listen as we break down his mission and how he transitioned into this character he wanted to be. He walks us through many ways that you can do the same if you are stuck in your own life and discusses the four main barriers in life that hold us back and ways to overcome them. After you listen, be sure to check out our other episodes with Brian Bradley and Dr. Steve Ruden, for more golden nuggets of wisdom in regards to business and health.

      “The money helps because it’s your access to education to figure out how to be happy and figure out how to lose weight. People that are in positions they don’t want to be, it’s not because they want to be in those positions per se, it’s because they don’t have the education and awareness to get out of those situations.” - Angelo Sisco

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How Angelo dealt having a father in jail while growing up and how this affected him later in life
      • How Angelo lost close to 100 pounds in under a year’s time
      • What happened to make Angelo realize that his business was not growing as fast as he would like, and the changes that turned it around
      • Angelo’s bootstrapped story of how he got his gyms off the ground
      • Mental, physical, emotional and spiritual barriers and how to break them down
      • And much, much more!

While this episode is shorter than our usual ones, there is definitely some gold in here as always, as we discuss the benefits of UberSuggest, how QuickSprout got started as well as Neil’s excellent work ethic and tenacity in distributing so much content on his own.

      You’ll also hear how, even though he feels he has a few haters (which means he must be doing something right), he is able to ignore pretty much all the negativity and push on through, only taking in anything that can benefit him in the long run. 

      Neil also discusses what he considers would be best practices for just starting out as well as what he does to keep his content fresh and rank continuously with basically no ad spend. After you’ve delved into this episode be sure to check out our previous shows with Paul Clifford and David Sinek, two folks who also know a thing or two about content and SEO. 

      “My philosophy is don’t get bogged down by people saying negative stuff, take that negativity and if you can improve, improve. If you can’t because it’s just opinions and there’s nothing you can use to make yourself better, then keep moving on.” - Neil Patel

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to get backlinks on your site from SEO
      • Why every little bit helps by posting on a variety of sites
      • Some ideas about the future of the internet and where we are headed 
      • How to use organic content properly
      • Neil’s list of sites for content linking and how to use each one properly
      • How to deal with haters
      • Neil’s tenacity and his content producing machine

As the name suggests, it’s a circular funnel pattern that keeps the viewers within a loop where they are shown great information, while staying on the YouTube platform, until the very end for the offer. 

      This process works for most everything and they have even helped a guy selling over half a million dollars of bricks on YouTube as well as helped another get a job offer within just a few weeks.  

      Triston is the tech guy, building it all behind the scenes, while Aaron has a knack for the dynamic ideas with the process. Together they make a great team and have created a system which is now taking advantage of a platform, that has tons of traffic but is also ripe for to draw viewers into your content as the cost per acquisition is still low and the competition is not saturated.  Check out this episode to see what the video flywheel is all about as well as learning tactics to set your own videos apart and be on YouTube’s good side in order to get a better, organic reach.  

      “Our record for the client who has the most expensive offer is, we are using the flywheel to promote a $10,000 offer straight from Youtube. No upsell, no tripwire, no get on my list...just book a call, pay $10,000.” - Triston Goodwin

      “YouTube is very competitive, but it’s one of the least saturated places right now, especially for online marketing” - Aaron Biblow

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Strategies that work with both organic and paid traffic
      • Tactics on how to best optimize your videos
      • Why a call to action is not always the best thing
      • How to keep viewers watching longer
      • Best practices on how to up your YouTube score 
      • What to include in each video for continuity purposes
      • How to tie other people’s videos into your own for reach

Bob has worked with fun product ideas like skateboards and toys over the years and alongside guys like Tony Hawk. He’ll explain why it’s easier than you think to reach out to companies, big and small with your ideas and the best way to approach them, as well as why inventing is such a great side hustle for entrepreneurs.

      On the low end, Bob has made $30-$40 thousand a year and on the high end and as much as $1.5 million. He’s got a proprietary process that has 37 questions which will stimulate ideas and discusses how he uses this method to come up with ideas for existing products that will make them better, easier to use or simply more fun the end user.

      If you have any ounce of interest in inventing at all, you’ll want to listen to Bob’s take on his process and how he has succeeded without spending a lot of money upfront, hiring expensive patent attorneys or sourcing out costly prototypes.

      “If you are developing products, you want to jump from thing to thing. It doesn’t hold you back, it actually advances you.” - Bob Serling

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Testing and having fun with invention ideas
      • How to capitalize on your squirreling brain as an entrepreneur
      • How to come up with an idea and sell it within days or months

      ]]>This is round two talking with Bob Serling on our podcast. Bob has worked with fun product ideas like skateboards and toys over the years and alongside guys like Tony Hawk. He’ll explain why it’s easier than you think to reach out to companies, big and small with your ideas and the best way to approach them, as well as why inventing is such a great side hustle for entrepreneurs.

      On the low end, Bob has made $30-$40 thousand a year and on the high end and as much as $1.5 million. He’s got a proprietary process that has 37 questions which will stimulate ideas and discusses how he uses this method to come up with ideas for existing products that will make them better, easier to use or simply more fun the end user.

      If you have any ounce of interest in inventing at all, you’ll want to listen to Bob’s take on his process and how he has succeeded without spending a lot of money upfront, hiring expensive patent attorneys or sourcing out costly prototypes.

      “If you are developing products, you want to jump from thing to thing. It doesn’t hold you back, it actually advances you.” - Bob Serling

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • Testing and having fun with invention ideas
      • How to capitalize on your squirreling brain as an entrepreneur
      • How to come up with an idea and sell it within days or months
      • How to license your idea and cash out
      • How to invent as a side hustle
      • Finding potential people to buy your idea
      • The specific kind of attorney you want working for you
      • Why being a product developer is the ideal side hustle for entrepreneurs
      • How much you can expect to make from royalty deals
      • And much, more more!

We refer to him as the world’s greatest salesperson, even winning a contest by that same name. He’s got 22 years of experience in the peak performance space and has seen a lot of things come and go over that time.

      He has a knack for coaching people and explains how to be on your best game, whether you are in practice mode or in the real game in front of a crowd and how to get your ideas out of your mind and into the field of play.  Todd also goes into depth on how the most important part of grabbing hold of your alter ego is that you want to emotionally connect with it as well as with whoever is your inspiration for your alter ego.

      Todd has also coached thousands of people, including top athletes, performers and entrepreneurs over the years and has helped them, sometimes on short notice, to step up their game, both literally and figuratively. He talks about his new book and offers tips on how to access your alter ego to finally become the person that you want to be.

      Todd encourages everyone to regain their sense of playfulness that we all had as kids in order to find the zone and tap into your preferred identity as well as creating and maintaining healthy relationships which lead to an overall and meaningful life.

      “When you get the flash of creative inspiration, stab it immediately, otherwise you’ll lose it.” - Todd Herman

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How to use the power of alter ego and what it is
      • How to develop your own alter ego
      • One tactic that most people never use, but gets Todd customers for life
      • How to turn your alter ego on and off at will
      • How to get over imposter syndrome
      • What Todd did as a football athlete to create a winning environment for himself
      • Alter egos of famous people he has worked with
      • Why participating in individual sports is even more important than team sports
      • Why building a game plan is one of the key things to create if you are an entrepreneur
      • How a simple pair of glasses can help banish rejection
      • And much, more more!

Twenty years ago, Nicholas Kusmich was doing just that and was looking for ways to supplement his income. So he started an online business which leads to internet marketing, creation of an ebook, and then a course.

       

      Present day, Nicholas runs intensive classes as well as runs an agency that helps businesses with Facebook consulting. He focuses on how to get someone off Facebook, what lead magnets should be used to get them on a list, and how to retarget them later.  He also explains how Facebook is still the most underpriced, direct response place to advertise among all the other channels.

       

      Nicholas has great insights about Facebook advertising where he goes beyond content marketing and dives into how to create a great “godfather” offer, i.e. something so good you can’t refuse. His enthusiasm for advertising is contagious and it’s no wonder he is one of today’s leading Facebook ads strategists.  

       

      “Most people ignore the cheetahs and the tortoises. Your cheetah is the trick to profits early on and the tortoise is the trick to real profitability.” - Nicholas Kusmich

       

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

       

      • How to run the ads and this episode will teach you where to send all that traffic and you’ll be good to go
      • A resource for uploading podcast data to Facebook
      • How to position an offer to all types of potential buyers

At the age of 23, he declared to his fellow employees that he would be their boss within 5 years. After accomplishing that, he realized he was not meant to be an employee and went on to learn traffic secrets from John Reese, which enabled him to quit his job and create a business that did $3.5 million the following year.

      Jason has a knack for teaching others, and it was a natural transition to the creation of Amazing.com where he and his business partner, Matt Clark have taught over 30,000 students how to build a successful Amazon business.

      Jason discusses the difference between running your business vs. leading your business, how to effectively get to a point where you can start to outsource simpler jobs to focus on more important tasks, and how to scale up. Jason has been a successful Amazon seller for years and has great insight on how to sell on Amazon today as things are always changing on the ecommerce platform.

      “You have to be able to run and lead your business - don’t rely on other people, they don’t have your vision.” - Jason Katzenback

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      • How Jason met his co-founder which led to the creation of Amazing.com.
      • Why it’s important to have complete belief in your own product.
      • How to scale your team up effectively and how to know which people to hire next.
      • The formula he learned from Todd Herman on how to segment your time efficiently.
      • Tips and insights as to what it take to be a successful seller on Amazon right now.
      • How he was able to grab the incredible domain name Amazing.com.
      • The important difference between leading your business vs. running your business.
      • How to document your tasks to make it easier to outsource.

      ]]>From an early age, Jason has been a born leader. At the age of 23, he declared to his fellow employees that he would be their boss within 5 years. After accomplishing that, he realized he was not meant to be an employee and went on to learn traffic secrets from John Reese, which enabled him to quit his job and create a business that did $3.5 million the following year.

      Jason has a knack for teaching others, and it was a natural transition to the creation of Amazing.com where he and his business partner, Matt Clark have taught over 30,000 students how to build a successful Amazon business.

      Jason discusses the difference between running your business vs. leading your business, how to effectively get to a point where you can start to outsource simpler jobs to focus on more important tasks, and how to scale up. Jason has been a successful Amazon seller for years and has great insight on how to sell on Amazon today as things are always changing on the ecommerce platform.

Over the next year, he struggled to keep up with the work. He needed a way out, so he started making his own content.

The finances, lawyers, and buyers were all wearing him out, so he decided to give CBD (the non-psychoactive chemical found in hemp plants) a try. Results were so immediate that he knew exactly what business he was going to start building next.

      Caleb is a father of three kids and ultra-marathon runner. After trying CBD for the first time his stress melted away and he found relief from the pain of his chronic injury. He founded Hemp Daddy’s to bring the healing power of CBD to those struggling with chronic issues like inflammation, anxiety, depression, and much more.

      Not every industry is welcome on Google and Facebook. Listen in as Caleb shows Matt and Joe 5 ways to market taboo products without the aid of big platforms, segmenting your audiences without special links, and the tech stack to manage everything yourself. When you’re done, check out our conversations with Mike Michalowicz and Nate Broughton for more advice about building a business from scratch.

      “I see everyone complaining and moaning... When is Facebook going to allow CBD? Maybe they'll never allow it, so you don't need to sit around waiting.” -Caleb Simpson

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:
      • The many health benefits of CBD, both mental and physical
      • How to market a product that’s good for everyone
      • Experiments to find the right CBD dosage

That’s when he decided to dive into the fledgling world of online marketing and ended up defining its future.

      “If you don’t know who Perry Marshall is — unforgivable,” says Dan Kennedy and he’s right. Perry’s books have laid the foundations for what is now the Pay Per Click industry, and techniques he pioneered are now standard best practices for every business. He has been endorsed in FORBES and INC Magazine and is one of the most expensive business consultants in the world.

      Gear up for the latest wisdom from a living legend as Perry shares about the deep fractal insights of the 80/20 mindset, finding a path to utilize your strengths, and the 8 axis test that shows the best way to sell. After the episode, get more advice about finding your success from Brad Spencer and Marx Acosta-Rubio.

      “There's innumerable ways that people get themselves into situations where their strength actually is a weakness.” -Perry Marshall

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:
      • How to really connect with a cold audience
      • Sales letter wisdom that works for landing pages too
      • Getting on the path to claiming your greatest strength
      • The 8 axis test that shows how people sell
      • Copywriter vs Hostage Negotiator: Which one are you?
      • One thing all successful products have in common
      • Tips to cut the distance between desire and fulfillment
      • A formula for disrupting the marketplace (it isn’t about being an anarchist!)
      • The 1 or 2 points that can shift people’s thinking
      • Industries that are about to be completely automated
      • Why 80/20 is fractal and how that applies to business decisions (and to life)
      • How to harness the 20% of your 80/20

He worked with a friend to sell his app and got hooked on designing the perfect funnel to bring in customers. That’s when he stopped developing and went full throttle into marketing.

      Now Stephen is a leading sales funnel expert who specializes in content marketing using purely SEO strategies. He used to be the head of content marketing at Clickfunnels before building multiple media brands of his own. And he is sharing his knowledge with thousands of entrepreneurs through his website, podcast, and the events he organizes in his home city of Melbourne.

      Get ready to update your system as Stephen shows Matt and Joe how to create epic content, start a media brand from scratch, and planning the exact right time to make your exit. When you’re done, go get even more content strategies from our conversations with Brian Dean and David Sinick.

      “I wanted to build an asset rather than just a funnel because a funnel should be a part of the brand, it shouldn't just be a standalone thing.” -Stephen Esketzis

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:
      • Why media ecosystems net more profit than funnels
      • The 1 thing your SEO strategy needs (you can forget the rest!)

But how to start one himself? On a whim, he started a group on LinkedIn for entrepreneurs. When he checked in months later there were over 100,000 members begging him to do something. So he did.

      Liam has launched and hosted 14 virtual summits and interviewed over 400 experts. He is the co-founder of Entrepreneurs HQ, which delivers one marketing tactic from a proven entrepreneur to your inbox daily. His mission is to make it easy for anyone to learn and utilize the strategies of proven entrepreneurs for their business.

      Promoting a summit is barely more work than a webinar, so why not go big? Join Matt and Joe as Liam shows them exactly why virtual summits generate audiences that webinars can only dream of and his simple, foolproof system to launch a summit in just 90 days. When you’re done, turn this episode into a webinar masterclass and follow up with Casey Zeman and Joel Erway.

      “The biggest benefit of a summit is not the money… the reason you're doing a summit is to build up your network, your email list, and an audience to ultimately take them down a path with you.” -Liam Austin

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:
      • How to build a 100,000 member group on LinkedIn
      • Why virtual summits are way less work than webinars (and a better value for you and your audience)
      • A system to turn one summit into a year of evergreen content

      • How to easily manage 30+ speakers and not burn out
      • Timing your summit for the best market impact
      • What gets real revenue out of your summit (it’s not tickets!)

They talked for hours about what truly mattered to them. That’s when he decided to make sure his next fortune was for his family to get everything they really wanted.

      Marx dropped out of law school to become an entrepreneur and started one of the fastest growing companies in the United States. He’s gone from rags to riches to rags to riches again and learned along the way what real success looks like.

Still want more? Go check out our previous conversation with Marx and get more tricks to rewire your brain with Dr. Steve Ruden.

He set off on a 27-week road trip to figure out what to do next. As he drove, he got invitations to speak about the marketing he had been doing on Facebook. So kept driving and speaking and that road trip lasted over 3 years.

      Now Scott (aka “the Note Guy) has helped thousands of other real estate investors come to the sexy side of investing by plunging into the world of non-performing notes and looking to “rehab the borrower”. He is also a highly sought after speaker on distressed debt and has been featured in Investor’s Business Daily and The Wall Street Journal.

      Listen in as Scott shares with guys his systems to make tons of content from a single video, automated email campaigns that run for years, and the best ways to invest in real estate. When you’re done, go check out our conversation with Cory Boatright for more about real estate investing and more PR advice from Andrew O’Brien.

When you’re done get some more advice about selling and acquiring businesses from our conversations with Carl Allen and Roland Frasier.

He tried doing speaking events, some consulting, but it all felt boring until an influencer asked him to help with their social media brand. Within a month, he hit six figures and was finally building a team he was excited to work with.

      Los is a master team builder. He knows how to hire the right people (not “experts”), train them to excel, and build a workplace that everyone can’t wait to get to in the morning. With his business, he has brought over 5 social media brands way past the 7 figure mark using his own processes to leverage content, influencers, and culture.

      This episode is like a twofer as Los Silva shares with Matt and Joe both how to build an awesome team and crush it on social media using his processes to train “blank slate” employees, leveraging social content and an influencer’s audience. When you’re done, get some more advice about hiring from Tim Francis and content production with Travis Houston.

      “I can’t grow without people, that’s always been my logic… I’ve done every job here and everyone here is way better than me now, by far.” -Los Silva

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:
      • Why long distance relationships don’t work (even in business)
      • The leverage you need before you can scale on social media
      • 3 things to know before your next hire
      • Why “blank slates” are better for your team than “experts”
      • How to share the wealth and have a team that’d work for free
      • Advice for making a fulfilling work culture (not just jobs!)
      • The best service to do your customer support
      • How to manage Influencer Burnout and get on track
      • The most effective content on Instagram right now
      • Keeping your offers “super chill” (it’s how customers like ‘em)
      • An easy hack to build your audience from scratch
      • The one type of account you must focus on
      • Getting every employee to have fun making content

His work as a minister could no longer pay the bills, so he joined a friend in a new web venture to make ends meet. He was an entrepreneur out of necessity, but it tapped into something at his very core.

      Michael still loves pastoring, but now he mostly does it with fellow entrepreneurs. He founded jumbleThink to continue his passion by helping people and businesses use their innate creativity, ideas, and sound strategies to attain their dreams. He is an expert at breaking old, calcified thought patterns and using sustainable experiments to craft a better future for you and your business.

      Listen in as the guys get some actionable methods to start finding your best ideas, gaining the perspective to turn a big fail into a mega win, and using micro-experiment to improve both your life and business. If you’d like to hear more about jump-starting your path to your dreams, check out our conversations with Brad Spencer and Ori Bengal.

      “Simple is usually what the customer wants and if you can solve their problem then you’re going to have market share… the problem is most people solving it are over complicating it for the customer. Just make it easy for me!” -Michael Woodward

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:
      • Making your business simple to maximize profits (and your sanity)
      • How to keep perspective and stop missing what’s obvious
      • Knowing when you’re a slave to your creation because it’s time to pivot

      • How to stop aborting your best ideas too soon

Don’t worry, a round 3 is already in the works!

      For those not in the know, Roland is a world-famous dealmaker who started in real-estate when he was 18 and now advises over 150 major companies on how to monetize and grow their businesses.

      We are still trying to digest the wealth of actionable advice Roland dropped on us in this hour, like how to plan a multi-exit strategy for that big payday, selling one company to scale all your other companies, and buying a huge, targeted audience for practically nothing. After you’re done, you’ll definitely want to check out our previous episode with Roland Frasier, then follow up with Carl Allen.

      “I don’t think there’s a faster way to get into a business... or to grow your business than to buy one that already has what you want.” -Roland Frasier

      • Breaking news about The Traffic & Conversion Summit!

      • Mining potential buyers for your business goals

      ]]>There’s never enough time to get all the knowledge Roland Frasier has bubbling off his brainpan, so we had to bring him on for another round for advice about acquiring companies to effectively scale your business no matter what stage you’re at. Don’t worry, a round 3 is already in the works!

      For those not in the know, Roland is a world-famous dealmaker who started in real-estate when he was 18 and now advises over 150 major companies on how to monetize and grow their businesses. He is also passionate about entrepreneurs and gives them the tools and knowledge they need through DigitalMarketer.com and The Traffic & Conversion Summit, which we attend religiously every year.

After you’re done, you’ll definitely want to check out our previous episode with Roland Frasier, then follow up with Carl Allen.

That’s when he encountered the 3 questions that made him restructure both his business and his life.

He helps businesses connect the dots, see their blind-spots, and get unstuck by implementing unique sales & marketing systems.

When you’re done listening, get some more marketing strategies from Billy Gene Shaw and Curt Maly.

      • Why trying to be “better” puts your business at risk
      • How small businesses can generate buying climates (just like Apple or Starbucks!)
      • A tip to make your elevator pitch simple and insanely effective
      • The 3 critical questions that define your business and your humanity
      • Why “people pleasing” prevents you from scaling
      • A new tactic to get breakthrough traffic
      • The 2 elements you need to magnify your results
      • A rule to follow when choosing different opportunities
      • “Avail-Ability” is what it all comes down to
      • CHAMPION: The values for a successful life (and for your business)

Eventually, Apple moseyed over and kicked them out for being too spammy. They had lost their business, but they still had their idea.

      Lee and Justin turned to their love of optimal and minimalist living and asked their favorite writers for permission to make a daily, highly polished podcast from their work. That podcast was such a hit they started 4 more. Now The Optimal Living Daily podcast network is often ranked #1 on iTunes for health, with over 77 million downloads and counting.

      Listen in as Lee Rankinen and Justin Malik compare notes with Matt and Joe about how to monetize your podcast, overcome your anxieties to get on stage, and their many tips and tricks to automate your content production. After you’re done, check out our talks with Nick Loper and Tim Francis to learn more about automating your business to free up your life.

      “If the content is really good I don’t care who wrote it. If someone has a blog with 1 follower but their content is gold, I would much rather have that.” - Lee Rankinen

      ]]>The first successful business Justin Malik and Lee Rankinen started was reskinning pinball games for the iPhone, back in the old Wild West of the app world. Eventually, Apple moseyed over and kicked them out for being too spammy. They had lost their business, but they still had their idea.

      Lee and Justin turned to their love of optimal and minimalist living and asked their favorite writers for permission to make a daily, highly polished podcast from their work. That podcast was such a hit they started 4 more. Now The Optimal Living Daily podcast network is often ranked #1 on iTunes for health, with over 77 million downloads and counting.

      Listen in as Lee Rankinen and Justin Malik compare notes with Matt and Joe about how to monetize your podcast, overcome your anxieties to get on stage, and their many tips and tricks to automate your content production. After you’re done, check out our talks with Nick Loper and Tim Francis to learn more about automating your business to free up your life.

In exasperation, he suggested to his wife they sell everything and move to Bali. She had already been seriously thinking the same thing, so they did.

      To Dana’s surprise, his law partners wanted to keep the business going in his absence. On a tropical beach, working only a few hours a week, he was ending up with more even money in his pocket than before. That’s when he realized you can get off the wheel and find the work/life balance you’re craving. You just have to opt out.

      On this episode, the guys get practical (and legal) advice from Dana Robinson about how to keep your internet business above board, getting rid of the tasks and guilt that’s cramping your work, and why long vacations make your business more efficient. After this episode, get more advice about how to find lifestyle freedom with James Schramko and David Allen.

He had a great salary, but he was absolutely miserable. As a side gig, he started blogging about sales management to see if he make a better career happen.

      When a scandal broke at work, Ralph got pinned as the fall guy. He was out of a job and had to make his side gig bring in some real money. He decided to try advertising a client on Facebook. An hour later, traffic was pouring in and he knew he’d found the career he was looking for.

      Now Ralph is the CEO of Tier 11, an agency that specializes in Facebook and Instagram advertising. He manages a portfolio with an annual spend in excess of $50 million. Oh, he also happens to be the co-host of the wildly successful Perpetual Traffic Podcast too.

      Listen in as Matt and Joe pick Ralph Burns’s brain about ad strategies for Facebook and Instagram, what Facebook is working on to make targeting super easy, and why chatbot advertising is getting unbelievable response rates.

Within weeks his legs were so sore he was going to give up. A friend told him to give it another go, this time without his shoes.

      Steven’s pain disappeared as soon as he started running barefoot. He felt sure there must be other people suffering as he had. A day of research and building a simple website was all the proof he needed that minimalist shoes were much more than a viable business.

      Xero Shoes, the company Steven co-founded with his wife, Lena Phoenix, has gone on to create a revolution in athletic footwear that has left every major shoe company scrambling to catch up. And Steven knew from the start what his idea was worth, so much so that when he appeared on Shark Tank, he confidently turned down a $400,000 offer from Kevin O'Leary.

      Listen up as Steven Sashen lets Matt and Joe in on what it’s really like on the set of Shark Tank, how to know if you’re wearing the wrong shoes, and why you have to have the courage to analyze the data in order to know the real value of your business. When you’re done listening, you can learn more about how to analyze data from our talks with Chris Mercer and Scott Desgrosseilliers.

      “The extent to which they don’t think I’m a threat... is directly correlated to the size of the gaping hole in the market we can fill before anyone pays attention.” - Steven Sashen

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:
      • What professional actors know about lead gen
      • The best room in the house to put your Oscar Award
      • One way to become a top sprinter, even if you’re pushing fifty

      • Why fifty-year-old shoes are better than most new ones
      • How to move your brand into the mainstream

They decided to take the leap of starting their own business, though hadn’t even met each other yet, not until a mutual client pushed them into a meeting.

      Less than a month later, Anna & Flori already had six students signed for a life coaching program they hadn’t even finished writing yet. Fast forward three years and their business has grown beyond what they imagined possible – especially considering they have six (make that seven!) little ones between them. The best part? They have a 3-day work week that leaves plenty of time for family.

      • What you need to focus on when starting a business (hint: it isn’t marketing)

Over a hundred takes later he nailed it.

      Tom started out helping his clients manage their nerves while public speaking, then they were also asking him to produce their videos. He decided to form his own ad agency to promote clients with his videos. That quickly turned into his full-time career.

      Six years ago SEO changed and Tom started to see all his client’s revenue drop, so he went back to what he knew. He turned his videos into video ads on YouTube and salvaged his business. Now he’s CEO of Viewability, the highest spending for performance ad agency on YouTube.

      Join the guys as Tom gives them a crash course in how to make the perfect video ad for your audience, getting YouTube’s AI to work for you, and which ad strategy is best for your video. Round out this week’s episode by listening to more YouTube strategy with John Belcher and the power of video ads with Dennis Yu.

      ]]>Looking to make a video for his psychology practice’s website, Tom Breeze borrowed his parent’s camcorder. Over a hundred takes later he nailed it.

      Tom started out helping his clients manage their nerves while public speaking, then they were also asking him to produce their videos. He decided to form his own ad agency to promote clients with his videos. That quickly turned into his full-time career.

      Six years ago SEO changed and Tom started to see all his client’s revenue drop, so he went back to what he knew. He turned his videos into video ads on YouTube and salvaged his business. Now he’s CEO of Viewability, the highest spending for performance ad agency on YouTube.

      Join the guys as Tom gives them a crash course in how to make the perfect video ad for your audience, getting YouTube’s AI to work for you, and which ad strategy is best for your video. Round out this week’s episode by listening to more YouTube strategy with John Belcher and the power of video ads with Dennis Yu.

      You have to build a whole campaign around one video, not build a campaign and see what video fits.”- Tom Breeze

      It all starts with honing the right skills. After Caitlin unexpectedly lost her job as a court reporter proofreader, she jumped into expanding the freelance work she dabbled in while working her regular job. Within a year or so she was making about $40,000/year and feeling pretty good.

      Taking a 6-month leap into starting a blog she created an eBook with a live training component to teach others how to work from home as a proofreader. The feedback from this very small group of beta students helped her “go big” and launch a full-fledged eCourse a few short months later which grossed over $100,000 within the first 90 days. From then on, she was hooked on being an entrepreneur.

      Listen in as Caitlin shares her top secrets about how she made the quantum leaps forward in her business, money as a limitless resource, the role of generosity in your core business values, and using cannabis as a life-changing tool.

      If getting ahead in business is a strategy that speaks to you, look up this Christy Whitman episode on abundance and this Matt & Joe episode about giving away all your best stuff.

      “I’m playing the long game. I’m not just trying to save my money and keep as much of it as I can, I’m giving away as much as I can because it’s  always going to come back to me.”- Caitlin Pyle

      • How to shift out of scarcity mindset and define money as a limitless resource
      • The truth behind the statement that “problem” is a synonym for “opportunity”

      ]]>Where do high achieving business owners go to connect, learn and grow? With September Dohrmann at the helm, top performing entrepreneurs elect to gather at the CEO Space events she orchestrates.

      Interestingly enough, September does the week-long event orchestrating with a small team and a large side of business systems and checklists, even when it comes down to volunteers lending a hand.

      With her background in flipping real estate and running a salon, September was no stranger to clear communication and building systems that worked. So when the opportunity presented itself for her to become a coach with CEO Space 12 years ago after speaking to the owner, she jumped at the chance to be part of something bigger and give back.

      Listen in as September shares the nuts and bolts of growing a business using networking events, what it means to be a successful leader and how to properly systemize your business so it can run efficiently and effectively. If this episode has you itching for more organization and growth in your business life, be sure to check out what Samantha Riley and  Paul Lemberg have to add to the discussion.

      • What simplicity can teach you about your business
      • The true role of a good leader...And it doesn’t involve micromanagement

      • What does culture have to do with your business, and how to define yours
      • Ideal qualities of a great candidate to attend CEO Space events
      • Masterful advice on how to approach investors for your business

The fact that Dr. Steve Ruden and his brother Ronald have organically grown the practice of havening in 22 countries in eight languages in three years is nothing short of incredible.

      Flashback to 2004 when Dr. Ruden’s brother discovered the practice of TFT while in residency. He used it to cure a phobia of a staff member and was so inspired, he spent the next couple of hours working through perceived “traumas” or blocks of everyone on staff.

      For the next five years, the brothers worked on the neuroscience behind why a method such as TFT worked and developed havening, the method as it is known today. Havening is an alternative healing method to reframe the brain’s recollection of a traumatic or red flag event so that it can no longer negatively affect the behavior, health or emotional state of the patient when they are triggered by a current event that subconsciously recalls said trauma.    

      In today’s episode, we team up with Marx Acosta Rubio to discover what the havening practice is, how to shift out of limiting beliefs and into desired behaviors, and why this particular method of healing the brain works from a scientific perspective.   

      If this episode has you into ways you can shift your own mindset, be sure to check into Marx Acosta-Rubio’s episode on framing your mindset for success as well as David Allen’s episode about prioritizing the importance of what you choose to do on the daily.

      "People need to come to believe that change is possible. You can actually change the circumstances if you so desire to.”- Dr. Steven Ruden

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:
      • How does someone practice self-havening?
      • The scientific explanation behind why so many people are stuck in their limiting beliefs and how they can remove the roadblocks quickly
      • How havening works to change not only how people perceive things but how the body responds to things
      • The importance of the interconnectedness of the cortex, amygdala, neurons and glial cells to mapping new behaviors
      • Who pitches underhand lob and who throws the grenades?
      • Marx says he was sparring, not fighting when havening saved the day
      • Why does havening supercharge affirmations?
      • In order for change to occur, one first has to believe this
      • How to practice self-havening at the start of your day and foster greater resilience
      • The two layers surrounding your values that are important for awareness and change
      • How to use words to create the lense of your perception that you desire
      • The differences between havening and EFT
      • People who are best served with a havening session or a self-havening practice
      • The seven havening subsets practitioners use to treat traumatic blocks
      • Definition of a red flag event and why it is such a powerful behavior modifier
      • Yet another reason why calcium is important for a healthy body

      Naturally, if you haven’t read one of this best selling author’s many entertaining and educational books on how to do just that, you’d ask why you’d listen to Mike in the first place.

      By the time he was 35, he’d founded and sold two multi-million dollar businesses, turned angel investor, lost all his profits, and has since launched a third million dollar business, so he’s got the CV to back up his advice.  

      Listen in as Mike teaches us all about the queen bee role, the 4 D’s, and how to take a four week vacation from your business. If this episode shook loose some action steps that need tending to, follow up with Tim Francis on hiring the right key players and Paul Lemberg on setting business goals.

      "I think people are thinking we’ve got to work harder and harder and that is a fallacy. We need to think smarter and smarter. That’s the goal.”- Mike Michalowicz

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:
      • Quit fighting, you both get credit for introducing Mike to each other guys…
      • Who started that signature white suit first? Colonel Sanders, Dr. John Hammond or Michael Gerber?
      • Matt describes Clockwork as the actionable E-Myth
      • That story about Frank the mentor and the rusty lawn chair though
      • What is a brand promise and how does it relate to a QBR (Queen Bee Role)
      • This is not the QBR of the San Diego Padres
      • What is the cram and scramble and why it’s the frenemy of small business owners
      • How to flip the script on ego and guilt, the two killers of business self-sufficiency
      • Not to be confused with the work-ation, for longer stints away from the “office” desk
      • Seriously, if someone sculpted a naked guy and it’s one of the most recognizable pieces in art history, as a business owner, doing this is vital
      • The 4 D’s of business ownership and how to use them to take four week vacations
      • An effective strategy to make the leap into “spending” on your first (or next) employee
      • The subtle difference between deciding and delegating and why you need to master the second as quickly as possible
      • Why supporting an employee’s bad decision is a good practice

And they call it AI.

      Paul made the decision to tap into existing AI frameworks in place with companies like Google and Amazon in order to use the technology to help content marketers recycle content more quickly using transcription. An unexpected benefit were some larger corporations choosing to use the software to create training manuals and first time online course creators jumping onboard to develop their lessons.

      Other topics the guys took on include the battle of coffee over tea, how to create a good lead magnet and using Amazon as both a source of traffic and as a tool to create good eBook titles. If you just can’t get enough of Paul and the guys (no, not The Beatles), be sure to check out the Round 1 episode as well as Matt’s post on the many creative ways to use Designrr to grow a list and make more sales.

      "It comes down to an old thing called modalitites...People consume content in different ways.”- Paul Clifford

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:

      ]]>Round two with this SaaS creator was in order now that Paul Clifford and his team just released a major time and money saving option to his already highly successful Designrr software. And they call it AI.

      Paul made the decision to tap into existing AI frameworks in place with companies like Google and Amazon in order to use the technology to help content marketers recycle content more quickly using transcription. An unexpected benefit were some larger corporations choosing to use the software to create training manuals and first time online course creators jumping onboard to develop their lessons.

      Other topics the guys took on include the battle of coffee over tea, how to create a good lead magnet and using Amazon as both a source of traffic and as a tool to create good eBook titles. If you just can’t get enough of Paul and the guys (no, not The Beatles), be sure to check out the Round 1 episode as well as Matt’s post on the many creative ways to use Designrr to grow a list and make more sales.

      Kevin waved goodbye to high school before getting his diploma. As the “funny” and awkward guy all through school who could always get a laugh, he ditched sacking groceries and detailing cars to go on the road as a comedian. For the next 12 years, he got to work alongside some greats including Chris Rock, Louis CK, and Billy Gardell to name a few. The only problem was, he saw so many who’d been beating the pavement for too long be unsuccessful at making it big who became bitter, and he knew he didn’t want that.

      Naturally, Kevin left to find jobs that didn’t require much of a resume because of his lack of education and his extended stint in stand-up. At that time, a good friend decided to take him under his wing and brought him into copywriting for timeshares where Kevin found his natural storytelling ability was put to great use. Soon after, Kevin created his own course and become one of the most prolific connectors of solid copywriters with the business owners who need them.

      Speaking of stories, some of the topics on the mic in this episode include how to write a good hook, the three zones of audience awareness, and how to find the best copywriter to fulfill your needs.

Thankfully for John Belcher it was sales.

      It wasn’t just any sales career to start for John. He chose to work as a medical equipment sales rep in facial trauma and spinal injury surgical equipment that taught him the importance of being able to express your value clearly. He naturally gravitated to the teaching and training of medical staff on the use of the equipment he sold.

      After a few years, John made the leap over to the digital world as a sales consultant for Google’s ad network. While he enjoyed the “techie” aspect of it all, he longed to be able to dive deeper with his clients to help them understand the process of utilizing paid traffic to its fullest.

      Figuring out his true path was teaching, John decided it was time to do ad consulting on his own in an environment where he could provide what he considered to be real value to his clients, time. He found Justin and Chaunna Brooke, bought a course on managing traffic from them and knew he was listening to the right people. Not long after becoming a customer, John reached out to become an instructor for them on Google ads. An easy merger into partnership followed soon afterwards and AdSkills was born.   

      In today’s episode, listen in as John reveals the seven pitfalls of paid traffic, where you should start when considering running YouTube ads, and the importance of waterfalls in your retargeting campaigns. If this episode helps you make headway in paid traffic, tune in to Billy Gene Shaw’s episode to learn  how he structures his YouTube  ads and Dennis Yu’s episode to understand more about the power of video ads at the top of your sales funnel.

      If you just come in every day and put in your efforts, any goal that you set you should be able to smash.”- John Belcher

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:
      • How owning your part in the process of running paid ads results in developing realistic expectations
      • Again with the Dan Ryan shout out? Seriously Blue Eyes, where’s your ad?
      • Techie knowhow + great storytelling=The perfect recipe for ad conversion success
      • What is a profitable population density, and why you should consider it
      • Always, always, always utilize the five stages of awareness to uplevel your conversions
      • Should you let your chosen ad network decide how to spend your money?
      • This is the type of audience you should dedicate the bulk of your ad spend on, no matter which ad platform you use
      • How custom intent and super niche B2C offers can still crush it on a $5/day ad spend on YouTube
      • Shocking results of Zero Targeting on YouTube for CPA and conversion rates
      • Why tracking your organic traffic while running a YouTube ad campaign can be an eye opener regarding your campaign effectiveness

Tim Francis and his journey are living testimony to the colossal impact of lucid thinking.

      Tim’s story began like many other entrepreneurs. He grew his business beyond his ability to get things done and took on an assistant to help him scale. He searched all the greatest places for “inexpensive” virtual help, from India to Russia, and most places in between.  The problem was the time it didn’t save him and the quality control he couldn’t have.

      So, one after another, Tim got frustrated with his hired help and ended up taking back over “task” work and the grind went from 70 hour work weeks to 90 or more hours. Soon after entered the loss of clients’ capital in the stock market and real estate crash of 2008, hiring the wrong and extremely expensive “entrepreneurial” mentor, and a seriously painful illness that landed him back in his parents’ home recuperating. This was exactly what he needed to get to his own “moment.”

      Listen in to hear more about Tim’s mindset shift from consumer to producer, advice on how to hire the right people at the right time to grow and scale your business, and how to think of your newfound assistant as a revenue stream instead of a business expense. If the takeaways in this episode resonate with your current state of systems or team building, be sure to check out tips from Samantha Riley and Josh Bartlett too.

Thankfully, David Allen took that question to heart and the Getting Things Done (GTD) method was allowed to be born.

      After years of field research on productivity, David scored a position with his own productivity mentor, Dean, by handing over a referral to his newfound teacher. Partnering up to experience Dean’s “personal information management” system first hand gave David all the inspiration he needed to create GTD.

      In this episode, special guest host Marx Acosta Rubio joins in to uncover David’s five-step GTD method, advice on discovering your true life’s purpose, definition of productivity, and beliefs about the link between productivity and spiritual discovery.

      ]]>One simple question took a 9-year-old boy from wanting to be President of the United States to a completely different path of enlightening millions. Thankfully, David Allen took that question to heart and the Getting Things Done (GTD) method was allowed to be born.

      After years of field research on productivity, David scored a position with his own productivity mentor, Dean, by handing over a referral to his newfound teacher. Partnering up to experience Dean’s “personal information management” system first hand gave David all the inspiration he needed to create GTD.

If you’re Ben Adkins, in just six months you become number one of course!

      Ben decided he wanted to pursue a chiropractic career because he had a great one himself who helped him relieve recurring headaches back in 3rd grade. What he didn’t realize when he made this choice was building a practice didn’t automatically mean “they” would come.

      With more time on his hands than patients to tend to (or money to market with), Ben focused on learning online marketing strategies to build his local practice.  In the process, magic happened. He built a recurring source of mostly passive income helping other local businesses market themselves and discovered the importance of building his own brand while doing it.

      Listen in as the guys get the goods on Ben’s four-day product launch process, three-legged traffic strategy, and two monetization models that convinced Ben to shift from spinal adjustments to online teaching as the highest and best use of his time. If brand-building or local business marketing are areas where you could use an assist, check out this chat with Marshall Wayne and this episode with Christine McDannel.

      "What you fail to realize when you’re young and starry-eyed is that once you get out and open your doors is that not everybody’s just gonna rush through the door.”- Ben Adkins

And in this day and age, no matter how big or successful you believe you are in your online business unless you’re willing to entertain first, you’ll go the way of the dinosaur (before the Jurassic Park storyline brought them back to life anyway). At least, that’s Billy Gene Shaw’s motto.

      From the looks of things, Billy Gene’s onto something. He’s the man that missed out on a college degree by not completing one course to go to Cabo with an ex. He moved on to fail at a mobile oil changing business next. After that came learning the most marketable of all skills at of his next jobs with an agency-marketing of course.

      While getting paid to learn how to help businesses grow, Billy Gene saw the real money was in growing an online business, so he jumped in and learned how to market his first online course in quitting smoking and drinking. What he learned there and at his day job helped him to build the online mecca known today by many entrepreneurs as THE GUY of YouTube video ads.  

      Tune in as the conversation gets deep, not wide about the three-step process to kill it with online video ad campaigns, running traffic to the right place on YouTube, and three things to include in every video you shoot to build your brand and sell more stuff. Once you’re all set and get Billy Gene’s tips into action, be sure to parallel park Dennis Yu’s Facebook video strategy alongside it to get more bang for your branding buck. And, if you really want to be seen everywhere by your prospect, check into our qualified traffic episode to nail it down the rest of the way.

By his own admission, he hardly knew how to send an email. After the market crashed in 2008 though, when faced with the decision of flipping burgers or learning Google ads, thankfully he chose the later.

      A believer in his own advice, Vince decided to “learn by doing,” sold a bunch of furniture and computers from his recently closed business out of his garage, and dove in feet first. He clicked on an ad to learn how to make money online, and he’s been in the business of helping others build their businesses ever since.

      You can find Vince running a full-service digital agency to help others get more traffic, convert more leads and make more money following a strategy that can be optimized and scaled.

      ]]>If you knew Vince Reed back in the day when he owned his real estate brokerage, you likely never would have guessed he‘d make the big leap into online business. By his own admission, he hardly knew how to send an email. After the market crashed in 2008 though, when faced with the decision of flipping burgers or learning Google ads, thankfully he chose the later.

      A believer in his own advice, Vince decided to “learn by doing,” sold a bunch of furniture and computers from his recently closed business out of his garage, and dove in feet first. He clicked on an ad to learn how to make money online, and he’s been in the business of helping others build their businesses ever since.

      You can find Vince running a full-service digital agency to help others get more traffic, convert more leads and make more money following a strategy that can be optimized and scaled. He’s an avid participant in live events to help train business owners to do the same. And, if you’re really lucky, you may catch him at his own Internet Traffic Live event that he’s hosting for the fifth and final time in 2019 (with previous guest speakers like Roland Frasier, Billy Gene Shaw, and Russell Brunson to name just a few).

A chance meeting with Pete Egoscue and a hook-up with Tony Robbins in the early nineties were the only two cues Brian Bradley needed to join the new healing movement right alongside them.

      After completing his degree in physical science and a focus in nutrition, Brian became the head ambassador to the low-intensity body movement system coined the Egoscue Method with Pete. Over the past 26 years, he’s trained professional athletes in the NFL, MLF and PGA and countless others to help overcome their pain and perform at their peak.

      As a pioneer in the functional movement, Brian has taken Pete’s unique method to The Patch, an exercise facility aimed at balancing the human body to give it the best chance to function most effectively. If you’re stuck in your chair building your empire, tune in for Brian’s easy five-minute workout to get you prepared for your “sitting as a sport” day.

      If Brian got you up and out of your chair in this episode, listen in on Marx Acusto-Rubio’s episode when the guys first got introduced to the concept.  Also, while you’re contemplating mindset, this post Joe wrote about motivation is worth a quick look too.

      “It’s my job to get people out of their head and into their heart about what they should trust about the human body.”- Brian Bradley

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:
      • How a baby and a bin of rice caused the creation of the Egoscue Method
      • What to do when you get sick and tired of feeling sick and tired and you can’t buy your way out of it
      • How to think of sitting as a sport instead of the new smoking
      • A simple fix for billions should be this to be effective
      • Don’t just sit there and listen, stand up and join in (unless you’re driving)
      • Shift from a hope of getting well into an event of getting well if you ever want to get past your pain
      • Once you see injury as this, you’ll start the healing process
      • Why barefoot is better than crossfit
      • How to keep yourself off the pills and in the chair effectively making hella gains in your business
      • Some words of advice for Tiger Woods (you can definitely use on the course as well)
      • Experience how your mind changes your emotion, buy using your body as the catalyst to do it first hand
      • Do this to sleep through the night if you’re a chronic snorer
      • Be able to ride the lower waves in your business until the big ones come in again by taking care of this

Think it’s even possible for an online marketer? If not, Mike Filsaime, the car salesman turned online marketing pioneer will be the first to tell you how it’s done (since he’s the second guy in online history to ever do it).

      Flashback to the mid-eighties when Mike first learned how to write code after high school. He quickly turned a small bit of state-specific code into something he could modify for multiple states and sold the rights for a tidy profit. That was his first taste of turning a profit with software, one he would enjoy again soon enough following in the footsteps of John Reese.

      Take your time with this episode and you’ll learn about what it takes to turn out great conversions with your webinars, why a launch model isn’t the best business model and the four quadrant approach to deciding which SaaS you should dive into developing. If you like what Mike has to say, you may find they pair well with some helpful tips from Mike Matuz’s episode and  Joe’s take on creating the perfect webinar flow.

      I always tell people, you don’t market in a debate format.”- Mike Filsaime

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:
      • The fine art of influence and why it matters
      • Hands down the most important skill to sell something online
      • How to leverage a support desk and tools you use to create a new SaaS product
      • Matt’s warning about the consequences of good copy without this
      • How to never tell your affiliates about your payment program and still get them to sell for you like gangbusters
      • These 5 KPIs are what make a webinar the most successful
      • Did somebody say Snoop Dog was in the house?
      • The baffling reality of what a pre-order really gets your client yet how much more it delivers during your “grand opening”
      • The highest and best use of a launch
      • If you’re still offering webinar replays, reconsider doing this instead
      • How to spot the Coca-Cola and deliver the Pepsi online

This cast of characters that freely pursued their passions, unchained from an office desk was exactly the group Roland Frasier decided to emulate.  

      Interestingly enough, Roland’s entrepreneurial path developed into a highly strategic buying, selling and scaling business. He started in real estate, moved on to accounting school and got his law degree all while building his assets. Turning down the opportunity to continue his law degree with a specialization in securities was one of the most prolific decisions he made in pursuit of his non-desk jockey childhood aspiration.

      Need proof? Roland is a co-founder or principal of three of Inc. Magazine's current fastest growing companies and he’s responsible for creating, scaling or selling 24 different 7 to 9 figure businesses with adjusted sales ranging from $3 million to $337 million. 

      While this episode will definitely result in a “Round 2” follow-up it’s so packed full, listen in as Joe and Matt learn about the growth idea scorecard system Roland and his partners at Digital Marketer use every day to determine the best business opportunities to pursue. If business systems are all the rage for you right now, be sure to check out this podcast episode with Matt and Joe and this one with AJ Roberts.

      You give and help people out without any expectation of anything in return and it just always comes back 100 fold.”- Roland Frasier

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:
      • How do you sell a mastermind, and when would you do it?
      • This is the best marketing medium to use to sell to your audience and rabid fans
      • How $20/day can net you $50,000 in four days
      • Use these five principles to decide if a business opportunity might benefit you
      • Build, buy or cobble?
      • Evergreen your earnings in any niche if you focus on this
      • What exactly is ICE analysis?
      • A case study in leverage, grow, scale and exit
      • How to “give it away,” make more, reduce churn and get referrals in the process
      • Use this system to learn how to pivot like the pros with your business model
      • The best way to connect with people with who you’d like to pursue a business partnership
      • This one move with your product offerings can get banks begging to give you more money
      • Use this higher ROI and frictionless strategy to fill seats  with buyers at your next live event

In fact, Phil Town actually started his humble career as a portfolio manager and value-investing master as a Grand Canyon tour guide looking to escape the cold autumn nights inside his teepee in Flagstaff.

      Phil definitely became a force to be reconned with, and fast. In five years flat, following four simple rules, he turned $1,000 into a cool $1.5 million.

      From intern to author, and on to speaker, Phil spent the last decade teaching others the exact principles he uses so they can build their own wealth. While his first speaking gig may have landed his wife in jail, Phil, his wife and his team have come a long way since, teaching over 15,000 students at live events every year.

      Listen in as Joe and Matt learn how to move past the “head trash” many people face when they start the process of investing in the market. And, if this episode got you jazzed and ready to tackle the market, be sure to check out this day-trading episode with Jason Rotman, and Joe’s post about automated investing to build savings and wealth.

While it may have taken Rob Nunnery 10 years and two pain-filled “breakdowns” to figure it out, he most certainly has an answer.  And, it may not be one that you expect from this former technology driven junkie.

       

      In today’s episode, Rob explains how shutting off his money faucet at the beginning of 2017 was the proudest moment of his life. He also explains how the keys he found to freedom, peace and a happy life are all wrapped up into one word that to many of us seems like a long-lost art-presence.

       

      Listen in as we discover more about mindset, work-life balance, making aligned decisions, technology detox baby steps, and how to feel human again. If you enjoy listening to Rob’s version of how to get more present and pursuing your true passions, you’ll probably feel pretty aligned listening in on our recent episodes with Ori Bengal and Marx Acosta-Rubio.

      Today’s podcast was filled to the max by Marx. We’re not exaggerating when we say we could have gone on for at least twice as long in just this episode. Who doesn’t appreciate a story of a fall from grace to a stunning Phoenix-like rebirth?  

      With so much actionable mindset advice based on his own experience, it’s no wonder he’s got a bevy of GTD-ers lining up to take his 90-day challenge. As we listened to his business savvy around setting priorities, following the 80/20 principle and thriving in business, when Marx offered, we jumped at the chance to enroll in the challenge ourselves.

      We’re so busy these days getting out of our own way, we can’t imagine what’s next. This is a buckle down kind of episode. You may want to mark this one off in your schedule so you have enough time to take notes and develop a plan of action with all the takeaways hiding inside.

      If you like some of what Marx has to say, be sure to check out these past episodes with James Schramko and Christy Whitman that really hit home about gaining clarity, taking aligned action and abundance.

      You’re only one, two or three moves away from greatness or disaster.” - Marx Acosta-Rubio

      The reason I can have 14 clients and multiple companies...and still look like I’m doing nothing is because I know everything I’m not doing when I choose to do something...” - Marx Acosta-Rubio

      ]]>From millionaire to decamillionaire to broke and back again in a whole new way and faster than ever - those are some of the credentials that may get you interested in listening to what our guest Marx Acosta-Rubio has to say.

      Today’s podcast was filled to the max by Marx. We’re not exaggerating when we say we could have gone on for at least twice as long in just this episode. Who doesn’t appreciate a story of a fall from grace to a stunning Phoenix-like rebirth?  

      With so much actionable mindset advice based on his own experience, it’s no wonder he’s got a bevy of GTD-ers lining up to take his 90-day challenge. As we listened to his business savvy around setting priorities, following the 80/20 principle and thriving in business, when Marx offered, we jumped at the chance to enroll in the challenge ourselves.

      We’re so busy these days getting out of our own way, we can’t imagine what’s next. This is a buckle down kind of episode. You may want to mark this one off in your schedule so you have enough time to take notes and develop a plan of action with all the takeaways hiding inside.

      If you like some of what Marx has to say, be sure to check out these past episodes with James Schramko and Christy Whitman that really hit home about gaining clarity, taking aligned action and abundance.

Who in business hasn’t fallen down on that piece?

      Steve is a master of clarity and systemization, and that’s what he and his team help business owners achieve surrounding their messaging, processes, assets and goals. His goal is to help “old school” marketers, especially ones selling services, make the transitions into “new school” scalability.

      If he hadn’t been there himself wondering where his next check would come from while he was trying to grow his own business, he would not have such a successful system to share today. Between his two books, The Unstoppable CEO podcast, and his willingness to divulge some expert networking secrets, there’s plenty of actionable advice for any CEO looking to take the leap forward.

      Get some more “powder” for your networking keg from this previous podcast with John Corcoran, and realize the power networking affords from this episode featuring Joe and Matt you’ll be unstoppable in no time yourself.

They do this when they have a short time block in between recording all their podcasts for the month on their dedicated production day.

      What would you expect these two to talk about except their recent experience? They share great big nuggets of wisdom they’ve discovered since shifting their entire business model at the beginning of 2018. That’s when they stopped selling and started giving, and they’re not kidding when they say that. Basically, their current business model involves giving away their “secret sauce” about marketing. And yes, they still do make money.

      Want to know how that’s been working out for them? Just listen in to hear what’s literally been one of the best business decisions they’ve made in a very long time. Think FOMO (fear of missing out) meets, “You can’t hire us, we’re not for sale,” and what anybody totally enraptured by their methods would want to automatically do.

      Dive deeper into some of the relevant topics Joe and Matt discussed in this episode including the Evergreen Profits business model transition and how to make money without selling.

      Since both Joe and Matt had some great advice, today you get two quotes.

      “You’re sitting on way more value than you think you are, and I think the majority of people hold it way to tight” - Joe Fier

      “...The more we share for free, the more we just completely are an open book and are completely transparent about our strategies, the more people are fricking waving money at us going, I want to pay you. How do I pay you more money?” - Matt Wolfe

      Some Topics We Discussed Include:
      • Knock knock. Who’s there? Interrupting Joe.
      • Solo, duet? It’s all just semantics, right?
      • How Matt and Joe are like the Red Hot Chili Peppers (who also hail from California)
      • What Joe says is old school marketing and why these two are no longer marketing OG’s
      • The surest way to get noticed in business
      • Followed by the surest way to get lost in the crowd in business
      • Joe reveals how to know you’re doing something wrong in business
      • The problem with linear thinking
      • How to land a coveted spot on the speaker roster at The Hustle and Flowchart Podcast
      • What exactly is their “be everywhere” strategy and how does it work?

      For a grand total of $7,500 ($4,000 of which was on a credit card)... founder Travis Ketchum set out to solve his biggest challenge in growing an online business from scratch - something every small business needs to survive. His solution was to run a contest, but all available solutions at the time gave points to contestants for the act of sharing instead of giving an incentive for the actual opt-in.

       

      Contests instantly helped Travis add thousands of people to his email list, and the product launched to thousands of new customers within just a few months of entering the market.

Are you aware that these quizzes can be a very helpful marketing tool for your business especially in lead generation?

       

      Today’s guest is the owner of Interact, a quiz software company that has created quizzes for 30,000 brands around the world. Some of Josh Haynam’s clients include big corporations and organizations such as Starbucks, Evergreen profits, and famous individuals like Tony Robbins. Aside from being an innovative and creative marketing tool, the primary focus of the quizzes, according to Josh and his company, is always to educate.

       

      In today’s episode, Josh shares the encouraging story of how he persisted in sustaining his business and how he fine-tuned the content using different strategies while having so much hope.

He elaborates on being a visionary and doing this not only in your own business but also for other firms. AJ gives some great tips and advice as he also identifies the areas where most entrepreneurs get stuck, which are in their way of thinking and system management.

Even in his early days, Andy Hussong lived out this principle and cared enough about people to make different connections. His genuine interest in others has led him to what he’s great at today – setting up and landing online joint ventures (JV). Andy has been doing this for more than 12 years after learning from a very prominent personality in internet marketing, John Reese.

       

      In today’s episode, Andy talks about the essential business principles to remember when considering joint ventures and looking for prospective JV deals. Andy summarizes his ideas using two vital acronyms: P-A-R-T-N-E-R and P-O-W-E-R. He elaborates on the acronym P-A-R-T-N-E-R, which is a process that allows you to hone your focus and have a system to any matchmaking and deal-making ventures. It is the overall mindset you ought to have to get things in place and get long-term partners onboard. He also expanded on the acronym P-O-W-E-R, which is something to keep in mind if you want others to keep promoting a particular product or offer.

      “Your first goal, especially for webinars, is to focus on getting one solid partner on board, get him locked in and then you’re off to the races.” – Andy Hussong

       

      This Week on the Hustle and Flow Chart Podcast:

      • Andy’s “superpowers” and how these have been beneficial in landing JV deals

      • The building blocks to motivate others to continue promoting your products

A lot of people see these things from a negative standpoint because of the many stories they hear about individuals who abuse their drug use. With the recent reports that a well-known stimulant would be legalized for the treatment of cancer, now is the time to keep an open mind about the effects that these substances have on our bodies.

       

      In today’s episode, Joe shares with us his ”tea ceremony” experience – his ayahuasca intake in tea form under a controlled environment that was superintended by doctors and experts. Ayahuasca is a leaf known to have mind-altering effects on people who ingest it. Tim Ferris and Steve Jobs go through the same process as Joe did to unlock their unique creativity in them. More than a recreational activity, the “tea ceremony” is executed as a ritual that reflects a religious and spiritual experience to those who take part in it.

      It taught me to slow down, take a moment, deprioritize, and then act.

       

      This Week on the Hustle and Flow Chart Podcast:

      • The tea ceremony process
      • What ayahuasca is
      • Ayahuasca's effect on your brain
      • Defining the “enemy” in life
      • Effects on people who do this often
      • Impact on the life and business of individuals who undergo the ritual
      • Typical set up of a “tea ceremony,” things used, rules to follow, and the people and rituals involved in it

There was a time when only the big companies could publish a book. Those who wish to have their thoughts in a paperback are given a chance after going through a rigorous monitoring process and high writing standards. All these changed with the invention of the Internet, where many things became accessible and possible – even publishing a book.

       

      On today’s episode, we talk about our approach as we wrote a book about mindset tactics. The formula is systematic and easy to follow. We share several tools and resources that have been helpful to us and would also be useful in your endeavor to write and publish your book. 

      That’s really how you get [things] done – you set a deadline.

       

      This Week on the Hustle and Flow Chart Podcast:

      • How we created the Ever Green Wisdom book
      • The different phases that we went through as we started our book-writing efforts
      • How we maximized the resources already available, like blogs, emails, and previous podcasts
      • How to publish a book in a nutshell

Brad joins us on the show today to share his insight, system, and process for creating digital products such as webinars and online courses that will sell online for a significant return on investment.

      Brad’s 3-step process has repeatedly been proven, not only by his student’s successes but also through his business success. He is a passionate believer in the 80/20 rule that 20% of your efforts will lead to 80% of your results. In fact, he truly believes that as little as four percent of what you do will create most of your results.

       

      “If it’s easy to run, lots more will get done.” – Brad Spencer

       

      This week on the Hustle and Flow Chart Podcast:

      • Distraction and delusion are the two things that destroy wealth and success.
      • How to honestly self-evaluate your skills and know when to “buy or borrow” someone else’s experience.
      • Why being honest and specific about your true skill levels is critical to successfully launching a new product or service.
      • Don’t try to be a little bit of everything. Partner with people who have the other stuff that you need.
      
      

      Brad’s 3 Step Process to Maximizing Success:

      3. Make a list. 1) How will you get customers? 2) How will you convert them? 3) How will you fulfill?
      4. Rate the probability of success for each idea on a scale of 1 to 10, with one signifying that you’ve never done it before and 10 signifying you’ve mastered the skill.
      5. Rate 777 across Lead Generation, Conversions, and Fulfillment. Don’t get distracted by other “shiny objects.” If you do not rate a 7 or higher in an area – buy or borrow someone else’s experience.

If you’re like most people, the first thing you think of is a live training. Our guest today, Drew Burks, is a funnel and automation expert that has discovered a way to help entrepreneurs automate the process of creating, delivering, and profiting from webinars.

      He calls this technique the “automated webinar,” and on today’s show, he explains what an automated webinar is, the difference between the traditional webinar and this new technique, and the advantages that business owners can experience by providing automated webinars to their target market. We also discuss how to plan and market webinars to the masses to drive traffic and increase sales, and the best practices for driving your webinar participants to the order form.

       

      “When you map it out and build it, you can lead the yellow brick road. You can lead them where you want to go.” – Drew Burks

      • What is an automated webinar and how does it differ from traditional webinars?
      • What are the benefits of hosting an automated webinar?

      • How to incorporate the “live” feel of a traditional webinar into an automated format.
      • Is the content portion as important as having a strong closing pitch?
      • Tips on how to host a good webinar that converts.
      • Tips for using Facebook Ads to drive traffic to your automated webinar.
      • Using YouTube videos to test a concept.
      
      

       

      5 Steps for Creating Automated Webinars:

      1. Figure out your current systems and processes.
      2. Figure out everything you will need for the webinar (blog posts, email campaigns, etc.). Chunk them.
      3. Figure out how you will get people to the webinar.
      4. Figure out what you want participants to do after the webinar – what you want them to buy.
