31:45 – I mean, that’s not a good way to do it, but it works. But then it’s something as simple as, Hey, make an FAQ section, right? What are frequently asked questions because you’re adding keyword content into your site that directly aligns with your brand, and, to your point, directly aligns with common customer complaints, questions, etc. You can still have that, but then, to your point, have the interactive model now available too for people who want to interact with something so they don’t want to click click and then go and read, great. Have the Chatgpt supported feature too, so you have it physically in there, but then you have the automated interaction component as well. 

48:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I would say, look at anything you’re doing. Look at all the wasted time. Look at something you could do more efficiently and find the right tool for it. You’d be shocked. Like one of the things we ran into an issue with recently is YouTube thumbnails are really important. Like, it’s one of the number one things that if you don’t have a good thumbnail, your CTR, your click through, rates gonna be terrible. So we actually went out and found a software. It’s an AI software called upscale any image, and it takes a terrible, low resolution image, and using AI, it scales it up and fixes the resolution. That’s a game changer. So look at things you’re doing. Look at just for image resolution, right? Just for image resolution, not for video. There is other software for video, but I’ve used a couple, and they’re not that good yet. So look at what you’re doing, and look at where you could do it better, and look where you need help, and look where you can get more efficient. You don’t have to do it the hard way. You know, work smarter, not harder. And I think there’s a lot of the right AI tools out there for that.

Timestamped Show Notes:

07:50 – Mail servers on their own are pretty stupid. It’s the stuff that you build on top of it that matters. So Google built this application layer on top of it, that sorts it all out and allows for that custom domain email universal platform for businesses. They have two advantages. One is that they’ve been doing this for a really, really long time. So they they’ve gotten pretty good just on their own building algorithms to say for example, hey that looks like spam! The second thing is now we’re getting into the age where you have Machine Learning aka AI aka Artificial Intelligence. What it is, is they are taking this giant data model, and you train it against the systems that build basically mathematical formulas that replicate the result you want. 

09:10 – This is all in software. So effectively, what you do is you set up your system and then you feed it. You say, here’s an email, it’s spam. Here’s another email, it’s spam. Here’s an email, it’s not spam. You send millions and billions of emails through to the end, what happens is when you send an email that you don’t know, it can come back and it can say this is 90% chance, it’s spam. So then you just have to decide how sensitive you want to be. The more you train it, the better it gets.

20:20 – The issue that I had was this CRM, it did a bunch of stuff, I could go I could cancel like four or five services, because they all could now get consolidated. So I was super excited. I start using it, and then it seemed okay, but the email deliverability was in the toilet. So they’re like, hey, look, you know, we have this tech expert that will go in and fix it for you. So I paid the extra to have the guy come in and fix it for me. So he comes in and fixes it and the deliverability gets better. It’s not where it was using the other system. But it wasn’t so bad that I just threw up my hands in disgust and walked away. 

30:30 – So I went back to Schedule Once, and you know that they’re cheap. So it’s not a big deal. But they’ll let you set up booking pages that all go to different calendars. That’s the kicker, and I have to set up like 10 of them for all the podcasts and everything else. Then I can use the Zoho calendar thing, because it’s already built into everything else, just for the stuff that involves just me.

42:15 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

The thing that I want to point out is that what your brand is, and that’s the embodiment of truth and backing up your words. In a lot of cases, it is the way you present yourself, part of your brand is I tried to work with them. They were hard to work with, so if I came through, and I said hey this is Company X, and I named them outright, and said, and their their customer service has been terrible. But they actually have built their brand on being good salespeople and brand people. They talk about this on their podcast, which they have, and how their customer service is part of your brand. It really just does not come across well, especially that fact that I’ve had so many issues with them.

Timestamped Show Notes:

08:50 – I have three number one rules of communication, and they’re all tied for number one. That’s why they’re all number one. One of them is, Everything Communicates and that’s one of the things that communicates. I’ll tell you kind of the converse of the story…

19:00 – Well, so we need to be strategic absolutely about communication, because, you know, how many times have you been there whether you’re in communications or not. You’re at work and somebody comes to you and says, oh, you know, we need to send out an email about XYZ. People’s minds, especially when it goes to communication, a lot of times just go to the tactic, we need an email, we need a meeting, we need a town hall, we need a video. 

23:25 – Tell them a story! That’s my third number one rule of communication, is to tell them a story. Why is that? Go back to caveman drawings. That’s just the natural way for humans to communicate and to relate to one another and to move one another, to action. Frankly, it’s not that tough, because there’s a very simple structure. 

29:20 – Regarding the e-Learning we’ve got, it’s all about the video success. So you got the visual and the audio, but then we also have little exercises that reinforce a lot of the points that we talked about in the videos. Then we also added in each of the courses, we have these downloadable tools and templates that you can take and keep. If you want you want to go old school, you print it out and you stick it up next to your desk and you can consult it regularly. One of the things I’ve got is on the corporate narrative course in there, but it is the storytelling template that I that I had just talked about earlier. 

49:00 – Being explicit and prescriptive about what we need people to do is important. So we fall short of that all the time in our workplace communication. So we’ve done the hard part, we’ve won people over, but it’s like, well, what do I do? And too often nobody has the answer for that.

52:20 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

When we communicate better we can make work life, and life in general, better for all of us, for ourselves, and for others. That’s what I’m all about doing, is about making a difference with good and improved communication in the workplace and in people’s lives in general.

Timestamped Show Notes:

05:20 – The funny thing is, when they came in the house that day, my wife and I, we still joke about it to this day… You have to find a way to look at it, that’s exactly what the first couple of years of this was like. It was hard, but you kind of you relax with it. We joked around because neither one of us knew what was going on. I looked at it, I thought, was she cheating on me with somebody? Is she in the mafia, something that I don’t know about? Is she living a double life? All these weird thoughts. Then she’s looking at me going, are you looking at weird stuff on the internet? I mean, just all these thoughts, because you have no idea nowadays, and then, why are these people in our house?!

10:45 – We had to end up selling our home, we had to end up dealing with all kinds of different issues that weren’t documented. So I’m doing the best I can based on what I believe they wanted. Well, there were other family members who disagreed. So that became a big point of of problem.

20:00 – The number one thing is, anybody involved, and I mean anybody, step relatives, uncles, aunts, brothers cousins, friends down the street, they should all be involved in all the decisions for clear communication. Either in writing, in a group meeting, etc, so that there’s witnesses that can say, yeah, I saw that all 10 of us agreed with what were doing. I mean, other than what you said, the wills and signed agreements and all that stuff. The other thing too, is just don’t pay yourself to take care of your your relatives. I mean, there’s a lot of different philosophies on that. 

31:50 – We had to have two different attorneys. You can’t have one attorney represent you. So you have to have two separate attorneys. It just became this odyssey, I felt like every day I was getting up and having an out of body experience because it was so not my life of crime. Up to this point, I only had some speeding tickets. I had an open container when I was like 19 years old in college. That was it. So here, I was caught in this thing. Thank God she, I mean, she’s just an angel. To this day, she’s it, she has incredible friends. She’s an incredible person. Thank God because if she wasn’t, she would have left me in a heartbeat.

40:50 – I think it was smart move. I don’t have a legal background. I’m not here to say whether you are guilty or innocent. I love the fact that you’re honest. You say, we definitely screwed up, and we definitely didn’t do some things that were within the legal process, that’s why we got nailed. Then you stepped up and you owned it because you want to protect your family and not get drug through a massive trial of hell. 

50:00 – Assisted living doesn’t stay easy, even when we put them both in assisted living. It just made a lot of our challenges even worse, because you still have to get them to doctors, you still have to make sure their fed, they have clothes. I mean, people think well, we just put them away. You got to pay for it. You got to be involved in all of it or find somebody or pay somebody to be involved in it. 

54:20 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

If I narrowed it down to three key points… Number one would be gratitude. It’s important to have that, no matter what’s going on in your life, find the good things to focus on the good things. If you focus on the negative and the bad, that’s what grows. I mean, we hear that all the time on every book and self-development podcast. It’s probably cliche, but here’s the reality. It probably saved my life, just finding that gratitude.

Second thing and this is what I teach my kids all the time, is you can come back from anything. Truly anything, if I could survive this, and again, there’s people who’ve been through way worse than me. I mean, God forbid you lose a child or there’s just things that are way worse than what I went through. But the reality is if you can come back from whatever it is, if you just keep working, you can come back. But that’s what I tell my kids all the time.

I think the third thing is, it may be around the word, or the feeling of authenticity and love. Being yourself. I think I was pretending to be somebody. I mean, there were bits and pieces of me that were me. But I was losing. One of my friends said, you know, back in that day, you were so buttoned up. I was like, what do you mean buttoned up? He said, it was like, we didn’t get to see the real you. We didn’t get to talk to the real you. Even now, it’s hard for me. I mean, it’s hard for me to say I’m a convicted felon, that it’s like I just said, but it’s the reality and it’s me, and it’s okay. I’m okay, because I’m still a good person. I’m still living a great life.

Timestamped Show Notes:

07:00 – We love being distinct. We don’t do what most coaching companies or training companies do most of, that shits boring and useless, as well. Wat they do is usually provide formulas that gesture at results. We don’t mess around. We drive with three very distinct conversations. One is we do care about results. That’s what people are paying for, something new that’s happening that wasn’t happening before. So we get really clear on that and how do we do that? Well, leadership, if we could talk about what leadership is for a long time, but at least we know, leadership is getting results through other people. 

23:00 – In our work, we call it vital competencies. This is where life is like the connection between two humans, that’s where life is, period. I mean, we can have a transaction, but we’re not gonna have a future together, that is, unless we like each other. We get some vested interest, and we get shared interest together. Actually, you know what, I’d really trust Scott, I get this guy, even if we want different things, and I get you. We might be on the other side of the table, but it’s like, Man, I get this dude. He’s a real deal. Now that’s vital. That’s like truth telling and that’s really listening. That’s the presence and all of the things that you naturally show up as

30:00 – When I first got into coaching, I would hope nobody would ask, how how’d you get into this? Because I wasn’t an Accenture guy, I wasn’t an IBM guy, I wasn’t a Google guy. There’s a natural thing here, I’ve been spending years doing a bunch of crazy weird shit, from being an ICU nurse at the bedside, when trying to keep a kid alive, to running a multi-million dollar Foundation, to working mostly to doing leadership training with murderers to taking teams to go overseas.

40:00 – It’s honoring our convictions as much as our emotions most, the imposter syndrome was really my feelings about what’s happening matter more to me than my capacity. I speak on lots of big stages these days, I sit in rooms, wave, and have conversations that have lots of dollar signs in the backend. Am I scared? Yes, I am. I am intimidated. I am insecure, I know all of that shits happening. When I’m on the airplane flying across the country being paid good money to do X, all of my shit is coming up. I’m not surprised that it comes up for me. It’s just a part of it. 

46:55 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I love that we talked about legacy a ton. I think about this, especially as a dad, that’s mostly where I think about being a legacy. We got four kids between me and my wife and I think about this a bunch. So my legacy is always go be all in and be all here. That’s what I think about, my commitment level, I’ll just compete with anybody with my commitment level. You know, we’ll see results wise, but you can’t outwork me. You can’t out present me, you can’t outwork me, let’s just go, I’m gonna be all in. I love competition. I love finding the edge for myself. I love all of that. At the same moment, I want to be all here, I’ll be present for it. So to being present, especially with my young kids, talking about the deep complexities of life, I do XYZ.

Now things seem to come easier for me now, blah, blah, blah. But it’s not always been like that. Nor will it always be like that. So I like really sharing the struggle in life. That is as a part of it, and there’s joy in that, like, if you struggle well, like aiming at some meaning, struggle will come up actually faster than if you’re not aiming at anything. If I aim at something, difficulties will come faster, that’s the hard. All of my insecurities, they’re not going away. They’re gonna be here at some level, they’re gonna be here, so I want to talk about those. Talk of them, even with my nine year old. When we’re out on the golf course I just say, hey, how am I doing as a dad? My dad never asked me that question. My dad’s a lovely guy. I don’t think you ever know how am I doing as a dad and I don’t want that answer. You know, a part of me is like, oh, shit, what might he say?

Timestamped Show Notes:

10:30 – So it’s interesting, I mean, there’s a lot of problems in the world today. But there is no better time to be alive, right?! Think about it, we can create in the way that’s easiest for us. For me, it’s the same way, over podcasts, I can talk. But you know, writing a blog, that’s a homework assignment, but we can talk and then we can repurpose it either with technology or the people helping us and make blogs out of it, make videos out of it, etc. You know, I always say if I talk for 45 minutes, my team can find like two minutes of genius in there.

21:15 – I have gone through a few microphones and always want to sound better. If you talk you want the good quality, right? In podcasting, we must take pride in our audio quality.

29:45 – There’s a great marketing phrase out there, you’re just one funnel away. I also think it’s the biggest lie out there, because what works for small transactions does not work for high ticket relationship sales? Everybody keeps saying, oh, you’re just one funnel away. Tell me Scott, the best things in your life, right, does your wife come through a funnel? Ha!

34:00 – Well, I had a client that came to me and I said, well, why do you want to do podcast interview marketing? I loved his answer. He was a high level consultant. He said, because he thinks most of digital marketing today is the equivalent of advertising above urinals.

40:00 – Even if it’s all automated and a funnel, it doesn’t matter because you’re wasting their time. It’s like, why don’t you get five leads and five customers? That’s one of the things I love about podcasting. Somebody’s listening to you. You’re either their guy or you’re not. If you are great, then they reach out to you and ask how can we work together. They self select, but if you’re not a good fit for him, then fine, but let’s figure that out early on. Because at the end of the day, we don’t need more leads, we need more need more sales.

52:00 – For example, we just mentioned Sopranos. There was a seasonality to it. Each season can change in the theme, so you’re not locked in. So this season, we can talk about health this season, or we talked about business. So as different things come up, you can focus on it.

01:15:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

The thing that’s on my heart right now is we all know something that is ordinary to us and is amazing to other people, right? Through our lives, through our experiences, through our mistakes, we’ve learned things. We are blessed to be a blessing. So I believe that we’ve got a responsibility to share that with other people. What they do with it is up to them. But you know, I used to be able to say, well, if I got up to the pearly gates, and and they say, you were taught all these things, well, how come you didn’t teach somebody else that I could say, well, you don’t understand. I live in southwest Michigan. There’s nobody around me to teach it to, and that’s not true. Now with technologies, the podcast hosts, as a podcast guest, writing blogs, writing books, whatever it is, what’s ordinary is amazing to others. We’re blessed to be a blessing. In your own way, I would encourage you to share what you have learned with other people, because it will help them and it will help remind you of what you’ve learned along the way.

Today We Discuss Helping Yourself, Preparing for Battle, Kettlebells, and more:

Chad is a seasoned serial entrepreneur with an impressive track record spanning over a decade. He founded Kettlebell Kings from scratch and orchestrated a remarkable 3 year multi-million dollar acquisition back in November of 2021. Today, it stands tall as a thriving international company, making waves in the esteemed Inc. 5000.

In 2019, Chad pivoted into another passion of his, natural lifestyle products. His new company, Life Grows Green, is uprooting negative stereotypes about hemp and creating new products by only using the elements found in nature. With his background as a student athlete, Chad’s passion for sports permeates every aspect of his work.

Chad’s approach to business is the same as his approach to sports. Athletic competition is good, but outside the sports arena, competition takes new heights. His latest project is an upcoming book titled “Preparing for Battle”.

Chad discusses a wide range of topics, from developing a winning mindset to creating a solid business plan, building a strong team, and navigating the challenges of scaling a modern-day business. “Preparing for Battle” is targeted at aspiring entrepreneurs and minority-owned business leaders who are looking for actionable advice and insights that they can apply in their own lives and businesses.

Timestamped Show Notes:

05:30 – So after I kind of, quote unquote, hung my cleats up, I was looking for a more kind of functional fitness workout routine for myself, and going to gyms and you know, 24 Hour Fitness, Lifetime Fitness, these things felt more like social scenes, and they felt like a place to workout at the time. So I really got into home fitness and just trying to find my own routine that I can rely on, I don’t always have the convenience of going to a location. Kettlebells were just one of those things I explored during that journey. 

10:45 – I was telling someone earlier, I think one of the opportunities sports gives you is you get to play all of those battles out, kind of in a simulated way. Whether that’s practice or lifting or the actual games and championships, you kind of get different levels of intensity of battles, and you get to win and lose them. I think that hardens you and prepares you for leading a team through obstacles, especially the unseen ones, you start into entrepreneurship, you never know exactly what every problem is going to be. Out of the problems that come along, the will, perseverance, and grit to get through comes about. If you have the right mindset, you can make it through.

15:45 – I don’t like to hurt people’s feelings. But there are always going to be winners and losers, there’s no such thing as not being winners and losers. Yes, we can live in a better society than we did 100 years ago, and 100 years before that. We should be striving to do that. But even in those societies, there are still going to be people who do better, and people who do worse. Striving to do good is something that I think everyone should do.

22:45 – Preparing for Battle, my book, is launching on Amazon. Even this experience, we talked about preparing for battle, this is my first book, this is my debut book. There were things that I didn’t even know I needed to prepare for myself to do this. But you know, I had a small team that I put together, I worked with my editor quite a bit to make sure I was trying to create something that people actually could digest. So you know, it’s not just me saying it the way I want to say it, but I’m trying to say everything in a way that’s easily digestible, and something that builds a lot of confidence and inspiration and people who are thinking about starting their own business, I think it’s more about getting in the right mindset for the challenges ahead than thinking that you can study or cram all the information or memorize all the information necessary to be an entrepreneur.

31:00 – In football, you had to position yourself and prepare yourself for that type of impact, potentially, or avoid that type of impact. That was part of the strategy. I think that’s the closest that we actually get to combat sports or physical sports like that. I think it’s the closest we actually get to the kind of real world consequences for some of our decisions. 

40:00 – I think that’s the issue, like you said, not every company cares, and the companies that don’t care, unfortunately, they get the profits early on. They also get the best stories that come out about them. I’m sure there are people who are saying, hey, this company was too good to be true. Or you could have done your research and seeing prior to the story coming out that they necessarily weren’t abiding by the book. Trying to put a high quality product as the foundation of what they do. For me, it’s hard for me not to do that with any brand that I associate myself with.

52:25 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

When I graduated from college, and even when I first started the business, I didn’t realize how many people don’t necessarily have the same intensity about business, but the same same intensity about kind of creating or leaving a legacy. I know there are people out there like that now, and I think a lot of times you have doubt, because maybe everyone in your circle or everyone around you is not necessarily as intense about success or healthy lifestyle. I tell people to lean into that and to lead people towards the direction in what you know, is right. I think all business owners, especially any type of person that’s in a position of leadership needs to be kind of held more accountable to the overall well being of what they’re trying to achieve. Am I a cut enough corners today to get to the bottom line? I think it has to be a more conscious approach to life, especially now that we’re in this digital age.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

03:30 – It was it was actually super fun. So the conferences were both in this old engine building factory that had been refurbished into like a venue for events. And so they have all of the old. Like the cranes in there and stuff. I mean, obviously, they’re not moving it or using it. But yeah, you go in and they had a big screen down all the way at the end of the room. And they had speakers rooms upstairs. And anyway, it was it was very, very cool, then you a lot of the people that they had at the event, were some of the people that were kind of pushing the state of the art forward in JavaScript. And so and some of them I knew already, some of them we’d had on like JavaScript Jabber, which is our big podcast on JavaScript. And so yeah, so just meeting up with him in person, you know, getting to know him shaking hands. I recorded a handful of interviews.

10:00 – The difference is, and it’s kind of the same thing that I did with Microsoft for five or six years, is if you go as a speaker or influencer, it’s a different thing. If you’re going as an attendee, sometimes even some of the conferences just going as a speaker, it’s different than going as an influencer. If you’re one of the people that they go out of their way to get to the conference, then a lot of times, they’ll pull out all the stops.

19:30 – The other version of that is none of these technologies standstill. None of them do. So even if you’re working in a place that is hey, we’re going to stick on the version we’re at, we’re gonna use the technology we know. You find all kinds of opportunities learning the next thing in the technology you’re already an expert in. Maybe you want to go with indie game development, which is one area that I want to branch into. It’s super popular, and there’s a ton of stuff going on, and it’s getting easier. So if that’s an area of interest for you, by all means, if you want to move into management, then you’re talking about project management, people management and helping them do essentially what I’m doing just one on one.

22:20 – The video game standing in for real life for military applications, you know, where maybe you replicate a cockpit, or combat situations where you’re carrying a weapon and things like that. With AR and VR opening it up, you don’t even see the gun, you carry the prop, that is a game controller. But going beyond that, like office professionals these days, a lot of the stuff that they’re doing, the interactive stuff that they’re learning, that’s all being done with game development technology. They’re using Unity, which is an engine for building video games. So from there, it’s not just watch a video and then click on the right answers in the quiz anymore, which is what I did in a past corporate life. But now it’s literally you’re working through a work function, or you’re documenting and outlining some process that you have to do at work

31:20 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

The way that I got into the conference thing in the first place, was I had a listener to one of the shows, who wanted to have a Ruby track at a conference that he was helping organize. So he set it all up, they got us to come out, I actually lined up for a bunch of my friends to come out as speakers. We went up to Vancouver and while I was there, there was another podcast called .NET.

So .NET is Microsoft’s technology stack. They were doing a series on agile development. It’s a methodology, it’s a set of principles for running a team. They asked me to join the panel, because I had a different take on things because I came from a different background. So I joined the panel got to know the guys that ran that show. It turned out that they were the ones that wound up one of those guys who ended up organizing the podcast setup at the Microsoft events. So sometimes it works to get to know the people directly involved. But sometimes it helps just to get to know people and empower people who eventually introduce you to those people.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

05:00 – I got a couple of buddies of mine that just get shit done. I move hard and fast. These guys are like 10x. That’s one of the things I look forward to and look for when I’m interacting with people. Looking at people, asking what are they doing, how are they operating, how are they getting it done? And what can I steal from them and implement into my life so I can make some of that reality for me.

15:30 – It also helps improve the positivity that comes into your own world. We all have a choice as far as what we can input into our brains, right? We choose what we can read, we choose what we watch on TV, if we watch TV at all. One of the big shifts for me, was actually making the conscious decision to turn things off like the news. Turn things off like the news and all of a sudden, my mindset is better. I’m not a grumpy fuck all the time.

24:00 – I’m reading this book right now, The Buddha And The Badass by Vishen Lakhiani, this guy owns a really successful company called Mind Body.

32:45 – 100% So I did it backwards. And I was just in the gym and didn’t hear anything else. Right? Sometimes not the smartest dude in the room. So I was 283 pounds. Got to work on me was 75 hard work. By the time I wrapped it up and was done. I was like, 250 pounds in like, looking lean.

44:45 – I have two wellness doctors that I deal with, one’s a chiro and one’s an actual MD. The MD is like I don’t really give a shit what those of my colleagues here think in the US. He actually trained a lot in Europe and everything that he’s told me, Europe is 10 years advanced of where we are at with most things. So I got both of these guys doing a bunch of things and they’re both high performance, former athletes who have become doctors and are hard charging very successful entrepreneurs. They are not just in medical practices, but a lot of other ventures that they’ve gone on with. They understand the game, they understand how entrepreneurs move and operate.

58:30 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

Every one of our social media posts that we finish on that small steps forward daily, like literally, that’s how I live my life. You know, a lot of people want to go back to baseball, for instance, right? So do people want to come to the plate and they want to smash that home run? Or get the Grand Slam and knock it out of the park? In reality, it happens every so often, but not so much. I’d rather go there and hit base base hits, right, hit a ground ball, and get on base every time.

Any of the big wins that I’ve had in my life have been a very gradual build up of small wins over a long period of time that then transition over. So yeah, this whole theory of oh wow, he’s an overnight success. Yeah, 22 – 23 years of hard work to become an overnight success.

00:30 – Introduction

08:05 – You can’t outwork a bad diet is something we discuss all the time, and just taking the time to understand what parts that are going to look at, you know what part of that picture we need to address. We tend to look at it through running a body like a business, which is really a discussion we have quite a lot because generally the people we talked to in that higher corporate space or business owner spaces.

16:00 – I’ve always joked, I’m working with the people that need it, but don’t want it, I’m always trying to find a way to make sure that we work with courage of men and and business owners in that space . They need to look after their health, but they’re still looking at as a conflicting interest from work.

22:15 – I was basically on the brink of the professional bodybuilding world. So really, that scene, getting to 100 kilos, basically 220 pounds, that three or four % body fat, you are looking your best and feeling your worst at that moment.

27:00 – That’s the big part of having that conversation around the stress and realizing that it’s really an alignment of the two. I’ve said it a couple of times, it is trying to make sure that you know a lot of these guys, so they can resonate with being an athlete at some point in their life, they became competitive, they push themselves in some way. So they understand what that looks like from a physical threshold, they very rarely understand that they’re going through the same mental athleticism in that current role, the amount of responsibility, the amount of mental hurdles that are happening at 3am, the lack of time to actually stop and recuperate.

35:30 – A mentor said to me the other day, and it stuck with me really well, if I gave the level of stress that I just tack on over a day to day basis today, to me 10 years ago, it would have crippled me. I just didn’t have that mental muscle built up. So understanding how many more things you’re tackling in that day, I think it’s such a drastic part of it. That understanding that was pretty big.

40:00 – It’s understanding what you’re eating with when you’re eating, which is where this picture comes in really nicely. We’re looking at integration of physical, digestive, and psychological, understanding that you can’t separate these three. We’re in this world, we’re constantly trying to say, well, here’s the perfect nutrition plan, or here’s the perfect training plan or whatever.

52:15 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

For me, I think one of the things I learned really early on that’s made a huge difference in how I approach all of this was, when I was rowing in high school, it was something that you knew that you were doing more before 9am than everyone else was doing in their day, and you kind of had that as a bit of a chip on your shoulder, going into your day. But what I noticed is I was falling asleep in class and I was you know, grades are impacted. And I was trying to play the poor me mentality, right? Like, now I’m doing rowing. So you know, I need to have special treatment. And I can’t remember who it was at the time. But he said, You do realize it’s something you chose to do. Right. And I think just anchoring that and realizing that this is something you get to do not something you have to do, right. And I think many of us are just the the dog lying on the nail, right? It’s not painful enough for us to move. So we’re just moaning about it. And I think taking the time to just be aware of that space is a huge part of just creating ownership around your situation. Right? If you’re talking about situations and circumstances you’re giving power to it, if you truly want to take ownership of your life and take the time for the parts of it that are less than optimal. Then look at it through that lens you get to you don’t have to but if you want to sit there and be that the person the dog lying on the nail, that’s ultimately what’s happening and you just need to stop lying to yourself. I think it’s a big part of it is just intentionality.

Our Mentioned Influencers:

• The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

Watch us on YouTube:

Timestamped Show Notes:

• 00:30 – Introduction
• 12:00 – It’s about being wholehearted, for me, it’s like my whole heart is in the coaching, I do not take it for granted. 15 years later, when people show up and whether they paid or their organization paid, they are giving me a part of themselves, often a part of themselves that they didn’t plan to give.
• 15:45 – I think one of the problems is we talk about being professional. There’s one part of it, and we could define us being dedicated to your work, being deliberate, giving it your best and showing up with dignity to whoever you’re with. I’ll say the right thing. I’ll do the right thing in the right way.
• 21:15 – This is also where I think lots of people go through an existential crisis, like, who am I? I don’t even know who I am. I don’t even know what matters to me. I don’t know. I mean, I know you’ve gone through different transitions. I don’t know if you’ve ever been into a place where you’ve gone like, I don’t even know who am I?
• 31:55 – I’ve seen a lot of people now draw elephants. But it’s that piece of how can we not make it a big scary thing? What’s the weigh in and then I often go first. I don’t go with a rehearsed story, I drop into something that is real and raw for me. This is so I role model it and so people feel it because you can feel in a room when someone’s being real and vulnerable and then usually someone else’s brave. As soon as one person in the team has gotten more vulnerable, then maybe not everyone, but pretty much everyone will go there.
• 45:00 – If it’s about you, it’s a problem. The thing is, other people’s reactions to us is never really about us. It’s about what they think we are and their thoughts about us. I keep coming back to the book the Four Agreements at this point.
• 52:56 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

I love just trust what comes, which for me, maybe that is the message. Trust what comes. I think get out of the way and just ask yourself, how could you show up and have a lot of fun adding a lot of impact. If it feels really hard and clunky and difficult and off, you’re probably not at your best. You’re probably not having the best impact and the biggest impact you could in the world. I do think you’re here to do the very most with whatever you were given in the bag of DNA and life experiences, etc. So it’s all about how can I have more fun adding more impact today? I think if people ask themselves a question like that every day, really great things will happen.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

14:00 – If I compare it to a local business, let’s say they have they found a problem, it’s making people sick, or it’s harming people in some way. Maybe it’s not even making them sick, but they know it could harm people. Let’s say it will cost them five cents to deal with it and then they’re like, okay, yeah, we got to get rid of this. We’ll eat the five cents. So when you take a multinational company doing the same decision, now we’re talking about those five cents adding up to millions, maybe even hundreds of millions dollars. Now that decision is much bigger and we’ve seen companies do this, well, you know, screw it, people may get sick, they could sue us, and we’ll still make more profit than there anyway.

21:00 – People who see the vision and the mission and believe, that’s why they join. When they start profiting, then other people are going to start joining it, because they’re going to be looking at the way they’ve pulled out their hair, trying to figure stuff out and do business. It’s a lot more smoother and that’s not available when you’re closed and isolated, working on your business alone.

31:45 – I believe there’s a natural incentive, people like doing that, people love sharing information. But if there’s an added incentive, if you become part of the profit, you’ll like it, that’d be part of the platform. Everything is traced, all ideas, and all suggestions are traced to the people.

40:25 – In regards to mutual alignment, no political and religious discussions, because they do derail things. But you did bring up something important, I want to say that I’m thinking ahead on, we want Localverse to have a first major milestone goal, which is to help boost the world to a billion founders and owners and not just businesses. Whether it’s a non-profit or whatever, the whole thing is local which is the lifeblood of the economy. I want people to understand why, I’m very obsessive compulsive about finding the mechanism of things, why do things work? It’s important to envision how things are going to end up, I like to find real mechanisms that you could follow all the way to the end.

54:35 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

A lot of people are afraid of the error. I was too many years ago and it’s like you know what, Scott? Sooner or later if you want to change your life, you got to start putting the reps in and you’re gonna have a bad rep once in a while. It is what it is, so you go back to the drawing board, refocus work on your form, your technique, and then go at it again. Heck, go a different route, change directions, it’s  about your habits of thinking.

The post Local Businesses Working Together With Localverse appeared first on LIVETHEFUEL.

A Clean Burning FUEL Source to Attain Self-Mastery and Life Optimization:

Wylie McGraw is a former star athlete, competitive bull rider, and 3-tour combat veteran.

It was through those intense experiences that he discovered his crazy superpower of being able to expose blind spots, erupt & eradicate stress, and fully unleash the untapped potential of high achievers.

He’s the founder of Radical Performance Acceleration and for well over a decade now he’s been behind-the-scenes doing life-altering work with powerful CEOs, Entrepreneurs, Leaders, and Public Figures accelerating their performance both personally and professionally.

His work is the proverbial “Navy SEAL Training” equivalent to high performance and leadership development – pushing even the elite beyond their limits so they not only hit their peak but sustain it.

Wylie’s formal title is Performance Accelerator. He has been named a “secret weapon” by some of the most influential leaders across industries from Wall St., Hollywood, Professional Sports, Fortune 500 companies, Personal Development, and everything in between.

His work is about giving an elite edge to high achieving individuals while ending their cycle of stress, sacrifice, and suffering that’s unfortunately associated when reaching their levels of accomplishment and success.

When Wylie’s not traveling the country to meet his clients, this family man enjoys skydiving, mountain top sunsets, and occasionally sipping on an 18-year-old single malt scotch pondering the philosophies of life, the cosmos, and beyond.

Quote: “An optimized leader advances the world, an unresolved one distorts it.”

SPECIAL Timing Note: We originally recorded this episode in October 2021. Thank you in advance as we catch up on episode releases since our host, Scott Mulvaney, started returning from his time off to finish writing and self-publishing his inspirational first book, “So You Want To Be A Hotshot” on Amazon.

Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:

1. We must be putting ourselves in the most uncomfortable positions.
2. I would never put a lower octane FUEL into a high-end sports car.
3. It’s time for you to step into a place of what it takes to be optimized.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

09:00 – You’ve got to understand that there’s more freedom in skydiving, despite the dangers, despite what you might think of it, then there is actually been. I would say someone with a death wish, if we had a death wish we wouldn’t wear gear. So at the end of the day, I tell people that it’s more dangerous to drive a car down the road than it is to jump out of an airplane. I have literally two parachutes in my system for a reason, because I enjoy my life. I’m going to the fullest possible edges of my limitations myself and want to see how far I can really stretch beyond that. So that’s why I do it.

20:00 – As I got older, I totally knew this is not where I really want to go, I didn’t feel fulfilled in the sport. The world of bull riding came knocking through contacts that I had made. It enticed me and it pulled me in and I found a new side of me being ignited that I had been waiting to meet all along. That’s where I realized that I was yielding to the fears of the unknown that bull riding was providing me. That turned me on to the idea and understanding that the only way you’re really going to stretch who you are, and see what you’re truly capable of, is when you’re putting yourself in the most uncomfortable positions. They must challenge you and radically stretch what your thinking is, what your feeling is, and what you expect to be showing up for you. That’s where you go beyond your limits.

31:00 – In my life experiences those intense life experiences, I discovered my own unique superpower, if you will, to expose those blind spots and to erupt that stress. It’s just a an aspect of my fabric of being who I am, when I’m grounded, and in the presence of someone, they cannot hold on to the stresses that are underlying in and underneath the surface. So it just starts to naturally come up and what I’m able to do with that is I’m able to poke at those and point at them and battle them head on with the people that I’m working with, so that we can actually eradicate them. Because the idea that our past life experiences, you’re right, you can’t do anything about having them. However, you can, in fact, resolve the negative impact and stress that those experiences provided you.

40:00 – Your mind believes that some, by pulling away from this podcast, that the people that are following you and listening to you somehow are going to have their own reaction to that and it’s going to be negative and something’s not going to be right, and people are going to be mad at you. There’s going to be this feeling of like I’m not fulfilling, what I say I’m going to fulfill in reality is that people in fact, need time to absorb so much information that you probably have provided them.

52:00 – Oh, my goodness, you said a couple of things that I want to I really touch on. You’re right, the dynamic between you and your wife had a massive impact on your ability to succeed to the level you are now, here’s why. What ended up happening was, if she dumped you, as you said, what she did was she broke the energy between you two, she pulled away because it wasn’t working with the way that you were operating with each other. So she had to pull herself out of the equation to radically shake you up. So that you can destress if you will, or resolve whatever is going on, shift your focus, shift your mindset and really approach things from a different way of looking at life. That’s why it naturally then came back together. Here’s the reason why people don’t want to do that, is because they’re afraid of facing that kind of truth. They are afraid of how uncomfortable that will actually be to do something so radical, indifferent.

60:00 – I would never put a lower octane FUEL into this sports car, this cars designed to do at 91 or 93 or higher octane. He goes and he gets a 93 because he lives in the south. It’s akin to you putting in bad FUEL into a high level sports car and expecting it to perform at the top of its game every time, i.e. who you are in your performance. Listen to this, folks, it’s like, if you feel and believe that you’re gonna go out and crush your goals and accomplish the highest levels of success possible with all of the stresses that you have still held on to that you have not addressed head on. It’s the same thing as you having that Maserati and putting it in drive while the parking brake is still on, then stepping on the gas and think you’re not going to break that machine. People don’t, they don’t get that. They think, well, I’ll just keep adding in more strategy and more processes and more systems. But they are not going to ultimately succeed. You’re not going to optimize who you are, they’re going to give you some momentum, they’re going to create some structure for you. But when it comes to human performance, acceleration, life in business optimization, it goes far beyond the helping field, it’s time for you to step into a place of what it takes to be optimized.

01:14:40 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

I know the people that are listening are high achievers, you don’t attract people that are not to listen to this type of show. They are aware of the stresses that they’re holding on to, despite what might be in the public persona that they portray. But getting real with yourself when you’re by yourself and feeling into what is it that I have not looked at or addressed head on. When you can get real with that and you can give yourself that permission to find a resource that you can’t control that challenges you, those stresses can be resolved. You’ll find that your power, your potential, will be unleashed in ways you least expect it, you’ll find that your efforts, the work that you put into what you’re looking to create, will in fact, become exponential and highly sustainable.

I want people to walk away from this, listening to that point and go, you know what, let me just get real with myself. Let me be vulnerable with myself and stop BS’ing myself and realize that I don’t need to keep adding in more strategy. I need to start looking at how to remove things that are holding me back. Let me look at my dynamics in my life that aren’t operating, and uplifting me to my highest potential. Let me face some truths that might be otherwise uncomfortable or something I’ve avoided and actually do something about that. Because when you do face, like you talked about with your wife, when you broke that dynamic, it transformed your relationship and it transformed your success. You didn’t have to add more into your life to figure that out. That’s what I want people to walk away with.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

06:15 – I worked for three years for somebody, but I knew from day one that I wanted to be self-employed. So I was working inside a franchise company and I became like a very high paid salesperson very quickly, I figured out like, you know, relationship and you know, how to be you know, drive result because I was, again always into goals and, you know, discipline and self-motivation.

10:55 – Now, there’s the book theory of running a business and then there’s real world. The example I always give is, look, I can tell you what it’s like to ride a bike, since you’re a cyclist, right? I can tell you what you’re going to do mechanically. But until you sit on a bike and feel what it feels like to balance a bike underneath you, you can’t really understand what it feels like to ride a bike.

20:25 – I will first backup to say. If I stopped growing, how can I be one of America’s top consultants? That’s ridiculous. So yeah, I reached the pinnacle of what I do as a franchise consultant years ago, but my friends are like, no moss grows on your drink. So I’m gonna say I peaked at 40 and then I never dared take a chance or do anything different?! So no, what I did was, I wasn’t able to then turn to mentors inside my industry. But I found mentors outside of my industry, I found people who were creating wealth, in ways different than what I was using, real estate syndication, using infinite banking policies, using storage, using real tangible assets, I found somebody that had personal net worth of $100 million.

30:00 – We all have the internal power to create that WHY for ourselves. That’s what fuels every single thing. My WHY isn’t money, my WHY is influence, my WHY is helping people I see. The satisfaction for me, isn’t taking somebody from I have the dream to leave corporate America, or I have the dream to own a business. But I don’t know how to make it come true and taking them through a one to two month process to where I’m happily marrying them off to their franchisor.

40:25 – In a lot of businesses, the franchisor doesn’t want the investor to invest in the land up front, save your cash, put it into the business, make sure this is a business you’re going to enjoy. Make sure you have enough cash flow to get the business up and positively, you know, cash flowing, and then maybe look to buy out your landlord over time. Automotive is like a great industry for that for people that ultimately want to own the real estate.

49:20 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

I would say Scott that freedom is the most honest state of the human being right. We were created for joy and joy is really only ever fully achieved when we feel free. Freedom comes with a price. Usually, in the context of owning a business. The price is courage. It’s the courage to put yourself into the arena. But in a franchising situation, it doesn’t require like pure guts, it requires you following the lead of other people, those who’ve already figured it out. I can be your guide to help find those people to find an organization where you believe that you can thrive. So it’s not like getting into that airplane, getting to your cruising altitude, and then jumping out having never skydived before all by yourself. It’s skydiving out of that airplane with somebody on your back who’s done this hundreds of times, and who can help you carefully land where you’re trying to go.

That’s really going to sum it up. So for those people that are inspired by the idea to own your business, it’s never going to be the right time. It’s never going to feel 100%, like, oh my gosh, this is it, I gotta go do this. There’s always going to be those doubts, those insecurities, those anxieties, but if you want the outcome, if you want the life that you truly own, where you can be accountable to you where you can wake up every day, feeling empowered by what you’ve created, and abundant because it’s all yours and it’s unlimited. You have to be willing to push through those first fears, and put yourself into the conversation and I’m here, I’d love to be your daily coach, my services are free, you will never pay me any money, so you have nothing to lose.

The post Franchising Mentorship with Kim Daly appeared first on LIVETHEFUEL.

Enjoy This August 2021 Book Launch Throwback Episode:

I took a big break during 2021 to ensure we could finish launching my first book, “So You Want To Be A Hotshot” and well, we did it! This podcast episode was originally a Facebook LIVE video on my personal feed there during our book launch day. So please listen in with my editor and publisher partner, Hilary and I celebrate and discuss lessons learned. With 20+ years in the digital marketing trenches, J . Hill Marketing & Creative Services is the expert. Period. Here is Hilary’s bio below.

Quote: You OWE it to your book to take time and not rush it!

~ Hilary Jastram

I am the founder of J. Hil Creative, a marketing agency specializing in premier copywriting, editing, and book editing for Fortune 500 brands and the “one-percent” superstar entrepreneurs. Bookmark Publishing House, a division of J. Hil Creative, was born out of necessity when the inquiries I put out to help authors publish their masterpieces gained traction. Now, it is Bookmark that demands most of my time–and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Authors who come to me get a genuine assessment of what they need to do to reach the book publishing finish line. I am qualified to teach them as this is a road I have traveled myself.

It’s important that an author works with an editor who has been in the book writing trenches–who is an author themselves. So the process is one of not just empathy but sympathy. When I tell authors I understand their confusion and overwhelm, their fear of releasing their book baby into the world, I absolutely mean it. This is why I love being a book coach so much! There is nothing like being witness to a writer’s strength growing in ways that surprise even them. I tell myself every day that I have the best job on the planet.

Since 2016, Bookmark has helped over 100 authors everywhere get published! That’s a number I’m pretty proud of. I attribute our success to my incredible team of experts ranging from proofers, formatters, designers, marketers, copywriters, and editors.

Another one of my labors of love is the Go Book Yourself podcast that allows authors to master writing, marketing, and publishing one byte at a time. It’s my hope that this podcast will provide peace of mind through the sharing of relevant and road-tested tips, tricks, and industry insights, so authors can gain the confidence they need to move forward on the steps to publication.

As you are about to learn, there’s no feeling like becoming an author in the entire world. Wearing the crown of authorhood belongs solely to you. Nothing can ever take it away. And in my eyes, nothing can ever beat it.

Although my time is dedicated mainly to Bookmark, I am available for copywriting, publishing, and marketing consultations. Please reach out using the Contact option on the menu at the top of the page. I can’t wait to speak with you soon!

Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:

1. Be patient with the process, even a Hotshot can struggle.
2. Stay inspired to ensure your motivation to the end.
3. Partner with the right professional to push you to the finish line

00:30 – Introduction

10:25 – I have to stay sane and married. So I’m gonna make a command decision right now to do those things. I admired your dedication. I admired your focus, and you came back to it. So some people don’t come back to it. I don’t know why this is.

17:10 – You already had that commitment. I think he was robbed but what stuck out for me and what I just kind of chuckled over and I really enjoyed watching you get into and wade around in… You fully immersed yourself in the total geekiness of living as a minimalist. That that was joyful for me.

22:30 – So I do mention that in the book. There’s already been a movie about the Granite Mountain Hotshots who passed away June 30, 2013. I got to serve alongside of them with my crew Pleasant Valley Hotshots in 2010, 2011, on different fires. Then, unfortunately, when I stepped away from the profession, they ended up passing away. 19 of the 20 men lost their lives on the Yarnell Hill fire on June 30, 2013 trying to protect the town of Yarnell outside of Prescott, Arizona.

30:35 – It’s not you, it’s me. I think my line was, man I was such a douche, I think my line was, was like, listen, I can be gone for a month at a time or two months at a time. It’s not fair to you or I to take those matters of the heart like that so lightly. Honestly, deep down, I didn’t want to. I didn’t want to risk my heart, I was shut down. I saw people on my crew struggling, being engaged, being married, worrying about people cheating on you while you’re gone. So I was like, dude, this is only for like, sometimes four to six weeks. I can’t imagine people in the military what they go through. It took a lot of years of work to pull my head out of my ass after this.

40:00 – Well, I’ll tell you what I think what you’re doing here is right. So when you take on a book, it used to be, I’m going to write a book and that’s going to be the focus. I’m going to write a book and then I’m going to do this, then I’m going to do this, and I’m going to do this, once you’ve done “this”, you launch a multi-prong campaign. That is exactly what you should be doing. So if there’s anything that I want people to take away today, it is to wrap your mind around the fact that you’re not just an author, you are a marketer, you will be whether you’re self-publishing, going with the publisher or a traditional publisher, whatever the case is. You will be expected to come to the table as a marketer.

50:00 –

46:15 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

If you can’t sell your own book… Alright. So my friends, my family, my followers, please help push this out there. Now again, all profits go to charity, I’m not messing around. It tells you right an Amazon. It’s literally on the back of the book. I started my own foundation, that was one of the things that happened because of writing the book. I want to be able to make sure and guarantee people that money is going to charity.

FUEL Foundations is legit 501-C3 nonprofit that I registered over a year ago. I didn’t plan on doing it until writing the book because then I realized, wait a minute, what if certain firefighting benefiting communities or charities either go defunct, or all of a sudden get shady. I need to ensure that people’s money is being put in the right hands. If I only aligned with one charity on the book, well, then I can’t help others. So this is one way that we can literally ensure that this book’s success can be benefiting multiple organizations for years to come!

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

11:00 – I used to ride my mom’s Bianchi. For years, I would steal it, she would know it. It was a little bit bigger than me, so I kind of grew into it. We actually moved to Burnsville way up through 309. We’re just a little bit outside the Parkland School District, but I refuse to go to Northwestern High School is a different district. So I would ride my bike almost every day to train for wrestling from Burnsville down the back way through down to the old Parkland High School, which is Orefield, and it was just a fantastic ride.

21:30 – I wanted to write for Outside, Men’s Health, and Men’s Journal which are the ones we talked about. Yeah, they just wouldn’t have me. They’re like, hey, nice job, kid. Here’s a lollipop go read our magazine somewhere else. I was like, well I think I’m a good writer. I think I can handle this and they wouldn’t even give me the time of day. So I did my first Triathlon in the fall of 1999. I did the Catalina Island Triathlon off the coast of Los Angeles. I had lost 100 and change pounds to do my first race. I was miserablfe. I was unhappy. So I gained all this weight, a long story, but I ended up losing it all. Because I was training for triathlons. I didn’t know I was just running and my knees couldn’t sustain me because I was too heavy. So I started biking like I used to, and then, long story short, I’m cycling and swimming and running and someone said you should do a triathlon. I said, okay and I signed up for one in November of 1999.

30:00 – I think clydesdale calss was never closer, I think it was 200 lbs. But regardless, you’re talking about whether they were fantastic triathletes or not, they were still athletes, and they’re still out there doing it. I don’t care how big you are, or if you’re like, quote, in shape or out of shape. You have significantly different needs at that size. I mean, just the square inches of pound pressure you put on your feet as you run is just substantially different. So we would talk about things for them, we were the first. There was a woman out of California, her name is Rachel Sears, she was a semi pro athlete, she married a guy named Phil Cosanta. These are names I haven’t heard of in years, who was a coach out there. She convinced me that there was a mechanisation in any kind of training called periodization. That is how you peak when you peak, how you put baseballs and so forth, and how you get ready for a race. It’s this series of weeks to train for a race. So she wrote an article on what periodization was all about, how do women stay at their top performance if they’re on their period. We’re talking people were telling me don’t print that article and she was telling me you need to print this article. I’ll tell you I’ve never received before, since, and I worked for other magazines after this, so many positive reviews. Specifically from women stating that no one ever told them about this stuff. So I think we were really groundbreaking in many ways. I wish I would have known then that we were so so forthright and so innovative, because I think we could have capitalized on it could have been more successful.

38:50 – I’m completely online and virtual. So I do have a couple of virtual people that I outsource to stuff like that. I don’t have full blown like, teenagers who you’re talking about, but I agree with you 110% that you cannot find the same psychological connectivity virtually, that you do physically. Obviously, I want people to be healthy and safe and whatever your position is on COVID and all this transition, but it’s like in the end, especially an agency like you guys, I can’t be that dude, that’d be in the office.

46:00 – What’s interesting, too, is now everything is virtual. You can even do, you know this, but now you can have whiteboard sessions and collaborations. Just yesterday, somebody was like, we don’t know if we should do this or not, you know, full rebrand. I’m like, why don’t we just have a conversation? He’s like, well, I got people in Orlando, and I’m in Arizona, and now the people in Maine. So we don’t just get on a, we’ll have a whiteboard session online, we can draw on each of the screens. We can post things, they’re like, what, you can do that? I’m like, well, first of all, we have been for the last year, but secondly, the whiteboard thing is new to us. But it’s been really fun learning new things.

Our Final Words of the Show:

My wife, she’s very loyal and she is also about justice. She’s very straight with me and she very much sees my frailties and my weaknesses. But she also embraces me for them and loves my strengths. When I’m in a situation like that, when I’m nervous, when I don’t want to do something, and I’m like, gosh, I’m feeling vulnerable. She’s the first one to say, Yeah, but that’s when you need to go. That’s when you’ll learn the most and you’ll give the most. I wish I had that skill set. When I was younger, I wish I had that skill set working for other people. Because had I been a little bit more receptive, a little bit more patient, a little bit more humble, I could have been a lot more effective as a man than I was at that time.

RC Peck Returns for Part Two! Getting Transparent Around These Transitions In The World

With the state of the economy and the stock market, I think it would be valuable for your listeners to hear how they can be more consistent in the market and have a successful year ahead, whether they’re investing for passive income or for growth and whether they’re new or seasoned investors. And not through the traditional ways of investing that everyone teaches, but by rewiring their brain and behavior, and using words, NLP, and past trauma to do what’s best for growing their money. Most of which are the opposite of what they’ve been taught or have never heard.

RC Peck, CFP sits at the intersection of money and human behavior. For over 20 years he’s helped people hear what their money is trying to tell them. His struggle with dyslexia, watching his parents’ life savings get embezzled, and his background in NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP), taught him to question the obvious.

Quote: Men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song in their head.” ~ Thoreau

He now uses his ability to see what others can’t see which brings clarity and insight to a world that is often described as confusing and overwhelming. His message is clear. Listen to your money. It’s trying to tell you how to get the life you want.

00:30 – Introduction

04:40 – No more posturing. I’ve always been into the outdoors. I’ve always I bought a mountain light in 1989 this small company called North Face came out this new type of jacket called the mountain light and it is the first jacket ever wear was just the layer there was no insulation in it, it was longer. It was a shelf. It was it was one of the first years and I grew up outside of Chicago. And there’s there was no Rei where I lived or anything like that.

10:00 – But think about this. You just watch someone on TV, you see them in their family room. Okay, he’s got a suit on. To me, that’s really weird. So hold on, it’s deep COVID shut down, you’re in wherever some state words, you know, deep, deep state shut down. We know like, I think unconscious, like, why did you put the costume on dude? Like, we know you’re working from home.

19:45 – I think about this, like this stuff. People were scared about the FED. The federal funds rate is a quarter, it shouldn’t be a quarter that the balance sheet of the FED quantitative easing blah, blah, blah garbage garbage, pe ratio.

24:20 – So when people use financial terms, you sound like everybody else. They mean nothing and they don’t work anymore. It’s like someone says the PE ratio is the highest and it’s been there since 1929. I’m like, so what is it now? But I know enough because I geek out on this stuff, and my comeback is always July 1997. The PE ratio is the highest since 1929. Do you know what happened after July 1997 to march 2000? They go, no, well the NASDAQ went up two to 300%. So you would have given up 300% because of some ratio? And the answer is they don’t. I’m not throwing them under the bus, but no one’s taught them how to look at the market.

30:00 – So companies on the margin, they’re gone. Companies, were just a maybe, they’re gone. Companies that really succeeded, they realized I gotta pivot, I got to figure out how to get my tacos out online. They pivoted, they put lines on their parking lot so that people can come in and they felt like they accelerated the process.

40:00 – Well, so this is one of the first things I say to say to someone, I go, you can buy the S&P with dividends reinvested for free. Before it was free it would cost you five bucks to buy in a cost a couple basis points. But now it doesn’t cost you any basis points to own that fund, doesn’t cost you anything to buy it. So it’s free. It’s been free for a long time because 495 is free to me. So you have this free index that you can go get now for free. If you can’t beat the free unmanaged index, or your big box advisor can’t, then what are you doing?

50:45 – So if you’re making 150 a year, and let’s say, you have 150 saved, and then 150 grows by 10 percent, like 15 grand you’re like wow. I’ll go to you know, Olive Garden, the brain is just like, what’s the point?! There’s a point in between 45 and 50, where the brain really goes, wait a second. I don’t want to deal with this shit anymore. It’s not a millennial thing. It’s literally a 22-year-old to a 45-year-old brain. Wealth is income and it continues to help your wealth in between because the biggest earning years for most people is 45 to 55.

01:09:05 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

People have unnecessary trauma and anxiety and stress in their how to grow my money world, like and the message is it is all completely unnecessary. You’re either creating it yourself and you just don’t know it, or someone is creating it for you and you don’t know it. I mean, literally in 23 years. It’s really you’re either creating trauma in your finances, you’re doing it and you’re literally seeking out the most unstable investment. You just don’t get how your childhood trauma is having you recreate that survivable experience, or literally you’re like, Oh my god, they’re creating it. I just never knew it and I see them both turnaround immediately. So I mean, for me, the message is, there’s no need to be anxious ever about the stock market or your investing. If someone thinks that it seems so hyperbole or crazy, that just tells them how much of the hype is you should be scared? Or how much of the message is you you’re really screwed. If you don’t come over to us, we have some conversations through the trauma.

00:30 – Introduction

05:25 – Now, did she ever get the chance to work remote until these crazy 2020 changes? Or no? No? Oh, so this is her first opportunity experiencing what you and I know.

10:00 – We transitioned from remote to the office, which was actually like a huge culture drain for people, we can slowly tell that people started to hate it more and more as they drove to the office. Some people moved to Florida and they missed their family. There’s a lot of elements going on there. I think personally, I mean, I never had a corporate job after college. I’m much more productive remote, where I can work in shorts and a T shirt and wake up and I usually do the most important thing every day and kind of have my own schedule.

22:40 – Absolutely, but they’re doing a great job with live streaming. I’m a workout junkie, I do intense workout every day and their live streams are awesome. They have a bunch of people together. It’s fun. It’s high energy and it’s all I’ve been doing as a workout since COVID started. So it’s kind of the the force pivot that they had to do, but very smart.

30:13 – We sold pre op in November of last year. We launched Outsourcing School in March of 2020. So once we got through the holidays and celebrated, we hit the ground running with our school.

41:55 – We are cracking the code, we go through interviewing, onboarding, training and managing. A lot of the reducing turnover stuff comes down into the management part, although there’s parts of it and interviewing and onboarding. In terms of marketing, we have lead generation, we have influencers out there, and we have podcasts.

49:40 – It’s a real role in your company. It’s something very important, like customer service or sales. The default should always be full time. Now, I always say that with hesitation because if you’re someone listening and you can’t afford someone full time, you should absolutely hire someone part time and eventually make them full scale, hire another person.

54:20 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

To me, life’s too short to do stuff that you don’t want to do. I’m all about flexibility, freedom, doing whatever you want, whenever you want, within reason. If you don’t have that flexibility and you’re an entrepreneur, chances are it comes down to your systems, your processes, your teams, and if everything we talked about sounds a little bit overwhelming. Start off with just getting five hours a week back you’ll be amazed at just hiring a five hour week virtual assistant what it’ll do for your personal life, your relationships, your business life, your focus by the stuff like that can be game changers like guy that’s gonna cost you 1300 bucks a year. You’re gonna get six and a half weeks back a year just by hiring a VA for five hours a week. It’s gonna get addicting. And my goal is to get as many people as possible into that flexibility, freedom lifestyle that I’m in, and I’m very grateful for.

00:30 – Introduction

05:15 – Life is beautiful. It’s like, even in the midst of a pandemic, I’m like, we are in our version of the Great Depression in the early stages of our generations only experience with this, hopefully. It’s a chance to remake ourselves and a chance to put yourself in awesome different places, to go and remake yourself. That’s why we’re here. I’ve been in the process of remaking myself for a couple of years and it’s a fun, beautiful adventure.

10:00 – We wrote it in two months and another partner, a co-writer, I’m the lead author on it, but we created it together. It’s got to go through editing and get the book cover design this month and we already have got a publisher signed off on it.

20:00 – I’ve sold off and got rid of about 10 real estate properties that I owned in the last three years.

30:00 – The principles are still true for business. How do you serve a customer? Well, you figure out what their needs are and what started happening three or four months ago may have moved the needs. It’s like the fish were over in this hole, and now they’re over here.

41:00 – I am doing podcasts a lot today and much more recently. I got asked, do you have more podcasts planned for this trip? Or is this bad timing? I’m going to launch my own pretty soon too. This time in Mexico is kind of a mix of a work-play trip. This is almost like a focus work trip. My wife is finishing up the book that we’re writing together and then she’s got another book she’s writing too. Then I’m gonna write some other stuff and I got a big mastermind coming up. So we had our true vacation in Alaska, where we were not plugged in, we were in a little fishing cabin that didn’t even have internet. No TV in that sucker.

46:30 – You’re 100%. I think that your friend gave brilliant advice. There is a different energy level and mindset when you’re not as outcome-focused. As you mature in business, as much as you are process and learning focused, things will shift. If you look at Elon Musk, now you have a certain level of confidence that you’re going to figure it out. Elon Musk one day tweets on his way to work, so frustrated by how long it’s taken him to drive, 13 miles from his house to Tesla and SpaceX. So he’s like, I’m tired of this. I’m good. I’m free. I’m going to start another company. I’m gonna drill holes under California and build a network of tunnels.

51:30 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

Claim your power is a two-fold process. I take people through it, where we release the old identity that is holding us back and take hold of the new. You almost have to shed that old before you can grab the new. Alright, so we release and shed that old idea, take hold of the new, more powerful version of you. So for me, my old identity, my weaker part is I call them weak, Weak Willie. The more powerful part is Magic Mike. Okay. I have to express appreciation to Weak Willie, because sometimes these old parts of ourselves that sort of sabotage our progress, have good intentions. They’re trying to protect us from pain from suffering like we were bullied, or we experienced this failure, or rejection from this woman or this man or whatever, right? This wound is there. But if they control and dictate our lives, they sabotage us versus when know we’re meant to show up as this powerful, magnetic, radiant version of ourselves, that attracts love, abundance, and freedom.

00:30 – Introduction

11:00 – You’ve got it and it brings us to connection. That’s the connection of fire with the earth. It is regenerative, it is restorative and Mother Nature is built in. She’s an amazing engineer. Like she’s gonna kick our butts every single time if we think we can best Mother Nature. We are whistling dixie because we are unconnected with the truth of the fact that this earth and it is way more powerful than us. So it’s being connected with what is. Here’s a story I would illustrate it with from years ago. I attended a sheriff’s academy in Ames, Iowa. I applied and I took it and it was fascinating Scott because what do you think I knew about being a sheriff? Most American’s don’t know what the role of Sheriff is.

19:30 – Marketing is communication. Marketing is connecting. It’s finding out who are your people, where are they at? How do they want to be communicated with, what is their rhythm? What’s their style? What’s their desire? What do they think they want? What do they know they need? That’s the engagement of connection and when it hits, Whoa baby, it’s magic! Yeah, like a full blast, let’s go. But when it’s not connected, when you are struggling, when you’re forcing jokes, when you haven’t honed your craft, I also delineate very much between public speaking and professional speaking. There’s a huge difference.

30:00 – Right now week to week, things are changing, it actually feels like day-to-day. You can have this great client who has been abused, who already has 15 flaming plates spinning in the air. They’re already thinking, damn, I just need another damn thing. So how does she react, how do we help her? People like you and people like me, how do we coach? How do we lead? How do we teach so people can effectively lead their own lives in perpetual adaptation? Look, the world hasn’t stopped. Oh, clearly, it has changed in a very remarkable and very, very condensed manner. This could have stretched out over 10 years, this could have stretched out over a millennium. But Mother Nature said alright, you’re not paying attention. I’m going to really give you a wake-up call. So being connected with yourself first, always your why, it’s the number one thing I teach. You got to know your why and your purpose!

40:00 – I’ll send you a list of 12 people or I’ll do a bunch of connections because now I know you and I are here because of somebody else, right? Let’s talk about what connectivity is here for a couple of minutes. Because we do need to delineate the N-word aka Networking and no judgment. Use what you want, simply know that there is a fundamental difference. The word network is a noun, it’s something you built. Think of it that way. If you can envision a net, I don’t care how you envision it, I just don’t use it anymore. Because it’s a noun, it’s static. When you connect, you’re actually in action. You’re in motion. You’re looking for something deep and it can happen pretty quickly, depending on how you approach it. That’s what I teach. I teach people why and how to connect on purpose with a service mindset. That’s the book, I literally wrote the book, The Connectivity Canon.

58:25 – That’s where muscle builds, we know this for a fact we know when we work out and it’s when we are sore afterward. That’s because we’re rebuilding, that’s your neural plasticity, same thing. We can literally change our brains. If we put the effort into it, it will be a huge chunk. Of course, it is your frickin change in your brain. The brain is ready. She’s gonna know how that’s really being connected to the purpose of whatever it is you want to accomplish.

01:05:00 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

You know that feeling Scott, when there’s a door and you’re going to walk through it, your intention is to walk through that door and there are people on the other side of that door, you’re telling yourself that you should, you want to and you can. You have to be on the other side of that door with those people. When you grab that handle or you push that bar and you enter that room, when you can do that with confidence and belief in yourself, when you know why you have chosen to be there, whether it is physical or virtual. You are a connector you have chosen very intentionally with what I call I.G.S.T.” Intention, Goal, Strategy, and Tactics. You have chosen to engage in a way that feeds your why, that helps you serve yourself and serve others better. That is why connecting is so important to me. I can tell you stories, but I know what it’s like to feel disconnected. I know what it feels like to be unconnected, and I know what it feels like to be connected. That’s my legacy to help people learn why and then how because once we know that, everything’s possible,

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

09:15 – I think a lot of us also make decisions when we’re five and six years old. Something happens when we’re a kid and all of a sudden, we’re like, oh, this is a decision I’m going to make for life without really all the facts. This five-year-old probably shouldn’t be making life decisions. But a lot of us, as we get older are still operating from the five or six-year-old thinking that was the truth instead of just a story we created.

18:55 – I was fortunate. My brother in law when I was younger, said, look, investing is great. But any money you put in there, it’s gambling. So only put in the amount of money that you’re willing to lose and call it a day.

21:00 – A great book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, talks really great stuff. Very good guy, a great book, all of that stuff. But at least if you’re gambling, it’s something that you are willing to take the risk and it’s something you enjoy feels a lot better than just something like oh, I hope it works out.

32:45 – I like talking about those simple things. This is something that happened to me a year ago. I mean, I’m sort of outing myself, but I was at a conference, and a workshop about social justice, equality, and privilege. I’m fortunate enough that I have a housekeeper because that’s one of the things that I like having is clean sheets and all that stuff. So I’m sitting at the workshop and I noticed that my socks are mismatched. Okay, now, I always think people that have mismatched socks are really cool, but I don’t do that on purpose. So right, a lot of people do it, but I’m not gonna count and so I’m not gonna take that risk and so living on the edge. Now, mind you, one sock was dark gray, and the other one was mildly dark. So nobody but me knew that my socks were mismatched and for about four seconds I was outraged that my housekeeper would mismatch my socks until I realized what an asshole I was being.

40:00 – It’s so interesting that you asked about the keyword of Nerve in my branding because one of the things that I find when I do workshops, live workshops with people is everybody wants to be rich. Me, me, me, me, I want to be rich. Cool, 10-minutes later, I ask what do you think about rich people? Rich people suck, they’re assholes, they’re jerks. Yeah, people, like them have no heart weight, and you want to be them. So already, we’re not in alignment, because we’re wanting to be the thing we hate, or that we have a judgment about, instead of actually, oh, some people that are rich, worked really hard. They put blood, sweat, and tears into it, and they didn’t just get it. I think when people make a quick judgment to say you’re rich, they miss you as the individual and they lump you in a group, which is what’s going on right now in a lot of different levels of saying, oh, this is who you are without actually seeing the person.

51:00 – We get into this comfort. I mean, I remember when I used to drive a pickup truck, I’m from Tennessee originally. So I was so happy to have my pickup truck and they were like, you can’t drive a pickup truck, you’re a CPA in LA. It’s embarrassing in LA. So I finally got a nice car, and everybody treated me differently, which was annoying, but I got used to it. So then I had to have a new car every year because that was the image. You know, the car companies would be like, hey, we’re gonna give you a new car, you don’t have to do anything. Well, okay, that’s sort of nice. I’ve sort of gotten used to it. But I really liked it when I didn’t pay for a car and having to trade it in. So I’m actually leasing this car, when the lease finishes, I’m actually buying it and I’m just keeping it.

55:45 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

Well, I think two things come to mind. Staying within our integrity, that’s huge for me. My favorite quote from Gandhi is “Be the change you want to see in the world”. That, for me, is don’t talk about it, don’t try to present it, just go out and model the life that you want to live. Other people will follow because they’re going to say, they’re doing something right. I want to know what they’re doing. Well, and I love that you re-emphasized the importance of integrity. It’s real, it is what you do when nobody’s looking, and again, in the long run, you know, what is the legacy that we’re leaving behind on this planet? I mean, I don’t think a lot of people think about that, they’re too focused on the now and not thinking about what could I be doing years from now by creating financial freedom by removing that debt and having more resources, that’s my goal. So I need to get this game dialed in, so I can give more.

I will say this I have a belief that everybody deep down wants to make an impact, wants to make a difference, and wants to know that they matter. That when they leave this earth, people miss them, that as a person, they left a positive footprint.

The post You Deserve A Healthy Relationship with Money with Bob Wheeler appeared first on LIVETHEFUEL.

Today We Talk Empowerment To Help You, The Listener, Re-tool and Change Your Life:

After working to support his family as a struggling artist, Derek Stone chose to reevaluate his life and his way of thinking, and in three short years grew a small one-man show into a million-dollar company. This amazing transformation came about through a decision to forgive his father. Derek left

the path of blame and began traveling down a path of forgiveness which led him to start living his best life. He is now on a mission to help empower others to make the same transformation by helping them take charge of their own lives.

Quote: When you avoid conflict to keep the peace you start a war within. ~ Cheryl Richardson

For years Derek Stone had dreams of becoming a musician. This road didn’t lead him to success, however, it led him to Nashville, TN. Struggling to live as a starving artist with a family to feed, it was then he thought “there’s got to be a better way.” He went through an early life crisis, changing careers with the help of mentors and watching YouTube. He took his God-given talent of Creativity and transferred it from being something you hear to something that you can see. As it turned out, the construction industry was his road to success, the “better way” he had longed for. In three short years, he grew a small one-man show into a company with $1.2 million in gross revenue.

He credits his success to one decision as a senior in high school. He started looking back at his life to figure out what made him so different from his three siblings. The difference. . . he chose to forgive his dad and to take a different path than his parents. He blamed his dad for every bad thing he went through as a child: from being sexually abused and going hungry, to taking cold showers because the power got cut off. He was a bitter teenager and wanted a better life, so when the opportunity presented itself, he took it and chose forgiveness.

36 years since the beginning of his story and he is currently living his best life. He enjoys hunting, fishing, knife making, and hanging out with his family. He loves empowering people to re-tool and change their lives. He loves God, loves his family, and loves people.

Top 3 Hot Point Takeaways:

1. Understanding Resentment, Bitterness, and Anger.
2. Self-Realization on Family and Life Balance.
3. For whatever is your why choose to forgive.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:45 – I would say the anger, which is derived from the bitterness, and once the anger matures, it becomes in bitterness, and then once those two mature, they become resentment.

20:45 – So we were at this conference and this dude, Dave Park, was talking about bitterness versus forgiveness. He said, some of you need to forgive a parent or a sibling or aunt or uncle or grandparent and my blood pressure started going and all of a sudden, all these memories started flooding back through my head, like a time-lapse video, and I started getting angry. Then this voice came to me man and said, Derek, I want to use you, but I can’t. Because you have this bitterness towards your dad.

31:00 – I had a conversation with my wife that was very, very humbling for me because my pride is always kind of my pride it always just like she really just doesn’t know. But she in fact did. I don’t know how she did. It’s like your parents when you’re a teenager, they always know you’re running around screwing around doing something. How do they know that?

42:00 – That is a valid point, you know, not to look down on it now. But I’m just saying, it wasn’t a necessity. I hated doing it. But I had to do what I had to do to get myself to a better place while I retooled, you know that’s what was going on. Then the moment I stopped, the unemployment went right into a job doing construction, grunt work stuff, and bad stuff.

50:00 – I guess where we are is where we are in life. You know, people do that look at us and say some of those things sometimes. I missed the whole first year and my first month of my second child’s life.

59:00 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

My wife wrote the last sentence in the book and it says “for whatever is your why choose to forgive.” I think that sometimes you have to search in your heart for your why, what it is that you do, or maybe it’s the why that you don’t want to pass on something to your kids, or you don’t want to pass stuff through to your wife. The people you love the most are next, they are the ones that are going to be hurt the most by your bitterness and your resentment. Yeah, for whatever is your why choose to forgive.

00:30 – Introduction

02:30 – Garage office? It looks a lot bigger than it is. It’s about six by eight feet in the corner of the garage. I built it with my father-in-law in like two days, just to be separated from the house. I want to redo the garage and put the gym in my office upstairs and build a second. My gym is in the basement for me right now.

09:30 – I started using video for communication purposes, and again, there’s marketing through video and relationships through video. Marketing is when you get the green screen, the drone, the high-end lighting, and the equipment and you record it. Relationships through video are more organic messages where someone’s just taken out their phone, or they’re using their laptop camera or something and they hit the record button. They know whatever message they have to deliver would be much better delivered in person but time or distance or technologies are keeping them apart. It’s not suited for text-based communication either, it has nuance, it requires more clarity. Relationships need to be built and so back in 2011, I didn’t work for BomBomb then, I was looking for a way to travel the country on a 48 city speaking tour.

16:00 – There is a shiny authenticity, the shiny or that something, is a lot of times the less authentic and it feels that way depending on what you’re trying to accomplish with your video. There’s a time and place for shiny, for sure. Okay. But there’s also a time and a place if you’re trying to deliver a heartfelt message. The less production that you put towards it, the more it sounds like it comes from the heart and less from the mind.

21:00 – I think, 25 years ago were the biggest shifts that we’ve had in the business world, as all of our communication was relegated to black text on a white screen. When you remove the messenger from the message, you remove the humanity, remove the emotion, you remove the tone, you remove the personal nature of the message, now we can personalize. That’s all the crap that we get in our email inbox every day that has your name on it that’s personalized. But there’s a difference between personalized and personal. Personal is a message written specifically for you, personalized is that token or autofill that fills in the information that’s not for you specifically. So I think that’s part of the problem because we’re relying on text messages, text-based email, text-based slack messages, etc.

30:00 – The visual cues are as human beings, we are meant to read visual cues. We have been talking for hundreds of thousands of years, there’s only been mass literacy for the past 500 years. So we’re not great. It’s not ingrained in us over hundreds of thousands of years of speaking face to face and reading, like reading people’s expressions. If you weren’t good at reading someone’s facial expressions, reading body language 1000, 2000, 3000 years ago, then you didn’t survive to pass on your genes to the next generation.

41:30 – CTA, translated for the newbies is a call to action. So if I was, if I said Scott, you need to buy my book. I could have added a quick pop-up that would appear in the video when you play it. You click on it, it would go directly there. Then you see it within seconds. It just drops that video right inside the email. Now it comes across with that animated preview too and that’s great to catch people’s attention.

50:30 – We just released our brand new mobile app last week. So the tracking and analytics are great, for example, if you played 98% of the video or 52% of the game, you played it. All of that is available right on the app. The recording is then your video library as well as all of the tracking and analytics with who’s playing it.

57:15 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

I’m going to go with this is a mantra that we’ve instilled in our marketing department. Honestly, it has bled into the rest of the company and kind of ties into some of the stuff behind me here too. It’s simple, it is “BE A VALUE AND ABUNDANCE WILL FOLLOW.”

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

09:30 – You have to decide right now. What stress can you take on and what is going to be more fruitful for you. Hold on to your personal life and your sanity right now or if expanding and adding to your business and money right now is more important. You have to decide that because you can put too much stress on your time and on yourself during these times

20:30 – You have got to realize that this economy was worse than this, but not acutely that this is way worse than a way it was? Oh, but it’s not going to be that way long term. In other words, a five-year effect. I believe that here in the next 30 days, I think you’re gonna see this country just start roaring again. That’s what I believe anyway, I don’t think it’s going to be maybe the hardest and shortest hit to the economy that we’ve ever seen.

31:00 – If we the people state, hey, we’re not gonna let you take our liberties away. You know, we’re not going to take up some unsubstantiated evidence and let it ruin our lives in our economy. We’ve got to get outside, we’ve got to remain healthy. We’ve got to remain socially healthy too. We can’t let our relationships fall apart. We’ve got to have friends, we got to maintain a social fabric.

40:00 – That’s good wisdom for all. You know, Jesus said, don’t cast your pearls among the swine. That means, don’t give people pearls of wisdom unless they ask for it. That’s what it is.

52:30 – I believe that I help people more than financial planners do, tenfold? Yeah, you come to me and you sell your business for three, four, or five million. I can convert your life to being a multi-multi-millionaire and change your lifestyle in 10 different ways. I mean, I’ve seen people have small businesses that are only making a couple hundred grand a year and I can get them into businesses that make millions a year.

56:00 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

I would always try to tell people this, don’t let the world tell you what to do. Make sure that you are telling the world what you’re going to do. You know that this world somehow is designed in all meaning all well. Our parents do it, our teachers do it, our professors do it. People at our church do it. People on our sports teams do it, they’re always telling you what you should do. It’s their way, or it’s a way or it’s whatever and I just tell people to make sure it’s you deciding what you want to do.

That would be my lasting legacy of advice. That’s what really grabs me about this whole COVID thing, is how easily everybody just was told what to do and everybody just followed it based on really, really insufficient evidence. So I would say that’s my two cents. Make sure it’s you doing what you want to do. Don’t refuse good advice but be led by your own compass. Otherwise, you’re going to be led by 30 other compasses, your own compass needle is going to be spinning all the time, and you’re not going anywhere. You have got to follow your true north and it’s easier said it’s talking in bumper stickers, but it is so profound if you can just follow your own compass. That’s a way to live a deliberate life, live intentionally by the way of your own being, rather than being swayed by several other faulty accomplices along the way

The post Level Up vs Down, Abundance vs Scarcity Mindsets with Chad Peterson appeared first on LIVETHEFUEL.

Do it yourself water treatment, a Trillion $ industry, and much more:

QUOTE: “City water is legal – but is it safe to drink?”

Riggs Eckelberry doesn’t look like a bomb-thrower. And yet, he’s driving the disruption of a trillion-dollar industry that has fallen behind the times and is affecting the health of millions. That industry is Big Water. Simply, those billion-dollar centralized water systems aren’t coping with demand, and water quality is getting worse. The answer? Instant InfrastructureTM. Businesses are doing their own water treatment, using modular, prefabricated systems that are trucked right on site. They get better water quality, lower rates through recycling, and even improved environmental grades! Ten years after launching public company OriginClear, Riggs and his team are offering those truck-in-place modular systems in the USA, while licensees are building products internationally using OriginClear’s low-energy, chemical-free innovation.

QUOTE: “Water is the new Gold!”

Riggs Eckelberry is uniquely qualified to ride the huge wave of do-it-yourself water treatment that is transforming an industry, having learned management in the nonprofit space, captained oceangoing ships, and achieved several tech successes during the dot-com boom.

Top 3 Hot Point Takeaways:

1. Crowdfunding Companies.
2. Invest in water treatment.
3. Water is a Trillion $ industry?!

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – I was able to build real companies after that, I was involved with getting yellowpages.com its liquidity with my help. I wound up taking a company public called Cyber Defender.

20:00 – We became specialists and decentralized, meaning that our line of modular water systems. The black box thing really appeals to the decision-making decentralized user who just wants to solve the goddamn problem?

30:00 – He spent 30 years doing this stuff and we came along and say, okay, this is perfect to speed up the technology adoption cycle. Except that it’s still really hard to get projects through, even before the virus.

40:00 – The point, is that the investor normally has no way to get decent returns that are secure. By secure we mean, if you allow that water treatment plant to be built into the property, and now you become a claimant in a foreclosure or liquidation, then good luck, right? Major apartment networks are just falling apart because people aren’t paying their bills, and you don’t want to be the second or third or fourth in line on getting collection. So we realize it had to be something where we literally, it’s like running a TV, in the poor part of town, you want to be able to go in and take it.

50:00 – So what you have is, 20% overall, meaning in the US and the West, as Europeans, have it even better. It’s more like 70-80% is treated and then other countries are at 5% or zero, but guess what, it’s the same freakin ocean. So, you know, Bangladesh is doing whatever, well, it’s stuff makes its way over to us too. So we were on the same bubble, and we’ve got it too. So what I finally feel so good about is the fact that we’ve been able to take the limiters off and the blinders have been taken off the industry. This is a model that can be adopted.

59:45 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

It’s really interesting because I came up through the nonprofit space and so it was all about saving the world and then, in the 80s, I ended up in tech and the reason I ended up in tech was I started feeling that Tech has the potential to change the world, right?

For example, the self-driving car has the potential to eliminate that 14 fatalities per hundred thousand that we live with on a daily basis. It’s also a double-edged sword technology that can be used to surveil people, whatever, but it’s that net. I think we’re never going to get a handle on climate change. Without tech, it’s not gonna be done by legislating people to consume less. We have to literally leapfrog with technology and that’s why I went through the.com and then I found myself in water.

I feel that by applying the technology leapfrog to water, I can really help make a difference to the planet and that’s what makes me work the crazy hours and deal with the nuttiness because, like you, I feel like what I’m doing is so important. I love the excitement that people have, I feel it on a daily basis and it just keeps me going!

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – I do think this is different than several other countries right now and we are used to a standard of living probably above what we can actually afford. The tough part, Scott, as we know, is that since it’s been 10 years since we’ve had a recession, I think we have all gotten kind of complacent. As a society, we’ve gotten a little arrogant. It’s been pretty easy and we had a very smooth run.

20:00 – Even if you’re going in the wrong direction, maybe even some leadership in the wrong direction, at least we get some momentum and get people moving which is better than just sitting still and waiting.

31:00 – They’d send me an Excel spreadsheet, $35,000 worth of equipment, and I’d be like, look, I can get you $1,000. The guy would be like, let me call you back. He’d come back an hour later and be like, if you overnight a cashier’s check, it’s yours.

41:00 – The worst part Scott is that it wasn’t even all at once. It was a series of 12 loans for about $20,000 each. That’s how much I needed to make payroll every two weeks.

50:00 – For me, for my spouse, we have already spent a lot of time talking about what’s truly important to us. So we can go back to that, and we get some psychological safety from it. I’m not saying it’s perfect, you know, we still have our issues.

01:10:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I think people are, are focusing more on this now. And are starting pay attention. I think people understand that we’re going to have an economic downturn. And so it’s time to start to figure out how you’re going to rock it, instead of getting rocked by it. Don’t be Don’t be like me, man. Don’t be like me and have to borrow a quarter of a million bucks from your mother in law.

00:30 – Introduction

05:00 – How did you get connected with Trey Downes? Jeff Brown of the Read To Lead Podcast is a friend of mine. He helps podcasters and he had sent me potential connections that were right for people who are looking for guests.

10:40 – If you’re home and you’re healthy, and you’re protecting yourself by staying home healthy, then you have all this extra bandwidth. You’re not commuting and you don’t have to wash your hair, right?

21:45 – Everybody has a choice. Right? That’s what that quote is about. That’s what I’m here for. That’s like, what I’ve dedicated my work to.

33:00 – That’s what I’m here to do. That’s what’s going to take me to Super Soul Sunday. I don’t want you to have to go through some tragedy or get to a break breaking point? I’ll leave everything behind. I think it’s being willing to play with your mind and wiggle around the fear that’s keeping you stuck.

40:00 – I am so disappointed if they’re not the ones reading their books. A lot of times I wouldn’t even buy it. I’m like, I want to hear from you. I want to hang out with you. It gives you the freedom that when you hit a certain part of the book, you can add a couple little extra snippets in, because it is your story.

50:00 – That’s how you build a sustainable business that fuels your life and vice versa. I’ve been a guest on over 100 podcasts and people were telling me all the time for years that I should have my own. I was like, nope, nope, nope. I don’t have a vision for it. Nope, it doesn’t feel good yet. No, I’m not gonna do it just because I should.

In The Face Of A Pandemic, Christmas City Spirits Launched Booze Sanitizer Ingenuity:

IN THE SPIRIT OF HISTORY: Alcohol played a major role in colonial America. You could even argue that massive taxes on the trade were a trigger for the American Revolution. The Moravians bought their distilling knowledge to Bethlehem in 1741 and the craft has had a presence throughout the entire region ever since. A group of Lehigh Valley friends brings back the authenticity and history of this tradition with products made with local sources.

“We just felt like we were doing the right thing at the right time” – Quote ~ Brett Biggs

CHRISTMAS CITY SPIRITS produces quality and authentic spirits, aiming to exceed the consumers’ expectations for a unique experience. Our historically inspired products, developed by our team of dedicated alco-historians blends with our sense of community to bring history and place to the palates of our consumers.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

08:45 – I love the innovation man. You guys were listening and said, hey, we can’t get bottles so let’s go large volume and we’ll go door to door truck style to the hospital to deliver it. So that’s what we’re doing.

15:00 – You know, it’s hard. I wish I had more hours in a day, to be honest with you about that. That’s always a factor and that was the case beforehand. I’m a financial advisor by day I know, my clients need to talk through things and look at how their financial plans are dong. Which by the way, has been upended by a virus, which came completely out of the blue, it’s crazy.

22:00 – I think with success, America has become more divided. You know, for one reason or another, and this is a good reminder that, hey, we’re all American. We’re all in this together.

29:00 – I’ve always loved the science of money and that’s what I studied in school. It’s fascinating to me, what it does, how it compounds, and everything else. From the simplest case of realigning somebody’s debt and how to pay off credit cards and things like that, when working with their budget, to significantly detailed estate plans that involve very complicated mechanisms. It’s all very interesting to me.

38:20 – It’s perseverance. A lot of people probably would just say, hey, we can do it once. Let’s go home and do whatever. I don’t sit still well and I don’t like being told no. Which is so common for many of us. But there is always a way around it. You know, we’ve navigated legal systems and everything else to do what we need to do. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, they’re tough to work with too, but within a week we figured out a lot of stuff with them. We’re learning the processes there too.

44:50 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I just see activity and you know, being forced, it is up to being an American and being able to start a business and work every day. If you’re not happy with what you’re doing in life, only you have the ability to change that. I think from a standpoint that this might be the opportunity, if you were working somewhere and got laid off, that it might be a time to start looking elsewhere. You need to be the backer of that change.

Ask yourself, is it time to get educated in a different industry or whatnot? You just need to apply yourself, you know, the will to work will probably outpace almost anything, including even in jsome cases, education. You can easily outwork a lot of people. It just takes determination to do that. So get out there, do something positive, and we’re going to get through this!

Health, Happiness, and Educational Upskills with Grant Aldrich of OnlineDegree.com:

Grant founded OnlineDegree.com with a purpose-driven mission: make college more accessible and affordable for everyone. After graduating college with an overwhelming amount of debt, he was determined to change how students embark on their college education. Grant has spent his entire career working in startups with nearly 15 years of experience and 2 prior exits to a publicly-traded

company. He has been a board member and donor to a number of non-profits, an advisor to many publicly traded companies, and a guest speaker at seminars and graduate school courses. He graduated with honors from the University of California Irvine in Economics.

“Know Thyself” – Quote

Why The Project?

We want to help millions of people go back to school who’ve been unable to take that first critical step. We believe in the value of higher education and the institutions of learning in our country. However, university and college education can still be too expensive and unapproachable for the majority of Americans. Normal distractions of work, bills, and home life often prevent someone from being able to dedicate the appropriate time and money to a traditional 4-year degree program. This has led to a rise in new marketplace offerings that attempt to bypass traditional universities completely…we think that’s a problem and unnecessary. Our solution addresses the issues of higher education’s accessibility and affordability and keeps students on a proper collegiate path.

Student Debt…THE Crisis Of Our Time

Student debt has now reached a level of epic proportions. At $1.34 Trillion in the United States alone, it’s larger than both Auto and Credit Card Debt. It places a crushing burden on young learners and often prevents working adults from getting the modern skills and education they need to improve their livelihood. We’re working tirelessly to alleviate that burden and help people get years back from their lives. It means someone could buy a home sooner, spend more time with family, or pursue the job of their dreams rather than working any job to meet their debt payments.

Top 3 Hot Point Takeaways:

1. Cutting College Debt
2. Millennials and Future Education
3. Importance of Health and Happiness

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

07:45 – Yeah, I think that actually, the realization that education is going to go online was decoupled from coming up with the actual business model, because I knew for such a long period of time that online education is the wave of the future, just like it’s changed every industry. It’ll change dating. It’ll change every facet of how we interact with one another and how we interact on occasion. I knew that was gonna happen and we see that in the data. I mean, higher education as a whole, it’s a massive industry valued at around $700 billion.

20:00 – You could literally possibly even get so successful, that you make more money than your parents while living in your mom’s basement. There are all of these technological advancements that have created so much freedom. But to your point, I feel like we’ve lost some of the bricklaying as I kind of tried to connect with the whole highway bill, and then we’ve lost the foundation, right?

28:00 – We have a ton of psychology and the mental side of that longevity factor of being healthy all the way up until the day you die. It’s such a big factor. In fact, I wrote a, so I had children recently, I’ve got three kids under three and a half. One of the exercises I did was I wrote them a letter. I tried to incorporate this, that this is going to be for them although way down the road. I tried to incorporate a lot of wisdom into that letter. One of the key tenets, I’ll boil some of it down, is that you have to live a life of happiness and one of the tenets of that is is health.

40:00 – But things have totally changed. The community college system is really broken in so many ways because it’s not so cheap and you still have to pay a decent amount. So it is not that accessible because it’s a government institution and government institutions are always behind the times and they’re not able to adapt quickly enough to make programs online.

50:00 – It’s sad too since there are good people in these organizations to that credit of that woman or a person who is with you. Yeah, there are excellent people and they’re very determined. It’s not their fault. The professors there, they may all be excellent. It’s just the institution itself. I mean, it’s government run and when we look at any other government run institution, the DMV, the Post Office, etc, the whole goal here is to provide a service to everybody at the lowest cost. You’re ultimately at the mercy of taxpayer dollars. So you can’t possibly provide a good service to everybody and provide some that everybody needs and stay in front of it all. That’s not how they’re designed to move. That’s a bureaucracy.

01:02:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Asking for some final words is actually quite timely because of that letter that I’ve been writing to my children, the message we would come back to is happiness. It’s weird about all of that, as it’s so intuitive that we have to be happy. And yet it’s one of the hardest things you could see people try to achieve because I think in a lot of cases people don’t really know themselves. I think that’s a sad thing like they kind of live their lives papering over and never going through introspection to really know who they are. I think that’s key right? Because if you know who you are, you can know how to be happy. They look at your life right now, all of these things you’re doing that are just awesome, right? You’re living a life, health, your career, all of your entrepreneurial ventures the way you’re helping people. Your philanthropy, philanthropic efforts with your nonprofit I mean that is all a life driven on happiness and living in the moment kind of thing. I think that that in and of itself is a legacy that you can leave behind, something that you can be a good example of because they’re sad, but that’s just rare. Most people do not live that way.

00:30 – Introduction

10:30 – So it’s like, I have a book, I want to tell my story. We can actually tell your story in a blog post or a book, but the book obviously has a spine, but it may not sell. Maybe you sell 200 books but you’re blocked. Now your post we’ll reach 5000. So what do you want to do? If they tell me I’d rather do a book than a blog post, then I know they’re doing it for the fame because they want their name on the spine.

20:00 – I remember reading a book a long time ago and it said just put on some lipstick and you’ll be fine.

31:10 – It’s a brand, the red shield is a brand, the red Cadillac, a Christmas sign, that is all branding. So people who were in the marketing department help further that brand and then people give to that brand.

40:00 – I don’t like people spamming my inbox. So let’s tell a story instead. That’s what sells, you tell and sell but don’t blast me. I’m gonna delete you.

53:00 – For the listeners, they don’t know that you have a cute little white puppy on your lap. What kind of breed is it again? A Maltese?

59:37 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I always tell people, those that show up, go up, meaning, just show up in your life, show up at places when you’re invited to different things to show up. Then bring your A-Game, bring your best self, show up to go up.

Don’t just be in life where it’s just participating but really be intentional about it. Where you are going and who you are meeting matters, if you genuinely liked someone, like, I genuinely like Scott, make sure that you make those personal connections. Social media and all of this technology make it really easy for people to hide. But if you’re really real with people let people know that you like them that you appreciate them that, that you promote them, you share with them, and it just works.

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – Our first flag was April of last year, 2019. Just getting around to a year at this. Not even at a year. You just fire you just finished your hundredth flag. Well, actually I’m actually at 103 right now.

20:30 – We’re going to be making the gun concealment flags and tables one day soon too. I made one coffee table that’s in our apartment right now. When you’re moving into a furniture price, that is another level.

30:00 – I was hoping that was your shop. As soon as I saw that, I was like, look for the flag and you will find me. You have to peer through my patriotism to get into this building.

40:00 – As of 2020 how many different flags are you making? I mean, I’m just gonna keep adding new ones. As you know, if anybody approaches me and they’re like, hey, can you put this on, I just say yes. For example, like their department logos? I’ve done EMS ones with their custom logo. I have a guy actually in Arizona that makes the stencils for me. So it’s one-time use until I start to get into that or I get Dyann into it.

50:00 – That’s again where she stepped into it when I was running myself dry in the beginning because I was going all over the place. If somebody lived two hours away and they reached out to me on Facebook, I’d be like, you know I can meet you halfway at an hour, right? So think about an hour there, an hour back, I was losing time and that’s gas money. So she shut that down real quick.

56:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Jason:

Honestly, I do provide for my wife and one day our kids, you know, I want to build something that they can be proud of. I want to be humble. I don’t like to be like, hey man, these are the coolest flags, like yeah, you can find better flags out there too.

Dyann:

We came a long way and not even a year later he wasn’t sure it was gonna come to anything. The first day he was like, hey babe, I want to do this, do you? A DIY project? I was just like, okay, and the first flag came out horrible. I won’t lie. The blue was over here, the stars were all over the place. But his mom actually has our first flag. She kept that, she’s gotta have the origins.

Have Your Learned To Succeed Through Failure? Today We Chat With The FAIL Coach Himself, Miha Matlievski:

One business coach has forged his approach to helping entrepreneurs and business executives by using a monumental personal failure and eventual redemption to help get others where they need to go to find their personal success and fulfillment.

At just 18 years old, Miha Matlievski, a Slovenian high school dropout, dreamed of becoming a successful entrepreneur. And he pursued it with a passion, putting in 12 years of hard work that resulted in four successful businesses and a personal net worth of $15M.

But in December 2009, an unexpected call from his bank, which had decided to foreclose on his real estate investments, brought his world crashing down around him. That one negative event instigated an avalanche of ruin for him and his businesses, resulting in his four, once-successful companies going bankrupt.

QUOTE: Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. ~ Albert Einstein

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – What you’re building is a cascading effect of negative results because you can only go so long that way and then you’re going to burn out. You’re going to reach a point where referring to your website, “I was literally ready to throw myself over the balcony”. I mean, that’s a pretty strong statement!

20:00 – The thing was, why all that happened to me, I was that crazy, winging it type of entrepreneur and not laying down any foundations. When I talk about those times, I always reference the Three Little Pigs story, and all my businesses were that first house made out of straws. When the first wind of crisis blew in, bam, it was a domino effect. Because of that, I went through depression, anxiety, darkness, suicide attempts, and so on. Until I had the aha moment and I was able to figure out that I had to take ownership of every mistake that I did in the past that led me to that failure. Then, I could start working on my personal goals and business development.

30:00 – What I see with my clients is often, I see bigger things for them than what they can see. But that’s because I was there where they weren’t yet. So it’s much easier to see and to set big goals, because, for me, eight figures, nine figures, etc, I was there. I know how to do that, I can do it again. That’s the difference.

40:00 – I was actually very stupid with my money, spending it like crazy because I could just keep making more at the time.

50:00 – You are that momentum builder and you must create a system that can then move forward. If it relies on you 24-7, 365 days a year, then that’s not scalable. You can’t create the momentum to create a movement that can go around the world. You can’t, you simply and physically can’t. So I’m not expecting me to be the one who saves the world from failure. I just want to help. More people are talking about failure, yes, but they’re still brushing it off too casually. This subject is very important.

53:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I’m guessing a majority of your audience is entrepreneurs or future entrepreneurs. So I’ll say this, the number one thing that you need as an entrepreneur is a healthy relationship with failure. That’s one thing that you will be faced with a lot and you need to know how to deal with it. The second thing that’s super, super important, is that you must build a foundation, and always go back to the foundation when you want to go to the next step. It’s just like building a house. You start with a foundation, you don’t start with the second floor. Then when you say, oh, now I want to make my house larger, you can always go back and make sure that your foundation(s) are in place for that bigger house. This same point goes for your business. I know it’s boring, I know. It feels like oh, I don’t need this. It’s so, so, so important, especially if you want to have a sustainable, long-term, and profitable business.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – Yeah six months evaluating, figuring out what the risk is, the pros, and the cons. We went through all of that and narrowed it down to the basics. Then we hired an individual for us first. So we hired, gosh, tomorrow will be the anniversary, five years ago tomorrow.

20:00 – So our clients had prepared two weeks’ worth of work based on the individual, the American that this individual was replacing, and she went to Thailand. She thought she’d have plenty of time. Well on the first Thursday at 4 am the VA had done all of the work and she was like, oh my gosh, what do I do?

30:00 – Their work ethic was through the roof and the guy was a self-starter. If he started running out of work, he would look at other areas of the business relationship to see what else could be done. I remember him, he joked around, he’s like, there was some programming or some issues with the website and he just went and taught himself code and learned how to fix the website for himself. I didn’t ask him to do that but he ran out of stuff to do.

40:00 – What we do is have a client pick options. So I give you three. So let’s say you’re the client, Scott, if I give you three amazing people. Your general feeling is, oh my god, I love them. I like all three of them and a lot of times my clients will take more than one, one or two, but those three could do that job you need. So let’s say you pick Jane. I’m going to work starting next Monday with Jane and we have different certifications. We’ve got customer service, front office, back office, we’ve got sales support, got accounting, it doesn’t really matter. This certain person gets kind of a little bit caught up on the certification, but the reality of the certification is you can hide from somebody for eight hours, okay, you know, and you can put up a good front, you can’t hide from me for 40 hours, you just can’t. I’m going to find out you’re a slacker. I’m gonna find out that you’re not smart enough to do what we need to do.

59:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I think if you’ve had a bad experience, don’t let that stop you, don’t let that fear hold you back. Yeah, we provide the easy button for people that want to do this. You don’t have to learn to know everything, we do that, we’ve done it hundreds and hundreds of times, we have that great 97.2 success rate. We definitely know what it takes to be successful. I’m not afraid to tell a client that sometimes the problem is you, so let’s fix it. We are very involved and if I think you need to do something different, I am going to help coach you through that so that you can have a better result, at least to the best of my ability. It’s important to me, again from a kind of a personal place, that we provide amazing careers for the VA but we also provide amazing talent for our clients. The only way you can do that with human capital is to care and to be open to ideas and suggestions. Have a partner that really wants what’s best for you. I feel Hiresmart, specifically, Mark and I, want our clients to experience what we know is possible because you’ve gone through it, as we’ve done it. It’s never for us. It’s never been about being the biggest, it was about being the best. So we’re a boutique. We’re not for everybody and we’re not going to be the fortune 100 VA company.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:45 – I grew up on a farm in Ohio and that’s where 50% of the time my mom taught me work ethic. It was working for my uncle, picking up, and clearing off his farmland. I cleared off the land for him and I gave him my invoice for 20 hours and he gave me $100. I’m like no he’s not very scalable out here, I’m never working for anybody else again including the wealthy you know entrepreneurial uncle I’m not doing it. I want profits which are way better than wages.

20:00 – I think if younger generations are hearing this right now, and they will be, and watching this, we’re not trying to criticize the parents here, the damage is already done. So if anything, there’s a statement I learned from a company years ago was one of our missions or value statements, “We’re all personally and collectively accountable for our results.” So the keyword there is accountability. How are we going to take accountability for what we’re going to do moving forward? Stop blaming the past, what are we moving forward?

30:00 – We live with turnkey technology, within 18 months things are obsolete, if not 12 months. Especially if you just talk about computer hardware in general. I just spent $1200 dollars on an iPhone 11 Pro. What’s up with that? $1200 dollars for a phone?! I just found that out at Christmas because I have a nine-year-old who told me that mine’s obsolete now.

45:00 – In reality we’ve taken all the costly mistakes, absorb them ourselves so that we’re shielding the investor, the end investor from those times of costly mistakes they get to buy when they buy into our system. They’re buying into all the knowledge and all the experience and all the mistakes that we’ve made over the last four years in this company. This is so they can buy a product that is third-party-inspected, twice, it’s gone through multiple checkpoints to ensure quality.

50:00 – There’s is still a risk. I mean, there are still tenants in these places, and they’re still human beings. There’s no way you can accurately predict all human behavior. So really what we’re doing is we’re in the business of minimizing, not eliminating but minimizing the amount of risk that an investor would have, no matter where they live.

57:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Part 1: I’m just gonna use my, one of my favorite quotes is from Wayne Gretzky, a famous hockey player. You miss 100% of the shots that you don’t take. I’ve learned this from my business partner who’s very much probably more of a go-getter than I am. Just get out there and take your shot.

Part 2: My last 23 years in business have been defined with failing forward So all of the young demographics out there, you guys better be listening. You’re going to make big mistakes, you’re going to fail, you’re gonna up come up against things like you can’t figure out. Statements like I don’t know how to. You’re gonna just get resourceful you’re gonna figure it out, but be okay with failure, it’s only permanent if you accept it. So I don’t ever really accept it. You want to just make sure that the mistakes that you do make, don’t let them knock you out of the game. If they knock you out of the game, then it’s Game Over, right? If you can withstand it, it’s just gonna make you that much stronger.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30: Introduction

10:00: I was reading in the Wall Street Journal this week that about $1 trillion of decision-making is being done by folks between eight to fifteen-years-old. Snapchat is around 90% of that audience right now. So they’re really concentrating on ads and the Wall Street Journal article went into trying to communicate with these companies need to synthesize the ads to both maybe spend 75% of the time speaking to the younger generation, because they do have some influence over maybe us as parents, and they’re in the buying behavior for our children.

20:20: I always tell people you should understand where you live, the market around you, and especially if there are benefits, which you were hinting at. So let’s pause on that. I never realized what my local community was about, it was about your local community and how there are tax benefits.

30:00: I just saw that there is a new technology, it’s a tech platform, getting funded as such because it’s basically just a chain of bars. However, they serve non-alcoholic drinks ONLY. They’re capitalizing on the fact that people don’t really see each other as much as they used to. It’s a hot, hot space. I’m kind of wondering when there’s going to be more technologies that actually force us to go non-digital and force you to sort of communicate, touch, feel, and see people that’s like playing sports, doing exercises and stuff like that.

42:40: I used to do a lot more of the direct sort of financial planning and working with individuals. Now, I think to myself more of how can I make the product usable for a broader base because I’m not there to talk people through it. So it’s a different way of thinking you know, running the business and when you run the business, you try to grow it the way that we’re growing. It’s different than if I were just trying to work individually and solve people’s problems.

50:00: If you don’t have passion for it, then why am I putting my dollars into it? I don’t know that I agree. I want to feel good about where I’m going with my financial angle.

53:20: Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

For me, it’s probably, always be giving. So if I’m in a position, I’m not saying that I’m the one that has all the resources and by no means do I do it, if that’s the case. I have a couple of things. Don’t keep score and always be giving because you never know, it’s always better to be a giver if you’re in a position to do so. You don’t need to worry about people following you. I think it’s just sort of a human thing. So over the years, I’ve tried to help friends find new positions, meet new people, or whatever it may be. That’s just sort of what I’ve always done.

The Importance of Communication Skills, Verbal, Written, Electronic, and Otherwise:

On today’s new #FUELUP Friday I share a brief New Years Eve daytime phone call that inspired an important reminder on positive communications. We reflect on the importance of great verbal, written, and electronic communication skills to help you succeed in business and in life. We also drop a fun and random slang term for rude people, known as Douche Nozzle’s, ha!

Douche Nozzle = (vulgar, slang, derogatory) A rude, obnoxious, or contemptible person.

Top 3 Hot Point Takeaways:

1. Treat others as you wish to be treated.
2. Positive Verbal communication.
3. Proof your written and electronic communication.
4. BONUS: Don’t forget to pause, take a deep breath.

Today’s Resource Links from the Podcast:

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30: Introduction

05:00: I’ve always worked through the local onsite land manager where we do trail building. Mostly we just try and keep the trails clear, you know, keep people happy. I’m a huge mountain biker, and I have no problem putting in some sweat equity. There are not many people who do this and I want to know that when I get down there, I could ride my bike and not have to worry about running into a blown down tree or storm damage. I bought all the toys, I got the chainsaws, I got the tools, I got the gear, so why not help out?!

10:00: Today’s show is really about improving communication skills. So I decided that with #FUELUP Fridays, depending on where I’m at in my mental state. As you can tell, I might have been a little frustrated by that douche nozzle. I just don’t respect people who don’t respect me. You know, I truly believe in an age-old statement that you know you should do unto others, you know, and expect the same in return. Treat people like you want to be treated.

15:00: Take a little risk and let other people in. But so many of us have this wall up preventing this. Over three and a half years now going on four years of podcasting, I can actually thank this platform for helping drop that off and break those barriers down. That’s why I want to kind of share this for today’s FUEL UP Friday.

20:00: Now the book is coming. I tried to talk about too much because but I do it because I kicked myself in the ass and we are working on it later tonight. I gotta get the editing done.

28:00: Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

So our final words for today a summary of the importance of verbal communication, written communication, electronic communication. Don’t forget to pause, take a deep breath, think about it, proofread it, and then move on.

Who does the 800 lb Gorilla do business with?!:

Answer – Whomever they want to!

Carl Utter is the trainer-coach and creator of the 800 lb. Gorilla growth system. The 800 lb. Gorilla may have started out small but grew over time to become the pack leader. As the alpha the 800 lb. Gorilla will generate More Leads – Sell More Deals – and put more Money in the Bank.

Imagine waking up. You check your financial dashboard. A smile comes across your face, as you realize you just had your best month ever in business- AGAIN. Your calendar is full of great prospecting who want to hire you. You find you’re closing 50% or higher of all inquiries and you have 6 months’ worth of expensed banked in your profit account.

Quote: If you’re telling you aint selling…shut up, open your ears and really learn to listen deeply to not only what people are saying…but what they are not saying…

If you’re going to be in business… why not be the biggest, baldest, most feared provider of the services you offer. The 800 lb. gorilla training and coaching program have been turning out results just like this for the last 20 years. You don’t need to struggle when you know how it’s done.

Top 3 Hot Point Takeaways:

1. Sales Training and Execution
2. Treat people like people
3. Go for the Shock Factor

Today’s Resource Links from the Podcast:

• www.carlswayworks.com

Timestamped Show Notes:

• 00:30: Introduction
• 10:00: There are three different exercises we do. Another one is we make them create a commercial. There’s one where we make them do a public service announcement and a commercial another one we make them we have, we make them pick the pros and cons of a debate, you know, so just various needs. They’re all integration exercises designed to tell you take that learning tool, a little deeper level. We always pick out the straightest, most uptight person to do the rap song.
• 15:00: I want to see how they respond, a stimulus response. So I will use the shock factor and then I’ll just sort of get kind of quiet and see who sees, and who’s sort of gone inside. See where the smoke is starting to come out of the ears.
• 21:30: Your reputation today is transparent, especially like Google reviews and Yelp. Things like Angie’s List, if you get two to three bad reviews, aka your stars… with contractors, you can go online and you can see what everybody’s experiences with that time.
• 30:00: That’s like sitting on a webinar, people who run these three to five hour webinars, well I’ve already tuned you out after 20 minutes. Sure, that may depend on the person’s ability to acquire knowledge too.
• 41:00: Many times that sales course is part of a much bigger entrepreneurial call to make sales and marketing. It’s not a specialist teaching that class.
• 50:00: There’s only one thing worse in training somebody and that is having that person take that skill with them to another company and leaving.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [00:30] Introduction
• [10:00] You can do your own health checkup. But you got to get a battery of testing done. Luckily, there’s a lot of services now you get a blood test, a stool test, you can get everything tested. But then you’re looking at money and you’re looking at it really taking a while to just figure out the best way to interpret everything.
• [20:00] The Braverman Assessment, the same Dr. Braverman of Pathmed. His book in this mindset really kind of changed my life and changed how I view brain health. What he does is he’s just connecting mood mindset and anything brain-related. He’s connecting back to these four main neurotransmitters. So he has this assessment, the Braverman assessment, you can take it and it takes about 20 minutes to complete.
• [30:00] I kind of consider it like an entry into our brand, or an entry into thinking about brain health. A lot of people are skeptical of taking supplements in general. We noticed that and I wanted to fight against that. So we do make everything fully transparent. So we put all of our ingredient suppliers. We put it all out there, where every ingredient came from.
• [41:40] I’m gonna start with the basics for sure. Diet is something that most people don’t get. The keto thing is obviously hot right now. It does have real benefits. I don’t think it’s for everyone.
• [52:00] You have got to get your sleep. That’s kind of what the first thing is because if you don’t sleep enough, and you don’t get high-quality sleep, you’re a zombie the next day. Some people kind of get used to that and they’re walking around like zombies.
• [01:02:00] Final Words

Final Words:

This is something that stuck with me for a long time, from when I was traveling in South America in 2007. I spent a couple of months traveling around and I was in the backseat of a bus in Bolivia. This white guy, very kind of rough-looking guy, you can tell he’d been there for a while, he comes off the bus. I’m like, jeez, what is this? What’s this guy doing? I’m just like this tourist guy and he’s just in it. I hear him tell the story that he was going to buy it. He’s traveling like six hours to buy a new teapot.

It really says something for the simple things in life. That got him going. He then went into this whole story on every problem comes with opportunities, and how he just got stuck down there for some reason. I didn’t ask questions, but he did make a huge opportunity of it. He now grows organic produce on his farm and he’s really loving his life down there. I took that with me, that and other people have said this statement that with every problem, there’s an opportunity.

• [40:00] In the world of investing, we’re taught to look for words to describe 80 miles an hour.
• [50:00] We default to just in case run. That’s not a good behavior in the world of growing money.
• [01:02:00] Final Words

Final Words:

Get to an image, get to a picture, if you can’t get to a picture of it, you are not allowed to buy it. If you can’t go to Yahoo Finance or stock charts and pull up an image of it, that’s three years in length, you are not allowed to buy it, unless you’re worth over a billion dollars. There’s just no account black-box investing, you’re not allowed to go into a restaurant, you’re not allowed to buy a bamboo forest in Malaysia.

You need to see a price chart by a third party company that shows you an image with the bus either going north out of town or heading south. You’re only allowed to buy buses that are already heading north. Stick with the concept that your brain wants an image. When you don’t give your brain an image, it will make one up. All things being equal, it is not going to allow you to die. So it assumes what you’re looking at is going to kill you and it’s going to act that way. That’s a bad way to go into growing money.

• [00:30] Introduction
• [10:40] The ultimate efficiency enhancers you have to figure it out. But I’m with you. When I moved to Plancorp, about four and a half years ago, the biggest life-changing move I made was time-blocking. Nobody can touch my morning. My mornings are sacred. I put big blocks on my calendar. I said do not book meetings, and it allows me in, the best thing you can do is just try not to open an email.
• [20:00] I sit down and I write and I unload. I don’t always know what I’m going to write in advance. So I mentioned when I wrote 5000 words, I said, I wonder if I could turn this into a book. I just kept going and naturally, that part was really natural to me, because I write frequently now.
• [33:00] You can go get a lot of investment advice online for super cheap, the thing we do is we just make sure people don’t get killed on their taxes and get your tax projections. You do that through eliminating surprises in a simple tax projection as a business owner. You might find that you can accelerate income or expenses, or the salary you have. Stay below that net investment, income tax and all the planning work that goes into that. That’s a big reason to outsource that so you can focus on your business.
• [40:00] I come from parents of doctors, so maybe I’m biased. Generally, you go to a professional expert, you go to the attorney. Generally, if you go to someone, you should trust that the advice is not in anyone’s interest, but making your financial life better.
• [51:55] Final Words

Final Words:

I think a lot of people just want to make sure they’re doing the right thing. Money can seem complicated but it just doesn’t have to be. Life is very complicated and you’re trying to find ways to simplify it. Don’t let it be something that you put to the side because it seems complicated. There’s a lot of great resources out there, not just my own that are helping simplify it.

The internet has done wonderful things, podcasts like this have done wonderful things in making these issues more approachable. So I really encourage you to try to, if there’s something you’ve been putting off, like your finances. That one thing you can probably think of, go ahead and just do that take care of it now because the benefit from it will compound over time.

Embrace the adventures of rejection in business and in life:

Leo Quinn is a (former cowardly) marketing consultant from Upstate NY who decided in the Summer of 2019 to overcome his fear and seek massive rejection, inspired by the book “Go For No”, co-authored by former podcast guest, Andrea Waltz. At the time of this recording, he’s heard NO 536 times on his way to A Summer of A Thousand NOs. You can see where he is today at AdventuresInRejection.com

Quote: “I can achieve EVERY goal and reach EVERY dream by simply hearing NO more often.” – Andrea Waltz

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Go For No
2. Embracing Rejection for Success
3. Carnivore Diet

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [00:30] Introduction
• [10:00] So that was my first No, and that was easy. No, I sort of knew the guy. After that. I approach I’ve got a marketing company as well, I can do a lot for companies, but I decided I wanted something quick and easy with a ton of prospects. Because I knew that I would have to make a lot of phone calls to talk to the right person.
• [23:00] I saw a thing on the internet yesterday, a guy had got a bunch of plastic pigeons. He taped this message to the plastic pigeon and mailed it. Just as the pigeon. No box, no bag, he just mailed the pigeon. So you know he got the appointment that he was looking for. So now I’m on the hunt for life-size plastic pigeons that I will attach mail to and then I will definitely follow up.
• [30:00] So encourage them to give you a no and I think so because all salespeople have wasted millions of hours on the maybe’s.
• [40:00] Most of the NO’s of these 539 have been on the phone. Okay, I’ve conquered my fear of the phone, I really need to get more in-person NO’s. I want to get back into the lumpy mail and then follow up.
• [50:00] Final Words

Final Words:

Don’t, don’t speak for someone. Let them give you the NO. As an example, I was listening to a podcast, the podcaster and his guests were talking about the sorry state of cold emails. How they hate it, they get a ton of it, and they can’t stand it. If I had heard that before I’d sent that guy a cold email, I probably would have said, hey, he’s not gonna have me on. But I was on his podcast as a result of a cold email. So don’t accept the NO, don’t give somebody a NO, let them give it to you, or give them the chance to give you the NO.

The final thing I’ll leave with is all the research I’ve done. I’ve never found a story of someone who took on a legitimate rejection challenge and had a poor result. So take on the rejection challenge, whatever it is in your business 100 rejections, 1000, 10,000, do it, stick with it, and I bet you’re gonna have a positive result by the end.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Be Truthful
2. Be Transparent
3. Filming is Storytelling

[spp-tweet tweet=”Share truth and transparency by storytelling with filming! @trevorrappleye “]

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:30″] People have this misconception of people don’t go into business with the business. They go into business with the people behind the business. The engineers, the receptionist, the CEO, people work with people. This is something I’ve learned through scaling, this is a hard part. Part of the reason why sales go away is that the buyer doesn’t trust you.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] When I first started, we tried to be number one at everything. But it’s literally impossible. Our goal now is to be number one, in one thing, and that is the corporate marketing realm. That is the storytelling authentic videos that no one else can do.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] I’m happy that you brought that up. I think a lot of people that are starting out, they’re afraid to be vulnerable or be like, hey, I’m on vacation with my mom. I haven’t seen her in a year. I’m going to get that done in a month. Just be upfront.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] It’s about every personalized experience. Every time we get a client and/or a really good lead, I spend the money to send them a custom mug. Because every morning when they wake up, they’ll see Corporate Filming. Well, I don’t need them right now. That’s the key when most people say no, it’s just a no now. It’s not a no forever.
• [spp-timestamp time=”50:00″] What you just said was one of the techniques, listening. One of the psychological triggers is, you don’t want them to remember the negative, you want to remember the positive. Think about the things you did together. Then don’t ask for anything.
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:08:00″] Final Words

Final Words:

I would say the one thing I want to leave people with, honestly, is the power of story, the power of emotion. Nothing resonates with somebody more than hearing someone’s story, hearing the passion for what they do.

Observing Gender Biases and Workplace Bias Issues While Teaching Necessary Breakthroughs with Andie and Al:

This power couple brings a unique viewpoint to both women and men looking to navigate gender bias. They are frequent keynote speakers, and conduct workshops for multinational organizations to better understand the world of gender bias.

Today they’re helping us understand that the glass ceiling still exists and what we can do to keep moving forward while working together.

Advocates for Women in the Workplace. – Andie Kramer and Al Harris

Andie Kramer and Al Harris are married practicing lawyers. They have been mentoring women and speaking and writing about gender communication for more than 30 years. Andie and Al offer women unique, balanced, and highly practical advice they can use to prevent gender biases from slowing or derailing their careers.

This power couple provides organizations—business and professional—with concrete, non- disruptive suggestions for workplace changes that will make women’s career opportunities more comparable to men’s.

Authors of the popular book Breaking Through Bias: Communication Techniques for Women to Succeed at Work, “Andie and Al” are frequent keynote speakers, and conduct workshops for multinational organizations to better understand the world of gender bias.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Avoiding and overcoming gender bias.
2. Eliminate discriminatory gender biases.
3. Communication techniques for women to succeed.

[spp-tweet tweet=”How and why’s a podcast for #Overcoming #Gender #Bias and #Workplace Breakthroughs. @AndieandAl “]

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”11:50″] You can be powerful, dressed any way you want to, you are perceived as powerful. It’s important that you’re comfortable in your own skin, but also in your own clothes. You got to find a way to both present yourself in the way you dress, the way you talk, and the way you gesture. All of those things are important for impression management.
• [spp-timestamp time=”14:45″] You want to get across a notion of, Don’t think about me as a woman, think about me as me, this is who I am. This is the kind of talent that I bring to this situation, the ambition that I have the capacity, the power, the accomplishments. So whether you’re a veterinarian, or a fighter pilot, or a, or a lawyer, or a or an Indian chief you want to be certain that people are viewing you and thinking about you as that, not just a woman.
• [spp-timestamp time=”21:00″] We refer to that is linear thinking for the guys, and all over the place for the women can be very effective.
• [spp-timestamp time=”25:00″] Part of that may also be the nature of the space that we’re in. It is very unusual to find men who are willing to speak, write, and be active in this diverse gender area that is so dominated by women.
• [spp-timestamp time=”31:00″] So regarding gender bias in workplaces, the Goldilocks dilemma is a big issue. We’ve got to change this manifesto about the Goldilocks dilemma to where we talk about what it is and the ways that it can be overcome.
• [spp-timestamp time=”35:00″] Let’s just take our profession, if you’re a beginning female associate in a law firm, the range of your behavior that’s going to help you advance your career is far more limited than the range of behavior that a senior woman partner has available to her.
• [spp-timestamp time=”43:00″] Final Words

Final Words:

Al Part 1: I would like to leave behind that men need to get involved in this issue. Men have too long left it to women, they’ve said that diversity is a women’s issue. Inclusion is a women’s issue, it’s not, it’s everybody’s issue. One thing that I’m trying to leave behind is the notion that men need to be more involved.

Andie Part 2: I would suggest that for women and men, perfection is overrated. If we strive for just perfection, we are never going to get to see or experience half of the world that is out there. We will be holding ourselves back. Perfection is overrated. Having a sense of humor can help us go a very long way in dealing with the stereotypes and the biases that we confront. This goes for whether we’re a man or a woman. Whether they’re in the workplace or in society.

Final Words:

If I have any parting messages for anyone to carry on from this theme of what we’ve been talking about is that every single thing that happens to you on the daily, within the minute, within the seconds, it’s unfolding the way that it is supposed to unfold. There’s no other way that you can look at it no matter what way you try and spin it. It is supposed to be the way that it is supposed to be. When you can become aware of that and actually sit with that and reflect on that, you’re going to move forward faster than you’ve ever moved forward before. It’s just hands down because there’s no other way to look at it.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”11:00″] I like to dump like 20 gallons of petrol on this the sort of person I am. I want to dump some petrol on this, but I don’t want it to blow up and then dissolve. I need to blow it up to create that massive amount of impact, and then keep the fire burning at a higher level. The intensity is key.
• [spp-timestamp time=”21:00″] I’m not looking for collateral damage, I’m looking at weighing up the scenarios. I’m a massive advocate and I push for this fast growth. I feel like number one, life’s too short, we should be doing things as fast as we possibly can. But fast doesn’t mean you need to go fast and loose. Doesn’t mean you go fast and loose and create a wake of destruction. I create just enough destruction behind me.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] So I’m in a sweat lodge and there was about 10 of us. There’s 10 of us sitting in this teepee. Pitch Black, couldn’t see absolutely a thing. It was just crazy. It was cold outside, let’s call it 15 degrees Celsius.
• [spp-timestamp time=”41:00″] People can see life is just a game of snakes and ladders. Right? It gives you massive levels of excitement because you don’t have to go through every block on the board.
• [spp-timestamp time=”50:00″] It’s not always bells and whistles, I was in a position where I had neglected my own fitness and health in the quest of just going all in on this growing a business right. Which a lot of people are guilty of. We think oh, no, man, I just gotta cut out all the distractions, I just got to go all in. I’m building a multimillion-dollar Empire.

Final Words:

I would say that if there’s if you take anything away from the show at all, I would say take away that failure is not a finale. It’s a fulcrum. Failure, it is a place from which we learn, we grow, and we thrive. I was giving this talk about two months ago, in Austin at Renaissance weekend and there was an astronaut in the audience. This astronaut had done three different spacewalks and at one point I said, except for you sir, because failure for you would most definitely be the finale ou there. Now for the rest of us walking around on terra firma, unless you are attached to an oxygen tether, failure is the fulcrum. Failure is the place from which we grow, we learn and we discover more things about ourselves. We realize that success might not have looked like what we expected success to look like when we first took the first step. It doesn’t mean that it’s not a success. So I would urge people to understand that failure is not a finale, it’s just fulcrum.

• [spp-timestamp time=”05:00″] There’s another voice in your head that’s like, what are you doing you crazy person, you’re going to die. Those two voices are talking to you at that moment and you have to decide which voice wins. I think people who have tested themselves who have pushed themselves to the limit, who have figured out what they’re made of, are the ones who can decide which one of those two voices win.

I’ve got young kids or I’ve got student loans, or I’ve got aging parents, there’s always something. There is always going to be some excuse so I want to just put it out there that some of these things are real, right? Well, go on a Side Quest and learn to embrace the Side Quests!
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] Fast forward six weeks later, and there I am. No notes, no net, a big red circle. There were 2600 people at the Boston Opera House, with giant theater lights, and all of a sudden, I’m giving this talk.

• [spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] Every person should be a leader and a leader shares their viewpoint. They are also willing to listen to others viewpoints and doesn’t take it personally. They’re listening to find the best way. A leader thinks how can we make this happen? Not we can’t do that. It’s never been done before.

• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] Here’s how we’re going to build trust and rapport. The hard work is here is how we’re going to manage our financials, hard work is here is who we’re going to hire, who we are not going to hire, and who’s who we’re going to fire. That’s hard work.
• [spp-timestamp time=”41:00″] What is that abundance mindset? You know, it is all about abundance. It’s not about the business, it’s about the people inside it. So it’s how we approach things, every business out there can create greater discipline and every business out there can create impact. Every business out there has great influence. That’s the challenge of today, we need both leadership and management to get that abundance mentality.
• [spp-timestamp time=”50:40″] A big piece of the mission discipline is core values. We have to make sure that every person on our team is the right fit. The right fit means that we have the same values. We have to define what those values are. So we interact appropriately, we think appropriately. It doesn’t make them a bad person. If they’re no longer with us, it just means that we’re not the right fit. Almost every time that I’ve experienced this, they do find something better. That’s a greater fit than where they were interesting.

Improve Your Attention to Detail, Set Goals in the Forefront, Discussing StrengthsFinder, and More:

Chris Denny is a researcher, trainer, consultant, and business owner. When he is not running a business or spending time with his family, he is researching attention to detail or helping others become more detail-oriented.

Chris delivers training workshops and seminars for companies and government organizations and conducts one on one coaching for high-value employees. Attention To Detail training is available via online courses.

*Goals must be out on the forefront to target them. – Chris Denny

The seed of Attention To Detail Solutions started in 2010 when Chris had an employee who was technically strong and generally valuable, aside from his low attention to detail. After searching for a book or training and finding nothing that would help, Chris started to create something that could help. He had inadvertently found a passion and after 6 years of exhaustive research, hundreds of surveys, and dozens of interviews, Chris emerged with the Attention To Detail Training™ system.

Since 2008, Chris has owned a marketing agency that is now largely operated by a small staff who allow him to focus mainly on consulting, training, and research. His training and speaking style is personal and interactive with a great deal of open discussion to ensure participants are fully engaged and getting maximum value for the time they spend in Attention To Detail Training™ workshops and seminars.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Contrastive
2. Analytical
3. Additive

*Goals must be out on the forefront to target them.

Final Words:

You always have to have the goal and it must be set out there. Whether it’s a place, a time, or an objective. The details are what take you there properly, efficiently, and successfully. I always like to make sure people understand that the two are not mutually exclusive in conversation or in reality correlation. You need one with the other in order to achieve it successfully. The big picture here is make sure you keep that in mind. However you do it, with whatever system you use, planners, whiteboards or whatever.

• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] The other part of that is that it’s very systemized. That’s where contrast of attention to detail is why the big fast food chains can be run by 16 year olds. So you end up having these billion dollar organizations that are largely operated by kids.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] The whole theme behind StrengthsFinder is you could be spinning your wheels, trying to fix a weakness that you have, or you could channel most of your energy into the your natural strengths.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] Typically, the person who I hear from is one of three people. It’s the talent development person, like the director of talent development. Second, it could be a VP level influencer. Third, it is a receptionist or an admin that is tasked with helping improve the company.

Final Words:

I’ll tell you what, the lesson that I would carry because I’m sure I have we have a lot of entrepreneurs listening, right. So and whether they’re that no matter what they’re trying to do in their life, or you’re trying to do in your life, I guarantee you 100% success, that you will reach everything that you want if you just don’t quit.

When my students come to me and say I need advice, I’m going to start a business, we sit down and we look at it like belts. In six months you can’t give up on this because you’re only a blue belt. What does your business goal look like when you’re a brown belt? What are we going to call a brown belt? What are we going to call a black belt? So I asked my people, where are you on your 10-year plan?

• [spp-timestamp time=”21:30″] Explain for the listeners who don’t know what a kata is. I’ll let the master here explain what it’s like. A prearranged sequence of moves that teach, it transmits the moves forward in time. So if I teach you the Kata, it will have all the moves of that system, the blocks, the kicks, the punches, the traps, the sweeps, all of those things.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] As we kept moving along, we have realized that the real problem here is not the video, it’s not getting results. Having traffic or your website’s terrible? We started expanding our services into all of these other areas. So we could serve the client because the video wasn’t the issue.
• [spp-timestamp time=”41:00″] That’s a really important day when I started saying that to people. Putting my big boy pants on and saying, that is not actually in our wheelhouse. We could do it. But it’s not what I want to do. Here’s somebody else who can do it far better than I can, so go there.

Final Words:

Every decision I make in my business is based on who’s going to do the work. Is it me? Or is it someone else? If it’s me that has to do the work then I don’t want to do this, I don’t want to pursue this project. That’s the way you make decisions towards getting your way down from 50 hours a week to 38 to 27 to 17. Who’s going to do the work is it me or is it someone else? It’s got to be someone else or we can’t pursue and that’s lifestyle balance.

Influencers Mentioned:

• Tom Schwab of Interview Valet

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”11:00″] I know India has different dialects. The Philippines does too. One of the great things about the Philippines is that English is the first language there. They’ll teach Math and English in elementary school.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] You can have this person do anything you’re willing to teach them to do. Now, obviously, in the beginning, I taught this guy a marketing process. You shouldn’t hire a programmer to write this content. Don’t hire an audio editor and say, hey, also do my SEO. In the beginning, I hired a general VA.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] If you’re telling me that you’re the ultimate hustler, and you’re putting in 60 to 80 hours a week, that’s a concern. What you’re showing me is that you haven’t figured it out. You don’t have a continuation game plan. That’s my concern, you didn’t build a business, you built a job.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] I’ve seen lots of people go through this. I couldn’t hire someone to do what I needed. It wasn’t cost effective here, however, it was cost-effective in the Philippines. My business grew where my business would have failed. I then reached a point where I could afford to hire someone here in the USA. I love Filipinos because they have created jobs in the US too.
• [spp-timestamp time=”52:00″] The ending advice that I always give is, you have to try it. You have to try this and see if it works for you. If you don’t try it, you’ll never know. If you tried it and it doesn’t work, at least you know. It only costs you a couple of hundred bucks. If it does work, the upside is so high. The risk here is so out of proportion of the reward. You just have to try and see what happens, that’s what I went through.

Today’s Lifestyle Podcast is with Michael Giannulis, a Goat Rancher, Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Participant, Duodenal Switch Surgery Recipient, Turned Marketing Entrepreneur.

Michael Giannulis (Gee-uh-NEW-liss – kind of like “Gee, a new list” because after all, he’s in marketing!) has overcome the odds and loves to share that story to inspire others. Mike especially thrives on connecting with entrepreneurs to motivate them to “do big things” in the world.

Quote: Life rewards those who take action, not those who take notes. – Michael Giannulis

Mike’s story begins in an average family where he had to work for everything he had. He started “at the bottom” and worked his way into the American Dream. In fact, Mike dropped out of high school, went back to get his degree and even went to college… ending up on a popular reality TV show. As a guy who started his working life stocking shelves on the overnight shift at a giant retailer, Mike has seen the spectrum.

FUEL FANS: onlyonemike.com/livethefuel

Now Mike grows and scales companies, using real-world experience to make this happen. His most recent company is on track to do $40 million in gross revenues. He is a serial entrepreneur who develops systems to help other entrepreneurs run multiple companies without having to be there.

In 2012 Mike appeared on the ABC television show Extreme Weight Loss, losing 255 pounds. He has overcome a stutter. He has gone from the bottom of the corporate ladder to the top of the mountain… and he loves helping others do the same.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Healthy Lifestyle Choices
2. Extreme Weight Loss Gained Back
3. Success Is Not A Straight Line

• Duodenal Switch writeup from The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) – https://asmbs.org/patients/bariatric-surgery-procedures#bpd

Final Words:

If there’s anything that I’m proof of, its that success is not a straight line. There are ups and downs, zigzags and turnarounds. Everything is a continuation of where you came from, and where you’re trying to go. So I would say for people that are out there, whether it’s your business or your health, or whatever it is you’re trying to focus on, just know that it’s going to be a process.

I believe in that a lot, just look for feedback. The funny thing about feedback that I tell people all the time is that feedback usually comes in the form of a problem, a complaint or an issue. That’s how feedback comes to us.

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”05:00″] We bought 500 dairy goats. Not only that, they were all pregnant. They were all set to have kids and in about the same month!
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:30″] There’s always someone else that comes up to me after and says, just so you know, you were not a goat farmer, you were a goat rancher. Farmers deal with crops and ranchers deal with animals.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] Well, I don’t want to go out and eat chicken and broccoli, I could do that at home for four bucks. So then you are like, well, I want to get the chicken marsala. I mean, you want to get like the fancy thing. That’s my problem, I controlled it to an extent. I gained back all of the weight after the show ended.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] I connect with people that are very big, like 100 plus pounds overweight. There’s not a lot of people that have been there and gone through that. I tell people you’re not going to do this by waking up at 5 am on a random Monday. Then try to run three miles, hitting the gym and drinking your egg protein shake. The human body can’t make that much of a leap. The bridge has to be very small so you will be able to walk it. After all, I lost 255 pounds and that was over 12 months.
• [spp-timestamp time=”39:40″] I really want to make sure that I’m around for a long time for my future kids. Being fat from the age of four means that I never made a conscious choice to be overweight. My mom and my family cared for me a lot. My mom worked all of the time so she was never home. She was a single mom so I grew up with my grandparents. My grandma was from Alabama and she stated that we fry everything. Everything was just fried, fried, fried.
• [spp-timestamp time=”46:00″] I think even now, being a business owner, I’ve gotten to the point where I like the business behind business. I’m getting better at creating ideas and putting together teams to build those ideas into reality. I’ve enjoyed that a lot more than the operational side. I enjoy solving problems.

Today we discuss Work-Life Balance with the ATTCK Marketing man himself, Dennis Plucinik!

Dennis Plucinik, ATTCK’s founder, started his company with the goal of doing things right. He’d spent years in the digital advertising world, where work and personal life blend into one and “work hard, play hard together” means never leaving the office—and having colleagues for drinking buddies. He found himself wondering if a company with a different kind of work culture could succeed. An environment free from stressful deadlines, late nights, weekends, and the myriad other reasons why great people quit their jobs.

Quote: “If you like doing what you do, then you never work a day.”

Dennis wanted to create a workplace where tasks get done during work hours only, and where employees don’t feel guilty for leaving at 6 PM. ATTCK takes on the projects that Dennis and the ATTCK team feel are best suited for them—projects that bring in more than just money.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. A new way of organizational structure.
2. Healthy lifestyle commitments and beating opioid addiction.
3. Work-Life Balance, like what you do.

[spp-tweet tweet=”How do you attack your own Work-Life balance?! ATTCK Your Marketing too! @DennisPlucinik “]

Final Words:

How are people approaching their life? What do they want to get out of it? What I’m trying to do is just to be happy with the decisions that I make. I think that’s an important set of principles to live by. So, you know, if you understand yourself, you understand things that make you happy, and what you really want out of it. For me, that’s surrounding myself with people who produce great work. I absolutely love what I do. I think that’s also very important to know.

It sometimes doesn’t feel like work, right? But that’s like the old cliche, it doesn’t feel like work. If you like doing what you do, then you never work a day. It’s not totally true, things get very difficult on hard days. If you find something that you’re absolutely passionate about, it’ll drive you through. It’ll carry you through those hard times. So find something that you love doing and be passionate about it. It’s not easy to do. It took me a long time to be able to do this.

It’s worth it in the end.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] It’s a very sort of flat organizational structure. So it’s meant to say a couple of things. Everybody here supports each other equally. When you’re focused on one person, the whole company is focused on that one person. It’s a little deep. That literally was the theory before we built this. I love it. It’s very creative!
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] If I’m not sure about something or not confident I can carry it through, I won’t do it. I don’t gamble, I don’t play blackjack or anything else. I think I gambled with the surgery I had, I most likely didn’t need in the end. Turns out I didn’t need it. But I couldn’t gamble and did it anyway. I didn’t want this to come up 10 years later and say, oh we actually didn’t get everything and now you’re gonna die. I just didn’t want to gamble that. So that’s sort of my MO, I’ve got to be certain about what I’m doing.
• [spp-timestamp time=”29:30″] I had some pretty serious neuropathy, which is nerve damage to your extremities, incredibly painful. The only solution was a couple of solutions that are not really perfect. The long and short of it is that as a result of the surgery, I ended up getting very quick addicted to opioids like within two weeks. So I have a really close experience with that and it’s very scary. It was effective but it’s incredibly addictive. I can see how it’s such a huge epidemic because you can have easy access to that stuff.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] People who tie working success to the quantity of hours, I’m against it. There’s quality versus quantity. Right? We have very specific ways of tracking progress and development projects. We get really nerdy on this idea. We use a system to track basically hours efficiency and call it a Velocity of Tracks that Delta. What you estimated your time would take versus what it would actually take.

Helping Companies and Individuals Tune In To

Lifter Leadership:

From TEDx Hong Kong to his home in southern California, Paresh Shah loves to

help others see the light of Lifter Leadership. Lifters can be anyone from the receptionist that brightens everyone’s day, to the call center rep who knows exactly how to listen and make an angry customer a raving fan, to senior executives and CEOs who understand that by aligning purpose with profit and consciousness, they can create 10 times the performance relative to peers, according to the Harvard Business Review.

Lifter Leadership is what organizations have been waiting for to motivate today’s unengaged worker, innovate to solve some of our biggest problems, avoid being disrupted and serve a demanding set of customers and workers with high standards for integrity, authenticity, and value for all humans on the planet.

Paresh is the Lifter behind this movement.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. What is a lifter?
2. How to become a lifter?
3. Are you born a lifter?

[spp-tweet tweet=”Become a Lifter! Join The Lifter Academy on this #BusinessPodcast @pareshLA “]

Final Words:

Are you going to be the one to uplift people like Scott did or brings people down complains, shames in today’s society? There’s a lot of shaming going on and it’s basically your choice in every moment, every moment, and every moment. So go deep on that or be shallow about it. It’s your choice.

• [spp-timestamp time=”35:30″] Look, some of the best lifters come from very regimented organizations. Let’s not get lifters wrong, lifters are everyday ordinary people who elevate their co-workers, their customers, their community, to a certain way of showing up.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] I gotta have nerds and geeks even though I don’t understand them. I may not agree with what they’re saying but they understand what’s happening. What I say in my TED Talk there, what our research is, and what our team has been researching and writing about.
• [spp-timestamp time=”54:30″] Lifters get that it’s all energy, lifters get the point that what you put out, you get out, and lifters get that it’s not just words. This is energy. It’s quantum physics. Positivity attracts positivity, it is magnetized. When we serve others, it just comes back.

The secret is to add non-shareable accountability and a negative reinforcer in order to complete the massive shift in your behavior. It really only takes a day. It only took me a second once I made the most powerful bet I ever made which was my assistant Caleb.

I made a bet that before I went to bed I would write down three things I would do tomorrow and that the bet would auto recur forever. Once I made that one bet, my life has completely changed.

I’m not saying you should start off with a humongous bet, there is power in auto-recurring and we can talk about that another time. There is so much power of just a small bet with a friend, PLEASE if you’re listening to this, do it try it out. Then, shoot me, Maneesh, an email with exactly what happened and I’ll do a giveaway!

You know very well that human beings are not designed to be awake at 11 pm, yet somehow with the invention of light bulbs, we are.

• [spp-timestamp time=”10:40″] When we first launched, it was going to be about a forming good habits product. Rapidly, we discovered that our product was the best in the world bar none for breaking BAD habits. We approach the problem of bad habits in a very fundamentally different way.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:30″] It’s about having somebody else be their boss, or in this case, their accountability buddy. For me, as the CEO of a habit change company and a CEO with pretty bad habits, I was spending a lot of my time dilly-dallying and wasting time on Facebook, chatting on messenger, etc. I really needed a boss. So when I first started a company, the idea came because I hired a girl to sit down next to me and SLAP me in the face every time I wasted time.
• [spp-timestamp time=”31:00″] We have two programs. One is a habit coaching, and one is entrepreneurial coaching. We basically bring you to work with our coach, they do exactly what I just told you and make sure you get stuff done. The second thing we have is habit coaching. We support coaches, so we help you with either a specific habit or simply helping establish good life coaching and good habits in general.
• [spp-timestamp time=”36:00″] I need this help too, as much as everybody. I’m very open about my own problems around my qualms and I often share my own computer usage, or my rescue time scores and all that stuff.

The post 253: Add A Bet, Pavlok, Habits Coaching for Entrepreneurs appeared first on LIVETHEFUEL.

World Travel, Working Overseas, Chang Mai Life, Online Marketing and Podcasting with Tom Libelt:

TOM LIBELT learned from a young age how to sell and negotiate business by getting haggled by Russian vendors. His family moved from Poland to the US to escape communism, and his parents took any job they could to survive. Seeing all this as a young man motivated him to never want a job and keep moving forward as an entrepreneur, publisher, salesman, and one of the top Polish hip hop artists.

Tom spends most of his time in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He runs Smart Brand Marketing and We Market Online Courses. Tom seems like one of those guys with the Midas Touch, where everything he works on turns into gold. He has published around 5000 Kindle books, built a successful SEO & online course marketing business, partnered with a Muay Thai champion, owned a coffee shop, a retail store, a record label, created a documentary, and released two albums with five hits on top ten Polish radio. All of it was bootstrapped and done with zero outside funding.

Quote:

“If you can’t sell, then you’re not in business. Marketing and Sales are the backbone of a company.” – Tom Libelt

[spp-tweet tweet=”If You Don’t Know How To Sell, You’re Not In Business! You Too Can LIVETHEFUEL! @tomlibelt “]

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Living and Working Abroad Is Affordable
2. Smart Branding and Marketing Is Not Fast and Easy
3. If You Don’t Know How To Sell, You’re Not In Business

Final Words:

The only thing I always tell people in business, especially if they’re not successful yet, is if you don’t know how to sell, you’re not in business. You must figure out what you’re selling, and who you’re selling to.

Influencers Mentioned:

• Lost Boyz on iTunes
• Alicia Keys
• John Lee Dumas

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:40″] Hip Hop, I didn’t know that was the thing. I mean, obviously, hip hop exists everywhere. It’s almost like the national music in Poland.
• [spp-timestamp time=”05:40″] I was independent, but I’ve worked at one of the bigger Studios. I got to meet my heroes, I met the Lost Boyz, Alicia Keys, and more!
• [spp-timestamp time=”11:00″] I have a good group of people with a lot of backbone, probably 150 people making good money. But I find that these wannabes, these ones, that are making $300 to $1,000 per month… There’s a lot of that softness, vegan hippie, and goddesses walking around.
• [spp-timestamp time=”22:00″] Amazon controls some businesses completely. I had this stance on Walmart, just like you before, but a few years ago, I took a road trip from Chicago to Vegas. On the way, I stopped in at places that I would have never stopped otherwise. All because they were just on the way locally in a few of these towns.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:40″] You know, we lost probably $20,000 four or five years ago.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:50″] Pat Flynn, one of his favorite books is Essentialism. It’s the same concept as John Lee Dumas. I’ve spoken with him as I’ve had him on the podcast. I’ve spoken with him at the World Domination Summit.
• [spp-timestamp time=”50:30″] There’s a huge group in the online marketing space, of people who come in and try to get quick money. Then, they just can’t make it and just disappear. Nothing against Click Funnels as it works for some people, but everybody’s obsessed with Click Funnels right now. It doesn’t promote a long term approach.
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:16:40″] This is the thing that you notice in any industry, anywhere in the world, someone like you that’s had some knowledge is probably not going to start talking much. But the biggest idiot on the block that hasn’t seen anything, always has an opinion.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Grow Your Podcast Influence.
2. Be Yourself and Increase Transparency.
3. Attend the Growth Now Movement LIVE event.

Final Words:

First of all, I appreciate you having me on your show. To everybody listening, the reality is this, wherever you are in life right now, that’s exactly where you’re supposed to be.

I think sometimes we often think we were supposed to be something different than we are. But we’re not. You are exactly who you’re supposed to be. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. If you want to make the future better, you have to make choices to get better, right? You have to take that first step towards growth, you have to take that first step towards the goal because you’re not going to get that goal overnight!

All that matters is really the journey and so what I say to everybody is it doesn’t matter where you come from, and it doesn’t even matter where you are right now, what matters are the decisions you’re making today to move forward. Whether that’s going to live events, as we talked about, whether that’s listening to this podcast. Whatever it is, you’re making the right choice right now. So step forward into the person you’re supposed to be!

Influencers Mentioned:

• Arthur Joseph the Vocal Awareness Coach, GNM Podcast Episode 165
• Chef Fabio Viviani
• Author Sarah Centrella
• Justin Kavanaugh
• Andre Young

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”06:00″] I knew I was just gonna throw myself to the wolves. I kind of do that to myself all the time. I started podcasting two and a half years ago and I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t do the proper amount of research.
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] I might do a little bit more of that, like bringing people on to actually coach me because I’m very very coachable. I’m willing to learn and get better and I know I’m not the best.
• [spp-timestamp time=”14:30″] I tell everybody that comes to me and says, I want to start a show, so I ask them why. I want to grow an audience in Melbourne, for example. The first thing we need to realize is that 80% of these shows are doing less than 100 downloads an episode and that’s okay.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] There are events out west that you could buy a ticket and get refunded when you get there like it’s a reward to show up but if you don’t show up, you don’t your money back. I also know when companies do that they’re going to then sell me something else. The cool part about my event is I’m not selling anything from the stage. It’s literally come in and you’ll make a big impact on your life. There are celebrity speakers like Fabio Viviani and Sarah Centrella. I feel blessed with the relationships that I’ve built that I can now give what I’ve been able to do over the last two and a half years to other people and make those connections.
• [spp-timestamp time=”25:00″] Just because you speak on stages, doesn’t mean you can’t learn from the other people speaking on stages. I speak all over the country, it’s usually on podcasting, relationship building, or whatever. I go to more events than probably most people. What I do differently is actually take action afterward.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] Justin Kavanaugh is the business consultant and coach. The guy is known as a top-five speed and performance coach in the country. He trains guys to get ready for the NFL combine, top-five like that.
• [spp-timestamp time=”35:45″] This is what I say about Lewis Howes. He is the master of branding. His live event is what I’m modeling after because I really believe in finding the master or you find a master to follow their model. His LIVE event is bonkers, it’s an amazing event it’s game-changing. I’ve been there every year, he’s high energy and it’s high energy. Dude I watched him, if you want to talk about the business side of things, last year make $200,000 in an hour because he sold 1000 tickets for $200 each, live on stage within 20 minutes.
• [spp-timestamp time=”41:00″] Top five things to grow your audience. I think number two on the list is you have to get in front of podcasters. You do that by getting on shows and getting in front of the right audience.
• [spp-timestamp time=”46:30″] Even before Top Chef, Fabio became a millionaire and lost it all. Then he was building as well again. If you’re a legit millionaire, that means you have legit meaning, you actually have a good head on your shoulders. You can always make it back.
• [spp-timestamp time=”52:44″] A question I get all the time and I don’t alway’s get the opportunity to ask other people, is where do you see podcasts going?
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:11:00″] That’s why I’m holding my event in Reading, PA, just like my podcast is live, it gets played everywhere. I can have it in Philly or I can have it in New York City and sell more tickets doing that. However, I’m holding it in Reading because I want to make an impact here in Reading for the city.

[spp-tweet tweet=”You Too Can LIVETHEFUEL! @TMSchwab “]

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Get Connected.
2. Grow Your Influence.
3. Help Others Give Back With Increased Influencers.

Final Words:

I guess what it comes down to is something I learned a long, long time ago. What’s ordinary to you is amazing to others. And I think we all underestimate what we know. And I can think of back when I was in the Navy, you could tell somebody that was new on the aircraft carrier because they would climb all the way up to the superstructure to watch the planes take off and land and then after about three days you’re like it’s normal I’m not going to do all that but yet you get off the ship and people like to watch the planes not just ordinary to me we underestimate what we know and just remember what’s ordinary to you is amazing to others and today it’s never been easier to share that with somebody to help them with it as a podcast host as a podcast guests on social media whatever you do you know help people connect with them introduce a new person a new idea to them it’ll make their life better and it will make your life better too.

Influencers Mentioned:

• Gary Vaynerchuk

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”09:00″] Strategy and more strategy, or why are we doing this?
• [spp-timestamp time=”19:17″] We had a client and there’s a great book out there called Clicksand how digital marketing is ruining your business by Bill Troy. And I think people will come back and point to that book and say he was the first one that said the emperor has no clothes. And his point was, is that a lot of what is being sold is vanity metrics. And it’s hurting your business. I love how he said in there that whales don’t click. And big fish don’t go through funnels, right. If you think you’re going to sell the CEO or the CFO of a company on your tripwire product in order for him to come in, and then, you know, give you that that million dollar contract. It’s not going to happen.
• [spp-timestamp time=”31:00″] There are some people that like Gary Vaynerchuk, who was one of those early ones that did a podcast and video. Well, some people just want to watch him talk. So they’ll do that. Somebody asked me one time, what’s podcast now? 40% of the US population listens to podcasts.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:50″] Different people need different things. I mean, we’ve got some that are, you know, spokespersons for Fortune 500 companies. Other ones are authors that are just starting out, you know, some of them, are keynote presenters. So, it’s not like you take them all through the same thing. But as we do some practice interviews, we will point that out. I.e. here are some different things to do because podcasting is different than other mediums.

Quote:

Your EVOLUTION will equal some degree of loss a well as gain. You have to be ready and willing for both! – Andre Young

Andre’s Mission:

My name is Andre Young, Founder of You Evolving Now, LLC.

[spp-tweet tweet=”You Too Can Evolve Here in 2019! @youevolvingnow “]

Top 3 Hot Points:

• Evolve Your Mindset
• Make A Plan To Support Your Vision
• Marry The Dream Not The Path

Final Words:

What is your vision? What’s your plan, because if you have a vision, without your plan, without your goals, it’s nothing. It’s a wish. So for me, it’s what is the end game. Then what’s the first step that you need to take to get there, and then doing the reps. You’ll get there and marry the dream but, not the path. The path is going to squiggle. You keep your eyes wide open, going through the detours and everything that you’ve learned. You’ll get to where you need to be not to where you thought you want it to be. Or more dangerously where you thought you deserved to be.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”06:20″] Schooling, education and the role of being a great employee vs what it takes to learn and become an entrepreneur.

Final Words:

The best marketer wins every time.

A lot of the time we focus on delivery a great product or a great service, and that’s awesome! That’s a customer retention tool. Before we think about customer retention, we have to think about customer acquisition. People only know how good you are once they’ve bought from you. Before they have bought from you, they only know how good your marketing is.

So the best marketer wins, every time. Resolve to become a great marketer.

Mary is here to discuss the power of the Communication Code. She is also the author of Conscious Communications for Harnessing The Power of Your Words.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:48″] We are a walking bottle of water, so to speak, right? 70% of our mass is water. So I’ve always thought I was a giant watermelon. I ate enough of them as a kid. You were a big watermelon geek?
• [spp-timestamp time=”02:32″] You don’t swallow the seeds, or you could choke or die. We were probably perfectly willing to swallow them and drink through drink from water hoses. I actually I used to use them as firepower. We did the whole seed spitting thing. Just load up a whole bunch of them and start spitting.
• [spp-timestamp time=”03:35″] Business communication is totally my claim to fame. I just gave two speeches and Florida at a medical conference on the concept of the Communication Code, which is a business communications strategy that I wrote and have been training on for 15 years.
• [spp-timestamp time=”04:21″] So that’s where conscious communication came from. It’s basically like 20 years ago, I started with an idea. It was an idea that had the potential to change an industry to revolutionize the collections industry, to the create connections in business that are just strong and impactful.
• [spp-timestamp time=”02:32″] It became the framework that I use to build out the personal development concepts in conscious communications.
• [spp-timestamp time=”05:41″] It was also part of that inner desire that I had, you know, I think that I think the universe works in all kinds of ways. I believe that the book happening the way that it did was exactly how it was supposed to happen, to get my name out there. I had this other desire to get out of my comfort zone and get into the personal development space. It wasn’t the foundation of what I was really there to talk about, which was how to build trust and rapport and lasting relationships and communications. Based on my extensive research of neurology, psychology, and neuro chemistry.
• [spp-timestamp time=”08:24″] I said sit down if you love debt, and no one sat down, not one person.
• [spp-timestamp time=”09:40″] We’re vulnerable to the information that we’re given, and how it’s presented to us, and a million other things. That’s where I really got my start, creating these strategies. I mean, it was my own company collecting debt. So 20 years ago, when I started my company, you know, I wanted to be different, I wanted my unique value proposition to be that I was using sales to collect this debt versus threats and intimidation. The sales really failed because of a couple of reasons.
• [spp-timestamp time=”12:49″] I know from the last show this, this wonderful, amazing fiance of yours has been a source of a lot of motivation and growth in your life. The only reason why we’re still together is because I finally started embracing vulnerability and softening the tough guy exterior and realizing that being vulnerable does not breed weakness and actually breed strength.
• [spp-timestamp time=”15:00″] I think that we don’t need to have this perception of debt in our country, that it’s a bad thing. There are plenty of times when debt is an investment. What if my company would be twice or three times the size that it is now if I would have made different investments early on. This was probably almost 20 years ago, where a lot of companies were investing in dialers and a dialer system like an automatic call dialer, an automatic call dialer system was like 100 grand.
• [spp-timestamp time=”18:18″] I remember giving you a huge green light. And I remember even after we got off the show talking for another 20 minutes or so.
• [spp-timestamp time=”19:16″] Oh, yeah. Tell me the hack, because I’ll maybe I’ll steal it. otter.ai It’s an artificial intelligence app that voice transcribes.
• [spp-timestamp time=”21:55″] The do not say words need to be read. So you’re saying that they can’t just be written down? They need to be spoken? Right. Well spoken. So the list of words that we never say are no, not, won’t, however, and unfortunately.
• [spp-timestamp time=”23:16″] The strategy that I developed is, is most frequently and easiest to use, and in business communications, however, is typically going to indicate some kind of bad news. It triggers your fight or flight and it prepares you for an argument, you know, it puts you on the defensive.
• [spp-timestamp time=”26:55″] I was doing more analytics methods and procedures, analysis and stuff like that as an analyst. But the years prior to that being on the front line coaching, developing, etc. These are the words that when you start hearing them, get ready to follow the process flow to get them to the save queue, as they are on their way out. If you can’t save them as a regular customer service rep, it was still your responsibility to try.
• [spp-timestamp time=”27:41″] Every time they would use that word, what’s happening in the body of the consumer is they’re gearing up for a fight. Now there are certain words also. So rule number two is you want to replace those negative words with words that actually work to build a connection with the consumer. So just like there are words that trigger the fight or flight, there are also words that build confidence and trigger the opposite system. They trigger the parasympathetic.
• [spp-timestamp time=”29:22″] It’s cheaper to save a customer than to market and sell and acquire a new one. I wish Verizon Wireless knew that.

• [spp-timestamp time=”29:52″] A full one week immersion, to learn how to behaviorally analyze and behaviorally coach people. You’re not just managing them, okay, you need to understand communication and emotion. This is just from one on one from a coach to an employee.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:35″] You want to replace those words with words that actually work to build a connection with the consumer. So like, for example, what if every time you wanted to say, unfortunately, you just instead said fortunately.
• She made $4,000 from one email, because when she pushed herself to eliminate the word, unfortunately, her brain was forced to come up with a solution to the problem too.
• [spp-timestamp time=”31:56″] Sometimes in customer service, you get that one person on the phone, who without a doubt, you know, this is the person who can handle your business.
• [spp-timestamp time=”34:34″] I’m asking for permission, I’m giving them some power to thing you give the person a little bit of power.
• [spp-timestamp time=”35:56″] This is the magical part of the code. You have to validate what the consumers say to you. Validation is the most powerful part of building the connection. We have a set of human needs. One of our basic human needs is the need to be heard.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:20″] She can even consider getting the nail out of the head. What she needs is to be heard, because the moment that he even forced himself rolling his eyes to say, Oh, that must be hard. You know, he’s faking it.
• [spp-timestamp time=”44:13″] All of those words in the subconscious mind plant a seed of a negative outcome, I am not going to get what I want with this person.
• [spp-timestamp time=”47:01″] When someone sees the power of conditioned responses when I learned that it was very awakening to me because see what the reason I became number one was because I would say let’s go ahead and get you signed up today. Okay, and then the person just automatically says okay.
• [spp-timestamp time=”50:25″] A classic, how to win friends and influence people.
• [spp-timestamp time=”53:37″] The psychological burden that debt creates on the consumer side.
• [spp-timestamp time=”55:55″] I’m just saying that burden exists on both sides of the dollar.
• [spp-timestamp time=”1:02:16″] Creating ultimate consistency is a game changer.
• [spp-timestamp time=”1:03:12″] From 2005 to 2006, we had 34% revenue growth. We have a business boot camp that all new hires go through.

Catching Up On Real Estate, Entrepreneurship, and Value To Attend THRIVE With Legacy Perez and Cole Hatter

AttendTHRIVE.com

Discover how to Make Money and Create Your Legacy!

#MakeMoneyMatter

Who is COLE HATTER?

Hey, what’s up! My name is Cole Hatter, and this is the part where I tell you what makes me…me.

Growing up I always knew I wanted to do something important with my life. I did not want to sneak through life unnoticed and arrive at my grave safely; I wanted to shake things up, make a difference, matter, be remembered, and have a blast while doing it. I believe most people would like to live a life that looks something like that.

So, I decided to become a firefighter. What better way to give back, make a difference, and live a meaningful life than a career serving others? Unfortunately that dream was cut short by 2 accidents 2 months apart that left me in a wheel chair. Based on my injuries at that time, firefighting was out.

My body was physically broken, my heart emotionally broken, and my bank account…it was “broke” too.

Out of desperation and an uncertain future, I pursued entrepreneurship. Fast forward a few years, and I’ve started several multimillion dollar businesses, I’m living what others tell me is a dream life, and sure enough, it’s the life I dreamed of having. It’s important to know how to make the kind of money you’ve always dreamed of making, but it’s more important to not sacrifice actually living your life while you do it.

Being rich financially is meaningless if you’re bankrupt emotionally, spiritually, in your relationships, and in your purpose.

Who is LEGACY PEREZ?

I remember as if it were yesterday, dancing on the streets of Miami for donations.

Can you imagine watching a dance film and blindly thinking that one day You could be in a movie, so you decide to leave Miami with 240 dollars, running out of gas in New Orleans, having to street perform for money to continue the journey to LA and then arriving and almost getting arrested in Santa Monica (needing a permit to street perform) then finding your way into every night club trying to find the major choreographers to battle. Being recognized for the effort and getting hired to be in “Step Up 3”

And countless other movies as well as touring with Gwen Stefani, Mariah Carey and every major artist still active, making it into the top 2% of highest paid professional dancers.

Thats a dream, more so a dream come true!

Here’s how this relates to you, everyone has a dream and there are principles to achieve this dream of YOURS.

I believe strongly with every ounce of my being that knowing the right time and getting out of your own way, as well as , giving yourself permission and coupled with a definite purpose (a clearly defined dream) and developing a burning 🔥🔥🔥 DESIRE for its Achievement is the exact thought process you can adopt in order to find yourself as the person you are intended to become.

This is what I did, and I have done it with every area of my life, and I believe that Movement is the key, and behind the movement is what’s important, YOUR “Why”.

We are all ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

“Don’t doubt yourself, and instead surround yourself with people that work just as hard if not harder than “YOU”

I’m behind Your movement!

Quote: “Your real legacy is what you give the world as opposed to what you leave the world.” – Philip McKernan

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”02:30″] THRIVE Attendees are survey’d to find out their favorite speakers and event experiences. We’ve had incredible speakers from Gary Vaynerchuck, Robert Herjavec, to Jack Canfield, Grant Cardone, to Tai Lopez. So you’re expecting them to pick one of these legendary iconic entrepreneurs. For most, their favorite part was the new connections they made. Like this podcast hosting over 30+ guest cohosts through the Thrive Tribe.
• [spp-timestamp time=”05:00″] The black Thrive hat and Cole’s face on everyone’s computer.
• [spp-timestamp time=”05:42″] Cole discussing the point on Solopreneurs vs building a team.
• [spp-timestamp time=”08:11″] Legacy jumps in on the working with a team aspect in relation to Patricia and his own real estate ventures.
• [spp-timestamp time=”12:09″] A lot of people talk about self-made, I don’t know anybody that’s quote unquote, self-made. People call me self made. I think it’s because I wasn’t handed anything. I’ve built everything from the ground up. But I built it with a team. There’s no one I’ve ever met in my life that made all their money and all their success, like literally in their basement other house, like stitching things together and selling it on the internet without anybody doing anything for themselves. Choosing the right team is super important. Putting yourself in the right space to meet people who will bring you to the next level is also important.
• [spp-timestamp time=”13:32″] It’s not necessarily unplugging from your old habits, it’s just replacing them with the new habits. So when you go to an event, like Thrive, you have the ability to meet people that are like-minded. I think it was in a book, what was it How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. He says, if he lost all his money and all his wealth, what you would do is just go to an event or somewhere where people congregate that have that had like minds and wanted to achieve high results. As almost as if it were magic, he said, he’d get his wealth back.
• [spp-timestamp time=”14:50″] Sonja meets the president of Aston Martin who is one of two women executives in all of the automotive industry. Oh and got to spend over an hour talking and learning from her at a party.
• [spp-timestamp time=”18:47″] Scott shares his wedding plans for heli-skiing in Banff, Canada. Talking illegal drones, helicopters and more with Legacy and Cole.
• [spp-timestamp time=”23:00″] Diving into the real estate subject with Legacy and Cole. So let me just start with this because for anybody who’s not doing real estate, they might say oh, this is the part of the show I’m going to tune out, because real estate’s not my thing. I think every single human on Earth should buy and hold real estate I do not think every single human on Earth should buy, fix, and flip real estate as an active income source for a career. I think that some people are to risk adverse and just quite frankly don’t have the thickness of skin required for this industry. Instead of putting money in a freakin CD at .25% you should buy and hold real estate.
• [spp-timestamp time=”23:00″] Cole agrees on 95 to 97% of real estate strategies with Grand Cardone, that 3-5% is Grant’s commercial focus. I became a millionaire investing in residential real estate. What if people are happy, they like that whole, you know, three to five, three to 10 type unit stuff.
• [spp-timestamp time=”32:40″] If you focus on commercial then that just helps free up the rest of the market for investors like Legacy to move in and take that chunk of the residential market that can yield $200k in profits.
• [spp-timestamp time=”34:00″] Legacy helps us understand the topic of Making Money With Other People’s Money. Connection to the popular book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad and the topic of OPM, Other People’s Money.
• [spp-timestamp time=”37:40″] Money grows if it moves, the Velocity of Money. Major private investors have the liquidity and don’t want to leave those funds sitting in a checking account.
• [spp-timestamp time=”41:00″] Lipstick a pig houses vs full rehab.
• [spp-timestamp time=”46:00″] Final Words

Final Words:

Legacy’s final message today:

Quoting, Philip McKernan, “Your real legacy is what you give the world as opposed to what you leave the world.” Constantly working hard to achieve whatever goals you wanna do and knowing that it’s possible. There are people left and right that don’t have the things people out there have. For the ability to do what you wanna do and just apply yourself. Find what you’re really good at, what you enjoy, what you’ve been doing for a really long time, find that certainty that you do it with and apply it to whaterver new venture you wanna do. Put your head down and just keep drilling, keep working, and that’s what I’ve done and that I know works. I believe that if anybody does this, I’m not anyone special, constantly go to work and that success will creep in. You’ll start to see that light at the end of the tunnel.

All of us out there have it, some just have a bunch of curtains covering the light that we truly have inside. The ability to let go and open up, is up to each and every one of us.

Cole’s final message today:

Stemming off of Legacy’s strong words. Regardless of your religious beliefs, whether you believe you were reincarnated, or that you have eternal life in heaven, or that you believe that you die and become dead and that’s the end of your story. We can all agree that the life we are living right now does end. So I want to remind people that “this is our one at bat”. The thing I see is that people aren’t afraid of failure, people just never get started. People say, for example, oh we are already in August so I’m going to finish this year and start what I always wanted to do this January. They’ve been saying that since 1998. So I’m just going to encourage people that life is short, life is precious, life is fragile, I’ve almost died a few times, I’ve lost people, and I have a really strong appreciation for how fragile life is. Some people go through life without any of those neardeath experiences or without any real huge loss in their lives, and they assume they have forever and that they’ll get to it someday. So on the back of what Legacy just said, I’ll had one more little thought, don’t hear that and say, he’s right and someday I will. Do It Now!

This is your shot, this is your one at bat. To use that baseball analagy or metaphor, some people get to that bat and they are just hoping to get walked. There are literally people that won’t swing at anything and they’re just praying to god, come on four balls and let me get on base through a walk. I’m not going to go down in history as the guy that was praying for a walk, I’m going to swing and I’ll either go down swinging or I’ll walk off with a grand slam. I encourage everyone to “Swing For The Fences”!

What is MAPCON?

Mid-Atlantic Podcast started (December 2014) as a Facebook group for podcasters who live in the Mid-Atlantic States (North Carolina, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and Connecticut). The idea was to bring podcasters together for meet ups, Google Hangouts and eventually grow into conferences. After seeing the interest to have a podcast (exclusive) conference in the northeast, Joe Pardo jumped on the opportunity to make it happen.

Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference (MAPCON) is an extension of Joe Pardo’s passion to host amazing events with great people..

Joe Pardo’s Present:

Over three-hundred and fifty episodes of The Business Podcast, four books, and countless memories later I am living my dream of helping other business owners. These past four years have been filled with amazing interactions with visionaries of all backgrounds.

On August 13, 2018, after over four years of being away from my family’s business, I am returning to build a franchise out of the heavy duty repair shop. You can follow my journey on the podcast and vlog as I navigate returning to the family business while building out a franchise model for the company.

Part of the journey is founding the Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference now heading into its fourth year.

Peter Greenlaw Author of TDOS and Creator of The Greenlaw Report Talking about Toxins and More:

It’s time to learn about Toxins and so much more from an expert on the experts! Peter Greenlaw discovered his mission in life 15 years ago. As history has shown us, sometimes the most profound, life-changing events come during times of turmoil. After a routine checkup, Peter learned his health was far from perfect and some drastic changes were needed if he wanted to be around to meet his grandkids. of some immediate changes or the future, he had once pictured was in danger of crumbling away. That was all he needed to hear; Peter decided to take his health back into his own hands. He started doing some of his own research, he began looking outside the box of traditional medicine, dieting, and exercise for any new practices that had possibly not hit the health and wellness radar for the masses. With the approval of his doctor, Peter began experimenting with different health, dietary and fitness protocols. During this entire period, Peter continued to collect massive amounts of information while experimenting with different nutritional technologies, exercise programs, etc.

After several months from his initial health scare, Peter returned to his doctor for his first real follow-up. Not only did Peter receive a clean bill of health, the doctor was shocked at how fast and effectively his body had bounced back in such a short timeframe. Peter would most likely tell you that was one of the main events that pushed him to keep researching and digging for answers. Knowing that if he could just help one person who was struggling like he was, it would all be worth it. Looking back, it would have been impossible to predict what the future held for Peter Greenlaw and the real impact he has had on countless numbers of people. He has no doubt helped change this world for the better through his passion to educate people on the truth regarding our health and the way the game has changed.

Along with his son, Drew and a small team of people, dedicated to sharing information on health and wellness, as well as re-educate people about what we are really up against, The Greenlaw Report is Peter’s latest platform to share this information with the world.

Peter Greenlaw and The Greenlaw Report is the voice for what you are NOT hearing from cutting-edge health science research. Peter is considered one of the leading activists alerting the world about the toxicity and lack of nutrients in our food supply and offers solutions to help you live a healthier, longer life. Peter and Drew have written four books and Peter has delivered well over 1,500 lectures around the world and has appeared on countless television shows, sharing the information he has compiled in hopes of helping one person at a time. Peter has been recognized as one of the world’s most prominent health investigative scientists and is often referred to as, “The Researcher of the Researchers”. This has given Peter the freedom to seek out and find the most important data and research as well as the latest nutritional advancements and protocols from around the world. From there, we pick and choose only the best of the best information we feel we have found with you, the reader. Remember, nothing we post here is opinion. All our research and data is scientifically backed. If we find the best, it’s not because we just think it is the best; it’s the best because it has been proven in the field, the labs and petri dishes from around the world.

Your Sales Funnels and Former Penniless and Fast Food Junkie King of the East Co-Host:

Akbar used to be homeless and penniless, living in his birthplace of San Francisco. After nearly losing his life in the hospital, as a consequence of partying and self-destructive behavior, he realized it’s time for a big change. He then quit smoking and lost 50lbs renouncing his title as “fast food junkie king of the east”. He considers himself extremely blessed to have turned his life around and is now able to live clean and abundantly.

Akbar has even co-founded an online mattress site where one of its core focuses is to eliminate homelessness in San Francisco.

Akbar helps businesses scale to 7 figures by ethically injecting principles of persuasion into their funnels. When he started online marketing he was penniless but within 12 months rose to become a top 2% earner in a 186 billion dollar industry.

Akbar says “We believe that every hardworking, honest person deserves a successful business. A lot of the time (most of the time), businesses just have terrible funnels which result in no growth. Sorry to be so blunt, but if we don’t clearly outline the problem, we can’t solve it. That’s where we come in. We master fix your broken funnel and prime your business to scale to seven figures and beyond. We do this systematically, scientifically and quickly.”

50th Podcast with 2 Co-Hosts!

Welcome to our 50th podcast of LIVETHEFUEL. For this milestone Episode, we are joined by Dr. Megan Cannon and Erin Sparrold of Mind of the Athlete. This episode is about taking the time to be more aware of the people around us and to start inflicting positive change in our lives and the people around us. Start making the complex, simple. We bring back Dr. Megan and Erin to take the mental and nutritional standpoints and help you cultivate your positive change.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”02:31″] Re-Building a healthy body image from a mental and nutritional standpoint.
• [spp-timestamp time=”05:29″] Helping people understand the benefits and the power of food, is hugely important. Knowledge is power and unfortunately, right now in the media, there is so much negative information surrounding food and nutrition. There is so much pressure put on people and negative messaging that people do not understand the positive powers food has to help you build your health.
• [spp-timestamp time=”08:00″] Body Image. You have to work with the body you have got. We are given these visual ideas of what we think our bodies should look like. But that does not always match up with the reality of our own biology.
• [spp-timestamp time=”11:08″] Perceptual body image.
• [spp-timestamp time=”14:14″] The image that we are holding ourselves to is not a healthy way to live day to day. People that compete in body sculpting, bodybuilding and physique competitions do not live like that 100% of the time.
• [spp-timestamp time=”16:54″] You can’t sustain a high level of performance consistently, you have to let your body and mind rest. That’s why there are training cycles.
• [spp-timestamp time=”18:00″] How you talk to the down curve. You need to have other things, other goals and not be setting your whole identity around one pillar. Having a sole focus is never healthy because the come-down from achieving that focus or goal can be really hard.
• [spp-timestamp time=”19:55″] Why people struggle to handle the transition from the journey to the destination
• [spp-timestamp time=”21:46″] Being aware and noticing behavioral changes. Don’t be scared to check in with people to see how they are doing. It gives the person who requires the help an outlet to talk.
• [spp-timestamp time=”24:41″] Having the dialog, being honest with each other. It helps normalize the down after competing.
• [spp-timestamp time=”26:02″] Holding ourselves accountable to be more aware of what’s actually happening with the people in our lives.
• [spp-timestamp time=”29:25″] Listen for the things that people are doing right and tell them that’s awesome. Build on the positive stuff people are doing rather than the things they are not doing right. Those small lifting moments helps build the positive habits in others. Those little bits of encouragement can be very powerful.
• [spp-timestamp time=”31:53″] It’s not the massive things we need to try and change, it’s the small things. Take 5 minutes to check in with someone. You have no idea the impact it will make on them.
• [spp-timestamp time=”33:26″] Simple things we could be doing right now.
• [spp-timestamp time=”35:42″] It’s the simple things. We need to be taking complex things from our lives and start breaking them down into very simple steps.
• [spp-timestamp time=”38:22″] Final Words of our 50th Podcast
