Here’s to a Better 2022 in Mindset and Fitness Entrepreneurship!

Matthew Januszek is a health, wellness & fitness expert and entrepreneur that turned his passion into a $33 million-dollar global business.

While Escape has experienced massive changes that come with growing a global fitness company over two decades, the hallmarks that have defined and shaped us are ever-present. Matthew believes our longevity in a tough industry proves that founding a business on deeply abiding passion, sharing that passion with like-minded people and making sure it’s contagious to customers are just some of Escape’s secrets to success.
Today, the company innovates with designs and installs from concept to completion around the world. Escape offers hundreds of innovative and colorful products, from the Octagon range to athletic and strength equipment, or studio, boxing and flexibility training tools, fitness space flooring and more. In addition, Escape offers programming and education – including MOVE IT and HIIT THE DECK – for a personalized approach to exercise that brings the equipment to life.

SPECIAL Timing Note: We originally recorded this episode in October 2021.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

09:25 – I know a lot of people overthink it, and then because they overthink it, they end up really stalled with paralysis by analysis. So I’ve got to do this, go do that, I haven’t got time for this. I’m gonna, you know, start next month and I think that’s it is very simple and the thing that I think people want to do before anything, and I’ve been doing it since I was a junior bodybuilder, sort of 16-17 years old and I’ve been I’m 52 now. So I’ve been doing it for all my life pretty consistently, I’m a little bit of an anomaly. But I think for the average person that hasn’t done that consistently for years and years and years, then really, the most important thing that you need to focus on is creating a habit, where you’re gonna fit some kind of activity, or movement into your life. I’ve not actually met any people that have not been able to create a habit of cleaning their teeth, at least in the morning, and when they get up and before they go to bed in an evening.

20:30 – For whatever reason, everybody is obsessed, relationships break down for it, everything is really driven about people’s desire for money, what they think money is going to give them.

31:00 – We’ve got a pretty decent process and we’re predominantly business to business. So we work with a lot of gyms trainers, we we have a small part which is direct to consumer, but predominantly, it’s going into clubs. Most of that gives us the ability to plan out a little bit further than people who kind of want to just purchase things immediately.

35:00 – I never thought I’d ever get into unofficially designing my own space. I mean, to be fair, actually, I love the fact you guys actually do design services, which is super cool.

40:00 – You got yoga combined with spinning, boxing, etc. So you got to think of how you’re going to really differentiate yourself. There’s a lot of ways that you can do that, obviously. But a lot of people react to the simple things, I used to be a boxer, and I like boxing, and I know some friends do too, etc. So I’m going to open a boxing gym but then what.

48:22 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

I’ll just remind them of what I said at the beginning. I suppose you think that there’ll be a time where you’ll figure out how to make health and fitness important in your life. I’ve interviewed probably two or three-hundred very successful people in all areas, not just fitness, but in many different areas in business and I think consistently the one thing that that really separates those from anyone else is just finding where that fits into your life. But putting it before everything else in your hierarchy of things to do, stick fitness at the top. I think if you can make that a habit then you’ll find that dealing with all the other stuff that life throws at you on a regular basis including preventing yourself from getting totally destroyed from whatever pandemic happens and everything else that is out there, you won’t go far wrong.

800 lb Gorilla Warfare for Businesses with Carl Utter

Scott Mulvaney — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 12:00:00 +0000

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:

Sales Training and Execution
Treat people like people
Go for the Shock Factor

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.
51:25: Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

If you fail to learn, you’re learning to fail.

049: Saving Gyms Profit First with Shannon Simmons

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 13 Feb 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Profit First for Gyms and Fitness

This episode is a referral from Mike Michalowicz author of the Profit First book refers us one of his earlier adopters of the system. Shannon Simmons is one of the earliest Profit First Professionals and is here to help save gyms, fitness professionals and more.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”01:54″] How Shannon stumbled across helping Gym and Fitness centers with their accounting as a niche.
[spp-timestamp time=”04:27″] How Shannon made the transition into this niche.
[spp-timestamp time=”06:31″] Shannon was one of the first members of the P.F. Professionals. She had been doing Virtual Bookkeeping for ten years before the book came out. There were so many Entrepreneurs she wanted to help but with all the accounting jargon she knew Entrepreneurs would not relate. That is the biggest thing she likes about the system, is it was written by an Entrepreneur for an Entrepreneur, so they can relate.
[spp-timestamp time=”09:03″] You have to face reality and know where your business is, compared to where a healthy business is.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:24″] Mike recommends having at least five basic accounts, Shannon has identified three others for the fitness industry. This system works for personal life as well. Shannon uses an example of someone repaying $100,000 of debt off in 18 months by using this in their personal life.
[spp-timestamp time=”16:26″] Shannon recommends all Gym owners have an Equipment Account, even if you allocate a small amount to that account each month, it will compound by the end of the year so it can be used on new equipment.
[spp-timestamp time=”21:16″] This system is a proactive way to look at your finances.
[spp-timestamp time=”28:28″] Shannon recommends you should focus on creating the five accounts right from the beginning
[spp-timestamp time=”31:44″] There are three extra accounts Shannon has found that the fitness industry should have, one of them is the Equipment/Capital Expenses Account,
[spp-timestamp time=”33:06″] The point of Profit First is to get people to finally enjoy running their businesses, even if they are only paying themselves 2% profit, you are paying that right away. You don’t distribute your profits from the profit account until the end of each quarter. Profit First Professionals call it the “Quarterly Profit Distribution”.
[spp-timestamp time=”35:25″] You don’t take money from your Profit account and put it back into your business. Your profit is there for you to enjoy your hard work, even if it is only 1-2%, especially for gyms!
[spp-timestamp time=”37:26″] The more money we have, the more money we spend.
[spp-timestamp time=”39:37″] There are people out there that have a decent handle on their finances but are missing the enjoyment piece. Living with the income instead of living ahead of the income.
[spp-timestamp time=”44:00″] Who is your best employee? The answer is YOU! You have to compensate yourself.

Leadership, Success and your THRIVE Co-host:

Leadership builds success. The best investment in life is you. That’s right, you. It’s the one thing that gets neglected in life the most. It’s not a selfish act. Unhappy with his 9-5 career aka job, David decided to free himself and start working to help assist other millennial’s and entrepreneurial minded people. This episodes co-host is a fellow Thrive: Make Money Matter attendee. David Byler first attended the Thrive event back in 2015 and roomed with me at this year’s 2016 event.

This investment has led David to create the brand SuccessByLeadership.com.

[spp-timestamp time=”13:00″] You need an emotional trigger to help get over the fear of failure to ultimately take action.

[spp-timestamp time=”28:12″] Being efficient and effective with your money by dividing money into multiple accounts
[spp-timestamp time=”29:23″] Most people don’t control their money, so making more money won’t solve the issue
[spp-timestamp time=”30:40″] If you don’t like what you have, you have got to start thinking about what else can you do. Then you can start taking small steps. It’s not going to happen overnight.
[spp-timestamp time=”34:43″] If you want to build your freedom, make sure you build a successful team behind you.
[spp-timestamp time=”36:08″] David helps businesses with their production needs and helps people with their finances allowing them to build the life of freedom they want.
[spp-timestamp time=”37:48″] The freedom trifecta – Financial Freedom, Location Freedom, and Time Freedom
[spp-timestamp time=”40:31″] You got to get to at least one event every year. You must go invest in yourself.
[spp-timestamp time=”46:43″] It’s not always about entrepreneurship. It is about providing value. Don’t just go to events in your industry
[spp-timestamp time=”50:20″] If you want to be a millionaire, make two million so you can give a million away.
[spp-timestamp time=”51:41″] Control and constraints to allow freedom in your life

004: Physical Therapy Startups with Travis Robbins MSPT, CSCS, FAAOMPT

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 14:00:00 +0000

Today, we are onsite with the Physical Therapy Startup man himself, Travis Robbins. He’s one of the well-known physical therapists in the Greater Lehigh Valley of Eastern Pennsylvania. Robbins is the right guy in this show because he can help you understand why therapeutic exercise along with functional training are the cornerstones of good health and lifestyle. All while showing us the trials and tribulations of starting up a business.

Physical therapists examine their clients and develop an actionable plan of care that restores function, promotes movement, reduces pain and prevents disability. They work with a patient, family members, and other healthcare providers to make sure goals of the plan of care are carried out, and the patient outcomes are optimal. Part of their work is to ensure that there is balance in health, business, and lifestyle.

As it always, this is a great entertaining conversation show packed with great ideas and content that you can translate into your life, in order to FUEL your internal fire. Tune in and enjoy your dose of LIVETHEFUEL.

Today’s Physical Therapy Co-host

Travis Robbins is the co-owner of Robbins Rehabilitation and the proud father of four children Macy, Harrison and Cade, Delaney. He was born in Upstate New York and grew up milking cows on his parent’s dairy milking farm. Just like other children growing up in American ‘not affluent’ neighborhoods, Travis participated in sports like baseball, basketball, and football.

Travis holds Master of Science Degree in Physical Therapy from Ithaca College. He developed the passion of pursuing further studies in physical therapy after a lot of injuries while basketball, football and playing baseball in high school and university.

In 2003, he left his position as a clinical director of a large corporate physical therapy center to start Robbins Rehabilitation. This center is based in Allentown, Pennsylvania and has highly trained and experienced physical therapists. However, they have also opened other offices,now totaling five different locations, all committed to the word “better”. They have better therapists who guarantee better results. All of this means that their clients have a better experience.

In this episode you’ll hear:

[01:02] When did they start Robbins Rehabilitation? The struggles that Travis has encountered and where the motivation came from. How he manages to move forward despite many challenges.
[10:14] It is not a lack of resources but the lack of resourcefulness, and this is what makes many people get stuck or want to quit in what they do.
[12:02] Why an employee’s mentality is dangerous? How you break this mold.
[18:02] Getting recommendations by your medical practitioner; is it legal?
[22:19] The power of freedom of thought and decision. How Travis and his team are getting that message out there in their marketing. How do they get clients despite the strong competition out there?
[27:02] What do the physical therapists and PTA’s do. How can you become one of them or what qualifications are needed?
[34:14] The importance of scalability in business building.
[37:00] What Travis and his team are doing differently that sets them above their competitors.
[41:11] No matter what industry you are in or whatever you are doing right now, look at what other industries are doing and get the motivation and experiences from them.

And Much Much More

Travis started Robbins Rehabilitation together with his twin brother, Todd Robbins, in 2003. They had some money saved up, which they used to open a small center in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He got the motivation and the financial support from his wife. In fact, Travis reveals that through everything that he has done or screwed up, his wife has always been there for him.

You have to put part of yourself (not your entire self) into anything you are doing to achieve success. When you run into obstacles, if you are still around, you have to find a way around it. You have to become more resourceful.

Travis and I also discussed a little bit about employee’s mentality vs an entrepreneur’s mentality. People are always going to direct you to do what they’re doing right. They will always discourage you from doing what your heart desires. They will tell you that you can’t manage or succeed. You need to break the mold. I mean people who get out, can create change and new beginnings.

We also touched a little bit about the freedom of thought and decision nowadays, which I think too many people are afraid of. There are several physical therapists and physical therapy businesses out there, the competition for clients or patients in this sense, is very high. Travis revealed that they go after the 93 % of patients who don’t get a prescription from their medical practitioners, and use various marketing strategies to reach them.

Another thing that we discussed in this episode is scalability. If you want to build something that is successful, you have got to figure out your system. And part of the system has to be scalability. So if you are interested in that, then read The E-Myth by Michael Gerber.

Finally, I have a small request

Since this is my brand new show, I’ve got zero clout in the world right now. It takes a lot of work to bring something like this to fruition. Currently, my biggest asset is reviews and ratings on iTunes. When iTunes sees that this show is getting good reviews and ratings, it moves us up in importance to the “New & Noteworthy” section. A brand new show can get lots of traction from this!

So, if you wouldn’t mind, I will welcome positive reviews and ratings from you guys, love the 5 stars! Also, if you think it’s valuable; kindly share this page on Facebook or Twitter. It would mean a ton of gratitude to me as well.

If you want to be part of the growing community, please join the The FUEL Tank group on Facebook where we Fuel Your Health, Business and Lifestyle as a community.

Thanks so much, and I’m looking forward to hearing your comments about this show below.

002: Living the Startup Life with Steve Boerner and David Gritz

Scott Mulvaney — Sun, 04 Sep 2016 18:00:00 +0000

Since this only our 2nd startup show, I decided to mix things up and go out live and in person. So no home studio for this episode, we’re mobile! We are live and onsite with Steve Boerner and David Gritz in their Hatch House Ventures, Bethlehem, PA location. So yes, not one, but two co-hosts for this episode. To my right and next to me is Steve Boerner and to his right is David Gritz.

We review different successful morning routines. Steve discusses his visual practice vs David discussing his spreadsheet style that clicks better with his own processes. You can’t just picture yourself in a Lamborghini and it just happens, you own one. This goal setting takes daily practice that builds to annual success. Steve highly recommends the physical documentation process of your goals.

Today’s Startup Co-Host(s)

David I met through what else, our love of networking professionally. David Gritz is an entrepreneur, real estate investor, public speaker, and marketing expert. He serves as the vice-President of Hatch House Ventures. David joined the company after leaving an influential corporate position in the IT space. In the past three years that he has worked for Hatch House Ventures, he has bought, sold, and rented out over 15 properties with revenues nearing $1M annually. His mandate is to search and acquire future Hatch House locations. He has also helped run a successful Kickstarter campaign for a high impact exercise mat called Perfect Burpee. That same Kickstarter project was how we first worked together. He wanted to run a fitness gala to promote his startup Kickstarter. I love the Kickstarter campaigns and I never thought I’d actually get involved in one. It just so happened that they had already run a gala event up in Boston and then they needed to run one here in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. Since then we’ve been helping each out through mutual projects, networking events, and even helping to further motivate me to launch this Podcast.

Steve Boerner serves as the President and founder of Hatch House Ventures. He founded the company in November 2014, taking him around seven months to plan and execute. Steve is a serial entrepreneur who knows how to get and sustain success. He left the corporate world in 2013 after working for four years at Fortune 500 company. He also runs a consulting company called Gen-Y Consultants, which focuses on helping individuals and businesses market to millennials. Steve also works as an Adjunct Professor of Practice at the Horn School of Entrepreneurship at the University of Delaware.

Steve Boerner and David Gritz together run this exciting startup support project known as Hatch House Ventures. Did you know you can actually live among other startups to grow your community, networking, and overall supportive surroundings to launch a more successful business. We are working together, hit it off right and working together to support and promote their startup community.

As you can see, these two gentlemen are truly committed to taking their Virtual Incubator Network nationwide. As usual, this is a great insightful conversation packed with content and great ideas you can translate into your life to FUEL your internal fire.

Tune in and enjoy your dose of LIVETHEFUEL.

In this episode you’ll hear:

[01: 02] Everything you need to know about David Gritz and Steve Boerner.

[02:50] What excited them about LIVETHEFUEL and launching a podcast.

[04:44] Morning routines that they are pretty sure will help them stay consistent.

[08:02] What is unarrested power. How can it fuel your internal life?

[08:35] How you can manifest your vision. What these two gentlemen do to balance the health, business, and lifestyle concept.

[10:14] Tony Schwartz’s book: The Power of Full Engagement: Managing Energy, Not Time, Is the Key to High Performance and Personal Renewal

[14:30] How they have managed to work together and achieve success despite their differences in mindset and skillset.

[17:02] More about Hatch House Ventures and the achievements so far.

[18: 47] Struggles of being entrepreneurs in the traditional collegiate, rigid system.

[22:23] The number of companies that Hatch House is working with so far.

[23: 35] Why maintaining life balance during the startup phase is so important to battle stress.

[24: 25] Hatch House attracts a healthier, cooking from home atmosphere with different ethnic influences.

[27: 18] It’s emotional when people come and go, moving on with their journeys.

[29:25 ] Too much dependency on social media, kills numerous skills, chivalry is all but dead!

[36:20 ] A new book, Hello I’m Lost?

And Much, Much More

“We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with”, Jim Rohn

As someone who has been a serial entrepreneur, Steve Boerner is someone who is definitely trying to make a mark in this newer generation of startups. During our session, we moved from the morning routines right into the power of manifesting your future success.

You are truly the product of the five people you spend the most time with. Jim Rohn was a powerful mentor and this is just one of his famous quotes that we discussed.

The three of us get into some major differences between them that they’ve learned to use as a way to feed off of each others strengths vs weaknesses. Part of this lesson that we discuss also centers around how we all need to adapt to different learners. As professionals and even personally in our relationships we must recognize how people learn from us differently. A popular method to study is recognizing individuals differences with the VAK or Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic Learning Styles.

Use social media to your advantage. Control how you exist online and in business by pushing your own controlled content out over your own social media channels. Make sure you exist in the right way. LinkedIn is a great professional platform for just that, whether you’re an individual professional, a small business, or a major company.

Currently Hatch House has a network of 4 locations that are startup accelerators and incubators, as they do overlap right now. They do admit that they seem their niche in the industry pushing them more towards the accelerator business model. Bethlehem’s flagship location is one of the few locations that has the live in component. Not all Hatch Houses support the community residential model. This Lehigh Valley based location receives applications from all over the world for people to come stay here and work here for 12 months. The network here helps provide resources for professional networking, funding sources, and more.

They’ve since scaled their model into a licensing model to partner with higher education institutions so that these larger institutions can plug into the Hatch House resources while plugging in a working startup support model to their own campus offerings.

Open your circle of influence with Hatch House. A different spin on networking and growing your international connections from within a safe community of like-minded professionals. “It’s the only thing, nothing exists without that”.

For our startup residents, we look at their businesses to help them with their numbers, planning for employee growth, helping coach them on better hiring practices. They encourage collision within the house and online virtually between their Hatch House communities.

If you’re doing this right, everyone should have the best practices, be building lists, the best books, the best podcasts, the best network connections to fall back on and more.

Next steps are entrepreneurship courses, new services for the University customers, and a new book coming soon! Final notes from Steve and David. David leaves us with one core word, which is “Discipline”. Applying discipline in business, refine things into a process, you’ll get a more predictable outcome. Health can be improved through discipline through nutrition, exercise and the lifestyle you build within your network. Steve leaves us with the value of building “Habits”. We’re programmed to build habits. Your startup work must involve creating bulletproof consistency without even thinking about it. But it takes daily commitment to ensuring those tasks and activities build into those successful habits.

These are highly active people from all walks of life, including the people from the fitness profession like coaches and gym owners. We’ll also be focusing on startups, entrepreneurs, Internet marketers, along with all of our diverse health professionals and some fellow adrenaline junkies along the way. These people not only standout in their professions, they also have the confidence to live life with more adventure and take the necessary risks with rewards to build an epic lifestyle!

The primary goal of these episodes is to FUEL your internal fire while helping you realize that LIFE IS SHORT! I also share practical steps and tools, including strategies, smartphone apps, audiobooks, websites, stories and training courses that will support you in every step you make to improve your life.

001: Podcast Launch with Solopreneur Hour Michael O’Neal!

Scott Mulvaney — Sun, 04 Sep 2016 13:00:00 +0000

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening my great listeners joining us today from all around the world. I’m your host Scott Mulvaney, a fellow Solopreneur and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to my first ever episode of the LIVETHEFUEL Show, here to FUEL Your Health, Business and Lifestyle!

Today’s Solopreneur Co-Host

This is my first co-host and it is none other than the podcasting solopreneur master himself, Mr. Michael O’Neal. Many of you have heard his story. If not, catch up with him at http://solohour.com. His award winning podcast, The Solopreneur Hour, has been up for several years now with over 8 million downloads! It features lively conversations, bold advice and candid insights for proudly unemployable people who want to realize full prosperity and fulfillment.

Michael interviews guests and co-hosts with the best and brightest solopreneurs from all walks of life. In this episode, we will give just a recap of his background.

Born in Ohio, Michael spent 12 years there being raised in a Catholic family. As a kid, he participated in every sport known to mankind from swimming and gymnastics to skating and cycling. At age 12, he moved with his parents to a new community in the suburbs of Philadelphia. They were fed up with many problems in this state, something that forced them to relocate to Spring Hill, a little redneck town in Florida.

Michael has dedicated his life to acquire formal education. He studied music in one of the best colleges in Palm Beach, FL. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication from Temple University. Michael has also created and hosted several professional courses about internet marketing, web development and social media.

His journey to becoming a Solopreneur Master has not been as easy as you may think. He tried to do everything he could through 2008 but didn’t see much success in those life experiences. In 2009, Michael knew that he no longer wanted to trade a dollar for an hour, so he went looking for something else. That’s when he found the hidden treasures in network marketing and internet marketing. In August 2013, he started The Solopreneur Hour Podcast which aims to show the other unemployable people the correct path to business success on their terms.

In this episode you’ll hear:

[02: 45] Why I chose these three categories: Health, Business, and Lifestyle. And my plan for LIVETHEFUEL show.
[04: 14] Why live the fuel? How this show (LIVETHEFUEL) came to be.
[10: 10] All about my past lifestyle experiences, especially car racing, and the motivation that I got from them
[15: 00] How Michael got his start, leveraging his experience with the car racing, SCCA lifestyle, BMX skills, and marketing.
[25: 00] Great conversation about the lessons that we have learned from our past life experiences
[31: 03] If you are in pain or suffering, and you just keep going; that is not a healthy lifestyle.
[34: 20] Don’t let life overtake you.
[02: 45] Michael’s soon to be best-selling book about Job Security For The Unemployable.

And Much, Much More

Since this is my first show, I settled on Michael because he is my mentor. There were so many similarities that started overlapping with him which just made it easier for me to follow his feeds, content and click with him as a fellow Colorado resident to name one.

During our discussion, we talked a bit about how this show (LIVETHEFUEL) came to be, and the journey I’ve been on myself and my plans. The goal of this show is to FUEL people’s own internal fires. I chose those three categories: health, business, and lifestyle because I actually believe they all marry together quite nicely. People struggle in their businesses or working for other people’s businesses. They let their health and lifestyle fall to the wayside. So for this podcast, these are the three areas that I picked out from all of our primary life domains because I think they create a beautiful umbrella effect.

We talked about how Michael got his start, leveraging his experience with the car racing lifestyle, combined with some great lessons from marketing his podcast, The Solopreneur Hour, to the tasks he needs to do every day to be a successful solopreneur.

We then got into a great conversation about the lessons that we have learned from our past lifestyles. There are serious side effects of starting to do things to justify other things you want to spend or invest in your lifestyle. In fact, if there is any nugget to take from this show, this is the one.

Michael mentioned how instrumental the death of his parents has been in his life. He reflected a few times since then all the change he has gone through with the growth of the Solopreneur Hour show, growth of his business, coaching and mentorship stuff.

We also talked about acting and working in endurance mode. I think people let life overtake them and forget that they need time to complete many of life’s goals. If you are one of them, it’s time to click into that endurance mode and realize that you’re not going to win every single day at whatever you are doing whether it’s climbing, racing, running a business, marketing, etc. The biggest thing that I’ve taken out of all this experience so far is the endurance. Your body is capable of doing so much more. The brain controls everything. So if you’ve got a healthy mind, you’ll have a healthy body which directly impacts and helps you perform in business.

This is it. We are on our journey together. And I’m thrilled to be here with you.
