He was working at Future Shop, a Canadian electronics store chain where he was a cellphone salesman. Then in his fourth year in Theology, he traveled a lot and he started questioning things. He realized that the world is a lot bigger, and it changed his ideologies and shifted his perspective.He found a mentor and he wrote down what he said, modeled what he did, and mirrored what he said. Cody was a hardworking student and knows what he wants. He is a learner by heart and is always hungry for more. He is a firm believer that self-growth is the best investment a person could make, so he encourages everyone to do the same.

He got into a manufacturing company where he worked as a maintenance man and worked his way up to becoming the plant manager at the age of 28. He was making good money and earning 90 grand per year, but still hit rock bottom. He lived from paycheck to paycheck because his earnings are set for his bills.He had a huge shift in mindset, and he wanted to know how to make money in Real Estate, so educated himself by watching YouTube videos. He invested his Real Estate profits on masterminds, mentorship, and networking. He wanted to be surrounded by people who know more about the business and learn how to invest. And since then, he realized how much time he wasted with the wrong mindset he's had most of his life. With the major shift in mindset, he went from zero to 36 sales in RE.If there are things I'd like you to listen to, it's his wisdom, perseverance, and mindset, which made him an 8-figure business owner.

This helped shift his worldview and have more love and compassion for others around him.

He dove into counseling and a road of discovering the roots behind his addiction and the resources he needed to stay sober. Through that journey he had to address the shame he felt from his actions in life. Realizing the paralyzing power of shame Zach now works to coach others and bring hope to people that are stuck in their own shame and addictions. Zach now takes what he has learned in his recovery and coaches people toward sobriety and changing their lives.

Tune in! In this episode, we are going to talk about health and wellness. Her journey started when she was 32 years old, and her health suddenly went down. She went to various doctors and specialists, but nothing fixed her. In the first two years of being sick, she was diagnosed with 3 separate auto-immune conditions which include Hashimoto Thyroiditis and Eosinophilic Esophagitis. And in the third year of being sick, she gained 50lbs and had anxiety and depression. Her life became dependent on prescription pills, vitamins, and supplements where she takes more than 20 pills per day. She also needs 2 live antibody shots every month. She was told that she would die if she skipped her medications. She tried to do an ice bath and made it a regular thing. She has not felt any of the symptoms that she's had for years. She went back to her Endocrinologist and all her blood proved that her Hashimoto's condition had disappeared. Even her doctor was shocked because what she had was incurable. She made a remarkable recovery from Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, which was (until now) thought to be a permanent and degenerative condition. Her medical doctors had prescribed drugs and exhorted her to take them for the rest of her life, under the penalty of premature death. She has stopped her medications, and her health is better than ever. She is cured!If there are things I'd like you to listen to, it's her courage to do whatever it takes to be healthy and live a normal life. She is determined to fight her diseases and never loses hope.

We are also going to talk about having more time in our life, how to get over overwhelm, and how to find joy.A couple of years ago, Erin suffered from anxiety disorder and panic attacks.

She can no longer do the things she usually does, like doing a ten-mile run without having panic attacks. She also had to stop working as a Special Education teacher because she passed out once, and doesn't want to cause trauma to the children anymore. Her anxiety held her up for 9 months at home, then she got a call and was recommended to go to a homeopathic psychologist. She had an appointment and after their talk, all her years of trauma were gone. Then she decided to live a simpler life and moved to Hawaii and started a business within 24 hrs, multi 6 figure contract in a year and a half, but the simpler life she wanted didn't happen.

In the 62nd episode of Be Real, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Robert Yoho, a retired physician and author of the book Butchered by Healthcare. This episode is so timely as the media only portrays one side of the narrative and that is big pharma and media. This episode with Dr. Yoho, will hopefully show you that there's another side of v.a.c.c.i.n.e.s that big media has hidden and there are quite a few things that one should know prior to taking a v.a.c.c.i.n.e. Dr. Yoho also was the whistleblower behind how pharma is paid out and how lobbyists have corrupted the system. Whatever you decide in life is 100% your choice and I support it, I just want to make sure that the facts are being shared with everyone and that trusting the “science” may not be as scientific as one thing.Stay blessed, stay safe, share this episode, and please make sure you question everything in life. What is so sad to me, is that in order to not get censored by big media and tech companies, we had to delete and relaunch the episode and change the spelling of certain words that start with C or V. We are a free nation, we have freedom of speech. When we let that go, we lose everything. Australia has been on lockdown. They have “qu@rantine” camps. Chicago is arresting people for eating without showing a V card. New York is the same. You are supposed to get an experimental drug that crosses your brain barrier and it isn't even effective….It is time we stand up to tyranny and speak the truths. I have been saying since last year, this is not right. I am glad that people are standing up for what is right! Make sure you listen to these tracks:04:35 - C.o.v.i.d v.a.c.c.i.n.e (global predators book) - People are the prey05:45 - Threat in doctors' medical license07:07 - Thousand studies about C.o.v.i.d v.a.c.c.i.n.e being toxic12:05 - The C.o.v.i.d v.a.c.c.i.n.e study13:05 - Warnings: “Anybody under 18 should never ever get the v.a.c.c.i.n.e 'cause it kills a hundred times more of them than C.o.v.i.d does”“Pregnant women should never get a shot.

She doesn't actually want to be introduced with her profession and line of work because her sole purpose of guesting in our podcast is to inspire people, and not to advertise her business. But I can't help flexing her achievements, because she deserves proper recognition.Naomi is the owner of Naomi Mamiye Design. She designs hospitals, hotels, nursing facilities, drug rehab centers, corporate offices, and investment properties across the U.S. She mentors beginner designers as she is seen as a leader in the field. Not only is she an entrepreneur, she actively helps and coaches other people to start businesses of their own, and not see them as future competition.Before her success, achievements, and awards, Naomi went through huge obstacles when her mother passed. Those obstacles made her stronger and braver in life. When she grew older, she was still at rock bottom with no income or family to lean on. So she decided to monetize her talents to support herself.People used to laugh when she said she's starting a design firm, and instead of feeling down, she used it as fuel to propel herself ahead and prove them wrong. Years later, she is considered a leader in the design field and constantly gets asked by beginner designers for advice or to watch her do her magic.In this episode, we will talk about how she overcame the hardships she went through, and the lessons she learned along the way. If there's one thing I would like you to listen to, it's her forgiving soul and her joyful heart of helping others. I am so honored to have had this opportunity to interview such an amazing person!Make sure to follow Naomi through these channels:Website: http://naomimamiyedesign.comInstagram: naomimamiyedesignLinkedIn: naomimamiyedesign

Just like me, he is also crashing through conventional boundaries. Michael thrives at the intersection of next-generation business strategy concepts, positive psychology, and conscious capitalism. His unique methodology has revolutionized how leaders can live authentically and how organizations engage employees. Michael leverages eye-opening statistics, emotional storytelling, humor, and audience participation to deliver a memorable message with clear takeaways. He offers no-nonsense strategies to help people find confidence in their life's narrative, commonalities across generations working today, and ways to communicate with emotional intelligence.

She has won the “Accelerator Award” for inspiring people. Amy experienced some rare medical conditions in her early years, being declared as being one out of only 5 children like her in the U.K at the time. She had developed Cataracts in both her eyes leaving her almost blind, and then diagnosed with a rare nerve condition which meant she was unable to feel hot, cold, or superficial pain. Due to this nerve condition, she also developed Osteoarthritis leaving her almost wheelchair-bound and causing her growth to stop completely.The ongoing traumas of her early childhood inevitably played a major role in suppressing Amy's confidence throughout her life, especially being so short during an age when all a child wants to do is “fit in”, and certainly not stand out because they looked so different.Amy's continuous challenges in her daily life will always remain ‘real', but with a ‘work in progress' attitude, an ability to laugh at herself and to laugh in general, a continuous evolving perspective of her mind, and a loving supportive personal environment, Amy always has a positive perspective on life and loves socializing with different, interesting people, never letting her limitations affect any of her engagements or working life! She is renowned for being professional, honest, friendly, upbeat, and having a fantastic sense of humor. Her key talents include memorizing words within a fast time frame, making people feel at ease very quickly, determination to achieve close to perfection ‘as she sees it', patience in learning how things work, and the ability to think ‘outside the box.If there's one thing I'd like you to listen to, it's her positivity and courageous mindset. She didn't let her disability be her disability. I am so honored to interview such a brave and resilient woman!Make sure you listen to these tracks:04:37 - A rare medical condition where temperatures can not be felt05:58 - “I had Cataracts at the age of one.”12:35 - Getting out from the dark and negative space16:00 - Fought against low self-esteem and conquering the world18:13 - “I did get a life coach.... ‘Cause you can't really bounce off yourself.”20:41 - “We all have the choice to live in the present, or the past, or to be happy is a choice. So that instant, I made a choice to leave the past."24:51 - "When you're stuck, you overthink. And that's probably the worst thing you can do.”http://facebook.com/AmySinhaVoiceOverArtisthttp://instagram.com/amysinhavoicehttp://linkedin.com/in/amy-sinha-18b3a24b

He was born and raised in West Africa, where such occupation is more like a middle class income relative to the standards of the town.His parents gave him an opportunity to study in the United States but he refused. Who would refuse such an offer? Listen to this episode to know the reason.David shares how it's been a humbling experience for him at such a young age to be exposed to the two different sides of the coin.

On today's episode of Be Real, I welcome Michael i. Roberts for a fun and valuable conversation about branding, business promotions, books that shaped his life, and conquering the world despite introversion. Michael is a business owner and a podcaster. Through his company, Small Business Celebration, he collaborates with other small business owners to cross pollinate audiences through live digital promotion tools. He invites real people with real experiences to share their stories and make others learn from them. He delivers authenticity, which is one of the main foundations of his business. He's been able to build charisma through his introversion, and used it as a power to communicate and recalibrate his personal reserve to help himself flourish in an environment that conventionally favors extroverts. He made him and his business stand out, and made a living out of talking to people. He surrounds himself with people who complement his strengths, which has enabled him to achieve what he has now.Throughout this episode, you will learn the value of positive thinking, acknowledging failures caused by wrong decisions, imperfections, and that trying to be perfect for the image of the business, at the cost of your life, isn't worth it. Life is tough and you can get sucker-punched everyday, but it's also super rewarding if you don't give up. You can connect with Michael, listen to his podcasts, and learn more from small business owners' stories by visiting his YouTube Channel: Small Business Celebration

We go through life hoping things go as smoothly as possible. Every attempt, every encounter, every experience...we want the best results no matter what.The truth is this: life simply doesn't work that way. The universe has a sly way of throwing curveballs at us and just when we think we've got it figured out, they throw in a slider and a sinking fastball. And when this happens, we're left with a critical decision: adapt...or fade away.While we may seek the best outcome, it's the bitter defeats that help us savor the sweet taste of victory just a little bit more. It's the failures that give us the roadmap to success. It's the downfalls and the kicks to the teeth that make us resilient and give us the confidence to get off the mat and get back in the battle!On today's episode of Be Real, I welcome Jason Cercone for a candid conversation about perseverance, overcoming adversity, and navigating through life with a positive mindset. Jason is a podcaster and, through his company, Cercone Consulting, he works with brands and professionals on all things podcast communications and production.Years ago, Jason was working a job he enjoyed and making good money while, at the same time, building a business of his own on the side that he hoped would one day sustain him. As you'll learn, Jason had designed his exit from his company and had all intentions to do things the right way. Until, one morning, his company revealed they had other plans.Throughout this episode, you'll discover the power of thinking positively even when life deals you a bad hand, why it's important to deal with losses so you can appreciate gains, what happens when grit and work ethic are instilled at a young age, how small actions done consistently every day lead to big results (for better or for worse), why sports not keeping score are setting kids up for disaster, and a pivotal moment in Jason's life where everything about work ethic snapped into focus.You can connect with Jason, listen to his podcasts, and discover more about how he helps professionals by visiting jasoncercone.com today

People often waste so much of their valuable time trying to run away from experiences that didn't go their way. Without question, you have something in your past that haunts you and conjures up negative emotions every time thoughts of it resurface. It's human nature.But remember...you're not alone. Each and every one of us has a past. And each and every one of us is in control of our mindset, our actions, and our decision-making so we make changes where necessary and not let our lives be steered by negativity.Regardless of your experiences, they're yours. They make you who you are. Accomplishing a goal proves the hard work is worth it while suffering a failure helps you appreciate the good times even more while giving you something tangible to learn and grow from. It's all experience that makes you better at what you do.In this episode of Be Real, I have a powerful, inspirational conversation with Chris Mooreland, a great friend of mine and a man who has had work ethic instilled in him before he could even drive legally. In order to attend the high school his parents thought was best for him, he had to get a job so he could help them pay for it. This dedication has helped shape Chris for the long haul and his undeniable passion and purpose bleeds into his family life, his entrepreneurial ventures, and his overall health, wellness, and endurance.Chris and I share how experiences play THE key role in molding and shaping us through life. Whether it be the best of times or the worst of times, what transpires, combined with how we react and adapt to what transpires, will tell the story that defines our legacy.We also discuss the role food plays in our world and how it literally makes or breaks the way we attack life. What does a healthy diet lead to? How does an unhealthy diet start a negative spiral that impacts how we operate day-to-day? You're just one click away from the answers!

Living in a post Covid world, now, it's more crucial than ever to become a winner. Your business needs to win, your family needs to win, your health needs to win, you need to win. And in this podcast, we will talk about why winning is so crucial in 2021 more than any time ever in our existence.

Today's society is littered with fake profiles, an obsession with vanity metrics like retweets and likes, and an overall mindset that moves us further away from being our true, authentic selves. When we go online, we are constantly fed stories of glitz, glamour, and grandeur that, when viewed through an unfiltered lens, foster inferiority and put our goals and aspirations seemingly out of reach.The problem with most of what you see is that you're only getting the most current chapter of the story. All the sacrifice, all the time invested, all the failed attempts an individual experiences in reaching a state of success doesn't take center stage...when, in reality, it should. Because it's real. It's the real story that built that person.In today's noisy, constantly-changing environment, standing out requires authenticity. It requires you sharing what makes you tick with the volume turned all the way up. It requires you...being real.In this episode of Be Real, I am joined by my close friend Jay Jay for a candid discussion about the power of authenticity and what can be accomplished when you bring a sense of realness to the surface in your world. Jay Jay has found success in his life by implementing realistic, authentic approaches in both how he scales his operations AND how he treats his employees. By giving them freedom to flourish and set their own benchmarks, morale in Jay Jay's organization is at an all-time high and engagement is overflowing at every juncture.We also get into authenticity when it comes to mental health, fitness, and your ability to build meaningful, worthwhile relationships. Without the proper attention to any of these key aspects, life simply isn't as valuable.If you get something from this conversation, please recommend it to a friend, family member, colleague, or someone who needs some uplifting words of encouragement. You, and they, will be glad you did.

We all are going to have excuses in life. The difference between those who win and those who don't is the winners will challenge those excuses and those who don't win, well they fall victim to those excuses.David Goggins talks about his shortcomings. He talks about how he needed to write page by page everything in his dive manual. He knew he wasn't the best student so he worked harder than others to figure it out.Are you willing to work harder to figure it out? Or is the easy road the road you want? The one that everyone has taken. It is worn down and beat up. The flowers are all picked. The grass is gone because of all the footsteps. The question I ask myself is what am I giving up by taking the easy road?There will be times when you choose the easy road and you need to recognize them and stop. Stop because what's easy today becomes hard tomorrow!Take the hard path and mentally get tougher! If you need some help, admit it! The power that your ego has will be released the moment you admit that you need help. Then you can grow! I would love to be in your corner! If you need help, if you need a partner and pick me up, book a call - https://vikramdeol.as.me/APPLY and let's chat about you and your goals and how to get to the best version of you.It will require work, but everything you've worked for was worth it, wasn't it?✔Please Like, Subscribe and Share

A  former US Navy SEAL with 26 years of service, William Branum is the founder of NW Recovery.  At an early age William knew he wanted to be part of a team that would push him beyond whatever limits he thought he had and still enjoy the outdoors and all it had to offer.  He charged forward and became an Eagle Scout and joined the Navy immediately after graduating High School. After graduating from SEAL Training (BUD/S Class 208) he was stationed in Virginia Beach, VA then San Diego, CA, and finally Oahu, HI where he served on multiple SEAL Teams, taught SEAL Sniper School, and deployed around the globe.As with too many veterans, William suffered from numerous physical injuries and psychological symptoms that negatively impacted his well being and quality of life.  Migraines, severe anxiety, chronic pains, difficulty focusing, difficulty sleeping/falling asleep, and depression are some of the symptoms he would struggle with on a daily basis.  He tried many prescription medications to help and eventually started to “self medicate” with alcohol to help with pain and sleep issues.During his last few years of military service William started hearing more about the promising benefits of cannabinoids like CBD.  Ultimately, he chose to wait until his retirement from the military before exploring this new world of plant based benefits to help aid in his physical and psychological recovery.  Determined to maintain his Top Secret Security clearance after the military, he sought THC free options of CBD.Since his discovery of CBD, William has reduced anxiety, improved sleep, less joint pain and an overall improved quality of life.  Today William is focused on sharing the recovery benefits he has experienced through premium quality (THC Free) CBD in hopes that other Veterans and First Responders can also experience their own recovery.(Source: https://nw-recovery.com/about/)----You can find him on:IG: @william.r.branumFB: William BranumListen to this fun and motivating show! ✔Please Like, Subscribe and Share

Elisabeth is a badass! She found out decades ago that her subconscious mind needed to be reprogrammed by picking up a book in 1989. She didn't know that she was asleep and that she had a subconscious mind. She learned that if she changed her focus and chunked things down, she would be able to achieve more. The crazy thing....most people today 30 years later still don't know this.She also discovered that at a young age that without money and financial literacy she would be a slave. As a child she was told "you'll never amount to anything and that you're not going to do good" And even though she was young and living a life that would be Instagram worthy and was a beautiful woman, she felt unworthy! Does that sound familiar? Sounds too familiar to me.  Without knowing she was doing deep personal development to heal her childhood wounds she was reprogramming her subconscious to find the good in life. I absolutely loved this interview and we had a blast! Elisabeth Villiger Toufexis is not just an amazing inspiring woman, she is one that is making the world a better place. She works to educate women and get them the financial and business literacy that is needed. She is connected to many great organizations like the Global Woman's Club of Cyprus.She is a motivational speaker, a coach, an NLP practitioner and a wonderful human. You can find her on:IG - @elisabethvilligertoufexis FB & YT - Elisabeth Villiger ToufexisShe is lighting up the world and made my day brighter because of her realness.

Imagine being so poor, you can't afford a dream.This may seem like an unimaginable state, but many people go through life consumed daily by this sort of peril. A lifetime's worth of pre-programming, cognitive dissonance, and imposter syndrome transforms itself into a reality of hopelessness that seemingly no one can overcome.But it doesn't need to be this way. You don't need to settle for your present disposition if it doesn't fuel your passion and bring happiness to your days. Your inner demons do not call the shots. You have the ability to rise up, overcome, and become more than just a product of your past.In this episode of Be Real, I have the privilege of bringing Peter O. Estevez to the mic to share his powerful story.

Matt Schneider an amazing business man, instructor of the project and an overall super bad ass human. He had an interesting childhood to say the least. He had a great mom, 4 siblings but she couldn't pick a man that was going to last. She is on her 9th divorce... Imagine the revolving door of men...Imagine, having so many male figures in and out of your life. Boyfriends, father figures and how it shapes a young mans life. Due to this he has become super adaptable. He has become a man that is a wonderful father and husband. The past shapes your present. The present life that he has created is a life of stability for his family because it was lacking in his home. At the age of 11, as he was in school and friends started coming over, he finally realized that he wasn't living in a "normal" life.His journey led him to be a protector and to the law enforcement world. The world of protecting was second nature because of how he was raised. He took on the head of the household at a young age because he had to. He is a man that is never a victim of the circumstances but a victor! He loves working with his son and spending time with him, to be the father. As a special ops officer, he learned how to navigate difficult situations. He learned that you never get all the information but you have to make quick decisions, which is similar to being an entrepreneur. His past experiences have led him to being an awesome developer of people. He loves working with his entrepreneurs because these people take action. He is a team player and seriously one of the greatest men I have met. During the project, he was one of the men that made me have faith in myself that there was a reason for this madness and the outcome was worth it. He is the guy who you see across a hotel lobby and just get good vibes in your body. He lifts people and doesn't break them to grow them. He is honest and raw and this interview....Well it is just as raw and real as they come! You can find Matt on IG  at mattschneider_officialGo follow him and reach out!

Some people talk and some people walk, Zavier Buzard is one of those people who walks the walk. He owns 11 doors at the age of twenty five. At 23, he wasn't even able to buy his girlfriend Christmas presents because they had all their money tied up in investments. Now that's a dude that's got his head on straight. He's always worked exceptionally hard, but he's also thought about his future life. Zavier is a graduate of the project Class 007, my class, which is exciting, and what he's learnt in his time on this earth is that you got to have a long game. You got to have the long plan. You got to have the idea of what's going to happen tomorrow because most people are short sighted. I was as well. And he has figured out at a young age that if you have the long game in hand, you're going to do really well in life. So not only does he have 11 doors, he also flips real estate. He's engaged to an amazing, awesome woman. He's leveled up in all aspects of his life. He's doing the seventy five hard challenge because, why not? And he's a guy that you can turn to when you're feeling up or when you're feeling down. Without further ado, let me bring my boy on Zavier.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vikram-deol/message

Erin "The Fit Beard" Alejandrino is a man of wise words and deep thoughts. He has a unique way that he thinks that not only helps level you up, but makes you want to be a better human.Vice President of True Lean Nutrition, cofounder of "The Modern Day Knight Project" and cohost of the  podcast "Meathead and the Monk."In this episode Erin talks about how serving others not only helps them but it also helps the person that is doing the helping and that is OK! As Erin says, as we see others grow we grow. What a profound statement.His foundation of his growth was martial arts and fitness. Men in his opinion need to have a foundation around fitness, whether its martial arts or lifting weights. Be willing to be a white belt. Be willing to learn from others and grow. without a physical practice though, our foundation as men is limited. We jumped around to how we cope with drugs, alcohol and sex. We talked about how abstaining from sex helps us create as men enormous amounts of creative energy and helps us push through.I am so honored to have my brother Erin Alejandrino as  a guest and to call him family! To find him, he is on IG: thefitbeardYoutube: the fitbeard"If you backup a dam, power will flow" This man is a dam and powerful. So, please listen in, follow him and share this episode.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vikram-deol/message

I am so happy to have my brother on today. We met in 2019 when he got the pleasure of walking me out after quitting and ringing the bell for The Project. What he said, I can't remember but his heart was all in it. After 50 hours of pain and quitting, I didn't want a lecture of my arrogance, I wanted a friend, a brother, a compassionate few words and he delivered what I needed, because that is who this man is.He is an entrepreneur. He is a father. A businessman, a coach to youth, a great husband (more on that) and a brother and friend to me. He wasn't always this way. He went through his periods of being self absorbed and arrogant. He was demanding and unconscious of his behaviors. He treated his wife in a way that wasn't in alignment to his character because that is what he knew. He was so focused on making his businesses work that he missed many of the other aspects of life.As he was traveling and had his 2nd child, he realized he wanted to make a pivot in his life because things were no longer working and started his journey of inward work. He changed his relationships with his wife, his health, his businesses, his children and the most important with himself.As we dive deep into this, please make sure you give my boy a follow on IG: Jake_n_Blanchard or visit his site at www.jakeblanchard.com to learn more on how to work with him.This episode crossed so many layers about human development, business development and family and personal development we could have spent a week discussing. So, get ready for a packed episode with my brother Jake Blanchard!--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vikram-deol/message

Zachary was like many young adults in life and going through the motions. He was always intelligent but his mindset wasn't quite there. Luckily, for him he was given a few ques in life that he never forgot. Those small lessons led him to a life of impact and helped him change his victim mindset. He was blessed to have a lesson taught to him at a young age. He got in trouble for becoming an entrepreneur at school. Even though the school had to punish him for selling things on campus, his principal said don't forget the lessons you learned here. Later in life he would meet the person who gave him these wise words and even though he rejected her advances of getting him in to real estate, he finally one day had enough and told his wife he was quitting his job and going for it. He emptied his accounts and maxed his credit cards to pay for his real estate license and the rest is history. When you burn the boats and go all in, you will either sink or swim, but you have no more choices. You have to put out and that he has done ever since. He owns multiple companies, is a family man, a mentor and a coach. He went from being unemployable to one super productive man. He's got a great mindset, a great microphone :) and is someone I am so pleased to bring to my stage and to you. So please get your pens and paper ready, because he drops the knowldege of how he went from unemployable to having multiple streams of income. Don't forget to like, comment and share. Also please leave me a review on your favorite podcast app and a 5 star review to pay back some digital currency. We do this for free and our guests love to read the feedback.

Imagine you are 56 years young and you are army crawling through a dirt pit, down a hill, cut and bleeding, have 15 pounds of inflammation in your cut knees and elbows and your will to be better doesn't let you quit. When a 26 year old quit in hour 12, Ken kept pushing. Caught your attention yet? I met Ken Burke at The Modern Day Knight Project back in February 2021 and this 56 year old savage servant is nothing less than a spectacular human. He was as men do, reflecting on his life, no not a mid life crisis because he made poor decisions, but reflecting on what can he do now.... to leave a better legacy. To make the world that he impacts better. To learn from those who are younger than him how to be a better human and to suffer! Suffering is something that this man is not afraid of. He literally went through 75 hours of hell to become a better man to be an example to his kids and grandkids. Suffering with a group of men who suffer together allows you to open and vulnerable. It allows you to grow in a short time more than you could in years of life and it condenses years of development... but it is not for the weak. We live in a society that is scared to do the tough stuff. We want instant food, instant answers, instant responses, instant success, instant instant instant and we have become weak. Ken is not one of those men. He knows the value of looking long term. Ken isn't afraid of risks and taking the road less traveled. In 2008, yes in the boom of the bust, he decided to leave his corporate job and become an entrepreneur. I mean, who in their right mind quits a job to start a business in a down economy??? Only a crazy man haha! Then again in 2015 he left his business to buy into another business. Left great incomes to start new ventures. That opportunity lead him to a more fulfilled life and the ability to buy in to his current business. When a door closes a corridor of doors open up. However, life happens and even though his business was doing well, he wanted to level up his family and his parenting. Which lead him to my life as a teammate in the Project 007 class. Now, we talk about his life and what brought a man who didn't need to change his life, but did so many times. This is a great episode with my Brother, Mr. Ken Burke the honor man of my 007 Graduation class. (aka he was voted by everyone as the leader of our group of 16 ages 21-56) I am honored Ken to be in your presence and I love you brother.

Want to know what eating food with maggots in it at 6th grade, your uncle pulling a gun on your boarding schools gate guard and being sent to school in India all have in common to a young boy? It all has to be with feeling that you are not worthy of nice things and love and that you must fend for yourself. There is good and challenge in my story. My story taught me to be tough and resilient and love everyone, it also taught me to be cold and selfish and not trust people. I never knew why I wouldn't trust people, but it was because I realized I didn't have trust in people because I didn't have trust in my parents that they had my best interest in mind. I don't think my parents purposely tried to hurt us, but there are always unintended consequences for all of our actions. Today I share what happens when you bury these deep down and hide them under the rug. I openly talk about a few experiences who shaped me and how it also broke me down and forced me to level up and rebuild. Today, this is a solo episode about your host with the most and how how trauma can be your friend and enemy at the same time. Thank you for allowing me to share my story with you and as always, please like, comment, and share this with others. We never know whose hurting in life. We are soo good at masking ourselves now literally and physically. As always, you freaking Rock! And I love you! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vikram-deol/message

“It all starts with the power of your thought; the power of your thought trumps everything.” Today, I bring to you somebody who I think is a phenomenal human being -Steve Ecker! He is a great leader, coach, entrepreneur, a family man and he believes in family, fitness, faith, and finances. Steve emphasizes that “We're going to manufacture adversity in life. We're going to make life harder for ourselves so that when life is actually hard, we know how to deal with it.” I met Steve back in September of 2019 and he had the discipline and the physical look of somebody who I thought I could one day be. He is one of the leaders of the Modern Day Night project and he shared in the project a lot of things that I never would have expected. He went through a lot of things as a teenager and as a young adult and that's how he became the man that he is today. But behind that hard exterior, he is a guy that cares more about human development, the growth of men, and seeing people level up to the highest capacity than you would have imagined. It took me 16 months to go back to the Project to finish what I started and I am glad that I did. Creating a brotherhood with men who want to level you up is worth more than anything in the world. Men need other men to talk to, to share with and to create with. This is a great episode and I know you know a man or two who needs to here it. So, please... ✔Please Like, Subscribe and Share

The mind chooses what it wants to see, but Hoby Wedler chooses to see things beyond their appearance. Being visually impaired as a kid did not stop him from wanting what life has to offer. Dedication, family behind his back and Blind Baby Foundation 's training and support are all his anchors to be where he is now. In high school, Hoby worked with engineers, biologists and air space engineers and together they were able to launch a 10 1/2-foot rocket. He loves chemistry - he surely does! He studied at the University of California Davis where he graduated in Chemistry and he also got a degree in History. All of that because he believes that "It’s not what it looks like. When we judge someone to be a certain way, by what they look like, we’re making a big mistake. We make all this assumption about that person; It might be true but it might happen to be so far off. We have to sit down and get to know more about that person and that's when we can figure out how right or how wrong we were! So, join me as Hoby Wedler shares his inspiring story and don't forget to subscribe to B-Real! Please like, comment and share this! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vikram-deol/message

Hey everybody! I'm really excited today because we get to talk to the co-founder of the Nano-V device-Rowena Gates! In her 30’s, Rowena and her companions were going skiing when their car had a head on collision. While the rest of the group survived, Rowena suffered from damage on her thoracic nerve - a nerve goes down at the back and controls the right arm. It was severe enough that her scapula winged out at 90 degrees and her shoulder girdle collapsed. It created a lot of torque & twists in her body and it means she can't lift her arm. She went to a range of neurologists; the last one prompts her that she will never use her arm again because no one ever recovered before. She was in pain for more than 8 years but she never gave up. She knew she had to figure out the puzzle and there's no reason to give up hope because she knew she would get better at some point. Please join me as we go deeper into her story.

"When your life conditions don't match your blueprints, you are in pain!" I'm super pumped to be here with one of my really good buddies, Brayson. I met him through Tony Robbins about 2 years ago. He was born in Texas, is a special OP Airborne Ranger in the army and went to the University of Texas in San Antonio. Brayson operates a large real estate team, leads a very powerful cryptocurrency group on facebook and is overall just a super stand up guy, but that came through years of self development and riding the roller coaster of ups and downs in life. At one point in 2016, he had a different psychology and perspective. His blueprint for a successful and ideal relationships, companionship & family life was in conflict with what he envisioned. They did match not his values, expectations and beliefs. A part of him felt that it would never change and he was powerless to change it. He freaked out, maybe even had a small anxiety attack as many entrepreneurs do and wondered if this feeling of deadness would ever go. He knew he had to change his mindset and perspective, which took him eventually down the path of becoming a Tony Robbins Platinum Partner. He loves uncertainty and he loves growth! That's one of the reasons why we really connect and we can dive into that. Brayson is definitely a person who’s full of heart and full of wisdom. So, tune in as Brayson shares his challenges and successes in his relationship and business!

I'm super excited to have my buddy Isaac Lara on the podcast today. I met Isaac about a year and a half ago at the Empire Business Summit and he struck me as somebody who I wanted to get to know a little bit more over time. And as I got to get to know him more over time, he has quite the story! He was an EMT and he has closed more people's eyes for the last time that I can even count, and that hit me so hard! But at the same time, while this guy is trying to save lives, he was going through some serious depression and he was going through a mental shift. He wanted to get out of what he was doing and change his whole life to be this amazing world renowned copywriter so he can help more people with their business. So, join me and my buddy as we discuss some crazy, but inspiring stuff about work and life on this week’s B-Real episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vikram-deol/message

Growing up without his father impacted everything in his life. This guy hustled in the streets of New York and after going through a shiz storm of ups and downs realized what mattered the most. However, before that was years of partying, late nights, wild parties, not being there for his family how he wanted to. There was a realization a few years ago that the downtown San Francisco hotel or the next 15 million dollar real estate deal didn't matter as much. What mattered to him was being home and being there for his children. He figured out that if he couldn't be home with him family more often than not, then maybe right now that wasn't the right thing to do. So he picked up his wife and kids and left NYC and move to Hawaii. He hung up the party towel. He realized the most important things to him were giving back and helping others and it started with his family. He shifted his life at the top of his career to go inwards. My good friend Justin Palmer went inward and started to meditate more and had visualizations and realizations. He realized the personal struggle wasn't there to punish him but to grow him and his story is another B-Real Classic. So please welcome my buddy and an amazing entrepreneur, amazing father, amazing husband and amazing friend! Please like, comment and share this.

Look, let's face it. 2020 was a year that conditioned us to be tougher and to have more grit. It was the last 10 reps at the gym. It was the last .5 mile on the track. It was hard and it hurt. It left us sore and tired. Exhausted. Mentally and physically and emotionally. We argued with friends and loved ones. We were up and down. We bought too much toilet paper and some of you will never need to buy any again. In fact, some of you are giving it away now because you can't store it. to me, 2020 was one of the best years ever, because it made me stronger. IT forced me to look and go inward. 2020 made me think about what I want the next 10 and 20 years of my life to look like. I am glad I did because I was not moving in the direction I wanted and 2020 allowed me to pivot. I was able to buy my first rental property. I was able to make pivots. I found and lost love in 2020. That one still hurts but it makes me stronger. 2020 was not the worst year ever, but maybe, you'll look back and see it as the most character building year ever. Here is one thing I know, you need to listen to this because you need to get mentally prepared for 2021. Nothing changed except the day and if you are not prepared for 2021, it's going to be worse than 2020 for many reasons that I share inside. So, tune in, like, comment and share this powerful 2021 message of love and blessings. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vikram-deol/message
