#Clockedin with Jordan Edwards

Send us a textWhen Ronald Reagan spoke at John Solleder's college commencement in 1983, he planted two seeds that would transform the young graduate's life forever: an appreciation for capitalism's liberating power and the critical importance of mentorship. That same year, John launched his first business and began a 40-year journey that would see him build four massive organizations and generate millions in sales.John's story is a masterclass in the power of continuous growth and adaptation. Once painfully shy – "I was the guy in the corner looking at my shoes" – he transformed after a chance encounter with sales trainer Tom Hopkins, who wrote six simple words on a business card that changed everything: "Do what you fear most." This philosophy helped John overcome his fear of rejection and develop the skills that would fuel decades of success.What makes John's perspective particularly valuable is his holistic approach to achievement. He emphasizes physical health through resistance training, which becomes increasingly important with age. He shares relationship wisdom gained through both triumphs and challenges, including the power of listening twice as much as speaking. Most importantly, he demonstrates the mindset that has kept him relevant and growing at 64: "Pivot and agility are the two key words in business today."Perhaps most inspiring is John's recent embrace of artificial intelligence despite having started his career when "the phone was plugged into the wall." Rather than dismissing new technology as too complex, he leveraged AI to expand his podcast reach, develop new business strategies, and forge valuable partnerships that opened unexpected doors.Ready to apply these timeless principles to your own journey? Follow John at johnsolledere.com, check out his books on Amazon, or text him directly (mentioning where you heard him) at 972-259-0875. Your next breakthrough might be just one mentor – or one pivot – away.

Send us a textWhat happens when you trade your corner office for a street piano and find more meaning in playing for strangers than climbing the corporate ladder? Steven Ridley's remarkable journey from investment banker to globe-trotting pianist reveals the transformative power of following your instincts, even when logic screams otherwise."I'd wake up miserable, knowing all I'm going to do today is something that's going to make me more miserable," Steven confesses about his former banking career. Despite winning accolades and earning substantial money, he found himself caught in the "golden handcuffs" that trap so many high-achieving professionals. His breaking point came unexpectedly - winning "analyst of the year" only confirmed how deeply disconnected he felt from his work. What followed was a spontaneous resignation that his CEO predicted would "ruin his life."Instead, that leap into the unknown led Steven to a secondhand piano on a London street, where playing for passing crowds yielded more than just coins in a hat - it delivered genuine joy and human connection. "Money has a price," Steven reflects. "What I was paying that morning in banking was everything - my passion, my freedom, my health, my relationships, my future." This powerful insight flipped his understanding of value upside down, leading to performances in 82 countries and eventually creating his own piano academy.The most compelling aspect of Steven's story isn't just his personal transformation but the wisdom he shares about creating your own path: take small, consistent steps rather than being paralyzed by the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Focus on providing value by asking "What can I do for you?" rather than "What's in it for me?" Embrace playful curiosity instead of rigid planning. And perhaps most importantly, recognize that "the only thing harder than chasing your dreams is not chasing your dreams."Ready to reconsider what success truly means in your own life? This episode might just be the permission slip you need to take that first step toward authentic fulfillment. Your piano in the street is waiting.To Learn more about Stephen Ridley: Linkedin: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/mrstephenridley To Reach Jordan:Email: Jordan@Edwards.Consulting Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ejFXH1_BjdnxG4J8u93Zw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.edwards.7503 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordanfedwards/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanedwards5/ Hope you find value in this.

Send us a textWhat would you give up to create the life you truly want? For Whitney Bonds, the answer was clear: television time, social outings, and sleep could all take a backseat to her dream of staying home with her children while building a thriving business.Whitney's transformation began during her second pregnancy when her priorities shifted dramatically. Though she had embraced the traditional path—college, corporate career, marriage—she now wanted something different. The challenge? She had no entrepreneurial role models and limited resources. "I don't come from a world of entrepreneurs," Whitney explains, "so I had to find other people who were doing what I wanted to do and study them."Starting with blogging, Whitney took consistent, strategic action while maintaining realistic expectations. Her first year yielded just $5,000—an amount that would discourage many aspiring entrepreneurs. But Whitney understood something crucial: success takes time. Studying successful bloggers had shown her that even six-figure earners often went 18 months before seeing significant returns. This perspective allowed her to "trust the process, not the progress."The turning point came when Whitney invested $75 in SEO coaching—a significant amount for someone who had quit her job and was saving every penny. That investment helped her blog generate over $200,000 the following year. But her journey wasn't without setbacks. When Pinterest's algorithm changed, her traffic plummeted from 100,000 monthly views to just 1,000. Rather than giving up, Whitney had already begun diversifying with YouTube, showcasing the importance of multiple income streams in today's digital landscape.Beyond financial freedom, Whitney emphasizes the personal growth that comes with entrepreneurship. She overcame significant fears about public speaking and camera presence, transforming from someone who said "I never want to start a YouTube channel" to a confident content creator who now employs family members and leads speaking engagements.Whitney's story illustrates that success doesn't require special connections or advantages—just clarity about what you want, willingness to learn from others, and the determination to take consistent action. As she puts it, "If you really want to start a business, every waking moment that you have available should be towards that until you get there."Ready to build your own path to freedom?

Send us a textWhat separates truly influential leaders from those who merely complete tasks? It all comes down to how they communicate. Laura Camacho, host of "Develop Your Executive Presence" podcast, reveals the critical mistake most leaders make: focusing too heavily on proving themselves rather than adding value to others.In this thought-provoking conversation, Laura introduces the powerful "flashlight concept" — the idea that in every interaction, we're either shining the light on ourselves or others. When leaders constantly highlight their own achievements and knowledge, they miss countless opportunities to create meaningful connections. Real influence happens when you turn that flashlight toward others, asking follow-up questions and showing genuine interest in their experiences.The discussion explores practical communication techniques you can implement immediately. Count how many times "I" appears in your important emails. Prepare thoughtful questions before social events. Consider how your energy levels impact your message delivery. These small shifts can dramatically transform your leadership presence.Laura also shares her personal journey as a self-described "hardcore introvert" who's built a successful career in communication. Growing up in the Deep South with a grandmother who introduced her to different languages at age four, Laura's path has been shaped by powerful influencers who showed her that women could build multi-million dollar companies when that wasn't the norm.Whether you're leading a team, building relationships, or simply wanting to communicate more effectively, this episode offers actionable insights on creating consistent routines, establishing empowering boundaries, and developing communication habits that reflect your values. Ready to stop proving yourself and start adding real value through your communication? This conversation is your starting point.To Learn more about Laura Camacho: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauramcamacho To Reach Jordan:Email: Jordan@Edwards.Consulting Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ejFXH1_BjdnxG4J8u93Zw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.edwards.7503 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordanfedwards/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanedwards5/ Hope you find value in this.

Send us a textWhat happens when everything you've built crumbles overnight? For Leo Popik, founder and CEO of Leading Peers, this wasn't a hypothetical question but a devastating reality that forced him to completely reinvent his life and career.Leo's story begins with an already challenging situation—moving his family from Brazil to the US in 2017 and battling through a grueling immigration process that cost $70,000 in legal fees while putting immense strain on his successful international events company. Just when things seemed to stabilize with his green card approval on December 31, 2019, the pandemic hit, instantly decimating his eight-figure business that operated across ten countries. The emotional toll was crushing. Sleepless nights, vendors demanding payment, employees across the globe depending on him, and a once-thriving business worth millions suddenly worthless. "I realized that a lot of my identity had been tied to the busyness of business," Leo reflects, capturing the existential crisis many entrepreneurs face when their companies falter. Through deep soul-searching conversations with his wife (a leadership coach), Leo identified four core passions that would guide his reinvention: entrepreneurship, leadership, personal development, and community building.This clarity became the blueprint for Leading Peers, an innovative CEO peer advisory organization designed to make high-quality peer groups accessible at $340/month (versus competitors' $10,000+ price tags). Leo built a model where CEOs with at least $250,000 in revenue join boards of 8 peers with expert facilitator-advisors, creating intimate communities focused on mutual growth through monthly meetings, workshops, networking events, and specialized interest groups.Five years later, Leading Peers continues to thrive with its distinctive approach summed up in its mission: "to help CEOs grow so their people and businesses prosper." Leo's journey teaches us that resilience isn't just enduring hardship—it's finding purpose within it and creating something meaningful from the ashes of what once was.Ready to connect with other growth-minded CEOs?

Send us a textWhat if your greatest weakness could become your superpower? David Price's journey from welfare recipient and drug addict to multimillion-dollar CEO reveals how even our darkest traits can fuel extraordinary success when properly channeled.In this raw and revealing conversation, David pulls back the curtain on his transformation journey. He candidly shares his early financial missteps - like impulsively buying a BMW M5 competition sight unseen and trading in perfectly good vehicles rather than getting oil changes. These costly mistakes taught him valuable lessons about wealth building that he now applies to help insurance agents nationwide build sustainable six-figure incomes.The turning point in David's life came through an unexpected path into sobriety, where he discovered his addictive personality could become his greatest asset. "I was addicted to video games, riding bikes, wrestling, junk food, drugs... and then I found Tony Robbins and self-help," he explains. By redirecting his obsessive tendencies toward personal development and business growth, he built The Price Group - an insurance agency that's disrupting industry norms by focusing on average performers rather than just superstars.David's approach to physical health, relationships, and spirituality offers practical wisdom for anyone seeking balanced success. From partnering with his mother on an Airbnb to help her overcome depression to adopting plant-based eating for optimal performance, his methods demonstrate that small, consistent actions compound into extraordinary results. As he puts it: "I'm 44 years old and literally in the best shape I've ever been. It just builds up - it's like entrepreneurship. So many people want to be rich their first week, month or year. Try doing these things for 10 years instead."Ready to transform your own challenges into opportunities?

Send us a textWhat separates those who thrive from those who merely survive? The answer lies in adopting a fighter's mindset—a perspective that transforms how you approach life's challenges. When life gets heavy, many of us default to checking out: complaining, mindless scrolling, or simply waiting for better conditions. But fighters create their own momentum. They find strength in messy situations and refuse to let difficult moments define them. This episode unpacks three powerful strategies to reclaim your fighting spirit when you find yourself drifting.First, change your language. Eliminate "I can't" and "I'm tired" from your vocabulary and start speaking as someone who's weathered storms before. The simple phrase "This is tough, but I'm tougher" can completely reshape your approach to challenges. Second, prioritize physical movement—even on your off days. Fighters know that moving your body shifts your mindset, creating energy and clarity when you need it most. Finally, commit to doing one hard thing daily. Whether it's making that difficult call, having a necessary conversation, or sending the proposal you've been delaying, fighters build confidence through consistent action rather than waiting for motivation to strike.The truth is, you don't need more motivation—you need a reminder of who you truly are. You're not soft. You're not average. You're a fighter. Today is your opportunity to step back into the ring and make your moments count. Ready to throw some punches?

Send us a textWhat happens when uncertainty becomes your superpower? In this riveting conversation with Christian Ray Flores—entrepreneur, high-performance coach, and philanthropist—we explore how extreme adversity can transform into extraordinary strength.Christian's story reads like a gripping novel: witnessing military coups, living as a refugee while his father was imprisoned in a concentration camp, observing civil wars unfold, and seeing the Soviet empire collapse firsthand. Rather than being crushed under these experiences, Christian developed what he calls "anti-fragility"—the ability to not merely survive uncertainty but to thrive because of it. "The biggest risk you can take is not taking any risks," he shares, revealing how this mindset propelled him from trauma to becoming a top pop artist across Eastern Europe in his twenties, and later, a successful entrepreneur and coach. His formula is surprisingly simple: push 20% beyond your comfort zone while maintaining 80% within it—consistently, daily.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Christian evaluates his life across five dimensions: mental health, physical health, community service, spirituality, and relationships. His perfect score in community service stems from 25 years of philanthropic work across four continents, including founding the Ascend Academy for children in Africa. His spiritual practice includes the transformative power of Sabbath—a weekly ritual of divorcing identity from productivity and experiencing pure joy.Perhaps most striking is Christian's approach to relationships, particularly his 25-year marriage where "the spark" remains vibrantly alive. His secret? "Your job is to make your wife radiant with joy." This isn't just a poetic sentiment but backed by systems: weekly dates, daily breakfasts prepared, annual marriage retreats (never missed in 25 years), and regular vacations together.Ready to redefine what success means in your life? Christian's insights reveal that fulfillment isn't one-dimensional but requires balanced growth across all domains of life.

Send us a textBurnout doesn't discriminate—it affects everyone from CEOs to stay-at-home parents.

The 4-4-4 breathing technique offers an immediate reset for your overwhelmed nervous system, lowering your heart rate and activating your body's natural relaxation response in just 12 seconds.

The daily gratitude practice we've implemented at breakfast has transformed our mental focus from what's depleting to what's nourishing.Movement breaks throughout your day, quality sleep practices, strategic delegation, and periodic digital detoxes all contribute to a more sustainable daily rhythm.

Each decline to what doesn't serve your wellbeing becomes an affirmative choice toward what truly matters. These aren't complex life overhauls—they're small, consistent choices that gradually transform exhaustion into energy and overwhelm into optimism. Ready to make these shifts in your own life?

Send us a textWilliam Young's journey as a Certified Financial Planner spans over 21 years, but his most powerful insight comes from an unexpected source—his neurodiversity. As someone on the autism spectrum, William transformed what many would consider a challenge into his professional superpower: the ability to remain emotionally steady during market turbulence when others panic.Our conversation takes us through the Five Pillars framework Jordan uses with clients: mental health, physical health, community service, relationships, and spirituality. With remarkable vulnerability, William rates himself on each pillar, revealing both triumphs and ongoing struggles. His physical transformation story—losing 41 pounds and rekindling his passion for surfing—demonstrates how finding the right community can catalyze profound life changes.The most moving segments emerge when William shares his philanthropic adventures, from rescuing dogs in Peru during the height of COVID to spending 11 days in the Borneo jungle helping rehabilitate orangutans. These experiences reflect his deep connection to animal welfare while providing him perspective-shifting encounters that have shaped his worldview.William's philosophy on "decision hygiene"—spending ten minutes each morning mentally preparing for inevitable frustrations—offers a practical approach to maintaining equanimity throughout the day. His redefinition of what constitutes a "bad day" challenges listeners to reconsider how they frame daily challenges and disappointments.For those seeking to improve their financial health alongside personal wellbeing, William emphasizes that financial independence provides a foundation for pursuing deeper fulfillment. His integrated approach reminds us that true wealth encompasses far more than what's in our accounts—it's about building a life rich in purpose, meaningful relationships, and self-awareness.Connect with William by searching "Will R Young CFP" to learn how his holistic approach to financial planning might help you align your resources with your deepest values.To Learn more about Will: Email: Will.Young@ampf.com To Reach Jordan:Email: Jordan@Edwards.Consulting Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ejFXH1_BjdnxG4J8u93Zw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.edwards.7503 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordanfedwards/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanedwards5/ Hope you find value in this.

Send us a textGenuine hospitality isn't just a business strategy—it's a way of life for Gino Tiozzo, second-generation owner of Tampa's legendary Donatello Restaurant. In this revealing conversation, Gino shares how a foundation of respect and attentiveness has sustained his family's restaurant for an extraordinary 40 years."To sum it up in one word, it's hospitality," Gino explains, crediting his father Guido for teaching him to treat customers as though they were entering their home. This philosophy has created something remarkable in today's transient restaurant landscape—a team where 30% of staff members have served for more than three decades. When staff members have been part of your life since you were 12 years old, as Gino notes, "We become family."The journey hasn't always been straightforward. Gino candidly discusses his temporary departure from the restaurant to explore other paths, including construction, which taught him valuable humility before returning to work alongside his father. Their relationship evolved from the tensions of a young man wanting to implement changes to a symbiotic partnership built on mutual respect—a process that took nearly a decade.We explore the balancing act between maintaining beloved traditions (like presenting every woman with a rose upon departure) while staying relevant for new generations. Gino shares captivating stories of hosting Robert Kennedy Jr., NFL legends, and how the restaurant's annual Thanksgiving service provides a Donatello experience to 1,000 people in need, supported by dozens of community volunteers.Behind the exquisite cuisine lies a deeper connection to Venice, Italy, with original artwork created specifically for the space, hand-applied gold and silver leaf details, and authentic Venetian masks. Through special events like opera nights and Carnival celebrations, Donatello doesn't just serve food—it creates an immersive cultural experience.Listen in as Gino reveals how focusing on attentiveness and courtesy—qualities we can all apply to our daily lives—creates not just a successful business but a community institution that spans generations. What small gestures might transform your relationships and work? The answers await in this thought-provoking conversation.

Send us a textHave you ever stopped to define what makes a day "good" or "bad"? In this compact, value-packed episode of Hashtag Clocked In podcast, I share a perspective shift that could completely transform how you experience every single day of your life.Most of us unconsciously allow external circumstances to dictate whether we're having a "good" or "bad" day. When your boss criticizes you, traffic is terrible, or small mishaps pile up, you might write off the entire day as "bad" without a second thought. But what if the power to define these fundamental concepts rested entirely with you?Drawing inspiration from Tony Robbins, I explore the liberating definition of a "good day" simply as waking up and having another opportunity at life. This immediate reframe acknowledges the gift that each new day represents—regardless of what challenges it might bring. Paired with this is a more meaningful definition of what constitutes a truly "bad day"—reserving this label exclusively for days when we lose someone close to us, rather than everyday setbacks.This five-minute mental framework offers a powerful tool for maintaining perspective, avoiding self-pity, and appreciating the fundamental gift of being alive. Whether you're facing major obstacles or minor inconveniences, taking control of how you define your experience can be transformative. If you find value in these shorter, concentrated wisdom sessions, let me know in the comments—I've got at least ten more planned if you're interested!

Send us a textWhat separates truly exceptional leaders from those who merely hold positions of authority? Jim Carlough's leadership journey—from being elected city councilman at 22 to navigating complex corporate environments—reveals a profound truth: authentic leadership flows from how we treat people in every moment, not just during formal meetings or decision-making.Through personal stories that span decades, Jim introduces us to his "non-negotiable pillar" of leadership integrity—a daily practice of asking whether he's done anything for personal gain at the expense of others. This simple yet transformative reflection has guided him since 1983 and forms the foundation of the trust he builds with teams. When Jim shares how he managed a department facing elimination, we witness the unexpected result: the highest employee satisfaction in a 20,000-person company, despite team members knowing their jobs would eventually disappear.What makes this conversation particularly valuable is how Jim extends leadership principles beyond the boardroom into five essential life pillars: mental health, physical wellbeing, community service, relationships, and spirituality. Whether discussing the critical distinction between compassion and empathy, revealing how he engages with employees struggling with personal challenges, or sharing small acts of kindness that create ripple effects in communities, Jim demonstrates that leadership is a 24/7 practice that begins "when your feet hit the floor in the morning."For anyone seeking to evolve as a leader—whether you're managing a corporate team, teaching a classroom, parenting children, or simply wanting to make a positive impact in your community—this episode offers practical wisdom about creating inclusive environments where people feel genuinely seen and valued. Jim's recently published book distills these insights into six human characteristics that transcend traditional leadership frameworks and remind us that at its core, leadership is about authentic connection.Have you been viewing leadership as a title rather than a way of being? Listen now to discover how small, intentional actions can transform your impact on others and create ripples of positive change in every area of your life.To Learn more about Jim: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimcarlough To Reach Jordan:Email: Jordan@Edwards.Consulting Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ejFXH1_BjdnxG4J8u93Zw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.edwards.7503 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordanfedwards/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanedwards5/ Hope you find value in this.

Send us a textIs e-commerce still viable in today's economic climate? According to Neil Twa, CEO of Voltage Holdings which manages more than 21 brands, the answer is an emphatic yes. With Amazon showing consistent 13% annual growth and container shipping costs dropping significantly, Neil is doubling down on his e-commerce investments for 2025, seeing tremendous opportunity on the horizon.Throughout this enlightening conversation, Neil shares his remarkable journey from IBM corporate life to e-commerce entrepreneurship. After witnessing a colleague miss important family moments, Neil made the radical decision to prioritize time with his family over traditional career advancement. This shift in priorities led him to experiment with mobile marketing, affiliate marketing, and eventually physical products on Amazon—discovering a systematic approach to e-commerce success that contradicts conventional wisdom.The most surprising revelation? Neil doesn't see himself as selling products to customers. "I sell data to AI engines," he explains, detailing how his company tests multiple product variations with small batch runs (100-500 units) to discover which data sets resonate most with Amazon's algorithms. This contrarian approach minimizes risk while maximizing learning opportunities—a strategy that helped him build multiple seven-figure brands after realizing that controlling both the marketing and the product was essential for sustainable growth.Beyond business strategies, Neil shares his "Five Profits" philosophy that places faith, family, friends, and freedom above financial gain. Living on 50 acres with his homeschooled family, he's created a life that aligns with his values while building a thriving e-commerce empire. For anyone feeling trapped in their current circumstances, Neil offers this perspective-shifting advice: "Change your language from 'I can't' to 'I won't'—everything we do is a choice."Want to learn more about building purposeful e-commerce businesses?

Send us a textFreedom arrives in an unexpected package: the realization that no one is coming to save you. This liberating truth sits at the heart of Jordan Edwards' powerful five-minute Value Bomb that might just transform how you approach everything in your life.Drawing from Jocko Willink's concept of "Extreme Ownership," Jordan challenges us to embrace radical accountability – not just for our obvious choices, but for everything that touches our lives. This mindset shift eliminated his tendency to blame others and revolutionized his approach to challenges. When you claim ownership of your circumstances, you simultaneously claim the power to change them."You are the driver of your own life," Jordan reminds us with passionate conviction. This isn't about self-blame but self-empowerment. The path to authentic living begins when we stop waiting for rescue and start taking control. The accountability muscle might be uncomfortable to develop at first, but it builds the genuine self-confidence needed to create lasting change.Jordan delivers this message in a concentrated five-minute format designed for those who need transformative ideas without lengthy explanations. His parting question lingers long after listening: "What are you upset about and what have you not taken control of?" The answer could be the first step toward the life you truly want. Remember, you can make a decision and change anything at any moment – what will you choose to change today?

Send us a textWhat if the secret to transforming your health isn't found in radical changes, but in the small actions you take consistently every day? Thoryn Stephens, founder of Brain.One, reveals the extraordinary power of micro habits in this eye-opening conversation about optimizing performance and preventing disease.Thoryn's journey from competitive skiing to marathon running and Ironman triathlons taught him something profound: structured frameworks built on small, trackable actions create compound effects over time. This realization, combined with a personal healing story that left medical professionals stunned, led him to create the world's largest database of health protocols comprised of micro habits.The conversation takes us deep into sleep optimization, where simple adjustments like avoiding food two hours before bed and reducing alcohol intake show immediate, measurable improvements on sleep trackers. But perhaps most compelling is Thoryn's discussion of brain health and dementia prevention—scientific evidence suggests that if 30-40% of people followed specific protocols, their susceptibility to cognitive decline would significantly decrease.What makes Brain.One revolutionary is how it meets people where they are. Whether you're a peak performer or just starting your health journey, the platform helps document your current routine, set intentions, and implement small, sustainable changes. As Thorne explains, "You don't need fancy software—you need a piece of paper and a list to start."This episode challenges our conventional approach to health transformation. Instead of focusing solely on lifespan, Thorne encourages us to prioritize "healthspan"—staying vibrant and healthy into our 70s, 80s, and beyond through the compound effect of daily micro habits.Ready to optimize your health through science-backed protocols? The journey begins with awareness of your current habits and the power of small, intentional changes.To Learn more about Thoryn Stephens: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thoryn  To Reach Jordan:Email: Jordan@Edwards.Consulting Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ejFXH1_BjdnxG4J8u93Zw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.edwards.7503 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordanfedwards/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanedwards5/ Hope you find value in this.

Send us a textThe concept of global citizenship has undergone a dramatic transformation in the post-COVID world. What was once considered an unusual lifestyle choice has now become a strategic necessity for many high-net-worth individuals and forward-thinking entrepreneurs seeking to protect their wealth and expand their freedoms.Jeremy Savory joins us to share his journey as "the millionaire migrant" – a British expatriate who left his homeland in 2000 and has since built a thriving business helping over 11,000 people obtain second passports and residency rights across the globe. His expertise spans real estate investments across 11 countries, citizenship-by-descent strategies, and golden visa programs that provide pathways to European citizenship.We explore the shifting patterns of global migration, where citizens from traditionally desirable countries like the United States and UK are now actively seeking alternatives to high-tax jurisdictions and political instability. Jeremy reveals how programs like Portugal's Golden Visa have seen Americans become the leading applicants in recent years – a remarkable change for a nationality that historically felt little need for alternatives.The financial advantages of geographic diversification are compelling. By strategically selecting tax-friendly jurisdictions for both residence and business operations while maintaining dollar-based income streams, entrepreneurs can dramatically reduce their bottom line while improving quality of life. A coffee that costs $6 in New York might be $2.50 in Colombia – a seemingly small difference that compounds dramatically when applied across all living expenses.Beyond the financial benefits, Jeremy shares powerful insights about the mindset of successful sovereign individuals – from treating yourself as the CEO of your own life to recognizing that discomfort is essential for growth. His personal evolution from salaried employee to commission-only salesperson to business owner in a tax-free jurisdiction demonstrates how strategic relocation can accelerate wealth creation.Ready to explore your options for global citizenship?

Send us a textDrew Berman's path to success wasn't paved with immediate victories, but rather illuminated by the hard-earned wisdom from his failures. As he reveals in this raw and powerful conversation, his early years in network marketing yielded zero income for five years—a struggle so profound it nearly cost him his marriage and required a family intervention.The breakthrough came when Drew discovered his unique superpower—merging three distinct worlds: network marketing, peak performance coaching, and the speaker-author arena. This combination created a synergy that propelled him to recruit 1,000 people in six years, eventually building a global team of 15,000. The secret? He stopped "selling products" and started "partnering with billionaires on international expansion." This simple reframing transformed not just his language but his entire business trajectory.Drew unpacks the psychology of rejection with refreshing clarity. "If you're a vegan and I try to sell you steak, your rejection isn't personal—it simply means you don't want steak." This perspective allows entrepreneurs to separate their identity from their offers, freeing them to hear "no" without emotional damage. As he puts it, "The hero's journey requires failure," citing figures from Einstein to Michael Jordan who succeeded not by avoiding failure but by persevering through it.Financial mastery forms the core of Drew's current mission. He distills financial freedom into a simple formula: spend less than you earn. His five financial freedom factors—earnings, savings, investments, passive income streams, and budget management—provide a framework anyone can follow. More importantly, he addresses the three universal financial fears we all share: paying too much in taxes, not having enough for retirement, and outliving our savings.Ready to transform your relationship with money and business?
