You’ve probably seen a lot of CBD products pop up over the last 12 months or so, and something we talk about in this conversation is how to know you’re not buying low-quality CBD products that actually have too low of an amount or too poor of quality to where you don’t get any of the benefits. We also talk about what exactly CBD is, the most bioavailable ways to use it for maximum benefits, and breaking through some of the stigma around hemp, cannabis, and mushrooms.

I hit a breaking point a couple of weeks ago of complete burnout. Have you ever hit that low spot where you just feel like you've pushed all you can push, but you don't know how to remedy it? It feels like your brain is working in overdrive, but you can't stop the engine. The show must go on. So, I booked a solo trip to the desert in Joshua Tree for two nights, and it was a surprising experience. This episode, we'll talk about how I prepared for the trip, what I brought with me, what I did while there, what I did not allow myself to do, and how you can plan one too.

In this episode of Marketing Hot Takes, we’ll talk about whether or not influencer marketing works anymore, what to do with your first $500 in advertising spend, and a common mistake most brands make when trying to grow to 7 figures. — Dustin is the CEO of Los Angeles based digital marketing agency, Jump Influence, and founder of Coda Life.

Richard Matthews is living the dream so many of us have dreamt. He and his family travel full time out of an RV, going where they please when the please, while Richard runs his business from wherever they find themselves.

Perseverance. Adaptation. Pain. Though we think we would enjoy a life of pure ease and simplicity, most of us would admit we like the feeling of overcoming new challenges. Whether in business, day-to-day difficulties, or emotional struggles—we know we come out the other side stronger than ever. Most of human growth comes from challenges we didn't even see coming. Noel Arevalo is owns an online fitness coaching business, and recently stepped into physical products as well.

In this episode, I chat with my good friend Phil Hoprasatsuk, founder of Modern Proper Lifestyle—a mentorship program for young men looking to grow in character, leadership, and purpose.

Last episode (part 1 of this series), we talked about the 8 Do's and Don't of Coming up with a Consumer Product Idea. In this episode, we're covering parts 2, 3, and 4 to bring this series home strong! We're talking about how to validate your product idea before spending a bunch of time, energy, and money, how to choose the right manufacturer (and some things to avoid), and finally how to pre-promote and pre-sell your product ahead of time to help with production cost.

Today’s topic is on the do’s and don'ts of coming up with a great a consumer product idea. The past few months, I’ve been working tirelessly on launching CODA Life, and it’s finally launching! The process has been challenging and fascinating, and while it’s fresh in my brain, I wanted to record a series of podcast episodes explaining the process of starting this business and making the product, and some of the mistakes I made, along with some savvy tips as well.

Have you ever wanted to start a digital marketing agency? It's an alluring goal that a lot of people strive for, and today's guest breaks down how he started and grew his agency organically, with next to no advertising, and leaning heavily on great results and company culture.

If you have a creative passion, if you’re a photographer or videographer, or if you're interested in building a career out of your creative pursuit, you’re going to enjoy this interview. Today’s guest is photographer and videographer Emma Vo. I met Emma through some mutual friends and mutual clients we worked with, and I swear over the last 12 months, every time I open Instagram I see her name tagged as the photographer for a fitness model or influencer, or I see someone praising her work. So I wanted to interview her to learn how she got started as a successful creative in LA, and how she’s effectively networked and expanded her client base so rapidly.   Some of the topics discussed • How Emma got started with photography and videography • Her journey of moving to Los Angeles and working up from the bottom • The process of getting clients and opportunities • Doing work you’re not crazy about in order to eventually be able to do work you are passionate about • Discovering what you love to do and what you don't • Word of mouth marketing, referrals, and doing a great job with client work   References & Mentions @3muh on Instagram Capturedby3muh.com

Humans complicate things. We just do. Whether we're trying to grow a business, improve our health, or be more productive at work, we default into trying to find complex details we think we must be missing, when in reality we usually are just neglecting the small things we know we need to get better at. Queue Brian DeCosta. Brian is a former corporate accountant turned online fitness coach, and he helps busy people get in great shape and great health. What’s unique about this interview is that not only is Brian in amazing shape (seriously go look him up on instagram, it’s crazy), but he’s also a successful entrepreneur, so we got to cover topics about health and fitness and also about growing an online business from scratch. His philosophy about both of those things is to keep it simple.   Topics Discussed: • Daily productivity - Getting ahead of the day by starting your day off the right way mentally and physically • Easy tips to keep high energy throughout the day • The 20% of things to do to get your health and fitness 80% of the way there • Are you focusing on the important things in your business, or just feeding your ego? • “Results show up over time.” • Offering services with integrity vs. selling to people you know you can’t really serve well • Using social media to get more clients for your business • Speaking to your target audience vs. trying to appeal to everyone   Mentions and Resources: Brian's Private FB group - The Online Fitness Coaching Incubator Brian's Instagram Brian's YouTube Channel

Doesn't it sound nice to work a maximum of 25 hours/week? Or, what about adding more time and fun to your schedule without sacrificing revenue? My friend Selina has it figured out :) What do you do when you want to start a service business, you know you have a marketable skill, but you have no idea how to start? Or, what do you do when you have a healthy 6-figure business, but you feel like everything is chaotic with little to no structure, and you have almost no time for yourself because you feel like if you stop at any moment, your business will collapse? If either of those are questions you find yourself wanting answers to, listen to this episode.

I just finished moving from the west side of LA to Hollywood, which for context, is only about a 20 minute drive away, but the culture is pretty different. One of the biggest changes for me, is the people I used to see on a weekly basis, I’m not going to be seeing some of them as often anymore. That got me thinking about how to make time for certain people, and even what new people I now have more quick access to that I didn’t before. I’m a big believer in being deliberate about the people you spend time with if you want to have better relationships and more success as an entrepreneur. And it’s one of the most simple concepts, though not always easy to control. So for this episode, I’m going to deliver a slightly modified version of a chapter from my book, It’s Time to Start. The chapter is called “Surround Yourself with the Right People” Topics Discussed The 4 types of people to surround yourself with as an entrepreneur Identifying entrepreneurs and wantrepreneurs Paying for a mentor Getting virtual mentors for free

Something I've had a growing awareness about lately is my, and everyone's, inability to control things in business and life, and the inevitability that things will go wrong more often than I'd like them to. That's not to say we can't influence our lives, but control is limited. I kept seeing this formula floating around Instagram a few months ago, E+R=O, and tracked it down like a wolf on the hunt to our guest on the podcast today, CEO of Focus3, Brian Kight. At first glance, it's just three letters, and while applying this formula to life is actually that simple, it's more powerful than it appears. In fact, it's one of the most powerful concepts I've ever heard of for handling situations better, and more importantly, making the best out of situations that are less than ideal. E+R=O stands for Event+Response=Outcome, and today's episode is a deep dive on how to apply it. Topics Discussed Applying E+R=O in every day life How to improve discipline The first thing to do if you struggle with responding well to situations Stepping outside of your emotions to make better decisions How to not take things personally that other people do   Episode Mentions & Resources Focus3 Podcast Daily Discipline Emails Follow Brian on Instagram and Twitter Focus3.com

His new book is called Millennials, No Excuses! It’s a practical guide to food and fitness no matter the location. Topics Discussed Balancing a full-time job, a side business, and your health Being present & focus fencing Time management Removing distractions effectively while working Prioritizing health over all else as a catalyst for overall life improvement The importance of investing in yourself, and the practical way of doing it Weighing opportunity cost How to begin thinking outside the box   Episode Mentions & Resources Millennials: No Excuses (Noah’s new book) – A guide to food and fitness for professional busy millennials Follow Noah on Instagram Check out Noah’s Youtube Channel Noah on LinkedIn Deep Work by Cal Newport Quitter by Jon Acuff

In this special edition of the podcast, I interviewed four entrepreneurs that are members of Daniel DiPiazza's Alpha Mentorship Program, but there's a twist... Rather than just having stand-alone conversations with them individually, I instead asked each of them the same set of questions which made for an interesting episode of unique opinions and different outlooks on topics like mentorship, peers, relationships, and more. This is a killer episode with knowledge bombs from some up-and-coming entrepreneurs that are making moves in the industry. Topics Discussed How each guest got started with their entrepreneurial journey The importance of mentorship and why it's helpful Finding like-minded peers to keep you moving forward Stories that shaped each guest's current state of being Parting thoughts and wisdom for new entrepreneurs   Episode Mentions & Resources Michael Leonard: Motivational Entrepreneur Follow Michael on Instagram InspireYourSuccess.com Morgan Simone: Dancer, Bodybuilding Bikini athlete, Health and wellness blogger Follow Morgan on Instagram MorganSimone.co (Plant-based meal plans, 100 Days of Movement) Watch Morgan on YouTube Nick Ercolano: Marketer and Fantasy Football YouTube Nick's YouTube channel (Fantasy Football / Entrepreneurial Journey) Dane Schwaebe: Social Media Marketer Follow Dane on Instagram @dshwaebe on PunchBold.com - Social Media Marketing Website

Productivity isn’t about what most people think it is. It’s not about working more or just working faster so you can cram more tasks into your day. We don’t become more productive by being busier simply for the sake of “doing more.” Productivity is about efficiency. Increasing productive output. Ironically, what’s natural for most of us to do when we’re trying to become more productive, is adding more processes, more checkboxes, more tasks with no gaps in our unrealistically optimized schedules. In reality, increasing productive output starts with decreasing non-productive output, becoming more focused, and eliminating distractions. That’s what we’re talking about in this episode: Becoming more productive by understanding common distractions so we can start the process of elimination, and being aware of our lazy triggers—the things in our lives that typically cause us to work slowly or not at all when we need to be. Topics Discussed   Eliminating distractions vs. overpowering them Optimizing schedule based on energy Emails, text, calls Prioritizing your work over other people’s requests Work environment How to stop checking your phone while you work

I’m recording this a couple of days before my 29th birthday, and as I’m entering the final year of my 20’s, I feel compelled to share one of the most important things I’ve learned and am admittedly still working on in my life and career, because I know others will be able to relate as well. My hope is that as you hear this message, no matter what age you are or what stage of life you’re in, you give it some deep thought, and take it to heart, because it can save you from a lot of uncertainty, pain, and frustration, but only if you actually believe it.

A lot of people would argue that becoming an entrepreneur is mostly about the actions you take to start and grow a business. While I do agree that that is certainly part of becoming an entrepreneur, I disagree with the notion that it is mostly about that. In my experience, people find entrepreneurial success ONLY after they become the types of people who have the mindsets of entrepreneurs—Mindset creates action. But how do we develop that type of mindset? That's what we're talking about in today's episode of the podcast, along with my current top 5 book recommendations to cultivate your entrepreneurial mindset, and personal stories about how the authors and their books helped me.

We all have seasons of life where we feel like things are stagnant, and we feel stuck. In this episode, we'll discuss 4 things you can do anytime you're feeling stuck, so you can break out of your funk and keep moving forward.

We all feel it sometimes, and it stops us from moving forward. Fear. Fear can be paralyzing, and it causes a lot of pain pondering what could be or what could have been. In this episode, I logically rant on what fear is, what's the root of it, and how to assess if entrepreneurship is actually that risky for you, or if you simply need to switch the way you think about risk and fear. Fear isn't something anyone can completely eliminate, but it can be ignored.

Procrastination is something most of us struggle with from time to time, and the reasons why might seem a little odd. Sure, non-engaging tasks are always a little more difficult to do than ones that light us up with passion, but there are other less obvious culprits like learning, lack of deadlines and clarity, perfectionism, and indecision. In this episode, we'll dissect these reasons with tactics to conquer procrastination for good.   In This Episode: How we procrastinate by learning Deadlines vs. no deadlines Setting our own deadlines and honoring them by not procrastinating How we procrastinate by over-preparing or preparing things that we don’t need yet When we’re bored or don’t have clarity Avoiding procrastination by having clarity on what we want to accomplish Perfectionism Indecision Honor your deadlines over other people’s deadlines   Resources and Mentions: Get your free copy of my book, It's Time to Start: Conquer the Common Fears of Starting a Business & Master the Mind Tools for Success

Time doesn’t really exist. It’s something man created so that we can structure, prioritize, and calculate things we do. Man has been using the concept of time to structure activities and create rituals forever, at minimum by observation of the sun, moon, and stars. It used to be something we used as a tool—something we ruled over. Fast forward to today, and now we are the tools…and our time no longer belongs to us, we are slaves to it. What changed? Time hasn’t changed, we’ve just found more things to deplete it with, and most of the things we spend time on add little to no value to our lives. We’re very indulgent and self destructive with time, and today's episode is going to help you manage it better to have a healthy balance of success-driven activities and still some time to rest.   In This Episode: Prioritize things that matter, eliminate what doesn't Increase your efficiency with a couple of easy tricks Improve your focus with a simple mind shift Create limits and boundaries Learn how to say no to things you shouldn't be spending time on, and requests from people that are detrimental to your mission

When you’re living what I call the unleashed life, that means you’re following your own compass, blazing your own trail, pursuing your purpose and calling. Be bold and brave enough to explore what that looks like for you. Do work you love. Make a difference in the world and in the lives of those around you. The unleashed life isn’t a destination as much as it is a lifestyle choice. It’s a never-ending journey and adventure. It’s a decision you can make to start living freely and on purpose right now. If the unleashed life sounds like something you’re already living or want to get started on the journey of, then you’re going to fit right in!
