As business operators, we often get stuck in our own little lane of things that have worked or are working. And we simply don't carve out enough time to look at things that don't exist in our company, or industry, that could completely change the landscape of our future. Standing out from your competitors is a tough thing in most industries these days. But as Uber, Airbnb, WeWork, and GrubHub have all shown us, innovating in even the biggest industries in the world, is certainly achievable. I know we are all trying to become the next billion-dollar unicorn

Download our 50 Ways to Live a Fulfilling life here: https://bit.ly/nobull50tips Now I understand that a lot of people have anxiety about death and dying. But you have to realize, right now you are living. If you stress about “what happens when I die” all the time, then that takes up space where you would normally be thinking about “living”. Death can be a scary thing, but life can be a happy, energetic, joy-filled, fulfilling, out-of-this-world epic thing to focus on. In the show, the fellas talk about using Momento Mori as a way to motivate yourself to live life to the fullest. Carpe diem
Want to increase sales? The Wolf of Wall Street will tell you “The best way to sell something, is don't sell anything.” Well, that sales tip confuses, so we will reword that. “The harder you sell something, the less people wanna buy it.” People do not like being told what to buy when to buy it, or how to buy it. Instead, the best sales people in the world truly believe what they are selling. They become such good storytellers about the product or service, that it is completely apparent that they live and breathe it with the heart and soul. In today's show, the fellas talk about how to sell things effectively in the modern world we live in. Love Wine? Love GaryVee?
Trying to please everyone all the time sucks. Am I right, or am I right? We all want to fit in, but it sucks the life right out of us. And unfortunately being a people pleaser means that you don't have any time to please yourself (not that kind of pleasing, you should definitely make time for that
Which is more important? Finding your passion in life? Or finding your purpose in life? And what is the difference between passion and purpose? This is a question every fucking one of us wonders every minute of every day. We have things we love, like baseball cards and gardening. We also have things we are good at, like accounting and leading people (most of us are not good at baseball). In this show, the guys talk about how passion and purpose complement each other. They talk about how to have perspective on what each means to your everyday personal and professional life. At NoBull, we believe there is absolutely no goddamn reason you should not be happy as many minutes out of every day, out of every week, out of every month, out of every year, and out of every decade of your entire life. So watch this episode, and let's all find our passion, our purpose and get happy.
Managing your money can be one of the biggest challenges in business and in your personal life. We know it can be challenging to learn how to properly prioritize your financial goals.
Let's be honest: none of us enjoy getting criticized. It's part of human nature to enjoy being right and feel a sense of rejection and humiliation when we're wrong. But when we receive negative criticism, it's important to ask ourselves these questions… Is it necessary to have an emotional reaction to everything we listen to? Should we really care about every piece of feedback that every single person says to us? Does the person give us the feedback have good intentions? More than that, do they actually know what they're talking about? Considering all of that, what reactions should we try to cultivate and what reactions should we try to avoid when we're criticized? There're a few things you should think about before you start acting like a little s ** t. In this new episode of #ImALittleBuzzed, the founders talk about how to deal with criticism and, better than that, how to not give an f* about bad criticism.
Be honest with yourself: is it time to move on? In business, sometimes failure is part of the process. Having a business to fail isn't the same of you failing as a person or a professional. Guess what: winners can be quitters, too. So if you feel like it's time to quit but aren't sure if you're ready to move on, this is the video for you. In this episode of, I'm a Little Buzzed, the founders will discuss how failure is a personal definition and what to actually do when everything goes wrong. Whether your business was a failure to launch or you're simply wondering “should I quit my job to start something new?”, learn from the experiences of John, Al, and Rob to figure out what your next step should be.
To achieve the perfect life balance, it takes good time management, setting boundaries and having your priorities well set... And this makes it seem difficult to get there. That's why the founders John, Al and Rob have some tips to share. The #1 thing you need to pursue in the process? Happiness. Watch this episode and get a step closer to achieving work life balance.
Do you feel comfortable in a room full of people you don't know?
Going through a financial crisis is no piece of cake. The guys know that… And they can help you a little bit. In today's episode of I'm a Little Buzzed, they will talk about what to do when you're broke. So if you have $7.13 in your bank account… (Ok maybe not exactly $7.13, that's too specific) Here's what you should do when you have no money.

Hey ya, #BuzzedNation! Welcome to another episode of #Imalittlebuzzed. If you're a Shark Tank fan, you'll probably recognize today's guests, Marquez and Ondrea, the owners of Dough Bar Doughnuts! They started Dough Bar Doughnuts in early 2015, from a 600 square foot apartment in the heart of Silicon Valley, looking for healthier alternatives to their favorite sweet treats. Marquez and Ondrea then quickly established a brand on social media that celebrated the fusion between fun food and an active lifestyle. After launching in April 2015, Dough Bar Doughnuts became a viable business. In 2016, they auditioned for ABC's Shark Tank. While the two made it fairly far, they were encouraged to return when their business had another year of growth under its belt. In 2017, following their wedding and in the midst of pregnancy, the couple returned to the Shark Tank audition and made the cut! They stood before the Sharks and ended up wheeling a deal with Barbara Corcoran. After the mind-blowing experience on Shark Tank, Dough Bar Doughnuts co-founders decided to move their entire operation to Colorado in order to bring all production in house. This massive move evoked challenges unimaginable, which the company is still working diligently to resolve. After filing for bankruptcy and recovering ownership of The Dough Bar, what are the next steps for Ondrea and Marquez? You'll find out in this episode. Tune in!
