LinkedIn has been the place where he started seeing success and shares with us how he started to where he is today and what he has planned for the future.Live streams are not just for gaming anymore, rather they are a way to get out to an audience and engage with them directly. You saw it likely before where people would stream on Twitch about gaming and now you can find people sharing just personal life or in this case professional life. As Lucas shares, there is a lot of potential to get out there and make connections.

Nothing is off topic in this episode as we talk about the thrills of socialism, the future of the podcast, and discuss more about Paul's One Tax Plan (www.onetaxplan.org) that he's mentioned in the past.As we discussed in a previous video about How Universal Basic Income Can Work (https://youtu.be/ot6EK8Rn9wY) we have expanded more on the idea for a one tax plan. Discussing what the changes are as to what it looks like to do something like this.Comments have pointed to Paul being a socialist which actually isn't the case, but he touches on that. The plan that he has designed is one that he thought of over time that could help a lot of people.We also touch on some of the big brands out there that are going through the motions of issues due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and even some brands that stocks are on the rebound such as Southwest Airlines.

As we all know Seth has been a photographer in the wedding industry and a pioneer for our podcast channel, but this time he is on a new business adventure. In this episode we talk about his new company called DGF which is a graphite film spray that has been used over the last 70 years.DGF Spray has a vast number of amazing properties that make it the leader in graphite lubrication. DGF Spray is part of Miracle Power Products.Seth doesn't mention it nearly as much as Paul does but he does have a PhD. in chemistry and this is right in his wheelhouse. You'll hear about where he got the start of the company and where he plans to be taking it in the future.

Chris Jesperson is a successful entrepreneur that has in some amazing businesses and opportunities doing something that he wasn't even 100% sure on. He is the owner of The Madison Venue (https://themadisonvenue.com/) located in Cleveland, OH and President of Storybox Cinema (https://www.storyboxcinema.com/). He is also part of Chapter One Photo and Video (https://chapteronephoto.com/). Running businesses like what Chris talks about take a lot of determination and a lot of risk but as you will notice, he is doing quite well.At the young age of 27, Chris is doing quite well in the businesses that he has gotten into. He's in the space of wedding photography, running Some of the experiences he has talked about is working with Cardi B for her daughters birthday and even taking the photos for Baker Mayfield's engagement photos at his venue.Chris explains that when he first started this journey with his businesses, he had no idea what he was doing. From what to wear at events to meeting up with people that he has only had conversations with over the phone or email 2 days before the event, he hasn't let anything stop him. As Seth states, he says Yes and gets the job done.Anyone can do anything which is a great takeaway from this video and hearing his story.

We had the chance to meet and sit down with Zion Clark, who told his incredible story of beating all odds of becoming a top wrestler, despite his rare condition where he was born without legs.You may know Zion from his Netflix Documentary titled "ZION Body of Strength" which is an award winning documentary highlighting his life and his struggles that he faced along the way. He his now well known by becoming a viral high school and college wrestler. Facing all the things that he does head on.Zion is a local to our area and when Seth found his Netflix documentary, there was no doubt that we were going to reach out to him to have him on the show. He covers with us what it was like to go through the foster care system, to meeting his adoptive mom Kimberlli, and what it was like when he first started wrestling.He has championed the phrase "No Excuses" and even has it tattooed on his body. He has big plans and is making great strides to share his story as a motivational speaker. He has even been featured on Ellen Degeneres once before and talks about that experience for him and his mom and the lovely gift that was given to her to help fulfill a dream of his for her.Zion's story shows that there are no excuses that should stop you from doing what you love and what you want to do. Put your mind to it and anything is a possibility.

We had a chance to sit down with 10 year old Geo (Seth's son) to talk to him about stocks that he is interested in and teaching him about investing in stocks.The reason we wanted to have Geo join us is because it's a great way to kick off some education about investing. To our surprise, he knows his stuff. This is a great place to get some education about terminology that is used when you are interested in trading.You'll hear Geo talk about stocks that he is interested in, from Tesla stock, CVS stock, and few others, the perception that Geo has of the markets is actually in line to what we believe in and have talked about in the past.Another takeaway from this is that if a 10 year can learn and do stocks, then really anyone can get involved in the market. Sometimes it just takes a little bit education and getting yourself to a point where you know the basics and learn along the way. Is Geo on the right track with everything, he definitely is.

In this episode, we talk about the stock market and economy not syncing up, how the stock market is up but the economy keeps going downward and where is the economy going from our perspective.Everyone is probably wondering, how is the economy doing? To be perfectly honest, we here at Learn From Us have done the deep dive into wanting to understand how the economy is doing through all this news happening these days. Something that we see quite often is the correlation between the stock market and the economy and where its at. In reality, the two aren't always the same.—We release new episodes every Monday and Thursday!SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChBVf9YnourrEDTsbbwJPRA?sub_confirmation=1LISTEN to the audio podcasts: https://www.spreaker.com/show/learn-from-us-investor-academy-podcastVideo editing by Rohan and Sharvari (The Tweaky Tales)—You've heard us talk a great deal over the last few weeks about stocks that have peaked our interest, should you invest right now, where are the stocks heading...but given what we are seeing in the markets, a lot of things don't add up to how the economy is performing. Unemployments rates are up, people are still under lock down in certain states and not able to do what they need to do and nothing screams out that the markets should be trending upward.You'll hear in this video, that 99% of people should be savers, saving every month into broad based funds. Investing on the other hand is a process where you need to understand what your buying and what price your buying it at. These are big differences in things that you do in the market. The last type of person in the market is the Speculator, someone that looks at something and blames it on another group or class for this instance.

We check in with Jameson Reeves from Full Grip Games. Jameson is a local game store owner that we previously had one earlier this year and amidst all the things that are happening with the economy, how has the gaming industry been affected?Jameson's business focuses a lot on the trading card game industry along with the board game industry. He talks about how his business has been affected during all the things that are happening with the economy and the steps he has taken to keep his employees employed and his business moving forward during this difficult time.From Pokemon trading cards to Magic The Gathering trading cards, there are still those out there that are looking for the next best thing in this industry. That said, Jameson has been fulfilling orders directly online through his store. His board game business is another place that it has shined over the last few months as families are looking for something to do together and with a wide assortment of board games available on the website, there is something for just about anyone out there.

Today we show what it takes to be a good investor, what's happening in the economy and what to do to plow through and come out ahead of it all, along with a discussion about who the true G.O.A.T. is, either Michael Jordan or Lebron James.There has been so much talk these days about the economy and the state that its in. We wish that there was a book that came with all this that is happening these days to layout the foundation as to how we should move forward. Are we going to get sick, is there a chance I could get sick if I go out...it's hard to say. Same rules go with investing right now.The market is volatile. Take a look at oil prices this past week. It went so low it was in the negatives. Does that mean its not something good to invest in right now. It's hard to say. You'll hear us talk about how commodities are not a strength we have but we have invested in them. However, we aren't here to tell you what you should buy in to or what you should do with YOUR money. We are here to really here to show you what we have done and what steps we have taken to be a good investor.

ICYMI we had an amazing first live stream event with some great viewers and excellent comments, big shout out to all those that joined while we were live. Some topics that we covered were: should you be investing back into your business, the stock market and where it's headed, and also what's going to be happening with the US election and what's to come after this stimulus comes to everyone.

What is universal basic income? Does universal basic income work? These are common questions that we have heard on this subject and want to have a to take a moment to have universal basic income explained to how we look at it.Universal Basic Income (UBI) is, by definition, a government guarantee that each citizen receives a minimum income. It is also called a citizen’s income, guaranteed minimum income, or basic income.Let us know your thoughts down below in the comments section on if Universal Basic Income is a good fit for the economy or something that people would consider.

We took a moment to discuss at how the recession affects business right now and how Grant Cardone had let go of 80 of his staff. Can recession be a good thing?The news these days feels more like the boogie man than anything else. Cases are on the rise of the recent pandemic, stock market is unpredictable, and millions of people are facing unemployment struggles as records indicate soaring numbers of people filing. As we prepare for the looming recession to come to light (some say it's already happening) we prepare together for what's to come and share our insight.

We had the chance to sit down with Jacob Salem again to discuss a little more about his business and what's changed since the last we sat down with him. Additionally, he talks about some things that he is curious about with investing that Paul can assist with.Jacob is an advertising master when it comes to Facebook advertising and email marketing with Infusionsoft Keap platform. The knowledge that we have gained over the year and half of knowing him has helped grow our brands and he has a lot to show anyone that is looking to get more knowledge in this space.

About this episode: We take a look into the current stock market conditions along with how COVID-19 is having an impact on today's economy.When we filmed this episode on Monday March 23rd, 2020, we had no idea that economy would have been impacted so strongly by the coronavirus (COVID-19) the way that it has. No one likely saw this coming. With reports this morning that the amount of people filing for unemployment topping 3.3MM, it's hard to believe that it would have shifted this way.

We wanted to show our viewers how to value a stock with our favorite company to evaluate...Tesla. At the timing of this video, the stock value for Tesla was 609, so we take a look at what to consider when doing your own stock valuation before buying.Stocks in the stock market right now are going through the motions as the bear market is in full swing. We wanted to take a moment to look at Tesla and a few of its competitors to show how to look at a company.Most people, as Seth demonstrates in the video, look at the value that the stock is at and consider the company to be doing well based on those numbers that are listed there. As Paul works through the numbers and shows you what to consider before buying, you'll notice that the numbers just aren't a good fit as an investment with where they are at. This is how you value a company.

Here is how we cultivated a recession proof business plan. From hoarding cash all these years and avoiding the market to working out the predictions that we thought the market would end up at.First and foremost that we might sound braggy but that's not what we are wanting to do. Instead we are wanting to educate what we had done throughout the last few years that have proven to be very successful for our businesses that we have. Our businesses are still going to take a hit during these times, but we prepped ahead of time especially in real estate.We always say, that it's good to invest right and this is what we mean. You'll hear us talk about the properties that we have here in Ohio. We have everyday people right now renting from us that could end up losing their income and eventually losing their means for living where they are presently. As stated in the video, we could lose about 50% of the people where they are and still be ok. It's because we invested smart.As we look to the future, we start thinking of the impact that is going to be happening for real estate. The FED just dropped rates a half a point, and they're expected to lower rates even further, which happens to make Real Estate a lot less expensive to own.Black Swan Events don't happen often but our parent company is going to thrive and prosper during a time like this and took a moment to reiterate to people within the company that working with us is going to be ok during a time like this when there is a big question mark happening with the way the economy is going.More is going to come of this as each day the markets are either up or down, but that is the nature of a bear market. Stay tuned to us as we work to bring valuable honest content as we can.

When we sat down with Nick Gargano, he decided it was time to ask an entrepreneur about goals and habits that Paul has. From the amount of books that he reads, daily habits that he has (atomic habits), and the thing that defines him as a person.Paul explains his approach to these questions. Some of the answers are likely those that you'd never think but thats what makes this series interesting. We are always learning and based on the things that we experience of that we come across in the day to day life, that is what makes the biggest impressions.All too often we want to get information from successful people, and we have found that this is one of the best ways to get that delivered to people. Having those motivation tips and what drives someone that has achieved success is something that we should all share with everyone. Business can be tricky, especially with how the market is doing during these difficult times with everything that is happening, but this is not the time to give up on what you want to be doing.

Here is some information to all investors regarding the state of the market and the issues within the economy from the latest press releases of whats been going on around the world.If you have been following the news (and most of you likely have been over the last few weeks), there is a certain fear between the correlation of the pandemic of Coronavirus and the market that people are speculating on.There is a saying from Warren Buffet that we've read about before saying: "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful." He spoke these words back in 1986 during a shareholder meeting. This happened to have been said a year before the now coined "Black Monday" stock market crash of 1987, where the markets plummeted over 22% in just one day.We've now had many regulations in place to reduce the risk of another one of those days happening again in the market. But this past Monday, March 9th, 2020, the day that we were filming this, it was calculated that the markets dropped 18% in just three weeks. We had even seen that today these regulations were put in place when the market hit -7%. Many people these days are blaming the state of the economy on Coronavirus, but thats just not the case. We look at Tesla especially, because there was a 30% dip from its highest point back in February to today and that isn't just from Coronavirus. These market fluctuations are stemming from overvaluations on stocks and it just has to happen. Now did the Coronavirus happen to kick start everything, possibly, but it's not the whole issue.

We sat down with entrepreneur Nick Gargano whom share what its like being a restauranteur, working in medical equipment sales and a new tech adventure.Nick shares from his college years to where he is today and leaves nothing off the table. As you find out in the interview, he talks about what it took to make it in sales within the medical industry, what it takes to open up a restaurant, and what new technology is on the horizon for major companies.Some of this information that is shared in this video goes even over our heads but Nick breaks it all down for us. As he discusses about his new focus, Tones, there is a lot to be said about how everything interacts with you on a daily basis. As Don even mentioned in the video, there is something already like this out there with Waze GPS and how it interacts with you when you are stopped at a certain location in a city or town to let you know whats nearby.

Today we talk about Atomic Habits by James Clear, a new book that caught our attention. Atomic Habits reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.At the time of filming this episode, Paul was only half way through the book but his take aways from what he has read provides a clear idea on how to build habits, especially the good ones, and also some of the tricks that he has learned along the way.Habits are something that we all have but it's developing those good habits that effect productivity are essential to everyone. We even discuss it here with Seth as to how he can improve some of his daily processes that he has and where he should take a moment to make some changes to help him along the way.

Today we talk about why advertising is important to your business. We go over online advertising as a whole which has been one of our biggest advantages these days. From Google, Facebook, and Twitter ads to going through Apartments.com, marketing is one of the most important pieces to your business.Learn From Us is all about teaching you things that we have learned over the years of trial and error and marketing has a lot of error but a lot of success. It's about finding the right ways to bring people to your business.Whether it's Facebook ads or Google Adwords or even going through print marketing, its all about what works out well for your business. You just need to find the right medium that fits your needs, but don't give up when one medium doesn't work out for you.

We had the opportunity to sit down with the wonderful Jameson Reeves whom is a local trading card and game store owner. We learn that there is a lot more to Magic the Gathering and Pokemon than just being cards anymore.Jameson is the proud owner of Full Grip Games located here in Akron, OH and has had wonderful success with the trading card game industry. He talks about where he started by working in Chicago with a business partner, to when he moved back home and started the business he loves today.Learning what all goes into this business is also something that we enjoyed learning and his numbers and expertise were wonderful to hear and the success that he has gained as well. He also talks about working with a professional Pokemon player, Andrew Mahone, and marketing his business through his YouTube channel and Twitch.Gaming is on a big swing and gaining momentum ever more as Pokemon is on the rise stronger than ever following the successes of Magic the Gathering. Trading cards are more involved than ever as new decks and sets make headway for previous cards that may have existed years ago gaining popularity due to synergy.Want to learn more about Jameson and his store Full Grip Games:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fullgripgames/Website: https://www.fullgripgames.com/Check out Tricky Gyms (Andrew Mahone) YouTube channel and Twitch:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC35KRaWGA7hQ5De40GG_7FwTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/trickygym

Today we get some insight from an all natural skincare and haircare entrepreneur. Angie is a local hair salon owner that is taking her passion for skin care, hair care, and the environment to the next level by creating her own brand called Nisla Life (www.nislalife.com).Angie shares with us her goals in the future for the business and also where she wants to market it and some of the hurdles she is having to get through as the brand starts to take shape.A little more about Nisla Life:At NISLA, we believe that thoughtfully created plant based self-care products can improve our lives and the world around us.

Today we take a moment to talk about a failed #business that we had previously worked on but have since revived it and has started to make a comeback. Dynasty Owner is a fantasy football #software that we are starting to release this 2020 season that takes fantasy sports to the next level.With real player contracts to work with instead of the usual ones that you get when playing fantasy sports, this changes the complete dynamic of #fantasyfootball. We have recently just finished the BETA season of 2019 with huge success and looking forward to some of the new changes and advancements that we are starting to have with this coming year.We also talk about does spending money help the economy? Short answer is yes. Find out how all that comes together in this episode as Paul and Seth discuss different points of view. Money is always a hot button topic, from the liberal left to the conservative right there is always someone talking about it. Elizabeth Warren, Donald Trump, Andrew Yang; and pretty much anyone in Washington loves to talk about it. We take a look at this a few different ways but the sum of it comes down to not wanting people to think that "luck" had anything to do with the successes that we have had. Taking risks and failing are all things that we have experienced first hand and that is what makes this channel something different.The main point of this channel is getting to know a little bit of the trials and tribulations that business owners like ourselves go through. Not everything is a major success. We've talked about it in the previous episode. Privilege has nothing to do with either, regardless of what people think. Learn from us in the long term and get the chance to get some experience before you jump into a business adventure.

Does college change you?We start by looking at what it's like when we have high schoolers working for us versus when they come home from college and there is a big difference in mentality.Inevitably, we are all effected by change in some way but one thing that we have noticed is that for high schoolers, at least for those that have worked for us in the past, there is a big difference in work ethic, drive, and even passion compared to when someone interns us when they are in college.You mindset is always changing and something we should all be open to is not focusing on the degrees that people have. There is more out there in people than just that, but college, as Paul highlights, is a necessary evil that everyone should go through.

Is #Tesla a bubble? Is the #TSLA overhauled? How long will it last? OK well the last one we don't know all that well but the other two things above we do know.Its all going to change we just don't know when and that is the problem with going in with a company like Tesla in a bull market the way that it is. As Tesla stocks have shown in the last few days, there are too many things to account for with a stock like this and that is what we are focused around today.Value investing over shorting a company like Tesla because its buzz worthy or something that everyone is jumping on board is what will get people in trouble. It always ends poorly when you see companies like this that are overvalued.

Filmed when Tesla was on the rise, we examine if it's a wise stock option to pursue as we sit down with Mo whom looks at these trends on the daily.Tesla at the time of releasing this video took a sharp dive after being at an all time high yesterday 02/04/2020, at 961.86 to be as of right now at 724.41. This just shows the unpredictable behavior that this stock has. With it beating out GM and Ford in the stock market, a lot of people are looking at this as an option, but is it a wise option?

This weeks deal that was presented by Andrew to Paul goes from and OK real estate deal to a terrible real estate deal.Usually during the Deal of the Week segments we get lucky enough to have a property or something featured that might be worth while, but when Paul finally starts to look at the numbers of everything, that is when things go from 1 to 100.Andrew helps guide the conversation on what the issue is and after much talk breaks it down for Seth whom thinks its an overall good deal. Nevertheless, the deal is not going to work out for them so we move on from here.This is a perfect example of something to consider when looking at everything. Had we been anyone else looking at this deal, we would have fell into the trap just like Seth did when looking at everything. It all comes down to the numbers folks, and that is what we are here to help you with.

Today's episode takes us out of the studio and down to Mexico to one of the homes that Paul owns. He talks about what it's like to invest in properties down in Manzanillo.Seth also talks about his wedding photography business and where he plans to be taking it in 2020.

When buying a business, there is a lot to look at, but sometimes the opportunity is too good to pass up.Seth is a educated scientist and talks about his new business that he is adventuring into as he made a brave decision to jump right into a new thing. At first he is hesitant to discuss this with Paul but nevertheless he gets it together and talks about what the product is and what its all meant for.This show is very candid when it comes to talking about some successes that we have had in business and also some shortcomings or down right failures. We want to share with you our mistakes so hopefully you can Learn From Us and not repeat those mistakes.

Changing goals can help you in many different ways when it comes to everyday life, but if you're running a business, it can help in that as well.In today's episode, we touch on a new approach that Paul has done in his own life which is doing some binging and purging. He has changed his views on goals which when it comes to life, its very important, but its also very important to your business. Whether you're starting out in a new business or been doing one for quite some time, the change is very important.Having too much of anything can be a bad thing, so we even reference the Netflix Original Series Tidying Up With Marie Kondo. She goes into homes and helps people purge their items that they have had over the years. This is something that in business is also important.Paul talks about the connection that Seth lays out for him based on the show and how he applies this to his businesses and the goals that he sets for them and his life.

Building business, investing, and going broke from stocks are just some topics that our guest Khash Saghafi covers in this episode as he discusses his life as a loan officer.A little bit about Khash:Khash Saghafi has been an industry professional for over 16 years and has always specialized in residential mortgage loans. He is a nationally renowned speaker in the mortgage industry and has been the keynote speaker at many universities and real estate and legal associations for his expertise in his field. Khash believes that educating his clients and those who work with him is the most important aspect of every single transaction he is involved in. “I believe in educating my client on what programs are available to them, what their options are and what best suits their individual and family’s needs.”Khash has built the company with a special focus on service, being accessible and getting the difficult transactions done. “I take a lot of pride in the fact that I am always accessible to my clients and that we specialize in the transactions that other banks and lenders do not want to do, do not know how to do or do not care to put the time or effort into doing”. In his spare time, Khash supports his alma mater at Oklahoma State University where he wrestled for five years and he also helps coach wrestling at Brecksville High School, a public school on the south side of Cleveland. “My greatest satisfaction comes in seeing my kids whom I have coached since they were in elementary school, graduate from college and become productive young leaders in society today. The sport of wrestling taught me discipline, commitment and helped mold my work ethic. I carried those same values over into what I do today and I believe that it has worked extremely well.”Saghafi goes on to say, “Our company, I believe, is the best out there. I do not believe that there is a company more focused on service, knowledge and commitment to its customers. It is just that simple. I believe that we are the best.”

Getting a little insight into a deal that Paul needed to bail on in the Dominican, Hillary Clinton on Howard Stern and how global warming affects business.After a deal goes South for Paul in the Dominican, he talks about how he felt as things were happening before even going there. Understanding the outlines of a deal for all parties is always something to consider, but sometimes things change as the deal is about to close. When new things come to light, its sometimes just best to bail on the deal and seek something else...no matter how hard it is.Talk about Hillary Clinton being on Howard Stern back in December and give a little political opinion on certain things that have transpired since her husband Bill was in office back in the 90s. We all have bias and this conversation even brings up one of the biggest that plagues the science community...global warming.

Examining how your ego can affect your business and success is something that is hard to learn over time. It can impact your sales and your leadership for your business or even your personal life.Today's episode concludes the two part episode where we sat down with entrepreneur James Rores from the Floriss Group. James goes over some good insight that he has gained from his own experiences on how ego has affected his business over the years and even impacted his success. He also shares a personal story that hits home for everyone from 9/11.—A little bit about who James is:As a veteran builder of sales forces and growth cultures, James founded Floriss Group in 2006 to fulfill his passion for helping leaders and teams thrive in the face of uncertain competitive and economic threats.Eventually, his clients’ successes fostered the creation of the Collecting WINS™ and Growth Multiplier™ platforms — both of which were authored by James based upon his commitment to practicing and teaching the timeless growth principles of servant leadership.Over the years, James has worked with more than 6,500 mid-market companies, family businesses, startups and global enterprises — including many INC 500, Deloitte Fast 50, Deloitte Fast 500, Business First Fast 50 and Innovation Award winners.

From being raised in a home of entrepreneurs and getting his MBA, what sales did for him over the years to get him where he is today with consulting, metadata, and also goes over what the definition of a winning habit is composed of...mindset, skillset, toolset.As a veteran builder of sales forces and growth cultures, James founded Floriss Group in 2006 to fulfill his passion for helping leaders and teams thrive in the face of uncertain competitive and economic threats.Eventually, his clients’ successes fostered the creation of the Collecting WINS™ and Growth Multiplier™ platforms — both of which were authored by James based upon his commitment to practicing and teaching the timeless growth principles of servant leadership.Over the years, James has worked with more than 6,500 mid-market companies, family businesses, startups and global enterprises — including many INC 500, Deloitte Fast 50, Deloitte Fast 500, Business First Fast 50 and Innovation Award winners.
