The Mike Dillard Podcast

Well fam, I have two pretty big announcements I wanted to share with you today... The first is that Michelle and I have spent the past week recovering from Covid, but as the over-achiever I am, just getting Covid wasn’t enough. I had to go all-in, so I went ahead and got the regular flu at the same time.  I came down with a really severe fever for two days that went as high as 103.8 which was the regular flu, and then Covid kicked in which was marked by a constant low grade fever, and difficulty breathing.  Michelle lost her sense of taste and smell, but I retained mine.  Thankfully we have the support of some incredible doctors who took amazing care of us.  We took all of the supplements you can imagine, and they also put us on prescriptions for Ivermectin and Hydroxy Chlorochine.  The worst part was a three day period where it was getting increasingly difficult to breath. If you think you have Covid, you want to jump on Amazon or have someone run down to the local drug store to get you a blood oxygen meter and a nebulizer.  If your 02 level gets down to 93 or less, it’s time to head to the hospital which is what we did next. My primary concern was that I was coming down with pneumonia, so we had a CT scan.  Thankfully it was just Covid, so we started nebulizing glutathione, ionic silver, and a steroid to help open the lungs which is what did the trick.  Overall, we spent about 9 days laying in bed, but thankfully we’re about 95% recovered at this point. Michelle’s smell and taste came back, and I’m breathing normally once again.  So what is the big takeaway from this experience? If you take care of your body, it will take care of you.  If your body had a voice, and if you could have a conversation with it, what would it say to you? Would it say thank you, or would it beg you to stop filling it with poisons like alcohol, sugar, or processed foods? Grab a piece of paper, and write down this question… What does my body desperately want me to know?  And simply write out everything that comes up.  What you learn here has the power to completely change your life if you’re willing to listen.  Now that brings us to my second piece of news… After 7 years, and over 350 episodes I am going to take a break from this podcast as of today.  The show will be back, but I don't know when.  All I know is that over the past year, my passion for this show had turned into an obligation. I was producing it every week because I felt like I had to.  If you’ve been a listener for a while, you know that I’ve been going through a massive transition in my life over the past few years, and who I am today, is completely different than who I was when I started this show under the Self Made Man title in 2014.  Traditionally, this has been a show about entrepreneurship, marketing, and business, and after the past few years I’ve had, I can tell you that the absolute last thing I give a crap about right now is marketing and business.  The world is changing before our very eyes in ways that will forever change the course of humanity, and turning a blind eye to these topics in order to talk about business, online marketing, or funnels because that’s what this show has always been about, literally makes me want to puke, and I just can’t do it any more.  So I’m going to take some time off to think about what I want to stand for, how I want to lead, and what the purpose of this show will become moving forward.  I can tell you one thing for sure…When it does come back, it will be bigger and better than ever. We’re in the process of looking for a video studio here in Austin, and my goal is to have the deepest, most meaningful conversations possible, with the world’s most inspiring people.  So thank you for listening, and for your support. It’s been an incredible 7 years. If you’ve enjoyed the show and the amazing guests who’ve shared their time here, it would mean the world to me if you’d be willing to leave a comment in the review section to let me know that it mattered to you, and that it made a difference in your life. 

If you live in the United Kingdom, or if you’re a car fan, you’ve heard of Yianni from Yiannimize.  Yianni has an amazing rags to riches entrepreneur story that I find incredibly inspiring… In essence, he took his passion for cars and has built it into one of the most successful car modification businesses in the world, and a personal brand that’s grown by leaps and bounds thanks to a personality that’s as big as his heart.  Yianni’s story is a perfect example of the fact that you don’t need to be the person to get the job done.  He had no idea how to wrap or modify cars, but that didn’t stop him. He simply focused on hiring the right people, and today Yiannimize is the go-to business for the top celebrities and athletes across Europe when they want to customize their million dollar supercars.   Today he has over 1.2 million followers on Instagram, 1.8 million subscribers on YouTube, and you’re about to find out how he’s managed to build such an incredible brand.  Before we dive in, today’s episode is brought to you by DropFunnels.com If you sell a product or service online, and especially if you use paid ads, I’d highly recommend building your funnel on DropFunnels just like I do.  Why? Because it’s built on WordPress which means faster loading pages, and higher conversion rates.  And the best part, is that it’s half the cost of ClickFunnels..  If you watched the launch of Richer Every Day last week, that entire funnel was built on DropFunnels. If you’d like to learn more, just head to DropFunnels.com for a free 14 day trial.  Resources: Yiannimize.com Follow Yiannimize on YouTube | Instagram Follow Yianni on Instagram Ray's of Sunshine Children's Charity Music: Song: Abandoned - Out of the Grave (Feat.

In a time where attention is the most valuable resource in the world of business, learning how to capture and hold someone’s attention becomes a priceless skill.  Thankfully, we know without a shadow of a doubt after 10,000 years of history, that telling captivating, interesting, or entertaining stories is the key to winning over the human mind and heart.  Yesterday, I sent out an email to my readers about my new course, Richer Every Day.  Richer Every Day is a system, and a training program that teaches people how to turn the money you make today, into passive investment income that pays you forever.  If you want to learn how to make $100,000 per month in passive income, Richer Every Day will show you exactly how we’re doing that.  Now most emails you get about a product or service just jump straight into their pitch, and sure, there’s a time and a place for that, especially when you’re nearing a deadline, but there’s a much more effective way to sell, and that’s by using a story.  So I started yesterday’s email with a story about the life of a man named Ronald, and that email ended up producing a record number of new sales.  In fact, I’ll just go ahead and read that email for you here now, so you can keep it as an example…  ============= “Every morning, Ronald Read would stop by the local hospital in his small town to have breakfast in the cafeteria...  He sat down in the same stool at the counter, said hello to the staff, and politely ordered the usual... A cup of coffee, and an English muffin with peanut butter.  He was a soft-spoken, simple man...  He grew up in poverty. He graduated from high school and then served in the military during WWIIl, fighting in Africa, Italy, and the Pacific.   Upon his return, he took a job at a gas station where he worked for 25 years, and then eventually became a janitor at the local JC Penney, where he worked part time for the next 17 years.  Now if you were to wonder about Ron's level of financial success in life, you'd probably conclude that he simply made enough to make ends meet.  After all, how could someone making a modest wage as a janitor amass any kind of meaningful wealth?  Well the truth might surprise you... When Ronald died in 2014 at the age of 93, his family was shocked to discover that he had amassed a fortune of more than $8 million.  Think about that for a minute...  95% of the online "experts" who are making millions in sales per year as entrepreneurs, don't have $8 million dollars of free and clear cash in their bank account, and they never will.  Not because they can't... But because they won't.  Why? Three reasons... The first is that they're completely unaware of the invisible neural-chemical associations which have hi-jacked their brains, and linked pleasure, satisfaction, and status, with spending money, or taking risks.  Second, is because they're running subconscious programs that will prevent them from accumulating and saving the money they do make over the long term.  One of the most common hidden programs entrepreneurs have is, "I'm not good enough" and in order to prove to the world they are good enough, they'll go out and buy the usual luxury status symbols like that shiny new Rolex or Lambo.  Again, and again, and again, preventing them from ever accumulating anywhere near the amount of wealth they would otherwise...  Which leads into the third problem... They have spent so much time focused on how to make money, they've never taken the time to make a plan for the money they do make.  And when you don't have a plan for your money, it will leave you for someone else who does.  Ronald Read had a plan. He followed it diligently, and he amassed an $8 million fortune while making less than $12 an hour.  You don't need to make more money to start building life-long wealth.  Ronald is proof of that.   What you do need, is to remove the invisible behaviors and programs that are causing your wealth bucket to continuously leak.  Once you do that, THEN, and only then, are you ready to start investing.  We use the Richer Every Day System which literally makes you a little richer every single day, and it's designed to produce passive investment income that will replace your current income.  Our goal is to hit $100,000/Mo in passive income within the next 60 months.  We're already 25% of the way there in less than a year, even though I didn't have a business for the past 2.5 years.  If you want me to show you how to do the same, you're ready for your financial breakthrough.  If you don't... If you're coming up with reasons or excuses right now that would push you away from that kind of information or result, guess what... That's a sneak peek into the subconscious program that's holding you back.  And until you discover and re-wire it, you will never achieve what you want to achieve, because your mind simply won't let you.  Want to learn how to do that? Want to see our system and how it works? Just click here to watch this video now, and I'll walk you through the entire process...“ ===========   So that’s it… That was the entire email, and it produced over 6 figures in sales in a day.  So how do you learn how to tell simple, but effective stories like this either in your emails, your sales letters, or even your YouTube videos? Well today you’re going to learn how to do that from one of the best speakers in the world, David Nihill.  David is the best-selling author of Do You Talk Funny, which is known as one of the best books on public speaking and storytelling ever written. This interview is incredible. It had me taking notes, and dying to apply what David shared in every piece of content I produce moving forward.  If you want to win the war for attention, you simply need to learn how to tell a great story, and if you want to learn how to tell a great story, please help me welcome, David Nihil. And by the way, your chance to join Richer Every Day as a Founding Member which comes with a 66% discount, ends tomorrow on March 4th.  If you’d like to learn how to turn today’s income, into forever income, head to RicherEveryDay.com ASAP before registration closes.  Resources: DavidNihill.com Hacking Public Speaking Course Do You Talk Funny?: 7 Comedy Habits to Become a Better (and Funnier) Public Speaker Paperback Music: Song: Facading - You And Me [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/FYouAndMe Watch: http://youtu.be/B3-g4BRhsHE

I know there are a lot of you out there who are professionals in some form or another… You’re a doctor, a dentist, a lawyer, an engineer, and maybe an accountant, and if you’re listening to this podcast, there’s a very good chance that you’ve thought about starting an online business before… But there’s been confusion, or doubt that’s held you back. . After all, how could a dentist build an online business? Well today you’re going to meet my friend Dr. Galen Detrik who’s done exactly that. He and his wife Davina realized early on during their dental career, that there had to be a better way. They were overworked, stressed-out, and drowning in medical school debt just a handful of years into their career.  So they decided to make a change, and they built an online course.  Today, they make millions of dollars per year… Not only do they make millions from course sales, but the fact that they made a course, also positioned them as the recognized authority figures in their dental niche, which allowed them to substantially increase their prices, and dramatically reduce the number of patients they see.  So yes, it is absolutely possible to turn any business into an online business, and today you’re going to hear exactly how Galen and Davina did it.  Resources: ThriveBioaesthetics.com TheThriveDentist.com Music: Song: hayve - Red Light [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://NCS.io/RedLight Watch: http://youtu.be/hyNRpffe0GU

The single best way to build a million-dollar business is to solve a problem you have in your life at the moment. For John Fio, one of those problems was stress and anxiety.  One day he was talking to a doctor who casually mentioned that sleeping under a blanket that’s equal to 10% of your body weight, triggers a calming response in your body that can dramatically reduce anxiety.  A light-bulb went off, and John went to work…A few months later, he launched the idea for the weighted blanket on Kickstarter.  No one knew what a weighted blanket was, but people just seem to intuitively understand how it could help them, and how it works.  Within 24 hours, they’d sold over $1 million in pre-orders. Within their first 30 days, they’d made over $5 million in sales, and the Gravity Blanket was born.  Today, John’s going to fill you in on the entire story, and we’re going to discuss several important pieces of the puzzle that will be incredibly useful for everyone…For example, should you invest time and money into patents? And how do you fend off lower-priced competition, which they were swamped by within months?  Next, John and I dive into the dark side of entrepreneurship, including the hustle and grind lifestyle, and the expectations we can put on ourselves to accomplish big things, and make a difference in the world.  This is an absolutely fascinating interview with some lessons that will serve you for the rest of your career.  Now before we dive in, I have some pretty big news for you…  I’m incredibly excited to share that I’m launching my new business on March 1st.  After nearly 3 years of being sidelined by my health crisis, I’ve spent the past year personally focused on a single topic, which is creating passive income. Dealing with a brain injury and unable to work for more than two years was insanely hard. Dealing with all of that without passive income made it 10 times harder, and it was an eye-opening experience.  The company is called Richer Every Day, and our mission is simple…  It’s to show business owners how to get a little richer every single day, by turning their active income, into passive investment income.  If you’re a business owner, it’s safe to say that 99% of your time is focused on revenue and growth.  But unfortunately no one in this industry talks about what to do with that money once you make it, and that’s a massive problem.  So Michelle and I made it our mission to hit $100,000 per month in passive investment income within the next 5 years.  If you’d like to see how we’re doing that, I’ll show you on March 1st. But our strategy is just one piece of the puzzle.  What’s even more important and valuable than a strategy, is invisible work taking place in the mind behind it.  Specifically, your mind, and how all of your financial decisions in life are driven by your neuro-chemistry and subconscious programming.  These two factors are ultimately what determine a person’s financial success in life, and unfortunately, 99% of people in the world are completely unaware of them, and how to rewire these dominant mental components in a way that will allow you to create wealth and financial security in a truly effortless manner.  If you’ve ever read my book Magnetic Sponsoring, you know that it introduced a completely new paradigm shift that changed an entire industry. Richer Every Day is going to do the same when it comes to money and investing.  I can’t wait to show you what I’ve learned and what we’ve been able to accomplish using this system. If you’d like to be one of the first people in the world to see it in action, just head to RicherEveryDay.com now.  Resources: FioCreations.com Follow John on Instagram GravityBlankets.com MoonPals.com Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike Music: Song: Jnathyn - Dioma [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://NCS.io/Dioma Watch: http://youtu.be/r2Ig85ycGKQ

So there’s a very good chance that you’ve heard my mold story over the past few years, and how it completely turned my life upside down for more than two years.  But what you probably don’t know, is just how big of a problem toxic mold is becoming… It’s estimated that 50% of all homes are currently infected with mold and that 25% of the global food supply contains the poisonous mycotoxins molds produce.  Some of the foods that contain the highest levels of toxic mold are nuts and coffee beans.  If you drink coffee, or eat any kind of protein bars or foods that contain nuts, you’re ingesting mycotoxins.  Most people’s bodies can clear these toxins out successfully as long as their exposure level doesn’t exceed their body’s capacity which is what happened in my case.  If your exposure levels get too high, it will overcome your body’s detox system and that’s when things will quickly take a turn for the worse.  To make matter worse, 1 in 4 American’s are missing the gene that allows their body to eliminate mycotoxins naturally which can lead to all kinds of symptoms including chronic inflammation, arthritis, asthma, skin rashes, chronic coughing, adrenal fatigue, brain fog, memory loss, low libido, chronic fatigue, depression, and other neurological problems.  In fact, toxic mold is now considered far more dangerous than asbestos or lead-based paints, but you don’t see toxic mold legal cases popping up left and right, because they’ve made them nearly impossible to prosecute. Why? For two reasons… 1: Mold is naturally occurring part of Earth’s biosphere, rather than a man-made substance, and second… Because it would literally destroy the US real estate and insurance markets overnight. If you can imagine what it would look like for a lawyer to walk into any building in the country with a mold test, which is going to provide a positive result in at least 50% of the buildings in the country, and then sue the builder or owner, the economic havoc that would ensue would be unimaginable.  There is a very good chance that you, or someone in your family is currently stuffing from health challenges that are a result of mold exposure, and they have no idea that’s the case.  I would not wish what I went through on my worst enemy, so this podcast interview is one way that I can share my experience with others, in order to give them the hope and resources they need in order to heal, and get their lives back.  To help me do that, I’m joined by one of the many amazing doctors I’ve had the chance to work with during my journey, Dr. Rajka Milanovic Galbraith.  Dr, Rajka is a board-certified Functional Medicine Doctor, and she specializes in helping toxic mold patients.  Resources: ConqueringMold.com DrRajka.com Follow Dr. Rajka on Facebook | Instagram | Youtube Braintap Music: Song: Egzod & Neoni - The Revolution (Arc North Remix) [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://NCS.io/TheRevolutionRMX Watch: http://NCS.io/TheRevolutionRMX

Would you like to know how to grow a large and engaged following on social media? Well today our guest is arguably the best person in the world to learn from.  His name is Brendan Kane, and Brendan decided to grow his social media following from 0 to 1 million followers in just 30 days, just to demonstrate how it can be done.  Now the interesting piece of this puzzle is that Brendan is very much an introvert.  But he’s also incredibly scientific when it comes to figuring out how these platforms work. In a nutshell, he discovered that if you want your content to be seen by a lot of people, then you have to befriend the algorithm. And if you want to befriend the algorithm, you simply need to follow the three steps that he’s going to share with you here today in this incredibly valuable interview.  While social media definitely has its faults today, it is also an incredible opportunity to share your message, your products, and your services with the world in a way that’s never been possible before.  But there is a war being played out every single day for the eyeballs and attention of your audience.  How do you win that war? By winning over the algorithm.  If you’re ready to learn how to do exactly that, please get ready to take some notes, and help me welcome, Brendan Kane.  Resources: Book.HookPoint.com OneMillionFollowers.com BrendanJKane.com bkane@brendjkane.com Follow Brendan on Instagram Music: Song: Elektronomia - Sky High pt.II [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://NCS.io/SkyHigh2 Watch: http://youtu.be/lG6HVrrXup8

If you’ve ever wanted to build an extremely large business… One that could potentially do billions in revenue… There’s a pretty simple, proven way to do that, especially here in the US… So what’s the secret? You find an industry that already does billions in sales, and you start a business that offers a healthier version of those products.  Unfortunately, most people will look at an established industry and think the opportunity is gone, and that it would be nearly impossible to compete against the 500 pound gorillas in the space…  But that’s simply not the case…Look at Whole Foods as an example…They started up in the broring established grocery store business, and became one of the world’s biggest success stories by doing one thing… Stocking the shelves with healthy products instead of processed garbage.  Tesla is now the most valuable car company in the world because they took an unhealthy, dirty product, and created a healthier version.  We’ve previously had the Founder of Method on the show a few years ago. Method makes healthy, chemical-free detergents and soaps, and were able to carve out a massive piece of market share from the traditional incumbents.  Another guest was the Founder of Butcher Box… The meat industry is massive, with billions per year in revenue… Butcher Box has been growing like crazy because they decided to offer the highest quality, cleanest, and healthiest animal protein in the country.  Are you starting to see the pattern here? People will seek out, and pay a premium for access to clean and healthy products. Well our guest today is about to do the same thing in one of the most boring industries you can think of… Mattresses.  Mattresses aren’t new, and they’re not sexy, but guess what? You spend about a third of your life on one, and guess what? Your current mattress is literally killing you.  It contains dozens of extremely harmful chemicals and fire retardants that can give you cancer, and cause all kinds of health problems, and your face is pressed up against it for at least 8 hours per day.  When Shane Coker discovered this more than a decade ago, he started Austin Natural Mattress.  They create some of the only healthy, chemical free mattresses in the world, and now the world is starting to take notice.  Shane is about to turn this local company, into a national brand based on this one proven strategy…Walk into a massive, crowded industry, and offer a healthier product.  It’s going to be a fascinating success story to watch, and you aren’t going to believe what you’re going to learn about the mattress you just slept on last night, and the insane chemicals these companies use.  Resources: AustinNaturalMattress.com Music: Song: Raptures & Jeonghyeon - Into The Light [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://NCS.io/IntoTheLight Watch: http://youtu.be/loB4bRVTVbA

I’ll bet there’s a very good chance you feel like you’ve just stepped out of a month-long fight.  I’ll bet you’ve felt like your way of life has been threatened, and that your values were under attack.  And I’ll bet that you’ve gotten into a few heated discussions either online or in person, that led you to feel separated from, and maybe even a little betrayed by some of your friends or family members.  Well for better or worse, this election is over, and half the country feels like they won, and the other half feels like they were cheated.  With that being said, the most important thing now is that we use this period of escalated emotions to learn about the world, ourselves, and others.  And what kind of lessons could those be? Well I believe that the top of the list should be the skill of healthy and effective communication.  This is arguably the most valuable skill in the world, and it’s also one of the rarest.  Do you know how to have a healthy conversation with people who disagree with you? Do you know what to do when emotions rise and how to de-escalate a situation that’s spiraling out of control ? Do you know how to use healthy boundaries to protect yourself from people who do not have these skills? Well today my friend Lee Noto stepped up to join me in this extremely important conversation.  Lee is a master of human dynamics and relationships, and she is going to share some wisdom with you today that you can carry with you into every single conversation you have in your life, whether it’s with your friends, a family member, or a complete stranger online.   What you’re about to learn is a superpower in a world that’s literally gone mad, and we would like to give this skillset to as many people as we can.  Resources: LeeNoto.com Follow Lee on Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn | YouTube Music: Song: Abandoned & Shiah Maisel - Finally Healing [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://NCS.io/FinallyHealing Watch: http://youtu.be/hkas1m6m9AQ

One of the biggest wake-up calls that came from dealing with my health crisis the past few years, was the fact that I did not have true passive income when I needed it most. I would have never imagined ever being in a place where I wasn’t able to physically work for more than two years. It was simply not a part of my reality. None-the-less, that’s exactly what happened. Dealing with a health crisis was hard enough. Adding financial stress on top of it made it infinitely more challenging. As you can imagine, I’ve sworn that I’ll never be in that place again. Over the past year, I’ve turned all of my focus towards the creation of truly passive income… This is money that doesn't come from a business, but from assets like dividend stocks and cash flow real estate. One of the people I’ve met along the way during this new journey, is our guest today, Justin Donald. Justin is a self-made millionaire and has turned himself into one of the smartest people I know when it comes to money and investing. He has also come to understand the difference between active income from a business, and lifestyle income from passive investments. Today he’s going to share his story with you, and how you can achieve actual financial freedom. He’s going to share how he got his start, what he invested in, and how he makes sure he never loses money on any of the investments he makes. If you want to learn more, he has a book called The Lifestyle Investor, which is excellent, and I’d highly recommend picking up a copy.

If you’ve ever suffered from any kind of chronic illness, or if you know someone who has, this episode could change your life, or theirs… Our bodies are under assault on a daily basis… We’re eating dead and processed foods that are high in toxins and low in nutrients. We’re exposed to toxic chemicals, preservatives, pesticides, EMF radiation, and heavy metals in the air, our water, and what we eat.  This is putting an unprecedented amount of pressure on our immune systems.  Autoimmune diseases are skyrocketing, and as a result, there are entire niches in the food industry that are popping up with products designed for the growing number of people who can’t eat foods with wheat, dairy, or nuts because they cause an immune response in the body...  In addition to that, it’s estimated that over 60 million people are dealing with some form of parasitic infection.  As this toxin load increases, our immune system’s ability to handle the burden decreases, which opens the door to illnesses like Chronic fatigue, Lyme, toxic mold, and parasites. So what can you do about it? How can you detox your body, and strengthen your immune system? Well today Dr. Todd Watts, who’s the founder of Microbe Formulas is going to tell you how. This isn’t about a juice cleanse or the basics you’ve heard about hundreds of times before. Dr. Watts is going to walk you through the body’s detox pathways, how they work, and how you can give your immune system the support it needs now, and into the future.  Resources: MicrobeFormulas.com Music: Song: Jim Yosef - Firefly pt.

This has been one of the hardest years in history for a lot of people around the world.  Maybe it’s been yours… Maybe you’ve lost your job, or your business… Maybe you lost your relationship or the life of a loved one… Maybe you’ve given in to addictions like drugs, sugar, alcohol, or Netflix in order to help you escape the pain, stress, and anxiety you’ve been dealing with on a daily basis… Suicide, child abuse, and domestic abuse are at all time highs right now. People are in pain and they don’t know what to do about it.  Well today I get to introduce you to a friend of mine, and a force of nature with one of the most incredible stories you’ll ever hear, Garrain Jones.  Garrain knows what pain feels like... He knows what it’s like to lose his father. He knows what it’s like to live in a car for years at a time..  And he knows what it’s like to go to prison...  But he also knows how to pull yourself out of any situation you’re in, no matter how bad it might seem, and create a new future that’s filled with purpose, joy, gratitude, success, and abundance.  You see, your current situation is not who you are... It’s just a moment in time combined with the meaning you choose to give it.  Whether it was when he was in prison, or broke and sleeping in his car, Garrain did not let his situation or circumstances define him as a person.  So he decided to change his mindset, which then changed his life.  Today he’s an 8-figure entrepreneur who’s spoken on stages around the world, and a man with an infectious zest for life that the world needs more than ever… If you’d like to know how he turned his life around, there are five steps, and he’s going to walk you through each of them here today… Resources: GarrainJones.com Follow Garrain on Instagram The Power of Positive Thinking Music: Song: Lost Sky - Need You [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/NeedYou Watch: http://youtu.be/ZpsV5SGa5R4

How many times have we all heard the saying, “Freedom isn’t free”? I know I’ve heard it hundreds of times throughout my life, but it’s always been reviewed through the lens of war. Yes, I understand that securing our country and its freedoms have required us to go to war and make the ultimate sacrifice such as WWII, but without the context of war, and without a clear enemy, what does that phrase actually mean? If freedom isn’t free, then what price have I been paying to keep and protect our freedom? And I have to say that after I really thought about it, my answer was, “nothing”. Outside of sharing a few posts on social media, I’ve done absolutely nothing. And I’ll bet the same goes for you. After all, what can we do? What are we supposed to do? Well, have you ever seen a pinata at a child’s birthday party? You’d blindfold the kiddo so they can’t see what’s happening, spin them around to disorient them, and then give them a stick to flail aimlessly in the air while trying to tell them which way to turn and where to swing? Well that my friends, is what we look like. The media and social media outlets have put a blindfold over our eyes so we can’t see what’s actually happening, while the media, Mark, and Jack tell us where to look, what to think, and who to blame. Whenever given the opportunity, politicians, (and I’m speaking to you Gavin Newsom and Phil Murphy, and Steve Adler), have done everything they can to harm Americans, instead of serving them. They have destroyed our cities, and Gavin wins the prize for taking out the entire State of California. Marxist organizations like Antifa have been allowed to roam the streets, burn houses and businesses, and murder American citizens without challenge or penalty. Small businesses and restaurants have been forced to close, while Walmart and Target remain open and filled with people. Family gatherings and Church services have been outlawed, but political marches and protests are just fine. When you look at how this situation has been handled over the past year, and if you’re a trusting and optimistic person, you might chalk all of this up to incompetence. But when you zoom out, and when you include what just took place in the Presidential Election, what’s really happening becomes incredibly clear. If someone is willing to set aside their personal beliefs and bias and look at what just took place on Election Night, the evidence of fraud is absolutely overwhelming. Every single day, you and I use encrypted, secure apps from our banks, and services like PayPal, and Venmo. But when it comes to voting, nope… We use machines with software developed outside the US with code developed for Hugo Chavez, we use overseas servers in Germany to count the votes, and then we have paper ballots that have been printed by the tens of millions, and that can be used by anyone without any kind of ID verification. Why? Because they don’t want free and fair elections… Just the illusion of them. What they actually want is power and control. And this is where I draw the line. Without free and fair elections, America is dead. Our entire country and system of governance is based on voting, so if the voting system gets compromised and controlled, that’s it. The America you and I have loved is gone, and that is what’s at stake and about to happen right now on our watch. This is not a political statement. I did not vote for Donald Trump, or Joe Biden, and who you or I want to win is absolutely irrelevant. If a compromised election goes through and is allowed to stand, then there’s no turning back. The purpose and point of voting will be gone. Our voices will be silenced, and we will never be able to elect our representatives again. Do you remember whenever you’d see a Presidential Election in Russia, and Putin would magically win every single time and you’d sit there and kinda laugh at the ridiculousness of the whole spectacle? Well, that’s what we’re about to have here. This is the moment when you and I have to take off the political party hats, remove the signs from the yard, turn off the propaganda, and come together as one… Not as Republicans or Democrats, but as Americans. Today I’m joined by the billionaire founder of OverStock.com, Patrick Byrne. Patrick isn’t perfect, but he’s a patriot, and he has also come to realize that if the election system gets compromised, that’s it. Life as we know it will come to an end. He doesn’t care if Trump wins or Biden wins. He cares about protecting and preserving America, and he’s speaking out now because this is it... This is the moment. When you zoom out far enough, you’ll start to realize we are at war. Our political leaders have been compromised, they are being controlled, and so is our election system. The American people have been side-lined with irrational fear over a virus with a 99.8% survival rate. Our innate ability to come and stand together has been eliminated through the use of masks and social distancing. Our mayors have defunded the police, enabling rampant crime in the streets. And while we cower in our homes, the enemy has gone to work to take control of the single greatest point of leverage in the country… Our voting system. Russia and China know they can’t win a hot war against America, and once they control our leaders and our elections, they’ll never have to. They will have won. So what am I doing to pay the price for my freedom? This. I’m ending my silence and I’m speaking up and loudly and as often as I can, even if I risk losing customers, or my ability to use the platforms my business relies upon. I’m joining JP Sears, Brian Rose, Sean Whalen, Andy Frisella, Patrick Byrne and a growing number of others who are doing the same. If you want America to survive, set aside your politics, and stand up for the Constitution, stand up for your rights, and stand against the tyrants who are no longer at our doorstep, but in our homes, on our phones, and in our positions of power. If you want to know who the enemy is, they don’t wear military uniforms… But they are the ones who are telling you to live in fear, telling you to stay home, telling you what to think about the election, and telling you to close your business down. And as you can probably now see, we are surrounded, and they are about to put a knife into the heart of Liberty. If you are too afraid to speak out, then they’ve already won. You have been intimidated into obedience, which is all they needed. Freedom is not free. So what are you willing to sacrifice in order to keep yours?

Today’s episode should be a huge dose of ideas and inspiration for you, whether you’re a brand new entrepreneur, or a seasoned vet… Geoffrey Setiawan is a young man with a passion for helping people with their relationships… Specifically, he helps men save their marriages and from the testimonials I’ve seen, he is very, very good at it. Well a few weeks ago, I saw an interview with Geoffrey where he explained that he was making up to $70,000 per month in sales of this program, without paying a dollar in paid ads. In fact, 100% of his business was coming from a few YouTube videos he’d been posting. So I looked him up on YouTube, and he had less than 5,000 subscribers, and that blew my mind... Here’s someone making right around $1MM per year in course sales, and generating over 100 leads per day for free, after posting a few dozen videos online. I thought this would be an incredibly valuable story to share with you guys, so I reached out to Geoffrey, and today he’s going to walk you through his entire process, step-by-step… Resources: Follow Geoffrey on YouTube Music: Song:Jonth & Hilefex - Non Stop [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream:http://ncs.io/NonStop Watch:http://youtu.be/15SiwK-Hrbk

Today I have the pleasure of introducing you to Mac Lackey. Mac has a pretty incredible history as an entrepreneur…  In fact, he sold his first business for 8 figures by the age of 27, and since then, he’s started, scaled, and sold 5 additional software companies.  While a lot of entrepreneurs think about the idea of selling their business for tens of millions of dollars or more as some kind of dream, Mac has turned it into a duplicatable process.  But what’s really unique about him, is that he doesn’t sell his businesses based on your typical earning formula.  Instead, he markets and sells his businesses to strategic buyers who are willing to pay 10-20 times more for his company than it would usually sell for.  A great example of a strategic acquisition would be WhatsApp, which was purchased by Facebook for $19 Billion in 2014, even though Whatsapp didn’t have any revenue at the time.  Can you imagine selling your business for $19 Billion, even though you’re not making any money yet? Well the rules get thrown out the window when you find a strategic buyer, and today Mac is going to teach you how to do that.  In fact, I was so impressed by Mac and his experiences, as well as the humble leader that he is, I asked him to join my new software company as an advisor a few weeks after we recorded this interview.  We’ll be launching in Q1 of 2021, so make sure you stay tuned for more news about that in the months to come.  So if you’ve ever thought about selling your business at some point in the future, get ready to take some notes, and please welcome Mac, Lackey.  Resources: ExitDNA.com/Dillard Music: Song: Facading - Take It Down [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/TakeItDown Watch: http://youtu.be/PD8DU1bqvqg

One of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, skills in the world, is Neuro Linguistic Programming. I’d personally describe NLP as the use of words and phrases designed to intentionally manipulate the human subconscious. Your thoughts and expectations determine your physical reality, and your thoughts and expectations are largely a result of the input you receive from the world around you. If you are told that a person is good or bad from multiple other people or sources you trust, your brain is designed to accept that belief as true. This is one of the many ways your brain attempts to conserve calories and energy. If it didn’t accept the general consensus, your only other option would be to verify what you’re being told yourself, which could take days, months, or even years to do. It would be terribly inefficient. This energy-saving mechanism can essentially bypass our conscious minds, and plant thoughts and beliefs directly in our subconscious. The bad news is that people and companies can intentionally use NLP to literally brainwash you… To control your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions, without you even realizing what’s happening. We have never seen a greater display of this that we have this year during and after the election. The good news is that NLP is one of the most powerful tools in the world that you can use to manipulate and reprogram your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. If you’ve ever wanted to change your results in life, the very first step you must take, is to think differently. Well today you’re going to learn how to tap into the power of NLP with Brandon and Deb Yager. Not only are Bandon and Deb two very good friends of mine here in Austin, but they are Master Certified NLP coaches. In this fascinating interview, they’re going show you how all of us are actively being manipulated by the media on a daily basis, and they’re also going to teach you how to use NLP to start creating dramatic changes in your life for the better. At the end of the day, your potential in life… What you can accomplish and who you can become, is determined by the subconscious beliefs and stories that each of us have. NLP is the key to revealing those stories, and to reprogramming them so that you can become defined by the vision of your future, instead of the stories of your past.

I follow hundreds of crypto companies and experts on Twitter, and a few years ago I came across a Twitter account called @TryLolli.  It was for a startup based in New York that was doing something pretty smart… They were partnering with the world’s biggest online retailers, and giving shoppers free Bitcoin back, whenever they made a purchase.  So anytime you buy something from BestBuy, Macy’s, Foot Locker, or Sonos for example, you can get back 3-10% of your purchase back in Bitcoin.  Lolli has started to catch on like wild-fire and it became one of the first mass-market use-cases for Bitcoin because savvy shoppers knew that the Bitcoin they were getting back, could literally end up being worth more than the full price they paid for their purchase.  For example, if you purchased $1,000 worth of products using Lolli back in February of 2020, and got back 5% in Bitcoin, you’d have $50 in Bitcoin.  At that time the price of Bitcoin was around $3,500. So you would have received .014 Bitcoin.  Well today, as the price of Bitcoin hits $18,000, the value of the free Bitcoin you received would now be worth $252.  If Bitcoin hits $100,000 in the year to come, that free $50 in Bitcoin you got from Lolli would be worth $1,400.  Using Lolli right now to buy the things you’re already buying, could literally end up covering 100% of the cost of those items within the next 1-2 years.  It’s brilliant, so I jumped on the phone the Founder, Alex Adelman to talk about Lolli, and how he created the business.  He is an extremely savvy entrepreneur, and you’re going to go behind the curtain of the entire rebate industry in a way that you’ve never seen before.  Now before we dive in, I want to let you know that I spent the past week creating a new course called The Beginner’s Guide To Investing In Crypto Assets.  I can tell from the comments I get online that there are still a lot of you out there who would love to invest in Bitcoin or Ethereum, but you just don’t know how, and you aren’t comfortable.  I totally get it, so I wanted to help.  Resources: Lolli.com Follow Lolli on Twitter | Instagram | Facebook   Music: Song: Whales - Lights [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/WLights Watch: http://youtu.be/BDA_HP0eVAo

If you’ve been a part of my world for more than a year or two, you know that I’m a huge fan of Bitcoin and crypto assets for years. I bought my first Bitcoin in 2013 for $75, and I’ve been continuing to buy more every single year.  Well, the next Bitcoin bull run has begun, and within the next 12 to 24 months, I predict that Bitcoin will hit $100,000 more.  Simply put, this is your last chance to make life-changing money by investing in crypto assets.  That’s not hype or hyperbole.  That’s simply the timing based on real-world facts and events, and that’s exactly what we’re going to discuss today.  In 2018, I started shouting from the rooftops that Wall Street is coming to crypto, and when they do, they’re going to bring Trillions of dollars with them.  A few of you believed me. Many of you didn’t.  Well, Wall Street is here.  The rules and regulations required for institutions to buy, sell, trade, and custody crypto assets have been put in place over the past 24 months.  You can now buy and sell Bitcoin on Square’s Cash App, and two weeks ago PayPal announced that they will be offering the same ability to their 300 million global customers.  Last month, banks around the country were given the ability to use crypto as well.  With the dollar being printed away through trillions in stimulus, anyone and everyone who is paying attention realize that Bitcoin is about to take its legitimate place in the global economy.  Simply put, if you buy before they do, you win.  To help bring you up to speed on what’s happening, I’m joined by my friend Teeka Tiwari who’s the Founder of my favorite crypto research publication.  Teeka has a team of 20 full-time researchers who do nothing but research the crypto market to find the best assets to invest in.  I’ve been a customer of their work since 2017, and I wouldn’t want to invest in this industry without them.  Resources: PalmBeachBitcoin.com     Music: Song: More Plastic - Let Me Go [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/LetMeGo Watch: http://youtu.be/hoUtpjA5HLg

Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing and being a part of something absolutely incredible... In fact, it is without a doubt, the single most impactful experience of my life… I’m not referring to a specific event, but rather the gathering of an ever increasing number of people I consider, real life superheroes. It’s as if Austin has become a source of gravity for people around the world for people who have for lack of a better term, woken up, who have overcome life’s biggest challenges, and who have turned their challenge into a super power they’re now using to change the world for the better. Every month, another superhero moves to town, and the pull of its gravity becomes stronger and stronger, and as a result, it pulls even more like-minded leaders here. Many of these people have become our best friends, and in many ways we’ve become a family, and I have to say that being a part of a family made up of real life superheroes is about as good as it gets. Looking at our tribe from the outside, I can say that everyone has really come together because we share the same values and aspirations... Everyone in this group has moved past their ego and has taken off their mask. Everyone has done, and continues to do, the deepest, scariest, and most challenging aspects of personal development possible. We see each other and accept each other as we are without judgement. And each of us has made it our vocation in life, to be of service to others. Well today I’d like to introduce you to my friend, and someone I consider to be a real world superhero, Dr. Dan Stickler. He and his wife Dr. Mickra Hamilton (whom you’ll be hearing from in a future interview), are the founders of the Aperion Center. If you were to gather the world’s smartest experts in health, wellness, and longevity, Dan and Mickra would be among the top 10. They are on the cutting edge of medicine today and their purpose is to help the rest of the superheroes around the world, live the longest and most productive lives possible. While the rest of the medical industry has become nothing more than a sales office for big pharma, Dan and Mickra’s practice utilize epigenetics, peptides, psychedelics, and cutting edge data-driven analysis of every aspect of your health, mentally, physically, and emotionally. In fact I’ll just put it this way… If Tony Stark wanted to find a doctor who could help him live forever, he’d call Dan and Mickra. So today you’re going to hear about some of the incredible therapies that are now available for people like you and I who want to extend our quality of life for as long as possible, but I think the most important part of this interview is at the end. This week, Dan and Mickra have decided to start a mastermind group for people who share the same values as the rest of our tribe here in Austin. If you resonate with some of the values that I shared with you earlier, and if you’d like to plug into our tribe and, then I’d highly recommend you take some time today to learn more about the group at the end of today’s interview. They’re only accepting 60 members, and the caliber of people are going to be incredible.

When my friend Zach over at Scribe Media hit me up and asked if I’d like to interview the former CEO of Chipotle, I said heck ya, that sounds awesome. I’d love to talk to someone who’s helped build a business that I eat at all the time, and that’s currently valued at $38 billion dollars. But this interview with Monty Moran, turned out to be so much more… As you’re about to find out, Monty is one of the best conscious leaders in the world. I think we all naturally stereo-type people to some degree. Well Monty began his career as an attorney, but he ran and grew his law firm in a completely different way than you’d expect. Then he became the CEO of Chipotle, and he ran and grew the company in a completely different way that you’d expect. And today he is flying around American on a mission to heal the divide that’s been created in this country, in a completely different way than you’d expect. And he’s done all of this, but the age of 50. If Monty were running for President of the United States, this man would get my vote in a heartbeat, which is why I asked him what he would do in order to turn the country, and our culture around. I am going to remember and reference this interview for years to come, and I think you will as well. Please help me welcome, Monty Moran. Resources: Love is Free.

If you own a business, you’ve probably thought about starting a mastermind group at one point or another. You might even have one right now. I’ve said for years that there are only two ways to change your circumstances in life, and that’s by acquiring new information or meeting new people. Well, a mastermind is without a doubt, the most valuable tool in the world to acquire both at the same time. Events are great, but there’s nothing like the connection you can build when you spend 2-3 days with a group of people in an intimate setting. The levels of trust, transparency, and connection that can be created in that kind of setting, just can’t be replicated any other way. And if you can get paid to host one of your own, well that’s about as good as it gets. But with that being said, starting and running a successful mastermind that’s built to stand the test of time isn’t easy. I’ve been a part of a few myself, and today I get to introduce you to the Co-Founder of my favorite one… Hollis Carter from Baby Bath Water. If you have a successful business, I think you should consider starting a mastermind for your colleagues, and if you do, this an incredibly rare chance to get a behind the curtain look at one of the most dynamic and valuable groups in the world, and how it was built. As you’re about to find out, Baby Bath Water is unlike anything else you’ve ever heard of, from the way they vet their potential members, to the amount of time, money, and effort they put into turning all of their events into an unforgettable experience.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably wondered what in the world it must be like to own a prepping business in 2020. Good lord, talk about an industry that’s just crushing it right now… Well today, you’re going to hear a friend of mine who just happens to own one of the largest prepping companies in the world. His name is Byron Walker, and he is the Founder of SurvivalFrog.com. Yes, business is crushing it right now, but he almost didn’t make it. Just two years ago, Survival Frog was actually on its deathbed Byron was having to manage the company from month to month, despite the fact that they were making millions a year in sales. So what in the world was going on? They had record-breaking revenue, and were about to go out of business… Every business owner, myself included, reaches a point where sales and revenue can no longer cover up bad business management. Thankfully, Byron realized this as well. That’s when he decided to personally master his company’s books and finances. Previously, he’d relied on his accounting team and a CFO to handle that responsibility, which is what you’d expect to see in every company. But something was wrong. Something was broken, and no one could future it out, so he did. What he discovered not only saved SurvivalFrog, but it allowed profits and growth to soar. Today he’s going to teach you how he did it, and yes, we’re definitely going to spend some time talking about the crazy roller coaster ride it’s been, owning a prepping company during the wildest year in our lifetime.

I know many of my listeners and readers are interested and invested in Bitcoin and the larger crypto industry, so I wanted to take an opportunity to talk about the industry in general, and the changes we’ve seen take place recently. If you have been paying attention to the industry, you’ll know that Bitcoin transitioned into a bull market this year in July for the first time since the market peaked back in December of 2017. Every long-term metric that matters, from adoption, to hash rate, to the number of users, and even the financial infrastructure and laws that have been put in place, are all pointing to massive growth potential in the industry. The SEC and CFTC are officially on board, Wall Street is on board, banks were given the green light to hold crypto assets last week, and the Federal Reserve is printing trillions of dollars in stimulus. This is creating a perfect storm for the price of Bitcoin in the years to come. To help me bring you up to speed on the industry today and these changes, I’m joined by Kyle Samani, who’s a managing partner at Multicoin.Capital. Multicoin is a crypto investment firm based here in Austin Texas, with offices in New York and Beijing. They currently manage a venture fund and a hedge fund for their clients with a sole focus on crypto assets and related companies. Now to clarify my headline, I have no idea how much crypto Kyle personally owns, but Multicoin.Capital has raised over $100,000,000 to invest in the industry from various clients that include Andressen Horowitz, and the Co-Founder of PayPal, David Sacks. They are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to this market. I find Kyle’s insights incredibly valuable, and I think you will as well. In full disclosure, I do not have any kind of official relationship with Multicoin.Capital, and I have not invested in their fund. With that being said, please help me welcome Kyle Samani.

You’re about to meet one of the most inspiring and driven people on the planet. Her name is Bethany Hamilton, and I discovered Bethany during family movie night last year when the kids wanted to watch a movie called, Unstoppable. At the age of 13, Bethany was one of the top female professional surfers in the world. Back in 2003 on Halloween morning, Bethany went for a morning surf session with her best friend Alana like they always did. But this time was different. As you can imagine, there are only two things a strong surfer might fear… Shallow coral reefs, and sharks. Well that morning, fate stepped in as a 14 foot tiger shark attacked Bethany, severing her left arm in the process. She obviously survived, but now she had a choice to make… As Tony Robbins likes to say, you can let things happen to you in life, or you can let them happen for you. Thankfully, Bethany chose to accept, to adapt, and to fight for what she wanted as she always had. One year later, she took home first place at her next professional event and by doing so, she became a role model to millions around the world. She has shared her story on Oprah, Ellen, and the Tonight show, and today she’s generously offered her time to share it with you. And I’d highly recommend that you gather the family together and watch her incredibly inspiring move, Unstoppable, on Netflix, iTunes, and Amazon. With all of the negativity surrounding us today online and offline, this is one movie that will make an unforgettable impact on you and your kids. Today, Bethany is a wife and mother of two, and she and her husband have dedicated their lives to mentoring and inspiring as many people as they can through an awesome online program you can learn more about at BethanyHamilton.com. Now on a personal note, I wanted to share some thoughts about this interview that I think about often... Bethany has reached a point in her life where she doesn’t want to talk about the shark attack any more, and that was the case during this interview as well. On one hand, I completely understand where she’s coming from. That event took place 17 years ago, and it has to be incredibly difficult to have a moment in time, define the rest of your life. You’re going to reach a point when it’s time to move on. There are chapters in my life that are over and that I don’t want to discuss either. But at the same time, I’m torn because this part of her life’s story is the catalyst for everything good that’s taken place since then. It’s given her the opportunity to make a positive impact on millions of young adults and athletes and around the world, and this part of her story is the reason why she’s been on Oprah, and Ellen, and all of the biggest platforms in the world. This is obviously an incredibly personal decision that is largely driven by your personal priorities in life. But if you want to build a business, that process starts with getting attention, and I think it’s a mistake to throw away the story that’s literally grabbed the attention of the world for nearly two decades. Either way, Bethany is a rock star in life and one of the rare role models in the world today who you can safely point your children towards. So watch Unstoppable tonight, and please help me welcome Bethany Hamilton.

Most online entrepreneurs rely on traffic agencies to run and manage their ad campaigns, and those ad campaigns are typically responsible for 90% of a company’s revenue. Hiring a great agency isn’t cheap… In fact, it can cost up to $10,000 or more per month, per marketing channel. So if you want someone to manage your marketing campaigns on Facebook and YouTube, that’s $20,000 per month before you’ve even spent $1.00 on the ads themselves. Well what if I told you there was a company that would do all of your marketing for free, and they’d only take a portion of every sale they made just like a standard affiliate? But they’re not an affiliate who might make a few sales per day or per month… They’re some of the best marketers in the world, and they can literally generate millions in sales for your product on a monthly basis. Well that company exists… It’s called GiddyUp.io, and today I’m going to introduce you to the Co-Founder, Eric Schechter. GiddyUp manages your entire marketing campaign… From creative, to analytics, and media buying, and they only get paid when they sell your product or service. This is called performance-based marketing, and it’s quickly gaining steam in our industry. This is a massive opportunity for product owners, and for ambitious marketers who have an interest in starting their own agency. If you’d like to hear how it all works behind the scenes, please welcome Eric Schechter.

They’re all clients who’ve hired our guest today, Jay Abraham for consulting. If you’ve spent any time at all in the marketing industry, you know that Jay is the most well-known, and most successful marketing consultant in the world today. I’ve followed Jay’s career for more than a decade, and I’ve always wondered how he built his consulting practice. Well this week I finally had the incredible opportunity to interview Jay, and ask him those questions directly. As you’re about to find out, Jay is literally a genius. His vocabulary alone blew me away, and you quickly realize that he’s forgotten more about business, than you or I have ever known. He was also gracious enough to dive into his personal life when it comes to his relationships, his children, and his finances, which makes this an incredibly special interview.

In our previous episode, I interviewed my friend Aaron Parkinson who owns 7-Mile Media, which is a very successful online marketing agency.

But what you should really be excited about, is the fact that he’s going to walk you through their entire marketing strategy and business model that’s producing $2 million in sales per month right now.

There are a lot of new people who are coming into the online business space right now and they’re in the process of figuring out the puzzle just like we’ve all had to do at one point or another. Well today I wanted to help shorten that learning curve for everyone along with the help of one of my oldest friends and colleagues, Aaron Parkinson.

They build funnels, manage split-testing, provide consulting, and run ad campaigns for e-commerce and digital information businesses. And they’re extremely good at it… Their average return on ad spend for their e-commerce clients is 290%, and their average return for digital product businesses is 520%. In other words, they know exactly what’s working right now, and today Aaron’s going to bring you up to speed… Resources: WorkWithSevenMile.com Follow Aaron on Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter Music: Song: Barren Gates - Devil (VIP) [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/BDevil Watch: youtu.be/JZlTj7qqKOw

I’ll bet there’s a good chance you’ve had an idea for a software company at one point or another. I’ve built two software systems during my career, and I’m working on a third one right now that you’ll see next year. And I’ll just say this… The software business is extremely difficult, but it can be incredibly lucrative. The key to success is knowing where the landmines are before you step on them. Well today, we’re joined by Ryan Coon who’s the founder of Avail.co. Ryan created Avail to help make the lives or rental property owners easy. If you own a rental property, or plan to in the future, Avail is what you’d use to find tenants, screen credit ratings, sign leases, and collect rent, all from your smartphone. And the crazy part is that it’s only $5.00 per month, per property. Today, Avail is growing faster than ever, but it didn’t start out that way. In fact, they had massive challenges when it came to finding their first customers… Figuring out their pricing model… And they even had to rename and rebrand the entire company just a few years ago. Today, Ryan’s going to teach you his biggest lessons-learned when it comes to starting and building a software business, and there are gems in here that are extremely valuable no matter what kind of business you own.

Man, this interview really hit home for me, and I think it’s going to do the same for you. In fact, this is one of those rare interviews where you absolutely have to go back and listen to it a second time while taking notes, because it contains so much incredible wisdom. Today we’re going to dive into the difference between grinding for success and achieving effortless fulfillment. Our guest is Shanna Lee, and for many years, she was a grinder at the top of her game in real estate. She was one of the most successful agents in the country, and one day she realized that success and fulfillment are two completely different things. She gave up her career, everything she owned, and headed down a completely new path in life that has led to absolute joy, real fulfillment, the opportunity to discover her true purpose, and financial success, without the stress. If you are focused on amassing money, and things, and if you’re grinding up the mountain of achievement every single day to acquire them, you are playing a fool’s game, my friend. If you are comparing yourself to others and think that you need the mansion and the cars to be happy, you’re playing a fool's game. Are those things cool to have? Sure… For a few months. But if you sacrificed your happiness, your health, and your true purpose to acquire them, you’re in for a rude awakening. The good news is that you can have it all… You can have financial success, real fulfillment, and lasting joy in your life. How? By discovering what your true purpose is, and by overcoming the subconscious programming and fears that are holding you back from walking down that path.

If you’ve been online for the past few years, you’ve probably seen ads from a young man named Dan Henry... Dan has a classic, “rags-to-riches” story thanks to the incredible opportunities that are online right now… As many of you know, when I got my start, I was dead broke and waiting tables at a PF Chang’s. And Dan? Well he was a broke college dropout who was delivering pizzas. At one point, he had to sell water bottles on the street just to try and pay the bills. Both of us swore we’d find a way to make it in business, and both of us found that opportunity in online marketing. Dan got his start by mastering Facebook ads. He started an agency running ad campaigns for bars in his local town, and quickly grew that business to more than $25,000 per month. Realizing he could dramatically scale his revenue by producing courses teaching what he knew, instead of running an agency, he did exactly that. His first course was called, “30 Day Agency”, and within 5 months, he’d made his first million dollars. Within three years, he’d hit $10 million in sales. Today, Dan has one of the best-selling courses in the industry on how to sell your knowledge for a premium price. I’ve gotten a chance to know him personally over the past few months, and he’s an extremely smart young man. If you want to make money online selling information and education, and do it quickly, then I’d highly recommend paying attention to what he has to share with you today.

Our guest today is James Schramko. James is one of the longest running, and most respected online marketers in the industry. If you haven’t heard of him, that’s likely because he doesn’t have a massive following on social media? Why not? Because he doesn’t really want or need one. What he does have, is the respect and attention of some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the industry who subscribe to his services which he charges up to $3,000 per month for. He also has an elegant, multiple 7-figure lifestyle business that he’s refined and improved for over 10 years now which is something you rarely ever see. So I thought I’d jump on a call with James, and have a detailed talk about business models because the two of us have seen just about all of them. Should you go with high prices or low? Should you build a business around monthly recurring income, or a one-time fee? Should you start an education company, an agency, or a software business? Should you focus on building a cash cow that can fund a nice lifestyle, or put all of the money back in your business and invest in future growth? These are some of the most important questions you’ll ever have to answer as a business owner, and today James and I are going to help you do exactly that.

One of the most transformative pieces of technology that has opened the gates of entrepreneurship during the past ten years, has been the invention of drag-and-drop funnel building software. Platforms like LeadPages and then ClickFunnels, gave brand new entrepreneurs the ability to create effective sales funnels for the very first time, without the need to learn how to code, or hire an expensive development team. The result has been an absolute explosion in new online businesses which has been awesome. But many of these platforms are starting to show their age. New features are few and far between, the code base has been pushed to its capacity, and customer service can take days to provide a response. Well a few months ago, my friend Jordan called me up to tell me about a new system he’d been working on called DropFunnels, and I was completely blown away. By the time I was done looking under the hood, I came to a very simple conclusion… Any business owner who cares about sales and revenue, is eventually going to end up using DropFunnels. Why? Because you don’t have a choice. As you’re going to hear today, DropFunnels has several important advantages over their competitors… The primary one is that it’s the first and only, drag-and-drop funnel builder based on WordPress, which is Google’s preferred website engine. This means that your pages load up to 95% faster which is one of the single biggest factors when it comes to your conversion rate and the cost of your ads. The second, is that your funnels and pages can finally get indexed by Google which will provide you with free organic traffic for the first time. These two features alone mean that the exact same funnel you’re using right now could be converting significantly higher by simply importing it into DropFunnels. At the end of the day, I was so impressed that I hired DropFunnels to import my funnels onto their platform, and I invested in the company. DropFunnels is officially the first and only software platform that I’ve put my name on in the past 15 years. So without further ado, let me introduce you to the Founder, Jordan Mederich, as he fills you in on everything you need to know about this game-changing software that everyone needs to use.

All of your problems and challenges in life are a direct result of the thought you think, and the beliefs you hold about yourself, your circumstances, or the world.

Last month, the murder of George Floyd set this country on fire, figuratively and literally, and it’s lead millions of people around the country to ask a few very important questions… Why does racism exist? Can you actually bring it to an end, and if so, how? At times like these, I think it’s more important to stop, observe, and listen before you speak, which is exactly what I’ve done for the last month. Our guest today, Tah Whitty did the same. And what he has to share as a result of this period of contemplation is absolutely incredible. See, I’m not interested in finger-pointing, blaming, or shaming people on this topic. I’m not interested in heated emotions and debates about the symptoms. I’m not interested in protests or burning buildings, or retaliation. I’m interested in addressing the root cause, which is an infinitely deeper topic than the average person is capable of comprehending, and it will take much longer to unravel and address than society would like to see. You have probably listened to, and had a lot of discussions about racism over the past month, but I can assure you that you have never heard one like this. This is different. You haven’t heard anything like this before, on this topic. What Tah is going to share with you is incredibly deep, and this is in my personal opinion, the most educational and strategic approach to racism, its causes, and a path to resolution that I’ve ever heard. By the end of this conversation, you’re going to have a new level of understanding about this topic, about your neuro-biology, about yourself, and most importantly, about what you can do to actually move the ball forward in the game of humanity. Please get ready for a fascinating, very different, and incredibly enlightening discussion about this topic. Resources: TahKole.com/racism GetHelpQuiz.com Music: Track: 2 Souls - Lonely (feat.

Today we have the opportunity to sit down with my friend Justin Brooke, who in my mind, is the king of online ads today. Why?

When it comes to marketing online, Justin is one of the best in the world, and clients of his include people like Russell Brunson and Dan Kennedy. But his career hasn’t been without its challenges. Justin found out the hard way that making a million dollars a year, doesn’t mean that you get to keep a million dollars per year, and that caused him and his family to make a radical lifestyle change. They sold their home, bought a 5th wheel trailer, and spent the next four years working from the road. Well today he’s going to fill you in on his biggest lessons learned as an entrepreneur, and then we’re going to dive into the latest and greatest paid advertising strategies that you can use to grow your business today. The fastest way in the world to increase sales, acquire customers, and build a massive audience is with paid ads, which means this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Hey gang, and welcome back to the show. One of the fastest-growing markets in the world is the CBD market. CBD stands for Cannabidiol, which is one of the many chemical compounds found in the cannabis and hemp plants. Cannabinoids can provide incredible health benefits ranging from improved mood, to better sleep, to pain and inflammation reduction, and they’re completely safe. In fact, your body and brain have built-in cannabinoid receptors which means we have a symbiotic relationship with this plant. As a result of its legalization here in the US a few years ago, you can now walk into any local gas station or grocery store and find all kinds of products from water and soda, to alcohol and candy bars, that contain CBD. But there’s a scam going on in the industry right now. Most CBD oils are dead. They have been pulled out of the plant and processed using heat or chemicals that denature and destroy their chemical structure, rendering them useless to your body. Which means you’re paying extra money, for a product that simply doesn’t work. On top of that, most CBD oils are manufactured from hemp plants that are grown in mass using pesticides. So how do you create a product that will stand out in a crowded market filled with cheap products? How do you earn and keep a loyal customer base in an industry that is becoming a commodity? Well, today I’d like to introduce you to the founder of a company who’s doing exactly that. Ted Moscovitz from AmmaHealing.co. Amma is changing the CBD industry in terms of quality, source verification, and use cases. In fact, I was so impressed by what they’re doing, I decided to become a seed investor before they launched last year. So if you’d like a valuable lesson in marketing and product differentiation, and if you’d like to try a real CBD product that actually works, please enjoy this episode with Ted Moscovitz, and stay tuned until the end for a valuable discount code I’d like to give you as a listener of the show so you can try Amma’s incredible products for yourself.

Soooo how are you enjoying 2020 so far? Calm? Relaxing? Filled with fun and adventure? Not so much? Ya me too. So this last Sunday, Michelle and I had a pretty amazing group of friends out on the boat, many of whom have been previous guests on this podcast... Christine Hassler, Stef Sifandos, Tah and Kole Whitty, and Mike Chang to name just a few. We talked about the events that have happened so far this year. We talked about the murder of George Floyd, and how this tragic event can be turned into a force for good. And as we continued to talk, we realized that every single person on that boat, without exception, was in a period of personal transition. Some people were stranded in Austin away from their home because of the health crisis. Others are in the process of moving into a new house for one reason or another, and others were in the middle of changing careers. There were 11 people on that boat, and not a single one of them was going about their lives as usual. 2020 is a year of transition for the world, and so far, that transition has been quite chaotic. The amount of trauma and fear being created in people right now is going to last a generation, and unfortunately, I don’t think this trend is going to slow down anytime soon with the election just 5 months away. So what can we do about it? How can we heal a nation and come out of this stronger, wiser, closer, and healthier on the other side? Well I have a few ideas, but in reality, the answers already exist, and they have for a good 2,000 years now. Whether you’re religious or not… Christian, Muslim, Buddist, or Atheist, the solution to every problem humanity creates, remains the same… Love, and forgiveness. They’re not an easy solution. Love and forgiveness both require strength, courage, wisdom, maturity, and selflessness. But at the end of the day, they are the only thing that allows true healing to occur, instead of perpetuating cycles of trauma, pain, and retaliation. A month ago, before the events of this past week, I had a chance to interview someone I consider to be one of the most interesting men in the world. His name is Victor Marx. I found Victor years ago on YouTube when I stumbled upon a video of him. Another man has a pistol pressed against his forehead, ready to fire. In that moment, Victor managed to grab the gun and point in back towards the aggressor in less than a second. If you blinked, you missed it. And as soon as it was over, applause and gasps of disbelief erupted from the audience. You see, Victor is a pastor, but not the kind you’d find at your local church. He was tortured as a child, and spent much of his youth lost and outraged at the world. Until he found Jesus, which became the defining moment in his life. Today, he has a beautiful wife and children, and in many ways, everything to lose. But instead of living in comfort, he chooses to travel to the most dangerous places in the world like Iraq and Afghanistan, with a gun, a Bible, and a bullet-proof vest. He is a white man in a foriegn land, putting his life on the line to fight evil, and to rescue little brown girls from sex slavery and torture. Why? Because love and forgiveness. Because that’s what he received from Christ, and because that’s the only real way to heal the world. Please help me welcome, Victor Marx.

There’s a part of the human dynamic we all share, which is the need to define ourselves and to create an identity. This set of personal beliefs is what ultimately makes us who we are. These beliefs are created as a result of all kinds of experiences we have in life… From growing up in a small farming town to a big city. From being raised by a single parent as an only child, or in a large family. To being bullied in school or one of the popular kids. And as we grow older as adults, this process doesn’t stop. It continues… We might take a personality test that tells us we’re an introvert… Or you might use your astrological profile to justify some of your behaviors, actions, or decisions. And while it’s critical that we do seek an identity, what’s really important to understand, is that the identity you ultimately create is not a result of what happens to you, or when or where you were born, but that it’s completely under your control. Ultimately, your identity is nothing more than the collection of stories you’ve created about yourself and accepted as true. And those stories are changeable. The nerd in school can become the tech billionaire. The single child from an abusive family can become a loving parent to many children. A poor kid from the hood can become a celebrity business tycoon. And an introvert can build an audience of millions of fans, and use their voice to change the world. You can let these stories define you, or you can define the stories. How? Well that’s what we’re going to talk about today with our guest, Benjamin Hardy. Ben has spent the past few years studying personality types, identities, and the processes by which we create our personal beliefs. These beliefs determine our expectations and our actions. And our expectations and actions, ultimately determine the kind of life we live. If you want to change your life, you have to start by changing the beliefs you hold about yourself. This is one of the most important interviews you’ll ever hear, so without further ado, please help me welcome, Benjamin Hardy.

There are millions of people who are being forced or inspired to start their own business for the first time right now, and unfortunately, they’re walking into a jungle filled with landmines. The vast majority of them will spend the next 3-5 years trying to figure out what kind of business to start, what products to sell, how to create a marketing funnel, advertise online, and everything in between. The ones who keep going despite the failures and false starts, are the people who will eventually make it, and create a new life of freedom for themselves as a self-employed entrepreneur. With that in mind, what would I do if I had to start all over again? Well there is one business model that provides the best chance at replacing a 6 figure salary, and that is selling your product or service for a premium price of at least $3,000 to $5,000. For example, if you want to make $10,000 per month, then you only need to make two $5,000 sales to make that happen. But if you were trying to hit that same goal by selling a $49 Ebook, you’d have to make 200 sales every single month. And yes, making 2 sales per month at any price, is infinitely easier than making 200. This is a lesson I learned way back in my networking days and it completely changed my life. I went from struggling and trying to build a business selling supplements and health products, to selling access to investing seminars for $10,000 each. Within months I was making 7 figures as a distributor for that business because higher prices provides you with so many advantages… Higher profits, higher end customers, and the bigger margins you need to market, and still have plenty of money left over to pay your bills. So if I had to start all over again, I would build a business that offered a premium product, for a premium price. So how do you do that, well today we’re joined by Joel Erway who is arguably the best in the world at helping people quickly and easily create a high-ticket sales-based business. When I started to really study this business model again over the past few months, he’s the guy I called because he has the simplest, and most elegant business model I’ve found in this space. So let’s dive in, and let Joel teach you how you can build a brand new business from beginning to launch in less than 10 days, that has the potential to produce 6-7 figures per year in revenue with one single product and marketing funnel.

A lot of business, products, and offers have been hit hard the past few months during this health crisis, but a few have taken off like a rocket. Show Her Off is one of them. A few months ago I started seeing ads for this product that teaches couples how to have a beginner’s dance night at home. But what really caught my attention, were the numbers of views, comments, and shares on these ads… They were higher than anything I’ve ever seen in my 15 years of online marketing. We’re talking about paid ads that are getting thousands of shares, and thousands of comments… And get this… 95% of the comments I read were all positive. I thought it would be awesome to dive into the details with the Founder of Show Her Off, so I reached out to Ryan Hunter Masters who joined us here today. Now what you’re also going to find a bit inspiring, is how simple Ryan has kept the funnel… It’s a single page checkout form on SamCart. There’s no sales video or long form copy… Just a headline, list of bullets, a bunch of testimonials and the $67 offer with a $42 bump sell on the same page. At most, it’s a $105 purchase, and Ryan’s killing it. He’s currently spending over $100,000 per month on ads, and everyone is having an amazing time. So I called him up, said hey let’s jump on the podcast, and walk everyone through this amazing little business that’s taken over the internet. There are some extremely valuable golden nuggets in here, especially when it comes to creating your ads, so listen up, and please help me welcome, Ryan Hunter Masters.

Is there such a thing as bad press, and what would you do if you were Bill Gates’ PR agent right now? Those are two questions I asked our guest today, Kristina Kennedy, who’s the Co-Founder of KickStand Public Relations. One of the most overlooked, and under-utilized resources that business owners can use to get attention and grow their businesses right now, is PR. The media is an insatiable machine that is always hungry for newsworthy stories, and if you learn how to feed them, you can turn their networks into a massive advertising channel for you and your business. But with that being said, PR has traditionally had a lot of weaknesses that have given modern marketers pause, like the inability to digitally track the results, and provide clear ROI data. Well Kristina and her team at KickStand have fixed that problem. They use modern data and tracking systems to help you increase the attention your stories get, and measure the return on your investment. Ultimately, they are one of the few PR companies in the world who can answer the question you’re going to ask them… Did this campaign cost us money, or did it make us money? You may be ready for PR right now, or you may not, but either way, this is an interview and a company you’re going to want to keep in the back of your mind for future reference. So what should Bill Gates do right now?

Whether you already own a business or if you’re starting one from scratch, you’re going to find this interview incredibly valuable. Our guest today, is Dane Maxwell, and he just published one of the best books I’ve ever read when it comes to starting a business. It’s called Start From Zero, it’s unlike any other book I’ve ever read for business owners. Why? Because he tackles the most important part about entrepreneurship, that most books miss, and that’s mindset. And I’m not talking about the basic, “think positive and write down your goals” stuff… I’m talking about a full-blown dissection of your inner-dialog and subsconscious. It’s about identifying the personal beliefs and stories you’ve adopted about life, yourself, what you deserve or don’t deserve. These stories are ultimately what determine your success. They’re the difference between people who struggle and who just seem to make everything work. This is one of the few books I’ve found myself highlighting page after page in years. Now in today’s interview, we’re going to get into the practical side of starting a business from scratch which is equally valuable, but I’d highly recommend that you order a copy of Start From Zero because we didn’t even get a chance to dive into the deep inner work portion of the book that I’ve found so fascinating. Please help me welcome, Dane Maxwell. Resources: Facebook StartFromZero.com StartFromZero.com/Five Music: Track: Hylo x Disfigure - I'm Here [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds.

If you’ve ever had an idea for a product that you’d just love to create and bring to life, but you just didn’t know where to start, then today’s episode is for you. We’re going to sit down with my good friend Ryan Moran who’s one of the best entrepreneurs and coaches I know of when it comes to this topic. He started down this path himself when he created a supplement company years ago for less than $1,000, and eventually sold that business for more than $10 million dollars a few years later. So how’d he do it? Well that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today. Form how to come up with your product idea, to how to get your very first customers, and everything in between. If you want to develop and launch a physical product business, right now’s the best time in the world to do it, because everyone’s hungry for business, and every cost is negotiable. This is going to be a life-changing interview for some of you, so get ready to take some notes, and please help me welcome, Ryan Moran.

The concept of community has made a dramatic shift over the past two months, hasn’t it? The sense of community we’d normally experience at work, or school, or simply going to the grocery store, or eating at a restaurant has been taken away. And they’ve been replaced with online communities. Work meetings have moved from boardrooms to zoom rooms. In many ways, as an online entrepreneur, things are largely the same. I still have a 20 foot commute to work every morning, and I still conduct business with my virtual team… Well virtually… But here’s what has changed… Micro communities have popped up online, and these communities are largely determined by your current mindset, mental state, goals, and sources of media consumption… For example, I’m in two private groups on WhatsApp… One group consists of entrepreneurs like Eben Pagan, Annie Lalla, Marie Forleo, Joe Polish, John Lee Dumas, Dean Gaziosi, etc… This group is focused on two things… Making sure everyone’s businesses are holding up, and the second, finding a way to help and serve the rest of society. The second group consists of friends of mine who have been through market crashes before, who have contacts in the military, and who are making sure everyone’s covered should a worst-case scenario take place. And then there’s a third group, which I’ll simply refer to as Facebook and the 3,500 friends I’m connected to on there. I don’t know about you, but my Facebook feed has become an absolute dumpster fire. It’s a full-on sewer pipe straight into the brain right now. Blame, finger-pointing, victim-hood, conspiracy theories, dispresect… All lead people to the same destination… A place filled with fear, disconnection, anger, frustration, trauma, and failure. You cannot think creatively when you’re looking at a virtual car wreck all day. You cannot lead, motivate, or inspire your team. You cannot solve your problems, create solutions, or wake up feeling empowered. Ultimately, your tribe will determine your destination, and after observing these different dynamics for the past two months, it’s become extremely clear to me that another option is needed. We all know the saying that you will get the results of the 5 people you spend the most time around. Well I want you to take a long hard look at who you’re spending your time around online, and on Netflix. Are you rummaging around in Facebook dumpster fire because you don’t know where else to go? Are you poisoning your mind with garbage like Tiger King every night? Yep, I watched it. On one hand it’s another car wreck you can’t look away from. And on the other, I felt like I’d just eaten a rotten meal that just poisoned my body. The most valuable asset you have right now is your brain, and your brain is a sponge that will soak up everything you expose it to, for better or worse. So I decided to create a new community. Something that was private and off of Facebook. It’s called Revvenue Mastermind, and the goal or Revvenue is simple… Over 100 A-players like the Founder of Sam Cart, two real estate billionaires… Two social media titans that run the campaigns for Brendon Bruchard and Russell Brunson, the best Facebook ad experts in the industry, the best YouTube ad agency owners, Robert Kiyosaki’s CPA, the best funnel builders, the best mindset coaches, and more… Have all joined Revvenue in the last 48 hours for two primary reasons… They want to be a part of a healthy community, and they want to surround themselves with other people who are focused on coming out of this situation bigger, better, wiser, and wealthier than before.   There’s no talk about a virus in the group. There’s no finger pointing, politics, or blame. And there’s no conspiracy theories or negativity allowed. Every week, we jump on a live zoom call together as a group, and we solve your problems, we provide each other with support and ideas, and we share valuable connections, resources. This is a community that improves your life, in every single way, and it’s the most valuable asset you can access right now. If you’re listening to this podcast and if you’d like to join the group, just head to Revvenue.com. Revvenue is spelled with two V’s because our goal here is to rev up everyone’s revvenue so you can keep your bills paid, your employees paid, and the economy turning. There’s even a way you can turn Revvenue into your very own income stream, and you can learn more about that as well at Revvenue.com. If you’d like to join, there’s a nominal fee that we’re using to cover the costs of running the group, and to support several charities that are providing food and shelter for people who can’t afford to take care of themselves right now. Right now until this Saturday, you can get a 33% discount off the normal price we’ll be charging moving forward, so make sure you head to Revvenue.com to learn more ASAP. Now with that being said, we have a special guest on the show today who happens to be the world’s foremost expert on building communities. His name is Jono Bacon. Jono helps companies build healthy and thriving communities and cultures. He’s previously served as the Director of Community at Github, Canonical, and XPrize. His clients include Intel, Google, Sony, Deutsche Bank, Santander, and Hacker One. He is the author of a brand new book called, “People Powered - How Communities Can Supercharge Your Business, Brand, And Teams.” If you lead a community of any kind, or if you see the value in starting one right now, you’re about to learn how to do that from the foremost expert in the world. And yes, he’s also a Member of the Revvenue Mastermind. Please welcome, Jono Bacon.

Sooo… Are you in a relationship right now? Well if you are, you’re either closer than ever right now, or you’ve never been further apart. You’re now at home with someone 24/7. Your kids are there with you. The news is keeping everyone all fired up and in anger or fear. Everyone’s normal routines have gone out the window. You might have a friend or family member in the hospital, and there’s a good chance that you’re probably experiencing some financial stress to just add a nice little cherry on top. I can’t think of a situation that could put more stress on a couple than this crisis. Well if that’s the case, I’d encourage you to look at this as an opportunity to benefit from something I call, “forced change”. This is a time or experience in your life when you’re literally being forced to change who you are, how you act, what you think, and how you live your life. All of these stressors are going to magnify what was always present. If you were previously disconnected as a couple, then this crisis is going to magnify that. If you were doing awesome and in flow, then you’ve probably grown closer as a couple. But making that transition is certainly easier said than done. It’s going to require courage, it’s going to require vulnerability, and it’s going to require some long-overdue apologies and healing. Well today we’re joined by to amazing humans who were a part of my healing journey last year, and who have become incredibly dear friends as a result. As you’re about to hear, Tah and Kole Whitty have been through just about everything a person can go through in life. Trauma, abuse, drugs, disease… You name it, they’ve been through it. But they turned those challenges into their gift. They’ve dedicated their lives to healing themselves, and healing others, and they’ve become masters of their craft. As a result of their work, they also have one of the most amazing relationships you’ll ever see. So I asked them to come onto the show to help you, heal yours, whether it’s with your spouse, your co-workers, your kids, your family members, or simply the relationship you have with yourself. This crisis is an opportunity to face and change the challenges you have in your life. The ONLY way you lose during this period, is if you don’t take action and use it as a catalyst to learn and transform. If you do that, you’ve won. If you need help doing that, call Tah and Kole. Without further ado, let’s dive in.

It’s no secret that businesses around the world are pivoting into online events as fast as possible right now out of pure necessity. But can you create the same kind of value, experience, and connection online, that you can offline in the real world? And what does an effective online meeting or event actual look and feel like? What do you say? How do you hold people’s attention? How do you convey value, and how do you turn a Zoom meeting into an unforgettable experience? I’ll be the first to admit that I haven’t thought about the answers to these questions until I had a chance to interview Baya Voce. Since 2010, Baya Voce has produced “magic touch” experiences ranging from two-person rituals to elaborate 1,000+-person immersive-theater productions (think “Sleep No More”). Whether 20-person Jeffersonian-style dinners or high-end finance conferences at Lincoln Center (and everything in between), Baya’s focus is engineering unforgettable moments. With more than 4 million views, her TEDx talk on loneliness is one of the most-viewed TEDx talks of all time. She has produced experiences in conjunction with brands like Lyft and Google Fiber, and she has been featured by Forbes, ABC, Fox, MTV, TEDx, and SXSW for her perspective on experience design and human connection. Well today she’s taken her incredible wisdom, and she’s teaching business owners how to turn online events, into life-changing experiences. I was absolutely blown away by what I learned from here today, and I know you will be as well. If you hold any kind of online meeting or event right now, or if you’re planning to, listen to this interview, share it with your team, and then listen to it again. It really is that powerful.

Michelle and Keith Norris are the founders of one of the most popular events in the United States, PaleoFX. For the past 8 years, more than 8,000 health, fitness, and biohacking experts including Ben Greenfield, Mark Sisson, Dr. Steven Gundry, and Jamie Wheal, descend upon Austin for a three day event that’s become a staple in the industry. But this year, that didn’t happen. As with every other major event in the country, PaleoFX was forced to cancel their event. Imagine this event was your entire business... That you’d spent the last 1.5 years planning, preparing, and investing money into a 3 day show that would produce the revenue needed to cover those expenses, and produce the profit required to keep it going the following year. Now imagine what it must have been like to find out that your event had been cancelled, and that you had no recourse. You’re still on the hook for all of the expenses, customers are wanting refunds, and if you don’t find a way to pivot and figure this out, bankruptcy is the only option left. Well that’s the situation Michelle and Keith are facing today, and she’s joined us to share this story, and what it’s like in the event industry, straight from the front lines. I’ll just say this… Michelle and Keith are absolute warriors. Their attitude, outlook, and fighting spirit are unbelievably inspiring because this isn’t the first or biggest challenge they’ve had to face. As you’ll find out, they’ve been through worse. I’ll save this part of the story for the interview, but it’s one of the primary reasons why PaleoFX was created, and why we all believe that they will win this fight, and that the show will go on. With that being said, I have a favor to ask… Once you’re done listening to this interview, please jump on Twitter or Instagram, search for Michelle Norris, and send them your support through Twitter or Instagram. I know it would mean the world to them.
