Simon Smart is focused on helping businessmen create a more powerful contribution, by helping them find their balls, and have more rewarding relationships, more vitality, and more personal power.   He's been involved in men's training, rites of passage, martial arts, meditation and warriorship for over 20 years, has trained thousands of US military personnel, delivered more death notifications than anyone should, and recently helped build a home services company up to $50M in yearly revenue. Originally from Scotland, Simon now lives in the desert of Southern Arizona.   In this episode, Mike and Simon discuss the benefits of meditation and the importance of alignment in achieving peak performance.    Meditation helps in catching unconscious behaviors and motivations and being in touch with one's real self. Alignment, on the other hand, is about setting the right goals that align with one's true aspirations and values. Without alignment, there is friction and pure force, which may lead to burnout and reduced performance. With alignment, there is power and peak performance.    The discussion emphasizes the importance of setting the right goals that are aligned with one's true self and values.         Connect with Simon Smart Instagram Private Mentorship Warrior Protocol   Connect with Mike Szczesniak Instagram LinkedIn YouTube

This episode was recorded on March 20, 2023In the 90s, technology stock valuations soared rapidly in the US. Investors were pouring money into Internet-based companies, and the value of equity markets grew exponentially. In 2000, things started to change. Between 2001 and 2002, the dotcom bubble burst, causing many tech companies to go bankrupt.Monty Schmidt is a serial entrepreneur and CTO who co-founded Sonic Foundry, a music tools startup that grew to $50M+ in revenue. After taking it public at the peak of the tech bubble, Monty was worth $200M on paper, but when the bubble burst, his net worth plummeted to ~$0.From hyper-growth to a market crashMonty helped create some of the first audio software for Windows in the early-mid 90s, which eventually became Sonic Foundry.Between 1995 and 1998, Sonic Foundry experienced hyper-growth and went public, raising ~$25M. By 2000, Sonic Foundry was valued at $1.2B, had an annual revenue of $30M, and about 400 employees.After the market crash, they only had six months of runway. Monty and his team took a few weeks to strategize and then laid off half the company to extend runway. They then took on some high-interest debt and cut more employees, and were able to sell the media part of their business to Sony in early 2003.Check out this episode of Crossing Borders to hear the story behind Sonic Foundry.Surviving unexpected market downturnsMonty found himself in a tough spot where he had to make the difficult decision to lay off half of his employees. Despite his optimism, the market failed to improve, and Monty made further cuts. After the deal with Sony, they had just 30 employees and $12M in the bank. However, thanks to their decisions, the company was able to continue operating to this day and employed hundreds of people over time.Monty learned during this time the importance of having 18 months of runway to weather any unexpected market downturns. He also believes that a more conservative approach during tough times is vital to ensure a company's survival. These decisions are not easy, but they can ultimately make the difference between success and failure in the long run.Check out this episode of Crossing Borders to learn more about Monty's lessons learned during market downturns.

Industry titan, Rod Khlief, joins the Breneman Blueprint on this episode. Rod lost over 800 houses and over $50M+ through foreclosure in 2008 and has recovered from that monumental setback in a big way. Rod is a multifamily investor with thousands of apartments, and he believes the most significant transfer of wealth in our lifetimes could be coming. We dive into that potential wealth transfer and a ton more:

When the crisis occurs outside of your home, if it's not peaceful and healed in your marriage, it becomes an additional stress instead of support in a horrible time. I am not sure if you've lived through war – literally – but if so, you'll relate to Alex. I'll share more about him in a second.   Every member of our DYM team witnessed life transformation in their own marriages (first) and then God seemed to give us a need for a position right as He gave us the person who fits that need.    But with our need for a tech and automations specialist, the expertise was so specific that it was important we go for someone who is foremost extremely good in their specialized field, as we can't risk the infrastructure of the organization to not work correctly.   That's when, last April we hired Alex as our tech and automations consultant. He has amazing experience in the field, with our specific systems, and has worked with hundreds of clients, some businesses making millions per year and one even $50M per year.   It was such a relief to hire him. Purely on a professional level, he has been amazing to work with – hardworking, proactive, humble, responsible, and (shockingly) positive.   But he was living through war.    Literally.   His home is the capital city of Kyiv, Ukraine, which was attacked last February. Since, he has endured this horror at his doorstep.   Eventually, he and his wife were able to escape to Spain but after a couple of months, they returned to Ukraine to help with generators and getting food and clothing to orphans suffering the bitter winter.   As a member of the team – he was the only one who hadn't gone through the program. But unlike anyone who has ever been a candidate for the program, he had seen the full backend. How we handle data, how we set up the program, the many transformation stories and really getting to know our team personally.    He also had an opportunity to decide is now a good time to focus on his marriage and take the Masculinity Reclaimed program.   During war.    He decided...   Yes, it was.   And his encouragement to you is "don't postpone it... as it won't only affect your marriage but it will have a positive effect on your entire life." All in all, there is hope. Even if you're struggling and the battle rages not only outside your home but inside. It is worth it to get your marriage better so you can withstand the difficulties and even literal wars in this life. We would love to help you. delightyourmarriage.com/cc   Blessings, Belah PS - Sign up for a free clarity Call to find out if you're the right candidate to witness the transformation as well: delightyourmarriage.com/cc   Another recent grad wrote:  "I want to reiterate my appreciation of the whole DYM process: from Dana's Clarity Call, Darcy's logistic support, Bob and Russ's guidance, the shared vulnerability and support of the other men, and Belah's profound wisdom through divine inspiration.  I would really recommend this program to all married men.  There is so much wisdom and depth to this program that can be applied to intermarital problems that seem almost universal.   I wish I had this coaching and information 30 years ago."  

In this episode of The Look Back, we catch up with mover and shaker Robyn Cohen, CEO and Founder of the W Collective - a Utah based group focused on elevating women in entrepreneurship - and she summarizes her goal in a few key data points;  As of last year, 16% of GPs at VC firms with $50M+ in AUM are women. We need more women in VC and angel investors!  We need more WOC starting businesses and raising money! We need more funding going to companies in the greater Intermountain West and not just the coastal states. Robyn is an accomplished professional with 15+ years' experience specializing in operations, business development and event production, having worked with startups, medium-sized businesses, as well as large corporations. Most notably, in 2017 she was hired as Managing Director at the Impact Hub Salt Lake, one of the city's first co-working spaces. Within her first six months, she increased revenue by 60%, achieved 100% occupancy, and negotiated an exclusive partnership with Slack to do an experiential marketing campaign in Q4 of 2017.

Mike Salguero is the Founder and CEO @ ButcherBox, the meat delivery subscription service that he has scaled to $600M in revenue, 215 employees and the national leader in the space. All of this achieved while raising $0 of venture capital. Prior to ButcherBox, Mike was the Founder & CEO @ CustomMade, an online marketplace that, unlike ButcherBox, raised millions in venture funding from prominent VCs. In Today's Episode with Mike Salguero We Discuss: 1.) The Makings of a Great Entrepreneur: How did Mike's father not being present in his childhood impact the type of leader he is today? How does Mike's fear of abandonment show itself in his leadership style? What does Mike know now that he wishes he had known when he started? 2. Consumer Subscription is Not a VC Backabale Business Model: Why does Mike believe consumer subscription D2C businesses are not VC backable? What are the biggest challenges of running a consumer subscription business? Why did all the D2C food prep and delivery companies fail? What did they do wrong? What happens to all the heavily funded D2C subscription companies of the last 5 years? Why does Mike believe now is the hardest time ever to do D2C consumer subscription? 3. The Secret to Efficient Marketing: How did ButcherBox scale to $50M in revenue with just one marketing channel working? When should founders think about the second channel? How should they choose which one? Why does Mike not like "brand marketing"? How did ButcherBox burn $8.5M on brand marketing? What are Mike's biggest lessons from doing this? What emerging channel does Mike see as having the biggest potential over the coming years? Why does customer acquisition increase with time? Why do elections cause it to increase? 4. The Economics of a $600M Revenue ButcherBox: How much does it cost ButcherBox to acquire a customer? What is their payback period on that customer? How has this change with time? What is the single metric that drives the profitability of ButcherBox? What are the single biggest points of margin in the business? What is the lifetime value of a ButcherBox subscriber? What are the single biggest points of churn in the customer lifecycle? 5. Venture Capital: To Raise or Not to Raise: Why did Mike never raise venture capital for ButcherBox? Has Mike ever sold secondary? Why not? What would Mike most like to change about the world of venture capital? What are his biggest lessons from raising VC with CustomMade? How did that impact how he approached building ButcherBox? What does Mike believe all founders need to know about raising VC?

For Ben Goldman, no challenge is insurmountable with a great work ethic and willingness to hustle. Having grown his own business, successfully exiting and becoming a leader in the acquiring company, you won't want to miss out on his story. As the Senior Vice President of Business Development and Digital Partnerships at Anteriad, it's Ben's job to be an expert in understanding marketing, sales, strategy, and how the three fit together to acquire your ideal customer. With his company's focus on programmatic marketing, Ben is uniquely positioned as business development and sales leader that really understands how all parts in the revenue cycle work together. Join Ben and Jim as they discuss intent-based marketing and sales with automation. They'll talk about the obstacles Ben faced on his journey as a founder, how his company was acquired and how he dealt with the transition. Ben will give his expert advice on creating a winning sales and marketing strategy. 3 Key TakeawaysA Good Company Has (Some) Tension: When your company has healthy tension it means you've all chosen a goal worthy of your time, and you all feel the passion and drive to get it to where it needs to be. Something is off if the leadership team is always agreeing.Your Challenge Is Also Your Gift: Growing up with dyslexia presented many challenges for Ben, but he wouldn't have it any other way. He turned his challenges into a creative mind, a relentless hustle, and an incredible work ethic that has got him where to where he is today. Choose the Right Advisors: When picking advisors, you pick people that have done the things you want to do. If you're looking to become a $50M company, then your advisors should have built a company to $50M. Otherwise, how could they successfully advise you on getting to that point? ResourcesBen's LinkedInAbout Ben is currently the SVP of Business Development and Digital Partnerships at Anteriad.

Completely uncensored and unfiltered, this conversation journeys a young boy from Stockton, California surviving a rough childhood, growing through grief and overcoming adversity to become a pioneer in the business. From Floyd Mayweather to Cardi B to Rhianna to Tiffany Haddish, Jason talks about how he was able to leverage close relationships to make a solid name for himself and go from blogger to reality tv star to podcast host to author to entrepreneur to media mogul as he continues to disrupt the norm of Hollywood and unlock stories that entertain millions. Jason acknowledges his brand, image and approach in the industry is sometimes questioned and comes off intrusive but he assures the guys it's one he's comfortable with because he'll always prioritize authenticity over a check. This style of storytelling is often unpopular among Hollywood's elite but it also has led to his company having a nearly 50M evaluation in a few short years and positioned himself as a trusted source of information. As Ryan, Channing, and Fred dive into the experiences that have shaped his journey, Jason opens up and reveals that witnessing the murder of his brother completely destroyed his feelings. Working through the effects and emotions from it all, Jason turned his pain into purpose and used his survivor mentality to cultivate the industry. Learn more about your ad choices.
