Many of us suffer from the fear of rejection, and we allow it to hold us back from doing things we love. In this episode, we have an amazing guest joining us on the show, Alex Grodd. He is an entrepreneur with an amazing story of how he transitioned from the corporate world into entrepreneurship. Alex’s passion is in the audio world. He helps entrepreneurs get the best out of their podcasts. Also, he is the ambassador of rejection therapy. In this episode, Alex will be sharing his story and giving us nuggets of wisdom on rejection therapy. Listen in and learn. How Alex transitioned into entrepreneurship Alex worked in the investment for ten years, but he wasn’t content with that career, and he wasn’t happy. He quit his job and went to school for an MBA, and that’s when it hit him that he was an entrepreneur. He decided to venture into the audio world. He met a couple of co-founders, and they started a FinTech company. And that’s when they built a mobile banking application. Alex is currently pursuing the audio world. Rejection Therapy Many of us get discouraged when we get rejected. According to Alex, we should all get used to being rejected and keep going no matter how many times we’re told no. Alex recommends that we get into a habit of asking for things that we know we’ll definitely get a no. For instance, ask for a discount when you least need it or deserve it. Getting rejected several times in a day gives you room to learn how to deal with rejection.  Alex’s Super Power Alex is among the few people who do not fear rejection. He carries rejection, learns from it, and makes himself and his business better. Alex comfortably confesses that he would not be the person he is today if he didn’t take rejection positively. His inner superpower is therefore taking rejection positively.

Alex Grodnik hosts the “Moving Up” podcast that lives on the popular Wall Street Oasis website, and is the Co-founder of fintech startup Payclub, "a next-generation banking platform for Gen Z." This lively conversation highlights Alex's thoughts on "chasing prestige” and “rejection therapy," which are relevant for Millennials and relaunchers alike.

A few weeks ago Kristen and I were out to lunch and we couldn’t help but overhear the conversation happening between the people at the next table.

 The man said to the woman, “If millennials had helicopter parents, then Gen Z has snowplow parents—They’re constantly clearing any obstacles or difficulties in their kids’ path.” 

We were intrigued and, quite honestly, it’s hard to deny the truth of that. We can all think of plenty of examples that prove that point.

 What baffled our unwitting lunch companions, and us too, is how short sighted “snowplow parenting” is. 

When a kid reaches adulthood and they’ve NEVER had to struggle, fail, be rejected, or challenge themselves, then they are completely unequipped for life in the real world. They become incredibly fearful, anxious, and overwhelmed, to say the least. 
 Failure, struggle, and rejection help people grow and become healthy, well-adjusted adults. But most of us are still afraid of those things, even if we’ve been through them before.
 In this month’s interview with an expert, we talked to Alex Grodnik, host of the Moving Up podcast, about how to desensitize yourself to failure and rejection. He’s a living example of how quickly you can get over your fears! We talked to Alex about: How he suppressed his innate entrepreneurial nature to pursue more “traditional” success with a high profile job on wall street, and why that didn’t satisfy him at all. Why he quit that high paying job, and why his friends from wall street are jealous of him, even though some of them make nearly $1,000,000 per year! How he’s been rejected at least 1,000 times since starting his own business, and why that hasn’t stopped him. Little ways you can strengthen your failure and rejection muscles, so that you’re more resilient and not as easily scared. After you’ve listened, leave a comment to let us know how Alex’s advice landed with you! And if you’ve got an opportunity to implement some “rejection therapy” in your life, we’d love to hear how you plan to do that. MORE ABOUT ALEX Alex is the co-founder of fintech startup Payclub, a free app that allows groups of friends to manage and budget money together.

Today, we’re going to punch fear in the mouth by discussing rejection therapy and what it can do for you. I know so many of us -- including myself -- limit our own potential by not going to what we want. Or worse, we don’t go for what we should be going after.Maybe there is a job you want to go for, and it’s a stretch for you.Maybe you believe it’s time for a promotion, but you’re scared to ask your boss.Maybe your co-worker is the hottest thing on the planet and you’re afraid things are gonna get awkward real quick once they say no.Well, dealing with rejection is a muscle, and today we’re taking you to the gym.I brought on Alex Grodnik, a true Career Warrior, and we’re going to talk about the concept of rejection therapy. Alex is the Co-Founder of Payclub and the Founder of Grod Media, which hosts the Moving Up Podcast.So let’s talk about rejection therapy because this can really take you up a notch in life!Questions we address:Who’s Alex Grodnik?First of all: Why are so many people afraid of rejection?What’s rejection therapy used for? Why is it so useful?What’s the key outcome I should be moving toward?Let’s talk about how we can practically use rejection therapy in our lives. How would I tell that listener to use rejection therapy as a tool in their job search -- or even to make them more of a warrior?What are some other applications I can use this tool for?Alex, if you could give one piece of advice to every job seeker on what they should do to be successful -- what would that be?Resources from the show:Check out Alex Grodnik's Moving Up podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moving-up/id1223825795Find out about how you can start your own podcast with Grod Media: https://www.grodmedia.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Imagine that you've got a great corporate job.  Big Salary.  Benefits. Free snacks!  But the job just doesn't feel good on your soul.  Your boss tells you that she wants you to be a white circle in a sea of white circles. To follow the steps.  To follow the rules. But you want to be a red X.    That's exactly how Alex Grodkin, the COO of Payclub felt we he left his high paying six-figure job to pursue his dream of being an entrepreneur.

In this episode we discuss how to break into careers in tough industries, the skills it takes to succeed in difficult circumstances, how to deal with the difficulty of constant rejection, how to build the “muscle” of determination, a hack for switching your thinking that can make it much easier to face challenging situations and rejection and much more with our guest Alex Grodnik.  Alex Grodnik is the COO at the fin-tech startup Payclub. Alex holds a finance degree from UCLA Anderson and has spent the past 9 years in investment banking, digital media, business development, and more. He is the host of the “Moving Up” podcast by Wall Street Oasis where he interviews business leaders to learn and share their secrets to success and life.What does it take to get a job at one of the toughest industries in the world From sending out hundreds of resumes amidst the financial crisis - what does it take to really succeed in finding the career you desire?Always be moving the ball forward - leverage any possible way you can to get into the door Be dogged, be determined, don’t take no for an answerUnique outcomes, huge life changing moments, don’t come from your first trial or your first failure How do you deal with the challenges of constant rejection?It’s all about practice and getting reps - getting reps getting rejected and building that muscle of determination Every no gets you one step closer to a yes If you’re afraid of something, exposing yourself to it will actually lessen that fear What’s the conversation rate of the activity you’re working on? It’s probably not 100% - Its probably really close to 5% or 10% Everyone is so caught up in themselves that they aren’t paying attention to you You have to expose yourself to discomfort to become stronger and to become anti-fragile Evolutionarily we’re programed to be risk averse - and yet the risks today are so much lower than they were thousands of years ago - and yet we constantly stay within what’s comfortable to us The benefits of being rejected - Confidence, Humility, Seeing the world in a positive light The goal is to reduce the fear of rejection by constantly exposing yourself to it The risk reward of rejection is massively in favor of getting rejected Homework: Start small and get rejected now Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's guest is Alex Grodnik from Wall Street Oasis which easily one of the largest and best sites out there, for anybody looking to have a career on Bay Street or Wall Street. Alex also hosts their podcast which is called “Moving Up”, but what's also really interesting about him is he actually quit his really well-paying job on Wall Street to start his own business, so I thought this would also be a great episode for anybody who's maybe a little dissatisfied with their job, and is considering a career transition. We talk about why he decided to quit, his top advice for somebody looking to earn some money on the side through their own business, how he's learned to handle rejection really well and use that to propel his career, and much more. It was an absolute blast to talk to Alex, the interview went great, and I'm sure you'll like it. In other news, I wanted to tell you about something that's actually pretty time sensitive, and that is that I've been asked to speak again, at the Canadian Financial Summit and I have free tickets for you! This is a fully online personal finance and investing conference, so you don't have to travel anywhere or buy anything. You can just watch the speakers in your pyjamas if you want and stream the talks right from your computer, tablet or phone. This is the biggest conference of its kind in Canada, and has just about every big hitter in the Canadian personal finance space speaking at it. For example, there will be Rob Carrick from the Globe and Mail, Preet Banerjee from CBC's The National, Ellen Roseman from the Toronto Star, Robb Engen from Boomer and Echo, and many more. It's a real honour to be included again in this group of top experts, and for a limited time I have free tickets for you! To get your free tickets, go to buildwealthcanada.ca/tickets, and there you will find the link to the free tickets. Now what they're going to be doing soon, is transitioning to regular paid tickets so if you're even a little bit interested in attending any of the talks, then go to buildwealthcanada.ca/tickets right now, and secure your tickets. I have absolutely no control over how long they'll be letting me give you free access to the tickets so jump on your phone or computer right now to do it so you don't miss out. All they need is your name and email to send you the tickets so it'll literally take you maybe 20 seconds to do. My talk will be on the three pillars that my wife and I used to become financially independent at 32, so I'll be sharing lots of tips and strategies that have worked well for us in the areas of reducing our spending, increasing our income, and how we optimized our investments to pay the lowest fees and tax which let us reach that financial independence number a lot faster. I hope you will join me, and that link again to get your free tickets for a very limited time is buildwealthcanada.ca/tickets. See you there! Kornel  

When was the last time you intentionally tried to get rejected? I was talking with a friend recently and he told me about a concept called “Rejection Therapy” that he was introduced to in business school, which completely changed his relationship to fear and rejection. On today’s episode I invite my friend Alex Grodnik onto the show to talk to me about rejection therapy and how it helped him gain confidence and humility.

At some point in your career, you are going to hear the word, “No.” Rejection is unpleasant at best and can be crushing at its worst. What can we do to build up resilience to rejection, and allow ourselves to continue putting ourselves out there for the sake of our business? My guest today, Alex Grodnik, is going to share how he’s been doing it for the past year as an entrepreneur. Alex is a credible, smart, and academically successful guy. I am excited to share his story with you.    Alex didn’t start out wanting to start and grow his own business. From a very young age, Alex aspired to be an Investment Banker. He started out his career as an Analyst at JP Morgan but quickly found that the big Investment Banking job he always wanted was not for him. Alex then made the brave decision to pivot and look into developing his own business, even though the thought of failure nearly stopped him. Alex’ story will teach us about choosing a different path, and many of Alex’s life choices fall in line with what I want for us and our financial lives.    If anyone is scared to leave the comfortable job to venture out and create something new, you need to hear this interview. Alex has wisdom that will empower and encourage you to make that choice and change your life.    What You Will Learn in This Episode:  •    Alex tells us the story of why he started out in investment banking, and what it was like to work as an analyst.  •    What investment bankers actually do.  •    How Alex made the shift into entrepreneurship through a podcast business.  •    Alex shares what it is like to have a startup company.  •    What the startup community is all about.  •    How to take advantage of “Rejection Therapy” and hearing “No” each day. •    You need to not be afraid to ask for what you want.  •    Be creative in order to turn a “No” into a “Yes.”  

As a Licensed Insolvency Trustee, I'll always advise that you prioritize debt repayment. Why is it important to pay off debt first? So that you are no longer burdened by it. While that is the most prudent course of action, not everyone wants to wait until they are debt free before pursuing their dreams. For example, if you are a recent graduate, you might not want to delay starting a business until you've paid off all your debt. This is exactly the decision that my guest, Alex Grodnik, made. Still owing $75,000 in student loan debt, he left a stable job to follow his passion. But, should you follow in his footsteps? Alex says it depends on the kind of person you are and if you're willing to take risks. More on Alex’s story, and some practical advice, on today’s podcast.

Ever wondered what it's like to work on Wall Street? Then you'll love this episode! I chat with former investment banker Alex Grodnik who worked in the finance industry for almost 10 years, but eventually left to pursue an MBA then become an entrepreneur to live life on his terms. Beyond sharing what life is like as an investment banker, Alex also shares some great tips on how to invest your money and how to be your authentic self.   Long description: I’ve always been curious what it’s like to be an investment banker. I mean, is it really like Wolf of Wall Street, The Big Short or the classic Wall Street? Or is that all dramatized and it’s really just another office job? After talking with Alex Grodnik, host of the Wall Street Oasis podcast, I feel like it might be a mix. Alex worked in investment banking for just under a decade, and left to pursue an MBA and start his own business, a fintech startup in LA called Payclub. But before he transitioned into entrepreneurship, he was an analyst at JPMorgan, then moved onto an advising role at Houlihan Lokey. He pursued a career in investing because he was always interested in investing and finance from an early age. But after working in the industry for several years, he realized it wasn’t something that got him excited anymore. Luckily, he was one of the smart investment bankers and just saved everything he earned (instead of falling victim to lifestyle inflation). Because he lived fairly frugally and saved the majority of his income, he was able to quit, go back to school and have the financial freedom to become an entrepreneur. In this episode we talk about what life is like for an investment banker and what some of his tips for investing are for regular people like us. Here are some of my favourite tips he shared. Buy & Never Sell This isn’t exactly his, tip, it’s one from Warren Buffet, but he shared it and I liked it. Basically, for anyone who is too afraid to invest because they are really risk averse, this is the secret sauce to not losing all your money in the stock market. Buy and hold. As Alex mentioned, you can’t time the market and you’ll probably never buy at the bottom or sell at the top of the market. But, if you buy and hold onto your investments for the longterm, you really can’t go wrong. It’s only when you sell in a panic because you see the markets dipping that you’ll lose money. Don’t Borrow Money to Invest I can’t stand articles out there that encourage people to borrow money to invest with because debt is cheap and it’s a bull market. Hey, if you want to take that chance, go ahead. I hope things work out for you. But for the average investor, the smartest thing to do is invest money you actually have, and invest any excess savings or money that comes your way. You got a tax refund? Awesome, invest it. You got an inheritance? Fabulous, invest it. You got a side hustle and don’t know what to do with that extra cash? Invest it! Answer Truthfully “When Do You Feel Like You Are Your Most Authentic Self?” I’m not sure if I got the wording on that exact, but this is something Alex asked himself when he felt like he wanted to make a change in his career. I loved how he put it, because I did the same thing when I was considering leaving my job. I asked myself when I felt the most proud and confident in myself, and the answer wasn’t sitting in a cubicle being told what to do by my boss. It was when I was doing my own thing with the podcast, blog and speaking that I felt I was being the me I always wanted to be. So, if you’re in a rut, ask yourself the same thing. When do you feel you are your most authentic self? For full episode show notes visit https://jessicamoorhouse.com/156
