Guest preacher Bryan Franklin challenges us to seek answers to the questions, “Who am I?” and “Who is God?” as a foundation for our pursuit of racial justice and reconciliation. Bryan Franklin is a Christian, husband, and, as of 10 weeks ago, a father. Bryan originally grew up just outside of Denver, Co. He is Biracial and identifies as both black and white. Bryan has a deep belief that Jesus Christ is our only hope for reconciliation and justice and that the church in its witness to Christ is in a place to demonstrate that hope, but only if we are willing to take a hard look at our theology and practices, and lament, confess, and repent of white supremacy. He currently serves as a Minister at The District Church and is pursuing a Master’s degree at Wesley Theological Seminary. Bryan is happily married to Candace Maloney Franklin, whom he credits for keeping him sane, reminding him of what’s important in life, and showing him what love truly is.

Today on Trend Following Radio Michael Covel interviews Michael Ellsberg. Michael is an American author, blogger and public speaker. Michael Covel and Michael Ellsberg met for the first time in Napa Valley at a Tim Ferris conference. Today they talk about Michael’s newest work, “The Last Safe Investment: Spending Now to Increase Your True Wealth Forever.” The book is about making money, being an entrepreneur, and giving insights that can applied today.The two start off talking about entrepreneurism and dive deep into how people think about money. Michael, and his co-author Bryan Franklin, wanted to completely rewrite the script for how people think about making and spending money. Michael says the bottom line is to try and make your life as awesome as possible in every aspect. Most people want money for one reason or another. He has found that the three most popular reasons people want money is: happiness, freedom, and security. Michael always wanted to be a writer growing up. He used his savings to help pay his way to become a writer. Most save their money and figure that what they love can come later when they have enough saved up. The question is, “When do you want to start your passion?” When you retire? Or do you want to invest in those things you are passionate about now?Michael E. then goes into how important the presence of meaningful friends are, otherwise known as your “tribe.” He says that it is important to travel and figure out where you want to settle down and live. When you nail that down you can start investing in learning about the place, people that live there and invest your time in making friends. Traveling and learning where you want to settle down has a lot to do with gaining critical self knowledge which, according to Michael E., is the greatest investment a person could make. When you are self aware you get far more happiness out of the money and time you invest in things. You aren’t wasting as much time and money experimenting, trying to figure out what you like.Next, Michael E. answers the question, “What is the difference between a market skill and a super skill?” A market skill is any skill that you can sell directly, such as plumbing or marketing. Super skills are skills that can be taken across any job platform and are essential in any marketplace regardless of economic circumstances. Michael E. categorizes them into four categories: interpersonal, creative, technical and physical super skills. Different skills have different levels of entry. Public speaking is one super skill that they go into depth about. Michael E. says that if you learn how to speak publicly even semi well, you will be far above the rest of your competition.One of the last topics discussed are the areas in your life that create happiness. Relationships, health and money are the three big contributors to happiness. Each time you spend money you should look at how that purchase will impact every area in your life. If you go to buy a meal you should look at how that will affect your health and if that bleeds into happiness in your relationships. Michael has found that all of these things are interconnected. When you look at things as a whole, spending money can be looked at as investing rather than spending frivolously. In this episode of Trend Following Radio: Super skill vs. Market skill Systemic spending Cultivating meaningful relationships Thinking three dimensional Creating happiness in your life

In this week's episode of BARBELL BUSINESS, we interview Bryan Franklin. Bryan is Mike's business coach, a co-author of "The Last Safe Investment," and a top Silicon Valley coach for first-time CEOs who has helped 7 of his clients grow their start-ups past the $1 Billion mark. We'll cover several topics in their new book "The Last Safe Investment," once of them being: Myth:  If you save for decades and invest in 401(k)s, IRAs, and a home, these investments will grow steadily, allowing twenty to thirty years of secure, peaceful retirement. Reality:  Though this might have been true at some point in the last century, it is not true any longer. If you want to get ahead and enjoy a life of prosperity, you must invest in the last safe investment: yourself, and your own skills, value to others, relationships, and overall happiness.
