Imagine having an invisible team of experts, researchers, marketers, and creatives working 24/7 to build your business… Without adding a single employee.That's exactly what we just did with my new friend and client, Nathaniel Ely, during a Superpower Accelerator three-day intensive.Nathaniel flew in to work with me personally, and in three days, we created everything he needed to launch a $1 Billion business opportunity around the Augusta Rule – a little-known tax strategy that can put tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars back in the pockets of business owners every year.Using Ai as a true team member, we built an entire brand from scratch:A full 50+ slide masterclassA pitch deck and marketing funnelThree book draftsVideo sales lettersChannel marketing campaignsSizzle reelsAutomated sales workflowsAnd dozens of other revenue-driving assetsThe best part? We didn't just "talk" about ideas – we built them in real-time, workshop-style, using agentic Ai tools that did the work of a 5-person team.If you want to see how Ai can build your brand, amplify your revenue, and compress six months of work into three days, you're going to love this episode.KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS:
What if you could completely transform your business – your brand, messaging, positioning, even your content – using Ai in just THREE DAYS?Sound impossible? Well, that's exactly what we accomplished with Jonathan Friedman, founder of the architectural studio Liminal. Jonathan was stuck competing in a crowded market until we used Ai to redefine his entire business from the ground up.In this episode, Jonathan joins me to break down exactly how we did it, step-by-step. You'll hear how we turned Ai into our “invisible team member,” speeding up research, creative ideation, content creation, and marketing strategy at incredible speeds. We crafted a 250-page book, a TED Talk, multiple videos, 50 elevator pitches, and generated a list of over 300 targeted channel marketing partners – all in just 72 hours.Bottom line? Jonathan is now positioned to double his revenue goals this year. The best part? We had a blast doing it!Ready to make Ai your new best team member? Then, let's get started.KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS:
Ever feel like you're drowning in admin or mundane tasks, knowing you could be focusing on your bigger future? Dan Sullivan and I have been there.In this episode of Capability Amplifier, we dive headfirst into the idea of adding Ai to your team – a powerful new “employee” that can handle everything from research to video storytelling.But the twist? As Dan and I unpack the nuts and bolts of using Ai tools, we realize something bigger...Ai can serve as a mirror, helping you reclaim (and reinvent) your PAST so you can power up your FUTURE. If you've been worried that technology will erase who you really are, think again. This might just be your ultimate “Future-Self Amplifier.”KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYSInstant “MBA-Level” Research on DemandUsing tools like OpenAI's Operator, Mike can instruct a “digital assistant” to log into Amazon, gather Dan's entire book catalog, reviews, and more—in minutes. This replaces days of grunt work and eliminates procrastination.Better, Faster First DraftsBy feeding AI your raw ideas, or even transcripts of past content, you can get a cohesive outline or polished script in seconds. Your human team will love you for showing up with clarity and focus.Turning Reflection into a SuperpowerDan views AI as a feedback machine that reminds you of your best stories and greatest strengths. Think of it as a living, dynamic mirror that knows your achievements—empowering you to leverage them now.How AI Frees Your Mind (Not Replaces It)Rather than being “less busy,” Mike uses AI to become more effective. No more friction or mental blocks—just hyper-fast iteration. That kind of momentum can transform your entrepreneurial life.Building Your Future Self from Your PastDan's big revelation: “The more you reuse the best parts of your past, the more you know about your future.” AI accelerates that discovery by surfacing hidden strengths and forgotten wins so you can deploy them now.Synthetic StorytellingTools like Invideo can create fully AI-generated videos—characters, voiceovers, animations. This is ideal for first-draft narratives, brand stories, and even personal “mini-documentaries.” You'll never look at content creation the same way again.Therapy…or a Fast-Track to Knowing Yourself?“Knowing how to be who you actually are” can eclipse years of therapy. By reconstructing your journey—failures, comebacks, and big wins—you craft a narrative that not only sells your offer but also reaffirms who you truly are.TIME STAMPS[00:00:00] AI as a New Team Member Mike explains how AI tools crush procrastination and free him to focus on creative (and profitable) work.[00:01:35] Seeing Your Future Through Your Past Dan observes how AI helps entrepreneurs “mine” their personal histories for gold, ultimately boosting confidence.[00:03:46] Game-Changing Tools A live demonstration of OpenAI's Operator, pulling reviews and descriptions of Dan's books automatically into a Google Doc.[00:08:00] Reinventing Marketing & Research Mike shares how AI is like having an on-demand MBA researcher—immediate, iterative, and personalized.[00:18:06] Why Tech Can't Match Human Complexity Dan reveals his new book idea: “Technology Is Trying Hard to Keep Up”—an argument about the unmatched power of human consciousness.[00:30:10] Synthetic Videos & Brand Story Mike showcases Invideo, an AI tool that generates entire mini-documentaries—voiceovers, characters, and all—from just a script.[00:40:38] Your Past as Your Biggest Asset Dan dives into how collecting your “best-of” stories—and weaving them into marketing—can be more powerful than therapy.[00:50:04] The Future-Self Amplifier A final note on how combining your own internal breakthroughs with AI's external capabilities is the real formula for 10x progress.If you're ready to harness cutting-edge Ai (without losing your humanity or your personal story), this episode is your roadmap.

Have you ever thought about tariffs as a "game-changer" rather than just a “political hot button”? Did you know Japan is quietly investing $1 trillion in U.S. manufacturing—especially in southern and southwestern states? That's right. In this new episode, Dan Sullivan and I dive deep into how tariffs, strategic factory moves, and AI-driven audits may soon reduce our taxes (yes, you read that right) while fueling unprecedented economic growth in America.If that sounds like a Michael Bay movie script, you're not far off—except this is playing out in real life, right now. We talk about Trump's “reciprocal tariffs,” Elon Musk's big-government audit with AI, and why countries like Japan are betting big on producing goods inside the U.S., instead of overseas. If you love big-picture, high-stakes drama with real entrepreneurial takeaways, you'll want to tune in.KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYSTariffs Are Making a ComebackAfter WWII, the U.S. temporarily abandoned tariffs to rebuild other nations and contain the Soviet threat. Now that era is over, and “reciprocal tariffs” are in play—if you tax American goods, we'll tax yours. Or you can just move your factories to the U.S.Japan's $1 Trillion Bet on American ManufacturingFacing a shrinking workforce, Japan decided 30 years ago to build factories where they sell goods. Enter the U.S. south and southwest—lower labor costs, fewer unions, and easier access to American consumers.Moving the U.S. Government to “Warp Speed”Dan and I discuss Trump's possible plan to use tariffs to fund government operations (hello, “External Revenue Service!”) while simultaneously lowering domestic taxes. If that works, it could trigger an economic boom.AI Audits: Elon Musk's Government OverhaulImagine real-time accounting for every federal check ever cut. That's what happens when you unleash advanced AI to track spending—stopping fraud and inefficiency in its tracks. Lower costs, better governance, fewer excuses.It's Not Just About PoliticsThe reason these moves are so urgent? The U.S. economy is its greatest weapon and negotiation tool. If the numbers line up, say goodbye to bloated budgets and hello to rapid innovation.The Western Hemisphere Is the New Growth EnginePeter Zeihan's research suggests that power is shifting west. Europe's star may be fading, and the big action will be in North and South America—partly because the U.S. can pressure countries with economic, rather than military, force.What It Means for Entrepreneurs (and You)If America becomes the hottest manufacturing hub again, it spells massive opportunity: new factories, high-value jobs, and more disposable income at home. Plus, if government spending shrinks, taxes may drop—fueling startups, scale-ups, and everything in-between.TIME STAMPS[00:00:00] Tariffs 101 Dan explains how tariffs helped the U.S. become #1 by 1900, and why after WWII we artificially dropped them to contain the Soviet Union.[00:03:10] Japan Moves In The backstory behind Japan's multi-decade strategy: build factories in America to sidestep both tariffs and a shrinking domestic workforce.[00:10:44] Economic vs. Military Power Mike and Dan explore how the real “weapon” now is the U.S. economy—not battleships. This is reshaping alliances, trade, and even the future of space exploration.[00:14:26] Union vs. Non-Union States Why overseas giants choose red states over blue to minimize union costs—and how that might transform American politics.[00:24:19] Elon Musk & Government AI Trump taps Musk to audit the entire U.S. government using advanced AI. The potential outcome? $3 trillion “lost” dollars suddenly reappear, possibly replacing the income tax with tariffs.[00:32:57] Europe's Diminishing Relevance Dan argues that Europe has become more of a “historic Disney World” than an innovative force, lacking the cultural spark of earlier centuries.[00:41:00] The Future Is Made in the USA Why more nations, including the UK, India, and South Korea, may follow Japan's lead—bringing factories stateside to dodge tariffs and be closer to American consumers.If you love big ideas and epic plot twists, this episode is basically Netflix's next political thriller—except it's happening in real life. Join Dan and me for a mind-bending conversation on how the world economy could flip in the next few years, and what you can do to position yourself and your business for massive opportunity.Additional ResourcesDownload your FREE digital and/or audio version of my bestselling book, “Your Next Act!”Book your $1k Cup of Coffee with me (Mike) here.

Ever wonder how simply eating steak (yes, just steak) could boost your energy, reduce inflammation, and strip off stubborn weight you've carried for years? That's exactly what Dan Sullivan and I are discussing in this special mini-episode on the Carnivore Diet.We're talking “all meat, all the time,” how we navigate restaurants and travel, the surprising drop in food cravings, and the best ways to monitor your health so you know exactly what's happening in your body. Plus, I'll share why I originally decided to go carnivore after battling colorectal cancer—and how it helped clear my IBS issues for good.If you're curious about a diet that strips away the nonsense and might radically improve your blood markers, this is a must-listen. Remember, we're not doctors—just two guys seeing remarkable results.KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYSCravings DisappearDan noticed that while his meal choices weren't necessarily the problem, the real weight culprit was all the snacks between meals. Carnivore crushed those cravings almost instantly.Rapid Weight Loss & Inflammation ReductionDan went from 203 to 183 in about six months, and I dropped from 185–190 down to 167 in ten months. Bonus: visible abs, less puffy face, more muscle definition.Energy & Clarity SkyrocketSurprise: no “meal crashes,” no nap cravings. My mental acuity soared. Dan's focus remains sharp and consistent, all day.An “Elimination Diet” for Gut HealthI used carnivore to address ongoing IBS issues post-cancer. By cutting out everything but meat, I zeroed in on triggers, which turned out to be a game-changer for my digestion.A Simple Routine: Steak & WaterMy daily go-to is a New York strip in the morning, possibly another at lunchtime, and sometimes a final cut later in the day—salt, pepper, maybe a little butter. Dan just logs his weight daily and keeps it simple.Travel Hacks & Blood MonitoringIt's surprisingly easy on the road (hello, Brazilian steakhouses!). We both get regular lab work and check with our docs. Surprisingly, many markers (including cholesterol) improve.Question the Old Food PyramidConventional food guidelines? Often the result of corporate interests. Always do your own research, test with labs, and trust how you feel above all else.TIME STAMPS[00:00:00] The Carnivore Backstory: Dan's 6-month journey, losing 20+ pounds, and the role Dean Jackson & JJ Virgin played in getting him started.[00:02:57] Cutting Out Cravings: Realizing the biggest weight culprit was snacking between meals, and how pure protein intake solved it.[00:05:10] Mike's 10-Month Experiment: My IBS, post-cancer rationale for going carnivore and how my steady “steak & water” routine obliterated my gut issues.[00:06:40] Practical Travel Tips: How to manage flights, hotels, and social dinners without falling off the carnivore wagon (butter, grills, and friendly hosts).[00:09:37] Bloodwork & Energy Levels: Dan's regular labs look great, I've seen improved cholesterol and mental stamina. Turns out no naps required.[00:10:38] That Food Pyramid Myth: Why government-backed dietary guidelines can be questionable—and why we rely on data from continuous glucose monitors and quarterly blood panels.If you've ever struggled with stubborn weight, nagging gut issues, or endless sugar cravings, the Carnivore Diet might be worth a closer look. Do your homework, talk to a professional, then see how you feel when you sizzle up that next steak.Additional ResourcesDownload your FREE digital and/or audio version of my bestselling book, “Your Next Act!”Book your $1k Cup of Coffee with me (Mike) here.

You've probably heard me talk about the “hub-and-spoke” model. Where the leader sits in the middle, doing all the heavy lifting and worrying that if they let go of any task, the whole machine breaks. I've lived it. It's exhausting. But my friend Keith Ferrazzi—legendary connector, best-selling author (Never Eat Alone, Leading Without Authority), and CEO whisperer—has a game-changing approach to fix this once and for all.In our latest Capability Amplifier conversation, Keith reveals the simple but powerful shifts that can transform any team from conflict-avoidant and siloed into a culture of true candor, co-elevation, and monthly “sprints” that deliver real results.If you've ever felt like you're juggling a thousand balls, terrified that even one fumble means disaster, this episode is for you. Trust me: learning to “expect more from your team” isn't just wishful thinking. It's the key to freedom, growth, and a whole new level of performance.KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYSFrom Conflict Avoidance to Radical CandorMost teams tiptoe around tough feedback, creating tension and stifling creativity. Keith's framework calls for mandated “stress testing” sessions where teammates challenge and support each other—because refusing to let each other fail is the highest form of respect.The End of Hub-and-Spoke LeadershipLeaders often feel trapped in the center, being the sole accountability hammer. Keith's model shifts the burden from “the boss” to “the team,” freeing leaders to innovate, strategize, or even launch a new venture.Monthly Sprints & TransparencyKeith's secret sauce: each team member outlines (1) what they achieved, (2) where they're struggling, and (3) what the next sprint looks like. Then everyone else digs in to offer fresh ideas, challenges, and collaboration. The result? Friction dissolves, and real breakthroughs happen on schedule.Embrace the Challenge CultureFeedback is no longer top-down. It's peer-to-peer and is given out of genuine commitment to each other's success. When you institutionalize candid advice—and do it with heart—you'll see your organization leap from “meh” to unstoppable.The “Co-Elevation” MindsetKeith coined the term “co-elevation” to describe teams that won't let anyone sink. This goes beyond teamwork. It's about building an environment where people actively lift each other up. Think radical accountability meets radical empathy.Super-Users for Change (Especially with AI)Instead of forcing top-down training, identify (or create) “black belts” or champions who love new tech, like AI or project management tools. Let them spread the fire from within, and watch adoption skyrocket.Beyond Connections – Keith's CommunityIf you loved Never Eat Alone, Keith's got a new community that teaches entrepreneurs, salespeople, and anyone seeking deeper relationships how to integrate authentic connection into all areas of business and life.TIME STAMPS[00:00:00] High-Performing Shifts: Keith introduces the 10 critical shifts for building a high-performing team, starting with moving from conflict avoidance to candor.[00:01:16] “Never Lead Alone”: Why Keith's new book is all about real team success (not just individual heroics) and how it transforms the workplace.[00:02:21] From Blue-Collar Beginnings: Keith shares his origin story—how one relationship at a golf course (showing up 30 minutes early!) changed his life trajectory.[00:05:36] Candor and Vulnerability: Why the bravest thing a leader can do is create an environment where people speak the truth—even when it hurts.[00:07:59] Teams Owning Each Other's Success: How to shift from hierarchical “hub-and-spoke” management to true teamship, and the monthly “stress test” method that sets a new culture.[00:14:03] Agile Sprints & Accountability: The exact practice Keith recommends: 30-day cycles, open sharing of wins, struggles, and next moves, plus peer challenge.[00:20:18] The AI Integration Example: Turning friction points into opportunities by creating “super-users” who evangelize adoption from the inside, not via top-down mandates.[00:26:55] Open 360° & Coaching Culture: Turning performance reviews into empowering group sessions, where every individual gets supportive critique from the entire team.[00:34:41] Beyond Connections Program: Keith's return to his relationship-building roots—why “Never Eat Alone” fans will find a new home in this eight-week immersion.[00:38:29] Expect More, Achieve More: Keith's biggest revelation: leaders who ask for more from their teams create not just better results, but a culture of freedom and genuine growth for everyone.If you're ready to let go of the “hub-and-spoke” hamster wheel, build an unstoppable culture of accountability and authenticity, and still have a life…Then DO NOT MISS Keith's new book, Never Lead Alone – you can get it here on Amazon right now.

There are three major “currents” shaping our world in 2025 and beyond:The MAGA movement as an American cultural resetThe End of Globalization and why “Made in the USA” (plus Mexico, Colombia, and the rest of the Western Hemisphere) is the new frontierAI Everywhere—how it's transforming the workforce, but maybe not in the ways you've been soldThis episode is a total eye-opener if you're an entrepreneur, intrapreneur, or just someone who wants to stay ahead of the curve. We talk about how the real opportunities might not be coming out of Ivy League universities, but from trade schools, welding shops, and brand-new AI-augmented careers. If you want to see the forces that will reshape your business and life, this is the conversation you do not want to miss.KEY TAKEAWAYSMAGA as a Cultural (Not Just Political) ShiftMAGA isn't about party lines; it's an entire value system favoring hard work, “blue-collar billionaires,” and a distrust of elite arrogance.Local manufacturing, working with your hands, and skilled trades are becoming the new American status symbols.The End of Globalization and the Rise of the Western HemisphereThe old global trade routes and supply chains are breaking apart—COVID disruptions and new tariffs blew them up for good.The U.S., Mexico, and South America are stepping up to manufacture and trade, keeping the skill sets (and money) closer to home.Universities will see competition from specialized trade programs and community colleges as we seek practical, high-paying skills.The Quiet AI Revolution—But Not the Way You ThinkDespite the trillion-dollar investments, AI breakthroughs aren't quite matching the hype on corporate balance sheets.The real power of AI is happening in everyday life—think personal tutoring, massive content digestion, accelerating product creation, and localizing tasks that used to require big teams.AI is an enhancer, not a human replacement. The winners are those who master AI to add value—faster, better, and more affordably than ever.Broadcast Media vs. Podcast DominanceTraditional, scripted media is losing credibility and reach. Meanwhile, long-form podcasts let people dive deep and truly connect.Trust is built by spending time, not pushing sound bites. Listeners want 7+ hours of authentic conversation before they buy in.Why “Blue-Collar Billionaires” Might Shape The FutureEntrepreneurs like Donald Trump changed the game: he's arguably the first truly entrepreneurial president since George Washington.Love him or hate him, he tapped into a cultural wave that values practical work, personal freedom, and entrepreneurial grit.TIME STAMPS[00:00] MAGA as the New Dominant CultureDan kicks off with why MAGA represents far more than a political slogan—he predicts it's the wave for the next 50 years.[02:00] Winds, Waves & CurrentsWe discuss Dan's analogy of focusing on deeper “currents” (mega-trends) vs. surface-level “news.”[03:14] The Three Big Currents: MAGA, AI & End of GlobalizationDan maps out how these trends intersect and why you need to pay attention.[06:52] Shift to Skilled Trades & ApprenticeshipsFrom welding to HVAC—why college may not be the guaranteed golden ticket anymore.[10:35] The Collapse of Old MediaPodcasts and long-form content are in; top-down “scripted” broadcasts are out. Trust is earned by time, not by titles.[19:40] Why the U.S. is Coming HomeThe breakdown of global trade and how manufacturing back in America changes everything.[24:55] AI Reality CheckTrillion-dollar investments, yes—but where's the killer app? We talk about what's actually working and where the real opportunities lie.[32:18] New Paths to Education & ProsperityPersonal AI tutors, community college partnerships, trade certs—welcome to the new learning ecosystem.[45:52] Solving the Energy ConundrumAI demands tons of power. Is portable nuclear the next big push?

Your audience is an incredibly powerful creative team compounding wisdom, platform, and unique ideas.In this episode, Dan Sullivan and I break down how entrepreneurs can use their audience as an integral part of the creative and innovation process—not just passive consumers. There is a mental universe that drives entrepreneurs toward long-term, sustainable success. Regardless of your business type or industry, it's imperative you own your IP, leverage Ai and plan to scale your creativity.KEY TAKEAWAYSYour Audience is a Creative PartnerEntrepreneurs often think they create in isolation, but the audience plays a vital role in refining and evolving ideas.By engaging them in the process, you increase confidence, iterate faster, and create more value.Think of your customers as 50% of the creative process—they validate, enhance, and inspire new products.The Power of CompoundingJust like Warren Buffett's investing strategy, the most successful entrepreneurs compound their intellectual property over time.Instead of constantly starting over, layer on existing knowledge, refine it, and repackage it for greater value.This approach has fueled Dan's 50-year career in coaching and my own journey in AI, automation, and publishing.Theater vs. Corporation MindsetTreat your business like a theater company, not a bureaucracy.Keep a core team together as long as possible and focus on performance, improvisation, and collaboration.Improvisation leads to creative breakthroughs—many of the greatest hits in music, film, and business came from spontaneous innovation.Ai as an Exponential AmplifierAi is the ultimate creativity multiplier. It removes friction and reduces the energy required to execute ideas.With the right Ai-driven processes, entrepreneurs can automate, capture, and distribute intellectual property faster than ever.Ai doesn't replace humans—it enhances strategic thinking and removes bottlenecks.Owning Your Intellectual PropertyWho owns what you create? This is THE question every entrepreneur must ask.The U.S. Constitution is the greatest platform for intellectual property protection, enabling the biggest explosion of creativity in history.In today's digital world, publishing and distribution are still valuable, but owning your IP gives you long-term leverage.Timestamps[00:00] - Introduction: The power of an audience-driven creative process.[01:56] - The Strategic Coach method: No homework, real-time collaboration with experts and creative problem solvers make for the best, innovative, and profit generating solutions.[04:05] - The compounding power of strengths: Why you must always strengthen your strengths.[06:50] - The Triple Play Framework: The ultimate value multiplier for entrepreneurs.[10:40] - Innovation through Ai: How automation eliminates friction and speeds up execution.[18:47] - Owning vs. Licensing: Why publishing, distribution, and IP ownership are critical.[29:13] - The Power of Property: How the U.S. Constitution created the greatest intellectual capital explosion.[40:44] - What makes creativity valuable?

Something alarming is happening.1 in 6 young men today is suffering from depression. Many feel lost, disconnected, and without a compelling future. And if we look closer, there's a pattern:Fewer male role models.A lack of purpose, mentorship, and belonging.The disappearance of traditional rites of passage into adulthood.When young men don't find healthy teams and communities around them, they form destructive gangs—online and in real life. Our young men are in crisis. And as a dad with a son, this is scary. After an eye-opening conversation with Dan Sullivan, I had a massive aha moment—a few game-changing insights that can help you break free, level up, and create a future that excites you and hopefully a young man you know.KEY INSIGHTSThe Societal Impact of Male Congregation: Dan Sullivan argues that the way young men come together is fundamental to a society's prosperity and creativity. Encouraging the formation of teams that benefit the public is essential, while failure to do so can lead to the rise of gangs.Addressing Status Frustration: Mike Koenigs references Albert Cohen's study of delinquent subcultures, noting that gangs often emerge from status frustration among working-class youth. The solution lies in channeling collective action and shared ideals into positive team-building activities.The Significance of a Compelling Future: A major theme is the lack of a compelling future for many young men, which contributes to feelings of being lost and can even lead to homelessness. Combating Dopamine Addiction and Human Avoidance: There is a growing problem of dopamine addiction to technology, easy sex, and pornography, which leads to social isolation and the rise of "incel" culture. Real-world interactions and teamwork can combat these negative trends.The Importance of Teamwork and Unique Abilities: Teamwork and individual capabilities are paramount in today's entrepreneurial landscape. Recognize and appreciate the unique abilities of each team member. Appreciating Gender Differences in Teams: Dan Sullivan notes that men and women have different biological and social dynamics, but the most successful entrepreneurs are those who can effectively collaborate with the opposite gender. Experiential Education: Dan Sullivan advocates for a different kind of educational system where you study your own experience and turn it into lessons.The American Advantage: The American system is flexible, which allows individuals to thrive and create their own opportunities. Leadership and Mentorship: Strong leadership and mentorship is imperative. Dan notes that his company is run by a woman and his wife, Babs, who oversees the operations, while he focuses on the creative aspects.TIME STAMPS[00:01:48] The nature of a society is greatly affected by how young men congregate; a prosperous society ensures young men congregate in teams beneficial to the public, otherwise they may form gangs.[00:03:42] Some believe Caitlin Clark's success in women's basketball is attributed to her early experience playing on boys' teams, learning a different, more competitive style of play.[[00:07:50] Delinquent subcultures and gangs form as a response to status frustration, but collective action can be channeled into positive team building.[00:08:53] A lack of a compelling future frustrates young men, contributing to homelessness.[00:15:14] The U.S. Army today is a better, all-volunteer army with a demographic of people slightly above average in education and background. Social structures, institutions, economic opportunities, social mobility, positive outlets, mentorship, collective action, and group identity help propel men forward. [00:19:26] Dopamine addiction to phones, easy sex, and porn, coupled with human avoidance, is creating an epidemic-level incel culture among young men.[00:20:34] Children today lack the sense of usefulness and role in something bigger that farm kids had.[00:25:11] Role models and knowing what adulthood looks like are important, and gaming has picked up some of the slack in this area.[00:28:19] Women in Strategic Coach workshops are "lucky exceptions" because they've learned how men operate.[00:32:11] Entrepreneurs have early personal confidence and are willing to stick with their path even if it costs them socially.Some entrepreneurs always had a singularity of purpose and were more interested in their own pursuits than what others were doing.[00:39:10] A different kind of educational system is needed where one studies their own experience and turns it into lessons.[00:41:12] Men naturally form teams, while women have cliques and are told to be pleasing to men. Male entrepreneurs who work well with women and vice versa are way ahead.[00:49:13] It is possible to create great teamwork regardless of team members due to entrepreneurism and technology. Appreciate differences, but congregate around unique abilities; life is bigger than just you, and you can contribute to big things as part of a team.Additional ResourcesDownload your FREE digital and/or audio version of my bestselling book, “Your Next Act!”SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS
I've been doing podcasts since the early 2000s - before it was mainstream and way before it was easy. I remember when you needed a "hack" just to get these audio files onto your iPod. (Remember those things?) It's wild to think about how far it's come. Back then, people thought it was a giant waste of time. Now, podcasting is arguably the most powerful, dominant form of media of our time.Here's why: Podcasts are a dominant media platform because they are intimate and are not regulated. Think about how FDR used the radio to connect with people, and how JFK mastered television. Now, it's all about podcasts, which are like audiobooks, allowing real, long-form connection. This intimate and direct access, with no gatekeepers, makes podcasts incredibly powerful.The Bill of Rights is the foundation of our entrepreneurial economy. The Bill of Rights is not just some old document, it's what enables us to innovate and own our creations, protecting individuals from government overreach. The first 10 amendments are the basis for a purely entrepreneurial country.Adaptability to new communication methods is key to success. From radio to TV to social media and now podcasts, we've seen how figures like Roosevelt, JFK, Obama, and Trump have used new media to their advantage, and how those who fail to adapt are left behind.QUICK KEY TAKEAWAYS[0:00:17]: Over the past 20 years, podcasting has risen to become a dominant and accessible form of media, with no barriers to entry, creating a level playing field for content creators.[0:00:39]: The Bill of Rights is foundational for entrepreneurial opportunities in the United States and the basis for freedom of speech, which is directly tied to podcasting.[0:01:44]: Various media, including radio, television, cable, and social media, have amplified the influence of powerful figures throughout history, success often hinged on how well they were managed. [0:26:31]: Roosevelt used radio for his Fireside Chats, Kennedy mastered his presence on television, Obama utilized social media, specifically Facebook, and Trump used Twitter and podcasts to sway and affect public opinion. Conversely, presidents like Nixon failed to adapt. It's possible Donald Trump's first election was significantly influenced by his podcast placements. He used "outrage" and "fake news" tactics to undermine mainstream media.[0:45:16]: The lack of centralized control in podcasting is a key advantage, allowing for more freedom of expression and content creation. Podcasts are personal and intimate, and as a result, they can make a huge impact.

Let's cut to the chase - managing teams and projects can be a huge time suck for results-driven quick-starts like you and me. It just isn't efficient. I was talking to Dan Sullivan about this and he shared The 4x4 Method that has the power to move your team beyond traditional management and empower them to take ownership of their roles. With this tool, you can move away from top-down management and create a culture where everyone is a leader and contributor. The 4x4 Method has four performance metrics with four participation metrics: Performance: How are you showing up? Are you alert, curious, responsive, and resourceful? It's about being proactive, not just going through the motionsResults: How are you making things faster, easier, cheaper, and bigger? This is all about innovation and efficiency. Being a Hero: How are you going above and beyond to create real value for the company? Think about how you can make a significant impactWhat Drives Me Crazy: This is the "what not to do" list. It's about avoiding things like falling behind, being isolated, and just following orders without any initiative4x4 participation is voluntary, but non-participation will be noticedComplete an updated 4x4 every quarter4x4s are posted online for full transparency$250 incentive each quarter ($1000/year) for those who complete the 4x4 each quarter KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:18] I used AI to create an updated incentive program that's based on the 4x4 framework Dan has been using for over 10 years in Strategic Coach[00:01:32] The 4x4 Framework is designed to get your team thinking about their roles in a whole new way.[00:04:39] Invite people to participate in the 4x4 process voluntarily, but non-participation is going to be noticed. This is all about creating ownership. The whole company should do this every quarter. It's not a one-off thing. It's about how they will perform, show up, and the results they'll achieve. We're talking about being alert, curious, responsive, resourceful. And the results are faster, easier, cheaper, and bigger.[00:07:55] Dan shares how he used the 4x4 with Gord Vickman when he first came on board. He got a page outlining how he could be a "hero", and what would drive Dan crazy. He says that one of the things that would drive him crazy is when someone is isolated and disconnected. You have to be specific with your expectations.[00:08:54] Gord comes on to talk about his experience with the 4x4, and he says it felt like getting the answers to the exam. The 4x4 gave him a clear idea of what was expected, which is more than a typical job description.[00:11:43] The 4x4 is broken into four sections:Performance: How you show up – alert, curious, responsive, resourceful.Results: Faster, easier, cheaper, bigger.Being a hero: This is open for interpretation, but it's about creating value.What drives me crazy: Specific things to avoid.[00:12:57] I used Ai to generate 4x4s for my team and then create an updated incentive program for them. I had a dialogue with it on exactly what kind of new incentive program we could have. Ai can save you days of work, but you need a framework like the 4x4 to make the psychology accurate.[00:16:46] Dan's incentive strategy for 2025 offers team members $250/quarter for filling out their 4x4s and posting them online. It's about creating a company-wide focus, transparency, accountability, and focus. It helps team members see what works.[00:19:22] SNEAK PEAK: I demonstrate how to use Ai with forms – I take a quick picture, drop it into ChatGPT, and have ChatGPT fill it out. (This saves HOURS.) [00:21:40] Dan explains that by making the 4x4s public, people will naturally see who is being specific and measurable in their goals. It's a way of learning without having a class, that will help team members become more specific and practical.[00:23:14] The 4x4 process will help you build a self-managing company because self-managing companies are built from self-managing individuals.[00:23:55] The fourth quadrant (what drives you crazy) is not something to be feared. It's like a tiger cage - you have to try hard to get yourself in there.[00:34:42] The 4x4 process helps us move towards the mindset of "How can I be a hero to the customer and the company?” The "hero" objectives are fun, they allow you to make guesses and bets about what could work.[00:41:18] The goal is for this to be a process where the players will show up to play and give people who've never been heard from a chance to develop themselves. Surprising benefits include a shift in the culture and mindsets. This 4x4 system is a game-changer for building self-managing teams that are accountable and produce real results.Want to join me for a Cup of Coffee at my Digital Cafe?

In 1987, Dan set a goal to live until he was 156. That was ambitious then, but it might not be that ambitious now. Today, we have access to over 750,000 biomarkers that give us real information about what is happening inside our bodies. But the sad truth is, our current medical system is 30 years behind what is actually available - like these biomarker tests.It's up to you to go get it and take control over your health. Dan and I recently shared a 10 minute podcast on how the carnivore diet has helped us both make a 180 in our personal health. We have dropped unnecessary weight, sure, but more importantly, we feel better, have more energy, and our blood tests PROVE WE ARE HEALTHIER. The tools are available, and taking action could save your life, improve your quality of life, and help you live longer. Here are THREE key insights Dan shares about what he has done to improve his health and live longer. You can do this, too. Take Personal Responsibility For Your Health: Your “An ambitious mindset" fueled by your personal sense of purpose and your clear reason to live longer and live better is essential. Take advantage of the most advanced health solutions and recognize that the system is inside of you, not the other way around. Use Advanced Testing & Ai for Personalized Health Strategies: Comprehensive, regular testing, enhanced by artificial intelligence, will help you get deep insights into your unique health profile. BE PROACTIVE! Move beyond the limitations of traditional, reactive medicine—which is often 30 years behind—and get the personalized strategies for diet, supplementation and other health protocols YOU NEED.Find Regenerative Medical Solutions & Recognize the "1% Problem" for Women: Innovative solutions in regenerative medicine, like plasma exchange that can cleanse 98% of your blood, are game changers for your overall health. But even with cutting edge technology like this, the medical and medical research industry overlook women's health. They only receive about 1% of research dollars. Don't let this hold you back. Be assertive. Do your research and get the care you need and deserve. TIME STAMPS [0:05:58] Test with Ai: The biggest breakthrough in the last 35 years has been in testing, especially with the advancements in artificial intelligence. This isn't just about routine check-ups; it's about leveraging cutting-edge tech to deeply understand your health metrics and proactively manage your well-being. [0:11:37] Women's Health is Overlooked: 1% of research funding goes to women's health. Women face unique health challenges often ignored by the medical industry, but women still have greater longevity because they have stronger social support systems. [0:22:53] 'Why' Do You Want To Live Longer?: What's your reason? Existing isn't enough (for most of us); having a clear purpose will fuel your ambition and drive you to make healthier choices.[0:27:24] The "More Ambitious" Mindset: Dan's personal philosophy is that his "only ambition is to be more ambitious." He explains that he is more ambitious at 80 than he was at 50, and that mindset drives his health, relationships, and business. Redefine your limits. [0:31:13] The Carnivore Diet: The carnivore diet changed how we felt and our blood results prove it was a good choice. We did a podcast on this. Check it out. [0:36:59] Regenerative Medicine: Regenerative medicine is at the center of the US economy, and the payoff is that "everybody wants" to experience the health and longevity benefits. This means - OPPORTUNITY. [0:45:00] Big Problems with “Traditional Systems”: Traditional systems, especially education and health, often fail to keep up with technological advances due to a lack of individual focus, which can be a barrier to advancement.[0:51:35] The BEST System for YOUR LONGEVITY & HEALTH is Inside You: We don't always want to own it, but we choose our own healthcare system as individuals. Think about it. The system doesn't choose what you eat, or what “treatments” you take. Rethink your approach to your health and healthcare. You're worth it.

When your gut is messed up, your head is messed up. I know this first hand because the reality is I've never been the same since I had colorectal cancer. I battled years of gut issues, discomfort, and pain. I've tried everything you can think of but nothing has worked as well as the Carnivore Diet. It's been a game-changer and a life-saver. For those who don't know, the Carnivore Diet is meat only. Now, I know what you're thinking – all meat, no vegetables? It may sound crazy, but trust me, the benefits are undeniable and I have the blood results to prove it. My cholesterol dropped 20% in 30 days and after 11 months, it has been the single best health hack I have used in 10 years.Dan has been on the Carnivore Diet for 6 months and experienced amazing results including losing 20lbs (which greatly relieved the pain from his arthritis). With the carnivore diet and stem cell treatments, Dan's tendons are being regenerated. You can see all these benefits when you look at him, and he is 80 years old! Here are three ways the Carnivore Diet could help you:Goodbye, Gut Issues: Since ditching carbs and embracing meat, my gut problems have vanished. No more embarrassing dashes to the bathroom or feeling bloated and uncomfortable.Mental Clarity and Energy: The brain fog is gone, replaced with sharp focus and sustained energy throughout the day. I no longer need those afternoon naps to power through.Weight Loss and Lean Muscle: The pounds melted away, revealing visible abs I haven't seen in years! Plus, we've noticed an increase in lean muscle mass. TIME STAMPS[0:00 - 1:00] The Carnivore Diet: If you're struggling with gut issues like me, or just want to feel better and sharper, this diet could be your answer. It's about simplifying what you eat – meat and water, that's it. You'd be surprised how amazing you feel when you cut out all the processed junk.[1:00 - 3:00] Fueling Your Body: My routine is pretty straightforward: a New York strip steak in the morning, another at noon, and maybe one more if I'm hungry later in the day. It keeps me energized all day long, no more afternoon slumps! My cravings are completely gone. I no longer crave snacks or chips or other junk throughout the day.[3:00 - 5:00] Seeing the Results: The changes I've seen are incredible. My cholesterol dropped, my mental focus sharpened, and I'm no longer battling those annoying gut problems. Plus, I lost weight you can see in my face, and I even have visible abs! That inflammation melts away. [5:00 - 7:00] Making It Work for You: Listen, it's not about being perfect. You can have some shrimp or fish if you're out, but try to stick to meat as much as possible. Buy organic, grass-fed beef and trustworthy butchers. Figure out what works best for your body. And don't worry about traveling, it's easier than you think to stay on track.[7:00 - 10:00] More Than Just a Diet: Results are results. I have been on the carnivore diet for 11 months, and Dan has been on it for 6 months. We have both experienced weight loss, improved mental clarity and better blood test results. No cravings. Better cholesterol. We look better and we feel better. The carnivore diet is a no-brainer for us.

You're making good money but working yourself to death, or worse... you're a "Poorly Paid Thought Leader" with followers but an empty bank account. Sound familiar?JJ Virgin and I have worked together for over a decade, and we've both been through the entrepreneurial meat grinder and lived to tell about it.When I had stage three color-rectal cancer, and went through 33 radiation treatments, I wrote a book, created a course, and the day after my 34th treatment, I spoke at Tony Robbins' Business Mastery. I was 130 pounds, fresh off opiates, and went to get a spray tan so I didn't look like an alien on stage. At the same time, JJ's son was hit by a car and in a coma, right in the middle of launching her Virgin Diet empire. She was battling for her business, but most importantly, her son's life. Talk about crisis management!Here are three golden nuggets from our chat that could save you years of pain:1. STOP CREATING NEW STUFF: JJ nailed it - entrepreneurs love to create, but hate to sell. When something doesn't work, they create something new instead of fixing what they have. The secret? Create ONE thing, test it with your warm audience, and tweak until it works. If you can't sell it to friends, you won't sell it to strangers.2. DON'T SCALE TOO SOON: JJ shared how she got burned when The Virgin Diet exploded. She had $500K in shakes ready to ship but no customer service system in place. The result? 300+ angry customer emails on day one while she's sitting next to her son with a coma in the hospital. Scale only after you've got your systems dialed in.3. BUILD WHAT YOU LOVE (AND DELEGATE THE REST): You CAN build a business doing what you love and very little of what you hate. Why? Because somewhere out there, someone LOVES doing the stuff you hate. Dan Sullivan calls it “The Who. Not How.” Your job is to focus on your genius zone. (And that's why I run the Superpower Accelerator.) Want to dive deeper into building multiple streams of income the right way? JJ's put together a comprehensive guide that walks you through exactly how to identify and build your next best income stream. Grab it at CapabilityAmplifier.com/MSIGuideKey Takeaways[0:00-1:00] All business owners get stuck. Me. JJ. You. We either grind away in practice without knowing how to scale, or achieve fleeting fame without a solid backend to sustain our business.[3:00-5:00] JJ Virgin shares her story and emphasizes her lifelong passions for health and marketing, and how those passions led her to a successful career path. Passion can set the stage for your success[5:00-7:30] There are various stages of growth, and almost every entrepreneur will encounter feeling like a “successfully stuck practitioner," or "the poorly paid thought leader," This is where you realize the importance of selling transformations rather than just products.[11:00-16:30] JJ Introduces her "Health Business Ascension Model," a three-step process encompassing create, optimize, and scale. [21:30-23:30]. Real-life experiences can help you build trust and authenticity, enabling you to navigate challenges effectively. Don't back away from them. Lean into them and learn. [31:30-32:15] Identify your passions. Clarity and self-awareness are integral to building a business that aligns with your passions and desired lifestyle.[33:30-37:30] JJ Virgin highlights what makes her so efficient: her respect for time, and her meticulous approach to planning and organization. What can you do to FREE up your time? Make more money, and live a little? [39:00-47:15] I am on the carnivore diet. JJ and discuss the benefits and drawbacks, and alternative approaches to protein intake that may be useful to you. Also, don't underestimate the value of resistance training for muscle building.

“I was told I didn't matter, that my only value was in being a good wife and “Achi-Bachi.” But I refused to accept that. I broke free from centuries-old cultural conditioning and trauma and created a new path – the Jamali Method. Jamali is a mission and movement to bring freedom and purpose to Muslim women around the globe; to empower them to break free of the chains of societal and cultural oppression, and step into leadership – for their family, community, and businesses.”Meet Eram Saaed, the world's #1 coach for Professional Muslim women, a catalyst for change, empowerment, abundance and connection bridged by Islamic principles with modern leadership.Born in Pakistan, she was raised in a culture where women's voices don't matter and are expected to be silent and submissive.

This week on the Podcast, Dan and Mike dove into the wild world of politics and what it can teach entrepreneurs about getting loyal "voters" - aka customers!You're not going to believe some of Dan's insights. Like why he says politics is pure entrepreneurship... the slim margins that tip elections and how those apply to sales... and the major difference between how liberals and conservatives see the world.And you'll hear the fascinating story of Mike's friends, Kurt and Kristen who worked on multiple presidential campaigns and raised over $500 million... and how they're channeling that political sorcery into a new business helping entrepreneurs grow!Now before you tune out because you “hate politics” - hear them out. What they realized is that political campaigns operate VERY similarly to a business startup.They have to capture attention, mobilize action, and drive "transactions" (in their case - votes and donations) with very limited resources in a short timeframe. Many of the strategies and tactics can be applied to grow YOUR business.A few highlights from the episode include: Why Dan believes political campaigns are purely entrepreneurial How the Trump campaign leveraged technology and metrics in ways other candidates didn't The key mindset shifts Dan noted after advising a team that has helped elect a President, 14 Senators, 15 Governors and 88 Congressional members How political psychographics can help you understand and activate your perfect customers Why there is MORE money available in politics than business (and how to access it for your company) And more surprises! Beyond the practical lessons, it gave Mike a whole new appreciation for the political process itself. Love it or hate it, the “game” of politics taps into raw human psychology and emotion.So tune into this meaty episode if you want a crash course on political psychology from one of the best strategic minds on the planet!Key Takeaways (03:46) Husband and wife team's successful political business. (06:55) Elections, ballots, and campaigns simplify political decisions. (10:40) States compete for businesses with tax deals. (17:09) Twitter conversations measured, issues tailored to excitement.

It's that time of year again. When we reflect on all of the things we're thankful for…Well, Mike is super thankful for YOU and being a part of his community. So as a thank you, they're replaying one of their recent, most popular episodes. Check out the original episode below and if you missed it the first time, you're in for a real treat!--------------------Get ready for an epic convo on this week's Capability Amplifier podcast episode. Dan and Mike go deep on Dan's brilliant framework called the "Great Meltdown."Dan argues that we are entering an era of slowing progress. The factors that fueled rapid growth over the past few decades - cheap money, abundant energy, plentiful labor, and low transportation costs — are evaporating.He calls this the "meltdown" or MELT (and it's a brand new book he's working on).This has huge implications for business and society. How do you thrive when the tailwinds become headwinds?The basic idea is that Dan has identified 4 key factors that drive the speed of progress and change in business and society — Money, Energy, Labor and Transportation (MELT). And he reveals how tracking these 4 elements gives you an incredible predictive lens on where the biggest opportunities will be over the next 10-25 years.Mike's biggest takeaway: entrepreneurs who can escape the grip of MELT will have massive advantages. Your business needs to drastically cut its dependence on money, energy, labor and transportation.Easier said than done, right? Don't worry, they tell you how you can use the MELT framework to spot gaps in the market, craft game-changing business models, and build wealth even in turbulent times.You'll love their spicy side conversation on today's bankrupt narratives like disruption and wokeness. Let's just say Dan and Mike have strong opinions!Whether you're a founder, investor, or executive, this episode will change how you think about the future. The Great Meltdown is upon us, people.

Get ready for an epic convo on this week's Capability Amplifier podcast episode. Dan and Mike go deep on Dan's brilliant framework called the "Great Meltdown." Dan argues that we are entering an era of slowing progress. The factors that fueled rapid growth over the past few decades - cheap money, abundant energy, plentiful labor, and low transportation costs - are evaporating. He calls this the "meltdown" or MELT (and it's a brand new book he's working on)This has huge implications for business and society. How do you thrive when the tailwinds become headwinds? The basic idea is that Dan has identified 4 key factors that drive the speed of progress and change in business and society - Money, Energy, Labor and Transportation (MELT). And he reveals how tracking these 4 elements gives you an incredible predictive lens on where the biggest opportunities will be over the next 10-25 years. Mike's biggest takeaway: entrepreneurs who can escape the grip of MELT will have massive advantages. Your business needs to drastically cut its dependence on money, energy, labor and transportation. Easier said than done, right? Don't worry, they will tell you how you can use the MELT framework to spot gaps in the market, craft game-changing business models, and build wealth even in turbulent times.You'll love their spicy side conversation on today's bankrupt narratives like disruption and wokeness.

But Nobody's Talking About!The latest episode of Capability Amplifier just dropped and it's a doozy. (If you have kids, grandkids, nieces or nephews… you really need to check this one out.)In this jam-packed episode, Dan and Mike dove deep into discussions about the future of education and how learning really happens.As two entrepreneurs who forged their own paths outside the traditional education system, they had a fascinating conversation about what's broken in education today and how learning can be improved for the next generation.A few highlights: Dan and Mike questioned whether formal education systems are even necessary anymore in the age of the internet and Ai. Knowledge is everywhere now - do we really need schools and universities? Dan shared his perspective that rigid educational systems stifle creativity. True learning happens through experience and creation, not memorizing facts in classrooms. Mike described his vision for the future - a world where every child can launch a business by age 12-14, with the help of technology like Ai. Way better than saddling them with student debt! They explored the idea that the greatest "educational system" is freeing yourself from other people's systems and forging your own path. They covered a ton more ground - including the power of apprenticeship, the military origins of many Fortune 500 CEOs and the entrepreneurial energy pulsing through places like MIT.This was one of their most exciting and enlightening sessions yet. Dan is a master provocateur and always gets Mike's neurons firing!Have a listen and let's hear your key takeaways. What did you find most interesting or inspiring?
