Don't let the haters fool you, if we step back and look at the overall state of firearms ownership, we're seeing suppressors become so common and available that they are starting to specialize. Enter the JK Armament CCX Suppressor, or can if you prefer. So small and light that it can be used on a pistol without a booster, and still puts in the work when it comes to performance. Typically, when we look at a suppressor, we are stuck in a "pick 2 on the menu" situation. If the choices are light weight, top performance, and low cost, we're forced to pick 2 choice and sacrifice the third. The CCX suppressor is light weight, and low cost, but how does it perform?One part evaluation, another part address to how we think of suppressors, this episode of the REDACTED Culture Cast bridges the gap between what a suppressor does, and what we might do with it.

Eike já viveu várias vidas em uma: já foi o 7º homem mais rico do mundo, mas também foi preso por duas vezes durante a Operação Lava Jato. De tão surreal que é sua vida, ela virou livro e filme nos cinemas.Uma breve bio de Eike: nascido em Governador Valadares, Eike Fuhrken Batista da Silva mudou-se aos 12 anos para Frankfurt na Alemanha por causa da carreira profissional de seu pai, Eliezer Batista, que na época presidia a Vale do Rio Doce. Eike cursou Engenharia Metalúrgica numa universidade alemã mas não chegou a concluir o curso.Na época de estudante, começou a vender seguros de porta em porta. Voltou para o Brasil em 1981, com 24 anos, quando adquiriu sua primeira mina e atuou como intermediário de garimpeiros do Mato Grosso na venda do ouro para os grandes centros do País.Foi sua primeira de várias empreitadas no mundo das commodities e pedras preciosas. Seu ápice como empresário veio em 2012, quando alcançou mais de 30bi dólares e tornou-se o 7º homem mais rico do mundo. A fortuna vinha das empresas do Grupo EBX, que tinha atuações nos setores de petróleo, mineração, energia térmica, carvão, portos e logística.No entanto, nos anos seguintes, uma sucessão de frustrações com os projetos das empresas X fez com que o império derretesse na bolsa, sendo a mais emblemática a OGX Petróleo, que chegou a ser uma das ações mais importantes do Ibovespa. Outras companhias, como MMX, CCX e LLX também sucumbiram, enquanto a MPX Energia permanece até hoje e como uma das queridinhas da bolsa atualmente, agora sob o nome de Eneva.Esta será uma conversa sobre o passado, o presente e o futuro de uma das personalidades mais marcantes do capitalismo brasileiro.Convidado: Eike Batista (Empresário brasileiro)Apresentadores: Thiago Salomão (@_salomoney) e Josué Guedes (@josueguedes_) Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/market-makers--5613725/support.

ASX 200 kicked 87 points higher to 7298 (1.2%). A killer combo of strong US markets and a much better-than-expected local CPI at 4.9% kept the market pumping.

PLS was the standout after its huge cash pile just keeps on growing, up 13.2% and MIN up 1.8%.

ASX 200 crashed 110 points to 7024 (1.5%) today on a killer combo of weaker US, RBA minutes and the shock of the BoJ effectively letting rates drift higher. 10-year yields jumped to 3.71% and banks at least held their ground on the jump but everything else, well Split Enz summed it up. I See Red! Maybe more Martha with no where to run, no where to hide. Except banks with the Big Bank Basket unchanged at $182.68  MQG fell hard 1.6%, Insurers better, just, Fund managers turned lower, MFG down another 2.0%, AMP off 1.5%.  Healthcare in ICU with CSL down 0.9% and FPH off 2.0%, RHC down 2.5% and RMD easing back. REITS were smashed on higher interest rates, GMG down 4.5%, SCG off 3.8% and DXS down 2.4%. Old skool platform stocks dropped hard as DHG revealed surprisingly weak listing numbers. REA followed down 7.7% and CAR off 3.3% with SEK not found off 5.5%. Industrials hit hard, WES down 3.4%, ALL off 4.5% and DMP falling 4.0%. Resources though bore the brunt of the sell off.

PLS down 4.2% and S32 off 2.4%. Energy stocks too ran out with WDS off 1.2% and WHC down 2.6%. In corporate news, DHG whacked 9.1% with NEC, on update.

BHP extended its DD on OZL for another week. Someone is working over Xmas. In economic news, consumer confidence end 2022 on a weak note. Maybe a middle D.  The RBA minutes showed could have been anything. BoJ raised rates! 10 year yields soared, Asian markets slapped down. Why not sign up for a free trial?

 The ASX 200 rallied 7 points to 6998. Quiet, too quiet. After the big falls yesterday, investors and traders were reluctant to chase the market higher ahead of a weekend. A good bounce from technology stocks predicated on a Nasdaq bounce but also a big after-hours jump in Block (SQ2) rising 32.5%. SQ2 is 5.9% of the All-Tech Index. CPU is the biggest holding at nearly 13%. CPU rose 1.5%. Results and Russia remain the focus. Industrials were mixed as REITs rose slightly, GMG up 2.4% and CHC up 3.7%. WES rose 0.3% and ALL up 1.9% with TLS off 0.3% and BXB slipping 0.8% on pallet hoarding and rising costs of timber. Banks eased as bond yields steady at 2.23%, the Big Bank Basket fell to $ 171.72 (-1.5%). MFG revealed another blow to FUM and fell 10.1%, MQG bounced slightly up 1.5% and insurers flat. Miners were easier, BHP down 0.2% and RIO down 0.7%. FMG bucked the downdraft rising 0.3%. Gold miners and energy stocks fell away as the spike in underlying assets pulled back. Lithium stocks better, AKE up 5.2% and PLS up 4.6% with LYC reporting record numbers rising 6.9%. Healthcare eased with CSL down 1.3%. In company news, ALG rallied 17.2% on its results, CCX saw a 12.9% bounce after a shocker yesterday on numbers, BWX fell 26.4% as it swung to a loss and KGN suffered a similar sell-off on its numbers, down 6.2%.

 The ASX 200 fell 215 points to 6991 (3.0%). It was all about results and Russia. Mainly Russia today as the drums of war beat loud and Putin sent troops into Ukraine. The index opened badly with BHP ex-dividend accounting for ~40 points alone and as the day wore on it became a rerun of the Red Wedding from Game of Thrones. Broad-based losses with technology and high PE stocks hit for six. This is not a GFC event based on a collapse in financial confidence but a sentiment event. But it is still painful.  For a market already rattled by the Fed and inflation, this has just kicked it down to risk-off at any cost. Banks fell hard with the Big Bank Basket hitting $173.90 down 2.3%. NAB off 2.5%, CBA down 2.1% and MQG falling 4.9%. Insurers too were whacked QBE down 3.6% and SUN down 2.1%. MFG fell 3.3% and NWL down 4.14%. Healthcare suffered too with CSL down 1.5% and RHC holding up on results. Industrials kicked lower, TLS down 1.7%, WES down 2.2% and TCL off 1.2%. Miners were weaker except in gold, BHP fell 6.9% ex-dividend and RIO dropped 3.8% on results last night. FMG down 4.2% and lithium shares depressed, PLS down 8.1% and MIN off 6.4%. Oil stocks were also weaker perversely, STO off 0.4% and WPL down 2.7% (ex-dividend). Gold was a bright spot but only just, NCM up 4.0% and NST up 5.9%. Tech stocks were decimated. SQ2 down 12.9%, XRO off 5.5%, WTC down 7.5% and CPU down 4.0%. Second liners were bashed lower, CCX lost 30.9% on results, 360 became 240 down 28.8% and APX crashed 28.7% on its results. The All-Tech Index was down 5.3%. In corporate news, QAN fell 5.1% on its numbers and delays to reopening WA took their toll. CIM saw its majority holder finally put other shareholders out of their misery with a bid at $22. LOV rallied 11.8% on its numbers, impressive given the backdrop and FLT landed badly down 10.1% on its numbers. Nothing on the economic front. Nothing to worry about anyway. Asian Markets fall but outperform local markets. 10-year yields dropped to 2.17%. Why not sign up for a free trial?

On a zoom call I floated the idea "We can have happiness in any moment that happiness is a decision".  But it made me realize I didn't give the steps to achieve said happiness.  Because if we can decide to be happy at any moment, that doesn't mean we're going to be happy in the moment, It means we've got to take next steps.  Let's discuss some of those steps.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: contact@belove.mediaFor social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:02 I am going to talk about that we can have happiness in any moment. That happiness is a decision and what are some implications of that.  And what is a more effective way for me to talk about that? And I, I, because I realized like today I wrote down that, yeah, we can have happiness in any moment. And happiness is a decision. And then I ended up on this zoom group meeting where I got to lead a talk, or I got to share first. And so I got to talk about that idea, that happiness is a decision then I think, and what happens is inevitably somebody goes to the extreme circumstance. Well, if you had this circumstance that is so extreme, of course you can't decide to be happy in this circumstance. And I framed that as well. And, and, um, what I realized though, well. What I realized after some other people had shared and discussed was that I gave no steps or no framework.Mischa Z: 01:22 So I just floated idea, and then it can sound great, but I'm not like here's actionable. Here's how it's actionable or going a little bit deeper with it. And so I had said, you know, Hey, happiness is a decision. Oftentimes when we talk about that, somebody are automatically goes to the extreme. I sent that to, so then I got to pick someone to share next. So I picked someone to share next, and that person says "I disagree because here's the circumstances". And that when I floated the idea, I said, you know, we can be happy in any moment in spite of our circumstances, like, if we're depending on circumstances for our happiness, that's an exercise in futility. And so this person said, well, "I disagree", which is cool. And we were having fun. And I was laughing at myself. And so she said, Hey, you know, I've got a sister who's one of my daughters just got real sick. My other daughter just broke her neck and something else happened. And so she's like, "I can't be happy".Mischa Z: 02:58 And the thing is, there's no opportunity to rebut. So I was just listening and going, huh, that's interesting. You know, that's, those can be seemingly times when you can not be happy. Right. And so there was great conversation back, or there was a great conversation with other people as they talked about it. Um, but it really got me thinking that, okay, "What if happiness is a decision"? "What are the steps to happiness?" Because I think if you decide to be, if we can decide to be happy at any moment, that doesn't mean we're going to be happy in the moment we've got to take next steps. And that was sort of my aha, like breakthrough thinking right there. The next time I have an opportunity in front of people, or if I'm having a discussion with a friend or an interested, willing listener, the captive audience, like you on this podcast right now that let's talk about the steps. So I think first, clearly you need to be willing. You need to be willing to think that that's possible. Maybe you don't. I think it would be nice. Like that lady clearly was not willing. She's like, no, I'm not willing. She already, the circumstances popped up in her head. She was in a state of, of unhappiness, as she said in the moment, I'm not happy because of my two daughters who are going through distress.Mischa Z: 04:39 And, uh, which makes me think of a lot of great stuff of, of, of, of, about that. But I'll save that for, for either if I have enough time here or for another episode. So let me get back to it. So, okay. Happiness is a decision. I'm willing to be happy. Okay. So what's the next thing. The next thing is, all right. One tool would be to take a big breath in and a big breath out. Just let that powerful breath that God centered breath can pull you into the moment. And then what would be a next step you could do, you could talk to your higher power or that thing that is greater than you, that hopefully you can put some, some belief into or trust into or something again. And so perhaps you could, uh, turn to that. Grow your God, shall we say?Mischa Z: 05:48 So I love that idea. Next time I have the opportunity in public to talk about happiness as a choice or a decision then to say, all right, Hey, we gotta be willing be we gotta take a big breath in. And then, you know, C, D N E for example, and I don't have C, D E. That's all out of the top of my head, but, but, uh, you know, what do I do because I am working on happiness in the moment. So the big deep breath, and then talking to God, and if I am in the state of resentment, do the resentment tools. If I'm in a state of fear about a situation, what are the, you know, is it, is, is a big breath in and a prayer enough, or do I need to pull out pen and paper or do I need to grab some of my literature that reinforces happiness in the moment? Or, you know, I'm just thinking about all these cool ways to come back to the moment.Mischa Z: 07:14 And I will... In a perfect world, I'd have had more of those penciled out before I started recording this episode. But I think you get what I'm saying. And I think I would have been more effective today on that zoom group meeting that I got to lead. If I would have, when I floated the idea that you can "happiness is a decision" that I could have given examples, real life, examples of myself, and how did I, what were the steps I took to bring, to bring me back to happiness in the moment? So, um, there you have it. That's what, uh, you know, I, I guess to, you know, I'm on this two CCX, this Russell Brunson thing, this learning how to be a more effective storyteller, a more effective teacher, a more to carry a more poignant message. And so that's what really got me thinking about, about the happiness in the moment. I'm like, oh yeah, I'm saying that, but I'm not perhaps talking about the, learned it and earned it, or here's the framework and the steps, here's this here's I gave you the strategy. Now here's the tactics you can use, um, to achieve that.Mischa Z: 08:52 And, uh, you know, there's, there is some literature that was, yes, thank you. Sorry, I'm a bit scattered, but, or, or pinging around, but I realize as well that I could have referenced some literature that is powerful, that affirms that idea. And it's common literature that is common knowledge, style literature, you know? And, uh, so I can be like, Hey, if you believe that this person is valid in their thinking, then, you know, here's the literature that they've produced. Here's what they say to do. Right. Okay. Does that, does that make sense? Am I making sense here people? I hope so. Um, happiness is a decision. We need to be a willing, then we need to at least take a breath, big breath in long breath out to come back to the moment. And then perhaps depending on what type of discontent is it, is it some fears of losing what I have or not getting what I want? Or is it, is it, you know, Familia, family, tension, strife, kids being sick, or I, I dunno, you get it. I'm done. I'm just digging the, digging the hole deeper. I hope this episode gets published. Love to all.

Time to make the decision on whether to renew with the coaching group I'm in.  Do I have the capacity to do the next steps?   It's expensive.  Keep who I can help in focus.  And as long as I focus on service, the answer is clear. "Be free of the ego to make heartfelt decisions and your life will be inspired and amazing.”Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: contact@belove.mediaFor social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:03 As I said, on the last episode, it's time to renew for, to make the decision about whether to renew for the two CCX coaching group I'm in and for anybody that's new or has forgotten. Part of this coaching group has gotten me to publishing every day, hence this episode, that this podcast that you're listening to right now, the slap the accelerated path to peace podcast and also the summit, the tools for a good life summit. Those are two things that I've done. And now I'm tasked with putting myself out there more on Facebook groups and trying to build a bigger audience and, and start driving some organic traffic versus paid traffic. So that's kind of cool. Right. But I'm definitely nervous about, do I have the capacity to daily, you know, do those, do those things. Um, so that's like a question that I've got in my mind.Mischa Z: 01:15 Um, also hold please, the last episode, um, the interweb crashed and, uh, right in the middle of the episode. And so the recording popped up, so I was like, oh my gosh, you have to see if I have to redo it, do it, or whatever, sorry, diversion, perhaps I'll edit this section out when I go to, uh, to, uh, editing this part, this podcast episode. Um, so yeah, the two CCX got me publishing every day on a podcast. I did a summit to start building a list and developing relationships with people on my dream 100. People who I would like to work with, collaborate with, communicate, with develop relationships with in the space that I am playing. And now it's time to start creating products, offerables , something to offer you the people.Mischa Z: 02:26 And that's what I will do. Year two, hopefully is start creating offer interested in and trying to create funnels to drive sales of said product. Products. Um, and so the last episode will, what if I wasn't worried about money? Because up to this point, it's been a losing financial proposition and it was, well, gosh, if money wasn't an object, heck guide, do it. Cause I'm having fun and learning and being of service and all these things. So the next question was to help me with this decision was keep who I can help in focus. So again, I'm looking to renew the two CCX, which is a high-end coaching program. So it was expensive and I'm like, oh my gosh, should I do this? And what am I going to do? And it can be such a big thing in the universe, God source. Hm.Mischa Z: 03:35 The infinite intelligence dropped the thought into my head, keep who I can help and focus. So that avatar, that avatar, that elusive, um, that elusive, uh, ideal of who I can help. And so I did have who, who can I help? So I did a little bit of writing and this was who I can help. Um, I can help, I help growth minded high-performers move beyond the constant worries of money, which is funny. Cause I'm just was talking about financial worries. Hopefully I'll move past that and just sign on the line that is dotted. And the need for relationships so that they can thrive in the second half of life.Mischa Z: 04:31 So if I can keep that person in mind, those high performers who write like I was a high performer and one of the best decisions I ever made was quitting my high performing career to do what other things that my heart was calling me to do. And throughout my life, I've made many hard decisions like that, that have all been awesome and led to a really cool life I'd life. Actually that my son said to me the other day, I did an episode about this. I want to have cool experiences like that. I want to have cool adventures like that. So I've had a very adventurous life, which is super fun to think about. So that provided me sort of some freedom to, to be like, yeah, all I need to do is keep that ideal in mind being of service to that person out there.Mischa Z: 05:32 Cause that was a place I was suffering, right? Like I was suffering. I was in a job that I didn't want to be in. And I was stuck in there because my identity of being a successful mortgage banker kept me there. Um, society's pressure of, "you've got to know what to do next". You've gotta be earning, producing succeeding. I was a type sales like I was, was in it and, and I knew my time was done, but I couldn't leave. As a matter of fact, I had the full godfather moment of, of quitting and then divorce happened like quitting. I, I did actually, I was out of it. And the judge, the judge I had taken of a vocational evaluation, I believe is what you called it. And they're like, sorry, my friend, you have child support and alimony to pay. And the one thing you know, how to do well currently is mortgage banking. So we know you can do it. So we're going to assume that you are and assign a financial number based on what you could be making if you were in mortgage banking. And um, at the time I was like "sh*t". Sorry about the language godfather moment. "Every time I leave you pull me back in". So, um, I ended up back in mortgages.Mischa Z: 07:12 Isn't that funny? So anyway, I was finally able to leave, but it was a very tough decision. I did some heavy, heavy, cool work that helped me realize instantly all of a sudden I was like, oh my God, it's time to go. I see that. I see the vision for the future, which happened to be a stay at home. Dad gave me the courage to be a stay at home dad to my then a tween and teen boys, two boys. Um, so that was a heavy dark place for me. If that transitional point until I finally had the courage to, or, or I saw like take the leap, take the leap, quit the job.Mischa Z: 08:03 It's okay that you don't see what's next because I did not see what was next. It gave me the courage to walk away without knowing what was next. And boy it was so beautiful and one of the best, best decisions I ever made. And if there's previous episodes where I talk about the depth of despair that brought me to that moment, um, you know, breakups, all kinds of things. Uh, yeah. So if I can keep that person in focus that I can help them, not quite sure how yet, perhaps, maybe the summit helped. Maybe these podcast episodes are helping some of you out there who are in that state.Mischa Z: 08:55 But I had the, you know, somebody else told me when I was wanting to vamanos or, or leave the 2CCX when it came time to brass tacks for the sonnet. And I could, I either needed to leave the two CCX or tackle the summit in Kent said, Kent said "you're being selfish, Mischa. You've got people to help buckle down, do the summit, quit being selfish". And I was like. And so there, it was again, keep who I can help in focus. So there you go. That, and if what I wasn't worried about money, those two things, you know, if I was like, yeah, the money thing will sort itself out. It always does have always have has. And that doesn't mean there's going to be more riches or this or that or the other thing, or it doesn't mean I won't have to have a roommate or something like that, or who knows if I had parents to go live with it wouldn't mean that I wouldn't have to move back in with mom and dad I'm way far away from that. But those are funny that those fears can sort of materialize.Mischa Z: 10:25 And as long as I focus on service, the answer is clear. Be free of the ego to make heartfelt decisions and your life will be inspired and amazing. That's what I've got. Have a great day.

I got to speak on someone else's summit for the first time today.“The Forgiveness Zone Summit”.  …Turns out it's a lot of work to have a lot of hair.  How do you say “extra curricular”?  Putting myself out there a little bit is leading to some opportunities.  My big lesson from being an interviewee.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: contact@belove.mediaFor social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Mischa Z: 00:01 What a cool day today. That's what I'm going to tell you about. But a cool day today, I was asked to speak on a sonnet. So that's what I'm going to talk about. How fun is that? Well, let's get right to it. Well, first off, let me just say that I was on a zoom meeting and, um, as my hair gets longer, I've officially, um, not had a care cut for, um, for, uh, a year and a half, and so my curls are in full effect, but I was on a zoom meeting this morning and well, the, the, as you, as a man, never really having long hair, I never understood the amount of effort that can go into, into managing said long hair. So hair ties, things like that, and really conditioning the long hair. So I've got curls and they can get super, um, knotted up.Mischa Z: 01:09 So you've got to, you've got to do some deep conditioning anyway, the day after can be awesome. Like the day after day one, the next day of the deep conditioning. Oh my gosh. Like full Robert plant mode. Now I see why girls, when they've got date night or whatever, or, or, you know, they've got a big night coming out, why it's so important that they do their hair and why they, it takes time. It just takes time. It takes time in the shower, all that stuff. So it's a process. It's a process. So anyway, any ladies that I've been married to and, or dated over the years, I apologize for any pressure that I have put on you to speed up due to hair care scenarios, um, anyhow, uh, onto it. So Connie, um, what's called his last name. See if I can find it quick.Mischa Z: 02:19 Connie asked me to be on her summit and what was super cool about that as well, was that I been very busy in my summit and, and doing these things. And so I hadn't been many on many of the extra, extra, extra correct. Correctly, extra what's that word? Oh my gosh. You know, when you're an extracurricular Yael is I can't even say it. Oh my gosh. It's late. I'm so tired going on. That summit took so much out of me speaking on that summit. It was the first I imagine once you get used to it, it's super easy, but energy-wise extra curricularly. Gosh, darn it.Mischa Z: 03:11 Email me the emails in the show notes, email. How you say that correctly? Oh my gosh, this is embarrassing. I hit pause so I can look it up, extra curricular, extra curricular activities. Anyhow. Um, so I get asked to speak on the summit and, uh, yeah. Time, effort, energy. Um, definitely, definitely, uh, tired as I record this. Um, oh yeah. So I had, I forgot why after all that talk on extra curricular activities, I forgot what I was leaving. I brought that up, but there's all these extra curricular activities available on the two CCX coaching, you know, opportunities to network, to learn, to grow, to bounce ideas with other people within the, within the coaching group, other coaches really cool times. And so I, the other day went on one of these extra curricular activities and, uh, someone who'd seen me on this in this coaching group for the last year was like, Hey, be on my summit. So I was like, of course I will. So that was very exciting to put myself out there a little bit and then get like a cool opportunity to, um, be asked to support someone's summit and to share my message. So her summit is super cool. It's Connie Macintosh Connie. And let me find, uh, Connie and Alan Macintosh. And there's someone who's called the, um, the forgiveness summit, which I think is beautiful and their tagline is getting out of your own way. So I get to speak on what inspires me to help others.Mischa Z: 05:18 How, okay. And what was the next question? So the first one, what do you feel holds? What do you feel holds people from becoming the best they can be? I got to speak to that. I don't want to take too long on this episode and I would encourage you to log into the summit when it becomes available to hear my answers. I'm sure I'll take an episode and give my answers, but worried about, uh, oh, how do you help them overcome those feelings? And then a lot of time people hold feeling resentment and blame deep inside. How could you help that person become successful in all parts of their lives? I got to speak to that, which was super fun. How great are these questions in your opinion, how does a global crisis affect individuals? We've seen incredible successes and huge losses. How does this happen?Mischa Z: 06:21 That was fun to speak to that both on an individual. And I touched politically on it just for fun, just for a second. And then do you have any other advice for our audience today? So I got to answer all those, the fun, fun, fun part, or the other interesting thing that developed was there's bonus rounds on these interview, on these summits oftentimes, right? There's the free interviews and then there's the upgrade bonus interviews. And she originally didn't ask me to do the bonus interview when we started. And I was like, oh, that's interesting. And so it turns out I added so much value on interview. One that she's like, Hey, I want you to do the bonus interview. And so I got to do the bonus interview, which she called "more with Mischa" and, um, I got to go deeper on some of the strategies and tactics that I have for dealing with resentments, um, for, you know, um, what was the thing she said about, uh, about how to help others about, um, about what do you feel holds people back from becoming the best they can be?Mischa Z: 07:40 And I went more in depth into tools and tactics for that. So that was super fun. Oh, and being my first summit, the big, big takeaway that I had was whenever I needed to pause and find my place in my notes, or think from it a minute, excuse me, I was super uncomfortable with the long pause. So I would cut a corner or I would just skip over or forget where I was, where absolutely next time I will not be afraid of the long pause in breathing, finding my spot, finding the point I wanted to make. So I kind of rushed through that being my first summit in being an interviewee on my first summit. Um, but no big deal. I feel like I was able to serve her audience and, um, bring valuable content. And I got to earn my way into the bonus interview. And then I did miss, uh, at least one important prayer that I wanted to put on there, which super bummed me out. But so be it. I prayed, how can we be of service? What can I bring to table beforehand? So clearly that's what the universe wanted me to do. So anyway, there you go. Hair stories. I'm learning how to manage a big mop of hair. And I got to speak on my first summit and there's a couple of lessons from it. Peace out.

Since his first TV appearance, Chris has performed on shows like The Steve Harvey Show, Windy City Live, Good Day Chicago, Penn and Teller, Scam School, and the Adam Carolla Show.Transcription for seo purposes only.One word Chris Jones podcast talking with Chris this month about how how is it bringing a child in to the world. Now when we're dealing with everything that were dealing with with you know that the riots around the country and around the world the pandemic that we've all been basically quarantined from everybody else. Is it scary to be a new dad or a dad to be in this time. I'm so excited. So excited. I have a little bit of perspective because I got into his three books and over so you know you if you have been an argument in 1920 and I just want to read the case, you can look back and take a minute there will be done in the past to get the interesting thing is that my twins were born in 2001. In November 2001 after the attack on the on our country and on the 9/11 attack is and at that time I was scared to death like what are we doing bringing children into this world at this time but you know they've done really well and then they graduate this year when everything's kinda shut down so I mean they had a couple of trying times. I think that'll push them to be that much better in the future, and my hope is that's the case for baby Jones as well. Very good perspectives that motivate 18 years old. Yeah. Like the young kids like your kids age can't fight a war that noted they are going to happen if there were any evildoers and therapist to be a fast war were just getting it the dominant he's been dead for a while now, when you see the world doing now that you know you had the riots happening around the country and you know I heard this morning on the radio that there happening around the world that there's some writing happening around the world for George Floyd. Do you think that this will end up being something or changing for something like that when Rodney King when that happened. I thought that that was going to change the world and I don't think it did gas and try to change the world as I try to make the world stop spending anything like this change of enactment of Jackson, but we've been with the world. We spend together. You know that the long way. I still have hope because I'm not going to be salt." I was reading very light misinformation going around saying that George Floyd didn't die that the priest and actor and stirring up some conversations that should not be a conversation at all. So who comes up with this conspiracy BS that's what I want to know this thing is true for Sandy Hook people so there's to get your gun Nazis had PR people ban public relations that even the client had public relations people they work on their image, and someone said no when and if he created this happened, yes, let's push that story and the accident happened. That's why I love journalism even more now. One of the first things he suddenly started talking today is that you are reading in the history books and that this kind of stuff is happened forever, and I believe that what you just I believe that I think that nowadays we're more aware of it hyper. Where is it now because of the fact that we have everything at the palm of her hands who can speak and get information immediately if not sooner. Assess happening and things in the past weren't always that way because I mean in a think about when when our parents were children that they went to the movie theater and theirs in Israel at the beginning of the about of a show. Oh yeah, that was under comedy side think that the bank robbers back in the day. Yeah, they rob a bank. Maybe have gone and shoot their initials into the side of the wall. I get it with copper and the boy. No police and then you know that when I was because I'm 20 years older than you. When I was a kid we'd find about it on you know in the newspaper because it came in. No sooner when you were a kid. It was things are on television immediately when it happened because they had to come up with, you know, ways to do that and then you know when my kids is Internet and by the time your child is older, who it might just be like thought processed into their heads. I know that so that's a weird way of thinking about things, but immediately look at how how things have changed and how we get our news now compared to the way that we got it in the past and it's just really right. I get that physical paper to my house delivery, five days a week. So many things you have so much technology like the CCX to watch the weather channel and she's like, how come we can't stop hurting we can on their we can't stop 20th is running the family's home. The more things change, Chris the morning to say the same minute identity feel their status in other states. I think the date that I got the answers and then something happens that I have no idea what the hell's going on anywhere you have control of my own life. What about something else you know is right. It's crazy. So let me you know I hate to but I hate to bring race into our conversation, we doing so being a black man now with what's going what's going on you know with with the everything in the in the world right now. I mean, is it different than it was two weeks ago, all without a doubt to his guy went running and running and now I go running and I don't want to wait a police car, but I feel obligated to live in a neighborhood that has a lot of police officer next to me. I don't want to leave. It's not right away when walking the dog. Like to go running my running too fast, and still something. How do I look like I'm clearly a runner and not losing someone's home to me that is me being sensitive remember an Georgia man was shot by civilian for running or jogging and in that man was are you are you more aware of it because it because you're black I'm aware of that I did not say that I would be oh you mean when you came to Chicago in your talk about when he got pulled over and that there are some black people and excellent. He told the story we were laughing at what she said a little bit of you being naïve in your my wonderful friend said I was very quiet and I have the little things are opposite and we were like yeah like that's where it starts to get pulled over like we asked permission on the department let them know my wallet in my pocket. Can I get it, like we get super scared we get pulled over when I was told the story and then you do, you mentioned that to me I was you know at the time is 2019 or 2018 and whenever was no surprise that happens, you know, in those days, and now all this is 2020 and the PS it happened in Minneapolis is unacceptable. I mean it's it it's hard to believe that that kind of crap happens in 2020 and then I'm embarrassed to say I don't member the name of the way I think it was Breanna. She was in bed with her boyfriend or husband and police Louisville first in the home without a warrant would identify and complete the her boyfriend was in the house was a burglar hired a couple shot fire multiple shots and they killed her and she was the first to find out if we can't find her and she is gone now but it wasn't on camera and the man who shot the burglar was brought up on trials tempted and drop now but Stacy she argued. Why is it that when a black man shot killed by police was unarmed. Get national attention and was a black woman don't hear about it. That's it. That's a legitimate question Chris. I don't know if you think I don't. Do you think a lot of what we have or having now is caused by media. I wouldn't say that I wouldn't say that that's wrong. If we unpacked some ugly stuff he always gives more prestige and power to men. And so when something is fighting against the powers that be. A man is usually attacked track down what happened to unpacked it further and be very ugly if a black man, was accused of raping a white woman went to kill him. I would show up in 2020 oh nine in the okay okay okay you get accused of like Emmett till was a Chicago kitty went out and allegedly whistled at a white woman and a light knock showed up or he was staying his cousin, and held them for a few days… I just tortured and then the men were later acquitted, and then wrote a book saying and I was one of the great awareness about all this to say we don't protect women fighting to get married and got to that happens to woman when I will be doing in their claim that the boat when it's on camera. I would like okay now I see what I believe are all the facts and opinions and then people hate it is semi final thoughts they Chris last night I couldn't sleep too well that I kept thinking about all lives matter. One of the suburbs of Chicago. There was a black watch another project in all lives just across the street and if you're going to say all live in that I'm saying you would like an angry person you are going that I don't love arguing all lives matter, my life matter as a white person on each putting down my value as a white person I would say you don't believe all lives matter because it is separate from the parent right now and intentions you don't believe in ice member life matters. You don't believe that some across the border illegally matters you don't believe that kids have the right to grow up and not get shot in our own American schools are. You don't believe all my it's a fine argument to last about two seconds really truly heart wanted to be an advocate for all lives matter worth you wouldn't be angry in the way that you are.

Virginia Purnell:Welcome to Entrepreneur Conundrum with Virginia Purnell, where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible. Hi everyone and welcome. Today I'm talking with Kaci Brown about how she helps businesses serve and scale through impact and integrity. Kaci is a business consultant and marketing strategist that helps visionary entrepreneurs who want to make an impact as much as an income launch, grow, and scale online. She leverages her unique experience and background in relationship marketing to help others turn their passion into a scalable, profitable business that creates a ripple effect to pay it forward in big ways. She is one of a handful of individuals selected to coach within Russell Brunson's two comma club coaching program. I click funnels and number one Amazon bestselling author, cofounder of the amplify coaching program and host of the amplify my impact podcast. Welcome, Kaci.Kaci Brown:Thank you so much for having me, Virginia. I'm really excited not only to be here with you because I love and adore your mission to serve, but it's just exciting to be a part of the podcast launch and what you're doing just to continue to, to share your message and to serve your audience in this way.Virginia Purnell:Thank you. I'm excited to have you here. So can you give us a quick little brief backstory on you?Kaci Brown:Oh, okay. So brief. My first entrepreneurial adventure was actually as a wedding photographer and that was one of the things that really taught me that whatever, whatever lane that I chose was sort of like a ministry for me. So when, and working with brides and their parents and their families, like it was such a huge milestone moment and relationships had always been really, really important.But that was the foundation for me with my business growing 100% through word of mouth, just based on the experience of the clients and the brides and their families working with me. And so that transitioned into a little bit of small business consulting. After my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor, it was one of those things where I had to stop and evaluate my current business model and and and plans for scaling because as a wedding photographer you only have 52 weeks out of the year so you can't get any more Saturdays. And that meant as our kids got older and involved in sports, so there is a lot of evaluation process that went into it. And then with Adam's diagnosis I knew there was going to be a ton of research, dr meeting surgeries and everything like that. And quite honestly I didn't, I didn't have the mental capacity to, to juggle it all.And it was one of those eye opening permanent perspective shifts in our lives where what is really, really important. We had already been about the type of life that we wanted to live as being an entrepreneur. We already both sort of worked from home and had that freedom. But with his diagnosis at 30 years old, it really thought it really taught us that we're not guaranteed tomorrow and all of this time that we think that we have to plan and save towards retirement, that that mindset needed just needed to shift to the here and now. What could we do to not only pour into our kids but in each other and the way that we wanted to live life right now. So with that mindset, he successfully navigated the surgery. There were some complications and he did 30 days of inpatient rehab. So it took me about five years before I really got back into business.And was, was to the point where I was, I felt the pull, like I needed to contribute more like that, just, just that God had made me for more with the gifts and talents that I had had. I felt like I was just sort of like sitting on them and not really paying it forward. And we had felt so many blessings with just people sending love and support and cards. And, and you know, gift cards like and just rallying around our family through that time of his diagnosis and recovery, that that just became like my mission. Like how can I, how can I pay this forward? How can I help other people navigate this set of circumstances? And so that's pretty much where my path begin with the online digital scaling and consulting. I got my first client helped them scale from barely making six figures to over a million dollars and the rest is pretty much history.I was very fortunate to join the right communities and get the right coaching and mentoring at the right time when when I knew I needed to level up at every different part and growth phase of my business, I joined the two comma club as a student and was mentored by Jorge Vasquez who was the coaching lead there. And they offered me a coaching position, which, which blew me away because it was one of those things I did not even expect or anticipate or it just, it wasn't in the game plan. Like I was growing a digital agency and somehow, not only Jorge, but the whole leadership team of two CCX and just just saw that like, and so my heart to serve like was just reinforced. Whereas like serve first build your relationships and figure out how you can always add value. And I, I just, I've never seen a negative impact or return on that yet.So that's what we've grown and built our businesses around. That's what we teach our, our clients and our, our coaching partners to do and their business. So I feel like it's one of those things where if we can just continue to share that message, responsibility and leadership that we are making an impact and we are just increasing our capacity of spreading that message throughout the world because we can only do so much as individuals. But if we rally together and, and let people know just the power of serving first, we collectively shift the industry. That is such a powerful story and I'm excited to have you back on so we can talk more about your business more. But just for the sake of this episode right now, can you tell us what the biggest thing you do to get visible online? Yeah, so for me the biggest thing is, again, it's a foundation of relationships.I love meeting new people. I love lifting other people up. And so I lead with the service always. It's a shift from like how can people see more of me versus how can I help others, you know, amplify their message and be more visible themselves. So it's honestly through serving that keeps us publishing and serving because I feel like we, we help bridge the gap of courage for those who are first starting out or they have an existing business that gets incredible results, but they may just not know how to, to get that message out there to Gail and reach more people with, with the solution that they have. So that's sort of like the niche that we found ourselves in and the more visible that we can be like that beacon of letting other people know, like, you don't have to be quiet.You can, you can stand up for what you believe in. While also serving is really what drives us forward. So I would say getting visible online, keep it about what you can do for others, 100% and that's the easiest formula that you can rinse and repeat and follow.Virginia Purnell:I love it. I love how your focus is outward and to other people rather than just like me, me, me, me, type of idea. Thank you so much for the great interview. How can people find out more about you and what you do?Kaci Brown:Yeah, so we have an online community called Amplify My Impact. So if you just search Facebook, you'll find us there. And we also have the amplify my impact podcast and we've made it super crazy easy for people to find us. Just the search online at www dot amplify my impact dot com so that was definitely a blessing where everything was able to come together with our mission and purpose and, and just making it easier for people to participate and, and, and rally together. Cause we all have the mindset of together we rise and it's, it's just one of those things where we can accomplish more. Working together with that abundance mindset versus there's not enough in the marketplace like that. The saturation and the fear or worried about competition or someone's going to be better than me or take my customer or client. That's one of the biggest myths that we try to dispel with our community.Virginia Purnell:I love it. I love all of the working together and everyone support each other. So thank you again, Kaci, for sharing with us. Have a great day. Thank you so much for joining us today. Be sure to subscribe and leave some love through a review and I'll catch you on the next episode.****Discover MoreDistinctDigitalMarketing.comAmplifyMyImpact.com

Ben:                          Hey there everybody! On today’s episode we have Austin Ford we’re gonna be talking about how he makes the rain fall for people who are ready to make money online. Austin:                    What’s up everybody? How’s it going? I’m glad to be here. Thanks for having me here, Ben. Ben:                          Absolutely. Thanks for being here! So you have you built, so I met you, met you a while ago, but we met really at funnel hacking live when it’s first time I actually saw your face and you were just getting ready to launch your own challenge, right? You’ve hacked a whole bunch of challenge funnels. Now you have your own system that helps people do the same. I’ve had an agency for a while and we build funnels for people, right? Austin:                    Yes! We would do Facebook ads, we would do bots, we would do all types of different funnels, webinar funnels, squeeze pages, high ticket application funnels, like all kinds of stuff. A myriad of things for clients, right? And last year, I got a lot of anxiety, every time somebody new came into my business. And I was like, and the reason I got anxiety was, was because my agency, my team had to reinvent the wheel every time we got a new client because they’d always want something different, right? And I got to a point where I was just frustrated with everything I was about to shut my entire process down and restructure the company I would’ve had. And I made a post in the Two Comma Club group coaching program, which Ben’s part of too, and I put a post scenario, I said, hey guys, like, you know, like this is giving me anxiety. Austin:                    And I said,I can’t take it anymore. Like what should I do? Right? And I remember Steven Larson jumping on there and commenting and saying, Yo dude, like less than one a phone call, right? So we ended up jumping on a phone call and the hour conversation, I can sum it up into two or three words. He said, Austin, you’re a nobody, right? Because nobody knew what I did. And the problem was I was doing everything and he was like, you need to ditch down and do one thing. All the stress will go away and your income works flowed, right? So he wanted me to be the bad guy. I didn’t want to be the black guy. Got off the phone call, jumped on ’em. I jumped on a two CCX cruise a couple months later and I was sitting down at my hito bar next to this named Latasha. She’s an influence marketer.                                     And I was telling her the same thing about my anxiety and my agency and all this other stuff. And she’s like, you need to niche down and do one thing. And she says, why don’t you just focus on challenge folks? Right? And I was like, ma’am, you’re so right. Right? So I ended up jumping off the ship. We had never built a challenge funnel in my agency before. So I went to, I went out there, I spent like $1,200 the first week hacking, dozens of different challenges, right? And I went through the entire process, all this funnel hacking, but Ben talks about a lot, right? I just went through the process. I pull up the emails, I looked at their sales page, I looked how they were selling stuff at the end. And that’s how I kind of became the challenge funnel cake.                                     So fast forward a little bit, I restructured my entire company. We restructured our entire booth at funnel hacking live where me and Ben met and we were, yeah, we were setting things up. And that’s when we launched our first challenge to teach other people how to create and build the challenges. And from there it’s been absolutely successful. We’ve had 150 people go through the program and we’ve had countless people come out of the program launching their challenge funnels, making 40 50, 60 a hundred thousand dollars their first month with a challenge funnel. So these are like, this is like one of the greatest things that I have ever laid my hands on and it also allowed me to kind of break free and I don’t have any more pressure on my chest. Right. I feel like I know what I need to talk about. I know what my message is now.   (listen to get more...)

A quick coaching session for Justin Guarini from American Idol, which will hopefully help you as well. On today’s episode Russell gives some advice to the members of 2CCX about how to fix a funnel if it’s not converting with paid ads. Here are some of the the helpful hints you will hear in this episode: How to keep the momentum going even when paid ads aren’t working. Why people who listen to podcasts are the best buyers. And how hitting the podcast circuit made Russell change the title of Expert Secrets. So listen here to find out what kind of advice Russell has if you’re feeling frustrated by your paid ads not converting. ---Transcript--- What's up everybody? This is Russell Brunson. Welcome to the Marketing Seekers Podcast. I got a special treat for you guys today. So, I found my 2 Comma Club X group, we've got some amazing entrepreneurs. One of the people who signed up this year was Justin Guarini, who is the dude who was on the first season of American Idol. He took second place to Kelly Clarkson, and then he was in the movie Justin and Kelly... I guess it was called. Then now he's the Dr. Pepper spokesman, a bunch of other cool things. He's a super awesome guy. He jumped into our community recently and then came for Lucky Live and joined the coaching program. He just launched his very first funnel. Anyway, it's fun watching him geek out, and it's super cool. Today he posted his funnel of live, actually a couple days ago, his funnel was live. Today he posted basically his ads aren't working yet and he's not sure what to do, and a little frustrated. Super positive still, but just kind of like, “It's not working yet.” Today I just really did a quick Facebook live into 2 Comma Club X groups, specifically to him, but to everybody. I thought it was really good, and some really important things for you guys as well. I'm going to just post the Facebook live here so you guys can listen to it. It's about 20 minutes long and the whole theme of it is what do you do while you're waiting for your paid ads to work. If you've been ever stuck in that situation, hopefully this episode will help you out a lot. Thanks so much and I'll keep the theme song. When we come back, I'll go directly into that Facebook live. Thanks everybody. Hey, what's up everybody? This is Russell again. Hope you guys are doing amazing. I know this is me going live twice in six hours, but when I'm on a roll, I'm on a roll, right? No, I'm just kidding. Last night, I went live and talked to you about some of the cool things I'm planning and thinking about for 2 CCX. And then, this morning I woke up, and I was going through my feed, and I saw the post that Justin made about his funnel going live, and the ads not working yet, and him being frustrated, and his post is really good. Hopefully you guys all had a chance to read it. I started sitting here this morning as I was taking my kids to the office, and I was like, “Okay, if Justin was sitting here, and he came to my office, what would I tell him? What would be the very first thing?” I had an idea and I thought it was really cool. I want to share with you guys, so I hope you don't mind. Is it okay if I just go live real quick today? My inner circle meetings start here in 30 minutes, so thought I would just take a moment out and insure it was, because I think it would be helpful for a lot of you guys, especially in a lot of you guys who are in this coaching program. You're here, you're on a budget and you're trying to figure things out. You spend all the time and the effort, the energy, going in, creating the funnel and the offer and getting it live and then you do all the work behind that. Which takes time, especially the very first time out the gate. The very first time you go and you do all the work and the effort to create it, and so you spend the time, the energy, the effort, you get the offer done, the hook, the story of the copy, all this stuff, the funnel. You're like, "Okay, now it has to work," and you're nervous, what if it doesn't work? And you put everything into it and then you go and you put a Facebook ads and Facebook ads are the greatest and the worst thing at all, because you go write the ad and then you go get submitted and approved and put your money and all kinds of stuff. Then you wait and then something happens, the day the ad gets approved or you spend $100 and nobody buys anything. Or you spend $1000 nobody buys a thing and you're like, "Ah." And you're like, "I don't even know what to do now. Do I stop the ad? Do I change the funnel? Do I change the offer? Was the offer bad? Did I screw the whole thing up?" And all this fear starts coming. That's where a lot of use get to, and then you're like, "I don't know what to do." And then you're like, I'm out, or I'm going to bail, or I'm going to want to lean in like girls keeps saying, but I don't know what to lean into. What do I do? Where do I shift? That's where a lot of you guys are at. And that's what Justin posted yesterday or maybe it was this morning. First of all know that I feel for you, I know that pain and that frustration and that fear and all the things that go into it and you're like, "Man, I spent three months building this. I don't even know what to change or what to write." Then there's that fear. I wanted to step back and give you guys some, some advice and hopefully some hope and belief because it's definitely the pieces needed right here in the journey. What I would say is, first off, it's interesting now this funnel, I have a to funnel hacking live as you know my keynote intro presentation, I talked about the different phases of business, from going zero to a million, million to 10, 10 to 100. The whole thing between going from zero to a million is by far the hardest phase, I think. It's also the most exciting, I love the startup phase. That's why I love the coaching, I love that piece of it. But what's interesting is going from zero to million, the biggest things you have to figure out, there's two questions to figure out. The number ones is what am I selling? It's not what do I want to sell? It's what does the market actually want? That's the first thing. The second thing is, how do I sell it? So the what in the how? I was talking about what am I selling it? How am I selling them? Part of the what is initially, it's a guess like, "Okay, I'm guessing this is it, maybe this is it." And you put out there and you just hope that it's the thing and sometimes you know about the hands, boom, the market is like, "That's what I want," and they freak out and is really good. Other times you put it out there and the market, doesn't really want it or not very many people and that's okay. Don't get discouraged. For me it took a whole bunch of what's before I hit click funnels. 14 years of what's, but what's cool about it is each of these different what's you're putting out there, can increment a lot of success where you're growing your list, customers are buying, more people get to know you. You create the next thing and the next thing and they all build upon each other to like boom, something hits. Don't freak out. The very first thing you put out there doesn't have to be a million dollar winners. Just the act of getting out there, because the very first thing you put out is the hardest because you have to learn all the steps. I had to learn how to build a funnel and drive copy and do a hook and an offer and create a product and do an E-cover and put it. All the things, and I always tell people, my very first product I ever created was a software product called Zip brander. Looking at Zip brander as a whole was a complete failure. I think I've probably sold 200 copies Max, but at the same time it was the biggest success that I've had because it was the first time I did the whole process from a to z, where I bought the domain, got graphics design wrote copies, created a product, start a driving traffic, made a few sales, and even though it wasn't my million dollar thing it was like I did the process once and the second time I was like, "Oh, this is easy." I already know who I'm getting for copies, doing design. The next part became really easy. Every funnel after that, I kept doing funnel after funnel until I started having some big successes. First thing is just the fact that you got the first thing done. That's huge, that's the what, the second is how, what am I selling and how am I selling it? That's the second question is how do I sell them? Ideally the the end goal is I want that Facebook ad, I can scale, I can just spend $1,000 a day and then make 5,000 a day. It's just rolling. That's where we're all trying to get to, but the reality is, and I want to step back for a minute because the reality is paid ads. Well that's the holy grail. That's what we're trying to get to. It's not always the first thing, in fact, I didn't do paid ads in my business for the first decade, which is crazy. 10 years of my business before I ever paid for that. It's interesting because nowadays we always leave, go to paid ads. The reason why is because as soon as you can get paid ads to work, it's the holy grill and life becomes super easy. But it's not always the easiest thing at first, especially right now where you create the ad, you put the time and effort and energy in and then like, "Oh, are you going to pay for the ad?" And then like "It didn't work" and then like, "Oh, what do I do?" And you tweaks the ad in then you wait again another day. Especially for us entrepreneurs who our momentum driven, we're trying, we're moving, the momentum is what gets us going. Running Facebook ads when they're not working at first it's the opposite of momentum. It's like you hit this brick wall, I put it behind me. If you hit a brick wall and like, oh, and then you change the ad and you try it again. It's like, oh, I hit a brick wall. And it's like you lose this momentum. It's this huge let down. Right. Justin I felt that I was reading your post stages just like, "Oh, I did the work, the effort and the ads aren't working and I need the momentum to keep me excited and motivated but the momentum's gone because the ad's not working and I don't know, do I change the offer [inaudible] pages to the add." All these things. So what I want to do is I want to step back because, if I was looking at traffic strategies, if I was starting a new business, the first thing I probably wouldn't do is Facebook and I shouldn't say that. I would start Facebook ads initially because I want to get that working as fast as possible. I wouldn't give up on that. I would keep doing that, making the tweaks and the changes. During that process where you're waiting for your ads to hit, where your waiting for it to work, while you're waiting for the slowness of initial grind, while you're waiting for things to hit, you don't want to stop momentum, you want to keep the momentum going, otherwise you're it's going to be frustrating. For me, it's, what would I do if I was starting over from it right now? Let's say I put together a book or an offer or a landing page or whatever I need. I need traffic coming. Waiting for Facebook ads to work, what would I do right now? For me, what I would be doing right now is I would be going old school. In fact, it's funny, I'm writing the traffic secrets book right now and literally last week worked on this chapter. It all comes down to the dream 100. What's the concept of the dream 100? Dream 100 are, who are the hundred people that already have your dream clients all in? Who are those people? Then how do I get from their audiences for free? In the book I talk about this two ways to get into the dream 100. Number 1 is you buy your way in, and number two, is you work your way in. If I was to do this today is I would start with podcasts. Poddcasts is the channel I would choose initially. I'm going to say a couple things. I'll wrap it into a bowl that will make more sense. I would start with a channel of podcasting, because obviously we have Facebook, we have Instagram, we have youtube, we have all these things, but podcasting is by far the channel I would lead with. The reason why is podcast listeners are the best buyers. These are my dream audience. They are the reason why I run my own podcast. The reason why I go on other people's podcasts, podcast listeners are the best buyers by far. I read a study and I'm going to script the numbers, but it was the average human who listens to the radio makes $30,000 a year, and the average human who listened to podcasts makes over $100,000 a year. Just by the fact that they have the podcast app on their phone and they are listening to content, makes them a better, how do I say that it's rude to say, but it doesn't make them a better human. You can be a good human and listen to music all day, but they make them a better buyer, better consumer. They make more money on average and they're into development, there into learning anyway. They're your dream customers. I'd do is I'd say, okay, I'm going to focus on the podcast channel and you think about any movie. Like when Avengers Endgame came out, which by the way, was the most insane movie of all time, so good. What happened? Watch the rollout. What happened is that they were basically they build the dream 100 for them it was TV shows, So it's like, "Okay, who are all the shows?" And that obviously marvel studios was buying ads, they were on Facebook, they were on youtube, they were on TV, they were buying ads for their show. Then they sent all of they're attractive characters out to go and work their way in. They were on Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and The Today show and Good Morning America. They were out there doing the circuit, getting the free traffic. They're not doing the free stuff while marvel is doing the paid ads. While you're training your paid ads to work, you should do the same thing as going out there and working your way in, getting into the circuit. I would go to the iTunes directory and any podcast directory, I would go look through the top 100 in every category. Of all these different podcasts who are the people that already my dream customers listening to this podcast. It doesn't have to be like... For me I wouldn't say just people in the business category. I would look at business, personal development. I would look at different categories. Because again, podcast listeners are all, if they're listening to podcasts, they're into personal development, which means they're into all sorts stuff. I would go and I'd make my dream 100 lists of here's the top 100 podcasts I want to get on. Then I was thinking, now my job, my goal is to get on all these podcasts. What's going to happen is while you're on these podcasts is a couple of things. Number one, this is free traffic, you're not paying to be on these podcasts, you're getting on to be interviewed, so number one, it's not costing you money. Number two is something you can be doing every single day so it's continuing momentum as opposed to buying an ad. You're writing out in the city, I can waiting and like nervously tapping your fingers, waiting for the thing to happen. There's something active you can be doing to move forward. Number two is that you're going to have a chance as you're on these podcasts to be interviewed, to start listening to what are the phrase that people ask? What the questions they're asking? What are people responding to? What are they not responding to? I was talking to Nick Fitzgerald yesterday and he did an event right before funnel or before on the 2 Comma X event and he said it was interesting. Today as I was going through my content. He's like, some things he is like, I felt it, I felt that I could just hit it, landed people connected with it. I was like, that's something that most people miss when they're just doing paid ads. What are the things people connect with? When you have this live platform, it's fascinating how quickly you find out, what are the things they hit? What are the things that don't hit? Even if you're just one on one, in an interview with somebody, by you just sharing your message over and over again, you start finding and refining like, "Oh man, that's the thing that the host, like his ears perked up" or I felt as I was delivering that I can feel the energy of that statement or that phrase that got people excited. You start learning those things really quickly. If you go out and you do a podcast, five podcasts, 10 podcasts, 30 podcasts, 50 podcasts, by doing that, you will learn your what so much better. What does it that I'm actually selling? What does the market actually want? So many times I've had a product that I tried to sell, like the expert secrets book for example. You may not know this, but the first thing I did is Extra Secrets Book came out is I did the podcast circuit. I went into the dream 100, pulled out every single podcast owner I could find. And I started going out there. And what's funny is if you bought one of the first 5,000 copies of The Expert Secrets Book, the title of the book was The Underground Playbook for Growing Your Mass Movement Online. Because I was like that was the title, that was the what and as I started in the interviews, I really quickly within the first three, four years, I realized that that subtitle did not connect with people. No one wanted to build a mass movement. I was like, oh. And every time I brought that up, it was just like, okay, but it was just, it didn't feel right. I don't know how to explain it other than that. It was wrong. I've learned that very quickly in podcasts and I literally, after like six podcasts, I messaged the publisher, I'm like, before the next printing we're changing the sub title. He was like, 'You can't do that." I'm like, "We are freaking doing that." Because I found out from the market that is not what they want. They do not want to build a mass movement. The book can stay the same, but the hook initially has to change. We changed it from Expert Secrets, The Underground Play book to building a mass movement, people who will pay you for your advice. That was the old subtitle to the new one, which is the Underground Playbook to find your message, build a tribe and change the world. In fact, I know who was my top, I think I came to just five or 10,000 copies of the first run. I know whenever people share on Instagram or Facebook, "I am reading Russell's book." I know when they bought in the cycle because we literally change the title of the book after hitting the podcast circuits. Because I found out that the messaging was wrong and I wish I would've done that before I wrote the book because the first 10,000 copies of the cover has a different subtitle. You guys probably didn't know that. I found out that that was the message that resonated. People wanted to find their message. They want to build a tribe and they want to change the world. That was the messaging that for the rest of the launch and has been going on for the last two years now. I didn't know that until I hit the podcast circuits. We've sold tens of thousands of copies of books through the podcast circuit. A couple other things on podcast. Number one is Facebook is like if you're the DOTCOM secrets book, I talk about cold traffic, warm traffic and hot traffic. Hot traffic is your own buyers. That's the people that are the best, they start moving down the spectrum. I would say the next best buyers after your own traffic are podcasts listeners, because they may not be your hot traffic, but they are definitely more than warm. They're listening to somebody talk about something every single day. Plugging into the ears, podcast listeners are amazing because they're listening during the most intimate times of your life. While I'm on the treadmill while I'm driving. You have different access to somebody's mind in a podcast that any other format. It is by far, I think the best delivery mechanism is podcasts. The hot traffic is your own customers. Next is podcast traffic and then it goes down to whatever. Like Facebook ads are warm to cold. Because you're targeting based of interests. Like, "oh I know they're interested in Tony Robbins and business, now, they're going to see my ad." But those are just warn people. They don't know who I am, they don't have an intimate connection with Tony Robins specifically. Maybe they liked his page and so because they're seeing the ad, whereas podcasts, listeners, you know that they subscribe, they listen, they plug in for 15, 20, 30 an hour a day to listen to the content. That is like... And you know that just the fact that listening to podcasts, the average podcast listener makes over $100,000 a year. So you know, they actually have money and you have a format where you don't have five seconds of the ad try captures attention, you have a longer 15, 30, 60 minute time to build the relationship with that audience before you push them to go to your free plus shipping or your book offer or your Webinar or things like that. Again, there's so many channels and dream 100 we'll go deeper throughout this year and as you guys get The Traffic Secrets Book, things like that, we're build June 100 channels like crazy. If I was you guys right now, especially just in listening to you, but anybody like this message is for him, but it's for everybody right now. I would say, "Okay, while I'm waiting for my ads to work, the next things I'm hitting the circuits just like I would if I was launching a movie, I'd be on Jimmy Fallon, Good Morning America, Today Show" all kinds of stuff. For you the equivalent of that is the podcast circuits. So it's going to iTunes, going to any podcast directory, going through the top 100 top 200 top 300 of all these different channels and going into there and you may think I like, "Oh, I'm not going to get on top 10 po... You don't have to get on top 10 list of the podcast. Right now, my podcast gets anywhere from 10 to 30,000 downloads per episode. I'm not in the top 250, I have enough listens to, but for some reason iTunes hates me. I don't know why they used to love me. I was in the top 10 lists for two years and then they slapped me and they won't even listen to the directory and that sucks. But my podcasts still gets insane amounts of downloads. Even if you get into a podcast, it's like 250 or 500 or maybe something listed. It does not matter. It just matters that you're getting out there. You're going to find your voice, you're going to find your message and find the hooks, the angles, this is your time to learn and present and be able to figure out what it is you're selling, how to sell all those intricacies of your message will be learned during this podcast circuit. Then like I said, even if you're in smaller podcasts, they may have 500 people or so, if you have some of those 500 people are their best buyers, their best listeners, people are connected. If I was starting over from scratch, that's what I would do. In fact, if you watched the launch for mastermind.com with, with Dean and Tony. Dean literally did 60 podcasts interviews to launch that thing. That's how we launched initially. First steps 60 podcasts interviews. When a Tony Robbins launch Money Master the game. 220 interviews in podcasts, radio ad TV before any paid ads. When traffic secrets books comes out, guess what I'll be doing first? The podcast circuits, it is where I would begin with so while you are buying ads and trying to figure that out because again the ad part is going to be frustrated and you're going to lose momentum if it doesn't hit initially and I do not want, I need you guys lose the momentum. You need to be running as fast as you can. Every one of you guys. What you need to be doing right now is going into the podcast directories, building your dream 100 and contact him saying, "Hey" and don't mass email them all. "Hey everyone put me into podcast." Listen to each of their podcasts and then put in the time and the effort. I listen to a ton of podcasts because I want to make sure that when I get on the show with the podcast host I don't look like an idiot. I be like, "Hey dude, I listen to your podcast is awesome. My favorite episode, when you interviewed so and so. That was super cool." Hey, by the way, I've got a really cool message. If you want, I love to be on the podcast, I could talk about this, this and this. Those are the ones people returned your calls. There you go. Podcast is it. It's like the secret nest of the best buyers on the Internet are all sitting there, plugged in listening to stuff every single day. The best thing about podcast hosts, almost all of them are craving content. They're looking for people to interview. It's not hard to get on their shows. You just got to have an interesting story and then pitch the story to them. Even if I was trying to get on TV, I'd be like, "Hey, put me on the news tonight." Like why? Because I can tell you three things about how to blah, blah. Justin for you, you've got so much street credit already. Just be like, "Hey, I'm going to show you guys how to land auditions, the struggles I had, I'm going to tell you guys behind the scenes of how I got an American idol and then how I got the Dr Pepper commercial." That's an interesting interview. Anyone would be like, "Oh my gosh, that'd be amazing." It wouldn't just be... There's so many categories that would fit underneath. It's not just one category in iTunes. There's so many categories and you can be on 30, 50 interviews and next 30 days if you just went out there, start hitting the circuits, contacting them, listening to them, listen to part of someones podcasts, message them directly. "Hey, love your podcast. I love the interview. I think I would love to do a show with you if you'd be interested. Here's some things I can bring the table, the stories I can tell." Like I said, most of these people are craving content and your story, it would be amazing. There you go. Hope that helps you guys. I got to jump. I got an inner circle happening right now. I just wanted to message just before I got started today because I saw justice message. I know he's not the only one struggling with this. A lot of you guys are, and hopefully this gives you as a shortcut, even if you don't have an offer done yet, go hit the podcast circuits. If all you have is a landing page with the opt in form, go and hit the podcast circuits. They are the secret honeypot of buyers. They're sitting there waiting for you. While you're waiting, again Facebook ads, Google ads, YouTube ads, that's the holy grail. It's what we're working towards, we want to get that because we can set, because that's when you guys sit back and like these things running and then making sales for you all day, every single day. Right now, while you're waiting for that to hit, now's the time to do the circuits. I appreciate you guys. Hope it helps. Have an amazing day. And like I said, next week I'm going to start dropping some cool stuff in here for you guys. I'll let you eavesdrop into all the Comma training, so appreciate you, excuse me, all my internal training with my team, so appreciate you guys, have amazing day and we'll talk to you all guys soon. Bye everybody.

On today's episode I share some more insights and recap day 2 of the 2 CCX coaching event here in Boise.  There was one quote in particular that was very profound that I wanted to share with you.  I genuinely believe that the minute a chiropractor truly understands this quote, their business will change forever for the good.
