Millennials think they need a million dollars a year just to feel rich. And honestly? They're not wrong. With inflation crushing everything and home prices through the roof, a million a year is becoming the new baseline for financial freedom. I didn't start as a multi-millionaire twelve years ago. Had to learn this stuff the hard way. But here's what I discovered by studying other self-made millionaires and now looking at billionaires to see what's next. These aren't some theoretical bullshit tips. These are the actual hacks I use every single day. The stuff that separates people who dream about wealth from people who actually build it.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

This woman is absolutely incredible. Lindsey Graham - The Patriot Barbie - is back for her third time on ALL IN. That makes her my only three-time guest ever. And there's a damn good reason for that. Two years ago Lindsey was running a successful salon in Oregon with 25 stylists. Living her dream. Building her business. Then she made one decision that changed everything. She reopened during the lockdowns. Defied the mandates. Stood up for what she believed was right. The government came after her with everything they had. Cancel culture destroyed her career. She lost her entire business. Everything she'd built for 15 years. Gone. But here's what's incredible about this story. She didn't break. She didn't back down. She didn't apologize.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Lindsey: https://patriotbarbie.com/ Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Lindsey: Lindsey is a business owner who opened her salon against the government-mandated closure.

You're drowning in problems right now. I get it. Your desk looks like a war zone. Your mind's spinning in ten different directions. You feel like you're getting pulled everywhere and accomplishing nothing. Here's what's happening. You're trying to solve all your problems at once. That's why you're stuck. That's why nothing gets done. When you try to handle everything simultaneously you solve absolutely nothing. The solution is simple but not easy. Prioritize and execute. One problem at a time. Detach from the chaos so you can gain a fresh perspective. Stop letting emotions drive your decisions. Start saying "I got it" to one thing instead of panicking about everything. Your overwhelm isn't because you have too many problems. It's because you're approaching them wrong. Time to shift your focus and get after it.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

Take a good look at who you are today because this isn't who you were 5 years ago. Be grateful for that change even if you think your life is worse right now. You've gained wisdom. You've grown. You've learned things that are shaping your decisions today. But who are you going to be 5 years from now? That's what we're diving into. I'm sharing the five critical things that are actively shaping your future right now: the books you read, the people you surround yourself with, the habits you form, the food you eat, and the conversations you have. These aren't small factors. These are the foundations that determine everything about your future self. You can either intentionally shape who you'll become or let circumstances mold you into something you don't want to be. Choose wisely. Your future depends on it.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

In this episode of ALL IN, I dive deep into the five most common regrets people experience at the end of their lives and how you can avoid them today. I explore why living true to yourself matters more than meeting others' expectations and why "working too hard" isn't really about work—it's about missing important moments with the people who matter. I share my personal experiences, including turning down a lucrative speaking gig to be present for my kids' 16th birthday, and why expressing your feelings is crucial for authentic relationships.

You want to skyrocket your sales? Listen up. Today I'm dropping the greatest sales hack of all time. I learned this at McDonald's when I was 15 years old working the drive-thru. The magical phrases? "Would you like fries with that?" and "Would you like to supersize it?" This is about the psychology of the upsell at the exact right moment - immediately after someone has already said yes to a purchase. The reason people don't buy from you is because you're not offering. And the reason you don't increase your sales is because you don't upsell after the transaction is already made. I tripled my sales at Geek Squad using this exact method. When a customer already says yes to one thing, they're primed to say yes again. Your job today is to figure out two things: what's your "would you like fries with that?" and what's your "would you like to supersize it?" Do this and watch your business explode.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

In this episode, I break down the right ways to support someone who's going through tough times. Most people jump straight to giving advice or trying to fix things, which usually backfires. I share six specific strategies that will actually help someone feel supported rather than minimized or dismissed. From asking the simple question "How can I support you right now?" to avoiding those bullshit phrases like "everything happens for a reason," these tactics will preserve your energy while genuinely helping others. I also explain why validating someone's perspective is crucial and how practical actions like sending dinner can mean more than words. These methods aren't just about supporting others better—they're about building deeper connections that feel good for everyone involved.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

How many times have you put "write brand values," "update logo," or "redesign website" on your to-do list only to keep moving it to another day, another week, another month, and on and on until it's at the bottom of the list, or deleted altogether?This happens to the best of us. As creatives, we all have so many things on our minds and our to-do lists that it's easy to keep pushing something that doesn't feel as “urgent”. But branding is urgent and important, and if you're reading this, I reckon you know that already!Today, I'm going to share some practical tips on how to finally make progress on your branding, stop relegating it to the bottom of your to-do list, and transform your creative business.–––––––––––WANT MORE?Want your questions answered on the podcast, or be part of an awesome community of creatives supporting each other?

I'm breaking down the only three rules of success in business today. Forget all those "10 commandments" or "5 steps" to success that other gurus pitch. Rule #1: Focus on quality, not price. When you deliver incredible quality, price becomes secondary in your customers' minds. People will figure out how to pay for something if the quality is worth it. Rule #2: Focus on revenue generation, not costs. So many business owners get this backward. While everyone else was cutting costs during the pandemic, I pushed forward with growth and acquisitions. Your job is to put more numbers on the board. Rule #3: Just do rules #1 and #2 consistently. It's that simple. When you focus on these fundamentals, your bank account grows, relationships flourish, and all the small stuff works itself out. The outcome is what matters - deliver that, and everything else falls into place.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

In this episode, I dive into the critical elements of maintaining inner peace during relationship conflicts. I break down why being the first to make a move is so powerful, and how your ego is the only thing standing between you and resolution. It's about having the courage to be the first to apologize (the bravest), the first to forgive (the strongest), and the first to forget (the happiest). These three elements create a formula for eliminating distance when you're in a standoff with someone you love. I challenge you to consider what's more important - your pride or your relationship? When someone needs to be first and nobody's stepping up, why not you?

Have you ever heard people tell you that you need your brand to be personal, and that your audience wants to know and connect with the person behind the brand?Sounds great in theory, right? But how do you know how personal to be? Should you be sharing what you had for breakfast even if it has nothing to do with your work? Or documenting every random thought that pops into your head? Where's the line between relatable and TMI?Here's the thing - yes, people connect with people, that's true. But the "right" amount of personal in your brand is whatever feels authentic to you. If you don't want to share much, forcing it won't work. You need to set those boundaries that make your content feel good to create AND connect with your audience.In this episode, we're exploring how personal your brand really needs to be. You'll learn how to align your sharing style with your brand values, figure out your “why” before hitting that post button, and craft a social media approach that works for YOU, not what others are doing.–––––––––––If you'd like help, feedback, advice, or to hear how other creatives are approaching this so you can feel confident in your content, join us in the Brand Your Passion Collective.

The pain of staying the same has to get worse than the pain of change. This is truth. This is fact. When you're looking at why you can't change or why you tolerate situations that hurt you, the answer is simple - it doesn't hurt enough yet. Most people see change as this massive painful thing without realizing the pain they're currently in is infinite while the pain of change is temporary. Your choice to stay where you're at right now is allowing the hurt to continue forever. The pain of change? That's just a blink in time. A month. A year. It ends. Then you're free. When you visualize staying in the exact same place years from now, feeling the exact same way, missing out on who you were called to be - that's the true travesty. Turn up the heat on your pain. What you do not hate, you will tolerate. Start hating where you're at right now and you'll finally cross that threshold where real change happens.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

This week's Last Word dives into the ongoing battle between local and state government in Texas, focusing on San Antonio's fight to retain control over its financial future. With Republican lawmakers seeking to tighten their grip on predominantly Democratic cities, proposals like requiring a two-thirds majority for bond approvals loom large, threatening to stall essential capital projects. Bob unpacks the political motivations behind these legislative moves, the implications for San Antonio's infrastructure and community needs, and how state interference stands to hinder progress on issues like poverty, education, and public transit. In an era where local governance is under siege, it's crucial to question: Will San Antonio's leaders succeed in defending home rule, or will state politics overshadow the city's growth and prosperity?

This week's Last Word addresses a pressing local decision San Antonio faces amidst national upheaval. With jobs at risk due to political chaos in Washington, city leaders are contemplating hiring displaced federal workers. While the intention is noble, the reality presents tough choices—maintain fiscal discipline or succumb to political theater by expanding the city payroll unsustainably. Bob analyzes the balance San Antonio must strike: the importance of fiscal restraint during economic uncertainty, the role of the city council in avoiding patronage politics, and the limitations of initiatives like the Ready to Work program in aiding white-collar federal employees. As San Antonio navigates these turbulent times, the question looms: Can the city provide relief without compromising its financial stability, or will it spiral into impractical solutions? Tune in for a candid look at governance, economic challenges, and the path forward for San Antonio. -- --

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about a recent challenging period that tested my mental fortitude while preparing for Reach Out's public offering. For about a month, between mid-February and mid-March, I experienced intense pressure that made my dreams seem distant and foggy. I share how asking myself "What's one thing I can do today?" became my lifeline during this time of uncertainty. The fog started to clear as I celebrated small wins and gained momentum, leading to a profound moment of clarity where I realized "Yesterday was the end of everything, today is the beginning of what's happening now." I also reveal a touching story about receiving a "Billionaire in the Making" shirt from my board member Darren Jackson, and how rediscovering it reminded me of my purpose and the importance of believing in your dreams even when they seem impossible.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

Sales Mastery & The Infinite Game with David Weiss Episode Summary:  David Weiss explores the mindset, habits, and strategies that set top sales professionals apart. From intentional career development to enterprise sales best practices, David shares invaluable insights for sales leaders and professionals looking to elevate their game. Recorded: August 2020 Key Takeaways: The Path to Sales Success: David's journey into sales highlighted the importance of intentionality and learning from early failures. His experience underscored the necessity of structured training and development in sales. Sales as a Professional Sport: Treating a sales career like that of a professional athlete, dedicating time to practice, continuous learning, and skill refinement, is crucial for sustained success. Breaking Sales Stereotypes: Sales is often misunderstood as an “expensive dark art.” Leaders must see beyond outdated perceptions and recognize the value of structured, professional selling. The Power of Mentorship: Learning from great leaders, and understanding the lessons from ineffective ones, can shape a successful sales career. David shares impactful mentorship experiences that influenced his growth. Business Acumen for Sales Success: Sales leaders must ensure their teams understand finance, operations, marketing, and legal aspects to be effective beyond just the sales process. Customer-Centric Selling: Sales isn't the start or end of the customer journey, it's a part of a broader experience. Leaders should foster a customer-first mindset across the organization. Effective Sales Onboarding: The best onboarding programs prioritize organizational understanding, relationship-building, and the sales process before diving into product knowledge. Enterprise Sales Mastery: Success in enterprise sales requires experience in internal negotiations, multi-threading, stakeholder management, and long sales cycles. Recruiting Top Enterprise Sales Talent: Hiring should focus on candidates with extensive enterprise experience or deep domain expertise. Key attributes include curiosity, relationship-building, and a willingness to challenge the status quo. The Habits of High-Performing Salespeople: Self-motivation, thorough research, problem-solving, planning, and organization are critical to sales excellence. The Daily Discipline of Prospecting: Even with large deals in progress, maintaining account coverage and prospecting daily prevents commoditization. Predicting Sales Success Early: The first 30-60 days of a new hire often indicate future success. Engagement, learning, and pipeline-building should be closely monitored. Always Be Recruiting: Sales leaders should proactively build a bench of candidates to avoid reactive hiring, as vacant sales roles are costly. Pre-Onboarding for Faster Ramp-Up: Sharing territory lists and facilitating early relationship-building can accelerate a new hire's productivity. Internal Alignment is Crucial: Enterprise sales success depends on preparation and alignment among all internal stakeholders. Sales should be treated like a well-rehearsed concert. Leveraging Partners for Success: Partners play a vital role in enterprise sales. Engaging them early and aligning with their goals enhances collaboration. The Infinite Game in Sales: A long-term mindset focused on relationships, brand-building, and collaboration leads to sustained success, rather than short-term wins. From Transactions to Relationships: The best salespeople prioritize lifetime customer value over one-off deals, genuinely seeking to help their clients. Managing the Challenges of a New Role: New sales hires should pace themselves, focus on incremental growth, and redefine what success looks like in the early days. The Role of Sales Managers: Managers must understand individual team members' needs and provide support in today's changing sales landscape. Structured 120-Day Onboarding: A well-planned onboarding roadmap should sequence learning appropriately, build foundational knowledge, and provide clear performance metrics. First Impressions Matter: New hires evaluate their organization and leaders early on. Providing strong support, feedback, and guidance is essential to retaining top talent. Effective Sales Leadership: Great sales managers hire strong talent, support their teams, and remove obstacles rather than micromanage or rescue struggling reps. Coaching Through Experience: Sales leaders should let reps lead customer meetings and learn through experience rather than taking over. Rethinking Traditional Marketing: Instead of ineffective traditional approaches, businesses should focus on a strong website aligned with customer pain points and leverage user-generated content.

This week's Last Word examines Texas' growing education funding crisis. Despite a record state budget surplus, public schools—especially in San Antonio—are being left behind.

Bob breaks down the legal and moral responsibility Texas has to fund its schools, the ongoing standoff in Austin, and what it means for students, parents, and educators in San Antonio. With public education at a crossroads, now is the time to ask: Will Texas finally step up, or will politics once again leave our schools behind?

In this fired-up episode, I dive deep into the concept of "just f*cking start" - the radical idea that waiting for perfect conditions is just procrastination in disguise. I share personal stories from building my cybersecurity company 12 years ago when I had nothing but determination, including being 90 days behind on my mortgage while still investing in an iPad for my business image. Looking back at almost 300 episodes of this podcast and the incredible opportunities now coming my way, I reflect on how the dream only stops when the dreamer stops dreaming. I emphasize that starting something meaningful is always going to be difficult, whether it's fitness, business, or pursuing personal goals - but the key is to push through until you reach the point where you can't stop because you're in the rhythm. My message to you is clear: let go of regrets, excuses, and baggage - they're just reasons not to move forward. The time to start is NOW.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

In this episode of ALL IN, I dive into a question I get asked all the time – what's the best age to give your kids a phone? I share my unconventional approach of giving all my kids their first iPhone at age 7 and the reasoning behind this decision. Initially, it was about safety and communication when they traveled alone to meet me on business trips, creating special one-on-one moments like visiting the Kennedy Space Center with my son or taking my daughter to see the dolphins at Clearwater Marine Aquarium. But the unexpected benefit has been the incredible memories captured from their perspective – videos and photos I never would have seen otherwise, giving me insight into their world. I address the judgment I've received from other parents and explain my philosophy of exposing kids to technology early in a controlled environment while maintaining important boundaries (like no devices at the dinner table and open-door policies for video calls with the opposite sex). Ultimately, this approach has helped my kids develop a healthy, mature relationship with technology that many adults still struggle with today.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

In today's episode, I'm diving into something we all struggle with—over-explaining ourselves and managing other people's emotions. We've all been there, right? Trying to justify our decisions, explain ourselves to everyone, and constantly think we need to make sure people see us in a good light. But here's the truth—that's a drain. You don't need to explain every move, especially when you're doing it out of good intentions. Instead, learn to distinguish who deserves your energy, your explanations, and your answers. This episode is about freeing yourself from people-pleasing and saving your energy for what really matters—being the best version of yourself.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN
