This week's episode is a special interview with the late Dave Woodward, previously CEO of ClickFunnels. I'm bringing it back because it's so packed with great do's and don'ts about how to deploy an effective Dream 100 strategy. For those that don't know, that's the fastest, least expensive way to double sales. It helped Clickfunnels grow to $100 million in 4 years. Dave breaks down some of the most clever direct mail pieces he's ever received, how they used it to get a best selling book, and using Joint Ventures to dominate his market in a very short period of time. If you're a fan of Dream 100, you'll love this interview as much as I do. ------------------------- Want to STOP overworking and START generating more revenue with less stress?

Making Bank: Remake Series #MakingBank #S7E21 This is a flashback episode in loving memory of Dave Woodward at Making Bank. Rest In Eternal Peace dear friend.   On today's episode of Making Bank, we have Dave Woodward, CRO of ClickFunnels. He graduated from Brigham Young University. He became a regional director of Marico, a local Texas firm, which he took national in just two years. Dave then founded Monopolize Inc. A direct response marketing agency focused on financial services and the real estate industry. But he recognized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when he met Russell Brunson and Todd Dickerson, the two founders of ClickFunnels back in 2014 when the company was just a startup. For Dave, it was never about the title of CEO, it's about results, and in addition to his CEO duties, Dave is the energetic host of the Wiley Popular podcast, ClickFunnels Radio.   He has a true gift for making his guests feel right at home so it's no wonder he gets some of the savviest business owners and self-starters on the planet to share never before revealed sales and marketing secrets on every show. Dave is first and foremost a devoted husband, family man, and avid adrenaline junkie.   Listen till the end. A lot of valuable information is unpacked by Dave Woodward. (2:21) The Beginning Of ClickFunnels Dave talks about having a mortgage business that crashed in 2008 through 2012, which he managed to get out of when he was approached for startup training by Russell and Todd. This was the beginning of his regaining his business life and one thing led to another till eventually, ClickFunnels became successful.   (5:56) Challenges Faced Dave explains how the first initial moments they faced a huge crisis when their database went down. They were all worried and did not know what to do but eventually, they managed to fix the problem, and throughout it all, they were transparent to their customers. They let them know what the issue was and it was eventually fixed and they were up and running again.   (10:47) Ups And Downs Of ClickFunnels Dave talks about how they started facing problems because many of the customers wanted more and better support and they were not able to provide that to them. But as they grew more and more they got better with it and now even have phone support, chat support, and social media support.   (15:21) Our Employees Are Special Dave talks about the main reason for ClickFunnels doing so well was because everyone who worked there is treated specially. They give them special employee treatment, whether it's giving out gifts or bonuses, everything was unique and was only exclusive to a ClickFunnels employee and this was what gave them success.    (22:18) Biggest Change  The biggest change they had to undergo was bringing new things that were outside the company to improve. They kept looking for new ways, and new methods of improving and kept working hard at them at the same time not compromising any of the methods that already exist. This change brought them the biggest improvement and it helped the company grow so much.   (27:48) Biggest Motivator Dave's number one motivator was the fact that he loves his job so much. He loves being an entrepreneur and was just so passionate about it. That was what drove him the most and made him one of the greatest people and businessmen in life.    Links mentioned: Instagram: @daveswoodward

Welcome to the How To Think podcast, the show where we dissect the inner workings of the human mind and learn how to achieve anything in business or in life. By changing the way we think. We bring on some amazing entrepreneurs, authors, thought leaders, and people that just know how to think and get stuff done. And today we have an amazing guest. Amanda, how you doing? Amanda Holmes.  Amanda Holmes (00:00:39): I can't wait. It's such a good intro.  Dan Henry (00:00:41): Thank you so much. So, so real quick, I'll do you know, I'm not much for intros, right? But you know, you are the CEO of Chet Holmes International, and Chet Holmes is your father. Who wrote, of course, the amazing; one of the most amazing sales books ever The Ultimate Sales Machine. The originator of what a lot of people now use quite a bit to grow their company, The Dream 100.  Amanda Holmes (00:01:09): Yes.  Dan Henry (00:01:09): And all that jazz, all that cool stuff. You've, and to be fair, you took over the company at 24.  Amanda Holmes (00:01:19): Yes.  Dan Henry (00:01:19): You doubled sales year after year. We're going to get into all that. But the first question that I have to ask you is, did you play all the instruments on When Grapes Turn Into Wine?  Amanda Holmes (00:01:34): No.  Dan Henry (00:01:35): You didn't. Okay. Well, definitely you definitely sang beautiful. You wrote the song. You played it. So I'm a guitar player. You know, that we talked about that before we went live and I listened to it. I thought it was great. Good production. Did you play, other than vocals? Did you do anything on it?  Amanda Holmes (00:01:53): No. Well, you  Dan Henry (00:01:54): Well, you wrote the whole thing. That's pretty darn good. Amanda Holmes (00:01:57): So I was a gymnast first, and then in my junior year of high school, I thought, oh, maybe I'll do singing. And then by senior year I already had my first record. And then in college I had four records, but all of the people around me were like amazing musicians. I went to USC Thornton, school of music. So it's like top. You either go to NYU or you go to USC or Berkeley school of music. So they were the best. And I looked around and went, I've only been doing this two years. I think this might be good if you guys play and I'll just sing and write.  Dan Henry (00:02:30): Well, that's fair. That's like knowing your role, knowing, staying in your lane, you know. That's amazing. That's amazing. So let's go back to cause a lot of people, you know, have read this book, which is again an amazing book. And I also believe a lot of people haven't read it and they've heard of it. You know how many people they say I'm going to read a book and then that book becomes a paperweight, you know? But a lot of people do know what The Dream 100 is, which, you want to play game?  Amanda Holmes (00:03:05): Absolutely.  Dan Henry (00:03:06): Let's play a game. Okay. So I'm going to explain to you what I think The Dream 100 is based on, you know, my limited understanding and what probably most people understand it as. Very, very like primal, very simple version. And then you're just going to tell me how stupid I am and how bad, how wrong I had it and that I'm going to get amazing value out of that. Trust me. So let's and by the way, before I get into this, I think a lot of people need to know your company has trained over 240,000 CEOs. And the main, I mean, I know you guys help with a lot, but the main thing is to increase sales.  Amanda Holmes (00:03:46): Yes. 12 core competencies on doubling sales.  Dan Henry (00:03:48): 12 core competencies on doubling sales. And would you say one of them is The Dream 100, or at least that's one, one of them is Dream 100.  Amanda Holmes (00:03:54): Yes.  Dan Henry (00:03:54): Okay. So let me sort of see if I can jump into this and okay. So The Dream 100 is where you find somebody that you want to sell to usually a big fish, right? Yeah. You just like, maybe it's the CEO of a company or whatever, and you research them and you figure out what they're into. You know, maybe they're into fishing, maybe they're into Marvel, I don't know, whatever. And then you send them this really amazing gift. It's either going to be really expensive or really thoughtful or both. And you get their attention because nobody opens a letter, but they always open a package. And they look at the gift, maybe it's a laptop. And then when they open it up, you're like, Hey, whatever. And then they go, well, who the hell sent me this? You know? And then they look at it and it opens up the conversation. And if you're clever enough, you can at least establish contact with somebody that you normally could never get past the gatekeeper. Am I somewhat on the same? Somewhat in the ballpark?  Amanda Holmes (00:04:53): Yes. Yeah.  Dan Henry (00:04:56): Okay. So that's essentially, I mean, obviously there's a fine art to it.  Amanda Holmes (00:04:59): Okay, so it's the fastest least expensive way to double sales because there's always a smaller number of better buyers than there are all buyers. So marketing and selling to them is cheaper than marketing, selling to all buyers. So how do you find that dream; my father called it The Dream 100. It could be The Dream One.  Dan Henry (00:05:14): Sure.  Amanda Holmes (00:05:15): I just recently saw a client of ours. They were at 60 million, they had 950 clients that produced that 60 million, but 900, I'm sorry, 969 clients 950 of which produced only 9% of their revenue. So 13 of their clients produce 91% of their revenue. So instead of going after another 900, they only led an intensive effort to one client. And that one client produced them a hundred million dollars.  Dan Henry (00:05:44): The big fish.  Amanda Holmes (00:05:46): And they doubled sales with one client.  Dan Henry (00:05:49): And that, that comes back to using the right bait and being in the right waters.  Amanda Holmes (00:05:52): Absolutely. Yeah. You did a good job of picking out some of the great things about it. So my father did it with lumpy mail and that's kind of progressed over time. There's also ways to do it on social. There's also ways to write, just being the bright spot in their day, adding value, being something of interest to them. So lumpy mail is one of those ways that we do.  Dan Henry (00:06:12): So I actually, you know, Russell Brunson, he invited me last year to speak at his conference. FHL and so I got to speak in front of like, I don't know, whatever. It was five to 6,000 people. And of course when people bought my stuff.  Amanda Holmes (00:06:26): Awesome.  Dan Henry (00:06:26): We probably did at least $2 million from that. So I was very thankful. So I was thinking to myself, well, for some, I don't know how I stumbled into this, where he asked me to speak, but I was like, I never sent him a gift, a Dream 100 gift. So I was like, let me retroactively do that because I don't think anybody does that. So I got him a Yoda, a life-size Yoda. Cause I know he's super into star wars. His kids are super into star wars. So I, and this was like right after this was Corona.  Dan Henry (00:06:54): So it was like, it took forever to get this fricking Yoda over to him. And they accidentally shipped it to me first. So they shipped it to me. So then I like put a, so then, you know, I got to like deal with that. And it's like this freight thing at my house. And so I put like a little note in and I bought like, RussellsYoda.com. And I was just like, listen, this is just me saying, retroactively Dream one hundreding you and saying, thank you for letting me speak at your stage because we had a lot of money. So I sent him that and he was very grateful, but I just thought, I was like, oops, I probably should've sent him something first. And I, cause I go back to that book and I'm like, you know what, let me see if I can like, correct this. So  Amanda Holmes (00:07:36): I love that story. That's so good. But it's also interesting. So my father, when he originally did it, he wanted to spend the least amount of money possible. Like he would get the stupidest little, like one time. I remember the day he found OrientalTrading.com. You can order lots of random, like a Rubik's Cube...  Dan Henry (00:07:53): I remember that. I remember that magazine be careful though. It's 2021. We may not be able to say that anymore. But, but no, I remember that magazine. Yeah.  Amanda Holmes (00:08:02): So that year we got 300 presents for Christmas because my dad went on OrientalTrading.com and bought the most ridiculous amount of things.  Dan Henry (00:08:12): He didn't go cheap on toilet paper, did he?  Amanda Holmes (00:08:13): Oh, he was, he would not buy anything brand, you know, designer, anything we got knock, I don't know about toilet paper. He wasn't buying our toilet paper. It was our assistant.  Dan Henry (00:08:24): Okay. Yeah, because there's some things you don't go cheap on. Heart surgery and toilet paper, Just saying, you know.  Amanda Holmes (00:08:32): So he was always about how do I find the cheapest things? It's just about changing that dynamic. But what it's evolved to now is because we have so much more ability to understand who a person is because they put everything online. Now we can get better about giving them something that would really mean something to them because he created it 30 years ago. Right. He was doing it 15 years ago. He passed nine years ago. And between the last nine years now we share everything on the internet. So you can be much more tactical about that.  Dan Henry (00:09:02): Let me, let me ask you kind of a, if you don't mind, it's a somewhat personal question.  Amanda Holmes (00:09:08): Happens all the time, yes, please.  Dan Henry (00:09:10): Look I remember when I was 24, right? I was, I was driven, you know, I didn't really get really driven till I was like 28. But I was, you know, I was being 24. I was, you know, drinking, going out, smoking weed, going to concerts.  Amanda Holmes (00:09:29): Were you at the pizza? You were running the pizza place at that time?  Dan Henry (00:09:31): Yeah. I mean, it was cheap weed, but you know, I mean, I was, you know, I was going to SevenDust concerts and I was hanging out and I was just being, you know, I mean, I was still trying to build my business and I didn't really have business then, but I was still trying to like figure things out. I had a couple of businesses that came and went, you know, but I was, I was being 24. I got started a little late. I wasn't that like 18 year old kid who was like, I'm going to be a millionaire. Like I said that, but it was like, yeah, I'll be a millionaire, but I wasn't really putting the effort in. At 24 to take over, not just a company, but a legendary company; a company that, I mean, it's not Joe, the rags man's fricking lemonade stand, you know, it's Chet Holmes International, legendary. I mean, what, I mean, how did you feel filling those shoes quickly like that and stepping into that role? Or were you already kind of in that, you know, or did you like hop off the party bus and go right into it?  Amanda Holmes (00:10:34): I was never so good at partying, I was very focused always, but I was a musician at that point. So my father got diagnosed with leukemia and he didn't spend one night in the hospital alone for a year and a half. It was between me, my mother and my brother. And he would have night sweats. So we'd be up all night with him and all of that year and a half, never once did he sit me down and say, these are my companies, these are what they, this is what they do. These are the people that run them. This is what I want for my companies. Right? None of that, we were just spending time together. Yeah. And there was no plan for that whatsoever. Like I'm sure my dad, if he were still here, he'd be like you did what? It would be pretty odd.  Dan Henry (00:11:16): So he didn't even expect you to do this?  Amanda Holmes (00:11:17): No, there was no plan for it.  Dan Henry (00:11:19): Did you just kick the door down and say, listen, Amanda is in charge now.  Amanda Holmes (00:11:25): Well, it puts things in perspective because for a year and a half, every day was Chet's going to die. This is what's going on. You know, it was life or death every day in the hospital with him and trying to find an alternative for him. So that was my context to then coming into this. Right? Well, well, so a, when things got even as difficult as they were, I'm like at the end of the day, nobody is dying. Like our business, like the worst that could happen is that I lost my father. Like that to me was the worst. So that had already happened. So whatever happens here, we can work it out. Right?  Dan Henry (00:12:03): Now, hold on a second. That's an amazing way to think about it.  Amanda Holmes (00:12:06): It's an important thing.  Dan Henry (00:12:07): I think a lot of people, whether they're entrepreneurs, whether they're authors, whether there's thought leaders, whether they want to be a sports star, whether they want to be a famous, whatever it is, if they want to achieve some sort of success, they, you know, a lot of times it's all about the meaning that we associate with events, how we define events and how we redefine events. So, you know, you being able to, some, another person may completely have a different definition of that. You know what I mean? But you gave it a definition that ended in a positive result. I mean, how important do you think that is?  Amanda Holmes (00:12:41): Absolutely. So I had looked to hire three different CEOs. I hired CMOs, CTOs, CFOs, just trying to fill the void. That was my father. I mean, he wasn't working in the day to day for years. Obviously it was all the sales team and there was a whole...  Dan Henry (00:12:56): So he was already out?  Amanda Holmes (00:12:56): Yeah, yeah. I mean, he was mostly just the direct reports would report to the CEO and the CEO would report to my father. So it wasn't like anything would really change. It was just like, as if a body no longer had a heart, it was just void of that, that founder. Right. So I'm trying to find all these different pieces to fill that, that hole. And I actually climbed Kilimanjaro. I went on the CEO retreat where it was like...  Dan Henry (00:13:22): The mountain?  Amanda Holmes (00:13:22): Yeah, yeah.  Dan Henry (00:13:24): Okay. Wow. I, well now I feel inferior. My, my best story is like, you know, going on a brisk walk  Amanda Holmes (00:13:34): I'm sure you have great stories.  Dan Henry (00:13:35): Not on Kilimanjaro.  Amanda Holmes (00:13:37): So it was one of my staff. We were at an event and it was actually a business mastery and he goes, you know, Amanda, I'm about to climb the largest freestanding mountain in the world. It's in Africa. I think you'd actually have a fun time. You should come. And I went, okay.  Dan Henry (00:13:53): It's whatever, sure let's do it. Yeah. Let's light ourselves on fire while we're at. It's fine.  Amanda Holmes (00:13:58): It was very bizarre, my thoughts were not really quite clear at that time. So Friday I get home, Saturday and Sunday, I buy all my equipment. Cause I'd never hiked that, anything before Monday I'm in Africa. And the first two days I am literally dying because it turns out that what's difficult about climbing is that people that smoke cigarettes, they have an easier time because your ability to breathe is restricted.  Dan Henry (00:14:27): Wow.  Amanda Holmes (00:14:29): Yeah. So Olympic athletes could have a hard time with altitude sickness because they're not used to not having breath. Whereas you look at me, my background, I was a singer. So I learned breath control like massively, right. I am certified yoga instructor. So I know breath so much.  Dan Henry (00:14:45): I wonder how many mountain climbers are going to start smoking now they've heard that.  Amanda Holmes (00:14:50): I'm sure they know it. I mean, you really have to practice it. So I was terrible from day one. I could barely get up that freaking mountain. And I shared, We were around a campfire the second night and I go, guys, I hate to break it to you. But I've realized that I hate hiking.  Dan Henry (00:15:09): I love how direct you were, and in such an eloquent way,  Amanda Holmes (00:15:14): They all looked at me like I was literally crazy. Cause they all had it on their bucket list for years. Right? Their lifetime.  Dan Henry (00:15:20): You like, you're crazy. The people that are climbing this mountain, but you're crazy. Got it.  Amanda Holmes (00:15:25): Well, because I hadn't thought it through. And I'm like, I hadn't really thought this through. I realized I hate hiking and I didn't know how I was going to get up that mountain literally. Yeah. I didn't know how I would do it. So then something clicked in me that I realized, oh, maybe I don't have to hike. Maybe I could just dance because I love to dance. And I love music. I've always been a dancer along with my music.  Dan Henry (00:15:47): What kind?  Amanda Holmes (00:15:49): I studied salsa, pretty intensively. Hip hop. I grew up on hip hop, like eight years of hip hop. So instead, now I'm sitting there and I'm like, either I changed my mind frame about this or I'm going to have to give up and I will not freaking give up on this. Right. So then I start singing. I have this personal,  Dan Henry (00:16:10): I'm just imagining you singing and dancing up this mountain. And I just said they were crazy. I retract.  Amanda Holmes (00:16:17): Well, no, no, no. So, I just recently written the song and it goes, forget the heavy load. So it had a really, really slow beat. So nobody could tell that I was dancing, but my head was going and nobody could hear me because I had all these masks on, right, cause it was really cold, but I'm singing my song and I'm moving my head and this is my mantra and it got me through the thing.  Dan Henry (00:16:42): I'm so wishing I brought a guitar right now because you have the mic. Wow. That sounded amazing. Did you sound that amazing when you were going up the mountain?  Amanda Holmes (00:16:52): Absolutely not, no.  Dan Henry (00:16:57): Oh man. That's incredible.  Amanda Holmes (00:16:59): But to circle it back, just to finish, the point is that change in my mind frame helped me to come back. And that's when I stepped in as CEO and said, okay, I'm going to do this. That was really a pivotal point because I also couldn't get up alone. I had to have help two African men, one by the name of Donut, that like assisted me when my eyes were rolling to the back of my head. I like literally couldn't walk. There was a guy that had died that day and was like, his body was laying all this.  Dan Henry (00:17:28): Oh yeah, that's fantastic. This is, what event is this? I'm going to put it on my do not go list.  Amanda Holmes (00:17:32): Yeah, every time people are like, I'm thinking about it. I'm like, yeah, I would never do that again. But it shifted my belief system around what I could do in my business. So I walked back and said, I didn't walk back. I flew back to the United States, and I said, let's do this. So that was a big point.  Dan Henry (00:17:49): So you redefined the problem. You found a way I can just hear like Jeff, Goldbloom saying life finds a way. You found a way to get up that mountain by channeling something that you loved. Because I mean, would you agree that if you're in a positive state of mind, if you're in, I mean, how often would you, you know let's say you're on your way to dinner and you're having a fantastic dinner with a friend or a significant other or whatever. And then on the way there, somebody like cuts you off, screams at you, like, you know, scrapes your car door, whatever. And you get into this argument, like you're in a bad frame of mind. Do you think that dinner is going to go as smoothly and nicely as if you were just, it's just butterflies and rainbows as you were driving down, right?  Dan Henry (00:18:38): No. So, so like you were in this frame of mind, like, Hey, I can't do this. This is nuts. These people are crazy coming up, Kilimanjaro, dead guy on the side of the fricking mountain, you know, but you had to do it. So you re you redefined it as I'm going to sing. I love to sing and dance. So I'm going to singing, dance my ass up this mountain past all the dead people. So I mean, you know what, it really freaked me out. Is you ever seen a weekend at Bernie's?  Amanda Holmes (00:19:07): No.  Dan Henry (00:19:08): You've never seen weekend at Bernie's? It's a movie where they had, I forget the exact plot, but this guy dies, his name's Bernie and they needed him to do something like right before he died. So they, like, they take him all around town and they're like holding him up and he's like this and they're like moving his arm. It was ridiculous movie, but I was just seeing you up the side of the mountain and singing and dancing. And then the dead guy on the mountain just starts doing this. I'm sorry. I smoke entirely too much weed. Okay. So, so, so, so here's the question. You went back, you, you took over Chet Holmes international. What's the first thing you did?  Amanda Holmes (00:19:56): Well, even before that, I would say the first thing I did was listen. So I think a lot of people, especially if you're changing positions or you're coming into a company and you just kind of say, here's what we're going to do, nobody will respect you. So I started by listening and asking lots of questions and the more questions I asked, the more they kept saying, oh, ask more questions. You're onto this. Right? You're understanding what's going on here. So I would say before that that's a predecessor.  Dan Henry (00:20:23): So you, you weren't that classic, like a Richie Rich, Macaulay Culkin, or whatever that walks in and just takes over and you know, like puts his feet up on the desk, like, all right guys, it's my company now.  Amanda Holmes (00:20:35): Absolutely not.  Dan Henry (00:20:37): Got it. That's good to know.  Amanda Holmes (00:20:40): And then I also think so I study under an Indian Saint. She's actually not too far from here. Her full title is [inaudible]. But I call her Guruji.  Dan Henry (00:20:55): I'm going to need to write that down.  Amanda Holmes (00:20:57): Yes, it's a good one. So I study under her and she just kept saying that if you come from service, that's the most important thing you can do. And if you can be a conduit of something positive, then you'll get through all of it. So that was really, it's not about me. It's not about the fact that I'm a 25, I think. So I stepped in as CEO at 26. So for a year and a half, I really looked around, tried to hire different people, and scrambled to find some kind of solution.  Dan Henry (00:21:26): So what was your role from 24 to 26?  Amanda Holmes (00:21:28): I was chairwoman.  Dan Henry (00:21:31): Ah, so kind of like, it was, it was just...  Amanda Holmes (00:21:35): A complimentary title.  Dan Henry (00:21:35): Right, right. Gotcha. Was there problems that you needed to solve?  Amanda Holmes (00:21:42): Absolutely.  Dan Henry (00:21:43): I mean, there's always problems you need to solve, but there were, was there something fundamentally that you deep down in your core knew that you wanted to change direction or you wanted to fix, or you wanted to, to grow?  Amanda Holmes (00:21:52): At that time it was just, you know, everything's on fire. We need to solve some serious issues. Like, so I stepped in a CEO. The week that I stepped in our merchant services stopped paying payroll. So like hundreds of people aren't able to pay and they're like, Amanda there's a merchant services have shut down. I'm like, what's a merchant services?  Dan Henry (00:22:18): No way.  Amanda Holmes (00:22:18): Same week, same week they come back and they go, so Amanda, we've spent half a million dollars to implement Salesforce. We haven't turned it on yet and we're thinking maybe we shouldn't, what do you think? I'm like, what Salesforce? You know, what is a CRM system? So  Dan Henry (00:22:35): You had to get acclimated real quick. Huh?  Amanda Holmes (00:22:37): My CFO used to always say baptism by fire.  Dan Henry (00:22:40): Okay. I still don't know what Salesforce is to be quite honest with you. I still don't get it.  Amanda Holmes (00:22:45): Well, 88% of companies hate their CRM systems. So it's okay. Even if you did know, you probably wouldn't like it.  Dan Henry (00:22:51): I hate that acronym. So just overall, I'm just like, just give me your email. We'll figure it out.  Dan Henry (00:23:05): I'm clearly joking. I'm clearly joking. This is what I like to say. And then my team is like, no, Dan, we have dah, dah, dah. And I'm like, yeah yeah yeah, I know, but this sounds cooler. It's fine. So,I'm going to do a quick, I'm gonna do a quick pitch. I'm just going to mention that our sponsor is us. So if you're interested to get daily success mentoring go to HowToThink.com and sign up. So that was our message from our sponsor. Yay. So, let me ask you a question. Is the Dream 100, that whole method, is that still the primary thing that drives Chet Holmes International? Or do you guys, do you have something different or have you taken a different direction or is that still the thing that you, is like the core?  Amanda Holmes (00:23:59): So we have 12 core competencies to double sales. That's just one of them. And it's, it's amazing how much this has been timeless. Right? So when I first decided I'm going to rewrite the book, right? Penguin was like, write the book, we get so many sales, we should just do a new edition. And I kept saying no. And then finally I'm like, okay, I will do it. And then when I went out on social and I asked, what should I update in the book? Everyone said, don't touch it. It's perfect. That was the response.  Dan Henry (00:24:26): It's like redoing a Pink Floyd song. Like, no, don't, don't, don't do it. Stop pump the brakes. Yeah, I got it.  Amanda Holmes (00:24:33): Very difficult. But so what I realized is that the framework is the same. It's just the ways the mediums in which have changed that need to be adapted and adopted. Right. So dream 100. Yeah. My father talked about faxing phone calls and lumpy mail. Right? Whereas we all know today...  Dan Henry (00:24:51): Can we, can we do. Cause some people may not understand what a lumpy mail is. Can we just define that?  Amanda Holmes (00:24:56): Well, you did as well too, right?  Dan Henry (00:24:58): You probably do it better. So is it, is it mail that, that, you know, is just let themselves go and just doesn't eat right? Or is it...  Amanda Holmes (00:25:09): So lumpy mail, meaning you have something in it. So it makes it a lumpy package.  Dan Henry (00:25:14): Yeah. All right. I just wanted to define the term.  Amanda Holmes (00:25:18): It's not a, not Humpty or lumpy.  Dan Henry (00:25:21): It is sat on a wall. Yeah. Got it.  Amanda Holmes (00:25:25): But today that can look like on social. Right? So I Dream 100'ed Dave Woodward.  Dan Henry (00:25:31): Ah, fantastic guy. Probably the nicest guy that I've ever met. In fact, sometimes I can't be around him too long because it just makes me feel terrible about myself because he's so nice. I'm like, ah, I need to go work on myself,  Amanda Holmes (00:25:44): His whole family. I mean, it's a test to who he is as well as you can tell that just his boys are so wonderful and his wife is so incredible as well. Their unit is wonderful. Yeah. They're great. So when I first met Dave, though, he kind of gave me a cold shoulder and I looked at him and went, oh, or are we not? Is my pig headed discipline and determination gonna kick in cause I have to like be friends with you. So I ended up following up with him. We friended each other on Instagram and I for every single day, for three months, every post he made, I commented on. So he would post, he took a hike and he bought some boots and he showed himself buying some boots. I'm like, I climbed Kilimanjaro and new boots. And I can tell you that that's the worst idea on the face of the planet you have to wear in your boots beforehand.  Amanda Holmes (00:26:31): Cause it will be really painful. Oh, that's nice. I'd get a heart. You know, he made a deal with his son that he couldn't not eat sugar for 24 hours. And I, and he didn't end up breaking eight sugar before 24 hours and he won like $10 or something. And I'm like, ha ha, you should have bet more. That's hysterical. So just little things. So he also posted a picture or a video of him and his wife and his wife is looking at all of these beautiful Christmas lights and she looks so happy. I'm like, Dave, you got to give your wife Christmas lights, like multiple times a year for how happy she is about these Christmas lights. Right? So I am in dialogue with him every single day. Even though he really didn't say much, it was like a heart here. I take screenshots of them, it's hilarious.  Amanda Holmes (00:27:17): But three months in him and Russell reached out to me and say, Hey, we'd like to buy 650 of these books for the, for our Inner Circle and give them to all of our best clients, which was awesome. I mean, five years later I just showed up to Funnel Hacking Live. That's how we met. Right. And everyone knew Ultimate Sales Machine because of that three months of pigheaded discipline and determination to follow up. So that's, that's an example of Dream 100 in today's world. Being that bright spot in their day where you're in their face, in their place, in their space and they can't avoid you. Right. But we still have these 12 core competencies. So it isn't just Dream 100. We're also known a lot for market data and utilizing market data.  Dan Henry (00:27:59): Do you get into sports at all? Boxing, anything like that?  Amanda Holmes (00:28:03): No, I'm sorry.  Dan Henry (00:28:04): Yeah, I went right past that. I just, I just did not turn down the right road. I just thought I was just playing on my phone. Just kept going. Well, the reason I say that is because, you know, what's funny is there have been times where, cause I'm a big like martial arts MMA.  Amanda Holmes (00:28:19): Oh, okay. My father was a fourth degree black belt.  Dan Henry (00:28:21): Oh, okay. Awesome. Awesome. So there was this and this has happened multiple times, but there was you know, I remember seeing Dream Onehundreding in that game. Like there was a, I believe it was Klitschko. I forget the other guy's name. Brandon probably knows it, but it's, it's the guy who's always like what's up champ. What's up champ champ. Do you know the guy I'm talking about Brandon? The boxer.  Brandon (00:28:45): I'd have to look up the name. I know exactly what you're talking about though. Yeah.  Dan Henry (00:28:48): Yeah. So what he would do was so Klitschko, I think I got the right one. He was like the champion. He was trying to get the fight. Right? Because you know, if you want to get a fight with the champ, you gotta, you gotta get the Champ's attention. You can't just say, I want to fight you or you have to be the number one contender.  Dan Henry (00:29:03): Right. But if you're not the number one contender, you got to get the attention. So this dude would literally follow Klitschko everywhere he went. If he was at a restaurant, he would show up with like a megaphone and be like, What's up champ? You gonna take the fight champ? Like right in the restaurant. Or he was, Klitschko was skiing. He came on a speedboat, drove right past him, knocked him off his skis and was like, come on champ, come on. What's up champ. Let's go. You know? And he did this like six or seven times and he finally got the fight and I'm pretty sure he lost, but the point remains, he Dream One hundreded his way into a fight with the champ. Oh  Amanda Holmes (00:29:39): My God. I never heard that before. That's such a good story.  Dan Henry (00:29:43): Don't I don't recommend anybody do that. That was an example. But you know, it's not what I'm saying to do.  Amanda Holmes (00:29:51): But the essence is there. The point is there.  Dan Henry (00:29:52): And that's the thing. Let me ask you a question in life. Cause you know, it's not just about business. I mean, a lot of it is, but some people don't want to be entrepreneurs, but they want to be authors. They want to be singers. They want to be whatever it is, whatever they define as success. Do you think that sometimes people when they try to, and this is the difference between people who get it and people who don't get it. People who succeed, people who don't succeed as they look at the tactics, they look at the surface level stuff, send a piece of mail here, do this. Comment here on social media. And they don't think of the essence. Like, I mean essentially that's what, what Klitschko got Dream One-hundreded and he gave him the fight. And that's the thing is that same, that same essence can be repurposed into a thousand different iterations and applications.  Dan Henry (00:30:45): And in a hundred years it can still be done. In the thousand years it can still be done. We might not have the internet in a thousand years. Maybe we were all just like cyber connected. And I can just be like, give you a compliment by going like whatever. And it's a completely, it's very creepy. But in this extremely creepy future Bing world, you can still Dream 100 people. You can still, sales is still sales. You know, rapport is still rapport. I mean, I'm hoping, unless we're all robots, then that might not be the case. But you see what I'm saying? Like, do you feel that people don't explore that enough? And they just try to rest on the tactics?  Amanda Holmes (00:31:20): Absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, that's also why this has been so timeless and continues to be so timeless is because it's talking about the strategy and whether the tactics or the vehicles that you're using in marketing change. The things that my father talks about, like with advertisements, how much more it converts if you have a person next to a product. Right? So I think of that when I'm doing my Instagram stories, I always make sure I have someone dancing next to an image because I know research shows whether it was 20 years ago or not in, in newspaper advertisements with them showing like a book with a hand and it converts better than a book by itself or someone holding a product. I do the same thing on Instagram because it's understanding the concepts.  Dan Henry (00:32:04): Mm yes. Yes. I think that maybe you'll agree that when you deep dive into that and you don't play gets to me trying to learn tactics or at least relying on tactics, that's your safe zone. You know, oh, if I just learned his tactic and I don't expand my brain any, anywhere past that, I don't push the limits. I don't, I don't push the envelope and watch it bend. That is where you get stuck because you just, you, you build this little box and if the tactic doesn't work or does work or whatever, you stay in that little box and you don't push the box, bend the box, break the box and get out of the box. Would you agree?  Amanda Holmes (00:32:41): Absolutely. When I think of like, so we define marketing as creating top of mind awareness, like that is the whole purpose of marketing is to create top of mind awareness. So that as soon as they say, oh, I need a product or service like yours, you are the first person that they think of. Right? That's the true ability of marketing. Now, when you think of a business trying to do social media, they're like, I just need to do a Facebook post. I just need to do a Facebook post. Remember that the number one thing of any marketing you do is to create the top of mind awareness. So when you feel like, oh, I've only done this many posts, I don't want to do more. Nope. We're creating top of mind awareness. What do I have to do to make that happen? Right. Just like that. Very basic thing. We get lost in the clutter of all the tactics without forgetting. What is the point of what we're doing here?  Dan Henry (00:33:29): I agree. I agree. I have a much more you put it more eloquently than I did. I pretty much just say marketing is to make the sales guy's job easier. You know, like the better your marketing is the less, less less, you know, work you have to do when it comes to sales.  Amanda Holmes (00:33:46): Steve Jobs says it too. Marketing's job is to make sales obsolete. And the number one revenue generating company in the world right now is Apple.  Dan Henry (00:33:55): Of course. And how do you go when you go to an Apple store, what do they do? Do they pitch you? Do they sell you? They don't have to do anything.  Dan Henry (00:34:02): You got to wait in line. You gotta wait in line and then somebody like somebody, like you gotta go see the genius or whatever, you know? And it's, it's very different, very different environment. Yeah. And that's the thing is, is, you know, Steve Jobs, he was such a you know, he was such a brilliant guy. He and I remember there, there was a scene in one of the movies cause he had a movie with David Fessenbender Fastenbender. And then you had another movie with Ashton Kutcher and I believe it was the Ashton Kutcher one. And he was arguing with his engineers and they were saying people who buy computers, they like to switch out their CD ROMs. And they like to be able to replace their RAM. And, and basically what you, Steve jobs said was no computer nerds like to do that.  Dan Henry (00:34:46): People want whatever you tell them to want. And he created, he created that because that's the difference between, and maybe you'll agree. That's the difference between something like Apple and Microsoft, apple does not sell computers. Apple sells creative empowerment, think different. Microsoft sells computers. You go to, you go to, you buy a computer from Microsoft, you're buying a computer. You buy a computer from Apple, you buy into self-expression, you buy into spreading your art. You buy into creativity without the limit of, you know, you know, ease of creativity. You have an identity and you have and that's the difference. And that's why Steve Jobs did such a great job. But on the flip side the man created literally, the highest value tech company ever. And not only that is responsible for changing the way that we live our lives. I mean, think about it.  Dan Henry (00:35:43): I'm sitting here interviewing you. I got a fricking iPhone and an iPad in front of me, you know? And I mean, you want to talk to your family, you message on Facebook or, you know, you sh I mean, literally how we live our lives completely, really does social media, there'd be no social media without the fricking iPhone. You know, it all comes back to that. So he made such an impact. But do you remember, do you remember the story about what he talked about on his death bed? He said I don't remember the exact words, but he basically said it was all not worth it because he spent so much time making that thing great that he didn't spend enough time with his family and his life and he wasn't present enough. And on his deathbed, he regretted every single second of it. And I, I remember hearing that and every single day when I wake up, I try to think of that. And I just close my eyes and I say, I'm Steve Jobs in my bed about to die. And I just realized that none of this matters. How am I going to live my life? So that doesn't happen?  Amanda Holmes (00:36:40): That's really interesting that you bring that up because, so I had an experience with my father, right? 55. He has an empire. He is so successful, right? When he got chemo, he decided I'm going to buy a rolls so that I can drive to my chemo in a Rolls Royce. It's like really dad, really? And he was too nauseated to be able to drive it. So it was mostly me and I always felt so uncomfortable that people always wanted to take pictures. So we would wear hats cause he thought it was hilarious that people would want to take more pictures cause they thought he was a celebrity silly things. But anyways, so we had this moment where we were sitting in the hospital room and he had, so if you get a bone marrow transplant for leukemia, you're, you're quarantined into a room in the hospital and you can't leave for two months.  Amanda Holmes (00:37:27): So imagine my father larger than life. Right? Always dynamic, always out doing things, traveling the world, speaking and now he's confined to this small hospital room. And he was looking out the window and he says to me of all the wealth that I've amassed, it can only buy me the biggest room in this hotel or in this hospital. And I never forgot that because obviously what what's it worth if at the end of the day you can't enjoy it. He died at 55. So a big reason why I did the new edition, my why was because I wanted to give the final encore that my father never got to give. And it was this journey of him understanding himself and having a rich life beyond just what money can buy. So the last nine years, I've really, that's why I study under my guru as well. I there's just so much more to life than just doubling sales.  Dan Henry (00:38:26): Yeah.  Amanda Holmes (00:38:27): It's good that they have to get really far into this interview for me to say that, because normally I talk about sales.  Dan Henry (00:38:33): Well, listen, if they left already, they don't deserve to hear it.  Dan Henry (00:38:38): So we're going to take some callers here in a little bit. I love taking callers. I D I do ask the audience though that no internet marketing talk, that's barred. High-level strategy, only sales, whatever. So actually this is a funny thing is, you know, and I want to ask you this question. I'm very interested to hear this. I, you know, I woke up on it. I mean, I built my first company, or my first successful company, GetClients.com. This internet marketing company, you know, this company, HowToThink.com has nothing to do with internet marketing. And I, you know, I woke up one day and I said, you know, when I, in 10 years from now when I got a little bit more gray coming in, the last thing I want to be known for is internet marketing. You know?  Dan Henry (00:39:25): And I started asking myself like, what do I want to be known for? And, what would people talk to me about? And I kept coming back to thinking, you know? Like, I literally kept saying the word how to think, you know, so my question to you is, you know, your father is known for that book. I mean, I mean, which is a great thing to be known for. You write a book like that, you're going to be known for that book. And he's known for the Dream 100 and he's known for Chet Holmes International. My question to you is 10 years from now, what do you want to be known for? What does Amanda want to be known for?  Amanda Holmes (00:39:58): It's an interesting concept because I've spent a lot of time. So I, in pursuit of fulfillment, I shaved my head for five years. It was bald.  Dan Henry (00:40:16): Yeah. Thought it was Brittany, but no, Nope. It's Amanda.  Amanda Holmes (00:40:22): I didn't have a Cray Cray Brittany moment, but I did have a couple hundred staff all looking around going, what are you doing? And I'm like the amount of weight on my shoulders of the expectations of others and what they thought was dictating what I would make as my decisions moving forward. And I didn't want that. And my guru even said, if you want to release yourself of those expectations and be the best version of you and make those decisions based on your own independent logic, then this is a good practice to try. So I shaved. So I finally, for years I like got up the courage and I finally shaved my head and I loved it so much. I kept it shaved for five years and it was really this commitment to myself to be the best version of myself and to find that fulfillment within me without needing that from exterior people. And it's, it's an ongoing process. Like sometimes I'm better than other times, but that has been a serious undertaking to feel that burst of life that comes from me and me alone. So when you ask, what are you want to be known for? I don't want to be known for anything. I want to feel rejuvenated. I want to feel alive. I want to feel that I'm making an impact based on what I resonate with rather than...  Dan Henry (00:41:45): So basically, you don't need to be known for anything?  Amanda Holmes (00:41:47): Right.  Dan Henry (00:41:48): Wow. That's probably the best answer I've ever heard of it when it comes to that question. That's deep. So let me ask you this. What got you into the Indian guru thing?  Amanda Holmes (00:41:59): My father was diagnosed and we went through a couple of a hundred alternatives for leukemia and we narrowed it down to the top 150 best in everything. Sound therapy, light therapy, oxygenation therapy. I mean, pre speaking in tongues, I studied under monks in Japan and then I met her and it was just a completely different experience. Just being in her presence, felt different. Like something really magical about this woman. And I had Celiacs at the time. So even the smell of wheat, if I went into a pizza store, I would get nauseated because I was that highly allergic. I would have to go to the hospital if I ate any wheat. And she said, every disease is just a disease of your mind. So if you can release those, you can cure yourself of Celiacs. And I'm like, so you think I could...  Dan Henry (00:42:48): So you can eat gluten now? No way.  Amanda Holmes (00:42:51): So I, so anytime I was in her presence, I could eat pizza. It was absurd and imagined like  Dan Henry (00:43:00): What kind of pizza? I need to know. Don't tell me Domino's.  Amanda Holmes (00:43:05): She liked deep dish. So we would go eat deep dish. When I first met her, we were...  Dan Henry (00:43:12): They say you got to start small, you know,  Amanda Holmes (00:43:15): But so then she said, I need a concentrated amount of time to be able to help cure you of this. I have a center in Singapore, so I made my way to Singapore. And three months later, she helped rebuild my stomach lining and I now can eat wheat all I like.  Dan Henry (00:43:34): And I bet you that a doctor would have probably charged you tens of thousands of dollars to still have that issue.  Amanda Holmes (00:43:42): No Western doctor said that they could cure Celiacs. If you ask anybody about Celiacs, they say, oh yeah, you, I just don't eat wheat. Like nobody actually has a cure for that.  Dan Henry (00:43:50): Yeah. I mean, why would you, I mean, why would you cure stuff like that when you could sell drugs to people that have it, or why would you cure cancer when you can sell cancer? I mean, you know, much money we would lose if we, if we actually came up with or released the cure for cancer? All those all those machines, all those technicians that go to schools to learn those machines. You've got to think you've got a school somewhere. That school has staff. It has janitors, it has a cafe workers. It has construction workers that work on it. And that school teaches technicians. And those technicians have to use these machines. And the people that make the what do they call the cancer machines? Like chemo, chemo, chemo machines. Yeah. Somebody's got to do research to create those machines.  Dan Henry (00:44:32): Somebody has got to do the manufacturing and then somebody's got to do the licensing and all that dah, dah, dah. If you just came out with the cure, all those people would lose their jobs and, and, and you know, my response would be that they can find new jobs. But, you know, I'm just saying like, that's that that'd be a big thing. And I think a lot of people don't stop to realize that. And I'm not saying that there's any one alternative that I, or anybody promote or like, or say is the answer. But I think that you have to ask yourself, well, if this is supposed to be the only answer, going to a Western doctor and doing chemotherapy, you know, it's sort of like if I told you the secret to doing this thing is this thing, I just happened to sell that thing. Right? You know, if I say, well, the secret to lose weight is to, to get into a keto, you know, a state of ketogenics, by the way I sell these ketones just by absolute happenstance. I happened to also sell that thing, you know, it's, you kind of got to ask yourself like, oh, so this is how you cure cancer. And you also happen to sell the thing that does that. It's interesting. You know, we gotta, you know, you gotta think about that kind of stuff.  Amanda Holmes (00:45:40): That's the scariest thing about online marketing today is the health. Right? So on Google, you're not going to get the solution that you're looking for. You're going to get whoever's best at PPC, right. Or SEO, right? Yeah. That's yeah. That's unfortunate.  Dan Henry (00:45:58): I wanted to ask you about that. What's with this alkaline diet thing. Tell me about that.  Amanda Holmes (00:46:02): Did I tell you about that?  Dan Henry (00:46:03): No, but I do my homework, but I'm asking you.  Amanda Holmes (00:46:08): So amidst the hundred and 50 different alternatives that we looked at, whether they were from Asia, Africa, Australia, South America, the one thing that they all said common for my father to get him better was become vegetarian. Okay. Like even just to get your body back into alignment, that will help you get there faster and cancer can't breed in an alkaline environment.  Dan Henry (00:46:32): Really? So that means no meat. Is there any way I can get an alkaline cow? Do they make those?  Amanda Holmes (00:46:40): I think they're putting them in laboratories now.  Dan Henry (00:46:43): Really? So you can get an alkaline cow and maybe some alkaline chickens?  Amanda Holmes (00:46:48): No, they're just making them in a Petri dish. You've heard about that. Right? Making me in a Petri dish.  Dan Henry (00:46:52): Yeah. What it was like, is this a new vegan thing? Or?  Amanda Holmes (00:46:55): I don't know. I wouldn't recommend it.  Dan Henry (00:46:58): Okay.  Amanda Holmes (00:46:59): Don't eat straight chemicals, find better ways.  Dan Henry (00:47:01): Yeah. Yeah. I mean the plants, I mean, people, people bitch about the plants, but this sounds...  Amanda Holmes (00:47:06): Oh my God, even lettuce. Please stop eating lettuce and thinking that that's healthy. It's it's. So if it's hydroponically made there now just water and chemicals that create lettuce. So you are straight eating chemicals. So people like, oh, I'm so healthy I'm eating a salad.  Dan Henry (00:47:23): With cheese and Ranch dressing on it, but sure, you do you. Okay, well now I gotta ask you, cause now we're going down this health rabbit hole. And, and we, we went from, we went from fricking alkaline diets, not breeding cancer, which I really, I want to explore that all the way to lettuce is bad for you. Now I gotta ask you. I just got to know. Okay. What are your thoughts on cannabis?  Amanda Holmes (00:47:45): Oh, okay.  Dan Henry (00:47:47): I have to ask we're already on that rabbit hole. We're already on that side of town. Let's walk around. Okay.  Amanda Holmes (00:47:54): Well, so the actual plant has so many medicinal values, right? That is wonderful. I believe in the medicinal values of herbs, all kinds of different herbs. I like if I had to choose between someone doing cannabis versus doing drugs or taking pills, I'd probably choose that than the latter, right?  Dan Henry (00:48:21): As would I. Yeah.  Amanda Holmes (00:48:23): And then I also would add some kind of caution that when you use cannabis to get to it's helping you get to an altered state of consciousness, which is actually what meditation is supposed to do. But majority of people just sit in silence and think that that's meditation, which is the polar opposite. Because when you sit in silence, usually your mind gets louder and it just, you know, so cannabis helps get you there faster. You just have to smoke it. Right. The only problem is there's a disconnect between your mind and your body actually experiencing that. That's why it reacts in different ways. Same with alcohol. It's helping you get to this altered state of consciousness. Wouldn't it be cool if you didn't need to smoke or to drink, to be able to get to that place where things just fall off of you where you're honest and truthful. I don't know.  Dan Henry (00:49:16): I mean, it'd be a lot cheaper.  Amanda Holmes (00:49:19): But it takes work.  Dan Henry (00:49:21): Yeah. I don't prefer the ultra stage of consciousness that alcohol gets you. I don't like being there. I like the social aspect of it, but then, you know, at some point you end up in that part of town that you don't want to be in and then you're throwing up and that's not good, but.  Amanda Holmes (00:49:36): Not to say that everyone wants to be there. And that is the definition of altered state of consciousness. I should probably retract that statement.  Dan Henry (00:49:44): So, so, but I'm saying like, like, think about this, right? You have all these drugs out, you have. So here's the reason why I started being a daily cannabis user. I have real bad anxiety. Couldn't slow my thoughts down. So of course what's the first thing a doctor recommends, drugs, right They're going to, they recommend what's that drug everybody's on with the bead and you get the beady little eyes you know, and you're like super focused Adderall, Adderall.  Amanda Holmes (00:50:16): I'm not an expert on drugs.  Dan Henry (00:50:16): Yeah. So like a buddy of mine, he's like, dude, you got to try Adderall. You just take it. And you'll just sit there and get like a week's worth of work done in like three hours. So just like take it and do it when you nobody's going to bother you. And I'm like, well, if nobody bothered me, I would get three weeks worth of work done in three hours. So I don't need the drug if that's it, you know. But so he gives me two of them, right. So I sit them on my desk for, I don't know, two weeks. And I'm just, every morning I'm staring at them, I'm staring at them, I'm staring at them. And, you know, I realized that I didn't really need that to be focused. Right. And you know, I talked to another buddy of mine and he's like, Hey, you should try medical marijuana.  Dan Henry (00:51:00): You know? And I'm like, well, you know I don't know. And I was actually not, not for it. He's like, just, just go to the doctor and try you know, he said, how many times have you taken XYZ pills? Right. How many times have you taken all this medicine? You're telling me you're not gonna take the most natural one and at least give it a try. I said, all right. He closed me, and that's a good point. So I go, and I'm literally, I was like, I have anxi.... Here's your prescription. Right? I didn't even get the word out. Right. And so I started using it not during the day, but at night, because my problem was, let's say it's Six O'clock, I'm done working well, I'm done being smart for the day. I want to be dumb. You know, I don't want to think of all the problems with my business.  Dan Henry (00:51:42): I don't want it because I, then my mind gets tired. And then the next day it's already tired from the night of thinking and now I'm not fresh. So, you know, I tried it and it would slow my mind down. And let me just, I guess, kind of be more present in my thoughts. And enjoying things, food music, you know, and just let me stop thinking so that the next day mentally I could return with the fresh plate. I'm sure I could use some super ninja meditation stuff to do the same thing, but you also have never smoked the weed I've got.  Dan Henry (00:52:22): But, here's why I say this. So, you know, there are a lot of applications for recreational drug use that are not good, like cocaine and methamphetamines, all that. But then there are people out there that do things like not just cannabis, but they do things like psychedelics, like DMT. And Iowaska. I got to ask you, if you ever did a drug, it would have to be Iowasca all this Indian guru stuff. I mean, it would have to be right? Like that would be right up your alley. I would think. No? What's your thoughts on that?  Amanda Holmes (00:52:52): I mean, I feel like I've had a lot of psychedelic experiences. I just haven't taken the drugs to have them.  Dan Henry (00:52:58): That's true. That's true.  Amanda Holmes (00:52:59): So like, I could talk with the best of them. I have great, great stories of experiences, right. But it's like on a solar eclipse, my guru decided that we were going to chant for three days straight and it was eight hours a day. For three days straight.  Dan Henry (00:53:16): You accomplished the same thing. Have you been able to accomplish ego death?  Amanda Holmes (00:53:20): I don't know what the definition of ego death is.  Dan Henry (00:53:22): It's the thing where, I mean, I, as apparently you can, you can achieve it through meditation or obviously, psychedelics. I guess that's the easier way, quicker, but it's where you lose the sense of self. You lose a sense of who, you no longer become Amanda or Dan. And I guess, and maybe I'm not explaining this best way, but essentially it allows you to mentally feel like what it's like to die and cease to exist and not have an identity. And it's like a whole different trippy type of thing. And I didn't know if you have gone that deep down the rabbit hole or not, I stay up late and watch YouTube videos sometimes. And this is where it goes. You ever watched the Joe Rogan podcast, man, you can get, you can go down some holes, man. You can go down some rabbit holes, but we're bringing up this stuff. I just figured that maybe you'd have an opinion on it. Good, bad, indifferent.  Amanda Holmes (00:54:16): I mean, I've spent a lot of time. I mean a lot of time, I'm 33, but a lot of time, like the last nine years I've studied intensively under a Saint that if you truly want to be connected to let's say, if you were divided into your ego and your soul you can't even walk up to the door of her location if you don't want to truly know yourself. And, people that are looking for truth and looking for the best version of themselves, regardless of what the world says, regardless of what they say, your ego should be. Like, if you go there for ego pampering, you will get slapped. Like people I've watched people walk in the door and then leave because they can't handle the idea of stripping away the masks that we wear. So ego death,  Dan Henry (00:55:08): Maybe they call it something different.  Amanda Holmes (00:55:11): Yeah. Well that sounds like a painful experience, which can be difficult, but I'd rather connect it to a positive thing if we're thinking about the mindset. Like  Dan Henry (00:55:20): A lot of people that go through it, describe it as scary at first, but then beautiful. Scary then beautiful. I've haven't done it. I haven't gone through it. I just, it, I didn't even really get into it until I started talking to a lot of entrepreneurs and I'd go to these conferences and everybody would be like, Hey, you do Iowaska yet? And I'm like, no. And then somebody else, you do Iowaska yet? I'm like, no, why is everyone asking me that. You do Iawaska yet? I'm like, no, what are you guys all on drugs? Like, what are you, what are you doing? And so then I just got curious and I was like, well, now I gotta look into this because everybody's doing it. Not everybody, but it was just an absurdly high amount of people saying it. And I was like, well, now I gotta see what this is all about. But then I did research that meditation, heavy, heavy, serious meditation, not like, you know, Sunday meditation class at the yoga studio, but like deep, deep, deep, deep stuff achieved very similar results. And it's just, it's a fascinating sort of it's just, it's a fascinating thing to get into because a lot of people don't talk about stuff like that.  Amanda Holmes (00:56:22): I reframe it still, the ego death sounds painful and agonizing. I would rather say so something that my guru taught me was calling your higher self. Like I, something I say all day, every day as I grant myself permission to connect to my higher self. And so instead of thinking about a death, I'd rather think about a birth and a prosperous, you know, prosperity, abundant feeling. And that abundant feeling is in birth.  Dan Henry (00:56:49): I love how you reframe things all the time constantly, constantly. Yeah. So should you feel like the ultimate goal of a human being should be to achieve the highest version of themselves?  Amanda Holmes (00:56:59): Absolutely. Everything starts with you, right and your relationship with yourself. I watched that with my father. He was surrounded by all the people that loved him. Most he had a magnificent business and yet he felt alone.  Dan Henry (00:57:16): Yeah.
