Podcast appearances and mentions of Eric Yuan

What does a founder learn from watching the CEO of a 32 billion dollar company make his biggest AI bets from the inside?Mahesh Ram has built and sold three companies. Thomson Reuters acquired his first, GlobalEnglish went to Pearson after teaching English to more than ten million people at companies like IBM and HP, and Solvvy, one of the first conversational AI companies, was bought by Zoom in 2022. He then spent two and a half years heading AI products at Zoom, sitting beside founder Eric Yuan as the company raced Microsoft into the AI era.In this conversation, Mahesh takes apart the three decisions that put Zoom ahead. Eric refused to charge for AI Companion because he believed everyone in the world should have AI, he publicly promised to never train models on customer data; and he built a model-agnostic layer instead of betting the company on any single lab. Zoom shipped weeks before Microsoft Copilot. Mahesh also shares the operating habits that made it possible, from the five-part rule Eric demands on every decision to the radical transparency that turned his own team into owners.He is just as direct about the question every founder now asks: whether OpenAI or Anthropic will simply take their market. He answers that the model companies cannot see the hundreds of custom applications running quietly inside every enterprise, so the durable business is the one that owns the messy, multi-party workflows they will never touch. On the wider fear that AI will kill SaaS, he thinks the shift is real but that Silicon Valley badly overestimates how fast it arrives, which leaves a huge opening for founders willing to go out and become the educators their market trusts.He closes on what he has learned selling three companies, why the best ones are bought and never sold, and the community of Indian origin founders he now runs that grew from three hundred people to more than two thousand in a single year.If you are excited about building enduring AI and software companies, this episode is for you.00:00 - Trailer01:27 - The three time founder who keeps destroying complexity03:08 - Two billion people learning English with no teacher04:45 - Building conversational AI before anyone knew what AI was07:21 - How Zoom came to acquire Solvvy11:08 - Working with Eric Yuan, a true force of nature13:43 - The three bold AI bets that beat Microsoft to market15:09 - Why Eric made Zoom's AI free and refused to touch your data17:29 - The five part rule Eric demands on every decision21:25 - Radical transparency: share everything except one thing23:32 - What Mahesh would build differently today29:05 - The moat question: how do you survive OpenAI and Anthropic35:33 - What Claude and OpenAI can never see inside a company41:01 - Will AI kill SaaS?

April 29, 2026: Bill Gates is predicting a 2-day workweek. Jamie Dimon says 3.5. Eric Yuan, the CEO of Zoom, says 5 days is over. Fortune just amplified a major study claiming we waste a full day every week procrastinating. The 4-day workweek movement has never had more wind at its back. In this episode, I'm making the bulletproof business case against it. I'll walk through eight reasons the case doesn't hold up — and why the policy isn't likely to spread broadly anytime soon, even with all the keynote energy behind it. I'm covering the studies that don't measure what they claim to measure, the Iceland myth, the company failures that get scrubbed from the data, the AI rhetorical pivot, why the happiness data isn't actually a business case, the wage math nobody talks about, the competitive reality at the country and company level, and why even the countries running pilots are voting against legislating it.  

Trust and Inspire is the leadership model redefining how great leaders unlock the best in their people — so why are so many organisations still stuck in command and control?This episode is sponsored by Deel. Hire, manage and pay – anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/In this episode of @thehrldpodcast Nick Day is joined by Stephen M.R. Covey, bestselling author of The Speed of Trust and Trust and Inspire, and former President and CEO of the Covey Leadership Center, to explore why the old model of leadership has reached its expiration date and what it takes to build the kind of high trust culture that attracts, retains and inspires the best people.Drawing on decades of research and work with organisations across 55 countries, Stephen breaks down why trust is a learnable skill and not a personality trait, what it actually looks like to extend trust in remote and hybrid teams without losing control, and how leaders can move from merely motivating people to truly inspiring them.This conversation explores how inspired employees outperform engaged ones by 56%, why the shift from command and control to trust and inspire is the most important leadership move of our time, and what Warren Buffett, Satya Nadella and Eric Yuan all have in common as leaders.A must listen for HR leaders, people managers, L&D professionals, and anyone responsible for building culture and developing leadership capability inside their organisation.Enjoyed this?

What does it actually feel like to be inside a company growing faster than anything the world had ever seen? Abe Smith knows. As one of the key leaders at Zoom during the pandemic, he watched the company go from $600M to $4.1B in revenue in just 24 months and 10 million to 300 million active users in four months. Yeah. Four months.In this episode of the FLF Skin in the Game Podcast, Saxon sits down with Abe Smith, Silicon Valley veteran, LP at Florida Funders, and one of the most globally experienced operators in enterprise SaaS to unpack the wild ride of building some of the most iconic tech companies of the last 25 years. From joining WebEx before Cisco's record-breaking $3.2B acquisition, to looking Eric Yuan in the eye and promising $1B in international revenue at Zoom (and delivering it in 18 months thanks to a little thing called COVID), Abe's stories are the kind you don't usually hear from the inside.They also get into what made Zoom's culture so different, why Silicon Valley still matters, what it takes to spot a real founder, and the big one whether the next generational AI company can be built right here in Florida.If you're a founder, investor, or just someone who loves a great business story, this one's for you.

Eric Yuan saw frustrated customers and wanted to make the product he worked on better – but couldn't convince his bosses. So he struck out on his own and founded a competitor: Zoom. Yuan talks with host Jeff Berman about building Zoom into a massive player, how it handled 30x growth when the Covid pandemic hit, how he led the company through a painful round of layoffs, and more.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us a textIn this special episode of the Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon steps into new territory by inviting two transformative guests: Eric Yuan from the San Mateo County Behavioral Health Department and Dr. Harry Ding, a fifth-generation Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner. Together, they discuss their innovative community program that bridges the gap between Western medical administration and Eastern holistic practices. Eric shares his personal testimony of overcoming a severe thyroid condition through Dr. Harry's care, which inspired them to serve over 1,200 patients by treating not just the body, but the mind and soul with "love as the best medicine."The conversation dives deep into the metaphysics of health, explaining the concept of "Chi" (life force energy) and how stagnation in specific meridians can manifest as emotional struggles like depression, anger, or worry. Dr. Harry breaks down the art of pulse diagnosis, explaining how a practitioner can detect mental health issues simply by feeling the rhythm of the blood flow in the wrist. He details how different positions on the left and right wrist correspond to internal organs like the heart, liver, and spleen, offering a window into a patient's emotional state without them saying a word.In a vulnerable and educational segment, Lira undergoes a live consultation and pulse reading. Dr. Harry analyzes her sleep patterns, digestion, and stress levels to reveal a "weak spleen" and "blood deficiency" caused by overthinking and irregular eating habits. The episode concludes with actionable TCM advice for listeners, including the importance of sleeping before 11:00 PM (liver time), incorporating red meats for blood regeneration, and drinking rose tea to release stress stagnation.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

What if I told you that while the world has undergone profound changes, our leadership approaches have remained largely stagnant? What if, instead of relying on hierarchical structures and top-down directives, leaders embraced a more effective approach based on trust and inspiration? In this episode of the Insight Out, I have the pleasure of sitting down with none other than Stephen M.R. Covey, a renowned author and an authority on leadership. We dive deep into the transformative power of trust and how it serves as a cornerstone of inspiration in leadership. Covey draws a stark contrast between the antiquated command and control style and the trust and inspire approach, which he passionately advocates for as being crucial in today's world, especially when dealing with knowledge workers. Throughout our conversation, Covey shares personal anecdotes and real-world examples that bring his concepts to life. Such examples are the leadership styles of Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella and the leadership approach of Zoom CEO Eric Yuan which epitomizes the principles we discuss. He then breaks down the three stewardships of a trust and inspire leader—modeling, trusting, and inspiring. Each of these plays a vital role in not just leading but empowering others to reach their full potential. Covey doesn't just leave us with theory; he offers practical advice on how to build agreements that lay the foundation for a collaborative and empowered workplace. Join us as we explore these insightful themes and let's uncover how trust and inspiration can reshape the landscape of leadership In this episode, you will learn the following: Leadership and its impact on individuals Shifting from command and control to trust and inspire leadership The principles of trust and inspire contrasted with command and control The importance of self-awareness and a shift towards trust and inspire leadership The barriers to becoming a trust and inspire leader The three stewardships of a trust and inspire leader: modeling, trusting, and inspiring In This Episode: [10:20] Tapping into untapped potential [18:08] Command and control vs. trust and inspire [20:37] Trust and inspire [25:02] Barriers to becoming a trust and inspire leader [35:23] Inspiring confidence in others [38:35] Trust as human motivation [40:17] Microsoft's Satya Nadella as a trust and inspire leader [41:32] Modeling behavior [43:54] Inspiring leadership [45:24] The power of trust [52:01] Building trust through Co-Creation [54:00] The leadership style of Eric Yuan, CEO of Zoom [55:02] The power of modeling in leadership [59:46] Stephen M.R.

R. Covey [22:10] "To operate with a command and control style is like trying to play tennis with a golf club; it's not relevant to the game being played."- Stephen M. R. Covey [36:25] “Leadership is communicating people's worth and potential so clearly. That they come to see it in themselves.” Billy Samoa] [47:22] "When you trust people, they grow, they develop, and they become their best selves because they develop new capabilities." - Stephen M.

Some see AI as the ultimate evolution of human progress, while skeptics dismiss it as a bubble or worse. The tech's strengths and flaws—automation, hallucinations, social impact—are driving both hype and backlash. This split isn't about tech, it's about belief. Would You Replace Your CEO with an AI Avatar? Tech CEOs Are Testing the WatersSome tech bosses are literally sending AI versions of themselves to earnings calls: Klarna's Sebastian Siemiatkowski and Zoom's Eric Yuan let digital avatars do their talking for them. Meanwhile, Klarna's CEO even admitted AI could eventually replace his own job—though real-world chaos means humans aren't fully out… yet. Winning the AI Race Means More Than Just Tech—The U.S. Needs StrategyThe U.S.–China AI competition isn't just about building smarter bots—it's a full-on geopolitical showdown. It's a race on three fronts: developing AGI, embedding AI across societies, and securing chips, data lanes, and regulation. To stay on top, the U.S. needs a holistic plan that blends innovation, smart policy, and defense—not just private‑sector hype. Left Tech for Welding—Here's Why It Was the Best Move EverTabby Toney got laid off from her software gig in May and bailed on tech because AI was making everything feel shallow. Instead, she's welding again—tapping into creativity, problem-solving, and actual hands-on work. No more burnout, no more prep for grueling interviews—just real craft. We're About to Lose Almost Every Job to Robots—Here's the DealFuturist Adam Dorr says in the next ~20 years, robots and AI will snatch nearly all jobs—cooking, coding, caring—faster and cheaper than us. Some human roles may hang on, but not nearly enough. Society's gotta rethink how we share value, income, and purpose before chaos hits. AI That Promises to ‘Solve All Diseases' Is Heading Into Human TrialsA stealthy Google-owned lab, Isomorphic Labs (spun out from DeepMind), is now testing AI-designed cancer drugs in humans. Backed by AlphaFold 3, it designs molecules in silico, aiming to slash the 10–15 year, billion-dollar drug timeline. But with no clue how the AI makes decisions, questions around safety, transparency, pricing, and monopoly loom large.

This week, hosts Chad Sowash, Joel Cheesman, and Emi Beredugo sling zingers at the tech and policy chaos of today's work of work. First up, they cackle over OpenAI's Sam Altman throwing shade at Meta, claiming Zuck's crew dangled $100 million bonuses to poach his AI wizards. Altman, smirking on his brother's podcast, scoffed, “Meta's not exactly an innovation powerhouse,” betting OpenAI's culture will outshine cash as they chase superintelligence—AI that'll make humans look like dial-up modems. Chad quips, “Zuck's throwing cash like confetti, but Altman's holding the AGI trump card.” Next, the hosts tackle Trump's immigration whiplash. Last week, he hit pause on ICE raids targeting farms and hotels—where 42% of crop workers and 7.6% of hospitality staff are undocumented—after farmers cried foul. But days later, he flipped, doubling down on mass deportations, especially in blue states, risking $315 billion in economic fallout. Tech gets weirder with Amazon's Andy Jassy predicting AI will shrink corporate jobs, leaning on generative AI and Zoox's 10,000 robotaxis to replace drivers. Meanwhile, Zoom's Eric Yuan shrugs off work-life balance, saying leaders live for work and family, but sees AI pushing Gen Z toward three-day workweeks. Klarna's CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, not to be outdone, launches an AI hotline starring a digital him. Surely, AI Sebastian will be running interviews at Klarna soon, right? Tune in for insight.

Eric Yuan turned a simple belief into Zoom, the platform that kept the world moving through a once-in-a-century shutdown and redefined modern work. On this episode of Grit, the Zoom CEO shares why velocity beats size, how a family-first ethos powered his leadership during COVID, and why the coming wave of AI dwarfs the original internet boom. He details how he's refreshing Zoom's culture for 7,500 people, opting for virtual deal calls over in person meetings, settling into life as an empty-nester, and keeping Zoom nimble enough to outpace Big Tech and the next wave of AI startups.Guest: Eric S.

Ce n'est pas de la science-fiction. Plusieurs entreprises réfléchissent à la création de doubles numériques pour nous remplacer dans les visioconférences, et même au-delà dans de nombreuses tâches professionnelles ou personnelles.Eric Yuan, le fondateur de l'application Zoom, enfourche à son tour le cheval de l'intelligence artificielle générative. Il envisage de proposer bientôt des avatars alimentés par l'IA pour participer aux réunions à la place des utilisateurs. Ces doubles numériques auraient notre expertises car ils liraient nos e-mails et nos dossiers, et ainsi ils pourraient répondre aux questions qu'on leur pose. Selon le patron de Zoom, dans un premier temps, les avatars pourraient commencer par être simplement vocaux, mais l'objectif est de proposer à terme de véritables avatars 3D plus vrais que nature. Prêt à entrer dans l'ère des doubles numériques ? Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Today, I'm talking with Zoom CEO Eric Yuan — and let me tell you, this conversation is nothing like what I expected. It turns out Eric wants Zoom to be much, much more than just a videoconferencing platform. Zoom wants to take on Microsoft and Google and now has a big investment in AI – and Eric's visions for what that AI will do are pretty wild. See, Eric really wants you to stop having to attend Zoom meetings yourself. You'll hear him describe how he thinks one of the big benefits of AI at work will be letting us all create something he calls a “digital twin," essentially a deepfake of yourself that can go attend meetings on your behalf and even make decisions for you. I'll just warn you: I tried to ask a bunch of the usual Decoder questions during this conversation, but once we got to digital twins going to Zoom meetings for people, well, I had a lot of followup questions.  Links:  Zoom gets its first major overhaul in 10 years, powered by generative AI | ZDNet An interview with Zoom CEO Eric Yuan | Stratechery / Ben Thompson Zoom is cutting about 150 jobs, or close to 2% of its workforce | CNBC Zoom meetings are about to get weirder thanks to the Vision Pro | The Verge Zoom Docs launches in 2024 with built-in AI collaboration features | The Verge Zoom rewrites its policies to make clear that your videos aren't used to train AI tools | The Verge Zoom says its new AI tools aren't stealing ownership of your content | The Verge Zoom adds “post-quantum” end-to-end encryption | Zoom Transcript: https://www.theverge.com/e/23932774 Credits:  Decoder is a production of The Verge, and part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.

What if I told you that while the world has undergone profound changes, our leadership approaches have remained largely stagnant? What if, instead of relying on hierarchical structures and top-down directives, leaders embraced a more effective approach based on trust and inspiration? In this episode of the Insight Out, I have the pleasure of sitting down with none other than Stephen M.R. Covey, a renowned author and an authority on leadership. We dive deep into the transformative power of trust and how it serves as a cornerstone of inspiration in leadership. Covey draws a stark contrast between the antiquated command and control style and the trust and inspire approach, which he passionately advocates for as being crucial in today's world, especially when dealing with knowledge workers. Throughout our conversation, Covey shares personal anecdotes and real-world examples that bring his concepts to life. Such examples are the leadership styles of Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella and the leadership approach of Zoom CEO Eric Yuan which epitomizes the principles we discuss. He then breaks down the three stewardships of a trust and inspire leader—modeling, trusting, and inspiring. Each of these plays a vital role in not just leading but empowering others to reach their full potential. Covey doesn't just leave us with theory; he offers practical advice on how to build agreements that lay the foundation for a collaborative and empowered workplace. Join us as we explore these insightful themes and let's uncover how trust and inspiration can reshape the landscape of leadership In this episode, you will learn the following: Leadership and its impact on individuals Shifting from command and control to trust and inspire leadership The principles of trust and inspire contrasted with command and control The importance of self-awareness and a shift towards trust and inspire leadership The barriers to becoming a trust and inspire leader The three stewardships of a trust and inspire leader: modeling, trusting, and inspiring In This Episode: [01:22] Introduction to Stephen M.R.

Zoom has a lot of people worried this week over its use of customer data to train artificial intelligence. The company's CEO Eric Yuan said Zoom's March update to its terms of service — which started the backlash — was a mistake. The big picture: Distrust for the companies creating AI technology is growing. 82% of American voters said they don't trust tech executives to regulate AI, according to a recent YouGov poll. We take a look at what all of this means for the next stages of artificial intelligence.

How ironic is it that Zoom, the very company we rely on for virtual meetings, is now requesting its employees to go back to the office? CEO Eric Yuan believes face-to-face collaboration is crucial for the company. In other news, meme stocks, a pandemic trend, are still going strong even after the pandemic.

Zoom Video (ZM) plans to cut 15% of its workforce, which is approximately 1.3K of workers. The CEO, Eric Yuan, is also cutting his salary for the coming year by 98%. The ZM stock price today is up over 7% so far following the news. Next, Renita Young weighs in on Bed, Bath & Beyond (BBBY) stock price plunging after announcing a new stock offering. Wedbush has stated that there is a low probability that the retailer will be able to raise equity in this last gasp before filing for bankruptcy protection.

"My number one priority is to make sure Zoom employees are happy. I believe if you have happy employees, you're going to have happy customers." Eric Yuan, SEP '06, founded Zoom in 2011 to "deliver happiness and bring people together" in a frictionless video environment. In 2019, Eric led Zoom to one of the highest-performing tech IPOs of the year. But it was the next year that really made his company a global verb. In January 2020, the Zoom app averaged about 56,000 daily downloads on the Apple App Store. Within two months, as the COVID-19 outbreak forced a tectonic shift in the way people communicate, those downloads surpassed two million per day.In this episode of View From the Top, the podcast, Kathleen Schwind MBA '23, sits down to interview Yuan about what how he creates company culture, how he strives for work-life balance, and the few things he can't live without.

Our guest for today's podcast is Eugene Zhang, Founding Partner of TSVC, a venture capital firm he started in 2010 to focus on seed stage investing.  An engineer by training, Eugene spent his formative years working for a number of the top tech companies in our time including Sun Microsystems, Cisco and Juniper Networks.  After successfully selling his own side hustle tech startup, Eugene took an interest in angel investing, subsequently catapulting his second career as a venture capitalist.   TSVC is now on its 5th fund in 12 years.  It's first fund is known for having invested in Zoom Video Communications when Eric Yuan raised its first $3mn in capital raise back in 2010.  TSVC's cost basis was $0.11 per share.  Not bad so say the least! Want to hear Eugene's story about why he invested in Eric Yuan at Zoom back in 2010 when other venture capitalists passed.  Well, we got it here for you.   Without further ado, here is our conversation with Eugene Zhang.

Sean: Hey, Dave. Just want to say you're a modern-day hero to a lot of people. Dave: I'm not a hero. I'm just someone that's trying to give back in a really small way. And it's really one of the prongs of my efforts around helping the community, particularly the Asian-American community. I would say, you know, we can talk more about it, but there are really three things I'm really focused on. One is helping Asians get more economic power. And unfortunately, not all of us will be Jerry Yang or Eric Yuan of Zoom. Most of us will work in companies, and most of us will need to figure out how to rise the corporate ladder. And so this book is really my gift to people trying to better themselves economically by rising the corporate ladder. Dave: The second major area of focus for me is really around policy and politics, but from a new standpoint. So I'm the vice-chairman of one of the leading Asian-American news sites in the U.S. called Asia AM News, ASAMNew.com. And we're a volunteer network. We're nonprofit, but we want to keep reporting stories that are important to the Asian community. And if you have been tracking, for instance, #StopAsianHate before, some of the more tragic events with Michelle Go and Christina Euna Lee, before those events, the mainstream news had actually stopped really reporting on Asian hate crimes. And I think there was a general perception among non-Asians that the Asian hate crimes have subsided. And in fact, that's not true at all. In fact, they've actually gotten worse. And we were one of the few news outlets that continue to report on it. So it just illustrates to me that we need a source of news for our community that will continue to report on the news that's important to us when all the other mass news outlets have gone away. So that's kind of the second major focus of mine. Dave: And then the third is entertainment. So I'm a big believer that we need to get more Asian faces and more Asian voices in the media. Otherwise, particularly in America, we will continue to be viewed as the other, will continue to be viewed as a foreigner. And so I've been working with media production companies that are primarily founded by Asian-Americans. I've helped finance them. I've helped advise them as well as I just started a new company called Reel 8 - Reel8.com where we've effectively built an NFT marketplace for Asian filmmakers to help Asian filmmakers further monetize their films. So that just kind of gives you a more holistic sense of the things that I'm focused on. And you can get a sense of the commonality is that I'm trying to help the Asian community, and that's a big focus of mine, not the least of which is because I have two boys and I want to make the world a little bit better for them when they become adults and grow older. Sean: For sure. For sure. And by the way, thank you so much for doing the work for me. I have two boys as well and I'll just ask them to read your book when they grow up. But I'll get a copy for sure. I want to read it. I'm very interested in it. - - - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/leadershipstack Join our community and ask questions here: from.sean.si/discord Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leadershipstack

Eric Yuan, the CEO of Zoom, is a longtime friend of mine whose leadership has positively impacted countless people. Zoom is a sponsor of the show, and we are honored to have Eric join us to discuss game-changing innovations.  During COVID-19, Zoom saw explosive growth from schools, businesses, and individuals alike. Eric attributes two factors to Zoom's success: the product's architecture that supports a hybrid model and the ability to increase servers as more traffic arose. If more bandwidth were available, new features would be better, and quality would be higher. Eric believes increasing bandwidth will be vital to Zoom's future innovations. Zoom's original goal was to create a quality video conferencing app, which they accomplished. In the future, Eric wants to transform Zoom into a platform company. He envisions bringing third-party contexts to the interface, such as games and other consumer apps.  Healthcare and Education Innovation Eric believes Zoom will be able to deliver a better meeting experience than face-to-face meetings. The opportunities are endless, from language translations during business meetings to doctors supporting live surgeries happening overseas. Eric is especially excited about Zoom's future in telehealth and education. Patients can comfortably receive the care they need when they need it, and this will only improve. Higher education institutions and K-12 schools leverage Zoom across the world. Eric believes the future of education will be a hybrid model, similar to the future of work. Killer innovations come from the right collaborations, bandwidth, and artificial intelligence integration.  The Future of Work and New Features Eric believes the future of work is hybrid because it offers employees flexibility and shields them from mental health problems. When Zoom creates new features, they always ask if the features will support a hybrid work system. Different businesses are trying different setups for their hybrid work models. Focusing on making remote workers feel connected is a guiding principle for Zoom's innovations. Recently, Zoom announced some exciting new features at Zoomtopia. They announced a live language translation feature. They also announced a Docusign integration and the adoption of other apps into the Zoom ecosystem.  About our Guest: Eric Yuan Eric Yuan is the billionaire founder of Zoom, a popular video communications tool that took flight during the coronavirus pandemic. Eric was previously one of the founding engineers at WebEx, which Cisco Systems acquired in 2007. He went on to become the VP at Cisco Systems.

Thank you for tuning into another episode of Sabine's Common Sense and for helping me to stay on purpose! So at this point, we've all become pretty familiar with Zoom right lol? But did you know the founder of Zoom, Eric Yuan, didn't get approved for his US Visa until his NINTH try? Can you imagine if he had given up? Without his persistence and motivation to achieve his goals, he may not have the success that he has today. Not feeling inspired yet? Trust me, you will after watching this episode! I had the pleasure of interviewing four time best selling author, motivational speaker, real estate connoisseur, and publisher, Jermain Miller! Jermain has a similar story of faith and persistence, and had he decided to just go with the motions or succumb to being a VICTIM instead of a VICTOR of life's struggles, he would not be as successful as he is today. His grandma as his motivation, he became the first person in his family to go to college, but ended up dropping out after his grandma passed away from lung cancer. He lost his inspiration and before he knew it - he was 25, waking up on the floor with only 93 cents in his pocket and going through a divorce. After realizing he was only living to exist, he knew it was time for a change. He then decided to get into real estate, and although he needed to borrow money from a friend in order to begin his career as a realtor, he quickly became successful and sold over 300 MILLION in real estate transactions. After devoting 10 years to the industry, he realized that being a realtor was just the stepping stone to the path that he was meant to be on, and decided to start his own real estate company in 2015, a consulting company in 2018, and a publishing company early this year. From writing a book in just THREE DAYS to manifesting being Les Brown's spiritual son to being able to manifest the life you want to live and then prepare for it- this is one story that will change your life! If this episode doesn't get you inspired, then something ain't right lol! Don't forget to rate and subscribe! Want to connect with Jermain?
