Most salespeople think they lost the deal because the prospect didn't have the money, wasn't ready, or found something cheaper. Ray Higdon says that's almost never the real reason. In this solo episode, Ray draws on decades of reviewing thousands of sales conversations to expose the one thing that kills more deals than anything else: failing to expand the prospect's problem. Here's the truth Ray lays out. Most people come to you with a "it'd be nice" problem. It'd be nice to make more money. It'd be nice to quit their job. And people with "it'd be nice" problems don't buy. Your job isn't to pitch harder or follow up more aggressively. Your job is to ask the right questions and help them feel the weight of what staying stuck is actually costing them. Ray shares the story of a client who owed $70,000 to the IRS and refused to invest another dime, right up until Ray helped him see that scraping and saving wasn't going to solve a big problem. That client hired Ray for $30,000, launched a six-figure campaign, paid off the debt, and kept going. That's what expanding the problem looks like in real life. If you want to close more sales without being pushy or salesy, this one is worth your full attention.

In this solo episode, Travis dives deep into one of the most powerful success principles he's observed in hundreds of high-achieving entrepreneurs — delayed gratification. Drawing on lessons from personal experience, top performers like Grant Cardone and Kevin Hart, and timeless studies like the Marshmallow Experiment, Travis breaks down why learning to wait for bigger rewards later can completely change your financial, physical, and personal life. On this episode we talk about: How delayed gratification sets the foundation for lasting success The Marshmallow Test and what it teaches about life outcomes Avoiding the “Jones Effect” and unnecessary spending Why choosing short-term comfort leads to long-term struggle Finding balance between enjoying the present and building for the future Top 3 Takeaways Success often comes down to your ability to delay gratification — trading short-term pleasure for long-term gain. Living below your means today gives you the freedom to live on your terms tomorrow. Balance is key: allow yourself small rewards now while you continue building for future success. Notable Quotes “You can have everything you want — just not now.” “Choosing struggle now gives you control over how your life turns out later.” “If you're constantly optimizing for pleasure today, you're sacrificing your peace of mind tomorrow.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: twitter.com/travischappell Instagram: instagram.com/travischappell Website: travischappell.com Learn more about your ad choices.

You can have all the goals in the world. Write them down every morning. Vision board them on your wall. But if you're not becoming the person those goals actually require, nothing is going to change. In this solo episode, Ray Higdon cuts straight to the truth: most people don't fail because they lack goals. They fail because they won't do the personal becoming that the goal demands. And he's not just talking theory here. Ray walks you through a powerful exercise to expose the gap between what you want and who you currently are, then backs it up with real stories. A guy named Eric who skipped his mortgage payment to fly to Malaysia on a hunch and built a team of 20,000 people a month. A plumber named Roger who started filming himself unclog toilets, got laughed at for a year, and ended up with a $2 million sponsorship deal. These weren't lucky breaks. They were leaps of faith made by people who chose to become someone new. Ray ties it all back to scripture too, reminding us that Abraham, Joseph, Peter, and every other person God used greatly had to walk through discomfort to get to the fruit. The question isn't whether you have bold enough goals. The question is whether you're bold enough to become the person capable of reaching them.

Send us Fan MailFeeling stuck can be confusing when your life looks good on paper. We talk about that exact tension: having the job you wanted, having friends, doing all the “right” things and still feeling empty. Instead of ignoring it, we treat it as a signal. That uneasy feeling often points to a bigger truth: fulfillment comes from alignment, not comfort, and alignment usually requires a decision that scares you.We walk through the two catalysts that changed our trajectory. First, we set a clear goal with a real deadline: start a business by the end of the year, then put in reps even before everything made sense. Second, we put ourselves in a high-action environment by attending Grant Cardone's conference in Miami, where the message became obvious fast: if you want to build a business and provide value, you have to share your message and actually help people. That shift turns “maybe someday” into “I'm starting now.”From there, we trace how a practical skill set in accounting, personal finance, and financial literacy can become the foundation for coaching that goes far beyond money. We talk about building a North Star vision, strengthening mindset, supporting mental health and physical health, improving relationships, and staying grounded in service, community, and purpose. We also keep it real about the messy beginning: no sales system, no polished funnel, getting paid through Venmo, then evolving step by step. If you're researching how to start a coaching business, how to start a side hustle, or how to stop overthinking and take action, this is your reminder to build brick by brick.If this hits home, subscribe for more Five Minute Friday insights, share this with a friend who needs a push, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Nobody trusts vanilla. In this episode, Igor reveals one of his most counterintuitive list-building strategies: deliberately picking fights with big names like Grant Cardone, Gary Vee, Tim Ferriss, and Russell Brunson. Taking a public stand, even a polarizing one, is what separates influential marketers from forgettable ones. Igor breaks down why opinions build credibility, how to express what you stand for without confrontation, and how to turn newsworthy moments and even angry subscriber replies into engagement gold.

In this solo episode, Travis Chappell reflects on one of the biggest themes he's uncovered after nearly 2,000 podcast interviews: generosity. Drawing from conversations with bestselling authors, entrepreneurs, behavioral scientists, and business leaders, Travis explains why the people who build the strongest networks and create the biggest opportunities are the ones who give first—without keeping score. Through personal stories, research, and lessons from guests like Adam Grant, Jack Carr, John Levy, Grant Cardone, and Gary Vaynerchuk, he breaks down why playing the long game is one of the smartest business strategies you can adopt. On this episode we talk about: Why generosity is the foundation of lasting business relationships The difference between givers, takers, and matchers—and why it matters How weak ties and authentic networking create unexpected opportunities Why hosting events and creating connections is one of the fastest ways to grow your network Real-world examples of generosity leading to life-changing business opportunities Top 3 Takeaways Give without keeping score. The strongest relationships are built when you help others without expecting an immediate return. Focus on creating value, not collecting favors. Long-term generosity compounds into opportunities that transactional networking never will. Become the connector. Hosting events, introducing people, and creating communities positions you as someone others naturally want to work with. Notable Quotes "Generosity with no return address is the long game of building relationships." "It's never bad to have a bunch of great people conspiring for your good." "Flow power to power. Give—don't try to get something."

If you've ever told yourself you just need to be more consistent, Ray Higdon has something to say about that — and it might shift everything. In this solo episode, Ray breaks down why consistency isn't actually your problem. After two decades of coaching thousands of people, he keeps seeing the same root cause underneath the struggle, and it has nothing to do with habits, routines, or discipline. It's a belief problem. Ray gets personal here. He shares a powerful story about a panic attack backstage at Funnel Hacking Live in Nashville, in front of 5,000 people, and how that moment cracked open a deep belief he had carried since third grade — that trusting people leads to betrayal. That one belief quietly shaped how he showed up in relationships for years without him even knowing it. The same thing is happening with consistency. If part of you believes success means losing money, becoming someone you despise, getting cut off from family, or being hit up for cash, your subconscious will do the most efficient thing possible: keep you from being consistent. You can read every habits book ever written and nothing will stick until you ask yourself what you actually believe success will do to your life. That's where the real work begins.

Grant Cardone joins David Lin for a wide-ranging conversation on the economy, real estate, Bitcoin, cash flow, wealth creation, and the mindset required to win in uncertain times.   In this interview, Grant breaks down why he believes America is facing a mortgage and affordability crisis, how higher yields are impacting investors, and why cash flow matters more than sitting on cash. He also shares his perspective on real estate, Bitcoin, long-term investing, negotiation, generational wealth, and what it takes to stop thinking small.   From market rotations and oil shocks to marriage, criticism, happiness, and building lasting wealth, Grant delivers a direct look at how he sees the current economy and where the biggest opportunities may be next.  

Your need for approval might be the very thing standing between you and the income you know you're capable of. In this solo episode, Ray Higdon gets straight to it: most struggling entrepreneurs don't have a sales problem, they have an approval problem. They need acceptance from strangers, friends, family members, anyone, and that need is quietly killing their results. Ray shares how every major career pivot he made was met with doubt, and how he learned to use that doubt as fuel instead of a reason to stop. Ray also flips the script on imposter syndrome. It's not about posting content before you have success. It's about saying you want to change the world but refusing to get uncomfortable. He closes with three practical mindset shifts for sales: your prospects don't need you to be nice, they need you to be clear and certain. Backing off when you feel resistance isn't kindness, it's fear. And the people you didn't close? You didn't help them. If you know someone who's hanging on by a thread trying to make this work, this one's for them.

In this episode, Travis is joined by producer Eric to unpack one of personal finance's most polarizing topics: debt. Using a conversation between Grant Cardone and Ryan Pineda as a launching point, they compare Grant Cardone's approach to leverage with Dave Ramsey's debt-free philosophy. Along the way, they discuss good debt versus bad debt, the realities of commercial real estate investing, why financial advice should be viewed through context, and how successful investors adapt their strategies to changing market conditions. On this episode we talk about: The difference between good debt and bad debt in real estate investing. Why Grant Cardone sometimes chooses to buy properties with cash instead of financing them. How Dave Ramsey's debt-free philosophy compares to Grant Cardone's investment strategy. The risks commercial real estate investors face when refinancing in a high-interest-rate environment. Why financial advice should be evaluated based on context rather than treated as one-size-fits-all. Top 3 Takeaways Debt is neither inherently good nor bad—the quality of the investment and the financing terms determine whether leverage creates or destroys wealth. Financial strategies that work for multimillionaires don't always translate directly to everyday investors, so it's important to understand the context behind the advice. Great investors stay flexible, adjusting their approach as market conditions change instead of following rigid financial rules. Notable Quotes "I'm not about getting into debt for the sake of getting into debt—I want good debt." "There's clearly nuance to this." "Financial advice isn't one-size-fits-all. Context matters."

John Morgan didn't build Morgan & Morgan like a normal law firm. He built it like Google - everywhere, for everybody, controlling attention, referrals, marketing, and scale.   Grant Cardone sits down with John Morgan to break down how he went from financial insecurity to building one of the most recognized law firms in America. John shares how a childhood money lesson changed his life, why marketing beats sales, how he spends over $600 million a year on advertising, why he studies attention like a science, and how Morgan & Morgan became a national machine built on billboards, TV, social, referrals, AI, and systems.   This is not just a conversation about law. This is a masterclass in business domination, marketing, money, scale, hiring, AI, and winning.

If your prospecting isn't producing results, chances are you're making at least one of these five critical mistakes. In this episode, Ray Higdon lays out the exact prospecting errors that silently drain sales from network marketers and direct sellers every single day, and gives you the practical fixes to start turning things around immediately. Ray walks through each mistake with the clarity and directness he's known for. Not talking to enough people is the foundation. If last week's outreach numbers were in the single digits, your income will reflect that. Not following up persistently means leaving money on the table. Ray shares the story of a prospect who said no seven times before eventually joining, building a six-figure income, and going full-time since 2011. Judging who to prospect before even asking them lets your assumptions steal your pipeline. Making the prospect the prize by chasing, begging, and coming across as desperate flips the power dynamic in the wrong direction. And the deepest mistake of all is focusing more on your solution than on the problem the prospect has actually stated. That approach comes across as pushy every time. The real game-changer Ray unpacks is the difference between persuasion and manipulation, and how asking the right questions to expand a prospect's problem is what moves people to action. He illustrates this with a real conversation that took a prospect from "it'd be nice to make more money" to "I have to do something about this" in just a few focused questions. If you want to close more sales, this episode will show you exactly where to start. —

Grant Cardone is one of the most recognizable—and polarizing—figures in entrepreneurship. Known for his larger-than-life personality, sales expertise, and real estate empire, Grant has built a brand around thinking bigger and taking massive action. In this solo episode, Travis revisits his in-depth interview with Grant to unpack five of the biggest lessons that have stuck with him over the years. From overcoming addiction through purpose to challenging conventional wisdom about wealth and networking, this episode explores the mindset shifts that can dramatically change the way you approach success. On this episode we talk about: Why boredom is often the root of destructive habits—and how healthy obsession can transform your life Grant Cardone's controversial perspective on the middle class and building real wealth Why you should never take advice from people who gave up on the goals you're pursuing How generosity and "flowing power to power" can unlock powerful networking opportunities The debate over whether your primary home is truly an investment or a financial liability Top 3 Takeaways Channel your energy into meaningful work. Obsession with a worthwhile mission leaves little room for distractions and self-destructive habits. Be intentional about whose advice you follow. Learn from people actively succeeding in the areas where you want to grow—not those who abandoned the journey. The best networking strategy isn't asking for favors—it's creating value first through genuine generosity and service. Notable Quotes "Boredom is the enemy. Obsession is the antidote." "Never take advice from a quitter." "Flow power to power."

Your prospects don't hate your offer. They feel your desperation. And that's what's killing your sales. In this episode, Ray Higdon gets brutally honest about one of the most overlooked killers of conversion: the energy you bring into every sales conversation. Whether you call it eagerness, pushiness, or commission breath, prospects sense it and it sends them running, even when they actually want what you're selling. Ray breaks down three concrete steps to eliminate desperate energy from your prospecting for good. Step one: talk to more people. When you only have two prospects in your pipeline, desperation is almost unavoidable. When you're consistently reaching out to 30, 40, or 50 people a week, you stop fixating on any single outcome. Step two: stop focusing on your solution and start focusing on the problem your prospect has actually told you about. If you don't know what they're struggling with, it's likely because you've never asked. Step three: develop posture. Posture is the ability to manage the energy of a conversation without chasing, guilting, or pressuring. Ray shares the exact mindset he carried when reaching out to his warm market as he became the number one income earner in his company: "I'm going to do this with or without you." This episode is a masterclass in sales psychology for network marketers, direct sellers, and anyone who's ever felt like they were trying too hard. If you're ready to close more sales by caring less about any one outcome, this is the episode you've been waiting for. —

Grant Cardone says he may have found a way to disrupt the $4 trillion real estate industry by combining income-producing real estate with Bitcoin. In this interview recorded live at Consensus 2026, Grant breaks down why the 1965 REIT model is fundamentally broken — companies forced to distribute 90% of their cash with nothing left for capital expenditures — and how his Bitcoin real estate hybrid solves the liquidity problem that's crushing major institutions like Starwood right now. He explains why 80% of his investors have never owned Bitcoin before, how showing them the hybrid model turned them into Bitcoin buyers on their own, and why he believes every major institution will eventually adopt this model. Grant also reveals how he almost lost $12 million in Bitcoin on a plane he sold to Tim Draper, why he thinks Bitcoin should be $150,000 today, and what Michael Saylor said when he saw Grant's first hybrid deal.

Most people say they want financial breakthrough, but very few are actually walking in the faith it takes to get there. In this episode, Ray Higdon delivers a powerful and challenging message for anyone who feels stuck financially. The problem, Ray says, isn't strategy or timing. It's who you're being every single day, and whether you're truly walking in faith or just claiming to be. Ray draws on scripture, personal stories, and hard-won business experience to unpack what walking in faith actually looks like in practice. He shares the moment his company faced a $1.1 million hotel bill for a major event, how he was led to bring in John Maxwell as a speaker despite the enormous financial pressure, and why that obedience, not logic, produced the breakthrough. He also unpacks the parable of the talents, Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac, and David's posture before Goliath to illustrate what genuine faith-driven decision-making looks like when the numbers don't make sense. This episode will challenge you to stop holding on so tightly to the money you have that you miss the investment God is calling you toward. If every opportunity looks like a cost instead of a door, this message is for you. Ray's raw honesty and faith-based perspective make this one of the most compelling episodes for entrepreneurs and network marketers who want God-led financial growth, not just hustle. —

Real estate mogul Grant Cardone made his Consensus mainstage debut to explain the unconventional investment strategy he's been building for the past 17 months: fusing Bitcoin directly into large-scale real estate deals to outcompete traditional REITs. Cardone, who first received Bitcoin as payment for a speaking gig and still holds those 115 coins today, argues the hybrid model can deliver 22–32% returns by combining the stability of cash-flowing properties with the upside of Bitcoin. He also shared why he believes this structure could disrupt the entire $4 trillion REIT industry. - Timecodes: 00:00 - Grant Cardone at Consensus Miami 2026 00:40 - How Grant First Discovered Bitcoin 02:02 - Real Estate Bitcoin Hybrid Strategy 05:45 - Why Real Estate Beats Other Asset Classes 08:03 - Disrupting The REIT Industry 14:22 - Going Public And Bypassing The Banks 16:57 - Final Advice: Get Fiat, Build Wealth

Omar Elattar has interviewed some of the biggest names in business, media, and culture, but this conversation goes far deeper than podcasting, success, or viral moments. What starts as an unbelievable story about manifesting a meeting with Tony Robbins turns into a powerful conversation about intuition, energy, surrender, faith, fear, and what it really means to follow the signs in your life.What this episode is about:This is a conversation about what happens when you stop forcing outcomes and start listening to the pull. Omar opens up about the last-minute decision that led him to a Tony Robbins event, the impossible timing that brought him face-to-face with Tony at dinner, and the moment Tony personally invited him to do his podcast. Jared and Omar also go deep on manifestation, staying centered, intuition vs impulse, the dangers of ego, and why the biggest opportunities in life often come from following the breadcrumbs before they make logical sense.Key topics discussed:How Omar manifested meeting Tony Robbins in real lifeWhy intuition requires silence, balance, and trustThe difference between forcing success and attracting opportunityHow to stay centered through both highs and lowsWhy surrender is not weakness, but one of the highest forms of strengthOmar's wild story of flying to Romania to interview Andrew TateThe biggest lessons Omar learned from interviewing Grant Cardone, Patrick Bet-David, and other major figuresWhy most people aim too low and hitJared's philosophy on energy, infinite possibilities, and letting go of the outcomeHow to live your life like this is your second chanceWhy this episode matters:Most people are chasing success through strategy, discipline, and control, but never stop to ask if they are actually aligned with the life they want. Omar has built a life around following intuition, taking bold chances, and creating surreal moments most people would talk themselves out of. This conversation is a reminder that your next breakthrough may not come from forcing harder, but from getting quiet enough to hear the next step.If you are building a business, chasing a dream, creating content, or trying to understand why certain opportunities keep missing you, this episode will make you rethink how success actually happens.Drop a comment: Do you think success comes more from strategy, discipline, or energy?If you're interested in learning more about The Light System check it out here:https://thelightsystems.shop/goetz100Use code GOETZ for access through the official affiliate link.Subscribe for more conversations about business, consciousness, manifestation, discipline, spirituality, and the parts of success most people never talk about.00:00 Intro04:15 How Omar Ended Up At Date With Destiny06:18 The Restaurant Moment That Changed Everything08:38 Omar Meets Tony Robbins In Real Life10:03 Paying Tony Robbins' Dinner Bill15:57 Why Following The Breadcrumbs Matters19:19 Why Most People Lose Touch With Their Intuition21:36 Jared's Philosophy On Infinite Possibilities24:22 Riding The Wave Instead Of Fighting It31:37 Why You Must Let Go Of Good Things Too40:11 Leaving Room For Magic In Your Life47:31 Intuition vs. Impulse51:23 Hard Work vs. Alignment01:18:03 The Biggest Lesson Omar Learned From His Guests01:40:40 Omar's Final Message To The Audience

12:47 AM   Your prospects don't hate your offer. They feel your desperation. And that's what's killing your sales. In this episode, Ray Higdon gets brutally honest about one of the most overlooked killers of conversion: the energy you bring into every sales conversation. Whether you call it eagerness, pushiness, or commission breath, prospects sense it and it sends them running, even when they actually want what you're selling. Ray breaks down three concrete steps to eliminate desperate energy from your prospecting for good. Step one: talk to more people. When you only have two prospects in your pipeline, desperation is almost unavoidable. When you're consistently reaching out to 30, 40, or 50 people a week, you stop fixating on any single outcome. Step two: stop focusing on your solution and start focusing on the problem your prospect has actually told you about. If you don't know what they're struggling with, it's likely because you've never asked. Step three: develop posture. Posture is the ability to manage the energy of a conversation without chasing, guilting, or pressuring. Ray shares the exact mindset he carried when reaching out to his warm market as he became the number one income earner in his company: "I'm going to do this with or without you." This episode is a masterclass in sales psychology for network marketers, direct sellers, and anyone who's ever felt like they were trying too hard. If you're ready to close more sales by caring less about any one outcome, this is the episode you've been waiting for. —

If your sales are slow and your effort isn't producing results, this episode is exactly what you need. Ray Higdon breaks down the 10 specific reasons why people aren't buying from you — and these aren't the generic tips you've heard before. From not talking to enough people, to focusing on your solution instead of your prospect's problem, to the often-overlooked mistake of sending a video that's completely incongruent with your invite, Ray exposes the real friction points that are quietly killing conversions for network marketers and salespeople at every level. Ray also goes deep on the belief barriers that most sales trainers never address: what to do when you secretly don't believe your product will work, when you're unsure of its value, or when you don't feel like you deserve the income you're chasing. He covers the critical role of posture, why sloppy follow-up is costing you more sales than any objection ever could, and how a mismatched social media bio can send prospects running before you even get to your pitch — sharing a real client example of Christie Morgan, who generated $100,000 in personal commissions in under 60 days once her outreach and bio aligned. The episode closes with one of the most powerful — and most ignored — sales principles: mental rehearsal. Ray challenges you to stop rehearsing failure and start visualizing the win, connecting this mindset shift to both elite athletic performance and a foundational scripture from Mark 11:24. If you're in a product or service you believe in, this episode is your reminder that getting better at selling isn't optional — it's your responsibility. —

Keith welcomes back Rich Dad author Robert Kiyosaki to discuss why debt, inflation, and financial education are critical in today's economy.  Robert challenges traditional advice like "save money and pay off your house," explaining how understanding good debt and owning real assets can accelerate wealth while inflation quietly punishes savers.  They explore how family background and early beliefs shape our money mindset, and why questioning conventional wisdom is essential.  The conversation ultimately stresses that financial education only matters if you take action and intentionally position yourself for turbulent times instead of fearing them.

This is Get Rich Education.   Keith Weinhold  2:30   Welcome to GRE from Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to Williams, Arizona, and across 188 nations worldwide. You're inside one of America's longest running and most listened to real estate shows, this is Get Rich Education. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. And with Father's Day this month, it's apropos to talk about Rich Dad. It's been said that the objective of parenting is to turn a liability into an asset. The book Rich Dad Poor Dad has now sold over 40 million copies, and it's been translated into 51 languages. One strong thesis in the book: well, there are a few of them: the rich don't work for money, savers are losers, and your house is not an asset. I think any regular listener here to the GRE podcast is already initiated on this. Savers or losers, because inflation debases your prosperity, and your house is not an asset, because it takes money out of your pocket every month. An asset puts money in your pocket every month instead. And I can see Robert now as he's preparing to take the mic with me here, he's got a blown up visual of his cash flow board game behind him, and then in front of him he's got a few books, including two books that he co-authored with Donald Trump, but this is before Trump was ever a political candidate, so it was before all that, and we're certainly not here to talk politics today. A central theme of the Rich Dad world is that the path for your significant financial betterment is rather than cutting your expenses, increase your income. This is the root action behind the mantra: don't live below your means, grow your means, but see, living below your means is easier. That's the easy thing to do. It's even myopic, say move into a lesser housing situation, or cut out going on vacations. Growing your means takes some education, like how to start a business, or how to own real estate. See, when you deposit money into a bank, all of a sudden that bank has a problem, they owe you interest on it, it's an expense for them. So the bank's job is now to lend your money out to somebody else and make a higher interest rate on it than. Lower interest rate that they're paying you on your deposit. All right. Well, then one direction to focus your education is to start acting like a bank yourself. How do you practically do that? How do you be the bank? Well, just like the bank, you can borrow real estate at a 7% mortgage rate. Now you've got the problem, you've got a monthly mortgage payment you need to make, so you need to beat 7% How are you going to do that? You better get it right. Well, with tax deductions, you might really be paying five to 6% Meanwhile, the real estate that you've carefully identified and invested in with your borrowed capital can earn multiples more without taking high risk, and actually that five to 6% effective cost of capital that you've got is zero, because that monthly payment is all outsourced to your tenants anyway, and what made all this possible for you? Debt made it possible, and now you're acting like the bank, and banks often have the tallest skyscrapers in your city for a reason, because they make money on those spreads all over the place, and now you're doing the same thing. This is an example of growing your means. The bank will hand you 500k to buy a new home or rental property, not for stocks. They won't do that for crypto, not for your 401k not for a business idea that popped into your head at 3am Only real estate, the same institutions, banks that manage your savings and study every asset class, and are very conservative, and have armies and armies of analysts. They will only lend you a half million dollars for one thing: real estate. For a few years, I was a writer for the Rich Dad Advisors blog when that was a thing. Robert and I were most recently together publicly last year when we both served as faculty members on the Terrific Real Estate Guys Investor Summit at Sea in the Caribbean. Let's talk to Robert.    Keith Weinhold  7:18   I'd like to welcome back to the show for his fifth appearance here on the GRE podcast. Well, just the number one selling personal finance author of all time. He wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad in 1997 and has ruled the Rich Dad world ever since. It's a warm get worse education. Welcome back to Robert Kiyosaki.   Robert Kiyosaki  7:38   Thank you, Keith. You know, nobody's more surprised about the success of Rich Dad Poor Dad than me, because it was turned down by every publisher in New York. It was like Simon and Schuster and all these guys, and they said, Why are you turning it down? They said, You don't know what you're talking about. It was consensus about the five editors of different book companies was what you're saying doesn't make sense, that's how strange it was back 1997 and now it's the number one in the world.   Keith Weinhold  8:10   This is often how it is when something strikes someone differently, like the Star Wars movies had difficulty getting traction because it was so unusual, and fortunately, Robert, today the consensus among readers has seen that, oh my gosh, Rich Dad Poor Dad changed my thinking more than anything else. The contrarian thinker,   Robert Kiyosaki  8:34   you know, strike Rich Dad, Poor Dad. My poor dad was academic, you know, PhD, yeah. So he'd be the kind of guy that says your book makes no sense, whereas my rich dad never went to school because his father died when he was 13 and he had to take over the family business. So much of a young person's life is predicated upon their parents or where the family or the culture you come from, and I've been studying more of that, like let's say I was raised in Alabama, I'd have a southern accent but because of the environment it presents it upon you, as the same as money, if a child is born into a poor family, or in my case an academic family, the value systems are all different. My family, and it's still true today. Got to go to school, get a job, and get a pension with the government. That's their whole belief system, and they're so proud of this. Is my brothers and uncles, and all that. They're so proud when their child has what's called a GS, and a government service pension, that's the whole idea on finance, get that pension, job security,   Keith Weinhold  9:49   yeah,   Speaker 1  9:49   nothing wrong with it, nothing wrong with it, but a lot of times we can't hear something because of what's been compressed into us by our culture, our. Family, so my, you know, my poor dad was always, you have to get your PhD, or what? God got a PhD. So my brothers and sisters, their kids are all getting their PhDs. It's fascinating. It's fascinating.   Keith Weinhold  10:14   Yeah, when your poor dad tells you you need to get your PhD, and you're asking for what? Maybe the answer was for him. So our parents, yes, they're often our first teachers.   Speaker 2  10:25   It's just values, very different values. And the more I kind of study it, I don't think I'm a good student of it, but there's this thing called a paradigm matrix, and a paradigm matrix is what is like a cookie cutter, so like father, like son, you know, like mother, like daughter, so much of our lives are transferred by our parents and our schools and things like this, and so that's why Rich Dad Poor Dad, for some people it works, but when it first came out, 1997 as you said, it was strange. I said, you know, the savers were losers, and today everybody knows inflation is going to the roof. I said, your house is not an asset. I got hammered for that one.   Keith Weinhold  11:11   Right.   Speaker 1  11:11   Rich don't work for money. Those are my three rich dad rules. Rich don't work for money, savers are losers, and your house is not an asset. I built Rich Dad Poor Dad around those three rules. I didn't follow my poor dad, those were his guiding lights. You know, you have to have job security, and you have to have a government pension, and my house is my biggest asset. And so you can't hear the person because you already have that paradigm magic, or that cookie cutter inside of you. This is my value system in my family. If I didn't get my PhD, I was stupid. I never got one. But anyway, you know,   Keith Weinhold  11:50   just because you believe something for a long time doesn't make it true,   Speaker 1  11:55   correct? And what's happening? Because I wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad, because I could see this economic times coming, 1971 named Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard, and I knew at that time we're going to have hyperinflation, so that it hasn't hit us quite yet. 1971 was august 15. Nixon's taking the dollar off the gold standard, and you watch what's going to happen next few years. We're going to have hyperinflation that we've never seen before, and it's gonna make the poor and middle class poorer. The rich will get richer, but poor and middle class will get poorer. Tragically,   Keith Weinhold  12:30   that is such an appropriate time to bring this up, Robert, because a lot of people are drawing parallels between the 1970s two waves of inflation during that decade, and what's going on today. I mean, there is so much fuel now that could ignite higher inflation. You've got the cumulative effects of the Iran war and the energy shocks and bottled up supply chains. And Robert, I don't know if you've heard it yet, but you and I's mutual friend, Dr. Chris Martinson, yeah, peak prosperity, there, Chris Martinson, he recently said that he would not be surprised to see 18 to 20% annual inflation in the next two to three years. That's exactly what he said.   Speaker 2  13:12   Yeah, but it's good for those who have assets, right? You see what, when things inflate, you know, like chickens and eggs and milk go up, but so do assets go up, most of them, like gold and silver, will go up, but the purchasing of the dollar will come down. Inflation is a tax, that's all it is.   Keith Weinhold  13:33   So much potential for inflation there, and a lot of this really ties in with debt, about how debtors can be enriched inflation. I think about the cantillion effect, meaning that in inflationary times those closest to the money printer win, and that usually tends to be governments, large banks, corporations with easy credit scores, but a lot of people don't realize that we can benefit from that too is everyday investors that use leverage prudent debt,   Speaker 1  14:05   right, and tell you, in effect, is basically what interest rate can you get, and how easy is money for you, and I use debt, I'm 1,000,000,002 in debt, and that scares the crap out of most people, but I use debt to get rich, and most people use debt to get poor, and again, that's family, what your education says. So, a lot has to do with early childhood development, and all that stuff. The more I study it, it really goes back to before a child was like 15. The cookie cutter has been cut.   Keith Weinhold  14:36   Yes, it goes back to not always having to believe everything that you think.   Speaker 2  14:40   We all have access to education. I have my cash flow game here. I teach people how to use debt, and Dave Ramsey says don't use debt. Well, he's a smart man too, Dave. I like him a lot, and most people should listen to Dave Ramsey, but if you're going to use debt, you'd better take some education, so. To go 1,000,000,002 in debt, man, you better know something. People aren't living paycheck to paycheck, they're living credit card to credit card now, and getting wiped out. I hate to laugh, but it's so obvious. You go, because they have no financial education, and that's why my book was turned down by all those academics in New York City, the publishers say, you don't know what you're talking about. How can I say your house is not an asset? How can I say savers are losers? How can I say the rich don't work for money? And that's what Don't Rich Dad Poor Dad on. And now it's been an international best seller, number one in the world for like 25 years.    Keith Weinhold  15:39   Yeah, well, it's so interesting that you bring up Dave Ramsey here, Robert. He often gets his followers to make a debt-free scream when they're debt free, and you know what I think, Robert, for those that scream that they're debt free, what they're doing is they're postponing screaming that they're job free or job optional, they could have been prudently leveraging dollars for profit, instead, like you and I do.   Speaker 2  16:06    Well, let me just say, Dave Ramsey's advice is good for most people. I'm saying, if you're going to learn to use debt, you know, if all you want is a job and a pension, you don't have to study that much. The biggest mistake I think ever made was at 401 k. It's going to wipe out boomer generation. It's going to.. that's the memos. I wrote this book. Here's who stole my pension, and that's when it's going to nail the boomers. They're finished, because their pensions are going to get stolen. They're four 1k IRAs. They're finished, but they do.. they listen. No, they go, they send their kids to school to get their MBA and get a, get a 401 k.   Keith Weinhold  16:46   Well, I kind of think when you have education around debt, you sort of understand this difference between productive debt and what I'll call ego debt. So, can you talk to us more about what kinds of debt make people rich today and what kinds of debt can quietly destroy them.   Speaker 2  17:02   Well, they should read Rich Dad Poor Dad. Really, I'm serious. That's all it is about, really, is I use debt to get rich, and Dave Ramsey's advice is good for those who don't want to study. So, if you're a PhD in microbiology, and you're a doctor, Dave Ramsey's advice is good for you, because you have no financial education, it's not between your right ear and your left ear. So, I had to study debt, that's the difference. It's what we study.   Keith Weinhold  17:29   And for those that are uninitiated on this, what we're talking about here is, if you've got, say, 200k to invest in real estate, and real estate's going to go up 5% a year. Okay, if you pay all cash, you only have a 5% gain on your 200k but if you get an 800k loan and now you invest in a million dollars worth of real estate, you have that entire million dollars going up 5% not just 200k and you have the tenants servicing the 800k in debt for you. This is really the path to wealth through debt, which is counterintuitive.   Speaker 1  18:02   You don't just get into debt. I mean, you really got to understand debt, and real estate doesn't always go up. It's about to crash again, and I like crashes. Don't get me wrong, I love crashes, because a crash in a stock market, bond market, real estate market is something going on sale, so like if Walmart had a sale, every poor person would run in there, but when the real estate market has a sale, all the poor people run away. I like crashes, that's when you get rich, one's coming big time, big time.   Keith Weinhold  18:33   Well, I want to learn more about that, because residential real estate in our lifetimes has only fallen significantly one time, that was in 2008 and circumstances are so different today. Today, you have responsible lending, and you don't have this oversupply that you had in 2008 So, tell us more about a potential real estate crash that's going to interest a lot of people.   Speaker 1  18:53   Well, real estate crashes, because the currency crashes. It's really the problem with the world today, and this is the whole world, is America is now what, the biggest debtor nation in world history.   Keith Weinhold  19:05   Yeah,   Speaker 1  19:05   39 trillion or something like that. And Japan is a bunch of idiots on Japanese, I can say that they save money. Why would you save money when Japan was the biggest money printer of all times? That'd be like somebody you know, sticking water in your gas tank. Why would you go and fill up with water? But that's what the Japanese were doing. They're saving money. It makes no sense. I mean, I just.. I'm just a different person, you know. I just didn't go to school like my family did. I mean, I have a college education and all that, but I studied different things after school. I studied debt, I studied real estate, and that's the big difference. So, I'm 1,000,000,002 in debt. So, in 2008 when the market crashed, you know, I borrowed 30 million bucks and leveled it up with 1,000,000,002 in debt.   Keith Weinhold  19:52   Good timing   Speaker 1  19:53   should not do what I do, but I studied it since 1974 It's debt that's not. Right now today we have oil going up. My college degree is in oil. I'm an oil tanker driver. I drove oil tankers with Standard Oil. I'm making fortunes today as the price of oil goes up, so you know, more Netanyahu and Trump bomb Iran, terrible as it is. I'm getting richer, so you don't have to be poor, but you're poor because that gap between your left ear and your right ear is empty, you know. You've been taught inflation's bad. Well, inflation is good if you're holding oil or gold or silver or some real estate. Anyway, most people have no financial education. That's why I created the cash flow board game, so you can have fun learning how to be rich. If you don't want to learn to be rich, then go to school and get your PhD.   Keith Weinhold  20:47   Sometimes, when people don't understand how real estate debt benefits them, one way I've helped people understand Robert is that, say, you have a loan balance of 112k on a piece of real estate today, that feels really small. It almost feels like something that you can pay off with what you have in your savings account, but if you go back 30 years, when the median home price is 140k 80% debt on that would have been 112k So here, 30 years later, with your 30 year fixed rate loan, you still just have that 112k in debt, while the median home price is over 400k and that's even if you hadn't made a principal payment at all, so it's really a way to visualize how inflation starts shrinking the real weight of our debt over time.   Speaker 1  21:31   My advice is I would study debt, so I take real estate courses, I'm always studying, I'm studying constantly, because the markets are changing so quickly. The biggest problem today started in 1971 when Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard. So, we're the biggest detonation in world history. I think we're going into a depression right now. So, depression plus AI coming along is going to wipe out jobs. I'm going to get richer. What are you going to do? So, I'm already planning for the future, the people that get rich can see the future. So, when you say, well, you know, back in 2008 it only crashed for a little while. Then, okay, so what? And history has proven in 1971 Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard. Every nation has collapsed. Who did that? The Chinese did it, the Romans did it, the Greeks did it, Germans did it. They print money, and so that's the real issue. It's not debt, but it's also the economic macro problems that keep going into the world. The dollar is coming down, and I'm afraid that we're going into a global depression. I hope I'm wrong, like Grant Cardone, and I have fights all the time about it, you know, because he's a big proponent of that. Real estate always goes up, it doesn't always go up,   Keith Weinhold  22:47   right?   Speaker 1  22:47   It doesn't always go up. The stock market doesn't always go up. The bond market's crashing. Everybody says, "Oh, bonds are safe. The bond market's in the biggest bubble in world history. We're going into a depression. So, what are you going to do about it? I'm afraid America is going to crash because we've taken on Iran, and Iran's a powerful, powerful force out there. I'm not in favor of it, but everybody who's messed with Iran has got kicked. So just note that as this look at history, you can see the future, but you have to be careful in the issue you follow. So, 1971 I was on an aircraft carrier in Vietnam, and my rich dad wrote me a letter. I was a marine helicopter pilot, went down three times. Rich Dad wrote me lessons. Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard, watch out, and immediately I started buying gold. So, I started buying gold at $50 an ounce to today is what, four or 5000   Keith Weinhold  23:43   Yeah,   Speaker 1  23:44   the trouble with gold is you pay high taxes on it, constant taxes too. Good luck to learn, Keith. I study constantly.   Keith Weinhold  23:52   You're listening to Get Rich Education. Our guest is Rich Ed Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold.    Keith Weinhold  23:58   What if you got your mortgage loans the same place I get mine.

If you've worked hard to build wealth, is your money positioned to actually support your goals? A lot of accredited investors leave capital sitting in cash because it feels safe, but inflation and missed income opportunities can quietly erode its value. Freedom Family Investments offers freedom notes for investors seeking structured income backed by real estate. It's a straightforward approach built on real assets, not speculation. In full disclosure, I'm an investor myself. What I like is that their team walks you through how it all works, so you can decide if it aligns with your portfolio and income goals. Every investment carries risk, and nothing is guaranteed, but with a track record of consistent on-time investor payouts, they built real credibility.

Listen to Get Rich Education with Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your daydream.   Keith Weinhold  25:47   Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I'm your host, Keith Weinholt. We're talking with the top-selling personal finance author of all time, Robert Kiyosaki.   Speaker 1  25:55   Just study history. History will see this, you'll see the future. So, this is my good friend here, McDonald. You know why he wants you to get rich, and it's this one man, one message.   Keith Weinhold  26:06   Robert's holding up a book now.   Speaker 1  26:08   You've got to get educated on money, but most people won't, so they got a 401 k, and they live debt free. Good advice. Will it protect them? No, it won't protect them from a, you know, if you lose your job, AI takes it away, or is a massive crash, but we've never been in this much debt before to you. Black generation is screwed, boomers and boomers are screwed, because we're the first generation with a four 1k that was 1974 1974 also Kissinger went to Saudi Arabia to sign the dollar up back by oil, and today my buddy here, Trump is bombing the crap out of Iran. I'm not saying it's good or bad, but the price of oil is going through the roof now. Everybody's complaining about it because of inflation, so chicken and eggs go up in price, you know. Diesel delivers chicken and eggs all over the world. I'm getting richer because I own oil wells, you see. You don't have to be poor, but you better question what they put between your left ear and your right ear. What did Mommy and Daddy tell you? Go to school, get a job, get a job with a government service. My daughter's a GS, she's got a master's from Washington State University losers,   Keith Weinhold  27:24   this untethering of the dollar from gold in 1971 that meant that there is no sovereign currency in the world today that's still tied to gold, allowing for more money printing and enriching over time debtors like you and I, but Robert, we think about how debtors are profiting, and you spoke earlier about how oftentimes your parents put all of these values inside you. How do you emotionally tolerate having a lot of debt yourself? You talked about having $1.2 billion in debt. How do you emotionally deal with that?   Speaker 1  28:00   I study, I take courses. I'm constantly in seminars studying debt. I don't study a 401 ks or bonds, that's for losers. But this is the biggest point, Keith. You got to find out. My rich had always said to me, says there's a billion ways to financial heaven. So, there's what, 8 billion people on planet earth, and 1 billion of the eight may make it to financial heaven, but there's 7 billion to financial hell, and the difference is what's between your left ear and your right ear, and that's why you may choose what you learn carefully, cash flow game, study it, have fun, practice, play, learn, but if you don't want to learn, then follow Dave Ramsey's advice. That's much better. It's better for you, really. I'm serious. And get your PhD and get a 401 k and get wiped out when you lose your job. It's up to you.   Keith Weinhold  28:54   Yeah, I mean, the debt-free mindset probably is better for most people, but I think you shouldn't aspire to want to be like most people. Most people are overweight, and they have a busted relationship, and they don't have enough money at the end of the month. So we're really not aspiring to be mediocre here, and that can mean taking on prudent debt. You wrote something in a book one time, I don't think it was Rich Dad Poor Dad, it was one of your later books. This is so simple, but I found it to be so profound and life-changing for me. And that is simply being wealthy is a choice   Speaker 1  29:28   that doesn't, what you want, it's your choice, but you better know what your choices are. What did Mommy and Daddy say to you? But also, were they doing in front of you?   Keith Weinhold  29:39   Right,   Speaker 1  29:40   were they cleaning for job security or were they buying coil wells? Like, I own Bitcoin, but they'll recommend it now. I study it. I don't really understand it that well. I have 5049 Bitcoin, not much, but as inflation goes up, my Bitcoin goes up. Also, have in theory. I'm old. I don't understand tech that well, but I buy it to learn it, to practice, to study it. Am I an expert at Bitcoin? No. So I just keep studying, that's all I'm saying. I have a choice how to put between this year and that year. That's your choice today.   Keith Weinhold  30:18   Well, that's really interesting, Robert, because some people say that you should only invest in something that you understand well, others say that you're only going to understand something well if you invest a little in it first and have a stake. Well, is there any last thought that you have, Robert, as we wind up, anything at all that a listener should know today?   Speaker 1  30:39   No, I mean, I just said it, that's it. Choose what you put between your left brain and right ear, and what do you do? What do you do in your spare time? Like studying, you can ask the people around me. I'm constantly studying, you know, because I like to win. I'm very concerned, Keith. We're going into the biggest depression in history. So, what happens when you lose your job and you can't put food on the table, that's gonna create another problem. So, I'm a big pessimist, but I'm ready for it. I have a lot of guns, so the, I call it the 5g's Okay, you have to have gold, food, I mean ground, gasoline, and guns, that's preparing for the future, the 5g will be gold, gas, ground, food, guns.   Keith Weinhold  31:27   Well, Robert, you gave us a lot to think about there, including some actionable things. It's been great having you back on the show.   Speaker 1  31:32   Okay. Well, thank you. Keep up the good work.   Keith Weinhold  31:40   I believe Robert feels that a calming economic depression would be linked to the longer term calamity about the dollar being de-pegged from gold for about 55 years now. His 1.2 billion in debt is largely, if not completely, good debt. You can learn more about Robert and the Rich Dad world@richdad.com and he and I talked more off air. As much as he stresses financial education, he emphasizes taking action after you've learned; otherwise, you really haven't gained much of anything. But the rat race is so busy that some people don't have time to care about this stuff. In fact, the difference between financial education and financial courage is action taking. That's the difference. Now, in my view, it seems that some feel like financial betterment means cutting your expenses so much that you reduce your standard of living even over the long term, and doing that for the long term, you might do some of that in the short term, earlier in your investing career, because you need some capital formation, but to me, before long, financial betterment should give you the ability to make your life better. I mean, really don't buy the boat or RV just because it's a depreciating asset. Well, you don't want to do that wastefully if you can't afford it, but if you can learn how to afford it, consider borrowing for it, investing it at a higher interest rate than the RV loan, and profiting while you enjoy the RV, some people don't even think something like that is possible. Well, that's the sort of thing financial education can do. Genuine financial betterment means that you can take the trip, it means that you can buy the boat, because what's worse, owning a depreciating asset or living a depreciating life. Big thanks to Robert Kiyosaki.    Keith Weinhold  33:47   Today, we've got a lot of great upcoming shows here on the Get Rich Education podcast. Next week, The Mad Scientist of Multifamily, Neil Bower, will be here. It's going to be a charged conversation on the state and the future of the residential real estate market. Also, I've been compiling my top 12 dirty dozen due diligence questions that are going to help you avoid mistakes when you buy a piece of income property, like for example, How do you be sure that a build to rent community isn't overbuilt with supply, and why you should always get a property inspection, even on a new construction property that's coming in future weeks, and if you're a new listener and still learning about how to prudently use debt to build wealth, you're in luck. Just eight weeks ago, on episode 600 it's an episode where it's just me talking to you, called Debt is the American dream. Be sure to check out that show until next week.

What does it actually take to build an empire, and what do you have to overcome within yourself to get there? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius sits down with Elena Cardone, entrepreneur, philanthropist, investor, and bestselling author of “Build an Empire: How to Have it All”. Elena opens up about a childhood marked by profound loss, how she left New Orleans at 17 with nothing but a dream of making it in Hollywood, and the pivotal moment in 2008 that changed everything. When the financial crisis brought her and Grant to the edge of losing it all, Elena made a decision that would reshape her identity, her marriage, and her future. Elena and Darius go deep on what it really means to build a life by design. From defining roles in a marriage so both partners can operate at 100%, to confronting the subconscious patterns that quietly sabotage success, this conversation is raw, honest, and full of hard-won wisdom. Elena also shares how understanding the reactive mind through Dianetics became the single most transformative tool in her personal and professional life, and why she credits it as the foundation of everything she and Grant have built together.

Most salespeople and network marketers believe their closing problem is a leads problem. In this episode, Ray Higdon dismantles that excuse and reveals the two root causes behind why talented, motivated people consistently fail to close — even when they're generating leads every day. Ray shares a real, unscripted example from back-to-back major podcast appearances that perfectly exposes the single most costly mistake in sales: pitching your solution before you've ever diagnosed your prospect's real problem. Whether you're selling health and wellness products, coaching services, or business opportunities, this episode will immediately change how you approach every sales conversation. Ray breaks down why surface-level answers like "lose weight" or "make money" are not the prospect's real problem — and why stopping there is quietly costing you 30% of the sales and lives you could be impacting. You'll hear exactly what a problem-first discovery conversation sounds like, how to expand a prospect's pain before ever introducing your solution, and why the best closers in the world lead with curiosity, not a pitch deck. This is the training most sales coaches never give you, and it works whether you're in cold market outreach, warm market conversations, or anywhere in between. If you're serious about closing more sales, building a stronger team, and creating real impact with your product, service, or opportunity — this episode is the mindset and skill shift you've been waiting for. Ray's message is direct, practical, and grounded in real-world experience: the leads are not your problem. Your approach is. And that means it's completely within your power to fix it today. —

Most people want results… but they don't want the process.They post a few videos, don't see results, and stop. Then they think others just got lucky. That's not how it works.In this video, I break down what it really takes to go from zero attention to real momentum, what happens behind the scenes, and what it takes to stay in the game long enough to win.It's not fast. It's not pretty. It's not linear. It starts small… and then it compounds.The difference is simple: consistency.Keep showing up, improve your message, and stay committed.This is not about going viral. It's about building something that lasts.#contentcreation #entrepreneurship #socialmediagrowth #digitalmarketing #consistency #businessgrowth #contenttips #socialmediamarketing ---------------About Manuel Suarez:Manuel Suarez, known as the Marketing Ninja and a best-selling author of Marketing Magic, leads Attention Grabbing Media (AGM), a marketing agency honored three times on the Inc 5000 list.

You already have 300+ leads sitting in your social media connections right now — Ray Higdon is here to show you exactly why you're not reaching them, and the one skill that changes everything. In this episode, Ray breaks down the power of cold market messaging: what it is, why most salespeople avoid it out of fear or uncertainty, and how mastering it means you will literally never run out of people to prospect for the rest of your life. This isn't a trick or a loophole — it's a proven outreach skill grounded in psychology, intentional language, and consistent action. Ray shares his three favorite cold market approaches — Location, Occupation, and Intelligent Comment — and walks through how he's actively using them right now to prospect for a business and faith-based program he recently joined. You'll hear how one woman in Ray's challenge had never gotten a lead as far into the process as she did after applying these frameworks, simply because she learned how to say the right things in a more powerful way. Ray makes it clear: cold market never runs out, and when you combine skill with volume, sales are inevitable. If you've been sitting on hundreds of connections you've never messaged, this episode is your wake-up call. Ray lays out the two variables that determine your results — the quality of your messaging skills and the number of messages you're willing to send — and reminds you that the compound effect of consistent outreach typically produces its biggest results in the first 14 to 30 days. Show up, do the work, and start treating your social media connections as the goldmine they already are. —

In today's episode, I sit down with Grant Cardone, entrepreneur, real estate investor, bestselling author, and founder of the 10X movement, to talk about turning setbacks into fuel for something bigger. Grant shares how dissatisfaction can become a divine signal to grow, why success often starts before belief catches up, and how he learned to build businesses by doing the math backward from impossible targets. We also talk about time, money, real estate, leverage, social media, and the difference between chasing stages and building a platform that creates lasting relationships, impact, freedom, and a clearer path to becoming everything you are capable of becoming.

What if the thing that's holding you back isn't a lack of talent… but a lack of relentless standards, awareness, and the willingness to push just one more time? In this mashup, I brought together some of the most driven, disciplined, and mentally tough performers I've ever sat down with, and we go deep on what really separates winners from everyone else. You're going to hear from people like Eric Thomas, Lewis Howes, Grant Cardone, Alan Stein Jr., and Ryan Hawk, and every one of them brings a different angle on the same truth: success is not an accident. It's a decision backed by habits, standards, and daily discipline. We talk about the hidden “dream killers” that quietly derail your future before you even realize what's happening. Things like discouragement, comparison, and the voices that cause you to question your worth and your direction. I share how awareness alone can strip these obstacles of their power, because once you can identify what's working against you, you can finally start to take control of it. Eric Thomas brings the intensity and reminds you what it means to go all in when nobody is watching. Grant Cardone challenges you to think bigger and operate at a level where average simply is not an option. Lewis Howes opens up about overcoming internal barriers and aligning your life with purpose. Alan Stein Jr. and Ryan Hawk break down what elite performers do differently, and it always comes back to preparation, consistency, and standards that most people are not willing to live by. And I want you to really hear this part. The difference between you and the person you want to become is not some massive leap. It is the willingness to do one more. One more call. One more rep. One more hour. That mindset compounds over time and becomes your identity. It builds confidence, because confidence comes from keeping the promises you make to yourself. This episode is not just about getting motivated. It is about getting honest with yourself. Are you operating at your true standard, or are you negotiating with your potential? Because the truth is, you were not born to live an average life. You were born to max out. And the sooner you start acting like it, the sooner everything in your life begins to change. Key Takeaways: Awareness is power. When you identify the obstacles holding you back, they lose their grip on you Discouragement and comparison are silent dream killers that must be confronted head on Elite performers train to a higher standard, not just their current competition Confidence is built by keeping promises to yourself, not by waiting to feel ready The habit of “one more” is the ultimate separator between average and extraordinary Success is not about talent. It is about consistency, preparation, and discipline over time
