My guest today is John Fiorentino. John is a product inventor and entrepreneur who, in the space of a few years, has bootstrapped four products; Gravity Blanket, Moon Pod, Moon Pals, and Birthdate Candles which have collectively sold hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue. Our conversation is quite different than normal. Alongside his successful brands, John has had a range of life experiences – from starting as a Jazz musician to working for Justin Bieber - that give him an original worldview. I was especially interested in his points around product positioning, creating magic for consumers, not letting yourself become the product, and how to build enduring brands. Please enjoy this great conversation with John Fiorentino.

For this week's podcast guest, those lessons helped him build a multi-million dollar brand that's now a household name and has made a difference in wellness for thousands of people. Welcome to Building While Flying! This weekly podcast is brought to you by the Sasha Group. We're the small-to-medium-sized business arm of the VaynerX family of companies. We help ambitious companies build strong brands that flex with the times through strategy, branding, media, and marketing. In ever-changing times, businesses and brands have to shift and adapt.

Our pilots, Katie Hankinson and Mickey Cloud, will be talking to a diverse range of business leaders and founders. They'll explore how these guests tackle various challenges while staying resilient and committed to growth. Through these real-life examples of strategies put into practice, we hope to inspire you to experiment and develop your own strategies as we all navigate these uncertain times together. Mike Grillo is the CEO and co-founder of Gravity Products, home to the world-famous Gravity Blanket. He's an advertising and marketing industry veteran who began his career in crisis communications before pivoting to social and digital media. In 2011, he became an early member of Gary Vaynerchuk's eponymous agency, VaynerMedia. It's through his time at Vayner that he developed his love of brand building and fostered his entrepreneurial spirit. After founding Gravity Blankets in 2017, Mike and his team sold the brand to the WIN Brands Group in 2021 for its next phase of growth. In their conversation, Mike and Mickey dive into the birth of Gravity Blankets—from product design to a successful Kickstarter campaign to getting retail space in a large department store. They discuss branding on a budget and embracing the “scrappy” agency attitude to build a successful brand. Mike also discusses the balance of retail and DTC, stressing that people shop in different ways and the consumer journey is often complex. Lastly, Mike shares why WIN Brands Group felt like the perfect fit to acquire Gravity Blankets—and why that decision is so important. Other in-flight topics: Transferable skills from agency to brand side Product design and production Retail vs DTC Importance of strong retail presence Branding a new product on a tight budget Product expansion and testing what your audience likes Finding the right partner to sell your brand Links: Website: https://gravityblankets.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gravityblankets/?hl=en Mike's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikegrillzmadeit/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaeljgrillo/ Thanks so much for tuning in this week.

The single best way to build a million-dollar business is to solve a problem you have in your life at the moment. For John Fio, one of those problems was stress and anxiety. One day he was talking to a doctor who casually mentioned that sleeping under a blanket that’s equal to 10% of your body weight, triggers a calming response in your body that can dramatically reduce anxiety. A light-bulb went off, and John went to work…A few months later, he launched the idea for the weighted blanket on Kickstarter. No one knew what a weighted blanket was, but people just seem to intuitively understand how it could help them, and how it works. Within 24 hours, they’d sold over $1 million in pre-orders. Within their first 30 days, they’d made over $5 million in sales, and the Gravity Blanket was born. Today, John’s going to fill you in on the entire story, and we’re going to discuss several important pieces of the puzzle that will be incredibly useful for everyone…For example, should you invest time and money into patents? And how do you fend off lower-priced competition, which they were swamped by within months? Next, John and I dive into the dark side of entrepreneurship, including the hustle and grind lifestyle, and the expectations we can put on ourselves to accomplish big things, and make a difference in the world. This is an absolutely fascinating interview with some lessons that will serve you for the rest of your career. Now before we dive in, I have some pretty big news for you… I’m incredibly excited to share that I’m launching my new business on March 1st. After nearly 3 years of being sidelined by my health crisis, I’ve spent the past year personally focused on a single topic, which is creating passive income. Dealing with a brain injury and unable to work for more than two years was insanely hard. Dealing with all of that without passive income made it 10 times harder, and it was an eye-opening experience. The company is called Richer Every Day, and our mission is simple… It’s to show business owners how to get a little richer every single day, by turning their active income, into passive investment income. If you’re a business owner, it’s safe to say that 99% of your time is focused on revenue and growth. But unfortunately no one in this industry talks about what to do with that money once you make it, and that’s a massive problem. So Michelle and I made it our mission to hit $100,000 per month in passive investment income within the next 5 years. If you’d like to see how we’re doing that, I’ll show you on March 1st. But our strategy is just one piece of the puzzle. What’s even more important and valuable than a strategy, is invisible work taking place in the mind behind it. Specifically, your mind, and how all of your financial decisions in life are driven by your neuro-chemistry and subconscious programming. These two factors are ultimately what determine a person’s financial success in life, and unfortunately, 99% of people in the world are completely unaware of them, and how to rewire these dominant mental components in a way that will allow you to create wealth and financial security in a truly effortless manner. If you’ve ever read my book Magnetic Sponsoring, you know that it introduced a completely new paradigm shift that changed an entire industry. Richer Every Day is going to do the same when it comes to money and investing. I can’t wait to show you what I’ve learned and what we’ve been able to accomplish using this system. If you’d like to be one of the first people in the world to see it in action, just head to RicherEveryDay.com now.

My House Has a Mold Problem, What Do I Do? In this episode of The Live Life Longer Show, I interview Michael Rubino, an innovative expert in mold contamination and remediation. We discuss mold remediation, contamination, mold toxicity and what to do if your house has a mold problem. Michael and his company All American Restoration have been featured in USA Today, NJBiz, Reader's Digest, New Jersey Monthly, and Digital Trends. He was also selected as a speaker for the Spring 2020 Indoor Air Quality Association Meeting and Expo.

It's on removing all traces of mold, the spores they leave behind and the toxins produced by the mold. He's discovered that a person suffering from hypersensitivity to mold needs all three types of decontamination to regain their health. To educate those who are suffering, Michael wrote the book Mold Medic. In detail, he advises readers how to choose a mold remediation company and the exact processes that company should be using.

In this episode, we talk to John Fiorentino, a serial entrepreneur who created wildly popular consumer products for sleep, stress and anxiety: Gravity Blanket, Moon Pods, and Moon Pals. He’s also the creator of personalized astrology candles called Birthdate Candles. John shares with us the philosophical insights he found on his journey to success. We discuss the two questions you should ask yourself before starting a company, the one path to greatness, what money actually represents, why we should love America again, and the existential war on fun.

Silicon Valley loves its disruption. If any industry was prepared to handle the monumental changes brought on by the coronavirus, it’s big tech. Companies like Twitter and Facebook were some of the first to require their employees to work from home, even before official shelter-in-place orders went into effect. Now, they and others have extended their remote work policies to allow their employees to telecommute from home forever, even after the pandemic ends. This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED senior writer Arielle Pardes joins us to talk about the workplace goings-on in Silicon Valley. In the second half of the show, we discuss Clubhouse, the hot new social network keeping tech bigwigs connected. Show Notes: Read Arielle’s stories about Clubhouse and how Silicon Valley is rethinking the home office. Read Sarah Frier’s story in Bloomberg about tech workers wanting to escape Silicon Valley’s high rents here. Read more about automatic espresso machines from WIRED reviews editor Jeffrey Van Camp here. Read more about Eat Your Books from Joe Ray here.

“Restriction kindles creativity; and crisis the opportunity for growth.”Rich RollA diversion from my typical format, today I sit down with my wife Julie Piatt to discuss the coronavirus pandemic.For those unfamiliar, Julie is an accomplished yogi, healer, musician, and mom to our four children. She is the author of three bestselling vegan cookbooks and hosts both the For The Life of Me podcast and Water Tiger, her online spiritual community. In addition, she is the founder and ‘Mother Arc’ of SriMu, her recently launched plant-based cheese start-up.This is a conversation about exercising care and self-care as we delicately wade through these most unprecedented waters.It's about replacing fear, anxiety and uncertainty with acceptance. Surrender. Creativity. Faith. And self-inquiry.It's about navigating calamity with grace. Finding the opportunity in crisis.It's about leaning into what is to reflect more deeply on our lives. And mindful response over reflexive reaction.And finally, it's about seizing sequestration to contemplate a better path forward for ourselves, future generations, and the planet.Without minimizing the severity of what is and what is to come, may we come together now -- in this virtual space -- to grow.Because we’re in this together. And together we are stronger.As always, subscribe and listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.May you find comfort in this exchange.Peace + Plants,Episode SponsorsTheragun: To experience the deep muscle massager that’s unlike anything you’ve ever felt — risk-free for 30 days or your money back— visit theragun.com/richroll.

“Resistance is always lying and always full of shit.”John Joseph500 EPISODES.Over seven years ago, I sat down in a damp and echo-y warehouse on the north shore of Kauai and hit record for the very first time.There was no agenda. No commitment to even record a second episode. And certainly zero idea that what began as a fun experiment would evolve into both a passion and a vocation.And yet here we are. Without fail, beginning in late 2012, I have uploaded at least one episode every single week, amassing over 1000 hours of conversation and a global audience that downloads this show more than 3 million times a month — in total, over 70 million streams and counting.The numbers are great, but they fail to capture what is truly meaningful: the opportunity to go deep and unfiltered with some of the most amazing people currently walking planet Earth; and in turn share their incredible wisdom with all of you.Today I give thanks for taking this journey with me -- a calling and a service I consider the best job in the world. It's been a privilege -- a great honor and a profound responsibility I don’t take lightly.I believe in celebrating milestones. So today we do just that. And we do it in style with two of my most most beloved brothers from other mothers.Enter John Joseph and Mishka Shubaly.Between these two gentlemen, I count 14 total previous appearances on the show, including one vivid episode five years past (RRP #95) that involved the three of us huddled on a small bed in a cramped New York City hotel room.Today we fertilize our bromance, reprising those sweet sweet punk rock, Algonquin table vibes with another turntable spin on plants & punk. On running and writing. And on addiction & sobriety. For those new to the show, beloved brother John Joseph is the product of an almost impossible-to-imagine hard boiled upbringing. Born into abuse and reared on the mean streets of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, John spent his youth in and out of foster care. Struggling to simply survive, it’s a life marred by violence, homelessness, drugs, addiction, crime and prison. Ultimately music saved his life -- and gave him an entirely new one. Best known for fronting the legendary hard core band Cro-Mags, today John lives a life of sobriety, PMA (positive mental attitude) and ahimsa -- non-violence.A Bhakti-yoga devotee, John is also an 11-time Ironman finisher (2 of which he completed with a hernia), motivational speaker, and author of three books: Evolution of a Cro-Magnon, Meat Is For Pussies, and The PMA Effect. Now 57, he continues to ferociously tour, perform, write, speak and serve his fellow man -- all fueled on a 100% plant-based diet.I can’t think of a better way to describe little brother Mishka other than stubborn. If you’ve been a listener since day one, then this gravelly voiced, self-deprecating creative should ring a warm bell for you. A cult singer-songwriter and obstinate van dwelling vagabond, Mishka is no stranger to getting in his own way. But he’s also a master storyteller. Lauded for his beguiling tales of drink, drugs, disasters, desire, deception, and their aftermath, he somehow landed a post at Yale University, where apparently students pay money and attention to hear what he has to say about creative writing.Best known for his many chart topping Kindle Singles, I first came across Mishka by way of The Long Run, a short story that quite annoyingly continues to outsell Finding Ultra. His memoir, I Swear I’ll Make It Up To You is a beautiful and touching chronicle of talent, addiction, pain and redemption. And Mishka's latest work, almost too predictably titled This Van Could Be Your Life, is your next must read.This one is all over the place. No point in even trying to describe it other than that Mishka showed up with a bottle of Pepto Bismol. Kinda says it all.Heads Up: This conversation is packed with expletives. It might even hold the RRP f-bomb record. As many of you know, these laddies simply can’t be muzzled, nor would you want them to be. So just an alert that this episode is neither family friendly nor workplace approved. So pop on the earbuds if you got kiddos in the backseat. And If you’re easily offended, perhaps this one isn’t your cup of tea.500 episodes. It feels good. So good, I wore a coat and tie to mark the occasion, which you can of course watch on YouTube. And as always, the audio version streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.Here's to celebrating with those you love dearly.I sincerely hope you enjoy the exchange.Peace + Plants,Listen, Watch & Subscribe Apple Podcasts | YouTube | Spotify | Stitcher | Google PodcastsThanks to this week’s sponsorsGravity Blankets: The top-rated weighted blanket, this product literally changed my life -- helping me fall asleep faster and keep me asleep longer.

“Fun over fast. That’s generally what I tell people.”Rickey GatesThere are athletes. And there are artists. Rare is the individual that inhabits the best of both worlds.Meet Rickey Gates.Both idiosyncratic and extraordinary, you may know Rickey as a distinguished ultra-runner. But peer just beneath the surface of his many athletic accomplishments and you will discover a thoughtful, deeply empathetic and uniquely expressive human.After nearly a decade competing on the national and international mountain, trail and ultra running circuits, Rickey took his love for endurance, storytelling, photography and design -- and fused them together to create an ongoing series of project-based, performance art adventures.Deemed "the rambling poet of the running world" by Outside magazine, Rickey is a true conceptual artist -- leveraging numerous mediums to communicate a personal and humanist perspective on the inner workings of society, self, nature and human potential.Notable ventures include his solo, unsupported run across America. The upcoming, exquisite and arresting feature film Transamericana that chronicles it. And his debut book Cross Country that travels inside Rickey's 3,700 mile journey through over 200 photographs, stories of individuals and ultimately the innermost depths of his own mind. Hitting shelves April 14, 2020, the book is available for pre-order now.In addition, and the project he is perhaps best known for, in 2018 Rickey ran every single street in the city of San Francisco. A feat as logistically challenging as it was athletic, the 1,300 mile undertaking involved running 30 miles every day for 46 days, along the way logging 150,000 feet of elevation gain and meeting countless fascinating people along the way. A master stroke of creative movement, it's a feat that grabbed headlines around the world. Underscored the importance of human connection. Symbolized the value of community. Celebrated human potential. And in turn, inspired countless people to mimic in their own respective cities.I implore all of you to check out Every Single Street, a beautiful short film produced by Salomon that perfectly captures the spirit of this endeavor.In between his feats of artistic and endurance grandeur, Rickey hosts adventure running retreats called Bus Run Bus and Hut Run Hut, with a trail run adventure retreat in Japan scheduled for September 2020.What strikes me most is Rickey's profound empathy for people. His curiosity about the world. His poetic lens on the human condition. And his multi-disciplinarian vision for a better more unified world.Running's Jack Kerouac, it's not often you encounter a human as present, thoughtful, and creative as Rickey. A man who reminds me that we can all connect more profoundly with our natural environments and communities. Express ourselves more authentically. And love more deeply.Today, Rickey shares his story. And it is an absolute gift.I encourage you to watch it all go down on YouTube, as we weave in footage from Rickey's cross-country run and the upcoming film Transamericana. And as always, the audio version streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.My hope is that this conversation will leave you deeply touched -- and better than before.Peace + Plants,Listen, Watch & Subscribe Apple Podcasts | YouTube | Spotify | Stitcher | Google PodcastsThanks to this week’s sponsorsHealth IQ: Health IQ uses science & data to secure lower rates on life insurance for people committed to living well – people like you and me.

Her mother was going to die from glial blastoma cancer…but, with interventions like keto, she is still alive. 04:48 Steph is keto/carnivore. She is aware of the anti-nutrients in plant foods. 05:04 Steph had her clients use glucometers, track sleep and track digestive issues, starting long before it is popular. 05:59 Animal fats work better for her clients than plant fats. 06:47 She is the 200 grams of fat person. Increasing animal fats tended to increase ketones and her clients began to feel better. 08:06 Steph encourages her clients to avoid “fat bombs”. Instead they should add fat to bone broth, meat broth or fatty tea. 08:58 If you have an energy crisis, you should not be drinking coffee to get through your day. Steph has gotten thousands of people off coffee and they all have done better. 15:08 Steph used to be a pro vert skateboarder and had an accident with a disabling knee injury. She had 10 surgeries and was on crutches for 4 years. She didn’t skate for 18 years. She skates now, but adaptively due to her injuries. 20:01 Steph’s strategy is gym workouts, dietary measures, minimize stress, improve sleep quality and keto. Steph appreciates every physical gain. 21:10 Women need to get out of their head that they will get big bulky muscles. 21:59 You don’t need the gym. You can use body weight and calisthenics or things like it. 22:50 Work out with the posture of a ballerina to maximize gain. 23:38 Food entrains your circadian rhythm. 25:26 Fasting and keto often plays into the obsession to be thin. 28:51 It is important to address the issue that is prompting people to need to fast. 34:16 Steph coaches and has a course to teach people to do low carb/high fat the right way. 35:57 Steph’s desert island nutrient is liver. Everything you need to survive is in it. She eats it every day. Consuming kidney helps with histamine issues and leaky gut.
