SUMMARY: Today’s guest is Tom Lopatosky, the owner of Lopco Contracting out of Providence, Rhode Island. During college, Tom was presented with the opportunity to run a student painting franchise and grabbed it. He was 18-years-old at the time and had to find a way to pay for school. Though Tom encountered many difficulties in his first year, he continued to run the franchise every summer and gained more confidence each time. Upon graduating with a major in marketing and finance, Tom was faced with making the decision of going to work for someone else or starting a business on his own. He chose to be an entrepreneur but ended up on a peculiar path which allowed him to both work on his own business and continue running the franchise. Tom discusses how he came to an agreement with the franchiser that enabled this unique situation, which was heavily influenced by Tom’s strong work ethic and desire to always exceed customer expectation. He also shares tips about networking and how he runs his business day-to-day. ------------------- WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: How Tom found flexibility from the franchise he worked under. How to get the mindset of “deliver every time.” How to overcome nervousness and meet people at networking events. Marketing tactics that are working for Tom. Believing in something and following it through. ------------------- QUOTES: “Everybody’s conditioned with ‘you have to go to school’…In the grand scheme of things, I can say it was great for putting a foundation in place…But, I learned a lot more just getting out there and running my business on my own…than anyone would have ever been able to teach me in school.” “You’ve got to stack the deck. In other words, you need to put the chips so far in your corner that when you ask them something, it’s like they don’t have a choice but to work on something with you.” “At Business Network International, if you find the right group, it works better than anything else from a networking standpoint because it’s so structured. If you follow their system, you will get business.” “I love to talk about myself. I’ll talk about myself all day, but I have to discipline myself to stay on the line…Find out everything you can about this person. That’s your goal…You want to get them to talk about themselves as much as possible.” “If you can, as a business, help your clients out by introducing them to a solution for a problem they have, they’re going to pay you to do it if they have that kind of trust in you. I think that’s a big part of the growth of a business.” ------------------- HIGHLIGHTS: [02:47] How did Tom get started in painting?

Brad catches up with Guinness World Record holding ultra-endurance athlete Tom Seabourne, a professor of Exercise Physiology at Northeast Texas Community College who has pushed the limits of human endurance with numerous finishes in what Outside magazine calls the toughest athletic event in the world: The non-stop solo bicycle Race Across America (RAAM). Tom and Brad reminisce about the old days where Tom was on the cheapest crew in the history of the race, while Brad was part of Johnny G’s most expensive crew in the history of the race. Tom was 103 miles from the finish line at 3,000 miles when he was eliminated on time. Heartbreak, but it got him “addicted” to the event, which he went on to finish several times. Cycling over 300 miles for 22 hours a day is pretty tough, but Tom’s crew follies were epic. Once, his team lost him in the California desert soon after the start. Another time his relay team members bailed in Utah! Tom also set a Guinness World record for the longest stationary bike ride of 185 hours - over 7 days (watching The Office re-runs helped pass the time)! The record performance, notwithstanding the “urine explosion” incident, that you have to hear to believe. As a “horrible carb addict” during his ultramarathon cycling days, Tom actually developed Type 1.5 diabetes (fasting glucose 450!) despite being at 5% body fat. He also developed atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, which are now becoming commonplace maladies among extreme endurance athletes. Learn what’s happening in the mind of an ultra king during these long efforts, which Tom describes as a flow-like experience. Brad welcomes Tom Seabourne who is doing amazing athletic exploits while battling various health conditions. [00:00:16] What is the Race Across America (RAAM)? What was Tom's experience? [00:01:45] How did Tom's plantar fasciitis get cured? [00:08:28] What is entailed in being on the crew for this race? [00:09:45] Never try something without having the training or having sponsors for it! [00:16:26] He had a history of horrible eating. [00:20:53] What about calories in and calories out? [00:23:35] What happened when Tom did the record-setting ride on the Spinner bike? [00:25:01] Tom talks about his atrial fibrillation. [00:31:35] Has Tom changed his approach to training since the heart problems? Is he addicted? [00:35:33] Does Brad think about going back to the triathlon? [00:39:07] Is something special about the sort of meditative experience we have when riding? [00:40:57] What is a Type 1.5 diabetic? How is he handling it? What is the difference between Type 1 and 2? [00:53:27] What is the ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation? Don't wait too long to take care of yourself. [01:01:08] Check out Tom’s book on Amazon called, Glitches Into Gold LINKS: Glitches Into Gold: https://www.amazon.com/Glitches-into-Gold-Live-Champion/dp/0998833967/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1530055780&sr=8-1&keywords=glitches+into+gold Race Across America: http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/ QUOTES: Never try something without having training for it!

There's a new Tom Cruise movie in town. Usually you can't exape them but there's not a lot of buzz about "American Made." Why is that? Has Tom lost his mojo? We bring in Roger Friedman of Showbiz411.com who has all sorts of theories as to why Tom's not jumping up and down on couches for this movie even though it's pretty good (hint: it involves lawyers). Then Roger helps us sort though the glut of movies coming to The Hamptons International Film Festival and the New York Film Festival. And stay tuned for Roger's amazing personal connection with the upcoming film "Marshall." All the movies you'll be talking about this awards season we're talking about right now. Give a listen.
