If you watched my live last week then this might sound familiar. If you didn't catch it then you are in for a real treat-- because I'm telling you hear AND with MORE details.  This ACTUALLY happened to me. I ACTUALLY lived this. And you know what? I now TOTALLY understand how you can live next door to a murderer and not know a single thing. SOURCES: MYSELF!!!

Look guys it's no secret that Biden can't talk. His competence goes in and out and that isn't me talking from a right side perspective either. Any doctor looking from the outside in would agree, in fact, maybe I'll have one on just to get that out of the way. In this episode, you'll find that we played a coupld of recordings of the G7 Summit and a recording of a CBS reporter asking Biden what his plan is for the Russia NATO meetings. He could not answer. Actually I still don't really know what they talked about and the first meeting happened today, Wednesday June 16th. If you guys are listening for the first time, thank you. The only thing I ask is that if you like the show, please share it with your friends. We all want the truth and this is how we get it.

“I want to be selling my services with confidence and talk about them regularly online”   Before I start working with clients they get a journal prompt document sent to them.    One of the things I see come up, again and again, is they want to be confident with their services and be able to talk about them online.    A big shift for me and my business was when I ACTUALLY started talking about my services, how you can work with me, and what the transformation looks like because yes, we can give all this value and show up online but if you are not talking about your services, how do people know they can work with you?   So when you have this MASSIVE mission on your heart, why is it so difficult to talk about your services?   Here is a couple I see…   Imposter Syndrome  Fear of Judgement  Fear of People Not Buying  Perfectionism  Unsure of Offer & of Price   I am sure you could add to this list.    But I will tell you now, the first place I started was with the belief that I COULD sell my offers, I COULD talk confidently about my offers and people WILL buy!    If you are feeling any of the above or want to be more confident talking about your offer online, work through these journal prompts today and let me know what happens…   Where does the belief in myself sit at the moment when talking about my services online? Where would I like it to be? What does it look like daily if I trust and know that people want to hear about my services? How do I show up online when I believe that people are ready to buy? How does it feel in my body if I believed and trusted that people are ready to buy?   This is just the beginning of the process but it all starts with AWARENESS!   Within my 5 Month 1:1 Container, we cover both Money Making Activities, Business Growth Mindset, and Engaging and Selling to Your Ideal Clients, it's so incredible to see my clients showing up speaking about their services with ease, and converting and it can happen for you too!    CLICK BELOW to book your free discovery call.   Let's Connect: ✨ Book your free discovery call here: https://calendly.com/rebeccahaydonconfidencecoach/60min Free Visibility & Wealth Hypnosis: https://www.rebeccahaydon.com/freebie/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_rebeccahaydon_/ Follow me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/rebeccahaydonmindset/ Follow me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-haydon-executive-confidence-coach-ba2217183/

This week I am bringing back one of my FAVORITE episodes ever on the podcast. This is an episode that EVERY professional in the field should listen to, especially before summer. Whether you are a supervisor or an emerging professional, all I can say is that you will benefit from the wisdom that Angela Summers shares on this one. During this episode we talk about: How do you set high expectations for your staff while treating them as humans first? What do you say to young professionals who are trying to work their way up the career ladder and running against challenges? What do you say to managers who say the customer is always right? You guys, I ACTUALLY got chills when I re-listened to this story.

Casey and Logan don’t actually break down the Final Four and National Championship, but do manage to ramble for an hour. If you’re interested in an all-around dumb but fun conversation. If you’re looking for any analysis, don’t listen to this episode, and spend your time sweeping, mopping, or something else that feels productive but isn’t actually anything. Or, listen to a podcast that attempts to focus on the game, or my latest Sports Smorgasbord, where I ACTUALLY break down the Final Four, Masters, NBA doubleheader, and more!

Why do we insist on seeking validation from people unable to validate us? After a recent personal experience involving some decisions, where I thought I was making them from, and where I ACTUALLY was making them from… I wanted to explore this some more. I found a couple of articles that helped as well as some comments that were left on my social media that helped to inform me. Ultimately, even as a learned habit it is still a choice that we make for ourselves to hand over our power to someone else. Where do you find that you still need outside validation in your own life and how could that change? Resources Used in the Show: Why Seeking Validation Is Crippling You by D.

When everything on the outside feels OUT of control, I do my best to return to this: What can I control? What do I have power over? What can I ACTUALLY change? What habits, routines, or thoughts can I shift so that I don’t stay feeling stuck? So while financials are a big, top-of-mind topic these days, let’s talk about financial habits that successful women possess. Because even though things may feel shaky and unpredictable in the economic climate, you DO have control over how you show up in your life and in this world. You have power over your approach to money, how you handle it, and your belief systems around it.

Well hello there and welcome to Cannabis Business made Easy. In today's episode, I'm answering a member-submitted question from Sativa Sarah who says: “Hey Brandie, I’m a long-time admirer of your brand, and I’ve watched Sativa Science Club evolve over the years on your website, as a Founding member of Elevated Advocacy, and on IG. I’m writing because I’ve always worked with 1:1 clients, but I’m officially starting a business as a women’s health coach next year, and I’m dreading the website thing. Until now, I’ve always gotten work by word of mouth and social media. I have a website, but I never send anyone there because it’s super boring, and I don’t feel like it’s going to catch many leads. I don’t even know where to start to fix it up. I know you do all of your own design, and I love your website, so I thought I would ask. What should I *ACTUALLY* be focusing on to build a low maintenance website that generates leads?” If this sounds familiar stay tuned because I'm sharing about a few un-do-without-able website strategies for anyone hoping to seal the deal with their online following.

This conversation is a real slow burn, and we LOVED recording it. You're in for a treat. Here is the translation Kate mentions, a version of Donal Og that's startling and strange in the ways that only really great translations can be. (He said, knowing very little about translations, really). (Though I'll correct myself and say that it's probably true that really bad translations can be startling and strange too...) Donal Og It is late last night the dog was speaking of you; the snipe was speaking of you in her deep marsh. It is you are the lonely bird through the woods; and that you may be without a mate until you find me. You promised me, and you said a lie to me, that you would be before me where the sheep are flocked; I gave a whistle and three hundred cries to you, and I found nothing there but a bleating lamb. You promised me a thing that was hard for you, a ship of gold under a silver mast; twelve towns with a market in all of them, and a fine white court by the side of the sea. You promised me a thing that is not possible, that you would give me gloves of the skin of a fish; that you would give me shoes of the skin of a bird; and a suit of the dearest silk in Ireland. When I go by myself to the Well of Loneliness, I sit down and I go through my trouble; when I see the world and do not see my boy, he that has an amber shade in his hair. It was on that Sunday I gave my love to you; the Sunday that is last before Easter Sunday and myself on my knees reading the Passion; and my two eyes giving love to you for ever. My mother has said to me not to be talking with you today, or tomorrow, or on the Sunday; it was a bad time she took for telling me that; it was shutting the door after the house was robbed. My heart is as black as the blackness of the sloe, or as the black coal that is on the smith's forge; or as the sole of a shoe left in white halls; it was you put that darkness over my life. You have taken the east from me, you have taken the west from me; you have taken what is before me and what is behind me; you have taken the moon, you have taken the sun from me; and my fear is great that you have taken God from me! (Shades of St Patrick's prayer in that last verse...) So what do I ACTUALLY know about translation? Mostly what I remember from many long, wonderful (as in full of wonder), beery conversations with my pal, Ian Lavery. Poet, academic, punctuation pedant and a very, very funny man. Anyway, when he was doing his PhD on Northern Irish poetry I would regularly perform my friendly duty by insisting he come drinking with me when he should have been working. So it was Ian who witnessed me - two bottles of white wine to the wind and heading for a few pints - walking into the road and smashing the windscreen of an oncoming car with my head. All the classic accident shit went down - a local lad leaned over me shouting 'How many fingers can you see pal, how many FINGERS?' My shoe came off (just the one.) And I apparently garbled half remembered lines from Seamus Heaney's 'Station Island' all the way to the hospital. And yes, I do realize that makes me sound like a complete wanker. Anyway, so, when Kate mentioned Donal Og I thought of Ian because he knows his translations. And because he's from Carrickfergus, and first turned me on to Louis MacNeice, also from Carrickfergus. Who worked at the BBC in London for many years and was friends with (seriously) Andy Irvine (check out this interview with Andy if you don't believe me): https://podtail.com/en/podcast/rte-second-captains/second-captains-andy-irvine/ So thinking of friendship, and distance, and love, as Kate was singing Donal Og, and then and then...the song was over, and we talked some more about other things. And then Kate mentioned her children, and bringing them the see where she studied geology in Melbourne, and THAT'S when I sort of made my tangled, inarticulate attempt to say that...what...everything is everything. Music, songs, friendship, love, food, cars, biscuits, concertinas. All of it. Or, as the great Scottish songwriter Michael Marra might have said...The World is Phul o' A Number o' Things... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Jz6LJXUqhI Which isn't a million miles away from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIMNXogXnvE If you're of a melancholy turn of mind, you need songs like these. I wrote to Kate the day after we finished recording to say thanks, and what a lovely way to spend an evening. And it's true. Thanks Kate (and Ciaran O'Grady) for the chance to listen. ... The New Graces (Kate Burke, Melanie Horsnell and Robyn Martin) have recently tracked and mastered their debut album at Sydney's Rancom Street Studios, working with producer Garth Porter (Sherbet, Lee Kernaghan) and legendary engineer Ted Howard (Gurrumul, Paul Kelly & The Stormwater Boys).

In Yeshiva - a system of advanced learning in the orthodox Jewish world, there’s a saying: “Shiv'im Panim laTorah” - which means “there are 70 faces of Torah”, but implies that there are many equally valid ways of getting to a certain point. That idea resonates with IT practitioners, because there are many paths that led us into our career in tech. In this episode, Leon wraps up the conversation with guests Corey Adler, Rabbi Ben Greenberg, and returning guest Yechiel Kalmenson about how that made that literal pivot, from yeshiva into the world of IT, and what their experiences - both religious and technical taught them along the way. Listen or read the transcript below. Leon: 00:00 Hey everyone, it's Leon. Before we start this episode, I wanted to let you know about a book I wrote. It's called "The Four Questions Every Monitoring Engineer is Asked", and if you like this podcast, you're going to love this book. It combines 30 years of insight into the world of it with wisdom gleaned from Torah, Talmud, and Passover. You can read more about it including where you can get a digital or print copy over on https://adatosystems.com. Thanks! Roddie: 00:25 Welcome to our podcast where we talk about the interesting, frustrating, and inspiring experiences we have as people with strongly held religious views working in corporate IT. We're not here to preach or teach you our religion. We're here to explore ways we make our career as IT professionals mesh - or at least not conflict - with our religious life. This is Technically Religious. Leon: 00:44 This is a continuation of the discussion I started last week with Yechiel Kalmenson, Ben Greenberg and Corey Adler on how they pivoted from a life of Orthodox Jewish studies into a career in IT. Thank you for coming back to join our conversation. Leon: 00:44 All right, so looking at today, as you're working today in IT, you are all three established programmers with a career and everything. What, of the lessons that you got from yeshiva, continue to carry over. What other things, I mean we've talked about a bunch of stuff, but is there anything else that carries over into your day to day work that when you do it you say, "yeah, that's cause I went to yeshiva. That's, that's what I still get from it." Yechiel: 01:24 So essentially I think these days the world of tech is waking up to the realization that you can't separate the work you're doing from the moral applications of the things you're creating. Like for the longest time we would hear news about some big tech company doing something wrong and the engineers are like, "Well, I was just doing my job. You know, I was hired to do this work." And it's just not cutting it anymore. People are realizing that there are real world applications to the stuff you're doing. And these are conversations we have to have. And we have to think about. Leon: 02:03 You mean like the algorithms on a certain video website that lead criminals to their targets? Speaker 3: 02:11 Yeah. To quote one recent example. Yes. But you know, these days it seems like every week there are other stories coming up. By the time this podcast is going to air, I'm sure there's going to be five new stories and people are gonna say, "what website is he talking" about what story was that?" But that kind of thinking is actually wired in throughout the Talmud. You know, people have this misconception about the Talmud that it's high lofty thinking and philosophical discussions; where most of the Talmud is actually talking about oxen and fields and how to... I remember once getting into a whole... There's like a whole page discussion in the Talmud about what happens if you go into a room that was previously occupied by three people and you find a coin - who does that coin belong to? And come on, we're talking about a third of a penny over here. Does this really, really matter? And our teacher told us, "Yes! If you realize the value of a third of a cent that belongs to somebody else, obviously you'll know the value of $100 that belongs to someone else. You can't separate the two." There's no like, "okay, now I'm doing my job... And now I'm a religious person. Now I'm a rabbi." There is, I think there's a famous story about our Aristotle that they once caught him in some morally questionable act and they asked him, "How could that be?" He said, "Now I'm not Aristotle." But in Torah there's no such thing. You can't separate your religious life from your quote-unquote secular life. It is one thing. It's "Torah Echat" - we say "it's one Torah and that is your life." Corey: 03:49 For me, I get constant reminders as a team lead because of process - that the idea of the process being as important as the result. For example, as I had mentioned about the kosher food: it's not that the rabbi is the one that's blessing. It is all about the process. And even if you have one little thing that's not kosher, it invalidates basically all of it and makes everything not kosher. So the same thing really in tech: if you don't have the right ingredients, you don't have the right people and the right processes in place you're not going to be successful in whatever project you're trying to accomplish. Leon: 04:39 Right. It doesn't matter if individual lines of code execute correctly, the overall goal isn't going to be met. Corey: 04:46 Are you testing? Are you making sure that it actually is solving what you think it's solving? Are you collaborating with customers? Getting back to the agile talk from before. So all kinds of things in that process is important. Leon: 05:04 Ben, anything to add? Ben: 05:06 I would just add in addition to that, that, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks - who I think has inspired many of us, including me; he's the former chief rabbi of the United Kingdom - often describes a Jewish thought as something around being an aspect of religious humanism. Meaning that all people are invested with the divine image, that all people have intrinsic, unlimited value, a value that can't have any limit to them. There is no way to describe the value of an individual person. And I think that when you work in large corporations or large companies and you're working in tech, which is often data that's been in the aggregate; that we're working on, processes can feel anonymous, the values from yeshiva - that every single person is created and invested with that spark of godliness - I think it allows you to come to work with a sense of a real appreciation of your colleagues. With a sense of understanding that they are important and, not for only for the work they produce, but because they just are. Because they're human beings. And I think that some of that can be missing from tech sometimes. That sense that we all are valued as human beings. And bringing that into the discourse of the daily work life can be really powerful. Leon: 06:32 So in the same way that, the things that we learned in yeshiva sometimes we bring with us into the day and they're positives, are there any things that we carry with us from our yeshiva days or from our yeshiva learning that end up creating obstacles for us? That we find that we have to find a way around or work through or get over.? And how do you get past them? Yechiel: 06:55 So I guess just being "religious" or being visibly religious. In the world of tech there's this stereotype about tech that it's very young, very liberal. So just not seeing people like you being an invisible minority. I mean I'm obviously not going to deny the fact that as a white male, of course I enjoy plenty of privilege, but still, for myself, at least not seeing people like me, like really makes you doubt - especially in the beginning, when I was getting into it, and I'm thinking "CAN I make it in this world, is this as a viable option?" So that was kind of tough. And seeing a few people who are visibly religious actually made it a lot easier for me - conceptually, at least - which is actually the reason why, these days, I make it a point to be visible about being religious and visible about being in tech to help others coming after me. And then of course there's just the usual... Corey touched upon earlier. You know, being different in the workplace. Knowing that you can't just join a team lunch. You have to order a kosher meal. Knowing that I have to leave early on Friday in the winter for Shabbat. Though I did find that if you're upfront about it from the beginning, you're not trying to push things off for the last minute, hoping that they'll go away, (which of course they won't because these are things that are immutable and you're NOT going to be staying late on Friday, on Shabbat), if you're up front about things and open, proud of it, people will actually respect it and they'll work with you. When I joined pivotal, my team used to have their Friday retros on Friday afternoon, and they moved it to Friday morning because right in the beginning, I told them, "Oh, Friday afternoon, I'm not gonna be able to make it." So they worked things around and they made it work for me. Keeping kosher: Pivotal every Tuesday has a tech lunch, which obviously is not kosher, but they are order for me and a few other kosher keeping coworkers, they cater out of kosher meal. Just for us. So if you're upfront, when you're proud about it, when you show you're not embarrassed, people respect that and people will work with you. Leon: 09:11 How about you Ben? Ben: 09:12 Yeah, I would echo a lot of what Yechiel said. I mean there's a reason why we we're friends. I really respect a lot of what he says and agree with so much of it. And I would also just say that I've noticed... Yechiel: 09:21 I will say that it goes both ways. Everyone: 09:23 Ben: 09:27 I can feel the love. There's an emerging awareness in our tech community for what it means to have inclusivity around religious issues. And yet there is still some resistance to that idea that there should be. Just the very notion there should be inclusivity for religious diversity is still facing to some resistance in our community. And I do what I can to try and move the needle on that. But I'm only one person. And not only that, I'm also invested in, I'm an interested party. And what actually is really meaningful and touching is when people who are not personally invested, but who are allies who stand up for you and raise the issue first. It happened recently, somebody raised the issue of Shabbat for me, around a particular thing and I felt really cared for and it felt really included in that moment because I didn't have to be the one raising it for myself. And there's something powerful about that. I felt seen. And that was a really wonderful thing. I do remember my pre Israel days when I did need to worry about Shabbat and kosher in the day to day workplace and finding a minyan, and things like that. But we now have a synagogue in our office and our kitchen is kosher and there is a "Minyon" What'sApp group in the building to organize and get everyone into the afternoon prayer service on time. Leon: 11:00 For those listening, this is just one giant Humblebrag. Ben: 11:03 It is really, but you know, Leon, it's not very humble. I'm just bragging. It's a straight up brag. It's one of the perks of making this move when you're on the observant spectrum. The Jewish community... you have to advocate for the needs of your non-observant colleagues. "They TOO should be able to eat!" Leon: 11:25 They have a right t treif!, Ben: 11:29 They have a right to their non kosher food. Maybe a non kosher section in the kitchen for them. Make sure there's non kosher microwave there so they can eat as well. It's a total flip of the situation. Corey: 11:43 It feels like a Jackie Mason joke. Yechiel: 11:47 And actually I would like to second what Ben spoke about, having allies. I feel like standing up for yourself could get exhausting. At our first job - mine and Ben's - I remember like every Friday was a struggle, leaving early. And I actually remember one specific week where Ben told me that he had had a run in with our manager earlier that day and he said that he just can't handle the Friday afternoon conversation if I could take it for him. And I did take the bullet that week. And I said, "Okay, it's time for us to leave." And my manager made his usual face, and we both got up and left. But now at Pivotal, I actually have a team member who's an Israeli, who's not religious, and she is actually very good about it. She will always raise Shabbat or kashrut, or other religious issues on my behalf, even though she doesn't keep kosher. She doesn't keep Shabbat. But she always raises it on, on my behalf and it goes a very long way towards making me feel like a welcome part of the team. Leon: 12:46 Corey. Corey: 12:47 What Yechiel touched upon before - the invisible minority comment - that just really hits home for me. Leon: 12:55 I do need to point out that Corey and I both work from home the majority of the time. So when we say that we are an invisible minority, we are invisible in many ways. But as much as, again, that's sort of a humble brag: "I get to work from home," it's much harder to recognize when there's a religious issue, when you don't even see us in the office on a daily basis to know that this is a pressure or a thing or whatever it is. Keep going. Sorry. Corey: 13:23 Oh, no problem. But even when I was working in an office on a daily basis, there was still the idea that I need to make sure that I'm seen and that I'm out there. I remember one instance in particular and I've subsequently utilized this line that originally I heard from Mel Brooks, when Mel Brooks was starting rehearsals for The Producers musical. And so there was once where, my first job, where a new vice president of software development was introduced to us and we had to go all around the room and introduce who we were, what our job titles were. And so when he came to me, I said, "Hi, my name is Corey Adler. I'm the software engineer and Jew Extra-ordinaire!" And got a good laugh from the people and I've utilized that since then. You know, to be out there and to show that I'm here and that I'm Jewish and that I'm religious and I do all of these things. And for me, I've always found it important that, you need to draw the line and stand your ground. If you end up wavering, then nobody's going to take you seriously as to what you say your beliefs are. If I say, "No, I'm, I'm really leaving on this Friday, and I'm really not going to be there for sprint planning" and all of this, people tend to respect you a lot more than you say, "Well maybe just this once..." You know, stuff like that. Leon: 15:01 And I will say also that the first episode of Technically Religious was me and Josh and we were talking about the idea of religious synergy. Again, back to the comments around the table with being seen and not having to advocate for yourself, other people advocating for you. I know that as we record this, Ramadan has just ended. And one of the things I didn't realize until Ramadan had begun was that one of my coworkers is Muslim and no one had actually even wished her Eid Mubarack, like nobody had wished her anything because it just hadn't been noticed. And so I made a point of, every day asking her how things were going and wishing her, like I said, Eid Mubarack when things were over. And I think it makes a difference when we see each other and we say things like, "Hey, it's four o'clock, but I know that it's been a long day for you. Do you want to go home now so you're ready for the break fast?" So she doesn't have to be the one to say that. And the same thing, Ben, your comment about someone else commenting on, "Oh, it's Shabbat." So you don't have to be the one, and things like that. So that idea of synergy, of being inclusive, not just with your own particular complexities but also with other people's just makes everything that much better. Corey? Corey: 16:22 it's funny you bring that up because it reminds me of a coworker I had at my last job, named Kamran, who I was originally Pakistani. He got his American citizenship and we were working together. And I remember we would end up advocating actually for each other. I remember when the company switched buildings, that one of the things that we both asked for was a place where we could just go into a small room and have a prayer space, whether that would be okay. And we got, "Oh, sure, absolutely." And I still remember a couple of times where - because, one of the Muslim prayers and one of the Jewish prayers ended up being roughly around the same time - where I would go to the room to go pray afternoon service. And I find the door locked. I was like, "Oh, okay. Well Kamran's in there right now." We always said to each other that if one more religious person comes in, we're going to have to have a signup sheet for prayer services. Leon: 17:30 Right. It'salmost like the nursing room, "Please wait, religious expression in progress." Or something like that. I like it. Okay. Any closing thoughts, anything that anybody wants to finish up with? This has been an amazing conversation. Yechiel: 17:47 So Leon, you mentioned, that you were working with some Kollel people, which are married yeshiva students, and getting them into the workforce. I Actually feel that IT is a great option for people who are making a career switch, be it from yeshiva or from any... From theater or any background really. I feel like tech is actually a great option in that there is a relatively low barrier to entry. Like Ben said, when you're making career switch, when you're ready, have a family and you're ready, have responsibilities, you can't afford four years to go to get a degree in tech. Within a few months, you can gain enough skills to get an entry level position and a year later go beyond that and even the entry level positions pay a lot better than other positions in other fields. Leon: 18:36 A Ph.d in political science for example, Yechiel: 18:39 Or history, you know, Corey: 18:42 Love you, Will! Speaker 3: 18:42 I'm actually a fairly big advocate in my community for this. I have people reaching out to me all the time to figure out if a transition to tech is right for them. And I enjoy helping people. Like I said before, I enjoy helping. I enjoy teaching. If there's anyone who's listening who is considering a career switch, my contact info will be in the show notes and please feel free to reach out. I would love to help you figure out for yourself if the... Obviously it's not the right move for everyone. I would love to help you figure out if this is right for you and what would be the best way to go about it, etc. Ben: 19:15 Ditto. Exactly what Yechiel said. He said it beautifully and eloquently. Corey: 19:21 Amen, my brother. Leon: 19:23 And on that, I thank all three of you for joining me for this episode. This has been fantastic and I look forward to having you back. Ben: 19:30 Thanks for having us. Thanks for having me. Corey: 19:32 This was awesome, man. Josh: 19:34 Thanks for making time for us this week.

Yechiel: 19:48 Well, I think you should be careful before inviting me back. There's a concept in Talmud called hazakah, where - when you do something three times - it's established and then you won't be able to get rid of me. Ben learned that lesson the hard way.

He's a guy who's a massive leader, is, owns a ton of interest in other private companies. But the thing I'm most excited about as far as bringing bedrooms back on my podcast is this is a man who actually walks the talk. This is a guy who has been through a lot of the entrepreneurial battle. Uh, you know, we were talking just briefly about this whole idea of having a Gary Vaynerchuk and our, our big Guinness World Book of Records thing last year. You know, Gary talks all about hustling and stuff, which, yes, there's an element of that. Speaker 2:     01:52           The part I like most about this book and most about you bedrooms is there's hustle, but you have this amazing ability to keep a balance with your family and we're talking about your son Andrew and your daughter chloe and Diana and, and just the, your ability as an entrepreneurial leader to run a company that is Ben Again, Inc. Five hundred last two years, a fastest growing franchises by ink as well. I mean, just your accolades go on For miles and miles, but I think the part that's the most exciting thing for me is you're the real deal and that's not always the easiest thing to find in business when you take away all the instagram and the facebook and everything else. When it comes down to it, you're real. And I appreciate your friendship. And I remember, I think it was, um, interest. We were at a, you're a fitness business summit in la jolla and we're out in the mastermind. Yep. So we were there again, I was there learning how to run a mastermind from big grows and as bedrest was we went across the street and we were sitting there at the steakhouse after all was said and done and you started talking about this book is man Speaker 3:     03:00           up idea and what you're going to go through and if you don't mind, if you could just kind of tell people, first of all, for those of you guys are listening, you have to understand this book is, is really the history and the life lessons of having a massive business literally almost stolen away from him at three year journey of regaining it back and I wanted to bring them on the podcast right now because everything he talks about applies to you and your business from the leadership standpoint to your own individual self. And so metrics, if you don't mind just kind of dive in here. I again, I love the book. One thing that I want to talk to you about. First of all, I've been talking to her. Let me give you a breath of fresh air so you can actually say something before I have you got so many questions. Speaker 3:     03:39           I'm gonna ask you. Well, let me just tell you this and, and with all the compliments that you gave and I appreciate that and we're dear friends. There was a time in 2011, 12 and part of 2013 that I felt like such a hypocrite and an imposter in my position as founder and ceo fit body bootcamp because while fit body boot camp, we started fit body bootcamp in 2010. We franchIsed in 2012 and in a very short period we've grown to now almost 700 locations and our goal is to get to 2,500 locations and we're on pace for that. In 2012, 2013 men, we were losing more locations than we were gaining. I had gained almost 40 pounds of fat I was taking every evening. I was taking nyquil and a vicodin to go to sleep and when I would wake up in the morning in order to get out of my mental fog from the nyquil than vicodin, I would take adderall and some kind of pre workout. Speaker 3:     04:37           just just function. I had massive resentment towards my towards my employees. I had this, this functional adversarial relationship with my business partner in fit body bootcamp at the time and I hated my life and I felt like I was a true imposter and I realized in that time, and this was when I had about six or seven employees. I realized in that time that dude, you're a bad leader. I was just an ineffective leader. And for years I was a marketer. Now as a marketer, you and I know dave, that, hey, you know what? If you've got a good product or service and you can create a funnel and run ads to it and make that funnel produce money, then you're doing good. And as things go on, you might then grow your business where you get to second or third employee to deliver more support or service or help out with a sales process. Speaker 3:     05:29           But what happens when you actually look at your business and you go, gosh, I've got the potential to build a 20, 3,100, $200, million dollar company and then you go, I'm going to do this. So I knew that fit body bootcamp can become 100 million dollar company. What I didn't realize was I was literally putting a supercharger on a 79 toyota pickup, which was a car that I actually owned and I expected the supercharger to perform to make this car perform when really the car did not have the capabilities to the leader myself. So I had a business that had potential of 100 million a year, but the leader was so weak, so Ineffective that I literally almost went out of business and almost destroyed my marriage and my family life. And so, um, it was a product of that that I decided that I need to figure out how to become an effective leader. Speaker 3:     06:24           And over the next three to five years, people always asking me, you know, so what's the secret to, to leadership? I hear your book has six pillars of leadership. If you can just tell me that I can become a better leader. It's not a light switch. I always tell people it's a dimmer switch that goes up. Sometimes it goes back down and over a three to five year period I became an effective leader. Now I wrote the book so that I can help people ascend to their leadership role faster, more efficiently. Um, but really that's where it started. Man. I was a hypocrite and an imposter. And today I'm a better version of the leader that I'm going to become. It's still a work in progress, but my company's numbers show for it. Speaker 2:     07:05           I love it. So you actually just have you introduce yourself. You did so much better than I did. I know what I want to ask though. I really do want to address what you just talked about and that is this whole idea as far as being a hypocrite or the imposter because one of the things we hear a lot in a lot of entrepreneurs, I mean I've done it myself where it's like, you know, I'm going to fake it till I make it and if you don't mind, if you kind of expound on this whole idea is yeah, there's an element of faking it till you make it, but also how do you get out of that, that feeling of being the imposter or the hypocrite and actually starting to run a real business versus just a hobby. Speaker 3:     07:38           Yeah. And you know what? There is some valid need to fake it till you make it. And what I mean by that in one of my favorite movies, catch me if you can, which was the story of tom hanks was in it and also the dicaprio writing. This guy was a con artist and tom hanks was the fbi agent and in real life the con artist, just like in the movie, taught at a university level class. Like for an entire semester, and he, he, he taught, he gave quizzes, he gave tests and you get grades and once they caught this guy in real life, they said, listen, you're a con artist. We know how you, how you were able to con people out of money and get on airplanes by conning people, but how did you Speaker 3:     08:23           con your way into being a professor for an entire semester? he goes, all I had to do was be one chapter ahead of all the other students in the class and he was just teaching a chapter ahead and he was reading the same book that they were, but he was a chapter ahead and so to me, faking it till you fake it till you make it is that you're doing it, but you're just barely ahead of the people that you're either teaching or selling to or servicing. There has to be a. The next level comes Speaker 3:     08:53           when you have to be truly demonstrate proof, demonstrate proof. For example, we'll use russel as an example, like one of his first products, the old potato gun that he created, and then he created an ebook that teaches you how to make your own potato gun. Well, that's great. He made the potato gun. He had fun with that. He goes, hey, people are actually searching out how to make potato guns. I might as well make an ebook out of it and sell it and make some money. I'd say that was fake it. You make it like that was a. We all bump into that accidental entrepreneurial spirit and oh my gosh, people are actually paying me for this, but then as time goes on and he writes his books and he goes into many different ventures with click funnels, like now this is a leadership position that he's in. Speaker 3:     09:32           He's leading a company. He's having to look forward. He's looking to communicate. He's. He needs clarity of vision so the entire team can be on it. He must be decisive because between competition and between marketing and between the economy and the opportunities available, all those things can shift and a strong leader must be decisive and pivot because indecision costs entrepreneurs more time, money and market share than making the wrong decision, and so yes, we all start off as fake it till you make it, but at some point we have to grow into our entrepreneurial skin and be willing to take bigger risks, have those tough conversations and communications, have even greater clarity of vision, be super decisive and go from having a group of employees to a high performance team who is on board with the vision of what clickfunnels, where click funnels is headed and knows that we have to execute this plan because it's us against them. A team team member has an us against them mentality where employees just simply want to come in, clock in a little late, clock out, a little early, do the bare minimum, and off they go. Right? I mean, you're not going to build an empire with a. With a group of employees. You're going to build an empire with a, an effective team around you. Speaker 2:     10:46           I love that. You know, when the, I, as I was going through your book, man up the, we talked about these six pillars of entrepreneurial leadership and you kind of broke it down into three different sections and leading yourself. That was such a cool section as far as. So often we talked about leading as a team leader and you're kind of alluding to the fact as far as what russell is doing a leading yourself. For me, it was such a foundational thing. I think a lot of people, they kind of skip that. Oh yeah. I'll do that later if you don't mind. I'd like to kind of talk a little bit about this whole concept as far as leading yourself, Speaker 3:     11:17           you know, and in the six pillars of course, and the six pillars or this self discipline, it's clarity of vision, meaning what do you want your company to go and by when and what's the path. So vision is all about what do you want and when do you want to buy? Um, and of course then there's decisiveness. There's effective communication, there's emotional resilience because lord knows as entrepreneurs, we go through some emotionally challenging stuff that other people simply wouldn't understand. The risk and the exposure that We put ourselves against, and of course the sixth and final pillar is having a high performance team to help you execute your vision, but you know that self discipline piece, the leading yourself is so important. Most leaders, bosses, founders, ceos, whatever you want to call them, believe in this top down leadership meaning I will say, and you guys will do, and that's that, and that is called I call that half to leadership. Speaker 3:     12:10           Your employees or team, they feel like they have to do it. Otherwise they're going to get reprimAnded or yelled at, possIbly fired the leader who's more of a servant leader, who practices what he preaches or what she preaches and his self discipline, which is why self discipline is pillar number one. Leading yourself leads by example says, you know what? Here's what we have to do and here's what I want you to do, and the team wants to do that because they see that the leader is authentic. So self discipline comes from do the work first. If you expect them to show up on time, you show up on time. First you expect them to be ready during meetings, be ready first. If you expect them to be clear in communication, you better communicate more clearly. If you expect them to do the marketing effectively, you better be clear on how you want them to market and how much of a cost of lead should be in and what are we looking for by will conversions and lifetime value of a client. Speaker 3:     13:02           BecAuse the moment you're unclear in any of that, your team goes imposter, hypocrite, and all of a sudden you're half to leadershIp instead of the one to the one true leader. If your team goes, you know what, I want to do this for him or her because I believe in his or her vision and I want to do it for them. That's so much better. My team hates letting me down. They'll take getting written up by our two vps over letting me down like, okay, great. WrIte me up. Just make sure he doesn't find out. I'll never do this. Over again, because I've been so lucky, so fortunate to create an environment where they don't want to let me down and I remember when I worked at disneyland man, I worked at disneyland, dave for six years and there was a. I had, I had two supervisors in the carnation cafe restaurant that I worked in. Speaker 3:     13:49           One's name was cathy, one's name was doug. Kathy. Kathy did not practice the leading herself. she always came into work. This sheldon as she Was our boss, I was a fry cook at carnation cafe and twice a day. Carnation cafe was literally the busiest restaurant on the planet because when I worked there it was on main street and the main street electrical parade would go twice a day and that restaurant, we had a line around the building and we were just just bursting at the seams of people wanting to sit there and watch the prayed while they ate and so kathy would come and you need to do this and the food's not at a minimum of 140 degree and you guys are are, you know, there's a stain on your, on your chef whites. And she would always point point, point, but we would notice that she would come into work a little late. Speaker 3:     14:34           She was always just shoveled, always unprepared. If we had a meeting with her before our shifts started, half the time the meetings will get canceled and so she was poorly self disciplined and so we had no respect for her. Then there was doug when doug was our shift lead and he was this six foot five heavy said bellowing man. And he would walk in here, this cajun accent. He would walk into the restaurant, carnation cafe. Well, what can I help you with boys? And we say, well doug, we need more help on the window. We're pumping out food but we can't get it up on the window fast enough. No worries boys. And he fLipped his tie over his shoulder and he put on the chef gloves and off he went to helping us. And when doug work for us, we didn't care about taking our break. Speaker 3:     15:15           We all we wanted to do was make sure we get the food out on time so the service can deliver it to the table. And give the guest experience that disney is known for. When kathy was supervising us. Man, it didn't matter if the electric prayed was happening. Oh, break time. I got to go because you Just didn't want to perform for kathy. The difference between doug and cathy was doug, walk the walk and talk the talk. Like he was in there early. He helped us prep when it was time for us to close. He wasn't just up there doing paperwork. He was down there cleaning with us. He didn't have to be, but we felt so indebted to him and never wanted to let him down. and because of that self discipline that he had, because he worked up from the ranks, we never wanted to let him down where cathy was the opposite. Speaker 3:     16:00           So self discipline is so important. So we're an entrepreneur is concerned. You can be looked at by your team is an imposter as a, as a hypocrite, just like I was by being unprepared, but expecting them to be prepared by being unclear, but expecting them to be clear. And So self really starts with what time do you wake up in the morning? You beat them up early enough to get the work done. Like every monday morning for the last five years, I send out a monday morning email to my team and it's only focuses on clarity of vision. Here's where we're headed guys. And then personal development tips and professional development tips. Because I know like me, they're human. They just came off a weekend. Maybe some people overrate, maybe they overdrInk. Maybe there was a fight in their relationship, maybe something a car accident had happened, maybe a family member got sick. Speaker 3:     16:48           Whatever happened, guys, here's how you deal with adversity. You cope with what you have to deal with and you control what you can control and here's how you can use that and work to service our franchisees. But every monday morning I'm disciplined enough to wake up before them at 5:00 AM and send out my monday morning email. The day that I missed. That makes me a hypocrite. So we have to start with yourself first and then go into telling people what to do. Otherwise, we're seen as a, as an imposter by, by not only our team, but even our customers. Speaker 2:     17:17           I love that. I know a russell. I joke around about it. Uh, I've never woken up as early as I am right now, so I'm trying to get this whole adonis looked at you. You were kind of like chiseled out of stone. So I'm trying to get to that same type of a luckier. So I've got hired a trainer and I met in the morning. I'm getting up and they're at the gym at 5:00 and it was kind of funny because russell always sit there talking about it and this whole idea of it's been interesting in the office now how many other people, because they're seeing our instagrams and everything else where we joke around about it because these were actually working at his gym. So since it's his gym, he comes in at six and I got to be there at five. But uh, it's been fun to see in the, in our office. How other, how many other people are now talking? Oh yeah, I got up to a 5:00. I'm working out, I'm doing this and and again it's, we never meant to come across as far as you know, you need to do this, but as you talk, as far as my leadership, even in your own personal life and personal life, leadership, it, it just carries over into your professional life so much. And so I appreciate that whole concept of, of leading yourself first. Speaker 3:     18:20           Yeah, that's, that's a must and I think that's probably the most overlooked pillar in, in leadership because everyone says, you know what, alright, I'm gonna start communicating more effectively. I'm no longer gonna, hold things in. I'm not going to be approval seeking. I'm going to be more decisive, clear on my vision, and so they start saying do, do, do, but remember that the people are by what they're seeing, so they can't hear what you're saying because they're deaf. Invite what they're seeing. What they're seeing is un un sprint. Yeah. So we have to get discipline first, lead from the front before we can actually lead the team. Speaker 2:     18:51           I love that. You know what? I was going through your titles of your books and the chapters there, and there's two that just jumped out at me. One is the five percent rule, so I want to talk about the five percent rule and the other one is you might have crowds. So those are the cliff hangers. Those are the hooks. So let's first of all talk about this on five percent rule and then we'll talk about you might have crabs. Speaker 3:     19:14           Absolutely. and, and, and, and, and I go into great detail about this in the book, uh, but, but I want to give, give your viewers here, your listeners a really cool kind of visual. So imagine this. Imagine this. I had my first employee, her name was amanda, amanda. She was my assistant and I worked out of my guest house. This was over a decade ago. this is how the five percent rule came to be. And of course since I worked out of my guest house, um, I was close to the, to the home and my wife one day comes up to the guest house and says, dude, the sprinkler has sprung a leak. And as you're shooting up a fountain, like you've got to fix this thing now, keep in mind, I was in a place in my life where I could afford to call a plumber and having fixed the sprinkler pipe, but I'm a pretty handy guy. Speaker 3:     19:59           And so dave, I just rolled up my sleeves and said, you know, honey, I'm going to go fix that. So I went to the garage, got some, the red hot, the red hot glue, um, my, my, my, my pipe cutters, some sandpaper and the pipe. And I went outside and start digging to find this sprinkler pipe that sprung a leak. Well, as it turns out, the day before I sent out an email to my small list of gym owners and I said, hey guys, I offer a year of coaching phone coaching for $5,000. Like at the time it was a smoking deal. Today we charge $50,000 for our coaching, but as $5,000 per year of phone coaching. And if you want me to help you grow your business, like I grew my five personal training gyms, then let's get on the phone. You know, let me ask you some questions. Speaker 3:     20:42           If you're a good fit then I'd be more than happy to help you. So that was the email and the whole idea was they would call amanda. She would, if I was free, she'd put them on the phone with me if I wasn't freezing scheduling with a call. And so I'm, I'm downstairs, I'm elbow deep in mud and amanda comes running downstairs and she goes, dude, I've got a phone call for you. This person's totally qualified. There's no point in putting him in your calendar because he says he wants to sign up right now. I'm like, great, let's do this amanda. But I've got mud all over me. So you've heard me close many of a many of our coaching calls before. So we just take them through the page, get his credit card information and set up the first call for tomorrow. Are you sure? Speaker 3:     21:23           Yes, I'm sure. Go do it. And there I was again, being poorly disciplined and delegating instead of doing what I should have been doing and it's in my five percent. Well amanda went up there. God blessed her. Did the best she could and actually talk the guy out of the sale and back then man, $5,000 was was I was like $500,000 to me. That was a lot of money to me. Like I knew we needed that money. We had just moved into this house and while we've got a guest house for the first time, but every penny counts. And I'll be very honest with you, dude, this was when you could still buy a home on stated income. Autonomy crashed. So it was probably more like 12 years ago and so pretty much lied to the mortgage company. I make $30,000 a month. Dude, I hadn't made more than $15,000 a month and that's in revenue. Speaker 3:     22:11           My profits were even less like a true entrepreneur. Let's move in there and we'll figure it out. So we moved in there on stated income. I needed that five grand and of course she lost a sale and that was that. And in that moment I realized I could have paid a plumber $25 to fix that pipe and I could've worked on with my five percent the critical few things that move the needle. And for me, my five percent is to delegate, motivate, and sell. And so what I did is I pass the baton over to her. Instead of doing what was in my wheelhouse, my zone of genius, which was to sell. I should have stayed in my five percent today. I want to do anything outside of my five percent, you know, at the house, a light bulb's burnt out. My wife knows to go right to marlin or house manager and she knows how to change a light bulb because if you tell me I'm just going to stare at it. Speaker 3:     22:53           I don't know how to do it, but I'm not gonna do it because that time could be better spent with family or by creating more financial wealth for us. And so, you know, pipes broken, everyone knows what to do. My five year, I haven't been to a grocery store for over six years. I don't pick up my dry cleaning, my car is don't get washed anymore by me. They get washed by people who just show up to the headquarters here and wash the cars, but all those things keep me focused, so I work eight hours a day in my zone of genius, my five percent, which is to delegate, motivate himself, and the competing ceo of a franchise says, you know what? I'm not afraid of hard work. I'm going to work eight hours a day and do everything. He's writing payroll checks, reading p and l reports, and he's changing out light bulbs. Speaker 3:     23:31           Who's going to get ahead over the next 12 months? Obviously meat, but that was the most expensive lesson that I learned is that as entrepreneurs, as leaders, you have to work in your zone of genius on the five percent of the things that you need to do that move the needle. The other 95 percent you outsource a competent team members. I love it. I know we've talked a lot about this. You and craig and I about this whole idea as far as a not to do list. If you don't mind, kind of expand on this because people, I mean they go sheets and sheets deep onto do lists, help people understand what is this not to do list. you mentioned a couple of things there, but what are the types of things do you do and then with that, if a person doesn't have money to hire all that, who's the first hire? Speaker 3:     24:09           They should get a very good question. So the nod to do list is I look at it as non negotiables and these are things like for me, I won't. I won't go to the dry cleaning. I won't go and pick up lunch for myself. I have that brought in. I won't. In fact next time you guys were out here in southern California because the 24 hour fitness is three miles away from my house. I bought a warehouse and I built my own private gym and mile away so that I don't even have to go competing. I don't even want to wait in line for a squat rack or a bench press. I built my own 3000 square foot private gym and I justified it by saying it's a mortgage on that building is $7,500. I've got a $7,500 gym membership as far as I'm concerned, but it's clean, it's clean. Speaker 3:     24:50           Every equipment is available when I'm there, the equipment instead of a broken and it's a bonus to my team members because they get the work out there in the mornings. We're after at the end of the day, so I won't do anything that creates time theft. That takes away time from me, my health, my finances or my family. Not necessarily in that order. So if it's grocery shopping, washing my car, going to the dry cleaners, driving too far. I believe every entrepreneur should have a two mile bubble. Your office, your home. In my case, starbucks sushi and my gym or all within those five things are within a two mile bubble and I think those two miles, it's unpredictable. I don't know what the freeway is going to be like. All of a sudden what I thought was gonna be a short drive, added 20 more minutes to my time. Speaker 3:     25:33           I don't want that. So part of having this not to do list is going, what areas of my life are sucking away time, are creating time theft away from my time with my family, my ability to create wealth and significance and of course to work on my health. To me those are the big three areas and whatever those are, you have to ruthlessly chop those things out and they are non negotiable. It can't be like on weekends I'll wash the car because on weekends are my time with the kids or on weekends I'm flying out to speak at events and so you have to create your nonnegotiable list and then of course stick to it because so often people do want to start shoving other stuff into your list and you have to be the anger queen of saying no. Right? And so to me that, that's, that's a massive lesson that I learned. Speaker 3:     26:21           I learned that it's okay to be a control freak. People out know was like a control freak and I said, oh gosh, that's a bad thing. It's got such a negative connotation. I want to be a control freak. Like dave, you can set your clock to me. You know I'm going to wake up between between five and 5:30 every single day. I'm not going to hit snooze, I'm going to have water and then coffee and then my protein shake. I'm going to go through my gratitude list as I'm playing with cookie. Might 95 pound massive, and then I'm gonna sit on my couch by around 6:30 7:00, work for two and a half hours on my magic time. The things that craig valentine taught me, you know the, the, the list that I do the night before that are going to move the needle, right? Speaker 3:     26:56           my five percent and then by 9:00 AM I'm in my gym working out by 11:00. I'm here meeting with my two vps and then I do this kind of stuff, which is fun. This is like in my zone of genius. I can't have anyone of my team members sit here and deliver this message, but what I can have them do like a non negotiable for me just because I know how to use click funnels. It's so easy. You guys have made it easy to use, but my team uses that to build our book funnel to build every single funnels that we have. Just because I can doesn't mean I do it. So that's a non negotiable as well. And to me that's been a huge thing. Speaking of which, let me tell you about the crab story. You know, I was asking people, hey, do you have crabs? Speaker 3:     27:31           And they go, why did I go? No, not, not in the way the, the year was 2005. Dave. And gosh, if it wasn't for my wife's grandparents, I would have never experienced this cruise. We went on, um, on holland America cruise lines, which is a really high end cruise line. We went on an alaskan cruise. Thankfully they paid for the entire family. And thank god I was married to my wife by then because I got to go on a seven day cruise to Alaska and man, I had barely been out of California at that time, let alone like, wow, we're going to Alaska, we get to see glacier, we get to go hiking. Are you kidding me? this foreigner doesn't do that. Right? And so one of the ports that we stopped at was ketchikan Alaska and at this point, you know, I've already started building my business. Speaker 3:     28:19           I'm trying to figure out how to be an entrepreneur. Um, sometimes I would tell my friends or family members like this is my goal, and created a software product called high tech trainer and it's going to be on a palmpilot and gyms are going to buy it from you. They're going to have these palmpilots and handed out the clients. And now if you can't afford a personal trainer, the workouts are going to be on the palmpilot. And I would have some friends and family that were just, what are you sure? Is that going to work? This going to be expensive. I would even know about software. And they will start and then of course I would just go fists up and want to duke it out with them. And um, so there we are in ketchikan, Alaska and we're walking across the this rocky area that's parallel to the water and we're seeing all these crab fishermen casting out their nets and then waiting a little while and then pulling in their nets. Speaker 3:     29:05           One gentleman had a five gallon bucket next to him was about this much water in it. And then in the bucket at the bottom of the bucket was maybe five or six crabs. And I was fascinated. I've never seen anything like this. So diane and I stopped and were watching him cast his net and pull crabs in or pull nothing in. And as we're watching him, I noticed that there's one ambitious crab crawling on all the other crabs and this little guy is starting to reach for the rim of the bucket to pull himself up. Now in the, in my head, one part of me is written for him like, hey, you can do this little guy. Get out there and go for freedom before this guy. On the other side, I want it to be a good samaritan, so I said, sir, you're about to lose a crab. Speaker 3:     29:45           He's, he's trying to make an escape. I think you should put that lid on it. [inaudible]. There was a lid sitting on the ground and he goes, watch what happens next. So I'm watching them. This little crabs hoisting himself, starting to hoist himself up to the top of the bucket. All the other crabs at the bottom. Reach up, grab it by its hind legs and pull it right down. Dave, and I'm hitting my wife. I'm hitting you. See what's happening here because the guy goes, these crabs are self policing. I was like, oh my god. And I realized in that moment I've got crabs in my life. It's not that my dream and my vision and my hope for, for the software that is going to change. The fitness industry is unrealistic. It's the people around me are crabs and they are unrealistic and they're transferring their lack of ability and desire and willingness to take risks on me. Speaker 3:     30:32           And so I literally got back from ketchikan, Alaska and I started just cutting away friends from high school friends who I new from, other places who were negative, toxic. Anyone who looked forward to the weekend and didn't look forward to mondays. That was one of my criteria. You don't look forward to on monday. We can't be friends now. I didn't of course call them up and say, hey, we can't be friends anymore. Your crab in my life where I slowly. Because people always asking me, no, wait a minute. You just cut them all out. I said, you know, you slowly phase yourself out. You, you replied to the text messages last you answer the phone calls less. And what I found was I created room for a better group. Have people around me who weren't crabs. So here I was trying to be an eagle, but I was hanging out with ducks and wondering why they're quacking, what I'm trying to soar. Speaker 3:     31:17           while the truth is, once I cut out the crabs out of my life, it made room for egos like yourself and russell and craig ballentyne and frank kern and randy garn. And all these good people to come into my life and allow me to stand on their shoulders and allow me to take a peek into your business and see how I can scale my business or tell me. Yeah, you can do at vedros. in fact, I think you ought to set a higher goal. That goal isn't big enough. Like that's what I want to hear from my peers. Not. Are you sure you can do it? What if you lose money? and what if you. You ended up homeless. Speaker 2:     31:46           Oh totally agree with you on that one down I think is probably the biggest problem. A lot of people when they start getting down this entrepreneurial road they face because a lot of the friends aren't entrepreneurs and they struggle with that and it's. I Actually had this conversation with my son chandler, who's a. I was in college actually, randy gardens working for skipio skipio to go do his own thing and all of his friends were like, you've got this great job and you why you doing that? And he's like, it's not what I want to do. And, and it was really cool because randy's partner nate was chandler, just go do what you want and I appreciate it again, date and randy's friendship, but just recognizing that sometimes you do have to kind of distance yourself from those people who are pulling you down and sometimes they don't mean to. It's their own lack of security themselves and they're like, I can't do that. So I doubt you could either. And so I, I appreciate that for sure. you know, and that's exactly the, they don't have their intentions Speaker 3:     32:40           are well placed. I don't have any bad intentions. I just realized that they, they mean well for you, but they're passing along their insecurities, their transferring those feelings on you at that because they're friends. You do put more weight on what they said because you know they have the best interest for me. But in reality it begins to play this negative loop in your head while you're trying to do something positive. And those two things never work out. Well, Speaker 2:     33:01           I totally agree. Well, last question here I really want to dive in on, and this is so again, if you don't mind, tell people again what the six pillars are. I also want to let them know where they can get the book, but so tell that first will be a little commercial break here, but they don't want to talk about the last one and we'll come back to that. Speaker 3:     33:17           So good. So the six pillars of entrepreneurial leadership, a real simple, it starts with self discipline is pillar number one. Clarity of vision and clarity of path is number two, clear communication skills as number three, decisiveness, being able to make a decision and make it fast and course correct if it's the wrong decision is number four. Number five is emotional resilience. So many of us tend to react instead of respond, and oftentimes when you react, you leave a wake of destruction behind you instead of responding with clarity to a problem or challenge that entrepreneurs will have. And of course, finally doing away with the idea of having employees and only building a high performance team who can help you get to your outcome and your life and your business. And so in fact, the book now, it doesn't come out until September 18th. However, it's. It's on amazon.com right now. Speaker 3:     34:05           You can get it from amazon. You can preorder it. And what I'm doing for actually you're the first person I'm doing this for a click funnels. The first person people I'm doing this for is when they order this book right now from amazon.com. just forward your receipt to orders at [inaudible] dot com. Use forward your receipt to orders that manup.com. And two months ago I created, I charged $2,000 a head, got 20 people into our learning center here and I did a one day entrepreneurial leadership workshop. And so I'm making a $2,500 course out of that. But if you send your receipt to orders@manup.com, you'll get that course absolutely free. We'll just email you the login and the access to it as a giant bonus gift for getting onboard with the amount of movement. Speaker 2:     34:50           Thank you. I really appreciate that. I. I need you to clarify one thing and that is I had a couple of people were asking say, well, does this work for women too? Speaker 3:     34:59           Yes. Yes. That's a really good questIon. In fact, manning up doesn't work for women too. It's just mad up as a phrase that we've heard before. Hey man, up and go ask for that. Raise. Hey man. Up and go after the girl of your dreams are. And so the way I look at it is when you look at the word human human up, rIght? And I started to think about this again. I really do explain in the book and I go into great detail with anecdotes and stories of myself and many of my clients who were in the darkest of times as entrepreneurs and how we turn our business and our lives around. Because how you do anything is how you do everything. Like my health is connected to my relationship with my wife, which was connected to my, which is connected to my mindset, which is connected to my significance and impact I want to have on this planet. Speaker 3:     35:42           No one thing. I can't be fat, sick and out of shape, but I expect to run a business at its full potential. Impossible. And so I started to think in in 2013, but you know what? As a human, I think I'm at the top of the food chain on this planet. I'm pretty sure as a human we are tOp of the food chain yet I'm going to be very honest with you, man. I had taco bell and del taco wrappers in my car for like three, four weeks ago. I had empty starbucks cups and soda cans and you would think that a hobo lIved in my car and I remember looking around in my car and being disgusted with myself. I'm like, wow, I'm living subpar. Like a. Like a dog doesn't even go poop in the area that it leaves. It actually walks away right? Speaker 3:     36:25           Yet. Yet I had this junk. I had crap around me because I thought so little of myself, so if I'm a human and I'm top of the food chain, but I'm not living to my fullest potential and expectations, shame on me. I better start with self discipline and so I. That's where I started, was with my weight, with my health, with cleaning up things around me and when women always want to put anything man up on social media, every now and again, most women are totally on board with the movement because they understand. Matt up simply means stop making excuses, take control of your situation and rise to your fullest potential. but they go, well, you know, why can't we women up? I said, look, if you want a woman up, you can woman up, but at the end of the day I want you to human up because your top of the food chain is a human and when it's a human up, and so if the word man is in the name isn't the word human, we just need to man up to our greatest potential and if that means warming up and then so be it. Speaker 3:     37:18           I love it. Well, it's a great book. Again, you guys get it manta.com or go to amazon right now and get it beFore it actually goes live in september. Um, my problem is I would love to sit and talk to you for hours because there's so many things I want to talk to you about on this book. So I know your limit on time. There's two different things. I'll let you kind of pick which one you want to talk about. Emotional resilience or else the glue that holds things together. Ah, let's talk about emotIonal resilience because this translates emotional resilience, translates into your personal life and your professional life. And at the end of the day I just want to give back. I'm like, I would have wanted someone to give to me when I was coming up as an entrepreneur and thank god I accidentally found my first mentor, jim franco, who was a personal training client of mine. Speaker 3:     38:00           I was just complaining to him one day saying, well jim, I'm a personal trainer and a fry cook and a bouncer at a bar. I don't want to be a fry cook and a bouncer. I want to be a full time personal trainer, and he said, you know what, you're a horrible salesperson and I'm going to teach you how to sell, and he took mercy on me and he mentored me and so I figured if I could just pass that message along, mentoring someone else now so that they see the value of mentors and invest in him sooner than I did. It wouLd be huge. But emotional resilience is this. Oftentimes as humans, especially humans who have a business, you have competition because you're an entrepreneur. You have competition, you have regulation. Probably either a state regulation, federal regulation, if you're a supplement company or in my case, a franchise to the federal trade commission oversees us like, like we have an inhouse compliance officer overseeing everything we do. Speaker 3:     38:50           Right? And so you know, just like people who sell stocks and commodities and all that stuff, and so you have competition regulation, you have taxes, you have people who might even try and steal your business idea and go elsewhere. You have the economy that might crash around you. And while you have advertising that you have to do and all these things cost stress, like nothing, nothing worse than sending a few ads on facebook and then getting a random disapproval message and then two weeks ago that same ad was running this week. That adds not no one's responding to you and you're just, you want to go nuts, you want to send a an all caps email with a lot of profanity to somebody in facebook and say like, what the heck is going on? I'm just trying to serve my industry, makes some money, and it has some significance. Speaker 3:     39:32           Well, most of the time we tend to over react emotionally and, and here's where that comes from. And I was able to look inside me and react and I'm embarrassed to say the state, but there was a time and 2004, I was on a phone call with a customer who very quickly became a non-customer after my reaction, instead of my response, he said, you know what? I've downloaded this high tech trainer thing on my palm pilot, but it's not working as advertised now. At this point, we were in so much debt and we hardly making any money. I took it as though he was literally saying, you have an ugly child who's horrible human. I said that right, and truth be told I was burning the candle on both ends and I took it personally and instead of saying, well sir, let's talk about what operating system you have on your. Speaker 3:     40:22           Because I did my own customer support on your palmpilot, et cetera. I just lost it. I'm like, what? You have no idea how long they took me to build a software. You have no idea how many people have to hire from India. And then they screwed it up. Then had to find people in United States and that I'm, as I'm talking and yelling, I'm just. I see my barometer go from yellow to orange to red and then I just started smashing the phone until all that's left is the court in my hands and I look over and there's my wife, like, what in the world just happened to you? Right? And that moment I said, can you believe this guy? The nerve that he would have to tell us this after we've taken six years to build a software and data that, um, well in hindsight years later I realized the guy was having a problem. Speaker 3:     41:00           He's a paying customer. My job is to help them through a solution instead of reacting and taking it personally. I could have just responded effectively by saying, hey, you know what, why don't you want me to model of your palmpilot? Why don't you tell me, um, when you downloaded this thing, what version of high tech trainer did you download? And walking them through the steps. And so, but I realized were emotional reaction comes from, and I'm gonna share this with you and your audience so that we never do it again when we're born and we're babies, we're in a crib and it's the middle of the night. And being, uh, being a parent, you've had this happen. All of a sudden this baby just out of nowhere, it's just start screaming, holy murder. You just spring up your spring up and what's going on? Okay. Speaker 3:     41:39           It's a new baby. Okay. Whereas mom, okay, we need to breastfeed or bottle feed. Got it done. All of a sudden the baby two hours later screams again, oh my gosh, what's going on? Oh, the baby has pooped themselves. Now we need to change the diapers. So the baby gets used to asking for things through emotional reaction. It's our job as parents, as they grow up, you go, hey, you know what? You don't have to emotionally react anymore. We've all been into the target or the walmart or the nordstrom's where we see this kid who's now eight, nine years old and having a temper tantrum, trying to get his way just like when he was a two month old baby. Right? And that's because the parents didn't spend the time to teach them how to phase out emotional reaction and phase in logical response like, you can actually talk now, son, so why don't you tell us what your feeling was? Speaker 3:     42:26           That hunger pains, okay, you want food? Great, let's see how we can feed you. And so I realized that most of us never got past the emotional reaction phase of survival. And so even as adults, we believe that the squeaky wheel gets the oil. Yeah, okay. That term exists, but the squeaky wheel also gets hated upon and has lost all trust and respect and authority. And so If you can just step back and go, what is this person across from me saying, is it a personal attack or are they just criticizing my business and product? Okay. It's a criticism of my business and product, not of me personally. If I emotionally react, I only have one thing I can do freak out and no one's gonna benefit. If I respond, I might have three or four options, so I'm going to choose to emotionally or to effectively respond strategically, respond with this answer because I think that's going to be the best and it's having the wherewithal as an adult to not react anymore. Speaker 3:     43:21           Instead, take a step back, take a deep breath. Don't write that email and send it out. Write the email and just let it sit there and your drafts right? Or don't send that text message just because someone got flared up to right. But it's so easy to react, but it takes a pro. It truly takes a pro. the amateur reacts to the pro. We'll step back, assess the situation. It's not a personal attack. And even if it is, it's probably coming from a place of, of weird emotions that they're having. I'm not going to take it personally. Here's how I'm going to strategically respond. And anytime I've responded to a situation, I've been able to change the other person's perspective and get them to see the light when I've come to them with fists up. Well we've really duked it out. No one's one. And so one of the best quotes I've heard is you never want to argue with someone stupid because it will bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience. But I was pretty emotionally reactive per person and that would just bring people down down to my level and I beat them with just freaking out at them. And then of course they'd stopped doing business with me and they tarnished my reputation and I'd somehow blamed them again. But truly, if we can just manage our emotions and be more responsive instead of reactive, man, the world opens up with so many opportunities. Speaker 2:     44:37           I love it will be. I get, I could spend all afternoon with you. I love being around you. I appreciate all the, all the wisdom, the value bombs you've been dropping for our audience here. Again guys, go check out [inaudible] dot com or go to amazon and get it there. Again, I appreciate your kindness and offering. It's huge. Twenty $500 course to our audience. That was kind of you. And any other parting words before we wrap things up? Speaker 3:     44:57           Well, no, I just have to say this, that uh, and you know that when you first opened it up you said, you know, tell us more about self discipline, but everyone on here is going to have room to improve and their leadership skills. And I can tell you that the easiest path you're going to want to take is to become a better communicator or more decisive. We're trying to build a team or clarity of vision. Go back and look in the mirror, start with yourself. And when you can work from the inside out, the outcome that you get in your business and your success and your personal family life is, is monumental. And, and that's the one parting message I want to leave with the audience here. Speaker 2:     45:32           I appreciate it. Thanks. We'll talk to you soon. Speaker 3:     45:34           Appreciate it. Take care, dave. Speaker 4:     45:36           Hey everybody. Thank you so much for takIng the time to listen to podcasts.

How might I ACTUALLY achieve your goals?

How to make money with bitcoin What do I ACTUALLY think about crypto currency How to start a crypto currency business “Want to connect on Facebook? Add me on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/aleksander.vitkin Some people are running a serious business while others are buying bitcoins with the hope that their value will go up. Most people who are in the bitcoin “business” have lost money. There is a small amount of people who know what they are doing, others are lucky and the rest have no idea what they are doing at all and are unlucky. The problem is the short term mindset of get rich quick mindset which does not exist. Here are the most important rules everyone should take into consideration. Build a real business. Stick to stuff. Don’t dabble. Do market research. Sell shovels and don’t try digging for gold. Here are 2 conflicting mindsets that people struggle with. There are guys with consumer mindsets. If you let other people sell to you instead of selling to other people, then you are an employee. There are guys with producer mindsets who build platforms and collect money for investments. They are sales people who have a scalable business. Here is how bitcoin trading works. It is a transfer of funds. You take it from people who have no clue and give it to people who do have a clue. Putting money into a coin is not the maximum value you could be providing. The best way you can earn a lot of money is with an online business. The solution is to build a real business that provides value. Focus on getting paid first, prove your shit and scale it. If you want to earn money with crypto, you have to create a crypto business. Very few people make any money with crypto. If you are going to buy bitcoins, you really have to know what you are doing. My advice for you is to leave the crypto stuff aside and start an actual business. That is what we are focused on in our mastermind Daily Business Hustle. We help our members to choose and implement a working business model. We teach them how to sell, what to sell, how to deliver it, how to outsource and how to automate it.
