This episode I had the opportunity to talk with Eric Dawson: Owner of Titan Barbell, mentor, coach, husband, father, and role model to many. Eric is extremely well spoken and I really enjoyed this conversation. As it turns out, he and I share very similar backgrounds: both high-school and college athletes, grew up working multiple trade/ labor jobs, and both ended up training in a corporate gym setting not because it was something we necessarily planned to do, but needed where our previous jobs were no longer feasible. After spending the first half an hour discussing that process, we talk about getting involved in Strength Sports, again, both at 27. In Eric's case, getting involved in competing is what led to him starting Titan out of his garage and eventually expanding to their current location in Stoneham.

Shoutout to Stavi Baby. Lastly, I wrap things up for the year with the final goats doing goat shit installment of 2023 stick around for all that good stuff and more. But before we get into this year end episode, I wanted to tell you about a quick way that you can help support this podcast. Your support means a lot, especially with the motivation and inspiration that provides for me to continue putting out this content. Here's one quick way that you can help support the Swan [00:01:00] Sunday podcast. And then we'll jump right into the episode, leave the world behind. It's a movie that came out in select theaters and it's a Netflix movie that was available as of December 8th, 2023. Here is the official synopsis. A family's getaway to a luxurious rental home takes an ominous turn when a cyber attack knocks out their devices and two strangers appear at their door. And as we like to do here on the Spun Today podcast, I'd like to shout out first and foremost, the writers. Leave the World Behind was written by Ruman Alam and Sam Esmail. Shout out to them. Also of note is that the movie is based on a novel written by Ruman Alam. And I'd also like to mention that Sam Esmail is the writer, creator, director of Mr. Robot, which is that series. Starring Rami Malek, which [00:02:00] I've covered here on the podcast in the past. If you're interested in that, feel free to look at the Spun Today archives for all that good stuff. Now let's get into my little recap and review of this movie. Where as usual, I'll share a couple of my favorite lines and overall just let you guys know what I thought of it. First off and foremost, I'd like to start out by saying, Y'all Are a bunch of fucking HATERS I've only heard negative Just shitting all over this movie And for the record, I enjoyed it. I liked it It was a good watch. I thought it was a good movie I didn't think it was a piece of shit or like, you know It was So so worth watching, whatever, not a waste of time I thought it was a good movie, I enjoyed it First and foremost So I'm going to put that out there, but what's funny to me is that this movie also of [00:03:00] note, it was produced by Barack Obama and his production company and the deal that he has, I guess, with just producing content for like Netflix and Spotify, et cetera. And most of the critique that I've heard, on the negative side of things, again, only the negative side of things, and also not just from. My friends on the right, for example, but just random or not random, but just like different people from different walks of life and just folks, you know, personal friends and people that I found online that watched the movie just all had the same negative type of reaction towards the movie saying it's a complete waste of time. I just wasted, you know, two hours of my life, etc, etc. And as I'm watching, I'm . This movie has to end horribly for that, all those, all, all that negativity to make sense to me, in my opinion, because I liked it all [00:04:00] throughout and the ending was just even more fitting. I was , what the fuck? What's the everybody's beef with this movie? But anyway, one of the biggest critiques of it is that since this is produced by Barack Obama, there's some sort of hidden meaning and it's like left wing propaganda. I heard some folks stating shout out to Vinny, I believe from the PBD pod stating that this is called a predictive programming, which is when at least my layman understanding of it, when media or movies or music or books or, you know, different types of art kind of try to prime society for something that is to come. That's called the predictive programming and this movie, especially because of the fact that it's being produced by Barack Obama and his production company, got even more of those labels attached to it and that like conspiracy lore, in my opinion. Does [00:05:00] anyone know for sure? Of course not. One way or the other. I just don't think that that's the case and I'll tell you guys why in a bit. But essentially the movie, what it's about is. This family lives in the city, in New York City, decides to go out to a house in Long Island. Seems like the Hamptons or Montauk or something like that. A fancy, you know, big mansion with a pool. And the parents, played by Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke, who did a great job. And their two children, played by Farrah McKenzie and Charlie Evans. Now they decide impromptu to go out to this little family vacation getaway. And while they're there at this Airbnb mansion that they rented, the internet goes out, the phones are down. There's a bad connection, signals going in and out and the TV's not working. And then in the middle of the night, Mahershala Ali and his daughter, Myhala, I believe that's how [00:06:00] you say her name, which by the way was an actress that was in an episode of Black Mirror, the latest season, which I completely forgot to recap and review, which I thought was a great season So that'll be coming soon 2024 But she was the main actress of Locke Henry, which was my favorite episode of Black Mirror Well, I don't know my favorite, but definitely one of my favorites of that last season. But more on that when, when I recap that. But they show up in the middle of the night and they knock on the door. Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke open up, you know, mind you, they're in the middle of nowhere, Long Island in this mansion that they just rented. And two people show up. Dressed to the nines. Maha Shali is in a tuxedo. His daughter. My, my that was probably more wrong than I said it the first time, [00:07:00] but she has a, you know, beautiful nightgown on and they pretty much tell them, listen GH Scott, I'm George. I'm the person that you emailed with. And this is my house. You know, we, we rented it to you guys because we were going to stay in our, our house in the city. Cause I'm part of the Philharmonic or some Ritzy Rich thing he mentioned and Julie Roberts and Ethan Hawke are kind of like taking it back what? We,, what are you doing here? We rented this place and they explained that there was like a blackout, the city's all dark and you know, their apartment is a penthouse in the 40 something floor. So they decided just to drive back there and they were hoping they could stay in the basement. So they're in quite a predicament, you know. Nobody's phone is working. The, they eventually ask him for ID. To prove that it's his house. He left it in his jacket supposedly at the theater. So he doesn't have ID on him.[00:08:00] Ethan Hawke is more on the side of believing him. Julie Roberts is super skeptical. And there's a liquor cabinet that's locked. That was supposedly not part of the rental. So there was no keys for it for it. And Mahershala Ali kind of used that as the proof that it's his house. And offered them a 50 percent refund. And he went to that liquor cabinet. And they're being super nice, you know, because they understand it's a really awkward situation. And why should they believe him? And he goes to the liquor cabinet, you know, he's, he's looking for the keys, doesn't know exactly which key it is. But eventually finds it and opens it, unlocks it and gives them money. And I just thought of a, a story telling device that I just realized. They say you're not supposed to show a gun, for example, unless you use it later on in the story. Unless you shoot it. But I guess you could argue that it was used. [00:09:00] It wasn't shot, but it was used. Because in this scene when he's opening up the liquor cabinet, He opens a drawer that has money there. He takes out the envelope of money, but the camera pans to a gun that's there as well. So it's kind of like, you know, ratcheting up the tension of the story. And that gun is never used or shot except for when Mahash Ali is has a confrontation with a neighbor. Kevin Bacon when they go to his house To he's a doomsday prepper. So they figured he would have supplies that would help and Charlie Evans this character, which is Ethan Hawks kid Got bit by a tick or something that and and got pretty sick so they went over there to see if he had antibiotics or something like that and Being a doomsday prepper, you know, he comes to his porch Respectfully but kind of not with a Shotgun And eventually they, you know, they make a trade for some meds, which does make the kid better. But I guess in that [00:10:00] moment Mahash Ali does pull out the gun kind of to protect himself against Kevin Bacon's character having the shotgun. So technically it didn't break that storytelling device. They showed the gun and they used it. They just didn't shoot it, I guess. But okay, going back. So there's this awkward. Thing going on where, you know, is this really his house? Is it not his house? They seem to know where everything is. He had the keys, but he doesn't have ID. He shows up in the middle of the night. You know, nobody's phones are working. Like, what the fuck is going on? TV's not working. Radio, , nothing. So they ultimately agreed to let him let them stay. But stay in the basement. And then the daughter, she's kind of upset because she's , wait, this is our fucking house and the worst thing in the basement of our own house. She kind of has that more confrontational attitude that Julia Roberts is reciprocating. And they're kind of like, you can see that there there's tension between them and they're gonna butt heads from jump. [00:11:00] Ethan Hawke's character is more laid back, more trusting. Mahershala Ali is more disarming and more understanding of the situation. And also lets on that he knows something of what's going on. He works in finance, deals with billionaire, really rich clients. Kind of lets on in speaking to his daughter and confidence that one of his clients told him something about what's going on, but he doesn't want to raise suspicions or scare anyone. And he's not a hundred percent sure either. He's just kind of reading the financial tea leaves, if you will. Now, another, I guess, conspiracy layer to this whole thing being this whole production being a predictive programming or whatever, is that the kids had a NASA shirt, t shirt on, and the other kid had an Obey t shirt on, and the Obey t shirt what it's supposed to symbolize, it's a, you know, a counterculture skateboarder brand, and what it's [00:12:00] supposed to symbolize, Within the, you know, conspiracy lore is, you know, speaking truth to power and not obeying the narrative or something along those lines. And then the NASA thing is supposed to be some sort of conspiracy thing, but I couldn't find anything on that. I don't understand the significance behind that and why, you know, it's considered an issue by some that it was in the movie. Also, that kind of fueled the whole conspiracy theory thing is, That apparently Obama said a statement where he stated that he gave a lot of notes to Sam Esmail and Rumaan Alam, who again, wrote the novel that this movie is based on. Sam Esmail wrote the screenplay for it, adapting it to the screen. But Obama provided notes on how to make the movie more realistic. So because of that. [00:13:00] You know, folks are saying, you know, he's trying to tell us something, you know, they're priming us for something that's going to happen. And ultimately what does wind up happening, spoiler alert, is that there was a concerted attack on America, specifically our electrical grid. And everything from communication to hospitals, electricity itself, is all tied to this, you know What we know to be this crumbling infrastructure of an electrical grid that we have that's super outdated and that politicians always run on stating that we need to fix it because if not, if we don't make serious strides in terms of fixing it and enhancing it, it could be catastrophic. But in the movie, some hackers apparently were able to bring it down. And America began to be bombed and it was a concerted effort by America's enemies.[00:14:00] Now, to that point, and also to the point of the t shirts that I was speaking about earlier, I buy the fact that it's a realistic, I don't know about hackers and stuff that. Maybe it is, but a realistic thing, because it's something that we've heard for, for years and years, probably decades that The infrastructure, the crumbling infrastructure of the electrical grid is a problem that needs to be dealt with. So I feel like something fucking up in that realm or whether being bombed or hacked or just deterioration over time or what have you is going to have detrimental effects to American society. That doesn't seem far fetched, that doesn't seem like a conspiracy, that doesn't seem like I guess the angle from the conspiracy perspective is that They're letting us know that this, you know, is looming this, this threat or something like that, or it is happening to them. But it's definitely within the realm of possibility, right? Like, I don't hear that and say , Oh my God, that's, that's nuts. That would never [00:15:00] happen. It's actually the exact opposite. It seems very plausible. Now to the part about the t shirts and, you know, left leaning tendencies being sprinkled throughout the movie to that, I say, of course. It's produced by Arguably, probably not even arguably, but the most influential Powerful Democrat in America, which is Barack Obama Sorry, Joe and He's behind producing this movie If Dwayne the Rock Johnson was producing this movie, I'd expect to see Wrestling t shirts and and shit throughout the movie You know what? I mean? It's like No shit is going to be left leaning and, and to have a bias in that direction, because it's being produced by someone that has that bias and is from that direction. Also, and this is just my speculation, if it also seems plausible to me that someone Barack Obama, who's [00:16:00] in, you know, obviously the highest of the public eye, former president of the United States now is going into this space of media, whether through Spotify deal and podcasts and producing movies and books. To me, it makes sense that part of the reasoning for that is to do what he can from his former being now being a former president, doing what he can to influence. A big way to influence is through culture. A big way to, an effective way, seems to influence culture and sentiment is through the mediums that society consumes. That we as consumers take in, whether it's movies, whether it's books, whether it's podcasts, whether it's music. So if he, which I don't know any reason to think otherwise, but if he, [00:17:00] Has this concern about the, the grid, the electrical grid, as we've heard many politicians in the past, you know, speak to probably been Obama. I just can't remember any from memory right now, but if he does have those concerns and he's in this space, you know, mental space or what have you of wanting to do something about it or what he can do about it, And with the tools that he now has at his disposal, again, movies, media, books, podcasts, it makes sense for him to push that type of narrative. You know what I mean? It's a, it just seems , so like, duh, to me that I don't understand, , what's the kind of gotcha type of feedback that I'm hearing around this movie., Oh, look what he's trying to do. It's , yeah, if I was a president, I was trying to get legislation passed to fix the infrastructure, infrastructure and the electrical grid. [00:18:00] And it didn't pan out the way I wanted it to. And now I'm doing movies. Yeah. I'm going to make movies about that shit too. To see if this works. You know what I mean? Like if that's my thing that I want to get done, but I digress now for my friends on the right and other folks that, you know, not necessarily from the right, but just I think that this is a big conspiracy or whatever. Something that is very interesting that I would think is a better argument to those points is the fact that Mark Zuckerberg, for example, in Hawaii recently came out that he is building a hundred million dollar doomsday bunker under the ground in Hawaii in this area where supposedly, allegedly, Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos and others have also purchased land. That, that definitely caused the, a raising of the eyebrows, , wait, are they trying to fucking tell us something? Is something coming? And also, , what is the purpose of it? If [00:19:00] that is the case, right? Let's, let's, let's say this predictive programming is a thing and just , you know, secret societies of folks running the world and stuff that., is the purpose to prime the public in hopes that they're less freaked out if. The grid failed and everything went to shit. , wouldn't we still equally freak the fuck out at the same levels? Whether we have seen this movie or we're primed with this information or not. You know what I mean? , is there something about it that makes us just psychologically, more accepting of the fact, , I don't know, that's beyond my comprehension, but. Yeah, I thought that was definitely interesting. The fact that folks are building these doomsday bunkers, especially to that scale Now a critique that I definitely do agree with is the score of the movie They laid it on very thick [00:20:00] and I thought that was a failure of the movie like they made it very I felt like I was watching a Freddy Krueger or Chucky movie from the 80s in terms of the score just this ominous Something's gonna happen suspenseful music and throughout the whole shit it felt like from beginning to end. It was just this Scary fucking ominous thing that was laid on so thick that it took away from I feel the, it took me more out of it than into it, if that makes sense. Normally the score will help enhance the mood that you as an audience member should be feeling, but this I felt was trying to do that so much so that it took me out of it a bit. So that's my critique of that. Now one more big spoiler alert. So again, fast forward or skip this. If you haven't seen the movie yet, but I'll say this before I share a couple of lines of dialogue that I appreciated from the film. Throughout the whole movie, the daughter, played by Farrah McKenzie, is [00:21:00] obsessed with the show Friends. She was streaming it on her tablet, and she was up to the final episode of the final season. And that's when, you know, the internet dropped and she couldn't stream it, basically. Anyway, so she annoying her brother and pretty much everybody with wanting to find out what happens with Ross and Rachel. And, you know, there's a lot more serious shit going on, obviously. So everybody kind of just pushes her concerns of how a 90s sitcom ends to the side. But towards the end, she winds up. Going up to the, you know, disappearing for a while. She, she was , went in the woods and the mom is looking for her as well as Maha Ali's daughter, whose name I'm not gonna try to pronounce again. They kinda mend their relationship in this moment that, you know, they're looking for the daughter and something happens with them in the woods. They wind mending their, their relationship, but then they see this house at a [00:22:00] distance, which they had, foreshadowed before. It's a big white house with the red door and they know the daughter took a bike from the garage and they were following these bike tracks to figure out where the heck it is that she went. And Kevin Bacon's character earlier when he had the confrontation with Ethan Hawke and Mahershala Ali mentioned that this house and how that neighbor supposedly had. Some doomsday prepper, bunker set up in this house. Cause Kevin Bacon was a construction worker and architect. And so he knew everybody's house, the ins and outs of everybody's house. But ultimately they pan to the daughter being in that house. Apparently the, the owners of the house weren't there. And they probably got stuck in the city, which at this point it's being bombed and bombarded. And she finds this door that she follows. To a huge [00:23:00] basement underground bunker that has crops and hydroponic lighting and exercise equipment. And aisles and aisles and aisles of canned foods and huge jugs of water. And it's just a doomsday preppers wet dream, right? Space to sleep and bunk beds and the whole nine, a huge TV and a wall full of wall to wall. DVDs is a computer that somehow has some sort of access to not like full internet computer, but it's getting a feed that is stating what's going on. And it confirms there at the end of the movie that, you know, the country is under attack. And there's large amounts of radiation and a whole bunch of shit. And then it just ends with the girl pulling out a DVD from the wall, which was Friends. And then, going to the final episode and [00:24:00] pressing play. Then the Friends theme song begins to play and the movie ends that way. Which I thought was so fitting. You know, cause you know the mom, and Mahershala Ali's daughter found the tracks and know where she went so they were like headed towards the house And you know that Ethan Hawke and the the brother who somehow instantly started feeling fine with the the medication that They got from Kevin Bacon And Mahershala Ali were knew about the place and we're ultimately gonna wind up there as well It's all those loose ends got tied out and it was just a very Fitting and, in my opinion, satisfying ending. But yeah, spoiler alert on that. Let me tell you guys about a couple dope lines of dialogue. So Mahershala Ali is breaking down a few things that he knows about what's going on and what he works in and finance and who his clients are and stuff that. And, you know, he's going on and on. But then ends it with, you know, I don't want to freak anybody out, I'm not, I'm not, you know, [00:25:00] sure. This, that and the other. I don't know any more than that, blah, blah, blah. And Julia Roberts character just flips out on him and she's like, really? You seemed pretty fucking certain a while ago with your haunting soliloquy. I just love that line. That line. Haunting soliloquy. Another great line I thought was the next two actually from Mahershala Ali's character, I believe. Which is the quiet is so noisy, or that may have been Julie Roberts, but I think it was him. The quiet is so noisy. And then this last one, which is definitely from him, where he stated, Nothing frightens me more than a person unwilling to learn, even at their own expense. And then lastly, a line that Kevin Bacon said, which was that we made a lot of enemies around the world. And in his opinion, it looks like a few of them teamed up, which, you know, what that made me think of that made me [00:26:00] think of the BRICS alliance that we were recently hearing, hearing about, because they were having their, which I thought was a new alliance or something that. And it's not the BRICS alliance for those who may not know is BRICS is an acronym that stands for an association of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. And it's an intergovernmental organization. Comprised of those countries that was formed in 2010 and in 2010, that's just when South Africa late joined the enemy and it became bricks before that was brick B R I C it's a group of emerging economies, but we were recently hearing of them and it was because they had their 15th annual state government summit or something that. But anyway, that line of dialogue from Kevin Bacon of, of, you know, a few of our enemies, quote unquote, teaming up. Just made me think of that for some reason. And yeah, I'll just say this in closing, which is that I don't think, obviously don't know for sure, but I don't think that there's this, like, [00:27:00] secret cabal of humans running the world and, you know, pulling all the strings and having specific ideas of where they want the world to be and go and where it's been, etc. But I do believe that the world is ran by incentives, and depending on how those incentives are aligned, you can get people to make certain decisions and, and do certain actions, etc. And the way society is set up, we have groups of people, whether it be small groups or corporations or countries, which is a large group, or individuals. That absolutely are driven by the motives and motivations that the incentives in their respective fields or interests, how they line up. And for the most part, folks are just living their lives, want the same or similar things, you know, [00:28:00] health, happiness for themselves and their families to create a better life than a previous generation. And also guided in part by. The incentive structures in your life, you might be incentivized by let's think about it at a very micro level. You might be incentivized financially, which drives you to work extra super hard to try to get that promotion at work. You might be incentivized by a bad or negative diagnosis. That a doctor gives you, and that lets you know you need to do something about your health, and that incentivizes you to become uber healthy. You might be incentivized by laziness, and you just want to watch TV and eat potato chips. You might be let's think of a large group. A corporation is incentivized by their bottom line. They want to increase their bottom line at all costs. They have a mandate to do so, and a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders. So they're incentivized in that [00:29:00] direction, depending on The industry that they're in that takes different shapes and forms So on and so forth. So I think it's more a function of that than it is a function of you know, this secret society's running shit But yeah, that's just me And I digress That is my little recap and review of leave the world behind Definitely worth checking out And you can do so By checking it out on netflix old dads It's a movie that debuted on Netflix on October 20th, 2023. Here is the official synopsis. Three best friends become fathers later in life and find themselves battling preschool principals, millennial CEOs, and anything created after 1987. As we like to do here on the Sponsor Day Podcast, let's shout out the writers first and foremost. Old Dads was written by Bill Burr and Ben Tischler. [00:30:00] Shout out to those guys. Of note is that the movie was directed by Bill Burr as well. And it starred the three best friends, Bill Burr, Bobby Cannavale, and Bukim Woodbine. Also of note is that it was produced by All Things Comedy, which is Bill Burr's production company, co founded by Bill Burr and Al Madrigal. And tying it to the what we were speaking about earlier with the biases of the producer or producers of a movie coming out through the movie. This being produced by All Things Comedy and Bill Burr writing it and directing it highlights that point perfectly in my opinion. Because if you're familiar with Bill Burr's stand up comedy or his podcast and his personality in general, you see a lot of it in this film. And that's obviously his point of view, his movie, [00:31:00] he wrote it, he directed it, he produced it, of course you're going to get that, you know what I mean? , that should not come as a surprise. But I was really happy with this movie, I thought it was a masterclass in just social commentary and all that's wrong with. Social virtue signaling and what we prioritize to speak about and be quote unquote angry about or, you know, signal to other folks, Hey, this is what I'm angry about now. To get social brownie points or whatever the fuck it is, I thought this movie was a masterclass in that. It was funny, it was engaging, certain frustrations that I as a father deal with, I saw a bit of myself in, you know, some of the characters in the movie., there's a scene in the beginning where Bobby Cannavale's kid, which is just that. They're at a party, a birthday party, and there's a bunch of kids around and parents and you know, everybody just doing their own thing, barbecue in the backyard. [00:32:00] And one of the kids, which is Bobby Cannavale's kid, is just running around, hitting people with sticks, throwing shit, just being that asshole kid at the party. And then he has his mom, Bobby Cannavale's wife. Which is the type of mom that, you know, thinks that their kid can do no wrong, you know? Meanwhile, this, , five year old, six year old, whatever he is, is, , literally grabbing a branch from a tree and smacking people across the face with it, across the head with it, and , just screaming at the top of his lungs and just, , acting the fuck out. But the mom is, you know, thinks he can't do any wrong and is making excuses for him. Oh, he's just expressing himself. What's wrong with expressing yourself? It's not He's not allowed to express himself. Is he supposed to suppress his feelings, et cetera, et cetera. And it's , all right, lady, relax. , I get it. But at the same time, check your kid. , that's not normal behavior. And yet there's a scene where the kid winds up hurting Bill Burr's kid, pushing him or something. He scrapes his knee. And then Bill Burr, you know, doesn't want to baby his kid. [00:33:00] You know, he's like, you know, rub some dirt in it. You'll be okay. And then sees that Bobby Cannavale can't even stand up to his own wife. Although he agrees with Bill Burr that his kid is just , wigging the fuck out. And what Bill Burr does is, he waits until nobody's looking, the kid is passing by and he just trips the kid. I thought that was definitely hilarious and something I wanted to do. In that scene also there's a cameo by Rick Glassman which lives across the street. and it's a hilarious exchange between him and Bill Burr. And he tells him, oh, you know, he shouldn't rub dirt in it. He should put some Neosporin in it or something like that. And Bill Burr's like, yeah, who the fuck are you ? What you a doctor or something? He was , no, it's just, you know, common sense. You, you want to keep a, a cut clean and and dry or whatever. And in true Bill Burr fashion, just lets his anger out on him type of thing and tells him to fuck off and mind his business. And that was a dope thing also about the movie is that there was a bunch of cameos with a bunch [00:34:00] of comics, which I to see. I love that in the Machine movie and in these bigger productions that these comics are coming out with. Rick Glassman is in it. As I mentioned, they showed a mural that's in LA of Brody Stevens. R. I. P. to Brody. Paul Verzi is in it. It's a couple scenes in Strip Club, which were funny. Natasha Leggero is in it. She plays, , one of these, , uber progressive moms in the PTA. Rory Scoville is in it, another comic. It's really funny, really good. And basically, in the movie, Bill Burr and his friends, you know, they have this company that they started. They're making good money but they made the decision to sell it. And they wind up selling it to this new agey type of tech startup ish type of company. Meanwhile, it's a, the company that they built is a company that makes throwback jerseys or something that and some other apparel. [00:35:00] And it shows really well this cultural stylistic difference between this new agey corporate BS or not BS rather, but mentality versus. A more old school, blue collar ish type of approach to running a business. But there is a lot of new agey corporate BS buzzwords and stuff that. When this CEO millennial kid is speaking to Bill Burr and Bobby Cannavale and Bokeem Woodbine's character. Pretty much telling them that if they don't get with the, you know, new program and Stuff like that, that they, they would be let go because they sold the company, but they stayed on as founders and Bill Burr with his charming anger just tells them, are you threatening me? And then the new agey corporate CEO guy just tells them, no, it's just transparent leadership. And he has a bunch of like these flowery buzzword terms[00:36:00] to relabel what he's really saying. There's just a bunch of funny exchanges with him throughout the movie as well. Another hilarious scene is the dude that played Big Head in Silicon Valley. He's Natasha Leggero's husband and they're in this PTA meeting type of thing and it's them two and Bill Burr and Bobby Cannavale because their kids all go to the same school and a couple other people and he interrupts Bill Burr because he's saying that he is using too much of his white privilege or something like that and making decisions or offering opinions that come from a white privileged point of view and that he feels triggered by it. Meanwhile, the guy's white and Bill Burr's , wait a second, aren't you white? And he looks at Bobby Cannavale and he's , ain't that a white guy? It's just moments that. That's fucking hilarious. And then Big Ed's character goes. It says something to the [00:37:00] effect of, excuse me, I did my 23andMe and I am 1, 000th of a percent Native American or some shit like that. And that percentage of me is triggered by you offering to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It was just a funny, really funny exchange. Which ties back again to the me saying that this is a masterclass social commentary. , all that type of, , virtue signaling, you know, being angry about shit that doesn't really matter., acting you're mad about shit that you're not really mad about, but you think it's, , the cool thing to be upset about and to highlight, to signal about. And yeah, it was just a a funny, entertaining watch, again, written and produced and directed by a comic who makes it funny for a living. You know what I mean? So, it, it, I love seeing that. And I definitely want to see more of it. Shout out once again to Bill Burr. And all things comedy. Oh, and also the lovely Nia who made an appearance. She had a cameo as a I don't think [00:38:00] it's a cameo technically. She was the nurse that delivered Bill Burr's Bill Burr's baby. For Nia, for those of you who don't know is Bill Burr's wife in real life. And that was pretty cool to see as well. Old Dads. Definitely, definitely, definitely worth a watch. I highly recommend it. It is available now on Netflix. Stavros Halkis Fat Rascal is a very funny stand up comedy special currently available on Netflix that came out in November or maybe December of 2023. I think December actually. It's his second stand up special, if I'm not mistaken. I actually have to go back and watch the first one because I haven't, but I'll circle back to that in a second. The official synopsis on Netflix is that comedian Stavros Halkis cheerfully skewers tech culture, air travel, sex, breakups, and himself in this raunchy and righteously acerbic [00:39:00] stand up special. Full disclosure on Stavros. I was a Stavros hater. And I'll admit it was just me being a hypocritical piece of shit because I hadn't seen any of his anything before. I just saw that he was, , he started popping up in my feed and I saw him, , making rounds on podcasts that I normally listen to. And he just, , rubbed me the wrong way. I don't, and I don't know why. Again, completely piece of shit take and thought from me, especially literally not even,, seeing any of his content. I It was just a, an initial knee jerk reaction and I was just like, I'm not going to listen to this episode or I'm not going to watch this clip with this guy that is going around. But then enough podcasts, episodes and enough clips came up and I was like, let me see, let me see. But you know who this guy is at least, instead of just negatively judging him for absolutely no reason. [00:40:00] And he's fucking hilarious. He has one of the most contagious laughs as well. Which is great just when somebody has a contagious laugh that their laugh makes you laugh. And I listen to and watch Stabby's World all the time which is his podcast now. And have since gone back to watch episodes of other podcasts that he was on that I watch or listen to. And just think he's great. So Stavi, apologies in advance for having that completely unprovoked, just negative reaction towards you for what it's worth. And you know what's dope about Stavi's world, the podcast, he has callers call in and leave voicemails with questions and just advice that they want from him. And. It's both hilarious because people call in with things I heard on the other day that was a clip of one [00:41:00] where a guy is married to a girl who has three kids from an ex and that ex stayed cool with that girl's mom and is now banging and dating the mom. So it's fucked up scenarios that and not just things that. Also people calling for relationship advice and. Life advice and stuff that. And they're funny and he has funny takes, but he also gives excellent like life coach level advice to these folks, which is an interesting juxtaposition that I appreciate. But yeah, a couple of my favorite bits from this special, again, fat rascal available on Netflix was One where he says that he's Greek, so he's, as if you couldn't tell from his name, Stavros Halkias. Where he says that Greeks are more Arab than white, but that folks consider them white because just whites in general wanted to pad their white resume with, you know, [00:42:00] democracy and philosophy. They're , nah, fuck you Arabs. We're keeping that. We're only owning those guys. We claim them. There's just a funny premise, a funny bit. It has a really good long airline bit, which was really good. And I loved probably my favorite bit of the whole special was his take on Neuralink and Elon Musk in general, but mainly Neuralink, which I've spoken about in the past. Here on the podcast, but if you don't know, Neuralink is one of Elon's endeavors, one of his companies where the goal is to have chips, computer chips implanted in your brain. And the idea is to start with paraplegics or people that are paralyzed and use that technology to bridge the communication gap that's happening between your brain and your spine and Your limbs that's not allowing you to walk anymore and people that are [00:43:00] blind that aren't able to see anymore and through this type of technology being able to repair those types of physiological issues But also down the line the thought of neural link is that it's kind of like having the internet in your head So you can Google shit in your mind type of thing Very black mirror ish But it's literally a real company that exists that is endeavoring to do this and has shown and had test subjects in pigs and monkeys and they actually featured it, I believe, almost certain I featured it as a video of the week in my, my free newsletter, which you all can subscribe to absolutely for free at sponsored. com forward slash subscribe, where I put out cool curated content like that. Interesting stuff. But yeah, they show videos of how this technology works and eventually how it will be adopted to humans, so on and so forth. But Stavros take, which is a very unique, very interesting and [00:44:00] very plausible take, is that he was , No tech company is going to create some shit Neuralink and, and I'm paraphrasing by the way. Hopefully I don't butcher this, but he says that no tech company is going to create something Neuralink and just give everybody the ability to know everything that exists in the world by, you know, Google searching shit, in your head and making people super smart and, you know, bettering humanity. He was , what a tech company would do and what they're more likely to do is just to put Get in your brain and start putting your own memories behind the paywall and say, Hey, you want to remember that hug from your dad? Deposit 99 cents here. Or do you want to remember that time that that girl, Sarah jacked you off in the back of the school bus when you guys were going on that class trip? Sorry, you can't access that memory because you're currently not enrolled in our platinum level memory program. He was like, [00:45:00] please enter your debit card. Or you get ads in the middle of you thinking back on something and trying to remember something with your mom and It's saying this memory is brought to you by Burger King Fucking hilarious, man, and it's so true, right? You could think of corporate greed mixed in with that type of technology and ability in the hands of the wrong person I could definitely see it going in that direction And it was just hilarious But yeah, I said, something I still need to do is go back and watch Stavi's first special, which is also available now and free on YouTube. I think it was from last year, but this one, I definitely highly recommend Stavros Halkis's Fat Rascal available now on Netflix. Goats doing goat shit. This is a segment where I like to highlight goats within their respective lanes, exceeding expectations and going above and beyond. This episode's inductee into the Spun Today Goats Doing Goat Shit segment is none other [00:46:00] than Mr. Beast. Shout out to Mr. Beast. Mr. Beast, for those of you who don't know, is the most popular YouTuber of all time. He does these really elaborate YouTube videos and not stunts, but Let me give you an example of The type of content that, that a type of content that he puts out, which is, for example, giving someone building a house in the middle of nowhere, a small little house and challenging someone to stay in the house. They can't leave the house for 30 days and if they do they get, I don't know, 500, 000 or something that. Can't see family, no internet, no anything. They'll have food and water and that's pretty much it. Then they'll have, you know, he'll do things there's a big circle in a field somewhere. Everybody's in the circle. Last person to leave the circle [00:47:00] wins, you know, X amount of dollars. You know, people are in a very cold frozen room. Last one to leave wins X amount of dollars, stuff like that. He also has a philanthropy arm to his channel, a completely separate channel dedicated to doing good. He recently had a video that I featured as a video of the week in my newsletter, Spuntrade. com forward slash subscribe if you're interested, where he paid for the cataract surgery for a hundred or a thousand people or something that that literally couldn't see for years and years and years and years because they couldn't afford this cataract surgery. Didn't have insurance to cover it. And through his philanthropy channel, did this their videos, they get millions and millions and millions of views generates funds for him to continue doing this type of thing. Now, the video specifically that I wanted to feature Mr. Beast [00:48:00] for is one that I will link to in the episode notes titled, I built 100 wells in Africa. So he literally went to Africa, him and his team. And coordinated and showed the building of 100 of water wells in Africa. Now, these are small, very, very impoverished, poor villages that live in conditions where they have to either walk miles to try to get some water, whether clean or not, usually not. Multiple times a day for drinking and cleaning and showering and that type of thing. There's no running water in these, these areas, these villages and many of the children especially grow up just with having diarrhea, getting typhoid disease and dying young and it's just a part of their, their lives. You know, we as humans get used to anything as they say, right? But what he did in building these natural freshwater wells. Which the process [00:49:00] essentially is this huge and they break it down in the video more eloquently than I can but these huge trucks that dig deep deep into the earth past all the rock and soil and pollutants into Fresh water reservoir and that allows them to add a spigot to the top and provide fresh drinking water To all these areas and it's unlimited fresh drinking water That can produce approximately 3, 600 gallons a day 3, 600 gallons per day per spigot and can pump for 30 years plus Completely free Aside from obviously the cost of doing this which is what mr. Beeson is for philanthropic channel covered what they paid for to do That setup also provided a pressurized water source, which will allow folks to have running water and pressure to be able to wash clothes and stuff that and no longer have to go to the Rio [00:50:00] to wash clothes and bang, bang the clothes up against a rock. So on and so forth. He also in one village provided the clean water for a clean water well for a hospital that was there. It's obviously very important to have clean water in a hospital, but they were also dealing with, you know, unsanitary conditions and dirty water or having to go through hell to try to get clean, clean water. And a bunch of avoidable, unnecessary obstacles. There was another village where they had to cross this very shaky, rickety bridge where people constantly you know, you know, A handful of people die every year just from trying to cross a river. On this rickety bridge, he got that bridge rebuilt to a bridge that is poised to last 100 years. In another village where he built one of these 100 water wells, he provided [00:51:00] the school with all new furniture, all new computers, a soccer ball to every single student. In another village where he built one of these water wells, he provided a bicycle to every single student. In another school, he provided projectors and bookshelves filled with new books in their classrooms. And all those, , ancillary things are all just little cherries on top. The big takeaway, obviously, is the fresh water that we all take for granted that these folks living in these villages never had access to. Now, he did get flak from And this part is just frustrating to me because I just don't get this part of human nature. If it's you wanting the credit or you being upset that someone helped more than you could have, instead of just be happy that the goal of obtaining fresh water was met. But there were certain NGOs or aka non governmental [00:52:00] organizations against Mr. Beast doing this through his philanthropic arm of his company stating things like, you know, there are organizations that exist that do this type of work. He came out of nowhere and did this and now he's getting all the credit. These things have to be built sustainably. He's doing it just for clicks and likes so on and so forth. Yeah. To that I'll say. One, 100 percent as stated by Mr. Beast himself in the video, 100 percent of the money raised from the video is going back into building more wells and two for the other major concern of sustainability. These water pumps were built and spigots to be able to run for 30 years. That's three decades. If that's not sustainable, I don't know what is.[00:53:00] Now, if any of those things turn out not to be the case, then you have somewhat of a case against Mr. Beast or, you know, his methods to doing this. But even if those things weren't the case, let's say he was doing this just for clicks, just for money to drive around in Ferraris or some shit. He still provided 100 water wells to 100 villages throughout Africa to people that otherwise did not have access to that water. Your motivations for doing that, I don't give a flying fuck about. The goal was met of providing water to people that need water to live, to survive. You know what I mean? Your personal motivations for doing so is secondary to me. The fact that he apparently has the motivations of this altruistic goal of just providing the water and a hundred percent of the funds raised from it are going to go back into the same thing. And just cutting through all the bureaucracy and bullshit is admirable to me. And the fact that they were [00:54:00] built sustainably to last 30 years. That's like above and beyond in my eyes. Just the goal of meeting the fact that these villages have sustainable water now or just water in general. Let's say it lasted six months, a year. You made everyone's life better for that period of time. Let alone the projected amount of time that and generations that this will affect if in fact it does last for 30 years. So folks stop hating on folks doing good, trying to do the right thing, just because it wasn't the way that you would go about doing it. And shout out to Mr. Beast and team for quite honestly, having the balls to try to do good and try to do better in spite of the blowback received for this video and others it. And that folks is the. Mr. Beast's installment of Goat's Doing Goat Shit. And that, folks, was episode 250 of the Spun Today podcast. [00:55:00] It's been a heck of a year. Another one in the books, the final episode of the year. I hope you guys are enjoying your holidays or about to enjoy your holidays. And wishing each and every one of you a happy and prosperous new year. Let's continue to grow and build and love in 2024 and do less of the hating and tearing down. And I say that as much to myself as I mean that for others as well. Until next time, until next year, peace.

You are the ONLY one who gets to make the decisions about your emotional home - how you are generally feeling on a daily basis. Have you ever noticed someone else's emotional home? People can be GENERALLY content or worried or consistently blaming others for their problems or overwhelmed... You know those people. How about YOU? What does your emotional home look like? Is it chaotic? Stressed? Anxious? Insecure?... Or maybe even optimistic, generous, grateful...? I have lived in an emotional home of stress, depression, anxiety that I BUILT! - but now my emotional home looks vastly differently (thank goodness). Building an INTENTIONAL emotional home is the best thing you can do to weather any emotional storm. In this episode, I show you how to build an emotional home of stability, strength, love... I'll see you there! Xo, Janeen For show notes: www.janeenalley.com/76

Let’s talk about HOW to judge if you're own MLM position is performing how it should...   First of all, I'm not talking about rating the company that you've chosen to be a distributor for.   What I'm saying is...   How do you rate your MLM position?   I want to teach you a really cool model that you can use to see how you're doing in business.   One of the biggest questions I get is, “Stephen, I've built this thing and I don't know what to focus on next”.   In order to know what you need to do, you need to know where you currently are. This is a rating system that is used in real businesses.   Major businesses Multi-million dollar companies   I'm gonna teach you how to do it for your specific MLM position inside of your company.   RATE YOUR CURRENT MLM POSITION   This will help you go in and say, “Okay, here's my current place and where I am” and it'll be very obvious to you where you're weak.   I'm gonna teach you how to go through and rate your current MLM position.   This will help you create a roadmap.   I recommend that you take out a piece of paper.   This is literally how I go through and do this with my own business on a routine basis. And I know it's one of the reasons why we have such focused action inside of my company.   Because I take a moment to figure out where we are and where we're trying to go in relation to those two things.   It's very easy for me to see where we're weak. I sell my strengths, but I still need to go in and fix the weak spots, as far as the systems go and I'm gonna explain that to you moving forward.   One of the biggest things I run into inside of MLM is that people don't treat it like a business, and I know I've said that on this show.   “But Stephen, how do I treat it like a business?”   You need to know why it hasn't felt like a business and why you have not been treating it like one.   This episode will teach you the systems needed so you can treat it like a business, so that you're not the business. So that you're not treating like a hobby and so that you have something that's measurable.   You need to know if your business is actually growing and THIS will teach you that framework.   WHAT IS A BUSINESS?   When I was in college they would ask questions like, “What is a business?”.   We had to write a paper about what a business is…   At the beginning of my entrepreneurship classes there were some specific books that I was told to read.   I'd read the book and the first half of the book was great but the second half of the book was really awkward.   The reason it was so awkward is because they would say things like...   “The business has a soul” “The business wants to expand” “It's ready to grow and it's ready to breathe”   … and it got fluffy.   And I gotta tell you guys… I'm not into that type of business belief AT ALL.   I don't believe in business WOO WOO.   What I practice is measurable activities that will guide me to success.   I don't care about ART.   I'm not saying ART ART…   I love art but art by definition is sometimes hard to define…   And because it's not to define-able, it's hard to design ahead of times. There's things in this life that you have to design. There's things you have to discover.   I want to know, in business, what I can design ahead of time.   I want to know that when I do A + B I get C   This is how I KNOW what to do next in my business. It is a way to rate how you're doing in whatever business you're in.   I'm not trying to say how to rate your MLM business as a whole. What I'm saying is how to rate your performance in your MLM position in your business.   How do I rate it and how do I know what to do next?   WHAT TO DO NEXT IN YOUR BUSINESS   THIS IS POWERFUL STUFF.   This is this is one of the coolest ways to know what to do next.   I had to do redesign what a business was in my head.   You might know this story... But one of the first funnels that I ever built was for a company that wasn't an MLM but they had a two tiered affiliate system. Sometimes they were mistaken for an MLM.   It was the first major success I ever had on my own while I was still in college. And it was for this water company. They're selling water machines and wateriners, water ionizers, Kangen Water, stuff like that.   I did all this marketing research and I did a bunch of Ask campaigns. And I found a whole bunch of people who had a lot of questions. They wanted MORE from the company.   Since they already had an existing customer base, I dropped a question out to their people. “What are you still struggling with?” and I got 157 responses.   What happened next was shocking. I spent the next week reading those. It took me three different tries to get through them because they were so intense.   The topic was intense as I asked people, “What are you guys struggling with your health? We're trying how to figure out how we can serve you guys better”.   People were saying things like, “Hey, I'm sitting here next to my spouse who's supposed to die any day. We're in the hospital and I'm responding to this. I really wish that I knew about your stuff sooner”.   I was like, “Oh, I thought we were marketing hard enough”, and I it got so heavy because some of these people were telling their life story... Which is kind of what you want in an Ask campaign.   MLM BUSINESS MARKETING   But the topic was so heavy for me and I remember sitting back and just thinking, “Oh my gosh this is intense”.   And I come back the next day and someone would be like, “Hey, I'm sitting here and I just was diagnosed with cancer. Why did you not tell us about this sooner?”   Again, I was like, “We're not marketing hard enough!”   So I went back and we started looking at the products that we're being sold in this company. I launched a funnel and designed it all out and it was a big success.   They made great money from it and it was the first big huge win that I had for a client and something interesting happened though...   This has happened THREE times now…   DAY 1: The launch happens and everyone's like, “Oh my gosh, this is so freaking cool. This is so awesome. Steven this is so much money. I can't believe how much money this is. This is amazing!”   I'd be like, “Yeah what's up?”, I'm on the phone with the CEO, “What's up? Oh, I told you it would work” and it was really validating for me at the time.   DAY 2: They called me and said, “Wow, this is a lot of sales… Oh my gosh” and I'd be like, “Yeah, what's up? I told you it's gonna be super cool! It's gonna elevate everything.”   DAY 3: They called and they'd be like, “Turn it off! Turn it off! Turn the funnel off!” and I'd be like, “Who wants less sales?” and I'd hang up.   THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FUNNEL AND A BUSINESS   And I remember the first time that happened with that first water company. I was like, “You psycho, who wants less sales? You're crazy, you're insane. Who wants less sales?”   About two weeks later I just stopped answering my phone altogether. He would call in a desperate frenzy and he goes, “Stephen, turn it off!” and I was fed up.   I go, “Dude, why would you want less sales? I don't know anyone else on this planet who wants less sales.”   He goes, “Stephen, you are going to bankrupt us.”   I said, “That doesn't even make any sense. I don't get it. That doesn't make any sense. You're making more money”   And he goes, “No dude, you don't get it. You're selling so fast that you're sucking all the cash out of the business just to fulfill in the product. I can't pay my people. We have a serious cashflow issue going on. You're selling too quickly. TURN IT OFF!”   I was like, “OH MY GOSH!”   Iit was the first time in my entire life that I ever realized that there is a massive difference between a FUNNEL and a BUSINESS.   HUGE DIFFERENCE!   “Stephen, how does this relate to MLM?”   That’s a MASSIVE reason why most people don't have success in MLM. They go out and they don't realize that there's two different parts of this.   YOU DON’T OWN ANYTHING IN YOUR MLM POSITION   You're gonna go ahead and design the business that you own... And we've gone over this in the past.   You don't own anything in MLM.   The products The position you're in Those that you're getting inside your downline   I'm not saying this to freak you out... It's the truth.   At any moment, stuff can change... So what do you have control over?   You have control over a few things:   The WAY that you approach people The audience that you approach The training you give your downline   This is a lot of what Secret MLM Hacks is about. It's about how to create a message that you can go and approach the market with your dream person.   Inside of the message that you approach them with is that unique offer. That unique recruiting offer, that you developed… A self-liquidating offer.   The third thing you can control inside of your downline is the TRAINING you give them after they join you.   I didn't get a lot of training in the first time MLM I joined. You have probably been in one like that and it's frustrating.   They're like, “Just go talk to your friends and family”, I'm like, “Alright, if that's what you're supposed to do…”   The reason I'm going over this is because, first of all, you control these three things. But on top of that, I want to give you a way to rate where you are.   UNDERSTANDING YOUR CURRENT MLM POSITION   It's very hard for Google Maps to tell you where to go when they don't know where you're starting.   This is to help you understand where you currently are and the MLM position that you're in   The first time I ever saw this, someone was teaching me how to rate my own business.   This doesn't come from me. It comes from some specific people mixed with a lot of different books... A lot of time and experience for sure.   A great book that'll walk through some of these concepts is it book called Clockwork.   Anyway, here's how to rate the business.   The reason I told that story as well is because a lot of people get obsessed with the funnel. The purpose of the funnel is very finite and a funnel is not the same thing as a business.   A funnel is not the same thing as a business.     A FUNNEL generates the revenue.   The BUSINESS fulfills on the revenue.   Let's define what a business is.   A BUSINESS is a series of systems that generate a lead, then convert that lead, then deliver what the lead was sold.   There's a lot of consensus that THIS is what a business systems are.   After this, there's a lot of varying opinions. For me I look to see how well I UPSELL them after this.   Second money is ALWAYS easier than first money... Which is one of the reasons why you create a self-liquidating offer in your MLM.   Once you've created that, it's very easy for them to go and buy from you and your downline, whatever you're selling. Your product, your opportunity. Because you've already warmed the mind with a first sale.   MAJOR FUNCTIONS OF A BUSINESS   What is a funnel responsible for? Technically you can have a funnel that generates a lead, converts that lead, delivers what they bought and upsells them. That's why a funnel is so powerful.   If you design it the right way, a funnel can perform some of the major functions of a business.   I like to look at these as independent systems because technically a funnel can fit inside all those.     I'm gonna design the funnel into ONE specific function of business.   HOW TO RATE YOUR MLM POSITION   How well do you generate a lead?   If you're scoring yourself on your ability to generate a lead as a 3, you have more leads coming in than you can handle. If you score yourself as a 1, you're not getting enough leads to fuel the other functions.   These all feed into each other.   Lead → Convert → Deliver → Upsell   This is not stuff that an upline teaches you. What you're taught inside of an MLM is to be the lead gen for your upline.   Which means go get my friends and family. I am their system for leadgen. That's why that's taught.   I am my upline's system around lead creation   They convert them. The company delivers and upsells all for me. It's literally out of my control after the lead.   There's two things I can do with this…   #1: Create a self-liquidating offer then I gain control back on ALL of these functions. I create my own offer in front, which Secret MLM Hacks really is for me.   I don't pitch you guys on my MLM or my down line. Most of you don't even know what I'm in.   It allows me to gain control back on gaining leads, converting leads, getting cash in hand that gets me more leads. All this money dumps back into ads and then I deliver what I said I would deliver. Then I upsell later on.   That's exactly what I've created here, and what I'm teaching you to create. You don't have to make something to the magnitude of Secret MLM Hacks.   YOUR MLM POSITION AND SECRET MLM HACKS   A major purpose of this course is to teach the market, that we're using very old systems. This puts POWER back in the hands of the MLMer.   When you learn to create something in the front, it lets you gain control over it.   You're not usually given that much control over converting. Definitely not on product because it's not your product.   YOU DON’T OWN ANY OF IT.   To get power back into your hands, what you do is create an SLO, which is what Secret MLM Hacks  teaches you how to do.   There's multiple ways to pull that off.   I want you to RANK where you currently are. What this becomes is a MAP.   You have to decide whether to rank yourself in terms of your ability, in terms of your MLM position. How well do you generate a lead?   We’re talking about BUSINESS. Business systems, business structure that frees YOU from being THE business.   If you handle every...   Support ticket differently Lead different and there is no system Conversation when someone is interested in your downline   … YOU’RE THE BUSINESS   I'm recruiting a lot of people DAILY and I'm not talking to any of them.   The knee-jerk reaction people have had when I say that is. “Well Steven, you just took the human element out of this game”.   No I didn't. I have a system that…   Generates leads Converts them Delivers what they bought from me (including MLM training which is what hackMLM.com is for my team). Upsells people to gain back cash and cash flow hard   ...All I did was create systems around it.   RANK YOUR MLM POSITION   I didn’t take the human element out of it... I just treat it like an actual company instead of a freaking hobby.   In terms of my MLM position, let's also rank it on the SLO that you've created. This is why we're doing what we are here, this is why it's so powerful.   There's only so many things you control in your MLM position. What I do have control over is getting more leads than I can handle.   That's good, that's awesome, that's a sign of massive strength.   I don't really have control over the MLM position delivery itself. I don't control the fulfillment that my MLM has.   I want you to rank where you currently are in terms of the self-liquidating offer that fuels this but then also where you are in terms of the position your MLM has handed you.   On a scale of 1 - 3 (3 being AMAZING!) rate the following:   MLM POSITION   LEAD: CONVERT:DELIVER: UPSELL:   For me personally I'm gonna rank LEAD a three because we got a butt ton of leads.   We're about to pass 1,400 people asking to join my personal down line, not including all the people who joined my MLM and get the same systems and all the people asking to join theirs.   IT’S INSANE!   WHAT TO DO NEXT WITH A LEAD   As far as converting them, I'm gonna rank myself a two. We give them personal phone calls. I have people in my downline who I've deemed as being good phone closers and people who can answer questions about the MLM.   They give personal phone calls to those who asks to be in our downline. I think it could be better. We're still trying to figure out a few gravy train changes that we could switch and I think we know what it is. Delivery... I don't really have control over that because my MLM does that. They’re the ones packaging up our product and shipping it out to them and giving them more training. I'm gonna put an X here.   What's interesting is, I created an entire program to train them on how to be successful. There is a training on our back-office for just our team. Here's a training on some cool lead strategies for just our team.   No one else gets it. That adds value for when they join me. Do the same thing in yours. I'm NOT pitching you, I'm telling you to do the same thing in yours.   As far as upselling goes, there's not a ton that I have in place for upselling. Although some of it is in Hack MLM.   I don’t have control over the THING itself… Delivery, fulfillment, I don't have control over that.   What I do have is this program that will teach them about it and in doing so, they have more success with it.   Hack MLM is both delivery and upsell.   RANK YOUR MLM POSITION - WHAT TO DO NEXT?   In terms of how I'm doing in my MLM position, I've rated myself pretty high. THIS is how I RANK it but then what do I do with it after I rank it?   That's where I'm really taking us ;)   Now let's think in terms of your self-liquidating offer. Let's say you're, gonna go create a product.   Say you’re selling a protein supplement...   You're like, “Stephen, I really want my downline to be filled with people who are very scientific in terms of their understanding about the supplement. They understand protein synthesis, they know what's going on a molecular level.”   “Stephen, I'm a nerd. I love our supplement to a huge scientific molecular level. I want my downline to be full of those people.”   Great! So then what kind of product would attract a whole bunch of people, who are scientific about your thing? A product that's scientific about the thing!   You just create the same SLO as the type of person you're attracting.   The reason I created Secret MLM Hacks with a lot of awesome funnels in there is because I targeted it at the funnel community. They see that as extremely valuable.   I'll charge $50,000 to $100,000 to build one funnel for somebody and you get eight. It's pretty awesome.   RANK YOUR BUSINESS SLO   That's who I'm targeting therefore that's how I designed this self liquidating offer.   I'm gonna rank mine.   YOUR SLO:   LEAD: CONVERT:DELIVER: UPSELL:   Our self-liquidating offer gets a lot of leads but I'm not gonna give it a three. I do think there's a few things we could do to make it even better. There's a book that we're writing.   I own bigMLMsummit.com. That's a cool way I know I want to create more leads.   As far as converting them, we actually have a pretty good conversion rate but there's a lot that I want to go update in the webinar. More things that I want to give to HELP you guys. Emphasis on help. I don't want to give more for the sake of giving more.   I think the last thing anyone needs is another video course.   There's a few ideas I have that could improve Secret MLM Hacks. I'm gonna give that a two because we still convert. We still deliver really well.   Upsell? There's no upsell. I'm gonna say one because there's not really an upsell to Secret MLM Hacks.   The only upsell from here in the value ladder is if you want to join my downline.   People reach out and they ask and we tell them where to go, we give them a phone call.   RANK YOUR SLO - WHAT TO DO NEXT?   What I do then is THIS:     I look to see what I'm ranking the lowest on, and that becomes the focus for my next month or two.   The next logical thing for me to do would be to create something specifically to upsell my existing buyers, because there really isn't one.   Then after that I would choose the next lowest one. This becomes my to-do list. The number ones literally become the first thing I do. Number twos are the next thing I do. Number three is the next thing you do.   Then I just go back and re-rank it. I'm making sure to develop a system that gets leads. That’s why I tell you to publish so much. It's the easiest thing to do, to get a bunch of really warm and hot leads AND it converts them for you.   You can suck at sales messages and just be podcasting your journey in MLM and what you're learning and you will attract true believers into your life.   They'll just buy from you, because they've been listening to you. Because they love you and they love your stories.   Delivering. If you're doing info products, it's as simple as a freaking email with login access.   We ship you out cool boxes and packages and stuff like that but anyway…   Upsell. I don't really have an upsell. I SHOULD have an upsell and this tells me I should probably go make one.   WHAT DO YOU CONTROL IN YOUR MLM POSITION?   That's just the stuff that I control in my MLM position. I don't control that much. There's tons of rules, there's lots of red tape in MLM which is understandable.   You know where you're trying to go. You're trying to get to a spot where you have a well-oiled machine like we've built.   I have leads and they convert pretty much on their own because of the systems I've built They get delivered on by the MLM They’re up sold by the MLM   I can facilitate that better by creating a program that trains them on the MLM, which is what I did with hackMLM.com.   Focus on the next major to do list in terms of your MLM position. In order to fuel THIS, you need to start looking at THIS side. What can I go create? What is the status of where things are currently?   I'll do this periodically for anything that I sell.   I ask myself, am I building a business?   I challenge you to:   NOT launch funnels   Launch businesses   A funnel is just an arm for these things. What are the system that you have created? Do you have a system?   If there's no established way, I become the system.   I'm NOT the system, I am NOT the funnel, I am NOT the business.   I OWN the business, I BUILT the funnel, I CREATED the system.   You gotta treat it this way or it's a hobby.   WHAT TO DO NEXT - JOIN SECRET MLM HACKS   I know it's tough to find people to pitch after your warm market dries up, right?   That moment when you finally run out of family and friends to pitch. I don't see many up lines teaching legitimate lead strategies today.   After years of being a lead funnel builder online I got sick of the garbage strategies most MLMs have been teaching their recruits for decades.   Whether you simply want more leads to pitch or an automated MLM funnel, head over to secretmlmhacks.com and join the next FREE training.   There you're gonna learn the hidden revenue model that only the top MLMers have been using to get paid regardless if you join them.   Learn the 3-step system I use to auto recruit my downline of big producers WITHOUT friends or family even knowing that I'm in MLM.   If you want to do the same for yourself, head over to secretmlmhacks.com.   Again that’s secretmlmhacks.com.

Rob Brens is what I would like to call a real hot commodity. Like many of us musicians trying to find and hold onto a drummer is freaking hard, so when we discover world class drummers like Rob, many of us are fighting for a piece of the action. Rob has taken full advantage of the demand by working with a wide range of artists from different genres, crafting his skills and expertise. He is continuously building his profile in Australia and now beyond as a versatile, highly experienced weapon on the skins. Most people will know Rob as the drummer in Hadal Maw and I Built the Sky, however also has a long history with bands such as Alarum, Teramaze, King Parrot, Dreadnaught, Descrator and many more. One of the coolest things about this podcast is the opportunity that I get to spend time and surround myself with positively driven, highly motivated people. Many of those who have been on Andy Social to date are consistently challenging themselves and always wanting to improve. As you will hear in this episode, Rob's focus is not only to be a world class musician, but a world class human. In our chat we cover a wide range of topics from his career to date as a drummer, approaching session work and being able to work effectively on the hundreds of different songs (often quite complex) that he would now have under his belt. We also talk about physical and mental health, productivity, experiencing growth through adversity with his Jiu Jitsu and heaps more. Looking to get pumped up and inspired? Look no further. I think we all need a Rob Brens in our life who sets the standard that we can all strive toward. I hope you get as much from this as I did.
