This edition of The Big Experiment is a little bit different to the usual format.I'm on the road visiting the famous University of Cambridge Judge Business School to talk to people at the Ignite program. It's an intensive weeklong boot camp for early-stage founders, generally in tech and sometimes in biotech, but can be all sorts of different tech themes.Ignite is about business and risk, which are the core themes of the podcast. But it's a slightly different flavour to usual. Science is all about predicting the future. As a scientist, you already know something, but usually not everything about your area of study. And from that fuzzy picture, you try to predict what else might be true. Well, this hunch or hypothesis drives your next experiments. If you fail, you adjust your prediction and you test again. Entrepreneurs take the same leap. In this episode I interview volunteers, delegates and course leaders to find out more about how the Ignite program supports early-stage founders in science and in business.“Ignite gives entrepreneurs a safe but challenging space to develop their ideas.” – Anne DavidsonYou'll hear about:01:33 Science, business, and risk03:00 Early-stage founders and their ideas at Ignite06:10 Intrapreneurship: Supporting entrepreneurial initiatives09:46 Delegates' impressions and takeaways from the Ignite program15:24 Pitching competition and the value of Ignite19:42 Approaching innovation and sustainability23:27 The role of mentors and volunteers in supporting delegates23:56 Creating a safe and challenging space for entrepreneurs27:37 Attracting a diverse range of delegates30:36 Effective communication and customer perspective33:18 Discovering roles within a startup37:38 Networking and knowledge exchange40:54 Anyone can learn and start a business Find out more about Ignite: https://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/entrepreneurship/programmes/ignite/who-is-ignite-for/  Connect with me: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdavison100/  Grant Instruments: https://www.grantinstruments.com/  Grant Instruments on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/grant-instruments-cambridge-ltd/

“Today more than ever, climate is part of the frontier narrative when it comes to the geopolitical landscape or the financial regulatory landscape.”Gopal Erinjippurath Climate change is now a fact of life on many fronts including geopolitically and in business. As the world becomes more aware of the impact of climate change, more opportunities come up to make a difference. It is however clear, that despite there being a great deal of information out there, many business are unsure about how to interpret and use it constructively. Gopal Erinjippurath has been working with businesses to help them understand better the link between their businesses and the climate.   Gopal serves as CTO and Head of Product at Sust Global, a venture focused on geospatial analytics for climate adaptation. Most recently, he led the Analytics Engineering team at Planet Labs (NYSE:PL), an integrated aerospace and data analytics company that operates history's largest commercial fleet of earth observation satellites. Planet Analytics serves a range of customers from city planning teams in governments and the World Bank to defense and intelligence functions across the world. He is known for agile engineering execution from concept to scalable high quality products. He has been an invited speaker at global industry conferences like Google Cloud Next and leading technical conferences in the machine learning space such as ICML, CVPR and NeurIPS. Previously Gopal managed teams working on industry-leading analytics products from early concept demonstrations to multiple customers at Captricity (Acquired by NASDAQ:SSNC) and Harvesting Inc, where he advised the CEO. Previously he led the algorithm engineering development of Dolby's (NYSE: DLB) first imaging display product, the Emmy Award winning Dolby Professional Reference Monitor. Gopal holds an MS in Electrical Engineering from University of Southern California and completed the Ignite Program, connecting technologists with new commercial ventures, at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. In today's episode, Gopal about what they do as a business, and why it is important that businesses begin to seek awareness of the impact of climate change to their financial bottom line. Listen in! Media links www.sustglobal.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/gopalerinjippurath/ I categorize myself as a scientists and primarily looking at data on geospatial data which is linked to location. We are enabling businesses to understand the impact of the changing climate, to their holdings and their financial bottom line. Today more than ever, climate is part of the frontier narrative when it comes to the geopolitical landscape or the financial regulatory landscape. The access to businesses to clean valid and trusted data around the changing climate across the world has been limited. Sust Global intends to transform that and enable the ability across the economy towards using a shared set of commonly known parameters around climate data. I started my career in multimedia, and later got inspired to pursue a career on focusing environmental data. Climate is a global phenomenon and the changing climate doesn't affect just one person in a specific way, rather it affects different people in different ways. As climate becomes mainstream in the dialogue on the geopolitical as well as the regional and the Civic scales, we begin to see the desire in the public to invest in climate consciously. When businesses need to enable the climate conscious avenues, then they seek to use climate data in new and creative ways. Pragmatic solutions that brings into account the changing climate need to also account for the state of affairs today. Being able to identify the conflicting demands of the present and the future are kind of what an entrepreneur has to figure out in this fast moving ecosystem. Commercial break There's a gap between the community that understands climate, and the community that wants to use climate but doesn't understand it. We are trying to limit that gap in the venues that we serve, but it will take a while, and so the time is now for us to get more educated and aware of what climate actually is. Previously, the big migration angle was around opportunity, and geo arbitrage, but I believe climate is introducing a third dimension. When it comes to opportunity around the emergence of these capabilities, there has been an unprecedented lot of awareness around discoveries and the use of data. There is a growing awareness and people having the sense of purpose, where they start to look at what they can do with their skills to address this problem, and benefit in the process. There is also the emergence of cross functional and interdisciplinary teams, which creates some unique opportunities. One can pick up enough of the foundation knowledge, and create a shared understanding, and then work with others in different domains to create new opportunities. In this connected world where we're all working remotely, it's a great time to pick up new domains because big business opportunities exist at the intersection of domains. Inherently product development is an iterative process and being comfortable with imperfection in the early days. Work with others who are comfortable with imperfection, so that they can be encouraging and partner with you on that journey. ………………………………………………… Do you want to be a go to expert that news reporters, anchors and media producers turn to?

ADAM CARR Adam (Cohort 035) has over 12 years of service in the U.S. Army. As a Special Forces Green Beret, Adam hunted Al Qaeda operatives, developed intelligence networks, conducted diplomatic relations, and briefed Ambassadors and Generals on Geopolitical environments. In 2006, Adam earned his B.A. in Security and Intelligence from The Ohio State University. He spent the next eight years deploying to Asia, including Operation Enduring Freedom - The Philippines and Operation Enduring Freedom - Afghanistan. Adam's passion comes from a deep-rooted desire to serve others and save lives. Adam has been profoundly affected over the loss of his teammates, mentors, and close friends to suicide. He currently speaks to students, corporations, and a wide variety of audiences all over the country. He has over 20 years of leadership and managerial experience and is a Business Coach for MBA Students at The Ohio State University. Adam is a graduate of the Ignite Program at Stanford Graduate School of Business. Adam earned his MBA at The Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business and was selected as the Most Outstanding Student of his 2019 MBA Cohort. Adam lives in Dublin, OH with his wife Tarah and their three children, Noah, Jonah, and Norah. THE PROBLEM 80,000 Warriors were lost to suicide in the last decade. To put this in perspective, during 18 years of combat in Vietnam, 58,209 Warriors lost their lives. WARRIORS OF IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN: BY THE NUMBERS There are 2.6 million Warriors who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. A 2014 study of 2,150 Warriors revealed some startling statistics regarding Post Traumatic Stress that bring into question earlier estimates regarding the number of Warriors affected by their experiences in the combat zone. It is possible that as many as 75% of the respondents of this study suffer from Post Traumatic Stress. Even if not all respondents do meet the requirements for diagnosis, it is obvious that they are encountering some mental or emotional difficulties after serving in the combat zone and could benefit from opportunities to heal. Unfortunately, most of those who have sought care have not found healing. A recent study by the American Legion found that only 16% of Warriors who were treated at the VA for Post Traumatic Stress with talk-therapy and medication management reported that those methods were clearly beneficial for their health. ‣ Only 16% of Warriors report improvement after undergoing the medication management and talk therapy treatment at the VA. ‣ The VA spends roughly $8,300 per Warrior with PTS, annually. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tango-romeo/message

Becoming a licensed therapist in our healthcare system is long grueling process filled with many sacrifices, and though it's looked upon as the “ETHICAL” way to be an effective therapist, there are some MAJOR issues which make our system broken to the point that licensed therapists are disempowered and unable serve the people in our society that need support in their mental health. In this Episode, Gabby and Amber share their Journeys through the educational system with the goal of becoming “licensed therapists” only to realize that in the end, they could do so much more outside this broken system, which leaves therapists “overworked” and “underappreciated” not to mention “under paid” for that matter. They dive into the different pillars this system is built on, and why they are crumbling, and tear down the notion that “License” means “Ethics” & how systematically flawed the DSM is.

Today’s episode is very special.  According to the Department of Veteran’s Affair, 20 veterans a day commit suicide.  Mental health doesn’t just affect veterans.  It is an epidemic, and my guest today, Adam Carr, has dedicated his life to helping returning warriors find a better path.  Adam is the Executive Director of Save a Warrior.  Save A Warrior is an original, Warrior-led, well-grounded and timeless journey for active duty military, returning veterans and first responders who feel desperately alone. They say: “give us a week and you will change the way you see - and live - your life.”  As a Special Forces Green Beret, Adam hunted Al Qaeda operatives, developed intelligence networks, conducted diplomatic relations, and briefed Ambassadors and Generals on Geopolitical environments.  Through his many years of service, Adam has been profoundly affected over the loss of his teammates, mentors, and close friends to suicide. He currently speaks to students, corporations, and a wide variety of audiences all over the country. He has over 20 years of leadership and managerial experience and is a Business Coach for MBA Students at The Ohio State University. Adam is a graduate of the Ignite Program at Stanford Graduate School of Business. Adam earned his MBA at The Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business and was selected as the Most Outstanding Student of his 2019 MBA Cohort. Adam lives in Dublin, OH with his wife Tarah and their three children, Noah, Jonah, and Norah. On this episode, we dive into Adam’s story of struggle after transitioning out of the military and how he came to discover Save a Warrior.  We talk about transformative approach Adam and his team take to change the lives of warriors and first responders through their retreats and pull out some of the practical tools that all of us can use to become more resilient and healthy leaders.  We also discuss the power of vulnerability and community.  

In these uncertain times, it can be easy to think that the struggles we face come from a lack of flexibility. Maybe the truth is that we actually struggle with not being in control. I share some thoughts on this in this episode.

Some filmmakers get their starts late, and some filmmakers get their starts early. Our guests on today’s roundtable fall under the latter. Since 2015, Sundance and Adobe have held the Sundance Ignite Fellowship a year long program for 18-to-25-year-old emerging filmmakers from around the world. Their fellowship kicks off with a free trip to the Sundance Film Festival, where they are paired with a Sundance mentor and attend special Sundance Ignite events that advance their films and careers. For the rest of the year, the fellows will work with their mentors, attend select Sundance Institute programs, enjoy eligibility for internships, and receive additional creative and professional development opportunities as they develop their craft. The fellows also receive a complimentary subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud,and lets not also forget that they have a pretty sweet shot at getting their films into Sundance at some point in their burgeoning careers. Joining us today are four short filmmakers who did just that: Matthew Puccini and Tyler Rabinowitz with Lavender; Crystal Kayiza with Edgecombe; and Vasilis Kekatos with The silence of dying fish. Together with mentor Lacey Schwartz we talk about the benefits of fellowships like the Ignite Program for young filmmakers and how you can be accepted to opportunities like this yourself.

Crystal Kayiza was raised in Oklahoma and is now a Brooklyn-based documentary filmmaker. Her work focuses on pursuing more nuanced storytelling about the African diaspora. She is the recipient of a 2018 Sundance Ignite Fellowship and a 2017 Jacob Burns Film Center Woman Filmmaker Fellowship. She received a Heartland Emmy Award in 2012 for her film All That Remains, which profiles Boley, Oklahoma, one of the nation's last all-Black towns. Hosted and Edited by: Jamie Broadnax Music by: Sammus More info on the Ignite Program: https://www.sundance.org/initiatives/ignite In partnership with Adobe, the yearlong Sundance Ignite Fellowship is open to 18-to-24-year-old emerging documentary and narrative filmmakers. It kicks off with a free trip to the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, where fellows are paired with a Sundance alum mentor and attend special Ignite events. For the rest of the year, fellows work with their mentors, attend select Sundance Institute programs, enjoy eligibility for internships, and receive additional creative and professional development opportunities as they develop their craft. They also receive a complimentary Adobe Creative Cloud subscription (including Premiere Pro, their editing software and After Effects, their visual effects tool) – so, the filmmakers of tomorrow are using the tools of tomorrow (Adobe)!

What separates averages agents from mega agents? It's all about the systems they have in place.Join Our Team Today I wanted to talk briefly about the difference between the average agent and a mega agent. According to NAR stats, an average agent does six to seven deals a year while a mega agent does more than 40. The difference is the systems implemented into a mega agent's business to help get them to where they are.So what are the systems? Keller Williams has systems for everything, and they can revolve around prospecting, marketing, database management, time management, and contract to close follow-up. They’re the systems that help grow your business, your net profit, and give you more time.What are the systems that you could use as an average agent to help take your business to the next level? For example, I'd recommend using a system that turns open houses into more business. When the average agent gets a new listing, they put it in the MLS after taking some pictures, sticking a sign in the yard, and maybe printing some flyers, hoping somebody comes by and makes an offer.Systems can revolve around prospecting, marketing, database management, and follow-ups. A mega agent, on the other hand, has an open house for that new listing. They’ll start prospecting by calling the neighborhood and everyone in the area asking who they know who might want to move into the neighborhood. They’ll also door knock the Saturday before the open house to invite them to the open house.Generating more interest and creating competition among buyers nets the seller more offers at a higher price with less stress.Mega agents have a system for every action they have. Currently, we’re running the Ignite Program, which is a systematized education of new agents to implement processes and technologies into their business to help them get to the next level. I’d love for you to be my guest at the event—just send me a message to learn more about it. If you'd like to learn more about any of our systems, I'd love to speak with you about some of them. Just give me a call or send me an email. I hope to hear from you soon.

Follow these 9 steps to get more attention and cash! On today's episode Russell talks about his trip to Kenya and the nightmare of getting back home and being stuck in airports for 56 hours. He also talks about a street show he witnessed in Amsterdam that was filled with golden marketing lessons. Here are some fun things to listen for in this episode: Find out how the trip to Kenya went, the purpose behind it, and how as a Clickfunnels member you are contributing to helping kids there. Hear about why it was important to get home from Kenya on time and how everything went wrong. And finally hear about a street performer that impressed Russell with his marketing skills and find out how that can help you. So listen below to find out the valuable marketing lessons Russell learned from a street performer. ---Transcript--- Good morning everybody and welcome to Marketing In Your Car. Hey guys and gals and all my friends out there. It's been a little while since we hung out and I apologize, but I've been traveling like crazy and I'm finally getting to a spot where I can report back and hang out. But if you watch my Snapchats then you've been seeing all the craziness that's been happening. So last week, it's kind of a last minute, spur of the moment, we decided to go to Kenya with World Teachers Aid and it's usually a ten day trip but I have an event starting tomorrow, therefore I could not go for ten days. So we thought well, the trips broken down in two parts. The first part you go and see the kids in the villages and you help build the school and stuff and the second half is a safari. So we decided we won't go to the safari and we'll just focus on the first half. So that's what we did, which was really cool. So that was where we've been. We weren't supposed to go. Dylan, one of the Clickfunnels co-founders was supposed to go, but he was working on the new editor and just ran out of time and didn't get his shots and stuff, so we headed in the last minute and kind of went there. So we've been doing that. On the way there we decided, hey we have a couple days at the beginning that we have some free time, so we flew to Amsterdam for two days and hung out there, which was cool. I've never been to Amsterdam before it was awesome. It's like super quiet. I was walking around the downtowns and there's no cars anywhere and mostly everyone is on bikes. I was telling Collette, “Listen. Do you know how quiet it is here?” It's just crazy quiet and it was really neat. We loved it and had a great time. I did a boat tour through all the canals and saw the Anne Frank house and a bunch of other cool things, that was awesome. We went to Kenya and had a chance to hang out with these little kids and it was just like last time 4 years ago we went. It was a very emotional, powerful experience to see these kids and the transformations. One of the cool things is that the village that we spent all of our time at 4 years ago, we had a chance to go back there and see the progress and how things have evolved. There's this little girl that we've been helping, her name is Jane. When we saw her 4 years ago, she's a little, I think she was 13 or 14 years old. We've been sponsoring her and helping her get through high school and stuff, it's just amazing to see her progress. My wife and her really connected before, so my wife is bawling her eyes out seeing her. It was really a neat experience. Then after that we went to a new village, it was the most beautiful place. Cliffs that…or this big huge…it was up on a mountain looking over this huge valley and it was beautiful, but the kids didn't have a school yet, so they just were almost finished with the school and it was amazing. Such a cool experience. One thing that you may or may not know as a Clickfunnels member, every time you build a funnel that goes live a dollar goes toward World Teacher Aid and we're always working on that, trying to help support those guys and build more schools and support more children. It's just amazing to see the transformation from 4 years ago, til this week. Which was really cool. And then we jumped in a plane to head home, so we could hurry and get home. We were supposed to get home Monday because Aiden's birthday, my little 5 and now 6 year old, his birthday was on Monday. So we had everything booked and traveled so we could get home in time for his birthday. We were supposed to get in Boise at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. So we were going to take him out to dinner and the next day take him to the water park. That was the plan, but unfortunately plans don't always go how they were supposed to. So we get into Kenya and they're like, “Oh, the dude who is supposed to be flying this plane is late.” So we were 4 hours late leaving from Kenya, which was horrible because our layover in Amsterdam was 2 hours. So we finally leave Kenya, we fly to Amsterdam. Get to Amsterdam and our plane is already gone, so they rebook us on one that's 7 hours later. So we're waiting forever and finally we get on that one and fly from Amsterdam to…..where were we going to? Oh, Minneapolis. So we get to Minneapolis, and we basically missed Monday, which was kind of sad because we were gonna miss his birthday, but we're like, “We'll still be there, but like at 2 in the morning. We'll take him to the water park on Tuesday, it'll be awesome.” So we're sitting there and then the flight course in Minneapolis gets delayed 3 hours, then 5 hours and we're sitting there waiting and waiting and finally we're about to board and they say, “Oh, by the way all the pilots have been flying too long, therefore they cannot fly, therefore this flights been canceled. Oh by the way, there's no flights out tomorrow, so you gotta wait til Wednesday to leave.” I was like, “Are you freaking kidding me? I needed to get home to my kids birthday!” And we were just missing our kids like crazy. It was kind of like Home Alone, I felt like. The mom had to race to get home to Kevin and every little thing possible, hiccup that could happen was happening. So anyway, I'm sitting there; it's like 10:30, 11:00 at night and I message Melanie, my assistant, I'm like, “All the flights tomorrow are apparently booked, we need to figure out how to get home and we need a hotel.” The other thing they said was, “All flights are canceled plus there's no flights tomorrow and there's no hotels available.” We're like, “Are you kidding me?” So Melanie went on and was able to find a flight that didn't leave until the next day at 5, which got us home at 9:40 at night on Tuesday. So we missed our water park day, and then she booked us a hotel. So we jumped in an Uber, headed to the hotel, slept, hung out all day and I got a bunch of work done towards the event, which is starting tomorrow. Then we get in our plane finally. We leave Minneapolis, fly to Denver, and we're like, “Last leg, we'll be home by 9:30.” Get in our plane to head to Denver and guess what happened? Yes, you are right. Lightning storm. Therefore our flight was delayed again. Anyway, we ended up getting home at 10:30 at night, finally. And I think it was 56 total hours that we were in airports. So that was horrible. And we missed the little man's birthday. But today, this morning we went and celebrated his birthday and got some cool stuff. Now I'm headed to the office because we have an event tomorrow and I got a lot of work to do before that. So that's kind of what's happening over. So anyway, there's the catch-up of where we've been and now we can start moving forward again and keep hanging out. So the event tomorrow, I'm excited. It's all of our Inner Circle members and our old Ignite Program. This is the last Ignite event ever, so we've got a bunch of those guys coming as well. I think we've got about 100 people coming, or so. And it went from kind of a concept to after spending 56 hours in the airport and geeking out and going through as much marketing stuff as I could consume during that time, it's gonna be an amazing event. I'm crazy excited. I hand sketched out, I think another 40 new sketches, similar to the Dotcom Secrets book, all with new concepts and I'm hoping and praying that Vlad, my designer can get them all looking good today so we can get handouts printed for tomorrow. Oh it's all running together. I don't know if we'll make it all. Anyway, worst case scenario I'll just re-sketch them live on a whiteboard for everybody. The event is going to be awesome and it's actually focusing on the new book, Expert Secrets. I'm excited for Expert Secrets, we spent about 6 months writing it and when I was in Bear Lake last month, I basically deleted the whole book and started over from scratch and the new direction that this is going, I'm really, really proud of. It's what this whole event is based on. I'm kind of teaching it out loud so I can make sure all the pieces make logical sense in my mind before we turn it into a book, which is similar to what I did with the Dotcom Secrets book. We re-wrote it 3 times and then I did a live event for 3 days and then that helped me organize the thoughts in a better way. And I'm teaching onstage and I'm like, “That was good, but that one didn't make sense and I need to tweak this.” Anyway, it was really cool. So I kind of did the same process with this one. So if you want to write a book, that's the secret, throw an event. It forces you to get everything done in time and then it lets you teach it out loud. I don't know about you but when I teach out loud, I just get different ideas and thoughts and I figure out what makes sense, what's slow and boring, what's exciting and what pieces people get and what pieces they don't. Anyway, that's what's happening. Hopefully this book will be done before the end of the year, because I'm really excited for it, it's going to be amazing. With that said, I gotta draw some value for you guys before I get to the office. So when we were in Amsterdam, the second day my wife were walking around downtown and all the sudden we get to this, I think it was a parliament or something, some big huge building. And we're like, “Wow, that building is amazing.” And all the sudden we hear, “Ahem, ahem, ahem.” Like this coughing and we look over and there's this guy with a nice shirt on and a microphone and he's coughing. He keeps coughing louder and louder and keeps doing it and all these people start coming close and I'm like, “What's happening?” and he had a unicycle on the ground, a bunch of boxes, a bunch of things. He had this flame that was there, so we kind of get closer to him. And he keeps coughing, probably for 5 minutes and we're like, “This is weird.” And we're about to leave and all the sudden he stops and says, “Everyone, I'm okay. I'm just trying to get all of your attention.” And then he said something that I thought was really cool. He said….how did he say it? He said something like, what did he say? “A show without attention is just an accident.” I might have screwed that up, but it was basically that. I thought, that's kind of powerful. How many times do we do something, but no one's paying attention, therefore it's just an accident? Didn't even happen, right? So in our business are we getting attention first? You get attention first; you get people to pay attention. So that's the first thing. As I'm watching him as he does that, get's attention and then he's like, “I'm going to start the show.” And he goes and draws this big, huge chalk square around him, a pretty big square. So all these people are out further from the square so he's like, “Okay everyone, come up to the square, this is the edge. Come in.” and he gets everyone to come closer. So he's getting everyone to move towards him. So first he gets attention, second he gets everyone to move their physical bodies towards him so they are closer. And everyone gets kind of close. Then we started watching and I was watching what he was doing and the show ended up being 45 minutes long. And when all was said and done, if you look at it, all the show was, was he juggled fire for 30 seconds. That was it, but it was 45 minutes of buildup and excitement and building rapport. So he did all sorts of things to build rapport. First he got everyone to pull in close, and he started……and at first you could tell the crowd was cold, “What's this guy doing? What's happening?” and he could of just got on his unicycle and started juggling fire and it could have been over in like a minute, but if he did that he would have missed….the whole presentation is what made this thing work. He gets everyone together and starts talking and telling jokes and starts making fun of people in the audience to get them to laugh. He starts getting everybody talking about fire and to breathe together. Breathing is one of the fastest ways to build rapport. So if you can match breathing patterns. So he's getting everyone to breathe and pretending like they're blowing fire. Get everyone to breathe the same thing which instantly builds rapport for everybody. So he's getting everybody to build rapport to just all sorts of the really smart things to build rapport with this audience. From making fun of people to making fun of himself and getting people laughing and all these things to get rapport within this group. So then he starts, he's telling jokes and everything and then he's trying to train the audience on what he needs them to do. So he gets on the unicycle and he's got basically juggling things. He gets people throwing things to him. He's training the audience on what he wants them to do and how he wants them to react. He's like, “Okay, when you throw this…” He had Collette, actually take one of these juggling batons and had her throw it to him. “Okay now, when she throws it to me, everyone cheer like crazy.” So he's training the audience on how he wants them to respond. Probably for another good 10 or 15 minutes. He's doing this whole thing, training his audience how he wants and needs them to respond. He does this whole thing and sets up this fire thing, builds up the anticipation. Now we're probably 30-35 minutes into it. And he says, “This is what's going to happen, you guys.” And then he explains, “In a minute I'm going to get on my unicycle and we're going to light fire and we're going to juggle this fire.” So it's like, okay this is what we've been building up towards and we're so excited. And then before he does he says, “Look, now what's going to happen..” and this is where he asks for money, and first thing he does is price justification, “Look, I'm a street performer and this is how I make my living. If you were to go to the bar right now and you were to buy a beer or whatever, it's going to be about 5 pounds and that's going to take maybe a minute to drink, or a minute and a half if you take your time. I've been performing for almost 45 minutes so far, and I would assume this is worth at least the same as just a quick beer in actual entertainment value. So the minimum donation accepted is 5 pounds. The maximum is 100.” So he starts going through and he does his price justification and he keeps explaining to the audience how to buy, which was so good. I wish I could have recorded this whole thing. So he teaches them how to buy, how to buy, how to buy. “When this is done,” he's coaching them through, “When this is done, I'm going to juggle my things, fires going to go. I'm juggling fire, everyone's going to go crazy. I'm going to put my hat out and everyone's going to come rush to me and give me a minimum of 5 pounds up to 35” or whatever it is. So he explains and coaches and shows them how to pay him. He's coaching them this whole time and what he wants and now he's coaching them on how to pay him at the end, which is just brilliant. Then he finally does the thing. Gets on the unicycle, juggles fire. The whole show's maybe a minute long. Boom, gets down, everyone cheers and then people start flooding him in droves to bring him money. And everyone's throwing 5 dollars in it and again he coaches. Then some people that start walking away. He's like, “What are you going to be a freebie seeker?” starts calling out people who just basically came and witnessed it and ran away. So he calls these people out, so they feel kind of dumb. Everyone else goes, “I don't want to be called out. I can't leave this because this guy just performed for me the last 45 minutes.” And they felt this obligation to pay. And initially I probably would have given him maybe 1 pound or whatever that is. I think its pounds there. Anyway, because I felt obligated at 5, I was like, “okay I gotta give 5.” So we came to give 5, we give 5. And I looked at this process, when all is said and done he probably made, a couple thousand pounds. It was impressive. And then everyone displaced and he started packing up his stuff and took off. And it was just cool. There were so many cool marketing lessons. One was getting attention. Number two was building a rapport. Number three was training your audience on what you want and need them to do. Number five was price justification. Number 6 was the actual show. Number 7 was the call to action. Get people to come back and pay. Number 8 would probably be calling out those who didn't take action. And then number 9 was wrapping up the show. Anyway, so many cool marketing lessons in one. I'm totally geeking out watching this guy. My wife's like, “This guy is annoying.” I'm like, “He's kept everyone's attention here for 45 minutes to do a 30 second to 1 minute long show and at the end he made a ton of money.” Like I said, he could have just got up there and juggled fire and would have made 50 bucks. But instead he went through the whole thing and made 5 or 6 hundred dollars. Pretty impressive. Anyway, I hope that gives you guys some value, some things you can think about with what you're doing. One of the biggest questions people have is, “I can't get people to show up to my webinar.” It's like, “What are you doing? This guy spent 45 minutes for a minute long trick. What are you doing to get people excited and fired up? What kind of video, what kind of….the more you've got to be exciting. You've got to create attention. You've got to create desire to get people to do what you want them to do. That's how you get people to show up on webinars is doing all those kind of things.” With that said, I'm at the office. Get some work done real quick. Appreciate you all, have an amazing day.

So listen below to find out the valuable marketing lessons Russell learned from a street performer. ---Transcript--- Good morning everybody and welcome to Marketing In Your Car. Hey guys and gals and all my friends out there. It’s been a little while since we hung out and I apologize, but I’ve been traveling like crazy and I’m finally getting to a spot where I can report back and hang out. But if you watch my Snapchats then you’ve been seeing all the craziness that’s been happening. So last week, it’s kind of a last minute, spur of the moment, we decided to go to Kenya with World Teachers Aid and it’s usually a ten day trip but I have an event starting tomorrow, therefore I could not go for ten days. So we thought well, the trips broken down in two parts. The first part you go and see the kids in the villages and you help build the school and stuff and the second half is a safari. So we decided we won’t go to the safari and we’ll just focus on the first half. So that’s what we did, which was really cool. So that was where we’ve been. We weren’t supposed to go. Dylan, one of the Clickfunnels co-founders was supposed to go, but he was working on the new editor and just ran out of time and didn’t get his shots and stuff, so we headed in the last minute and kind of went there. So we’ve been doing that. On the way there we decided, hey we have a couple days at the beginning that we have some free time, so we flew to Amsterdam for two days and hung out there, which was cool. I’ve never been to Amsterdam before it was awesome. It’s like super quiet. I was walking around the downtowns and there’s no cars anywhere and mostly everyone is on bikes. I was telling Collette, “Listen. Do you know how quiet it is here?” It’s just crazy quiet and it was really neat. We loved it and had a great time. I did a boat tour through all the canals and saw the Anne Frank house and a bunch of other cool things, that was awesome. We went to Kenya and had a chance to hang out with these little kids and it was just like last time 4 years ago we went. It was a very emotional, powerful experience to see these kids and the transformations. One of the cool things is that the village that we spent all of our time at 4 years ago, we had a chance to go back there and see the progress and how things have evolved. There’s this little girl that we’ve been helping, her name is Jane. When we saw her 4 years ago, she’s a little, I think she was 13 or 14 years old. We’ve been sponsoring her and helping her get through high school and stuff, it’s just amazing to see her progress. My wife and her really connected before, so my wife is bawling her eyes out seeing her. It was really a neat experience. Then after that we went to a new village, it was the most beautiful place. Cliffs that…or this big huge…it was up on a mountain looking over this huge valley and it was beautiful, but the kids didn’t have a school yet, so they just were almost finished with the school and it was amazing. Such a cool experience. One thing that you may or may not know as a Clickfunnels member, every time you build a funnel that goes live a dollar goes toward World Teacher Aid and we’re always working on that, trying to help support those guys and build more schools and support more children. It’s just amazing to see the transformation from 4 years ago, til this week. Which was really cool. And then we jumped in a plane to head home, so we could hurry and get home. We were supposed to get home Monday because Aiden’s birthday, my little 5 and now 6 year old, his birthday was on Monday. So we had everything booked and traveled so we could get home in time for his birthday. We were supposed to get in Boise at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. So we were going to take him out to dinner and the next day take him to the water park. That was the plan, but unfortunately plans don’t always go how they were supposed to. So we get into Kenya and they’re like, “Oh, the dude who is supposed to be flying this plane is late.” So we were 4 hours late leaving from Kenya, which was horrible because our layover in Amsterdam was 2 hours. So we finally leave Kenya, we fly to Amsterdam. Get to Amsterdam and our plane is already gone, so they rebook us on one that’s 7 hours later. So we’re waiting forever and finally we get on that one and fly from Amsterdam to…..where were we going to? Oh, Minneapolis. So we get to Minneapolis, and we basically missed Monday, which was kind of sad because we were gonna miss his birthday, but we’re like, “We’ll still be there, but like at 2 in the morning. We’ll take him to the water park on Tuesday, it’ll be awesome.” So we’re sitting there and then the flight course in Minneapolis gets delayed 3 hours, then 5 hours and we’re sitting there waiting and waiting and finally we’re about to board and they say, “Oh, by the way all the pilots have been flying too long, therefore they cannot fly, therefore this flights been canceled. Oh by the way, there’s no flights out tomorrow, so you gotta wait til Wednesday to leave.” I was like, “Are you freaking kidding me? I needed to get home to my kids birthday!” And we were just missing our kids like crazy. It was kind of like Home Alone, I felt like. The mom had to race to get home to Kevin and every little thing possible, hiccup that could happen was happening. So anyway, I’m sitting there; it’s like 10:30, 11:00 at night and I message Melanie, my assistant, I’m like, “All the flights tomorrow are apparently booked, we need to figure out how to get home and we need a hotel.” The other thing they said was, “All flights are canceled plus there’s no flights tomorrow and there’s no hotels available.” We’re like, “Are you kidding me?” So Melanie went on and was able to find a flight that didn’t leave until the next day at 5, which got us home at 9:40 at night on Tuesday. So we missed our water park day, and then she booked us a hotel. So we jumped in an Uber, headed to the hotel, slept, hung out all day and I got a bunch of work done towards the event, which is starting tomorrow. Then we get in our plane finally. We leave Minneapolis, fly to Denver, and we’re like, “Last leg, we’ll be home by 9:30.” Get in our plane to head to Denver and guess what happened? Yes, you are right. Lightning storm. Therefore our flight was delayed again. Anyway, we ended up getting home at 10:30 at night, finally. And I think it was 56 total hours that we were in airports. So that was horrible. And we missed the little man’s birthday. But today, this morning we went and celebrated his birthday and got some cool stuff. Now I’m headed to the office because we have an event tomorrow and I got a lot of work to do before that. So that’s kind of what’s happening over. So anyway, there’s the catch-up of where we’ve been and now we can start moving forward again and keep hanging out. So the event tomorrow, I’m excited. It’s all of our Inner Circle members and our old Ignite Program. This is the last Ignite event ever, so we’ve got a bunch of those guys coming as well. I think we’ve got about 100 people coming, or so. And it went from kind of a concept to after spending 56 hours in the airport and geeking out and going through as much marketing stuff as I could consume during that time, it’s gonna be an amazing event. I’m crazy excited. I hand sketched out, I think another 40 new sketches, similar to the Dotcom Secrets book, all with new concepts and I’m hoping and praying that Vlad, my designer can get them all looking good today so we can get handouts printed for tomorrow. Oh it’s all running together. I don’t know if we’ll make it all. Anyway, worst case scenario I’ll just re-sketch them live on a whiteboard for everybody. The event is going to be awesome and it’s actually focusing on the new book, Expert Secrets. I’m excited for Expert Secrets, we spent about 6 months writing it and when I was in Bear Lake last month, I basically deleted the whole book and started over from scratch and the new direction that this is going, I’m really, really proud of. It’s what this whole event is based on. I’m kind of teaching it out loud so I can make sure all the pieces make logical sense in my mind before we turn it into a book, which is similar to what I did with the Dotcom Secrets book. We re-wrote it 3 times and then I did a live event for 3 days and then that helped me organize the thoughts in a better way. And I’m teaching onstage and I’m like, “That was good, but that one didn’t make sense and I need to tweak this.” Anyway, it was really cool. So I kind of did the same process with this one. So if you want to write a book, that’s the secret, throw an event. It forces you to get everything done in time and then it lets you teach it out loud. I don’t know about you but when I teach out loud, I just get different ideas and thoughts and I figure out what makes sense, what’s slow and boring, what’s exciting and what pieces people get and what pieces they don’t. Anyway, that’s what’s happening. Hopefully this book will be done before the end of the year, because I’m really excited for it, it’s going to be amazing. With that said, I gotta draw some value for you guys before I get to the office. So when we were in Amsterdam, the second day my wife were walking around downtown and all the sudden we get to this, I think it was a parliament or something, some big huge building. And we’re like, “Wow, that building is amazing.” And all the sudden we hear, “Ahem, ahem, ahem.” Like this coughing and we look over and there’s this guy with a nice shirt on and a microphone and he’s coughing. He keeps coughing louder and louder and keeps doing it and all these people start coming close and I’m like, “What’s happening?” and he had a unicycle on the ground, a bunch of boxes, a bunch of things. He had this flame that was there, so we kind of get closer to him. And he keeps coughing, probably for 5 minutes and we’re like, “This is weird.” And we’re about to leave and all the sudden he stops and says, “Everyone, I’m okay. I’m just trying to get all of your attention.” And then he said something that I thought was really cool. He said….how did he say it? He said something like, what did he say? “A show without attention is just an accident.” I might have screwed that up, but it was basically that. I thought, that’s kind of powerful. How many times do we do something, but no one’s paying attention, therefore it’s just an accident? Didn’t even happen, right? So in our business are we getting attention first? You get attention first; you get people to pay attention. So that’s the first thing. As I’m watching him as he does that, get’s attention and then he’s like, “I’m going to start the show.” And he goes and draws this big, huge chalk square around him, a pretty big square. So all these people are out further from the square so he’s like, “Okay everyone, come up to the square, this is the edge. Come in.” and he gets everyone to come closer. So he’s getting everyone to move towards him. So first he gets attention, second he gets everyone to move their physical bodies towards him so they are closer. And everyone gets kind of close. Then we started watching and I was watching what he was doing and the show ended up being 45 minutes long. And when all was said and done, if you look at it, all the show was, was he juggled fire for 30 seconds. That was it, but it was 45 minutes of buildup and excitement and building rapport. So he did all sorts of things to build rapport. First he got everyone to pull in close, and he started……and at first you could tell the crowd was cold, “What’s this guy doing? What’s happening?” and he could of just got on his unicycle and started juggling fire and it could have been over in like a minute, but if he did that he would have missed….the whole presentation is what made this thing work. He gets everyone together and starts talking and telling jokes and starts making fun of people in the audience to get them to laugh. He starts getting everybody talking about fire and to breathe together. Breathing is one of the fastest ways to build rapport. So if you can match breathing patterns. So he’s getting everyone to breathe and pretending like they’re blowing fire. Get everyone to breathe the same thing which instantly builds rapport for everybody. So he’s getting everybody to build rapport to just all sorts of the really smart things to build rapport with this audience. From making fun of people to making fun of himself and getting people laughing and all these things to get rapport within this group. So then he starts, he’s telling jokes and everything and then he’s trying to train the audience on what he needs them to do. So he gets on the unicycle and he’s got basically juggling things. He gets people throwing things to him. He’s training the audience on what he wants them to do and how he wants them to react. He’s like, “Okay, when you throw this…” He had Collette, actually take one of these juggling batons and had her throw it to him. “Okay now, when she throws it to me, everyone cheer like crazy.” So he’s training the audience on how he wants them to respond. Probably for another good 10 or 15 minutes. He’s doing this whole thing, training his audience how he wants and needs them to respond. He does this whole thing and sets up this fire thing, builds up the anticipation. Now we’re probably 30-35 minutes into it. And he says, “This is what’s going to happen, you guys.” And then he explains, “In a minute I’m going to get on my unicycle and we’re going to light fire and we’re going to juggle this fire.” So it’s like, okay this is what we’ve been building up towards and we’re so excited. And then before he does he says, “Look, now what’s going to happen..” and this is where he asks for money, and first thing he does is price justification, “Look, I’m a street performer and this is how I make my living. If you were to go to the bar right now and you were to buy a beer or whatever, it’s going to be about 5 pounds and that’s going to take maybe a minute to drink, or a minute and a half if you take your time. I’ve been performing for almost 45 minutes so far, and I would assume this is worth at least the same as just a quick beer in actual entertainment value. So the minimum donation accepted is 5 pounds. The maximum is 100.” So he starts going through and he does his price justification and he keeps explaining to the audience how to buy, which was so good. I wish I could have recorded this whole thing. So he teaches them how to buy, how to buy, how to buy. “When this is done,” he’s coaching them through, “When this is done, I’m going to juggle my things, fires going to go. I’m juggling fire, everyone’s going to go crazy. I’m going to put my hat out and everyone’s going to come rush to me and give me a minimum of 5 pounds up to 35” or whatever it is. So he explains and coaches and shows them how to pay him. He’s coaching them this whole time and what he wants and now he’s coaching them on how to pay him at the end, which is just brilliant. Then he finally does the thing. Gets on the unicycle, juggles fire. The whole show’s maybe a minute long. Boom, gets down, everyone cheers and then people start flooding him in droves to bring him money. And everyone’s throwing 5 dollars in it and again he coaches. Then some people that start walking away. He’s like, “What are you going to be a freebie seeker?” starts calling out people who just basically came and witnessed it and ran away. So he calls these people out, so they feel kind of dumb. Everyone else goes, “I don’t want to be called out. I can’t leave this because this guy just performed for me the last 45 minutes.” And they felt this obligation to pay. And initially I probably would have given him maybe 1 pound or whatever that is. I think its pounds there. Anyway, because I felt obligated at 5, I was like, “okay I gotta give 5.” So we came to give 5, we give 5. And I looked at this process, when all is said and done he probably made, a couple thousand pounds. It was impressive. And then everyone displaced and he started packing up his stuff and took off. And it was just cool. There were so many cool marketing lessons. One was getting attention. Number two was building a rapport. Number three was training your audience on what you want and need them to do. Number five was price justification. Number 6 was the actual show. Number 7 was the call to action. Get people to come back and pay. Number 8 would probably be calling out those who didn’t take action. And then number 9 was wrapping up the show. Anyway, so many cool marketing lessons in one. I’m totally geeking out watching this guy. My wife’s like, “This guy is annoying.” I’m like, “He’s kept everyone’s attention here for 45 minutes to do a 30 second to 1 minute long show and at the end he made a ton of money.” Like I said, he could have just got up there and juggled fire and would have made 50 bucks. But instead he went through the whole thing and made 5 or 6 hundred dollars. Pretty impressive. Anyway, I hope that gives you guys some value, some things you can think about with what you’re doing. One of the biggest questions people have is, “I can’t get people to show up to my webinar.” It’s like, “What are you doing? This guy spent 45 minutes for a minute long trick. What are you doing to get people excited and fired up? What kind of video, what kind of….the more you’ve got to be exciting. You’ve got to create attention. You’ve got to create desire to get people to do what you want them to do. That’s how you get people to show up on webinars is doing all those kind of things.” With that said, I’m at the office. Get some work done real quick. Appreciate you all, have an amazing day.

So listen below to find out how you can be a part of Russell's Inner Circle. ---Transcript--- Hey, everybody. This is Russell Brunson, and welcome to “Marketing in Your Car.” All right, everybody. Hope you're having an amazing day today. I'm heading in to the office and we have sun shining. It's beautiful. I think it's still cold, but the sun's up, so it makes you feel like you're … Makes you feel better, so that's exciting. Anyway, I'm really excited for today. We actually started a company-wide juice fast yesterday, so one of our … We have a new person named G from over in London. When I was in London I met her, and then she joined the Inner Circle, and she's working on a juice cleanse product and a bunch of stuff like that. I was like, “Basically, we needed some results,” and she's like, “Well, I've got a lot of people I've done it for, but I don't have any videos.” I'm like, “All right. I'm going to drop everything on this side. I'm going to get my entire company to do it, and we're going to become your testimonials.” It's kind of cool. Everyone, this week, is on a week-long juice fast and documenting the process and creating cool video content for her, for her new upcoming launch, which will be fun. Just one of the fun things we do for our Inner Circle members that's cool. Anyway, day one was actually really fun. It was interesting. I do weird stuff all the time, as you guys know if you've listened to this podcast for any amount of time. I'm drinking and eating and trying all sorts of weird stuff. I actually really enjoy juicing. When I juice, typically it's hardcore. I don't put any fruits or berries or those wussy things that make them taste good. I just go straight for the hardcore. I'm using cucumber, fennel, celery, and some lime for some taste and that's what I drink. Most people think it's disgusting but I love it. It's glowing green, so you drink it … I feel like I'm drinking ooze from Ninja Turtles. I feel my whole body just, boom, exploding with alkalinity and power and energy. Yeah, it doesn't taste that good. It doesn't taste bad, and in fact I like it a lot. I've become very accustomed to that, so I like it. If I give that to the average person the first time, they'd just be like … It's like it's a kick in the face or something. Is someone honking at me? I don't even know. Anyway, that's what we're … I feel like someone's honking at me but I can't figure out who. I like pretty strange stuff. My taste buds are acquired to weirdness because of it. Most of them aren't, so we have this place called Tree City here in Boise and so I paid for a week of juicing, so they're going in and we grab … Basically they give you six bottles of juice you drink all day. There's one that's called the Vitarrific, which is pure greens and ginger and really strong, which I think is awesome, but most everyone in the office is gagging on it and trying to keep it down. It's pretty funny. Then there's a coconut one, there's one called CAB, which is carrot, apple, beet, which is really good. There's coconut, there's almond milk. Anyway, it's really, really good. Yesterday was fun. I was drinking them thinking it was like drinking candy and most of these guys are dry heaving. They're in the bathroom every five minutes. It was awesome. Anyway, I love putting my team through crazy stuff like that when I can. That's what we're doing over here. Yesterday I sent out something that got a lot more attention than I thought. A lot of you guys know for the last two or three years we've been running two coaching programs, our Ignite program and also our Inner Circle program. As they've grown way bigger than I ever had initially thought or hoped … Initially we thought we were going to get maybe fifty people in Ignite and twenty-five in Inner Circle, but it's grown to the point where we've got almost two hundred in Ignite and Inner Circle now we're about seventy, which is crazy. The other thing I'm looking at is how much time it's taking from me, and it's just been really hard as it keeps on growing. My thought was, “Do we keep growing it? Do I shift focus from other things to just keep expanding this, or do we change it and shrink it?” With ClickFunnels growing as amazingly as it has, it doesn't make sense for me to keep adding more things on that side. We actually, yesterday, announced that we're shutting down our Ignite program. Everyone who's in, we're going to continue to fulfill over the next twelve months of their contract. We're just not allowing anybody new into the Ignite program. That's happened on that side, which means those hundred and eighty people, there's nowhere else for them to go now. On the Inner Circle side, again, we're at seventy-something people. I thought, “You know what? I think realistically I could run three groups.” I really enjoy running those groups. It's the coolest entrepreneurs. People get such big results. Everyone who's in those groups are doers who are having success. We basically got two and almost two and a half groups filled up. I sent an e-mail yesterday saying when the third group's filled, it's done. I'm locking the doors, and the only way we'll ever let people into the Inner Circle again is if someone drops out. As you guys probably know, it's not a cheap program. It's twenty-five grand a year. What's cool is that most of our people, after the year's up, have been re-signing up, which just makes me feel awesome, obviously. I've been trying my best to serve everyone at the best level I can and it just means a lot to me when people do come back. That's what's been happening. Yesterday I sent an e-mail saying I think it's seventy-four are filled, so that means there's twenty-six spots left. Within an hour we had over a hundred applications, which was awesome. Randy and Derek on my side are going like crazy today, trying to get back to everyone and get in touch with them. I'm pretty sure those spots are going to sell out really, really quick. If you're listening to this, listening today and you're interested, this is the last shot. Every year I join a Mastermind group. You need to be in one. Ideally you should be in mine if you can. I hate to be … Obviously I'm biased, but I've been in probably eight or nine different groups and ours is by far the best, for a couple reasons. First off, the facilitator's pretty sweet. I know him, he's a good guy. Second off, just the quality people we have has been amazing. It's such a huge honor for me that that is the group we've put together. It gives you guys, if you're in there, the ability to be surrounded with just amazing, amazing people. Other masterminds that I've been in, usually I come in and I'm the smartest dude in the room, which I hate that, because it's just … I feel like I'm the one facilitating the whole time, where this time, in our groups, I honestly feel … There's times I sit back and I'm like, “I can't believe I'm getting paid to be part of this, just to be in this room. I'm learning so much from everybody else.” It's just a huge honor for me. If you're going to be in one … Again, everyone should be in at least one a year, otherwise you're crazy. If you want to be in ours, now's the time to get in there. All you have to do is go to RussellBrunson.com. Yep, I changed it over to RussellBrunson.com, so that when people ask … I was always telling them this long URL before. Now, if you're interested, go to RussellBrunson.com and you can apply there. I would apply in … There's a phone number on the thank you page. If you're serious, call that number, because they got insane amounts of apps. If you're listening to this six months or a year down the road, I would still go through the process, even if we're sold out. I might guess that each month, one or two spots will open up for people who have … Their year's up and for whatever reason they don't renew. The only way to get in is to be on that waiting list. That'd be the other thing, if you're later on down the road. That's what's happening. It's interesting. I look at my business, my life. I really… The only thing that I want to be doing is obviously ClickFunnels, I want to focus eighty percent of my time there. I want to work really close with a hundred entrepreneurs, which is the Inner Circle. Then I want to be working on my own little things. That's what I'm doing now and it's pretty exciting. Anyway, I'm definitely, definitely excited for it. I'm excited to meet the last twenty-six people who enter into the Inner Circle. Our first meeting's coming up in January and it'll just be fun to get to know a new group of people. Yeah, so I'm excited. We have a couple other really cool announcements coming up. I can tell you guys because it's official now. I can't remember if I told you guys yet or not, but we've got the signed contract, we've paid the down payment. For Funnel Hacking LIVE Event, Marcus Lemonis from “The Profit” is coming to speak, which is so exciting. That's pretty cool. We'll have more info on that hopefully next week or so. That's just something I'm fired up about, as you can tell. Yeah, it's pretty exciting. With that said, I don't have too much more for you guys. I just wanted to let you know that that's what's happening with my coaching stuff. People were freaking out, like, “Are you really retiring?” I'm like, “Well, kind of. Not retiring, but retiring from Ignite program, and Inner Circle we're just locking it down. A hundred people will be in at a time, and that's it.” One of the other Masterminds I joined was supposed to be a small group, and it ended up getting a hundred people. Instead of breaking it up and doing the actual work, they just bundled everyone into one big group. I was at a Mastermind meeting with a hundred people, and I'm like, “You can't, in two days, effectively work a hundred people in a group.” Our sweet spot's about thirty-five people, so that's basically how we have it broken up. There's three different groups. We meet thirty-five at a time, and we can actually get some work done and do some cool things in that kind of a format. That's how we run ours. What else, what else? I think that's it, you guys. I'm almost at the office. If you haven't applied yet, go apply. RussellBrunson.com. If you're already in the Inner Circle, then you're in. Congratulations. You've locked it in. Don't let your spot slip away to somebody else. Anyway, that's about it for today, you guys. Have an amazing day. I'm excited to go try to take over the world in my little way. Hopefully you're doing the same thing as well, and we will talk again soon. Bye.

It looks like my email yesterday struck a chord with a few of you… On this episode Russell talks about his juicing diet that he and his team are doing for one of his Inner Circle members. He also talks about why he has decided to shut down his Ignite Program. Here are a few things to listen for in today’s episode: Russell explains why he is shutting down his Ignite program. Why he is only focusing on his Inner Circle program and how many people he is letting join. And how you can sign up to be a part of the Inner Circle and why you should. So listen below to find out how you can be a part of Russell’s Inner Circle. ---Transcript--- Hey, everybody. This is Russell Brunson, and welcome to “Marketing in Your Car.” All right, everybody. Hope you’re having an amazing day today. I’m heading in to the office and we have sun shining. It’s beautiful. I think it’s still cold, but the sun’s up, so it makes you feel like you’re … Makes you feel better, so that’s exciting. Anyway, I’m really excited for today. We actually started a company-wide juice fast yesterday, so one of our … We have a new person named G from over in London. When I was in London I met her, and then she joined the Inner Circle, and she’s working on a juice cleanse product and a bunch of stuff like that. I was like, “Basically, we needed some results,” and she’s like, “Well, I’ve got a lot of people I’ve done it for, but I don’t have any videos.” I’m like, “All right. I’m going to drop everything on this side. I’m going to get my entire company to do it, and we’re going to become your testimonials.” It’s kind of cool. Everyone, this week, is on a week-long juice fast and documenting the process and creating cool video content for her, for her new upcoming launch, which will be fun. Just one of the fun things we do for our Inner Circle members that’s cool. Anyway, day one was actually really fun. It was interesting. I do weird stuff all the time, as you guys know if you’ve listened to this podcast for any amount of time. I’m drinking and eating and trying all sorts of weird stuff. I actually really enjoy juicing. When I juice, typically it’s hardcore. I don’t put any fruits or berries or those wussy things that make them taste good. I just go straight for the hardcore. I’m using cucumber, fennel, celery, and some lime for some taste and that’s what I drink. Most people think it’s disgusting but I love it. It’s glowing green, so you drink it … I feel like I’m drinking ooze from Ninja Turtles. I feel my whole body just, boom, exploding with alkalinity and power and energy. Yeah, it doesn’t taste that good. It doesn’t taste bad, and in fact I like it a lot. I’ve become very accustomed to that, so I like it. If I give that to the average person the first time, they’d just be like … It’s like it’s a kick in the face or something. Is someone honking at me? I don’t even know. Anyway, that’s what we’re … I feel like someone’s honking at me but I can’t figure out who. I like pretty strange stuff. My taste buds are acquired to weirdness because of it. Most of them aren’t, so we have this place called Tree City here in Boise and so I paid for a week of juicing, so they’re going in and we grab … Basically they give you six bottles of juice you drink all day. There’s one that’s called the Vitarrific, which is pure greens and ginger and really strong, which I think is awesome, but most everyone in the office is gagging on it and trying to keep it down. It’s pretty funny. Then there’s a coconut one, there’s one called CAB, which is carrot, apple, beet, which is really good. There’s coconut, there’s almond milk. Anyway, it’s really, really good. Yesterday was fun. I was drinking them thinking it was like drinking candy and most of these guys are dry heaving. They’re in the bathroom every five minutes. It was awesome. Anyway, I love putting my team through crazy stuff like that when I can. That’s what we’re doing over here. Yesterday I sent out something that got a lot more attention than I thought. A lot of you guys know for the last two or three years we’ve been running two coaching programs, our Ignite program and also our Inner Circle program. As they’ve grown way bigger than I ever had initially thought or hoped … Initially we thought we were going to get maybe fifty people in Ignite and twenty-five in Inner Circle, but it’s grown to the point where we’ve got almost two hundred in Ignite and Inner Circle now we’re about seventy, which is crazy. The other thing I’m looking at is how much time it’s taking from me, and it’s just been really hard as it keeps on growing. My thought was, “Do we keep growing it? Do I shift focus from other things to just keep expanding this, or do we change it and shrink it?” With ClickFunnels growing as amazingly as it has, it doesn’t make sense for me to keep adding more things on that side. We actually, yesterday, announced that we’re shutting down our Ignite program. Everyone who’s in, we’re going to continue to fulfill over the next twelve months of their contract. We’re just not allowing anybody new into the Ignite program. That’s happened on that side, which means those hundred and eighty people, there’s nowhere else for them to go now. On the Inner Circle side, again, we’re at seventy-something people. I thought, “You know what? I think realistically I could run three groups.” I really enjoy running those groups. It’s the coolest entrepreneurs. People get such big results. Everyone who’s in those groups are doers who are having success. We basically got two and almost two and a half groups filled up. I sent an e-mail yesterday saying when the third group’s filled, it’s done. I’m locking the doors, and the only way we’ll ever let people into the Inner Circle again is if someone drops out. As you guys probably know, it’s not a cheap program. It’s twenty-five grand a year. What’s cool is that most of our people, after the year’s up, have been re-signing up, which just makes me feel awesome, obviously. I’ve been trying my best to serve everyone at the best level I can and it just means a lot to me when people do come back. That’s what’s been happening. Yesterday I sent an e-mail saying I think it’s seventy-four are filled, so that means there’s twenty-six spots left. Within an hour we had over a hundred applications, which was awesome. Randy and Derek on my side are going like crazy today, trying to get back to everyone and get in touch with them. I’m pretty sure those spots are going to sell out really, really quick. If you’re listening to this, listening today and you’re interested, this is the last shot. Every year I join a Mastermind group. You need to be in one. Ideally you should be in mine if you can. I hate to be … Obviously I’m biased, but I’ve been in probably eight or nine different groups and ours is by far the best, for a couple reasons. First off, the facilitator’s pretty sweet. I know him, he’s a good guy. Second off, just the quality people we have has been amazing. It’s such a huge honor for me that that is the group we’ve put together. It gives you guys, if you’re in there, the ability to be surrounded with just amazing, amazing people. Other masterminds that I’ve been in, usually I come in and I’m the smartest dude in the room, which I hate that, because it’s just … I feel like I’m the one facilitating the whole time, where this time, in our groups, I honestly feel … There’s times I sit back and I’m like, “I can’t believe I’m getting paid to be part of this, just to be in this room. I’m learning so much from everybody else.” It’s just a huge honor for me. If you’re going to be in one … Again, everyone should be in at least one a year, otherwise you’re crazy. If you want to be in ours, now’s the time to get in there. All you have to do is go to RussellBrunson.com. Yep, I changed it over to RussellBrunson.com, so that when people ask … I was always telling them this long URL before. Now, if you’re interested, go to RussellBrunson.com and you can apply there. I would apply in … There’s a phone number on the thank you page. If you’re serious, call that number, because they got insane amounts of apps. If you’re listening to this six months or a year down the road, I would still go through the process, even if we’re sold out. I might guess that each month, one or two spots will open up for people who have … Their year’s up and for whatever reason they don’t renew. The only way to get in is to be on that waiting list. That’d be the other thing, if you’re later on down the road. That’s what’s happening. It’s interesting. I look at my business, my life. I really… The only thing that I want to be doing is obviously ClickFunnels, I want to focus eighty percent of my time there. I want to work really close with a hundred entrepreneurs, which is the Inner Circle. Then I want to be working on my own little things. That’s what I’m doing now and it’s pretty exciting. Anyway, I’m definitely, definitely excited for it. I’m excited to meet the last twenty-six people who enter into the Inner Circle. Our first meeting’s coming up in January and it’ll just be fun to get to know a new group of people. Yeah, so I’m excited. We have a couple other really cool announcements coming up. I can tell you guys because it’s official now. I can’t remember if I told you guys yet or not, but we’ve got the signed contract, we’ve paid the down payment. For Funnel Hacking LIVE Event, Marcus Lemonis from “The Profit” is coming to speak, which is so exciting. That’s pretty cool. We’ll have more info on that hopefully next week or so.
