Podcasts about Itzler

In this episode, Matt and Jen discuss overcoming fears and starting new ventures. They share their experiences and the story of Jesse Itzler, who founded Marquis Jet with no aviation experience. Itzler's success stemmed from seeing opportunities and breaking tasks into manageable steps, despite initial obstacles like needing FAA approval and raising $5 million. They emphasize visualizing goals and focusing on opportunities rather than fears. They also encourage you to take the first step and maintain consistency, believing that fortune favors the bold. Listen In!Thank you for listening to this episode of Ignite Your Impact!As referenced in the show you can visit our website at phenixmethod.comJoin our Private Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/phenixmethodbodyandlifestyletransformations for lifestyle transformation hacks that the pros use.OR if you are ready to go all in on yourself catch us on Instagram at @Jenrhodesofficial or @mattrhodes355

Subscribe to the PPM Patreon to access the entirety of Dossiers #4.A, #4.B, & #5. I would not be able to sustain this project without your support. Thank you so very much. patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping This installment especially revolves around Chuck D's recent appointment as Global Music Ambassador, the headlining act in a Jazz Ambassadors rebrand that has been jointly organized by Anthony Blinken's (a genocidaire directly connected to Ghislaine Maxwell via his stepdad Samuel Pisar who repped Robert Maxwell) State Department & Zion·ist Lyor Cohen's Youtube... The second major aspect of this "Dossier" would be our cracking open of the Diddler's leaked party album, which takes us down some dark alleys indeed. Providing further Zion·ist links via his attendance at Guy Oseary's Jews Who Rock party, we also happen upon two incredibly cursed images—the Diddler, Epstein affiliates Naomi Campbell & Kevin Spacey, & Heath Ledger all draped over each other at Paris Fashion Week 2001... An image that conjures a line of inquiry into the symptomatic similarities between Ledger & Kim Porter's respective unexpected deaths... And another, slightly earlier, revealing pic of Diddy's White Parties in the Hamptons, which Michael Rubin has since taken over (possibly to Diddler's chagrin) and which shows a younger version of #1 philanderer Leo DiCaprio hanging out w/ P Diddy, which maybe says something about Hollywood Babylon & Leo's propensity for dating very young models. And the third major component is a recurrent theme on the show in recent months, namely streaming's place within the pantheon of weaponized media forms... And there is perhaps no more of an illustrative case study for examining streaming's emergence and for examining its appeal to the powers that be & the capitalist elite who've enabled its youth-conquering rise than: Jason Itzler, aka Mr. Based. We dig into an anecdote that Mr. Based shared on one of his streams, describing how he was "sexually assaulted in the eyes" once by Diddy in the '90s at the Reebok Club in NY. The Diddler & Itzler occupying a particular social milieu in NY in the '90s and running into each other, leading to this uncomfortable encounter in Itzler's retelling, opens the door for us to examine Mr. Based's incredibly sus career prior to his streaming renaissance as a 50-something pervert who assaults women on camera... Namely the fact that, at one time, he operated one of the most successful cam girl companies and one of the biggest & most luxurious escort services in all of the Big Apple. We learn how Itzler may have even played a Diddy-esque informing role that led to former NY Gov. Spitzer's sex worker scandal downfall (a lady that Itzler had recruited)... And wouldn't you know it, we unpack how Jason just so happens to come from two incredibly powerful, mobbed-up Zion·ist families in both Philly & NYC, both of which connect him directly to Meyer Lansky & Golda Meir (who used to stay at his family home when he was a youngster). I layout how Itzler's Grandfather on his Sylk side in Philly was a pharmacy tycoon who served as Truman's point person on the "Israel question" and even purchased the "Exodus" steam packet ship that would play a crucial role in the colonizing of the Holy Land, as this American Zion·ist backed effort to illegally ferry Holocaust survivors to the British Mandate turned into a rallying cry for the Israeli ethnonationalist project as the men, women, & children became stranded in a near-interminable limbo of foreign ports & sea, refused entry.

Navy SEAL Has a '40 Percent Rule' And It's the Key to Overcoming Mental Barriers Join Big Think Edge for exclusive video lessons from top thinkers and doers About 99 percent of the people who start marathons in the United States finish them. That's an astoundingly high number considering the pain and turmoil that every marathon runner faces. What each runner has in common, says author Jesse Itzler, is that they hit a wall where their mental resources are exhausted. At this point, sheer physical will maintains their strength — and this is the will that everyone has, but we seldom know how to tap into it. Itzler's way to break through his own mental barriers was to invite a Navy SEAL to live with him and his family for a month. First item on the agenda? Doing over 100 pull-ups. The lesson wasn't about physical fitness, but about mental fitness and how we each have an unused reservoir of strength and determination inside of us. Learn more about your ad choices.

Navy SEALs: How to build a warrior mindset | Big Think The fact that U.S. Navy SEALs endure very rigorous training before entering the field is common knowledge, but just what happens at those facilities is less often discussed. In this video, former SEALs Brent Gleeson, David Goggins, and Eric Greitens (as well as authors Jesse Itzler and Jamie Wheal) talk about how the 18-month program is designed to build elite, disciplined operatives with immense mental toughness and resilience. Wheal dives into the cutting-edge technology and science that the navy uses to prepare these individuals. Itzler shares his experience meeting and briefly living with Goggins (who was also an Army Ranger) and the things he learned about pushing past perceived limits. Goggins dives into why you should leave your comfort zone, introduces the 40 percent rule, and explains why the biggest battle we all face is the one in our own minds. "Usually whatever's in front of you isn't as big as you make it out to be," says the SEAL turned motivational speaker. "We start to make these very small things enormous because we allow our minds to take control and go away from us. We have to regain control of our mind."

Sara Blakely is a self-made billionaire. She's the founder and creator of Spanx. I interviewed her in January 2017 - over 800 episodes ago! - but all of her advice (learned directly from DOING) is still impacting me today. I had to re-listen. And I hope you do too...Some people are inspirations for life. Sara is one of those people.Sara Blakely is weird. I wish I could think the way she does. I want to be weird like her.“I look at any object and try to think of any use it has other than what people had planned for it.”And then she acts on it. She sees a pair of pantyhose, cuts off the feet (why not?), and creates a multi-billion dollar company, Spanx.She sees her 9-month pregnant belly and paints a basketball on it. And then inspires hundreds of other women to do the same. Creates a book out of it, The Belly Art Project, and donates the proceeds to charity.“All my life I was taught how to deal with failure,” she told me. “My dad would ask us at the dinner table every night: how did you fail today?” HOW DID YOU FAIL TODAY?She got comfortable with failure at an age when every other kid wants to get an A+ at everything.She got comfortable embarrassing herself. For two years she tried to be a standup comedian. “I wasn't very good at it.” Practice embarrassing yourself…Ready. Fire. Aim.She got a huge order from Nieman Marcus even though she didn't have the inventory or the production ready.She said, “YES!”. Then she figured out how to get the order filled.Oprah listed Spanx as one of her “favorite things” of 2000. Oprah wanted to film her office. Sara had no office.She said, “YES!”. Then she got an office and filled it up with people.Say YES! Then make things happen. Don't argue yourself into failure.Excuses are easy. Saying “yes” and then executing is hard. Get your thinking time.“It takes me five minutes to drive to work,” she told me. “But I take 45 minutes. I use that time to think.”It's important to think. To be creative every day.This is how she comes up with non-stop ideas to expand her brand, expand her products, and work on other projects.I suspect this is the secret to how she always sees things differently. Being creative is a practice. It's not lightning from above.It's taking the long route when you could've taken the short route. Purpose = Infectious salesmanship.While I was talking to Sara she used the word “empower” several times.Spanx clothes give women more confidence. Empowers women. The Belly Art Project empowers pregnant women.It seems like there are three parts to a project that leads to mastering salesmanship.The higher purpose for it. This gets people excited.The actual product and its benefits.ExecutionCombine all three and people will get infected with your passion for your ideas. Sara was unstoppable. Don't volley.Don't engage with the people who want to argue with you. That's time wasted when you can be creative. Don't invite ego in the door.Once you've worked on your project, have passion for it, and started it, be willing to take suggestions and listen to people.Ego can kill a project and close the door on good opportunities. Be aware of your mortality.Sara was selling fax machines for five years before fully launching Spanx.She could still be selling them if she never started.If she listened to all the people who tried to dissuade her.If she became afraid of the multi-billion dollar companies that could have easily squashed her. Except they didn't. She was one person and they were billions. But they lost.We are here only this precious small amount of time. Make every moment a work of art. Make every moment move you one step forward toward your dream and purpose.Invent a new undergarment even if you have never made clothes in your life.Get 100s of women to paint their pregnant bellies and then raise money for charity with the idea.“EVERYTHING IS A CANVAS,” she told me.Which makes everyone a potential artist. What a great way to look at life.But I can't!Why not?For anything you want to do, for anything that excites you, take the time to figure out the next step. Ready. Fire. Aim.Just why not?

So when Jesse felt himself drifting on autopilot, he hired a rather unconventional trainer to live with him for a month-an accomplished Navy SEAL widely considered to be "the toughest man on the planet"! Living With a Seal is like a buddy movie if it starred the Fresh Prince of Bel- Air. . .and Rambo. Jesse is about as easy-going as you can get. SEAL is. . . not. Jesse and SEAL's escapades soon produce a great friendship, and Jesse gains much more than muscle. At turns hilarious and inspiring, Living With a Seal ultimately shows you the benefits of stepping out of your comfort zone.

A Note from Hope Katz Gibbs, creator, Inkandescent PR + Publishing Co. — I am thrilled to host an Inkandescent interview on Sunday, Jan. 16 with authors Stephen Gilliland, a professor at Claremont Graduate University, and his brother Jim Gilliland. They have a big goal, a giant job, and a determination to keep the premise of their new book simple. "We promise to each other to do at least one exercise activity every day. It doesn't matter if you are sick, traveling, or tired. And to keep each other honest, we share one pic doing our activity every day," the authors and brothers share on their book website: pushingupbook.com. The dynamic duo embarked upon a journey of crazy workout challenges that increased in intensity as the year progressed; 10,000 push-ups each in March became 30,000 push-ups by December. Authors Stephen Gilliland and Jim GillilandAt the time, they were each searching for something more – more from their relationship as brothers and more from their middle-aged bodies. And as each month passed, they discovered the unexpected gift of what it means to live more fully as connected brothers, fathers, husbands, and successful leaders. I am excited to share their story with you and invite us to join them in the journey. "We hope you  uncover scars you didn't know you had, grow muscles and inner strength, and find authentic support in connecting more deeply with someone else," Stephen says, about the tome which will take you on an inner journey of life through lessons on: Taking the "I will" commitment and achieving audacious goals. Asking for help and finding a genuine connection. Recognizing limits and preparing to fail. Embracing "should be fine" as a mantra against doubt. Practicing empathy and reaching out in times of loss. Here's to Pushing Up! Click here to learn more about the book. Scroll down to check out the introduction. From Pushing Up! Introduction by Stephen Gilliland and Jim Gilliland It was out of the blue, but it was not. We had just spent the holidays together; my daughter and her husband recently moved to Vancouver, where Jim and our parents live, and we all had a big family Christmas. Jim gave me a book for Christmas – Living with a SEAL: 31 Days Training with the Toughest Man on the Planet. In this book, Jesse Itzler describes a month of physical punishment that resulted from having a Navy SEAL live with him and train him daily. The journey defies typical workout wisdom by eschewing "recovery days" and pushing each day harder than the last. Itzler was in decent shape at the start of the month. By the end, he was running with a 50-pound vest and completed 1,000 push-ups in a day. Some of the workouts he described seemed insane. But he pushed through the insanity for physical and mental gain. I saw Jim reading this book shortly after he bought it. He finished it in a couple of days. He gave it to me and asked me to read it right away. JG: Have you finished the book? SG: Just a chapter. I am reading it to Cindi. JG: Okay, once you are done, I have a New Year's resolution workout proposal for you. That filled me with fear. What would he be proposing? Would I be able to handle it? I was in good shape for 51 but not great. My wife expressed her concerns. "You're not going to do any of those crazy Navy SEAL things with Jim, are you?" But I was also excited. Workouts had become boring. Runs had become shorter. And I was five pounds heavier than I had been in my late 40s. When I think about it, the workouts and physical challenges were not as big a concern for me as the commitment. Could I commit to a greater focus on working out? I don't want the exercise to run my life. I have always been the opposite of a weekend warrior when it comes to workouts: I am pretty good during the week but usually take weekends off. It's a break from work and working out, a break from schedules. I don't take commitments lightly, and this was going to be a big one. But it wasn't just about the workouts and commitment. Part of my excitement was the growing connection with my brother. Jim is seven years younger than me, and as kids, it was almost like we grew up separately. Our older brother, Brian, is fewer than two years older than me, and he and I were inseparable growing up. We tried to include Jim, but he was so much younger. When I was 18, I moved 500 miles from central British Columbia to Edmonton, Alberta, to go to university. Jim was ten going on 11 at the time. Or maybe it was ten going on 16. He had always seemed older and wiser than his age. Many people I have talked to have found that, as adults, they grew more distant from the siblings they were close to growing up, but Jim and I have been the opposite. Two separate childhoods: For Jim, it was almost like being an only child. But in adulthood, we developed a strong bond even when contacts were infrequent. When I went through a divorce from my first wife in graduate school, Jim was the family member who flew out to spend time with me, making sure I was okay. He was 17 at the time and a freshman in college. But we could also go for four or six months without ever contacting each other. We lived separate lives with a strong bond between us. So, another thought that crossed my mind when Jim presented me with the idea of a challenge was excitement over the prospect of more regular contact with one of the smartest and kindest people I know. Jim's Turn Growing up, it almost seemed that I had four parents. My brother Brian was nine years older and moved out of the house when he was 16. My brother Stephen was seven years older and left home when he graduated high school. My Dad was working in Vancouver, so it was just my Mom, and having Stephen gone left the house very empty. His trips home during the holidays were an intense time where I could tell him everything that had been bottled up since his last visit. Also intense was my dread near the end of his visit with the knowledge that he would be leaving back to school soon. Since that time, the intermittent intensity would describe our relationship. Flying to East Lansing to help him through his divorce. The occasional visit to Tucson to see our niece and nephew grow up. A meaningful connection, always there in the background but intermittent. A relationship I didn't fully appreciate until that phone call in the hospital. My wife Jenny was only 30 weeks pregnant and was recovering from the surgery of an emergency C-section. Our twins, a 2.5-pound daughter, and a 3.5-pound son were both very sick in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). I remember that feeling of complete shock and helplessness. My only thought was, "I need my brother, and I need him now." "Stephen, Jenny's been in an accident. I need you; I need you so bad." "Jim, where are you?" "John Muir Hospital, Stephen, please get here. I can't do this. I can't." "Just hang on; I'm on my way. I will get the next flight. I will be there. Just hang in there." I counted the hours until he arrived and did everything I could just to hold it together. In the years that passed since that day, we sustained a strong bond—a deeper connection from his supporting me at a time in my life when I needed it most. But again, as time passed, our contact became more occasional. As I approached the New Year and the inevitable emptiness of his latest departure after the holidays, my thoughts turned to resolutions. I wanted to find a way to increase the interaction from a distance. I wanted to create something important together. This relationship was too important not to make a priority. We hope that by sharing our journey, we can entertain, provoke, and perhaps even inspire. This is not a book about getting in shape. Truth be told, after all the workouts, I still carry that extra five pounds. Instead, this is a book about a powerful journey for two brothers and the lessons for life that were uncovered on that journey.

Today the 17Twenty crew sits down with Megan Reilly, an owner and chief operating officer of Tippi Toes, Inc., podcast host, speaker, DJ, and entrepreneur.  They talk through a ton of great stories, starting with a small world moment at a TEXO/YCC event back in September of 2019 involving Jesse Itzler.  This night leads Megan to a launch point for her podcast, "Who Is Your Momma?", where she's listening to and learning from the mothers of highly successful individuals, and she shares many of the lessons she's complied from the interviews, including many great parenting nuggets.The conversation also includes a behind-the-scenes look at the experience of Megan and her sister on Season 2, Episode 1 of Shark Tank, where they pitched Tippi Toes and ended up with an on-air deal from Mark Cuban.You'll also hear the moment where Kevin and Stewart decide to roll out this month's #17TwentyChallenge, piggy-backing off of the challenge that Megan was doing with Itzler's BACC, as they talk through the value of bringing your whole-self to things you're doing, and the identification of your whole-self through ever-changing seasons of life.Great episode.  Great stories.  Great inspiration.  

When Jesse Itzler was first starting Marquis Jet, one of his salespeople turned to him and said, "This is hard. All of my customer's are pushing back on me." Itzler looked at the young salesperson and said, "Of course it's hard. What took you so long to realize it? Your job as a salesperson is to present and it's your customer's job to push back." Why are we so shocked when a customer pushes back on us and tells us NO? Did you think sales was going to be easy? If it were easy, you would've never gotten hired. If it all made sense beforehand, there'd be no need for you as a salesperson. It's supposed to be hard, because your offer pushes back on everything the customer thought and knew. Thank God they have you because you'll see it through. It's your job to lean into hard. It's your job to stay with them even when they push back and because you stayed with them and helped them see other options, you'll earn a level of satisfaction and success that most can only dream of. All because it was HARD. Thank you to Inky Johnson and Jesse Itzler for today's context. Subscribe and hear the full interview here.

Jeremy Parker is the Co-founder and CEO of Swag.com, the eCommerce platform for purchasing promotional materials that people actually want to keep. When you think of the promotional products industry, you might think of cheaply made items you pickup conferences only to eventually throw away. Or, god forbid you've ever had to order promotional products yourself and are aware of the nightmare of dealing with shipping inquiries, quality issues, and all manner of inconvenience synonymous with that industry. Swag.com's mission is to take the pain out of ordering customized promotional material with a focus on high quality, frictionless ordering, and seamless distribution. Swag.com launched in 2016 and has since become the fastest-growing company in the promotional product space. Inc. magazine recently included the company on its list of fastest-growing companies in the country. Swag.com’s thousands of customers include corporate giants like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, and TikTok. In this conversation, Jeremy discusses the founding of Swag.com, what he learned from pivotal mentors, and how he was able to observe and utilize Uber's inventory-free model to great success.   Observe the Uber model of curation organization and obliterating friction. The foundation of SWAG.com was born out of the constant frustration most people have when ordering branded items for their companies or clients. Something as simple as branded t-shirts or water bottles can be a nightmarish process consisting of hours of research, waiting around for samples to arrive, comparing price quotes, etc. And even then, quality is never guaranteed. Instead of starting their own custom branding company from scratch, Swag.com yielded the Uber model of brokering, whereby they found and vetted a series of high-quality and trusted custom merchandise providers and created a network of them that they would dispatch orders to through their e-commerce platform. This allowed them to move fast and operate on a large scale, all with a very lean company structure.   Pound the pavement. When he was just starting out with Swag.com, Jeremy landed an enormous client right out of the gate, Facebook. How did he get Facebook? It wasn't from months of cold calling and emailing and asking for a meeting; no, he showed up at their office. By inserting his own foot in the door, decision-makers met with him and ultimately signed on to be his client. This caused a social proof domino effect because once he announced that he had a titan like Facebook as a client, WeWork and Netflix jumped on board next and the snowball for Swag.com was very much set in motion. Clearly, showing up at someone's office without an appointment doesn't always work, and you're likely to be turned away but, if you do it enough times, who knows, you may be surprised at who will take an impromptu meeting with you and what it can lead to. Surround yourself with greatness. In his earlier years, Jeremy worked very closely with Jessie Itzler, serial entrepreneur, social media personality,self-development guru, and husband to Spanx founder Sara Blakely. Jeremy's time with Jessie was incredibly formidable for his work ethic, entrepreneurial sensibility, intelligence, and overall hustle. If that wasn't enough, Jeremy got to spend a great deal of time with David Goggins; ex-Navy SEAL, motivational speaker, and downright badass in every sense of the word. The combination of these two mentors imbued Jeremy with innate entrepreneurial intelligence and a rock-solid discipline that he carried into Swag.com to the tune of great success. The saying goes that you become the sum total of the five people you spend the most amount of time with, so choose wisely. If you're around great, prosperous, and inspirational people, you're more than likely to turn out the same way.

GEORGE:  Alright, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the mind at George. It is free for all Friday, and I am picking everything bagel seeds out of my teeth today. And I'm excited because Travis is going to be talking and I'm going to be enjoying the flavor of this bagel for the next 45 minutes. And I have no idea why.But I went on a bagel kick this morning and I couldn't buy one. So I bought three. But today I am super, super excited, added to be joined by my guest who has an amazing bio. You can just Google it because it's phenomenal. And I would take the whole episode for me to read it, but it's somebody that I've actually known of an internet stock for probably four or five years. And it wasn't until our amazing mutual friend, Zach Benson introduced us. And so today I have Travis Chappell and the reason that I love Travis above everything else that he does besides the two podcasts. Amazing software working with the top entrepreneurs in the world is that Travis gets it. And when I say Travis gets it, he gets that people matter over everything else.And he has built his mission, helping people connect with people and not having them feel like you're a snake in the grass or kind of just in it for a deep transaction. And so that's the best intro I could give him. So Travis, welcome to the show.TRAVIS:  George what's up, man. Thanks so much for having me.GEORGE:  Do you have such a good podcasting voice? I can totally get it now. I love it. TRAVIS:  It's the mic. It's the mic setup.  GEORGE:   That's what I say. I was like, I'm still learning how to play with the audio tool so I can make myself, like, I want to be able to give myself a British accent, an Australian accent. And then like have that deep tone. Cause I feel like when you have one of those accents, you just sound 10 times smarter than everything else. TRAVIS:  True. It's actually psychologically proven. Yes. GEORGE:  I make this stuff up, but it's probably cause I heard it somewhere and that's how the neuroplasticity of my brain works. So one of the questions that I always love to start with, and I'm actually so interested to hear your response to this one.So the first question I ask is when you look back at your career and you've had quite a career. What was the biggest mistake or the biggest lesson that you've learned and what'd you take away from it and apply  nowTRAVIS:  I'd have to say that the biggest mistake that I've made is pushing things off and procrastinating. I ended up kind of be that type of a person in general, even like, you know, thinking back through school and in college and all that kind of stuff. It was just, I was always working best under pressure. You know, if the project's due tomorrow, I'm up the night before and I'll knock it out and I'll get an a, but I'm going to procrastinate till the very end. And so that's definitely something that I've had taken away from my entrepreneurial journey, because it bites you in the ass if you do it too much, you know what I'm saying? Like it no longer is a matter of,, well, it. You know that's one of those reasons. I think school is not a total proper preparation for what life is because there was no really there was no really con there was a real consequences to me waiting till the last minute to do a school project, except for that, you know, I'm up until 2:00 AM or whatever.That's really the only consequence which is that's not that big of a deal to you in college. You know what I mean? So like you can make it happen. You get an a, and you move on, but. The thing is in your entrepreneurial journey. If you sit on ideas too long, people will just start doing them.You know what I mean? Like didn't lose, you can lose time. You can lose a lot of money. You can lose influence, you can lose attention. There's so many things that that you lose by continuing to push things off and specifically the big thing I'm talking about is my podcast. Because man, if I would have just started it around the same time that I thought about starting oneI'd be a year ahead of where I am, which at three a week would be, you know, an additional 150 200 episodes, which would be an additional couple hundred thousand downloads, which would be an additional, a certain amount. of Followers and audience and attention and more money. And like everything would have been on a faster timeline if I started faster. And so I think there's a lot of people that just kind of sit around and wait for some magical day when everything's going to align. And it's just never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever going to happen.So you just gotta decide how important is it to you? That's really the big question. Like you shouldn't just get started with everything that you think about or else you'd be doing your thing. But how important is it to you? And if it is really important to you, then do it now. Like it started now, regardless of if it's a messy action, action at all is better than no action.GEORGE:  You know what, man, I so much, so much, there's probably like a stoic novel of entrepreneurial wisdom that just got pulled out of that answer. But the thing for me is like, you've talked about the podcast. It took me nine years. Like I wanted to launch my podcast in 2011. And, you know, what's not says I had a Heil, PR 40 microphones sitting in my room closet for eight and a half years, and I still don't use it, but at least I have a podcast now. But I literally, I've never used that microphone. And I kept it as a reminder of like, you know, when you do something like you've got to trust yourself and go all in, because I think about it and I'm glad I didn't like for all the right reasons. Like, I've learned a lot of lessons I'm in a different place now, but. It's actually really interesting because even now successful entrepreneur, when I launched this podcast a couple a couple months, we're doing amazing, but I had the same fears I had come up nine years ago. They didn't. They, you know, they didn't feel any different, they didn't taste any different, but I had a different set of tools in my toolbox and I was like, yeah, this doesn't matter, right.I actually was going to unpack it for you. So it's like, when I think about that, you know, as an entrepreneur, I think a lot, one of the times we sit here on the other side, we talk about like, Hey, you know, don't wait, don't wait, don't wait. And it wasn't like a brick in the face that hit me with that.It took years of learning. Like every time I missed because the consequences of waiting aren't immediate. There's like a very slow drip and fallout. And so how do you, like you said, when you talked about it, like, make sure it's important to you. Like, how do you vet, like what's important to you versus like, does this move the needle on the business? Is this for my personal tank? Like how do you go through that process? And then what's the first step that you do to do something. TRAVIS:   To me, it's the rocking chair test, which is something that Tony Robbins talks about a good amount and really resonates with me for whatever reason, but really quick, before I do that, I want to touch on something that you mentioned. You mentioned the Heil PR 40, and for those listening, that's like four or $500 microphone, a really nice microphone.  and when you're first starting out podcasting, you don't have to have something like that. And what I find to be a common denominator, George, between people who take action immediately and then actually stick with it versus people who go out and do something like that, where they like bought this microphone.I think the big difference there is you're taking action with the things that are the most fun parts of the task at hand. And I think that some, I think that if you're like, if you're going to take action, you should start it. Taking action on things that are going to move the needle, not necessarily the things that are emotionally most, you know, emotionally the coolest thingsabout the new venture that you're doing.You know what I mean? Like don't, don't, don't worry. Like if you're, if you just like, man, I just really want to buy this microphone, like, cause you know, and we all know that we're not logical creatures. We make decisions by emotion and we justify with logic. So it's like, you know, I really want this microphone, but I wouldn't really, it. So then you're, you're, you've decided that you want the microphone. This is now your logic is going to work and being like, well, but if I do this and I start this podcast, that's going to make money and then I can make money back on the microphone that about. And like you're finding all these reasons. So you go out and you buy the microphone, you're super excited about it. And then you like set it up or maybe you don't set it up. But but the point is saying is like, Don't just do the things that are fun about the new thing that you're trying, or the action that you're taking. Like do some of the things like, you know, buy the course before you buy the microphone and educate yourself, work on yourself internally, make yourself get up at 5:00 AM for the next seven days and work for one hour on your new thing.And then reward yourself with the fun stuff, reward yourself with that microphone records and episodes into your laptop. Audio, have it be a crappy as can be, but it's a, if I can do this for 30 days in a row, then in 30 days, I'm gonna go out and I'm going to get a microphone. I'm rewarding myself. I think that  plan of attack is going to keep you in the game a little bit longer and prevent you from spending money on a bunch of stuff that you never use.But anyway, back to the original question here, uh, so the rocking chair test, that's something that I use to decide if I should attack a new venture. As entrepreneurs, we all kind of have that shiny object syndrome and, you know, I'm 28. I've only been doing this entrepreneurship thing. Well, basically I've never had a job, so kind of it since forever since I was supporting myself at, you know, I got married when I was like 21. So since I was 21supporting myself. And in that time, period, I don't know how many things I've tried out. So many things that I've tried. And it's gotten a lot more clear over the years.  butI think that testing period was really important because it just helped me work through some different things and figure out, okay, well, I don't really want to be doing this.This isn't something that I'm like super great at. I don't really believe in this product that much. And it like brought me all the way up to this point. And now as I look at new ventures, it's really important to sit and take a second and say, how important is this to me to have accomplished at some point in my life. And I think that the rocking chair tells helps me do that. And so that's basically what it, is imagine yourself at 90 years old, 95 years old, sitting on a rocking chair on your front porch, looking back at your life and ask yourself if I do not do this thing. If I do not pursue this new venture or in this new direction, will I regret that at some point? And I think that not enough people ask themselves that question. And I think people are two are more afraid of failure or of regret where, to me, I'm way more afraid of having regret when I'm 90, then then failing a bunch until I get to 90, you know, knock on wood. But yeah, I think the, I think that that test is really is really a big thing for me.It was a huge thing when I started the software stuff, man, cause I mean, it was a big leap. We've spent a good amount of money in dev work to get this thing up and running, just to see if it's something that people even want. And that was a big, I'm not, I'm not a SAS founder. I'm not a software guy. I'm not a developer myself. It's it's a big risk to take on this brand new venture that I know little to, nothing about just because I thought I had a pretty good idea about it. When I sat there and asked myself that question, like if I look back in, you know, even if it's not, when I'm 90, let's say it's 60 or 70 or 50 or whatever.When I look back on this time in my life, will I regret not doing this? And the answer is just always overwhelmingly a yes, it was just like, I'm going to always look back at this moment. And , if none of my other dreams come true, especially if none of my other dreams come through, all the goals and the things that I'm working toward in life, if those things don't come true, I know, 100% for sure that I'm going to look back on this moment and be like, man, what if I just would have tried that software? That would have been the thing. You know what I mean? Like that, that would have been like, I could have, I could have sped up this timeline. I wouldn't have to go do this thing now when I'm 68, but I don't want to be doing like, you know what I mean? When I really look at those new ventures, new opportunities, I always ask myself. If I don't do this, will I regret it? And if so, how extreme, like how extreme will that regret be? You know what I mean? So, um, uh, that's, that's kinda how I vet out those new ideas. Sometimes.GEORGE:  That's good. I've, I've actually, I've heard it. I've never heard it explained like that. Well, it's a really, really simple concept and it's funny too, because you know, for those of you that don't know. So Travis has two podcasts, has been killing the game, entrepreneurship that working all this amazing thing. And then Travis is like, I think there's a better way for podcasters to do certain things. I'm going to launch a software, which is the opposite of like the shiny dopamine hit that you talked about with like buying the new microphone, right?You went the other way. Right. And I think, I think Travis, like you nailed it. Oh, it was for me. Right. It was the illusion that I wanted to do something, but I hadn't laid the foundation.Or built the container strong enough to hold myself accountable. Right. And so like for me now I know myself, right? Like I'm successful, but I also know my backdoor. So the moment I have an idea, I know if I'm going to do it, I have to post it publicly before I do anything or else I will find 8,000,064 different reasons just not do it. So I like I'll go live on Facebook podcasts, but Hey guys, just so you know, this is coming in like the next 30 days.And I have to like, put that accountability out to put in that work. Cause I think too. The undertow of what you said when you answered that question about the microphone  was gold and then the rocking chair test, and then the software that you're launching the venture too. I think one of the things that's underneath it, and you said it right without saying it is that. Success is not this big thing. It's the combination of these little things. Things that we do every single day. I mean, you're, you're going from everyone, like sees us off where program lash like, Oh, I'm so stoked. I'm so pissed. They're charging me so much money. I'm like, they've been working on that for four years. Like four years. You didn't know it existed.Paying for it, paying employees, devving it, you're buying it UX and all of it. And so. You've been working on this software, it's coming out actually soon. It might come out by the time this year podcast comes out. But when you think about that and thinking about what you talked about, like, okay, what are some of the lessons that you've learned in building the software? It's not your forte, it's not your expertise. It's your idea. And it's kind of putting into practice, the rocking chair, test, the shiny object syndrome being eliminated. Like how have you processed through that? And like, yeah, what's come up. What have you learned? Like, I'd love to hear some of that.TRAVIS:  And I know that you're going to love this answer because I know that's something we've talked about before. 100%, the most helpful thing during this entire process has been my network. Like without question on multiple, on multiple regards, that one of the biggest things that I've heard from SAS founders, and anytime I'm like trying a new venture, I kind of use it selfishly as I'm going throughout my, like, interviewing on my show.So you'll notice like, almost, almost like, um, industry leaning trends as I gain interest and other things, you know what I mean? Um, and so like you go through like a real estate investing thing and you talk to a bunch of real estate investors. And so I, you know, When I was starting the SAS stuff, I started talking to more SAS founders and things. And one of the biggest issues that I heard come up over and over again. And then I read through an, a software building book and took a couple online things about software. Andone of the  biggest thing, that I heard was just nightmares with development teams was like one of the biggest common denominators, one of the biggest common problems or issues for SAS founders.And I keep saying SAS, just to kind of define that in case you're wondering what that is. You're listening. It's a software as a service. And one of the biggest, one of those biggest problemsis that dev team issues? Well, I got super lucky, man, because I knew a guy who, reached out to me about starting a podcast for his software development company to get more clients in his software development company.And when we were talking, I told him about this software idea that I was kicking around in my head. And he was like, I think that's a tremendous idea. So usually this company, you would charge like $10,000 for a wire frame, which was enough to prevent me from figuring out what it would look like. Cause I, you know what I mean? Cause I knew that there were software dev shacks that would do something similar. And, but I was so focused on some other things that I was working on, but it wasn't a top priority for me to go out  and purposefully spend that amount of money just to see if I liked the product and want it to go get it built.Right. So, uh, he's a friend of mine that I've known for awhile. And after we decided to work on the podcast, we hopped on another call. He's like, we should just hop on a call and yeah. Work through what that might look like. So it helps call. We talked about it a bunch, and then a week later he shows me this wireframe that he did totally for free. And then I looked at the wireframe and I was like, I have to build this, that this has to exist. I think that it's going to be a knockout. I think that it's a good enough idea. I think that it has a lot of legs and you know, this guy's been in the software space for a long time. He agreed that obviously there was a external reason for him to agree that it had legs because he gets paid to do the dev work.But also he was a friend. So I actually trusted him. He wasn't just some random guy that found me online and wanted me todo his podcast for him. So that by itself was a good, like that connect by itself was amazing just to be able to have to work with a good dev shop that's, based in the U S and that does incredible will work and doesn't charge out the wazoo. For that incredible work. They do what they say they're going to do it. mostly has been on time. There's been a couple of delays, but that's just, that's like building a custom home and expecting it to be done on time too. It's just like, things just don't happen like that.There's always issues that come up that you're not sure that you're not sure, you know, that you couldn't have estimated from the beginning, but anyway, it's been mostly a positive experience. And and I've noticed that for sure, because other friends that I have that are doing similar dev work right. They've been working on it for months and months longer than we've been working on ours. And they are still months away from launching, whereas we're a couple of weeks away from launching. So just that one connection was good by itself, but now. Since then I've other questions about that kind of stuff, but I've never gone through like a fundraising round and all that kind of stuff.And it's still at this point, I haven't, but I was able to get on the phone with several entrepreneur friends that I now have, that I've built through the podcast, by the way, I was able to get on a phone with a bunch of them and ask them a ton of questions about like, Hey, Uh, what, what would you recommend on a seed round? Is that a click, a convertible or a safe orlike it, should there be some sort of options pool? Like what exactly do I do? How do I structure that? And then they a couple people, multiple people that made introductions to me to start up attorneys that would help me get my I legal docs set up all of, through introductions from people in my own network on relationships that I've worked on building for the last couple of years.And then a step further, bro. Even beyond all of the logistics and getting the company set up and, and learning some things , about raising capital and learning things about the, the a, the C Corp formation, because all I've ever done is like single member LLCs. That file is us corpse. And that, like, I see corp out of my world, you know, so asking all these questions, because it all these different things doing my own private, independent research, and then getting to the point where about a month ago started reaching out to people because we wanted to build up a list of guests that were going to be bookable on the site.So basically  it's a game and create a marketplace where if you have a YouTube channel or a podcast or a blog and you interview high level people for that, this is a way to connect with those people without going through months and months of trying to figure out where their media contact is and who the right person is and go through their gatekeeper and find an email and then schedule.And then in 17 email chain, it's basically go to their profile. Pay a thousand bucks or whatever their price is that they charge, book them on your show, have it scheduled in the County. I do the call. It's all taken care of within the site. And it's a pay-to-play marketplace so that you can for sure guarantee that you're going to get interviews. People you want to know. And so, when we were looking at the launch, we were like, okay, we can either go after the creators or we can go after the guests. We can't go after both because it would split our time and not be as effective. So I was like, let's go after the guests. Cause they're the ones with the audiences that will also have creators and they'll be able to bring in more users to the platform that way.We go out to  this list. And the first thing that I did is I is we went through all of the guests that have ever been on the build network. Yes. Which now at this point we're almost at 500 episodes. So we're coming up 300 something guests at this point. Cause some of them were solo shows and different combinations and things. So we reached out to that entire list. We have a list now almost 75 people. In the last two or three weekswhom have their own audiences. A lot of them are really well known, especially in the business and entrepreneurial space and especially in the consecration space, speaking space and all that, all those types of things, every single one of those people.Was, we're not cold pitches. They were warm, reached out it's to people that already had that I had already had a relationship with them. They've agreed to come onto the platformfor a couple of reasons. First of all, I think it's actually a useful platform. I think the software that we built actually has some really cool features. And if you're in this space or industry at all, I think that you would see that and it's all totally free because it's more of a platform as a service than it is a software as a service. Yeah. So our goal is basically just users. So, you know, it's a lot easier of a yes, but also the second reason that they're willing to say yes is because we have a PR like a preexisting relationship and there's a bunch of other people who have already said yes.So like literally bro, every single step along the way, there's a ton of uncertainty and there still is uncertainty. Obviously we haven't launched it. We still don't know how it's gonna work, work with people. Um, but I will say that, yeah, if I tried to do this two years ago, three years ago, Uh, I would be a million steps behind where I am right now. Just, just simply because of the relationships that are, that are, um, you know, existence in my life now. GEORGE: Cause nobody likes them or the people that get it.And one of the things that I think is so powerful, what you said is like, when you connected with this dev. There was a point where obviously he's incentivized because he'll be doing the dev work, but the quality of your relationship is what dictated his ability to go that deep invest that much capital and time into what it was offer based on the relationship that you had built and that wasn't transactionally, he reached out for help. You helped him. You did all of that thing. And what I think a lot of times, like I said, that we run up to, we, we teach relationships beat algorithms like, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, yeah. But the payoff, like reciprocity doesn't work tomorrow. Like reciprocity is a bank that comes out whenever it's needed to come up, but it could be a year from now two years from now. And you have no idea how far that ripple travels. And I think, you know, that's a Testament to it. So I think this is a perfect opportunity, by the way. What's the name of the, um, the software for everybody knows. TRAVIS:  Yeah, it's called guestio. So you can find it over @ www.guestio.comGEORGE:  So here's, what's funny. I'll tell you this story before it has name this question. So I want to Carole Baskin and on the podcast, right? Like from, from Tiger King, like bingo is going, going crazy. And I was like, everybody does the same thing.  They reach out to PR people and I wanted to talk to her about her marketing. Cause like, quite frankly, like she's a marketing genius, you know? The jury's out on anything else, but from a marketing perspective, servant's like, you're never going to get ahold of her. And I was like, she's on cameo. And that app cameo, if you guys don't know, you pay X amount of dollars and you get it, the celebrity to record your voice or shout out. And so I was like, what if I pay for a cameo to give her my contact information, tell her I'm going to spread the message of her service and give her my email. So I send this cameo. And I don't give her anything to record the message. She cancels the cameo because there's nothing to record. Sends me an email and said, Oh, that was super creative. Can't wait, connect. Here's my email and got her contact info without her, for like paying a dollar. And I was like, I made guestio 1.0, without them knowing. TRAVIS:  That's exactly right, bro. That's, that's exactly where the idea came from cheering for people on there. And I was like, man, I wish I could guarantee that they're going to say yes to an interview, but there's no way to guarantee that. And so, uh, so I was like, well, why don't I just build it? GEORGE:  I felt responsible for them adding the feature to text after, because I did that six times and I got ahold of all six people and all six of them personally emailed me and I never paid a dollar because they refund your money. If the request isn't funny, right. And then I was like, I have morals and ethics. And I was like, okay, I really feel bad. Like this works. I just can't go teach this. . Like, I'll just leave it for what it is. And then you come along. But like, when you think about it, right, like you talk about, you've been working on years on like building your network and building your network.Like, what are some of the big things that you focus on when you meet somebody when you're building your network? Like, how do you ensure that, that connection or that relationship as positive and doesn't feel slimy and snaky, like we're used to. TRAVIS:  So the one way that I sign of my, every single podcast that I do on both network is remember to leave every relationship better than you found it.And it's not a first heard from Gary V where he talks about basically he always strives to add 51% of the value in every relationship that he has. And when I read that, I was like, that just makes sense to me that is the way. That people should be treated. And it was a little bit different of an idea for me at the time, because I was used to doing door to door sales, which is  like the opposite of networking. You know what I mean? Like it is literally knocking on a door and then selling something within 10 minutes of meeting somebody, which is literally the opposite of what you're supposed to do when you're networking and building relationships. And when I went through that, I was like, man, this seems just like a way better way to get the job done.Like one way you'll always be working. The other way you can build wealth in a shorter period of time. Just not right now. You know what I mean? Like it's not going to be right now, but if you do a good enough job building relationships over the course of the next 10 years at 20 years, it's going to be way more impact full then if you're just focusing on the short term transactions, because if you do that, you're going to be focusing on that for the next.40 years, 50 years. Cause you're never going to get a break from that. You better be really freaking smart with your money, if that's the way that you're treating relationships. And so that's one of the big things  that I try to instill with people is just to remember, to leave evolution better than you found it. Even if you have nothing to benefit from our relationship. If you have nothing that can help you or profit you from a relationship, always try to offer some value, get used to doing favors for people as long as they don't, take out huge chunks of your day. And as long as they don't make you in-congruent or inconsistent with the way that you choose you to live your life.If you're a coach for instance, and people pay you. 10 grand for your coaching session. You know, you obviously don't want to just hop on a ton of free coaching calls with somebody because for the sake of like helping them, because that's obviously completely unfair for the people who were paying you a ton of money to get access to your time. So I think that's a little bit different, but what I am saying is like, if you can make a quick connection or if you can recommend a quick tool, or you can shout out a book to somebody or say, Hey, I read an article this morning, thought you might enjoy it, send it off to somebody or you're, you know, out and about something reminds you of somebody that, you know, shoot them a quick video. Why not just reengage those people always be trying to add a little bit of value to the lives of the people that are around you. And what it does mean is that it makes people conspire for your good yeah. And when you have a ton of people that are just hoping that you do well, you know what I mean? They're just there. They're hoping they're there, they're there wishing the best upon you. Um, that's just, you know, I, I know this is a woo woo or whatever, but that's just good energy. It's good energy to have, you know, when there's a bunch of people conspiring for your good and for your benefit in the world, just because like, you're just a helpful person that never seems to care about all the other things. That's such a really, that's just a really awesome thing to have. GEORGE:   I say I'm wooo wooo covered in tattoos. They come, I just don't look it right. Like the tattoos were like a good hiding spot for me for awhile.  So when I think about this, right. when you think about these relationships and you think about always improving upon this silence rider, adding a bit of new founder, Gary, like we we've seen it.And the truth , is that. It does work. And it's not even that, like it works to get something out of it. Like it's just about being a good human being and like, understanding that this is what's going to change the world. AndI, it took me a long time to realize that, remember, you know, when I was like in the beginning of entrepreneurship and I like made my first million, I went to a conference and keynoted, I was like backstage with all the other speakers.And I was like, Let me tell you about me. Let me tell you about me. Let me tell you about me. And I was like, ah, they never just texted me back ever. Like I wouldn't even get their number.  Like good lessons that we had to learn, you know, to play the game. But one things that I find really interesting and I love to hear how people do this. When you start building relationships with people like you're talking about, like when you plant a seed, you have to water it and water and water it. And if you want that vegetable, you have to tend to it. Sometimes you have to water it once a month. Sometimes you can just let that thing grow and it's a Lotus and it comes through mud.And other times you have to water it daily, but like, how do you look at nurturing relationships with people when you build them? Like you have a really big network of people. And so is there anything that you proactively do or do you kind of just build it reactively and keep it open? Like, Hey, hit me up anytime. Like how do you see that, that nurturing of the watering of that garden that you've built with your network? TRAVIS: That's honestly something that I'm trying to get a lot better at, to be honest with you, man, because I am not super great at re-engaging and remembering things like that. My my wife will be the first one to line up and tell you that. I just try to do more things like exactly what I was just saying when I'm out and about I'm thinking about something or something reminds me of somebody I'll shoot them a quick text, shoot them a quick video, just, Hey, thinking about you haven't talked to in awhile, whatever.I think that goes a long way with people, especially now. When you just kind of assume that people catch up with your stuff, because while I'm posting it all online, there's something called an algorithm that doesn't show your stuff that you post online to everybody that knows you. So, it's really good to get off of those platforms and just shoot a text or shooting or shoot something out that's a little bit more personalized, especially if you can do a video really quick stuff like that, I think that is really beneficial. The other thing that I think that I do pretty well is connecting other people to each other as a form of continuing to stay in touch with people. So anytime I come across somebody who I'm like, it triggers a memory in my mind of a conversation that I had with somebody else.And I think that these two might be able to have a conversation, but I just make an introduction. I ask both people always get a double opt in intro because you never know if people are trying to avoid each other. You don't want to, you know, I've been, I've been put into introductions like that with people where I'm like, ah, come on, man.I don't like, this is already a person that I've talked to and they're just trying to like, get something from me and I've already told them no. And now I'm in this awkward conversation that I have to back out of because you're a friend of mine and I don't want to like, make it seem like, you know what I mean?So I'll always get the double opt in intro, but make introductions as much as you can, man. Be the connector of people.  I made an introduction. I didn't even know if it was going to go anywhere.  I don't know if you know, Jordan Harbinger and, and interpreter.  Brandon's a host of bigger pockets and Jordan has the Jordan harbinger show, too.It shows in iTunes bigger pockets podcast, the largest real estate investing podcast out there. They get three, 4 million something downloads a month.  Jordan's show is 6 million downloads a month. And I made a connection to them like, like, uh, a while ago. I don't remember even how long ago it was, but I just asked both of them like, Hey, I think this would be a fruitful connection.You know, they're both really cool people. You both kind of are, are living kind of outside of the other onlinebusiness type people, like all the funnel, hackers, community, like you guys are like, definitely. Away from that community. I think that you have multiple things that you agree on that you touch,  multiple crossover touch points. and so I was just like, Hey, you mind if I make an intro? And both of them said, sure. You know, and it was kind of like, yeah, but I mean, I can't really do much because my show is a real estate podcast. And then Jordan was like, yeah, I can't really do much though, because you know, he's about real estate.We don't really talk about real estate on the show. And I was like, all right, no worries. But I mean, the thing is be cool. If you guys got to know each other, it turns out a few months later, Brandon and bigger pockets decide to bring on an another interview into their weekly schedule, just about mindset in general, instead of just real estate investing, because that's a huge part of any business is working on your mind and going through the personal development journey.And the first guest that Brandon had on that segment of the bigger pockets podcast was Jordan harbinger. And so it was really, it was a really cool opportunity. To be brought up in another conversation. Andand know that I was able to add value to both of them, as well as the entire or audience that listens to the conversation.When back when, like, I didn't really even know what would come of it and I wasn't trying to get anything out. Yeah. Out of it. It was just a way of just trying to add a little bit of value to people. And I think if you get in that habit, it's a really good habit to get into. So be it be a connector of manGEORGE:  you're yeah, you're really good at that. And, and I've learned, I've learned how to do this by doing it all wrong and then learning how to do a ride and paying attention to those around me.  By the way, like, I need to talk about this double opt in thing too. Like. It is the worst thing you can do. Cause like I'm really available, like really available and I'm like, I'll talk to anybody, but I'm always like, Hey, can you ask me first? I've had intros to people that I swore, like I should have had restraining orders againstI'm like, I'm getting punked. This is a joke. One of my friends, like how did they not? And I'm like, I respond like WTF. I'm like, Oh my God, I forgot. How could you forget? You know, like, I feel like you opened Pandora's box and the poison of the play comes out again. And I was like, here it comes.  Like I did something in the universe to warrant this happening again, and now I have to play with it.You know, one of the things it's something I think about a lot too Travis and a couple like friends of mine, I've learned all of it. Like, so obviously, you know, and I know Jordan, by the way, I love his show. By the way, if you guys haven't listened to Jordan Harbinger, go check them out. Um, uh, Jim Kwik, right?So Jim's a really good friend of mine, all about mindset. And I love when Jim teaches things like people like how to remember a hundred days, how to remember a hundred names. How do I remember a hundred names? But I think one of the secrets about being a connector or one of the secrets about being in good relationships is being an active. listener. And it's not the have to remember, like, one of the things that I do is I never try to remember everything. I try to remember something unique. Nobody else would pay attention to about somebody like what their favorite dog treat was, or like what their, you know, the name of theiryou know, kid's favorite movie was there like some random thing. That's so easy for me to remember because it's so random and it feels so important about them because everybody else tell me how much money you make. Tell me what your business is. Tell me how you can, you know, pull those levers. And so I combined like. The knowledge of like four of my friends. So Jim teaches the memory stuff and then Steve's another really good friend of mine.I love what Steve says. So like you and I get off a call, right. And by the way, I did this with you because I had to, the moment we got off the call, I remember what we talked about. I went in my calendar and I sent three reminders in the future. And I made one note about what we talked about. That was it.And so I made a note and I was like, Hey, follow up a Travis ride. I was like, I know he's in Vegas. You gotta let him know I'm going there. Like, I, I wrote down, it took me like two seconds and I just wrote it down and then it ended up working out perfectly I do on the podcast. So Steve's like always like always take a note and just set a reminder to follow up with people.And so what I did is I, I took this one step further and I've, I've never shared this, but every time I get on a call with somebody like coming to do work with, or I'm doing business with the moment I get off the call pre-write and schedule three emails in the future, schedule them all that day. And so one goes like a week later, like, Hey, just far, I'm super glad we connected another one, like a month later. And then like three months later and I make them really evergreen, like just a, Hey checking in on you like Dean Jackson, nine word style. And then Jesse, Itzler. Said this a long time ago. And one of Jessie's biggest hacks is like, we all know, like I just had a monk on the podcast and his favorite quote of mine was like, if you can't shit without your phone, you're not living.And  I loved it. Right. Like, it was like the best moment it's wisdom. And I was like, hearing him say it, like, you know, turned my heart and then made me feel guilty at the same time. And I was like, okay, cool. So now there's times I intentionally shit without my phone, but now the rest of it, Jessie's like, Do yourself a favor. We all have plenty of pockets. Are we get in the endless scroll of Instagram? I'm on YouTube or whatever. He's like stop. And yeah, he's like when about, you're about to go there, open your phone, open your phone to an app and send three video messages or three texts messages to anybody that you have just check in.And that's it. Yeah, I do that every day and the results are absolutely mind blowing.  I don't know, there was some little things that like have come up for me years of doing this. Cause like I used to overcomplicate it right out, send like handwritten cards and Burt and nobody cares. They just want to know that you're thinking about it, that you're in a relationship and it always tends to open up the universe.TRAVIS:  well, that's exactly right. It tends to open up the universe we needed to because you, a lot of people try to try to, you know, avoid digging their wells thirsty. And that is the opposite  of how to have good relationships. You know, it's like if somebody hits you up after like nine years, you've not, you haven't talked in a really long time.Your first inclination is like, okay, this person's either about to like talk to me about, you know, Jesus or talk to me about their new supplement that they sell with, you know, EMA or whatever company hasn't been shut down by the FTC. You know what I mean? Like there's, there's something, there's some reason that they're reaching out and they're usually right. It's usually like you get so many of those pitches of people , that are like, obviously just sent out. You know, a thousand messages to their entire 1000 Facebook friends that they have. And all of them say more or less the same exact thing cause they're trying this numbers game thing, it just doesn't work.You have to dig your well before you're thirsty. And like that is exactly, you don't know when you're going to need relationships in your life. You don't know. And the software is a really good example for me on that, because the first few years when I was doing my podcast, I didn't know exactly what I was doing. I just knew that I liked podcasting on. I wanted to build an audience around this whole idea of building relationships and using your network and creating an environment that makes you a better person and all that kind of stuff. And I didn't know when I was talking a lot of these guests want, when they're I was interviewing them that one day I was going to reach out to them about this new software that I'm launching.And I wanted to see if they'd be willing to come on board as one of the launch guests, don't worry. It's totally free. All that kind of stuff. I didn't know. I, that, that was not in my thought process at the time. It was just cultivating a relationship when I reached out to other people and made some connections here and there like that, those weren't because I was thinking, man, one of those.You know, when I launched that software  in a year, you know, it's going to be amazing because I'll be able to have all these people to call back on it. Like you didn't think about it. You just, if you continually add value without trying to expect something in return, then you're building up a bank of relationship capital, just like you're building up a bank of Actual capital. And if you go to, if you have a price problem, if you have an issue, you have an emergency come up and there's no money in your bank account, then you go negative in your bank or you have to put it on a credit card and then you're in debt. You know what I mean? And saying, it's the same thing with relationships.If you don't have enough relationship capital in that bank account, so to speak, then when, by the way, when you have that problem, come up. When you have that emergency where you're like, man, I need, I need some help. I need some support from the people in my life. Your account's overdrawn. Yeah. What do you do now?You know what I mean? That's when you start reaching out to all these people and asking for these favors, when you haven't talked to them in seven years and it's just like, wait, what, Oh, you have a kid now. No way. That's crazy. You know what I mean? You know? So, so you got, yeah, you got to dig your well before. You're thirsty. Cause I mean, that's the only way that it's ever beneficial is if you just keep. Adding value to people's lives without really ever expecting anything and understanding that that's really the only way that it's even going to benefit you anyway. Um, and another good example would be Jordan.I don't know if you know the story, but basically he was with art of charm. The, the show that he had for a decade, really bad business dealings, he exited the partnership. And had to literally like literally they were, they were getting two, 3 million downloads a month, something like  that entire, you know, email, his customer list.All these things that the company kept Jordan had started over from scratch had zero things. The only thing that he had in his corner was his network. Yep. And he started that show at the beginning of 2018. Now in 2020, he has completely eclipsed the heyday of art of charm, our terms down to like to lower downloads as they've ever been before. And Jordan's show is  higher than double than what are charms heyday was just because he did the work for us over a decade of just putting work into relationships, adding value to people, and then the day that he needed some help. The day were like everything that he was working on got totally screwed over and he had to start from scratch.He had people that he could call and say, Hey man. I mean, I need a favor,you know, I, I need something and, and all those people that he had supported throughout all the years were eager, chomping at the bit to help this guy out because he had been so helpful to so many throughout his career. So, it's just such a big lesson.If you go into it, trying to help people expecting that you're going to get something from it. It has the opposite effect on you, you know, instead of just going in and just being how you can help out. And, you know, Zig Ziglar said it best when he said, if you help enough people get what they want, you can have everything that you want. And so if you're not giving the results that you want in life, maybe start thinking about like really do a real analysis, a deep dive on what you're doing, what your daily tasks are. What's your monthlygoals are all those types of things and ask yourself like, how many people am I helping by doing this?And if the answer was me, then you're, that's probably why you're not getting enough results because you're not doing anything that's actually intrinsically helpful to other people. That's how the market. You know, pays you that your paycheck is directly correlated to how many people you're helping and how effectively you're helping them.GEORGE:   It actually says in my Facebook header that accompany success is directly correlated to the amount of value they add on people's lives. Like that's where their financial success comes from. And  I think it was like one of the, a personal development coach I had like 10 years ago.I was in that like my whole life is ending.I just got out of 12 years of combat, like right. And like legitimate feelings. But I always felt frozen and she's like the fastest path just to give away what you want to get. And like, like that thing still carries so much weight for me to this say like when I'm stuck and I don't know what to do, like just go give it away. Like go give away energy, go give away positivity, but it's always about service. And I don't think there's any way to lose that game. And, you know, you said something that I think is really, really, really, really important before we wrap the episode. Andthis was something that it took me a long time to learn, but like, they don't take their well to their thirsty and all of these things like with relationships, right?If you do a relationship bad at burns a bridge that you can't rebuild it. Right. But when you do a relationship, right, or at least neutral, you improve upon the silence. You keep that bridge. Like every time Manhattan builds a new bridge, they don't knock the other ones down. That's why there's 21 of them. And you always want to have those avenues to lean into it doesn't mean you're going to have to drive over it. Like if you're going to Manhattan every day, you can only drive in on one bridge and out on one bridge, but you have those options. And that's how I tend to like, think about relationships and it's so powerful, man.Like, I have so much validation right now. Like in my soul hearing you speak about this stuff, like, it just makes my heart happy. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like this is like a fusion of dopamine I needed today. Like it was one of those mornings. And so no, I absolutely love it. So. Quick question. So and just so everybody knows the best place to find track that's cause you can find them anywhere. Just Google his name his podcast. Amazing. But his Instagram is that Travis Chappell? TRAVIS:  Yep. Yep. Yeah. Just first and last name first. GEORGE:  Yeah, I was going to say it's 2:00 PM. I was about to say that. Who else? So it's Travis Chappelle with two  and two L.but you know, for everybody listening, right? Like just to wrap the episode, you know, like if there was a piece of parting advice, something that they could focus on today, something that would help move the needle in their life based on anything, you know, that we talked about, like what would those parting words of wisdom be? Like, if, if it was your last message to my audience, what would it be?TRAVIS:  Yeah, sure, man. I would say one of the principles, overarching principles that's helped me in my life in general, in all things. It's not just my business, not just my network is,  taking radical responsibility.and I think that that's just a big principle in life that we're watching it unfold before us in our, the grand scheme of the politics in our country right now.And I'm not gonna talk about a bunch of politics or anything, but the reason that I bring that up is that it comes from the site. A lot of the issues that we have stems from this idea that other people are responsible for the things that happen in our lives, which is the opposite of the truth. And it's a losing game. If you truly believe that you are not responsible and other people are responsible, then everything's always out of your control. It means you have no ability to change things that are happening in your life and the things that are coming to you , at a later date in your life. And if that's the lot that you've accepted, then there's nowhere to go from here. And you may as well just do nothing and exist forever because like why even try if you can't change any of those things. And so it starts with taking radical responsibility and by the way, responsibility and faults are two different things because some people will be like, Oh, you know, well, what about my dad? You know, he died when, uh, you know, he died when I was 16 from cancer. And it's like, okay, well, that's not your fault. There's a big difference. But it was your responsibility to now deal with the problem and say, Hey, what do I need to do moving forward?Now that has to be come your responsibility and there's a , big difference between those two things. And I'm not trying to be insensitive here, but I am saying that once you start taking responsibility for everything that happens in your lifefor all of us, things that you have control over.Once you start taking responsibility for that, you're gonna start, you're gonna start just noticing that the world unfolds with risk with with opportunity, that opportunity abounds and that there's nothing that's preventing you from taking advantage of those opportunities except for you and your own belief that it's not possible. Take taking radical responsibility, man. And that would be the thing I would like to leave everybody with.GEORGE:  This is the podcast that I needed, but it is now. And that was so true for me. This was the one I wanted and it turned into one that I needed. And man, it's absolutely, it's an honor to have you on the show for everybody listening.Please go check out Travis, a Google on it, check them out on, Google him on Instagram.

Go check that platform out. Cause it's a pass. It's a platform as a service as Travis is going to corn. That one now. So man, thank you for being here and, it's always been a pleasure. So for anybody listening, remember that relationships always beat algorithms and I will see you guys in the next show.

Since this is the Dream Big Podcast, Eva spends a lot of time talking about themes like setting goals, working hard, and being confident.   But we understand that achieving big dreams alone is not nearly as satisfying or fulfilling as sharing the journey with those you love -- both your family and close friends.   At a family dinner a few weeks ago, Eva mentioned that we should talk more about how to make and keep great friends.  And then just a few days later we heard Jesse Itzler, founder of Build Your Life Resume, talking about the 3 Cs of being a great friend.  He credits the 3 Cs for his success both in personal and business relationships.  Jesse’s framework is so simple to follow and implement that Eva decided to share it with all the Big Dreamer’s in this week’s episode.  Tune in to discover the 3 Cs and how they can transform the relationships in your life!   Thank you Jesse for the wonderful insight, as always!   Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/212

In today’s episode, Eva shares a concept that our family learned from an incredible man by the name of Jesse Itzler.   If you follow Jesse on social media, you know that he is always smiling, always laughing, and always having epic experiences.   This is no accident -- Jesse is committed to building what he calls a “Life Resume.”  Not the traditional resume that most people think about that lists your work experience when you are applying for a job, but a resume that reflects all the amazing and unique experiences you have created in your life.  Jesse’s personal life resume is chock-full of unique experiences that the vast majority of people would, quite frankly, not voluntarily sign up for…  Like the time Jesse invited a Navy Seal to live in his house for 31 days to push him to his mental and physical limits.  But Jesse is not encouraging his community to copy his resume -- but instead to build your own life resume that you can look back and marvel at one day.   Jesse’s concept of a Life Resume has deeply impacted our entire family -- including Eva and our youngest daughter Sophia who have both adopted this mindset of seeking out new skills and new adventures.  Eva shares in this episode how she has already started to build out her Life Resume, how she continues to do so even during this pandemic, and how having the “Build Your Life Resume” mindset leads to actually scheduling epic experiences and making them happen.      Links are in the show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/206  

What is the secret sauce to Jesse Itzler’s phenomenal success? His grit? His zen-like focus? Or maybe his utter lack of self-doubt?  Jesse is a rapper, author, and founder of The 100 Mile Group and Marquis Jets. The 100 Mile group is the brand incubator behind Zico Coconut water. And Marquis Jets, the world’s largest private jet-card company was acquired by Warren Buffet’s NetJets in 2010.

Jesse Itzler does not negotiate his goals. He’s the author of the New York Times bestsellers, Living with a Seal and Living with the Monks, the cofounder of Marquis Jet, the world's largest private jet card company which he and his partner sold to Berkshire Hathaway/NetJets, and he also partnered with Zico coconut water, which he and his partner sold to The Coca-Cola Company. On top of everything else, he’s also an owner of the Atlanta Hawks NBA team! Clearly, Itzler has never shied away from prioritizing personal growth and adventure.  “If you don’t prioritize adventure,” he says, “You get a calendar filled up with responsibilities and appointments.” These days, he’s helping others to prioritize adventure and to “build their life resumes” with his 29209 Everesting events. He and his team literally bring Everest and 29,000 feet of vertical climbing to mountains across the United States. Part “Burning Man,” part “Ironman,” these weekend adventures are all about satisfying that hunger we all have for experience, challenge and growth.  While we all may not aim to literally climb Everest, this episode contains a mountainful of actionable steps that will inspire you to begin fixing the things that may be broken in your life to find the hero within.  Whether it’s the plant-strong food on your plate or your morning movement ritual, learning to start your day with small wins and creating one winning habit or behavior a month not only set a positive tone for the day, but also accelerate your success and happiness.  What can be a better investment than that?   Episode Resources: 29029 Everesting Jesse Itzler Website   Know your numbers!  Plant-Strong has partnered with the nation’s leader in direct-to-consumer lab testing.  For a list of recommended tests and a money-saving bundle, visit our website.

About 99 percent of the people who start marathons in the United States finish them. That's an astoundingly high number considering the pain and turmoil that every marathon runner faces. What each runner has in common, says author Jesse Itzler, is that they hit a wall where their mental resources are exhausted. At this point, sheer physical will maintains their strength — and this is the will that everyone has, but we seldom know how to tap into it. Itzler's way to break through his own mental barriers was to invite a Navy SEAL to live with him and his family for a month. First item on the agenda? Doing over 100 pull-ups. The lesson wasn't about physical fitness, but about mental fitness and how we each have an unused reservoir of strength and determination inside of us.

Brilliant minds inspire others, who inspires you?  I reached out to my recent guests and created a show that takes a look at the question, "who inspires us" and one thing I found out is we have a lot in common. In this episode, you'll see a recurring theme our families and thought leaders like Sara Blakely, Jesse Itzler, Marie Forleo, Gary Vaynerchuk are inspiring us on a daily basis.  Who inspires me?  To be honest, it's everybody who's going out there, pushing through and breaking down those walls in taking steps forward, to do their best to be their best. It's really about being the best and beautiful you that you can be.  #kickintheyes 

We are always on the lookout for fun and unique stories to illustrate important life lessons.  And recently we stumbled across a video online of Jesse Itzler sharing his experience inviting a Navy Seal to live with his family for 31 days and following his every command.   Now, here’s the catch. Jesse did this voluntarily. And the man he invited is none other than David Goggins -- who many regard as the world’s toughest man. David is the only member of the U.S. Armed Forces to complete SEAL training (including two Hell Weeks), the U.S. Army Ranger School (where he graduated as Enlisted Honor Man) and Air Force Tactical Air Controller training.  David also once held the Guinness record for most pull-ups in a single day and has run over 60 ultra-marathons. Why would Jesse (the owner of the NBA Atlanta Hawks who has enough money to never have to work another day in his life) decide to invite David into his home and subject himself to the most intense workouts imaginable? Well in this episode, Eva shares some of the hilarious stories from Jesse’s experience, and most importantly, explains WHY Jesse made this decision. This is a really fun episode that you will love listening to as a family, and Eva even issues a mini-challenge at the end!  For show notes, please visit DreamBigPodcast.com/167

In this first episode of 2019, I read a chapter from a wonderfully thought-provoking book by Jesse Itzler called ‘Living with the Monks’ in which he narrates his decision to go on a month-long retreat to overcome his addiction to his mobile phone and the frenetic pace of his life. Itzler is also a believer in the importance of having a ‘life resume’ which is something I’ve talked about previously on this site. I also explain why there has been a hiatus in producing resources on this site and how I aim to approach ‘tests of Life’ in 2019 - enjoy!

Most of us are stuck in a routine. We do the same thing every morning – whether it's waking up with our families, getting a workout in or heading straight to work – it usually doesn't vary much. Jesse Itzler caught himself in this trap. Itzler cofounded Marquis Jet (which sold to Warren Buffet), helped to pioneer Zico coconut water (which sold to Coca-Cola) and currently owns the Atlanta Hawks. In his spare time, he runs ultramarathons. He is not someone you would categorize as needing to “shake things up” or get more fit. But that's not how he saw it. He knew he needed a change. So, like any normal person, Itzler went down to the local gym and hired a trainer, right? Wrong. Instead, he cold-called a former Navy SEAL – and probably the toughest man alive – David Goggins. He asked Goggins to live with him and his family for 30 days. Wait, what? Itzler wrote about the experience in his book, “Living With A Seal.” I read it so you don't have to. Here are 9 ways that Itzler's decision can help you break through to the next level. “Most of my successes in life have come from learning how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Like I said, I just want to get better.” - Jesse Itzler Listen Here: iTunes Google Play Stitcher Sign up for the weekly Millennial Momentum Newsletter. No BS, All hustle

A $160,000 lesson about brownies, 2 death-defying mountain climbs, countless hours inside of saunas, and 31 days with a hardcore Navy SEAL—all these moments taught Jesse Itzler the “how-to’s” of entrepreneurship.

Jesse Itzler is a big believer in checking the box and moving on. When he gets a win, he will only celebrate for a night or two, then will think about what's next. To build your life resume is to do as many things as you can. This means finding the next project rather than celebrating the success of the last one. This clip is from Freedom Fast Lane Live in December 2016, hosted in Austin, Texas. Ryan speaks to Jesse on his achievements and challenges in front of a live audience. When discussing Zico coconut water, Jesse talks about the emotional connection he had with the product and how he wanted to share the benefits with the world. After partnering with them to make it hot, Coca-Cola bought the company a few years later. He says that his biggest challenge in being a dad is recognizing that his kids are on their own journey. Jesse and his wife try to expose them to things which are hard, which they might fail at. There is a valuable lesson in letting your kids see things you do which are hard but rewarding. It creates a new definition of failure, that celebrates the trying rather than the outcome. Jesse says you have to be appreciative every day of how far you've come. When he is faced with a new project, he thinks about how much time he has left on this earth and weighs up the time and reward vs the aggravation. His advice to anyone starting out in business is “pick good friends, pick good mentors, and never stop”. See more great talks like this at this year's Freedom Fast Lane Live.

In this episode, we get back to the basics. No guest, just the 2 Dudes hanging out and talking about a topic very important to us: self-discipline. Living with a disability is often frustrating. Maybe that's an understatement. When so many normal daily activities are impossible, or at least difficult, to do independently, we are tempted to develop a victim's mindset. But that's not who we are, and that's not who you are. The key to unlocking your own greatness is self-discipline. Sean has a great way of visualizing self-discipline. He imagines that our ideal self asks us if doing whatever we are doing at the moment, helps us advance to where we want to be. An example he uses is if we want to look great for the summer, will eating whatever we're going to eat or skipping the next workout or going to the gym right now help us get there? Kyle talks about a great book he recently read called Living with a SEAL. In it, an ordinary man trains with a Navy SEAL for a month, after seeing the SEAL compete in an ultra-marathon. In the harsh cold of winter, the book details the grueling training sessions, mixed in with a lot of laughs. The book serves as a perfect example of what it looks like to behave according to self-discipline. There are many areas that both of us want to be better in - so as we get close to the one-year anniversary, we invite you to join us in trying to better ourselves! The first thing we are doing is comprising a list of 5 things each. These are the 5 most important lessons we've learned in life. We want to hear yours too! So reach out to us at thedudes@twodisableddudes.com. We look forward to hearing your lessons! We're also starting the 2DD Push-up Challenge. We (Kyle and Sean) are going to do 100 push-ups everyday for a month. Keep track of our progress here: http://twodisableddudes.com/2dd-challenges/. And feel free to join us! We're also going to be logging what we eat for the next 30 days. Join us or track our progress here: http://twodisableddudes.com/2dd-challenges/ Self-discipline is all about making your future self proud of the actions you are taking now. So, no time for excuses. Be the best version of yourself right now!

10,752 is the number Jesse Itzler had at the time of this interview, and on each of these he challenges himself to hack his mind into living a more productive and meaningful life. How do you get the most out of each day? Challenge yourself. Itzler believes in immersing himself in new worlds, changing his frame of reference. He turned over his life for a month to an ultra running Navy SEAL. This interview is so engaging we made Jesse Itzler keep talking with us all the way to our next meeting! Lessons: 1. Remember your mortality to gain an appreciation for life.
 2. All the best lessons are from things that are challenging.
 3. Immerse yourself in a different culture to create a different frame of reference.

Episode 167 - Jesse Itzler used to leave funny outgoing messages on his answering machine back in college. They were so good , they went viral, the old school way. Pre-Internet, people would tell friends, who would tell friends, who would tell more friends. This led him to a record deal with Delicious Vinyl. To many people, landing a record deal is THE dream. Like, we got a DEAL, MAN! This, however, was just the beginning for Jesse. Jesse and Matt discuss how landing this deal led a lot of cool business doings in Itzler's life including: Creating music and video content for NBA (and other sports) teams. Co founding Marquis Jets, the first private jet company allowing customers to "rent" versus "own". Becoming part owner of The Atlanta Hawks There is a lot to be learned in this episode from a successful man who doesn't seem to stress about any of it. (They ran out of time before Matt could even ask about co-founding Zico Water or Jesse's new book "Living with a Seal", so hopefully there will be a part two.)

Episode 069: Jesse Itzler – Taking Risks, Selling For Millions, Living With A (Navy) SEAL, Married To A Billionaire Jesse Itzler is an incredibly interesting person.  Despite all of his (massive) success, he’s one of the most down to earth people I’ve ever spoken with.  This conversation felt like I was reconnecting with an old friend.  I absolutely loved it. Jesse cofounded Marquis Jet, the world’s largest prepaid private jet card company in 2001, which he and his partner sold to Berkshire Hathaway/NetJets. He then helped pioneer the coconut water craze with Zico coconut water, which he and his partners sold to The Coca-Cola Company in 2013. He is a former rapper on MTV and he produced both the NBA’s Emmy Award-winning “I Love This Game” music campaign and the popular New York Knicks anthem “Go NY Go.” When he is not running ultra-marathons or being a dad to his three kids, Jesse can be found at the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks games, where he is an owner of the team. He is married to Spanx founder Sara Blakely whom Forbes listed as one of the “100 most powerful women in the world.” Forbes labeled her as the one of the richest self-made American Woman with a net worth of $1.1 Billion. Most recently, Jesse has written a new book titled, “Living With A SEAL.”  When Jesse felt himself drifting on autopilot, he hired a rather unconventional trainer to live with him for a month-an accomplished Navy SEAL widely considered to be "the toughest man on the planet"!  Lebron James says the book is “Hilarious!” Episode 069: Jesse Itzler – Taking Risks, Selling For Millions, Living With A (Navy) SEAL, Married To A Billionaire Subscribe on iTunes  or Stitcher Radio “I am a huge fan of Sara.  When the light is shining bright on her, I’m her #1 fan.  And the same way when it’s shining on me.  Sara is 50% Einstein and 50% Lucille Ball.” – Jesse Itzler describing the relationship with his self-made billionaire wife, Sara Blakely "Jesse is a risk taker and is always trying different things to get better.  Plus, he fun's to go out with." – Tom Brady, New England Patriots Four-Time Super Bowl Champion The Learning Leader Show Some Questions I Ask: What are the common characteristics of high achievers?
