Today my guest is a gentleman who represents the opportunities that still exist for people who are willing to dream big and take action. He came from a small town in Michigan, is a former rapper, is a current entrepreneur, and has a superpower that allows him to get aligned with powerful and inferential leaders across multiple industries. He and I met a few months back at a local real estate meet-up hosted by Ryan Zolan and immediately I could feel positive energy vibrating off from him. We got to talking and I learned that he headed the marketing for Dean Graziosi and Tony Robbins during the launch Knowledge Broker Blueprint program which was actually one of the first digital courses I ever purchased. In today's episode, we are going to dive into his origin story, learn what it was like coming from a small town, how he made the transition into a new marketplace, the importance of proximity to the right people, What difference does marketing make in a business, the mindset needed to grow and thrive in a fast-changing environment, and what he is currently working on today with Ryan Zolan and The Launch of Investor Agent.
This week we sit down with John Cahalan from XOi technologies. Coming up in a family with a background in manufacturing, John got his start in the small Florida town of Lakeland and began his professional career like so many others (almost). He was awarded a scholarship and attended University of Florida for Sports Management before ultimately deciding to pursue a career working with his hands. He quickly found a job in construction, then to a modular building, and ultimately ended up working in software at XOi as the Sr. Process Engineer serving the trades in a manner that he never before fathomed. We talk about the value of trade-work, the places it can take you, and the overall satisfaction in life that can be realized with a little hard work and a hands-on approach. John is a prime example of how a career in the trades can lead to the most rewarding paths you never knew were there. Enjoy! . . . Connect with us on Instagram!

The team from Eger Advantage stopped by our booth at the Restaurant Facility Management Association's annual conference in Austin, Texas to talk about why companies exhibit at trade shows. We also went into trade show strategies and some lessons they've learned in their 2-5 years attending the conference. This year Eger had a different objective: Looking to build relationships that have synergy and offer a deeper value proposition than just their products. It's amazing what you can learn but just asking honest questions, have a listen! . . . Connect with us on Instagram!

He found a knack for HVAC and worked his way up from trade school to technician to business owner and now sells freon for Bluon. He is living his version of success every passing day.

Some people do it for the money, some do it for the fame, few do it to avenge the name of their great great ancestors. Such is the case with Brady Hale, who has found success in the trades after coming from a "white collar" job as a banker. He decided to shift gears, work with his hands, and move through the ranks in the commercial cooking equipment repair trade and now commercial HVAC/R. Everything he has done so far was all to lead him to where he's at today, being able to start his own business, as his great ancestors did, and live his own definition of success. Brady and Josh discuss the grand "why" and how the trades enable the achievement of that! . . . Connect with us on Instagram!

No matter what your definition of success is, it can be realized through what most consider to be blue collar work. The truth is that, with a little hard work and determination, a career in the trades can give you all the same things as a college education, and more. Whether you define success as time off, traveling, money, or just feeling accomplished at the end of every day, you can achieve it in this field. Tyson is a perfect example of how the trades can literally take you anywhere. As a heavy equipment mechanic and working in mining, he got a pay raise to spend 2 years in his dream destination of Alaska. Then, to the beautiful state of Colorado. . . .

Jake Syreini from Sore Joints and Twitches Podcast calls in to the show
I've been a little different my entire life. The reason this podcast is named Sore Joints and Twitches is because when I was 1o years old I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis during the same year. This is the story of how I became the guy I am today and how I'm going to use who I am to develop who I'm going to be. This is a swapcast with the podcast I co-host at my day job at Windy City Equipment in Phoenix, Arizona. The other podcast is called the Perception Evolution Project by WCE and can be found at soundcloud.com/perceptionevolutionproject ____ For updates on all of my vlogs, podcasts and everything social media, check out the full website at www.JakeSyreini.com FOLLOW ME: Facebook: www.facebook.com/jsyreini Instagram: www.instagram.com/jakesyreini906 LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jakesyreini906 Podcast: www.soundcloud.com/sorejointsandtwitches and iTunes Snapchat: JakeSyreini906 www.JakeSyreini.com
