In redraft leagues, most users are active during the draft time and the season, not to mention the users that give up because their team did terrible for whatever reason. In normal dynasty leagues, you will find more activity during the NFL's downtime, but there are still several quiet months in most leagues, though there are some fun ones out there. The site also talked about feeling like a real NFL GM, and I have to say they absolutely nailed it. Before joining Dynasty Owner, going through an actual offseason, I envied sports GMs' jobs, which is no longer the case. I can already see that every off-season here on Dynasty Owner will be filled with massive decisions to make with all the new player contracts each year and owners scrambling to get under the cap causing massive amounts of trades and cuts. There are so many ways you can go about building your team and attacking the draft here on Dynasty Owner. The other goal I wanted to get out of this is for those who are new to hear an in-depth look from someone who is still new to a dynasty. The game of Dynasty Owner is filled with tough decisions, and you must always have some plan going into things, but as Derek has proved, even as a dynasty newcomer, it's possible to succeed and have a lot of fun in this format. If this interests you, please feel free to contact one of the Dynasty Owner members on Twitter, and we will be glad to get you set up. I hope you all enjoyed this one as much as I did, and as always, good luck on your 2021 Chase for the Ring! - Jay-------------------------------------------------------What is Dynasty Owner? Dynasty Owner is not your average fantasy football. We use real NFL contracts and salaries in our game so when something changes here in the real world it affects your team for the year. With a challenge of the salary cap and keeping your team under it, you get the feeling of what it's like to run a business and see your team get rewarded when they win.Learn more today at www.dynastyowner.com and come see what we are all about.-------------------------------------------------------Connect with Dynasty Owner:Visit us on the web -- https://www.dynastyowner.comFollow us on Twitter -- @Dynasty_OwnerFollow on Facebook - www.facebook.com/DynastyOwnerFantasySports

Booby-Trapped In the week's episode, I discuss why the path of least resistance is always booby-trapped. This is true in areas of war and all areas of life. The wish is that that path to success is a straight line. The reality is that the line is rarely straight, and it requires grit and determination and advanced navigating skills. Eco-Challenge ~ Adventure Racing ~ Military ~ YOU Weight Loss: The hack, the quick fix, the fad, the magic pill, or potion ~ the bright shiny object. We know that the only real formula for weight loss or overall quality health is committed consistency to the basics. The basics are boring to most people. And when humans get bored and lazy, they get complacent, and complacency leads to looks for a shortcut or the path of least resistance. In war, this is when you end up dead. Money: The get rich quick scam, the pyramid, the MLM, the gold mine in Arizona that sounds too good to be true. All of the above will leave you broke and jobless. Relationships: The lousy relationship you know isn't right (the settler), the vacation tender hook-up that you think is the real thing, that stripper from Vegas who keeps DM'ing you to come to the club. All of the above will leave you broke, alone, and living in your mom's spare bedroom when you're 40. Follow the basic rules of survival. If it's too good to be true, then it's too good to be true. The path of least resistance is always lined with booby traps. Create your path with consistent, committed, focused, and intentional actions. This is the right way to succeed. It's the only way to succeed. There is a Nick Saban quote that I think about often: Average players want to be left alone. Good players want to be coached. Great players want to be told the truth. Using that quote as the analogy, it's the average players that look for and take the path of least resistance. And it's the great players that create the path. Well, what about the good player's Jay? What path do they take? The coachability of a good player makes them smart enough to follow the great players on the path they've created. It goes back to the statement that success leaves clues.

KQuick explains how to become a successful music producer, going from selling $20 an hour studio time in his dorm room to 2x Platinum/Grammy Nominated record producer, working with major artists like Chris Brown, Nelly, Jeremih.  KQuick's Bio: Kaleb “KQuick” Rollins is a Multi-Platinum Grammy-nominated songwriter/producer/engineer raised in the Roxbury section of Boston, Massachusetts who currently resides in New York City, USA. KQuick discovered his affinity for music at the young age of 14. Under the mentorship of renowned producer/artist Ryan Leslie, he honed his skills as a producer and a songwriter, landing placements on a Grammy Nominated album while in college. After graduating from New York University’s Clive Davis Institute Of Recorded Music, KQuick has worked with artists including Chris Brown, J Cole, Nelly, Jeremih, Alessia Cara, Queen Naija and Bas. He has also written and produced songs for numerous placements in film and television, including scoring a Sundance Film Festival short film selection. Now signed with Sony ATV as a writer and producer alongside his business partner Marc Soto as production-duo/band ClickNPress, KQuick is busy developing a sound for the current and next generation of music creatives. High Level Discussion Flow: K Quick’s Origin Story Making Music Your Career You’re “in” the Music Biz - Now What?  Behind The Music Biz - Major Labels + Technology Disruption Building a Brand (as a producer) Important Links: KQuick - Instagram KQuick - Twitter Musicians in Tech - Instagram Musicians in Tech - Twitter Musicians in Tech - LinkedIn KQuick's Baseball Card Stats: Singer/Songwriter/Producer/Engineer/Musician - how many instruments do you play?  Video Director / Producer Signed to Sony-ATV Publishing - writer/producer Credits: Chris Brown J Cole Ryan Leslie Nelly Jeremih TV / Film Gaetano's Music Jay Lex's Music Important Takeaways: KQuick started producing with Fruity Loops in high school and learned the basics of live sound engineering in church. This was when he knew he wanted to do music for the rest of his life. KQuick says that going to school for music gave him a leg up on the competition because it taught him the mechanics and technical skills. He says you don’t need a degree to make it in the music business, but if you can afford the risk, it’s definitely worth it. KQuick says he never had a real “9 to 5” When he was at NYU he started hustling by building a small little studio and selling studio time in his dorm room for $20 an hour. He was 17 when he stopped selling beats online. Even though his sound click was getting millions of streams (NO HACKS) but he didn’t know how to leverage that to make money. After moving out of the NYU dorms, KQuick started producing artists and selling studio time out of his apartment. From there KQuick saved enough money to rent an official studio space in Brooklyn for $900. In order to make enough money to get by, HE WOULD RUN 4-5 STUDIO SESSIONS A DAY to make revenue to sustain and pay back loans and become profitable. Should you quit your day job and do music full-time? KQuick says - you need multiple revenue sources outside of music that is giving you enough to sustain. But the key to unlocking revenue is a brand strategy. Everything around the music should bring you money. Shows, merchandising, etc.  KQuick says being a one trick pony will hurt you. Specialization is good, but you need diversity in order to succeed. When are you “in the music industry” ? As soon as you make music and put it out. Take ownership of that. KQuick's first placement - Chris Brown’s “Famous Girl” with Ryan Leslie in 2009. First royalty check was 1 cent. It was so low it didn’t even pass the threshold of cutting a check. ASCAP just sent him a notification. He then got a deal with VIACOM which gave him an “aha” moment.  KQuick says the relationships are the #1 key that enabled him to produce for Chris Brown, J Cole, Nelly and others. Keeping your network fresh and doing as many favors for people as possible is what enabled him to work with “major artists.” KQuick says that working with up and comers is critical to career success - because you never know who the next big star, or next big executive will be. “When you start skipping steps is when you land somewhere you’re not ready for,  and that’s when you get knocked down and it’s a lot harder to get back up.” Popularity vs Talent - Do A&R’s need to get back to finding real talent, versus scouring for “viral” singers / rappers on Instagram and YouTube? KQuick says - the A&R’ing is happening on the creative level now. It’s producers and songwriters finding talent. You don’t have to rely on labels to tell you what’s hot anymore. It’s the other way around. The culture tells the labels what’s hot. Your Instagram should be a highlight reel of your career. Consistent and focused. Biggest problems independent musicians make is that they’re too erratic on social media, which is a symptom of poor strategy. They post too much, too often, and about too many different things. On the flip side of that, not posting enough can hurt you as well. Dreamville is the poster child example of a brand that’s leveraging Instagram the way a label or brand should be. Creativity is the most important thing about the music industry. Without the creativity, there is no industry. Without the creatives, there’s nothing to sell and nothing to buy. Making music your career: Jay - You went to NYU Tisch School of Arts and got a degree in music - most of your peers in the game didn’t go that route. What do you feel were the benefits of going that route vs the school of hard knocks that most of your peers have taken? G - What was the point when you realized you didn’t need a “9 to 5” or “day job” to support yourself. How did you make that transition to where music became your passion + your bread winner?  What advice would you give to upcoming artists who want to quit their “day job” to do music full time?  G - Music business is such a grind - many people early on take a lot of L’s and call it quits. Did you ever have that moment where you thought maybe this business wasn’t for you? You’re “in” - Now What? Jay - What was the first moment where you felt like “OK - I’m really doing this” - was there an artist or producer you were working with, a placement, etc? G - What was the amount of your first royalty or publishing check?  G - How do you even get to work with artists like J Cole and Nelly? Was it a plug? Manager? This is the holy grail for music producers. This is what every single person is trying to do. How did you beat out the thousands if not millions of other people trying to do this?  Jay - You have spent a lot of time in the studio with some pretty big names. But you continue to work with a lot of independent artists like Gaetano and myself. You’re obviously at a point in your career where you can afford to be selective - why do you continue to work with indie artists and what are the things that you look for when deciding which ones to work with? Behind The Music Biz - Major Labels + Technology Disruption G - So Quick, you have a lot of experience working with artists who are signed to major labels with record deals. From your perspective, what is the common pattern among artists who are getting signed now, vs artists who are not? In other words, what are the big companies looking for when deciding on what types of artists to sign?  Jay - On the other end of the spectrum are indie artists who now enjoy a larger platform than ever before as a result of platforms like Spotify, Soundcloud and social media i.e. Instagram, that didn’t exist 10 years ago. Talk to us about the impact that technology has had on the industry and is it truly the great “equalizer” for unsigned artists to get exposure. G - Let’s talk about popularity vs talent for artists -  there’s a lot of debate of what it means to be an “A&R” today.  Is it just a bunch of interns sitting in a label office scavenging through YouTube looking for the next big viral thing?  Is it really just all about numbers?  Or is there still some element of - “this artist has star potential, works hard and has remarkable talent. I believe we have something here that’s worth taking a shot on, despite very low followers counts / views on social media.” Building a Brand (as a producer): Jay - Aside from all the accomplishments and accolades - there is something notable about the KQuick brand.  Visually, your instagram feed has an aesthetic.  Your Tweets have a distinct style and tone.  Is this something you intentionally think about, or does it come naturally?  G - What are some of the biggest mistakes you see upcoming artists, songwriters and producers make when it comes to building a brand for themselves?  Jay - How are you doing this for your group, Click n’ Press and are there any other examples of artists in the game who are doing it right, indie or otherwise?  What’s Next? G - Quick, you’ve already done sooooo much, but we know you don’t sleep!  What are some projects you’re working on right now that you’re excited about? What’s next for you? Where do you see yourself in the next 5-10 years.  Jay - Do you have any regrets? Anything you would have done differently?  Any situations with major fuck ups on your part?  Have you ever been burned by anyone in the industry? If so, what happened?  G - What’s the #1 piece of advice you have for business leaders or entrepreneurs today who are building a brand or company, or simply striving to achieve something great in their life or career?  Jay - What’s the #1 piece of advice you have for creatives / musicians that are seeking to take their career to the next level?

Jay Leus lives with his family of three in Ymir, a small town in British Columbia Canada. The British Columbia Timber Sales (BCTS), an arm of the BC Government, has plans to log in the watershed that supplies the town's fresh drinking water. This is their only source and if it's damaged then there will be major consequences: loss of property value, relocation, community dismantling to name a few. Jay has enough passion and emotions to overrule the fact he has no special education or training to take on the task to oppose a large government organization.In this episode we learn how he and the community went about getting the first big win for the town: an agreement from BCTS to monitor the streamwater before they begin building roads and logging. We also talk about:- how a small community with an incredibly limited budget can make a huge impact- how to ask others to help you achieve your mission without having money to pay them- how to get a meeting with your politicians and how to make it successful- various strategies to take so you maintain a steady push when things get delayedand so much more. We talk about why Jay? What about him makes it possible to do this work and can anyone else do it too? Spoiler, yes, anyone can do this!Ultimately the injustice of the situation lit a fire within Jay to take action and we talk about those emotions to fuel his mission, where no other community in BC has ever stopped BCTS from logging in their watershed yet. I hope you enjoy, and remember to share with others! We need people to see it's possible to make change happen and show them how they too can get things done in their community to protect their future and the planet! Rate and review so more people see and hear of this podcast. Our future depends on it!To support the Ymir Community Watershed Society, and see the various ways you can help them maintain clean drinking water and set precedence in BC, Canada and perhaps globally, GO HERE. With so much Love, Kim

You need to keep the right company around you and in my case, the people around me were all hard working and focused, and it rubbed off on me. At University you need to be passionate about what you’re doing and achieve your goals. Jay: What are your thoughts on sales? Kavita: Business is about people, so you have to be a good people person and sales teaches you about being knocked down and trying again. It teaches you resilience and anywhere in which you can experience it teaches you a lot. Jay: What was the transition from your medical sales job to set up a business? Kavita: I got married, whilst this was amazing his family were very traditional and that meant It wasn’t right for me to go out to work. Over-time I improved in my job, transferred locations and I was on top of my game, but after maternity leave, I was turned down for a promotion and it was then I decided to leave my job and start my own business. Seeing a gap in the market for clinical audit provision, I left Bayer to set up my first company in 2001 – Oberoi Consulting. I gained my first lucrative contract with global pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and we took on over 800 practices in the first 6-months, it was a £500,000 project. Jay: Can you share some tips with the audience from your amazing career? Kavita: You must be passionate about what you choose to do, you must be focused and determined in order to achieve the things you want to achieve and, success isn’t easy you need to work hard. BEST MOMENTS “You have to make a lot of sacrifices to get to where you want to go, entrepreneurs are often quite rebellious” “If someone says you can’t do it, take it as motivation to go ahead and do it” “Anyone can be good at sales, but it’s all down to the practice” “If you have a challenge you have to engage with people and bring them around to your passion” “It’s really important to have mentors in your life, to guide you along the way” “When you give back you receive more in return” “The more patients they treated the more money they would get and their brand would grow. Their sales teams were signing up all these practises, we were just delivering and we worked on that brand for 11 years and as a result, become the go-to provider for new Pfizer licensing delivering. Now, the business has developed and with software and development we are now doing clinical audits on a mass scale, it’s been going 17 years.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.kavitaoberoi.com/ Oberoi Consulting – a major provider of healthcare support services to clients including the pharmaceutical industry and the NHS. ABOUT THE HOST Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same. From humble beginnings, Jay grew his first business from 0-500 employees and three locations, racking up sales of over £30 million – all without any investment other than a small amount of savings. The business went on to acquire major clients such as Landrover, Jaguar, Toyota and New Look, to name a few. Its huge success inevitably brought about outside interest and at the age 33 Jay eventually sold the company to a London investment firm in Doyen Resources. Today, Jay owns several businesses in different sectors and helps entrepreneurs achieve success. A calling to give back and help others led to Jay being chosen for the highly-coveted role as a Prince’s Trust mentor, where his achievements were marked by a personal invitation to Buckingham Palace to meet Prince Charles. After helping several young entrepreneurs to success as a mentor for the Trust, Jay’s burning desire to bring his wisdom and knowledge to a wider audience ultimately triggered the concept of The Business Mentor Podcast. Jay feels that anyone can achieve success in business with the right advice and mentoring and is now sharing his knowledge with his growing audience via his podcast. In the UK alone 95% of business fail within the first five years and Jay’s aim is to reduce that number. Backed with the hard-earned knowledge and experience from his time in business, The Business Mentor Podcast will share Jay’s personal business lessons as well those of other successful entrepreneur guests who share their wisdom and secrets on the show.

Welcome to another episode of the Business Mentor Podcast. In today’s episode, your host Jay Dhillion interviews author, director of national boiler installation company ImpraGas and winner of the BBC’s ‘The Apprentice’ Joseph Valente. Get inspired and hear how the 2015 Apprentice winner changed the image of an industry and dominated the competition, but firstly learn more about Joe’s humble beginnings and journey from being expelled from the classroom to winning in the billionaire boardroom. Finally, learn why you should always focus on what you've done and not on what others haven't done, and understand how to back yourself 100% of the time, and always be prepared to risk everything to go to the next level. KEY TAKEAWAYS I’m busy taking the ImpraGas business national and we now cover about 50% of the UK and have hit over £2million in revenue since buying out Lord Sugar.I’ve also been focusing on the 'The Joeseph Valente' brand. My hardworking mother gave me the inspiration and aspiration to get where I am today, but my journey really began when I was expelled from school at 15 years of age. It was then I trained to be a plumber and used my free time as an asset to work in a business, whilst leveraging my time back to get the skills and the education from them. I then took a £15,000 personal loan and ImpraGas was born. I saw a gap in the market as plumbing services were not being sold as services, the industry was reactive. So I decided to package up services and build my client base. I wanted mentorship, exposure and cash and ‘The Apprentice’ offered me all three. I asked myself am I going to risk my business to get a bigger piece of the pie? to take it for the next level? The answer is yes,  you have to risk everything in order to grow and in order to level-up. Jay: What advice would you give your younger self? Joe: You can do all of the things that you believe you can. It's important for younger people to be pushed to achieve, don't let anyone pull you off of your path. Jay: What was the best advice that you got from Lord Sugar? Joe: Always understand your margin. Don't end up becoming a busy fool and make sure you don't dilute your profit margins. BEST MOMENTS "What's the point of teaching me something I won't be good at, I know I'm not good at it so I did everything I possibly could to get out of school" “The school system is tragic and it doesn't teach you the skills you need in order to be successful. Realise that the people that are breaking out of education are the ones that are going ahead and being successful in business.” "I will risk everything to go, where I want to go and once I applied for the apprentice, I knew I had won” "The destiny I told myself was coming true. I'd convinced myself I would win and when I did, it was a relief" "I’m working hard so I can level up and reach the next stage, in business and in life" “Relationships don't last forever in business, accept that, learn from it and move on.” "Don't blame others for your failings, take responsibility and make a change" VALUABLE RESOURCES Expelled from the classroom to billionaire boardroom Lord Sugar's autobiography - What you see is what you get ABOUT THE HOST Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same.

Welcome to another episode the Business Mentor Podcast.

In this episode your host Jay Dhillon interviews Personal Branding Expert Lauren Tickner. Discover how anyone can be an entrepreneur, you don’t have to be special, you just have to take action and start in order to get the result you want. Hear the real story of Lauren Tickner’s journey to success and how is she generates multiple streams of online income. Lauren focuses on her online business helping others with their personal branding, and after building a following on social media through the fitness industry, she discovered a passion for creating freedom, mentoring and impacting the lives of others. Jay and Lauren discuss how anyone can build their personal brand no matter what age they are, you just have to put valuable content out there, consistently and connect with like-minded individuals.

Find out how to focus on connecting with people and your personal brand will naturally grow, do something you enjoy and build a tribe of raving fans. KEY TAKEAWAYS Jay: How did you come about starting your business so early on? Lauren: At age 18 I got a job in asset management for a FTSE 250 company, though the investment 2020 scheme. However, after a year I handed in my notice, because I was so keen and passionate about doing my own thing. I wanted to merge my passion and profession in the fitness industry and build my social media following up, so I started to sell fitness ebooks and it was then I knew online business was my thing. Jay: Did you learn anything relevant at University? Lauren: Probably accountancy, but  University is no longer enough and your personal brand now can be your personal CV. When I discovered mentors, I saw how they can help and how they can give you more freedom. So I constantly surround myself with people in a position I want to be in, like-minded individuals. Jay: Where did your first six figures come from? Lauren: Initial it came from selling fitness ebooks whilst at university, but I realised that I needed multiple streams of income so I started building my social following, I did this by constantly adding value to my audience, I was posting three times a day, engaging and  valuable content. I then started to target ‘high flyers’ or influences and sold an online fitness course, I targeted a niche and sold them a product relevant to them. But anyone can do this you can run facebook ads or instagram ads and provide value to people. Jay: What are your goals moving forward? Lauren: I’m working on helping others even more, I’m focused on mentorship and personal branding, a 12-month programme with actionable step-by-step advice. People need a strong foundation before monitising and by drip feeding information I can help them do that. BEST MOMENTS   There’s so much power in doing your own thing, and having freedom.

VALUABLE RESOURCES #006 The Business Mentor Podcast - An interview with Grant Cardone #008  The Business Mentor Podcast - Creating a Profitable Business in 30 Days with Luca Gallone The Millionaire Podcast - Lauren Tickner The Business Meets Fitness Podcast - Lauren Tickner ABOUT THE HOST Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same. From humble beginnings, Jay grew his first business from 0-500 employees and three locations, racking up sales of over £30 million – all without any investment other than a small amount of savings. The business went on to acquire major clients such as Landrover, Jaguar, Toyota and New Look, to name a few. Its huge success inevitably brought about outside interest and at the age 33 Jay eventually sold the company to a London investment firm in Doyen Resources. Today, Jay owns several businesses in different sectors and helps entrepreneurs achieve success. A calling to give back and help others led to Jay being chosen for the highly-coveted role as a Prince’s Trust mentor, where his achievements were marked by a personal invitation to Buckingham Palace to meet Prince Charles. After helping several young entrepreneurs to success as a mentor for the Trust, Jay’s burning desire to bring his wisdom and knowledge to a wider audience ultimately triggered the concept of The Business Mentor Podcast. Jay feels that anyone can achieve success in business with the right advice and mentoring and is now sharing his knowledge with his growing audience via his podcast. In the UK alone 95% of business fail within the first five years and Jay’s aim is to reduce that number. Backed with the hard-earned knowledge and experience from his time in business, The Business Mentor Podcast will share Jay’s personal business lessons as well those of other successful entrepreneur guests who share their wisdom and secrets on the show.
