Jonathon Kendall (CEO of DealRaise, COO of LeadNurture) is an investor, author, copywriter, speaker, and avid reader. He stopped by the 4Media office to discuss personal growth, becoming an author, and why taking big risks leads to big rewards. From leading college mission trips in Guatemala to becoming CEO of multiple companies, Jonathon's path to success was filled with unexpected career changes, international moves, and a lot of philosophical thinking (though that last one is partially explained through his Philosophy Degree from Michigan State). In this episode, he chats with Eddie and Andrew about the internal keys to success, why you should focus on your personal goals as much as your career goals, and how self-awareness is the true secret behind creating success.FOLLOW JONATHON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathon.kendall/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/jonkenda TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jonathonkendall DealRaise: https://dealraise.com/LeadNurture: https://leadnurture.com/   TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro01:57 - Podcast Start02:19 - Growing up in a family of coal miners05:55 - Eddie lied to his parents about his GPA18:22 - Jonathon gets invited to DC for his Voting Registration Campaign21:17 - Make a ton of money to make a ton of impact22:22 - Thought experiment - How many times can you fold a paper in half?27:18 - Building a reputation by offering value before the sale30:37 - What Eddie wants from a mentor31:15 - The impact that Agency Founders will have on the future33:47 - Jonathon humbled Ivy League students in Guatemala38:13 - Why Culture Shock is like a Psychedelic Trip41:35 - Why Mike Tyson is one of Jonathon's favorite philosophers46:01 - Jonathon published his first novel while managing a restaurant49:16 - Why Jonathon lives the “Four Hour Work Week”50:52 - If someone listened to every podcast they could write a book about Andrew52:57 - How Jonathon discovered MentorBox56:37 - Jonathon wins a copywriting competition59:04 - How Jonathon convinced his wife to move to San Francisco1:04:16 - Grinding 24/7 was Jonathon's normal1:07:57 - Why 80 hour weeks are unsustainable1:09:06 - “Show up even when it's uncomfortable”1:12:06 - Jonathon explains why investing big money into big people pays off1:16:55 - Why streaming services should have an education section1:19:08 - Why Universities should feel threatened1:20:08 - Jonathon explains what being CEO at MentorBox was like1:23:19 - WHO YOU KNOW is more important than WHO KNOWS YOU1:24:22 - The 2 things Jonathon wished they did to grow MentorBox1:29:58 - Eddie explains what an attractive acquisition offer looks like1:32:42 - Raising capital is just like selling a new product to new leads1:36:27 - "Don't be a pansy"1:37:01 - Ironman competitors are normal people too1:40:27 - Chasing goals won't fill the emotional holes in your life1:41:47 - How getting shredded taught Eddie to push through suffering1:47:11 - You have to work with the circumstances you're given1:48:37 - Never eat junk food again, but add 5 years to your life?1:51:00 - How micro decisions impact the next 50 years1:53:00 - How to approach the devil's paradox?1:58:34 - The marshmallow test2:00:17 - Do you want to live a pleasurable life now or a longer life later?2:03:24 - Jonathon explains why self awareness is necessary to create purpose2:07:35 - How many hours of useless information have you consumed?2:10:52 - Jonathon's “F U” money goals2:15:54 - The only way to guarantee that you'll make it2:16:41 - The #1 signifier of success2:21:06 - How will you compete with technological advancements?2:27:37 - Why Artists will become the gatekeepers of entertainment2:33:37 - Jonathon is next door neighbors with the governor of Puerto Rico2:43:57 - Jonathon's two companies and how they work2:49:46 - Be realistic about what you actually want2:56:57 - Your ability to stay on the edge of the next thing is more important than skills3:02:57 - Where to follow Jonathon   FOLLOW 4MEDIA:Main YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/4mediamarketing Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNx7auVTseV865Mu1CZX0WQ Website: https://4media.marketing/Join Our Team: https://4media.marketing/jobs Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/4media.marketing/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@4media.marketing?

November MEETING. Jiunge na na SPEAKERS MENTORBOX leo 0782877970

The age of following?Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.Clearly, our being successful does not come from a vacuum, rather it is very much rooted in our thought pattern and construct, which is very much connected to what we behold daily with time as reference. We are all imitators of someone and something that we have given permission to influence us and drive us in a given direction. This may be conscious or unconscious.This ‘following' is what in my opinion I describe as mentoring, where an individual models his or her personality after someone who is perceived (actual in some cases) to occupy a position of influence based on the individual's exposure and handling of life's issues and by the reason of this, has built a platform which has created a flow of fluence, like the output of a radiation field or of a laser beam which impacts on everything within that area (field) of its influence.In this episode of ‘The Word Café Podcast', we will be dwelling on what I describe as the MentorBox. For me the shortest distance between dreaming and actualization of your dream lies within the MentorBox, were a relationship is created and there is a somewhat defined path of flow of energy from the Mentor to the Mentee all within the box in a gradient pattern of ‘from high to low' until there is a balance in terms of worth and actualization.   Support the show

“Work on your strengths and hire your weaknesses.” This is the advice today's guest shared with me as I asked him about his success tips. It's one of the best ideas I've heard and it's just one of the gems that he shared in our conversation. He has studied with some of the best entrepreneurs in the world, and I can't wait for you to hear his story. Mike Zeller is a man of many paradoxes. It's true that his businesses have done over $300 million in sales, and that he himself has founded or partnered in over 20 ventures with a heavy emphasis on social entrepreneurism. It's also true that he studied under masters of the industry such as Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson, Jay Abraham and many others. And yes—he's even mentored over 100 high-level entrepreneurs from four different continents. Mike's incredible genius lies within his innate ability to help his clients pinpoint their deepest purposes, greatest gifts, and highest potential to serve and influence the world. Using his master practitioner skills of NLP and his highest-level business training, he then weaves an intricate tapestry—showing exactly how to build a sustainable, highly-successful business, while removing unconscious emotional blocks and wounds that sabotage progress. To tie this delicate process together, he shows his clients how to find lasting fulfillment by staying in touch with their hearts and living lives of deep impact, high gratitude and lasting connection. In this episode, Mike and I talk about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, the power of quality relationships, the importance of understanding your unique genius, and how to keep going no matter what.   Here's what you will learn: How to start your journey toward success (1:27) How to find good people to match with in business (7:21) How to build a solid email list (11:39) The importance of taking breaks from being online with your business (23:48) How getting outside and traveling can spark creativity (28:50) How taking inventory of your key relationships can help you thrive (36:28) Screenshot your favorite part and post to your IG story and tag me @amberlylagomotivation and @themikezeller so we can see and repost to our stories!   Follow Mike: Facebook Instagram Linkedin Twitter Website   Mentioned in this episode: The Genius Within Abundant You with Dr. Kevin – Where Change Starts With You!

#388 So findest Du die richtigen Mentoren & Seminare Interview mit Mentorbox Gründer Alex Vallejo | Mentoring | Inspiration | Unterstützung „Persönlichkeitsentwicklung ist wie in einem Fluss zu schwimmen. Wenn Du aufhörst Dich zu bewegen, treibt es Dich irgendwo hin, wo Du nie hin wolltest.“ Alex Vallejo von der Mentorbox erklärt Dir heute, wie Du richtige Mentoren und Seminare findest! Wie Du vielleicht weißt habe ich eine Menge von meinem Mentor Kurt gelernt und er hat mich maßgeblich inspiriert, zu dem Menschen zu werden, der ich heute bin. Ich habe viele Seminare von ihm besucht und er hat mich auf meinem Weg sehr unterstützt. Gemeinsam beantworten wir diese spannenden Fragen: - Bringen große Seminare überhaupt was? - Das ist doch so unpersönlich. Kann ich da überhaupt was lernen? - Die Effekte sind doch nur kurzfristig. Im Seminar fühlt man sich super, aber danach flaut es ab.   Shownotes: Bestelle Dir hier Deine Mentorbox: https://mentor-box.de/produkt/mentorbox => Rabatt-Code: upgradeyourlife Podcast: https://mentor-box.de/podcast-2 Kontakt zu Alex: info@mentor-box.de Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mentorbox_germany/ Hast Du vielleicht noch eine Frage?

#95 - Interviewfolge 10 - Diese Folge ist sehr besonders! Denn heute haben wir Dr. Julian Hosp zu Gast im Podcast, den ersten Autor eines Buches aus unserer Mentorbox! Wir besprechen mit ihm, warum Zeit für erfolgreiche Menschen genauso wichtig ist wie Geld, warum Talent ohne Timing nichts nützt und wie man Timing erkennt. Warum es so wichtig ist, langfristig zu denken und wie das mit unserem Belohnungsdenken zusammenhängt und was Julians größtes Learning aus dem letzten Jahr war und wo er zur Ruhe kommt bei all den Themen in seinem Leben. Außerdem sprechen wir über die Frage, die sich Julian am häufigsten stellt, seine größten Learnings als Mentor für andere und mit wem er sich gerne einmal zum Abendessen treffen würde. Viel Spaß mit Teil 2 unseres tollen Gesprächs! ÜBER JULIAN: Julian war Profi-Kitesurfer, studierte Medizin und ist mittlerweile Unternehmer und der Experte für Kryptowährungen. Mit 16 zog er aus seiner Heimat Österreich in die USA, um Basketballprofi zu werden und traute sich das erste Mal, so richtig gegen den Strom zu schwimmen. Aus dem Basketball wurde zwar nichts aber es zeichnete sich früh ab, dass er gerne viel ausprobiert und so wurde er Mit 18 Jahren zum Profi-Kitesurfer und lebte den Traum eines jeden Jugendlichen. Julian wollte aber mehr vom Leben und studierte nebenbei Medizin. Als er mit 25 als Unfallchirurg tätig war und er einen Unfallpatienten vor sich liegen hatte, hatte er einen Moment in dem ihm folgendes klar wurde: Die Hölle auf Erden ist es, den Menschen zu treffen, der du hättest werden können. Und so kündigte er seinen Job und stürzte sich ins Unternehmertum indem er anfangs sehr viel ausprobierte. Mittlerweile lebt er in Asien, ist mehrfacher Buchautor, seit Oktober diesen Jahres auch stolzer Papa, ist weltweit auf Vorträgen unterwegs und vor allem Unternehmer und hat die Vision bis 2025 1 Mrd. Menschen zum Thema Blockchain aufzuklären.  Hier findest du Julian: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julianhosp/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/julianhosp Homepage: https://julianhosp.com/de/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/julianhosp Das Buch "Timehorizon": https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07R7KW8L5/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_Hd27Fb39M18EX LINKS: Du findest uns online unter: https://mentor-box.de/ & auf Instagram: www.instagram.com/mentorbox_germany/ & bei Twitter: twitter.com/mentorbox_de & bei Facebook in unserer MENTORBOX_GERMANY Gruppe: www.facebook.com/groups/2599065250377625/

#38 - Heute sprechen wir über ein Thema, das mir sehr wichtig ist. Denn auf der Welt gibt es immer mehr und mehr Informationen, mehr “Influencer”, mehr Bücher, mehr Podcasts. Alles wird mehr, aber wenn etwas mehr wird heißt es nicht, dass es besser wird. Für viele ist daraus nur eines die Folge: Mehr Überforderung! Viele Menschen brauchen in den nächsten Jahrzehnten also Leuchttürme und Vorbilder, die für Sie ein Filter sind. Auch ich als Gründer von Mentorbox möchte für dich ein Leuchtturm sein und dir nicht nur das Wissen bringen, das du wirklich benötigst im Leben sondern dir auch ein Vorbild sein in allen Lebensbereichen. Hör rein in ein neues Zeitalter, in dem Leuchttürme immer wichtiger werden für die Menschen und stell dir dann die Frage: Bist du schon ein Leuchtturm für deinen Umkreis, deine “Fans”, deine “Follower”, deine Freunde/Familie oder bist du es noch nicht?

In this episode, I share my thoughts on how this pandemic is political, and how it can be seen as a window into some of our greatest challenges as a species, both historically and going forward. I share a lot of uncomfortable truths I think many of us need to think about and hear, about how most of us are illiterate in the understanding and languages of science, technology, economics, politics, law, business and power that dominate our world, and how we need to take a good hard look at ourselves, individually and collectively, as to how we got here. I muse on just how laughably absurd so many things are, and how we need to do our best to get our information from reputable and reliable sources—rather than monolithic conspiracy theories—if we're to understand what's actually going on and do something to improve matters. And I end by sharing reasons for hope and optimism and what we can do, and what some of my favourite sources for information are, namely:  • Munk Debates and Dialogues (for important and meaningful conversations with experts, and currently focused on how coronavirus will affect our world going forward) • Future Crunch (for great news in science, tech, business, government, philanthropy, and some fun...including their coronavirus daily dozen good news stories) • Kurgesagt (one of my favourite things on the internet...amazing animated videos about science, technology, philosophy, and more) • Good Food Institute (for the future of food and food policy) • Citizen University (for understanding power dynamics and civic duty) • James Clear (for expertise in habits and behaviour) • TED Talks and NPR's Ted Radio Hour (for amazing ideas worth spreading and cutting-edge research in many fields) • Nafeez Ahmad's Insurge Intelligence (for deep-dive political investigations about the depth of the shit we find ourselves in and challenges that lie ahead) Other sources not mentioned:  • Masterclass, MentorBox, and MindValley (for great and relatively affordable online learning spaces) • Peter Diamandis and Abundance Insider (for a look into the rapidly evolving technology and advancements of the future, happening right now) • Dandapani (for wisdom and guidance about how our minds work, meditation, and how to use our minds to create the life we want to live) • Richard Davidson and the Center for Healthy Minds (for new research into the science of mental health and wellbeing) • Yuval Noah Harari (for an understanding of the history and future of the human species).

What many organization leaders fail to understand is that you can’t simply transplant a competitor’s talent strategy and achieve the same results—just as you can’t take plants suited to a warm climate and expect them to thrive in chillier locales. The conditions are too different. But a company that takes the time to examine its own environment, select talent accordingly, and nurture its people will stand tall, regardless of economic conditions.  Roberta Chinsky Matuson is the CEO of Matuson Consulting, a top management-consulting firm established 20 years ago that has helped organizations of all kinds- General Motors, Microsoft, Best Buy, LinkedIn, and many others-achieve dramatic growth and market leadership through maximizing talent. She was named a 2018 LinkedIn Top Voice in Management and Workplace and has an excellent relationship with MentorBox as well as with getAbstract, which has a huge reach in the corporate-learning market. She is quoted regularly in the business and general consumer press (Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Working Woman, etc.) as well as online (MSNBC, Monster, NPR, etc.) and broadcast media (Fox Business News, CNN, CBS’s Early Show, etc.). Topics During this conversation, Roberta and I discuss the following topics: The inspiration for her bookThe leadership lessons which she learned as a young HR executiveHow leaders can find the right people for their organizationWhy hiring is not a HR functionWhy it is important for organizations to develop their people internally Guest Resources If you are interested in Roberta and her resources, then be sure to check out the following links: Check out Roberta’s websiteConnect with Roberta on LinkedInFollow Roberta on TwitterLike Roberta on FacebookSubscribe to Roberta’s YouTube channel Moving Forward Leadership Resources Keep on top of Moving Forward Leadership with all the resources which I have established for you: POWER Goals Program – If you are ready to stop complaining and start achieving those goals which you have been trying to achieve for some time now.

#11 - Warum Podcasts zu einem der besten Deals deines Lebens werden können, besprechen wir in der heutigen Folge genauer. Denn egal wo du bist oder wie viel Zeit du gerade zur Verfügung hast, du kannst Podcast hören als Tool sehen, das universell eingesetzt werden kann und immer kostenlos ist. Nun heißt das nicht, dass kostenlose Dinge gut sind, ganz im Gegenteil! Auch bei Podcasts solltest du auf bestimmte Dinge achten, denn je mehr Podcasts es gibt, desto mehr steigt die Gefahr, dass die Qualität der Podcasts sinkt! Wir besprechen im Podcast also auch, welche Dinge du bei der Auswahl deiner Podcasts beachten solltest. Podcasts sind aus unserer Sicht ein unterschätztes Tool zu persönlichem Wachstum und das solltest du auch für dein Wachstum nutzen, egal welche Wünsche, Träume oder Ziele du im Leben folgst. Aber auch wenn dir jeder immer erzählt, du solltest Podcasts hören. Auf was musst du achten? Welchen Vorteil haben eigentlich Podcasts? Wie verdient der Podcaster Geld? Wie finde ich gute Podcasts? Das sind alles Fragen, die dir NIEMAND beantwortet, wir bei MENTORBOX schon! Viel Spaß mit dieser Folge. Abonniere den Podcast, um keine Folge zu verpassen.

#5 - In dieser Folge geht es um das FUNDAMENT von Mentorbox. Sehr viele Menschen sind in vielen Bereichen gut, vernachlässigen aber komplett andere Lebensbereiche. Dieser Podcast soll dir helfen, die aus unserer Sicht wichtigen 7 Säulen des Lebens zu verstehen und dir Tipps geben, wie du diese in deinem Leben in Balance bekommst. Denn egal wie erfolgreich wir sind, wenn wir nicht auf uns achten, ist der Erfolg nicht nachhaltig. Und egal wie gesund wir sind, wenn wir einen stressigen Lebensstil haben, kommt das irgendwann auf uns zurück. Diese Folge kann dir als Leitfaden für dein Leben dienen, um dich zu hinterfragen, ob du schon die richtige Balance aufgebaut hast - und wenn nicht, dann werden wir dir hier oder in unserer MENTORBOX genug Tools und Taktiken liefern, um in die richtige Balance zu kommen. Denn ohne FUNDAMENT ist Wachstum nicht nur gefährlich, sondern sehr riskant! Abonniere den Podcast, um keine Folge zu verpassen.

In this week's episode, you will learn from the founder of Silly Bandz, Robert J. Croak. His company generated over $240 million sales. Little did Robert know, his little idea was about to be the biggest bracelet trend the world had ever seen. What happened over the next two and a half years was simply unheard of. Robert’s little Toledo, Ohio company was catapulted into the limelight and went from 12 employees to over 300 in the matter of months. During this time trying to efficiently scale the craze and capture the lighting in a bottle, Robert was working 18 hours a day seven days a week. Silly Bandz partnered with the Kardashians, Justin Beiber, Hello Kitty, Barbie, Spongebob Squarepants, and Angry Birds for exclusively licensed bracelets. Licensing and consistently creating new packs to ship around the world was not easy, but with much determination, little sleep, and a great team, Robert kept up this pace producing a trend that outlasted most huge fads -- over three years.   Thanks to the whirlwind Silly Bandz fame, Robert has since been featured on “How I Made My Millions,” Bloomberg, CNN, MTV’s Made, Bravo’s Housewives of Beverly Hills, GSN-High Stakes Poker, as well as countless other TV shows and news features. After 2012, the blaze of the Silly Bandz trend cooled off and Robert has continued inventing, investing, and launching many new products and brands. With his accomplished reputation as a master brand-builder and infrastructure for product development, Robert has developed many new products, and has also diversified into real estate, technology, and fast casual pizza enterprises.  Through the years, Robert’s passions have remained the same: to continue creating meaningful products that provide him the financial ability to help make the world a better place.   Next, you will learn from one of Tony Robbins’ business partners, Joseph McClendon III. Joseph has sold over $100 million from stage. His personal businesses have produced over $100 million in sales. And he’s impacted over hundreds of millions of people through books, programs, seminars, and television.    Following a successful career with CBS records, Joseph founded the Succelleration Research Group, a leading consulting company that conducts Peak Performance coaching, workshops and seminars for business professionals around the globe. He is also a celebrated instructor for UCLA where he teaches courses on Human Re-engineering, Leadership, Advanced communication and Human Influence for the famed Engineering and Management Program. Joseph now serves as Head trainer and instructor at Tony Robbins acclaimed "Mastery University" and is consistently hired by Fortune 500 CEOs, Government Officials & Top Level Business Owners from over 46 different nations. Joseph McClendon also co-authored with Tony Robbins the best-selling books "Power Thoughts" and "Unlimited Power-a Black Choice".   Next, you will learn from copywriting expert, Sean Vosler. He has helped scale several 8-figure businesses, along with designing dozens of 7-figure marketing campaigns. He is the founder of Increase Academy & Author of the best selling guide, "7 Figure Marketing Copy". His “day job” is to help mildly successful entrepreneurs become wildly successful entrepreneurs... he accomplishes this with the power of marketing, messaging, and managing promotions. If you're an entrepreneur looking to scale your marketing & get your message out to the world, Sean is the guy to show you how it's done.   Next, you will learn from the CEO of MentorBox, Jonathon Kendall. Jonathon helped grow MentorBox to over 60,000 active subscribers a month along with its founders Dr. Alex Mehr, and Tai Lopez. He is a published nonfiction ghostwriter for professional athletes and CEOs; as well as a published novelist. Jonathon specializes in sales copywriting and drip-email sequences to increase profits for businesses. His pitch decks have generated over $100 million for the companies he’s worked with.    Lastly, you will learn from a celebrity consultant and an expert in credit and investing, Stephen Liao. Stephen has generated over $30 million in credit line, 100 million reward points, and has mastered credit strategies to experience high-end hotels, mansions, yachts, and private jets for cheap.

President Obama praised my next guest, so has Arianna Huffington and Michael Bloomberg. Today I'm fortunate to have him on the line. I usually spend around two hours prepping for my guests the day prior to the taping. And then, at night, I listen to some past interviews while on the treadmill. This was different. When prepping for my next guest I got so sucked into his stories that I spent the majority of my day diving into the rich and fascinating journey of Scott Harrison.Scott is the founder and CEO of charity: water, a non-profit bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in need around the world. He's also the New York Times best-selling author of Thirst, a story of redemption, compassion, and the mission to bring clean water to the world. Harrison spent 10 years as a night club promoter in New York City before leaving to volunteer on a hospital ship in West Africa as a photo journalist. Returning home two years later, he founded charity: water in 2006. In the 13 years since, the organization has mobilized over 1 million donors around the world to fund more than 38,000 water projects in 28 countries and bring clean water to 9.7 million people.Scott has been recognized on Fortune's 40 under 40 list, Forbes' Impact 30 list, and was ranked number 10 in Fast Company's 100 Most Creative People in business. He's currently a World Economic Forum young global leader, and lives in New York City with his wife and two children. Out of sheer coincidence though a mutual friend I got introduced to his wife, Viktoria, who is also Vice President of Creative for charity: water, who in turn made this interview happen since Scott was already somewhat familiar with my work to some extent, just seeing my books on branding lying around the house. Welcome to the show, Scott, and thanks so much for making the time.S Harrison: Hey, thanks for having me. This will be fun.F Geyrhalter: So, Scott, your inspiring story has been told many times, and as of late also in your best-selling book, Thirst, which I picked up a few days ago. It's a fascinating story and a remarkable journey. Could you share a little bit of it with our listeners? Like how did your career begin, and how did you end up running one of the most trusted and admired non-profits in the world?S Harrison: Yeah. Well, I guess I'll start early on. I was born in a very middle class family in Philadelphia, raised in New Jersey. When I was young, when I was four years old, there was a terrible accident in our house. We got carbon monoxide gas poisoning from a heater that leaked. My dad and I were lucky enough to find the leak and we recovered, but my mom, after passing out one day unconscious, just never recovered. She became an invalid. Her body's ability to just function normally in the world ended with this carbon monoxide poisoning.I grew up in a pretty sheltered Christian home taking care of mom. An only child. I didn't smoke. I didn't drink. I was in a caregiver role really. Then at 18, maybe no surprise, woke up one day and said, Now it's my turn. Now it's my turn to move to New York City and to do all the things I wasn't allowed to do. Now it's my turn to take care of myself. I joined a rock band which was a terrible idea because we broke up a couple of months later because we all hated each other.But I found that there was this unique profession in New York City called a night club promoter. And if you could get the beautiful people into the right clubs you could make a lot of money drinking for a living. I was 19 years old, a couple of years before I was even legally allowed in these nightclubs, I started throwing fashion parties and music parties, and pulling crowds of people together, doing deals with the clubs. I thought this was the greatest life ever. I mean I was chasing girls. I was chasing fashion week around. I was chasing the cars and the watches and all these things that I thought would bring fulfillment and happiness.The next thing I know 10 years is over. I'm 28 years old. I've worked at 40 different clubs in New York City over a decade. And my life is terrible. I have a cocaine problem. I have an Ecstasy and MDMA problem. I've got a serious drinking problem. I've smoked two to three packs of Marlboro reds for ten years, so I have a coughing problem. Gambling. Strip clubs. Pornography addiction. I mean, you name it, every vice that you might imagine would come with the territory had found its way to me and I'd taken it on.I had this really extreme contrast of a life that looked great on the outside. Going to beautiful dinners with fashion models at 10:00, and going to the club at 12:00. So then this life that was really rotting on the inside. Often I wouldn't go to bed until 12:00 or 1:00 or 2:00PM the next day, taking sleeping pills to try to come down off a high.I had some health issues. I read about this in the book. One day half my body goes numb. Maybe to a listener, no freaking wonder. But I go see doctors as you would and get the MRIs and the CT scans and the EKGs, and they can't find anything wrong with me. And I just really have a moment where I'm faced with my mortality. I realize, Boy I've made a mess of my life, and if I continue down this path I'm leaving the most meaningless legacy that a person could leave. I drink for a living. I get others wasted for a living. I'm doing nothing to serve others. I'm doing nothing to serve humanity.And I also realized I'd come so far from the foundation of spirituality and morality of my youth. And I wanted to come home. I wanted to find my way back to that. So that was 28, and one day I decide I'm going to leave night life and I ask myself the question, What would the opposite of my hedonistic, disgusting, sycophantic life look like? I thought, Well, serving others on a humanitarian adventure. I'm going to go do that. I'm going to go serve people without being paid, and I thought it'd be cool to go to Africa and do that.I found out this was very difficult when you're a nightclub promoter that gets people drunk for a living, because serious credible humanitarian organizations aren't exactly interested in taking you on. So I got denied by 10 or so famous organizations that everybody would have heard of.F Geyrhalter: To do volunteer work, which is pretty amazing.S Harrison: Yeah. I didn't even want to be paid.F Geyrhalter: We don't want your free work.S Harrison: Right. But I looked toxic on paper, right? So finally one organization said, Hey look, Scott, if you're willing to go and live in post-war Liberia, West Africa, and if you're willing to pay us $500 a month you can join our mission and you can be our photojournalist. I'd actually gotten a degree at New York University in journalism and communications just because it was the easiest degree I thought I could get. I was a C-minus student. Never even say the diploma. I just sent it straight to my dad because I felt like I owed it to him for saving up.So I on paper was technically qualified to do this job or this role. And I said, Great. I've got some cameras. I can write and I can't wait to see what amazing humanitarian work you're doing and how you people are, I'm sure, saving the world. So it happened very quickly, Fabian. I would up a couple of weeks later in West Africa embedded as a photojournalist with a group of humanitarian doctors and surgeons who would operate on people who had no access to medical care from a giant 522 foot hospital ship.The ship would sail up and down the coast of Africa bringing the best doctors and surgeons to the people who needed medical care. Thousands and thousands of people would turn up, and we would help as many people as we could. My third day in Africa, my third day on this mission, I was faced with the reality that there was so much more need than we could handle. 5000 sick patients turned up for 1500 available medical slots and we wound up sending 3500 people home.I would up just falling in love with the work of these doctors. Their heart, the purpose behind it. I had an email list of 15,000 people. So I had in a way a little bit of a built-in audience. Now granted these people had been coming to parties at the [inaudible 00:09:47] for Vogue or Cosmopolitan magazine for years. But I was able to tell them the stories of these patients of these amazing doctors. I learned that the same gift for promoting nightclubs, the same maybe skill that could get people excited about spending $20 on a vodka soda, could also be used to tell more redemptive, important stories, and also be used to raise money.I wound up doing a year there. That turned into a second year. And in the second year that I was back in West Africa, in Liberia, I saw the water that people were drinking in the rural remote areas. As I traveled around the country I just couldn't believe that there was no clean water. People were drinking from swamps. They were drinking from ground ponds, from viscous rivers. I learned that half of the country was drinking bad water, and half the disease in the country was because of that bad water.So I really started evolving into what I was interested in. If you'd asked me in the first year it would have been surgeries and medical procedures. If you'd asked me in the second year it would have been, Hey we need to get people water so that they're not sick in the first place. Let's get to the root cause of this, not just treat the symptoms.So all in, it was two years. It was a life changing, extraordinary experience. I came back to New York City at 30 with a completely new lease on life, a new purpose. I'd shed the vices. I quit smoking before I joined the mission. I quit drinking. I quit drugs and swore off porn and all that stuff obviously. I just wanted to change everything about my life. And now I had my issue. I wanted to help see if I could bring clean drinking water to people around the world that needed it.F Geyrhalter: And what was that one big breakthrough moment where you knew that this is not going to be a small non-profit? This is actually turning into a brand with a huge following, and it's going to affect millions of people. When was that moment when you knew now we're going over that curve, you know?S Harrison: You know I think I was pretty clear early on about the importance of branding to our success or to any sort of scale. So, okay, the different between mission and vision for us. So the mission was going to be let's bring clean drinking water to every person on the planet, and we'll know that we've achieved our mission when there are zero people left dying of bad water. Zero children dying in their mom's arms because they had to drink from a swamp. Zero women being attacked by hyenas, or lions, or crocodiles at the water source. So that's the mission.However, I had the advantage of being 30. The term social entrepreneur wasn't invented yet. And I really didn't know any better. I was just hanging out with everyday people who worked at the Sephora store. Or they worked at MTV. Or they worked at Chase Bank. And I realized that most people that I talked to didn't trust charities. They didn't trust the system. I learned that 42% of Americans said they don't trust charities, and 70% of Americans ... This is a more recent poll by NYU… 70% of Americans said, We believe charities waste our money when we donate.So I thought, this is actually the bigger opportunity. The vision for this thing is going to be reimagine, reinvent charity. How a charity should think and feel and act. How a charity should connect and serve its supporters. So we had a mission but then the vision would be this bigger thing that we did, and it would require effectively rebranding charity to take the cynical, skeptical, disenchanted people and say, Hey take another look. We're doing something very, very different here. We think we're actually speaking to your objections and the reasons why you're not giving. So "charity:" kind of on the left side being the vision and then "water" being the mission.F Geyrhalter: Right. And how did that come together? So when you instill trust in people and you have to change the stigma around charities not being trustworthy and how money goes to salaries, how did your business model, for instance, address this?S Harrison: Yeah. The biggest problem people had was they don't know where their money goes. I would just hear a version of that time and time again. You know, I give to a charity. How much is actually going to reach the people that need it? Is any of it going to reach the people? And I thought, Well, what if we could make a promise that 100% of the money would reach the people that need it.F Geyrhalter: Which is crazy.S Harrison: Which is crazy.F Geyrhalter: Right, yeah.S Harrison: And it really, on face value, it's a really dumb idea. Because if every donation goes straight to, in our case building water projects around the world, well then how would you ever pay for your own salary? Or your team's salary? Or your office costs? So I deeply believed that I could find a very small group of people and get them excited about that, about paying for the unsexy overhead costs, if they knew, again, that they were opting in to pay for this and if we were able to run a really efficient organization.So I literally opened up two bank accounts with different numbers 13 years ago. And said, 100% of the public's money is only going to go in this bank account and it's only going to build water projects, that we are going to prove. We're going to use photos and GPS and show satellite images. We're going to put trackers on the drilling rigs so people can just feel so connected to 100% of that money.And the other bank account, I'm going to go to entrepreneurs and business leaders and say, Hey, look, we have overhead costs, do you mind covering those? Because I can get you a great return on that investment and you're going to help me build a movement of clean water and restore people's faith in charity.So that was idea #1. The second idea was really just proof and finding ways to connect donors to the impact of their donation. So if a six year old girl gave $8.15 could we track that $8.15 to a village in Malawi and show here a picture of the project that that $8.15 went and supported? Could we even show her the names of the other people who made up the rest of that water project? So proof just became this core pillar.The third was really building an epic brand. You know 13 years ago if we were doing this podcast I would have told you that branding was going to be key to our success. And I would have quoted from the New York Times, a writer named Nick Kristof, who said that toothpaste is peddled with far more sophistication than all the world's life-saving causes.F Geyrhalter: I can see that. Yeah.S Harrison: I thought it's true and it's broke, and right? Colgate and Crest are better marketers. Doritos can spend hundreds of millions of dollars. Junk food companies, literally killing us and our children. But yet the most empowerful life saving causes on the planet often have anemic brands. In fact, there's almost a poverty mentality. You know if our brand looks too good maybe people won't want to give us money.F Geyrhalter: Oh, absolutely. Yeah.S Harrison: So you saw a lot of beige out there in the sector. You know dropped panel ceilings, florescent lights, cubby holes with the fuzzy linings on them. And I thought, man, the brands that we all look up to, the epic brands, the Nikes, the Virgins, the Apples, the Teslas, these are imaginative, inspiring brands. These are brands that don't use shame and guilt to peddle their wares. These are brands that try to call forth greatness and innovation and beauty. And I just didn't see that in charities. I saw charities trying to make people feel really bad about how much money they had and then guilting and shaming them into giving.While that may work in a short term for fundraising, it's not how you build a brand. Nobody goes and tells their friends about the charity that made them feel shameful. Or guilty. But you do go tell your friends about something that you're inspired by. So brand was really going to be this third core pillar. And that would look like attention to detail, valuing design, trying to hire the best designers and convince them not to work at Apple but to work at a place like charity: water and use their design skills for good.F Geyrhalter: Unheard of, yeah.S Harrison: And then the last thing was just making sure we worked with local partners to get the work done. I thought for our actual work, providing clean water to people around the world, to be culturally appropriate and for it to be sustainable it had to be led by the people in each of these countries. So by Ethiopians in Ethiopia, and by Kenyans in Kenya, and by Indians in India. Our job would be to create a global movement, energy and awareness around the clean water crisis. Use 100% of the money and track those dollars, but then empower the locals, now in 29 countries, to lead their communities and their countries forward with our capital.F Geyrhalter: Amazing. And obviously you care deeply about design, right? Your organization has been praised for its imaginative approach to branding. I just got a chance to review your 86 page brand guide last night. It states the following. It states: We believe a strong sense of brand can set us apart and amplify every message we send. Very much to what you just said, but when you started you had pretty much zero money. Zero experience, right?, in not only the non-profit space.S Harrison: But we had good taste.F Geyrhalter: That's right. And that can set it apart, right? But you didn't have experience branding necessarily, right? I mean as a nightclub promoter to a certain extent, flyers, stuff like that. But people don't care that much. How did then the visual brand come together? How did you arrive at that really now iconic bright yellow water can logo? What was that journey like?S Harrison: Well, so the first person that I hired was someone to help me go and work on the water projects, go and find the partners and figure out who we should send this money to to get impact. The second person I hired was a creative director, a designer. I later married her, so that's the story for the book.F Geyrhalter: Good choice.S Harrison: And she became my wife. But for a charity to make an early hire as a designer is unheard of. I mean that's normally hire 30. It's hire 60. Sometimes it's hire never. You know you hire some agency and you shop the whole thing out. So I just believed that brand would need to be the core of this thing, and it should be the second person.So when I hired Vik, she was working at an ad agency. She was working on Toyota campaigns and Clinique and she hated it. Her agency's motto was Create Desire, and it was basically sell people more things that they don't even want, certainly don't need, and then we make our clients rich. So she had come across charity: water. I'd done this outdoor exhibition in New York City where I put dirty water from New York City ponds and rivers into big plexi tanks and I showed people what it would look like if we had to drink the same water that people were drinking around the world.F Geyrhalter: That was a great campaign, yeah.S Harrison: Yeah. And she volunteered at that, and at the end she said, Hey, I'm a designer. Can I be useful? I'm like, Absolutely. Can you show up tomorrow? And she was an animator. She was a graphic designer. She wound up teaching herself how to shoot, edit video. And just really the all in one designer, then VP of Creative later. So it was really the three of us at the beginning kind of concepting these campaigns. How do we raise awareness? How do we get people to think differently about water?So I think it was just valuing that really early on, and then she wound up staying with the work for nine years and building up an amazing team and an amazing creative culture. You know, it's interesting. My wife, Viktoria, left a couple of years ago. She's now a brand consultant and starting her own business just trying to teach brand to other startups and other non-profits.She walked in the office the other day. There's 100 people here and we have a stunning 35,000 square foot office in Tribeca, New York and there's huge 14 foot light boxes and donated TV screens with images and with video loops. She walked in and was kind of like, Oh my gosh I don't know a lot of the people anymore. And the design looks even better than I ever remember it. And I'm like, Yeah, that's the testament to the culture. We posted a job for graphic designer at charity: water. I think we had 480 people apply at a non-profit. So that's really the culture.So it was valued at the top. It still is. I'm still pixel pushing every once in a while. I'll go over and I'll change a color or complain about a font. But I think that's the difference because a lot of non-profits are run by academics. Or they're run in a much more institutional way that doesn't value the creativity and the aesthetic.So it was two things. It was having the good taste. I couldn't do it myself. And then hiring and then putting the money in that direction for years that's helped. The jerry can you asked about. I absolutely resisted that. I didn't like the yellow jerry can. I didn't think anybody would know what it meant. And Vik always saw it as our Nike swoosh symbol. You know this is the symbol for water throughout so many countries around the world. The jerry can is not going away. And we want the water in every single jerry can in the world to be clean water. You know, it's the yellow can. I argued it for maybe a year.F Geyrhalter: Oh, wow. Persistent.S Harrison: And in the vein of my wife, typically right. And it turned out that she was. It's been a distinctive mark for us.F Geyrhalter: Absolutely. It's a little bit like the name where it feels at first a little generic, and then you can own it. And you own the entire history that's behind that simple image. Right?S Harrison: It really is. I mean I laugh about that. Right? It's a charity that helps people get water. I mean at least you know what we do.F Geyrhalter: So let's talk about that. Let's talk about that, because I wonder was it intentionally picked to allow for an extension into anything else than water at some point?S Harrison: Yeah. So that's why the core. So charity: would be the core entity, i.e. the vision. This effort to bring in new donors, to inspire generosity, to speak to cynicism around charity. Right? Build this huge community of givers who wanted to help people, help end suffering around the world. And then water would be the first initiative. Right? We were going to do that. We were going to live out the vision through the mission.F Geyrhalter: How long could it take, right? A couple of years then we should be done with water.F Geyrhalter: Check.S Harrison: I thought the next year I was going to imitate Richard Branson and I was going to launch charity: educaton, charity: health, charity: malaria, charity: justice, charity: shelter.F Geyrhalter: Well, I'm glad you didn't. We're all glad you didn't.S Harrison: I actually registered a bunch of domain names. I think I still own charity:education.com.F Geyrhalter: Because all the ones you haven't registered, they will be registered by the time that the podcast airs I'm sure.S Harrison: Yeah. Yeah.F Geyrhalter: They're going to sell it to you for millions of dollars, Scott. That's what they're going to do.S Harrison: Exactly. Exactly. So that was the idea at the beginning. And then as it happens, first of all you realize how difficult it is to do one thing well. Also, by the way, Fabian, there are 663 million human beings without clean water. So we just passed through 10 million that we've helped. So that's 10 million of 663 million. So 1/66th of the problem, or 1.5%. So we're at the very beginning of this journey and our impact we hope.And the beauty is as we got deeper into our first mission, our first initiative, charity: water, we learned that water impacted just about every other thing we were interested in doing. It impacted women and girls and gender equality. It is only the women and the girls that are the ones getting the water. It radically impacts health. 50% of the disease throughout the developing world, caused by bad water and lack of sanitation. It dramatically improved education as we could bring clean water and sanitation to the one in three schools worldwide that don't have clean water. I mean imagine sending your child to a school with no clean water and no toilet. Imagine sending your teenage girl to that school. Well, she doesn't go four or five days a month to a school without water and toilets and falls behind in her studies.So water became like this onion that the deeper we understood the importance and significance, the more we realized we were accomplishing so many other things. We were ending so many other aspects of human suffering by doing the one thing well. So 13 years later there's still no plan to brand extend. But, you know, as generic as the name is I think we've been able to own it through campaigns and through design and through, I mean gosh, we've probably made 800 to 1000 videos in house over that last decade or so.F Geyrhalter: I feel like I watched 100 of those yesterday. You get sucked into it.S Harrison: Some of the old ones are a little painful.F Geyrhalter: I don't think my Google search got me that far. So it's all good. Let's talk about storytelling a little bit more. I mean, it's key in the non-profit world. We talked about that most lead by using tools of shame and guilt. But hopeful storytelling in contrast has always been a tremendously important aspect of charity: water. And where other people use statistics, which are a far contrast to personal stories which lead to empathy more naturally, you guys you tell unbelievably sophisticated and personal stories. I heard one of those. I think it was on MentorBox, of giving a drilling rig a Twitter account and mounting it with cameras to tell its story while raising funds for it. And things did not always go quite as planned with the rig's journey. But you still shared those hiccups or failures with your tribe. Can you tell us that story, and perhaps how other brands can learn from the transparent way that charity: water tells its stories?S Harrison: Yeah, gosh, I feel like I've got to be careful not to use any of the buzz words.F Geyrhalter: It's a branding podcast. Go for it.S Harrison: For authenticity.F Geyrhalter: I did empathy. It's open. The door's open.S Harrison: Yeah. I mean I think if you're trying to solve for trust people just want to know how things really are out there. And if you present a picture of everything works all the time, and everything always goes well, well, people just know that's not how life works. That's not how any company works. That's not how any organization works. I think over 13 years we've just been honest and vulnerable about some of our challenges, whether they're broken wells out there. Whether it's drilling wells and not being able to serve communities like you mentioned.So in that specific story, we had crowd funded a well deep in the Central African Republic for a tribe of Bayaka Pygmies. This is a marginalized tribe. It's an oppressed group of people. They never had clean water before. In fact, the well driller that we were working with had gone in three times before and failed. A couple by hand, not finding water deep enough. Once with a small rig. He was sure that this time with the proper equipment, with a million dollar drilling rig and our money, he would be able to go and succeed.And we really believed him. We got thousands of people to learn about the Bayaka tribe, about their heroism, and their courage, and how they take care of their kids, and what the families are like. Just how extraordinary these people are. And we asked people to give money and said, Hey, please help. We promised that if we raised enough money to help them, then we would fly back and we would drill the well live via satellite so people could see the payoff. And what happened was we got another dry well. We tried, and we tried, and we tried for a couple of days. And we just broadcast the failure. We didn't sugarcoat it. It wasn't a happy ending. We wound up pulling away, leaving the village no better off than we found them. And perhaps worse because we'd raised a sense of hope. And we'd lit about $15,000 on fire in front of our supporters.But it was one of the most popular videos we ever shared because it was true. We've all been in car accidents. We've all maybe made a bad investment or a bad decision. And this wasn't for the lack of trying. This was actually a tenacity and a courage that was to be commended by our local partner in the effort of never giving up on these people, of never giving up on this tribe. But this time didn't work and all this money was lost.I just remember the emails coming in. It was sympathy but it was more respect, like, wow, we respect you guys for just being honest with us, for letting us know how hard it is out there to do what you're trying to do, by not sugarcoating it. And we will continue to give to charity: water. We know it didn't work this time, but if you want to go back we're in it again. And we actually did go back a year later, and we were able to finally successfully drill for that community in Central Africa with even more and different equipment. And then send that video around of eventual success. But I think just being willing to live with the reality of the moment and to share that built a lot of community.F Geyrhalter: And that's radical transparency, right?, which kind of by now even became a little bit a buzzword. But for you guys that is something that is really entrenched in how you actually run.S Harrison: Yeah. I was saying that 13 years ago on stage and to anybody that would listen. Radical transparency. Hyper transparency. I mean I just believe that the great businesses and certainly the great non-profits in the world, they will thrive on being honest and having integrity, on sharing their successes, sharing their challenges, and also sharing their failures.F Geyrhalter: Absolutely. And it's also important to you share the impact any specific group investing into your organization has, right?, if it goes right or wrong, but just to show what is happening. So data plays a huge part in charity: water. I watched your keynote from Inbound last year and you promised to share the impact that specific audience, if they would donate, right?, the impact that they would have on communities after five years.Now the way that I actually first learned about charity: water was the campaign you did together with Depeche Mode during their Delta Machine tour. Obviously a huge audience around the world. I believe a total of two million people attended once that tour was over. And the partnership continued in the Spirit tour a few years back. Did you have a system in place back then to track how much, let's say, the Copenhagen audience contributed versus the Paris audience? Or how many wells were built based on this one tour?S Harrison: Yeah, the Depeche Mode money was actually raised primarily through-F Geyrhalter: The watch, right?S Harrison: ... a partnership with Hublot. Yeah. A partnership with Hublot. However, they did have a campaign online and I remember all the band members donated their birthday. The fans were able to contribute to their birthdays.F Geyrhalter: Talk about that a little bit. Talk about that initiative because that's something most people are probably not familiar with, and it's such a great ... We're getting sidetracked but let's go there for a second.S Harrison: It was a simple idea. Look, it was a simple idea. We have birthdays every year. Our birthdays are typically about us, celebrating ourselves. We get gifts often that we don't want or need. We throw ourselves parties. Often other people throw parties for us that we don't necessarily even enjoy. And I thought, What if we could reclaim the birthday as a moment of generosity? And what if we could make our birthdays about others, and involve our friends, and our family, and our community in significant change around the world?I said, Look, here's this sticky marketing idea. Let's turn them into fundraisers and let's have people ask for their age in dollars, or pounds, or euros. So I tried this by doing my 32nd birthday. I said, Hey, if you've got 32 dollars please donate 32 dollars for my 32nd birthday. 100% of the money will go help clean water and we'll prove exactly where every dollar goes.To my surprise, my goal was $32,000 which was ambitious, but this idea spread and I ended up raising $59,000. Then a seven year old kid in Texas took the idea and he said, I'm turning seven and I want $7.00 donations for my birthday. He started knocking on doors, telling the story, talking about water. Wound up raising $22,000. A seven year old kid. We had 80 nine year olds donate for their birthday, asking for $89. It was kind of a beautiful multi-layered idea because so many kids around the world are dying before they reach their fifth birthday because they've had dirty water.We realized that as we donated our birthdays, people could actually have more birthdays. They could live longer. They could live healthier. They could thrive with clean water. And our friends don't want to get us crap anyway. You know, we don't want to get our friends an iTunes gift card, or a wallet, or a handbag.F Geyrhalter: Especially the iTunes gift card.S Harrison: Or scarves. Or socks. Or whatever, right? So people would much rather give to a cause that you care about. So this movement has helped us now get over two million people clean water around the world. Over 100,000 people have donated their birthdays. They've raised over 70 million dollars. In fact, if anyone is just interested in learning more you can just go to charitywater.org/birthdays. Even if your birthday is 13 days from now or 11 months from now, you can learn more. You can pledge. And we make it so easy. I've done eight birthdays now. My son did his first birthday when he was one, and people just love it. They love being able to see the impact of seeing something that was really focused on us turned to help others. Depeche Mode donated their birthdays. Will Smith donated his birthday. Kristen Bell donated her birthday. Tony Hawk. The founders of Twitter and Spotify and people at Apple. It's been amazing. Everyday people. Kids donating their birthdays to huge executives. It's helped us raise a lot of awareness and raise a lot of money.F Geyrhalter: And it's one of the reasons why you're one of the 10 most innovative people in business today, most creative people in business. It's those little ideas that come so quickly and afterwards they have such an impact. As we are coming slowly to an end here, I need to ask you this one question. What is one word that can describe your brand? So I know you believe in simplicity. It's important for the organization. This is brand simplicity at its core. Everything charity: water does. Everything it stands for all condensed into that one word that I call your Brand DNA. Can you think of that one word?S Harrison: Yeah, yeah. Inspired.F Geyrhalter: Great.S Harrison: We are trying to inspire people. We are inspired by the stories of courage and heroism. We're inspired by our local partners. We're inspired by our volunteers. We're inspired by the beneficiaries out there, the women that are walking for water, that are providing for their families under dire circumstances. We're inspired by our donors. We're inspired by our team members that we get to work with. It's my favorite word for the brand, and hopefully we're able to continue inspiring others to join us.F Geyrhalter: And I think you just have. In your book you state, and you stated this earlier in the podcast too, that good branding is key to charity: water's success. What does branding mean to you?S Harrison: I mean, gosh, there's so many definitions. I think branding is the perception. It's how people think of us. Does charity: water bring a smile to their face? Do they trust us? Do they believe that we are a bunch of hard-working, intelligent, passionate people that are doing this for the right reasons? That are trying to use our time, and our talents, and our money in the service of others? In the service of clean water? It's all of these little, little ideas and moments and brushes with a person at charity: water, or the brand, or a video, or an image, or a quote, that adds up to the brand. I think, I guess branding is the things that we do to not protect that but really move it forward. To continue inspiring. To continue designing with excellence and integrity. To continue telling stories that move people towards a greater generosity, and compassion, and a better version of themselves.F Geyrhalter: It's the sum of it all. Absolutely. I want to urge everyone to pick up a copy of Scott's book entitled Thirst. Proceeds go to charity: water.S Harrison: That's right. Yep. I don't make a penny.F Geyrhalter: You will do yourself a favor just to unlock the engaging digital component of the book, which is so cool. I got so sucked into this yesterday. It's a wonderfully curated and displayed content. But Scott, what do you want listeners do to help your cause? Where else would you want them to go to be part of the change?S Harrison: So there's a video that we made as we turned 10. It's called The Spring. It's really our story. It's an exercise in storytelling and branding. It's now gotten over 20 million views across platforms. But people could watch that. They could learn about The Spring, which is this new community we're building now across 110 countries of people who are showing up for clean water every month, in the same way that they might show up for Netflix or Spotify or Apple Music.So it's a community called The Spring and you could share the film. You could watch the film. You could join us in The Spring. Or you could just post it. So many people have learned about charity: water coming across a video, specifically this video. So that's at ... It's pretty easy to remember. It's just charitywater.org/thespring.F Geyrhalter: We'll link out to that.S Harrison: Or even thespring.com. So I'd say learn a little more. I think it's one thing to hear me talk about it. It's another to see the images, to see the video of people suffering and the need. But also the amazing relief. You get to see wells being drilled. You get to see people drinking clean water the very first time in their life. I would say it's an inspiring video, I think. So we'd love your help. Watch it. Maybe join us in The Spring, and then just help us share it. Because so many of your friends don't know about this issue, have never heard about us. And this is how we've grown really, through word of mouth.F Geyrhalter: Absolutely. Thank you, Scott, from the bottom of my heart. I know you need to go. Thanks for taking the time during your hectic schedule and for sharing your stories and advice with our listeners. I'm forever grateful for the time you spend with us and for the positivity, the inspiration, and the hope you provide through charity: water.S Harrison: Of course. Well, listen, come visit in New York City. I'd love to show you around headquarters, and thanks so much for just investing time to learn about us and doing your research. I really appreciate it.F Geyrhalter: Absolutely. Well, my pleasure.

Vianney from the UK asked, “What are your thoughts on (training/education) membership sites? To summarize Eran’s answer: I do NOT recommend it, it is a bad idea. Think about all the major training/education membership sites out there: Audible, Blinkist, MentorBox, Linked-In Learning, these are massive and require large capital investment as well as enormous amount of content to justify an individual remaining subscribed. The churn rate vs. the cost to acquire a customer simply won’t make sense. You are better off using your content creation to charge a higher one-time fee (numbers explained in the Podcast) as you are more certain to make this a profitable venture (i.e. selling info products, and/or coaching, and/or done-for-you services). What you can and should focus on subscription or membership type income (residual) would be things that are really difficult to actually pause and the customer is well and truly locked in to that subscription to a large extent. For example: I am a marketer. I will forever need an email autoresponder. I will forever need domain/hosting. I will forever need a platform to host my online courses and digital/info-products. These are subscriptions I will be paying for a long, long time. Many businesses and entrepreneurs are in a similar boat. Leverage these affiliate program to create passive income (that’s what I do).

In other words, have conviction so it's again keeping two opposing ideas in your head. One of them is having conviction and the other one is not being fully committed to an idea until it's proven itself. So, the solution to that, to have those two opposing ideas in your head simultaneously is to take risks. Meaning look this is a project, this is an idea, I've researched it for a couple of weeks or whatever a month. I think it's worth a try and then you have enough conviction to actually try it. So that's the risk you are taking however that risk has to be balanced with progress. And if you have launched and if you have tried it and you are not making progress you have to reassess”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-7a6

The key is to experiment very often and fail quickly and silently.  People have a fear of failure because they tie their self worth to the thing they are doing.

Adrian de la Vega is a 21 year old individual that I met in the 6th grade. He dropped out of college after Isaac and I told him to come move out to Texas with us. The rest is pretty much history being written. He met Tai Lopez while working for Mentorbox. Is trying to working a deal with Logan Paul's brand "Be A Maverick". And is biking all of the United States as of right now! I wanted to get him before he left for his bike trip and this conversation describes him accurately. Always thinking and discussing ideas. 

This past weekend I was in Newport Beach, California at Cole and Sanja Hatter’s mastermind.   I’m a BIG believer getting around big thinkers because, after all, you are the average of the 5 people you associate with most.   The thing I love about this mastermind, aside from the amazing group of badass conscious capitalists, but the big thinkers that Cole brings in to speak with us.   Some of these speakers this last time included people like: Bedros Keuilian (CEO of Fitbody Bootcamp), Alex Mehr from Mentorbox, Naveen Jain (billionaire badass), and my man Billy Gene (of Billy Gene is Marketing.)   On today’s Fan Question Friday, I’m going to share my biggest (actionable) take away from each of these speakers. Let’s dive in :)   #StayCurious

In today’s episode, Darcy welcomes Amber Lilyestrom, a transformational branding strategist, business coach, author, and speaker to share her shocking near-death experience giving birth and how it ignited a new life path towards spiritual wellness, realizing her life’s mission, and breaking free of a limiting mindset. After the birth of her daughter, Amber quit her demanding career in collegiate athletics and started her own coaching business which she quickly grew to $1.5 million in sales. Amber is the creator of the Ignite Your Soul Summit annual live event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and is the host of The Amber Lilyestrom Show podcast. Amber's mission is to empower women to position themselves as sought-after experts and thought leaders through the creation of an online brand presence and to actively seek a life full of abundance and gratitude. Amber has been featured by Entrepreneur, Mentorbox and Working Mother Magazine and is the author of the book “Master Your Money Mind.” Key Takeaway: Amber’s near-death experience during her c-section woke her up to face the fact that she wasn’t living her best life. Instead of struggling with PTSD and returning to her job, she decided to listen to her intuition which was telling her she was made to do more. Highlights: Amber’s experience balancing pregnancy and a career Amber’s labor and near-death experience while giving birth Why Amber wishes she had hired a doula Post-pregnancy health struggles, life changes, and PTSD How Amber’s perspective on life shifted with the birth of her daughter How to combat others “telling you your truth” Design a life that you really want to live What the Ignite Your Soul Summit is about Staying abundant, living with gratitude, and owning your worth   Your Birth Your Worth Podcast Website: https://www.yourbirthyourworthpodcast.com/ Darcy Sauers Website: https://www.thedouladarcy.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedouladarcy/ Amber Lilyestrom Website: www.amberlilyestrom.com Instagram: www.amberlilyestrom.com/Instagram Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrandLoveCoach/ “Master Your Money Mind” Book : https://www.amberlilyestrom.com/master-your-money-mind    

“The one most important thing to do is to not try to find the one most important thing to do.” - Jared Diamond(click to tweet) We’re raised around the people most genetically similar to us.  This makes it very difficult to isolate how much of our identity comes from DNA and how much is driven by our environment. To complicate things even further, the field of epigenetics has shown that gene expression can be altered by the environment around us.  That’s why on today’s episode of MentorBox’s Book of the Day series, we are joined by the American geographer, historian, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jared Diamond, to discuss the nature vs. nurture debate. Jared is the author of Guns, Germs, and Steel (1997, awarded a Pulitzer Prize), and in today’s episode he sheds light on this elusive human phenomenon.  Tune in to situate your understanding of the nature vs. nurture debate with the findings of research! “In general, friends that you know longer are more unique.

Warning: Amber and I cry multiple times together in this episode of Tea with Tamara, so having Kleenex nearby is recommended. There is so much magic that happens in this episode that I don’t even know where to start. I will tell you that earlier this year I started following Amber on Instagram and fell in love with everything about her.

Solitude is what you have the least of here, especially as plebes. You don’t even have privacy, the opportunity simply to be physically alone, never mind solitude, the ability to be alone with your thoughts. And yet I submit to you that solitude is one of the most important necessities of true leadership. In this episode of Made You Think, Neil and Nat cover the first speech on this show! Solitude and Leadership by William Deresiewicz is a speech held by the professor at West Point Military Academy. In it, Deresiewicz goes against the common thinking that Yale’s professors or MBAs are leaders, just because they are the best at following what they are told to do, and looks at solitude and moments of deep work the roots for true leadership. Multitasking is not only not thinking, it impairs your ability to think. Thinking means concentrating on one thing long enough to develop an idea about it. [...] Developing your own ideas. In short, thinking for yourself. You simply cannot do that in bursts of 20 seconds at a time, constantly interrupted by Facebook messages or Twitter tweets, or fiddling with your iPod, or watching something on YouTube. We cover a wide range of topics, including: Turning chaos into order vs maintaining the order The “clever” app that interrupts you to check if you are in the flow Guns and drug wars in Chicago Nat and Neil's rituals for solitude Why starting your podcast with your friends will bring you to the best of deep thinking A new sponsor that will make you smell better And much more. Please enjoy, and be sure to read Solitude and Leadership by William Deresiewicz!
