Podcasts about right foundation

1 Corinthians 3:11 — What is the hope for humanity? It was once believed civilization would bring a utopian society. The world developed around the idea that philosophy, education, knowledge, culture, and housing would create harmony among humans. On the contrary, civilizations have produced greater and more violent wars. Civilization has ended not in utopia, but failure. In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 3:11 tilted “The Right Foundation,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explores divisions in the Corinthian church. Unity is threatened as a popularity contest ensues. The apostle Paul is compelled to deal with the problem as it affects the cross. The Corinthian problem is found in their cracked foundation. Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that if the foundation is not right, nothing is right. The right foundation deals with two fundamental questions. First, who is man? And second, who is God? The right foundation is laid, not by humans, but by God in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Without this foundation, life becomes completely meaningless, descending into chaos and division. What is the problem with humanity? The answer is not the lack of education, politics, or culture. The human problem is that humanity has built its own foundation on sand. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones proclaims Jesus Christ alone as the adequate foundation.

In these final verses of Luke 6, Jesus concludes His message to the newly called disciples and the multitude.  He has been speaking on what it really means to be a true disciple, a genuine follower of His. You can and will be blessed or happy despite your circumstances (vv.20-26), and despite how people treat you (vv. 27-38). This will take place because you are like your Teacher, the Lord Jesus Christ. And it will be evident by the good fruit you will bear you in your life (vv. 39-45).   The Lord now makes it very clear that it is not enough to merely hear His Word and call Him “Lord”. We must also obey what He commands us to do. In Matthew 7:21-23, you find an additional warning Jesus gives at this point in His message. "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'”   Not everybody who professes to know the Lord has had a real experience of salvation. They may have been active in church and other religious organizations, but if they are not saved by faith, they have no foundation to their lives. They have built their religious experience on what they have done and accomplished that surely impressed everyone around them but did not impress God. And when they stand before God one day, they will hear these terrible words, “I never knew you; depart from me!”   Jesus is first addressing those who have a “confessed faith” in verse 46. “But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?” We must have a belief that behaves! There are many who are quite willing to own Jesus as King, as long as they can run their own affairs and make all of the decisions. They say, "Lord, Lord," but then they proceed to please themselves. The Lord will have none of it.   Next Jesus speaks of the triumph of a “correct faith” in verses 47-48. “Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock.” All of us are builders and we must be careful to build wisely. To "build on the rock" simply means to obey what God commands in His Word. It means that we “dug deep” into God's Word and found Jesus! “For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:11).   Finally, Jesus speaks of the tragedy of a “counterfeit faith”: “But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great." In both cases, there was a readiness to hear. The difference lay in what they did in response to what they heard. The person who listens to the Lord and is content with simply giving intellectual assent to the truth is on dangerous ground. He is building for eternity on shifting sand. The person who takes the Lord's words to heart and acts upon them, however, is on the solid rock. Happy is he!   From this chapter we learn that we can do the important and impossible tasks of being a genuine follower of Jesus by faith in Him alone. When we are abiding in Him, we will bear the fruit of Christ-like life! It will not be a burden to be obedient because His Holy Spirit will produce the fruit of love, joy, kindness, gentleness and faith. Fruit does not have to work at being fruit! It simply abides in the vine.   My friend, are you building your life on the foundation of Jesus Christ and abiding in Him today?   God bless!

Are you thinking about an eventual exit from your agency? Curious about how to prepare for selling your agency down the road? Preparing for a potential sale well in advance can be beneficial, even if you ultimately decide to retain your business. Our guest had a clear vision of his goal: to grow his agency while waiting for an opportune moment to sell. He shares valuable lessons on how coaching accelerated his growth and why he wishes he had joined a mastermind group sooner to establish the necessary systems for a successful sale. He shares insights into building a thriving agency and navigating the industry with a strategic approach. Ronik Patel is the founder of UnlimitedWP, a white-label WordPress Development company recently acquired by the white-label agency and longtime friend of the Smart Agency podcast, E2M Solutions. He shares his journey in the agency space, from starting Unlimited WP to its recent merger with E2M, and discusses the unique approach of productizing white-label services for digital agencies and the inspiration behind it. In this episode, we'll discuss: Building a sellable agency from scratch. The impact of agency peer groups. Preparing for an agency sale.

Building a Sellable Agency from Scratch Ronik has been in the agency space for eight years, when after completing his master's degree in entrepreneurship, he faced the challenges of a failed startup and recognized the need for a venture that required minimal initial investment. While operating an agency is not without its complexities and uncertainties, it offered him the opportunity to launch a business independently and with no capital, allowing him to gradually develop it into a lifestyle enterprise. However, Ronik's ambitions extended beyond merely creating a lifestyle business; he aspired to build an enterprise with the potential for future sale. To achieve this, he engaged with agency coaches to explore alternative models that would allow for rapid scaling and eventual sale. Inspired by design firms that successfully productized their services, Ronik noted the absence of similar strategies within the agency sector at that time. Determined to innovate, he set out to implement this approach in his own agency. Accelerating Success: The Impact of Agency Peer Groups Reflecting on his personal journey, Ronik believes that one of the most impactful decisions he could have made earlier was to seek out a mentor and join a mastermind group. His experience has shown that being part of an agency group and learning from industry experts can dramatically accelerate growth and success. By being part of a community of like-minded individuals, a step he took during his third year of owning an agency, entrepreneurs can gain valuable insights, advice, and support that can help them navigate challenges and make informed decisions. However, changes don't happen overnight. It took Ronik a couple of years to learn and implement what he learned, so he could have potentially achieved his goals in half the time if he had joined sooner. Ultimately, engaging with others and sharing experiences, helped him gain the confidence to try different things and improve his business strategies.   Moreover, things won't just happen unless you challenge yourself to actively participate in these communities to reap the full benefits of membership. Ronik stresses the importance of showing up, asking questions, and seeking help when faced with challenges. Being proactive and engaging with other members is the best way to leverage the collective knowledge and expertise of the community to overcome obstacles, find solutions, and achieve their goals. Building Value for Buyers: Lessons in an Agency Exit Strategy When it came time to sell, Ronik didn't have one particular reason to take this step. The timing was right, the offer was just right, and he had always envisioned he would sell at some point. Outside of just waiting for the right moment, he does recommend preparing for that moment by making a shortlist of potential buyers and initiating conversations with them to understand what they are looking for in a buyout, as well as actively seeking out potential buyers and making introductions early on in the process. By building relationships with potential buyers and understanding their criteria for a buyout, entrepreneurs can better position themselves for a successful sale when the time comes. Ronik also highlights the importance of understanding where the weightage will go in a potential buyout. He shares his experience of not knowing initially that factors such as the team, revenue, brand, and marketing channels would be crucial in the eyes of the buyer. By knowing this information ahead of time, entrepreneurs can tailor their efforts and focus on strengthening these aspects of their business to make it more attractive to potential buyers. Ultimately, it's always good to set up your agency for a possible future exit even if you don't end up selling because it creates freedom either way.

"Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

Those who find themselves in a deconstruction journey have rarely begun it flippantly. Most have been faced with difficulties that would rattle the strongest of foundations. Too often our faith has been built on something other than the solid rock of God's truth. When the storms come, how will it hold up?

This message will explore four main points. First, we will delve into the idea of guarding against carnality, as emphasized in verses one through four. Next, we will reflect on the assurance that God gives the increase, beautifully outlined in verses five through seven. We will then examine the concept of God rewarding our efforts, as highlighted in verses eight and nine. Lastly, we will uncover the importance of growing on the right foundation, as explored in verses ten and eleven. So, let's briefly as an introduction look at each of these points, and then we will dig into them as we move along in our message. Point #1 - Guard Against Carnality vs. 1-4: Here the Apostle Paul addresses a concerning issue within the Corinthian church—carnality. Here, he reminds the believers that their spiritual growth should move them beyond infancy. It is a timely reminder for us as well, urging us to remain vigilant against allowing our spiritual journey to be constrained by worldly desires. We will explore the dangers of carnality and the steps we can take to guard against it. Point #2 - God Gives the Increase vs. 5-7: Here, Paul reminds us that while he may have planted seeds of faith, it is only through God's grace and power that true growth and increase occur. As we navigate our journey of faith, it is essential to relinquish control and trust that God will work in wondrous ways. Point #3 - God Rewards Our Efforts vs. 8-9: In these verses the Apostle Paul draws our attention to the importance of our efforts in building God's kingdom. We learn that our labor in the Lord is not in vain and that each one of our contributions, however small they may seem, holds significance in the eyes of our Heavenly Father. God honors and rewards our faithfulness as we work diligently in His service. And Point #4 - Grow on the Right Foundation vs. 10-11: In the final portion of our passage, Paul highlights the necessity of building our spiritual lives on the right foundation. We must ensure that our foundation is none other than Jesus Christ Himself. In these next few moments, may the Holy Spirit guide us as we dive deeper into this passage, desiring to grow in our understanding, commitment, and purpose in God's glorious plan.

Discover strength and steadfastness in adversity as we explore the analogy of an unshakeable foundation in the face of life's storms. Jesus Christ, our cornerstone, offers direction and security as we build our lives upon Him. Join us in finding the only way to remain steadfast in our faith in life's storms.

We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. I'm your host property management growth expert, Jason Hull, along with Sarah I'm the founder and CEO she is owner and COO of DoorGrow. Now let's get into the show.  [00:01:17] Alright. So today's topic, we've been noticing there's some trends and some changes in the real estate industry, which is going to probably create some shifts. So what are we noticing?  [00:01:29] Sarah: Well, so some of you may have realized real estate isn't quite what it was a couple months, even a year ago, certainly not what it was two years ago. Things have a shifted a little bit in the market. There was a point where you can list a property, you would get, you know, multiple offers in one to two days, and it would sell for a whole lot over asking and it was very easy. It was simple because the market was just on fire. Things have changed just a little bit. They've slowed down. And we wanted to talk about what happens when the real estate market slows down.  [00:02:14] Jason: So, historically what I've noticed is anytime real estate kind of takes a nose dive or slows down or there's some sort of recession or something like this, I see a lot of real estate agents quit. There's a lot of real estate agents that don't renew their license. They leave, they quit, they give up. And a lot of these are the newer ones or the ones that came in thinking it'd be really easy when things were great and we had years of feast and now that there maybe is coming famine, they're out. And so we see a lot of that. I also see a lot of real estate agents decide to become property managers because they're struggling to get real estate deals. They're like, "what else could I do? I'm going to start a property management business because all of the other ones around me aren't that great." [00:03:00] And so historically DoorGrow, we get a lot of clients coming to us, looking for new websites and starting a business when the market takes a nosedive or there's a shift in real estate. So the other thing, I just saw a video that was pretty interesting data, and it was showing how there's been this huge spike in inventory in Airbnbs, but the revenue generated on average by Airbnbs has dipped in some markets to like 50% of the revenue generated per unit or per owner. And so the revenue's dipping significantly, but there's a lot of inventory of Airbnbs. What's going to happen is that bubble is going to burst, it's going to collapse because a lot of Airbnbs are going to sell. I talked to a property manager here locally in Austin, and he said he already saw the writing on the wall. And shout out to my buddy and friend, Brett Koster. He said that he already saw the writing on the wall. Oh, Koster, Koster. I said his name wrong. He did. All right. Koster Kingdom-- sorry-- on Instagram. I got you. All right. I think Koster sounds cool, but it's Koster, it's not "coaster." So yeah. Sorry Brett. [00:04:07] All right. So Brett said he already saw the writing on the wall and he went to his short-term rental clients and he said, Hey, let's convert these into long-term rentals. because this is what I see coming. So I think there's an opportunity for property managers out there. There's an opportunity for real estate agents to get into property management that brings a lot of unqualified people and people that are going to not be very great and make a lot of mistakes perhaps unless they have their own investments, they've been dealing with property management a little bit. We can help you do this correctly and we'll talk a little bit about our DoorGrow Foundations in a little bit, but those of you that are established property managers, there's going to be an opportunity for you to capitalize maybe on this bubble, this Airbnb bubble, and convert some of the short-term rentals or convince some of the short-term rentals to convert the long term. [00:04:57] Otherwise, they're probably going to sell an exit. For real estate agents, that's your opportunity is maybe to identify those Airbnbs that really need to just get sold so that they don't end up losing out. A lot of unqualified people came into the short-term rental situation as a result of the pandemic and everything else thinking, "Hey, there's a bunch of opportunity here now afterwards, and they are, you know, a lot of the people that are the least qualified to be doing it, they're going to be the ones that get hurt the most because they're not paying attention much to the market.  [00:05:30] Sarah: And there's a lot of like coaching things for like, "oh, here, I'll teach you how to like, run an Airbnb or like a short term rental business." and I think it's a really great idea. It is. I think what oftentimes happens is people significantly underestimate the amount of work that it takes. Significantly. Like Jason and I, we were just at Melanie's event last week and we were talking with someone who manages two short-term rental properties and she is already done. She's completely overwhelmed. She hates it. And that's only at two, two properties. And she's like, "everything is just urgent. They need it right now. You know, you can't wait, and sometimes people have very unreasonable expectations and thoughts as to what is an emergency and what needs to be done right now." so if you're in that short term Rental game. Our advice to her was, "you need a property manager," like, and one that does short-term rentals like on a consistent basis, not one that is just able to say, "Hey, I can do short-term." When you get into the short-term game, your short-term game and your long-term game are completely different. [00:06:39] They function like two very separate businesses, and we have a few clients that do both short term and long term, and they realize very quickly that they are not at all the same thing. They have to operate very differently just because of that quick turnover.  [00:06:57] Jason: Yeah, so I'm doing a webinar later today with a friend of mine that basically does some coaching stuff to the real estate industry to real estate agents. So I'm going to be talking to real estate agents about how they can double their real estate commissions by leveraging property management and there's an opportunity here. Real estate agents can either start their own property management business so that they can keep their investor clients or they can partner with a property manager locally, which could be you listening, and that could help them as well. [00:07:34] I've had several clients that if they make the property management arm of their business, when they also have brokerage, double their brokerage commissions simply by making sure property management is healthy, that they're acquiring new clients, that there's healthy flow, and that has fed them a lot more real estate deals. A lot of companies get their real estate deals from the tenants that are looking to get into buying a home from owners that are looking to buy or sell, they're getting real estate deals and commissions and property management, like I mentioned in the intro, is the ultimate gateway to real estate deals, relationships, and residual income. And so there's an opportunity there for those listening to either start your own property management business if you don't have that yet or to partner with a property manager, and there's ways they can help you generate revenue, get more deals if you have a good relationship. Especially those of my clients because they know how to help real estate agents get more real estate deals and make more money. [00:08:37] We teach them how to do this. So why don't we talk about to those that are looking to maybe get into property management or have been thinking about starting it up. Okay. Okay.  [00:08:48] Sarah: Okay. So if you're thinking about starting a property management business, I think it would be a very good time to do that because we aren't quite sure where the real estate market is going. Are we heading into a recession? Are we already in the recession? Is it going to continue to tank? We don't know. So I think it's a really great time to start a property management business. I actually started one years ago just kind of by mistake, and I learned some hard lessons along the way. So what we've done is we've created a course called DoorGrow Foundations for people who are starting, or who have recently started a property management company. So by like startups, we mean that you might already have a few clients, but you are just really not, you know, a big large company at this point. What we've done is we've kind of, mapped out.  [00:09:45] Jason: Or you have zero doors? Or like purely nothing.  [00:09:48] Sarah: Yeah. Started, I started by saying that, okay. [00:09:51] Jason: Just to clarify, a lot of the people that I talked to that have started their property management business, they started it because they were an investor. [00:09:57] They already had 10, sometimes even a hundred units that were their own. And then they decided to start doing it, third party, and then they were actually starting a business. So before that, they just considered themselves an investor. So why don't we tell them a little bit about our Foundations program  [00:10:12] then? [00:10:12] Sarah: Yeah. So what we've done in DoorGrow Foundations is we have created an entire course that you can go through that talks about all of the things that you're going to need to know when starting a property management business. We go into all of the mistakes that we see a lot of people make right around this point. [00:10:32] And I've leveraged my own experience as well to help people avoid making some really common mistakes. So some of the things that we've talked about are, you know, what do your bank accounts need to look like and what should your financials look like? And, you know, how do we prioritize, like how do we get started? What should my day look like? Like all of these types of things are usually questions that people have when they're starting up. And unfortunately, sometimes if you don't kind of set that up the right way in the beginning, then it comes around to kind of bite you later. So we've put all of this into a course and we've made this available because a lot of times we get people contacting us who don't yet have a property management business. [00:11:20] They're like, "Hey, I want to start this. I want to get into it." But they haven't actually done it yet and made that leap. So we thought, 'Hey, let's help people by leveraging what we know, what we've seen by talking hundreds of property managers and my own experience in starting a property management company, let's put all of that into a course that people can have access to, and that way it'll help you kind of get things off on the right foot.' [00:11:47] Jason: So in our DoorGrow code, a lot of. At the very earliest stage, we call those dreamers. These are people that have this dream of starting a business and we call them fantasy belts. You know, we have this belt system, so they're not even a white belt yet. When you're in that dreamer or that fantasy stage, a lot of times we are very good at looking at all the upside, and we're very good at ignoring the difficulties or the downside. And so there are a lot of potential pitfalls and mistakes that they make when getting started. and the biggest challenge usually getting started is just taking action to actually get the business going, and they get caught up on wasting a lot of time on stuff that doesn't really matter when the only thing that really matters is getting your first client, right? That first door is the hardest. And so our program is focused on helping you get that first third party door as quick as possible, getting the right things in place, that you need systems in place. And then we even have some upsells or upgrades in the program, so you can get a website and some of these other add-ons that you might want in starting your business. Let's talk about what the program costs.  [00:12:54] Sarah: Yeah. Okay. Let's talk about it. So the monthly investment for foundations is only $297 a month. And we price it this way because some people, it might take only a couple months to get through and some people might kind of hang out here for quite a while. So sometimes we see people really go through things like we have clients in our program. They go through things super quickly. They're rapid implementers. They get the knowledge that they need and then they just implement, move forward. And if that's you, then you can get through this really quickly. You might only be in there for a few months and at that point you might qualify for our mastermind if you need a little bit more time because. You maybe have another job or you've got, you know, other things that are requiring your attention. So you want to be able to do this so that you don't miss out on the opportunity, but you can't fully dedicate yourself to it, then that's okay too. It might take you a little bit longer, so it's only $297 a month. And that way as long as it takes you or as quickly as you get through it you still get all of that information and you can kind of work at your own pace.  [00:14:06] Jason: Cool. Let's talk about what you get with this program. So first you get access to the Foundation's training in DoorGrow Academy, which is going to help you make a lot of the right moves in getting this started. You also get a ticket to DoorGrow Live, which is easily worth the value of, you know, probably several months of paying for this program. But you get a ticket to DoorGrow Live, you get to attend in person, connect with other property managers, maybe make some connections, a friend or two, maybe find a mentor. And we've got some really great mastermind members in that, that are always coming to those events. You get access to DoorGrow CRM. So this is a tool that's going to help you to be able to keep track of potential deals and leads and to be able to move those forward more easily. And it has phone calling and texting and a lot of cool features. So DoorGrow CRM. [00:15:00] Sarah: Branding pages, automation, all that kind of good stuff.  [00:15:03] Jason: So you get access to that and then we have a growth strategy that we teach in this as well. That's perfect and ideal for startups that we call product research interviews so that you can go out and have a reason to talk to investors or people that can connect you to investors and how to leverage that and how to have the right conversation. We give you the scripts, everything so that you can use this tactic to get your first clients, which are the most difficult to get. And if you do these product research interviews and you do them correctly, you'll get some clients. And this is how we actually use this strategy to start our mastermind and several other programs that we've had at DoorGrow is this strategy of product research interviews, which gives you an excuse to talk to somebody. Sometimes I call this the Trojan horse to selling, but basically you're interviewing people and able to then convert them into clients.  [00:15:58] And that can be really effective for startups because it's also going to teach you, by doing these interviews, you're going to learn the language and the objections and the pain and the pleasure, all the stuff you need to understand in order to sell effectively to clients. So this is going to help you collapse time on selling to clients so that you will be able to sell as effectively, or maybe more so than some people that have been in the industry or at this game for a long time. There's some knowledge that we need to collapse time on, and this is one of the strategies that will help with that. We also have a upsell to where you can, if you want a logo and you want a website, you can pay a little extra to get access to our team to do those things for you. We're the world's leading property management, branding and design agency, we've rebranded more companies than anybody else. Period. Hundreds. And we can help you with making sure you don't make some significant mistakes on the brand, which can cost you a lot of money in the long run. And I think that's about it, right?  [00:16:59] Sarah: Oh, they do the masterclass too? They get access to the masterclass.  [00:17:02] Jason: Oh. We also have a masterclass that we do once a month where we do a cool training on something related to helping you grow and scale your property management business. Trainings in the past that we've done, you will have access to is we did a training on creating the ideal pitch deck, how to create a really good pitch deck to increase your close rate. We did a training on the three systems you need in order to make your business infinitely scalable so you can scale quickly. And any others? We've done some others. We just did your priorities. We did, yeah. We just did a training on increasing your profitability by changing the priorities in the business. Stuff like this.  [00:17:39] So, yeah. So the Foundation's program is a really great stepping stone to enable you to get the funds and get in gear so that you can join our Mastermind. Now, if you've already got the funds, maybe you've got a healthy brokerage, we would recommend you start with our lite version of the Mastermind, and that would be a much better program to be in because it includes the foundation stuff, but then you get coaching and we take things to the next level. You get our more advanced growth strategies, and we do a full rapid revamp on your business, which includes the branding, the website, all that stuff's included. Based on the price points for those things, those upsells being included, it makes it a no-brainer you should do the lite version of the Mastermind, because you'll probably save money that way. So you'll definitely save money that way. Yeah, we would recommend that.  [00:18:31] Program is a one year program or a 12 month commitment, and if you're 200 doors + maybe $20k revenue and plus, then you probably are at a point now where you know how to add doors. Your business probably has a team, you're probably ready for our super system level of the Mastermind and that would be the that next level that we would recommend for those of you that are 200 plus. At least a hundred doors, but maybe 20 K in revenue, plus maybe to be in that level. So depending on what you need and where you're at, we can help figure out what do you need most and how can we best help you? So, yeah. Cool. So if you're thinking about getting into property management, my usual joke is, If you're considering it is, do you want us to talk you into it or do you want us to talk you out of it? because we can do either one. So reach out to us and we can help you with that. Anything else that we should say?  [00:19:24] If you are interested in talking to us, you are struggling in your property management business.

When it comes to list building, give yourself some grace, give yourself some time and give yourself permission to test things out. A lot of times we compare ourselves to other people, we see them with big vanity metrics, and we start getting into our own heads thinking we need that too. But here's the thing, it's better to have quality people on our list, to begin with than a big, huge number of unqualified people. We really need to take the time to tune in our messaging, tune in our offers, and make sure we're in front of the right people, because if we get a big vanity metric and attract all the wrong people into our world, what good is it anyway?

In this series of "Snippets of Wisdom" episodes, I select my favourite, most insightful moments from previous episodes of the podcast.   Today's snippet of wisdom comes from my conversation with Richard Flint, who is a keynote speaker, trainer, and mentor. It is about standing on the right foundation in life - and Richard says there are only two foundations we can stand on.   I hope you find it as insightful as I have. ⠀

Pastor Alex Sagot"Small changes make big differences." We kick off our Family Feud series with a message all about dealing with our family. Ps. Alex highlights dealing with difficult people and how we need to build strong families. We're taught to work it out, appreciate it more, and build on the right foundation.

"If you have a foundation of good products and good people, more of the world needs to hear about it." -Mike Fata Hemp is now considered a superfood! Hemp has a very high nutritional profile and offers plenty of health benefits, including being high in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber content. A lot of the misconceptions around hemp is associated with it being closely related to marijuana. However, unlike its counterpart, hemp doesn't contain enough THC (0.3%), the chemical compound responsible for getting high. Rather, it is high in Cannabidiol (CBD), a phytocannabinoid that helps in easing symptoms of many health issues including pain, inflammation, and a wide range of neurological disorders.  Inspired by his own personal health transformation, Mike Fata co-founded Manitoba Harvest, one of today's global leading manufacturers and brands of high-quality hemp food products. Weighing over 300 pounds, Mike took decisive action to change. He focused his diet on fiber, protein, and healthy fats— all components of hemp. Amazed by his results, Mike made it his mission to spread the word about the power of hemp to as many people as possible.    In this episode, Justine and Mike talk about the health benefits of hemp, where to get trusted resources, the foundation of a successful business, what it's like to sell your business, and how the shift in narrative is gradually changing our current food system for the better. Meet Mike: Co-founding Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods in 1998, and serving as Chairman of the Board and CEO until 2016, Mike helped guide the strategic sale of the company to Tilray for $419 million dollars in 2019. Since then, Mike has celebrated and supported other business ventures as an entrepreneur, board member, investor, and advisor.    Mike is an award-winning author and keynote speaker. He is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Fata & Associates and host of the Founder to Mentor podcast. Mike is an investor/advisor to a portfolio of world-class companies, a Lifetime Member (Past Chairman) of the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA), and a Lifetime Member (Past Chairman) of the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO).    Twitter Instagram LinkedIn   Connect with Manitoba Harvest:  Website Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest YouTube Connect with NextGen Purpose: Website Facebook Instagram  YouTube Link  Episode Highlights: 00:45 Discovering the Health Benefits of Hemp 04:49 What It's Like to Sell Your Business 07:40 Fats That Heal 09:17 The Right Foundation for Entrepreneurship 13:03 We Need More Good Products & Good People 16:19 The Shift of the Narrative
