Travis Steffan is the most interesting man in the world. OK, maybe not yet, but he is working towards that. He is a Serial Entrepreneur, thrill seeker, former MMA fighter, professional Poker player, viral growth nerd and has a Master's degree in Exercise Physiology. He has sold 6 companies in the last 5 years, he loves what he does, and you can tell from the way he talks about it. His latest venture, MentorMojo.com offers tons of completely contradictory advice on how to start and run a business, and that is by design. • See how the small efforts will build to greater things. • He thinks of himself as Lex Luthor…If Lex Luthor were a good guy. • Don't be afraid to go broke, you will learn from it. • If you have the right attitude, you can get through anything. • You can't teach hustle or passion. • Everyone is an outlier. What's right for you, is not right for anyone else in exactly the same way. • He has worked with his current business partner for 6 years, and they have never met in person. • Most of the time people in business do things because other people in business are doing it. Don't do that. • Upshare.co is designed to scientifically help your product or service go viral.

The best entrepreneur advice you will ever hear from today's ambush interview with Andrea Lake. This will help you redefine how to approach starting your new business. Today the nice guys talk to Andrea Lake who runs Stickerjunkie.com among other businesses. We can't even call this an "interview", because it's more like a bunch of friends hanging out and talking about business, and this is exactly why Doug does all the interviews alone, otherwise we our guests would never get a word in. Things we learned from Andrea: • Never ask a woman her age, and never ask a monkey what he's smoking. • Sticker Junkie was started as an accident, because of demand from customers. • The secret of her success is hiring amazing people. • Hire the right people, and do whatever it takes to keep them happy (didn't we say that on episode 31, "Hire the right people"?...) • The harder you work, the more lucky you get, they go hand in hand. • Don't get overwhelmed with the big picture, look at 1 piece at a time. • The Sticker Junkie Monkey is a rough and tumble monkey. He's not politically correct. He's a rebel, unlike Doug. More about Andrea: • She owns 5 other companies along with Sticker Junkie. • Andrea loves business the way some people love football. • She was on "The Apprentice". • She taught an entrepreneurship class at Harvard. • Her clothing company Delinquent Distribution owns the sales rights to merchandise for Minecraft, World of Warcraft, Call of Duty and The Walking Dead video games. • She is partners with Tap Out clothing founder Dan Caldwell with Lessons.biz, they offer online "rocket ship" courses to teach you everything you actually need to know to start a business. • One of her companies Mentormojo.com is all about how to convert interest into sales, and includes step-by-step instructions from entrepreneurs who are dominating their industries. • Think you've had it bad? Andrea once had $2 million dollars in merchandise returned, and the same week had one of her companies on Oprah result in 70 sales. No, that's not a typo- An appearance on Oprah only got her 70 sales. Please visit our very cool sponsor- www.Stickerjunkie.com and use Promo code "niceguys10" to get $10.00 off of any sticker order.

A conversation with entrepreneur and author Tim Fargo, creator of the Tweet Jukebox. Tim has over 190k Twitter followers, he built and sold a successful business for $20 million dollars, and Doug interviewed him while he was in Poland. Tweet Jukebox is a great tool to automate your tweets and has thousands of users after just a couple of months. Here are some of the highlights: • Tim believes that the only way to be successful is to help others. • On Twitter- Created or curated content is OK, just make sure your content is compelling. • Stay consistent to your theme. • Start off doing your own customer service. • Many big companies feel they have a marketing problem, but really they have an execution problem. If they would treat their customers better, they wouldn't have to work so hard to get new ones. • A customer who shows up for price, will also leave for price. • If you want to start a business, get a job in the industry first. You will be more successful if you learn about a business from the inside before you try to do it yourself. • Don't open a restaurant just because you like to eat food. Running a restaurant is different from being passionate about eating. • #1 advice for starting a business- KEEP YOUR OVERHEAD LOW.

Hiring the wrong people can cost much more than you think, not only in lost productivity, but also in poor morale that can spread through your office like a disease. The Nice Guys can help you hire the right people the first time. • We are moving out of the "Industrial Age" and into the "Social Age". • Business is no longer just about the widget you are selling, it's about the people. • Happy employees are more efficient, companies like Google and Zappos have built their culture around this. • G-Mail came out of Google's 15% time, which encourages employees to spend 15% of their work week on a project they want to do. • Post-it notes were invented because of 3M's "20% time". • The IBM philosophy has always been "Hire the right people, point them in the right direction, and get out of their way." • If you can't trust your people to be motivated, and work hard without a supervisor looking over their shoulder- You've hired the wrong people. • Hiring the wrong person is one of the most expensive things you can do. Long term, the wrong person will drag the entire company down with poor productivity, and by spreading their bad attitude throughout.
