Jason discusses the perceived under attack situation in the United States, particularly for the middle class, and suggested that a potential action step for his listeners is to sell their homes. He also emphasized the importance of mobility and adaptability in the face of political and economic uncertainties, and raised concerns about the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). Lastly, he criticized the censorship pressure from the Biden administration on Facebook and announced a master class on Wednesday at noon Pacific time, which would cover topics such as offshore planning and asset protection. Then Jason and Megan finish their conversation. They discuss the challenges self-employed individuals face when applying for mortgages, as banks are skeptical about income verification, requiring detailed profit and loss statements. Megan points out that many small business owners struggle with bookkeeping, further complicating the process. She also highlights rising home insurance costs, especially in states like California, driving up expenses for landlords, which are eventually passed on to tenants through higher rents. Jason adds that despite these challenges, Millennials and Gen Z are set to inherit $85 trillion, the largest wealth transfer in history, potentially offering financial relief for future generations. Megan closes out with lessons from former president Gerald Ford on how to build wealth by "not being afraid of the pivot." #SelfEmployed #MortgageChallenges #RealEstateInvesting #HomeInsuranceCrisis #WealthTransfer #Millennials #GenZ #LandlordLife #FinancialStruggles #SmallBusiness #RentIncreases #PersonalFinance #FutureGenerations   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:32 Political Risk: the middle class is under attack 7:20 Ai scientist running its own experiments 10:04 Tweet: Take a stand together and Zuckerberg's confession 13:15 Join our Zoom Masterclass: Unlock Global Freedom JasonHartman.com/Wednesday Megan Gorman interview part 3 15:12 Passing it on to the tenants 17:28 Building the middle class 20:15 We could have a president who didn't go or finish college 22:52 Reshaping our institutions 24:18 Lessons from Gerald Ford: He was never afraid of the Pivot   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Guest: Adam Bryant is a respected and noted expert on executive leadership, whose work includes 525 Corner Office columns for the New York Times. He joined The ExCo Group as Managing Director and Partner after a distinguished career as an editor and journalist. Adam has a proven ability to distill real-world lessons and insights from his hundreds of interviews and turn them into practical tools, presentations and exercises to help The ExCo Group clients deepen their leadership benches and strengthen their teams. He works with executive leadership teams and organizations to foster a culture of innovation, based on a best-practices framework he developed for his widely praised book, "The CEO Test: Master the Challenges That Make or Break All Leaders." Before joining The ExCo Group, Adam worked for 30 years as a journalist, including 18 years as a reporter, editor and columnist at The New York Times. He interviewed more than 500 CEOs for "Corner Office," a weekly series on leadership and management in The Times that he created in 2009. Episode in a Tweet: Take the CEO Test! Learn what tests you need to pass to be an exceptional leader and change the world. Quick Background: They had me at the title. A CEO Test??? I hadn't heard of any such thing, and I knew I had to find out if I would pass the test. The average CEO only lasts five years in the job, and I wanted to find out why. What was I doing differently, being that I've been in the CEO role at StoneAge for over 12 years and still have a long runway ahead of me? Would I pass or fail? Have I just been lucky, or am I doing a few things right? I waited with anticipation for the book to arrive. Once I read it, I was a fan. "The CEO Test" is one of the best books I've read in 2021. I appreciate the "tests" Adam and his co-author line out and once I finished the book, I reached out to Adam to get to know him and his firm. During this episode, Adam and I talk about the challenges leaders face today and how they can overcome the obstacles and crises that will undoubtedly continue to come their way. Adam shares his views on a leader's superpower. News flash, it's not what you might think! We also talk about the importance of a clear and simple strategy and a business's reason for existing. Adam also shares what it was like to be a reporter and editor at one of the country's largest newspapers, The New York Times. This is an insightful and motivating episode and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Today’s show is about overcoming fear on your way to chasing your dreams. We encounter moments of crossroads in life, where we are faced with decisions that determine our future. My guest had the guts to leave her chosen career behind--all to preserve her mental health. We are raising money for Mental Health America, so see the link below to donate and help us reach our goal! Katherine Knapke, RN, BSN, is the Communications and Operations Manager at the American Negotiation Institute, where she uses her experience as a psychiatric nurse trained in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI) and a mediator to address the psychological, emotional, and societal concerns that impact women in the workplace. In October, Katherine is launching the American Negotiation Institute’s newest podcast, Ask With Confidence, designed to empower women and help them gain the confidence they need when engaging in difficult conversations. How Katherine arrived at her present work Do you enjoy doing things that scare you? Katherine says she is grateful for the new things she does every day because they scare her. She makes her own schedule and works with many different people as they talk through their shared experiences. When Katherine decided to give this new field a try, she started learning applicable skills and making new connections. Even though she began as an Administrative Assistant, she moved her way up because of her work ethic and sacrifice. TWEET: Take inspiration from others, not imitation. #chasingdreams Considering mental health consequences Do you think about the mental health consequences of the choices you make? Katherine knows that many people sacrifice their mental health to stay in a job they know isn’t right for them. She did the opposite by jumping into something new and untried--all in an effort to salvage her mental health! Katherine knew that she couldn’t continue in the nursing field that was leaving her unsatisfied and unfulfilled. Even though trying something new was a big risk, Katherine knew it was a step she had to take. TWEET: What is the point of having a job and earning money if you’re too stressed about it to enjoy your life? #chasingdreams Cultivating small acts of self-care When was the last time you focused on self-care? Hopefully, it was earlier today! Most people mistakenly think that self-care has to be extreme, like that once-a-year vacation. We need to realize that small things like daily journaling and hobbies are forms of self-care. Cleaning and decluttering your environment can be self-care because you feel better, and your outlook improves. Even the simple act of showering can be a refreshing way to reset your mindset! Katherine explains why we need to learn to carve out small amounts of time that bring us moments of joy every day. TWEET: We have to try and experience new things on the way to chasing our dreams. #chasingdreams Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take--”Just start, no matter where you are.

Victoria Mininger is the founder of Fearless Woman Entrepreneur, through which she mentors women entrepreneurs to thrive, not just survive, in both business and life. She is also the founder and CEO of Bear Creek Enterprises, where she actively works alongside her husband, Brian, to provide employment opportunities and a positive work environment within the construction industry. From years spent building and running various businesses, to her time spent as a staff writer for a large university, she has honed her skills in the trenches of business and the creative world of writing. Victoria lives in central Virginia with her husband and four daughters. In her downtime, she loves to run, spend time in the outdoors, and travel. When Opportunity Comes Knocking . . . Are you ready to “do something different”? Victoria came to that point when a new opportunity came knocking for her in June of 2016. With her husband’s construction background, they joined forces and created their own construction company. Recently, they’ve ridden the “tiny house” wave to cater to the “entrepreneur on the go” by building and selling studio office spaces! TWEET: Where we start off in life is not usually where we end up. @vmininger A Role Model—for Failure?? Do you let your children see your successes AND your failures? Victoria believes that honesty and openness, even when failure comes, are important for our children to see. She shares how she and Brian were candid with their children when their business sputtered and failed. We all know that failure is a part of life and a stair-step to success, so why not allow our kids to see how we handle it and move forward? TWEET: #Failure is a part of life and a stair-step to #success, @vmininger Finding Ways to Give Back How do you prioritize your self-care? We’ve all heard it said that we can’t take care of those we love unless we are taking care of ourselves. This is true! Victoria loves helping others through Fearless Woman Entrepreneur and finds it rewarding to give back. Many people experience the hopelessness that comes from that place of struggle, but she wants to create a safe space for women entrepreneurs, teaching them to care for themselves first! TWEET: We can’t take care of those we #love unless we are taking #care of ourselves. @vmininger #selfcare Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take—“Take everything on your plate and ask if it’s still supposed to be there.

“Communication Diva” is the tongue-in-cheek, sassy title of podcaster and author (and church minister) Jenn Swanson. Jenn doesn’t actually believe anyone can be a diva of communication but does passionately insist that we could all do with a little practice! Through her podcast, public speaking, workshops, individual coaching, ministry, and recently published book, Jenn lives out her personal mission statement: to connect, encourage, and empower others and to help people “know they can.” Aimed at high school and college graduates (and with a gentle nudge toward personal awareness and growth), What They See: How to Stand Out and Shine in Your New Job takes readers beyond the interview and into the three-month probationary period of new employment.  TWEET: I didn’t want to deal with paperwork but wanted to do pastoral care with patients. @jennswanson2 Finding what calls to you: Do you follow what “calls to you”? Jenn shares how she spent 23 years in the hospital business, but then left to follow her dreams. After securing her instructor’s license, she went into teaching medical terminology and found it was something she enjoyed. “There was something about teaching that was calling me,” Jenn says. But she didn’t stop there; she went on to get her ministerial training part-time while working at the hospital—and added another profession to her repertoire. TWEET: Why should I slow down when I love what I’m doing? @jennswanson2 Don’t overload your plate! Do you feel compelled to say YES to everything that comes along? So many people “overload” their plates by never learning to say NO. Jenn says you must be ruthless about your self-care and not let yourself get overloaded. Something may sound fun, but you have to look after yourself first and foremost. Always remember that your family must be your top priority. TWEET: DONE is better than perfect. @jennswanson2 Omigosh—I have to do this! Do you regularly step “outside your comfort zone”? Jenn says that the more she taught, the more she realized that there was a great need to be able to communicate effectively. Using language properly reduces tension in relationships---and couldn’t we all stand to communicate more effectively? Jenn explains how she found podcasting, met some great people who helped her along the way, and got hooked! TWEET: Take what you love to do and turn it into a paying gig. @jennswanson2 Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take—“Set a goal. It’s one thing to imagine a dream, but it’s another to write it down or tell someone you’re gonna do it. It adds another level of commitment. Break it down into small steps and do ONE thing today.” OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [1:15] Jenn’s eclectic background and her initial dream to pursue acting [3:14] Why Jenn didn’t go to acting school [6:25] Pursuing another dream in serving others [9:10] Balancing jobs, school, practicum training, and family [11:05] Getting ruthless with self-care [12:20] How Jenn’s kids lived out her dream of theater school [15:00] Discovering the world of podcasting [17:40] Looking back on 6 years of podcasting [19:33] Unexpected opportunities [21:14] Upcoming plans for Jenn [23:29] Doing it on your own terms [25:30] Why slow down?

Jennifer Nappier entered the University of Maryland Baltimore County as a pre-med biology major, but she changed her path and graduated from law school eight years later. January 2017 marks her tenth year as part of the Maryland Bar Association. Jennifer started her career as a staff attorney for a non-profit, representing victims of domestic violence. She then moved to the Maryland Department of Labor, working with unemployment insurance appeal hearings. In October of 2015, she was appointed as an Administrative Law Judge for the Maryland Office of Administrative Hearings. Join us for some interesting insights! TWEET: “#Goals and #dreams are fluid and changing.” #JenniferNappier   From Doctor to Lawyer: Is there something you’ve “always wanted to be”? For Jennifer, it was being a doctor that dominated her childhood dreams, mostly because of her love of all things science. She was determined to be a pediatrician until she ran head-on into chemistry classes in college. After deciding she had suffered through enough, she took a law class, loved it, and completely changed her career path. Helping those who want to be heard: Jennifer’s extensive work with people who are “down on their luck” has taught her that acknowledging and hearing them means everything. As an ALJ, she works with people who have had bad experiences with the law and the court system. Jennifer operates within the premise that everyone deserves the chance to be appreciated, heard, and considered.  TWEET: “Everyone deserves to be appreciated, heard, and considered.” #Respect #JenniferNappier How Social Life Changes: Do you struggle to maintain social relationships? Does chasing your dreams sometimes mean leaving a social life behind? Jennifer says that the two concepts are not mutually exclusive. She shares how we need to find new ways to maintain relationships and face the challenges of keeping up with friends and family. Some people get lost in chasing their dreams, but it’s important to be there for friends and family and not being consumed by work.  TWEET: “Take a day off just for yourself.” #SelfCare #JenniferNappier   OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [1:45] Being an Administrative Law Judge [5:45] From pre-med to law [10:30] Don’t do it for someone else!

He is the founder of the Podcast Success Academy and the host of FIVE podcasts.

After college, he wasn’t exactly sure how he would use his skills, but he knew he would be in some form of public speaking. As Yann discovered his first podcast, he realized how he could combine his passion and his academic background, leverage his connections, and launch out into the world of digital marketing.

Our journey wasn't the easiest one. The road we took to get to where we are now wasn't paved with just rainbows and sunshine. We did not rely on luck, there was no Magic Pill and we didn't have a “parachute” to bail us out if we failed… we are just simple folks who wanted to have more time to spend with our kids and live our lives to the fullest. It has now been 3 years since we left our regular nine-to-five jobs to become full-time online entrepreneurs, be our own boss for a change and have that freedom. We learned so much and we keep learning as we go through our daily responsibilities. You know what? Life has been so much more rewarding. All the risks we took and sacrifices we made eventually paid off. Sure, it gets difficult at times, but it's also such a gratifying experience to reach out and help so many people. We also get to enjoy our time with the kids, be there for them when they need us the most, it's how we knew that this was the right fit for us. Today is what we fondly call our “Quit-iversary,” so we're going to celebrate this milestone by flipping this episode with our take on living the Flipped Lifestyle 24/7, talk about life and dive into very interesting and inspiring stuff.

Special Edition This week we have two former guests with us, members of our Flip Your Life Community who have some awesome success stories to share. Listen to these stories of thousands of dollars earned and jobs being quit so you can be inspired by today's stories and take action on your goals. Brad Barrett Brad has gone all in quitting his day job this year while increasing his online income dramatically. He's gone from one on one free calls to a course that individuals can sign up whenever they want - basically selling courses on auto-pilot now. By flipping his life he is now able to have lunch with his daughter during the day, greet his older daughter when she gets off the bus, and the opportunity to read books all day if he wanted too. Brad and his wife are looking forward to traveling the world with their children during the summer breaks which wouldn't be possible if he was still at his full time accounting job. [Tweet "I would pick Flip Your Life over Harvard Business School in a heartbeat"] Shelley Hitz Shelley learned how to launch her beta group from her previous one on one call with us! Without having any content ready she was able to fill 20 spots at $199 during her pre-launch bringing in around 6k in just a few weeks. She is already getting AMAZING success stories and feedback on what students really want which allowed her to make money upfront and save time. One student published her kindle book in the first month after taking the course and became a number one best selling Amazon Author in the very first day!

JOCELYN: Hey y'all! You're listening to an Expert Q&A with S&J. Today's expert is John Lee Dumas of the ‘Entrepreneur on Fire' podcast and entrepreneuronfire.com. Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast where life always comes before work. We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. Join us, each week, as we teach you how to flip your lifestyle upside-down by selling stuff online. Are you ready for something different? All right, let's get started. SHANE: Hey y'all, welcome back to the Flipped Lifestyle Expert Q&A podcast; excited to bring in another expert to answer your questions about online business. We do not have the only way to be successful online. Love to introduce you to other perspectives from different experts in different fields especially when you send us questions that we have no clue of what the answer is. So we'd like to bring people on and let them know. We would love to welcome back today, the one and only, John Lee Dumas. John was on about a month ago and he is back again today to answer another audience question from the Flipped Lifestyle community. John, welcome back man! JOHN: My friends, I am still on fire. SHANE: You are always on fire. You're like the everlasting flame; you know what I'm saying? JOHN: I love it. The Olympic torch. SHANE: That's right, you're the Olympic torch of online business. All right Jocelyn, what's our question for John today? JOCELYN: All right, today's question is from Ryan and I'm not sure how to say his last name, Belolo, maybe, and this is via Twitter. It says, “Hey guys, do you each use your own microphone for your podcast? What does your setup look like and what is the best microphone and in your opinion, the best way to hook up two microphones to one computer? I can't figure it out.” SHANE: And we wanted to bring John on to answer this specific question ‘cause Jocelyn and I have the least knowledge of – we're barely on the podcast ourselves right now, but John Lee Dumas knows a thing or two about podcasting. So John, how does that work man? What's your set up look like and how do you get two people talking in the same place? JOHN: Well, whatever you all the doing, the audio sounds amazing. I give it the thumbs up. SHANE: There we go. JOHN: Let me break it down microphone wise. I have three mic recommendations starting at the low, going to a medium and then ending at a high cost. The low cost is the Logitech ClearChat. It's a 29-dollar headset microphone, USB, plugs into any USB port and you can get it on Amazon. It'll be free shipping with Prime in two days. 29 dollars. It'll take your audio from a two, which is what most people do and talk at their computer and let the crappy microphone pick it up to, a seven. So you are actually going from a two to a seven just with 29 dollars. The medium cost is the ATR2100 which is twice the price but still a very affordable, 60 dollars. SHANE: And that's what we have; we both are talking on the 2100 right now actually....
