Charlie is here today to pick up his two years sobriety medallion at Rock Recovery Center. He is a graduate of our program and has successfully navigated a clean and sober life since leaving Rock Recovery Center. Charlie and his wife chat with us about how Charlie has been living his daily life as a clean and sober society member. The Beginnings of Charlie’s Addiction At age 13, Charlie left his home and started drinking socially to the point that he was drinking five gallons of alcohol a week. Before he started drinking heavily, he started taking hard drugs. “Once the drinking took off, my addiction became like a wildfire.” His portfolio of drugs included “meth, cocaine, crack, acid, shrooms, and I was in for anything that didn’t take a needle.” “Balancing” Work-Life and Addiction At 42, Charlie had to make sure he was clean for his job. “I was a Union carpenter, and I worked in a nuclear facility, so my background had to be squeaky clean, so I could pass the Homeland Security background check.” He would work 12 hour days, six days a week. After work, he would drink a few shots, go to sleep, then get up and go back to work. His addiction progressed into drinking in the morning to hold him over until break time at work, where he could drink a few shots, then drink again when he drove home from work. Switching from Drugs to Alcohol At first, he was able to “drink like a normal person,” and Charlie says that the “alcohol was socially acceptable, so it was easy to get.” He felt it was OK to get drunk at home by himself, watching TV, or “playing around in my workshop. I could cut off as many fingers as I wanted to because I was by myself, and it didn’t bother anybody.” Charlie was a solitary alcoholic and didn’t drink around friends or family. Charlie’s Wife Amy and Her Perspective on His Addiction “When we first got together, he point-blank told me that he was an alcoholic and he likes to drink.” She was OK with that until things progressed and they were in a more serious relationship. He started isolating and not paying attention to her or the children. Charlie decided to go to recovery, came back, and then relapsed soon after. “We live right down the street from a liquor store,” so it was easy for Charlie to get a hold of alcohol. They separated, and then Charlie decided to go to Rock Recovery Center for treatment as Amy didn’t want to continue the relationship with Charlie’s addictive behavior. At Rock Recovery Center, we take a humanistic approach to recovery, teaching our clients how to live independently in a sober world. We care about the success and safety of each and every one of our clients from the moment they step into our center to the future of their well-being.

Today’s podcast features personal trainer, massage therapist and musician, Charlie Reid. Living in the San Francisco Bay Area for 8 years of my life brought with it the opportunity to meet and learn from many wonderful and knowledgeable coaches and trainers.  One of those that I met was Charlie, who I met at Pat Davidson’s “Rethinking the Big Patterns” seminar. Charlie and I later were able to both spend time at Kezar stadium learning sprint and movement philosophy from Adarian Barr, while having plenty of conversations on training. Charlie is one of the smartest and wisest coaches that you may not know.  His base of knowledge is massive, as well as the range of those coaches and systems he has spent time learning from.  If there is a system of thought out there in the world of movement and human performance, there is a good chance Charlie has experience with it.  Charlie is not only a strength coach, but also a certified massage practitioner, and spent years as a professional musician. On the podcast today, Charlie helps us “zoom out” our views on things like stretching, corrective exercise and motor learning.  At the core of our chat today is an extended discussion on the redundancy of the term “corrective exercise” and how to look at the body in a manner that leaves us wondering what truly needs to be corrected.  We also get into a learner-centered approach, and how facilitating that approach may differ from working from novices, up to more advanced athletes. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.

And in the sense that you could relate it to just things that perhaps we do in the gym or in rehab or quote-unquote corrective type work. Charlie Reid: Yeah. I mean, a little bit of backstory. I toyed around with some meditation things and I had done this thing called MBSR, which is mindfulness-based stress reduction. And it culminated in a one-day meditation retreat and it was kind of like a collection of different mindfulness techniques. So you got a little bit of exposure to different things, whether that's yoga, walking, meditation, sitting meditation, body scan meditation. But really the one day retreat, which was six hours long, was like the most powerful thing for me. So, you know, my brain was like, I want to do, what's like the Navy seals boot camp of meditation retreats? And talking with some friends and colleagues and whatnot, they said, Oh, the 10-day vipassana, you gotta do that. And so,

Let's talk communication.Text, email, call, video-chat, carrier pigeon…There's no shortage of ways to communicate with your customers and members.

On today’s episode, Charlie McNerney discusses shared responsibility in cybersecurity, the idea of trust, and how diagnosing a problem before treating it has aided him in his career.    Early Retirement and Intellectual Income  After working 25 years at Microsoft, Charlie retired early. Six months later—after getting a boat and a dog—he found himself bored and seeking, what he calls, an “intellectual income experience.” After a phone call from a friend, Charlie ended up consulting for Expedia Group, and eventually came on as a full-time CISO. Listen to the episode to hear more about what an intellectual income is and what it means to Charlie.    Shared Responsibility  In setting up Expedia to understand what they need in a CISO, Charlie had to encourage them to question if they understood their risk posture now, and who was responsible for risk. He delves into how a company can value risk and actively try to understand it, as the Expedia Group does, but still wonder who certain tasks fall to. Charlie relays how imperative it is to convey that everyone shares the responsibility of risk. We discuss the importance of recognizing how anyone can impact risk and how the security team needs to articulate this to the rest of the company.    Trust in a Company  Charlie also touches on how every company is at risk nowadays to hackers or breaches, as every company is now a tech company. As a result, trust in the company, for the customers, supplies or between the employees is so important. In order to be effective, the security needs the support and trust from the rest of the company, especially from company boards. If boards can value the trust in the company and understand how that impacts finances, then the security can be more effective.   The Medical Model for Security  Charlies believes in following the medical model in his approach to cyber security. What he means by this is to copy the way doctors tackle illness: symptoms, diagnoses, treatment, recovery. If you treat a problem before you diagnose, it leads to malpractice—the same applies to security. When you discover symptoms, you need to put the security risk in terms of their transactions, not in terms of risk. Charlie encourages the CISO to not sensationalize and scare people until you actually know what’s going on. Building Trust During a Crisis  As we’ve discussed before on this podcast, having a playbook before there’s a crisis is imperative. What Charlie points out is also making sure everyone is aware of the playbook and comprehends it before a breach. His advice for a CISO during a breach: focus on data and not feed into fear. In addition, it’s important to communicate properly with other teams within the company. Liston on to hear what Charlie believes security teams need to convey to other departments in the business.   Competition and Cooperation  Charlie reflects on what advice he would’ve given his younger self. To him, when you’re younger and trying to understand your position in the company, you can get competitive with yourself and others. When you’re in that competitive mindset, you miss out on the cooperative mode. Charlies delves into how focusing on a title can lose relationships that you will need later. He shares his advice for how to be collaborative with others and how to have better emotional intelligence. Listen on to hear more about why cooperation is better than competition in the workspace.   Being a Respectful Leader and Finding Respectful Leadership In this episode, we converse on how you need to love what you do and how even if you enjoy your job, if you hate your boss, you’ll hate your days. Charlie disagrees with the mentality of living for the weekend. Hear what else he has to say on the significance of work culture.  Legacy in Leadership  Charlie brings up being cogitative of legacy when you are a leader. He challenges our audience to ask themselves if the work they’re doing is something they’re willing to put their name on. He urges people to be intentional about the jobs you take and what you do for those jobs. Listen on to hear more about how legacy can take on many forms and be remembered in different ways.   Mentorship  Charlie dispels the idea that your boss always needs to be your mentor. Instead, he encourages you to search out other mentors and to keep seeking until you find someone who can guide you. He believes that having the right mentor will separate you in your career.    Hiring Process during COVID Though COVID has disrupted our everyday lives, Charlie iterates that hiring remotely doesn’t need to be difficult. He is still looking for someone with energy and who wants to be at the company. Those young, energetic people are who Charlie wants to build up and help grow. In addition to the hiring process, he discusses how to be an engaged leader when it comes to promotions. He emphasizes specificity and clarity in reviews and feedback. Listen to the episode to hear more on how to change meetings into coachable moments.    The New CISO Where thinking about the new CISO, Charlie encourages those in cybersecurity to really think about the nature of protection that you can provide to different positions within the company. He believes the new CISO must think of risk in a holistic way. Listen to the episode to hear more on this.  Links:  Exabeam: Website New CISO Podcast Charlie McNerney - LinkedIn

  As we continue our holiday hiatus, we give you last year's New Year's day interview again because it is so inspirational in terms of Transformation.  It applies as much as we kick off 2020 as it did at the start of 2019.  Enjoy...   Charlie Rocket ran a multi-million dollar business where he managed hip-hop artists like 2 Chainz into Grammy Awards.  But he weighed over 300 lbs and was diagnosed with a brain tumor so he decided to do what he has done his entire life:  dream the biggest dream and then set about working toward attaining it, regardless of whether his family and friends thought he was crazy.  One of those dreams was to be a Nike Athlete, which came true when his fan-created commercial of his transformation from obesity to Ironman went viral and he was flown to Nike's headquarters in Oregon.  That trip led to Charlie being featured alongside Lebron James and Serena Williams in a commercial with Colin Kaepernick... something that Charlie had been writing in his journal for months prior.    His worldview has such simplicity that it is unique:  to remove the brain and allow himself to dream like a child.  But his follow-through and workmanship, fueled by these dreams, is what has so many people talking about him.  10,000 "No"s intended to be on a two month break for the holidays, but this inspiring conversation felt too pertinent to release on any other day of the year besides New Year's Day.  Launch into your 2019 with the wise words of Charlie Rocket!    SHOW NOTES:  Coming from a long line of vacuum salespeople, (8:11).  Getting fired by Soldier Boy at age 18 and deciding to rep musicians as a talent manager, (11:17).  "If you want to be successful, you have to be of servitude, (12:50).  Posting hundreds of MySpace comments for hours every single day to build an audience one person at a time, (14:00).   Driving the entire coast to 'Salute the DJ' and build an army of DJs who would ultimately help him and his artists win a Grammy, (14:45).  Serving DJs by making it easier for them to access their music better by building the biggest DJ website in the world for Urban DJs, DJservicepack.com, (16:41).  How Charlie executed these big dream ideas, (18:07).  "The key thing is, I shut down my brain...", (19:47).  Walking away from a very successful music career at 305lbs, with a brain tumor, to become an athlete, (21:41).  Why Nike was so special to Charlie from a young age, (25:17).  How Charlie turned his recurring journal entry of a year into a reality, (29:01).  Charlie's dichotomy of being a dreamer and a pragmatic practitioner, (30:46).  Being honest and asking for help from followers, (35:44).  Mobilizing a fan base to help launch a book, (37:13).  Shrinking the brain tumor through a diet of living foods, (39:45).  The word "no" really means "not yet", (40:46).   The "Buy, Cry or Die" theory, (41:01).  What Charlie learned about marketing from PDiddy, (42:39).  Bad relationship to spending money, "We spend it and get it back, we that invented that.", (45:29).  The negatives knock you down, but they're also the tools to your positives... so you can change anything, (47:49).  Charlie's lone regret about not spending enough time with his grandfather because he was chasing the flash of the music industry(48:31).    LINKS:  Website: More on Charlie  Twitter: @CharlieJabaley  Podcast: Charlie Rocket Show  YouTube: Fan Made Nike Commercial  YouTube: Nike's 30th Anniversary Ad  Pre-order Matt's Upcoming Indie Film, Limerence, on iTunes here!!!

If you’ve been in the entrepreneurial space for more than a hot minute, you probably know Charlie Gilkey. He started out with a blog, but now he is the creator of Productive Flourishing, a podcast and a site that helps people do the work that matters so they can become their best selves. Believe it or not, we nabbed Charlie as a guest on Worth It, and we’re really excited to share this interview with you. So, let’s get to it. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN  00:40 Who Charlie Gilkey is — and why we’re so excited to chat with him! 01:40 Charlie’s background as an Army logistics officer 03:23 How he took his first blog to a full-on business and podcast 03:43 Why his new book, Start Finishing, is different from other productivity books out there 04:46 Charlie’s view of the “bro” productivity literature that currently exists 06:19 Why our focus on work (rather than our lives) is a crisis of priority 07:40 The hamster wheel so many of us find ourselves on 09:15 Why money is an instrument, not the end goal 11:10 What happens when you add intention and purpose to your money 12:16 How to make more space for those projects you want to finish 12:57 What “thrashing” means 13:51 How most of us are going about “finishing” the wrong way14:20 The 5 Projects Rule 15:25 Why choosing what you’re NOT going to work on frees you to start finishing 16:49 The 2-Hour Rule 18:15 The risks of not scheduling in your project-based work 20:35 Why we tend to justify economics but not emotions when we outsource our work and lives 23:15 The idea of “Project World” 24:35 What Charlie means by “No date, no finish” 28:30 The problem with to-do lists (and how we use them) 30:05 The 15-second or 2-hour decision you’ll need to make with each to-do list item 31:01 The 3 ways we experience time 33:23 Why we run and hide when we don’t have our projects properly aligned 34:23 The risks that come with thinking motion means progress 35:29 How to take back your time by being mindful of your device use 37:58 The risk of planning too far in advance 41:05 Why Charlie often recommends that entrepreneurs don’t plan for more than 6 mos out 42:43 How to handle multipotentialite tendencies 43:10 The benefits of finishing something at a level of mastery 47:39 Charlie’s mission in life  THE PROBLEM WITH “NEVER ENOUGH TIME” While most of our conversations center on money and how to build wealth, we know that most of our audience are entrepreneurs who have multiple interests, love exploring new business ideas, and who want to make the most of the time they’re working. After all, you started your own business so you could have time to do what you love, right?? And yet, as Charlie talks to us about in this episode, we tend to prioritize work to the point of sickness or burnout, and we do it all in the name of money or “getting things done.” The result is that many of us feel like we’re just working for money, that we’re not in alignment, and we don’t have time to do the things we really want to do — or even need to do.  Charlie goes into detail on why this is in his new book, Start Finishing, and he was nice enough to shed some light on this during our chat. In fact, he calls it out pretty early in this episode: If you’re struggling to find the time to do what you want to do, it’s not because there’s not enough time. It’s because your priorities aren’t aligned.    GET OFF THE HAMSTER WHEEL We all have busy lives. It can feel like we’re running from one thing to the next, trying to get ahead. And it can feel like a hamster wheel. We’re not really getting traction and we’re not doing what we feel most called to do because, you know, you have a lot on your plate.  But let’s be real. You get to choose what you’re working on — and what you’re not working on. It can be hard to change what you’ve already set in motion (yes, you have to finish that client project or get those meetings done before you can really make space for what’s important to you), but you can set yourself up for success starting now. How? Charlie calls is the 5 Projects Rule. The 5 Projects Rule This rule is one that Charlie highly recommends, especially for those in the entrepreneurial space. Basically, it means no more than 5 projects per time slice (a day, a week, a month, a quarter, a year). Many of us have 5+ projects we work on in a day, like “Do the laundry, finish that work project, mow the lawn, do the groceries, schedule the vet visit, figure out the water bill” etc. — and it’s no wonder we don’t have time! We are literally cramming our day with projects. Instead, Charlie recommends cutting it back to 5. 5 a day, 5 a week, 5 a month, whatever it is. But no more than 5 in a time slice. To do this, you’ll need to figure out what you don’t have to do, or what you can delegate. Get real with it, and don’t let other people’s priorities or emergencies affect this once you’ve made a decision. Stick to your project plan! And if your time slice is bigger than a day — a week, month, quarter, year, etc. — you can break those projects down into smaller time slices. In a really good planning world, Charlie says, you’d have a long-term project chunked out into smaller projects, i.e. a month-sized project broken down into week-sized projects. If you’re wondering how to break down your projects by week or even day, Charlie has a recommendation for that, too. 2-Hour Rule Ask yourself what a 2-hour chunk looks like for your project breakdowns: what can you get done in 2 hours and where you can fit that block of time into your schedule? Charlie also shares that you can ask yourself which items you can get done in 15 minutes, because you knock things off your list really quickly when you see those things come up. He also adds that we all underestimate how long it takes to get stuff done, so build in a buffer! For a rough buffer, Charlie says you can multiply the time you think a project (or work block) will take by 3. So that 15 minute project… it might actually take you 45 minutes. Plan accordingly.   FINISH THE DANG THING Charlie shared his big productivity secret on this episode: “No date, no finish.” If you don’t have a date for that big project you want to finish, or that little project you want to start, it’s never gonna get done. And picking a date is only half the battle. From there, you need actionable breakdowns — those 5 projects per time slice we talked about. What are you doing today/tomorrow/this week/this month to move you closer to that goal?  There’s another important point that Charlie made: we tend to run and hide from our commitments to our own projects. How often have you stared at your to do list, started to write that email, or tried to find information about your new pet passion… and froze? Maybe you ran straight to a client or customer issue to resolve, or you decided to open Instagram, or maybe you buried yourself in email busy work. #Guilty But the problem with this is: We trick ourselves into thinking “At least we did something.” But it isn’t the work you should be doing, and you know it. So get real with yourself, make a plan, and make it actionable.    START FINISHING: THE BOOK This is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what we talk about in the podcast. Charlie also covers the problem with how we all manage our to do lists, the risks with planning more than 6 months at a time, and more. We talk about all of it in the podcast, we but we also talk about his new book: Start Finishing.  While this is technically a “productivity book,” Charlie says it’s different in three ways:  It talks just as much about the work of our lives, than the life of our work It’s not like “bro” productivity literature that can be exclusionary It focuses on the work that calls to you, rather than the things on your to-do list He hopes to help people thrive in their businesses, homes, and communities, and we think he’s well on his way. If you want to know how to finally start finishing, juggle all of your many interests, and create a schedule that lets you do more than work and feel guilty… this episode and Charlie’s new book are perfect for you.

However, Charlie didn't get the traction he was looking for, so he shifted gears to a new interest: confidence. Charlie is a self-proclaimed introvert who struggled in social situations. He decided he would scratch his own itch, and began blogging on the topic of confidence, dating, leadership, and more. But it wasn't until Charlie started his YouTube channel that things really took off. In less than a year, Charisma on Command generated tens of thousands of subscribers and hundreds of thousand of views on some of his most watched videos. He has since scaled that to 1.5 million subscribers in less than 3 years.   My big takeaway from today's conversation: FORMAT is just as important as the content you want to share. This is specifically in reference to YouTube, but I think it applies to any sort of content creation or teaching. It applies to blogs, to podcasts, to video creation, and more. In a nutshell, if you want to break into a competitive market, it's not just about the content you create, or the value you add to someone's life - it's HOW you go about delivering the content that will determine whether people sit up and listen, or ignore you. So if you're looking to tap into a platform like YouTube, or you're just trying to figure out ways your podcast or blog or whatever can stand out, you need to listen to Charlie's advise on format.   In this broadcast, Charlie Houpert and I talk about:   How Charlie got his start online  The 'systems' process Charlie uses to generate growth in any marketing channel he dives into Why Charlie decided to experiment with YouTube, and how he got early viewers and subscriber How Charlie was able to make money from building an audience before he ever had products to sell How to determine if a marketing channel will work (and when to pull the plug) Why Charlie rebranded to Charisma on Command (and how branding impacts your growth potential) 3 things you MUST get right if you want to start a successful YouTube channel A simple technique anyone can use to capitalize on mainstream trends (I love this idea and it's something I'm trying to figure out how to implement in my own business) Why Charlie fired all his clients (and how he transitioned to selling infoproducts full-time) How Charlie developed and launched his most profitable course ever (hint: if you don't do this, you're making a mistake) What Charlie is doing now to expand his brand and grow sales, revenue, and profit via his YouTube channel   And much more...   Charlie on the value of YouTube   "YouTube is a recommendation engine before it's a search engine. So when you're thinking about what sort of content to make, it must be something that is eminently clickable and should follow a trend...when you're just starting out, focus on trends."

Today’s guest approached me at the end of my presentation at Social Media Marketing World and told me how he had spent about $10,000 on Facebook ads to generate $500,000 in revenue. You’ll meet Charlie Liu, the co-founder of Digitsu in this episode. Digitsu is an online source of quality martial arts instructional videos, and his story is one that you’re going to want to hear.   He shares how they now market their products to customers and how he came up with the strategy to do this. Charlie reveals that he thinks of the funnel as a maze, getting people from point A to B and developing an army of loyal fans and community along the way. I’m super impressed with what Charlie is doing, especially since he is not only an avid listener of this podcast, but he’s someone that has applied what he hears and continues to test and improve on the strategies he learns. On the Show Today You’ll Learn: How Digitsu started as a blog and why now it’s a platform and so much more than an e-commerce site The way he discovered the power of custom audiences and the importance of testing What Charlie feels differentiates Digitsu from the competition How he realized the key to Facebook marketing was using the pixel Why they go big with their free content and offer a lot more than just a PDF to people opting in How’s he’s using video to build engagement audiences

Both Charlie and Angela work as coaches. In this episode, Angela and Charlie talk about how to know when it’s time to work with a coach or a consultant. The conversation gets to the heart of some of the ways that we don’t allow ourselves to get the help and support that we might be needing. Key Takeaways: [2:28] - What Charlie and Angela often find in their work is that people will put the support they need further down the pipe. One of the common things people say is that they’ll get the help or support they need after they finish a list of certain things. Many times, this list of things is something a coach could help you do faster or more effectively. [5:23] - Angela notices that clients often express their excitement to work with her, but they say they have too much going on at the time. Again, these things are usually the exact things a coach or consultant could help with. [7:07] - It almost feels like people wait to work with a coach because they feel like they need to diagnose themselves, and heal themselves or make themselves well before they go to the doctor. Too often, Angela and Charlie cross paths with people who haven’t given themselves the permission to invest in themselves to get the support that they need. [8:46] - The busier you are, the more important it is that you have to make better decisions. When you’re busy, you’re more likely to continue to make easy decisions that don’t solve the problem, or participate in patterns that keep things going that aren’t actually conducive to making a change. Sometimes, the best time to talk with someone is during the hard parts of life - it may not be the best decision to wait for things to slow down. [11:03] - For Charlie, it’s about energy and attention. If your energies and attentions are focused on taking care of someone else or a rough situation, it may not be the best time to work with a consultant. In general though, if there’s a lot going on, chances are there will continue to be a lot going on. So that may not be the best indicator of whether you could benefit from a coach or not. [14:55] - One thing to consider is that is it more likely that you and whoever you work with will be able to co-create something to help you get out of a busy cycle, or can you figure it out faster on your own? Usually, working with a coach or consultant will allow you to figure it out faster. What would it be worth to you to have the trouble issue solved? [18:12] - Some people think they already know what they need to do to get moving in the right direction. Charlie’s question to them would be how long have you known that? If you know what you need to do, and you’re not doing it, ask yourself why. Additionally, just because you think you know what needs to be done, doesn’t mean you’re right. Having someone hold you accountable for those things can be helpful. [22:11] - It can be useful to commit to people that you’re going to do something. A good coach will ask you about these commitments, rather than just letting them go. It can be a delicate situation because you don’t want to end up in a situation where you’re frustrated to meet with your coach or consultant because they’re going to grill you about those commitments. [24:03] - Sometimes a coach will challenge you to do more than you would on your own. It’s important to make sure this is something that resonates with you. Make sure that the goals are your own, and the coach is helping you do what you already want or know you need to do. [26:26] - Angela leaves us with these thoughts: Whatever the facet of life, if there is a goal and future you see for yourself that is important to you, invest in yourself. Spend the time on yourself like you would for other people. [27:45] - Charlie leaves us with these thoughts: How is what you’re doing working for you? If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’re going to keep getting what you’re getting. At what real point in the world will you make a different decision and go about something in a new way?

  He likes to be known as the "feeder who keeps you healthy," and prefers to describe the relationship between farmer and consumer as “feeder and eater”.

In this episode he speaks about this, along with his commitment to connecting the city and country via food, knowledge, and awareness.

Eight years ago, Charlie Hoehn had no job. He submitted application after application to no avail. Only two companies offered him employment. His choices? “Back-breaking labor and a pyramid scheme,” he says. Today, Charlie turns down work. He is a speaker, an author, and a marketing strategist. His recently-released book is Play It Away: A Workaholic's Cure for Anxiety. At one point, the former unemployed man worked so much that it burned him out – but he triumphed over that, too, and wrote a book about curing stress. The turnaround is dramatic, and Charlie attributes his successful employment to his signature strategy: work for free. He didn't figure it out immediately. Charlie graduated in Colorado State University's Class of 2008 and soon faced a job market mired in recession. Bleak. Job-seeking millennials know it well. “I was just blasting out my resume to all these companies for jobs that I didn't really even want …  because that's what everyone was doing,” Charlie says. “All my friends were doing that and that's what I was told would work.” Conventional wisdom wasn't working. Go to school, submit applications, get a job – Charlie rejects that. “We get caught into these dead-end careers, and once we start buying a bunch of stuff with the money that we've earned, we've built ourselves a golden cage … that's surrounded by nice furniture and all these nice things,” Charlie says. “And then after five or ten years we think, 'Well, I can never go back, you know, I can't give all this stuff up.'”   At that point, Charlie says, “you've built your own prison.” He looks back to his days of blasting out job applications and sees a mistake. Life isn't a sprint, he says: it's a marathon. There's no need to rush for a mediocre position that doesn't interest you. He found this out firsthand – his work-for-free strategy required patience, but it took him from being an unemployed college grad to later landing jobs with Tucker Max and Tim Ferriss. In this interview you will learn:   - Tactics and strategies for curing stress and anxiety - Why we work so hard and how to slow down - Ways to connect with highly influential people - What Charlie learnt from working with world re-knowned entrepreneurs like Tim Ferriss & Seth Godin - How to become a recession proof graduate - What Charlie believes it takes to become a successful entrepreneur - & Much more of course!   I Need Your Help!     If you haven’t already, I would love if you could be awesome and take a minute to leave a quick rating and review of the podcast on iTunes by clicking on the link below.
