Gold Nuggets in this Episode: Being an entrepreneur is great because you often do have control of your time and your actions. Appreciating the opportunity to serve the community and meet with so many different people and successful business owners is a blessing. Why Rick's focus is on wealth and risk management planning for business owners, including doctors and dentists. The importance in dealing with the questions that we usually don't think about because of the business in running businesses. Understand that to enter the world of an entrepreneur involves many different things, managing of your team, recruiting your team, managing the team, your marketing, and your social media presence and your cashflow and the risks that you have to deal with. The reality that we underestimate the fact when business owners start out and they're on their own. How it makes sense for business owners to address the risk of premature death in a meaningful way   For more than 30 years as a wealth advisor, he has learned that one of the most important aspects of his role is offering peace of mind and confidence when it comes to your financial future. It starts with a strategic roadmap that clarifies your current needs and future goals to ensure you're looked after at every step of the way. Each personalized plan has a wealth and risk management strategy that is carefully constructed to find the right solutions at the right time for you, your family and your business. Rick also work hard to ensure there's a comprehensive estate plan for your family, that leaves the lasting generational security you want, a retirement income plan for comfortable living and a charitable giving plan for an impactful legacy.   Song by Adam Vitovsky / CC BY 3.0

"There was an incredible amount of pressure that I acknowledged and then just kind of wanted to tuck away in the back of my mind and not pay attention to, because if I let that take over, I would’ve been scrutinizing it, and it would’ve gotten in my head, and I wouldn’t have been able to do what I did."   Rick Powell was the official 2:45 pacer at the 2020 Houston Marathon, who led a group of several dozen women hoping to qualify for the Olympic Trials.

Rick Steele is the founder and chief marketing officer of Select Blinds, an online retailer specializing in the very best in window fashion. His company was one of the very first blinds retailers to go totally cordless in their designs, and within 10 years of launching they were able to grow revenue to over $65 million. Rick is also an expert on Internet traffic and conversion rates and believes that it’s essential to face adversity if you want true personal and professional growth. In this episode, Rick discusses how he went from selling Beanie Babies to selling blinds, elaborates on his decision to take a risk and invest in cordless blinds, and explains why he believes nothing good ever comes from being comfortable. The Finer Details of This Episode: What are some elements of ecommerce that we take for granted today that were much harder to pull off when Rick was starting out? The reason Rick chose to specialize in blinds rather than other retail products. Why Rick decided to sell his products and only his products through his website early on. The series of events that led to Rick appearing on Extreme Home Makeovers. The vital reason Select Blinds invested so much time and effort into creating cordless products and why Rick is okay with the growth it cost them. How Select Blinds got creative when it came down to competing with Amazon. Rick relates Select Blinds’ misadventures in outsourcing and what lessons he took away from that experience. Why Rick has an entire series of marathons lined up for the coming year. Quotes: “Everything kinda originated out of my one-bedroom house, and we’re now sixteen years into this game selling blinds.” “You have to create your own social proof.” “Truly it’s about the social proof it creates, and as marketers it’s up to us to create that.” “That’s all business is, that’s all marketing is: it’s solving a problem.” “Only outsource to automation and products that you know will make your life better.” “Everything that’s happened to me in my life has come through adversity.” Guest Links:Select Blinds homepage - https://www.selectblinds.com/ #GoCordless - https://www.selectblinds.com/gocordless.html Rick’s email - rick@selectblinds.com  Rick on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ricksteeleofficial/ Visit Brandon’s website at www.BrandsOnBrandsOnBrands.com Join the Brand Growth Community on Facebook at www.brandonbrands.com/community And please leave a rating and review on iTunes!

Rick Sapio is one of my personal mentors who has drastically changed my life that past few years through my participation as a student and now as a Certified Coach in Business Finishing School's program. He is a lifelong entrepreneur who started his first business - a bicycle repair shop - after the death of his father when he was just 13 years old. Rick is the 7th of nine children raised by a mother with serious, life-long mental illness. He learned early in life that it's best to think positively about the cards one's been dealt, no matter how difficult those cards appear. Since 1994, he has been the Founder and CEO of Mutual Capital Alliance, Inc., a financial holding company, which has made more than 100 investments in other companies. His life's purpose is to inspire entrepreneurship, which led Rick to start Business Finishing School (“BFS”). Rick learned that business growth and success are accelerated when a few key principles are applied. He found that by learning "The 12 Foundational Principles of Business," that virtually any individual or company can be put on the path to prosperity. He also founded the non-profit, A Billion Entrepreneurs ("ABE"). ABE motivates people to seek the freedom associated with living a purposeful life. His dream is to motivate people to learn and grow as passionate entrepreneurs, regardless of their age, their starting point, or their current position.

What is it like to work in a friendly, growth-minded office culture? And, how does that affect everything you do? This conversation between Rick and Sarah is a deep dive into what works — and what doesn’t — in the relationship between a company’s “captain,” and its crew. Plus, the difference between what college taught her about marketing, and what she’s learned in the field.   Today we hear the truth about: How “Rick is a weirdo” (inside scoop from Sarah) The 3 ways to get people to follow you: paying, using fear, or inspiring them Why Rick had to withdraw himself from the majority of the hiring process for new team members The “Wine & Whiskey Wednesdays” tradition that brings joy to their work week How Sarah’s marketing major didn’t give her all the tools needed to be effective; but studying in the business world did   The Straight Truth: If you hold someone’s employment over their head to get them to perform, you’re a sucky leader.   The One Thing: People dig themselves into a hole and assume they need help to get out. You may need that help; but you have every capability to take the action to get yourself out (and, to not fall back in…).   Sarah’s One Thing: Surrounding yourself with others who have a constructive mindset is the key to supporting your own. (And! Keep company culture in mind when looking for a job; and take every opportunity you’re given at work to learn new tools.)    Episode References: All In Growth Conference: World-class speakers, next-level networking, grow your abundance & fulfillment.

Rick Hill is the word integrity personified. Enjoy this special episode as Matt interviews his friend, partner, and mentor! Rick Hill has seen his share of market booms and busts. Cutting his investment teeth at Wharton, he first practiced investment strategy by advising his own father on his DuPont stock. (Rick was right; Dad should have sold when he told him to.) Realizing he had a passion for investing, Rick set out to become a stock broker, intent upon helping people as an investment advisor. When his first job turned out to be less advising and more selling, Rick knew he wanted to make a change. There was a distinct lack of strategy in the field at the time, and Rick felt he owed his clients more than a sales pitch. Rick decided to switch gears by utilizing his background in finance. He earned a spot at Anheuser-Busch and moved his family to St. Louis. In his time there, he helped to institute the ground-breaking practice of utilizing index funds for pension plans and 401(k)s over actively managed funds, saving the company money and providing better retirement benefits for employees.   Rick had been at Anheuser-Busch for 24 years when he decided he was ready to return to the financial services industry. He went to work for Buckingham Strategic Wealth, and shortly thereafter met Matt Hall, who would ultimately become his business partner. Over many meals together, Rick and Matt decided to capitalize on their complementary skills to create their own firm, Hill Investment Group. It was a risky move. “Would clients leave an established firm and go with two guys working in a basement?” Well, they did. Rick and Matt built their firm upon empirical evidence that supports long-term investment success, and most importantly, a desire to help their clients make a better life for themselves. When they started the company in 2005, Rick said he’d give Matt five years before he retired. Now, 14 years later, he still can’t think of anything he’d rather be doing. “I always used to think back on my day, at Anheuser-Busch and even now, ‘Was I productive today? Did I add value to somebody? Did I help a client? Did I help a co-worker? Did I contribute anything to the firm or the clients?’ And I always feel the answer is, ‘Yes.’”     Key Topics Introducing Rick. [00:42] The importance of setting modest expectations. [02:04] The value of being prompt. [04:16] Rick’s background [05:54] Finance in the 1960’s vs. today. [14:00] Rick’s time at Anheuser-Busch, and how that influenced his view of investing. [16:21] Making money through work vs. investing. [22:25] How choosing index funds over individual stocks saves time. [23:55] Shared values and complementary skills in friends and co-workers. [26:11] Rick’s transition back into the investment world. [27:33] The importance of managing fear when the market drops. [32:41] Matt and Rick’s history together. [37:30] Why Rick still enjoys work.

The Walking Dead 8×01 recap "Mercy" Aired Oct. 22 2017 The Walking Dead is BACK! Was The Walking Dead 8×01 better than we expected? Well...we gave it a B. While the season 8 premiere definitely felt like "the old show" again, it didn't have the same "WOW" factor that several of the previous season premieres had. We break down that and more in our podcast. In this podcast, we discuss: -Why this season premiere felt different that previous seasons; -Who we think are in the two graves Rick was standing over; -What those flash-forwards really mean; -Who the real Big-Bad is this season (hint: It's not Negan); -Why Rick's quote over the two graves has even more meaning than you may think; -PLUS: Our ridiculous banter and other random comments on The Walking Dead.

Rapper Dr. Dre has stated that Rubin is, "hands down, the dopest producer ever that anyone would ever want to be, ever." But Rick has a personal passion outside of music that many people don't know about... ...health, nutrition, fitness and biohacking. And in this episode, in which Rick and I sit on his back porch, watching a relaxing sunset after a hard morning of Laird Hamilton's pool workout, we have an intense discussion about veganism vs. Paleo, Rick's weight loss journey, and much more.

The current established level for Arsenic is 10mcg/day. Why Labdoor decided to use a never approved or accepted proposal in unclear. In regards to the Natural Calm supplement, here is Natural Vitality's official statement on it: "The simple truth is that Natural Calm both meets its potency label claim and is well within the No Significant Risk Levels for arsenic and in fact is less than 10 percent of California’s Prop 65 stringent safe threshold levels. This has been consistently scientifically validated by third party test results from top American testing labs as part of standard Good Manufacturing Practices. While testing results commissioned by Labdoor, when correctly interpreted, align perfectly with our results, their report contains a number of distortions which provide both a highly inaccurate picture and a disservice to consumers. We believe Labdoor is attempting to use our well-deserved, award-winning reputation to inflate their importance. Apparently their business model involves casting themselves as a “trusted source” by creating sensationalized stories to drive traffic to their website with the objective of creating profit from advertising sales and, interestingly, sales of supplements. Factual Flaws Labdoor’s Natural Calm test size was over two and a half times our recommended serving size but they did not factor that into their analysis. When correctly interpreted our results read: Magnesium was 346 mg, about a 1% variance from our label claim of 350 mg. Arsenic was .7992 of a microgram. Less than 8% of the California Prop 65 No Significant Risk safe threshold. Labdoor was approached regarding their misinterpretation of the results and asked to retract their press release, send out a corrected press release and update their website. However, Labdoor refused to admit wrong doing of any kind and continues to assert the virtue of their inaccurate position. At this point, both through the correct interpretation of the assay provided to us from Labdoor and our retest of the lot in question, Natural Calm has been clearly shown to be accurate both in terms of label claim and in following California’s Prop 65. The laboratory used by both Labdoor and Natural Vitality was the highly regarded Covance laboratories. Covance’s interpretation of test results (both Labdoors and ours) validates our position in terms of label claim and purity. Additional information is available at Natural Vitality customer service if desired (info@naturalvitality.com). Having cleared the record with scientific facts, we now consider this matter closed." I would be happy to provide you with the Certificate of Analysis that we had performed on an actual servings size instead of the 10.66g that Labdoor used, which is 2.5x our suggested serving size. -The you can use before bed at night for minerals  -The at DharmaSeed.com -  -  -  -The Ben recommends for muscle gain  -The Ben recommends for muscle gain -The  Ben recommends for muscle gain Do you have questions, comments or feedback for Rick or me?
