Finding financial freedom is the starting point, but then you have to decide how to use that freedom to live the life you want. Hear insights about: How Tim sold 2500 homes in 15 years during his real estate career, and how he made major life changes at the age of 40 after finding financial freedom How Tim overcame a difficult childhood and discovered the life he could create for himself through real estate Why allowing your ego to drive your career can be harmful, and why shelving your ego and focusing on serving others is the key to true success Why Tim hired an escrow coordinator during his second year in business to “buy himself a life” and put his financial freedom to work Tim describes the mission and purpose of his non-profit organization, “1 Life Fully Lived”, and he shares tools and resources his organization has created Why Tim chose each of his top two life mottos: “always look for win-wins” and “I'm not a victim” Why Tim focused on building a business that was efficient, effective and productive, and how it freed him to create win-wins and be present in his life Why it is important to find a place in your life where you can “fit in and thrive”, and why reinventing yourself and finding new goals can be life-changing and fulfilling Finding Financial Freedom Becoming a real estate agent can be a powerful platform for finding financial freedom… but it can also be easy to fall into the trap of always wanting more, always pushing yourself, and never actually tapping into the freedom you've created. This week's guest on Pursuing Freedom is Tim Rhode, a successful author who sold more than 2,500 homes in 15 years. At age 40, Tim realized that he wanted “off the hamster wheel”, and because of hard work and smart investments, he was able to retire and shift his focus to creating and living the life of his dreams. During our conversation, Tim shares how he decided to leave a thriving career and instead create a non-profit organization focused on lifting others up, and he discusses setting new and different goals for himself that allow him to really thrive and follow his passions! Recognizing When It's Time for Change As Tim explained, he built an extraordinary career selling real estate. His income grew exponentially, but he made minimal changes to his lifestyle and instead focused on saving and investing his money and growing his wealth. Then, by the time Tim was 40 years old, he realized that he was ready to stop grinding and follow other things he felt passionately about. Thanks to his hard work and frugal lifestyle, he was in the financial position to break out of the grind. However, Tim knew that he wanted more from his life than just relaxing or having fun all day, so he focused on building his non-profit organization “1 Life Fully Lived”, to help people who were just starting out on their path or who were overcoming tough circumstances get a leg up in life. Tim Rhode shows us that it's important to recognize when we need to make big changes in our lives, and that being courageous and stepping into those changes can bring real rewards. Leveraging Your Freedom Many of us got started in real estate because we wanted to be able to create a specific life for ourselves, and finding financial freedom was supposed to be the key to that life. But somewhere along the path it can be easy to get caught up in the competitive, workaholic lifestyle and lose track of your goals. It can be really empowering to take a step back and consider what is really important to you, then make changes to your life that give you greater alignment with your priorities. You've worked so hard in finding financial freedom, but you must not forget to take advantage of that freedom.

And to learn about his non-profit 1 Life Fully Lived or to find out how you can help them in their mission to help people create a roadmap for living their best life, please visit their website at https://1lifefullylived.org/. About Tim Rhode Tim would tell you that he got off to a slow start. After growing up in the rural town of Portola in Northern California and barely graduating high school, Tim Rhode found himself at the age of 25 working as a grocery clerk with two young children to provide for. He eventually found his “niche” selling real estate; and from 1986 to 2000, he sold over 2,500 homes and from 1997 to 2006 he invested in over 100 properties. Tim focused on saving money, keeping his expenses low, and playing solid “financial defense” which allowed him to basically retire, and he was financially free at the age of 40. Not wanting to play, hike, bike or ski all day, Tim threw his energy into his true passion: helping people thrive and live their most fulfilling life. He founded the nonprofit 1Life Fully Lived to help people of all ages gain the tools and skills they need to thrive and also co-founded GoBundance, a high-level mastermind, with David Osborn, Pat Hiban and Mike McCarthy to help healthy, wealthy, generous people lead epic lives. We have a women's tribe now! Tim has also authored numerous books and has been featured on a variety of podcasts and media outlets. He now lives near his children in the High Sierras with his wife and dog.

However, Tim gets honest with gym owners and advises them that owning a single brick and mortar gym won’t make you tons of cash.  A single location may give you a good life, you’ll get to pay yourself well, and even enjoy what you do, something many people don’t ever achieve. You can do pretty well with multiple locations, but you’ll have to contend with challenges such as managing the staff, which can be a pain in our industry.Having said that, gym owners can create multiple sources of income by diversifying their investments. You don’t have to open another gym, you could leverage your knowledge of owning a gym to other businesses, you could venture into real estate, stocks, etc.Tune in to this episode to learn more from Tim about how you can diversify into multiple sources of income from other things.Key TakeawaysWhy owning one gym won’t make you a millionaire (01:46)The challenges of owning multiple gym locations (04:27)How to diversify your investments as a gym owner (06:30)Leveraging your knowledge of owning a gym to other businesses (07:08)Systematizing your operations to free up time to do other things (10:31)How to protect your time as a gym owner (11:31)Why Tim is diversifying into real estate (14:53)Additional Resources:winninggym.com/workshop----www.PFMarketingSolutions.com/Callpfmarketingsolutions.com/automationwww.CLACourse.comwww.ProFitGPS.netMarketing Talk with Fitness Professionals Facebook Grouphttps://PFMarketingSolutions.com/Data--If you are interested in a free audit for your gym, visit http://bit.ly/free_gym_audit--You can find out more about Tim and the strategies covered in this episode by checking out our website.--Would you rather watch the video version instead?Head over to our YouTube channel to watch this episode by going here

The Lakers are still a work in progress, but they're a winning work in progress, kicking off the week with five wins in seven tries and the best point differential in the Western Conference. So what's working and what isn't? How are the new guys fitting in? To break it down, we welcome @Tim_NBA - known in NBA Twitter circles as Cranjis McBasketball - to the show. Tim runs the outstanding bball-index.com, and hosts the equally excellent Lakers Exceptionalism podcast on Twitch. He deconstructs the data, along with the x's and o's, around what the Lakers have been up to in the early going. Some of the big questions we ask... -How have the new guys fit in? What works for Montrezl Harrell and Dennis Schroeder particularly on both ends of the floor? Any reason to believe they won't be significant contributors throughout the season? That they might be vulnerable in the playoffs? -What are the Lakers doing differently on the defensive side of the ball? How has new personnel changed the way Frank Vogel has to scheme? -The Lakers are shooting the lights out from 3-point range. Why Tim thinks they have a good chance to remain one of the league's better teams from distance, which would certainly be a massive shift from recent seasons. -What exactly does an elite shooting Lakers team mean for their title chances? (Spoiler alert... it certainly doesn't hurt them.) Great stuff from one of the best analysts out there. Sponsored by Manscaped.com, BetOnline.ag, and Delicious Pizza.

Use Thought Leadership Content to Niche Down What You Will Learn: How Tim’s career started as a successful journalist before breaking into thought leadership content and marketing How Tim defines low-quality content, and why good content feels specific, narrowly focused, and personal to the target audience Why Tim and the team at Layup Content decided to only focus on the financial services and fintech industries How niching down and keeping a tight focus has helped Tim build his business and reach his ideal clients Why Tim believes his focus on the financial services and fintech niches has made it easier to get referrals from existing clients based on his depth of expertise How Tim started in thought leadership content with a book, and how the book led to other projects and opportunities Why it is important for your content to stay on voice and reflect who you are and what you truly believe How Tim coaches his clients to understand what unique voice they have to share, and what key skills business owners need to master to become great thought leaders What critical lesson Tim learned from a past mentor that made a lasting impression that still resonates in Tim’s business today Why Tim believes creative work comes down to having a plan and knowing where you want to go, and then executing on your plan Niching Down with Thought Leadership Content Maintaining a tight focus on a specific niche, rather than limiting your opportunities as you might expect, actually has the opposite effect — often opening new doors to opportunity by allowing you to demonstrate your expertise within your chosen niche. Tim Sprinkle knows this lesson well — he is the founder and Chief Strategist of Layup Content, a thought leadership and content marketing agency that specifically focuses on the financial services and fintech industries. Tim has leveraged his expertise and experience into a powerful platform for creating thought leadership content for his specific audience. The effect on his business has been profound. In this episode of Onward Nation, Tim shares how creating the right thought leadership content for the financial services and fintech niches has helped him reach his ideal clients and build out his business. Thought leadership content: Where do you start? The path to becoming a thought leader can feel overwhelming. Where do you start? What is your niche? Are you smart enough? But I have found most people can get started down the path with minimal effort if they can learn to start creating the right content. Thought leadership content comes in many, many different forms, but, the best content has a few things in common. 1) It is focused. After all, you can’t be a thought leader in everything. 2) It is deep. This is why books, research projects, and podcasts are popular places to start. 3) You are prepared to back them up with more. One piece of deep work isn’t enough. Writing a book may feel like you just ran a marathon, but the book is only the start. Tim Sprinkle spent more than 20 years in journalism, working for prestigious outlets like Yahoo Finance and Seeking Alpha. However, Tim’s first foray into thought leadership came from his book “Screw the Valley: A Coast-to-Coast Tour of America’s New Tech Startup Culture”, where he discussed how tech startups are abandoning the insular nature of Silicon Valley and finding tremendous opportunities for innovation all across America. That book became Tim’s cornerstone thought leadership content and an opportunity to slice, dice, and remix his wisdom. According to Tim, the book also opened many new opportunities to further his thought leadership and became a powerful driving force behind his business. But the book isn’t where Tim stopped. He KEPT writing great content on his specific focus for years to PROVE that he owned his position as a thought leader. The power of focusing on a niche By maintaining a focus on his specific niche of the financial services and fintech sector, Tim was able to build a deep level of understanding and expertise in the space. In short, he planted his flag of authority, and in doing so Tim has been able to get referrals from existing clients specifically because he positioned himself as an expert within that space. Tim works hard to ensure that his thought leadership content is tightly focused and reflects his unique voice, drawing from his depth of experience. In doing so, Tim is able to ensure that the thought leadership content he creates adds tremendous value for his audience. That, in turn, keeps his audience coming back for more and acts as rocket fuel for his business. About Tim Sprinkle Tim Sprinkle is the founder and Chief Strategist of Layup Content, a thought leadership and content marketing agency for the financial services and fintech industries. Before that, he spent 20+ years in journalism, working for outlets and publications like Yahoo Finance and Seeking Alpha, while writing on a freelance basis from some of the largest media brands in the world covering everything from business and finance to outdoor sports. Tim is the author of “Screw the Valley: A Coast to Coast Tour of America’s New Startup Landscape” and is laser-focused on bringing quality, thoughtful content to the world.

During turbulent times like these, there are opportunities that you can take advantage of. Things like the stock market offer a great chance to invest when the stocks are low. But as a gym owner, you may feel like this situation has handcuffed you. You've been forced to close the gym and aren't allowed to reopen yet. However, there are numerous opportunities outside of your daily routine.Being an opportunist means you are always ready to see opportunities even in a difficult situation. As gym owners, we should not just sit there in our box and wait, because these opportunities are only there for a certain period of time. You should grab any opportunity to grow your business or make some money. There was an opportunity to make as much as 3000% returns on the stock market during this time. In our case, we took advantage of some stocks that are now doing well.When an outside of the box opportunity presents itself, you have to take action quickly. You may be wrong, and all opportunities come with some risk, but as an investor, you must be prepared to take risks. One area we are looking at is real estate. We are looking at buying land and putting up a shopping center and getting the gym in there and lease the other spaces. Even though it’s a big risk, this is a big opportunity.Listen in to this episode and learn how gym owners can take advantage of some opportunities that will be opening up in the next few months.  Key TakeawaysLooking for opportunities during turbulent times (01:18)Remaining an opportunist even in difficult times to take advantage of opportunities that arise (02:48)How we jumped into some opportunities in the stock market (06:26)Why Tim is focusing on  real estate and plans for building a shopping center (08:25)Impressing your will upon your environment and your situation (11:59)Talking to other business owners outside your industry to see how they are coping (14:13)How gym owners who have future plans to open up new locations can take advantage of gyms that are closing (18:46)Additional Resources:www.PFMarketingSolutions.com/Automationwww.CLACourse.comwww.ProFitGPS.netMarketing Talk with Fitness Professionals Facebook Grouphttps://PFMarketingSolutions.com/Datawww.PFMarketingSolutions.com/Callwww.ProfitGPS.com--If you are interested in a free audit for your gym, visit http://bit.ly/free_gym_audit--You can find out more about Tim and the strategies covered in this episode by checking out our website.--Would you rather watch the video version instead?Head over to our YouTube channel to watch this episode by going here--If you don’t already have my book, get your copy FREE here.--Connect with Tim:Schedule A CallFacebookInstagramLinkedInConnect with Randy:FacebookInstagram--Subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Spotify, Google, Stitcher, YouTube or anywhere else you listen to your podcasts.If you haven't already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!

When it comes down to it, SaaS businesses are valued on their ARR, but surprisingly, some still choose to manage the metrics and analytics that come as a byproduct of their order to cash process themselves. What they need is a platform, because having a single source of truth that drives all these metrics can’t be understated. Today’s guest is Tim McCormick, CEO of SaaSOptics, a platform that provides this very service. Specifically, SaaSOptics is a subscription management platform that provides early-stage and growth SaaS businesses with subscription billing, revenue recognition, financial reporting, and robust SaaS analytics. In our conversation with Tim today, we get into his career in tech running SaaS businesses in the security and energy management space, and the multiple exits he has orchestrated. He then dives into what SaaSOptics does and how they run their business to keep seeing such big growth. He gets into how SaasOptics automates the order to cash process, effectively sitting between the CRM and the general ledger. Tim talks about the metrics SaasOptics provides, their value-based pricing model, and how they balance marketing and sales in order to grow. We hear about the structure of their sales team, and their model of product cycles based on market changes too. There are around 30 000 B2B SaaS businesses globally thus the services SaaSOptics provides can’t come at a better time, so tune in to find out what it's all about!

Tim Bratz is the CEO and founder of Legacy Wealth Holdings, a real estate investment company that acquires and transforms distressed commercial and apartment buildings into high-performance investment assets. Tim began his real estate career in 2007 brokering commercial leases in the competitive NYC real estate market, where he saw the true potential of investment real estate to transform personal finances and provide financial freedom. He spent time reading, attending workshops, and networking with accomplished entrepreneurs. Tim's resourcefulness helped him acquire his first investment property in Charleston, SC in 2009 by using his credit card to buy a duplex. Tim transformed the rundown duplex all on his own and turned a profit on his first deal. He reinvested those proceeds and began seeking private capital to expand his holdings. Today, Tim follows a simple formula to buying real estate: only invest for cash flow, only buy at wholesale prices, and force (never speculate) appreciation through value-add improvements and sweat equity. Working in real estate, Tim has learned how to build a passive business and create a residual income that allows him to live the lifestyle of his choice. Tim now focuses on educating and empowering active operators and passive investors to become financially free through commercial real estate. Tim's investment companies own over 3,200 rental units across six states. Tim is a husband and proud father, graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, mentor for the Advisor's Council mastermind, and active member of several other high-performance national entrepreneurs and real estate masterminds. What you'll learn about in this episode: How Tim and his team acquire and transform distressed apartment buildings, and how it works similarly to residential flipping Why Tim focuses more on how much income a property generates monthly rather than how many units are in the property How Tim and his team find distressed apartment buildings using networking referrals, internet searching and even traditional “driving for dollars” methods How Tim's unique financing model works on larger, more expensive properties, and how this is ideal for long term passive investors How Tim's team is structured with clear roles, and how each property they invest in has its own manager, leasing office and staff under the umbrella of Tim's business How Tim realized that he needed to change his priorities and be more present when at home with his family, and how he shifted his life balance to free more time for family life Why experiences with bad early mentors taught Tim that you can learn from both good and bad mentors Why masterminds are powerful learning and networking opportunities that give you a variety of different insights and strategies from experts What top three key actions Tim believes you can take right now that will help you get started in commercial real estate investing Resources: Website: www.legacywealthholdings.com Website: www.commercialempire.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/tlbratz YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEdNsWbAOtPrOHDUXHkedeA Additional resources: Website: www.SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/webinar Website: www.SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/termsbook Website: www.SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/ebook Website: www.SmartRealEstateCoach.com/QLS/

But what some experts say is missing is a quest to go deeper into Enneagram growth and use that knowledge for personal growth and enlightenment. In today’s episode, I’m joined by blogger and former ministry leader, Tim Branch — author of The Enneagram Growth Guide: How to become healthier in your number. In this episode we discuss: How Tim became interested in the Enneagram Why he believes there’s a lot we’re missing out on when it comes to the Enneagram and why focusing on Enneagram Growth is important The significance of the “childhood wound” and the role it plays in each person’s quest to protect and succeed Why Tim believes that each number’s traits can be representations of God’s goodness, grace and power in our lives and the world Wrapping up the show today in the Odds & Ends ending, I’m playing an audio clip shared by friend of the show, Mickela (who joined me for The Freezer Meals Episode) about the importance of getting a concussion baseline measurement for any child playing sports. And lastly, I’m sharing a water bottle recommendation that’s taking my high school friend group by storm. I’ve linked to it on my Amazon Shop page, along with all of the recommendations I’ve shared on the show. Thanks for tuning in this week for this mid-week episode. I’ll be back Monday with a regularly scheduled episode.

On today’s episode of The Rational Reminder, we once again cover a host of topics. We begin with Cameron sharing his thoughts on a book he recently finished, The Ride of a Lifetime, and some of the lessons he took away from it. We then tackle three listener questions, where we cover Mawer and index funds hypothetically driving prices. Then, in the portfolio portion of the show, we turn our attention to value premiums. Fama and French recently released a paper on the topic, and Ben is naturally very excited to share his assessment on it. We unpack how value has performed in the US, unexpected big value findings, and other takeaways from the paper. After that, we explore the total cost of ownership in our planning section. These are expenses that you incur when you begin investing. We shed light on some of them and the effect they have on your investments. Finally, we end the show with Tim Nash’s take on our assessment of sustainable investing in episode 82. His insights offer an interesting perspective on the topic. While we can’t say we’re fully on board with his active position, it’s certainly a fascinating viewpoint.

DeFi and staking are classified as two different animals. And yet, both facilitate a protocol-level interaction with a smart contract that pays a yield over time. For that reason, Tim Ogilvie and the team at Staked are playing in both arenas, helping customers put their idle crypto to use.Tim is the Cofounder and CEO of Staked, a crypto platform that helps institutional investors reliably and securely compound their crypto assets. On this episode of Wyre Talks, Tim joins us to share his team’s mission around creating an easy-to-generate yield button and offer a high-level overview of the Staked infrastructure. He walks us through the metrics the team uses to judge its performance in terms of security and reliability and explains how his experience as a validator has changed his view of the space.Tim goes on to address Staked’s first DeFi product, Robo Advisor for Yield or RAY, discussing how it outperformed several other competitive rebalancing products and why the team wants RAY to be an open standard rather than staked product. He also weighs in on the current share of alpha that Staked earns, how that benchmark rate is defined, and the decisioning models the team uses to determine their potential market impact. Listen in for Tim’s take on KYC/AML and learn the benefit of smart contracts in terms of money operating like a pool—without being truly mixed. Follow Thomas on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tomscariaFollow Louis on Twitter: https://twitter.com/louAboudHogbenFollow Tim on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tim_ogilvieFollow Staked on Twitter:https://twitter.com/staked_usToday’s Topics[0:20] Tim’s 20-year career in entrepreneurship and what drew him to crypto[1:16] What inspired Tim’s transition from Wall Street to the risky world of startups[2:44] How Tim’s work on a debt derivatives desk informs his work at Staked[4:01] Where Tim thinks the crypto space is headed in terms of financial products based on interest rates[5:45] The volatility of forward yield markets and the subsequent challenge around defining a risk-free rate in Bitcoin[6:30] What Staked looked like in the beginning[7:51] A high-level overview of the Staked infrastructure[8:38] What metrics Staked uses to judge itself and other stakers[9:31] The Staked team’s mission to make it easy to take advantage of passive opportunities in crypto + what customers need to show up with to facilitate that[10:37] Why Staked runs its servers on a combination of public cloud and on-premise infrastructure[11:12] Why Staked does not charge fees for individual pieces of infrastructure[11:42] Determining which proof-of-stake coins require high-performance infrastructure to run a node based on performance, security and decentralization[13:17] How Tim’s experience running validators has changed his view of the space[14:41] Tim’s insight on the relatively low operating costs associated with PoS networks + why secure enclaves are much more expensive[16:41] Tim’s take on the profitability of a staking-as-a-service business model[18:36] How Staked benefits from running several different networks at once[20:17] The fee pressure among validators on Cosmos + why validator fees are rising in general[21:50] Other products and services Staked might provide in building a premium product[22:46] How the common theme around putting idle crypto to use inspired Staked’s DeFi vision[24:36] Staked’s first product in the DeFi space and how it works[25:22] How RAY might evolve to support more sophisticated pricing and evaluate risk[29:11] The DeFi opportunities the Staked team might add to RAY (i.e.: staking, liquidation tools)[29:51] How pricing is likely to evolve for RAY’s option to bid on underwater loans[31:10] How RAY outperformed several other competitive rebalancing products + how it will be better able to take advantage of opportunities and service new markets as its pool increases[33:51] Tim’s thoughts on KYC/AML + the advantage of smart contracts in terms of money operating like a pool without truly being mixed[36:19] How RAY is creating SPVs to bridge centralized lending services[37:10] Why the Staked team wants RAY to be an open standard rather than staked product[38:46] The decisioning models the team uses to determine their potential market impact[40:11] How RAY earns revenue in lieu of fees[40:46] The RAY token model and Staked’s approach to developing a decentralized product[41:50] The current share of alpha that Staked earns and how the benchmark rate is defined[42:48] Tim’s vision for the future of RAY + its potential distribution play to wallets and exchanges[44:52] Opportunities around forwards, spot prices and other DeFi functionalities that developers are exploring with the latest Staked tech[46:05] The most-requested features Staked customers are asking for[46:50] Tim’s prediction that the space will move toward a fixed interest rate model[48:24] How Tim thinks about Staked’s role in helping protocols define their own risk properties[49:41] How customers maintain their role in governance while Staked serves as a technical pass-through[50:19] Tim’s insight around smart contract insurance and the challenges associated with pricing it effectively[51:57] The demand for building an effective borrowing product[52:22] Tim’s view of early exit opportunities as the next big thing in the passive income space[53:16] How validators think about the nuances of high inflation vs. low inflation coins[56:34] Tim’s advice around recruiting capital for hobbyists interested in running a node[57:42] Why Tim is excited about projects like Cosmos, Polkadot and Keep in allowing for interchain activity

Fifty years ago, there was not a venture capital industry, and there were not a lot of people who would give you money and risk that money on a startup, and people just bootstrapped their businesses. Do you think the mentality of starting a business has changed and entrepreneurs think differently now? (14:18) - Has there been a time when you've backed an entrepreneur who you've felt did not have the right business model or hadn't figured out all the aspects of their business, but you truly believed in the entrepreneur? (16:48) - What are some failures that you've had in your journey as a venture capitalist? (19:13) - What is some advice that you can give to the Gritty Founders listening to this episode?

What is NLP and how can the skillset help you in your coaching and training business? More importantly, how can you ensure it can make you money? NLP is arguably a powerful skillset to have in your arsenal of competencies as a trainer. Tim Robins – today’s guest – qualified in NLP and has found great success in using it to help himself. clients and friends over the years. But, before you rush out and invest in any qualification like NLP, you need to run a cost-benefit analysis. Run the numbers Here on this show, we are primarily concerned with your success as a business owner and that means running a profitable and sustainable training business. Any investment in skills for your or your people has to be done on the basis that you are going to generate a return on investment in a reasonable period of time. Make sense? “To get to the NLP Trainer level, you are probably going to have to invest 15- 20K and at least three years. Many of the NLP Trainers I know say that it’s a constant battle to fill seats…”  In Episode 17, we talked with Mark Houlihan who was considering investing in a psychometric evaluation qualification to sell to clients. Turns out he had lots of options and ways to save money. We guided him on the kinds of questions to ask himself in order to clarify whether he could make his money back and on whether It was the right thing to do given his financial situation. There is no rush. So take your time, conduct your research and examine the numbers. Hire coachable people Do you have plans to hire or have you already grown a team around you? What have you learned? Tim has plans to grow his business now that he is at full stretch. “I would like to have a team of 10 high-quality trainers whom I have personally invested in so I can cater for bigger numbers because that brings out the coach in me…” Lots of trainers grow their business to a point where they – sometimes unexpectedly – have to find ‘associate trainers’ in order to meet business demand. Has that already happened to you or is it something which you hope to have to do someday? In a future episode, we’ll dedicate an entire show to helping you to find your first hires, specifically other trainers who won’t let you down. Tim believes that the best associates for his training business, are those who possess charisma, are passionate, are incredibly good at what they do (yet) are humble enough to listen to others. The key point is that your hires have to be good but they need to be coachable and willing to learn your way so they can represent your brand. Since they’ll be taking the lead from you….Ask yourself:  “Am I coachable?” Biggest takeaways for you today:  What Tim is looking for in new associate trainers for his team Which lesson Tim learned by moving countries with his business How Tim came up with his great brand name and logo What you need to get the confidence to be great on video How to get powerful referrals to new clients for your business Why Tim thinks there is a business in working with schools Some helpful resources:  Inner Leader – Tim Robin’s training business website James Wedmore – Video coach and online business ‘guru’ Pre-Suasion – Dr. Robert Cialdini’s book on leveraging others Recommended – Tony’s Lopata’s book on getting referrals

The question today is about the NSF certification. What is important to know about the NSF certification on product labels and can you please explain what it is? Tim Caron: The NSF is a third-party group that evaluates products and how we're looking at supplements. A lot of it's unregulated so we need to have some sort of intervention in regards to saying what the ingredients are, saying that they actually have them, someone following through with them, and why that's important for you as a customer. Potentially you're an athlete, potentially you're someone who's under the guidelines of testing and seeing if you're actually under other substances that are not conducive to a competitive and equal playing field. NSF comes in and meets us in the middle in providing a service that makes companies hold themselves to a higher standard and the process to go through that is fairly rigorous. Having that piece of mind, knowing that a company went that extra step to actually really follow through and have integrity to make sure that they're providing really high quality products that actually say what they mean, that makes a big difference. As an athlete, as someone who's competitive, or just wants a higher quality, NSF is something you should really look for in your supplements. [/jbox] Get value from the podcast?

As you’ll learn, Tim and T.A. met by happenstance at Baby Bathwater—an entrepreneurial event hosted in Croatia—where they quickly realized their shared enthusiasm for science, technology, and longevity. Tim’s approach to health optimization stems from his passion and commitment to everything he does; what Tim calls his “all-in or nothing” mentality. As an entrepreneur, Tim is a specialist in psychology, neuro marketing, cognitive hypnotherapy, conversion rate optimization and SEO. His expertise in digital marketing is rooted in his own experiences as the founder of a very successful e-commerce business, and over 13 years experience of search engine marketing and psychology. He has a keen interest in body language and human behavior led him to study and gain various Oxford University recognized qualifications, including a Diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy (HPD), a Master Practitioner certification in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and NVQ in Business Management. His growing interest in optimal health, having a sharp and clear mind (and “biohacking”) has also led him to open the first Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy clinic in London. In this episode of How to Live to 200, T.A. explores some really interesting and less popular areas with Tim. We ask and answer questions on biohacking, mercury poisoning, gut bacteria, and more. Here’s a sample of what we cover: How Tim used the Ketogenic diet and Bulletproof Coffee to kickstart his journey to biohacking and health optimization Why Tim doesn’t like the term “biohacker” What symptoms allow him to easily detect mercury toxicity in strangers What tests Tim recommends to measure your mercury levels What foods to avoid if you’re worried about mercury toxicity What farm-raised salmon can do to your body and brain Should you have your old fillings removed?

We tend to believe that leaders have all the answers. But the truth is, real leadership is about a willingness to reach out to people with a wide range of knowledge and expertise, solicit feedback, and take the responses to heart. Tim Fargo is an American entrepreneur, author and angel investor. He was the founder and CEO of Omega Insurance Services, a business he sold in 2003 for $20M. In 2013, Tim was using social media to market his book, Alphabet Success, and getting increasingly frustrated with the time it took to schedule evergreen posts. He asked friend and colleague Len Sixt to develop an app for his personal use, and that tool eventually became Tim’s current business, the popular automated social media posting system known as Social Jukebox.  Tim sits down with Emerald to explain why you should avoid chasing an ideal and set goals that work for you. He speaks to his decision to walk away from a $20M business, discussing how the company’s growth and advice from peers informed his choices. Tim walks us through the inception of Social Jukebox, describing how his own frustration with posting consistently to promote his book led to the creation of the tool. Listen in for Tim’s insight on creating a support system of people who possess a wide range of knowledge and learn why true leaders seek out feedback—and really listen! What You Will Learn Why you should avoid chasing an ideal and set goals that work for you How Tim fostered the courage to walk away from a $20M business How little Tim’s relationships or lifestyle changed after selling Omega Tim’s view that the people in your life are most important Why Tim prefers the comradery of a smaller organization How Tim’s frustration with posting consistently inspired Social Jukebox The value in repetitive sharing on social media How Tim continues to leverage relationships from a 2003 mastermind   Tim’s insight on a leader as someone who reaches out to experts How Tim uses travel as a way to celebrate success Connect with Tim Fargo Social Jukebox Resources Alphabet Success by Tim Fargo Connect with Emerald GreenForest Creative Age Consulting Group Emerald’s Website Emerald on LinkedIn Emerald on Twitter Email: listeners@menonpurposepodcast.com This episode is sponsored by the Creative Age Consulting Group.

Today’s guest, Tim Storey, is someone I’ve wanted to have on Earn Your Happy since before it was officially a thing. So you can imagine that I was practically levitating from excitement (and let’s be honest, I still am) to chat with him. If you’ve never heard of Tim, you’re missing out because he’s a master at moving people into action and helping people turn setbacks into comebacks. Seriously, when Tim speaks his energy comes out of his pores!   Realizing early on he wanted to help heal others, in our conversation we talk about where it all began (picture seven people in a two-bedroom house) and how he credits his upbringing to helping him think big in small places. We touch on spending time with people who get you (your tribe) and why we all need to start paying attention and be an observer to all the discoveries around us.   You may want to listen to this episode twice (I know I’ll be listening again) just to take in each and every one of his wisdom-filled words. I can’t wait to hear your takeaways!   --   Question Highlights: How did you become a speaker? How can we enjoy the discovery while in the recovery zone? Do you still have slumps and dry spells? What are some of the key things that help you speak with full expression, and how did you get to that place? What made you hold onto what your 6th grade teacher told you and make it your north star? What made it stand out? For people who feel like they need to change to be something or they don’t feel like they’re ready for the “thing,” what would you tell them? Do we have to make an empowering reason as to why we’re in a “winter?” How do you know the distinction of when to share certain things with others? How does one not get intimidated by the thought of mastery, but instead be almost pulled by their message to mastery? How do people know when to go to the next level of work?   In This Episode We Talk about: What moved Tim to become a speaker and help heal others Why the recovery zone is the common denominator Staying in the moment during your discovery Going back to being curious and innocent again Changing the channel of what you’re thinking and how Tim shifts his channel Tuning into the right things at the right times Being with people who get you (your tribe) Why Tim still holds onto his 6th grade teacher’s standard Breathing life into others through speaking Why people oftentimes must go left before they go right What Tim did when he was served papers while he was speaking at an event Why your testimony is the most powerful thing you have The Law of Harvest Why we can’t look for results every day And so much more…   Quotes “Unlock your discovery just by paying attention and observing.”   “If you’re not careful, life will knock the curiosity out of you.”   “Feed your faith, starve your doubt.”   “What I say, I live.”   “Set to be settled to be seasoned to soar.”   “You are seasoned for a reason. “   “You can handle the left and right at the same time.”   “Not all things should be spoken…some things should be left behind.”   “Don’t get stuck in the result.”   -- Tim Storey is an acclaimed author, speaker and life coach, well known for inspiring and motivating people of all walks of life, from entertainment executives, celebrities and athletes to adults and children in the most deprived neighborhoods in the country.

Excited to kick off the podcast with special guest and close friend Tim Ferriss, lifehacker, podcaster extraordinaire, and author of multiple best-selling books that includes The 4-Hour Workweek, The 4-Hour Body, Tools of Titans, and Tribe of Mentors. In this podcast we cover mental health, depression, and our mutual interest in psychedelics as potential therapeutic agents. Tim talks both experientially and from his own deep dive into the literature of psychedelics and mental health. Tim is shifting his focus from investing in startups to funding experiments that he hopes will establish more reliable knowledge and therapeutic options for those suffering from anxiety, depression, and addiction. Tim also shared his list of acquired wisdom he returns to most reliably, which might be worth the price of admission alone.   We discuss: Tim’s history of depression and his TED Talk on his close call with suicide [11:15]; The type of thinking that triggers Tim’s downward spirals [17:15]; Tim’s transformative experience with ayahuasca [48:45]; How Tim’s experience and research has led him to focus on furthering the science on psychedelics and mental health [53:00]; What some of the meditation modalities, and meditation apps, are out there, why meditation can be so hard to do, but also worthwhile to stick with [1:13:00]; Why Tim made a big commitment (more than $1 million) to funding scientific research, and to psilocybin and MDMA research, in particular [1:31:00]; From all the habits and tools that Tim has learned, the five things that he returns to most reliably [2:33:00]; And more.

I first met Tim Corcoran when I was looking for a local plant expert to teach me more about wild plant foraging.  Not only did he come to my house to record , but we also shot a host of videos in which he taught me and my boys how to harvest plants from our land such as wild nettle, mullein, comfrey, oregon grape root, wild mint and beyond. This guy is a true wealth of wilderness knowledge.  As a matter of fact, each year I send my children to attend his wilderness survival camp and also his winter adventure camp. Tim himself is a heart centered father of two brilliant boys and husband to a magnificent wife. Recently, I was talking to Tim about the concept of vision quests and rites of passage - for both youth and adults alike, and he told me about a new program he is creating to achieve just that - a program based on a concept he calls "Purpose Mountain".  Tim is the founder of Purpose Mountain, where he offers Nature Based Purpose Guidance to support people with a love for wild nature who feel a deep yearning and a burning desire to discover their purpose, as well as work with resistance and fears through the Ecology of Self and Voice Dialogue. Tim also serves as co-Director of Twin Eagles Wilderness School, an organization he co-founded with his wife, Jeannine Tidwell, in Sandpoint, Idaho in 2005 dedicated to facilitating deep nature connection mentoring, cultural restoration, and inner tracking.

Are you committed to your marketing strategy? Do you even have specific marketing strategies? Unfortunately, many massage therapists model their marketing after what they have seen others do, even if it doesn’t work! Statistics show that 90% of massage therapists will leave the industry within the first five years. Doesn’t that indicate that it’s time to take a unique and fresh approach to our marketing practices? I’m excited to have Tim Cooper joining me today. He’s a remedial massage therapist, coach, author, podcaster, and educator. Prior to studying massage in 2003, he worked as a software design engineer and business analyst for over 20 years. In 2013, he completed his first marketing course and fell in love with the science of marketing and social psychology. Tim brings a unique blend of industry, technical, and business knowledge to his coaching clients and students around the world.

Running Small Businesses and Beginning To Know What You Don’t Know, With Tim Fulton.   Episode 18: Show Notes.   Our guest today is Tim Fulton, my Vistage coach. Tim is the Vistage Chair to some of the most successful CEOs in Atlanta. It’s why in 2013 he launched the Small Business Matters Conference, which has become an all-star, exclusive gathering that attracts some of the best small business owners in the state. And it’s why he’s a tireless advocate for small businesses, every single day. Small Business Matters is owned and operated in Atlanta, Georgia by Tim Fulton. Tim is a nationally-recognized small business coach, consultant, and advocate. He has been involved in the field of entrepreneurship for over three decades as a successful business owner, small business counselor, and adjunct university professor. Vistage is an international membership organization for company CEO’s and Presidents that provides a very unique growth experience for its members. In addition, Tim is a facilitator for the University of Georgia SBDC’s GrowSmart training program, which is designed for growth-oriented small business owners, operators, and executives.   Each year, he celebrates small business with the Small Business Matters Conference, gathering his tribe and beyond to dedicate a day to the development and success of the businesses that drive the U.S. economy. Small business stimulates international trade, helps the young get started, and encourages innovation. In today’s episode Tim is sharing on what Vistage is but the short of it is that in business we’re really good at what we do but we don't know what we don't know about business and it was with that that I went looking for somebody like Tim.

''You never know until you do it.'' - Tim Conners What preconceived notions and limiting beliefs are holding you back from dreaming big and living life fully? When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone and did something courageous? In this powerful conversation, my friend Tim Conners, will challenge you to see life from a whole new perspective! At the young age of 15 Tim’s life was thrown upside-down after receiving a diagnosis of t-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. For about three months Tim would find himself in remission from the cancer, but before he had time to catch his breath it was back. Not only was it back, but this time it was attacking his optic nerves in his eyes. In approximately 48 hours Tim would lose his sight, but the real concern was how to keep him alive. Tim would go on to receive a bone marrow transplant. What was supposed to save his life almost took him in the process. He experienced heart, lung, and kidney failure. Against all odds including doctors who prepared his family for their last goodbyes, he would make it. Tim has chosen to use this life changing experience to gain a positive perspective and says it has "opened up his eyes to everything that was in front of him”.  Although he still faces complications today, he continues to persevere through them, and work toward his mission of living life fully, making a difference, and redefining possible. Tim is attending his senior year at Ithaca College, studying "Communications Studies" in New York and has already taken a path as a motivational speaker, a blind adventurer, and released his first book It’s Impossible Until You Do It. He believes people can move mountains if they move them together, and on May 22nd he is embarking on his latest endeavor called “MounTimPossible” to climb the highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro. His goal is to raise money for the organizations that not only saved his life, but gave him the strength to start living again so they can provide the same services to other children like him as well. I got the pleasure of meeting Tim a few years ago, while giving a speech at Ithaca College. His story and outlook on life completely inspired me and I’ve been fortunate to call him my friend ever since. Today, Tim is here to share his story with the Front Row Factor community. His sense of adventure, desire to live big, and his profound ability to see the world, despite being blind, is truly inspiring. Tim will show you that anything in life is possible if you willing to put your mind to it. Here’s a quick breakdown of our chat… [10:09] Why nothing is impossible if you’re willing to set your mind to it. [14:38] Find out how Tim beat Cancer, pushed through the adversity of losing his vision, and why he’s now taking on the challenge of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.    [23:30] How to prioritize what matters the most, live life fully and never take no for an answer. [27:19] America’s Ambassador of Hope shares his 5 principles to becoming successful. [31:50] Find out how Tim’s commitment to adventure has raised over $10,000 and is positively impacting the world. [33:22] Why Tim said “YES” to Mt. Kilimanjaro and what it can teach you about capitalizing on the present moment. [37:29] Learn how you can help yourself by serving others. [43:46] Why it’s so important to surround yourself with the right people. [47:10] How to structure a challenging environment that brings out the best in you. [56:42] Tim shares a powerful memory that will teach you about what it means to truly see the world! ''I believe we can move mountains if we move them together.'' - Tim Conners Enjoying the show?

Tim Ferriss is the author of the 4-Hour Workweek, as well as the new book, Tools of Titans. He’s also the host of The Tim Ferriss Show, which is one of my favorite podcasts, and an inspiration for this show. Tim is a relentless optimizer, and on his program, he interviews fascinating people to discover how they work, think, and get things done. It’s a show about the secrets of high performers. Here, I ask Tim about basically the reverse of that. How does he think about the parts of his life that, though crucial, are harder to optimize and systematize? We discuss friendship, love, psychedelics, spirituality, death, health, and whether it’s possible to get too addicted to productivity hacks. Amidst all that, we dig into:-Why Tim’s house is filled with reminders of his eventual death-Why he tries to build new friendships atop a foundation of shared suffering-Why he hasn't written a book on romantic relationships and probably won't-How productivity goes bad-How a serious bout of Lyme disease changed how he lives his life-Why some strange experiences on psychedelics convinced him there’s much more to this world than we understand-The difficulty of describing a sneeze-How his interviews have evolved since doing his podcast-What he feels constitutes good adviceOn his own show, Tim is always trying to offer takeaways and lessons about how to live, and he does that here, too. This episode is packed with ideas you can apply to your own life.

This was a great conversation I had with Tim JP Collins all about anxiety. A few years ago, Tim was a guy who'd done fantastically well in his career, yet lived with a secret case of crippling anxiety and panic attacks. In fact, they were so bad that they almost wrecked his career, relationships and entire life. Despite being offered medication, Tim finally got to the route cause and solved his anxiety issues naturally. Now, he's left that high level job and shares his anxiety story on his own podcast and coaches others on dealing with this sometimes debilitating mental illness. So it was amazing to talk about this on today's show. In The Episode, We Talk About... Tim's story of being crippled with panic attacks and anxiety to becoming a coach helping others get through similar issues. Why Tim's 'deferred life plan' of working for retirement helped bring on anxiety. Why alignment to yourself and your values is key for overcoming anxiety. How to find the route cause of anxiety and inner struggle. The importance of community vs. isolation. How food and lifestyle can be huge for anxiety and mental health sufferers. The often taboo, yet vitally important, gluten and autoimmune aspect to mental health. Why speaking YOUR truth is so vital. Why your story doesn't need to be perfect (and probably never will be).

Tim gives the emotional back story of Gardy, the currently missing son of a friend, in Haiti. He talks about recent efforts to rescue him and a little about how Gardy helped start Operation Underground Railroad.   Interview w/ Tim Ballard Mark Mabry January 20, 2015   Tim:          Welcome to Slave Stealer Podcast. Tim Ballard here with Mark Mabry, and we're going to talk today about the story that really started Operation Underground Railroad. It's the story of a man named Guesno Mardy who is a Haitian man whose son was kidnapped, trafficked, from Port-au-Prince. He was the pastor of his congregation, and this boy was taken from church, passed on to traffickers, and vanished. What's horrible about this story is that while he's looking for his boy - he's only two or three weeks into the search - and that's when Haiti has that earthquake that kills 300 and some thousand people. Included amongst those people were Guesno's mother, Guesno's sister, and almost his wife. She was the only person who survived in this building that collapsed and only because her body fell into, like, a crevasse of cement jungle and somehow walked out without a scratch. And that's when she said...she basically cursed the land and said, "I'm leaving. My son's been kidnapped." She had four other children at the time and she says, "I'm outta here. I'm going to Florida. I cannot live in this cursed land." And Guesno says, "I can't leave without Gardy." So they're still married and everything, but he lives in Haiti because he will not leave until he finds his son. Mark:      And she lives in Florida. Tim:           She lives in Florida. Mark:       That was a lot to take in for an opening paragraph. Tim:          Yeah. How'd you like that one? Mark:       That was big. Tim:           Yeah. Mark:       Let's just start here, then. Let's start into the narrative, because you gave us a good context. Take me to the first time you ever spoke to Guesno. What was your situation at the time? And what was his response? Tim:        I was a government agent when I heard about the case - and the reason I heard about the case was because this little boy Gardy actually was born in the United States. His parents were on a fundraising mission. They have an orphanage, beautiful orphanage, that we visit often, and it has 150 kids in it. They're on a fundraising mission, and that's when Guesno's wife, Marjorie, was pregnant with Gardy, had Gardy - he's a U.S. citizen. He's the only of the of the five kids, the (now) five kids, that's a citizen, so I...naturally, I heard about the case. There was some press on it, and I was reading about it - not very much press, but a little bit. And I thought, "I wonder what's happening with this little U.S. citizen who's been taken?" So I started digging into it, found out that the case had been given over to the Haitian national police. There were some federal agents who went down in the wake of the kidnapping and then the earthquake happened and all hell broke loose and they just had no leads. At that point, though, very few were looking for Gardy, relatively speaking, at the time, and then when the earthquake hits, there's no infrastructure. Prisons broke, people were running out of jail... I mean, there was no resources to do anything like a proactive investigation for a missing person. Mark:       How many displaced children were there in the wake of the earthquake? Do you know? Tim:           Oh, it's hundreds of thousands. Hundreds of thousands. Mark:       So one missing already, it's a... Nobody cares. Tim:          Oh...later on, we went and talked to the Haitian police about the Gardy case, and they said, "Look, we care about this case, but the problem is, we get a missing person or missing kid report every week, several a week. Dozens." Mark:       I want to know about the first phone call. Tell me about the first time you connected with Guesno. Tim:           I was trying to work this case from the government. I actually opened a case on it, but because there were no leads and it would have required a trip down there to even find leads, that's not enough to get anyone to sign off on a plane ticket. So what I decided to do was reach out to him. I found a connection between him and me, someone who knew both of us, and they reached out to him and we got him up here with private funding. We got him up... We flew him from Haiti to up into Salt Lake City. Mark:       Him alone, or him and his wife? Tim:           Just him. Mark:       Ok. Tim:           And we met at Thanksgiving Point, which is an area that has restaurants and dining. And I foolishly invited him to the nicest restaurant at Thanksgiving Point. I thought I was doing something kind, and he walks in... He totally feels out of place, he sits down. We order this food, and he's looking at it - this is my first impressions of him. He comes in, we're just kind of talking, small talk. And we order this food, and they bring it out, and then he's just like, "This could feed ten of my kids for a week..." Mark:       I hate people like that. Debbie Downer. Here you are at this... Tim:           Oh, yeah. Mark:       I'm just kidding, I don't hate Guesno. Tim:           No, but he was completely just honest and genuine. He just took, like, a little bit of the food for himself - like, a tiny bit - and then asked for it... He was leaving the next morning, so he's like, "This food won't perish. I'll be able to take it back to my kids." Mark:       His kids meaning...the kids at the orphanage... Tim:           The kids at the orphanage. Mark: Wow. Tim: So that made me feel like, oh. Well, I mean, I was grateful that, I guess, some of the food got to go back.. I think he had to smuggle it through customs, to be honest with you; I don't think you are supposed to take food, but he probably figured out a way.         So we sat there, and we started talking about it. And it was a punch to the stomach when he said to me... It was one of the first... He kind of led out with this. I said, "What are you doing right now to find your son? Like, what's the plan?" And he said, "The plan is... All I have right now is zero leads..." Except, he did have a target location. He knew of a place that he believed Gardy had gone through this illicit orphanage. He had tried to get in, he couldn't get in... He said, "You're not going to be able to get in. No one can get in there." He rented... he used to rent, like, a motel or a room in a building across the street. He'd get up on the roof with binoculars and tried to look into this place. It's like a fortress kind of thing. And these kids... It's just on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince. He says he's tried to get in several times and no one will let him in. It's all walled off, gated off, because you can't get in. Mark:       Pause button. This may be a cultural thing or personality thing: if you thought your son was behind those walls, what would you do? Would you not, guns blazing, go in.? Tim:           The police told him, "If you can find a kid in there that you can tell us you've seen your son - you can show us some pictures of it - we will raid the place." Short of that he... You know, I think part may be a cultural thing, partly he doesn't understand, like... I don't know. I mean, I would have been more aggressive, sure. I would've just gone in... Mark:       Yeah. Tim:           ...and made a ruse or excuse for going in or whatever. But, in fact, that's what we end up doing. Mark:       But, but they knew him, as Will disclosed. so there was no ruse. Tim:           They knew him. Yeah, they knew him, they knew him and so it was even more difficult for him to get in. And Haiti's also a culture of, you know, people don't want to... It's a very violent culture, right? I mean, everyone's seen someone murdered. And so people are very careful about stepping out into anything. They don't want to get involved. They don't want to get wrapped into it. There's traffickers and thugs involved with kidnapping this boy, and so no one wants to step in, so Guesno was just alone. Even he has to be careful how far he goes; he might create a situation where he's off'd. Mark:       If someone will kidnap, they will murder. Tim:           Absolutely. Mark:       I think, in general. It's a blatant disregard for life. Tim:           Especially in Haiti. Mark:        Yeah. Tim:           Yeah. So he's just... He told me that's what he does. Aside from that piece of intelligence... And he says there's no way of getting in there and he wasn't even 100% that he was still there - he was certain that Gardy, at least at one point, had been trafficked through this place. But he still held out for the possibility that he could be anywhere in Port-au-Prince or anywhere in Haiti or anywhere in the world, for that matter. But he told me that he arbitrarily picked a neighborhood in the city, in Port-au-Prince, and he would just walk. He would just walk with a flashlight, hoping. And I remember, we were sitting there having this dinner, and he says...and this is what really, really hit me. He said, "I just walk the streets hoping to hear Gardy's cry." And I said, "How do you pick the area?" He said, "I just pray and I just pick an area." The scarier the area, the better. Mark:      Wow. Tim:          ...he said. And he just walks and hopes to hear Gardy's cry. I said, "Guesno, that's not a good enough plan. You gotta come up with a better plan." And he says, "I know, you need to help me." And then he starts telling me...he starts tearing up, and he says, "Do you have kids?" And I said, "Yeah, I have kids." He said, "Can you imagine laying down and falling asleep in your home, on any given night, knowing that you have a small child whose bed is empty? And he's somewhere outside, you have no idea where. Could you just lay down, knowing that the bed is empty?" I said, "No. There's no way." " Well, I haven't slept for years." Mark:       Asking you, as a man of faith: knowing Guesno's faith - and that'll show up further on down the story - how do you reconcile that much prayer? And that much... I'm talking thousands of prayers - not only his, but those of his wife and kids, those of now tens of thousands of people that have heard...millions of people that have heard of Guesno and prayed... For Gardy not to be found yet, it hurts. Like, it doesn't destroy my faith, but it certainly goes, "Oh, come on. This one's worthy." How do we reconcile that gap? Tim:           Well, I've had these talks with Guesno, and he says...he believes there is a higher purpose for this. He believes that Gardy's alive. He believes that Gardy will be rescued, but there's a reason why he hasn't been rescued yet. As I continue to tell you the story about how Operation Underground Railroad got involved with the search for Gardy, it's almost a prophecy fulfilled, what happens. Mark:       Real quick, to be clear, first Tim Ballard got involved in searching for Gardy. And during that search, Operation Underground Railroad was born. Tim:           Yes. Because of that search, it was born. I tried to, first, investigate this case as a government agent, but like I said, there just wasn't any leads. I mean... There really wasn't any leads except for this one orphanage that I couldn't get a hold of the case file. You don't just call Haiti and say, "Hey, can you send the case file?" There is no federal agencies, law enforcement agencies, like Homeland Security or FBI; they didn't exist in Haiti. Trying to get the case file would have been... I tried to, but no one could get it for me. The way Haiti works is you gotta just show up at places and be persistent until you get to the boss, and then you ask the boss, and then he can make a decision. So, I needed to get boots on the ground to even verify the validity of whatever lead we had, particularly this illegal place, that according to Guesno, held children, and that Gardy had been trafficked through that place. So, I tried to get down there and I just couldn't. I knew I wasn't going to be able to, there just wasn't enough information...the crime, even though it was a U.S. Citizen, had occurred in Haiti under Haiti jurisdiction... The-the-the-the-um Federal agents had gone down in the wake of that, like I said, but they found nothing and came home, and they just turned the case over to the Haitian police. And that was it. That was it. So, because I'd made the promise to Guesno that night, I told him, "I will do everything I can do to... and I will never stop looking, until we find your son". And I had made that promise, and then here I am completely unable to fulfill that promise. Because I opened the case on it, I couldn't go down on my own dime and my own time... It would've been a major conflict, and against policies, and... I wouldn't have been able to use any government contacts I had...and so, because it wasn't an authorized investigation, an authorized trip, to go down there. So I knew the only way that I was going to be able to fulfill the promise to Guesno was to leave the government altogether and go down as private organization, as a private investigator. Mark:     And so, I'm assuming you tapped big reserves of cash and that you had sitting there. Tim:        Oh yeah, I had a... The government pays me quite a bit with my bonuses, and...no. [scoffs] Mark:     And your stock options... Tim:        And stock options and, you know, Uncle Sam provides. So...so yeah, we had no money. Mark:     What I'd like to do here... And I love this, how it's building... You make a promise, and in order to fulfill his promise, you've got to give up everything. In searching for this little boy, everything comes back in droves, and you're still searching. It's a...yeah. Talk about the birth, a little bit, of Operation Underground Railroad, because it fits. Those that watch The Abolitionists, the movie that's coming out May 16th, you've got to understand that there's more to the Gardy story, like the birth of Operation Underground Railroad. Tim:        Right. That's right. Mark:     So, go with, kind of the... Let's go long-form here. Just give me how it was born, in context of Gardy. Tim:        Well, I'll say this... We've talked a little bit up about Colombia, there were... It really was two cases that birthed the Underground Railroad. It was Gardy, and then also a promise I had made to Colombia, to the Colombian authorities, as a government agent that we would come and execute this plan that we had designed to rescue kids in Cartagena. So, both of those were weighing on me. Mark:     So, personally, your personal integrity was being compromised by constraints in your current position. Tim:        Yeah, and it was naïve and foolish of me to make the promises, frankly. Mark:   Or inspired. Tim:        Or inspired. One or the other. Often, those are one in the same, right? So, um...uh... Yeah, we've talked about Colombia, but this... Both of those together birthed Operation Underground Railroad. Mark:     Colombia fail op, actually, right? That was your first op, we talked about before? Tim:        Yeah, that was the very first operation in Colombia... That was a plan that had actually been planned a year earlier, or maybe more than a year earlier, when I was as a government agent in Colombia, training federal police down there on how to do trafficking cases, and we have decided that we would, instead of just doing the training, that we would actually do a case. And I promised we'd be back to execute, and then I couldn't get back. So, it was it was a similar situation in both these cases, and are happening at about the same time. I can't go to Haiti and help Guesno, and I can't go to Colombia to help the Colombian federal agents. Mark:     And when you got to Colombia, you weren't allowed to... The case got stymied, right? It got shut off? It was a technical failure? Tim:        Yeah... Mark:     And you're taking us to Haiti, here in the second, where, in terms of objectives... We didn't come home with Gardy, and it's interesting... Two kicks in the teeth, right off the bat... Tim:        Yeah. Mark:     Yet, you plow through. Tim:        Yeah. Mark:     It's cool. So keep going with Gardy. Tim:        So, we go to Port-au-Prince, because of the police station, we open the case file. Sure enough, there's plenty of leads. Guesno's right. This orphanage is illicit, if you can call it an orphanage... This place where children are being kept is most certainly a [pause, stutters] prime suspect. Mark:     Why? Tim:        Several reasons. One had to do with the fact that when Gardy went missing, the-the-the-the, um leader of the organization, this orphanage started showing up, and they knew each other. There was an acquaintance there, which is usually how kidnappings happen. Mark:     She went to Guesno's church. Tim:        Yes. She went to Guesno's church. Mark:     She was one of the members of his flock. Tim:        That's right. And that's usually how these things happen, unfortunately. It's usually someone who knows... They know, they have an inside angle. So she starts showing up randomly, like, after, like, snooping around, like, showing up with the family when they're meeting with the police, and they're just like, "Why are you here? We don't know you that well..." Like, why? And then the police turned on, started investigating her, and she just disappeared... Stopped coming to church. At the same time, they made an arrest in the case of another flock member, who actually worked for Guesno at the orphanage, and was fired for embezzling money. Interestingly enough, he ends up being the one who, dead to rights, was the one who actually did the physical kidnapping of Gardy, and then gave him to a bunch of thugs. His thought was that they were just going to ransom the kid off, and they knew from phone records that it was clearly him who was making the calls back to Guesno for ransom. He thought they're going to ransom the kid off, get him back, and he would have got his revenge on Guesno. But what happened was the thugs did ransom him off, took the money, and then kept the kid to sell him to make more money, and then threw this flock member, Carlos, to Guesno... Oh, I'm sorry, to the police, and they ended up arresting him. He still in jail. And while he's going to jail, he's... From jail, he's calling who? He's calling Yvrose, who is the director of this illegal orphanage. Mark:     The woman that is snooping around... Tim:        Yeah, the woman that's snooping around, and then disappears, and is acting all weird... He starts calling her. She's the point of contact. We don't know what those phone conversations were, but those phone conversations were very active in the wake of the kidnapping. All roads lead to this woman, and she's up to no good. Carlos is in jail. The thugs, you don't know who they are exactly, but they have Gardy eventually, but... We have to find out, does this woman... If she and the business of taking kids and selling them in the black market? Because that would make sense, if that's what she's doing. Her orphanage was illicit, she couldn't adopt kids... She didn't have a license to adopt kids. Mark:     And it's not like she was just getting them to take care of them Mother Teresa style. Tim:        Oh, no. Mark:     As we'll get to, that was no sanctuary. Tim:        Oh, no. That was a doghouse. That was a doghouse. So, she lived OK. She had her own little apartment on the premises, and she had another house outside of the orphanage, too, and she was doing just fine. It's the kids who were living in the doghouse. So, so, we goes down, we end up with the blessing and authorization of the Haitian national police... They signed up to work under them... And they send us into the orphanage with hidden cameras to just see what's going on here. We kind of just show up, she's very suspicious at first, but we said, "Look, word on the street is that this is where you can get kids". Mark:     And this is just...this is you and an interpreter, right? Tim:        Yeah. Mark:     Ok. Tim:        And you. You were there. Mark:     I went... You had been there before by now. Tim:        Yeah, that's right. We have been there before. Mark:     So, you went and scouted about... Tim:        Yeah, we went up and just said, "How do you... Word on the street is that you've got kids." So we came in exactly like a trafficker would come in. We didn't come in and say we're going to take these kids and sell them into sex slavery or slave labor, but a trafficker wouldn't do that. He'd just come in and say, "I hear this is... If you want kids, this is where you come get them." And she said, "Yes, that's exactly right."  And then we let her tell us, "Well how does this work?" And she was not shy about it. Adoption wasn't an option. She didn't even lay it out there. In fact, we forced the issue and said, "Well, why don't you do it legally?" She's like, "Aw, you don't want to do that. That's not... It's just real easy, just give me $10,000." And she ended up raising the price the next day to $15,000 dollars. "Just give me cash and pick your kid." These kids weren't documented. There is no evidence that they even existed, because that's how she would get them. There was no legal process by which she got them, she just gathered them. So, we went back to the police and said you won't believe this...she, she... You're right! She is suspect number one, because she is selling kids. The fact that you believe she had Gardy is very credible. This is her M.O. They sent us back in to do the deal, and we went in and picked these... They said, "Pick a kid. Buy him. Look at the evidence, and we'll shut them down and get the kids out there." Mark:     K, so, let's narratively go into this joint... You've got a couple of undercover Haitian police specialist detectives, one woman, and another man that was posing as our tour guide, and another guy that was posing as the van driver. These guys, you know, we talk about government corruption, and it's probably a little more rampant in Haiti, and business is good for traffickers in Haiti. For these guys to stand up and take on trafficking is really bold. Tim:        Yeah, absolutely. Mark:     So, they were there, there are a couple of abolitionists there, there was a former marine there, who was a girl, and this is when I met Tim. I was working at The Blaze as a journalist, and he invited me to come down to verify, say "Hey, I want to show your organization that we're legit. And I was working for The Blaze for Glenn Beck at the time, and he said, "Ok, we're going to send Mark". Boom. I get sent. I'm with Tim, and that's really how we... we'd met before that, but... Tim:        Yeah. Mark:     Our first... Tim:        So, that's... Mark:     That's why we're here. Tim:        So, we-we-we... Mark:     We all walk in. Tim:        We all walk in. Not all those people you named, some of them were just outside security, and, but... Mark:     Yeah. Tim:        So we go in and we make the deal, and we buy these kids. While we're going in, this time, unlike the first time, I picked up one of the kids and I was holding him and I'm walking around, and I'm looking for Gardy. Is Gardy in here? Is there a possibility? So I walked through every nook and cranny of this place, but, the best I can, they were walling me off to see everything... Mark:     We're taking pictures of every child's face. Tim:       Yeah, every child's face. Maybe one of them is Gardy. But, ultimately, we came back, and, and, um, it was a really... This movie is captured in the movie. Or, this scene is captured in the movie, where I go back and tell Guesno, and I'm like... Mark:     Wait, you skipped... Filled in a little bit, first. Tim:        No, I didn't skip. Mark:     You didn't skip? Tim:        No. Mark:     What did you tell... Tim:        I go back, this is before... This is before there's a rescue. Mark:     Oh, before we did anything. Tim:        Yeah. Mark:     Ok. Tim:        I go back to Guesno and I tell him, "We went there... Gardy was not there that we could see, but she sells kids." And Guesno instantly just, falls apart. He just starts crying. And he says, "She sold... She sold my son. She probably sold my son." And I said - again, this is in the movie - I tell him, "Yeah, but, but we can... This is how... This is our lead. We get her in the hot seat, we interrogate her, and make her tell us, 'What did you do with Gardy? Did you traffic Gardy, too?'" And you know, the key is getting her in the hot seat, because she's about to sell kids to us. So, Guesno's very encouraged, he's excited about this, and then he... And this tells you about Guesno, and he instantly turns and he says, "And you've gotta get those kids out. They're suffering. I know they're suffering," he said. Later on, he would tell me, he would say, you know, "If I never find Gardy, but Gardy's kidnapping is what brought you here and rescued these 28 kids who are for sale... That's a burden I'm willing to bear for the rest of my life." And, that tells you a lot about who this... Who this guy is, and like I said, he sees a bigger plan. He still believes we'll find Gardy, and we believe that. We're operating under the belief that we will find him. But in the meantime, all the good that comes from this... And so much good has come from that looking for this little boy, not the least of which is the 28 kids that we were able to pull out of a trafficking situation. Mark:     So, we go in, do the deal, pull the kids out. You can see the whole thing in The Abolitionists, so we'll skip those parts and really go for the parts that aren't there that much. You get Yvrose in the hot seat, which is represented, finally. The Haitian authorities get her in the hot seat, and we're sitting in one room, she's in the next room over... She thinks that we're all arrested, at this point, because we all went down. Yvrose is sitting there getting interrogated... an interesting twist is that her daughter was visiting, who had lived in Brooklyn, correct? Tim:        She lived in, yeah, the United States. Mark:     She lived in the U.S., she was visiting, and when we went in to buy the children, we said, "Hey, you've got to come back to our hotel to do the deal." She goes, "Ok." She tells her daughter what's going on, daughter fully knows mom's selling kids and these Americans have a ton of cash... Tim:        And we approached the daughter, too, to make sure, because, we were kind of like, "Hey, don't come, don't come. Do you know what's going on?" And then she says, "I know exactly what's going on." Mark:     Yeah. Tim:        She's like, and I said to her, "Is this dangerous?" She's like, "Are you kidding me? This is totally illegal. We could go to jail for this." Mark:     Yeah. Tim:       I was like, "Alright, well, you're helping... You want to come, if you want to come on, and you know this... I'm trying to help you, sister, but you're in, so..." Mark:     And we're in the hotel room, this is the crazy thing, right? We're talking to Yvrose, and you ask, "Have you done this before? How... How would we get these kids out of the country?" She goes, "Oh, I did this before, not long ago... About five years ago," which is when... Tim:        Which is when Gardy was taken. Mark:     ...when Gardy was taken. She said, "You're going to get on the boat... Who is this woman? Do you trust her?" She points at the woman who was kind of there as our... Tim:        She was an undercover police officer for Haiti, yeah. Mark:     She was undercover, that she was kind of, just, our helper. Our Haitian friend. Tim:        Yeah, we told Yvrose that this woman was the nanny that we hired to take care of the kids while we smuggle them out of the country. Mark:     And so, she goes, "Ok. Those kids are going to call her Mama." And she's try- Tim:        She knew exactly what she... She had done this before. Mark:     Yeah. So, and the sad thing is, so everyone hops into the van, we drive clear back to Port-au-Prince, up into this big, opulent hotel suite that we got for the occasion, to pull off the ruse, wired with cameras all over the place, and she calls the little kids in and goes, "Hey," um, she calls the kids and goes, "This is Mama.". Tim:        That's her name. Mark:     That's her name. Call her Mama...kids are like, "Mama, Mama..." Tim:        Good, good, good job! Yeah... Mark:     Yeah. And, um, that's how we were going to get them out of the country. She was orchestrating this whole deal soup to nuts... Full service. Tim:        Yeah, and she gave us several other tips and smuggling routes: how to get out, what to say, what to do. And she kept telling us, "Don't worry, I've done this before. But you can't get caught - we'll all go to jail - but here's what you gotta do." Mark:     And she's... So, you're slapping down. And this is something indelible in my head. I'm watching Tim slap down $20,000...thump, thump, thump... $100 at a time. As her eyes are getting bigger and bigger... Tim:        And she has no idea who we are. Mark:     No idea. Tim:        And she knows better. And I actually had a very...very educated person who came to me after seeing an early clip of this operation, and made this comment that just, like, blew my mind. This person said you know, um, "I don't see what the big... I don't really see a big deal. I mean, if I was down there, I might buy a kid just to get him out of hell too..." And I thought, "WHAT?! Are you... What are you talking about?! No, you wouldn't! Because then what are you going to do next? You're going to smuggle this kid into your country? You're going to have an illegal person... child... in your house? You're going to have to hide them their whole lives? They're totally illegal... Are you kidding me?" And, um, and...and, because he was almost trying to defend Yvrose. Like, "She's just trying to get them a better life!" BULLCRAP! She knows exactly... She knows that decent people do not buy children. Mark:     And getting them a better life... Take us, real quick, what happened the next day, when we saw footage from the inside of the orphanage. The stuff that we didn't see before, on the bust. Talk about their quality of life. Tim:        Oh wait, I want to finish what I was saying before you rudely cut me off, though. Mark:     Come on... I always do that. Arg! Tim:        You do that often. Um, [pause] this woman knew that the only people that would come to buy children... There's two million children in the sex... Forced into sex slavery. There is... That number is double or triple, over five million, close to six million or more, who, if you include the slave labor. This is a huge business. She knows what she's doing. People come to buy kids to put them into slavery. Sex slavery or slave labor, and they do not come to buy a kid so they can raise a kid and bring that kid into their family. That's not how it works. Decent people do it the right way, because they actually want to have a family that's legal and lawful and they raise this child in a good place, with laws and with order. The fact that she doesn't ask one question, only encourages us to buy, buy, buy, don't even think about adoption, buy, buy, buy... We could have been anybody. And she knew that. We could've been pedophiles, in the child pornography industry. We could have been owners of a plantation somewhere that needed kids to work. Usually it's a combination of both, frankly, if you buy someone you're going to use them for sexual exploitation and labor, and that's the bottom line. The evil runs deep here. And she knew it. There's no way that she didn't know it. Mark:     And... Where do you want to go? Tim:        So, so we end up, we end up busting them, thank goodness. They go to jail and the kids get liberated. The next day after the operation, we go back into the orphanage with the police and now we can really see everything, and this is what you see, is the kids had a steady diet of flour and water. That's all there was in the place. Mark:     With maggots. Tim:        With maggots... It was the most disgusting thing... The little children that we bought in the operation, the little siblings, the boy in the girl, Colé and Coline, they thought they were two and three years old. Turns out they were more like five and six years old, but they didn't know that until they got 'em into a place where they actually fed them food. It's amazing what food does. You know. It makes a big difference, in, in, in your...in your growth. In your general health. I mean, to think that kids could be identified as two years younger than they are simply because they don't eat...so, uh, so we were able to, uh, to get them out, and then during that operation, as you see in the movie, we go back, we get her in the hot seat and she's admitted that she stole the kids finally, to the police. Mark:     After like, two hours...she breaks down. Tim:        Yeah, after, after...she finally breaks and says yes. And again, we didn't need her confession... It helps the case, but we didn't need it, because it was all on video. It was very clear that she was selling the kids. She's lying, lying, lying for an hour or two, and then she finally admits it. And now, she's in such trouble, and that's when we come in with, "Ok, now where's Gardy?" And we know she knew who Gardy was, but she acted like she didn't know him. She was like, "I don't even know what you're talking about... I don't know that boy". And again, we know she's lying, because we know she knows that boy. Mark:     She went to church with that boy. Tim:        She went to church with him. She knew that boy. It was a big deal, she was snooping around during the investigation, but she's like, "I don't even know what you're talking about... I don't know that boy." At that point, she... We tried and tried and tried and tried, and she was done. She was already in such big trouble that she was not about to confess to one more crime. But we were trying to... The police were trying to leverage the daughter, saying, "We can make a deal with you... You want your daughter to get a light sentence, here? Do you want us to go easy on your daughter? Or do you wanna tell us where Gardy is?" And she just went cold. Just, wasn't about to do anything to harm herself any further, and so she shut her mouth and said "I'm done talking." Mark:     She sold her daughter down the river. Tim:        That's right. That's right. Mark:     Man... In... To... What's going on in the other side of this is you've got Guesno not knowing exactly what happened, except for... What's happening on the other side is Guesno is at home waiting and praying that [edit out background noise from Tim's mic here?]...[Tim clears throat] that Tim's going to come back with a confession about what happened to Gardy, and Yvros goes icy cold. It was one of the emotional lows of this story, is we go back to the hotel, Guesno comes to meet us, and Tim has to tell him... has to tell Guesno that we have nothing. We go back to the restaurant, Guesno's on his way, you get to break to him the news that she gave us nothing. Tim:        Um-hmm. Mark:     So, we're sitting at this dinner table, everybody's dejected. Tim:        I wouldn't say we're dejected, we just rescued 28 kids. Mark:     We did, but there was... Tim:        It's bittersweet. Mark:     It's bittersweet. Thank you. That's a better word. Now take us to the conversation. Tim:        So Guesno comes in and he's hopeful that we're going to say, "We have a lead, we know where he is." And he's sitting there... But, again, back to Guesno, first and foremost, he was concerned about those kids. "Are they safe? Are they... What's going on? Is she selling them?" "Yes, yes, yes." He can't believe it. Even then, he can't believe it, even though he's the one who led us to that place. He's like, "Really? She actually... she actually admitted that she was selling kids?" It's like, "Yes, she did." And then I had to tell him, when we got to Gardy, she denied knowledge that he even existed. And instantly, and you see this in the movie, instantly, he just... His complete person just shuts down. Just, you just see a little... One more piece of his soul dies, yet again. And he just sinks. I just try to speak words of encouragement to him, you know, I'm like "We're still closer, we're still going to go back to the orphanage, we're going to look around, maybe some of the older kids recognize him... We'll show pictures of him..." And he's just...he is dejected at that point. Mark:     And, um, Guesno leaves. And this is a behind-the-scenes memory that I've got on one of my little cameras. For those that listened to the podcast, there are people, by now, by episode wherever-this-is, you understand that it's a God-fearing organization with faith. Not necessarily a religious organization, but one where faith plays a role. I remember, probably a 75-second speech that you gave that night, because it was bittersweet, and we were all sitting around the table and it's... The operators... Man, we've got Navy Seals we've got former CIA guys, we've got filmmakers, and you say... You say at that point, the gist of your speech was "If you have an impure soul, I don't want you here." Tim:        Ha! That's right. Mark:     Do you remember that? Tim:        I do remember that. Mark:     You said, "We've got to be pure, and stand with some confidence before God if we're ever going to bring this child home." Do you remember that speech? Tim:        I do. Mark:     It was incredibly telling about your approach to abolition of this great evil and probably reinforcement of the mission of this...what was now Operation Underground Railroad, at that point. Tim:        Yeah. Mark:     Um, and just kind of a cool sidelight that happened on that trip. So, take us from there. Continue on the Gardy-finding journey. Tim:        So, things kind of... We find no leads. No one's talking, no one claims to recognize Gardy, but no one talks. That's what I've learned about this. No one in Haiti talks. We went back to the church and interviewed every single person that was there that Sunday that Gardy was taken, and no one would talk. Guesno said that, like, a year later, even his closest congregation members finally came to him and said, "We did see Gardy taken by a motorcycle driver." Mark:     And that would be Carlos, possibly. Tim:        Yeah, Carlos was part of that. He-he- brought... He led Gardy over to the motorcycle. Gardy knew Carlos, and so he trusted him, and then handed him to the trafficker. A woman saw it happen... It took a year for her to admit, because they don't talk. They're scared of getting involved, because when you get involved in things like this, you get killed. So no one talks. Mark: And leads is shut down, completely shut down. The irony is, like, so bright... The sad irony. Here's Guesno saying, "If I lose my child to save these children, it's worth it." Which, for me as a dad, probably for you as a dad, I would give my life before I'd give my child's life. And I'm sure Guesno's even the same way. So for somebody, out of fear, to not report...to not risk their life to report this little boy getting stolen... Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. And it's a super sad... Tim:        It's sad, because Guesno's willing to risk his life, not just for Gardy, but for those 28 kids, and all kids. Mark:     And risk his son's life. Tim:        Yes. Mark:     It's incredible. Tim:        There's actually some analogy here to New Testament doctrine. Mark:     Yeah, I think we're writing... I think this is like C.S. Lewis stuff, at this point... Tim:        Yeah, this is like Abraham, Isaac... Kind of... Mark:     Yeah. Tim:        Atonement of Christ, kind of... Mark:     It's amazing. What a test for this man. So, let's go on to the narrative, onto finding Gardy. Tim:        So, we get, we actually, through prayer and just seeking a miracle, we get one. Someone finally comes forward. More than one person, frankly, comes forward, and says we've seen Gardy. We've seen Gardy, he's in a slave labor camp, or slave labor area, and this is where we've seen him. We were able... There's a lot of things we can do, and we're trained operators, we know how to corroborate intel, even without finding Gardy in this area, if they told us enough things about the area, we can prove if they were there. We can prove that they saw something. They saw enough that we corroborated to know that this is a very trustworthy source of information. That's where we're at now. Mark:     And this is about six months later. That's the time that has passed. In the meantime, with the steam you built finding Gardy, because the 28 kids actually got some press. And with that press, came funding of more operations, and in that six month period, Operation Underground Railroad grows. You've busted dozens of more traffickers, saved dozens of more children in different countries, and increased awareness of the cause, just because you're looking for Gardy. Tim:        That's right. And...and-and this is ...back to Guesno. I'm willing to... "I'm willing to give up my son to rescue children." And he has rescued children, by doing what he did, by losing his son, and by encouraging the growth of Operation Underground Railroad. He has rescued many others. He is part of that. Mark:     Absolutely. So, intel... We head back to Haiti. Tim:        We go back to Haiti, and what happens is... we're in the middle of this right now, so it's all about infiltrating this certain region where... And what are we finding? More than 28 kids who are slave labor, and we're able to document them, where they are, what they're doing, how they're being treated. We're sending intel reports to our embassies on both sides of the border of Dominican Republic, which shares the island with Haiti. We're in the process of gathering a whole bunch of intelligence, and we're doing anything we need to do to legally infiltrate working with the Haitian national police. Mark:     And, a while back, we reported on a story, Operation Underground Railroad reported on a story about a mission to a small village in Haiti that for me was pretty freaky, I don't know about for you... Tell us... And this is when we went down, identified this place, you corroborated the information, we came up with a plan, we were going to go to this village that was seriously so remote that you could disappear and nobody would find us. Tim:        Absolutely. Mark:     Um. Tell us... Just give us a... Take us into some of that mission. Tim:        So, what we did was, we needed to find a reason to be there, legitimately, so we got some doctors, we actually partnered with a legitimate non-profit organization in Haiti that does medical clinics... They knew what we were doing, the Haitian police knew what we were doing... And we brought a clinic into this village. I don't believe Gardy is actually in this village, but this was a village that we could gather intel, because at this point, we're not just looking for Gardy. At this point, because of the intel we got, we're looking for kids who are being trafficked, because they're being trafficked all over the place, for sex, for labor, so we're just gathering intel. So what we did was set up a medical lab, real doctors, over 500 people show up and get treated. The doctors told us that they actually saved lives. These people... And some of them, they're not all bad, I mean, most of them are good family people, and families who have never seen a doctor, and so we're treating them, which in and of itself made the whole mission worth it, just to help these people out, medically, but the real reason for going was to get intel. Again, not just about Gardy, but all the kids, so we have all these kids start showing up and we start talking to them afterwards, as kind of their post-checkup interview, and we actually brought Guesno out... He didn't know that we had the intel, because I'm so tired of hurting this man, putting him on this roller-coaster, so we don't even want to tell him that we're looking for Gardy, that we have intel on Gardy unless we have to tell him. So his job is to do the post-interview stuff, because we're thinking, man, there's hundreds of kids coming through this clinic, if one of them is Gardy, he'll recognize him and we won't... In the meantime, we're talking to these kids and, "Who are your parents?" Like, "I don't have parents." "How were you brought here?" "I dunno, I was just always here." Well, yeah, because they were kidnapped just like Gardy was. "What do you do?" "Well, a truck picks us up, takes us over to the Dominican, and we cut sugar, or we pick avocados, and they bring us back." "Well, do they pay you?" I mean, these kids are 10 years old. Mark:    Yeah. Tim:        "Nope." "Uhhh... How do you eat?" "Well, we just get passed around from village to village, or from house to house, hut to hut, and hopefully they give us some food." Well, because the adults are on the take. They're the ones making the money, so they just round up ten kids, and they get paid whatever they get paid, whether it's in product or some kind of fee per head, and that's called slavery. Mark:     And, if I can paint a picture for just a sec, because I was there to photograph... We drove into the village at the crack of dawn. The sun was rising as we were getting to the overlook of this village, and when it finally rose, what we saw was South Carolina circa 1840. I mean, little shacks with naked children bathing in steel tubs outside, people hoeing in tiered gardens, digging up carrots and whatever... The occasional stray mule. But it was plantation-style. Tim:        Yeah, and the reason, even more to your point to this analogy of sl-... It's culturally accepted. These kids are called restaveks, and it's the same justifications that were used in the 19th century to tolerate slavery, are being used here. Oh, it's a better life for them. Yeah, we own 'em, yeah, but at least we're feeding 'em...you know, it's better than they could expect anywhere else... Mark:     And it's a class, right? Tim:        What do you mean? Mark:     There's two classes of kids that we saw. Tim:        Oh, absolutely. You walk into a village, you know which ones are the slave kids. Which ones are the restavek kids, and which ones are, you know...they're totally... You're dressed differently, they're sad, their countenances are different, and we have... We're getting intel all the time, right now, and I can't... There's other tactics we're using that I can't reveal right now because I think we're getting closer to Gardy and other rescues in this area... Mark:     Thousands of rescues in this area. Tim:        Thousands... And we need the Haitians on board, though, before, before we can, um, do anything. It's a very sensitive situation, because we're fighting a culture. Even though it's against the law in Haiti to enslave people, it's still a cultural situation that's very, very difficult. They've never had the resources to do anything about it anyway, so they never...they don't think about doing anything about it. But here we are, coming in and putting the ideas in their head, "How are we going to do this? How are we gonna...How are we..." Again, Gardy becomes the hook, right?... Gardy keeps us there, because we want to find him, but we can't help but help these other kids when we find them, too. It's going to take some time. Right now, all we can do is gather the intelligence, give it to our embassies, give it to our government partners, and slowly devise a plan. There is no question about it, this is... slavery is alive and well in Haiti, and it involves children...it involves you know, we see the kids, the girls are taken into Dominican or other places and forced into sex trafficking; the boys, some of them get pushed into sex trafficking, a lot of them, most of them, become slave labor victims. That's what we're up against, and we're in it. That's where we are right now. There's a, um...At one point during that medical clinic, we recognized that we needed to tell Guesno, because he needed really to be looking for Gardy, and it was a hard decision, and it's probably the most emotional scene... It's in one of the episodes. The Abolitionists crew actually caught it. We took him into our car, and said, "Guesno..." because he kept asking me, I thought you guys were a rescue organization, I didn't know you were a medical group... Mark:     But he was totally there helping kids get healthy. Tim:        He was only there to help. Mark:     Was not thinking about Gardy. Tim:        Mm-mmm. Wasn't even thinking about it. And he kept saying, he kept telling me, "Why are you guys doing this?" I'm like, "Ah, you know, we like to help any way we can." He's like, "Oh." Well, I finally get him in the car, and say "Guesno, I've got to come clean with you. We're here because we have intelligence." And I gave it to him... It's off the camera, because we can't reveal our sources, but, and I said, "We have helicopters on standby, over on the Dominican side... These cops are here, there's undercover cops here that are carrying guns... We are all here because we think Gardy's here and we're here to rescue him." And the spirit that filled that car...and-and-and-and-and-and-and instantly, Guesno, just... just a flood of tears. But they weren't, they were, there actually, it was, it was emotional, not bad, I mean, it was actually...he said, "I have never felt so much hope, since Gardy's been taken. I've never felt so much hope that I feel right now." And he told me that, before that had happened, he had a spiritual manifestation he didn't tell us about. He believed he saw this little boy that was Gardy's age... It wasn't Gardy, but seeing that boy... He said something whispered to him, "Gardy's here. Gardy's here." And so when he heard me say that, it was like full corroboration about why we were actually there, and it was a flood of emotion. When that episode comes out someday, people will see this scene. And then, as we drove out, you remember, you were there, you actually took a Pulitzer-Prize-winning photo... Mark:     One of the best photos of my career... Tim:        Of Guesno... A tear-filled Guesno, as he's turning around talking to the police officer, who's pledging life and limb to never rest until we'll go back to that place and pull Gardy out. Find him, and pull him out. Mark:     Ok, now, why were we leaving the village, and under what circumstances were we leaving the village? Tim:        We left the village because... After we had serviced, medically, most of the people, the traffickers, who also were getting medical attention, they decided that now is the time to take advantage of us. They got what they needed out of us, now, let's steal their car. Let's kill a couple of them. And this mob mentality started to evolve, and we were surrounded by this group with machetes. Mark:     3-400 people... Tim:        At least... a lot of them with machetes, shotguns, and they were not going to let this go. And the village Elders kind of had a council, as you recall, and they came back and they said, "Look, we think you're great. We think you're innocent, but we can't control this mob, so good luck." And we just prayed our way through that one. I mean, we just prayed, and prayed, and prayed until finally, five gunmen turned to three, turned to two... blocking the road, and then we just went for it, and luckily they... Luckily they didn't fire, because... And we just got out of there, and... We've since been back, with different faces, under a different situation. So, we're back, we're there, they just don't know it's us. Mark:     So, as we are leaving, Jean-Paul, who is the cop, who is just a wild, ferocious cop gets famous in Port-au-Prince for taking down big criminals and being so aggressive, but he ends up being this tender-hearted guy who puts his hand on Guesno's shoulder, and just... We could all understand him even though we don't speak Creole. Tim:        That's right. Mark:     And, you know, Guesno was a little bit dejected because he's just got driven out by gunpoint from the place where he believed his son was. He now sees the babysitters of his children, and he was a little dejected. We all were a little dejected, and that's when Jean-Paul does what you're saying, hand on shoulder... Guesno turns around, like, tears in his eyes, Jean-Paul's just yelling, "We will find your son! We will find your son!". And, uh...Incredible. Tim:        And Guesno says at that point, once again, he says, "I have never been so full of hope." Mark:     And, it was Haitian? Tim:        It was the best day of his life, he told me, "This is one of the best days of my life, because Gardy's here. He's alive. We're going to find him." Mark:     And he was being told by a Haitian that he would find his son... Tim:        Right, and he didn't hear that very often. Mark:     And once again, you've started a fire in a country where the people are now taking over. Do you want to pause? 55:27 Tim:        Yeah, I gotta go. 55:28 Mark:     Oh, crap, we're leaving? All right. 55:29 Tim:        I gotta go. 55:30 Mark:     Part 2, coming up, next time on Slave Stealer. [move this to end, or delete?]   0:02 Mark:       Alright. Um, Tim was just literally dragged out of the room by um, by our team, and I, uh, know that we are leaving you here with possibly the worst podcast ending of all time...as we're driving out of the village, and, um, emptyhanded, without Gardy. As it stands, there are searches going on, intel being gathered in the area that is unprecedented, and our guys are discovering things and getting access that has never been gotten before. And so, um, we're going to leave Gardy and this story right here at the cliffhanger moment, and I think it's sufficient to say that the search for Gardy has indirectly, and in some cases directly, yielded over, um, 500 children pulled out of slavery over the last two years. 200 traffickers around the world, put behind bars... Um, and that continues. And I can speak for Tim, that he will not rest... He's already given so much to that promise to find Gardy that... That it'll continue and grow exponentially. And so, for Tim, who's now on his way to downtown Boston for an important meeting, I'm Marc Mabry, this is the Slave Stealer Podcast.

This show's guest is Tim Brownson. Tim is a kick-ass life coach with a great sense of humor. In this episode Tim shares how he went from sales into coaching. And then, how his coaching business almost failed until he had a swift kick in the ass: He lost all his savings. Here's what Tim and I discuss in Episode 3: Money doesn't buy happiness. How sales led him into coaching and how he let his sales experience hold him back. What happens when you don't focus and take your business seriously. The challenge of working for yourself, when you have no one to hold you accountable. How losing his entire savings finally kicked him in the ass. The self-delusion that kept Tim thinking success was about to "hit" at any moment. The tipping point was within his grasp. Why you can't take your foot off the gas in a competitive industry. How easily the world will forget about you. Why Tim said, "People expect you to be competent. That doesn't get you raving fans." What makes people really rabid fans? Why you should stop worrying about always showing your best side. Why Tim said, "Nobody farts on a first date." Why Tim needs to fear waking up to find a Grizzly Bear looking for salmon in his fridge. Why Tim said, "We haven’t got that much mental bandwidth that we can be looking at different things at the same time." And how it stopped his business for over a year. When it's important to "burn the ships." When you should commit to your outcome. The importance of "invigoration." What happens when your expectations aren't in line with reality. And how it prevents your success. Enjoy the show. View original post on FailToLearn.com

Have you thought about writing a book to position you in the marketplace? Would you trust a book marketer that doesn’t have a book? Yeah, me neither. But today’s guest is Tim Grahl, an expert in author and book marketing. He is also the author of “Your First 1000 copies”. Listen to Tim in part 2 of our interview where he explains about he used his book to propel his business forward. Don’t forget the overall picture of this interview which is about niching. Share the LOVE and TWEET about this episode. Target Audience: Tim helps authors build their platform, connect with fans and sell more books. [spp-tweet ""I asked myself if i could find a common denominator in the things I enjoyed" ~Tim Grahl"] As an entrepreneur you kind of flounder around looking for something that works. Before the glory days he is currently living, Tim was a freelancer working in a cubicle where he was programming code. He helped people build things like Wordpress in the days when no one knew how to build Wordpress. But, he couldn’t ever get ahead moneywise. He decided to hire a coach: Josh Kauffman. Josh guided Tim in identifying what kind of work did he really want to do in order to create a focus and a system that would produce result over and over again. This also finally allowed Tim to get really good at something rather than mediocre at everything. During this process, Tim discovered he really liked working with authors. [spp-tweet ""I didn't just look at money, I looked at lifestyle too" ~Tim Grahl"] As a beginner, it is perfectly fine to do many different things in order to figure out what you’re really good at. Once identified however, you want to hone in on a more narrowed array of skills and become the expert. Tim asked himself what the common denominator was in the things he enjoyed and focused. He not only considered the money aspect but more importantly what it meant for his lifestyle too. Although authors (his niche) can’t pay the most he knew he enjoyed the work and the lifestyle it provided him. So why did Tim need to hire a coach? Tim knew he was making mistakes because he knew it wasn’t supposed to be so hard. There were so many details and he couldn’t see all the blindspots. His coach helped him to see what was causing him so much trouble. Nothing trumps getting one person who knows what they’re talking about to give you advice. Asking for this kind of help is a strength and the fastest way to get over obstacles. [spp-tweet ""If I have to pick between time and freedom, I always choose freedom" ~Tim Grahl"] Tim worked for Remit Seti who put out this pdf (along with Charlie Hoen) which turned into a book: The Recession Proof Graduate. It lays out a simple way of getting clients and experience in an industry you may not have any. It shows entrepreneurs how to build up a client base from nothing without putting in too much work while reflecting your expertise. Tim decided to focus on finding the big name authors and do the work for free. This helped him to collect valuable testimonials. He then Worked for Dan Pink and just asked that he intended to keep working with him. 6 years later- they still work together. Whether you continue to work with any client, it’s still experience and an opportunity gather testimonials either way. [spp-tweet ""I knew i was making mistakes because I knew it wasn’t supposed to be this hard" ~Tim Grahl"] Develop SYSTEMS & stop trading time for money... A System allows you to do certain tasks over and over which yield the same results. You can either create checklist or you get a computer to do it for you. This simplifies things and frees you from hiring people. Tim eventually created an online course to teach people these things. He now sells his consulting business over and over again in such a way that helps more people and frees up his time. [spp-tweet ""I reached out to a coach because I was failing and needed help"~Tim Grahl"] More to come on Tim Grahl! Stay tuned for part 2! In this episode we’ll cover: Why Tim hired a coach and why you should too How to stop trading time for money The power of systems Why Tim chooses freedom over anything else Why working for free builds your reputation [spp-tweet ""Nothing trumps getting one person who knows what they’re talking about to give you advice" ~Tim Grahl"] Resources and Links   Your First 1,000 Copies By Tim Grahl The Recession Proof Graduate.
