This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Joel Gandara. Born in Havana, Cuba, Joel emigrated to the United States as a child. He was poor and from a very early age had a hunger for success, leading him to become an entrepreneur. In fact, he started out selling trading cards and candy bars. He went on to create a multi-million-dollar business that allowed him to semi-retire before age 40. Nowadays, he has devoted his life to helping men transform into better individuals and is the author of the best-selling book, 31 Days to Become a Better Man.” Joel is a true rags to riches story fulfilling the American dream and I’ve excited for him to share his lessons learned along the way. www.JoelGandara.com To see the full show notes and Misfit 3 for this episode, go to www.MisfitEntrepreneur.com Show Sponsors: Fiverr: Misfits, if you are not putting the power of a service like Fiverr to work for you, now is the time.

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Tom Jackobs. Tom has an incredible entrepreneurial story and that’s fitting because he’s devoted his life to helping entrepreneurs and business create more opportunity and sales through story-telling. Tom quit his job to buy a personal training franchise and was broke in 6 months. It was in the moment of just about losing it all that he realized his biggest flaw was he didn’t know how to sell, so he devoted himself to becoming a great salesperson and brought the business back from the brink going on to create millions of dollars in sales in his future businesses and programs. Tom realized that the key to effective selling was that it was process, but telling the right story was the main component. He now operates Impact Pilot, a firm that helps entrepreneurs generate more income through better sales strategy and using stories to sell. I’ve always believed that selling through story is the best way and I’ve asked Tom to come on share how we can make the most of it in our businesses.

Many years ago, I introduced a new format that alongside our regular episodes called “Lessons for Hannah.” Hannah is my daughter and one of the main inspirations for the Misfit Entrepreneur. I wanted to have a place where she could go and learn from her daddy and his Misfit friends throughout her life….even after I am gone. If you haven’t listened to the first episode of "Lessons for Hannah," I urge you to as it gives some more background and tells the amazing story of how Hannah came to be in our lives. Lessons for Hannah are short, very useful, and sometimes comical lessons, that I want to share with you and give to Hannah to help in your lives. Because I want Hannah to have these for her life, I’m going to speak as though I am talking directly to her. These episodes are a lot of fun and if you think there is a lesson that we should include in these episodes, please don’t hesitate to send it over to us at support@misfitentrepreneur.com. We’d love to share it. To see the full show notes and Misfit 3 for this episode, go to www.MisfitEntrepreneur.com.
