Anyone can use it. The growth of Chat GPT has been incredibly fast. It's been faster than anything we've ever seen before. Talk about disruptive!

"If I didn't have that mental image of myself… 'You're strong, look what you overcame.' That mindset… I just understand what a journey takes. And sometimes it takes doing really hard things to get what you want." Resolving extreme trauma. It's a heavy topic, I know, but believe me when I say that with the right attitude, it's possible to overcome even the most challenging experiences. In business, trust is paramount. Whether it's with clients, partners, or colleagues, trust forms the foundation of strong relationships. Without it, everything else falls apart. One nugget of wisdom to share is the power of emulation. You know, approaching leaders and saying, "I want to be just like you. So I'm going to do everything that you do so I can glean the good stuff." It's all about learning from those who inspire us and adopting their positive qualities and habits. It's not just about lifting weights or running miles; when you strengthen yourself physically, you automatically strengthen yourself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It's a holistic approach to personal development. This is more than just a workout regimen; it's a mindset. It's about pushing yourself beyond your limits and realizing your full potential. Expert action steps: What you're doing in the right direction, keep doing it. Consistency trumps intensity. Focus on progress. Whatever it is, don't look at where you've come from and focus on the positives. Progress can be measured in a multitude of ways. Be honest. If you can't be honest with yourself you'll never achieve your goals. So, if you're ready to level up in life, reach out to Coach Debra Basch into her DMs on Instagram (@coach_debra_basch).

Non-organic marketing, like paid traffic, launcheds and blogging, aren't working like they used to. Both because of viewer trends and increased marketing prices. So for many, it doesn't make sense financially. But organic marketing IS working now. Methods like warm markets, active referrals, and podcasting/podcast guesting are working. We know these are tough times for many. People are scared and they don't trust as easily as they used to.

"We're not investing in technology. We're investing in human beings that are building a business." When considering investment opportunities, it's not just about the idea or the market size. It's all about the person behind the venture. And guess what? Experience and resilience are the name of the game. Imagine a landscape shaped by the aftermath of the dot-com crash, where the very future of entrepreneurship hung in the balance. It was during these hard times that our guest, John Ruffolo went on a journey, driven by a passion for funding innovation and nurturing the seeds of entrepreneurship. With the guidance of luminaries like Anthony Shoapotti and Rick Hansen, the man in motion, John became a founding partner of not one, but two major capital funds, charting a course toward a brighter future for Canadian innovation. He didn't just witness challenges, he saw opportunities amidst the chaos. He recognized that entrepreneurs are like farmers, planting seeds of innovation in the fertile soil of the market. But just like crops need water and sunlight to thrive, entrepreneurs need capital to fuel their growth. Uncover the unique challenges facing Canadian innovation and the quest to bridge the gap between talent, capital, and markets. Through insightful anecdotes and practical wisdom, we discover the essence of the entrepreneurial mindset: a genuine desire to solve real problems for real people. We learn about the importance of having a clear vision, a differentiated solution, and the resilience to weather the storm. But perhaps the most valuable lesson is understanding what truly drives success. It's not just about chasing wealth; it's about finding purpose in making a meaningful impact on the world. And for those brave souls venturing into the world of entrepreneurship, there are key criteria to consider: a deep understanding of the problem, a compelling solution, and the ability to execute with precision.

"Say no more than you say yes. Embrace discomfort. Surround yourself with people that challenge you." "When you give people the belief that they can achieve more, they achieve their goals, and that they are more than capable… It's so empowering. That's why we get the results that we do….We are a community of very successful people that believe in each other." Jase Stevens isn't just any old fitness guru. He's one of the Founders of Man The F Up, and a firmly committed member of the Amer fitness family, along with his awesome sister, Lindsay Martins, of lady the F up. But let's get down to the basics of why Jase does what he does. He's all about not being comfortable and complacent. He knows that's not where growth happens. He's always pushing himself and others to be relentless, to strive for more. He believes that self-awareness isn't always a walk in the park. Sometimes, it's downright painful. But hey, on the other side of that pain? Clarity and profound transformation. Jase understands that life's traumas and challenges can really push you to grow. And he knows the importance of having father figures and mentors along the way. That's probably why he's been coaching people in weight training since 2014, and why he joined Amer in 2018. Man The F Up isn't just about weight training and muscle. It's about getting back to the traditional man. Responsibility. Being a good person at heart. Man the F up gives men a community where they can develop themselves on a higher level. Because people are craving that kind of connection and growth. But here's the real kicker: Jase is all about building himself up so he can be a positive example for boys and men everywhere. Because he knows that people need someone who believes in them. And that's why he puts being of service first. Expert action steps: Say no more than you say yes. Embrace discomfort. Surround yourself with people that challenge you.
