Obama and Rand Paul were in the news when I was headed to bed.The argument was over the Bill of Rights and the 2nd Amendment as they relate to gun control.Earlier in the day I had been to an event at a house nearby in Bel Air where Warren Buffett and Hillary Clinton were talking - I almost got to talk to Buffett, damn-it, haha!Both sides have good arguments, but I like Charlie Munger, the billionaire business partner of Warren Buffett, and his quote:“I never allow myself to have an opinion on anything that I don't know the other side's argument better than they do.”So I tried to argue both sides. Don't think I did it very well but I tried haha.What's your opinion - and can you argue both sides so that you have a well balanced, logical opinion?Learn more about your ad choices.

Everybody loves a rags-to-riches story. I brought my friend Nick Unsworth here up from San Diego. He was completely broke at 28 and was $50,000 in debt. But, Nick turned it around and at age 30 sold his first business. Sometimes when you watch the news, you see these stories where somebody broke becomes the next Bill Gates and that's all great. But it's also good to understand that you don't always have to hit a home run. You can move from first base to second to third. In fact, according to Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham, it's a much safer approach.   For more information on Nick Unsworth, click here: www.nickunsworth.com Click here to learn more about his business coaching website: www.lifeonfire.com Click here for more information on Nick's live event: www.tailopez.com/ignite Follow Nick on Twitter: @NickUnsworth and on Instagram: @NickUnsLearn more about your ad choices.

My mentor, Allan Nation, used to tell me, “Don’t try to teach a pig how to fly. You can’t do it and it bothers the pig.”When someone has already made up their mind and doesn’t want to listen, save your breath.Instead of wasting all that energy and glucose trying to convince everybody that doesn’t agree with you, what if you take that energy and double down on fixing a little area in your own life?Learn more about your ad choices.

Self made billionaires are no joke. Billionaire Mark Cuban ($3 billion net worth, Shark Tank, Dallas Mavericks owner) dropped by the house today for 4 hours to play some basketball, talk books, and share some future trends to invest in.I counted how many genius things he told me. It was 19 different points. He's a damn smart man - one of the most observant and aware people I've talked to in a long time.His reaction when I asked him how it felt to become a billionaire cracked me up, haha.One powerful point is how you only have to win once. Then everyone will forget all your past mistakes. So true.Listen in and you will see why Mark's a game changer. Shoot a text to me or Mark on Mark's free app Cyberdust.

Today I've got a special guest: Keith Ferrazzi, the author of Who's Got Your Back and Never Eat Alone.Everybody knows that it's not what you know, but who you know. How do you find successful people that can help you? Once you do, how do you convince them that you are worth mentoring?It's give and take. If you're not willing to open up, then they're not going to open up.Keith says, "Find a way to help. Find a way to care. The best way to get someone to like you is to make sure they know you care about them."Do you believe that human relationships trump almost everything else?Learn more about your ad choices.
