Millionaire Mindcast

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have a wonderful guest Mike Sarraille, who shares his military journey, how his life was saved by a comrade during a combat mission, leaderships, why self-preservation is vital for being a leader, the significance of training and managing talent, feedback loop and self-assessment, and the secrets on how to be a millionaire! Mike Sarraille is an entrepreneur, a keynote speaker, an expert in leadership development, talent acquisition, and talent management, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL officer and a former enlisted Recon Marine and Scout-Sniper, a former principal at Echelon Front, a management consulting firm alongside the co-authors of Extreme Ownership, Jocko Willink, and Leif Babin. He is the founder, managing partner, and CEO of EF Overwatch, a specialized executive search firm, and talent advisory that finds high-performing business leaders for senior, executive, or other critical leadership positions. Also, he co-authored the book, ‘The Talent War: How Special Operations and Great Organizations Win on Talent’ and a columnist for Men’s Journal and Men’s Fitness under ‘The Everyday Warrior’ column. When Mike retires from the military after 20 years of service, that's when he starts having self-reflection, conceptualizing things, and learning from his experiences. He realized that leadership, skills, and characteristics evolved during those dark times in the military field. Thus, he let himself grow and learn the things he must know and use this to make a new career in entrepreneurship.  Now, he has become one of the experts in this field. Prior to that, he experiences ups and downs. But even with having that tough-guy persona, he believes that in order to stay in the game, you should not be afraid to talk to people when you’re feeling off, and ultimately seek God’s help. One thing that he encourages young people to do! Some Questions I Ask: For those who don’t know who Mike is, and what EF Overwatch is, give us a little bit of a background, and history real quick? (00:52) Being able to humanize such a dark part of the military, and still be able to perform and function insanely, where do those that come from? (02:58) Going back to your own journey, what were some of those moments that you felt like you wanted to quit, and what got you pushing through? (05:33) You mentioned, leadership, skills, and characteristics evolved during some of those dark times, what does your reflective process look like? How should people who want to be great leaders deal with trauma or challenges, process some of these things, and use them as weapons instead of hiding them out and being ashamed of them? (08:10) How did you have this patience and persistence to keep pushing every day no matter what was in front of you?  (14:03) You talk about recharge, what do you do to refill the cup? (16:59) If you were to give yourself an award for quality or characteristic that you’re at least led to that you felt was your superpower that you had a little bit of an edge on your brothers and sisters, what would that be and why? (19:05) How do you unplug and come home and still live intentionally with your wife, your family, and your health beyond just the “job or the career that you’ve chosen for yourself”? (20:42) With the people around you that you give permission to kind of hold you accountable, how critical is that not only in the team and in the organizational environment but in the personal environment for people to really achieve optimum and peak performance and just get the most out of themselves in life? (23:23) It takes time to be an expert in a particular field, how do you communicate that to the young hustler? (33:27) What are some of the best organizations doing in terms of motivating, inspiring, empowering, and really equipping their people? How are they helping them sharpen their axes, and what does that look like in today’s landscape? (37:29) How does preparation tie into this civilian and entrepreneurial world? (44:51) Just give us a broad spectrum on what the Talent War Group has to offer for the individuals that want to engage with you guys? (47:33) In This Episode, You Will Learn: Feedback loop: Why you need to slow down when bad things happen (09:30) Mike’s definition of courage (12:04) The 4 must-characteristics on to be a high performer in the operation (24:36) The steps on how to get more money (31:35) Quotes: “It’s okay to talk to people when you’re feeling off.” “Impact into others in a life of constant achievement.” “The greatest currency in life is not money, it impacts other people.” “As a leader, you wait for the last.” “If you’re completely selfless, and you’re giving to others, there’s a point to where you can’t give anymore.” “It’s the small little things that indirect approach that ultimately leads you to make more money or whatever goal you want to reach.” “Good things take time.” “There is an infinite return on investing in people.” “If you don’t manage your talent, your talent will leave you.” “You can never eliminate risks but you can mitigate it through preparation.” “Fortune actually favors the prepared.” “The people that are victims in life are the ones that were ill-prepared.” “People don’t rise to the occasion at the end of the day, they fall to the rebel of training.” Connect with Mike Sarraile on: The Talent War Group The Talent War book by Mike Sarraile

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have a remarkable guest, Cody Sperber who shares knowledge about wrap-around mortgage, how to build marketing stamina, and not be distracted with so many marketing messages, tips on how to build a massive brand, and how to build wealth in real estate investing! Cody Sperber aka the “Clever Investor” is a serial killer entrepreneur, author, philanthropist, real estate investor and mentor, founder and CEO of Clever Investor, the real education software company that provides real estate investing education and software applications to investors, and co-founder of the 100 million Academy, an educational platform for entrepreneurs who want to sharpen their entrepreneurial skills. Clever Investor was named by INC. 5000 as the #648 fastest growing company (2015), and #685th fastest-growing company (2016). Also, received honors as the #15 Top Education Companies, #17 Top Phoenix Companies, #18 Top AZ Companies, by AZcentral.com as the Top Company to Work for In Arizona (2017), and BEST CEOs by Comparably (2017). Cody didn’t come from a rich family and his parents were hard worker individuals. When he was young, he wanted to be a 9th-grade history teacher or marine biologist. In high school, he always got in trouble and fights. Cody didn't know what he wanted to do, therefore, decided to follow in his father's footsteps and joined the U.S. Navy. Later, Cody turned into a real estate investor. But it was a challenging journey for him. The momentum fades away when having no deal within 9 months. Fortunately, he found the right mentor who teaches him a lot about real estate and fills in all the missing information.  Cody acquired knowledge to increase his skills and capability. He learned the language of real estate and the psychology of dealing with people. With wholesaling, Cody became a millionaire at 28, and multi-millionaire at 30 years old. Authenticity and enthusiasm has really helped him succeed in his real estate career. Therefore, he emphasized stop trying to be something you’re not and be authentic. Cody believes that authentic people attract results, good relationships, and build a good rapport. Furthermore, people will respect, listen, and connect to you more with your simplicity and authenticity. Cody became clever and nerd in marketing and branding, and how he structures deals. As he figured out how to master the money game, he started losing the excitement of earning more money and buying stuff. Currently, aside from spending more time and experience with his wife and children, and as a man with a good heart, Cody pursues his passion for animal conservation and working with kids. He found ways to realize his ambition to be with kids, influence, and impact them. This is through running and funding charities for underprivileged kids, tutoring them, giving school supplies, and helping them develop their ability to play sports! Some Questions I Ask:  Where did the Clever Investor brand all start?

(19:32) When do you think AI is really gonna make its way to the masses in terms of lead generation and marketing for discounted distress real estate deals? (23:57) What do you say in terms of opportunity, what should people seasoned or beginner be doing right now to position themselves to scope that water up and not be building the well after the waves already hit? (29:58) Where are the best places to find more information in terms of what you guys have to offer?  (39:51) What is your overall mentality around wealth-building and what are you really striving for in the big picture in what’s to come in the future for the Clever Investor?  (47:38)  In This Episode, You Will Learn: How to fast track in gaining internal strength in marketing (14:32) “Marketing is it comes in waves” – what does it mean (19:47) Probability and Propensity Marketing Model (20:56) Two social platforms that Cody leaning on with marketing (25:02) Understanding real estate current supply and demand (31:22) How Cody create balance as a successful entrepreneur (51:36) Creating a For Purpose Business and Profits (54:54) Quotes: “Proximity is power.” “Stop trying to be something you’re not, be authentic.” “Authentic people attract results, authentic people attract good relationships, authentic people build a good rapport.” Connect with Cody Sperber on: Clever Investor 100 million Academy Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter The Avengers Mastermind Avengers Live

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have a very humble guest Mike Ayala, who shares his entrepreneurial journey and so much wisdom on measuring the exponential growth in an organization, finding opportunities and leveraging it, having great rhythm and routine that serving you well, the importance of investing in talents, and how to excel in business without the skill sets! Mike Ayala is an amazing dad, a serial real estate investor, business coach, speaker, podcaster, founder of Investing for Freedom, and co-founder of Four Peaks Capital Partners, and Park Place Communities that currently has 35 manufactured home communities in 13 states. He was 24 years old when he founded his first construction company and has been involved with over 2,000 projects totaling over $1 billion. It scaled quickly to more than 100 employees and sold at a $12 million valuation, making it onto the Inc. 2009 “2500 Fastest Growing Companies in America” list. Mike was a slave in his job, working 110 hours a week. He realized that missing his kids growing, and being always away from home was not a life that he signed up for.  It took him 20 years to grasp that it’s better to be a slave by his own business not by someone else. Thus, he started his own construction company that later grew into a successful one. Not just that, he emerged himself into real estate investing, and later became the owner of dozens of properties. In spite of his victory, Mike stays his feet off the ground. He always sees himself as a mentor to clients, and his employees, not a boss. Now, Mike helps busy professionals and business owners find true freedom to live their best life! Some Questions I Ask: Where did your entrepreneurial journey start?
