Larry is also a dynamic speaker who has spoken for several churches, men’s groups, women’s groups, and couples with outstanding reviews.   This guy grew up without a “father-figure” which store up future problems with patience when he became a father. He thinks he’s the only one struggling with it, and work-life balance. Didn’t know how to handle his kids, spanks them so hard, not showing up his marriage very well, and got all his validation from work. But Larry realized, he’s doing exactly what he said he’s not going to do. He surrendered his ego and learned from his mistakes.  On the plus side, he considered himself as a project, a dad that needs help. He wanted to learn one thing whether that be better at marriage, better at his kids, more patience, better health, and business. Everything follows that later, he started speaking on group events.  Larry explains the importance of investing in yourself and in your health, having constant growth, and being open to learning, be humble and ego-free. According to him, it’s really the ego that gets on the way that we can have these amazing relationships. Surrender yourself to create an epic, rich, and fulfilling relationship.

In this episode of Millionaire Mindcast Podcast, a powerful guest, Christopher Lochhead who shares things that he executed in order to reach and live a rich life that you can pick and applies to yours. Christopher grew up in a family where a lack of money was always present. At 17-years-old, he decided to do something meaningful with his life. Inspired by what he called the ‘angel of his life’ his Grandfather, who truly believed him, supports, inspires and motivates him that he can do anything and be anything. He decided to be successful, decided to be smart, and really wanted to do legendary things. Chris put himself in those positions to be successful and let himself learned, grew, and took a massive risk. As a result, Chris and his brother Jack started their company with no money, no experience, no education, no relationships of any kind. There’s been a lot of losses along the way. His whole career was just about trying to build companies and categories, in some cases loss and some cases win. He had been in those places of humiliation many times, lost money, been fired for so many times, but learned from those losses and moved forward. On the other side, he gained the most important things, the joy, experiences, memories, relationships, and the network. In 10 years, he got a tremendous amount of accomplishment. At 28-years-old, he became a millionaire. He does great things and wins with over $400 billion exits. Now, end up with having a life that’s fun, and interesting. He’s in the fun part of life that he never really thought about which is helping other people getting their goals and learning at the same time with his podcast. Chris focused on having a good time and hopefully make a very big difference. He’s an entrepreneur trying to do something exponentially different as opposed to incrementally better. To Chris, it’s important to set goals, it doesn’t matter if you achieved them, it’s about who you become in the process. He trained himself to be a better person, a person that you can count on, somebody who produce results. He chose to be that guy because we have that option in everything. Also, work hard and believe in yourself. When you fail, get up and try again. Confidence comes from training yourself to produce legendary results. It doesn’t come from the people’s encouragement but proving to yourself that you can do it.

He is passionate about the consumer Internet, security, mobile technology and how to apply innovation to build better products and a better world. At an early age, Ross was exposed on entrepreneurship. He is a risk taker, who believes that the best way to startup is to get out from your own comfort zone. It’s just how managing the risks and being not afraid to fail and to continue the journey. However, Ross had failed startups but preferred to learn more from the failures in many cases. He knows that everything isn’t going to be what he expected.

The team must have a common set of goals and culture, passion, and believed that you can do it. It empowers to come up something that is legendary and beyond to what expected. Action and consistency lead to the rewards if it’s good or bad it depends on whatever actions you’re taking. But don’t forget to take extreme ownership and accountability in whatever actions or situations you’re in.

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we are so delightful to have Cayla Jordan, who speaks her entrepreneurial journey, how her business thrives, the lessons she learned along the way, how she builds relationships with other people, helping, inspiring, and motivating them, and living a rich life in her business. Cayla Jordan is an entrepreneur who is building her brand nationwide. She owns Caramel Corn business, and is the Founder of Creamy's, that creating the highest quality gourmet cheesecakes fresh from scratch every day.  Cayla had baked goods in retail stores, traveled the nation decorating cakes for a global company, and has own storefronts. She also owns Baking Show called Cayla Jordan TV to share all her knowledge in baking that she experimented with over the years. She created her first cookbook “#CHEESECAKEQUEEN”, a cookbook where she shared tons of different recipes on how to make cheesecake. This diligent woman started baking when she was 4-years-old and was taught by her mom. She’d loved staying at home and baking than playing with kids outside. At an early age, she was able to learn about supply and demand. She loves baking cakes during occasions and through lots of practice and self-education, she naturally grew her skills. Cayla started making and selling caramel corns in her high school days and later on hustling and grinding from baking cheesecakes and delivering it to different stores all by herself. Cayla’s core values were tested when she tried to collaborate with different manufacturers who wanted to control everything in her recipes which was not align with her values and her brand. Cayla remains true to her brand and didn’t sacrifice her core values to get into a big-box store or get her products out there because she wants to have control over what she put up. She resists everything from them and wanted to start from scratch. This was the moment when she found out what’s really her passion and that’s creating recipes, and creating cheesecakes.  It was a little challenged in her journey but it paid off because it gives birth to her brand. Although she did a lot of trial and error she puts everything in business and working so hard. She wants to be her business as the most important thing because she wants it to grow and she knows she will see the benefits later on. Every day is not a work for her because she did what she loved and there’s no amount of money can replace it.
