Create Your Own Opportunities
Today's episode is all about opportunity. All I see is opportunity, if something goes well, there is opportunity. If something goes wrong, there is an opportunity. Create the mindset that whenever something gets hard, all it means is that something good is happening.

The Three Keys To Success
Hey everyone, I received a lot of positive feedback about last weeks episode that was nearly 2 hours long, so I had my team dig up a speech I gave at a community college in Philadelphia in September of 2017. This was one of those days where I was channeling and delivering bomb after bomb. The best part about the speech was when I finished, nobody left.
