It's an honor to interview such a wide array of people and I love it when past guests connect me with other amazingly successful entrepreneurs. I was recently introduced to today's guest, Tyler Gage and am blown away by his journey.

Taken aback by this, soon after set out to find a more sustainable way for people of the Amazon to provide for their families without sacrificing their ecosystem. Tune in to hear all about the company Tyler founded to do just that and the parallels he's discovered between the Amazon and running a business/being an entrepreneur.

Lori and I just wrapped up our trip to Europe and wow, it was one of our greatest experiences to date – not just enjoyment wise, but we learned so many things about ourselves and other people. One particular story and lesson we've taken home taught us about perspective on how people think, but don't take action. While having lunch in a beautiful square in Spain, we overheard the conversation of a group of women on vacation at a nearby table. They were talking about another person they knew – someone who presumably had a lot of money. They were appalled that someone could buy a $60,000 watch when they could use that money instead to feed people. Of course, my ears perked up because this was clearly a money mindset issue. But before I go further, please know that by sharing the following story my goal is not to brag; nor is it to judge these women. After all, we're all on different journeys, right? "Make a difference, don't make a judgment." Their judgments all come down to perspective. So yes, a $60,000 watch is a great deal of money to an everyday family with an average income. But if this person has $100 million or billion, it likely doesn't affect how they give. What if they annually give away $50 million? To this particular person, $60,000 may very well be a drop in the bucket compared to the impact they're making already. As these women continued discussing, suddenly a beautiful woman entered the square. She was a woman who I could tell was beautiful inside and out, but it was clear that she was mentally and physically challenged – and homeless. A bit later, we heard this angelic voice sing one of the most moving songs we'd ever heard. We looked around and around and found ourselves looking at this same woman. Our minds were blown and I felt compelled to get up, walk the 500 feet to where she was standing (with a cup in hand for money), and give her 50 Euros. She turned so quickly she dropped the cup filled with coins. I bent down to help her pick it all up and place the 50 Euros in her cup. When she realized what I had given her, her face lit up with a smile so big I couldn't contain my own, and it was in that moment, even though we didn't speak each other's languages, I could see the profound gratitude she felt. The woman continued to sing and weave her way through the square and eventually made her way near us and toward the table of women. She stopped at our table, rewarding us again with a bright smile, and proceeded onward. With her cup extended for money, these women brushed her (as well as other performers) off. This was a clear example of people preaching and talking about how someone else should give, but when given an opportunity to improve someone else's life, they didn't. I tell you this story to demonstrate that there are a lot of people out there judging, talking and preaching, but all of that adds up to nothing in the lives of people who actually need a handout. What does add up are the people who have a few extra dollars to give in the moment when someone shows up that could be given to. So, do you want to be one of the talkers or the do'ers? I think you already know what my answer is.

Cole Hatter is back on For the Love of Money and this time we've asked his wife and partner in crime, Sanja Hatter, to join him.

Today we're talking about the huge difference between being abundant and financially irresponsible. You see so many people want to be abundant but they're using abundance and increasing their financial thermostat as an excuse. "Abundance without responsibility is stupidity." Sounds harsh, but here's what I mean. If you're living outside of your means, perhaps buying high-price items (homes, cars etc.) when you don't have the secured money to do it, you're not actually living in abundance. On the contrary, you're likely attracting more lack, and you feel fraudulent and broke because you're not ready to spend like that. And let's be honest, when you're broke it's hard to feel abundant. I can talk about this firsthand because Lori and I were once living this way. We had the house and the cars, but the recession it and we felt the complete opposite of abundant. It's my hope that by sharing this that you'll remember this lesson and avoid going through something similar. So how do you know when to feel abundant and buy nice things, or when to hold back? It sounds too easy, but your soul knows. Your gut knows. Tune in and listen to what it feels like when you're going to make a purchase. To help keep it on your radar, I've come up with seven simple rules/steps that will help clue you if you're ready to start spending more. Set aside an emergency fund that covers one month of expenses. Work to stop buying anything with unsecured debt (credit cards) that you're not going to pay off right away. If you have unsecured debt, start paying it off as quickly as you can. This is also the point where I believe you should start working in an occasional splurge (I don't like the all or nothing approach). Focus on your savings by working up to 6 months' worth of expenses Once you've reached a savings of 1 years' worth of expenses – start funding your retirement. The 1-Year Rule. At this point, once you can buy and want a bigger-ticket item, wait ONE year, then buy it. Want to speed up the above process? Invent more income! Once you start doing the above, I know you will attract true abundance and in turn do great things for yourself – and others!

Picture it… You receive your monthly credit card statement, open it and find that the balance due is a quarter million dollars! You'd be blown away, right? Well, let me tell you... I sure was. At first, I felt instant feelings of anger, panic…and scarcity. Yes, I still have flashes of that money mindset belief, but this one knocked the wind out of me. I wasn't expecting that balance – honestly, it wasn't even on my radar. My range of emotions went from holy crap – $250K could buy me a nice home in my hometown of Green Bay, WI to how the hell did we spend that much money in 30 days? Were we spending irresponsibly? Will this be the new norm? Then, I slowed that train down and realized we had a lot of expenses last month. I hosted my mastermind group and we go ALL out. We spent two weeks away on Lori's book tour with our team. Add to that social media ads for the book, a charity donation, international travel and more…well, I'd say we got an awful lot for that quarter million. So I reversed that scarcity mindset and instead used it as a moment to practice abundance and celebrate it. It was up to me to take this opportunity and zero in on how fortunate we are to have the money to pay this bill and to see just how far we've come over the years. Not to mention how many AMEX points we're getting out of this bill, too! ;-) It was time to practice what I teach and turn this into a celebratory moment. While I had 30 days to pay my bill, I made the decision to pay it right then and there – because I could. I put on some happy music, poured myself a glass of scotch whiskey and paid it in full. Why put off paying it when it will only put out signals of lack and fear to the universe? While some may be critical of my transparency, I didn't share this story to be criticized. I shared it to demonstrate that we all still struggle with our money mindset beliefs. Will these beliefs ever go away? No, but you'll learn to handle them more quickly and with more ease because you have the tools to walk you through them. I hope this episode inspires YOU to celebrate each and every one of your wins – big and small.

The name Yahya in Arabic means "alive," and my friend and guest, Yahya Bakkar embodies his name to a T! Full honesty, when I first met him in our mastermind, I thought he was just this loud person putting on an act, but within 10 minutes, I realized it wasn't an act at all – that's just who he was and it was awesome! In fact, I discovered that it was these traits that I wished I possessed more of. And since that time, Yahya has given me permission to be louder, bigger, more self-expressed and perfectly imperfect. After hearing everything Yahya's gone through, however, it's hard to believe that he's such a positive and high energy person. From complicated parental relationships and struggles with religion to following his heart in terms of his career and marrying his high school sweetheart, Yahya discovered what it means to be fully and unapologetically self-expressed and now strives to help others do the same. Whether you want to become a better speaker or just become more self-expressed, our conversation is a must listen.

This week, while going through the decision-making process of buying a new car, I had a surprising moment of self-discovery... I still struggle with my money mindset. Let me know if you can relate. Many of you know, that I previously owned a Ferrari, and it was a dream come true to own one. However, there were a couple reasons why this car just wasn't working for me anymore. Lori didn't enjoy the Ferrari like I did. Being more of a race car, it's not as comfortable, loud and just different to drive. She did like it and tolerated riding in it because she knew how much I loved it. Full honesty, there were a lot of times where I just felt weird about driving it. You'd either have people yelling nasty comments or others who when stopped at a light snapped pictures like paparazzi. It was a lot of extra attention and it didn't always feel good. Here was my dilemma though, and where I still realized I struggled with money mindset. I had some resistance around letting my Ferrari go, because letting that go meant I was also getting rid of that attention because even though it sometimes annoyed me and I loved it, too. By parting with the Ferrari, I was letting go of part of my perceived significance and what it represented. And that's when it hit me. I wasn't being unapologetic about wealth! I was letting what others thing influence my feelings – and this is exactly why I do a podcast around money mindset! You teach what you need help with the most, am I right? "We are all significance-seeking machines." And this is OK! It doesn't matter what significance we seek as long as it fits in with your moral compass and how you want to show up in the world. So if you haven't mastered your money mindset yet, don't beat yourself up – I haven't either! No one has. "Growth is the goal – not perfection." I obviously still have small money mindset battles in my head, but I'm learning from every one of them – and I know you will too.

I love hearing success stories – especially from individuals who found theirs from the ground up. My guest today, Danny Morel, is one of these stories. Considered the "man of the house" at an early age after a cross-country move from New York to California, he shouldered a lot in order to protect and provide for his family. From driving at age 13 to starting his first business at age 18, he knew he was wired for more in life. Since that time, Danny has run successful businesses, only to lose everything when the market crashed, and once again fought his way back to become the owner of several businesses that earn more than $40 million in revenue. Crediting much of his success to his thought process, he unknowingly (and luckily for us) lays out a step-by-step plan to help others get what they want, too. You definitely don't want to miss this inspiring and motivational conversation. Oh and if you're in the L.A. area July 11-13, be sure to get to tickets to his Relentless event. There will be some incredible speakers and I'm so bummed I can't make it. Check out how you can get a free $199 general admission ticket in the Resources section! -- Question Highlights: What's your favorite quote? What's one of your superpowers? What's one thing you're afraid of? What's one of the most memorable speeches or messages you've ever given What's one of your favorite accomplishments? What did your upbringing look like? What is one of the greatest lessons/personality traits you took away from your situation from age 13-18? How did you think you'd be able to buy your mom a house by 21? What does it feel like to own businesses that earn $40 million in revenue? What's your advice for those people who aren't making it happen? How did you get such big names to speak at your Relentless event? Talk us through what "Morel means something" means when you say it to your kids. In This Episode We Talk about: How Danny's family struggled with their finances early on Danny's early driving experience at age 13 Danny's first business at age 18 How Danny learned to get comfortable with pressure Reverse engineering your plan to get what you want Danny's four-step plan to achieve your goals The difference between just action and "massive and inspired action" Hitting rock bottom when the market crashed and how he came back Why Danny believes in books, events and all learning Danny's desire to do things with excellence and in the biggest way possible Why real wealth and success come from a healthy mind and spirit And so much more… -- Danny's Thoughts… "I was always wired to want more in life and likely so because I didn't have it." "Pressure is privilege." "Biblical abundance doesn't mean you get a lot. It means more flows through you." "Wealth and success is the byproduct of a wealthy and successful heart and soul." -- Danny Morel is an author, broker, business owner and leader in the Real Estate industry who resides in Southern California. With over 20 years' experience in the real estate business as a coach, mentor and broker, he embarked on a career as a salesperson at 19. By 27 years old, Danny had earned 1.5 million in commissions during the course of one calendar year. Even more impressive was his ABSOLUTE commitment to creating a leveraged business. Danny successfully closed 150 transactions that year while only averaging 4.5 days a week of work, while others struggled to close 30 transactions while working 7 days a week. His passion for others led him to teach the EXACT principles he followed as a sales person to others through his brokerage that started at zero and within 5 years of opening achieved 800 million dollars in sales annually. In 2017, his brokerage closed nearly 1 billion dollars in sales volume in only its 6th full year in business. His companies have been featured on the Inc 500 and Inc5 000 lists as one of the fastest growing companies in America between 2015 and 2017. People that work with Danny experience transformations that are typically unheard of. 30, 50 even 400% increase in production within 12 months are common play. In 2017 he authored his first book, The Resilience Road Map to provide his step-by-step philosophy of success to entrepreneurs worldwide and launched M.PIRE University, an online coaching university for entrepreneurs now hosting hundreds of clients.

I've been noticing lately that there are just too many people who are invisible that need to be seen and share their message with the world. Have you noticed that? Do you ever feel invisible? Perhaps while being an onlooker you wonder how someone's business is killing it, but you question why or how they're doing it. Here's one of the main reasons… they STAND OUT! Full honesty, it's hard to stand out today. There's so much going on in social media and there are so many people doing similar things, so you need to find a unique way to get noticed. "Crack the code and find out how to stand out to get your message heard." It's all about grabbing someone's attention by flashing something "shiny." Lori and I sometimes call it the "bait and switch." For example, Lori will show an image of herself that shows her abs, but instead of talking about fitness she'll talk about self-development and what she's passionate about teaching. It's all about getting people to take noticed and then teaching or telling your message. If you don't want to be invisible, it's imperative that you stand out. And this doesn't just apply to social media, it applies to everyday life, too. Make sure what you're putting out there not only gets you noticed, but supports your message. "If you don't catch people's attention, your great efforts to create impact will not be seen." Here are a couple tips to help you get started: Get resourceful. This means ZERO excuses. It's not about what you have, it's about using what you've got. It's about everything that makes you, YOU – your unique style, manners, sense of humor etc. Stop being so humble! Nobody is SEEING you. Stop worrying what other people are going to think and share your message. The right people will see it – trust in this. It's time for you to stand out in order to stand up! What are you going to start doing RIGHT now to start standing out for your message today? I can't wait to hear and see just how you're going to grab all of our attention!
