Aging is part of life – that’s a fact. Now, what if you could extend your lifespan by another 10 years and still be living the best version of yourself? You’ve probably heard of stem cell therapy and maybe a few controversies around that, but not a lot of people truly understand the depths of it. Today’s guest, Greg Shindler, is going to give us some clarity around this breakthrough. Greg Shindler is the CEO of RMI International (Regenerative Medicine Institute), a company that’s forging the path to revolutionizing the longevity industry. It’s the idea that we can turn back our biological age and put a gap between that and our chronological age – an idea now coming to fruition. And so, you could be 80 years old and still feel like you’re 30. Let’s go in-depth! Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: [01:10] Greg’s career background [06:32] His transition from medical distributorship to stem cell regenerative therapy [10:38] Why an office in Costa Rica, not the U.S. [17:05] Is stem cell therapy the magic pill?

Sure. You’ve got to sleep well, eat right, exercise – and that is a big, big piece of the battle.” "Aging is defined as the functional decline of most living organisms over a period of time. If we can slow the functional decline, meaning our cognition, the way we move and think and be able to get around in life, then that's huge. That's a win.” "You try to address the detractors, you know, to the best that you can, but you don't let it be a distraction from you." "At the end of the day, humanity wins. And if we keep that in the windshield, that's what's important."

He didn’t know what his purpose was… until he stumbled upon real estate, built a community, and built a brand for himself and for others.

How do you become recession-proof? Two words – idea + network. It’s not just any other idea, but a great idea. And it’s not just any other network of people that end up doing covert contracts, but a network of people that you’ve built relationships with over time. Today’s guest, veteran podcaster Jordan Harbinger, is proof that this powerful combo works. He did have his share of unfortunate events – talk about literally getting kidnapped twice and being taken “hostage” by his business partners who wanted to ruin him because he simply wanted out. But he knew he had to crush it–not to prove something to the world, but just to prove to himself that he can recover. Eventually, he stepped into his own confidence and his own light to become the master networker that he has now become. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: [01:12] Getting kidnapped twice [05:46] From a law career to a coaching company [10:23] No less opportunity in recession for a good idea [12:16] Getting creative with your budget during recession [15:09] Having a strong, recession-proof product [20:14] The impetus for The Jordan Harbinger Show [33:59] The recipe for a successful podcast [41:46] Your network as the greatest insurance policy [45:32] ABC (Always Be Closing) vs. ABG (Always Be Generous) [46:53] Being wary of ABG covert contracts and creating your boundaries Notable quotes from the Episode: "There's no less opportunity in a recession for a good idea.” “Recessions don't mean the economy freezes. It just means that things take a 20% dip or so, and people have to be careful instead of reckless." "If your product is really strong, people always find money for stuff that's actually working.” "A lot of these people in podcasting, they view it as an easy way to make money or some sort of networking hack." "Don't commoditize the product, go the extra mile. There's outsized returns at the top."

What does it take for you to find clarity in what you really want to do with your life? You obviously don’t want to wait for anything bad to happen, but sometimes, it takes some major turning points for people to gain that clarity – and courage. In today’s conversation, Carlos Amaya shares his life journey, getting diagnosed with cancer and arteriovenous malformation (AVM), being told by his doctors that he had eight months to live, and ultimately, undergoing 12 brain surgeries. He started a career in the restaurant industry, then moved on as a consultant, doing radio for ten years, and now doing full-time real estate. For Carlos, he’s now at the point of his life where he focuses on the things that matter the most – his family, his health, making an impact on the community, and doing things that align with his values. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: [02:00] His career background [05:29] His introduction to real estate [07:53] Life isn’t balanced [10:36] Finding a niche in Spanish-speaking clients [14:07] Carlos’ radio experience while working at a law firm [18:25] His health journey [24:15] A change in perspective coming out of his illness [26:49] What it was like leaving his job [30:55] How the company culture changes [31:55] About the Hablemos de Real Estate podcast and mastermind group Notable quotes from the Episode: "When you try to plan, balance, and unplug yourself from the professional guy to the personal guy, you're exhausted and then you end up doing neither one of them.” “Life is not really balanced. You have to be the same person in business and at home. You're the same guy.” “When you start growing, and then you get different players in the organization, the culture changes.” "Regardless of the network, how much money you have, people go through different struggles and you always have something to give and something to receive. So it's a win-win scenario."
