Episode 87: Personal Brands
There’s a pretty clear shift happening in today’s consumers. With each passing year, more and more folks are choosing to do business with PEOPLE they know, like and trust as opposed to faceless organizations. When you consider today’s premier brands (Facebook, Amazon, Tesla, etc.), it’s surprising how often you’ll find an individual leading the company who, even outside the business, is a celebrity in their own right. They’ve invested in a personal brand, and it’s paying off in a big way.
In this episode, we lay out how to build and leverage a personal brand. It’s a longterm play, but, mark our words, personal branding will prove to be a huge separator 5-10 years down the line!

Episode 86: Why Your Underprivilege Can Be a Privilege
So many people conform to their environment! They use how they grew up and where they are now as an excuse for their lack of success, but it should be the opposite. Most people, including us, have to dig through the hardships and fight to reach the top. And in doing so, they develop an even stronger level of commitment, hustle, and drive to get what they want.
In this week's episode, we cover the benefits of growing up underprivileged, why it's up to YOU to succeed, and why putting pity on people doesn't help them.
