Hey listeners, welcome to the podcast today and I am thoroughly excited to introduce today's guest.

Ep.496 ~ The Man That Changed How We Do Business Today ~ Richard Koch, author of 'The 80/20 Principle'
~ High-Performance Entrepreneurship ~
Thirteen years ago, I came across a book that I had no idea would change my life as much as it has. That book was called The 80/20 Principle. I read it, and immediately applied what it said to my life seeing results in a matter of a few days. I continued to apply the method as much as possible throughout the years using it in both my business and personal life. Little did I know 13 years later, I would be so fortunate enough to interview the author of the book. Richard Koch is our guest today and we are going to dive down the 80/20 rabbit hole with him on what this method is, and why it actually works in all areas of life. How you can use it as a superpower to generate significant amounts of money, and be happier, healthier, and maintain better relationships.
Richard himself is a very successful entrepreneur, investor, & consultant working on and investing in hotels, restaurants, the distilling industry and the internet gaming industry as well. Richard has used the 80/20 Principle to make a fortune from several private equity investments and “retiring’ by the age of 40!

~ High-Performance Entrepreneurship ~
Do you ever wonder how the top elite performers of the world operate on a day-to-day basis? How Special Ops, Navy SEALS, & special agents think and act? I do, that is one of the reasons I started this podcast almost six years ago. I wanted to get behind the minds of the most interesting people in the world, so I could live a better life myself, and I could share that knowledge with others.
We have a treat on today’s show. Our guest is one of the world’s elite performers. His name is Error Doebler and he has 20 years of combined experience as a Navy SEAL and a FBI Special Agent. He served as Assistant Platoon Commander at SEAL Team FOUR, and a Platoon Commander at Seal Team ONE. After his time with the Navy, Errol joined the FBI where he investigated international terrorist organizations, and also served as a member of the FBI’s New York SWAT Team. Errol was then attached to the US Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment while serving as a Special Agent for the FBI, he was later deployed to Afghanistan in 2010 with that Ranger Regiment. Errol participated in extensive combat operations and was presented with the FBI’s second highest award for valor, the Shield of Bravery, for his actions on the battlefield.
Errol left the FBI after 13 years of service to begin his leadership consulting firm, Leader 193, working with Fortune 100 companies, professional sports organizations, tech startups, and executives from around the world. He is the author of The Process, Art, & Science of Leadership. He has created a leadership process and funnel that we are going to talk about today, along we will discuss his background, his mindset, & his operation mode.
