Dr. Paul Savage returns to discuss the invisible threat of toxins on Hustle and Flowchart. Having spent three decades in the medical field, Dr. Savage shares his journey from a stressed ER doctor to a leading figure in health optimization. This episode focuses on how toxins affect our health, the importance of measuring them, and ways to combat these threats using innovative solutions like plasma exchange. Join us as we delve into the steps for a healthier lifestyle and the groundbreaking efforts led by Dr. Savage to address these issues.Dr. Paul Savage’s JourneyDr. Paul Savage started his career as an ER doctor in Detroit, working long, stressful hours and neglecting his health. By the end of his ten-year stint, his weight had increased drastically, and he was on multiple medications due to poor lifestyle choices exacerbated by stress. This tough lesson prompted him to pursue better health practices. He went back to school, learned about nutrition, exercise, and wellbeing, and underwent a drastic health transformation. As he adopted healthier habits, he realized the need to educate others on maintaining good health and founded BodyLogic MD, which expanded to 70 centers nationwide, focusing on nutrition, exercise, and hormone replacement.Understanding Toxins and Their ImpactToxins have become a pervasive threat, with more than 50,000 different substances in the environment and 200 billion tons of chemicals used annually in the United States. Dr. Savage explains how everyday items, from the food we eat to the air we breathe, are contaminated with dangerous chemicals. For instance, water is identified as the number one source of toxins. The alarming stats reveal that these substances lead to serious health issues, including cancer, heart disease, and early-onset Alzheimer's. Dr. Savage stresses that toxins often exist invisibly in our bodies, with symptoms manifesting as severe diseases.The Importance of Measuring ToxinsTo combat these invisible threats, Dr. Savage emphasizes the necessity of measuring toxins in our body. On average, people now carry 13 toxins above optimum levels compared to just three a decade ago. Testing can help identify specific toxins, guiding effective treatment plans. This helps prevent severe health outcomes by taking action based on individual toxin levels. Dr. Savage offers a comprehensive test at MD Lifespan to assess toxin presence in urine, pinpointing specific substances affecting health.Innovative Solutions: Plasma ExchangePlasma exchange offers a novel solution to removing multiple toxins from the body. Dr. Savage describes it as an "oil change" for humans, where plasma is replaced with a clean version, albumin, enabling the body to regenerate non-toxic plasma. This process, repeated several times, effectively reduces toxin levels. Research supports its efficacy in slowing or reversing the progression of diseases like Alzheimer's. These procedures offer transformative potential for managing or reversing damage by eliminating the buildup of harmful substances.Avoiding Toxins in Daily LifeDr. Savage outlines practical steps for minimizing toxin exposure. He recommends filtering water, cleaning the air at home, and choosing toxin-free foods. He also provides guides on cleaning up one’s living environment available on MD Lifespan's website. Awareness and proactive changes are vital to reducing toxin intake, coupled with measuring one's toxicity levels. Simple actions, such as using HEPA filters and reverse osmosis water filters, can drastically reduce exposure.The Role of Entrepreneurs in Raising AwarenessDr. Savage calls for entrepreneurs to help spread awareness about the toxin crisis and its health impacts. As key change-makers, they can leverage their platforms to educate and inform larger communities. Highlighting the need for research and advocacy, Dr. Savage invites support for ongoing studies and projects to further validate and improve treatments like plasma exchange. The entrepreneurial community's engagement is crucial for amplifying this urgent message and initiating change on a larger scale.Resources from Dr. Paul SavageGet yourself tested for toxins with our special link: mdlifespan.com/hustle and use code FLOWFind more about the work Dr. Savage does at MD LifespanSee what the Plasma Exchange looks like HEREConclusionDr. Paul Savage shed light on the looming crisis of toxins affecting health globally. By measuring toxin levels and adopting preventive measures, individuals can safeguard their health before the first symptom, which could be a severe disease, appears. Dr. Savage’s work at MD Lifespan, including cutting-edge solutions like plasma exchange, presents a compelling case for proactive health management. This episode underscores the urgent need for awareness and action, making it essential listening for anyone invested in maintaining long-term wellbeing and health.

Today, I had the pleasure of chatting with James Barry, an amazing guest who accomplished something many thought was impossible—taking the healthiest superfoods on the planet and making them delicious and easy to eat. James used to be a celebrity chef and has cooked for some of the biggest names like George Clooney and Tom Cruise. As we explored the world of food and health together, James shared how he found his way into the ancient method of eating and how it can benefit everyone, especially entrepreneurs. Let's dive into the rich conversation we had about health, business, and everything in between.SummaryJames Barry discovered the key to making superfoods taste great. Once a celebrity chef, he spent years cooking for the stars and now shares the secrets of nutritious ancestral eating with all of us. In this episode, we explore the world of organ meats through James' brand, Pluck. We talked about how eating the right foods can boost energy and decision-making and ultimately bring longevity to our lives and businesses.Embracing Change and Seeking GuidanceJames spent the early part of his culinary career feeling like he was "falling to the bottom of the ocean," but he soon realized there is strength and growth in accepting guidance. With a new sense of being taken care of and surrounded by mentors, James understood that it's okay to walk in the footsteps of those who came before. "There's plenty of people that have come before me. I can just see what they did, replicate it, and apply it to my business," he said. This openness to learning created a platform for him to launch Pluck successfully.The Role of Routine in Health and SuccessJames shared the importance of routine in balancing joy and productivity. By sticking to a daily routine that includes exercise, he taps into the joy which allows him to solve problems more effectively. "I wake up at the same time every day, work out at the same time, and go to sleep at the same time," he said. Routine doesn't only improve mental clarity, it helps in making tough entrepreneurial decisions.The Origins of James Barry's Culinary JourneyGrowing up with non-gourmet cooking, James found a spark when he first scrambled an egg. The path to culinary success was not straightforward. He tackled many challenges, including a career in acting. It wasn't until after 9/11 that he felt the shift towards his true passion—cooking. Inspired by the need for authenticity and purpose, James took the leap and never looked back, even when it meant a significant drop in income.The Importance of Real Food and Ancestral EatingJames emphasizes that eating real, unprocessed foods can change lives. He has seen trends come and go, but eating real food remains constant. "There's trends, but what I've always focused on is eating real food," he stressed. James highlights the negative effects of processed foods, reminding us that food is not just about calories, it's about nutrients.The Significance of Organ Meats and PluckOrgan meats take center stage as James explains their importance in our diet. He talks about how being a dad inspired him to look into nutrient-dense foods for his kids and himself. Organ meats are highly nutritious and a natural multivitamin. Despite cultural barriers and lack of familiarity, organ meats were the answer. To counteract these challenges, James created Pluck—a convenient blend of organ meats and spices for everyone to enjoy. With Pluck, you get the goodness of organs without the strong taste. It's designed to be sprinkled over meals, providing a hassle-free path to better nutrition.External Resources:Get 20% off your order of Pluck with our Special LinkFind the latest recipes and products at Eat PluckConnect with James Barry on LinkedInConclusionTalking with James Barry was eye-opening.

Welcome to the latest episode of Hustle and Flowchart! Today, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Sammy Taggett, also known as Shoebox Moses. Sammy is not just a brilliant DJ and musician but also a successful entrepreneur and podcasting mastermind. This episode was all about connection, finding gratitude, and thinking big!In this episode, we dug into Sammy's amazing life story, from his humble beginnings to becoming a well-known DJ and entrepreneur. We talked about building connections with people, the power of storytelling, and the ways to create amazing experiences for others.Meeting Sammy TaggettSammy Taggett, also known as Shoebox Moses, has a unique story. He explains how his path crossed with mine, and how similar interests and shared connections brought us together. Sammy's known for his infectious energy, and he’s always ready to light up the room. When we catch up, it’s like no time has passed at all.The Origin of Shoebox MosesSammy shared his touching origin story. As a newborn in the Philippines, he was found abandoned in a shoebox outside. With the help of kind police officers, he ended up in an orphanage and later got adopted by a family in the United States. This early experience shaped him into the grateful and motivated person he is today. He explained how this background always helps him remain thankful for what he has, stating, “My worst day is somebody else's dream, a thousand times better than their situation.”The Importance of Connection and GratitudeConnection is the key to Sammy’s success. He is all about sharing experiences and creating magical moments for people. Through music, podcasting, and entrepreneurship, he stays deeply connected to others. Even in tough times, he finds strength in his past and remembers to be grateful. As Sammy puts it, “Your mess is your message."Sammy didn't only focus on connections but also understood the profound power of gratitude. He revisits his beginnings whenever he feels down, reflecting, “If ever a day turns to total crap, I look back at where I could literally be and instantly snapped out of it.” Just knowing where he started fuels his positive outlook and patience every day.Thinking Big and Going Beyond LimitsSammy believes in shooting for the stars. He encourages thinking bigger than ever before and even shared examples of this approach from DJing to podcasting. By aiming for major achievements, he unlocked opportunities others wouldn’t dare to even imagine. He highlighted a book called "10x Is Better Than 2x," which emphasizes the benefits of thinking ten times bigger instead of just doubling your goals. During our chat, he compared DJ gigs at weddings to performing at major venues. Playing large stages with a full setup allows him to focus on his music without distractions like setting up gear. Sammy’s insight was, “There is no competition on the main stage.”DJing and Its ImpactBecoming a DJ wasn’t the smoothest ride for Sammy. He narrated how he fell into an unexpected opportunity and transformed it into a thriving part of his career. From humble beginnings managing a nightclub bathroom, he networked his way up to the DJ booth, proving how determination and creativity open doors.

In the most recent episode of Hustle and Flowchart, we welcomed Robert Glazer to talk about his new book, "Rethinking Two Weeks' Notice," and related themes surrounding business, leadership, and personal core values. Our conversation ranged from the logistics of employment transitions to the importance of understanding oneself to be a better leader. We also touched on hot topics like remote work, AI technology, and setting the right foundation for team communication. Let's dive into the key points covered in this insightful episode.Transitioning Away from the 2-Week Notice ConceptRobert explains that the traditional 2-week notice is outdated and not practical for employers or employees. The idea is rooted in respecting and responsibly communicating an employee's departure, but it often falls short in practice. Instead, Robert proposes an "Open Transition Program," where employees can be transparent about their intentions to leave early on, allowing both parties to make smoother transitions. This program encourages honest conversations, giving employers time to find replacements and providing employees an opportunity to leave without burning bridges.Robert addresses common objections, such as the fear that employees who announce their departure might become disengaged or untrustworthy. He argues that these concerns are mitigated by having real conversations early. If employees are transparent about their feelings and plans, it can actually foster a more trusting and supportive environment. This proactive approach can help companies avoid the sudden upheaval that often comes with the last-minute two-week notice.Key Points and Takeaways:The traditional 2-week notice is not effective in today’s employment landscape.Open Transition Programs encourage transparency and smoother transitions.Early, honest conversations can prevent problems and foster trust.Personal Core Values and Their Impact on LeadershipRobert spoke about his upcoming book focused on personal core values, which he describes as the ultimate decision-making tool. He emphasizes that leaders need to understand their own core values to align their actions and decisions with them, thus becoming more authentic and efficient leaders. This can significantly impact how they run their businesses, interact with their teams, and make decisions under pressure.Personal core values stem from deep-rooted experiences and feelings, often linked to one's childhood. Robert shared that understanding these values can provide clarity about past career choices and life decisions. It also helps in making future decisions that are more aligned with one's true self, leading to greater job satisfaction and effectiveness as a leader.Key Points and Takeaways:Personal core values guide decision-making and leadership style.Understanding one's values can lead to better career and life decisions.Leaders need to be authentic and aligned with their core values.The Importance of Open Communication in TeamsRobert and I discussed methods to foster open communication within teams. Open and honest dialogue can build a trusting environment. For instance, teams can incorporate exercises like sharing highs and lows or providing direct yet kind feedback. Such practices encourage vulnerability and the sharing of personal experiences, which can strengthen team cohesion and collaboration.One effective method Robert shared was initiating meetings with open-ended questions like "How's it going?" rather than direct questions about work. This can help uncover underlying issues affecting performance, whether they are personal or professional. Leaders should model this behavior to set the tone for the rest of the team.Key Points and Takeaways:Open communication builds trust within teams.Team exercises can encourage vulnerability and honesty.Leaders should model open communication to set the tone.Embracing Technology and AI in the WorkplaceRobert emphasized the importance of adopting technology and AI to stay relevant and efficient. He pointed out that while it's essential to understand and utilize tools like ChatGPT for productivity, it’s equally important to not over-rely on them. Maintaining a balance is crucial to avoid getting swept up in technological hype while still leveraging AI's benefits to improve work efficiency.He also touched on how AI can assist in various tasks, like editing and creating study guides. It’s important to experiment and find ways these tools can complement and enhance one’s work, but human oversight and critical thinking remain indispensable.Key Points and Takeaways:Understand and utilize AI tools, but maintain a balance.AI can improve productivity, but should not replace human oversight.Experiment with technology to find effective solutions.Preparation for Real-Life ChallengesRobert shared his views on preparing for real-life challenges, including how to instill resilience in younger generations. The modern approach often involves removing obstacles for children, but Robert advocates for teaching them to navigate challenges themselves. He believes struggles and difficulties are essential for growth and preparing kids to handle real-world situations.This principle applies to business as well. Leaders should not aim to shield their teams from all difficulties but rather equip them with the skills and mindset to overcome challenges. This prepares them to be more resilient and adaptive in the face of unforeseen problems.Key Points and Takeaways:Teach the next generation to navigate challenges rather than removing obstacles.Struggles and difficulties are essential for growth.Equip teams with skills to handle real-world situations.External Resources Mentioned:Robert Glazer's website: robertglazer.comSubstack: Friday ForwardGrab a copy of "Rethinking Two Weeks' Notice"In summary, this episode with Robert Glazer provided invaluable insights into modern employment practices, the importance of understanding personal core values, fostering open communication in teams, and wisely embracing AI and technology. By implementing these strategies, business leaders and employees alike can create more dynamic, resilient, and supportive work environments. Robert's wisdom and experience offer a roadmap to better leadership and personal fulfillment.

Building and scaling a business isn't just about hard work, it’s also about smart strategy and self-awareness. In this episode of Hustle and Flowchart, I chatted with the amazing Allison Maslan. She's a successful entrepreneur who has built multiple companies and now helps others do the same through her organization, Pinnacle Global Network. We went through a wide range of topics, from trapeze in the backyard to scaling strategies for businesses. This episode is packed with invaluable insights. Let’s break it down.The Power of a PassionAllison shared an interesting tidbit that sets the stage for this episode: she has a massive trapeze in her backyard. Inspired by her background as a gymnast and a flying trapeze enthusiast, Allison uses trapeze as both a hobby and a metaphor for facing fears and achieving breakthroughs. Just like flying through the air, entrepreneurs need to take risks and focus on their goals.Battling Business BurnoutAllison revealed that, even though she took on massive clients like Ben and Jerry’s and Supercuts at a young age, she ended up buried under an overwhelming workload. She warns that this is a common issue for many entrepreneurs who fail to delegate tasks. Instead of managing her team effectively, she felt the need to control every aspect, resulting in burnout.The Wake-Up Call: A Life-Changing MomentAllison faced a wake-up call in the form of a serious car accident, which made her reassess her life and business practices. She realized that continuing down the same path could lead to the same problems years later and decided it was time for a change.Scaling Strategies: Breaking Through Growth BarriersOne major focus of our conversation was scaling. Allison emphasized that many entrepreneurs remain stuck because they don’t know how to scale effectively. She advises examining your company holistically to identify and eliminate bottlenecks.Practical Advice:Divide your company into four key areas: operations, marketing, sales, and your specific revenue stream.Conduct a thorough analysis of where you are spending most of your time and delegate accordingly.Establish clear metrics and targets for every role within the organization to ensure everyone is aligned with the company's vision.A Holistic Approach to BusinessAllison's background in homeopathy has influenced her holistic approach to business. She believes in treating the whole business system rather than just focusing on individual symptoms. This means aligning vision, cash flow, team effort, and execution for overall health and growth.Key Framework:Strategic VisionCash Flow (Marketing and Sales)Team AlignmentLeadershipExecutionThe Future: Leveraging AI and Market TrendsAllison and I also discussed the future, particularly the role of AI and other technological advancements. AI will replace some jobs but also create new opportunities. She advises leveraging AI to improve business processes and innovate, rather than viewing it as a threat.Insightful Quote: “AI is going to replace a lot of companies. You need to figure out how you're going to differentiate yourself and how to utilize AI to fuel you and not disrupt you.”Connect with Allison MaslanPinnacle Global NetworkCheck out the "Scale It Method"Grab a copy of Allison's book "Scale or Fail"InstagramX/TwitterLinkedInConclusionThis episode with Allison Maslan was a revelation about the entire process of growing a business.

Happy New Year! I'm incredibly excited for you to hear this latest episode with Andy Tanner. Andy is known for his unique insights into investments and financial education. In this episode, we explored many valuable topics, from the origins of the 401k to the importance of financial education for families and the role of asset ownership in today’s technological world. Andy also shared his personal journey, including his and his wife’s survivorship over cancer, which has deeply influenced his approach to life and teaching.Introduction to Andy Tanner and His WorkAndy Tanner, a well-respected author and financial educator, recently updated his book "Form of Chaos." He is also known for his association with the Rich Dad, Poor Dad team, having spent 14 years traveling and learning with them. Andy’s insights are shaped by his extensive experience in financial markets and education.The History and Evolution of the 401kThe 401k began not as a planned retirement strategy but as a loophole for wealthy executives to defer income. Richard Stanger wrote the original 800-word section, spurred by lobbying from companies like Kodak and Xerox through Congressman Barbara Conable. Initially, the financial impact of 401ks seemed minimal, but today, they account for $11 trillion. Andy highlighted that Congressman Conable was unaware of the significance of the 401k when it was enacted. Consultant Ted Benna later capitalized on the 401k for employee bonuses, which led to employer matching and the shift from pensions to 401k plans.Critique of 401ks and Wall StreetAndy criticized 401ks as favoring Wall Street due to the compounding costs that benefit the financial industry more than the participants. He urged listeners to examine the real value of their 401k plans and warned of hidden drawbacks. Financial education and understanding are crucial to make informed decisions rather than relying blindly on such systems.Personal Background and Family LifeAndy shared his personal journey, including a significant experience when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago. Thankfully, they are doing well now, and this period kept Andy at home more, focusing on teaching from his home studio and spending time with his family. Both he and his wife are cancer survivors, influencing their decision to start a family later in life.Financial Education for KidsAndy believes in integrating financial education into family life. His children have benefited significantly from being homeschooled, especially during COVID. This homeschooling emphasized vital financial skills from a young age. Andy uses practical experiences and games like the "Cashflow" game to teach his kids about financial concepts.Investment PhilosophyAndy advocates for business owners to leverage their profits by investing in assets to expand ownership. Owning assets is crucial in a world increasingly dominated by technology and AI. Andy recommends benefiting from AI advancements by owning stocks in various sectors beyond just tech. He values operational cash flow over mere price speculation, aligning with Warren Buffett’s investment principles. True compounding requires reinvesting profits, similar to business and real estate ventures. Andy views stocks as ownership in a business, stressing the importance of sustainable growth.Real-World Exposure and Financial Activities with FamilyAndy involves his children in financial activities from a young age. He shared how real-world exposure, like bringing his kids to real estate dealings and letting them invest small amounts in family ventures, helps them understand ownership. Andy talked about the concept of "sponsorship equity," stressing the role of financial education and involvement in tangible activities like stock trading and buying tangible assets like silver.The Role of AI in InvestingJoe mentioned using AI tools like ChatGPT to distill information and facilitate learning. Andy expressed skepticism about current AI capabilities in trading, pointing out its limitations and inaccuracies. He believes AI is best suited for organizational tasks rather than financial predictions. Andy criticized the culture of overly relying on financial advice rather than self-education, noting that Wall Street benefits from people’s lack of know-how.Four Key Pillars of Financial EducationAndy outlined four key pillars of financial education essential for investing: fundamental analysis, technical analysis, cash flow, and risk management. Understanding these pillars is vital for managing risk. He recommended "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham for insights on investor temperament and fundamentals like earnings and growth.Risk Management in Business and InvestmentsAndy discussed that more control equates to less risk, reflecting on Robert Kiyosaki’s idea that risk is related to control. Having good business systems, like standard operating procedures, legal frameworks, and strong communication, helps reduce risk. Leadership and having a mission and a competent team are also crucial. As an investor, understanding earnings and growth serves as KPIs, which are critical for scaling operations.Concluding ThoughtsThis episode with Andy Tanner was packed with valuable insights on financial education, investment strategies, and the importance of ownership.

We are excited to bring you one of our "Best Of" episodes from 2024, where we delve deep into the fascinating world of neuroscience and mindset with our guest, John Assaraf. In this re-release, John shares his profound wisdom on how our brains function and how structuring our thoughts can lead to the successful achievement of our goals. We revisit the brain’s built-in GPS system, the importance of self-awareness, stress management, and the incredible concept of "innercising." This discussion was incredibly insightful, and we are confident you'll gain valuable takeaways to apply in your own life and business.Understanding the Brain’s GPS for GoalsJohn shared how our brain works like a GPS system when it comes to achieving goals. It needs to know what we want to achieve, why it’s important, how we’ll get there, and when we want to achieve it. He introduced the role of dopamine, which our brain releases when we anticipate achieving a goal, acting as a motivator to keep us going. This biological understanding provides clarity on setting clear and detailed goals to stimulate the brain's built-in mechanisms successfully.The Role of Stress and How to Manage ItJohn emphasized the impact of stress and how it can lead to anxiety if not properly managed. Our brain tends to anticipate failure, creating stress and anxiety. He shared the GOPA method—Goals, Obstacles, Plan, Action—to help prioritize tasks and take effective steps forward. John also noted that recognizing when stressors exceed our capacity is crucial. By addressing these stressors and demands, we can prevent them from hampering our progress.The Subconscious Mind and Its AutomationThe subconscious mind plays a significant role in automating our everyday tasks, allowing our conscious mind to save energy. John explained that our subconscious mind operates based on the patterns we’ve created, whether positive or negative. Repeated disempowering thought and behavior patterns can lead to the creation of disempowering habits. By becoming self-aware, we can consciously retrain and reprogram our subconscious mind to shift towards more positive and empowering thoughts and behaviors.Neuroplasticity and How to Rewire Your BrainJohn discussed neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form new neural connections throughout life. This means we can deliberately create new neural patterns beyond the age of 12-13. Most of our behaviors are automated based on subconscious programming, influenced by our beliefs, fears, self-image, and lack of knowledge or skills. John highlighted the importance of upgrading our beliefs, regulating our emotions, improving our self-image, and continuously acquiring new knowledge and skills for personal development.Commitment vs. Interest in Achieving GoalsOne of the key takeaways from our conversation was the difference between being interested in a goal and being committed to it. Commitment means doing whatever it takes to achieve the goal, such as upgrading your knowledge and skills and seeking help when needed. John stressed that the resources and information needed to achieve our goals already exist; it’s our level of commitment and having a strong enough reason why we must achieve the goal that makes the difference.Visualization and Innercise TechniquesVisualization played a significant role in John’s approach. He introduced the concept of "innercising," which involves daily practices to activate specific neurons through language patterns, emotional centers, and positive visualization. One technique John shared includes taking deep breaths and using affirmations to stimulate the brain’s motivational and behavioral centers. This practice helped him achieve success in various areas, including sports and personal transformation. According to John, it takes consistent innercise over 66 to 365 days to create a new habit and reinforce new neural patterns.Personal Transformation and Overcoming ObstaclesJohn shared his inspiring personal transformation journey, detailing how he overcame significant obstacles such as a massive business breakup, quitting alcohol and sugar, and losing weight. He attributed his success to setting a clear vision and goals, developing strong beliefs and strategies, and building supportive habits. The combination of inner (mental) and outer (action-based) game was instrumental in his transformation. He also highlighted the importance of stress management and innercises as crucial tools for achieving personal and professional goals.John has taught behavioral neuroscience and psychology to over 100,000 students over the past 10 years through various programs and platforms. His book "Innercise" has been very popular, achieving number one on Amazon in the mindset arena. He also developed an Innercise app, offering various exercises to improve different aspects of life.Useful Resources from John Assaraf:John Assaraf's book "Innercise"Check out the Innercise AppSee the latest from John AssarafIn summary, this episode offers a deep dive into how understanding and effectively using our brains can lead to achieving our goals.
