What a great conversation with Mark Lack from ShortenTheGap.com, who is such a baller! We first connected with Mark in the Steal Our Winners program, which is awesome and highly recommended. He’s been talking about the model which we are very interested in, and we love the fact that he broke down the tactics of what we have been discussing in our business lately. We talk a lot about YouTube and if you are seeing a lot of people talking about getting yourself on YouTube, it’s still not too late. Facebook is being more restrictive than ever whereas on the Google/YouTube platforms, we feel they are giving us more opportunities to build out your brand and your flywheel.   We love the way that Mark thinks, as he’s a branding guy. He talks about how he was studying the legends at a young age, while he was becoming one of the world’s most well-known paintballers. He then discusses why you need to use marketing for not only your audience, but throwing your marketing budget and time at the guests and brands you want to connect with. And if you are just starting out and don’t have any episodes to show to sponsors, he’ll let you know what to do there as well. When you’re done listening, be sure to check out our other shows with Lisa Buyer and Justin Schenck for some additional chats on how to connect with the right folks while building your brand.  “Celebrities only care about timing and attention…if the timing is right, and you guarantee enough attention and eyeballs, any celebrity will say yes.” - Mark Lack   Some Topics We Discussed Include: Being a loser in school while earning $300K as a professional paintball star How to get more of what you want by helping people get what they want Getting a massive discount when posting videos to Facebook or Instagram How to pre-guarantee results to the celebrity and sponsor One of the fastest ways to build a really big show How to become more memorable and famous for free What to do if you do not have a backlog of episodes to showcase to sponsors The most important thing you want to do during the first 5 seconds of your video How to connect with event sponsors without even attending   Resources From Mark Lack: ShortenTheGap.com BusinessRockstars.com   References and Links Mentioned: Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

We’re changing a lot of things up over here at Hustle & Flowchart. We’re in the middle of a rebuilding phase, completely overhauling almost everything in our business. In this quick episode, Matt breaks down one of the big topics we’re going to start to put a ton of focus on. Today we’re talking about Web 3 and decentralization. It’s something that we can avoid anymore. We talked about it with Michael Taggart back in 2017 and we circled back around with Joel Comm in 2021. The first time, our brains weren’t ready for it. We didn’t know what to do with the information other than just throw some money at some cryptocurrencies. Now, it’s finally clicking and we can’t avoid talking about it. The pandemic has accelerated the Web 3 journey to mainstream and it’s only a matter of months before it becomes the normal way that people do things. This changes everything and those that are still ignoring it or writing it off will really regret that decision in the near future. “Web 3 will be where almost all future financial opportunities will lie” - Matt Wolfe Some Topics We Discussed Include: Where we’re taking this podcast in the future “You can plug your ears and maybe the future will go away” What is Web 3? How Web 3 will impact the way people make money How online education is changing as a result What you should study right now...

Dr. John Demartini is a man on a mission and on today’s show you’ll hear how he discovered his life’s passion at a young age. He had a vision of traveling the world while teaching and sharing whatever he’d learned so that it might be of value to help others to master their lives and do something extraordinary.

Joe is on board today with an important, snackable episode. He’s talking about real, heartfelt stuff, since, as entrepreneurs, digital marketers and those of us who work behind the screen deal with life a little differently than folks who work a traditional job. We have different social aspects that come our way and the last two years have had us in all our bubbles. Joe tells a story from his side of things, and how it’s affected him and what he's learned over the last two years.    He discusses why the last two years have been the most pivotal for both him and our business, in terms of clarity and finding out who we are.

It was a great event and there was a LOT going on. We chat about  how we set up our booth, some things we learned about the ins and outs of renting a booth, how we changed our tactics as the event went on and some of the amazing people we chatted with while we were there.   There were some things we did purposely to make sure our booth was not only one of the most inviting and interesting ones there, but attracted great conversations with attendees and sponsors alike. We also dive into several a-ha moments we got while attending the event and why we have changed our goal for the future.

We have been searching for someone to speak with about crypto and NFT’s for a while, and it’s nice to circle back around to this subject with Joel Comm. He’s one of the original internet marketers, and he’s a guy who sees trends and has a pretty good hit rate. This is one of those rabbit holes that we’ve gotten into outside of the podcast, and now is a great time to be aware of all the tech and utilities that are associated with a lot of these things. There are so many different ways to use the blockchain technology, and we’d love it if you would let us know if this is something you'd like us to talk about more in future episodes. Nothing in this episode is financial advice by the way, but it’s valuable to have conversations about it. Joel has been online for years, and he pivots fast and launches on a technology where he can have fun. You will get some great ideas on how Joel approaches tech. The way he explains his pivots is similar to the way we’ve done things as well, as we find little things we are interested in, then we explore it and love to share what we have learned with others. He also dives into the future of NFT’s, so many different ways to use blockchain technology and some of his favorite alt coins. Once you have listened, check out our chats with Mike Koenigs and Archit Batlaw for more insights into what the future holds for technology and business. “I don’t think there’s any true visionary aspect to it, it’s just that way I’m wired, I tend to pay attention to what’s happening and dabble.” - Joel Comm   Some Topics We Discussed Include: The secret sauce behind Joel’s successful life The best kept secret in the NFT world Red flags to look out for in the crypto world A new internet network and how you can be a part of it How to find alt coins to invest in So many other options with NFT’s other than artwork   Resources From Joel Comm: The Next Internet Millionaire Bad Crypto Podcast The Fun Formula Badco.in/discord BCHeroes.com                 References and Links Mentioned: CoinGecko.com DustMiners.com Wax Uniswap  Coinbase Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!
