Hustle & Flowchart: Mastering Business & Enjoying the Journey

We are back and in this episode, we got the chance to speak with Kamal Ravikant, someone we’ve wanted to chat with for a while, so we arranged our schedules to make this happen. This guy has lived many lifetimes already, and he’s experienced lost, distilled what he's learned from it and provides practical ways which helped him to improve his life and others in a very simple way. You may recall he put out a book called “Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It “. We dive into the reasons why he wrote the book, the backstory and you’ll hear how his story was not what we expected at all in regards to how he got to where he is today. Kamal got so much feedback from his book which went viral, he decided to go back and rework it, adding some step by step advice, so it’s very fresh new content. It’s an expanded version with a boatload of practical advice including an actual manual in the book on how to proceed. Each step is broken down and he told us that he has not only learned a lot but gets a ton of feedback from people who reach out to him (he actually includes his email address in the book)! His ideas are not only powerful but the simplicity of it all is a winner.  As you listen, you will hear us share some of our own struggles and Kamal’s input to those. You’ll also hear how even though he is deep into business, his talk is so intertwined and starts with making sure you have your stuff together internally. When you are done, be sure to check out some of our previous shows dealing with mindset and business with Nancy Marmolejo and Aaron Fletcher. “It was in that moment of darkness, where I had nothing left to want to go on, I made a decision that I was going to get out of it. And how I did it, I don’t know where it came from but I wrote a vow to myself in my journal. It was a vow to love myself.” - Kamal Ravikant Some Topics We Discussed Include: What happened when Kamal had a near-death experience recently and how he has rebounded How to figure out your physical well-being, relationship well-being, etc. so that your business will improve as well. How his first book when viral and all the new changes with this updated version A simple breathing practice you can use when dealing with anxiety What sets Kamal apart from so many other writers out there to really connect with his readers How to set yourself apart in your marketing and social media What Kamal learned from talking with a Navy seal sniper and how you can apply it to your own life How to create those deep mental patterns to lead you to a positive shift  And much, much more!

Today’s show was a fun one to record, as we actually met in person with Rich Schefren, who was one of the first online marketers that we learned a lot from early on in our career. When we were starting out we picked up his free ebook, which has gone out to millions of folks by now. It was an honor to meet up with Rich and prior to this, we’ve had a lot of calls with him, as we are helping him currently with all sorts of podcasting insights. Listen in to hear about Rich’s upcoming new show, The “Secrets of Being Rich”. Also, in this interview, you’ll notice how he’s a master researcher, and learn about his in-depth processes for speed reading and digesting content to see patterns and trends for the future. You’ll also hear more about his upcoming event, the Coalition to Save Internet Businesses (which we will also be speakers at) and why everyone should attend.  There are changes afoot and these big companies have monster control, so Rich lines out his expertise and future trends of how to make sure you’ll not get screwed by some of these trends that may blindside you.

We are back with another awesome show with Theo Lucier with a boatload of information! You may remember we had Theo on previously and his episode was super popular as we talked about sleep, having more energy and the best supplements to take. As we come into the seminar season when a lot of events are happening, we realize that those events can be really draining as there’s a change in diet, you are away from your normal routine and you’re on your feet all day. If you are attending these events, we talk about how you can counteract these things.  We also highlight how to prep yourself at home or at the office, and there’s a lot of supplement talk, habits, and practices - both free and paid stuff. You’ll have everything you need to not only succeed at home but also feel your best away from home as well. We also love getting feedback on this type of stuff, so let us know what you think about this subject and/or what types of subjects you’d like us to ask in the future and what types of topics you want us to cover. After you are done, you’ll definitely want to check out our previous show with Theo as well as our show with Joe Cohen for even more tools to add to your health and wellness library.  “Let’s just focus on your body first, because you don’t have to think about it, just do certain things and your body is provided the conditions it needs to begin repairing itself...and before you know it you can think more clearly and that’s when you have the energy and the willpower.” - Theo Lucier Some Topics We Discussed Include: The turning point over the last few years where ‘Hustle & Grind’ has changed to slowing it down and taking care of yourself first How to pick the right MCT oil to avoid the dreaded disaster pants The best group of supplements you will ever need, plus a shortcut to get almost everything you need in one capsule What the heck the Flexner Report is and why it’s affected the way we think about medicine today  The one thing that 80% of folks in North America are lacking and what to do about it Why you can’t just think yourself better and how to use a bottom-up approach to attach depression, anxiety, and other health-related issues Tons of tips for attending events, and how to ensure that you will be on top of your game, even when you want to imbibe at that after-hours event after hours, (including the best ways to avoid a hangover the next day) So many amazing recommendations on how to supplement for the best results, where to find them all and which ones to take in unison and when The difference between various types of salt and water, simple things that we should all pay attention to And much, much more!

We are back and on today’s show, we are chatting with Doc Williams, an awesome guy who approached us to be a guest on our show. We couldn’t say no as we realized he came with so much value and a model that was easy to follow, that we really wanted to share it.  Doc comes across as someone who has lived many lifetimes, going through a variety of businesses through the ages (even though he’s close to our age). He’s worked with ESPN, AppSumo, an Olympic medal team, he ran his own CrossFit gym, even a candy store! He’s done so many interesting things in his life, and he’s one of the very few people who have made the cut through reaching out to us directly with his model. He’s also worked with VaynerSports and is clearly someone who makes stuff happen. You’ll hear how Doc takes the concept of creating content, which can be super time consuming and leans into what your personality is best suited for, then repurposing that content in a way in which you are getting it in front of the right people. You’ll also learn which channels are working and how to set up your own content funnel to keep it as simple for you so you don’t get overwhelmed trying to be everywhere, all over the various social media channels. After you are done, check out our talks with Paul Clifford and David Sinick as we discuss content syndication, content upgrading and speeding up the process for promoting and creating content.  “If the opportunity is there, I just try to listen as much as possible...how could be of use.” - Doc Williams Some Topics We Discussed Include: Matt was the first person in his high school to do…..? Listen and find out! What things Doc would do differently if he had to start all over again How Doc turned a reality show opportunity into a new business idea What type of content you should be focused on providing in your business and why you don’t need to be everywhere, all the time across social media Doc’s personality assessment test, why everyone should take it and how you can get a copy for yourself How to run tests of your smaller pieces of content to know what works and get the right feedback from the right people first  What Doc learned from selling candy at a young age to his friends And much, much more!

On our last show with Chris Krimitsos we chatted about his podcasting event, Podfest. At a lot of events we’ve attended, there's a lot of chest pumping but Podfest was the first event where the consensus was more about supporting each other and collaboration. Ever since then, we’ve been obsessed with the Podfest community and started to ingrain ourselves into the podfesting world because we love that perspective so much.   In today’s show, we dive into how awesome Podfest is, why you should definitely attend, all the cool swag and raffle items they have there, the special event that we are hosting this year, and so many other details that really sets this event apart.  On the business idea side, just consider how many ideas are still roaming around in your brain, waiting to be acted on. What if you started that thing you always said you’d do, even if it was imperfect? We also chat about Chris’ book Start Ugly, how he got the idea, who the main characters are based on in real life, and why it’s important for everyone to read it because of these very reasons and more.  When you’ve listened, be sure to check our previous show with Chris as well as our show with September Dohrmann for more tips on how to get the most out of attending events as well as for building systems not only for marketing events, but your business in general. “You think because someone is more successful than you, they figured it out.  The problem is everybody reaches a limit and they forget to start ugly again.” - Chris Krimitsos Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to help us with our upcoming software How the Nintendo brand started (it’s not what you think!) The 7 step system to starting ugly which will get you started and continuing to move ahead What makes Podfest different from other events and why you should attend How Chris came up with his book idea and a quick summary of this call to arms to encourage you to take action on your ideas and creations so you can release yourself from the chains of perfectionism  Why is Joe sitting in an old lady rocking chair during the show?

We’re back and on today’s show, we are joined by Bedros Keuilian who runs the Empire Mastermind and the Empire Podcast show with another one of our former guests, Craig Ballantyne. Bedros is a cool guy who discovered his passion for helping people early on in life. We talk about his interesting past and how his father helped his family flee the Soviet Union when he was a child plus how growing up a poor foreigner, constantly on the move helped him to become resilient and an influencer, even at a young age. We also talk about the importance of mentors and the various ways in which Bedros’ personal mentor assisted him, which led him to eventually having one of the most successful gym models, landing on the Inc. 5,000 list three times in a row, and hitting Entrepreneur Magazine’s list of 500 best franchises out of 175,000 franchises out there. When you’re done, be sure to check out our show we recorded with Angelo Sisco and Mike Matuz, fitness entrepreneurs as well who have figured a way to be their own boss.   “Even my business partner, Craig Ballantyne - I paid him to mentor me, and he paid me to mentor him years later as my business took off as I got better at selling high ticket prices. The point of this is, without mentors you’re not getting anywhere.” - Bedros Keuilian Some Topics We Discussed Include: How Bedros and his family left the constraints of the Soviet Union when he was a child Growing up in the U.S., not knowing English and dumpster diving for food How Bedros went from being a fat kid in high school to getting ripped (even though he never did ask that girl to the prom) Why it’s important to constantly improve yourself, even if you lead a comfortable life (Rubik’s cube speedcubing, anyone?) Key lessons learned from watching The Sopranos What Bedros learned from his first mentor and how it shaped his life forever Changes made during the economic crash which led to a successful franchise offer Bedros’ early job working as a bouncer at a gay bar (and you’ll never believe who he met there!)
