In this episode, we’re doing our first “game breakdown.” From time-to-time, we’re going to bring on the teams behind some of the games that we’re most excited about in the blockchain-gaming space. We’ll be breaking down the team behind the game, the tokenomics of the game, how the gameplay works, how people can make money or earn NFTs by playing, and how you can get involved in the NFT and token sales so that you can potentially capitalize on the growth of these games as well. Today’s game breakdown is Psyker. Psyker is a fighting game, similar to Tekken, with a cyberpunk theme. Players can customize and upgrade their fighters with NFTs and battle other players head-to-head.

On today’s episode of Hustle & Flowchart we’re bringing in long-time podcasting friend, Adam Schaeuble, to share his hottest growth hacks (and muuuuuuch more). It’s been a little bit since we’ve chatted about podcast (and media) growth strategies and creative ways to monetize. So we brought a guy on that thinks like us but with a different approach. Best of both worlds. Adam is a prolific podcaster, coach, and community leader. He runs a successful podcast training course/community called Podcast Growth Club. It’s like PodHacker but different… We realized he’s doing a similar thing to us. Shouldn’t we just team up and make this a mega super podcasting course, resource center, fun community, and tons of live sessions? We don’t wanna do this alone… So that’s what we did! We just partnered with Adam to combine our podcasting brands and communities together. If you choose to join PodHacker (you should!) you’ll get a TON of new content, a super helpful community, access to live sessions, and tons more. This episode will be a melding of minds and you’ll see how the fun will continue in PodHacker and beyond. Let the fun begin! Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to manage (and excel) running THREE podcasts at once The systems needed to create content months ahead of schedule The superpower to have your audience build you into their routines The 80/20 of podcast growth hacks working NOW Are you “trying” or “executing” (subtle difference makes or breaks success) The Instagram Carousel post strategy that blows up engagement, shares, and grows fans Tapping into Instagram’s algorithms to grow your audience using Instagram Lives How to systematically produce 6 pieces of content within 72 hours of episodes going live How to create your podcast marketing plan How to leverage the social platforms to have them send you your best listeners How to make the most sharable content where everyone is happy to engage and help spread the word Building your client bridge from cold listener to a superfan customer The Relationship Funnel that Adam uses to grow his email list and community  How Adam creates funny ads so no one skips over them (he breaks it all down) PODHACKER gets a massive upgrade!!

Gino Wickman is a legend among entrepreneurs. He’s been a mentor and thought leader to those who want to scale their businesses in ways they didn’t think possible.

Do you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur? This book is going to help you figure that out. Gino believes that entrepreneurs are born with the traits to succeed, they are not learned.

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. Over his lifetime, he has devoured over 30,000 books and inspired others to find their true passion, sharing his knowledge with the world.    Listen in as you’ll hear stories of some of his students, and how one woman took her love of spending time with her pet and turned it into a multi-million dollar career.

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.

Once you are done, be sure to listen to our chats with Anthony Trucks and Angelo Sisco who share their stories of overcoming obstacles and how to put yourself in the right frame of mind.     “We’re living in a world where we are ultra connected, but at the same time we are not really totally connected empathically, where it actually matters and you feel it.” - Joe Fier   Some Topics We Discussed Include:   What should’ve been one of the happiest times was also one of the saddest Overview of the last two years and why they have been the hardest Things that have helped Joe ‘get his voice back’ The pivotal moment that changed everything Self-improvement strategies that seem simple, but really work Dealing with overwhelm and how to break out of that bubble   Our Resources   Want to learn how to growth hack a podcast and watch over our shoulders (and give you all the templates and DFY swipe files)?

You are going to love our chat today with Ty Cohen, a longtime entrepreneur, who is now taking over the world of online publishing. There’s a lot of money to be made with Amazon Publishing, and whether you are a writer or not, Ty teaches people how to get your books published in the world’s biggest online bookstore.

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?!

Matt is dropping another solo episode today, and he is going to be talking about some cool conference hacks that will help you with outreach and making connections. Live events are happening again and we just returned from the Traffic & Conversion Summit. He will be sharing some things that we learned over time about how to be the most effective at these conferences and how to get the most out of them.  He shares a few hacks about how to connect with people and build our influence around the booth.

It was a true pleasure and honor to have Dr. Robert Cialdini on the show today, author of one of the most well-known books that many of our guests have referenced. When we got into marketing and entrepreneurship, one of the first books we read was his Influence, which explained the principles of how to execute what we put out into the world. Now with this updated, expanded version, it has been blowing our minds in terms of how practical it is, especially with a brand new principle added. Dr. Cialdini showed us how to get the ethical ‘yes’ and use these persuasion tactics in a very ethical way.  He also discusses the ethical use of scarcity, with limitations on the number of the product, as well as countdown timers. He also talks about how he did not write his famous book for marketers, he wrote it as a book to learn how to avoid being influenced by others. Some other topics we chat about include the Unity Principle and understanding how you look at things differently when you identify with others in the same group. We also talked about the trust factor, and when you take the power away from the buyer by sharing the bad stuff first to create trust and a bond. We have shared our struggles with our guests and on our Therapy Sessions, and we have found this to be very powerful. Lastly, we had an opportunity to ask some questions from our audience, so listen in if yours was included. After you’ve delved into this episode be sure to check out our show that we mentioned about branding as well as our chat with Neil Patel who also knows a thing or two about growing your brand in an ethical way. “People who are successful have recognized how these principles work at some level. What they often don’t recognize is how to optimize them, and the steps to take that not only activate the principle but maximize its impact in a situation.” - Dr. Robert Cialdini Some Topics We Discussed Include: The universal things taught to businesses in order to be successful Why Dr. Cialdini’s book was not meant to be the bible for internet marketers If you have this one particular kind of authority, no one can beat you as a communicator An interesting study about showing your expertise The magic of sharing your weaknesses How to use this one word to get someone to trust you from the very first meeting How to implement scarcity in situations where there really is none What to tell people if you are early in the game Resources From Dr. Robert Cialdini: Influence by Dr. Robert Cialdini InfluenceAtWork.com References and Links Mentioned: Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

Mandy McEwen from ModGirlMarketing.com, brought the goods today as this episode has a boatload of tactics on how to connect and showcase your brand on LinkedIn. When Mandy told us that only 1% of users are actively posting on that platform, it really opened up our eyes to the possibilities. While LinkedIn may not be the answer for everyone, chances are your audience is on there. To be successful on LinkedIn, you really want to do what everyone else is not doing, i.e. acting like a human being without constantly pitching.  Mandy talks about some cool tips to dial in your profile to make you stand out as an influencer leader and how there are different features on the mobile app which you can optimize. She also discusses how her own clients have grown without even posting, but just by engaging. You can create that closed-loop system with comments and posts, plus she got tactical in regards to what the LinkedIn algorithm really loves. There are also some tips on how to post documents, and use LinkedIn Navigator to fine-tune your feed. If you want to get additional reach, connect with the people you want and appear as a thought leader, check out all the ideas she shares.

BJ Fogg, PhD, author of Tiny Habits and TinyHabits.com is on the show today! We have been immersed lately in understanding changes and our own habits, which have led to some self-sabotage at times. BJ talks about the concept of breaking the chain and how it can be detrimental to your progress. If your habit is too big, it can be hard to build up the momentum to continue. Plus, celebrating micro wins can be a huge motivator and they can come with every action that you do. BJ talked about his mission in spreading that ripple effect that will pass on to others, similar to how we love having fun while recording. He also gave us some real-life examples of creating tiny habits that stuck, such as how he was able to shed weight easily and how he starts his day in the right way to set his mind up for success. Still want more? Go check out our previous conversations with Anthony Trucks and Erin Pheil for more tricks to get you unstuck with some simple questions and quick tactics. “The best system whether it’s weight loss, sleeping better, or being more productive, is matching yourself with behaviors that will take you to that outcome, and these behaviors should be ones that you already want to do.” - BJ Fogg, PhD Some Topics We Discussed Include: How one way of raising kids helps them to foster a sense of accomplishment and be goal orientated How emotions create the habits Breaking down the Fogg Behavior Model The Maui Habit and celebrating life BJ’s easy method for weight loss Stopping the derailment of habits when your environment changes The simple act of celebrating even the smallest of actions Breaking the habit myths (hint: repetition does not create a habit) Resources From BJ Fogg: TinyHabits.com - Grab the book and take the free 5-day program BJFogg.com References and Links Mentioned: Humor, Seriously by Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

This episode is going to be a great extension of what we have been chatting about in the last few weeks. Also, since we’ve been talking a lot about branding, we are back to branding these episodes as a Therapy Session once again. There’s been some great opportunities that we have been discussing for a while, specifically in the creator economy. We now see our company as a media company rather than just a podcast. We also know there are those listeners who are not necessarily trying to create a media brand, so we wanted to speak to that audience. If you know that the creator economy is getting bigger, there’s never been a better time to figure out how to sell the shovels to that industry without having to be an influencer.  We talk about the opportunities that we see in the creator economy and some cool stats that compare it to the gig economy. We also drop some insight into how you, as an entrepreneur can use this opportunity. Once you become aware of where the money and attention is flowing, you can position yourself and ride that wave with the creators. It’s a smart approach and we’ll talk about some ways where it’s not you building the media company, but you can be the specialist to provide your services to those on the rise, even positioning yourself for rev deals and partnership. Once you listened, be sure to check out our chats with Gary Henderson and Travis Chappell for tips on how to make connections and network with influencers on a level playing field. “Position yourself properly and strategically - anyone can do that now with the creator/influencer economy.” - Joe Fier “The fact that each one of these things has so many subtasks, is a huge opportunity for digital marketers who want to go and specialize in one of those. Just look at YouTube, and look at one of the tasks you’ve got to do for YouTube. There’s a business there that you can go and replicate for people over and over again.” - Matt Wolfe Some Topics We Discussed Include: Examples of opportunities that never existed before, which you can specialize in and build a business around Some interesting stats on where the creator economy is headed A look behind the scenes of how we are building our media company Generalists vs. specialists in the agency world, and how the pandemic has switched things up Ideas on how to leverage the creator economy  Steal one of our business ideas and run with it!

Brian also chatted about his perspective in regards to mindset vs. tactics, and our survey that we put out last year, which we now know is not that cut and dry, and actually has a few layers to those results.  He’s got such great insights into triggers, and how to embrace the pain to avoid suffering, and gave us some real-life examples. The beauty of this conversation is showing how we can be blind to some things until they show up. We did talk a little about imposter syndrome and how we get it sometimes around tangents on the show if we don’t think we can add to the conversation. Brian was able to enlighten us since we now know to just say what we are thinking and awaken the sleeping giant in ourselves, which is very refreshing. There were so many a-ha moments in this conversation, that we will definitely be having Brian back for round two. In the meantime, you may enjoy our chats with Gabby Bernstein and JaMarr Johnson where we chat about how to get into a flow and get yourself on the best track.    “Typically what’s preventing us from being exactly who we want to be, reaching our potential, and having the impact on the world we desire... guess what - it’s us.” - Brian Bogert Some Topics We Discussed Include: How the recent events over the last year have created a boom for podcasting The magic of valuable sound bites that convert to attention and downloads Redefining the patterns in your life that have been holding you back When we surveyed our audience on Tactics vs. Mindset and how they are not mutually exclusive Recognizing who we are as humans and defining mental toughness The importance of knowing someone’s prime narrative to communicate with them in the best way possible The stuff that no one is talking about in regards to changing the patterns in our own life Check out Matt’s eloquent thought process on reacting to the metaphysical nature of the conversation A new framework on how to view imposter syndrome Recognizing pain and suffering to go forth to fulfilling our destiny Resources From Brian Bogert: BrianBogert.com WhoBeforeWhat.com  602-704-5189 - text Brian and tell him how much you loved this show!

This is a show for those of you thinking about podcasting and YouTube and for those who are not, you still should listen in. We are going to be talking about content creation on the platforms everyone is going to these days. We chat about recent stats, predictions and where things are headed. There’s a lot of cool things that we have been noticing, that we think will help everyone.  We’ve been pretty tapped in with what’s been happening in the podcasting space in the past few years, and our gut reactions have been pretty accurate. You’ll hear our thoughts about ClubHouse, Spotify, Fireside and, yes, even OnlyFans. Plus we deep dive into a poll by Edison Research that shows some interesting data in regards to where podcast listeners are hanging out for both searching and listening.

Did you know that our guest today is the reason behind Russell Brunson’s success? Today, we have Armand Morin on the show, and it was so cool to go down a page in history, as he talked about the early days of internet marketing way back in 1996. He tells the story of how he made over one million dollars selling bookmarks in the days before payment processors. Also, his email strategy and MAE framework were interesting to us, as well as how he doesn’t believe in funnels. He has flipped the idea of the funnel into more of a pipeline and gave us a dissertation on how to do email with this approach. We also chat about his email sequence based on webinars, which was another massive topic. This show was much more tactical than we thought, as Armand covered email strategies, webinar strategies, and even how to become a country music star. He’s also a national champion with Tai Kwon Do, and follows that whole “Success Leaves Traces” philosophy, which you can learn about in his book of the same name. After you’ve listened, you might enjoy our episodes with Dale Beaumont and David Jenyns for more tips on creating systems to save time and work smarter.  Lastly, if you are heading to Traffic & Conversions Summit, be sure to stop by our booth in the expo area and come say hello! There will be challenges, fun, and prizes! If you want to come network and hang out with us, we are going to be throwing a huge party at Mission Brewery in San Diego on Tuesday evening. There will be sponsors (if you want to sponsor, hit us up!) and we promise this will be a super fun party that you do not want to miss.  “At 3 hours into my whole internet career, I find this website that says ‘If you give me $20, I will put a link on my site that will link to your site and because I’m advertising so much, you’re going to get a lot of traffic to your site’ and I thought, Oh man, that’s brilliant!” - Armand Morin Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to hack your way into becoming a huge country music star Avoiding a painful, first business lesson  The early days of selling links and having to print out paper checks! How Armand created the world’s original search engine What happens when you get your merchant account shut down when you are on track to make over $150,000,000 in a year Why you want to think of selling through a pipeline, not a marketing funnel The early days of the Warrior Forum - who knew?!

This episode has been a long time coming, as we have been thinking about some of this stuff since 2013. Many of our listeners have told us how much they miss our Therapy Sessions where we talk about what we are doing in the business and our struggles and wins, and this show will include a lot of those insights. We chat about where we see a lot of our marketing efforts headed, how the marketing landscape is changing for all of us, and some of the things we will be doing differently. We also discuss some of the ways that we are finally fulfilling our goals from years back and how we are going all in.  Also, if you are heading to the Traffic & Conversions Summit, be sure to stop by our booth in the expo area and come say hello! Make sure you are subscribed to our YouTube channel, as there will be challenges, fun, and prizes (cha-ching!)

And after you have enjoyed this episode, be sure to check out our conversations with Angelo Sisco and Ryan Berman who share their own great insights about branding in this new marketing landscape.  “The big four - the GAFA companies - are all battling it out right now over things like privacy, the various ad platforms and methods of advertising, and all the smaller companies who are trying to play by the rules are getting squashed in the mix.” - Matt Wolfe “We are going to be doing a hybrid approach between what we have been doing in direct response and internet marketing compared to more of the branding and creator play.” - Joe Fier Some Topics We Discussed Include: The big push for privacy among GAFA What do with lower open rates and losing your cookies Want to be in the movies? How we’re all in Godzilla vs. King Kong now Let’s go back to college and talk about the S.W.O.T. analysis That one guy who is not welcome on our show Building a media brand to mirror the Tim Ferriss effect The future of course building and where to market them Our plans for Traffic & Conversions and how you can potentially be a guest on the show!

We have Anthony Trucks joining us again for round two, and we had an absolute ball. Anthony has a new book coming out, Identity Shift, which we discuss in-depth on today’s episode. This was an impactful and timely episode, and one of the things we talked about was how there are people who want variety in life, and then there are people who want stability. For example, even in our own business, our new studio is the mechanism for wanting to change things up, as things were getting a little monotonous. Another analogy that Anthony discussed was the ball analogy, where the ball that you kicked far away is your goal and when it’s too far, the doubt comes in. So when it comes to goal setting, if you build too grand of a vision, you can get into mental trouble because that ball needs to be a little closer.  He talks about people who constantly consume and don’t take any action, so the more you consume, the heavier that ball becomes. Also, he talks about how one of the goals of his book is to clarify how to close the identity gap so you can upgrade your life to the next level. There’s a lot of good stuff in this one, and after you have listened, we have some great shows from our vault you should check out, including our previous show with Anthony and our chat with Nir Eyal that deals with mindset, becoming more products, and getting valuable feedback to make better business decisions. “At the end of the day, your identity has to match your dream or it will never be realized. A lot of people have dreams that are far beyond their current identity...the cool thing is as you shift into it, you simultaneously transform as a human, but you also achieve that thing.” - Anthony Trucks Some Topics We Discussed Include: How our chairs are a metaphor for our business What makes you a skilled speaker What your ideal identity is comprised of and the identity gap Are you suffering from the epidemic of shelf esteem? The dinnertime conversation you can have with your kids to cement a positive relationship with them The difference between parenting your kids and coaching them (plus how to get your kids to clean their room!)

We’re back, coming at you from the world-famous Hustle & Flowchart Studios! Today we are talking about branding, our thoughts and our experience with it and what we are learning about branding lately including the psychology behind it. It’s been a big focus lately in that we are trying to get ourselves dialed in on our brand, uplevel the video quality, and revamping our website design. There’s some specific reasons why we feel now is the time to be branding and we dive into this on today’s episode.  We will be covering some low hanging fruit ways to brand that you probably haven’t thought about. There’s also a few cool videos that we will reference and one of more interesting ways that one major influencer is building his brand plus the surprising reasons behind it. We have also updated some of our studio equipment and will dive into what some of our favorite brands are and why. In addition to all of this, we chat about the bigger picture behind your brand, making an impact on society, and leaving a legacy. After you’ve listened, be sure to check out the past shows we’ve done with Ryan Lee and Ryan Berman to give you some additional ideas on branding and building your tribe. “It’s important to make sure you have the brand understood before you do any dramatic things to the perception of your brand. Ask yourself how are people identifying and attaching to you right now and what’s the reason they are choosing you over another podcast?” - Joe Fier “The way we see it is, the bigger the brand that we can build, the more attention that we can create on us, and then we can essentially sell that attention.” - Matt Wolfe Some Topics We Discussed Include: What the leading YouTube influencers are doing outside the normal realm of promotion Our top three favorite brands that have helped outfit our new studio Some new platforms we might be testing out with our branding Thanks again Ryan for the burrito hookup! Building up your brand to sell attention One good reason to not shoot at the highest quality for your videos Getting people to feel like your brand is a part of their family Is Apple still the creator’s choice?

Joe Sanok joins us again for a second show, with another fun conversation about chilling out, getting your mind in order, and having systems that have been a theme lately around the Hustle & Flowchart brand. A lot of conversations we have had recently are in tune with what we want to do with our brand, which translates into a smart and productive way to work. It is less about tactics and business strategies as what’s really important is figuring out what we want to do and having the business facilitate that.  On today’s show, we chat about how Joe was able to take more time off as we have done, spend more time on the important things in his business, outsource the things that are not as important, and basically slow time to get more clarity. He also tells us a great analogy with his tale of his encounter with a rhino, what to expect if you are doing a book deal with a major publisher and how hie Slow Down School has helped many entrepreneurs to do just that, while also moving their own business ideas ahead quickly. If the idea of traveling the country while working your business part-time appeals to you, be sure to check out our previous show with Joe as well as the chat we held with Justin Brooke.  “Research shows that when you slow down you have better clarity on what you need to spend your time on. So if you are taking a Wednesday off and the weekend off and you are generally setting boundaries and letting your brain be optimized, then when you get to the week, you can kill it.” - Joe Sanok   Some Topics We Discussed Include: The magical mindfulness of young minds Roadtripping across America, while road schooling kids and podcasting about the adventure The benefits of having two Fridays a week Scheduling in fun first Discovering your sprint personality to fine-tune your workflow Staying at an Airbnb for the weekend to get more work done  How we slow down in a way that matches what our brain needs What to do when you see a rhino charging right at you The science behind vigilant detriment One simple thing you can do to refresh your brain, pay attention better, and work more efficiently The trick to getting to 100 pushups a day What to expect when you publish a book with a big name publishing house Resources From Joe Sanok: The Practice of the Practice on Instagram Joe Sanok on LinkedIn Podcast Launch School Thursday is the New Friday - by Joe Sanok Practice of the Practice  Leave to Find podcast JoeSanok.com References and Links Mentioned: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks Sam Harris’ Wake Up Meditation Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

We’re back with another Tuesday episode, where it’s just the two of us, deep-diving into a few topics that we have found interesting lately, talking about what’s going on in our business, and sharing stuff that we have tried out, love, and want to share with you! Today, we are chatting about a book that we both read and really enjoyed - The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel. We definitely had some a-ha moments after going through the book, which entails discussions surrounding the plight of Americans’ inability to set money aside for emergencies, why looking into historical data is not always the best option for determining the future, and why we think it’s important to avoid the dreaded lifestyle creep in order to set yourself up for wealth. We also talk about Matt’s Amazon wish list (wait until you hear what he got for Christmas!), our takes on investing (this is definitely NOT financial advice), and our thoughts about cool cars, crypto, and being on top of buying the latest gadgets. If you enjoyed this show and want to learn more about how to make your dollar go further while getting into the correct money mindset, be sure to check out our shows with James Altucher and Wealth Without Wallstreet’s Russ Morgan and Joey Mure.  “Everyone has the ability to save, if you have the right psychology around how money works and the use of it as a vehicle to get what you want out of life.” - Joe Fier “Most people study history and look at it as an indicator of what to expect for the future, but we are literally in unchartered territory every day.” - Matt Wolfe Some Topics We Discussed Include: How most Americans can’t even come up with $400 for unexpected emergencies What’s the real reason you are driving that super cool sports car? Figuring out how to stop moving the goalpost  How to approach money as a tool to get you that happiness you really want The difference between being rich and having wealth Do you suffer from “lifestyle creep”?

Our show today with Elliot Roe, creator of an app called Primed Mind, was packed full of goodness. We chatted all about how he came to create the app after he was able to get over his fear of flying and he walked us through these pre-methods, to prime your mind for various circumstances. For example, if you have an athletic event coming up or you will be speaking on stage, it primes your mind for all these activities.  Elliot works with people who are in the top 5% but know there’s something holding them back to reach that 1%. These include top athletes, poker players, and Wall Street businessmen, who use his hypnotherapy services to get past that subconscious wall to break through to the next level. We also talk about how to get over imposter syndrome, uncovering hidden memories, and dealing with feelings of guilt, especially when it relates to running your business. Once you have listened, be sure to tune in to our previous shows with Erin Pheil and Rinesh Ganatra for additional insights on how to rock your productivity and erase those roadblocks that keep holding you back. “If there’s a big difference between what you would tell yourself and what you are doing, there’s something going on emotionally because you know the answer but you are not able to  follow that system.” - Elliot Roe Some Topics We Discussed Include: Digging into your past by using hypnotherapy to change your emotions  Common problems regarding feeling stuck at earning at a certain level and how it usually relates to your father How Elliot got over his fear of flying The interesting world of working with high-end poker players and athletes Getting over imposter syndrome How procrastination is one of the most common things Elliot’s client deal with and how to get around it Bullied as a kid?

On today’s show, we are mixing things up a bit. We usually chat amongst just the two of us on Tuesdays, on this episode we decided to use an interview of someone interviewing us. This was an interview done by Stephan Spencer, host of Get Yourself Optimized and Marketing Speak, two great podcasts. We really enjoyed his line of questioning and he even stumped us on a few things. He’s a deep thinker and is well studied, and we know you will enjoy this episode.  You’ll hear us work out some stuff and come to some realizations, such as how we got to the root of what makes us curators. Stephan is great at extracting details and asked about numbers and KPI’s, but it’s interesting because over time our business has shifted from looking at the numbers and more about prioritizing the lifestyle and inner joy. We also talk about various things we have learned from books that we love as well as how we handle our business relationship, some lessons learned from our early days in business and our ideas for the future. After you have listened, check out our previous chat with Stephan that we mentioned, since he is an SEO wizard as well as our conversation with Gary Henderson who gave us his takeaways on connecting with amazing and influential folks as well. “Our goal, focus, and mind space is always on how to create better content, and we live in that world.” - Matt Wolfe “We have established ‘No Working Wednesdays’...and it’s allowed us to go 80/20, go deeper on the key actions that we should be taking and it has us really focused in.” - Joe Fier   Some Topics We Discussed Include: Why you should focus more on creating systems and less on creating goals One of our big a-ha moments that really took the pressure off Our partnership and the good parts and bad (which basically never happen) No Working Wednesdays! Building assets, not liabilities, and how to really determine the difference between the two (it may be different than what you think) How we celebrate, even if it’s the little things Did we really meet at a party on the beach?

We’re back with another show, chatting with our friend and fellow podcaster Angelo Sisco from Alpha Hippie. One of the things we talk about is having stories around specific things, and how when you listen to others tell stories about the same thing, you can have a reframe and change your perception around this subject. Everything is a frequency, and Angelo has such a deep level of awareness which he trained himself into, and he walks a different plane than most people. You will have so many a-ha moments as you listen to Angelo explain how to reframe your mind and use both feminine and masculine energy to be successful in your business. Being a storyteller also has many benefits, and creating your own energetic energy in your life will put you in the right frame of mind. Angelo gives an overview of how he works with clients to create an identity alchemism shift, as well as the secret weapon he uses to change his frequency to match the situation he puts himself in. When you have finished, be sure to check out our previous chat with Angelo and our show with Marx Acosta-Rubio as we talk about how to get over those thoughts which are holding you back to create the mindset you need to move ahead. “So much of what holds our lives back is having those past thoughts and experiences and that’s why being able to give good stories and recreate stories in our minds creates new thought patterns, new neural pathways, and expands us, and then we can allow for shifts.” - Angelo Sisco   Some Topics We Discussed Include: How reading the Goosebumps stories as a kid, helped to build a career When telling a great story leads to analogies and insight You’ll never think about tobacco in the same way again after hearing what Angelo has to say The meaning behind the identity alchemist and how you can become your best version of yourself How to change your identity to become a wealthy person Where the best McDonald’s in the world is located!  Insights into feminine vs. masculine qualities Leading a life of bliss and serenity Angelo’s secret, favorite thing that helps him change his frequency How to train your mind to succeed in business We are reading more of your reviews, so tune in - maybe it’s yours   Resources From Angelo Sisco: Alphie Hippie Podcast Alpha Hippie   References and Links Mentioned: Angelo’s Soundcloud List Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

There’s a cool tool that we have been playing with called Conversion.ai which writes copy for you and it’s essentially grabbing information from the web and molding it to your requests with approximately 30 different modes. It helps you come up with ideas, blog posts, emails, subject lines, and some folks are even creating books with it.  There’s also a copy idea generator, so we are answering these questions Jarvis came up with along with real questions sent in by our audience. If you want your questions answered, be sure to visit HustleAndFlowchart.com/ask, where you can write your questions and we will answer them live on an upcoming show.  We also tell you how we deal with affiliate promotions and how we test the waters, to decide whether a product or service makes sense to go all-in and promote.

Artificial Intelligence, SEO, and Copywriting - Nikhil Aitharaju & Ryo Chiba Big Tech Will Crush Your Online Business (What To Do About It) - Rich Schefren

On today’s show, we are chatting with Archit Batlaw from Reach Digital. We like how he thinks through things, and how he talks about what it was like to work at Facebook. We also talk about his predictions and the consolidations as to how Facebook is getting into podcasting and how so many big companies are emulating what other big companies are doing. Archit talks about how, if you have followers, that’s way more powerful than figuring out some Facebook ad strategy. There’s the AI that’s available for everyone and it’s optimized already.  A lot of the things that people are specializing in right now such as copywriting and media buying are examples of things where AI is getting better and better at. This brings us to the main point in this episode which is how building a brand is everything. We also chat about the latest Apple update, some predictions about the future of the big media companies, and some thoughts on what Apple has in store next. Archit also gives us his thoughts on how he stays focused, how to put your tasks on an axis to determine how much time you may be wasting, and other ways to stay in alignment. After you listen, be sure to check out our shows with Rich Schefren and Bruce Clay for more insight into future trends in the digital marketing world. “With a subscription business, you don’t necessarily need to have this churn and burn, with 8,000 customers. You can have 1,000-2,000 customers and have a pretty nice business going.” - Archit Batlaw   Some Topics We Discussed Include: What it’s really like working at Facebook Is Facebook really tapping in our phones? Following the theme of trial by fire to get customers fast Is Facebook a social network or is it an eCommerce network?

In this episode, we want to talk about the direction of our show and how we’d like to chat with the entrepreneur that was us 15 years ago. We find that there’s a lot missing when we don’t have that perspective in mind, and maybe that’s you or you have a business and you want to go back to basics. We are talking about the handful of things that our younger selves would really appreciate hearing, such as our ideas on delegation, building our list, setting up systems, and how we put content out into the world. The overall theme is we want to identify different strategies that can help our younger selves and get past some hurdles and roadblocks even quicker. Another segment of today’s episode revolved around how we’ve been sending out emails, asking how we can help you and what are you struggling with in your business now. So if you have emailed us, listen up as we answer a few of the questions that we have received. When you’re done, go check out our conversations with Scott Carson and Stephen Esketzis for more ideas on how to set up systems and your content strategy to reach your audience more efficiently. “Speaking to our younger selves is creating a content machine that allows you to not only grow your brand by putting things out to the world and be able to share it but connecting with highly connected and successful people. You can engineer that yourself by creating your own platform. - Joe Fier “I’ve stopped thinking about being happy when and just enjoying what we are doing right now. I’ve shifted my thinking into ‘Let’s just make every day fun, and figure out how to make money off of that fun-ness that we’re having.’” - Matt Wolfe   Some Topics We Discussed Include: Before we knew what we were doing, drinking Corona and hanging out in the driveway The mindset shifts which we both have had in the business, and have led us to have more time on our hands Our platform way of thinking to connect with people and bring your message out to the world How to become a merchant of attention so people can buy attention from you The magic of leveraging a platform to build your own platform The Catch-22 of being concerned about sending too many emails to your list Wise words from the founder of Netflix How our content strategy has allowed us to connect with not only our audience but a slew of amazing entrepreneurs How we structure our free and paid content and why you should give away most of your information for free We are also answering your questions on today’s show.

How A Master Digital Marketer Uses His Skills To Crush It In Real Estate - Scott Carson Affiliate Marketing Using Epic Content - Stephen Esketzis

This was a super fun episode with Chris Parker where we covered a lot of things that we haven’t before. Chris is a unique marketer in that he has more traffic than he knows what to do with, and we love the fact that he's built this system to give back to the world. He’s the founder of WhatIsMyIPAddress.com, a tech-friendly website attracting a remarkable 9 million IP-seeking visits a month. We discuss the benefit of banner ads and using an aggregator, and the breakdown of how his site brings in revenue, plus the promotion of his in-house tools which you can find on his site.  Chris also talks about how he uses HARO to get interviews for his podcast, Easy Prey Podcast, and his recommendations on how to make your media page stand out to visitors, so perhaps even you will get on television as he did. Motivated by stories of cybercrime victims, in 2020 Chris created his podcast to help followers learn about scams, fraud, and other dangers they face online and in the real world. When your stuff is compromised things can go south fast, and you’ll hear Chris’s take on creating online log-ins, two-factor authorizations, and all the aggravation you want to avoid if you have to contact a website if you lose your information.  If you want to dive deeper into the quiz funnel idea that Chris discussed on the show, be sure to check out our show with Ryan Levesque, and if you want to dive deeper into Google ads, you’ll love our show with Justin Brooke.   “I have the opposite problem that every affiliate marketer has. I have so much traffic, I don’t know what to do with it all.” - Chris Parker   Some Topics We Discussed Include: The revolution of deep fakes in the world of scammers What to be aware of as business owners, so you don’t get scammed Dealing with bottlenecks in the business, before you get too successful Should you use header bidding in your advertising? Which are the best ad networks to worth with, especially when you are just starting out Why you want a media page and what to include so it gets you more contacts Using VPN networks - whether you should or not and which ones to use An easy solution to get around the possibility of a ransomware attack The three red flags you should know behind most email scams Examples of people who have been scammed and how to make sure you are not next   Resources From Chris Parker: EasyPrey.com - download the self-assessment  What Is My IP Address   References and Links Mentioned: Chris’ Show About Deep Fakes Have I Been Pwned Publift   Freestar Studio1Design.com NordVPN Carbonite  Idrive  Backblaze Google Authenticator Ryan Levesque’s Ask Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

We’re back again with our Therapy Session-ish chat - or soon to be called some other new awesome name. We record them roughly the week before the show goes live, so the content we bring you is as fresh as the memory of the last dollar you made online. Lately we’ve been talking about dialing in all the stuff in our business and how we are aligning our actions with where we are headed in the next 10 years and beyond. We know that we all have things that we do routinely, such as checking emails and touching base with people, and when you have a good system behind it, it’ll make your day go so much smoother.  You’ll especially enjoy listening to Matt’s background with designing systems and how his brain works when it comes to fine-tuning the most simple of tasks with the use of some very simple tools. He talks about his three-step process and how he’s able to get to the coveted inbox zero on a daily basis. After you’ve got your mind spinning, be sure to listen to our chats with Paul Minors and David Jenyns who give us even more strategies and tactics to build systems in your life and business, so you can have more time, be more productive, and scale your business. “I do the stuff I least look forward to first so that all that’s left for the day is the stuff I do look forward to doing..” - Matt Wolfe “There’s the momentum of task completion too. You start with the easiest task first, and you build from that point on.” - Joe Fier   Some Topics We Discussed Include: Bringing the fun energy pre-show a la The Foo Fighters How to constantly be optimizing even the smallest of tasks to make everything more efficient Matt breaks down his 3 step system for handling email communication The tools we use to make our lives easier so we have time for more fun How to get to inbox zero every day Reframing all your work and tasks to be able to look forward to the fun part of your business How to get your systems dialed in, even if you really stink at it Our plans for the future direction of the show Lessons learned about how to change your identity for the better   Our Resources: PodHacker   References and Links Mentioned: Text Expander  Roam Research Super Human Kolbe Test Calendly Conversion.ai Atomic Habits by James Clear Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

The time really flew by on today’s episode with Ryan Berman of Courageous Brands, as we let Ryan’s stories interweave into the show. Ryan brings to the table a different perspective than most marketing people. We discuss his stair stepper approach to marketing and how everything is connected. We also talk about how he created an actual city location, in Funner, CA and the magic behind that marketing campaign.  One of the things that we love about this conversation is to start by stepping into the shoes of who you are selling to, which is something we intuitively know, but don’t always practice. Think of how you would want to be marketed to, which is one of the toughest things, but remember the customers are holding all the cards. Ryan also discusses how, if you have a boring brand, do something to change that fact, and create stories around the brand to make it exciting. Also, make sure you listen to the end, as we read some of our recent reviews - maybe it’s from you! And after you have enjoyed this episode, be sure to check out our conversations with Dan Norris and Ryan Lee, who have both created successful brands by offering value and fun in a different way that makes them stand out from the rest. “We’re living in this world now, where we are inundated with 7,000 messages a day. There’s so much competition right now and that’s why brand is so important.” - Ryan Berman   Some Topics We Discussed Include: Why “No feel, no deal” is so important to your business David Hasselhoff and the magic behind a “Funner” city The beauty of marketing today in telling your story Getting from strategy to ideas to execution How to flip common perspectives to bring your brand to new levels From ducks to geckos - what to do if you have a boring brand Beerfest vs. Craftfest?

As promised, we are back with another show that’s just the two of us sharing what we’ve been learning lately and how it’s impacted our lives for the better - all while we are having more fun! We’ve been doing a lot of soul searching and have been upgrading our lives in different ways. We’re also still continuing to get insights and help from our friends and podcast guests, which is one of the main benefits of what we do. We also discuss our new schedules, our awesome new studio space, how we’ve been able to rid ourselves of several limiting beliefs and make the adjustment to hand off work which was hard to do at first, but has freed us up and in turn, made more money. Plus, we give our thoughts on a recent video we watched which dissects how to enjoy the journey as well as how to determine what’s meaningful in your business so you can spend less time on the things you think are important or necessary, but are really holding you back. After you’ve listened, don’t forget to check out the conversations we mentioned with Erin Pheil, Angelo Sisco, and Marx Acosta-Rubio on how to manage your life and workflow, for more balance and free time. “There is a lot of mental clarity and that allows us to almost naturally have more fun.” - Joe Fier “I go to my computer, Joe goes to his computer. I start working on things...we are sending files back and forth via Slack even though we’re next to each other, and the next thing we know it’s been 3 hours and we just built an entire funnel. Let’s go to lunch.” - Matt Wolfe   Some Topics We Discussed Include: How our new bachelor pad/podcast studio has made our life easier and more productive Are burritos or tacos the next productivity booster?

This is the third show where we discuss Empire Flippers, and today we are chatting with Justin Cooke, one of the founders. Justin talked about the Amazon affiliate sites that they sell a lot of, and a good way to learn which sites are selling is to visit their site and go through the listings. Keeping up to date on what’s selling in the marketplace is super valuable for all of us. We’re all building assets and there’s a way to enhance their value. We also talk about the hiring process, and if you check out their site under the careers tab, you’ll be able to see what we are talking about. He’s got a pretty solid hiring process that he mapped out. He discusses his sales funnel process of hiring, the benefits of hiring an apprentice, how to find potential hires if you don’t already have an audience to reach out to, and how to weed out the non-contenders early on. He also has an interesting take on the commission process and discusses how he’s made it more of a cooperative arrangement, which has worked out very well. After you listen and your mind is reeling from ideas, you’ll definitely want to check out our previous chats with Greg Elfrink and Matt Diggity, on how to best create a site for a future sale or to maintain it while making affiliate income.   “I don’t want to fail them..and if I fail them, I’m just going to be amplifying my own failure. But also, any entrepreneur that waits until they are ready to hire has waited way too long.” - Justin Cooke   Some Topics We Discussed Include: Pivoting after one of Google’s updates Record-breaking numbers on website sales How to hire an apprentice for your business and working through the ups and downs Breaking down the strategy session process A really smart way to get you noticed when applying for a position Getting over your fears about hiring Building commissions in a cooperative way so the whole team wins Using a cooperative approach for a commissions structure What to do when you are first starting out if building a site to sell Resources From Justin Cooke: Empire Flippers The Opportunity Podcast Empire Flippers Podcast Justin Cooke on Twitter @EmpireFlippers EF Capital   References and Links Mentioned: Flippa The Tropical MBA Gen M Creative Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

We’re back with another awesome show, chatting with Travis Chappell, host of Build Your Network Podcast and creator of Guestio. Travis is a guy that we could have easily chatted with for another hour and what came out of this show was way better than we anticipated. We discussed how to get the big name guests on your show, how to interact with them and encourage them to share the show afterward, how to network and build relationships with them, and how to create big events with past guests. He’s got a great philosophy when it comes to networking and while there’s a lot of things you can’t track such as the shoutouts from people you collaborate with, there’s also a lot of intangible benefits that happen down the road, such as investing, referrals, and advisory relationships. We love his idea of hosting dinners and bringing people together and we also love how he created his own reality for success as he used to live in a bubble growing up. Travis discussed his research methods and how he has put hours into it before the guest shows up, noting some key things to pick up on, so you can chat about the things which will make your guest light up. After you have enjoyed this show, check out the chats we referenced with Jordan Harbinger and Luis Diaz for even more ideas on how to network with the people you want in your circle and growth hack your podcast up the charts. “It was the first time in my life that I had actually taken a pay cut to do something different, but I just knew it was something I was meant to be doing.” - Travis Chappell   Some Topics We Discussed Include: Our recent thoughts on ClubHouse Starting from nothing with no contacts Giving your guests a reason to share the show with their audience Why having a podcast is like getting a free education How to navigate the conversation to get unique content out of your guests A unique follow up process for past gets that adds a boatload of value The new platform that makes it easy to connect with podcasts and filter out the podcasters who are less serious Examples of questions to ask your guests that stand out from the usual, boring topics How to get over the fear of reaching out to big-name guests   Resources From Travis Chappell: Guestio Build Your Network Podcast TravisChappell.com   References and Links Mentioned: PodHacker $2 MILLION in 12 Months, The Price of Mr. Beast's Success PodHacker.com/news Noah Kagan’s interview with Lewis Howes Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review and if we read your review on the episode, we’ll send you a free shirt!

We have the wonderful Victoria Song on the show today, and one of the big topics we discuss is how, through her coaching, she has talked to people who have made millions of dollars, yet feel empty inside, and how it definitely seems to be a common thing among the high achievers. Victoria warp speeded her own journey, coming from the V.C. world as a super achiever, and is now on a journey to do more and help people who have created hugely successful lives, but still feel unfulfilled. She delves into why we need to discover the things that really light us up and how to go about doing that in such a way where the path will eventually reveal itself.  She also talks about how to focus on your awareness and your emotions to make you feel less fragile so you can let go of trying to control life while staying calm in times of uncertainty. Victoria even walked us through some coaching on the show, where we talked about constricted energy patterns arising from past events, and how to use her framework to get past it. It’s all about consistency and we’ve integrated a lot of these techniques ourselves lately to realize our patterns and get into more of a state of flow where we are leaning more towards our focus on having fun with the business. After you have listened, you’ll want to check out our conversations with Angelo Sisco and John Assaraf to help you destroy those blocks that are stopping your progress. “Our subconscious lives in our body and in our nervous systems, and not just in our minds. The body remembers what the mind may forget.” - Victoria Song   Some Topics We Discussed Include: Delving into why people are unfulfilled after experiencing great success The amazing results from hiring a life coach Using unpleasant emotions as fuel for expansion What entrepreneurs should be doing during the start up phase and afterwards to prevent the dreaded feeling that something is missing Why you want to be more like bison How to get into more of a flow state and operate from a sense of play What to do when you get to that place where your nervous system has expanded Accessing the field of infinite possibilities How to create friction in your life so you can uplevel What to do when you don’t know your life’s purpose   Resources From Victoria Song: Victoria Song Bending Reality   References and Links Mentioned: Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

Our episode today with Erik Huberman of Hawke Media was a mini-class of 5-6 various topics all combined in one show. We talked about increasing lifetime value, about how venture funds work, equity deal lessons, the marketing we should be focused on, and building an agency, systems, and owning your audience. We share the vision with Erik, as there’s a lot of what we’ve done previously such as having an agency, and we like the fact that he’s not trying to create his own products, but is just staying in his lane. We also talked about owning your own audience and bringing them somewhere where you can follow up with them as well as the idea of aspirational content where the content is built so it’s inherently sharable as that’s the content that people want to be shown. The content is what goes viral, not the sales page. We talk about how he is building sweat equity and brought in someone to view what he was doing, as there are probably some better deal structures out there. Erik has all these companies and basically crafted something where he can be his best self, which creates funds, books, and his own platform through scaling people. After you have listened, be sure to check out our chats with Charles Byrd and Sergei & Vadim Revzin to get your mind reeling with the opportunities behind venture funding and expanding your network for lucrative deals.  “Figuring out your average sales cycle is critical so you can analyze everything else well.” - Erik Huberman   Some Topics We Discussed Include: How venture funds are the next level of curation Accessibility for great marketing for all From beanie babies to a BMX The #1 thing that most companies overlook in their marketing Why 9 women can’t make a baby in a month Why the consideration period is more important than you realize Dialing in your content with your product or services’ aspirational ideals   Resources From Erik Huberman: Hawke Media Ecommweek.la Hawke Capital References and Links Mentioned: PostScript  Fab Fit Fun  Beautycon  Rebelmail  TapCart Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

What’s up, Hustle & Flowchart community?! We’re back with another therapy session and moving forward we are not only upping the frequency of these shows but want to make it more focused. On today’s show, we are diving into one of our favorite topics, affiliate marketing. We’re talking about how, after listening to one of our most popular therapy sessions from last year, we revisited what we are doing in the business, applied the 80/20 rule to our actions, and are making the necessary adjustment moving forward to focus on what we really love doing best - the platform building and building the audiences, and once we’ve built the audiences, showing people how we did it and tools that we used to do it. We also talk about some recent changes we made to our PodHacker membership, our love for our new studio and how it’s helped us to better manage our time, as well as a super cool Key Step Tutorial strategy and how we used it recently, promoting one of our favorite new tools, Conversion.ai. This is a great strategy that is not overwhelming to put in place, really targets those in your audience that are interested in what you are promoting, and is something that anything can do in their business. As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts as we appreciate you coming along with us on our journey! Don’t forget to check out our previous episodes where we discuss our affiliate marketing strategies: The Tools We Use For Affiliate Marketing and Unapologetic Affiliate Marketing Strategies.  “It really was a point where we actually had an ideal business model right there, and we were very close to it, where we didn’t have to do much. But we let it almost grow in ways that we didn’t want that load on us.” - Joe Fier “We really enjoy the platform building and building the audiences, and once we’ve built the audiences, showing people how we did it and tools that we used to do it.” - Matt Wolfe   Some Topics We Discussed Include: Whose face should join us in our podcast studio? The realization after our 80/20 analysis Discussing and reviewing a conversation we’ve had previously Our super cool KST strategy which can be done in different modalities Getting our content calendar dialed in Going down the rabbit hole on YouTube One huge benefit of the podcast as an online journal A big change for PodHacker that really benefits our members The actions that are almost guaranteed to make the most money   Our Resources: Check out Aaron Fletcher’s KAD method  PodHacker Conversion.ai   References and Links Mentioned: Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

He talks about entertaining first and making it interesting and engaging. JaMarr did this perfectly on today’s show and we mention his book, Super-Connecting a lot, which you should definitely grab. We also chat about affiliate marketing and we love how he explains it simply as ‘recommending stuff.’  We also talk about the serenity prayer, reframing your emotions and the fears surrounding public speaking, and how to rewire your brain. JaMarr then talks about his connection with a cannabis company and the health side behind it. He has a proven track record of figuring out the wins all around and leveraging what someone already  has going on, and he’s using his skills to leverage the processes, traffic, and infrastructure to make it all happen.

We have a great show today with Joel Erway of The Webinar Agency. We’re big fans of Joel’s selling process and the fact that he simplified the selling process dramatically and put all the obvious pieces out there. His power offer is so simple where he is basically making a no-brainer offer saying he can build this for you, you can have it within 24 hours and it’s guaranteed to make you more money than you spend on it. He also discusses his application process to pre-qualify a lead. You don’t always want to put the price on the application and set any expectations, because once you get someone on the phone, you might be able to offer them even more. You can use this process with affiliate offers and even a hybrid model, using it with potential rev share deals. With Joel’s method, you are getting the hottest prospects and are ready to solve their problems. It’s a way to extend that relationship, so it can be a great way to bring your best buyers to you. We also talk about having the MQL and SQL when building your offer, and how identifying folks ahead of time is super powerful. When you are done be sure to listen to our conversations with Jason Fladlien, a webinar and handling sales objections master, and Sam Bell, who discusses high converting webinar audiences and value-based strategies.  “What we are doing is going after the solution aware market.” - Joel Erway   Some Topics We Discussed Include: A big turning point in how Joel structured his offer How the power offer came to fruition and the amazing results that occurred A 90% reduction in cost per acquisition by flipping the offer around The steps that will define your own power offer The #1 mistake when creating a power offer and mini webinar Why you don’t always want to include the price in your application process The difference between MQL’s and SQL’s and which you should focus on How to get a complete mini-webinar done for you in ten days ready to launch Low ticket offers vs. high ticket offers and which to use when Examples of big wins when working with clients Getting as specific as possible to appeal to those who value time currency   Resources From Joel Erway: The Webinar Agency Joel Erway.com Experts Unleashed Podcast Sold WIth Webinars Podcast   References and Links Mentioned: How To Create Irresistible Offers by Bob Bly DSLR Video Shooter on YouTube Peter McKinnon on YouTube Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

Alex Mandossian joins us on the show today and we really like his storytelling formula. It was even better to hear it in action and have him explain it as he went along in the content of the framework that he laid out. You can use this structure for everything, and the way he “sells” is the way we would sell. We tell stories that theoretically get people to buy from us but we never go for the close. He was explaining what people would miss out on, and towards the closing, he does it in a way where people are realizing they need to work with him, so it becomes their idea to work with him.  Alex also discussed the cost of inaction and using that in relation to the story is something that’s not used often but has great results. Part of what he does is have you picture possibilities and go through the motions with him, so it makes you feel like you can do this. You’ll hear Alex’s story structure of when/where, who is involved, what happened, then how and why this is relevant to you. You’ll also hear some great stories as only Alex can tell them, as well as some tips to other marketing icons through the years, as Alex brings his many years of knowledge to the show. If you liked this episode, you might also enjoy our chats with Sean Vosler for even more storytelling techniques and with C.J. Martin, who not only tells some great stories but talks about how to build a standout brand in a crowded market. “I don’t change minds, I convince minds who are already coming in my direction or going to a competitor to rechannel behavior.” - Alex Mandossian   Some Topics We Discussed Include: A marketing launch that made $1.2 million in less than 30 minutes Knowing your first mentor How to boost your conversion rates with one sentence The two step process to lowering acquisition costs The winning sales technique behind a chocolate chip cookie sale and a trip to Disneyland How anyone can be a marketer The framework of what makes a great story, especially the ending The $14,000,000 toilet teleseminar story A simple, two questions trial close that anyone can do   Resources From Alex Mandossian: Fool Proof Discovery Session Script All Selling Aside Podcast 3 Reasons Why People Won’t Buy   References and Links Mentioned: Conversion.ai Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

We rarely bring on guests that do a cold reach out to us, but Avi Arya is one of the rare guests who made it onto the show that way, and he did this by using the same video technique that he shared on this show to contact us. He is the first video outreach we ever brought on, and his video really stood out, over the approximate 30 requests we get on a daily basis. Avi covers a variety of video formats, and he managed to build a $126,500 who have been on his program which starts at his $1 webinar. He’s also got a huge following on Instagram and gives a ton of free value on there and Facebook. What intrigued us, is this is something we’ve been doing and we’ve never had a methodical process.  Avi also gave us so many additional ideas to use this style of video, and you could start with the videos we outline then go deeper on so many other videos with his catalog. Plus, you can start all of this using just your phone. The video is personally customized and it’s simple outreach that sends you to his YouTube channel. It doesn’t take a long time to create, and the reason he does this is that he wants to be with his family more. If you are not using video and leveraging these tools, this is like magic, and you need to harness it now to connect with people. After you have listened, be sure to listen to our chats with Shaina Weisinger and Gideon Shalwick as they dive into the keys to keep people watching your videos and the best tips for the highest engagement. “I think you have to put your foot down and say ‘I’ll give you stellar service, but I do it only on video.’ You have to tell people this is how I do my business.” - Avi Arya    Some Topics We Discussed Include: How the video factor wows your potential customers Examples of exactly what to say in your video Getting buyers for 90 cents a lead and a $1 trial offer How the pandemic has changed the way entrepreneurs spend their time Avi’s 4-minute video formula for outreach A winning strategy to use with Quora ads An overview of the 33 videos in the program, including all the social media platforms What you are probably not taking advantage of with your Instagram profile but definitely should be using The superpower of the 21st century and how you can leverage it to gain an audience How often you should be making videos and the perfect length, depending on your goals   Resources From Avi Arya: You can see Avi’s offers on his Instagram: AskAviArya   References and Links Mentioned: Internet Moguls Bonjoro Loom Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

You’ll hear about the specific equipment we purchased, the way we set it up for a particular reason, as well as some less costly, but totally fun purchases we made to make it our own.

We want a creator space and a getaway, thinking mastermind space.” - Matt Wolfe   Some Topics We Discussed Include: The one time recently when Matt was not wearing a hat (for a very good reason) The big “Why” behind the reason we moved forward with securing our studio space Saying goodbye to the trash man, the washing machine, and the gardener Shout out to our awesome editor, Jacob Listen in as we take you through an audio tour of this massive new space Some fun, cheaper items we added to strategically bring into the mix  The way we set up our camera in a specific way Some changes for the future and where we are taking the show next How we view YouTube and the amazing opportunities we plan on focusing on (and how you can potentially be a part of it!)   Our Resources: Here’s a list of all of the cool studio tools we mentioned: PodHacker.com/gear   References and Links Mentioned: The super comfy All33 chair The YouTube Formula by Derral Eves Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

Today’s show is a special one, as it’s the first podcast we recorded in our new Flowchart Studios location, chatting with Mikael Dia from Funnelytics. On today’s show, we discussed his momentum engine which is his four-step process that is customer-centric to attract, close, deliver and retain. Also, his 1-3-10 process is very cool, and if you are struggling for sales, he makes some great points. He’s got this concept about not bothering to run ads because if you are trying to get your first 100 leads on your list, use your social media account and your friends, tap your existing network, then ask them to tap their own network. If you are just getting started, just figure out how to get that first one, then duplicate the same system for the first three, then the first ten. We talk also about how to scale, bring more revenue into the process and dive into whether that’s the right market for you, instead of being caught up in the latest ways to drive traffic. With Funnelytics you can really drill down to see what the high impact stuff is, so you can scale those things and you are not guessing in your marketing anymore. After you have enjoyed this show, and to get even more insight into testing your marketing tactics, check out our episodes with Shaqir Hussyin and Anfernee Chansamooth. “I thought wouldn’t it be cool if I could just draw my funnel on a canvas and overlay all my data just like I would on a whiteboard, and that’s how Funnelytics came to be.” - Mikael Dia   Some Topics We Discussed Include: How Funnelyitics came to be and the process of creating a new piece of software Testing and trying new online methods until you get that very first sale  You want to have this one, very important thing when building a software company How to validate your product idea while giving value and getting feedback ahead of time Mistakes made along the way when building this tool The two things you need in order to grow your business and how the momentum engine fits in How the 1-3-10 scaling method will help you understand what adjustments need to be made to scale Using data from the software to run simulations and forecast future conversions and revenue   Resources From Mikael Dia: Funnelytics   References and Links Mentioned: Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

Brian Kurtz joins us for round two today, and we really love how open he is and how he dives into his wisdom from his book, Overdeliver. We talked about the shifts and pivots people had to make over the last year from going to live events to online conversations. Plus, we chat about the things we’ve had to shave off from our own lives and what we can stop doing, which is something that’s not talked about as much. It’s that non-negotiable part of our lives, which we have individually and collectively been saying no to lately. Something else Brian discusses is non-negotiables in our lives and knowing that if we don’t want to do it, if it’s not fun, which is the main theme of our show lately. We have stopped glorifying the money part of the business but instead, try to glorify our lifestyles. You’ll also hear Brian’s thoughts on what he’s learned from the marketing greats, such as Perry Marshall, Jay Abraham, and Dan Kennedy, and even Picasso, how he uses what he’s learned from direct marketing over the years as well as how he is getting amazing open rates with his emails. After you have listened, you’ll want to check out our chats with Mike Long and Marx Acosta-Rubio for more talk about how to make the best use of your time while using this current economy to your advantage. “If you have content, not everybody is going to see the content all of the time. Even if you repeat stuff a year later, it’s new for a big chunk of the audience.” - Brian Kurtz   Some Topics We Discussed Include: Lessons learned from direct marketing 101 Applying rules from geniuses like Picasso to apply to the future Pre-pandemic planning which led to success What to keep and what to throw away in your business What does cutting up a salami have to do with content marketing? The 4 C’s concept when trying new projects What’s ahead for the future of live events One easy tip to get a 45% open rate with your emails Lessons learned from the titans of direct marketing The beauty of curating content and overdelivering   Resources From Brian Kurtz: Overdeliver Breakthrough Advertising Brian Kurtz to get on Brian’s list and find ways to work with him Titans Xcelerator The Breakthrough Advertising Quickstart Bootcamp   References and Links Mentioned: Capability Amplifier podcast with Mike Koenigs & Dan Sullivan The Dan Sullivan Question book Who Not How by Dan Sullivan Essentialism by Greg McKeown Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

This is the last recording that we recorded in Matt’s office - woo-hoo! We really loved our conversation with today’s guest - Dale Beaumont of BusinessBlueprint.com. The way he creates his systems is so smart, and if you did not see the video version of it, he showed us that he has a flowchart for literally everything he does in his business. His systems include things like how to change the lightbulbs and how to make coffee in the coffee maker as well as more in-depth tasks such as how to set up an email campaign and how to create an asset register. You can see that video on our YouTube channel at HustleAndFlowchart.tv   There was also a boatload of mindset stuff, as Dale talked about how we create excuses that hold us back and reminded us that there are so many tasks we do ourselves that are super easy which we know we can hand off to someone else. It’s not about the time, it’s about the mental space and the opportunity cost. Dale also showed us how to document things with apps such as Loom or Otter and how, basically you can run an entire coordinated event, assigning due dates, and linking to all of your SOP’s. We also talk about how he was able to publish 11 different books in one year and how he set up his systems which allow him to travel with his family 4 months out of the year. After you have listened, check out our chats with Michael Gerber, another systems marketer, and Crystal Dwyer Hansen & Mark Victor Hansen who were instrumental in Dale’s success with book publishing.   “The reason being is because I had great systems. When you’ve got good systems and people, and you’ve got a good product, then you can really scale.” - Dale Beaumont   Some Topics We Discussed Include:   How Dale is able to spend two months at home, then travel for one month, including his wife and two kids Being able to publish eleven books in one year Smart advice to move forward from one of the most successful book authors This one question to ask yourself to determine if you need a system or not Setting up your own mission control for all of your team’s tasks The three core components you need when systemizing your business Getting over the limiting thoughts so you can hand more stuff off to save you hours and hours of time Making business decision using simple math   Resources From Dale Beaumont:   BusinessBlueprint.com   References and Links Mentioned: Secrets Exposed  Business Blueprint Loom ScreenCast-O-Matic Google Sites Active Campaign Ontraport Descript Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

We covered a lot on our show today with Massimo Chieruzzi, as he tells his story through the episode while pulling out lessons about content marketing and lead scoring. This episode is part comedy and a whole lot of insights and tactics about content marketing. You’ll hear about some of the pinnacle moments Massimo had while building AdEspresso, his content marketing strategies, his thoughts about startups and the ups and down of moving your business to a new country. We also talk about how he was able to build up AdEspresso in such a short time by doing a lot of split tests, with actionable information and sharing the data of what they found. They also created a giant swipe file, which anyone can make for their own audience. Now you have a page on your site that’s very attractive where you are aggregating information, getting a ton of backlinks without having to create a 5,000 word post. We also talk about his big exit from the company, and how so many have this idea they will exit, retire onto easy street, but that’s usually never the case. You’ll also want to check out Massimo’s manifesto he wrote which is all about revenue acceleration on his new venture, Breadcrumbs.io. There’s a lot of principles in there that pulls a lot of the nuggets he references, such as the value exchange.

We all have this pull-back effect and let our minds wander when we are away from home.

Bob Burg is the author of quite a few books, notably The Go Giver series, which is one of the very early ones we still reference, and it’s such a smooth read as it’s told in a story form. Being open to receiving is probably one of the things most people struggle with, and this came up in our conversation today as there’s this feeling that we want to constantly give value.

After you’ve listened, go check out our conversations with Nir Eyal and Brian Kurtz for more insight into how to build upon positive habits and promote values that are important to your life and business.  “Money is an echo of value. It’s the thunder to value’s lightning which means that the value must be the focus and the money you receive is a natural result of the value you are providing.” - Bob Burg   Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to address the separation of how we communicate online What to do if you feel like you are being taken advantage of in business Being congruent in your giving and staying true to your values Mastering your emotions How to let go of the need to be right all the time while also influencing others A coffee shop story you can learn from to set up your matrix The importance of communicating with tact   Resources From Bob Burg: Burg.com/books Go Giver Influencer  Bob Burg on YouTube Adversaries Into Allies   References and Links Mentioned: Think Again by Adam Grant Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

Purpose Driven Copywriting - Anik Singal How To Stand Out In The Inbox And Get 50%+ Open Rates - Sue Rice

Today marks International Women’s Day, a day dedicated to all the amazing ladies around the world. On this special day, we’d like to pay tribute to the badass women who we have had the pleasure to have as guests on the show during 2020. Check out some of the awesome strategies and tactics which we have covered via these badass gals!   Sue Rice - Storytelling Tips Nicknamed the ‘female David Ogilvy’, Sue Rice is famous for writing award-winning copy for countless entrepreneurs and we chatted about her email copywriting tactics which enable her to deliver record-breaking open rates. One idea is to make connections between things that are seemingly unrelated. We are swimming in a sea of metaphors and part of it is just being conscious of it. One way to make it interesting and bring it into a fresher light, is extensive reading, watching movies, etc. The magic is in everything that’s around us.  Sue listens to the news on the BBC, which has very clever writers. She also uses an app called Clipboard where you can pick the categories you want to follow. It’s important to do a little bit of collective brainstorming every day to see what people are talking about, otherwise, you are defining what you are doing for them on your terms, not theirs. You want to be entering the conversation in their head and if you are not watching that, it’s hard to do.   Molly Mahoney - Facebook Engagement Molly Mahoney of The PrePared Performer, is legendary for her Facebook marketing skills. She’s a wizard at doing Facebook lives and getting organic reach. We chatted all about how Molly is able to get high ticket coaching clients, right from Facebook, how to grow Facebook groups, and how to get interaction on Facebook pages with her four-step process. We loved her advice in regards to getting more engagement on Facebook. She tells us that the rules have changed for bots and there are four types of messages, one of them being a confirmed event reminder. When they comment on the post, they confirm to the bot they want to be reminded of more information. Another way to use this is that when they say yes, you ask them if they want to be reminded about all of your content coming out.  Once they confirm, you want to make sure that button opens up to another piece of the conversation so you are engaging in another conversation within that 24 hours.  Another strategy is the “Unlock and Share Button”, so when they are in your bot after they get the show notes or whatever it is that you are giving, send another message a minute later that says you have a bonus gift they can get if they share your video, and if they want to access, just click here to unlock and share the video.    Lisa Cherney - The More You GFR, The More Impact (And Money) You Will Make Lisa Cherney, now known as The Queen of Clarity, is the host of the ground-breaking confession-based GFR Podcast show for successful soulful entrepreneurs and founder of the GFR Squad, a lively community that is serious about embracing the GFR lifestyle and living a life without regrets. One of her GFR commandments is “Don’t worry about being normal” and the confession is “Where are you not speaking your truth?” That’s where the juice is, determining what is your soapbox. If you weren’t worrying about offending anyone or breaking any laws, what would you want to say? People are too concerned about what strategy they are going to use, but eventually, the strategy will emerge. The more you get real, the more impact you will make. So the first thing is to determine if you are ready. If you’ll do all the strategies and make the investment, this is where to go next. If you are ready, choose the confession question that hits you in the gut and go from there. Just pick the one question, take some time with it, and it will do wonders.   Sara Christensen - Defending Your Business Our chat with Sara was really eye-opening as she talks about how one little post sent her world in a spiral, leading to an all-out war waged on her business, thousands of hateful messages, and even death threats. You want to be extra careful what you are putting out there and what you are involved in. If you don’t already have procedures in place of your social media and email communications, you should make sure that whatever you put out in the world is not going to offend or piss someone off. If you are using outside resources for VA’s, you may run a risk. You don’t want someone working on your team, that’s not as invested or doesn’t understand the complications of posting something that might be harmful. Understand the power of social media which is so amazing yet also be weaponized against you. Be mindful to use it as a building block for your business. Consider if there other ways to diversify where your clients are coming from. Ask yourself, “What if your social media channels got taken away today - what other plans do you have in place?”   Ilana Wechsler - In-Market Audience Targeting  We also chatted with Ilana Wechsler of Green Arrow Digital, who is a former data analyst, turned Pay Per Click marketing expert. She detailed her paid ad puzzle technique and how to make the different pieces of your marketing puzzle work together.  Google is shifting away from the concept of targeting content science to targeting more in regards to who you are as a person, which is like identity-based targeting. One of the ways they are doing this is with in-market audiences, which is very short-term intent-based searching. So you can match your Facebook targeting to Google’s in-market audiences. For example, consider if you are suddenly in the market to buy a car, where you don’t normally search online for car information. Then there are what’s called affinity audiences which is your long-term behavior or things you are looking at online often. So basically you're starting with the people that are already going to your website and looking at who they are and what their actions are, and then slowly expanding out more and more as you get additional data on who these people are that are already coming to your site. If you find those audiences work, especially on the Google side of things, you can apply that in-market audience to your search quadrant and also to the YouTube quadrant. It's a process of systematically building out your puzzle, based on data and if something doesn't work then it doesn't make sense to apply it to a different quadrant.     Susie Moore - Removing Your Blocks We loved chatting with Susie Moore, author of Stop Checking Your Likes as it’s something we’ve all fallen into. One of the things she discussed was how to remove your blocks. First, you need to state as a fact, that you are worthy of receiving. Susie uses the example of being out on a hike with your friends and you go missing. Would your friends consider if you were worth finding, asking if you were thin enough, popular enough, etc.? If this is true in the physical world, this is true on all levels. Even if you have a million likes or followers, it does not alter your worthiness. If you can accept this as a fact and don’t question it, you will know that you are worthy.  Most people spend too long reaching out to people because of fear of rejection. Often it means it’s just not the right fit or the right time. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. Most people give up after the 2nd or 3rd follow-up. If you keep going, people eventually cave. A confident person is simply willing to be rejected, and to them, it’s no big deal.    Lisa Buyer - Social Media Platforms With Traction We had a great chat with Lisa from PR Secrets on using social media for branding and PR purposes. She covers a host of topics such as newsjacking, chatbots, futurists, SEO, visual reporting, podcasting, and what’s new in putting together a press release.  One of the things we discussed was the latest platforms that have traction. For example, if you are featured in a third-party publication, you can take that article and put it on Facebook and run ads to it targeting people who work at other media publications. It’s a win-win, as the journalist is getting more exposure, and you are getting that third-party credibility, so it’s a smart modern day PR strategy. You can target the publication’s following and run $1 a day ads, as taught by Dennis Hu. You can also take that targeting strategy to other platforms.  Tik Tok is the most talked about social media platform lately, and while Lisa doesn't  have any clients where it’s a good match, from a storytelling standpoint it’s entertaining. From a PR perspective, instead of having her clients start an account, they are looking to share content to the influencer’s audience where the influencer would talk about the brand and create content around a theme. One cool thing about Tik Tok is there are so many cool filters and ways to create videos that are very creative, then take those videos and republish it to your main social channels.    Felicia Pagesh - Campaign Tactics  We had a great chat with Felicia Pagesh of Activate Branding, who dove into fun topics such as conversion optimizations, webinars, landing pages, and other useful techie talks. One tip she gave us is that when you are building out your campaign, you should already know what the objections are that people have. That is what’s included in your sales sequence to overcome those objections. Everything in your webinar should also be designed to overcome those objections, so instead of creating separate FAQs as part of your follow-up, you can pop that transcription sequence into your follow-up for anyone who matches the behavior of someone who is interested but hasn’t bought yet.  Also, give people an option to download an mp4 into an mp3 to listen to your webinar. If you have an audible call to action, keep your URL very simple and easy to follow. As long as it’s trackable, it’s worth testing. It doesn't really cost much more time or money to repurpose and it’s like getting free sales.   Erin Pheil - Fixing Your Mind Erin Pheil from MindFix Group chatted with us all about fixing your mind and getting past those mental roadblocks that get you stuck. You can deal with perfectionism by being compassionate with yourself. You will be able to clear out that pattern so you don’t have to deal with it on a constant basis. A pattern can be emotional or behavioral. For example, we may be triggered into getting angry when someone gives us feedback or we may get anxious whenever we are on camera. Other people may have behavioral patterns like every time it’s time to talk about money, you change the subject. We have these different behaviors and emotions we get stuck in over and over, and if you can identify the pattern, you can work backward and clear it out once you know what it is and what you want to change. Once you do that, it clears up so much energy, space, and time in your life. At the core, humans behave according to what they believe to be true. So if you are walking down the street and see a cat and you believe they are dangerous, you will avoid it. But if you believe cats are awesome, you’ll go over to pet it. When you have a pattern, you take a fundamental truth that humans act based on what they believe to be true. If you're acting or experiencing feelings in a certain way, you believe something that's keeping you looped in there.    Gabby Bernstein - How To Detach We chatted with Gabby Bernstein, author of Super Attractor who gave us some very practical tools to work through some tough stuff that we are all going through in our personal lives. She also talked about what she refers to as her “Rage on the Page” method and the benefits of listening to a specific playlist while writing. Gabby has been practicing with a method based on Dr. John Sarno’s work, who was known for healing back pain, and whose work was based on the fact that our physical pain is a manifestation of our impermissible rage and there is a mind-body prescription to heal that. Gabby has renamed a similar prescription given to her by a friend that deals with journaling, calling it “rage on the page”.  The basis of this is that you journal about the rage for 20 minutes. Even if you don’t think you have rage, it could be as simple as thinking “Why did I eat that bad thing this morning?” Next, meditate for 20 minutes. Gabby also puts on bi-lateral music. She practices a therapeutic method called EMDR, and this is similar to stimulating to each side of the brain. When you start to stimulate the bilateral brain functioning, it allows the resource part of your brain to access some of the information stored hidden and in many ways to see. It allows your brain to unpack what has been hidden.    Kim Krause Schwalm - Copywriter Hiring Tips Kim Krause Schwalm joined us on the show and gave us a boatload of awesome strategies and insight from her long copywriting career. When hiring a copywriter, look at their writing and their portfolio and see if they are passionate, curious, and put hard work into the promo. If you are not well versed in copywriters and are reading a sample and you can see if the headline grabs you (read it at night when you are tired) and makes you want to read further.   Sometimes it’s hard to write your own copy and one thing you can do is to ask someone to give you a critique. If you like what they say, maybe that’s the person you want to hire. That’s one way to see how they work as well. As for communication falling off, the question is how are you paying them? Sometimes if you go back and forth on price, then you probably don’t want to work with them. It often comes down to whether you are getting what you pay for, and you still want to make sure you are getting a good value as it can be a big investment. Have a fair deal and pay them 25-50% upfront. You could have a phase where you have different steps that allow you to move along to minimize some of the risks, plus they will have some built-in milestones they have to meet. Most professional copywriters will agree to a schedule upfront so everyone is on the same page.    Laura Gale - Getting Your Book Published Laura Gale, author, and fellow podcaster joined to talk all about the step-by-step method she uses to guide people to finally get that book published. People discount their own stories as not being compelling all the time. There’s a lot of interesting things in the day-to-day to give people a peek behind the scenes. If you can pinpoint something to one specific moment where something surprised you, or it was unexpected, then those are the moments that are really interesting. Story structure has become a bit of an obsession and people are overthinking it. While the hero’s journey is great, it can take a lot out of it and not every story is going to fit that structure. The more you can rely on emotion and specific moments, the stronger your story will be. For a long time ghostwriting was seen as cheating, but if you are an entrepreneur you want to have other people taking care of the stuff you are not best at, and writing is a skill that takes a lot of time to get good at. The idea that it’s not really your book if you didn’t write it yourself doesn’t ring true. When Laura puts it together, it’s all their voice and all of the material and style is generated by the client. She is more of a vessel to get that story published. Most celebrities who have ever written a book are almost always ghostwritten.    Melanie Benson - How To Spice Up Your Topic If It Is Less Than Exciting On our episode with Melanie Benson, she gave us some great tips on how to follow the ‘golden thread’ to pull the right audience into your world, what to do if you are just starting out in your podcasting journey and how to define your audience and make sure they are a good fit for your business. One way is to think of a formula that connects back to your work (not the Smart Goal formula which is way overused). Melanie created a formula called the ROCS Method: R - Relevant O - Outcome Driven C - Credibility Boosting - people often miss this but try to include it in your intro. Talk about case studies or client successes so people pay attention. Keep it natural, don’t be a name-dropper. S - Specific, find a way to put specificity in it, i.e. can you do it in 90 days? Is it a 4 part formula? If your message isn’t converting, chances are something in this formula is wrong.   References and Links Mentioned: Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

We have Dan Norris on the show today, and he’s someone who has accomplished quite a lot, with a somewhat different approach to marketing. He focuses on four core pillars: branding, community, storytelling, and content marketing. In this episode, we do a deep dive into all four of those. After founding WP Curve, which was subsequently sold to GoDaddy, Dan started a new venture, Black Hops Brewing in Australia. You’ll hear Dan discuss how he has created one of the biggest and well-known brands in his country (voted the #1`craft brewery in Australia), all with basically no ad spend.  There’s a similar thread in the way he’s marketed both his WP Curve brand and his craft beer brand, and it all comes down to his concept of Compound Marketing, which is also the basis behind his new book. When you’re done, check out our conversation with Lisa Cherney for more content strategies and how to be real to your audience even if that means being putting off others, and get some advice from Anthony Constantino, who also runs a super fun company that really resonates with his customers. “It helps to take this approach where you’ve got these things compounding behind the scenes without you necessarily having to do a whole lot. I see our competitors buying billboards and doing paid ads and I’m glad we don’t have to do all that.” - Dan Norris   Some Topics We Discussed Include: Taking a bath in beer? (it does wonders for your hair) How to promote a unique beer so that it sells out Why too much advertising can actually a bad thing Drink Dan’s brew and tag us and Dan!

Today’s episode with Julie Adams is a real mind bender and we love that Julie has a thriving affiliate business, while also keeping it simple. We talk about her goals of retiring early and she dissects her entire business model as she’s an open book. Julie’s business model is so tactical and you’ll be able to take her way of thinking and apply even parts of it to your own business. She just wants to make sure she is showing up on Google without worrying about Facebook ads or even email lists.

Listen in as you’ll hear all about her paid challenges she holds where she’s walking people through these bite-sized chunks of content that leads them to a graduation event, which turns into a high ticket paid offer.

Today we are talking with John Warrillow, who has written three books -  Built To Sell, The Automatic Customer, and The Art Of Selling Your Business. These books cover the basics of how to design your company so that it can be sold in the future, generating revenue from your business, and how to finally make that exit happen. During our chat today, we talked about how to set up your business, why you want to have recurring payments as opposed to a lifetime offer, and how to build a business to potentially scale and exit if it’s built on the back of an influencer or personal brands.  We cover a lot of ground in this episode and this is a great conversation for our listeners as a lot of folks are building fan bases, thinking about the marketing side of it, and building traffic to them. This is a great conversation to consider what makes up the value of your business, regardless of whether you are going to sell or not. When you’re done get some more advice about selling and acquiring businesses from our conversations with Carl Allen and Dan & Joe Kalis. “You should focus on branding products in your overall business. So there’s this concept of service providers, coaches and consultants productizing, and it’s the process of making your service look like a thing, ideally making it run as its own entity on an automatic or recurring revenue cycle.” - John Warrillow Some Topics We Discussed Include: Who else wants a “sailboat business”? (putting your feet up while enjoying the view and people are sending you checks) Dissecting how Elon Musk runs his business Best tactics if you are a digital marketer Building a brand into your business so you can eventually walk away What’s a trojan horse got to do with your marketing?

Marx Acosta-Rubio joins us today for yet another episode and he’s probably the smartest guy we know when it comes to doubling your income and increasing your revenue while also taking more time off to do the fun stuff. We go very deep as always, as he lists out all these amazing tools and principles, such as the Hawthorne Effect, the Getting Things Done principle, the 80/20 rule, the Vital Three, and many more. Then, because he’s read so many books, he’s distilling information from these foundational books and wraps them up into a process that you can apply to your business and your life. The goal here is to double your income to yourself while also doubling your time off. Even though this is counter-intuitive, the more you contain your work time, and plan for trips and/or fun stuff, that’s going to allow you to focus on the core things you need to get done to achieve what you want to achieve. We cover six specific principles in this episode that you can apply, and you’ll see how when you tie them all together, it’s both possible and something special. After you’ve listened, be sure to check out our conversations with Dr. Steve Ruden and David Allen for more information on havening and how to change your habits to get things done. “That’s one of the tricks and how we do that is when the only thing on your mind is the only thing on your mind, and you are aware of that, then time slows down.” - Marx Acosta-Rubio Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to slow the day time so you can put a week’s worth of experiences in a day Wise lessons from Bruce Lee The 3 laws that need to be invoked to really move the needle How to get yourself out of your business plateau The Power of Three A walkthrough of Marx’ day and the keys elements to starting off your morning right  The $1,000 a day question we ask Putting Parkinson’s law into play as you work The three steps for delegation and which one to use when Really thinking about the love strategies for those close to you Dealing with more dangers and more opportunities ahead Resources From Marx Acosta-Rubio: You can reach out to Marx at: MarxAR@Me.com  References and Links Mentioned: Unreasonable Success by Richard Koch Getting Things Done by David Allen Wim Hof breathing method Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

We are hanging out with Rand Fishkin today, who previously co-founded the SEO company MOZ, and has most recently started a new venture with SparkToro. This tool is quickly becoming one of our favorite pieces of software to do a lot of research. It helps us figure out what content to create around specific topics, what topics resonate around audiences, and you can literally plug in your URL or social media channel and it will kick out all this research from a variety of platforms.    If you are running ads, you are probably noticing lately higher costs, fewer options, and lower conversions. We break a lot of that down from Rand’s perspective and you’ll see why it’s important to diversify from Facebook and Google if you are solely relying on those platforms. You’ll also hear us talk about what’s in store for the future with the way Google presents search results, and what you should be doing to rely less on links while building up your brand. After you listen, get some more advertising tips with Curt Maly and Tom Breeze.  “The primary goal is to get people to your website and your email list because that’s the one channel you always get to own and control.” - Rand Fishkin Some Topics We Discussed Include: Perspectives on the zero clicks search problem  Checking out the Crack Shack (it’s not what you think!)

Salome Schillack from ShineAndSucceed.com joins us today and today we are chatting all about using Facebook ads to not only grow an audience but to grow podcasts. We like her approach because it doesn’t take a huge budget to make it happen, and she gives some great targets and metrics to look out for with your campaign. Salome also talks about the concept of getting engagement and why you don’t need to run ads with a call to action every single time. Even with your existing audience, you probably don’t need to be running ads to constantly telling them to do something and screaming for their attention.    We also talk about the top of funnel and we’ve never used ads in the flow that she talks about, but she broke down some cool things that we plan on testing. She also talks about the distinction between landing view pages and clicks. That’s why we love her approach which is to just give them something to love and/or laugh at. We also talk about front-loading your ad accounts in Facebook’s eye which ultimately leads to a better algorithm and lower ad costs in the end. When you are done, be sure to check out our chats with Ryan Levesque where he goes into depth about using quiz funnels for your Facebook ads and as well as our show with Curt Maly for more strategies on how to grow your brand without breaking the bank.   “The first clue as to what is good engagement content is to look at what has done well on your social feeds, look at what people have already connected with, what’s gotten people to comment, share and what is already triggering an emotion for people.” - Salome Schillack Some Topics We Discussed Include: Who knew that Joey from Friends had a social media strategy?  Facebook ad account secrets? Shhhhh What to do if you have no audience yet and want to run your first Facebook ad How to revive an older Facebook or Instagram account whose engagement has dropped How to use quizzes in your funnels Growing your podcast audience with Facebook ads The sweet spot for ad costs  Examples of ad content to use for multiple purposes Facebook quizzes that are tanking?

We always love chatting with Pat Flynn, and in this episode, we discuss how to build super fans in your business, how to grow an audience ethically, how to promote affiliate offers to your audience and make good money through affiliate marketing in a very ethical way that makes customers actually thank you for doing it. Pat also discusses how he has been able to build a successful building with a great, appreciative audience without the need to run a ton of ads and self-admittedly not having the best SEO on his website as well. We also talk to Pat about how he got involved in some of the deals he has equity in. He’s not just an affiliate for products such as ConvertKit, Lead Pages, Teachable and Samcart, he’s also an advisor and gets some sort of revenue share. So we dive into how he has been able to leverage his podcast to then get involved in these equity and advisory deals. When you have listened, be sure to check out our previous chat with Pat and our conversation with Lisa Cherney for more insight on how to give insane value while being real to your audience. “With affiliate marketing, it’s the easiest way of starting to generate an income because these products already exist, people out there are already buying them, you just have to be the person that people trust to make that recommendation to them.” - Pat Flynn Some Topics We Discussed Include: “Fannels” and how to ramp yours up (and no, we are not talking about soft pajamas!) The amazing result you can get in under three years which will set you up for success How Pat pivoted during the last time we had an economic downturn which changed his life forever How to get great fan engagement and healthier all at once!

He has a lot of experience and knows what to do with traffic having done this for legends in the marketing space for years. On today’s show, we are chatting about how to get engagement on LinkedIn and get real people to listen to you. We are diving back into LinkedIn lately ourselves, and on this show, you’ll hear why that is, and get some real a-ha moments as we did.

When you’re done be sure to check out our conversations with Will Wang and Josh Turner for more insight into how to leverage LinkedIn to improve your business relationships, how to grow a following organically, and how to use LinkedIn groups.  “There’s no B2B or B2C, there’s only H2H - Human to Human.” - Joshua B.

On today’s show we nerd out on a tool we have been using lately in a small way, but there’s a lot of potential with it for so many reasons. This episode is not just about the tool though, it’s all about the opportunities around you, how to do well as an affiliate, and other awesome concepts you will learn from Jordan Mederich, the man behind DropFunnels, one of the fastest-growing marketing tools on the market today. You’ll hear how he’s doing things differently and has carved his own way of solving a solution that no one else has done.  As most of you know, Matt is the go-to guy when it comes to tools, and has tested so many over the years, so when he heard about DropFunnels he set it up on his own site, MattWolfe.com. As far as page builders, it’s been the easiest for dialing in the look you want, from any of the other ones so far. Besides talking about the tool’s features, we talk about affiliate marketing, trends in business, how to scale and do it in an effective way. After the show, make sure to listen to our previous episodes with Taylor Welch and Ryan Levesque, which will give you even more insight on mindset, and how to use funnels to grow your business and use entry-level products in your funnel to drive higher ticket sales. “I realized that anyone selling anything, it doesn’t matter if it’s your product or if it’s an affiliate product, often affiliates sell it better than the person itself.” - Jordan Mederich Some Topics We Discussed Include: Shooting green screen videos in a closet - can you relate? When you realize what you are doing is not the right path for you What do you get when you mix chocolate and broccoli in your business?

Today’s show is a full-circle moment for us because way back in 2009 one of the first marketing products we bought was the GKIC membership and we learned there were local chapters. We went to the San Diego meeting which brought us into the GKIC world which was the foundation of our marketing education. Bill Glazer, who founded GKIC along with legendary marketer Dan Kennedy joins us on the show today, along with Rob Cuesta, CEO, and Founder of Bright Flame Books.

On today’s show, we are chatting with Geoff Woods who is the Vice President of The ONE Thing and host of The ONE Thing podcast. After hearing a quote by Jim Rohn that "you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with" Geoff set out on a mission to surround himself with high-level CEOs and successful entrepreneurs. Fast forward, Geoff went from employee to entrepreneur, launching a company with the co-authors of the best selling book The ONE Thing. This book is one of those reads where you read it once, make some things, and overtime as the changes drift a little bit, then you can re-read this book to reset. Geoff dives into how to structure your day in order to get to that ideal 20% of working with your priorities to get 80% of your results. You’ll see how this works as he details an example with Joe, asking specific questions in order to narrow in on that one important thing. We also talk about how to get your team to be aligned with your goals, especially if you are working virtually, how to set your core priorities, and how to figure out what that “first domino” is to make the remainder of your priorities to fall into place easily. If you like some of what Geoff has to say, be sure to check out our conversations with Ken Coleman and Nic Peterson with more insight about taking aligned action to reach your goals faster without sacrificing. “I was where a lot of people either have been or are right now, which is life is good and you are lacking fulfillment. I remember feeling like I was destined for more and I know that I’m meant to do bigger things for this world. ” - Geoff Woods Some Topics We Discussed Include: Time blocking and mind containers to get to peak productivity  This one golden tip to get you to transition away from work easier Going from a full-time job to creating a better life by making a huge impact on the world Tuning into 20% of your priorities to get 80% of your results Our plan to go on a couples retreat with each other?!

He’s got a whole brand but if visit Growth Now Movement, he’s got his podcast as well as his virtual events, one of which we are speaking at.

Anthony Trucks was placed in the foster care system at a young age and grew up not having a good sense of his own identity. On today’s show, you’ll hear how he finally ended up in a home as the only black person in an all-white family, and how he overcame his challenges and setting some big goals which led to him being awarded a scholarship to play at the University of Oregon. From there he did some amazing things from playing in the NFL to appearing on the American Ninja Warrior TV show.  Anthony had some huge ups and downs (almost going bankrupt after opening up his own gym) and realized that success only happens when who you are to your core, your identity, aligns with your life’s vision. It’s through his own struggles and triumphs that he now coaches others to get through their own identity shift in order to create the life that they deserve. He dives into his methods and the importance of knowing your identity first, even before you work on your mindset. After you have listened, we have some great shows from our vault you should check out, including our show with Christine McDannell and Jon Margalit that deals with mindset, chatting with billionaires, and getting valuable feedback to make better business decisions.  “When you put time into something, and it’s no longer something you can do, whether it’s a kid doing to college, leaving the military, someone passing away, the relationship falls apart, whatever it might be...you’ve given it all and you can’t do it anymore, it breaks you and you don’t even know who you are. I didn’t even know who I was without football.” - Anthony Trucks Some Topics We Discussed Include: You are the tree, not the fruit - and other wise words  The importance of knowing your identity Shining a light on your dark moments and how one very dark period in Anthony’s life almost pushed him over the edge  How Anthony got onto the Ninja Warrior show and impressed the hosts Matt’s reminisces of being a nervous interviewer way back in the day (hard to believe!)

Alex Charfen joins us today and like many in the past, we were pleasantly surprised at the topics that came up. First, we chat about Alex’s backstory and how he was able to turn his life and business completely around after the housing crisis in 2007. He was able to take his knowledge and create a brand new business helping others get through some very difficult years, and this business gained momentum so quickly that he became a top advisor to government officials while also making it onto the Inc. 500 list a mere four years later. This is a great, timely chat about creating something helpful and important, out of a crisis such as the one we’ve dealt with this year.  We also have a great conversation about Alex’s struggles, his successes with a specific kind of therapy, the importance of being vulnerable, and how, if you find yourself judging other people or situations (which of course, we all do from time to time) the best way to turn this around to actually fix how you feel about yourself. Once you’ve listened, be sure to check our shows with Lisa Cherney and Perry Marshall where we talk about how to succeed in today’s challenging climate as well as dealing with self-sabotage. “If you're thinking maintain, you're out of the game already. The mantra in a crisis is, ‘I can grow in this crisis, I can succeed in this crisis, I can help people in this crisis, and I can make a huge impact in this crisis.” - Alex Charfen Some Topics We Discussed Include: The most important thing to do when the world is in crisis How Alex went from being bankrupt to getting to #21 on the Inc. 500 list only 4 years later The benefits of showing your vulnerable side and exposing your weaknesses The three awakenings of the entrepreneurial type - do you have them?

We had an amazing conversation on today’s show with Tom Sylvester, who basically had a mission to retire by the age of 35 (and he did it by age 32!). There’s a lot of talk about what goes on both in goal achievement and what happens after you achieve those goals. The first half of this conversation is all about systemizing, and how to figure out what to systemize, clearing out the bottlenecks in your business, and how to basically back yourself out of your business so that it can run without you.  In the second half of our conversation, we discuss what life is like once your business is systemized and how to deal with the new challenges that pop up once you do not need to focus on your business as much. It’s an interesting roadmap for sure, and that’s where we both got lit up, as we talked about the issues that arise about what you do with your life moving ahead. After listening, go check out our conversations with James Altucher and Austin Sams for more insight into how to dial it in to set up your life and your business on your own terms. “That was how I built everything...if I could just get the businesses and the income to exceed the expenses, I can pretty much not have to worry about working, and have everything covered.” - Tom Sylvester Some Topics We Discussed Include: The blessing and the curse of having a podcast How to own your day so you get the most impactful things done first Why meditating will actually help you get more done How to do a time audit for you and your business to find out where the bottlenecks are The importance of weekly reviews and acknowledging your wins How to revamp your home office to get you more focused and dialed in Shifting your mind state through journaling Variations on gratitude practices Details of The 2X Formula And much, much more!

You have heard it a million times before - everyone has a book in them, and we are sure you do as well.

On today’s show, this is going to be an epic master class with two of the most brilliant minds we know, Jay Abraham and Rich Schefren. Jay and Rich go way back, having known each other for close to twenty years. In today’s economy, this will be the most valuable information that any business owner can take and actually use, to make money and turn things.   Both Rich and Jay give their insights around a host of opportunities in today’s world to help people and businesses leverage their existing assets in such a way that will benefit them and you as the deal maker. There are also some great examples of folks who knew where to look and find opportunities that others were missing and basically created arbitrage situations that led to passive income for years to come. We know your mind will be reeling with possibilities after listening, and when you are done you will want to listen to our previous episodes where we chatted with Dana Robinson and Markian Sich on how they are able to create passive income as well with real estate investing and online businesses. “This is the time where there is so much opportunity, and the reason is there is so much opportunity is because during times of tremendous uncertainty as well as some form of recession, what happens is there are many businesses who are a lot less active than before, and that leaves a lot of their assets dormant...which makes them a lot more receptive to other ideas and possibilities. ” - Rich Schefren “Right now there are 5 or 6 windows of screaming opportunities that are starting to close..first one if there will never be a time in the history of entrepreneurship where more business owners and professionals are open to doing deals, collaborating, joint venturing, profit partnering, letting you sell things to their audience....that’s one thing. ” - Jay Abraham Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to think like Tom Sawyer How to see and seize opportunities to be the toll booth/money taker Putting the Pareto principle and Venn diagrams into play Examples of ways to help businesses right now which will benefit you for years to come (even if you do not have any capital to start with) The real reason Jay stopped selling his courses Examples of prosperity pathways and how to identify where opportunities exist And much, much more!

You need someone in your corner that is watching your back, seeing everything that is happening in real-time, to identify the problems you don’t see that you can avoid and the opportunities that you don’t know about that you need to seize to be able to create your best legacy.” - Jeff Spencer Some Topics We Discussed Include: How Jeff became an Olympic athlete after setting his sights on that goal at the young age of seven The story of a much loved, lost t-shirt and how it was reunited with its owner The importance of ‘gocus’ - and not, it’s something you dip tortilla chips in How to find the right goal for you The details behind the awesome goal achievement roadmap and why you do not want to miss any steps along the way Backstories of how Jeff got to work with folks like Dave Asprey and Lance Armstrong to get their goals achieved What to do to avoid blindsides and other things to make you go off track And much, much more!

On today’s special Australian double header show, we’ve actually got two interviews from live streams we held earlier this year.  First up is James Schramko, who is a great friend and has been on the show quite a few times already. He talks about the basic foundational strategies that he uses in his business (which is also similar to our own business because we’ve modeled what he does), how he has been able to maintain great customer relationships over the years with the same membership site, and his thoughts and ideas on keys to building trust and what to do if you are just starting out. Our second guest is Stephen Esketzis who we have modeled as well, with our affiliate blog posts. He was ClickFunnels #1 affiliate for a long time and he’s another one who we had on the show previously. Stephen has some newer updates, tools, and lots of good content marketing affiliate strategies and we also talk about developing some tools for affiliate marketing as well. We also dive into his cool method of using a quiz to create the perfect funnel for your business, and by taking a few extra steps that most marketers do not, has propelled his business by far. Affiliate marketing is a topic that is one of the three foundational things we like to chat about, and it’s also a topic that people are looking for with examples on how to do it in their own business. James is building a platform, with a podcast, email lists, and a community, while Steven takes more of the blogging, customer journey, and SEO route. You can combine them and take pieces of each model as we did, which is what our business is about now. After you have listened, be sure to check out our shows with Larry Ludwig and Matt McWilliams for more tips on how to set your affiliate marketing goals right.  “When someone already has a database and they already know what products sell, just sticking them in front of their customers on the most highly visited page on their website is a really good idea.” - James Schramko “Now more and more people are switching to writing better quality reviews and content because it’s getting more competitive and you need to improve your content game if you want to become a better affiliate. The more value you provide, you get repaid for it in the long run.” - Stephen Esketzis Some Topics We Discussed Include: Tips if you are just starting out James’ least favorite business and why he’s working his way through it currently How to go above and beyond to stand out beyond the rest of affiliates Why James had a Skype button on his site in the early days How Stephen set up his super cool quiz funnel to get dialed in leads  An idea for an affiliate site that is a lot of work but will lead to great rewards How Stephen basically gets tons of software for free Stephen’s early days of working with ClickFunnels and earning the title of top affiliate And much, much more!

From being homeless to becoming a formidable strongman to switching gears to a successful business entrepreneur, you’ll really enjoy today’s show with Nic Peterson. We dive into his interesting past, how he’s been able to use his method of zero loss aversion to starting a host of various businesses, and how he’s partnered with some brilliant minds to not only better himself, but showcase his improvement to others and turning it into a well-known fitness and nutrition business.  He also talks about the gym he started where he went from actually living in the warehouse-like building to transforming it into one of the biggest, highest priced gyms in the area, catering to high-end clients. In addition to all the companies he runs which include a specific type of mastermind, he chats about how he’s able to do it all, setting priorities correctly, and how you too can zone in to reach your goals as quickly as possible. If you like some of what Nic has to say, be sure to check out these past episodes with Dan Kuschell and Marx Acosta-Rubio that really hit home about taking aligned action to become the protagonist in your own life story.  “You may have priorities that are diametrically opposed. You have to pick one, then attack the other one. A lot of people want to have as much money right now as possible but they also want to have as many followers as possible, so you have to pick one. Make a bunch of money, then pay for followers or get a bunch of followers then make money from them. You’re not going to go anywhere if you are trying to maximize both at the same time.” - Nic Peterson Some Topics We Discussed Include: How Nic went from homeless to making $100k with his mastermind Getting out of your slump with projects that don’t excite you Attracting high-end clients by saying the right words From powerlifting to losing weight and the birth of a nutrition company How to set your priorities to determine which one should come first Why not to name the puppy at the shelter - don’t even think about it!

We are stoked to have Steven Kotler on today’s show as this is one of those episodes we are super curious as to what he’s doing and wanted to dive into the massive body of work he’s done. Most of Steven’s work deals with flow and peak performance as well as converging technologies and futurism. He also does a lot of work with Peter Diamandis and has a new book co-authored with Peter, called The Future Is Faster Than You Think. This book is part of their trilogy of books and will show how you can combine these exponential technologies and systems and stack them. He also dives into why flying cars, blockchain, and other cool things like that are changing at a super rapid pace. We even talk about how this all relates to COVID as well as some actual benefits of the current situation we find ourselves in.   This is a fly on the wall conversation talking about futurism, how to get into flow, whether you can get into flow synthetically, and how to change our brain’s default from thinking negatively.  We also discuss your primary and secondary activities, which one you should focus on for fun and for work, plus Steven even told us which country is leading the charge in drone technology (and it’s not from where you think). We know you are going to love this show as much as we did, and when you are done be sure to check out our episodes with Craig Ballantyne and Dave Asprey for more discussion on living a high performing life. “When you are talking about peak performance, there’s no such thing as a hack. There’s only one thing - there’s getting your biology to work for you rather than against you.” - Steven Kotler  Some Topics We Discussed Include: Which country now leads the world in drone technology? What’s cool with COVID The hippie speedball recipe for a quick boost Your primary and secondary activities and which you should use for work Ways to tell if you are in flow What the future holds for the middle class The faster way that we know of, to calm yourself down Everything you ever wanted to learn about rocket science in just one sentence And much, much more!

Today we are chatting with David Jenyns from Systemology who not only has an awesome voice but is a lot of fun to talk to. We dive into David’s history and how he was able to take an idea from a well-known book and have a unique success story with his own similar venture. We also chat all about his methods of systemizing his own businesses over the years, the benefits of bringing systems into a business, how to approach it with a simple checklist if you are just starting out, and how to hire someone to assist you in the process, if need be. David also gives us a great backstory of how he got the opportunity to work with a famous author, which in turn led to a boatload of other opportunities, all of which would never have happened if he did not have his own working systems in place. If the thought of becoming more efficient so you can get more time back is appealing, check out our shows where we chatted with Aaron Fletcher and Christine McDannell for more insight on systemizing your business. “All the business owners do think that systems are important, it’s just never urgent. The biggest question I always get is ‘Yes, but where do I start? Where’s the system to systemizing my business? What’s the first 10-15 types of systems that I start with?’ It’s those types of questions that I want to address” - David Jenyns Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to define the “Critical Client Flow” for your business A thought process for building systems if you are considering an exit strategy Why sometimes it’s okay to let others in your organization set the tone What happened when David sold Australia’s most loved sporting ground David’s unique twist on podcasting The absolute worst person for creating systems in your business  How to discover your team’s yin to your yang And much, much more!

Zachary Babcock is definitely an interesting dude, and he’s got a supercharged, truth bomb podcast called Underdog Empowerment.

We have a special show today that we planned with two of our business partners - Roland Frasier & Oliver Schmalholz. We are talking about a new endeavor that we are involved in and thought it would be really cool to share, so our listeners can hear what we’ve been up to.  It’s a new entity called Unicorn Equity, and we are working with Roland and Oliver in this new company, who are two of the most brilliant minds we know. Roland is a dealmaker extraordinaire, and he’s been doing all these online challenges where people are learning about all the different interesting deal structures he's doing to buy and sell businesses and to get a majority stakeholder ownership of the businesses so he can direct it. Then we have Oliver on the call, who is also a dealmaker plus a tech wizard and has figured out how how to build out this platform. Unicorn Equity gives us the ability to build a long term portfolio of asset companies, that we really like, as affiliate marketers. We don’t have to change anything, we are just earning into a company where we can pick and choose how much cash or how much equity we want to earn per sale. On the other hand, there are SAAS founders and software companies who are looking for marketing help and they’re willing to invest a portion of equity in their ownership of their company in exchange for that with that ownership being deferred into the future.   You’re also going to hear about some creative deals that both Roland and Oliver have done as well as an epic challenge that Roland was working on that has gone really well. Plus you’ll hear an update as to what’s ahead for the next Traffic & Conversion Summit. We know you’ll enjoy our previous show with Roland too, where we discussed - ‘How To Scale Your Business By Acquiring Other Businesses’ and ‘A Step-By-Step System to Decide Which Opportunities To Pursue’.  “That's been a theme throughout my entrepreneurial career - to focus on subscription products, where you only have to make a sales effort once….then also leverage distribution channels on a success fee basis, only.” - Oliver Schmalholz “I drove million roughly $1,300,000 in revenue to that over a six-day period as an affiliate and as the number one affiliate broke records and made several hundred thousand dollars and immediately realized that all I had done was built someone else's brand. While I liked getting the commission money it didn't make sense as a business model for me because I wanted to build wealth and the affiliate model as it is currently engineered is really a short term model.” - Roland Frasier  Some Topics We Discussed Include: What to expect at the next Traffic & Conversion Summit later in the year How the four of us got together to bring this to fruition Working with fellow affiliates for the best interest of all, not as competitors Previous deals with Roland and Oliver have worked on Requirements for SAAS companies with Unicorn Diversifying your risk for long term growth and revenue All the benefits of working with high performing marketers that business may have not yet realized Different ways of earning cash as an affiliate with this model How you can be an affiliate too, even if you’ve never sold anything before Resources From Roland Frasier & Oliver Schmalholz: UnicornEquity.io Business Lunch Podcast with Oliver Schmalholz References and Links Mentioned: EPIC challenge UnicornEquity.io - sign up here to become an affiliate Traffic & Conversion Summit Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!

John Ruhlin, from Giftology, is on the show today and he is absolutely amazing when it comes to gifting with the right amount of thoughtfulness and meaning. There’s been a paradigm shift in marketing recently, so the idea of gift-giving is very timely and John has a knack for staying top of mind, and growing relationships and referrals all through the art of gift-giving.  John works with some big companies and agencies and he discusses his process as to how to figure out what your intention is, what your strategy is, who to send the gift to, and what your budget should be. We go deep into how to pick the right gift, how much money to spend, what to do if you are just starting out and we also talk about how the power of gifting comes back to you as well as how to justify the cost to determine your ROR - return on relationships. We even talk about how to gift better to your spouse or significant other. At the end of the day, John wants people to show gratitude with action and not just lip service as this is something that can generate business and referrals with an impact that can last a long time. After you’ve listened, check out our shows that we recorded with Jordan Harbinger and Omari Broussard for more tips on relationship building and reaching out to the right audience for your business. “If you take care of the family in business, everything else takes care of it itself.” - John Ruhlin Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to work with your budget if you are just starting out  Making sure you carve out time for gift giving (pun intended) How John got the attention of Jeffrey Gitomer Lessons learned from your girlfriend’s father How to surprise your wife or significant other with a gift that really makes an impact The 80/20 rule of proper budgeting for your gift-giving Why you want to avoid the “book launch” style of gifts Ideas to make your gifts even more memorable so that their kids will be fighting over it for generations to come And much, much more!

Today’s show was such a fascinating conversation that we already have plans to bring Will back. This is a content-packed show where we talk about how cannabis is grown, how much use is possible with this, and how Will is spearheading this entire ripple effect using the cannabis plant. He is probably the most knowledgeable person we've ever talked to on the topic of cannabis and he has a storefront and experience center with massage, acupuncture, and a terpene mood lounge where they can custom curate where the cannabinoids go in the body. They also manufacture in Nevada and have a genetics farm in Oregon where they've developed a catalog of over 500 unique strains. Will has literally been studying this stuff for a long time and has connected with investors in Silicon Valley, in order to create an insane amount of patents for the usage of cannabis. He's working with craft beer companies, companies that make jets and batteries as well as some big companies in Canada. We also discuss the impact of farming and folks with PTSD. Will holds the patents on most of these items and he’s thinking five minutes ahead of everyone else. If you've ever been curious about what's capable with cannabis plants, how they're grown, the science behind it, and what they're actually doing in your body when you take them, then there are so many little nuggets of wisdom in this thing. We also talk about how to get rid of the high if you don’t want it anymore, almost instantly. When you are done, be sure to check out our shows with Theo Lucier and Joe Cohen for more insight into biohacking for better health and productivity. “I just had this funny intuition that they were somehow going to be important. And it turns out with cannabis, it's a very unique plant in that it’s the most diverse terpene producing plant. So you can have one that smells like citrus, another one that smells like diesel engine and another one for pine.” - Will Kleidon Some Topics We Discussed Include: How soldiers 100 years ago carried ganja hashish candies in their pockets - on purpose The benefits of flow engagement and how to hack your way into a flow state Terpenes, gamma rays, and endocannabinoid system optimization (trust us - it’s fascinating!) How to determine if you are more effective at producing cannabinoids naturally A look at the history of oxidative stress in society over the years The importance of being intimately interconnected with our ecosystem When cannabis was known as a “treasure herb” Take too much THC? Will has the go-to on how to get you sober in just five minutes Why you definitely want to eat a restaurant with six or fewer menu items How to find your sweet spot and pinpoint an effective dose each day And much, much more!

George has worked with and co-owned so many big brands, such as Adidas and Onit, has been a New York Times best-selling author, and is basically someone who is getting it all done and after listening to this episode you’ll understand why.

If you did not already know this already, after to today’s show with Kim Krause Schwalm, you will definitely have the know-how to hire the best of the best copywriters, what to look for, how to compensate them in other ways so that you are creating a win-win partnership and how to structure deals with them. Kim has got an insane track record when it comes to copywriting and beating out a lot of the greats. She tells us the story of all the controls that were winning back in the day and how she beat out the best winning sales letter as a junior copywriter and broke the glass ceiling when she became the first female copywriter to ever get a Boardroom control. Even if you have some copywriting experience yourself, you know it’s not that easy to get the right person for the job, especially as sometimes we think no one will write the copy as well as us, especially in our voice.  This show changed our thinking regarding hiring a copywriter, especially with the variety of ways to partner with someone who can support you over the long term. As business owners, we have enough things to do, so it makes sense and even though there’s a ton of value in learning copy yourself, it’s probably not always the smartest move to write your own copy for your own products. We will likely bring Kim back for round two, in order to dive into some deeper principles with copywriting skills. She also gave us some amazing resources as well so check it out, and once you’re done be sure to give a listen to our shows with Anik Singal and Justin Goff for more copywriting tactics.  “It’s not so much you want to improve your copy, you want to improve your sales results. Whatever it is you are currently using is not getting it done.” - Kim Krause Schwalm Some Topics We Discussed Include: What to expect when hiring a copywriter Different ways you can price out the work for a win-win The beauty of some old school marketing techniques Why first is not always best  How to find someone who writes in your voice but still writes to convert What to do when your copywriter falls off the grid How and when to offer incentives, royalty deals, and flat fees Why you may want to consider hiring a copy chief And much, much more!

Today’s show with Joey Gilkey is an absolute masterclass of his process as to how he is selling mega contracts to all sorts of companies. Joey’s business deals with high ticket sales and he’s got a system, processes, and playbooks for everything in the business. At one point, there’s got to be 8-9 of his core processes that you will be able to swipe, and you’re going to learn how to be better at sales, retention, and prospecting no matter what model you are in.  There’s so much gold in this episode, that at one point we actually ran out of paper as we were taking so many notes ourselves. He also chats about why he focuses on retention, the 3 D’s for success, and how to dial in to find your ideal client. When you are done getting sales ideas from Joey, be sure to check out our shows with Steve Sims and Robert Stanley for additional ideas on how to get noticed and generating more leads for your business. “The way I look at pricing is, the bigger the problem you can solve for a very specific type of person, the more you can charge. What comes with expertise is typically money. Get really dialed in who you serve and you will see that you provide a bigger value which will give you more confidence to increase your prices.” - Joey Gilkey Some Topics We Discussed Include: How an old lunchbox led to a huge new client The hierarchy of the “Core Four” to get your agency to the highest level possible How to remove yourself from the connotation of sales being sleazy Tactics for prospecting your ideal clients How to get over the fear of charging what you are worth The Pipeline, Conversion & Economics model of growth Acquisition vs. retention and why Joey focuses on the latter And much, much more!

Tech gremlins aside, we finally got done with our awesome episode with today’s guest, Gabby Bernstein. It was a great conversation, and Gabby’s energy is amazing. We chat about her most recent book which is all about how to stay in that positivity mode. She has written a total of eight books and her latest book is called Super Attractor: Methods for Manifesting a Life Beyond Your Wildest Dreams. She’s a NY Times best-selling author who has worked with Oprah and Dr. Wayne Dyer and it was a massive honor to have her on the show. Gabby gave us some very practical tools to work through some tough stuff that we are all going through in our personal lives, especially now that we are in this new world.

We loved speaking with Susie Moore, who has such fun energy, and today we talk about her recently released book, called Stop Checking Your Likes. Susie also runs a media company and has been on Oprah and the Today Show. Listen in as she breaks down all these limiting beliefs that a lot of us carry around unknowingly, and has some very simple ideas on how to deal with that because it’s not serving you.  We talk about what it means to “stop checking your likes” as it's something that holds a lot of people back from growing their business since they are scared of what people might think of what they're doing, as the need for approval stops a lot of people from having those necessary conversations. We also touch on some PR strategies and some golden nuggets on how to get in touch with the right people in the media.

He is using the same mechanism across the board, and by listening to today’s show, you’ll have the opportunity to get it for free. You’ll also hear us doing this in a role play fashion with a real scenario that we had in our business recently.   In this episode, we discuss ways to have difficult conversations with people that we know we need to speak with and how to approach having them, where you may be anxious or worked up about it ahead of time.

We’re still in lockdown, but fear not, we still have our flow! Today we have a legend in our marketing space, Russell Brunson. Not only is he well known for his product on how to make a potato gun, but he is also the founder of ClickFunnels. He wrote Expert Secrets, Dotcom Secrets and today we are going to hone in on his latest book, Traffic Secrets. What we both love about this new book is it details the paradigm shifts that you need to go through to really understand traffic, and not just the ad networks but the business as a whole.

We’re back and today we are talking with Nigel Eccles, the co-founder, and CEO of FanDuel and now, in the same role with the app Flick. Listen in and you’ll hear us discuss how FanDuel originated, the differences between dealing with the government in the U.S. and Scotland and what the company went through when dealing with the legislature (to their mutual benefit). We also talk about how they were able to build traction and get the word out, especially to a targeted audience that is used to playing fantasy football within a specific time frame. We dive into Nigel’s latest venture, an app branded specifically to your community that allows you to talk directly with your audience and where you own the data.  We also talk about the benefits of dealing with venture capital and why you may actually not want to go that route, as well as monetization techniques for your content. When you’re done get more insight about building an amazing business with Robert Farrington and Ryan Levesque. “We said, what if we took that game and we made it faster, and we are going to have the game last a day. Then, we said you don't have to go and find a bunch of friends, you can actually play with anyone. And instead of just playing a ten-person league, paying $10 to win maybe $100, why don't you play in 100,000 person league where you can pay $10 and you can win a million dollars.” - Nigel Eccles Some Topics We Discussed Include: Why working with the government to set rules is actually a good thing The beauty of being able to play fantasy football after the season begins The right and way and the wrong way to approach venture capitalist funding  Yet another way podcasters can communicate with their audience and even monetize the show Who you should go to to get your idea validated  Going into a new venture without knowing all the ropes Why paid content is still attainable even in this wave of the “make everything free” internet and how to approach that with your audience And much, much more!
