So, he graduated as first of his class. He was focused. First couple of years in college was not fun but he knew what he wanted to do and where he wanted to be.
He later went to Wall Street and did some good work which allowed him to go to a really good grad school and it just gave the opportunity to do what he wanted to do.

John Ply sold his company Insight Beverages at multiple 9 figures.
Because, when he started his company with 1 employee, he had only one goal in mind: ‘Be the best, instead of being the biggest’, which they achieved. Every client of theirs told them that. All leading chains in the country bought from them because they’re the best.
But his beginnings were low.

He started his career as inventory controller but grew up become the president of the company all within 1 year. And he was just shy of 24 at the time.
When he started his own company, he made sure the employees were paid well and treated well. After the initial struggles, the company grew in leaps and bounds: 1.8 million a year to 4 million a year to 15 million a year to 33 million a year in sales.

“Did you allow some sort of concrete to set in to you, where then you became fixed and you been happy with you being fixed for so long?”

You see in the real world where we've got pavements and roadways and things that we drive on, when they start to rot, get some cracks because of a huge emergence of new people into the city, people expand these roadways because it doesn't make logistical sense anymore.
People take them down and expand them and make them better.
One of the most infamous corners in Las Vegas, the exit ramp of Tropicana and the I-15 in Las Vegas which has been here since ages is going through a huge overhaul.
They’re taking down the exit ramp and building out a new road. They're expanding it and it's quite fascinating.
In your own life, are you willing to put yourself under construction?
Rather than being a permanent fixture, are you always evolving, always expanding, and fixing your roadways, the little cracks, the little holes here and there.
Are you always making it better?
In this episode you will take away many promising insights as below
Importance of having a flexible expanding and evolving mind set, how watching constructions can teach us to grow ourselves, what perpetually putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations makes us.
Interesting Quotes from the episode:
-Did you allow some sort of concrete to set in where you became fixed and you been happy with you being fixed for so long?
-Internally, your beliefs, your mentality, how you see the world: is it just solid and fixed?
-Are you willing to put yourself under construction and taking that step further, are you willing to stay under construction?
-Rather than being a permanent fixture, your new ‘norm’ is like: I'm always evolving, I'm always expanding, I'm always fixing my roadways, I'm always fixing the little cracks, the little holes here. I'm always making it better
-Because you've decided that the new ’norm’ is slightly different: it's a perpetual state of putting yourself in uncomfortable situations
-You're ready for the now new ‘norm', more uncomfortable situations and because of that you've reinvented yourself

We just finished up the Super Bowl here in Las Vegas and it was all a madness experience for people who came.
The festivities were large and charged. Arguably one of the best experiences of the time spent here for the full week or week plus of what was going on here in Vegas.
My friend who's the chief marketing officer of Resorts World and he said it was the busiest time ever in his 20 years of being in Vegas.
Watch FULL YOUTUBE EPISODE HERE
What made this Super bowl so special?
Unlike the NFL or Formula 1, they made it a full Fan Experience: they were committed to integrating the fans and the people with every stop that they possibly could around town, so that the kids, the moms, the dads, the brothers, the sisters could all be a part of something.
What a fascinating picture that paints?
There was a magnificent appeal to the greater people to be a part of something special and meet their favorite stars, go to one part of the town and engage in this activity and then go down here and throw a football, and then go to a concert that night.
But the real question for you is: What is ‘Your Super Bowl’?
In this episode I’m gonna through intriguing questions that would help you reach success in business and in life:
-What is ‘Your Super Bowl’?
-What are you working for? What is going to be the ‘Super Bowl’ for you? Have you defined that for yourself?
-What playing field are you on? Do you know what you're doing on this playing field? Do you have the Playbook? Do you have the rule book?
Inspirational Quotes from the episode:
-In business and in life, a goal not as defined as it is, unlike in sports like as in a super bowl
-Did you hit the glory of where you potentially could be in your life which you had defined to be ‘Your Superbowl’?
-Lot of us haven't really thought of yet to figure out within what context are we playing the game of Life
-We have not thought of what context are we living through and figuring out how to operate in a system
-We have not thought of the boundaries/ limits of a place that allows us to do our best
-In business, it's actually much more muddled than you would think when it comes to playing football

Because Big Bob took time to work and build a business around the brilliant idea that struck him one day.
He didn’t like the carpet in his house when he got married to a girl he fell in love with. Just then he moved into Kansas city and bought a new house. When he wanted to get rid of the old carpet, he put a 3 line classified Ad which got an overwhelming response.
In came his brilliant idea to sell used carpets.
Bob founded 'Big Bob's used carpet stores' and quit his full time job in a few months.
Soon they started opening more stores. They licensed the idea, monetized the licensing, and franchised the idea.
Most of the people he sold franchises to were more successful than he was, made more money than he made. But he was doing something for them they couldn't do for themselves and they recognized it and saw the value. But those who thought they were more successful made more money and smarter than he was and had all the answers he'd say 'Sorry! this is not for you'

-Being an entrepreneur is not a 40-hour work week. It is probably a 60 to 80 hour work week. It’s cutting pay, it’s cutting benefits.

Our family’s philosophy is: Always on the GROW
In the recent past, we have done a lot of thinking in determining our core values and principles and what we stand for.
We spent hours thinking through how we want to conduct ourselves as a family, and as individuals.
In this episode, I’m going to lay down the formula that I have tested out in my own personal life.
Quotes:
-
We wanted to start controlling our lives in a way where it’s turning us into people we wanted to see ourselves as today and in the future. By reconciling who we were in the past: what decisions we weren’t making, what expectations we had of ourselves and weren’t following

I realized that I was more consistent this year than my previous year
These days, I literally have to work just 3 to 4 days a month to make multiple 6-figures a year.
However, a decade ago, I found it very hard to accomplish the things that I wanted to accomplish.
Reason: partying, drinking, doing drugs, gambling, going out every night were my top priority. Though it seemed like those experiences are full, other parts of me said: there’s no direction. I was extremely complacent.
I was building businesses and restaurants but focus and concentration were fully absent.
This went on for a decade. Till the day I decided to become sober.
But when I decided to go sober, first thing I did was to ask myself ’why is this behavior taking place?

Important Quotes from the episode
Just because you had the vision, the want, and the desire to go out do some incredible things; doesn’t mean that you had the level of detail needed in order to execute at a very high level.
Because partying, drinking, doing drugs, gambling, going out every night were my priority; it was very hard for me to accomplish the things I actually wanted to accomplish.
I’ve completely recreated myself in so many ways
We need to ask ourselves, ‘Is this all that I was put here to do?’
Variables change, mentalities change, businesses evolve; everything is moving at a speed and at a rate.
Because there’s so much available to us, it confuses us and distracts us from doing the things we’re wanted/supposed to do
I literally have to work 3 to 4 days a month and make multiple 6-figures, however, I realized that’s not the standard for me to be known for, internally with myself.
Because I understand the change process so much; I know what people are capable of, I know what the possibility is
We need more people to rise up against the challenges that we’re facing on a big scale

Transitioning to the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno in 2007, Silverman executed a remarkable turnaround, elevating it from the 12th to the 2nd ranked property in Northern Nevada within six months. He introduced innovative concepts such as Briscola, the first-ever Italian restaurant under the Charlie Palmer banner, Rim Asian Bistro, Xtreme Sports Bar and Grill, The Beach, The Buffet, and The High Roller Lounge, many of which remain successful today.
Silverman's influence extended beyond traditional venues, as he organized city-wide events like the Xtreme Outlaws Races, drawing massive crowds and achieving record-breaking feats. In recent years, he has consulted with international chefs to bring Michelin Star awarded restaurant concepts to Las Vegas and launched an artisan super premium distilled spirits line of XO Rums.
His diverse portfolio includes producing feature films and television projects, notably the EDM-themed film "We Are Your Friends" and the upcoming film "My Dead Friend Zoe," addressing veteran PTSD and suicide issues. Silverman also co-founded a software firm, GEO-Emblaze, serving multimedia companies during the early stages of internet-streaming content.

David Benham, one stellar half of the infamous Benham Brothers!
Former professional baseball player, nationally acclaimed entrepreneur, and best-selling author.
His rise to success came with the first company, which grew to 100 offices in 35 states, and catapulted him and Jason onto the national stage. Topped charts like, Inc. Magazine’s Fastest Growing Companies, Franchise 500’s Top New Franchises, Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year Finalists, Wall Street Journal’s Top Five Real Estate Agents in America list, and the US Chamber of Commerce’s Top Small Business of the Year.
He and his brother's success eventually landed them a straight to series reality show with HGTV in 2014, yet the show was abruptly cancelled when activist groups pressured the network to fire them because of their commitment to biblical values. The boys walked away and said, “If our faith cost us a reality show, then so be it.” Appearing on FOX Business, ABC’s Nightline, CNN, FOX News, and Good Morning America the brothers encouraged people to stand for what they believe, whatever the cost. Since that time David and Jason have started dozens of businesses, written several books, and launched an online coaching series called Expert Ownership, where they train people how to serve God, thrive in business, and live a life of impact.
David is happily married and lives on the same street in Charlotte, NC, next to his brother with their combined nine children. They and their wives love to help kingdom-minded entrepreneurs and leaders thrive in every area of life, including their marriage and family.
Even though this interview was with David, you will certainly feel both of their spirits!

Seeing his uncle build this big beautiful house on Long Island, Tom Ierna remembers saying to himself as a kid, “Wait! I want to be able to do that for myself too.” That turned out to be the starting point that has driven Tom to become successful in his 20’s.
He was a kid from Long Island, New York who always felt special in a weird way. He's relaxed about everything and lived with the attitude ‘life would work out its own way’. Tom happened to be always around a lot of successful people during the process.
Tom always did well in school but when he went to New York city to go to college, it wasn't so much about college. For him it was just to live in the city.
Though only 28, Tom feels like he is 40 and a lot of people say, ‘He's an old soul.’
As an 18-year-old Tom started his bead and bracelet business from a hotel boutique which soon started selling online and to celebrities. He soon rubbed shoulders and shared space with popular names like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.
But Tom was always ethical in conducting himself. The moral values he learned at home as kid, he always carried with him. Living by them made him attractive to people who continue to work with him.
Listen up, as Tom speaks about how he lives his life with honesty, integrity and with the right character, in a world like Hollywood where there’s so much drama that’s opposite the personality of Tom.
Insights from the Episode:
I taught myself everything, learned on my own; I really don't know what I really got from college if I'm being honest
You can manifest anything you want, if you put out the work
Some people are so good at something that they don't even recognize what they're doing and it's hard for them to explain it or potentially teach it back to somebody
Knowing right from wrong: your morals, values and all that is important
It's super important that you be very honest
I am here where I am career wise because I'm just very honest with people
If you believe in something; you should defend yourself, stand up for yourself and don't let people walk all over you
It's really important to surround yourself with a good group of people:
like-minded people
It's very easy for me to work through things and if I do something wrong,
I'm very able to see that and apologize. It's very easy for me to clean up the mess, if there is a mess
I like to actually hang out with older people who are successful
Everything will always work out, it always does in some way
You just got to keep good people around you that you could fall back on and not get stressed out by certain things
You just don't want the appearance of being successful, you actually want to be successful
Social media used to mess me up a bit. It would make me feel insecure. I would see other people that were around the same age where it all looks like ‘it's so pretty’. But everybody has their own issues
If you create regardless of what it is, it ultimately will make you happier
It's really important to take time to check in on yourself to make sure you're happy
Just be more calm and not worry about what everyone else is doing, just focus on yourself and if you work hard you know it's going to pay off
It's not that hard to be successful if you're willing to put in the work.
When you're working hard eventually something's going to stick but you got to have like a direction
Everybody wants to be famous these days, but it's better to ‘just calm down’
As human beings, if we don't grow we're going to be stagnant and being stagnant doesn’t lead to good things
In this episode, Manny shares the 1 fundamental communication skill that can open up a whole new world of experience and knowledge.

In here you will learn what Michael Jordan said makes him, him
You will also learn that the rooms you find yourself in could be the result of one simple action
In addition to that, you may even just end up learning that now is the time because the consequences of not doing something are far greater than the pain of doing it

Garth Massey has been a colonel in the marine corps, was in the reserves and was on active duty for four or five years in the 90s. Then got off and have done about four years of mobilizations and tours and stuff. He's put all that into about the last 26 years, he's been strapping on the green suit and playing the game.
He started his company a decade ago-- teaching leadership programs for different levels of people: beginners and the experienced. They have offerings for different stages for different people-- both companies and individuals. They are teaching to implement military leadership processes for entrepreneurial businesses.
Thousands of business professionals and Marines have trained through their CommandReady program on how understanding leadership in professional and personal lives can create new opportunities.
For them, success meant creating cohesive teams, inspiring innovation, building and promoting stars based on the principle -- we achieve more when we are open to learning.
Leadership is a process, a journey. Through continuous learning, practical application of ideas and personal reflection, leaders can shape environments that improve business outcomes, drive innovation and improve retention of key employees. “Never stopping to learn makes everyone on your team better” is a strong belief of their team.
In this episode, Garth talked to Manny about a few topics like: How the military has shaped Garth in becoming a better man. How an adult can have a direction and purpose in life and can strive to achieve it. The process to work with your values. What does Garth still struggle with and differences in styles between being in the military and being an entrepreneur. How do you condition someone to empower them to become good in spite of their doubts and feelings.
Insights from the Episode:
The military has systematically broken down by age and rank like things you can do to help continuous learning
Operational design: It's that thing that connects your goal to tactics and strategy. When done with intentionality and on purpose, we call that continuous learning
Motivation is like coffee which lasts just for 5 minutes, shoot for Inspiration instead.
Purpose and direction are key elements of leadership. If you internerlize them--you're living by your vision, you're living your philosophy
If you're not truly living your purpose, only thinking what can I get, how can I get, what's mine; all those things will ring hollow and it doesn't work
Commanding is the most overused and often the most negative style of leadership
When you get to the place where you're actually applying stuff, you're getting to the level of mastery where you have a degree of competence in your field. You build greater confidence, try new things, make small adjustments and really start to customize it and make it your own.
In the process of developing mastery: passion starts kicking in, now you're at this place where you're like 'I'm pretty good at this'
When you do your thing at the mastery level, people around you start changing, they feel that energy: that is Leadership
When you're authoritarian and kind of dictatorial in your process; what do people do? they resist.
You could go down a rabbit hole of trying to follow somebody else's past because we feel so certain about everybody else. But we should have that same certainty about what we should do.
It's always harder to know what we should do
It's not about choosing the right path but it's about choosing your priority
Human beings are wired to acquire a target and track it down and crush it, that's how we work
You're filling the space in your head and your calendar and your day with noise; you are achieving nothing, you're doing nothing, you're just spinning plates everywhere
If you think having multiple priorities works for you, how long do you want to play that game?
In the military, in tactical parlance; we say if you have more than one main effort, you have no main effort at all
In the moment that you're in, do that thing and do that one thing well, and stop trying to do ten
If you got a side hustle, you're not doing your hustle right. So either let the hustle go and get on the side hustle and grow that thing
Most people should not be entrepreneurs, they don't have the risk tolerance for it
The longer and harder you work on your values; the more refined your understanding becomes and the easier it becomes to embody them, show them or live them or discuss them or debate them.
‘Make more money' -- that's not a value, that's like a task, that's a thing, it's a byproduct of a life well lived
Even chasing happiness is a dangerous undertaking
We should be looking for a flourishing life; it's one where good things and bad things happen to you and yet you're growing through it and you're improving
Even in pain we can get something, we learn at the pain of adjustment
Internal motivation is way more powerful if you don't lie to yourself, and that takes courage
You have to have the courage to make hard choices, to do the hard things to be upright, when everyone else is slouched to engage in the work when netflix is calling
Have big goals, aspire to great things, it's okay to want to do something just gigantic: have a huge company or work towards sainthood
We're not learning about who we are and what our character is, and because we're ignoring that we just rot like little mushrooms and fungus
The more successful you get, the more you're going to be attacked from the outsides trying to pull you back down
If you're going to be a leader; the goal is not to use the power, it's to use your wisdom and your experience to draw out other people's power
We worry about the future as though we could control it but you can't project the future
We spend a lot of anxious time worrying about the future when we can't control it.
We don't think about the things we're doing right now, that could get us there to our goals
You are probably your best mentor for the future self; the thing you do today is the mentorship, the coaching, the growth for your future
You live for the outcomes, you do not live for right now
You've got to look at your life and say 'what am I learning next, what takes me to that next level?'
Wherever you are, there are things to learn at that level and then there's things to learn to get out of that one and move on to the next
You don't learn by watching, you learn by doing. There's no better way to learn than to teach
Having a struggle never stops and that's a good thing, you want the struggle, you want to embrace that and that's what builds resilience, that's what makes grit
Sometimes in our lives we get stuck, we get tired, it's hard; but you can't stay there, if you stay there you just become dead to the world and that's no good

Insights from the Episode
The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose
With a growth mindset, you realize that obstacles are just opportunities in disguise and you move from there
You only need two things to be successful in life: insight and perseverance
There are opportunities-- the nuggets that are out there, that no one's bothering to pick up
If you can take perseverance and transform it into passion, that passion will cover you through the rough spots, it'll move you forward
Don't fly solo, you will need a series of mentors, no one got there on their own
There is no such thing as a self-made man or woman
You have to discover what your superpower is: we all have something that makes us unique and if we can lean into that, we'll get further in business
Most of the successful people that you know, their first businesses were failures
When you fail, you don't end up where you start. You either earn or you learn but either way you're further along the path
Entrepreneurs don't sell things, they solve problems
Disruption isn't about what happens to you, it's about how you respond
If you're broke it's not your fault, but if you stay broke it's your fault
When you don't have money, you learn how to do things without money
You got to stress yourself beyond belief
Whenever you're thinking of giving up and you think like the dream is too far away, you pause and look over your shoulder how far you've climbed and you amaze yourself
The harder you work the luckier you'll get
I like to go where there's no competition; it's the same amount of work and you got nobody working against you; and when it gets crowded there's always something new, the world is constantly changing
In business, the first person you will educate is not the customer, it's your competition
Go and start a business with who's going to acquire it in mind
Even if you just have a job, even if you're just doing gig work; there's a better way to structure it than you pay me this and I'll do that
Today's customers want to buy from companies that share their values
The competition is spending hundreds of millions of dollars; you got to find every which way you can to get noticed
It's amazing that, you can come up with that half idea and watch people take it further than your imagination and refine it and make it grow into something
The fun is to do something nobody's done before, anybody else would have done it better, but you will be lucky enough to do it first

In this episode Manny Vargas is going to talk about 3 Reasons why your Communication Skills are suffering and what you can do to improve them.
Be it in relationships, partnerships, with business people, in professional environments, with peers, or in our casual conversations on the street; we all want those smooth conversations. We want to get better with our communication skills.
So, here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
First Manny starts with, ‘You’re Not Falling in Love with the Idea that Communication is Important.’
You need to really love it in order to excel with your communication skills and be willing to do the work. You need the dedication and the commitment to master the craft and to get really good at it.
Secondly, Manny says, ‘You Don't Look at Communication Skills as if It's a Game.’
Many times, we are concentrating on just the opposites, 'Oh! I am not good enough', 'I am insufficient in this particular type of skill.’ All the negative self-talk. So, you’ve lost that joy and that excitement.
So, if you can find that excitement, that playfulness; your progress with your communication skills become a game.
Third reason Manny says is, 'You Don't Appreciate Your Instrument'. He talks about the voice - the human instrument that helps you create the sounds and manufacture those words. We get to play with our instrument every day.
It is fascinating that just from the way you speak, talk, and from the way you communicate; you can take somebody on a journey.
If you don't appreciate the fact that voice is a part of your repertoire and part of how you become a better communicator and a great conversationalist, you're going to reverse the effects.

When you’re trying to ‘live in the moment’ everyday of your life, you will be able draw out lessons from every one of the experiences you go through. Some learn lessons from pain and disease, and some through hardship and adversity.
Manny learned the lessons from a different experience.
Manny recently went on a trip to Legoland along with his beautiful lady. The reason for the trip, nieces and nephews, brothers and sisters! But it was all about the KIDS. It was a big ol’ family fun day. It was a busy and packed day fully loaded with excitement, fun and enjoyment.
Yet, Manny being the creative individual that he is, made it a point to think and document a few lessons to observe during the trip. Here he will share these lessons with you that are applicable in real life.
In this episode you will learn 3 Lessons Manny learned on his trip to Legoland.
- What to do when you're afraid of going into certain situations that make you feel anxious and nervous.
- Is Adventure worth taking the risk?
- Should you finish everything that you started?
Insights from the episode:
There are times when we actually find things that we're afraid of -- things that make us nervous and scared; but then the moment we pivot from being at that emotional state to going into it and getting involved and being a part of it; that’s when the transformation starts to take place
The real-life experiences which once made you nervous and scary but have become fun later on: use them as a triggers to get yourself into the right mental position when you're starting something new,
transfer that old energy, use it when you're getting ready to do something you're uncomfortable of: like going to speak in front of a group
If we allow ourselves to be controlled by what other people are telling us to do, and we keep ourselves in these boxes and live without doing our own research and searching and hunting for the facts, thus playing scared; then we don't necessarily get in position to have the experiences that life has to offer to us
I'm not going to be told what to do and I'm certainly not going to surround myself with someone that's going to be told what to do
Make your life an adventure; do the things that you love to do, find that thing that gives you a thrill and don't be susceptible to being controlled by the narrative and what other people are governing you to do
We're just being projected too much news right now that's inaccurate; and it's affecting a lot of people's quality of life
Sometimes you know those phones can get in the way and they start to suck up our life and it prevents us from actually being able to enjoy the idea in the moment
If you stay until the end and finish what you start, you will reap the benefits
In life, if you finish what you start, you develop a reputation for being someone that executes and gets the job done
We go through suffering, right?
Yes, we all experience pain and grief.
Maybe you've lost a boyfriend, or you’ve lost an animal. We lose people that we love, things that we love, animals that we love and therefore there are tremendous experiences of that loss and it is not the nicest thing on the planet to experience.
Because, we have those bonds with people and with our most beloved animals.
But this experience of mine, it was so sudden. It was a big thing for me that startled me and really broke me down.
Bubba was a big old bulldog with a face that only an owner could love, because that boy had a grin on him with an underbite that nobody could like unless you had love for that big guy, the handsome devil. He’s just so sweet, kind, and loving all the time. Truly a man's best friend.
He was my dog, my dad's dog. He was the family dog. He was just one that brought everybody together.
About the incident
8 year old Bubba has been with us ever since I was running restaurants and these last 5 years since I’ve been sober. Suddenly Bubba started to have health issues. His stomach started to look awkward as it was growing outward. He was just panting for no apparent reasons.
After been taken to the Vet and after some blood samples and X-ray, it was discovered
he was developing cancer.
In a few weeks the cancer developed into a big bummer. It has metastasized to other areas of his body.
There were just 2 choices: Have a surgery and remove the mass that is pushing his whole stomach and intestines to one side of the body and give him chemotherapy, or take him through Euthanasia (put him down)
So, what happened next? And what's all this fuss about a dog?
Why dedicate an episode for him?
Is there a lesson or two for us humans to learn from him? If yes, what could the lessons be…
Listen up to understand how I dealt with the grief of having to put this dog down, and surprisingly came up with a new understanding on life. There are lessons that you could implement in your personal life when you're in times of pain and suffering.
Insights from the Episode:
It's really about understanding and detail, and having definition
People that aren't in control of themselves and haven't worked on themselves tediously over a period of time would have those strong reactions when there is very heartbreaking news
When you do certain things in life it almost has this irony in it, where it rewards you in unexplainable ways
When in pain and suffering; feel free to let loose your emotions and cry and let it flow through you, because that was probably the best thing that you could do
I had developed myself in a way where I've healed lots of pain in my life in the last 5 years to come to this place where there's tranquility
Surround yourself with people. Reach out and find support. Do not hold anything back
There's always a blessing in every distressed situation
Life is always unfolding, and that's never going to be the last time that we have to experience difficulty
We truly have the power to be stronger than the certain adversities we're facing
If you've been through adversity and you're still fighting and going through and you're still moving forward, then something tells me you're a Stoic
Dave Austin knew he was going to do what he doing today even when he was 10 years old. Coaching.
A Couple of coaches he played under had these negative approaches toward him. He became slow and gained much weight because of a sarcastic comment from a Naval Sergeant coach in North Carolina, when he was actually quite quick in his play. His next coach's indirect talk in Hawaii made him lose all weight.
"So at a very young age I someday want to be a coach; but I want to be a coach that's going to bring people up, not take them down", says Dave who went on to build his career around football, baseball, and tennis. Even after a car accident that ended his football and baseball careers, he became a world ranking professional tennis player.
Dave lost every penny when he was in his mid-30s and he already ended his professional tennis career. He'd just started dating his wife and it was a night when they were supposed to go out to dinner and a movie. It was a humble pie for Dave when she volunteered to pay the bill, but Cathy loved him though he went penny less. Dave and Cathy have lived together for the last 40 years.
Dave trained some of the best athletes on the planet, and actually gives them the recipes and tools to take them to the next level. He took the US Olympic team to Scotland for the world cup.
Dave's 'Game Ready' process works not only in athletics but also in business because he teaches winning principles that are universal.
Dave was in Hollywood as a successful actor, but when he decided to raise his kids, he left Hollywood altogether.
Listen up to understand the preparation techniques of high-performance athletes like Tony Gwynn and Michael Young. Dave narrated a story about how he took a major league superstar from the worst season of his life to the best season of his life. Things get interesting when the superstar had to face another client of Dave on the opposite side of the game. You can also learn about Dave’s Crocodile RESPA formula which helps you act wisely even in very high-pressure situations.
Next, he talked about the things superstars are doing differently than the average guys. Finally, Dave's five-step process works for any disastrous situation.

Insights from the Episode:
I'm a great observer and that gives me the ability now to coach, I observe greatness
Tony would get to the ballpark before anybody else, though he is the best hitter in baseball
Just before his training Tony would just stand there and stare at the ball; so he was training his brain to focus on the only thing that really matters. We have so many distractions in life, those distractions keep us from our objective
As a coach when I work with players, I teach them how to get their brain just to focus on what's important
We have so many different distractions and it's easy to be distracted, but it's training your brain to work for you rather than against you that matters
A lot of us just go to do things; we don’t go to that level that extra level of preparation
There are many people that will learn things and so they know it, but that's where they get stuck. But you've got to go from knowing it, to doing it, to being it and that's a daily practice
Most Valuable Players -- they do the littlest things, they don't leave anything unturned
Some talk about the devil all the time, it's almost like they worship the devil. Let's not give that much power to something that is so negative.
It's not about the results; it's about who you are in this present moment. It's the journey and how we approach today
I surrender to a much smarter, more creative, more everything than I can be by myself
If you let your emotions get in front of your objective, you're dead; get your emotions behind you
Gratitude can shift everything; it's the best thing to do in any situation
If you have the courage to step through; on the other side is a whole new world of universal laws that are available
You have to become aware of some of the habits you have, we do things we're not even aware of
Once you become more aware of your habits, you move in to take responsibility
I'm the one that stopped any of my success; nothing outside me, it was all me
It's just a matter of taking action behind your dream
Courage is not the absence of fear; it is that something else is more important than the fear you feel
Feel that fear; we're just going to shift the fear into a commitment to your objective
Courage is not the absence of fear; it's just how you deal with fear and how you move through fear
Most of the players don't know they're naturally and physically gifted they don't understand that they can take their game even further
Those that are committed to their mental build up beyond their physical abilities-- it separates them; it’s night and day
Many people are just willing to settle for good, but to go great you've got to just keep saying 'what more can I do'
Most people close down and they close their vision, rather than open the vision
A sense of gratitude gives you strength in any situation
It's once you have momentum you want to keep the momentum going, that's an area people don't understand; there's either negative momentum or positive momentum

Ty Cohen is an accomplished publishing expert, internet marketer, personal development coach, mentor, internationally known speaker, former morning talk show radio personality, and author. Over the last 11 years, Ty has taught tens of thousands of individuals how to successfully market, promote & sell their books on Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing Platform using the very same system that allows him to generate upwards of $50,000.00 a month with KDP publishing. Using a unique combination of tested and proven methods and resources, Ty’s goal is to educate and empower individuals with the tools needed to operate a successful business both on and offline.
"Mrs. Cohen, you should not expect your son to live past the age of 17", told the doctor outside a major hospital.
They didn't know the kid lying on this bed heard their conversation. The boy pulled the covers over his head and did what a 12 year old does. Crying.
12 year old Ty Cohen was in the hospital for 3 weeks and was going through a major health crisis.
"5 years is an eternity when you're 12 but you also know it's not much time", says Ty Cohen who later became an accomplished internet marketer and over a decade ago, took a major gamble with his life financially by quitting his corporate job.
He went on to build a business that flourished and at one point in time, he had to write a check worth $400,000 to the IRS.
Born with a chronic blood disorder, Ty Cohen never knows a day when he did not have to be conservative or cautious of getting sick. People with chronic blood disorder-sickle cell anemia die in their 20s or 30s. In fact, his sister passed away aged 27.
He had these pain crises since he was 8 and the only way to minimalize the pain is with heavy dosages of medicine. This continued till his 30s. Often he'd be sick in the hospital for weeks.
Coming across a book by Personal development coach Les Brown proved to be a major turning point in Ty's career.
The business Ty started after quitting his job, was generating millions of dollars in sales and totally transformed his life as well as the lives of countless others in just a few short years.
In his childhood, Ty lived in one of the worst areas in the USA where epidemics broke out. “State troopers and police officers were afraid to go because they could get shot at. They would be running out of their cars”, says Ty. It all sounds like something that you would only see in a movie.
Despite all this, Ty Cohen went on to become a Tycoon of kindle publishing and built an empire to the tune of multi-millions of dollars a year.
Today, Ty is changing people’s lives by putting together programs and which can affect millions of people whom he'll never meet.
Listen to The man who should have been dead by the age of 17 was able to use the adversities of sickness and poverty to build several multi-million dollar businesses.

Insights from Ty
I started practicing for a few years to be as intentional and aware as possible with almost every movement that's made on a day-to-day basis
Never let someone else's opinion of you become your reality
Everything starts with a decision: you have to decide to make that change and then from there you start to see things fall in place
Stop being so smart, stop over analyzing things; that will hold you back
The thing that paralyzes us the most is not taking the right actions; we don't act as we planned in our notes
Every single day do something that's going to push you forward, it all goes back to having habits, the habit of doing something every day even if you just have to put five minutes
You have to become a master of the craft at what you want to be dominant at
I'm developing the habit of being the guy who is not satisfied with ever missing a day
To be the best dad, best father develop that habit of never missing a day with your kids and doing something for them
Once you start to make moves, everything else comes into play; to the point where it's hard just to shut it off
All you have to make to get started online is your first dollar
If you want to get to the next level, you have to have something that pushes you forward; a reason, a why
Be very careful with what group you identify with
Anything that we want to accomplish, we can actually do it: but it does take a lot of work, it does take sacrifices
Make sure you don't fall into the wrong group and also find the right group to associate with
You have to align yourself with groups where the success that you're after is beyond normal for that group
There's never going to be a point in life where you're not going to have some struggle
People that see your growth as being like dangerous to them could be something that can screw with you
You can be too busy making all the money and not living life; you have to live your life too
Sometimes you have to schedule these things out like vacations, making sure that you are reaping the rewards from the hard work that you put in
If I miss two days of not meditating, I don't feel right
The more we think about it, the more we give ourselves reasons not to do it
Work on discipline in every single area of your life because the way you do anything is the way you do everything
Whenever you get an idea for something, act on it immediately; because the longer that you wait on something the less likely it is to happen
With growth comes bigger and better problems, that's part of that growth process
I recently got A LITTLE TOO MUCH of a haircut and in this short and sweet clip I share with you how I approached the incident with peace of mind and why you should take the time to make note of events in your life that just don’t warrant any excessive outburst.
Under the conditions that the world is in now, and the struggle that people are facing, we need kindness, empathy, and gentle souls that lift other people up and keep them up, not push them down, ESPECIALLY after losing a few extra hairs!

Of working out--- it's not about the physical, it's the mental

The fear being alone keeps a lot of people in really bad relationships

Do you need clarity and focus in life? Are you loaded with baggage that are holding you back? Do you have issues in relationships in both your personal and professional life?
Have you ever tried virtues like Forgiveness and Love?
Forgiveness Expert Anil Gupta says 'Forgiveness is the Express Pathway to Freedom'
Anil is on the mission to make a difference in the lives of millions these days, and he has made transformations in people’s lives, overnight, sometimes just from single consulting sessions.
But, back then, he had been through his own deepest valleys in life. Times were very challenging for him in 2008, so much that he even contemplated suicide. He was thinking, he's such a failure even if he did try and commit suicide, he might even mess that up, as well.
Those days, having his identity around money and being surrounded by rich people and constantly comparing himself with them, he thought he’d lost everything. But, an absolute stunning eye opener came for him when his wife asserted that his identity around her and the kids is very much there.
In this episode Anil says, ‘We do things for other people thinking that's what they want; all you have to do is have that simple conversation with someone, “What is it you want from me, what would make you happy”; and you'll be stunned by what they say.
Now, do you accept your children as they are? See below the insight from Anil.
“In that moment the child is born we accept that child as it is; but as the child grows we stop accepting that child and that's where the discord happens between the parent and child which ultimately ends up affecting the entire life of the child from an emotional standpoint”
Are you blaming your partner for YOUR happiness? Anil says,
“Don't let your partner be the source of your happiness; let YOU be the source of your happiness”
Listen on as Anil talks about; How do You Find Your Worthiness, The Power of Giving, Positive Results of Clarity, What Pure Love is, The Power of Forgiveness, Outcome for Getting Uncomfortable, How do You Choose a Date and many more.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- The Journey of Anil Gupta; the challenges he had and how he ended up coming out on top
- What did Anil learn about himself when he went through pain, where he even contemplated suicide
- How do you undo what was previously controlling you and create a new blueprint for yourself, so that now you operate from a different perspective with new processes in life
- What is it that actually prevents people from having that conversation; what is a great way to approach your spouse openly and with humiliation
- How do you find your worthiness and what is the process involved; why people had lost it and what is a good way to get back in
- How to forgive someone and let go when somebody is just having a difficult time doing so
- What is the definition of Love and Fulfillment
- What is the biggest killer of relationships today between a man and a woman; and what can somebody do to adjust the outcome of their particular relationship
- How do you choose a person who you want to date or have a relationship with
- What is the process to follow when you choose a partner
- Why is it we put so much weight on shoulders for our partners, to be everything to us and for us
- Who are unhappy people; why are they unhappy and what can they do to find that immediate happiness
- How do we get rid of the distractions; to live in the now, live in the moment
- What's the definition of Happiness, what does it mean

Maria Hunt, in her early twenties always had that entrepreneurial spirit and wanted to do something to help people. That's just been her nature as she’s loved working for people.
She had been a horrible student in her student days barely graduating, but once she started working with these huge technology companies that's where it sparked her interests in learning. She learnt everything there is to learn about business and entrepreneurship from her once upon a time, co-workers and bosses.
“When you're working in a company, you have the social aspect, you're working with people but when you're a non-working mother, it's more isolating and lonely when you're just home with your kids.”
Maria worked for MySpace and other Tech startups that inspired in her, the social aspects. MySpace connected people, which is especially what mothers, ultimately need.
It was when Maria found these other mom groups, only to find there was mom shaming, being mean, or judgmental at one another.
She thought, she's getting older, and there is no time to do all of that, so she wanted to create this community of women who inspire, who look out for each other, who support, who loved to laugh, who love to have a good time and do not judge each other because, all women are going through all of it together.

- Nowadays there are stay-at-home moms that are on their phone constantly while their babies are playing in the playpen or whatever
- Women need to just get out their comfort zones and take that chance and that risk; then great things will come out
- Women need to surround themselves with people who'll support them no matter what, in all aspects of their lives

This chef is different.
He is not like the other chefs who can't get onto the stage and certainly, is not nervous to be in front of guests, in the dining room. Some may cook a heck of a lot better than him, but he is the type, who's always on stage, and in board meetings.

Brandon Webb was a 12 year kid when he started learning how to Scuba dive. Brandon had an alternative childhood as he grew up living in a boat at a harbor during that time while his parents wanted to sail around the world with the family, living that cruising lifestyle. And from that his father bought a 47-foot boat for the same purpose.
Brandon's life had been adventurous all through. One night at age 13, he had to go down into a shark infested water, to get the anchor of his ships unstuck from a rock. Sea lions were flying by as he swam down to the anchor with a flashlight his hand and the experience, an amazing one, certainly boosted his confidence at such a young age.

When Sean Stephenson was born, doctors predicted he would not survive more than 24 hours because of a rare bone disorder. Sean’s bones are extremely fragile and they have been broken about 200 times, all by the time he was 18 years of age. He has stunted growth, stands about 3 feet tall and is confined to a wheelchair. BUT the man, has a GIANT HEART!
All this did not stop Sean Stephenson from becoming a well known motivational speaker, author, and businessman, whose message has been heard at live events in over 16 countries and, 48 states, in the past 23 years.
Despite the challenges he faced, he’s taken a stand for a quality of life that has reached millions of people around the world, including Sir Richard Branson, President Clinton, and his Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama.
Sean has appeared on everything from The Oprah Show to online videos with hundreds of millions of views.
Today, Sean joins the ‘A Desire to Inspire with Manny Patrick’ Show, and talks about his personality, bumps and bruises he’s faced and, several processes that helps one navigate through life.

Where Sean started and what he's gone through, the bumps and bruises he had along the way, ultimately to where he is today.

How do you stay so centered and develop the passion and patience for yourself in a world where there’s nothing but uncertainty.
Message of inspiration to the listeners.
Key points in the episode:
The bumps never stopped, the bruises never stopped. It’s a misconception that when you succeed the bumps and bruises go away.
I think the bigger game that you play the harder you get hit.
It’s all about figuring out how to navigate life to avoid the bumps and bruises to the best of your ability and acknowledging it’s still going to come.
Confidence is the result of taking acts in courage, taking acts in courage is the result of knowing that you’re moving forward in the queue.
When something is temporary and it’s 10 years, it sucks.
Time is a very elusive thing because all that exists is now; your past is not yours, your future is not, all that exists is now.
If you’re creating a life that you love, every ‘now’ is enjoyable, but if you’re creating life where you’re waiting for things to be done and to ‘feel good’, your ‘now’ is always going to suck.
When you want to succeed in life, you only prove it to yourself if you’re doing something now.
If you don’t enjoy your life without money, you won’t enjoy with money. If you don’t enjoy life without love, you won’t enjoy with love.
When you want to succeed in life, you only prove it to yourself if you’re doing something now.
You won’t have that life that you love, if you allow your insecurities to garb your dreams.
But if you’re on the win life SUCKS’ list, it will tear you apart; your insecurities will run the show.
You have to have a connection to your life’s purpose.
Everyone is born for a purpose, to nudge the human race, planet and the universe forward.
When people hate what they do, they’re not connected to their life work.
We have to be supportive with the empowering environment; you have cut off anything and everything that is lowering your vibration.
You need to compare yourself to yourself, are you evolving? If you’re doing it right, you should always be embarrassed of your previous self.
People who really play big in their life; they are constantly outside their comfort zones.
I’m not going to return back to some place, which is negative and guilt driven just because I shared DNA.
The more that you step outside your comfort zone, the quicker you realize how unstoppable you become.
Pain is like a warning that says you’re running low on something.
You can’t wait until you feel sorry for yourself, you have to move forward while you feel sorry for yourself.
Your life partner reveals you what is repressed in you, what is not fully worked out and honed yet.

- If you want something, you’re given that idea because you have those skills of accomplishment.
Albert Einstein once said, 'It's never too late to have a happy childhood.'
Peter Brandl (President of the German Speakers Association) like many other boys, had a childhood dream to drive Airplanes. But at 14, his dreams were shattered when a medical seminary said Peter cannot become a pilot because he wore glasses.
But, at 35 when Peter was being successful in his career and consulting business, and learning that his glasses won’t be an obstacle at all, his childhood dreams rekindled. He started taking flying lessons and soon became a licensed pilot.
Sometimes you have a dream and you really want to do it, but once you have done it, you recognize, ‘well there’s no need to do it for the rest of my life.’ From there, Peter went back to his prior job of running the consulting and training company.
Today, Peter has done more than 3,000 presentations in 13 countries and on three continents. The airline pilot, entrepreneur, flight instructor and multiple author is one of the most unconventional and sought-after speakers in the market.

One message of inspiration for the listeners today.
Interesting Quotes by Peter Brandl during the interview:
What are your dreams? How long do you want to wait? Wait until it’s too late?
Should you change the question into what can you do to fulfill this dream, to make it happen.
Are you living the life you want to live or do you find yourself in a situation you hate? What makes you stay there and what could you do to change it?
I think we are on earth to grow and to develop ourselves.
Biggest lesson that came from the cockpit is- Giving up is not an option.
If you punish someone for their mistakes, there’s a chance for them to hide their mistakes.
We need the corporate culture- Hiding mistakes is even worse than doing the mistake itself.
We have to stop acting as if we would not commit a mistake.
Stress makes decisions worse; failures and mistakes more likely to appear.
If you want to see the world as a good place, you will find enough proof to prove your opinion is right.
We think we are rational people but we aren’t, we think that we make rational decisions but we don’t.
Trust only the advices that you like.
Stop your fears. Fear keeps us from trying.
If you want to achieve something in life, you have to leave your comfort zone; you have to simply try it.
Stop trying to be perfect and start to be good. The moment you stop trying to be perfect is the moment you can start being good.
Make mistakes, that’ll improve us. Make mistakes, be really prepared.

Mike Domitrz was very determined he was going to be on broadway, was going to be in movies, going to be an actor. He graduated high school, went to Chicago, did college, and studied theatre.
Until one day while in college, he learnt from his Mom that his sister was sexually assaulted.
The incident changed the entire course of his life and career, which in turn had changed many people’s lives. He attended a program on sexual assault and decided then and there, that he's going to do something about it.
He started speaking out in colleges, working in schools. He now takes a tour around the country, speaking in universities and military installations throughout the world, spreading the message of building the culture of consent and respect.

Interesting Quotes by Mike Domitrz during the interview:
People in our society lack sexual maturity because we lack the discussion skills.
Our society don’t talk about sex, it just makes sure people don’t get pregnant or diseased. That’s completely sexually immature.
Every survivor has strength and courage inside them, that’s really pivotal important for every survivor to know.
The key to health and dating, it’s a combination of emotional and spiritual.
Lot of people in the dating world think, how can I make myself LOOK good. What we forget is how do I FEEL good about me, forget about other people's feelings.
When I learnt to feel good for myself, I was different person; I was more attractive to be around.
What energy do I walk in a room with? Not for others but for the universe and for yourself.
If you wanna see someone’s values, look where they spend their money and their time, especially their time.

Interesting Quotes by Regan Ann Hillyer during the interview:
The only resource I had at the beginning was my own commitment; it was the only resource I was able to draw on. I didn’t have any money.
I really started with me starting to figure out my own life, how do I not be in a job, how do I be happy at it, how do I have little bit of more freedom, I didn’t even have really big goals. I just wanted to live life a little bit better.
So many people are conditioned that firstly they have to DO more in order to achieve more which is NOT true. Again you need to BE more and then ACT from that place in order to ACHIEVE more
Not just action for the sake of action, but action that’s aligned to your vision, everything I do in life is getting me closer to the vision
Just because your family was brought up in scarcity doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be in scarcity. You can tap into an abundant mindset at any given time.

Do you realize..?
You were put here on this planet for a unique and singular reason, to fulfill a function that no other human being could. That’s why your fingerprints; your DNA’s are all different. It’s not a mistake, not an accident; you’re the only one of the kind that you are, and you don’t want to squander away that opportunity.
Some people are fortunate enough to find life’s purpose or stumble into it by the time they’re 20.

About our Guest:
John David Mann has been creating careers since he was a teenager.
Before turning to business and journalism, he forged a successful career as a concert cellist and prize-winning composer. At fifteen he won the prestigious BMI Awards to Student Composers and received the award at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.
At age seventeen, he and a few friends started their own high school in New Jersey (called Changes, Inc. — you can read about it here and here). “Alternative” though they were, his school successfully placed its students in such universities as Harvard and Yale.
John never planned to go into business; it just seemed to keep working out that way. He has founded one school, one food distribution business, one graphic design business, and two publishing companies.
In 1986 he founded and wrote for Solstice, a journal on health, nutrition, and environmental issues.
As a public speaker he has addressed audiences of thousands.
John is an award-winning author whose writings have earned the Axiom Business Book Award (Gold Medal, for The Go-Giver), the Nautilus Award (for A Deadly Misunderstanding), and Taiwan’s Golden Book Award for Innovation (for You Call the Shots).
His books are published in more than two dozen languages and have sold more than 2 million copies.
Most people have a fear of selling!
Are you one of them?
According to Anthony Iannarino, Selling is a philosophy more than anything. You need a combination of mindset and skill sets. It starts with self discipline, optimism, and caring about other people and having a sense of competitiveness. It’s all a process.
Anthony grew up in a situation where he didn’t have any money, his mom raising 4 kids all by herself, started working at 13 full time washing dishes, and later on worked at a contact center that raised money for community work.
Today he is a highly respected international speaker, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and sales leader specializing in the complex business-to-business (B2B) sale. He has an incredible sales blog, and thought provoking podcast that hosts lots of industry leaders on the show, 'In the Arena Podcast'.
His great works include the books 'The Only Sales Guide You’ll Ever Need’ and ‘The Lost Art of Closing'
Today his motto is, to serve people, try helping other people transform, be more to do more, find ways to contribute even more. Today, Anthony Iannarino joins the, A Desire to Inspire with Manny Patrick show.

Incredibly PUMPED UP about today’s guest and, gentleman, Chris Savage who joins the, A Desire to Inspire with Manny Patrick show, who I met back in April, in Boston, Cambridge to be exact during a local entrepreneur night.

Today, Chris is very people and community focused, and I saw him offering up tons of Entrepreneurship and business building advice to people there in Cambridge, that evening..
But, in the beginning days, they were running crazy lean, living with 10 people in a house, spending 15 dollars a week on food and sharing it amongst all of them.
Today it’s much different, Chris now regularly plays tennis, meditates, and works out even if he has a mountain of emails to attend to. He puts his family, friends and team first, and he's willing to thoughtfully hear people out and build a really creative environment with the thrill he gets from his joy of teaching.
He likes to see people grow, when everyone in the team and the company is growing.

Now, Alec is over committing himself, doing incredible things for Entrepreneurs and small business owners not asking for anything in return. He takes his gifts and talents into changing and impacting as many lives as possible, and extended himself especially into the youth community.

Then he joined the United States Army as a 13F, Forward Observer. He talks about his job going anywhere on the front line, where infantry goes or beyond into or behind enemy lines and call for air support or artillery. Josh quickly made the rank of E-8, First Sergeant, in just ten years. This means he was selected by the Department of Army, part of Congress, two times for excellent service and dedication to duty. As he tells me, normally, soldiers don’t make this rank until closer to twenty years. To make this rank in just ten years put Josh in the very top one percent of performers. On top of this, Josh deployed for a total of over three years to combat. Iraq 2002-2003, 2006-2007, and 2009-2010.

Then Josh talks about what he learned and experienced during this time and how it will forever be a part of what motivates him to continue to grow and be a better man. The brotherhood within the Army, of those whom you deploy to war with, is unexplainable and unforgettable, he says. Josh has found the deepest fulfillment in the success and happiness of his children. Growing up without a father has motivated him to be the best father within his personal abilities. Although, he don’t currently live with some of his children, he puts forth his greatest efforts to maintain a strong relationship with them and to be the foundation they need in their lives. He talks about how he also learned through time away, that it is never the quantity of time you spend with someone but it is the consistency of how you spend time, and the quality of time, you spend with them that will forever touch their hearts and minds.

Omar discovered something most never will, that becoming wealthy rarely happens by accident. Most people get wealthy by gaining knowledge, then using that knowledge in an applied and focused manner. Getting wealthy, Omar discovered, isn’t necessarily difficult but, does require strong, steady action and the right attitude, not the here and there, now and then, get-rich-quick schemes that seem to dominate, especially these days. Omar became wealthy because he chose to discover how. He then put his knowledge into applied action. He intently watched others succeed. And in the ultimate test of what he figured out – he used what he knew to succeed himself. Now, Omar devotes himself to teaching others how to become wealthy. He works with the whole person, mentoring others as much about life and attitude as financial tactics, so that someone can take their unique knowledge, passion and focus and, apply it in strong, steady action. So that they too, can become wealthy and truly prosper. So that they’ll have the money they want, and the life they want.
Omar Periu has done it:

He was a self-made multi-millionaire before the age of 31, owning some of the most profitable health clubs, sports medicine facilities and other businesses
