The Grind
Let's embrace fear, pain, problems, and what we like to call...the suck. Welcome to the grind!. The challenges, collectively referred to as The Grind, are the price you pay for personal growth and success. Hosts Joey Tork and Jason Harmon introduce you to and guide you through - The Grind.
“Redemption is the salvation of a soul that is lost, usually from human error”. Jason and Joey return for episode 98 of the Grind, Redemption Road. The guys waste no time jumping into the theme of the episode and they start by defining redemption, and what it means to them. Joey talks about the destiny aspect of when you are doing what you are supposed to do. Joey then describes how redemption is akin to the hero’s journey and he delves into some points from ‘The Daily Stoic’ by Ryan Holiday. Jason talks about the position he finds himself in, and how he understands that you have to surrender to the process sometimes to actually progress. Jason then talks about rejection, how it can physically affect you and control you subconsciously. “It sounds sexy to say ‘Fail Forward’, but guess what, in order to fail forward you actually have to fail”. Joey reminds the audience that there is always someone worse off, especially those who are yet to realise where they are failing. Jason describes how when you are going through a tough time it can be hard to see the forest for the trees. Joey and Jason then talk a bit about how you can transform yourself with discipline, but it requires honest conversations with yourself. This leads the guys to reflect on the nature of the conversations that they have on the podcast and why most people never have conversations on that wavelength. “If you don’t like your story, you need to figure out how to change it” The final topic the guys cover is the ending of your life movie, or the finish line of the race. Whatever it is for you, if the ending was now, how would you feel. The guys see this as a great catalyst for action and they weigh up why disregarding what people who aren’t important to you think is important. Lastly Jason talks about why you need someone to talk to about the real things in your life, the advice is simple, find someone to talk to. Grind on.

“Be detached from the outcome but enjoy the process”. This week on the Grind, Joey is holding down the fort for a solo interview with Tom Wheeler. Tom is a young, up and coming agent with Keller Williams and at 22 he already has 4 years of experience. The theme of this episode is defining moments and how you should try to react to and perceive them. Joey and Tom initially discuss what drove him to push past the stigma associated with younger estate agents, and Tom talks about how the entrepreneurial aspect of real estate helped fuel his passion. Joey brings up the intuition that a person feels when they are in the right position in life and the guys discuss some methods for analysing whether you are moving towards that or not. “I am in full control of the abundance in the universe”. Next, Tom and Joey talk about not being obsessed with the destination but focusing on enjoying the journey. Tom talks about how it can be useful to disregard other people’s expectations when setting them for yourself. He then brings up anxiety, and Tom explains how anxiety is born out of lack of control and how understanding that can lead you to let go of that need for control. Joey unpacks how the element of not being present in modern life (due mainly to technology) can be massively detrimental to your awareness of opportunities. “The power of the pause is so extreme”. Following the discussion on being present, Tom and Joey throw some ideas back and forth about perception and how you can use a positive mindset as a tool to reduce the damage from negative experiences. The guys bookend this by making a point about balance and how none of this works without taking balance into account. Tom tells some anecdotes about some moments of reflection he has had, and Joey builds on this by talking about the importance of pausing, whether it’s pausing work, your worries or the expectations of others. Joey finishes up by explaining to Tom how far ahead of his peers he is at 22, and the guys give some final thoughts on the discussion.

This week on The Grind Joey and Jason welcome Dan Meadors to the show. Dan and his business partner Eric Lambert started selling on Amazon in 2011 using a credit card with a $600 limit. Since then they have utilized Retail Arbitrage, Online Arbitrage, Private Label & primarily Wholesale to generate over $10,000,000 in sales, with their business continuing to see exponential growth. Dan and Eric also developed ‘The Wholesale Formula’, the premiere training program for selling products wholesale on Amazon. Before the interview the guys have a little catch up, Jason finds out that Joey doesn’t like The Princess Bride and they talk about the fun you can have with made up words like ‘snowpocalypse’. Dan begins the interview by regaling the guys with the story of how he first started his amazon selling business and what it is like starting an operation with very little capital. He then goes into how the infrastructure of Amazon can help new entrepreneurs operate at a higher scale than they otherwise would have. Jason and Joey pick Dan’s brain about the finer points of his early operations and how he has grown along with amazon itself. Dan tells a few great stories in the interview one of which saw him buy two entire Sears stores at 2% retail, with all of his personal capital. The guys also discuss the transition from being a foot soldier to a general within your own business and what eventually lead Dan to the wholesale model. The main message that Dan promotes is being proactive about your business. This goes hand in hand with Joey and Jason’s ethos (hence the title of the show) and the guys discuss at length the importance of making the initial movements towards your goals and maintaining momentum afterwards. So, take note ladies and gentlemen, there was a lot of good stuff in this one. Grind on.

"You should interrogate every minute". This week Joey joins Jason from Fort Knox and the guys start the show with a little bit of a catch up. They talk about how even though they get less opportunities to speak to each other than most friends, their conversations are probably more meaningful because of the podcast. Joey tells us about the new book Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport, and how it suggests that you view your time as a ‘Concrete and valuable substance’. He brings up some points from the book and talks about striking a balance between relaxing and being productive, so as to not waste time. "Think about all the minutes you have wasted this month". Jason then explains the dichotomy in his life that affects a lot of people, in that he felt like half entrepreneur/businessman and half creative hippie and how it has affected his mindset. This leads Joey and Jason to the law of diminishing returns when it comes to time expended and happiness gained. The guys then move on to discussing choices and the constant internal battle with your own hedonism, Jason builds on this by talking about the pressure of the constant growth dynamic and how both cause a strain on your psyche. "If you cant see a path to joy, you might be wasting your time". Joey and Jason then start to discuss the finite nature of the human condition and how all of the extraneous noise of our lives all falls away towards the end. They contemplate the topic for a while and discuss how focusing on spending time with family and friends is a must. If you want to be content at the end of your journey. The logical next step the guys explore is to do with deciding when to sacrifice the required time that allows you to be with your friends and family to the extent that you want. Grind on.
