Curious with Calvin Wayman: Recent Episodes
Calvin Wayman
Raw, Unscripted, and unedited--because real conversations are the best conversations. Brought to you by the author of Fish Out of Water, entrepreneur, and all-around curious dude, Calvin Wayman.
In this show, you get to join authentic, unscripted, and unedited conversations with some of your favorite people around business, tech, tools, people, and pop culture to satisfy all that makes you curious.
What if you could gain control in the exact moment you feel like you’re losing control?
COVID-19 is still in full swing. What we are dealing with is unprecedented. Chances are, while you’re reading this, you’re under quarantine. There are still many questions left unanswered which can lead to many feelings of uncertainty. With that uncertainty, taking care of yourself has never been more important—specifically, taking care of your mental health during this pandemic.
Amidst the uncertainty, if we can find a sense of personal control, forward progress, and a clear headspace, we’ll be setting ourselves up for a huge advantage once this storm clears.
Below are 5 books to help you do just that.
1. Barking Up The Wrong Tree by Eric Barker - The surprising science behind why everything you know about success is (mostly) wrong
This is my favorite book I’ve ever read on success. It’s straight-talk. It’s to the point. It’s nuanced. It’s well researched. And it’s entertaining. It puts you in a powerful frame of mind and puts you in control.
My favorite takeaway: “Self compassion is better than self confidence.” Learning to have compassion for yourself is one of the greatest skills you could ever develop.
2. Ultralearning by Scott H. Young - master hard skills, outsmart the competition, and accelerate your career
What if you could become fluent in a new language in less than 3 months? Or learn how to paint like a pro in less than 30 days, or even build your own video-game? In Ultralearning, you’ll discover you can do just that. Scott H. Young not only shows that you can master very difficult skills, but provides the framework to become an “ultralearner.” (PS, I’m practicing the techniques in the book right now to learn how to play Fur Elise on the piano—even though I’ve never taken piano lessons and I don’t know how to read notes)
My favorite takeaway: The quickest and most effective way to learn is through “directness”—being in the game. Getting on the court. And being okay with messing up.
3. The War of Art by Steven Pressfield - break through the blocks and win your inner creative battles
For any creative-type, this book is a MUST read. It helps you break past the limiting beliefs and BS your brain sneaks into your head space. The core concept Steve Pressfield talks about that holds us back from getting our work done is a little thing known as “resistance.” Resistance is what gets in the way of our most important things, and you break it by “turning pro.”
My favorite takeaway: The professional knows that success, like happiness, comes as a byproduct of work. Do the work for the sake of the work itself. And let the success (or not) come of its own accord.
4. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone by JK Rowling
Yes, I just barely dropped Harry Potter in a list of nonfiction books. But trust me on this, it is deliberate. Through stressful times, I think it’s important to have some sort of release valve. Harry Potter could represent any fiction, but, particularly, I love how Harry is the underdog through so much of the story and how he gets many uncertain situations.
My favorite takeaway: At a meta-level, the writing in Harry Potter is so freaking fantastic! The opening of this book is my favorite opening of any book I’ve ever read. Just read the first page and see how much information JK Rolling is able to portray in a few sentences. It’s incredible.
5. Feeling Good by David D. Burns
As I asked at the beginning, what if you could gain control in the exact moment you feel like you’re losing control? This book is for just that.
Feeling Good has had more impact on my mood than any other book I’ve read in years. It is an amazingly practical book for feeling, well, “good,” regardless of the wild external stimuli we deal with (aka, the things that come from “life”).
It is filled with tools and techniques to help you stay mentally and emotionally sharp.
My favorite takeaway: The key to changing the negative self-talk isn’t through forcing positive thoughts, it’s in first recognizing the thought, and then practicing talking back. It’s not just in “thinking happy thoughts.” It’s noticing the thought, and then literally calling it out. Recognizing why it’s BS.
In times of uncertainty, health (both physically and mentally) is more important than ever. I hope one or all of these books help you a ton.
In closing, what amazing books have you read recently? What book would you add to the list?
"Put your reps in."
This is the central advice Amy Landino gives me in this episode of Curious, where we talk about how to get out of obscurity as a speaker and be recognized as one of the best and brightest.
Amy, who has built a career as one of the most popular productivity and lifestyle Youtubers for over a decade, has now went on to write "Good Morning, Good Life: 5 Simple Habits to Master Your Mornings and Upgrade Your Life" and "How to Vlog Like a Boss", as well as becoming part of VaynerSpeakers with Gary Vee.
She's easily one of the most successful speakers and vloggers in her sphere, and she's here to share with us some highly effective tips on how to build your own career as a speaker in 2020: consistency, content, writing emails to speaking agencies and events organizers, and many many more.
Are you looking to start your career as a speaker? Or an up-and-comer looking to expand your reach in the industry? Give this episode a try, and #StayCurious.
What was one of your toughest lessons from 2019?
Last year was, for some people, quite a challenging one. Not just for me, but for many others too. In this episode, I jam with Mike Sczcesniak. We talk about some of the hardest challenges 2019 dished out, and how we overcame each low point and turned them into growth. We talk about disappointment, missed goals, vulnerability, and never settling for lowering our targets just because we failed to hit them the first time.
We also talk about the #75Hard Program by Andy Frisella, which we're starting this January! If you want to join the group, just head to calvinwayman.com/75hard.
If you’ve ever felt like life has kicked you in the teeth, this is worth a listen. The great news is, we can turn those stumbling blocks into stepping stones, and make way for a brand new year (and a new DECADE) of growth!
And just like that, we’re are at episode 250!! Can you believe it??
It’s been such a fun journey up to this point. Podcasting has been an amazing avenue to learn about amazing topics and people, and even a place to explore myself more.
With that said, there are major changes coming to the show! I talk about them in today’s episode.
If you’re someone that’s listened to even 1 episode, I just want to say “THANKS!”
Now, it’s time to take things even deeper in the quest to making the best podcast ever.

The biggest opportunity in my business over the past year is getting better at marketing.
That’s a fancy of way of saying, historically, I’ve sucked at marketing.
At least, I haven’t been up to par with what I know is possible.
The good news is, I’ve become obsessed with understanding marketing better over this year, and on today’s show, I’m distilling it down to 3 super simple ideas that has helped me understand marketing in a completely deeper way.
No matter what business you’re in, if you want to grow, marketing is one of those “80/20” activities that helps many other things fall into place.

“You’ll never meet your destiny in your comfort zone.”
That line gives the perfect taste of today’s episode.
I’m speaking with Chance Cessna. She’s someone who din’t start off with the best of circumstances. But in her homelessness, to being in debt, depression, and a mountain of other things, she still managed to use her rock bottoms as a platform to build upon.
She declared that she would go from the “pit the palace.” The story is remarkable. She shares not only how she did it, but how others can, too. And the solution might be simpler this you think. This is an episode you don’t want to miss.
#StayCurious
On today’s show, I’m in San Diego hanging out with two entrepreneurs—Dustin Heiner and Sagi Shrieber.

#StayCurious
How do you find your “next step?”
This is a question I get all the time, especially when it comes to people trying to find their passion.
But on today’s short episode, I have the answer (and a challenge) and it might be easier than you think. Let’s dive in :)
#StayCurious
“How do I find my passion?”
“I know what my calling is, but how do I actually go about putting it into action?”
These are two statements I hear ALL. THE. TIME.
On today’s episode, I’m pumped to be chatting with Jessica Leigh in this very area!
Jessica shares the impact she’s making in the world (based on her passion to helping women feel seen and heard), but it gets even better. We also open the hood on her business that makes it happen.
Yup. Unlike ever before, Jessica shares details and strategy and exact “step-by-step” processes on turning that passion into reality.
If you’re someone looking to find your passion, or you already know what it is and you want to make it real, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

“Making money online is so hard!”
Or is it?
Several people seemed to have cracked the code. What’s even more badass is when those people have a giving heart and want to share the goodness with others.
Enter Anik Singal, CEO of Lurn—the future of entrepreneur incubation.
On today’s show, Anik and I get more detailed than I ever have on the under belly that makes an online campaign work. Specifically, we talk about YouTube advertising, and how simple it can be to start a YouTube ad from your cellphone and make real money into your business.

How did a 20 year old kid,
With no prior country music experience, DELIBERATELY go viral and break all the records for a new “country song?”
We’re talking about Lil Nas X, and his insanely big hit song, Old Town Road.
This is something that most singers and song writers for their entire careers will never taste.
And yet, this guy pulled it off—on purpose!
How? How? How? How?
That’s what we’ll dissect. Let’s dive in!
#StayCurious
4 years ago, I quit my day-job cold turkey to pursue my dream of going full-time into entrepreneurship.
The first thing I did was start knocking door-to-door to sell solar.
One of the people that made that opportunity possible was a guy named Bryan Jackson—the founder of Solcius, the solar company I was partnered with.
On today’s show, we talk how Bryan went from starting a company where he was so poor that he rode his bicycle to work—45 miles each way!—to building one of the largest installers of solar in all of the US.
It’s a purely awesome entrepreneurial conversation. I hope you enjoy!

It’s one of the oldest professions in the world.
(And no, not that—get your mind out of the gutter)
It’s something that is needed for every single company to survive.
If you are a parent, you need this to help your kids be awesome AND think it was their idea.
It’s the one skill that even in a recession, if you’re a pro, you will be irreplaceable.
What skill is that?
Sales.
Yup, sales. No matter what you do for a living, if you interact with other human beings, you are in sales.
But how do you actually get better at it?
On today’s episode, I’m chatting with sales ninja Nikolas Elliot, and we are breaking down everything sales.

What holds people back from going after their dreams?
Why do we sometimes sabotage our own success?
One little F-word (and no, it’s not fuck).
Fear.
Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will.
But is it possible to beat it?
One-MILLION-percent! But it’s not how you might think.
On today’s show, I’m answering Fan Questions and sharing how high achievers beat fear, and how you can, too.

Stuck happens.
It’s just the truth.
And what’s true, is I’m feeling that right now.
On this Fan Question Friday episode, I just hit “record” before I even know what I want to talk about.
What that leaves is just pure, brutal, honesty of where things are at.
I usually don’t do episodes like this, but I wanted to share it because it’s real. I hope someone else going through changes in their life sees that they’re not alone.
#StayCurious
Question: what’s the most challenging thing you’ve (deliberately) done to push yourself?
Is it signing up for an insanely difficult race you never thought you would do?
Is it starting a business?
Or perhaps it’s joining a fitness competition, just to see how it changes you?
Well on today’s show, that’s what Elishia Ortiz did. She started competing 2 years ago, and it’s wild the benefits that challenging herself has had in her life.
Life is about finding your limits, but then pushing against them. And you’ll never know the gold nuggets that wait for you on the other side of breaking through.
Enjoy the convo!
#StayCurious
Wow. What a fun conversation!
If you’re new to entrepreneurship, or want to be your own boss, then conversation is a MUST LISTEN.
I’m speaking with Nicola Hill.
She talks about how she went from a freelancer, to getting her businesses acquired TWICE.
The best part is how she talks about growing her business is something ANYONE can do, as long as they have a Facebook account. AND, it’s all done ORGANICALLY.
It’s a ton of fun. Enjoy the show! :)

Is happiness possible without religion?
When you’re from a super religious environment, transitioning out of it can be a super painful experience. You end up leaving something that’s the only thing you’ve ever known.
But, for anyone who’s been thing the struggle after a while, knows that there can become a brighter side.
On today’s show, I’m talking with Navy Seal and keynote speaker Joost Janssen, and we have a super intimate and candid conversation at his house about faith, life and happiness.
It was a ton of fun. I hope you enjoy.
Minor secret reveal:
I’ve been playing with stand up comedy.
Yes. I’ve been getting up in front of the room and seeing if I can get people to giggle.
“But Calvin! How can you do that, you’re not very funny!”
Hush. That is besides the point.
You won’t see it anywhere else on social media because it’s quite early, and it’s just “my” thing—just something I’m trying.
I’m a speaker, so I like things that keep me sharp. Besides, I love the challenge of it all. (Even if it sometimes does feel like you’re getting kicked in the goods.)
Another friend of mine who’s been hitting the comedy scene heavy over this past year is Bryce Prescott. In fact, he just had his first headlining spot!
On today’s show, I’m at his house and we have a SUUUPER rad conversation. It’s not just about comedy, but how the challenge of it translates into other areas of self-development. I think you’ll dig it.

They’re awesome!

In 2013, a small town called Lyons Colorado experienced flooding that people there had never seen before.

The answer may surprise you.
It’s not about having an awesome scheduling software.
And it’s not about “batching” or “repurposing.”
It’s about something much more fundamental. Let’s dive in!

There’s a fine line between pushing yourself and pushing yourself too far.
But what’s the difference? “No pain no gain” after all, right? How do you know when it’s pain for good, or pain for “holy shit this isn’t good?”
On today’s show, that’s what my friend Colie Wasmund and I talk about. She’s competed in two body-building competitions. She shares what she learned from the competitions, but also what we can do differently if we want to avoid the pain that she went through.
It’s a doozy! Enjoy the show! #StayCurious

Did you know you can tell a lot about someone by seeing what’s on the home screen of their phone?
It’s true. But, don’t worry, I won’t be asking to share in the comments what’s on your home screen ;)
One of the apps on my home screen though is Audible. And even deeper than seeing what is on someone’s home screen, you can learn a lot about someone by seeing what books they’re listening to.
So on today’s Fan Question Friday episode, I’m going to pull the curtain back and reveal the last 3 books I listened to on my Audible.
Who knows, maybe you’ll want to add one of them on your next “must reads!”

While in the city that inspires artists from all over the world, I thought I’d to share something I wrote with you—a poem.

What if your flight got cancelled, and you were stranded away from home?
What if the only option to get back home was going to cost you a fortune, or take you several days to fly?
In short, what do you do when life throws seemingly impossible situations at you?
This is what happened to me last week while in Chicago. A few hours before takeoff, my flight with Frontier Airlines suddenly cancelled. No explanation. And no way to make it right.
But then some interesting things unfolded.
I think this story will show that sometimes even in very difficult situations, there just may be a silver lining after all.

That’s the one thing I tell people when they are starting out with anything new.
And the hack to getting around those people? Events.
Events have played a major role in my evolution has an entrepreneur and a human being.

How do you find the answer to the question, “what’s next?”
You can go to Google.
You can read a book.
You can take a psychedelic drug.
I’ve done all 3, and more. ;)
But one of my favorite methods to getting answers to life’s bigger questions is by first getting connected (or rather, “reconnected”) to myself, and then asking questions from there.
And often times the best way to reconnect, is to unplug.
On today’s Fan Question Friday, I’m in Chandler AZ and I’m at the tail-end of something I call a “recalibration”—it’s where I unplug and disconnect from everything else in my life (no text messages, phone calls, emails, social media, etc.) so I can get centered and reconnected with myself.
I share some of the takeaways I got from this time around. I hope it helps. Enjoy! :)

PS., I can hardly believe I’m saying this, but this is already episode 200 of the show!!! I’m so pumped! I guess time flies when you’re staying curious ;)
Have you ever been to Austin?
My friend Chad Molyneux is staying there, and we jam on some of our favorite things about the city.
But Chad is also someone who could be mistaken as a greek god, if he held still long enough and was naked.
He’s the founder of The Health & Wealth Blueprint, which provides a way for high achievers to be insanely healthy.
I’m about to embark on quite the fitness journey myself (I plan to sign up for a men’s physique competition) so I wanted to jam with someone who knows what to look out for.
It’s going to be rad conversation. Join us!

This past weekend I was in Newport Beach, California at Cole and Sanja Hatter’s mastermind.
I’m a BIG believer getting around big thinkers because, after all, you are the average of the 5 people you associate with most.
The thing I love about this mastermind, aside from the amazing group of badass conscious capitalists, but the big thinkers that Cole brings in to speak with us.
Some of these speakers this last time included people like: Bedros Keuilian (CEO of Fitbody Bootcamp), Alex Mehr from Mentorbox, Naveen Jain (billionaire badass), and my man Billy Gene (of Billy Gene is Marketing.)
On today’s Fan Question Friday, I’m going to share my biggest (actionable) take away from each of these speakers. Let’s dive in :)
#StayCurious
Is it possible to change your life on a dime?
If so, how do you go about doing it?
And what if you’re struggling with major life problems like alcohol addiction?
These questions are why I wanted to bring on my friend Jolynn Swafford.
A few years ago, Jolynn discovered this big dude, with big teeth, and even bigger personality. His name? Tony Robbins.
The shifts that have happened in Jolynn’s life are insanely inspiring. We’ll talk about some of them on today’s show.

Where you start determines where you end up.
Right?
At least, that’s what many might say and believe.
But there are “the crazy ones” who chart a different course.
They are underdogs. They come from the wildest of situations, and completely redirect their life.
Enter Zach Bobcock.
Zach is a successful entrepreneur and host of the Underdog Empowerment podcast.
He would know a thing or two about starting out as the underdog.
A few years ago, Zach was serving a multi-year prison sentence, on multiple felony counts.
How did he turn things around? That’s what he and I jam on here in Phoenix on today’s show. It’s gonna be a great conversation. Join in!

Are you an audiobook fan?
On today’s Fan Question Friday, we are diving into the first edition of “what’s on my Audible.”
I’m sharing 7 of the most recent books I’ve listened to.
Are any of them a book you’ve read lately?

Curiosity.
It’s one of the most powerful forces in existence and is often under-rated.
Obviously, with a show title like “Curious With Calvin Wayman,” I’m a major fan of curiosity. ;)
What if you could actually use curiosity to untangle some of life’s biggest problems and conflicts?
On today’s episode, I’m talking with author of the book, “The Curiosity Theory” Martin Lopez, and we discuss how you can do just that.
It’s an amazing, “curious,” conversation. #JoinIn and #StayCurious
I am utterly, completely, and amazingly mind-blown.
Today’s episode, I’m talking with my biz-bestie Haley Burkhead.
She’s 24-years young, but don’t let that fool you. She is a beautiful soul who is also an absolute BEAST when it comes to business.
Do you have to “work your face off” to be successful?
Could “hustling” actually be detrimental to your business?
The conversation explodes my mind several times throughout. If you’re a “creative” or someone who has aspirations of being an entrepreneur, this episode will be invaluable.
It’s a fun conversation. Come get your mind blown along with me. #ListenIn and #StayCurious.
Connecting with bosses!
It’s something that can tremendously enrich your life.
But how do you actually go about doing it?
How can you network with bosses, like a boss?
That’s a question I get all the time, and something I tackle on today’s show for Fan Question Friday.
I’ll share my 3 steps that turn you from an amateur to a boss in networking. Enjoy! :)

Since becoming a full-time entrepreneur, nothing has improved the quality of my life quite like the topic of today’s show: traveling.
Here’s the best part, traveling has NEVER been more accessible to the average person than it is today.
On today’s episode, I’m bringing on not one, but TWO amazing travel boss babes—Kamilia Britton and Alex Jimenez. They both not only share a passion for travel, but they’ve been able to make a business out of it.
We are going to share our love for travel, and also go deeper on how others can access this life-enriching gift.

Hunger.
Sometimes it’s difficult to quantify, but it’s completely undeniable when you see it.
And it’s so unbelievably powerful that it’s incredible inspiring when you see someone utilizing it.
That’s why, on today’s show, I had to bring on my friend Lloyd Dodgen.
This dude is on FIRE right now!
If you want to inspire your pants off, if you want to see the power of hunger in action, you don’t want to miss this conversation. It is absolute gold. Tune in!

Back in my employee job, one of the things that got me through the day was watching TEDx Talks.
It was so awesome to learn from people like Mel Robbins, Simon Sinek, Brene Brown, Dan Pink, or Amy Cuddy.
These talks not only educated me. They inspired me.
One day, I quietly dreamed, “I would give a TEDx Talk some day.”
That day has happened! “The Prosperity Loop: How to get out of debt by spending money” became a reality!
But how did it all unfold? How did the dream happen, and how, if you so choose, could you follow in my footsteps to give your own TEDx Talk?
I pull the curtain back on this episode and share all the secrets!

In today’s show, I’m in Irvine, California—at Dave Meltzer’s office.
Every once in a while you meet someone who is the real, real, real deal.
Someone who has been through some stuff.
Someone who cares about people—for real.
Someone who says it like it is.
That’s Dave.
It’s so refreshing! We’re going to jam on successes and failures. I hope you enjoy the convo!

This is an episode I’ve been looking forward to for a LONG TIME!
On today’s show, my wife Bekah Wayman makes her debut.
We just got back from Tony Robbins’ Unleash The Power Within, and we jam on some of our takeaways from the event—even though our voices are pretty much gone :P

A week ago, I was at Tony Robbins Unleash The Power Within event, and ton of people have been asking about it.
On today’s Fan Question Friday episode, I’m going to share my Tony Robbins takeaways.
I’ll say this: the event surprised me in a lot of ways. You’ll dig this episode. See you on the inside.

Complaining is easy.
It’s easy to look out in the world at all the stuff that could be better.
But here’s the truth—the opportunities we have NEVER been better.
And it’s largely because of this little thing called the internet.
On today’s show, I’m talking with my man, Vova Tess.
Vova is an online entrepreneur, making thousands of dollars through drop shipping.
He’s never spent a second in college.
He figured out how to do what he does using YouTube.
And…he still has 3 months of high school left—he’s 17 years old.
It’s insanely amazing of the opportunities we have, and it’s super cool to see someone like Vova proving what’s possible. This is gonna be a great conversation, if you miss it you’re missing out.

“What are you waiting for?” - This will end up being the theme on today’s episode with my new Phoenix friend, Tommy Baker.

Habits…they make us or break us.
Sometimes they can suuuuper hard to put into place.
But they don’t have to be.
On today’s Fan Question Friday, I share a super simple technique I’ve used to develop habits like: exercising regularly, eating well, and writing 500 words every day.
Habits don’t have to be something that controls you. You can very deliberately and purposefully create habits that support YOU. Here’s how.
#StayCurious
What if there was a process to becoming a thought leader?
As it turns out, there is. And on today’s show, I’m connecting with my friend Mel Abraham and we are talking about just that.

It’s no longer a secret—we can create and attract amazing things into our life through the power of our mind.

A few episodes ago with @Casey Adams, I mentioned how there’s nothing I like better than a paradigm shift.
This is another one of those conversations.
On today’s show, I’m talking with a guy who grossed almost a million dollars of revenue online over the past few months, and he’s 18 years old.
In case you haven’t heard the phrase before, here you go: Age is just a number.

It was in July 2012. In one moment everything in life was happening normally as it should have. And then, something happened that completely turned my world upside down…I faced being killed.
On today’s Fan Question Friday episode, it holds a more serious tone than normal. I’m sharing a story I have never opened up about publicly—until now.
What did I learn from the experience? How has it affected my view on life? I’ll be going over all of that and more. Tune in :)

Love will transform the world.
But, how do you tap into that love, and how do you spread it?

Travel is something that has literally changed my life forever.
My only regret? That I didn’t start doing it sooner!
But, what held me back?
This: cost. At least, so I thought.
I didn’t know how freaking easy and accessible (and inexpensive) traveling really can be!
On today’s show, I’m chatting with a good friend and travel blogger who’s written for major publications like the Today Show, US News & World Report, MSN, etc.—Lyn Mettler.
She’s a badass entrepreneur, and travel ninja. We’re going to talk about how you can actually fly FOR FREE! (In fact, she actually takes up to 6 major vacations a year with her family of 4 for free! It’s bonkers!)
There’s nothing like travel. And hopefully this conversation will be the key to unlocking your trips of a lifetime. The convo is happening now! Join us :)

“What if I don’t hit my vision by the deadline?”
This is the question tackled on today’s Fan Question Friday!
(The answer may surprise you.) Join the convo :)
#StayHungry & #StayCurious
One of my favorite things ever to experience: a paradigm shift.
Whether that’s seeing something new for the first time, or thinking about something in a way I’ve never thought of before, or discovering something that was once deemed “impossible.”
(It’s why I love the 4-minute mile story of Roger Bannister or even why I once signed up for a 50-mile ultra marathon in rain and snow, two marathons in a row, before ever even running a single just to see if I could)
On today’s show, I’m in Phoenix Arizona at a home known as “The Empire House,” to connect with my friend Casey Adams.
Casey is a badass. He’s a hustling entrepreneur who understands business and branding. My favorite part? The paradigm shift? He’s 18.
Yes. 18.
We live in a super rad world, and when you tap into what’s really possible—I don’t know about you but it just tickles my stomach.
This is bound to be an awesome conversation. We’re here in Casey’s wine-closet converted into a studio. Join us!

When I stepped off of the elevator I could hardly believe what I was seeing.
Is that a Rolls Royce off to the right in the living room?
Am I really seeing birds and helicopters fly BELOW me?
“So this is what the 50th floor feels like,” I thought.
That was in Alex Morton’s home in Miami. But here’s the thing that was most exciting about visit: the conversation.
Alex works his ass off, for sure. But he’ll be the first to tell you he’s human. He’s a relatable guy.
On today’s show, you’ll sitting in on the in-person conversation Alex and I have at his kitchen table about business, success, and just life—50 floors above the beautiful Miami ocean.
It’s a gonna be a mind-expanding conversation. Let me know what you think after the episode. Enjoy!

“How do I find my passion?” 😩
This is a question I get ALL. THE. TIME.
And for good reason. It’s an important one. It’s a question that holds a lot of people back.
I know because not knowing that answer to that question is what kept me stuck for far too long.
On today’s Fan Question Friday episode, we “dig in” to this question.
I hope the answer satisfies your appetite ;)
(Haha, after someone listens to the episode, let me know if you caught the past two references)

I saw Elijah speaking about sales at Eric Thomas’s event recently, and I knew he was someone I wanted to chat with. Here is something both of us agree with: You literally can manifest the life that you desire. On today’s show, Elijah Rubin and I talk about how to do just that.
It’ll be a rad conversation! If you’d like to create more magic in your life, today’s show is for you.

One of the most exciting things I’ve learned in my life is this: it doesn’t matter what your past has been; you can still create the life of your dreams.

This will be a fun conversation. Join us :)

This will be one of the most controversial Fan Question Friday episodes I’ve put out.
Last weekend, I was in Miami for @Grant Cardone’s #10XGrowthCon. A ton of people have been asking me what my experience was like.
Did I like the event?
Do I think that Grant Cardone faked his “skydive entrance?”
On today’s show, I share my honest feedback and pull back the curtain on some things that @Grant Cardone probably doesn’t want you to know.
People asked, so here you go.

“Can you learn it, or do you have to be born with it?”
That question can be applied to anything in life.
On today’s show, it’s applied to comedy—and I’m speaking with the Joke Doctor Jerry Corley.
Can anyone learn to be funny?
Can someone be fixed if they break their “funny bone?”
This is what we explore on today’s show. It’s going to be a RAD conversation. Join us!

On today’s show, we’re talking about one of the most important factors to success—getting around other successful people.
The other end of the mic is none other than Greg Reid—founder of Secret Knock.

It’s going to be a great conversation! Join in! :)

Overwhelm.
We all deal with it.
It f*cking sucks. It’s got to be one of the most unpleasant feelings we can experience. It can turn to stress, and also keep us stuck.
In fact, overwhelm was the first major emotion I felt when I landed here in Miami and started exploring.
Today’s show is just a real and raw conversation about the feeling of overwhelm, and what I’m doing to overcome it.
If we’re going after something outside our comfort zone, overwhelm may be part of the journey, but it doesn’t have to stick around for long.
#StayCurious
“Wow. Yes. This.”
That about sums up how I feel about today’s show.
I first connected with this dude a couple years ago at my buddy Lewis Howes’ event. It was at a Cross Fit gym in Columbus Ohio where he kicked my ass (as well as several of my friends who were doing the workout as well.)
It’s Steve Weatherford—NFL Super Bowl champ, husband, dad, and heart-centered leader. He’s a badass, and I’ve been aiming to get him on the podcast for a while. I’m glad we finally made it happen.
It’s going to be a great convo. Enjoy!

Life isn’t always smooth sailing. Something that can steady the tide are the mindsets and tools that we use a daily basis.

Life is a grind.
We can work day in, day out, day in, and day out, and not see much of a change.
Then every once in a while, a little pop happens.
This past weekend, a few things converged that felt amazing!—
From getting to attend the first ever Podcast Awards in Los Angeles (with several celebrities like Mike Tyson, Dax Shepard, Topher Grace, etc.), share my message on stage, and even get a random invite to lunch from the Academy Award Winning Actor, Richard Dreyfuss.
How has this unfolded? I talk about it on today’s Fan Question Friday episode. I hope you enjoy! :)

Public speaking is one of my favorite things to do of all time. A stage is when I feel most “at home.”
And it’s something in 2019 that I want to “turn up a notch.”
So on today’s show, I’m bringing on my friend Dan Lier, the #1 motivational speaker in Las Vegas, to talk about how to book more corporate speaking gigs.
It’s a fun conversation. If the stage is in your future, this conversation is for you.

MAJOR REVELATION: I love comedy. (That’s not the revelation.) But it’s something I’ve gotten more and more curious about over the years.
Whether it’s been from watching Jerry Seinfeld crush it and make it look easy, or seeing some of the greats of our time like Joe Rogan, Dane Cook, or Bill Burr work a room like magic, the curiosity has deepened.
And, the plot now thickens.
For 2019, I decided I’m going to do my first ever standup comedy bit.
Yup.
“But Calvin, you’re not funny. How are you going to do comedy?”
That’s besides the point. I have no f*cking idea how it’s going to go. I don’t how many times I’ll do it, or if it will be “a thing.” All I know is I’m going to do it. At least once.
So, I today’s show I decided to bring on my friend who is fresh on the comedy scene—Tommy Berretz!
I watched Tommy a few weeks ago in Vegas and he crushed it!
He and I are going to talk about comedy and any tips he has for a new person like me to “find the funny.”
It’s going to be a great convo. Join us!

One of the main questions I get is around how to “balance” business with family and loved ones. So on today’s show, I thought I would get a female perspective on the conversation—from none other than Sanja Hatter!

She’s the better half (sorry Cole ;) ) of one of my all-time favorite events, Thrive. She’s an amazing mama, and someone continually stretching her comfort zone (a little while ago, she signed up for a bikini competition just because it was always a bucket list item. Not only did she have the guts to do it with only 88 days to train, but she freaking won!)

We always see major influencers do dramatic things in the world. But wouldn’t it be cool if we could see what their goals were before they actually “made them happen?”

How has this year been like for you?
I don’t know about you, but for me it’s had a lot of ups and a lot of downs, just like a roller coaster.
But that’s what keeps it interesting right? Just a straight line would be oober boring!

SHOCKING FACT: There hasn’t always been a world of Facebooks, Instagrams, and Twitters.
’Tis true.
We’re living through a SUPER interesting time as humans.
And we’ve been through many things in our fast digital history.
Things like: AOL dial-up internet. (Hhhshsskskskhk…*dial up sound. Anyone remember that?)
Netscape.
The Dotcom bubble.
The blogging explosion.
and even something called, White Papers?
All of this and more is covered on today’s show with none other than the founder of Social Media Marketing World himself, my friend Michael Stelzner.
I've been looking forward to this conversation. Being “in it” ever since he was working at Sear (remember that place?) hearing someone say “this internet thing is going to be huge!” and continuing in it 20 years later, Michael is a wealth of digital-wisdom.

Life is multifaceted.
I used to be anything but spiritual, but it’s something I’m getting more and more curious about.
And as I’ve stepped more into my purpose, and listened to my intuition, spirituality seemed to come along naturally.

“Feeling stuck.”
One of the worst feelings ever.
No motivation. No idea what to do or where to turn.
And what can make it that much worse is when it seems to last!
I know the feeling too well. I’ve been there.
Fortunately, though, I’ve also discovered some tools on my journey that have helped me get “unstuck.”
On today’s Fan Question Friday episode of the podcast, I answer what to do when you’re feeling stuck and not sure what to do next. (It may be just the perfect thing to consider before jumping in to the new year.) Enjoy! :)

One of my favorite YouTube channel’s a something called “Charisma On Command.”
If you’ve ever wanted to stand out, become more likable, or persuade people, you’ll LOVE this channel! (Some videos that did with GaryVee and Joe Rogan are some current faves)
On today’s show, I chat with Ben Altman—co-creator of Charisma On Command. (They currently have over 2 MILLION subscribers!) We jam on how he left a job he hated after reading Tim Ferriss’s book “The 4-Hour Workweek” and decided to do life differently.
We get into some of the details of what it was like to start a new business, and how Charisma On Command was born.

Most people in the U.S. will never drive coast-to-coast.
On today’s show, I talk with a couple who did just that.
Only they didn’t drive it. They WALKED it on foot!
Yes.
They walked nearly 3,000 miles!!!
And, if that wasn’t enough, they did it through an ENTIRE pregnancy (giving birth on the journey before picking back on the walking just 5 days later!)
Amanda Autrey and Kolton Rackham are absolute rockstars. They would also be the first to tell you that they are regular people who wanted to challenge themselves—and that is my favorite part.
It just shows what you can do when you put your mind to it.
It’s an amazing conversation! Join us :)
Something wild happened last week - I went 5 full days without food.
I wasn’t stranded in a desert.
I didn’t get lost at sea.
The craziest part is this — it was entirely voluntary!
Yup! I did a full 5-day “water only” fast.
If you’ve never heard of something like that, going 5 days without food might sound completely bonkers.
I get it. I once thought same thing.
But what’s interesting, it’s actually quite doable, and the benefits are many!
On today’s Fan Question Friday episode, I share my experience of going 5 full days without food, and how it was actually easier than you might think.
Join the conversation. :)

Sigh…
This is one of the heaviest podcast episodes.
It deals with pain, confusion, and some of the toughest realities of life—such as abuse, death, and murder.
Every once in a while, the craziest of things comes into our life.
Sometimes, we don’t think some of the most horrible things could come into our world, until they do.
We don’t know where it came from. We don’t know how to even deal with it.
There is no explanation.
Please note: The conversation is heavy, and possibly triggering. Out of any of the episodes I’ve published, this is the first I must put a NSFW warning on.
But it was one my friend Kyree Oliver and I felt we needed to have to hopefully allow the wounded to find healing. And to perhaps invite in meaning and purpose from life’s greatest pains.
In this conversation, Christian Dockstader and I talk about our experiences being on the explorer’s path that we’ve been on.
We go deep in several areas like: Growing up in the same polygamous community, and what it was like to leave, asking life’s tough questions, feeling the call to go out and do something different, and, perhaps most importantly, what it was like to “answer the call.”
We share books and other resources that helped us along the way. We get into spiritual experiences, like doing ayahuasca.
It’s a full episode. If you’re a seeker, if you’re someone who’s felt called towards something beyond the status quo, this conversation is for you.
#StayCurious
It’s Friday!
Every Friday on the podcast I answer a question that someone asks me for the show, or just in life in general. A question that’s been popping up a lot lately is: “What do you wish you would have known when you got started on your entrepreneur journey?”
I answer one main thing. And for those of you daring to go over it, especially with big plans in the new year, it episode can change your life and speed up the process.

What’s even more challenging is when you feel called to show up and impact more people, but you’re weighed down by simple things like finances.
Heather Nieves is another person who’s gone through my Six Figure Secret program earlier this year. She went from constantly worrying about money, to paying off 3 credit cards in a short period of time.
In today’s conversation, we talk about how that’s changed her life, and also how she’s able to show up to help other women become #AuthenticAF. It’s a fun conversation. Join in.

We all have goals and dreams.
But there’s one little thing that either be a tremendous help to achieving our dreams, or a little pester that seems to get in the way.
What is that thing? Our finances.
Money and finances is something that, as Zig Ziglar once famously said, “isn’t everything but ranks right up there with oxygen.”
Money isn’t everything. But in touches everything.
On today’s episode, I chat with Ezra Hammon. He was someone who went from $300 short every week, to having his first $10k month for the first time in his life.
We jam on how he did it. It’s a good convo. Enjoy :)

Yesterday was Thanksgiving.
It’s an amazing time with family and friends, and to reflect on all the amazing things that this life brings us that we’re grateful for.
But, sometimes life throws us things that are, shall I say, unpleasant.
And if you’re like me, you’ve had challenges in 2018. The question is, what challenges or obstacles happened in 2018 that you’re grateful for?
That’s what I discuss in today’s podcast episode for Fan Question Friday.
It’s easy to see what we’re grateful for when it’s awesome. But how can you see the good in a sour situation?

My first business in early 2015 was something around a live-streaming app called Periscope.
Periscope is where I got my first email opt-ins.

Lyme Disease.
What is it?
This is something I’ve heard pop up, but didn’t know much about.
Then a few weeks back, one of my good friends who I was looking forward to seeing at an event wasn’t going to make it.
Why? She was in treatment for Lyme Disease.
On today’s show, I bring on my friend Blaire Ward. She’s a sweetheart with a heart of gold!
Unfortunately, she’s battled illnesses for much of her life, and right now she’s in treatment for Lyme.
There are many questions. And to help educate myself and those in the Curious community, this entire episode is dedicated to demystifying Lyme Disease. It’s an awesome conversation. I hope you’ll join us! ::)

A major question I’ve gotten asked lately is, “How do you find your passion?” Or, How do you get started

Life is unfair.
Sometimes it throws things our way we didn’t ask for, or couldn’t have predicted.
It’s easy for life’s obstacles to throw us off balance
But...what if these things weren’t just obstacles, but actually were opportunities?
This is part of the conversation my friend PJ Dixon and I explore on today’s show.
PJ and I have been friends for several years now. What’s crazy, is even though we don’t talk a lot, it’s like we’re still brothers. We “get” one another, even though there is still much of our backstory we have yet to share.
Today is a fun conversation that shows our dynamic. It’s full of good stuff. I hope you’ll join the conversation :)

Last weekend I got to attend one of the biggest events in personal development.
The event included amazing people like Brendon Burchard, Mel Robbins, Lewis Howes, Jay Shetty, and Tom Bilyeu.
Not only did I get to “attend” this event, but I got to be in the line-up of speakers as well.
The experience was completely surreal.
A question a lot of people have been asking me is: what was my biggest takeaway from the event? What did I learn from speaking at this event with some of the biggest names in personal development?

Here’s the truth: life is f*cking hard.
Oftentimes, it’s unfair.
It’s confusing at times.
What does it all mean?!?
But…what if we looked at things different?
What if life wasn’t happening “to” us, but was actually happening “for” us?
What if we asked for this life before we even came here?
On today’s show, I bring on someone who The Rock once asked if HE could get a picture with—my new friend, Nick Santonastasso.
I met Nick a few weeks back. He’s someone with no legs, one arm, and a MASSIVE drive for excellence and a huge heart.
Immediately I knew he was someone special—someone who is here to literally change the world. At the ripe age of 22, he’s already inspiring hundreds of thousands of people.

Beau Cowan is one of those people.
Beau Cowan has cerebral palsy. Heaven knows life isn’t always easy, but despite those challenges, he’s choosing to not only live a life of positivity, but take control and design the life of his dreams.
He recently got the attention of Gary Vaynerchuk, who flew him to New York City to jam for a little bit.
On today’s episode, Beau and I talk about what it was like to connect with Gary, and also the positive message he wants to share with the world.

When I was in Nashville a few weeks back, I went over to Dave Ramsey’s studios to hang out for the afternoon.
While there, I got to meet a super awesome couple—Kaylee and James Wilson.
They where there to give their “Debt Free Scream” on the Dave Ramsey Radio Show—something I got to do a couple of years ago on the first day of Spring in 2016.
It wasn’t just exciting to hear how they took control of their lives, but also with that freedom how they were blessing the lives of others.
Their story is awesome. Catch it here on today’s show. :)

Many of us want to have an extraordinary life.
But far too often, we get stuck on how to actually get there.

I recently returned home from a week in Columbus Ohio. I attended Lewis Howe’s event, as well as an emotional intelligence training called Next Level.
To say this past week was impactful would be a dramatic understatement.
But I’ve noticed a theme. And in my quest for personal growth, there’s a major takeaway I received from my time in Columbus.

It’s what allows us to grow in an accelerated fashion.
It’s what allows us to process faster than ever.
It’s what allows us to let go of our past, and step into our power.

Everyone of us has something we love to do, and wish we could do more of that instead of “work.”
But, if we really were doing what we love, does that really mean we will work less?
If that’s how you feel, chances are that could just be a clue that you’re not yet in your gift.
Because many rockstars throughout time, not only work hard, but they work obsessively on what they love.
In fact, that’s why you want to do what you love. Not so you can work less. But because if you want to make higher scale impact, it IS going to take a lot of work, and the only way you’ll be able to stick to it is if it’s something you can sink your teeth into.
It’s a fun conversation. I hope you’ll join us! :)

Big disclosure on this episode—I 100% face plant at the very beginning! It’s hilarious.
Also, my buddy Adam Lewis Walker and I talk about something that might be counterintuitive.

Or get paid to speak,
Or make it on some other platform so people can listen to you,

Your message isn’t your resume.
The power is in getting specific, and clarifying your message.

I know something about you the last time you were in the shower.
(Don’t worry…this isn’t going anywhere ‘too’ weird.)
(And don’t worry, I didn’t have any secret gear connected to your bathroom—that’d be creepy. And if you’re conspiratorial minded I would tell you, that’s the government’s job to spy on you, not mine)
In all seriousness, if you’re like most people, you have a lot of cool ideas.
In fact, the last time you took a shower, chances are you had a million dollar idea even before you dried off.
The question is, how can you turn that idea into reality?
We live in a super amazing time, and finding the access to build your idea into something physical has never been easier.
On today’s show, I’m talking with TFN Magré.
He’s part of a company that helps people make their physical product ideas a reality.
He and his company have worked with the top names of entrepreneurship.

We all have people we interact with in our daily lives.
Which means something quite simply—you are in sales.
That’s right.
If you are in a relationship,
If you are a parent,
Or if you work with people,
You are in sales.
And if you don’t like the word “sales,” replace it with, “influencing people.”
Leading people, negotiating, and sales is a vital part to every human’s existence.
But when you’re starting off a conversation where you may need to influence someone, how do you actually stand out?
How do you NOT suck? How do begin the conversation to actually influence them?
That’s what I talk about in today’s show, and the answer may surprise you. ;)

Many of you are doing so much for the little humans of the world. As a mama, you’re a superhero. I know, because I’m married to one.
But sometimes, it’s easy for mamas to put themselves on the back burner in the name of taking care of others.
In today’s podcast conversation, I’m talking with Avi Greene—a mom of 3, and a mom coach.
Avi and I talk about how moms can be the best mom ever, not by finding ways to do more for their kids, but my starting with taking care of themselves first.

It’s where you’re your best version of yourself.

That place is called “home.”
It’s not a physical place, but something internal—and its what my friend Michael O’Neal and I talk about on today’s show. (Michael was episode 1 of the podcast, and now returns as the first repeat guest!)

Everybody wants to feel good more often.
When we have good energy, a clear head, and feeling awesome emotionally, we can conquer the world!
The question is, how can we feel that way more often?
From first-hand experience I can tell you, your energy level are LARGELY influenced by what you put eat.
On today’s episode of the podcast, Stephanie Bosco (The Superfood Goddess) and I talk about healthy eating, and how to transition into a ‘healthier’ lifestyle of eating.
We dive into how we can get ourselves to eat less sh*t and unleash our superpowers with superfoods.
Largely thanks to a plant-based diet, Stephanie has been off of her depression meds for the past 6 years.
And thanks to shifting more to eating whole foods, I lost 50+ pounds.
But success doesn’t always mean massive radical change. It can be MUCH easier than you think.
It can be baby steps—or shall I say, bite-sized steps. And that’s what Stephanie and I jam on here.

We all have points in our life where we realize things aren’t going right.
It could be in a failing relationship, something with your career, or just life in general.
Something in your cut is telling you that something is off.
That’s where Sagi Shrieber was a little bit over a year ago.
In a business that wasn’t working out, which was then spilling over into so many other parts of his life.
But then, Sagi did something really, really rare.
It’s something that shows up in so many stories of successful entrepreneurs, and others who create their vision.
And yet, what he asked himself is something that is not easy to ask.
In the heap of dissatisfaction of everything going on in his life he asked, “what am I going to do about it?”
Asking that question, and then ACTING on it has created things in Sagi Shrieber’s life that is nothing short of remarkable.
I’ve been blessed to be connected with Sagi on a fairly close level the past several months, and seeing him sore has been amazing.

It’s been just over 3 years since I made the decision that would change my life forever:
I jumped.
I jumped. I decided to go after it. I quit my day job to be a full-time entrepreneur and be about creating the life and impact I wanted to make.
I didn’t know ‘how’ I was going to do it. But I just knew I didn’t want to wake up in ten years full of regret—just wondering “what if” I actually went after it.
These past 3 years have felt like 30 years. Probably my favorite thing about the whole journey so far is understanding that it is literally a couple minutes in the first quarter of a long game. We are just getting started.
A question I’ve been getting a lot lately from people looking to “jump” (whatever jumping is for them) is what advice I would tell my younger self?
If I was back at square one trying to decide what to do, or how to do it, what would I tell myself?
That’s why I talk about on today’s episode. I hope you’ll tune in. It’s a good one, and the world is waiting for you to jump into your greatest. See you on the inside! :D

But what can we do to gain more control around our money?
What can we do to (using the words of a friend recently) “get our financial sh*t together?!!”
In today’s episode, I share a super simple but radical idea that I use around money.
It’s the same thing that helped me pay off $53k in debt and something families and entrepreneurs in my The Six Figure Secret bootcamp describe as their favorite thing that shifted everything for them financially.

Every one of us is unique, and we have different passions that we want to pursue.
Actually going after it though can be a tricky process. Following your dream to be an entertainer, for example, may not jive well with your family or others you love.

That’s what Erin Darling (@dahhhhling) and I talk about on today’s show!
Erin is crushing it at life in some many ways. She’s an actress, TV personality, comedian, and podcast host (just to name a few). At the same time, she’ll also be the first one to tell you that she’s human.

If you’re a new entrepreneur or creative, getting your first solid base of “raving fans” can be difficult to do.
It’s a critical piece too, because once you’ve got that base, you have a real business (or career) that can take off.

It’s never been a better time to live life as an entrepreneur.
We have all the tools, resources, and trainings right at our fingertips.
But what “qualifications” do we tell ourselves that we need before actually going after it?
What keeps us from moving forward?
Whatever the “reason” is that we give ourselves, I hope that this episode at the very least shows that when it comes to entrepreneurship and building a business, “age” is just a number.
On today’s show I bring on Josh Felber’s rockstar kids Mia, Cash, and Roman.
They are running and testing out businesses.
They are figuring out branding and design.
And they are selling things like fidget spinners online using “Uncle Russell Brunson’s” clickfunnels.

Human beings are NOT one-sided.
Entrepreneurs aren’t just business people; they also deal with spiritual questions.
Religious leaders aren’t just spiritual teachers; they also have struggles in their family, or other areas of life.
In short, we’re all have many different aspects to our lives. We are multi-dimensional.
It becomes super important then to give yourself the space to explore those different parts of yourself—to become self aware.
That’s what my friend Paul Ramondo and I talk about on today’s show.
Even though we’re both in the digital marketing space, it’s not just business, but filled with conversation of empathy, struggle, and life lessons.
This right here is why I love podcasting.
It’s a true human conversation between two “entrepreneurs,” that goes a little bit deeper than that. Enjoy the show :)

Business can be beautiful and messy all at the same time.
It’s a way to make your mark on the world. But to do that, it takes a lot of “figuring it out.”
It’s a way to design the life you want. But to do that, it requires lots of time and effort.
It filled with products and services, and has its own way of delivering those things.
To make it more “beauty” and less “messy”, it’s understanding this core essential true—business is a ‘system.’
At least, it should be—and that’s what Brad Martineau talk about on today’s episode.
We deep dive into how a business should operate, and what core elements need to be in place (and what they need to be aligned with) to make it work for everyone involved.
This is one of those “holy cow I want to listen to this a second time” kind of episodes. If you have a business or hope to one day in the future, this episode will forever change the way you think of your business.
Enjoy the conversation :)

“What cities will you be hitting over the next couple of months?”
That’s what I answer in today’s episode of Fan Question Friday.

What does money mean to you?
For some, they don’t ever think about it.
For others, it’s the things they can buy.
And yet for others, it’s a way to make a difference in this world. Making an impact. Leaving a legacy. Profiting for a purpose.
That’s what today’s conversation is all about, with none other than Cole Hatter.
Cole Hatter is the founder behind an event that changed my life forever—Thrive: Make Money Matter.
It forever changed my relationship to money, but also exposed me to how people at the highest level think about money and the value they bring to the world.
Since starting the podcast, Cole was someone near the top of my list I looked forward to being on the show. Today’s going to be an awesome conversation, so I hope you’ll join us.
Let’s dive in and talk about making money matter, with Cole Hatter.

Access. Influence. And bacon.
That’s just a “taste” of what today’s episode is all about. It’s full of “bacon-wrapped wisdom!” (Insider info you’ll get from the episode, or if you know Brand Costanzo)
Getting to have amazing conversations like this one is why it’s epic to have a podcast.
In today’s show, Brad and I talk about a variety of principles, tips and tools that a growing entrepreneur can use. It’s a sizzling good show. Enjoy!
#StayCurious
How can you gain more self-confidence?
How can you manifest more of your dreams and make them more real?
How can you influence more people?
I talk about all three of these things on today’s “Fan Question Friday” episode.
The best part? The answer is super simple. Enjoy the show!
#StayCurious
It’s super cool when I can take a step back and reflect on the richness of life over the past 3 year—especially when it comes to how I’ve evolved as a human being.
What many people don’t know, though, is someone who’s had a MAJOR part in my evolution.
It’s this guy, Ryan Walsh.
Much of the habits I’ve developed (whether it’s how I goal-set, or the habits I used to write my first book) was sparked with Ryan. (I even make the connection in this episode that he’s the one who sparked my speaking career!)
At any rate, not only has he had a major impact on what I do, we always have super interesting conversations every time we get together.
This time I recorded one of our convos, and it’s a good one.
If you’re someone who has ever approached burn out, or you’re curious about better ways to approach life, you’ll enjoy this episode.
See you on the show :)

Here’s something I know more than anything…you are the only YOU there is.
Yes, we all have parts of different people.
Yes, our environment shapes us.
But at the end of the day, each of us is unlike any other.
With that said, it might be a good idea to discover who you actually are.
What makes you, you?
On today’s episode, this is a major theme that Tyler Harris and I talk about—self-awareness.
There is no one path to success.
There is no one way to live life.
But there IS only one you, and a best way for YOU to live YOUR life.
I hope this episode gives you some guidance in your journey to finding self-awareness.
#StayCurious
Negativity.
It gets the best of us.
Truth be told, in our connected world, it’s all around us.
But…
The worst part isn’t when “negative Nancy” is our roommate, our mom, or the media.
The worst part is when that voice is in our own head.
We can often be our own worst critic.
And the really, really, really shitty thing is when that voice becomes so loud, and it puts us in a mental rut we can’t seem to get out of.
Here’s the great news: there’s a way to break in.
In today’s show, I share a technique I use to break the negative thought cycle, and get back on track.
I hope it can help you as well. Enjoy!! :D

Something I’ve been curious about for quite some time but still very much a virgin in the topic is…REAL ESTATE.
I decided to bring on my favorite red-headed friend onto the show…Bob McIntosh.
(Btw, did you know even with a name like that his preference is still Windows and not Mac??)
Aside from several things that make Bob interesting, one thing is he is a beast when it comes to the real estate space.
He and I talk in easy terms what the landscape is like, and what a novice like myself can do to get started.
If you’ve ever been curious about Real Estate, this is a show to get the conversation started. Enjoy

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again—it’s INSANE in such a good way what our bodies are capable of.
What’s undeniable as well is how our bodies and minds are interconnected.
When you do something to push your body, you’re not just pushing your body. You’re pushing your mind as well.
That’s what we’re talking about today. I bring on my friend who knows a thing or two in this area—world champion Jessica Crate.
Today’s episode is full of goodness with one major focus in mind—cultivating the champion mindset.
Enjoy! #StayCurious
I’m up in Park City, UT.
I just barely finished what I call a “recalibration weekend”—a time where I disconnect from absolutely everything and reconnect to myself.
In this episode, right before checking out of my room, I share some of the deep insights that have come from this weekend.
I hope you enjoy.
#StayCurious
People are pretty badass. We are capable of way more than we give ourselves credit for.
Whether it’s building a business,
Breaking a world record,
Doing something to get out of our comfort zone
Or designing the life of your dreams,
Chances are if you can conceive of it, can believe in it, you can achieve it.
Sometimes it just takes someone to come by every once in a while to remind us what we’re actually capable of.
That’s what Whitney Powell does on today’s show.
She’s known as “Iron Will Whit.”
Some people called me crazy for going from running a half marathon (13 miles) to a 50 miler.
Whitney, went from from a marathon, straight through to 100! Yes, 100 miles.
And besides stretching her comfort zone, she’s designing the life she wants doing what she loves.
She’s an amazing inspiration and a great reminder that we are more capable than we think we are.
Enjoy the show :)

What medium catches more American’s attention than anything?
Magazines? Nope.
TV? Nope.
If you guessed audio, you’d be right.
There is a rise in audio.
And including AM/FM Radio, podcasting, and Alexa skills, an estimated 9 out of 10 Americans are listening to audio.
Today, I bring on the Chief Marketing Officer of iHeart Radio. I connected with her after she spoke at SXSW this year in Austin TX, and I just had to bring her on the show to talk about the star of the union around audio.
It’s a super interesting conversion. Enjoy :)

What if you could go back in time and give advice to your younger self on something you broke through? What would it be?
A major thing I’ve focused on in the past several months is health and fitness.
When I started my weight loss journey, I knew what I wanted, but I didn’t really know where to go or what to focus on.
What would I tell my younger self who is about to embark on this journey?
In this episode, I share the 10 things I would tell myself. I hope it helps you on your journey as well.

What can you do to build your personal brand online?
That’s exactly what Caloni Michelle and I talk about on today episode.
Enjoy the show! :)
Human beings are creative creatures.
Sometimes though, it can be difficult to feel like ourselves personally are creative.
It’s easy to compare ourselves with other creative types, and then mistakingly think they were just born with it, or that we couldn’t get to that level.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
As someone who has sucked in the beginning at virtually everything I’ve ever tried in life at first, and then getting recognized for my creative work (whether in my book, my YouTube Show, podcast, or speaking),
I know that becoming a world class creator is possible.
That’s the conversation Sean Cannell and I just had.
We talked about how to hone your skill as a creator, particularly in video.
The conversation was deep, and fresh!
The best part?
We recorded the whole thing for you. Yup! It’s today’s show on the podcast.
Pop on your favorite sneakers, pop in your airbuds, and join the conversation. :)
#StayCurious
Our human bodies are pretty amazing. We can do things we probably would have never dreamed of.
Running in a 50-mile race was that for me.
Yes, 50 miles—that’s two marathons in a row.
But there’s part of my 50-mile journey some people don’t know—that I was actually pulled from the race.
Yep.
Pulled. “DFN’d” as they call it. Did not finish. Disqualified.
But if that happened, did I still run 50 miles? And how is that possible?
I share all those details in today’s show, and why it ended up being the most empowering part of my 50-mile journey.
Whatever major thing you’re tackling in your life right now, I hope this will help you realize you’re more badass than you give yourself credit for.
#StayCurious
Happiness in life is heavily linked to healthiness.
But health isn’t just physical.
In fact, an emerging conversation in health and happiness is mental health.
Anxiety and depression is something many of us deal with at different times of our lives.
But it shouldn’t be something that is viewed as shameful, and certainly not something we should feel compelled to tackle alone.
In today’s show, I bring on Kelly Ruta—a psychotherapist turned mindset expert—and we begin the conversation around mental health.
This is an important conversation, and one I hope to continue on to deeper with the show. Enjoy!
#StayCurious
You probably never would have thought an episode could get more diverse, and more epic.
In today’s longform show, TJ Reeves and I have a very transparent conversation—discussing everything from masturbation and how it might be linked to depression in men, the power of the mind, and what it means to discover absolute truth.
When I started this podcast, it was for conversations just like this one. You won’t find another unfiltered, unedited, candid conversation like this one anywhere else.
If you’re a fan of the real and raw (not to mention useful), this episode is for you. I imagine today’s show is going to be one that gets the most messages to date.
Grab your coffee. Or suit of for your gym time. This is a long one, and worth every minute. Enjoy!

Human beings are naturally creative.
We all have million dollar ideas—sometimes several of them even before we get out of the shower in the morning.
What can we do to get more of them off the ground, and much sooner than you might think is possible?
That’s what I talk about in this episode. I share something that Lewis Howes taught me in August 2015 that change my life forever.
If you’ve ever gotten stuck with getting one of your products, services, or projects off the ground, this episode is for you.
#StayCurious
Here’s something I know for sure:
Life is not always sunshine and rainbows.
Sometimes we get smacked in the face.
In fact, this is something that probably instead talked about enough.
Too often, we only see the success. We don’t see the adversity.
That’s why I’m so pumped to bring on today’s guest, Kolby Kay.
I met Kolby and an event we both spoke at several weeks back.
When I saw him speak I was like, “yaaaas!” He wasn’t just flashing the Lamborghinis and money.
He was just telling it like it is, speaking real and raw.
If you’ve ever been through a tough time, I think you’ll like this episode.
#StayCurious
If you follow me on the podcast or on social media, chances are you’re like me—you’re a “crazy one.”
You’re someone who is actually crazy enough to believe that you can change the world.
That might lead you into being a creator, or an entrepreneur.
And that’s great! Pursuing your calling is not only noble, but courageous.
After getting started the question becomes, “now what?”
How do you grow whatever you’ve started?
How do you take it from one level to the next level?
Whether that’s taking your idea to execution, or your “pretty okay” business to something scalable, how do you actually go about do that?
If this dilemma sounds familiar, than I couldn’t think of a better way to start your week than with today’s conversation with my man Chris Duncan.
Here’s the main theme of the conversation: what got you here won’t get you there.
Grab your coffee, and let’s dive in!

It’s no secret, you are the average of the 5 people you associate with most.
But if you’re looking to level up your circle, how do you go about doing that?
How do you found your amazing circle?
The answer: attend events.
In today’s episode of Fan Question Friday, I share four of my all-time favorite events that every entrepreneur should attend.
I hope you can use this episode to up level your circle, and your life.
#StayCurious
(PS., if you’re an established entrepreneur do you agree with this list? Are there any you would add to this list?)
Have you ever listened to a good podcast show that after a while got pretty boring?
It wasn’t the host’s fault, or the guest’s fault. It was just the same old structure over and over.
Well, today’s show is NOT that.
My friend Bryce and I have a conversation that is completely real, raw, and unscripted—and we recorded the whole thing for you.
Let’s just say, we go “ball deep” in this episode (no I did not miss the “s” on the word “ball”—inside joke that only listeners on the podcast will get ;) )
Anyways, today’s show reflects why I’m falling more, and more in love with what I get to do.
This conversation is a blast! Join in :)

Simply put, my friend Michelle Lewis is awesome!!
If you’re looking for a one convo to start your week, grab some coffee, or put on your kicks for a run, and join Michelle and I as we discuss all-important topics like:

In all seriousness, we also ask questions like what is entrepreneurship really like? How do you break through tougher times and setbacks? How do you create the life you want?
We just have a blast, and we hope you’ll join us. Come on in to the convo, and add your two cents. :)

What’s intermittent fasting? How do I use it to stay healthy? This short show is about just that. :)
In May this year, I was invited to speak at the first podcast only event I’ve ever attended.
It was hosted by this guy, Ever Gonzalez.
The thing I love about today’s conversation is Ever left the corporate world, started his own company, sold it, and is now living the life that he designed.
Whether it’s getting to connect with amazing people for his podcast, hosting events, coaching his kids’ soccer games, or travel with his family, it’s on his terms. He’s living the outlier life.
I hope you enjoy today’s show :)
Are you getting done what deep down you know needs to get done?
I’m not talking about a to-do list.
I’m talking about the deepest calling of your soul.
Are you caught in the whirlwind of life, or are you purposefully progressing towards your life’s mission?
Well in today’s show, Geoff Woods is in the house.
If you’re looking to gain clarity on what you’re meant to do, you’re in the right place.
It’s no accident you’re seeing this. Put on your headphones and even if you’re walking, “buckle up.” This is a good one.

It’s it possible to go from a night owl to a morning person?
If you’re used to sleeping in, is it possible to switch to getting up at 6:00a, or even as early as 4:30a?
Those are questions I asked myself, and I was committed to figure it out.
On this episode of Fan Question Friday, I share what I’ve done to get myself to finally crack the code.
For years, I would sleep in til 9:00 or even 10:00. Now, I get up at 4:30am. :)
Whatever the time is that you want to get up, I hope today’s show will help you crush your target.
When you win the morning, you win the day.

Several months ago, I was on a very exploratory path.
I knew big changes were coming in my life—not only in business, but also with deciding to remove myself from the fundamentalist religion I was in for the first 30 years of my life.
That’s when I bumped into Regan Hillyer. She was speaking at an event we were both attending, and we found ourselves at the back of the room discussion how our outer world is governed by our internal world.
From that conversation, several fears I had around “facing” my internal world just melted away. It led me on a journey to Costa Rica and beyond, which even ultimately led me to starting this podcast.
The conversation Regan and I have is so needed! This kind of talk isn’t discussed enough in the world of achievement. I hope you enjoy the show :)
This guy is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever met. It’s fascinating to see!
There’s a chance you’ve eaten at one of his restaurants, or you’ve seen him somewhere on daytime TV.
Or you probably seen him on the hit TV series Top Chef.
Introducing the one and only, Fabio Viviani.
This guy’s story is insane. You’ve got to hear where he’s come from, and what he’s conquered.
On this episode, I speak with Fabio about what keeps him going, how he gets primed for the day, and how he crushes major goals.
He also just barely launched a new social media app called Dopple! Trust me, this is an episode you don’t want to miss! Enjoy!!

I have one main thing to say.
The best diet is not “The Dukan Diet.”
It’s nothing “keto.”
It’s not “vegan,” and it’s not whatever worked for one of your friends to lose a lot of weight.
The best diet is this: the one that YOU can follow.
On today’s show, I share what I believe is the fatal flaw with any diet you may have tried, and how I cracked it to not only lose 50 pounds, but since then (knock on wood) kept it off!
Enjoy the show :)

Something I’ve learned over the years is this: principles are principles. Age is just a number. When you put principles to work through action, great things come from it.
That’s what today’s show is about.

He’s in a successful businessman,
He’s made millions of dollars,

We often see amazing people up front, but rarely see those behind the scenes that are a massive piece in “making it happen.”
For every @Tai Lopez, there’s a @Maya Burkenroad.
For every @John Lee Dumas, there’s a @Kate Erickson.
And for the fast talking dude we all love who sold $3M+ in sales at @Grant Cardone’s event (aka @Russell Brunson), there’s the righthand man @Dave Woodward.
Now of course there are often MANY many team members where there’s an empire, and this is taking nothing from the amazing people we see up front, but they would be the first to tell you how appreciative they are for their people who help make it all happen.
Dave is one of those people.
He and I met about 3 years ago now, and to me he feels like an older brother. Every time we get a chance to connect it’s good vibes and good times.
He was kind enough to invite me onto Funnelhacker Radio for episode 50, and this is me aiming to get him close as possible as to that number on my podcast so I could to return the favor. Here we are for episode 52 with Dave Woodward. I hope you enjoy the show! :)
#StayCuriousMyFriends
Here’s something many people don’t know.
A few years ago, I held a company record for the WORST performance a sales agent ever had.
I was so afraid of putting myself out there on social media, that I didn’t even have a profile picture of myself.
I wanted to write a blog, but for fear that someone would know it was me, I had an alias for the author (“Cobbes Warfly” baby), and God forbid someone would actually read it, I even kept the articles PRIVATE!
Truth be told, I was a natural born introvert through and through.
So the question is, how have I since jumped into entrepreneurship, put myself out there on social media every single day, delivered talks in front of thousands of people, and even start this podcast?
That’s what today’s show is all about. If you’ve ever felt introverted with a dream, I hope you can use this episode to help you become more confident—whether it’s from stage, on social media, or in life.

The BIG 50!
Can’t believe we are already 50 episodes into the podcast.
It was fun spending it with my brother from another mother, Billy Gene of Marketing.
(Speaking of “mothers,” Billy has me share what it’s like to have four moms.)
If you’re on Facebook at all, you’ve likely seen Billy’s creative ads. I love his style because he brings more humor and entertainment to the world of entrepreneurship.
It’s a fun conversation. I hope you enjoy! :)

This is a question I get often, and I address it on this episode of Fan Question Friday.
Chances are if you follow my content, you’re someone who feels called to step up into the world.

Yo yo! Happy Friday peeps!
I decided to do something fun on this Fan Question Friday (and I’ll probably do this more and more).
I wanted to give you, my podcast listeners, INSIDER INFO—stuff that I’m working on or things that are going to be announced BEFORE IT’S ANNOUNCED.
That’s right.
Before anyone knows about it on Facebook, or Instagram, or in many cases even before I talk with people about it in PERSON, I’m going to share it with you my podcast audience FIRST.
In this episode, I share something that literally the only other person I’ve shared this with is my wife.
The announcement will be coming out in a few weeks, but you’re catching it here first on Curious With Calvin Wayman.
Also, my man David Martinez asked a super great question on this episode: “What is one small step you’d recommend for someone looking to get out of debt?”
I answer that question and more on this episode. Enjoy the show!!

Richie Norton is a special soul.
He’s one of those people that when you see him you just know, “life is good.”
On this episode, he and I jam on a variety of topics.
He’s becoming a great friend and we just have an amazingly great time.
There’s a dream I’ve had for a while, and this episode puts me one MAJOR step closer.
What’s that dream? Delivering a TEDx Talk.
For years, I’ve been mesmerized by TED Talks.
Whether it was seeing Simon Sinek talk about Starting with Why,
Or Amy Cuddy on “power poses,”
Or Daniel Pink talking about what really motivates us,
These talks have cut deep and had a massive influence in my life.
So I want to do the same and give back through delivering my own “idea worth spreading.”
On today’s show, I connect with someone who is the CEO of a speaker agency, a TEDx speaking coach, and a dear friend.
Introducing the one and only Erin Loman Jeck. Let’s dive in!
This is hands down my favorite Fan Question Friday episode EVER.
The things I share episode people have invested $3,000 for a single afternoon to share this with them.

[CRAZY WAY TO GET OUT OF DEBT BY SPENDING MONEY]
We all have financial struggles at times. We’re not all where we’d like to be.
There’s that next level we want to hit, and it can be frustrating trying to figure out how to get there.
I know, because I felt the same way.
But two years ago something amazing happened. My wife and I were invited on the Dave Ramsey Show to do something that has been one of my favorite moments of my life—yelling “We’re Debt Free!”
The road was rocky, life is far from perfect even now, but through intensity we made it happen.
How?
What if I told you that the key to gaining control of your finances wasn’t actually in saving your money, but in spending it?
Crazy, right?
Well, this radical idea is that’s exactly what I did to pay off $53,000 in debt in less than 3 years.

That’s what we deliver in this episode. Enjoy the show :)
[WHAT IF YOU COULD BE A MILLIONAIRE BY AGE 16?]
Some people ask me what made me write my first book.
In all started because of this next guest.
A couple years ago, I came across this guy named “Caleb Maddix.”
It turns out, he was doing things that I wanted to do.
He was being interviewed by people I admired like Grant Cardone.
He was speaking on stage with people I look up to like Gary Vaynerchuk, or Tony Robbins.
He had a 6-figure+ business.
And he was an author.
But the craziest fact of all? Get this:
He was only FOURTEEN. YEARS. OLD.
Yes, you read that right. Not 40. 14.
It was that day I realized I no longer had any excuse, and “Fish Out of Water” was born.
Today, Caleb is 16. We’ve had the privilege of sharing the same stage at a couple different events and he’s become a good friend.
He’s proof that age is just a number. As long as you provide value to others you will min.

[HOW DID I LOSE THE 45 POUNDS? THE ANSWERS MIGHT SURPRISE YOU]
After being a regular guy struggling with my weight for years, how did I FINALLY drop 45 pounds? Better yet, how have I kept it off 8 months later? (Actually even dropping a little more--I’m down about 54 pounds right now)
Earlier this week, I shared a video of the day I finally got to get a haircut after reaching my 45-pound weight loss goal.
That’s when the questions started flooding in:
“How did you do it?!”
“What diet did you do?!”
“Was it more eating or exercise?!”
I go over all of that in this episode, and the answers might be more surprising than you think.
Enjoy!! :D

You know how every once in a while something crazy happens and you’re like…whoa! Did that just happen??! What a coincidence.
That’s what happened with me and our next guest Chris Harder.
This is kinda crazy.
So imagine when we randomly bump into someone we know in a grocery store. We’re pleasantly surprised—let alone if you meet them an another event in the same city, or even the same state, right?
Well get this, a couple months ago, Chris and I literally bumped into one another—in a completely different country! We were both traveling to Costa Rica for different reasons, and amongst thousands of people we crossed paths.
Insanity.
That was the day Chris and I talked deeply for the first time and I knew I needed to have him on the podcast.
The conversation we had around money was also SO needed! I loved it.

How do you go out and “do your own thing?” What does the process look like to becoming an entrepreneur?
In this episode, my buddy Frankie Vignone and I have a conversation about our respective entrepreneurial journey. It’s crazy how much they overlap. I hope you love this episode!
3 years ago I found myself depressed and scared out of my mind.
I wanted so desperately to make an impact on the world.
I wanted to become an entrepreneur, and not be an employee anymore.
I wanted to be able to travel, to speak, and get paid to speak. To write a book. To get my message out to the world and also make a positive difference.
What was holding me back? Fear.
I had fear, and lots of it. It was suffocating me. It was the only thing stopping me from daring to go after it.
I started to feel depressed if I would actually ever be able to create this life I wanted.
I heard all these stories from successful people on how to do it, but was it true? What about someone like me who’s just a regular dude? Could I really make a difference?
Does any of this sound familiar?
Do you feel like there’s something you’re meant to share with the world, but not sure how to go about it?
Is it even possible to do?
In today’s episode, I open up about my journey. If you’re someone who’s looking to make a change in your life, this episode is for you.
