This week we have a very thoughtful guest who will be discussing something a bit different from normal. Brad Warner is an ordained Soto Zen priest, a bass player in a punk band, and the author of several wonderfully-titled books about Buddhism. In 1993 he moved to Japan to learn more about Zen and also […]

Last week on Hardcore MBA we talked with Jim DeFelice, the writer of American Sniper, which famously told the story of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle.

Jim DeFelice’s name might not be too well-known to you, but if you’re a fan of bestselling books or insanely popular movies, you’ll probably know his work. Jim was Chris Kyle’s ghostwriter on the bestseller American Sniper, which was recently turned into a blockbuster Clint Eastwood movie starring Bradley Cooper. On top of that, Jim is amazingly productive, […]

It’s always fun for me to talk to another entrepreneur who has taken a similar path to mine – and that’s why I’ve called Justin Cooke for this week’s Hardcore MBA. Justin’s business, Empire Flippers, is based in Davao City in the Philippines, just like my own Mr. Outsource company. However, he does something a little bit different. […]

Business isn’t a machine that runs like clockwork. I’m a big proponent of making a detailed business blueprint before you get started, but even with the best planning we need to account for the unaccountable. For human behaviour, human habits, and, most importantly, human error. And the role of human behaviour in business is exactly what this week’s […]

We have a lot of great guests on Hardcore MBA, and many of our listeners will already have heard of at least some of them through reading blogs about entrepreneurship and business. But it’s rare for us to get the founder of a brand which is a true household name. Brian Smith is exactly that, having kickstarted the […]

Today we live in a fame economy. Getting your products known means getting your personal brand out there and becoming a celebrity in your particular niche.

This week’s guest, Tayo Rockson, is what we call a ‘third culture kid’. Having lived in Nigeria, Burkino Faso, Sweden, Vietnam, and the US, he came to understand that it’s our differences that make us strong, and now he encourages others to use their diversity to emphasize their own strengths. He’s a very warm guy with […]

JC Maldonado is the Chief Executive Officer of BizGro Partners and an expert in (more commonly know as B2B)business-to-business sales and marketing.

Networking is one of the most important things we can do as entrepreneurs – the quality of the people we know will, to a large extent, determine how successful we are. In fact, I’ve always said that we are the sum of the six people who are closest to us – and for that reason, […]

Keeping yourself productive is one of the biggest challenges for the entrepreneur, especially if you’ve been used to working in a different environment previously. Being your own boss can easily end up being just like having an extremely lenient boss who lets you spend all day browsing cat videos on YouTube without getting dressed, until […]

I often say that being an entrepreneur requires a certain amount of bravery – you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone and take action if you want to see success. But on today’s podcast we have a guy who’s braver than most. Kevin Maurer is a military reporter and the […]

A lot of us entrepreneurs are perfectionists – we all want to be the absolute best possible version of ourselves. And this often manifests itself in the various diets and exercise fads we end up following – paleo, raw food, long-distance running, and so on. But can we go too far when it comes to […]

Mitch Axelrod and I were recently thrown together in some slightly odd circumstances regarding a cruise I had to miss out on – you’ll hear more about that at the start of the podcast.

One of the greatest things about becoming an entrepreneur and living the freedom lifestyle is the ability to go anywhere, anytime. Most of us dream about travelling and seeing the world, but it can seem like a faraway fantasy when you’re stuck in a day job. Sabrina Iovino is one person who wasn’t prepared to […]

We’ve all seen those movies and TV shows where the hypnotist swings his pocketwatch from side to side, puts another character in a trance, and gets them to do whatever he wants – until, with a click of the fingers, they’re awake again and have no recollection that they were pretending to be a chicken […]

Mike Michalowicz is a funny guy, and funny guys can usually get away with being a little less serious about their work because their natural charisma pulls them through. Mike, however, is not like that. It’s rare to meet a guy who can be as light-hearted as he is while also providing an in-depth analysis […]

It can be hard to find great guests for Hardcore MBA sometimes – people who have walked the walk rather than just talking the talk. So I’ve been looking forward to having Dan Pena on the show since the day we arranged it, because he is the definition of walking the walk – after all, […]

A lot of the guests we have on Hardcore MBA have been entrepreneurs for many years now, and have had the time to build established, successful businesses. They have a lot to teach us about how to create a freedom lifestyle, but it can sometimes seem a long way away if you’re just starting out. […]

One of the worst possibilities in the world for me is for things to be one-dimensional. Sure, we all want to make money, build better outsourced teams, and improve our sales techniques – but you can’t spend all your life thinking about business. That’s not balanced – it takes away the whole point of being […]

Some people take a while to learn the ins and outs of entrepreneurship, and slowly adapt themselves to the way of life of the freedom business owner. For others, it comes more naturally.

As entrepreneurs, we put a lot of focus on the mind – we understand that we need to be smart, creative, and balanced if we’re going to succeed.
