Behind the Brand with Bryan Elliott: Recent Episodes
Bryan Elliott
Founded in 2008, Behind the Brand with Bryan Elliott is a show about innovators, entrepreneurs and the stories behind their success. It's like a backstage pass inside the minds, companies and habits of some of the smartest and most interesting people on the planet. Host, Bryan Elliott decodes these stories to help you turn their wisdom into practical tactics that you can use to improve your life and grow your business.
Why do this? I'm someone who loves to tell stories that I hope will inspire and educate others to find their reason for being. I basically invented the podcast I wish I had when I quit my corporate job and started my own business. I made a lot of mistakes and figured things out the hard way. I've been inspired by so many of my guests and I know you'll find a ton of value here as well.
I love the quote from Mark Twain: "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." My mission thru my video series, podcast, talks, book(s) etc. is to help people discover their purpose and find joy and fulfillment.
James Dumoulin built one of the biggest interview brands on the internet by walking up to strangers and asking how much money they make.
He co-founded School of Hard Knocks in 2021 with his brother Jack and friend Joshua Smith. The early channel gave business advice and stalled around 25,000 followers. So James flipped the format. He started cold-approaching millionaires and billionaires on the street, pointed the camera at them, and let them talk. His 2022 Mark Cuban interview changed everything.
Today School of Hard Knocks reaches more than 17 million followers and over 4 billion views across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. The clips run under five minutes. The business behind them runs on four engines: ad revenue, brand partnerships, high-ticket consulting, and School of Mentors, a paid community of nearly 6,000 entrepreneurs. In August 2025, James reported his biggest month yet, with 700,000 dollars in revenue and 400,000 in profit. At 23, he became a millionaire and put his first major check into a 200-unit apartment complex in Texas.
In this conversation, we cover the pivot, the real hit rate on cold approaches, the money behind the views, and what hundreds of interviews with the wealthy taught him about building wealth of his own.

Brendan Kane built a social media following of one million people in 30 days. Not with a big budget. Not with a team of 40 like Gary Vaynerchuk. Just relentless testing and a framework most people overlook entirely.
Kane is the founder and CEO of HookPoint and the author of three books: "1 Million Followers," "Hook Point: How to Stand Out in a Three Second World," and "The Guide to Going Viral." He has spent over 20 years decoding what makes content break through on social media, and his findings might surprise you.
In this episode, we dig into why storytelling is the only metric that matters, how formats rooted in 1920s entertainment still dominate today's feeds, and why 99% of creators are focused on the wrong things. Kane explains the science behind the three-second hook, what the algorithm is actually looking for, and how a creator with 10 followers can outperform one with 10 million.
We also get into the costly mistakes brands and entrepreneurs make when trying to grow on social, why copying what works for someone else usually fails, and how to find the format that fits your personality and goals before you create a single piece of content.
If you are trying to build a personal brand, grow an audience, or figure out why your content keeps falling flat, this one is for you.

Robert Greene has sold over twenty million copies of The 48 Laws of Power. His books are favorites of rapper 50 Cent and millions of people trying to get a grip on the dynamics of power. They've also been banned in prisons. He doesn't lose sleep over any of it.
In this episode, Greene takes me through the winding road that led to his first bestseller: 60-plus jobs, years living across Europe, a brutal rejection from a magazine editor, a stint in Hollywood watching power moves play out up close, and finally, a sunny afternoon in Venice where he improvised the pitch of his life to a book producer he'd just met.
Greene talks about why making yourself indispensable is the most important of his 48 laws, and what that actually looks like in practice. Don't make people like you. Make them need you. Spread your roots across a company, build a skill set nobody else has, and become the person who's too costly to lose.
He also gets into how he's handled critics throughout his career, the difference between knowing your life's task and being a con artist, and why every bad boss, dead-end job, and rejected manuscript ultimately ended up in his books.
His newest book at the time of this recording was The Daily Laws. Nothing in his career, it turns out, was wasted.

Most executives treat sleep as a variable. Something to compress when things get busy. Something to fix later. That’s the ROI brain talking: Sleep is overhead, not output.
The science disagrees. One in three people globally struggle with sleep, and the effects are not limited to grogginess. Poor sleep is linked to cognitive decline, impaired decision making, elevated anxiety, weakened immunity, and early onset dementia. If you aren’t sleeping well, you aren’t operating well. Full stop.
This is the market that Somnee is building into. The company was founded by four UC Berkeley neuroscientists, including Matt Walker, arguably the world’s leading expert on sleep science. Its product is a headband, worn for 15 minutes before bed, which reads your brainwave activity through clinical-grade EEG sensors on your frontal cortex, then uses neurostimulation to recalibrate your brain toward sleep-ready states.
Tim Rosa, Somnee’s CEO, describes it simply: If stress has your brain running at the equivalent of 220 beats per minute, the device reads that and brings it back to 90. It’s not a sleeping pill. It’s not a sleep tracker. It is the first consumer device that reads your brain and rewrites it.
“Sleep is foundational to overall health,” Rosa told me. “Not getting enough of it creates a cascade of problems. And you’re starting to see more research connecting poor sleep quality to cognitive decline as you age.”
The NBA invested in Somnee and ran a research pilot. The results: 31 additional minutes of sleep per night across the cohort. Time to fall asleep dropped from 24 minutes to eight minutes. The NFL Players Association invited Somnee to pitch during Super Bowl week. They won. Conversations are now active with the players union covering roughly 2,400 active players and more than 14,000 retired ones.
Elite athletes are the early adopters here because they understand that recovery is performance. But Rosa makes clear the product’s reach goes well beyond sports: “Whether you’re an executive, middle management, or showing up to work on time consistently, sleep affects everything.”

Life Advice That Doesn't Suck aka "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" flips the self-help script. Instead of telling you to think positive and chase happiness, Mark Manson argues that life is full of problems and always will be. The goal isn't to avoid struggle. It's to pick the struggles worth having. What you choose to care about defines who you are.
Manson builds his case around a simple idea: you have a limited amount of attention, and most of us waste it on things that don't matter. Social approval, comfort, status. He pushes you to get honest about your values, because bad values produce bad problems. Choose better values, and your problems become more meaningful. It's not a feel-good read. It's a reality check.

Perhaps one of the most aptly named individuals I’ve met, James Clear possesses a clairvoyant ability to articulate his understanding and mastery of habit formation.
His book Atomic Habits, which eclipsed the sales speed of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has sold nearly 20 million copies and is one of the top books recommended by high performers.
However, he didn’t set out to write bestsellers. James’s journey from basement projects to a multi-million subscriber list is a testament to the power of resilience and adaptability. He turned early setbacks into a strategic advantage, proving that sometimes, the best plan is the one you never intended to follow.
Building a brand is like building a new habit. Despite aiming for consistency, Clear emphasizes that success in habit formation isn’t about rigid adherence but rather the ability to adjust.
Rather than fragile, unwavering discipline, Clear’s methodology is flexible enough to adapt to the relatable complexities of maintaining habits amidst life’s inevitable changes.
“The way to be consistent is actually to be adaptable,” he explains.
Your best asset could be the flexible mindset that keeps you on track even when life’s rhythms get a bit unpredictable. Rather than imploding upon routine and environmental changes, we should focus on accounting for the natural bouts of turbulence.
“Reduce the scope, but stick to the schedule,”says Clear, encouraging a flexible approach, adjusting the intensity of activities rather than skipping them entirely. This mindset is critical to avoiding discouragement and self-sabotage, which can derail long-term progress."

Jocko Willink’s story reads like an adventure novel that takes us from the serene landscapes of a small New England town into Navy SEAL training, the Iraq War battlegrounds, and a multifaceted civilian life of entrepreneurship and leadership consulting. “I always wanted to be a commando of some kind as soon as I realized that you could actually get paid to carry a machine gun,” he says.
Joining the Navy out of high school and going through the notoriously demanding BUD/S training, Jocko spent most of the next two decades on active duty as a SEAL, platoon commander, and then a task unit commander in his final deployment. Jocko took on the role of the officer in charge of all of the advanced training for the West Coast SEAL teams. His discipline and extreme personal ownership defined him not just as a soldier but as a leader among leaders.
Things are about to get real as I’m hunkered down in a small, dark bunker-style room blacked out with soundproofed walls. There’s a spotlight overhead, like a scene from a movie when someone is being interrogated. I’m sitting at a table filled with an assortment of large machetes and hunting knives.
This is Jocko’s San Diego podcast studio nestled in Victory MMA and Fitness. We talked in depth about his origin story and keen ability to spot, start, and invest in great business opportunities.

Seth told me, "It doesn’t matter how fast you’re going if you’re headed in the wrong direction." He's right.
Here’s my attempt to create a hierarchy for this idea:
-
Strategy = This is your approach, given all the factors, systems, games, players, and environments. It’s about who, how, and why.
-
Objectives = To-do items or steps on the path to help you achieve the goal. It’s about how you’re going to get there.
-
Tactics = The actions or individual steps for accomplishing the objectives. It’s about what you’re going to do.
“A goal might be part of strategy, but strategy is not a goal,” Seth explains. “Strategy is a goal along with a sketch that becomes a plan.”
Unlike a rigid plan, the strategy must allow for flexibility. It should act more like a compass than a fixed map, providing a directionally correct route to success rather than insisting on a singular path.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers’s Chad Smith is betting that music education is key to preserving the creative thinkers businesses need most...
In 2006, Sir Ken Robinson stood on a TED stage and asked a simple question: Do schools kill creativity?
76 million people have watched that talk. It’s still the most-viewed TED Talk in history. It was my honor to sit down with Sir Ken in 2014 and talk about this subject at length, and it’s still one of my most memorable interviews.
Robinson’s argument was clean. Creativity belongs in education the same way literacy, math, and science do. Instead, we rank it last. We fund it last. And when budgets get tight, we cut it first. That was nearly 20 years ago. Not much has changed. Except Chad Smith is doing something about it.
The Chad Smith Foundation launched in 2025 around three pillars: Inspiration, Access, and Support. This is followed by support via instruments, teachers, and places to play. The After-School Music Program, known as AMP, launched in Milwaukee in March 2026; Smith chose Milwaukee deliberately because his brother, Brad, and nephew, Lewis, who serves as executive director, are based there. It’s a pilot, intentional and methodical, built to figure out what actually works before scaling anywhere else.

Alex Hormozi built a portfolio of companies worth over $200 million before he turned 35. No outside funding. No famous co-founder. No viral moment that handed him an audience. He did it by studying the math of business more seriously than almost anyone in his generation, then teaching everything he learned in public. That last part is what separates him from most founders. He gave away the playbook.
The question worth asking is whether Hormozi is the greatest business educator of his era, or something bigger. His books have sold millions of copies. His content reaches tens of millions of people. But the real measure is what his audience does with it. Entrepreneurs are closing deals, pricing their offers, and scaling their teams using frameworks Hormozi posted for free on the internet. That kind of impact is hard to argue with. This episode, we find out what drives the man behind the movement and whether the GOAT conversation is even worth having.

Nobody warns you about the first time…
One morning you wake up, look in the mirror, and your face has started doing something on its own. You have hair! It starts by looking like peach fuzz or dirt above your lip. But it’s not a problem and you’re proud it’s there.
And usually without anyone showing you what to do or handing you a manual, you pick up a razor.
Just like that—and hopefully without nicks cut or other injuries— you're in the club. This is an exceptionally well designed electric razor without sharp cutting bits. Relax, you’re safe.
What they don't tell you about being in the club:
This four inches of real estate on each side of your face is sacred ground.
Okay, maybe you’re outgoing and more people touch this area of your face than you realize. But that doesn’t mean this area is any less important. And if things go well in your life, a special person gets clearance to go there whenever you want.
So the thing you press against that ground matters. The ritual matters. You're not just removing hair. You're deciding, every single morning, what kind of man shows up today.
Some of us grow it out. We do this because we can. Others like it smooth like butter. Whatever the case. This is the one moment of the day that belongs to you. Men are simple. We've been told this is an insult. It's not. Simple means we know what we want. We want the game to be on.
The face, chest, pits and below the belt are the places a man actually has to manage. You can cover everything else with a hoodie. Bad day? Nobody sees it. Bad decisions? Hoodie covers the mustard on your shirt. But the face? The face is always on camera. It’s the money maker, bro.
Let’s get it.

In 2015 Todd Meleney, a young inexperienced newcomer, helped build Nobull from a three-person startup to $250 million in annual revenue. Then just 18 months ago he walked away to do it again, from scratch, in one of the most competitive markets on the planet.
The result is While on Earth, a performance wellness footwear and apparel brand he launched in fall 2024 out of Providence, Rhode Island. Less than two years in, the brand is in hyper growth mode, operating primarily direct-to-consumer, with a product line expanding in 2026. Meleney also has three big-name pro athlete co-founders to help design, develop and legitimize the brand, including arguably the best player in the NFL who gave up a multi-million dollar deal with Nike to join them.
Meleney is a visionary entrepreneur who believes time is our most valuable currency, and he’s passionate about helping people reach their full potential through performance and wellness.
Before launching while on earth™, Todd was the award-winning CMO and first employee at NOBULL, where he oversaw marketing, content, and revenue from pre-launch to $200M+ in annual sales. He’s known for building a cult following and orchestrating some of the largest and most highly anticipated product launches in the athletic space.
In this episode, Todd talks about his philosophy behind while on earth and how he’s scaling the brand as an influential leader in athletic performance wear and wellness; lessons from growing NOBULL from the ground up and building an engaged community; collaborating with elite athletes like Christian McCaffrey and launching authentic brand partnerships that actually move the needle; his insights on marketing, product launches, and entrepreneurship in the performance wellness space.

Eugene Alletto went from making cold calls in a Wolf of Wall Street style boiler room to building bedgear into a top-10 sleep industry brand serving 33+ million customers. In this episode, he shares the counterintuitive strategies that turned bedding from a commodity into a personalized science.
Key Topics:
- Why he avoids big box stores and focuses on trained salespeople instead
- The "$20 shirt vs $2,500 suit" approach to testing business ideas

- The four hiring values that built his company culture

Business Lessons:
- Start with small experiments, not big bets

- Distribution strategy matters more than product features
- Protect your innovations early with patents and trademarks
- Be proximity-ready for unexpected opportunities
Eugene breaks down how he turned a commodity market into a premium brand by solving real problems: spine alignment, temperature regulation, and personalized comfort. His mother's lesson about never playing the victim shaped both his personal resilience and business philosophy.
Whether you're bootstrapping a startup or scaling an existing business, Eugene's experience offers practical frameworks for building sustainable growth without burning through capital.

About a year ago I was working out of a co-working space with a private office and studio in West Hollywood, and honestly? It was fine but felt more like a college dorm than a professional workspace.
I'm running a full service brand strategy consultancy and production company, meeting with serious clients, and I realized the environment wasn’t on brand for me.
Then I discovered Industrious - and here's something that blew my mind: they're actually the world's largest premium flexible workspace, with over 200 locations across 10 countries. But they don't feel corporate or stuffy at all.
What really sets them apart is their approach…
Unlike traditional co-working spaces, Industrious operates more like a hotel management model. They partner directly with landlords to create these incredible spaces, and the difference is night and day. When I walk my clients through the doors now, I can see the immediate shift in how they perceive me and my company. There's this elevation in credibility that you just can't put a price on. And I'm not alone - their members consistently report feeling "proud to bring clients here" and that the space "elevates my own sense of self so I can do better work."
The flexibility is incredible - I can scale my space up or down based on my team's needs. And with locations worldwide, I've got options whether I'm in LA or traveling for business to NYC and across the world. If you're tired of working from home or that coffee shop and you want a space that reflects your ambitions and style, you owe it to yourself to check out Industrious.

In both business and life, endurance, not speed, is of the utmost importance. Jesse Itzler's first book was rejected by 15 publishers before number 16 gave him a shot. 30 is how many years Jesse’s been running races without winning a single win. And 100 is roughly how many miles Jesse covered in his longest ultramarathon, races that taught him the one business lesson most entrepreneurs never learn: you don't have to be the fastest to finish first.
"I've never won anything in my life, not even close," Itzler tells me with a laugh during our recent conversation. "I'm back in the pack. In a marathon with 60,000 runners in New York, I came in like 57,000th place. But these ultra marathons aren't about being the best runner, they're all about will."
It's a philosophy that's carried the serial entrepreneur through an unlikely journey: from performing as rapper "Jesse Jaymes" (his single "Shake It Like a White Girl" hit #74 on Billboard in 1991) to co-founding Marquis Jet and selling it to Berkshire Hathaway, to leading ZICO Coconut Water's sale to Coca-Cola. Along the way, he became part-owner of the Atlanta Hawks and married Spanx founder Sara Blakely, creating one of entrepreneurship's most dynamic power couples.
Now in its 3rd year, Jesse is hosting the Runningman Festival, a unique fitness and wellness experience and conference designed to challenge, inspire and bring like-minded people together in Kingston Downs: Rome, Georgia in mid-September. Jesse is the definition of serial entrepreneur but what most people miss about his approach to business is that he's never actually trying to win the race everyone else is running.
I hope you get as much out of this conversation with Jesse as I did!

About a year ago I was working out of a co-working space with a private office and studio in West Hollywood, and honestly? It was fine but felt more like a college dorm than a professional workspace.
I'm running a full service brand strategy consultancy and production company, meeting with serious clients, and I realized the environment wasn’t on brand for me.
Then I discovered Industrious - and here's something that blew my mind: they're actually the world's largest premium flexible workspace, with over 200 locations across 10 countries. But they don't feel corporate or stuffy at all.
What really sets them apart is their approach…
Unlike traditional co-working spaces, Industrious operates more like a hotel management model. They partner directly with landlords to create these incredible spaces, and the difference is night and day. When I walk my clients through the doors now, I can see the immediate shift in how they perceive me and my company. There's this elevation in credibility that you just can't put a price on. And I'm not alone - their members consistently report feeling "proud to bring clients here" and that the space "elevates my own sense of self so I can do better work."
The flexibility is incredible - I can scale my space up or down based on my team's needs. And with locations worldwide, I've got options whether I'm in LA or traveling for business to NYC and across the world. If you're tired of working from home or that coffee shop and you want a space that reflects your ambitions and style, you owe it to yourself to check out Industrious.
Head to https://www.industriousoffice.com/ or send me a note and I’ll personally set up a VIP tour for you in an Industrious office near you.

In an era where companies wage costly battles to solve the return-to-office puzzle, Industrious has quietly cracked the code on harnessing the power of experience. What began in 2013 as a single location founded by childhood friends Jamie Hodari and Justin Stewart has grown into the world's largest premium flexible workspace provider, with 200 locations across 10 countries. The company's meteoric rise, culminating in its recent acquisition by existing partner, commercial real estate giant CBRE, offers a masterclass in how to transform a startup into an industry leader.
"I believe everyone deserves to feel like they belong at work," says Anna Squires Levine, who joined the company in its early days and now serves as President alongside CEO Hodari. This simple yet powerful philosophy has become the cornerstone of Industrious's success, helping it attract everyone from small businesses and entrepreneurs to Fortune 500 companies.

If you know me, I have a few key things in my pockets at all times.
1. My car keys…
2. Some chapstick for sun protection
3. And chewing gum.
The thing about most store-bought gums are they are made with a little thing called ‘gum base,’ which is often a blend of plastics and rubber… Yuck!
That’s why I’ve team up with Underbrush Gum—the chewing gum that’s rewriting the rules. This isn’t just gum; it’s a revolution in oral health.
Underbrush is Made with natural tree saps, just like our ancestors used…Underbrush combines the wisdom of the past with cutting-edge science. It’s the first chewing gum of its kind, handmade in small batches out of California.
What makes it so special?
Well, this gum does more than just freshen your breath.
It’s remineralizing and antibacterial, loaded with minerals like Nano-hydroxyapatite (yep, the good stuff that helps strengthen your teeth) and powerful tree saps to fight harmful bacteria.
Plus, every single ingredient serves a purpose—right down to the natural sweeteners.

The world's largest hotel chains spend billions on marketing, yet if you closed your eyes inside their rooms, you couldn't tell them apart. Meanwhile, a $200 sneaker company can instantly make you feel something about who you are and what you stand for. Why? Marketing legend Seth Godin reveals it comes down to the difference between having a logo and building a true brand.
Seth Godin revealed three transformative insights about modern marketing that every business leader needs to understand:
First, there's a crucial difference between having a logo and having a brand. As Seth illustrated with his hotel analogy, "If Nike opened a hotel, we'd all know exactly what it would be like. If Hyatt made sneakers, we'd have no clue." A true brand makes a distinct promise and sets clear expectations. The real measure of your brand isn't your logo or slogan – it's how much extra people will pay above the substitute. If customers won't pay more for your offering versus the competition, you don't have a brand; you have a commodity with a logo.

This segment is called, The One Thing...
If you asked me what's the one thing you should learn from negotiation boss, Chris Voss, it's this: Splitting the difference is actually terrible negotiation advice.
Conventional business wisdom about finding win-win solutions and meeting in the middle is fundamentally flawed, according to former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss. After years of high-stakes negotiations where lives hung in the balance, Voss learned that splitting the difference is often the worst possible outcome.
"Win-win is one of the most dangerous negotiating approaches," Voss told me in our recent interview. "If somebody uses the term win-win in the first five minutes of our conversation, they're trying to get me to do something for nothing."
This isn't just tough talk from a former FBI agent. Harvard Business School research backs this up. Their studies found that "win-win" negotiators consistently underperform against more assertive counterparts. While collaborative negotiators might achieve B+ results when working with like-minded people, they get absolutely destroyed when going up against what Harvard calls "claim value" negotiators.
But this doesn't mean we should become aggressive wheeler-dealers. The real secret, according to Voss, is something he calls "tactical empathy" - understanding and acknowledging the other side's position while remaining firmly anchored to your own principles.
"The adversary is the situation, not the person you're talking to," Voss explains. His approach reframes negotiation as "great collaboration with long-term prosperity for both sides."
This philosophy has found strong validation in the business world. Mark Cuban, who Voss has discussed negotiation with, emphasizes testing potential partners rigorously while maintaining a collaborative mindset. The goal isn't to squeeze every last penny from a deal, but to ensure both parties bring their A-game to a lasting partnership.
I've personally seen this play out in countless business deals. Early in my career, I'd often split the difference on project budgets, thinking I was being reasonable. What I actually did was create mediocre outcomes that left both sides slightly dissatisfied.
The better approach? Voss advocates for establishing clear value first, then holding firm on price. "Price doesn't make deals, it breaks deals," he insists. "Your salary doesn't make your career. Your salary gives you the ability to pay your bills while you try to make your career."
This aligns with research from behavioral economists like Daniel Kahneman, who found that people react twice as strongly to losses as they do to equivalent gains. By focusing on value creation rather than price compromise, we can shift the conversation away from what each side might lose through concessions.
The most powerful lesson from Voss isn't about being tough - it's about being principled. Instead of searching for middle ground, focus on creating maximum value for both parties. Sometimes this means walking away from a seemingly reasonable compromise in search of a truly excellent outcome.
As Voss puts it: "The secret to negotiation is learning to exhaust the other side." Not through aggression or manipulation, but through unwavering commitment to finding the best possible solution for everyone involved.
When it comes to important negotiations, don't split the difference. Create difference-making value instead.

Welcome to the Wellness Era: Gyms are the New Third Space
Behind the Brand with EOS Fitness
The pandemic killed the coffee shop culture. When Starbucks and local cafes removed their chairs and cut off WiFi access during COVID-19, millions of remote workers, freelancers, and students lost their favorite hangout spots.
But remember Jeff Goldblum’s quote from the movie Jurassic Park? “Life finds a way.” Yes, human nature can’t be kept in a vacuum–thus a new community hub has emerged to fill the void: the gym. But this movement is bigger than your workout. We are living in the wellness era.
"After the pandemic, there's been this shift in how we view ourselves, our bodies, what we're putting in our bodies, what we're doing," says Shilpi Sullivan, Chief Marketing Officer of EOS Fitness. "And I think that's where the new third space really emerged."

Ryan Hashemi started making Youtube videos in high school in the early days. He quickly learned the difference between "watchable" and "unwatchable content."
A majority of unwatchable videos these days are made by brands with good intentions but piss-poor taste. What do these videos look like?
They come in a variety of shapes and sizes but these boring videos are basically thinly veiled advertising that brands like to pump out in the name of building an audience.
Hashemi now runs an agency called Snowball that helps brands and people with personal brands find the right mix of art & science to create hit shows that create influence, lead to sales and much more.

Special Thanks to our Sponsor We Feed Raw!We’ve had dogs in our family for the last 20 years. Our current pups Bear & Bella are mixed breed dogs rescued in 2017. Bear is jet black Staffie + Boxer mix and his sister is Staffie + chow.
Before I discovered We Feed Raw I was selective but also confused about the so-called healthy kibble I was feeding them. It turns out this expensive kibble was basically the same as feeding my dogs an all-processed, unhealthy food diet.
They are now on a We Feed Raw meal plan system that’s made custom for them with all the nutrients they need to live happy healthier lives.
We Feed Raw food is:
- Safe and cold-pressurized, free of pathogens packed in BPA-free packing
- It's sourced from USDA human-grade meats, food ships and arrives frozen for freshness
- There’s 6 different balanced recipes, something for every dog’s taste, allergy issues and more
- You never have to worry about being out of food or forgetting to pick more up at the store.Your subscription meal plan comes to your doorstep.
- Meal plans are customizable based on age, activity level, size and more.
Bear and Bella have a new excitement for mealtime and I’ve seen them lean out and get into even better shape with the healthier food.

There are a bunch of creatine choices out there but they’re not all safe and 3rd party tested. I chose Burst Creatine gummies because as a busy producer working on this show — as well as TV commercials and original content for my clients, creatine power is messy and hard to travel with.
Leave dry scooping to the meatheads, it messes up your gut health anyway. Burst creatine gummies aren’t made in some factory in China where your creatine is getting mixed with who knows how many other powders or medications they have being made there.
Burst is made locally in the United States and has exactly 1.5 grams of creatine per gummy. I take 3 on my way out the door to the gym to get improved brain function, build muscle and speed up my recovery.
They taste pretty good too. And since I can’t have a lot of sugar or chemical dyes, they are made with natural ingredients that fit my protocol so that I can perform at my highest level.

Greg Hahn is an advertising legend. From his bio:
"Greg is the Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Mischief @ No Fixed Address. Greg is going to go rogue and move this missive to first person. I started Mischief because I wanted to create a place where people- both employees and clients- could come and do the best work of their lives, with less layers, pretense and other unnecessary complications.
In 2022, less than two years into its existence, Mischief was named Agency of the Year by Adage Magazine, Agency of the Year by Campaign US and the second most innovative agency by Fast Company. Recently Mischief was named 2023’s Agency of the Year by Adweek, Agency of the Year for a second time by Adage in 2024, Creative Agency of the Year by Adage and one one of the 20 most creative companies by GQ.
Previous to Mischief, Greg was the CCO of BBDO NY. During that time BBDO was recognized as the most awarded agency in the world by the Gunn Report. It was also named Agency of the Year at The One Show, ADC and The Webbys multiple times."

It’s been about 7 years but feels like yesterday when I think about the time I was really struggling with health.
All of a sudden I was getting serious headaches and didn’t know why…
My friend Robb Wolf who wrote the book Wired to Eat turned me on to InsideTracker but to be honest I didn’t follow thru and spent the next 4 years trying to figure things out on my own by seeing over a dozen doctors and specialists.
I probably wasted at least $20,000 in time and medical expenses with nothing to show for it. Earlier this year another friend suggested InsideTracker again and I signed up.
It was so easy. A specialist came to my house to took my blood for a blood panel test that measured almost 50 health markers. About a week later I had a full report across all of the important categories:
*Fitness measured things like
- Testosterone
- Cortisol
- ApoB
- Cholesterol
- Triglycerides
*Metabolism
- Glucose
- ALT /liver enzyme
- Insulin
There's also...
Cognition
Sleep
*Gut health
InsideTracker is designed to give you personal access to what’s happening under the hood of your body. Then you can take action on your own or with a nutritionist, doctor, fitness trainer etc. to reach your own personal health goals.
How much would you pay to have a roadmap to feeling your best?
I promise InsideTracker costs a lot less and I guarantee it has been one of the best investments I've made for myself. With annual fees starting at $150 this is a no-brainer.
For more info go to InsideTracker.com and give it a try.

What’s holding you back from doing that thing?
My guess is that it’s some form of fear.
Having the right amount of fear is healthy and logical. It’s biological and we are hardwired to survive.
But fear might also be keeping us playing small.
In this episode I'm extending the invite to you to get out of your comfort zone in order to level up. I challenged one of my clients do this recently and they went for it.
Instead of product-focused marketing, our creative idea was infusing some humor and storytelling with a key message.

Ryan Norbauer designs and builds what might be the most exquisite keyboards on the planet. He is a self-described nerd but in the best possible way in terms of his passion for aesthetics, function and attention to detail.
Would it surprise you to know that there's a large global keyboard community, where other fanatical folks gather to press the flesh and the keys of their favorite creators?
How does Norbauer view this spirited subculture?
Ryan writes:
"Through the sense of touch, keyboards connect us, transmitting our thoughts instantly across continents and enabling some of the greatest acts of human creation. They hail from the dawn of personal computing in the second half of the 20th century, a time of dizzying optimism—when it was still possible to imagine that a global digital network linking all of humanity would inevitably lead to a better tomorrow."
This is a fascinating case study into building a bespoke luxury brand that's not designed for the masses. More from Ryan:
"Each Norbauer is meticulously inspected, tuned, and assembled by hand at our keyboard laboratory in the birthplace of the personal computer: Silicon Valley, California.
We spare no expense and take no shortcuts, because I believe the technical achievements of our craft must be worthy of this venerable device and all that its noble history represents."

In 2016, Co-Founders Danny Winer and Cole Mecray launched the groundbreaking hybrid cookware brand – combining stainless steel and non-stick in a way that no other cookware brand had done before.
The scrappy duo completely self-funded the company by emptying their savings accounts, draining their 401Ks and maxing-out credit cards, and they originally packaged orders by hand and made deliveries in their personal vehicles. Everyone told them that a DTC model “would never work,” but Danny and Cole knew they could disrupt the market.
Fast forward to 2024, HexClad is outpacing the competition due to its patented technology, beautiful design and high-quality product innovation. HexClad is the first company to successfully marry stainless steel with non-stick, producing a “best of both worlds” product.
The durability and performance of stainless (excellent searing and temperature conductivity) with the ease and convenience of non-stick (super easy to clean, dishwasher safe, oven safe). Also, it’s the only non-stick on the market safe to use with metal utensils – pizza cutter, knife, whisk, etc.
The product is so well constructed that it has a lifetime warranty (most non-stick competitors last only 1-3 years).

How important is culture?
The answer might surprise you...
Peter Drucker gets credit for saying, "In business, culture eats strategy for breakfast."
I agree with Drucker...
What I think he meant by this is that you can spend months-- or years working on your business strategy, but (business) culture permeates everyone and everything it comes in contact with to the point that it's an unstoppable force--for both good and evil.
I sat down with performance, leadership training and culture expert Dr. Michael Gervais who added, "In every organization we belong to, we're (also) apart of a culture. And either you are contributing to that culture or you are allowing it to be what it is."
This really got me thinking deeply about my own personal and business associations including my internal team, client and vendor relationships. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.
Have a listen and let me know what you think!

Recent college grad Sean Riley noticed that his Animal House-style apartment full of dudes needed some help with hygiene. It wasn't like there wasn't enough toilet paper -- it was the fact that some (okay most) dudes needed a lot more help keeping that undercarriage clean after they did their business.
Some dudes used bought baby wipes but that didn't seem to fit and that sparked the idea for a grown up hygienic product strong enough and made just for men and Dude Wipes was born.

Hi everyone, welcome to another episode of the show, I’m your host, Bryan Elliott. I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for listening and helping to make this show what it is.
We’ve had a rush of new fans and followers and I couldn’t be more excited to be on this journey with you.
Behind the Brand started as a side hustle because in 2008 my little start up was in trouble. I had just resigned from a big brand marketing job at one of the biggest studios in Hollywood.
My dream was to open a production company with a focus on building brands thru the art of storytelling. But it was looking like the Great Recession was going to get the best of me and I didn’t know what to do.
That year I read a book called Tribes written by one of my favorite authors, Seth Godin. It became a roadmap for me — and a North Star to navigate very choppy waters.
Spoiler alert— I made it thru some tough times and now this show is dedicated to all of you as well as anyone who is trying to build a successful business and brand.
Here’s a little mix tape I made of Seth’s Top 10 lessons — here we go!
P.S. Here's another video with Seth you might like explaining everything you may not know about marketing...
More?
Check this out.

Ryan Serhant might be the king of East Coast real estate but he's also building a media empire. Why? The answer might not surprise you...
Serhant is building a media empire on top of this real estate prowess for several reasons. The first reason is obvious: helping other real estate agents who he employs build a brand like Serhants is good business. Another reason building a brand matters is because clients now require it.
That is, when Serhant or his agents do marketing for a property, the client builds in social media exposure (via Serhant's vast influence) into the contracts.
The final reason Serhant is doubling down on media is because as it turns out, the same principles that apply to real estate could also apply to a lot of other industries and THEY could also become Serhant clients via the media portal.

Sometimes you're just born with it. At least that's how it feels with the current G.O.A.T. of BMX lifestyle, Nigel Sylvester. Nigel was just a toddler on his little red tricycle when he was drifting around cones set up as race course by his cousin on his driveway.
Admiring and modeling the great Dave Mirra growing up, Sylvester went pro at age 18 and was recruited by Mirra to rep his team. Flashforward 18 years later and Sylvester is still going strong but has expanded his brand into events, fashion, art, books and more.
Nigel Sylvester is the new BXM icon for young up-in-comers to model. He's a great example of someone in constant pursuit of dreams, riding all around the world, while also keeping it real with his roots deeply planted in Queens NY.

Timm Chiusano is a very talented media executive with a corporate 9-5 managing a team and small business clients under his purview. He's also got a growing side hustle as a very unlikely social media influencer with more than 1M followers on TikTok as well as an expanding audience on other platforms.
How did this happen? How did he do it?
In my observation, at the heart of Timm's success and popularity is the fact that he's all of us. That is, he's a mild-mannered guy living in Brooklyn with his beautiful family trying his best to live life to the fullest.
He has stress and struggles at home and work. He battles with being in ruts and mild depressive episodes. Life is wonderful and difficult. Sound familiar?
He's a husband and father living his life out loud in public for all of us to see --and relate to. He's up at 4:00am to catch up on work stuff, then takes his daughter to school...and piano lessons...and karate...and school plays. His wife is a hard worker as well and has inspired Timm to start running more and taking good care of himself. It's a throw back and hybrid to Norman Rockwell meets Casey Neistat at the height of his daily vlog days.
Now with powerful representation and backing from Night Media, the same firm that reps MrBeast, it just seems like a matter of time before Timm quits his day job to go all-in on his storytelling and content creation career.

Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun make up the talented band Twenty One Pilots.
I first met Josh coming off the heels of my first Twenty One Pilots concert in 2017 when someone from his team reached out to me for him to come on the podcast to talk about his new company and venture with Haylee Williams from Paramore. The two of them teamed up to do a hair dye product…
Since then, Tyler and Josh have done a lot, including making new music to get us thru this Fourth Turning — they both go married and Tyler has a couple of kids. In fact, Tyler and his wife Jenna are reported to be having their 3rd child next month.
Front man Tyler gets a lot of attention but the more shy Josh, who feels more comfortable doing his talking with drum sticks rarely does interviews — so this one means a lot to me as I’m a big fan. I’m so impressed with this band of 2 who puts on an incredible show an makes music that millions of fans like me love.
This shout out is not sponsored but Twenty One pilots has a new single out called Overcompensate and their new album Clancy drops in May. I’ll leave the links in the description so you can listen or get tickets to a concert coming to a city near you.

Ryan Duey and Mike Garrett didn't start out to build a $100 million business in 3 years -- but that's what they've done! These two friends started Plunge from humble beginnings off the heels of a dormant economy during the pandemic and grew the business the old fashioned way by meeting and creating demand for an incredible cold plunge experience at a competitive market price.
Word is spreading fast but only 3 years in feels like this dynamic duo is just getting started. Plunge just launched Plunge Sauna, a dry sauna unit that anyone would be proud to set up their backyard sanctuary. I hope you enjoy this full range of conversation about building a brand from scratch; the best deal Shark Tank ever missed and much more!

In 2006, Andrew Wilkinson was a young college dropout working as a barista in Canada while pondering his next move. His trajectory changed after a casual conversation with two web designers who had turned the coffee shop into a makeshift office. Wilkinson, napkin math in hand and enamored by the potential profits and lifestyle, took the bus to the local bookstore and bought a book on web design. Soon enough, he picked up his first local client for $500.
“I ran the numbers in my head, and I realized that these guys were making a fortune,” remembers Wilkinson. “I want to be the guy drinking the espresso, not the guy making it.” Flash-forward twenty years, Andrew stands at the helm of Tiny, a publicly traded conglomerate of 40+ diverse businesses that span both the digital and physical realms, from social networks like LetterBox and Dribble to the iconic Aeropress coffee maker and, recently, Yerba Mate brand Mateina with Andrew Huberman.
How exactly did Andrew Wilkinson go from espresso guy to running an empire? Listen to this episode to find out.

One of my traditions in the new year is to read a quote often attributed to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Based on my research, this actually may be an adaptation from a screenplay or movie -- but whatever the case and for me --the words and message are more important than the context of the person (who may have written it):
“For what it’s worth … it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.”

What can I say about Seth Godin that hasn’t already been said. Seth literally created and defined the term, “Work that matters” and this philosophy has become a North Star for me to aspire to in my own work. He’s also helped me see Purple Cows; lead a Tribe; become a Linchpin; cross over Dips; Poke more Boxes; Not Fly too Close to the Sun and focusing on Practice to name a few. I'm proud to call him a mentor and friend.
In this informal chat we talk about his book on leadership, The Song of Significance: A New Manifesto for Teams
In the write about it says, "The Song of Significance is a rousing contemplation on work: why it is the way it is, why it’s gotten so bad, what all of us–especially leaders–can do to make it better. Economic instability and the rise of remote work have left us disconnected and disengaged. Alarmed managers are responding with harsh top-down edicts, layoffs, surveillance and mandatory meetings. Workers are responding by quiet quitting and working their wage. But it doesn't have to be this way."
In Seth’s regular fashion he’s pointing out stuff that doesn’t work well and offering solutions about how to fix it. Here we go!

Robert just released an anniversary edition of The 48 Laws but it might be sold out! I bought a copy for myself and highly recommend it. The evergreen version is available as well here.

"If I follow the trail of your stress, it will take me to your deepest fears…"
I have a confession — prior to meeting Tony Robbins, I was not the biggest Tony Robbins fan. I’m not the kind of person who would attend one of his events…jump up and down or tolerate him shouting at me during a 10-hour seminar. But then he taught me, "Life is the dance between what we desire and fear most." Tony who is larger than life actually made a huge impact on how I think about myself and the world. I still don't have any interest in his seminars but I did learn something valuable and believe you will too.

"The Work Reveals Itself as You Go..."
I just finished Rick Rubin’s new book called The Creative Act. It’s a book on his process and his methods. If you don’t know Rick Rubin, he’s one of the most prolific music producers on the planet — taking the good work and making it better for talent like The Beastie Boys, AC/DC, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Weezer, Linkin Park, Neil Diamond, Metallica, Shakira, — almost the entire A-list music industry including Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons. Dan reveals his music making process as well as gets really vulnerable about why his music is so personal. You’re going to love this one.

Sometimes the riskiest thing to do is play it safe. This is the incredible story and rise of the Momentous brand. 2016 was a remarkable year as four very different people headed down four very separate paths that in just a few short years would intersect in the most serendipitous way. Each person was at a different stage of life and experience but started to crank what bestselling author Jim Collins calls a flywheel. There was a young and recently retired NFL player, turned entrepreneur. A media mogul who started a VC firm. A high school student with a big idea. And last but not least, there was a former Bay Area Grom, who spent time in a youth detention center as a teen, but turned is life around with a passion for teaching science. In 2016 he would transfer from San Diego State to a new position at Stanford University.
Collins writes, “No matter how dramatic the end result, good-to-great transformations never happen in one fell swoop. In building a great company there is no single defining action, no grand program, no one killer innovation, no solitary lucky break, no miracle moment. Rather, the process resembles relentlessly pushing a giant, heavy flywheel, turn upon turn, building momentum until a point of breakthrough, and beyond.”Special thanks to our sponsor Plunge!Introducing the all-new Plunge All-In!

When I was a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s, one of my favorite shows, playing on repeat in reruns, was the Twilight Zone created by Rod Serling.
It was a well written show where characters find themselves dealing with “disturbing or unusual events” that usually ended with an unexpected plot twist and moral to the story for everyone to ponder as food for thought.
We are living in interesting times to say the least — it kind of feels like a Twilight Zone episode sometimes and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to know what is true and what is fiction. As a kid, the show was one of my first exposures to the idea of critical thinking, which by definition means, “the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment.”
But critical thinking alone doesn’t always get us to the truth. And it turns out that humans are not naturally born with the gift of being objective. We really have to work at it. To think critically, we must be aware of our own biases and assumptions — and then apply consistent standards when considering the sources. Sources are tricky too. I remember a time when I believed what I saw on the news. Believed that doctors got into medicine just to help people. Believed that my religion was God’s true church on Earth and my church leaders upheld the highest standards of honesty and would never lie or do harm to anyone.
This episode with Neil deGrasse Tyson is NOT about trying to break your shelf or dissuade you from your deeply held beliefs. It’s about learning more about critical thinking and the scientific method so you can figure out what is real and what fiction. To be a seeker of truth and not be caught up in the trap of group-think.
I have only recently rediscovered one of the most credible sources of truth and light, has been within me all along. And if I had any advice, I think that’s a pretty good place to start.

I’d like to re-introduce you to Alex Hormozi, a entrepreneur who is having a moment. If you don’t know Alex, he’s pretty amazing and is an amalgamation of influencers who have gone before as if Gary Vaynerchuk, Russel Brunson, Tony Robbins and Schwarzenegger had a baby. He's an archetype of an influencer who is selling a lifestyle like his own. It’s not a get rich scheme, but more of lifestyle of thinking and acting like someone rich — so as to become so.
Alex was raised by his Iranian-American dad with whom he didn’t alway see eye to eye, and spend the better part of his adult life trying to be enough for him. After contemplating his own mortality, he finally realized that he had to follow his own dreams at the expense of possibly losing his father’s approval and never having a relationship. He embarked on a journey that ultimately led to incredible success in the world of entrepreneurship. However, his path was far from conventional.
Alex initially followed the traditional route, earning a degree in Organizational Development with a focus on Corporate Strategy from Vanderbilt . He even landed a prestigious job as a management consultant with high-level security clearance at a big job. But after two years, he realized the 9-to-5 life wasn't for him, and he decided to strike out on his own.
Passionate about fitness, Alex found a gym owner mentor who taught him the ropes. He lived well below his means trying to learn everything about the business. He was finally able to buy his own gym in 2013.
Within just three years, he expanded to three more locations, generating substantial monthly revenue but made mistakes with partnerships that went sour and nearly cost him everything. With his back up against the wall, he pivoted to training gyms how to get more leads and sales and eventually decided to sell off more than 32 businesses in just two years, earning him millions of dollars.
Beyond his business acumen, Alex is also an accomplished author, and just released his second book, $100M Leads, which broke a Guinness world record selling 100,000 books in one day. Alex is living master class on how to build a personal brand to accomplish your goals. Even if you’ve heard this one before, it’s worth another listen — with pen and paper in hand —please enjoy this re-booted recording with the incomparable Alex Hormozi.

Have you ever managed your own media campaign? You know, spent money on some kind of advertising for your business to get new customers or sell a product or service?
The barriers to entry are lower than ever. Meta Company, via Facebook and Instagram, make it a low lift to spend money these days on the platform. But while paid media buying is simple, it is not always easy to see results. What's your ROAS? CAC? There's so many acronyms to scrutinize!
To buy media at a high level, spending thousands — even millions of dollars -- a month for clients requires a rare skill set of strategy, analytics, marketing savvy and intuition.
This is a must-listen episode for anyone who’s spending any kind of money to promote their products or services. Austin Elliott is one of the best in game today and will take you to school in everything you probably don’t know about media and ads.
Here we go!
You may not know Tyler Denk’s name yet, but you will.
He looks like pretty normal a 20-something kid who came from a middle class neighborhood in Maryland — now transplanted to sunny Southern California. He’s hungry with ambition and got that look in his eyes -- like the eye of tiger. You know, that feeling we've all had when we thought we had the world in the palm of our hands.
Tyler is building what some might call a boring business — a SASS product called Beehiive for people who write and email newsletters. The thing is, newsletters are only boring if you suck at writing them.
And there’s millions of dollars to be made from them with case studies like Alex Liberman and Austin Rief’s Morning Brew that sold for $75M where Tyler wrote most of the early code… There’s The Hustle which the Sam Parr sold for $25M to Hubspot and others. Tyler is self-made and he is anything but ordinary.
If you’re into music you might know him from his world famous Big Desk Energy playlist on Spotify. After Morning Brew, he did a season at Youtube Music, got Covid in 2020 and had to cancel a much needed vacation to San Diego. Instead, he build what might be the world’s most intuitive and effective SASS product for great writers who want to build an audience via an amazing newsletter.

I found Brand Boss, Bill Harper on TikTok of all places where he has built an impressive library of short form content around branding and marketing. Harper runs an agency out of North Carolina called WMH and it's worth checking out. Bill and I riff on a variety of topics and talk about our experiences and opinions on how to build a brand and how to be successful.
There's another side story and lesson learned from my trip to Raleigh North Carolina...
There’s this saying, Be kind, because everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about. You never know what someone is going through, right? I was reminded how important this is on a recent trip to Raleigh North Carolina.
I was in the airport waiting for my flight back to LA as you do and I saw a man, sitting a little ways away in another terminal and waiting like me, look my way and give me the hello nod. You know what mean, right?
He got up and walked over to me — and I’m thinking “okay, do I know this guy?” But he didn’t look familiar. Then he asked, are you Bryan Elliott? With all the enthusiasm my introverted self could muster, I muttered yes, and he proceeded to tell me that he’s a big fan of the podcast and how much it means to him. I was really flattered but also stunned — like a dear in the headlights — because I don’t get approached very much like this. But it was nice.
To be honest, the week prior leading up to this trip I was really struggling with feeling like I’m not doing enough and falling short of some of my goals. But that all disappeared with this man’s simple act of kindness. And since then it’s reminded me about being a bit more grateful about staying focused on things I can control and not on things I cannot. If he’s listening right now I’d like to apologize for being so awkward and thank him for making my day a lot brighter. You were headed from Raleigh Durham to Arizona and the Grand Canyon with your family so I hope you had a great trip.
I’d like to keep meeting more of you. Can we keep this up? If you see me out and about please say hello. One thing you may not know about being a creator — and I’m sure this applies to everything — Whether you’re a creator of music, film, podcast or make a product or service that people use everyday. It’s hard to know exactly who’s paying attention -- or the impact. But when we do meet, it’s an incredible feeling to know that what you’re doing matters a little to someone else.

I really think you’re going to like this one with Cale Own, CEO of Gym Launch, Prestige Labs, and GymOwners.com. Cale was running his own struggling gym business when he met Alex & Leila Hormozi, founders of Gym Launch. Within a short amount of time, he basically went from gym owner to jumping on board Gym Launch where he was in sales to CEO in about 5 years. Here’s what Alex had to say about Cale.
Now you could say that it may be in Alex’s best interest to support his appointed CEO —but you can’t fake the funk as they say. And Founders don’t always get along with their CEOs nor do they get much time if they don’t perform.
Remember the movie The Founder, starring Michael Keaton — an American biographical drama of businessman Ray Kroc that depicts the founding story of McDonalds? Nick Offerman plays one of the original McDonald brothers and they not only don’t ever see eye-to-eye with Ray Kroc, but Kroc ends up out witting them and pushing them out of the business altogether. The lesson here for me is, If you’re a founder and you find a great CEO who can do the job better than you, get out of the way and take the profits right to the bank.
Cale and I also talked about growing up playing baseball and some possible business lessons from arguably the best hitter in the game, Ted Williams. Williams was obsesses with stats and science of how to optimize his swing and batting average. He labeled the strike zone with ball placement from 200-400. Sure, he could hit a ball that was in the zone a little high and inside but it would only yield a .310 average. What Williams was waiting for was the pitch chest high down the middle that he could hit every time for .400. My conversation with Cale is definitely chalked full of lessons and worth a listen. Here we go!
Rener Gracie is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) black belt instructor, coach and entrepreneur.
One of the most recognisable figures in modern Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Gracie is a well-known and popular coach who has helped develop some top UFC competitors, such as Ronda Rousey, Brian Ortega, Brendan Schaub, Javier Vazquez and Lyoto Machida as well as former wrestler CM Punk and pro boxer Ryan Garcia.

Joe Kudla, Founder & CEO of San Diego-based activewear brand, Vuoriis at the helm of a $4 billion dollar startup. Founded in 2015, Vuori was created from the notion that men did not have the same, versatile activewear options as their female counterparts – a gap in the quickly growing market that Joe decided to fill. He set out to conceptualize and craft garments made for both movement & everyday life that men would actually want to wear – a vision that gave birth to the Vuori brand.
Throughout the years, Joe has led Vuori to see incredible growth as a brand – becoming profitable in just two years into business (2017, and catalyzed through the brand’s $400 million capital raise in the Fall 2021. Joe and his team have always stuck to the core ethos of the start-up mission they set out to solve in the beginning – creating unparalleled active and everyday wear staples, hinging on technical fabrications, cutting edge silhouettes, and unique innovation concepts, to make a mark on the category unlike any other brand today.
It is this continued vision to create comfortable, style-forward wardrobe staples for men on the move – such as Vuori’s hero Men’s Ponto Performance Jogger, that has quickly propelled additional consumer interest from women. Such interest in the brand from the female consumer quickly led to the conception of a women’s cohort of Vuori in 2018, introducing similar styles for women – marrying performance, fit, functionality, and style for her.
Today, Joe and his team support a thriving business that is split equally across genders – delivering on core best sellers and expanding the innovation pipeline year over year. However, growth is not only seen on a DTC basis. Since its start in 2015, Vuori has successfully expanded on an omni channel basis under Joe’s helm – opening stores in nearly 30 cities nationwide and at retailers around the globe, as well as captivating consumers across digital/in-person community building initiatives – such as Vuori’s free online workout streaming service and in-person series – ACTV Club.

About Phil Ranta from his bio:
Phil is a pioneer of the digital media revolution, working as a pre-YouTube professional web video producer in 2005, video content app creator before the smartphone revolution in 2007, an early exec in the MCN boom with two successful exits, and as the Head Gaming Creators at Facebook and Mobcrush, driving the live streaming and the creator-driven media paradigm shift. Currently, as COO of We Are Verified, Phil is helping to build scalable businesses around top content creators.
Previously, Phil was the Head of Gaming Creators, North America at Facebook and the Head of Creators at Mobcrush. In both roles, the departments saw significant growth working with top game streaming talent including Ronda Rousey, Disguised Toast, Corinna Kopf, Shroud, and Nate Hill, to name a few.
Phil was the COO of Studio71, one of the world's largest MCNs, growing the network from 1 billion to over 8 billion monthly views in 3 years with over 1,000 creators.
Before S71, Phil joined Fullscreen as the Head of Channel Partnerships as the 9th employee, completing his tenure as the VP of Networks. He grew the network to the largest MCN in the world (on comScore) in less than 1 year. He was the recipient of Fullscreen's first "Founders Award" for his role in building the industry-leading company.
Phil was also a popular comedian, performing at such prestigious LA venues as the Second City Los Angeles (and acting in their touring company aboard Norwegian Cruise Lines), the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theater (improv program graduate), and comedy festivals across America. As a content creator, his videos have received over 100 million views on digital platforms bolstered by his work as a talent/producer on the YouTube channel "PronunciationManual" and co-hosts the "Two and a Half Sportsmen" podcast.
Rob Dyrdek is almost unrecognizable now compared to the person he used to be...
Dyrdek has transformed his life and business into a complete optimized machine. Rob says, "Start with the end in mind. Starting is always the hardest part of doing something new. Our nerves usually get the best of us, predicting the possible outcomes of what a new experience will be like."
There's a way to overcome this.
Try setting personal expectations each time you do something new. If you do this consistently, you'll begin to grow and evolve into a state where it becomes more organic to enjoy the process of doing something new.

I’ve been a Pro User of Vimeo basically since I started my production company in 2010. Vimeo is for creative professions like me and I use it several different ways:
- It’s a place for me to upload videos with a password for my clients to be able to review and download the work I’m doing for them. There’s no compression or crushing of black colors or over- saturation like when I upload to Youtube. My clients get the full 4K resolution HD as it was intended.
- I use it to host / broadcast live events…
- I also use Vimeo for my portfolio, case studies —and it never has annoying pre roll ads. I can create a customized player and keep people on my landing page so they don’t get distracted and go down the rabbit hole watching someone else’s stuff.
- What you may not know is that Vimeo can be used if you’re in HR to put all your on-boarding videos in one place.. you could do the same if you teach a course…put your vids behind a paywall and charge for it.
- Need a videographer, Creative director or editor? Vimeo let’s you post jobs or find creative professionals.
There are a ton more options so I would suggest checking them out. Just go to Vimeo.com and see what’s possible!

I’ve been a Pro User of Vimeo basically since I started my production company in 2010. Vimeo is for creative professions like me and I use it several different ways:
- It’s a place for me to upload videos with a password for my clients to be able to review and download the work I’m doing for them. There’s no compression or crushing of black colors or over- saturation like when I upload to Youtube. My clients get the full 4K resolution HD as it was intended.
- I use it to host / broadcast live events…
- I also use Vimeo for my portfolio, case studies —and it never has annoying pre roll ads. I can create a customized player and keep people on my landing page so they don’t get distracted and go down the rabbit hole watching someone else’s stuff.
- What you may not know is that Vimeo can be used if you’re in HR to put all your on-boarding videos in one place.. you could do the same if you teach a course…put your vids behind a paywall and charge for it.
- Need a videographer, Creative director or editor? Vimeo let’s you post jobs or find creative professionals.

One of my traditions in the new year is to read a quote often attributed to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Based on my research, this actually may be an adaptation from a screenplay or movie -- but whatever the case and for me --the words and message are more important than the context of the person (who may have written it):
“For what it’s worth … it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.”

Fourlaps:**This episode is brought to by Fourlaps. When I was searching for the perfect short to take me from a run near my home in Laguna — right into a swim in the Pacific Ocean — I found the Fourlaps Bolt short 5”. The truth is I sometimes sleep in my shorts now too — they are that comfortable. I soon discovered that I could build an entire active lifestyle wardrobe to meet the functional needs of my busy job running my Southern California based production company. I wear the fashionable Traverse pants with an open button down shirt or casual sport jacket for pitch meetings and Flex Joggers and a Radius Polo on set when I really need to move around. I highly recommend checking out Fourlaps full line for men and women. Use my special promo code “BRY” to get a deal off your next purchase.

You’ve likely seen pro athletes ranging from Naomi Osaka to Ja Morant warming up or recovering with products made by Hyperice and Normatec; not only the first, but the gold-standard in dynamic air compression technology. Normatec was acquired by Hyperice in 2020 and has even snuck its way into pop culture as Lady Gaga, Kylie Jenner and even Drake swear by the benefits of the recovery technology tool.
Go with us behind the brand of Hyperice with CEO, Jim Huether!

Daniel Pink is a bestselling author and friend who's written several really great books like To Sell is Human, Drive and A Whole New Mind, that have helped me (and my production company clients) grow their brands. I think this evergreen message about the "scientific secrets of perfect timing" is worth hearing again and again. Enjoy!

I’ve been a Pro User of Vimeo basically since I started my production company in 2010. Vimeo is for creative professions like me and I use it several different ways:
- It’s a place for me to upload videos with a password for my clients to be able to review and download the work I’m doing for them. There’s no compression or crushing of black colors or over- saturation like when I upload to Youtube. My clients get the full 4K resolution HD as it was intended.
- I use it to host / broadcast live events…
- I also use Vimeo for my portfolio, case studies —and it never has annoying pre roll ads. I can create a customized player and keep people on my landing page so they don’t get distracted and go down the rabbit hole watching someone else’s stuff.
- What you may not know is that Vimeo can be used if you’re in HR to put all your on-boarding videos in one place.. you could do the same if you teach a course…put your vids behind a paywall and charge for it.
- Need a videographer, Creative director or editor? Vimeo let’s you post jobs or find creative professionals.
There are a ton more options so I would suggest checking them out. Just go to Vimeo.com and see what’s possible!

Daniel Pink is a bestselling author and friend who's written several really great books like To Sell is Human, Drive and A Whole New Mind, that have helped me (and my production company clients) grow their brands. I think this evergreen message about the "scientific secrets of perfect timing" is worth hearing again and again. Enjoy!

Fourlaps:**This episode is brought to by Fourlaps. When I was searching for the perfect short to take me from a run near my home in Laguna — right into a swim in the Pacific Ocean — I found the Fourlaps Bolt short 5”. The truth is I sometimes sleep in my shorts now too — they are that comfortable. I soon discovered that I could build an entire active lifestyle wardrobe to meet the functional needs of my busy job running my Southern California based production company. I wear the fashionable Traverse pants with an open button down shirt or casual sport jacket for pitch meetings and Flex Joggers and a Radius Polo on set when I really need to move around. I highly recommend checking out Fourlaps full line for men and women. Use my special promo code “BRY” to get a deal off your next purchase.

For me, the three pillars of health are: Sleep. Nutrition. Exercise. Sleep, especially on a thermo-regulated bed at the right temperature customized for me, has been the key to feeling my best and performing at a high level. The Eight Sleep Pro Pod is a game-changer! If you sleep with someone every night like I do, you would normally have to compromise with your partner on temperature… But not with Eight Sleep. The Pod is the only sleep technology that dynamically cools and heats each side of the bed, to maintain the optimal sleeping temperature for what your body needs. With the pod, you can start sleeping as cool as 55°F or as hot as 110°F. You control everything with an app on your phone and it’s really easy. The result: Clinical data shows that Eight Sleep users experience up to 19% increase in recovery, up to 32% improvement in sleep quality, and up to 34% more deep sleep. The new Pod 3 enables more accurate sleep and health tracking with double the amount of sensors, delivering you the best sleep experience on Earth. The Pod is not magic, but it feels like it.

When On Running Co-Founder Olivier Bernhard was a child, running made him feel whole. He had trouble focusing in school and he says that in today’s society he would have probably been given medication to help him focus. Luckily his parents saw the energy he needed to expel and put him into a running club. That changed everything. The experience of moving his body and running gave him a sense of belonging and place and eventually he would grow up to be a pro Swiss athlete.
“I’ve been a runner all my life,” he says. “I would say I’ve had this DNA in me. I started racing
when I was five or six years old, and I enjoyed it. Maybe not so much to climb the podium and
claim a medal. It was more the feeling of running; the breathing and heartbeat...”
Bernhard—a multi-championship Ironman never intended to be at the helm of a disruptor brand, nor did he intend to create a running shoe company. The idea sort of found him when he was looking at ways, not to create new running products but to create a different kind of running experience and feeling.

It's 1983 and Chris Voss was hired at the FBI just before his 26th birthday. During his 24 years of service with the Bureau, Voss became a leading international kidnapping negotiator. He regularly engaged with some of the world's most dangerous criminals in extremely high-stakes scenarios. One of the moments that put Chris on the map was the time he successfully negotiated the release of hostages after a 1993 bank robbery at a Chase Manhattan bank in Brooklyn.
I imagine Chris's life a little like a scene from one of my favorite TV shows, The Americans, a period drama about two KGB spies (portrayed by Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys) posing as Americans in suburban Washington, D.C., during the Reagan administration. Voss is currently the founder and head of the Black Swan Group, where he and his team are leveraging his deep knowledge and experience to train businesses and individuals to become highly effective negotiators.
Here are a few things you might learn from Chris during this session:
- How to decipher your leverage and negotiate from strength [ "The enemy is not the person across the table; the adversary is the situation." ]
In other words, don't make people the enemy--focus instead on the problem to be solved. Negotiation shouldn't be a zero-sum game if you're planning to be in business long-term. So how do we win without burning bridges? The best strategy according to Voss is to "come up with a better deal than both parties could have imagined. You're both faced with different aspects of the same problem. So by definition, you have to look out for the other person to get to the best deal you can get."
-
How to figure out if you're the favorite or the fool...
-
How to use tactical empathy...
While many believe that business is war, Voss sees getting to wins as a collaboration with effort on both sides rooted in empathy. "Aim to magnify positive emotions. To try and take emotions out of negotiation is a fool's errand." So be kind. Be professional. Put yourself in your rival's shoes and figure out a way for you to both be happy.
- How to use mirroring...
And much more!

Steve Magness never imagined he’d be a writer —let alone caught in the eye of one of most controversial competitive athletic storms entangled with running brand behemoth Nike, in what could be the biggest scandal since Lance Armstrong. As a track and field athlete in high school, he dreamed of one day being a running coach, or an Olympic athlete. As it happens for so many, life took him on a different path. He is now the author and co-author of many bestselling books including, The Science of Running, The Passion Paradox, Peak Performance and his latest, Do Hard Things http://www.stevemagness.com/do-hard-things
“I wanted to go to the Olympics and be a professional athlete, and that was all I cared about,” he tells me. “I went to school because it was an expectation. I went to college because it allowed me to continue to compete and run. Beyond that, honestly I didn’t have a ton of interests.”
He’s not a competitive runner anymore but today, as I sit down with him to discuss his new book, Do Hard Things, we can’t help but shoot the breeze about running and how it’s really a metaphor for life.
Do you know the difference between $1 million and $1 billion? It's a lot. If you were to compare the delta in time, a million seconds is about 11 days. However, a billion seconds is almost 32 years. Alex Hormozi, entrepreneur, author, and CEO of Acquisition.com, has a growing portfolio of companies worth upwards of $100 million. Hormozi has a remarkable story that has all the makings of a Hollywood movie. Triumph and tragedy; high stakes business failure and success; complicated family relationships; romance; and more. Hormozi says that by the age of 32, he and his wife Leila's portfolio of companies crossed $85 million per year in revenue spanning brick-and-mortar service, licensing, education, SaaS, and e-commerce. In my opinion, they are on a trajectory to hit the billion-dollar milestone sooner than most.
In his 20s, Hormozi opted to choose his own path and not the one that his successful Iranian immigrant father hoped he'd choose. Many children of immigrants might relate to this story and the subsequent consequence of the choice. Hormozi's decision led to serious conflict and years of tension -- even thoughts of suicide -- between Hormozi and his father that he had to figure out how to heal. In spite of it all, Hormozi remained true to himself and eventually, he hit major success working in the world of fitness and fitness business.
Hormozi tells me that in his youth, everything he did in his life was in pursuit of his father's approval, and that he had never really made decisions for himself and for his own joy. Ultimately, it became clear that he didn't want to live the life that he was living. He says that for a short time he contemplated not living anymore at all, but ultimately decided that risking disappointing his father and carving his own path was a better way out, and so he took that risk. Listen to this wide ranging conversation with $100 million Alex Hormozi -- and you might catch the formula to becoming financially free.

Trigger warning for listeners sensitive to mentions of sexual trauma or violence, this episode contains references to rape and recovery from sexual trauma.
Most teenagers move through the world with a feeling of invincibility. With a few rare exceptions, teens who are still living in the care of their parents and within the family unit home are sheltered from life’s harshest realities. While they might be individuating, preparing for college and the life they’ll live once they leave the nest, it usually takes a major life event to shake a teen out of their childhood bubble and welcome them to the realities of the real world.
For some, this might mean little-t traumas like getting fired from a job, or going through a breakup, but for Carter Barnhart, it was something far more difficult.
When she was just fourteen, Barnhart was out at a concert with friends, and she was raped. One night and just like that her life changed forever. Her innocence and childlike wonder shifted to a place of darkness, loneliness and pain.
Barnhart comes from a strong family, and she is close with her parents and her brother, yet none of them could reach her. She didn’t tell them what happened to her, so on her own she was facing depression, anxiety and passive suicidal ideation.

For me, the three pillars of health are: Sleep. Nutrition. Exercise. Sleep, especially on a thermo-regulated bed at the right temperature customized for me, has been the key to feeling my best and performing at a high level. There was a point where I was struggling with sleep apnea, chronic fatigue and migraines. I bought a new Eight Sleep Pro Pod Cover, improved my eating habits and got back into the gym at least 5 days a week. I lost 15 lbs, got my fitness and confidence back and my symptoms disappeared. The Eight Sleep Pro Pod is a game-changer! I'm competitive at whatever I do -- and now that I know how important sleep is, I'm focused on getting the highest sleep score possible every night.

Wolf believes that all wellness is rooted in sleep, food, movement, and community and that if we can get a handle on those things we will need to see our doctors far less. The onus falls on us, but he’s doing his part to educate and help the masses not only with his books, but also with LMNT Electrolyte supplements.
https://www.behindthebrand.tv/lmnt
His story and his life’s mission is one that I personally vibe with and can relate to. I have had my own moments of experimenting with food and exercise and diet in my own search to deal with chronic headaches and sleep apnea. In my journey, I saw countless doctors who took educated guesses on how to fix what was ailing me, but in the end, I knew intuitively to a degree what was going to work and what was not. Neither Wolf nor I want to disparage doctors in any way. When something goes wrong, having a trusted physician is an incredible advocate to have, but when it comes to overall wellness, there are actions that we as people can take to advocate for ourselves that limit how much medical care we need.

From the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of When and A Whole New Mind, a paradigm-altering book about the transformative power of our most misunderstood emotion: regret.
“No regrets.” You’ve heard people proclaim it as a philosophy of life. That’s nonsense, even dangerous, says Daniel H. Pink in his latest bold and inspiring work. Everybody has regrets. They’re a fundamental part of our lives. And if we reckon with them in fresh and imaginative ways, we can enlist our regrets to make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school, and deepen our sense of meaning and purpose.

I’m excited for you to watch this next episode with Global Brand & Marketing Officer, at Marriott International and the Convoy brand, Tina Edmundson.
Please forgive the video quality as we had to do this via zoom but the content is a masterclass in brand marketing for any of you wondering how to build your own brand.
I never considered how much I really valued feeling like I belong [when I travel] until the pandemic locked me in isolation. The distance and separation from family, friends and colleagues was dramatic and I felt it. Travel and connections to new people and places can open our minds to new possibilities and help us remember our humanity. Without hyperbole, travel has been transformative for me. My advice for choosing a place to stay is based on this feeling of being with “your people” whatever that may look like. It might be subtle but the social aspects can make all the difference and even help you bond, heal or create new friendships. This idea reminds me of a theme song from an old 80’s TV show. The lyrics hit me differently now:
“Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name…
And they're always glad you came.
You want to be where you can see, our troubles are all the same.
You want to be where everybody knows your name.
Let’s get into it — Cheers!

As a child Justin Kan’s mother told him that he could do anything in life as long as he did it well, and that laid the foundation for the path he’s been on since his early 20’s. As a child, Kan says that he was inspired by his entrepreneur parents and would tell them that he wanted to be a CEO when he grew up. While his path to get there hasn’t been at all conventional, and for a time included him broadcasting a 24-hour live stream of his own life, the Twitch co-founder seems to have gotten his wish.

I think you’re really going to like this episode with bestselling author Greg McKeown. He’s a Brit and seems like a deeply spiritual man with strong convictions for his family and faith.
That is what he credits for a recent health scare with one of his children who had a serious undiagnosed illness but eventually regained her health. Greg talks about the idea of Essentialism, which is not like minimalism where you pair down your belongings to the bare bones… No, Essentialism is about keeping only the things, ideas and beliefs that serve you well. This resonates with me as I’ve shared my story when I felt like a victim 10 years ago during a really dark time in my life. I was able to swap that story and adopt a new one of being a survivor —that was my essential keepsake.
I would also like to thank our sponsor LMNT — and speaking of essentials…it’s a good segue into this amazing drink that’s improved my health in a big way. Some of you know I’ve been battling migraines for a while and my doctor hasn’t found any solutions for me. I’m so sick of taking medicine so I talked to several pro athlete friends and their trainers who told me I was probably missing important electrolytes.
I ordered some LMNT [spelled with the 4 letters LMNT] which as essentials like magnesium, potassium and sodium and over a 30 day period I saw my headaches decrease by about half. I am hooked and so I reached out to the folks at LMNT HQ and we’re now working together to help more of you.
Electrolyte deficiency or imbalances can cause headaches, cramps, fatigue, and weakness. For those FASTING meals or working out for fitness: electrolytes can make the difference between feeling great and feeling like garbage. When you sweat, the primary electrolyte lost is sodium - athletes can lose up to 7 grams per day. When sodium isn’t replaced, it’s common to experience muscle cramps and fatigue. Anyway, I drink one before working out in the morning and one later after dinner to hydrate for the next day.
Want to try a free sample pack? Goto: DrinkLMNT.com/BryanElliott and they will send you all of the flavors to try, shipping is 5 bucks.
My personal favorite is the chocolate because I put it in my protein shake. I also love the Orange Salt. There’s a new watermelon flavor and I’m excited to try it!

In my opinion Malcolm Gladwell is a one-in-generation kind of writer. Like F. Scott Fitzgerald or a more virtuous, thoughtful and gentle Hemingway without all the drinking, cavorting and tragedy. He is Canadian after all, and very proud of it.
In this episode of Behind the Brand I convince Malcolm to reveal something personal about himself that most people do not know about him.
His new book, the Bomber Mafia chronicles the history and rivalry between an elite group of chemists vs physicists who competed during WW2 to see who could help the allied forces, specifically the United States win and end the war against Japan.
Malcolm is a prolific writer and the author of several of my favorite books, including David and Goliath, Outliers, The Tipping Point and many others. He’s also the host of The Revisionist Podcast, which I also recommend checking out. He has an uncanny way of finding the story behind the story and pointing out the important lessons often hiding or undocumented in fascinating true stories in history. I know you’ll enjoy this episode with the incomparable Malcolm Gladwell.

Amy Purdy has lived an incredible life. She grew up with the love of Nature, health wellness and travel. She was also a passionate snowboarder. At 19, her life took a detour. After experiencing flu-like symptoms, Amy was rushed to the hospital in a state of septic shock. When she entered into the hospital she was given less than a 2% chance of survival, put on life support and placed into a coma.
After multiple blood transfusions, and the removal of her ruptured spleen, doctors diagnosed Amy with Meningococcal Meningitis, a vaccine preventable bacterial infection. Due to the lack of circulation she had suffered, doctors had to amputate her legs below the knee. She later received a donated kidney from her father a week before her 21st birthday.
After going through this life-altering experience, Amy challenged herself to move on with her life and attain goals that even those who have both legs struggle to achieve.She is one of the top ranked adaptive snowboarders in the world,the 2014 Sochi Paralympic bronze medalist and is currently the only double-leg amputee competing in snowboarding at the world-class level.
Amy’s creativity, positive outlook and her never-give-up attitude have opened doors to many other opportunities, including being featured in a Madonna music video, a lead actress role in an award-winning independent film and multiple creative modeling projects including a photo shoot with musician and artist Nikki Sixx where her legs were custom made from steel to look like ice picks.
Amy has evolved into a powerful inspirational and motivational speaker who has been seen by millions of people and invited to share her story to audiences around the world. Amy’s TED x Orange Coast talk, “Living Beyond Limits” is the number one recommended video by TED x OC to incoming TED speakers formulating their own presentations.
Amy’s story and images have been featured in numerous national and international publications, and in 2012 she and her longtime boyfriend, Daniel Gale, raced around the world on CBS’s The Amazing Race.
In May of 2013, Amy was named by the International Olympic Committee as one of the top 15 most marketable para-athletes in the world.
Although Amy has numerous accomplishments, she is most proud of co-founding Adaptive Action Sports with her husband Daniel Gale. Created in 2005, AAS is a non-profit organization that helps those with permanent disabilities get involved in action sports. AAS has partnered with ESPN and runs “adaptive” action sport competitions at the summer and winter ESPN X Games. These events were instrumental in getting adaptive snowboarding added to the 2014 Paralympic Games.
In the spring of 2014, Amy inspired millions of fans with her stunning performances on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars, eventually becoming the show’s runner-up.
Amy has launched a line of clothing partnership with Element Eden The Amy Purdy Collection” and recently completed her first book New York Times Best Seller “On My Own Two Feet”

What can I say about Gary Vaynerchuk that you haven't already heard. In my mind, Gary is, among many things, a survivor.
He was born in the former Soviet Union and escaped with his parents at a young age to suburban New Jersey where they relocated and started life over from zero.
From his own stories and my own gut sense…to say that life was rough for Gary is probably a HUGE understatement. Gary has the mentality of a street fighter and the mouth of the most rogue pirate — who is unrivaled in his a mastery of swear words.
When you see the fire in his eyes—even now these 40 years later burning just a brightly— it’s not hard to imagine him as a kid with his so-called Jersey friends being exceptionally cruel.
I’m pretty sure Gary was bullied with intensity over many years and without mercy or relief. But instead of giving up, Gary fought back...or at least waited for his moment of revenge—even though it took 30 years to get to that place.
I can picture Gary’s stoic Russian father — working in their new liquor store start up —too busy making ends meet to support or even notice the emotional damage being inflicted on his little son. And a loving mother, who Gary always holds in the highest esteem, trying her best to counter-act Gary’s brutal days at school with healthy doses of praise, positivity and gratitude for living in their new free democracy in pursuit of the American Dream.
On the outside Gary looks like a Chihuahua. But on the inside he has the heart of a lion. He brags about being lousy at school to make a point that school isn’t all it’s cracked up to be—especially when your teachers label you a "loser" who will never amount to much. Gary has been quietly hell-bent on proving them all wrong even since.
Instead of spending a ton of money on college with no ROI, he’d suggest you eat dirt and couch surf for the first seven years while you shadow your work idol and squeeze every bit of wisdom and experience from them before venturing off on your own. Whether you’re 20…30 or 50-something, Gary will remind you that you’ve got to be patient.
BECAUSE.
YOU.
HAVE.
SOOOOOOO.
MUCH.
TIME.
Following Gary’s dogma can sometimes feel like multiple contradictions OR like trying to catch a blown up balloon that’s not tied off, as it whips around thru the air spastically and ultimately lands where you don’t expect it.
I get the sense that we are all witnesses to Gary’s self-awareness transformations in real time. Daily. Sometimes via 50 pieces of content a day.
Gary Vaynerchuk is the CEO of VaynerMedia, a full-service advertising agency servicing Fortune 100 clients. He also owns women’s brand PureWow and men’s lifestyle brand ONE37pm. VaynerSports, that reps pro athletes and 20 other business ventures.
Gary is a very popular and highly paid public speaker commanding over $100k per speech…he’s a 5-time New York Times bestselling author, who has written more books than he has personally read.
He is a prolific angel investor with early investments in companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Venmo, and Uber—although he will tell you that he passed on Uber twice—and this probably cost him a billion dollars.
Gary is currently the subject of DailyVee, an online documentary series highlighting what it’s like to be a CEO and public figure in today’s digital world, as well the host of The GaryVee Audio Experience, a top 100 global podcast, and host of #AskGaryVee, a business and advice Q&A show which can be found on both YouTube and Facebook.

Everyone knows that Icarus’s father made him wings and told him not to fly too close to the sun; he ignored the warning and plunged to his doom. The lesson: Play it safe. Listen to the experts. It was the perfect propaganda for the industrial economy. What boss wouldn’t want employees to believe that obedience and conformity are the keys to success?
But we tend to forget that Icarus was also warned not to fly too low, because seawater would ruin the lift in his wings. Flying too low is even more dangerous than flying too high, because it feels deceptively safe.
The safety zone has moved. Conformity no longer leads to comfort. But the good news is that creativity is scarce and more valuable than ever. So is choosing to do something unpredictable and brave: Make art. Being an artist isn’t a genetic disposition or a specific talent. It’s an attitude we can all adopt. It’s a hunger to seize new ground, make connections, and work without a map. If you do those things you’re an artist, no matter what it says on your business card.
Godin shows us how it’s possible and convinces us why it’s essential.
Dan Pink is the author of six outstanding books about business and human behavior. His books include the long-running New York Times bestsellers When and A Whole New Mind — as well as Drive and To Sell is Human. Dan’s books have won multiple awards, have been translated into 40 languages, and have sold millions of copies.
Before venturing out on his own 20 years ago, Dan worked in several positions in politics and government, including serving from 1995 to 1997 as chief speechwriter to Vice President Al Gore.
He did his undergrad at Northwestern and a JD from Yale Law School. He has also received honorary doctorates from Georgetown University, the Pratt Institute, and a few others. He is a die hard baseball fan rooting for the Washington Nationals baseball fan... DC, with his family.
Dan says, “We are all in sales now. And yet for some the mere mention of “Sales” conjures up images of the typical pushy—even “can’t trust him as far as I can throw him — car salesman who approaches you with fake enthusiasm upon visiting any given dealership. Some of us can sell snow to an eskimo…but for others, it ranks up there with public speaking as one of their least favorite things to do. Is being good at sales something we’re born with? Or can it be learned. If what Dan says is right—that we’re all in Sales now, I guess we should hunker down and figure this out.

Ryan Tedder is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer.

Tedder's production and songwriting work has proven commercially successful. "Apologize", performed by his band OneRepublic, "Bleeding Love", performed by Leona Lewis, and "Halo", performed by Beyoncé, all made it to the list of best-selling singles of all time.[2] In early 2014, Billboard named him "The Undercover King of Pop" and featured him on the magazine's cover. He is one of the producers on the reality show Songland. He is a three-time recipient of the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, due to his production credits on Adele's albums 21 and 25, and Taylor Swift's 1989.
His latest endeavor is a beverage called Mad Tasty--an all natural, hydrating, restorative water beverage with zero sugar, no calories and 20MG of hemp-extract with a flavor that’s shockingly good. I’ve tasted it.
This space is one of the most competitive CPG categories with the lowest success rate. And yet Ryan's charging hard again into what may seem like insurmountable odds to some, but for Ryan, it’s another chance to prove the nay-sayers wrong.

Somewhere along the way, we got distracted. As much as we multitask, love our devices and feel like we’re in control, deep down we know that something is off. Shortened attention spans, declines in critical thinking, lack of sleep, self-doubt and decreased creativity are just some of the effects coming to light in an age of digital distraction.
It’s time to reclaim our lives. It’s time to take control.

It turns out The "soft skills" like honestly, integrity and vulnerability have always been the most important to any kind of success. Ironically, unlike most other business related skills that can be taught, these skills must be developed because they are not inherent. I'm working on getting better in this area but admittedly it takes work. I like what author Brené Brown said: “Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” Here's a little video of me trying to put this into practice.
Blake Mycoskie is the Founder and Chief Shoe Giver of TOMS, and the person behind the idea of One for One®, a business model that helps a person in need with every product purchased.
A simple idea has grown into a global movement: TOMS Shoes has provided over 86 million pairs of shoes to children since 2006, TOMS Eyewear has restored sight to over 600,000 people since 2011 and TOMS Roasting Company has helped provide over 600,000 weeks of safe water since launching in 2014. In 2015, TOMS Bag Collection was founded with the mission to help provide training for skilled birth attendants and distribute birth kits containing items that help a woman safely deliver her baby. As of 2016, TOMS has supported safe birth services for over 25,000 mothers.
TOMS humble beginnings happened unintentionally. While traveling in Argentina in 2006, Blake witnessed the hardships faced by children growing up without shoes. His solution to the problem was simple, yet revolutionary: to create a for-profit business that was sustainable and not reliant on donations. Blake's vision soon turned into the simple business idea that provided the powerful foundation for TOMS.
Anne Wojcicki is the the co-founder and chief executive officer of the personal genomics company 23andMe. Was this a timely episode? Yes. As it happens, I'm personally and professionally involved in this topic of DNA tech. And it's not a subject that comes without controversy, critics and skepticism. I get it. It's complicated. While only some of the present positive and negative effects of any ripples (ala Golden State Killer captured by DNA tech) emerge, the jury is still out on what the future holds. My prediction is that it's going to be rough seas before it's smooth sailing. That said, I'm on board. I'm all in because, well, it's personal. I share some of my story here with Anne, I hope you enjoy!
