Welcome to Make More Marbles Podcast, in this episode Brad Hart is interviewed by Kyle Rodgers ( Founder of Scale Sales Teams). How a chance meeting at a mastermind event changed Kyle’s Life. Have you ever had a chance encounter that completely altered the course of your life? Well, for Kyle, a young entrepreneur with big dreams, that pivotal moment happened at a mastermind event organized by Brad’s friend. It all started when Brad insisted that Kyle attend that first mastermind event. Initially hesitant, Kyle decided to take a leap of faith and join the event, not knowing that it would be a decision that would change his life forever. As Kyle walked into the event venue, he was greeted by a room full of like-minded individuals, all eager to learn, grow, and network. Little did he know how that one single day would change his life. Brad shared his insights, experiences, and wisdom with Kyle, guiding him on his entrepreneurial journey and helping him navigate the challenges that came his way. Fast forward a few months, and Kyle found himself on a path to success that he had never imagined possible. Kyle’s business flourished, his network expanded, and his confidence soared. But more than just professional success, Kyle found lifelong friends. Their bond grew stronger with each passing day, rooted in a shared passion for entrepreneurship and a mutual desire to make a difference in the world. Why Strong Relationships Trump Money in Success? In the fast-paced world of business and entrepreneurship, one key ingredient often stands out as the ultimate game-changer: networking. The power of networking is not just about exchanging business cards or making small talk at events; it’s about forging strong relationships that can pave the way for success. It’s a common misconception that success is solely determined by the amount of money one has. While financial resources are undoubtedly important, they pale in comparison to the power of a strong network. Every successful story you hear about – whether it’s a thriving startup, a flourishing career, or a groundbreaking innovation – inevitably involves strong relationships. 1. Opportunities Abound: Networking opens doors to a world of opportunities that money alone cannot buy. Whether it’s landing a dream job, securing a lucrative partnership, or gaining valuable insights from industry leaders, the connections you build through networking can lead to opportunities that can propel your success to new heights. 2. Knowledge is Power: In the digital age, information is readily available at our fingertips. But the real power lies in the wisdom and insights shared by those within your network. By connecting with like-minded individuals, industry experts, and mentors, you can tap into a wealth of knowledge that can help you navigate challenges, make informed decisions, and stay ahead of the curve. 3. Support System: Success is not a solo journey; it often requires a strong support system to weather the inevitable storms along the way. Networking allows you to build a community of like-minded individuals who can offer guidance, encouragement, and a listening ear when you need it most. These relationships can provide the emotional support and motivation necessary to overcome obstacles and keep pushing forward. Importance of Building Relationships: Kyle’s success highlights the power of cultivating strong connections in achieving one’s goals. Building the right relationships opens doors and provides support that can propel one to greater heights. It showcases how success is often not just about individual efforts but also about the network of people who contribute to one’s journey. Achieving success in business involves more than just networking. It’s about finding the right balance between collaboration and competition. Networking may open doors, but it’s the blend of teamwork and individual effort that drives a business forward. Balancing these elements ensures a harmonious and effective a
Welcome to another episode of Make More Marbles Podcast with Brad Hart with guest Jackie Lapin (Founder of SpeakerTunity). In this episode, Jackie reveals her top tips for public speaking based on years of experience. Jackie’s first tip for public speaking is to always use a “Speaker One Sheet”. A “speaker one sheet” is also known as a “speaker sheet” or “one-pager”. A one-page document is used by event planners and conference organisers to help them find you. It’s a marketing tool that helps promote your brand and lets others see what you’re offering at a glance. Your speaker one sheet should consist of; 1. A great bio of you 2. 1 or 2 powerful pictures of you 3. 2 testimonials, hopefully from the people that booked you 4. On the backside have a variety of topics you cover. Tip Attach a single sheet to your speaker when sending your proposal letter (shouldn’t exceed 5 paragraphs). The first paragraph should be a summary of the message you’re delivering The second paragraph should be white about your credentials. The third paragraph should be a detailed description of your message, including bullet points. The fourth paragraph should be a call to action, usually setting up a meeting. Tip Must provide 3 to 5 minutes of really compelling video. In today’s digital age, video content has become an essential tool for speakers looking to expand their reach. One key tip for creating compelling video content is to ensure that your videos provide 3 to 5 minutes of truly engaging and valuable information. In a world where attention spans are getting shorter, it’s important to capture your audience’s interest quickly and keep them engaged throughout the video.

Welcome to another episode of Make More Marbles Podcast with Brad Hart with guest Justin Breen (Founder/CEO of BrEpic Network). In this episode, Justin discusses the two main components of becoming a visionary: Having the right IQ and having the right EQ balance. There are two types of geniuses: those with no genius brain and those with a genius heart. To become a visionary, you must have both. A true visionary has three attributes: 1. Be able to see things before other people 2. Live in full abundance 3. Only look at things as an investment and not as a cost 4. Have endless empathy, Empathy is the key to being a good visionary. Justin believes that most visionaries have some form of empathy, including ADD, mild Asperger’s, dyslexia, and Hi IQ or EQ. Most visionaries are triggered by major life events, such as bankruptcy, trauma, etc. Justin explains his Complexity graph he created himself to create abundance. He also goes thru Master Mindo’s graph of “Level of Consciousness”. Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal - Earl Nightingale How to become a visionary? According to Justin, you have to be born with all the right conditions to become one. It all comes down to two main components; The right amount of IQ and the right amount of EQ. Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and Emotional Quotient (EQ) are two types of intelligence that measure different abilities. Justin and Brad also discuss how Women have an unfair fight against men, even when it comes to become a visionary. Brad asked; In your opinion how do visionaries best increase their ability to communicate and how do they build structures to maximize their efforts. Every weakness that any visionary has, every “weakness” is an opportunity to find a collaborate strength. There are mainly 2 types of geniuses; 1. Genius Brain with no Genius Heart (Robots) 2. Genius Heart without Genius Brain (hippies, non-profit) But to become a visionary you have both, Genius Brain and Heart. According to Justin, most visionaries have at least one of these “trades”; 1. ADD 2. Mild Asperger 3. Dyslexia 4. Hi IQ or EQ Most visionaries are trigger by big life events like; 1. Bankruptcy 2. Trauma 3. High Anxiety 4. Depression Brad asked, if you could put a bumper sticker out for the whole world to see, what would it read; I’m a dad that happens to be an entrepreneur, and not an entrepreneur that happens to be a dad.

Welcome to Make More Marbles Podcast, in this episode Brad Hart and guest Chris Chandler-Yates ( Coaching / Motivational speaker ) speak about their vision to this new year. How to keep your new year’s resolutions. It is very common to see people get excited to start their resolutions and then soon after loose interest. You have to have the right mentality and understanding that each resolution, including when working in new projects, they take time to achieve. You have to stop looking at it as a temporary solution, it has to be long term to have some positive results. You have to have the right mindset, and think that you are going to keep going and not give up. What do I really want in my life before I die? That is the main question, that everybody should be asking themselves and focusing on fulfilling those goals. :: Valuable links :: :: Grab my books here: http://8minutemastermind.com :: Our Next Event: MastermindToMillions.live :: Join our BAM group https://buildamastermind.com/schedule-now :: Join our Skool Group: http://marbles.link/m2mgroup :: Three Buckets: MoneyMastermind.live/3buckets :: Block Dash: BlockDash.com :: Free Course: BlockDash.com/Free-Course :: Motorcycle Club: MotorcycleMastermind.com :: M.M.M. main website: MakeMoreMarbles.com As always if you need anything just reach out to us at support@makemoremarbles.com and please feel free to follow us for more great content on all social media platforms.
Welcome to another episode of Make More Marbles Podcast with Brad Hart. In this episode Brad talks with Mike Brown (what does he do?) about How to Create Unbreakable Wealth and Pass it on to Future Generations. Mike shares his personal journey starting from the beginning to what he has become today. From being part of the US Navy and how it transitioned into an investment firm, which ended up into an 8 figure exit. But also sharing his failing projects (so you don’t make the same mistakes), ended up shifting his carrier into coaching. It all leads back to the need to be able to master my emotions around money, before I can make it and keep it and so on. We only see a small portion of how the wealthy manage their portfolios. Their strategies are way less risky than we think. What happens with many money stories, we all have these idea embedded in our brains that rich people are evil. We grow up believing this concept, that money is root of all evil. So if we have this mentality, this way of thinking about money, most of us end up savaging ourselves. Because our brain, subconsciously, want to protect us from becoming evil. We have to look back and see where those believes come from, and try to rewire those believes in order to have the life we really want. Ultimately, it comes down to what each of us want out of life. Most people don’t have that clear, or are even terrified to think about it. In many cases, this is not an “income” problem, it becomes a “mindset” problem. So solving this mindset problem, is one of the most important steps to get where we want to go. Listen to the whole interview as Mike shares many other valuable money tips, like when to exit a profitable business, how to make good decisions with your money minimizing risk, and how AI may change the future of this and many other industries. AI is a new problem that our society is facing, and soon we’ll have to figure out a new system. A new way to make society work, even after many jobs will be obsolete.

Welcome to Make More Marbles Podcast, in this episode of “LIVE Mastermind Q&A” with Brad Hart and guest Chris Chandler-Yates ( Coaching / Motivational speaker ). Q&A How do you handle different room dynamics within your mastermind? You have to learn how to deal with people individually, and sometimes some people just need to feel heard. Ask clarifying questions and always try to build stronger bonds with people. Q&A What is the best time to have a meeting and how long should it last? It varies from time to time but lately what most of us agree is 1pm Pacific Time on Wednesday. But, there is never going to be a magical time that fits everybody. So you have to pick a time that is sustainable for YOU willingly meeting peoples needs whenever possible. Q&A What Price Should I Charge? How to value your mastermind can be tricky, but if you are able to look at it as a consumer, as a client. What price would you consider fair if it was you paying for it. And, that also can very from person to person. Brad talks about the 4 more important aspects of a mastermind; Promise Structure Positioning Pricing So if you don’t have the promise figured out, it’s going to be hard to nail down an accurate pricing. Then you have to keep in mind the structure that allows you to execute that promise. And finally positioning, which involves branding and marketing. All these aspects will help you determing a good price for your mastermind.

Welcome to Make More Marbles Podcast, in this episode of “Mastermind for Entrepreneurs” with Chris Chandler-Yates ( Coaching / Motivational speaker ), we talk about how to be resourceful in order to achieve success on all aspects of your life. The key is to have a good balance between your business life, your personal life and your personal health. Health, wealth and relationships! This week’s Chris shares some of his latest conversation with his personal trainer, and how that same philosophy can be applied to all aspects of life. There is always the same similar pattern that works the best for most aspects of your life. So in reality, the main philosophy that helped you succeed in one aspect of your life, may very well be applicable to many others. Decisions don’t require time, they require information. Since we are the only source of information on a particular topic, you need to ask all the right questions you need until have all the information you need to make a decision that can potentially change your life. Not having enough information about any subject can produce fear, and fear can almost paralyze you from achieving any goal. The only thing that can defeat fear is courage! That leap of faith as some call, and trusting that it will work out. And you can experience this at any level, “new level, new devil”.

Welcome to another episode of Make More Marbles Podcast. On today’s episode (replay) we talk with Cameron Herold author of great books and also founder of COO Alliance. They have 170 full time members of the COO Alliance and looking to get at least 250 by end of year, and 500 over the next few years. They are also going to launch a closed, private Facebook Community, probably this year, with a possible much lower price point and take that up to about 5,000 to 10,000 members. His book, Second in Command came out on January 24th and he personally did the audio version of the book. Most often we hear about the CEO/COO side of the business but not the entrepreneurial side for the operations. What made it easier for Cameron Herold to become a great writer and an entrepreneur was when he met Tucker Max and Zach Oberon at a Mastermind group, Mastermind Talks. He was able to connect with them through their company, Book in a Box, which has now become Scribe; he agreed to do three books with them. Herold states that he is able to use their ways to easily put the ideas he has in his head into print. He is also a small investor and advisor to Scribe. Want to learn more about Masterminds?

Time stamped show notes:
[01:12] When Taryn was 17 years old, she drove across the US to audition for American Idol. She was on the show for a couple of months and competed in the finals. She forgot all of her lyrics on a national TV. She was determined that she would never perform in front of the camera again.
[01:49] Went to college and studied Anthropology, instead of performing arts.
[05:32] After college, went back to LA to host a pilot for Discovery Channel that led her to pursue jobs in the entertainment industry.
[05:43] She was also a writer, producer, and digital media personality/YouTuber.
[08:24] Movements that have taken over Hollywood and other industries
[08:45] Taryn: I think I would have a very different perception as to how to go about this industry and perceiving my own power.
[11:45] Humans are complicated, and a lot of us have made mistakes. Figure out how to move through these situations and come out being transparent and being more accepting and open minded so we don’t leave things happening in the darkness.
[12:015] We just needed to be mad. Kill the monster while it's small, and don’t wait until it’s hurting other people.
[16:27] Started more and more YouTube videos around 2012, and it became clear that she can make it for a living doing that. She quit everything else around 2014.
[16:47] She also worked for a lot of companies to produce digital content for them, help them with their digital media strategy, get influencers into their videos. It was interesting and fun, but she realized that around 2016 she was burnt out.
[17:55] She was burnt out, and she thought that this was not self-sustainable.
[18:17] She was dis-empowered by the algorithms.
[19:16] She started getting excited about AR VR Communities. She learned how to make VR Content, 360 and animated content.
[20:06] Started playing around with AI and released a couple of singles that she composed using AI programs: IBM Watson and Amper, Google Magenta, Iva.
[20:31] How AI changed the process: It depends on the AI platform and what it is build to do by different software engineers. The process really is not that different from working with a human collaborator; it just depends on the skill sets that your other collaborators bring to the table.
[25:26] Humans are so biased and myopic in our thinking. In some ways, she thinks AI will going to be a big eye opener for us.
[25:56] Project that was upturned by the latest event: It’s a documentary that explores what it means to be human by following scientists.
[27:35] She thinks we are moving to this era of self-directed evolution, where we can pick anything basically with synthetic biology, and with AI we can create anything we want outside of ourselves.
[29:24] Crypto: Started a group with two other girl friends called Ladies of Crypto, a Facebook group.
[36:19] Artist are supported through advertisers, and she thinks that's destroying the art.
[38:03] Exciting things learned in the last year: She can’t believe how fast everything is moving with technology. Implications of this in our society are so huge.
[43:00] Taryn: I wish everyone knew that there is no one path to success. Being curious and flexible on your thinking and way of being is probably one of the greatest tool that you can have in your token right now.
Three key points:
- Perceiving your own power.
- There are new ways to bring people together, collaborate, incentivize creative collaborations.
- Everything is moving with technology.

[01:25] Grounding story: When she was 16, she was already applying for every scholarships that she could find because her parents did not have the money to send her to college. She applied for a scholarship from a tobacco company, and she got it. She got $10,000 in the mail.
[01:52] She felt weird about using money from big Tobacco to go to college.
[02:27] She was 17 she went to Ghana.
[02:31] She graduated from school early and worked in a school for blind kids. She lived in a village where people made a $1.50 a day on average.
[02:41] She saw poverty upclose for the first time, and she was shocked by the fact that so many really talented people, who could read and write in English, just didn’t have job opportunities.
[03:23] We think that we are gonna save these poor starving people by giving them aide, but what they really need is work.
[03:48] She decided to make it her mission to give work to the low income people to help them move out of poverty.
[03:54] The most ethical kind of relationship we can have with someone with a different background is through some kind of mutually beneficial interaction and that what trade really is. Specially for paying people fair wages and work trading unfair terms, that’s what her work is all about.
[04:22] Now, the largest data services in East Africa, they employ nearly 2,000 full-time people, and they became profitable last year as a non-profit social enterprise.
[04:38] They started with grants and donations but were able to fund their own operations through business revenue.
[04:46] The most remarkable thing is they moved people permanently out of poverty.
[05:00] They now make $8 a day, a better income, and it’s like moving to a middle income.
[05:07] Strong poverty reduction. Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. They don’t just give men and women fish for a day. They are teaching them how to fish and showing them the path from fishing to a digital economy.
[05:47] The mission of LXMI is similar--to give work to the supply chain, but instead of doing it through data services, they are doing it through sourcing rare ingredients from low income places through a supply chain to benefit women. They harvest their raw ingredients from Northern Uganda through women's cooperatives.
[12:08] Now she has amazing team of people who are really good at stuff where she is terrible at. They make each other better.
[12:55] You cannot have full control over everything, every single detail. You have to empower people and let them occasionally make mistakes for them to take full ownership.
[15:32] She got really sick and went through operations. It was a wakeup call for her.
[18:19] Changed lifestyle: More aware of what a gift good health is. Grateful everyday that Im not waking up in a hospital. I am more a little less impatient, a part of it that me to that situation is chronic stress and always impatient. I’m always feeling that not hitting objectives for myself, we are not moving fast enough. That constant stress is really bad for immune system, body and causes aging.
[21:05] Most people overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in ten.
[24:19] If you want to help these people who are born in poverty or less material wealth than we do, the best way to help them is to view them as producers, as equals on a level field and buy from them.
[24:22] If you care about women in the developing world, and if you care about violence against women, then buy from women. Don’t patronize them by just giving them a hand out.
Three key points:
- Strong poverty reduction.
- You cannot have full control over everything, every single detail. You have to empower people and let them occasionally make mistakes for them to take full ownership.
- Better to give work to make their income sustainable, than giving a hand out.

[01:04] Tommy grew up in South America.
[01:34] Growing up, he knew early on that the traditional route for working for somebody else was not for him.
[01:37] He started an eBay business when was super young.
[01:47] For the fitness and gym industry, where he is right now, he is looking for problems through different angles.
[02:07] Not fitting in was actually gift for him. Because it allowed him to be creative and fall in love looking back in the mirror, falling in love with yourself.
[05:42] Tommy: He started helping people extract personal power and clarity.
[06:20] Once they have the clarity, allow them the space to create a bold vision that moves them emotionally.
[11:40] Growth happens in an intersection of support and challenge.
[12:07] There are a lot of lessons that we can learn that are right in front of us. We don’t have to go somewhere; we can just open our eyes a little bit more.
[14:22] If you don't address the physical, it will be become very hard to address the higher states.
[14:30] Tommy shared about his Spiritual Fitness Practice. It does involve a few moving parts, but it allows him to achieve the highest emotional state as possible, with a minimum amount of work. It’s called Spiritual Fitness. Involves 5 emotional components, you have to be warmed up.
[17:24] Tommy: Once you're already in the peak state, you have to protect it. We give our energy to stimulus, distraction, or maybe to social media, etc.
[29:09] Is your environment pulling you toward the powerful vision and the feelings that you want to feel, or is it holding you back and reminding who you’ve been or where you’ve been?
[29:25] Your vibration really does attracts everything in your life.
[35:51] People want authenticity that creates connection, creates a powerful support system.
[37:38] It’s never gonna be perfect, but we can collapse the time that we’re going down the wrong road and pull toward where we want to go.
[39:10] Ready means you are open. Ready means surrender.
[44:04] Tommy: I want to help people place their self-esteem in their identity around the daily process, not the outcome. Because when we do that, we live a fulfilled life.
Three key points:
- Falling in love with yourself.
- Extracting personal power and clarity.
- Readiness

[01:02] Sean grew up as an immigrant. Born in Korea and came to Canada when was about 7 years old. He understands the loneliness that you feel when you are in place like a foreign country and you can’t communicate to anyone.
[01:26] Sean: Surrounding yourself with people who speak multiple languages and come from multiple cultures is the key to break down barriers in world today.
[06:19] Sean talked about how they started. They early days were just grinding it out in the first year and a half. They started with a blog. Before they came up with the idea, they knew they wanted to be in the language space because of the open market.
[08:15] They didn’t have capital or an angel investor. It was 100% customer funded. They really had to hustle and push out value, and it eventually paid off for them.
[10:28] Sean: Knowledge definitely not a problem. It’s simply a lack of discipline, focus, and guidance to fall on a path that is oftentimes going to be a little bit longer than you originally thought.
[12:44] Brad: If you have an engine that's fueled by money, the more money you put in here, the more money that comes out over here.
[20:53] Seans’ journey and failures: Biggest thing that people can relate to, when he started first business they raised capital and last year in university. He dropped out to full time on the business.
[23:51] He was also rejected from US Border after first fulling his business, get a job in New York where he was denied a visa and sent home.
[24:11] In Toronto, about month and half, he was homeless. Lived in hostel for first week and slept on a friend’s couch.
[24:27] His original goal in Argentina was just to stay there for three months and go back to Toronto.
[25:36] The idea of Rype started when he was working, and he was making decent money in Colombia. He realized that he has been on this trip 8 months and did not know Spanish.
[25:41] This is where the idea to help busy people learn effectively in an affordable way came through.
[27:45] Eventually they started creating 4 figures a month, then 5 figures a month, and just started growing and growing from there.
[28:17] Biggest challenges along the way being a one man team.
[32:50] What’s next for Sean: The vision and mission is to continue to grow. The high level of mission is help people that are busy, that are impacting world improve. Next move is shifting into a different industry. Initially they want to help people with languages, but eventually they are going to help people learn faster by reading books faster, optimize health, mental mindsets.

[00:49] Jared teaches people how to think like a futurist.
[02:04] Jared shared a story about his turning point. He remembers that around 2008 he stopped and couldn’t believe he was still in an insurance business.
[03:21] Jared clarified that he loves being able to solve problems, provide solutions, fight on behalf of his clients.
[04:47] Jared: The key is being genuine. Have a genuine heart to serve people, help people, and to help them create a better future and a better life.
[05:54] Jared’s Philosophy: We have to change our perceptual location.
[08:17] Jared: The thing that I found to be the most powerful experience was watching individual people transform inside my organizations.
[08:30] Jared: I left one industry to get into another to make a bigger impact. I had to continue moving down that path to reach more people and to teach more people.
[09:07] Jared: Amazing things happen when you get clear internally about what impact I’m trying to make and what massage I’m putting out there, how am I reaching folks.
[12:24] How are other industries moving this kind of direction where they can talk about the future as if it's a far of place, but it’s also right here now. How do we align future vision reality right now so this organization can actually win based on what already is true about humans, what they already want, and how to get aligned with that?
[17:55] People need to be told that it is okay not to have the answers right now, and they don't have to go to one extreme with another.
[19:20] Give yourself permission to go places that seem impossible.
[22:15] If you you keep focusing on your fear, you cannot take action toward anything.
[30:01] Influence the conversation to empower the future you want to see.
Three key points:
- Make a better impact and contribute more.
- Have a genuine heart to serve people, help people, to help them create a better future and a better life.

[19:05] Differences between USA and Ireland (people, customs, culture, etc) - how they have become a struggle or an advantage
[19:47] For many people it is necessary to move away from their environment to be able to recreate themselves
[21:27] He needed to leave Ireland to really give himself freedom to reinvent himself
[22:53] Failure is not encouraged in the USA, but it’s accepted in a way that it is not anywhere else in the planet.
[23:43] America is a place of possibility. The fact that anyone can become president is not a negative, it’s a positive.
[35:57] Ask yourself: Are you really connected to the job you’re doing? Are you really living with the people you love? Are you really happy with your life? Be honest and then make your move.

[03:20] Allen lost his mom and went through a quarter-life crisis.
[03:43] He did not have a definite purpose in life.
[04:11] He met his business partner, Katherine, in an entrepreneur program.
[04:52] They became accountability partners for a year and started a joint venture.

[01:41] Drew chased the wrong things for most of his youth.
[04:52] Failures set up challenges. As you face challenge after challenge, each successive one does not seem so scary.
[05:22] There is something powerful about the scars that you carry around because you can look at them and remind yourself you’ve beaten every challenge.
[06:10] He managed to have this kind of exciting ride that brought him to a place where he could be happy with his life and career.
[12:13] When you don't know what to do in a business situation, ask yourself: what would the other person want me to be during this situation?
[17:38] Money is not an indication that you are doing things right.
[18:34] If you make bad choices, do not panic. You have plenty of time to make a bunch of good ones.
[27:20] Happiness is not possible without forgiveness. Most of your life, the number one thing you can do that will instantly make your life better is to forgive.
[28:35] Leaders don’t care about winning; they care about succeeding. The only way to succeed is to let go of the idea of winning, and not forgiving is always about winning.
[32:30] Leadership comes from consistency above anything else. A lot of things we chase in goals are byproducts of our daily behaviors.
[36:30] Compounding is the biggest and powerful force in the universe.
[49:56] Leadership removes fear to help people succeed and politics adds fear to win.
Three key points
- Failure creates scars. There is something powerful about the scars that you carry around because you can look at them and remind yourself you’ve beaten every challenge.
- Identify core values that thrive you.
- Leadership removes fear to help people succeed.

[02:15] Brad asks Terri what are the things that people can do to better to understand each other.
[02:55] It’s a matter of looking at a place of abundance rather than scarcity
[03:05] People who are empowered do not fully understand that those of us trying to get access to level it do not think the way they do.
[04:07] Believe before we disbelieve.
[12:33] Angel Investor
[21:13] Equity crowdfunding and ICOs
[21:34] Looking to leverage syndicates, network with the people she knows that are interested in investing in startups.
[22:30] One problem Larry sees is that there are not lot of female syndicate leads, but its primarily male-focused platforms.
[25:03] Syndication opportunity: There are lot of women who are not comfortable with taking big risks and sees syndicating deals as an opportunity for them to develop wealth.
[27:21] Terri shared about ICO
[31:43] Angel Investing is a part-time gig. She’s actually doing consulting and expert witness work to fund the investing habit.
[32:15] The fastest way to pay the wealth is to add more value to people and therefore increase your income. Increase something in value and sell it; increase your income above your cost. Use additional money that you care about.
[33:29] We don’t have to live in place of scarcity. There is enough to go around. The more you share, the more you give away and the more it comes back it to you.
[33:59] Shift your mindset so that you are coming from a place of abundance and know that you are enough.
Three key points
- Believe before you disbelieve.
- Increase something in value and sell it; increase your income above your cost. Use additional money that you care about.
- We don’t have to live in a place of scarcity. There is enough to go around. The more you share, the more you give away and the more it comes back it to you.

[29:58] Always file a provisional patent application. Don’t be afraid. Find companies that embrace creators/creative people.
[34:39] Make a choice to use your voice.
[37:59] Things he laments have changed.
[38:03] It is hard to manage yourself with all the distractions.
[38:30] Be selective with who you listen to.
[40:58] He hopes we haven’t lost the ability to entertain ourselves when we’re alone by using our creativity.
[43: 03] He’s trying to figure out how to do more with less.
Three key points:
- Listen to what their needs are and give them that content.

[10:42] When the market changed [2007], they pivoted and started teaching agents how to go after the distressed market.
[14:12] Rule: Don’t follow your passion. Your passion will betray you.
[17:12] Passion is an emotion tied to ego.
[17:35] People who follow their passion only work/achieve at a high level when they feel a certain way about something.
[19:58] Doing what you don’t want to do, when you don’t want to do it, at the highest level
[25:34] When you’re trying to help someone, your ego can’t be the loudest voice.
[28:10] Ego = fear
[28:18] There’s two types of fear: (1) psychological and (2) physical
[29:46] Psychological fear = ego fear
[31:59] Psychological fear is optional.

[00:43] Failures that made him who he is today | Dropped out of college
[1:52] A couple of the businesses he started were started with $200 each. One he had to shut down, and one he had to sell. He got a better business education than he would have in college.
[2:52] You want to have small, steady failures that course correct instead of one catastrophic failure that wipes you out .
[4:12] Time your IPO perfectly.
[4:31] Domesticate our failures so that they recur often, frequently, and smaller so they become ways for us to learn.
[6:36] People have a better chance to participate. Things are getting better.
[7:09] This is the best time to make things happen. There’s never been as many tools, as much money, as much knowledge.
[7:36] The future will be even better.
[9:05] The biggest AI companies today are sitting on a lot of data.
[11:20] There’s two kinds of people looking at the future: those who have to see it to believe it and those who believe it in order to make it real.
[13:33] Not everything that is strange, wonderful, or wild is going to become true.
[14:53] Doing, not thinking, is the solution to all the problems in the world.
[16:13] Kevin believes AI will become a commodity like electricity.
[21:14] One of the ways in which our economic infrastructure will shift is in the invention of new institutional forms.
[22:31] There will be a increase in scale [economics].
[25:25] We need to have tolerance for natural monopolies (like Facebook).
[27:50] We’re constantly inventing ways to have a winner take all, new verticals. There is an infinite amount of verticals.
[28:35] His most unpopular idea that he believes is ‘the thing’: anonymity in the internet is a bad thing.
[29:35] He believes ending anonymity on the internet would end bullying, harassment, etc.
[30:05] Anonymity is like sales. In small amounts, it is harmless, but in large amounts, it is toxic.
[36:26] He believes a world government is necessary at this time (taxes, police, leadership, tackling problems at the global level).

[0:49] About Skymind - Artificial Intelligence company, bringing AI out of the lab and into the real world
[2:00] People should know: AI is just math and code, not magic.
[4:05] The thing AI and capitalism have in common: they are accelerants.
[6:34] AI will introduce us to more environments to try and serve our needs better.
[9:16] Consistency can move mountains and carve rivers and mountains.
[10:49] As chips get more powerful, AI can get powerful.
[12:43] What is quantum computer?
[15:25] What would quantum supremacy achieve?
[18:34] We need to gather data on what type of art causes each emotion so that then we can produce meaningful art.
[19:24] He believes we can create really strong AI, which might be stronger than us.
[22:13] We program AI’s values. They learn from what we teach them.
[24:25] Collaboration is the way we win.
[25:50] Sarcasm kills intimacy.
[27:06 ] He was born in Montana - a very rural state. He realized that there’s a big world out there that has to be explored.

[28:07] The great divide is urban vs. rural (especially in the USA now).
[28:39] He worked as a journalist for 10 years.
[29:08] Paris is no longer welcoming to artists. Now it’s very bourgeois.
[30:00] He learned to code in the evenings while being a journalist. And then he went to work for a company where he met his co-founder.
[31:19] He never thought he would be the head of a company. He had to grow into it.
[31:43] Being the head of a company is a big moral project: to give people a place they can work, where they have a supportive work environment, and make sure everyone is communicating well.
[32:20] Leadership lesson he’s learned: communicate more - get in contact and listen.
[33:25] They (at Skymind) communicate asynchronously.
[33:43] They (at Skymind) use Basecamp.
[33:52] They (at Skymind) schedule weekly calls.
[34:02] Live conversation is better than an email. Make an effort to get on the phone.
[36:27] Skymind is working toward profitability. They just had their first $1M year.
[41:13] AI starts with the collection of data and it has to be aligned with the outcomes you want to predict.
[42:25] What he wishes to leave the world as his legacy/words of wisdom: for people to follow their nose when finding what their passion is and what they want to create

[0:25] About Jayson: his book (Mastermind Dinners) and his events (Mastermind Talks)
[1:57] He grew his business to $7M a year for over 4 years without outside investment.
[2:06] He was pursuing the 4-hour work week, started to question to his life, and decided to sell his business.
[4:29] He started having mastermind dinners.
[5:06] He didn’t begin charging for the dinners. He was paying for them out of pocket.
[5:29] Had an opportunity to do a dinner with Tim Ferriss
[8:28] “Ignorance, confidence, and hard work can go a long way.”
[8:45] After his first event was a success, he decided to do another one, and he continued doing more.
[10:06] After meeting Tim Ferriss, Brad had the opportunity to go to Africa with Tim.
[12:13] Tim Ferris has had an incredible impact on entrepreneurs.
[13:30] He initially wanted to be like a Ted Talk but for entrepreneurs.
[15:10] Essence of Mastermind Talks: great people, great food, great experiences
[16:28] How he keeps the community growing all year long
[18:03] The biggest shift he’s had in terms of business
[19:48] He scales by raising the price point and the caliber of people attending.
[21:48] The selection process is the hardest thing. There is a process for vetting.
[22:50] His goal is to build the best peer group for 7- and 8-figure entrepreneurs.
[24:04] How he manages all his relationships
[26:58] He has a desire to go deeper with his relationships. It's not about meeting more people.
[28:50] The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say "No" to almost everything.
[29:24] Connecting with connectors
[30:52] How he recharges
[32:58] How he keeps the family unit going | How his family supports him
[33:37] He makes travel about family, even when its about work. His wife is also involved in the business.
[35:29] Entrepreneurs need to realize that they can combine family, work, and wellness creatively. Don’t let it fall by the wayside.
[37:12] The importance of rapport
[38:48] His podcast is divided into seasons, and every season is themes. It makes it easier to commit to a season rather than be stuck in a content creation hamster wheel.
[40:48] How he gives back
[41:21] He has a “biggest fan budget,” not a marketing budget.
[41:40] If you want to care about somebody, care about what they care about or who they care about.
[45:41] "There is more to life than increasing its speed." - Ghandi
[45:56] We’re always measuring up and comparing our lives to what we see on Instagam.

[4:15] Change in the algorithms wiped out his SEO rankings and that eliminated his income.
[5:26] He created the Entrepreneur House to get entrepreneurs together to grow their businesses and travel.
[7:00] What business means to him and how he sees it change it in the future
[7:12] Business is an opportunity to control your personal growth and create your lifestyle without having to be controlled by other people and finances.
[10:41] What can you rely on as an entrepreneur to stay constant?
[14:07] Top people he follows and a questions he would ask them
[18:30] What he [Richard] has learned about creation vs promotion
[18:49] He started podcasting without researching how to get it ranked on iTunes or how to get reviews. He focused on content.
[20:22] Be adaptable as much as possible. Flow like water, because things are always going to change.
[21:54] How does he find people who are aligned with his vision and incentivizes them?
[23:09] If you think it’s the right person and they’re not willing to be on the same page as you, then they’re probably not the right person.
[23:40] Things happen naturally, and the right people will come at the right time.
[25:17] Sometimes being too close to the process forbids you from doing things right.
[28:28] Let people do their job.
[29:36] Lesson he forgot and had to re-learn | Lesson he learned years ago
[29:55] “This problem will pass.”
[34:28] Find out what you truly desire in life and go after that.

[3:24] She was the operator/co-owner of a company someone else founded.
[4:19] She didn’t grow up in an entrepreneurial family. Her family was blue-collar.
[6:25] Entrepreneurship is like an upward spiraling staircase.
[7:17] It’s good to goal set, but what do you have to do to evolve into the woman that deserves to achieve those goals?

[22:25] Business start out because you want a better a life, but eventually it becomes a means of value transfer (giving to get).
[23:35] One of her money stories was: it’s very hard to make money.
[24:53] Make enough marbles so that everyone can have food, water, and shelter. When the basics are covered, what does it look like when everyone can be creative without thinking about the basics?
[26:53] She wants to help women so that they don’t worry about the basics.
[27:18] The more women entrepreneurs who are abundant and giving to the world, out of the stress, the more the world benefits from the giving.

[1:43] Live with abandon instead of dying with regret.
[1:52] What Project Fuel does - share stories and fuel people to reach their potential
[2:11] Project Fuel - collects life lessons from around the world (human wisdom)
[2:55] Deepak’s life journey
[3:02] His journey started with his mother, who was pulled out of school because girls in India at the time were not allowed to study.
[4:05] When he asked his mother what her education was, she answered that life taught her.
[4:41] Her experience made him believe that everyone who is living is learning something.
[5:22] As he grew, he realized that learning from other was not to avoid mistakes, but to make newer and unique mistakes and avoid the mistakes others have made.
[6:07] At 17, he was given a book deal.
[6:33] He started to design the life lessons in different ways: poems, games, etc.
[6:54] His idea grew through word of mouth. It became a movement/organization.
[7:24] Examples of how people have been transformed
[8:02] Favorite lesson #1: wash your socks regularly.
[8:52] Favorite lesson #2: try to relate to everyone with a sense of humor.
[9:42] Business side of Project Fuel: advertising, revenue, virality, etc.
[10:02] Project fuel grew organically.
[10:59] Primary source of revenue: workshops
[12:04] Launched Project Fuel’s online store
[13:05] Learning from “regular people” not only “gurus”
[13:52] Sex worker lesson: value your own work. The value is of the person; the work is second.
[14:23] Sex worker lesson: “Interpretation is a dangerous weapon; use it wisely.”
[16:55] Stepping into people’s shoes can be enlightening.
[18:06] Painted houses with stories from who live in the village
[19:15] Don’t judge people by how they make money.
[20:10] Ego vs. spirit
[20:20] “Man plans; God laughs.”
[20:51] “When you know better, you do better.” - Maya Angelou
[21:10] There’s different ways of telling the same story.
[22:51] Where he sees Project Fuel going | 5 year plan
[23:26] Wants to have an app or a digital tool. Is in the process of building but is in the process of finalizing.
[23:36] In the next 5-10 years, he wants Project Fuel to close. He doesn’t believe the success of the organization is when it is no longer needed, because it is part of the culture.
[25:05] “The purpose of life is not to become a star; it is to become a constellation.”
[28:08] He has no story framework. People don’t want to talk to someone who has an agenda. Listen as much as you can.
[29:52] Never ask people what their life is directly. Ask them what is the piece of advice you would give to your most loved person right now?”
[30:15] Be patient. Listen to as much as you can. Be open to vulnerability. You’re not ready to take if you’re not ready to give.

- Over-preparing is a waste of time. Makes you second guess things
- Entrepreneurship is important but we shouldn’t obsess with it. Instead, we need to find solutions that are working and cocreate those. Connecting people to good ideas

[1:07] His journey
[6:24] Three things about health and diet that is cutting edge
[7:18] 90% of all the cells that make us are non-human
[7:27] 99% of the genetic material that are in us are not human genes
[7:43] Human genes are not numerous. The key to most things is whether a gene is turned off or on (epigenomics)
[8:02] Bacteria control much of what happens to us. We’re condominium/home to bacteria. We need to keep their ‘home’ in great shape to benefit us
[11:11] Figure out what your ‘bugs’ want to eat
[12:03] Good bugs vs bad bugs
[13:17] Feel good hormones are manufactured by bacteria
[13:32] Bad bugs send messages to the brain so we eat the foods they like → simple sugars and saturated fats
[15:44] all the bacteria are female. We were inoculated by our mothers when they gave birth to us with her set of bacteria
[18:45] Skin is a good measurement of what you’re feeding your microbium
[19:09] Raw food is a good diet, but is hard to keep up. You can spot a raw foodist by they skin → they glow
[20:48] Blood type diet
[24:17] Plants don’t want to be eaten so they’ve worked out defense systems agaist their predators
[26:12] All plants have lectins (bad) the longer we have been eating a plant, as a species, the more our bodies have become accustomed/tolerant to those lectins. E are used to eating leaves, and roots (taro, jicama, yuca, etc.)
[27:20] Grains and beans contain lectins that we’re not used to. These lectins are pretty nice. Rice is the lectin of the castor bean, a few molecules in rice will kill human beings by coagulating their blood
[28:42] Cooking and rinsing beans helps, but it doesn’t remove all the lectins
[35:43] Get a pressure cooker
[39:19] Problem with most gluten free foods is that they are sugar delivering devices
[40:24] Look for resistant starches as next go to food
[44:35] Fats he recommends
[46:35] Act like an Italian, Greek or Spanish → bring olive oil to table and pour on thing
[46:56] Eat butter from France, italy or Switzerland
[47:18] Avocados are great for you
[47:35] You need to have oils to absorb nutrients in vegetables you eat
Three key points:
- Bad bugs send messages to the brain so we eat the foods they like → simple sugars and saturated fats
- Get a pressure cooker
- Look for resistant starches as next go to food

[0:42] When he realized what he wanted to do with his life
[3:02] He became fixated with Oracle and built a technology company
[4:24] Oracle had a lot of problems when he first became involved

[6:40] He’s always been a fan of the enterprise space
[6:51] The next big shift in technology: real world context
[7:53] He started his first company because he wanted to aim his phone in the real world. Find a boat in real time and give him information on it.
[9:34] His view of life in 2020-2025: privacy is gone

[20:44] He invents “cockroaches”: financed to the tune of being able to run and withstand economic catastrophe.
[21:03] There’s a time and place for every startup. The reason for failure is you’re only trying to hit a homerun.
[29:41] Making your future is important, but something has to happen to say, the way we are building and using money is become so toxic, what’s going to defend us from the next crisis?
[33:23] Always invest in the underlying
[33:42] Plant a lot of seeds to see which one sticks.
[36:07] The IPO is not the end of your responsibility
[40:44] it is difficult to forecast when we’re living in such a crazy time.
[40:50] Forecast future: keep your head up. Create something. File patents.
[42:58] (1) Authenticity is important.
[45:03] (2) Respect and seek out talent
[45:49] (3) Humility to not reverse engineer one’s career and progression in a company

[00:47] Introduction to two twelve
[01:38 ] Question: Tell us about your hero's journey and where you are at.
[02:03] Background of sam parr
[03:20] Introduction to Air Bed and Breakfast
[05:05] Sam Parr introduces the company “The Hostile” that he started and where it is now
[06:35] We grew up fast by creating a great community and by creating contact.
[08:50] They are hooked because of our mission
[09:20] Our ambassador group has a lot of really high quality people
[11:47] Its okay not to know and i'll figure it out along the way
[14:30] So what we do really well is we find information the we believe is useful to our users and make it incredibly engaging by being really good writers.
[16:16] i believe as of now breaking news is a bit of a commodity
[19:02]] we are trying to target HENRY'S, High Earners Not Rich Yet
[21:24] We are polarizing in that we take stances on things
[21:38] We are kind of outsiders, i feel like we are outsiders in many aspects
[22:58] im not going to read that but i'll read something because i believe that is valuable.
[23:08] Understanding how to manipulate people, in a good way or a bad way,to influence people to do what you want them to do, is the most important skill set you can ever learn.
[24:58] That's the goal, to influence certain action
[25:39] One thing that we have struggled on as a company as we've grown is selecting which products will help us grow and which ones sucked and which ones were amazing.
[26:15] I want to give people better information to make better decisions throughout their day.
[28:06] You have to have values to back up what you are actually doing in the world.
[28:43] And so the actions we are trying to influence there is that for people to be suspicious about what they are consuming because it's crap.
[32:23] asks- will a lot of these companies have affiliates
[33:07] i believe that a media company will have multiple streams of revenue.
[33:44] the cool thing about media today is that there isn't that many politics.
[35:19] If you have a computer or a cell phone, you can reach a lot more people than alot of these media companies can.
[36:49] that took me a long time to learn i was really intimidated for a while about what media meant.
[37:23] just get really good at telling your story and you'll stick out big time and i think that far to many people don't look at what they are trying to do as a skill set and you have to get better at your craft.
[37:45] What are some of the ways we can support you?
[37:56] if you want to help us spread the word that'd be great, become an ambassador and sign up for the Hostile.
[38:23] one of the things i learned early on is that starting something and growing something requires entirely different skill sets.
Three key points
- You have to have the correct midgets to build and grow a company.
- Understanding how to manipulate people can be very useful.
- Get yourself out there, get in contact with people who can help you grow.

[22:51] (1) Before you sell or design anything, set up a simple landing page that is a title, your promise and an opt in (“register to receive this”)
[24:14] Bots are the highest engaged tool in the market right now

[25:05] Email is a great tool, but people receive too much of it.
[25:34] (2) Send them to an opt in page or Facebook messenger to download.
[25:54] (3) Free plus shipping. If you don’t have a free plus shipping do a standard liquidating offer.
[27:39] (4) micro continuity- something you can offer in a monthly basis
[28:30] (5) webinar - you don’t have to give your webinar for free, you can charge for it, but you need to deliver more value
[28:56] (6) Bootcamp or master class
[29:43] (7) Application - high ticket
[30:00] You can use 1-7 if you have physical products
[32:08] Funnel - the process you want people to follow to achieve something
[32:54] 3 step funnel - (1) call to action, (2) confirmation and (3) upsell

[17:20] You can be successful doing things you’re good at but don’t love
[19:40] Wealth creation journey not A to B.
[20:58] “Access” is much deeper. What is access?
[21:33] You can own them [access: capital, ideas, etc.], rent them, borrow them.
[22:40] Economy is changing from owning economy to access based economy
[24:27] Return on his podcast is access to influence not direct revenue

[15:18] People get hung up on the idea, and operate out of fear.
[17:14] Red flag when he’s [Dean] looking at a business venture: when scarcity is the driver
[22:47] The only reason why you can close a deal is because you built a relationship first.
[24:45] We’re wired to see what’s wrong in a situation.
[25:20] Event + Response = Outcome
[30:25] If you look at anything you do in life at scarcity you will act under pressure.

[01:12] What has made him what he is today.
[01:27] He left prison with $25 in his pocket.
[08:17] Drive has taken him to where he’s at.
[13:00] Without sales the world would be full of cool things no one knows about.
[13:56] If you’re not a sales guy, hire someone. Set a pay structure in which they get paid every month, so you get a month of work
[14:25] Second person you need to hire is someone that supports you and the sales guy.
[15:17] His first sales funnel was with loan officers.
[18:22] Just start with one thing (like a landing page). Don’t get hung up on having “everything”. Get moving. Get momentum.
[18:51] Once you’re in motion, life will start showing up and providing.
[20:03] Adopted at age 7 and ran away from home at 15.
[20:27] Learned his parents weren’t going to help. Learned not not to rely on anyone.
[21:41] Decided to do it on his own. He feels free. He doesn’t feel like he owes anybody.
[25:15] Next goal: make $21 million a year.
[27:12] Same people have been controlling the world of many years. If he helps create more millionaires, things can change because they will exert influence to make this a more business friendly planet.
[33:10] There’s room for everyone in the market.
[36:30] What he thinks of the future: most sales jobs while be gone.
[36:47] You need to be building the systems that are replacing salespeople.
[39:49] The word ‘special’ ignites narcissism since it might mean that your are better than someone else.
[40:03] We are not ‘special’ we are ‘different’. We are all created equal and we are all created differently.
[41:27] Most of us spend our lives doing something other than what we’re programmed to do, and don’t get fulfillment
[42:02] Legacy he wants to leave in the world: a man that accomplished everything he was told he couldn’t. Leave products that changed people’s lives.
Three key points:

[00:06] Introduction to Eric Barker, from Barking Up The Wrong Tree
[00:32] His book just came out. Purpose is to dispel myths of success.
[2:14] Before the explosion of the internet information was harder to come by, but the sources were more legitimate.
[3:23] Eric wrote for Disney and Fox.
[5:21] Everybody talks about being more confident, but there is a problem with too much confidence that no one addresses.
[6:30] People can do just as well without the downside of narcissism on the Buddhist concept of self-compassion
[6:43] Self-compassion has all the benefits of self-confidence
[8:07] The problem with being focused on being confident is that confidence is contingent on achieving the goals.
[8:34] Self-compassion means that you will see things realistically and you’re going to have self-compassion when things don’t go well.
[10:39] Believing that you’re “the best” creates an imbalance of who you think you are and who think people are
[11:12] Confidence impresses people, but doesn’t make you likeable
[12:05] Biggest struggle for Eric at the moment: work life balance
[13:45] Collapsing metric – measuring success in life based on one thing (money, job, etc.)
[19:05] Key: producing content that is valuable to readers
[20:27] Give people something they can really use
[24:23] People are going to demand more filters
[25:48] How he keeps deadlines and enjoys life.
[27:54] Framework. Longest time he spends on a blog post. Shortest time he spends on a blog post.
[30:01] He was reluctant to produce original content because of how long it takes to produce.
[30:48] Things he would like to change in the future/ get some leverage and increase the mission and help more people: ancillary tasks & personal things
[35:23] Success is a subjective term. We can describe it ourselves
[35:29] Often success is a two part thing: (1) know who you are & signature strengths and knowing what your intensifiers are
[36:21] Intensifiers: qualities that are bad, but in the right circumstances can be good
[37:09] (2) picking the right pawn – finding an environment that rewards your strengths and intensifiers
[41:47] Research: If a top analyst left the company alone he was no longer top analyst at his new company. If he brought his team with him/her, he was top analyst in new company.
Three key points:
- People can do just as well without the downside of narcissism on the Buddhist concept of self-compassion. Confidence impresses people, but doesn’t make you likeable
- Give people something they can really use. Product content that is valuable to readers
- Success is a two part thing:(1) knowing who you are & signature strengths and knowing what your intensifiers are; and (2) picking the right pawn – finding an environment that rewards your strengths and intensifiers

[00:47] Introduction to his Jonathan David Lewis and his book.
[02:42] To be a great marketer or influencer you have to be empathetic
[03:29] Research – 7 factors of business growth: there is no difference between a group of survivors in a mountain and entrepreneurs. Both are responding to a predictable disruption.
[04:10] One of the key differences of those that are able to do well in hard circumstances and those who don’t, is your internal health as a team / the health of your relationships around you, which are built on empathy
[06:07] Our natural state when the pressure is up, is to hunker down and get scared
[6:19] Our predictable response to disruption is to go from fear to drift to inconsistency to savagery
[7:35] There is no morality at the top. When the pressure is on, we turn against each other, even though it’s not productive and it’s the worst thing that can happen.
[7:55] People need to collaborate with each other, instead of turning against each other to deal with disruption better.
[08:32] Nothing of merit was ever achieved alone
[08:44] Scarcity is real, but not as much as people think. We have the capacity to create overabundance.
[13:55] Success is self-lessness.
[14:11] Humility, the ability to listen is what’s helped the achievers in this world success
[15:02] People at their core are not selfless, they’re selfish. Working together takes work.
[15:38] The reason capitalism has created more wealth and abundance is because it is build on checks and balances, which is built on an understanding that we are selfish.
[19:05] Game theory – stag hunt. You both have to make the same choice to get the maximum points.
[19:48] People know that they will at least get something if they act selfishly, this leads to mediocrity.
[21:58] How to put an incentive in place: (1) give people a purpose – purpose puts you beyond yourself.
[25:44] (1) Admit, (2) submit, (3) commit.
[29:20] Identify purpose to get team to rally around the idea of “we”.
[29:45] Purpose is not enough, you have to focus.
[30:20] Ask: what does my customer need? How can I service my customer?
[30:32] Where purpose and focus overlap is where monetization occurs.
[35:56] Language determines how you think.
[37:56] If you want to take part in the making of the new world you need to learn how to persuade, sell an idea, etc.
[38:46] Business concepts: (1) Getting things done. Get weird. Get awkward.
[41:15] His business is built on having awkward conversations in the right way.
[43:10] He wants to be a blessing. Beginning with the people at his company.
Three key points:
- People need to collaborate with each other, instead of turning against each other to deal with disruption better. Success is self-lessness.
- People know that they will at least get something if they act selfishly, this leads to mediocrity.
- Where purpose and focus overlap is where monetization occurs.

[02:11] What got her into this line of work
[04:45] She loves this world of influence because it’s about mastering words.
[06:19] Things people can do to start being influential.
[7:51] Start by asking: what do I need to know? – if you want to be influential
[10:35] Create the conversation ahead of time.
[13:00] People want to hide behind the screen because it’s easier, safer and more leverageable, but people need to spend time when they’re selling to talk to people.
[17:43] The lower the price, the less commitment the client has.
[20:43] Ask: is this a tool or a solution?
[20:49] Oftentimes in the entrepreneurial journey you will come across and if you don’t know how to use it, it won’t work.
[23:09] Her ambitions and new projects.
[28:42] Tools that can make someone influential
[31:55] Influence is communication with a purpose. You have to get comfortable with the idea that you want something from people.
[33:34] People should communicate in a thoughtful manner, instead of communicating on autopilot.
[36:09] You have to be aware of being overly authentic cannot help you. Think of what is going to serve you best.

[39:41] Influential triggers: (1) quid pro quo, (2) higher significance

[42:18] The person that you recruit that can be an asset are the people who do it for the higher significance.
[44:05] Framework people can use right now- the influential vibes – five things you can look for in your mark
[44:39] Five influential vibes: (1) Values: what are important to them?
[45:11] You can’t influence someone that you’re judging.
[45:29] Five influential vibes: (2) Identifiers – what are the labels they put on themselves?
[46:17] Five influential vibes: (3) Beliefs – what are the stories they tell about their world? Very linked to values
[47:01] Five influential vibes: (4) Emotional triggers – what puts them in a positive or negative space?
[47:47] Five influential vibes: (5) Secret goals and desires – what are they aspiring to? What are their higher goals?

- Influence is communication with a purpose. You have to get comfortable with the idea that you want something from people.
- You have to be aware of being overly authentic cannot help you. Think of what is going to serve you best.
- VIBES – Values, Identifiers, Beliefs, Emotional triggers, Secret goals and desires.
