I wasn’t going to publish this episode because I had some very mixed feelings about it. In the end I went with my gut and decided to release it and let you decide what you think about it. 12 years ago I read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and it left a really big impression on me. I always dreamed of speaking to Robert and letting him know how inspired I was by his book and how it impacted me. Well today my dream came true but it wasn’t what I expected. Robert has some very strong views and it really came across in this episode. I won’t say anything more as I want you the listener to have an unbiased opinion. This is by far the most shockingly candid interview I have ever done. For those of you with sensitive ears I must warn you that there is some strong language used.

I recently appeared on Joshua Spodek’s podcast show and he asked me questions I have never been asked before.
He dug deep.
Very deep.
I was very vulnerable and shared things I have never shared before (including the nicknames my high school bullies called me)
It was such a great conversation that I felt compelled to include this as an episode on my show.
So here it is …
What we discussed:
How I rebuilt my self esteem
Why I never prepare for a speech or a show
Why I don’t think most things are a big deal
Why I think that i’m very selfish even when I give
What I believe the difference between heaven and hell is
How to be comfortable in your own skin around anyone
How I dealt with having an emotionally crippled father
… and MUCH MORE
Interesting highlights:
Joshua and I talk about the power of being completely candid
I was called ‘spider face’ in high school
I open up about a very raw event

Today I am super excited to have my first Billionaire guest on my show.
The truth is that while I was preparing for this interview I asked myself the following question …what separates a Billionaire from a Millionaire?

Is it luck? Is it connections? Is it skill? Is it IQ? Is it raw determination and passion or is it something else?
Well… who better to ask than someone who has made the journey to the top.

My guest today built her house from scratch by watching YouTube video tutorials!
Hope Brookins was 17 years old when her family had to leave their home due to a domestic violence situation.
In nine months, her family built a 3,500 square foot home and at the same time rebuilt something more valuable. Their family.

When I prepared for this interview today I had tears in my eyes and found myself getting very emotional.
My guest today has a shocking story that begins with a rising star. At one point James Arthur Ray was considered to be one of the top 10 Self Help Motivational Speakers in the world. Although he would shudder at the mention of it because he doesn’t like those descriptions.
He has helped hundreds of thousands of people and companies, from 143 different countries around the world,
His company hit The Inc. 500 in 2009 as one of the fastest growing privately held companies in the United States
And he has been featured in all major media outlets including Oprah, Fortune Magazine, People Magazine, Larry King Live, Piers Morgan, the Today Show, CNN and also starred in the award winning film documentary “The Secret”
James, however, has a little twist in his story. A tragedy that would break most people and leave them on the floor in pieces.
At one of his events 3 of his clients died and he was sentenced to jail for negligent homicide.
But his story doesn’t end there. Far from it.
Today he is back with even more energy and resilience
