]]>I had such a great time bringing Dr. Lindsey Elmore onto the Super Joe Pardo Show to talk about creating authenticity in your business.
Dr. Lindsey Elmore is a pharmacist, natural wellness expert, vegan cook, yogi, podcast host, and business strategy coach. Originally from Birmingham, AL, Dr. Elmore obtained an undergraduate degree in chemistry from the University of Alabama, Birmingham and a doctorate in pharmacy from the University of California San Francisco.

She is a Board-Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist and licensed to practice in three states. Through her own personal challenges, Dr. Elmore discovered Chinese medicine, herbal medicines, supplement, vitamins and mineral, chiropractic care, and yoga and meditation and this started her on a natural wellness journey. Her whole world turned upside down when she discovered essential oils. She has spent years applying the knowledge of a pharmacist to the practice of essential oil usage. She founded the YL Education Club to teach others about the power of essential oils in their daily life, as well as how to avoid side effects and drug interactions when using them. Dr. Elmore is a speaker, author, and world-renowned wellness expert. She translates complicated science into understandable stories, and travels the world educating audiences about natural wellness. Dr. Elmore has spoken to audiences on five continents and more than 35 countries. Her educational materials have been translated into more than 25 languages. Dr. Elmore reaches millions on social media. Her Facebook content reaches more than 85 countries, and more than 15 million minutes of education have been watched on Facebook alone. She is the author of Essentials: 75 Answers to Common Questions about Essential Oils and Supplements, and the Clean Slate Cleanse Cookbook and Workbook series. She is published in a wide variety of pharmacy and medical journals, and has been quoted in Healthline, Bustle, Elite Daily, Reader’s Digest, Yahoo News, Parade, MSN, Brit + Co, Business Insider and more. She has been featured on news segments on NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, CW, and the Daily Buzz. Dr. Elmore is the founder of Rasayana Yoga, a Certified 250-hour vinyasa, yin, and Aroma Yoga® Instructor, an Aroma Freedom practitioner, and the creator of the Clean Slate Cleanse, a gluten free, vegan food course. She is the founder of Brand Strategies Lab, a business strategy company for both entrepreneurs and companies where she helps create greater clarity in messaging and attracts more of the right customers.

Episode 382
]]>I had the honor of being interviewed by Emmy and Murrow winner Bofta Yimam on how to get podcast profit. You can watch the video above that was originally part of her Facebook group Speak and Infuence. I’ve been podcasting for 5 years now and running the Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference for almost as long. Crafting lots of products, courses, videos, books, coaching lots of podcasters and business owners from all over the world has been a ton of fun. As I point out early on in this interview it isn’t always easy to find your target audience for what you have inside of you. Starting with a topic that you love and can talk about for days on end can sometimes be difficult.
At the end of the day if you are looking for podcast profit it starts with a topic and putting in the reps to get good. From there you can start to build your audience and let them help guide you where you can best serve them with deals and promotions from potential sponsors, swag, products, digital products and more! I want you to keep in mind at all times though that the show is yours and you ultimately get to make the final decisions that make you happiest.

Episode 377
]]>I’ve been holding it in, but since production is about to start on my own TV show in the coming months and I am ready to take the lid off the details!!! The TOP will be airing on BizTV in Prime Time for 1 year with 26 episodes in the first season! The show will reach 44.3 million households across America in 40 markets as well as BizTV’s vast audience on streaming platforms like Apple TV and their website.
The TOP with Super Joe Pardo is coming to a TV near you! Helping struggling small businesses jump-start their growth! The TOP will have a raw/vlog feel to it and probably break the fourth wall every so often. I’m excited to get to bring my personality, sense of humor and most of all caring to this big stage.
We are looking for businesses that are stalled or struggling to look for growth to keep going. Do you know a business or want your business to be featured on The TOP? www.SuperJoePardo.com/casting
Glad you asked! Part of this new chapter in my journey is having to come up with the funding for this project. A large part of that will be coming from sponsorships and advertisers who are looking to reach the target market of business owners and entrepreneurs. If you want to sponsor or advertise on The TOP and have your brand in front of 44.3 million households across America? Get the media kit: www.joepardo.com/kit
If you don’t have a business you want to spread the word about there are other ways that can absolutely help. I have enabled a way for supporters to get access to bonus content, deleted scenes, have your name in the credits of The TOP and much much more. You can get access to the monthly subscription here on Patreon with tiers ranging from 1$ to 100$.
Please know that I appreciate each and every one of you reading this message. It is because of the love and support that I have received over the last 5 years that I have been able to get to this point in my career as a content creator and business consultant and coach. Helping others is what I set out to do every day and it is no different with this show. I’m looking to create and save jobs in the world with my experience and creativity.
My director and I plan to start shooting footage for the show next weekend and within 3-4 weeks start shooting episodes at businesses.
Be on the look out for more info and video as we get closer to launch in the coming months!!! Please feel free to reach out to me in the comments below or via email.

Episode 366
]]>One thing that I have dealt with time and time again in my lifelong career of growing up in a family business is getting employees and change to be on the same page. The longer the team members have been with the organization the harder it can be to break old habits. The longer the process to switch over between systems or processes the more complicated and cumbersome the current process becomes. This can and will lead to more mistakes and more frustration. Getting your employees and change to work hand in hand is important for the success of the organization.

Episode 363
]]>About five days before my birthday (September 15th for people keeping track) I got a message from a previous guest and friend Casey Hoban. He asked me if I could come down to Ocean Resort Casino for a private party. I convinced Melissa that taking two kids to a casino on my birthday would be a good idea. My mom and stepdad joined us so that Melissa had extra help for when I would inevitably start talking to people and networking. We promised our oldest (Ava, 2.5 years old) that if she was good we would go to Ocean City, NJ later so she could go on rides (which we eventually did that night).
After hanging out at the party for a while and around the beautiful resort we decided to record a quick teaser for an upcoming episode of The Business Podcast. Included in this episode is, of course, Casey Hoban, but also Frank O’Brien CEO and Founder of Fiver Tier Marketing who I plan to do a full interview with at some point and the man behind Ocean Resort Casino, Bruce Deifik.
One of the great things I have heard about Bruce Deifik is that has constant visibility at the resort. He is highly involved and interactive with the people coming to the resort. Even at the end of this episode he had to go off because he was hosting a free alcohol event for his visitors that he needed to be at. I hope to have Bruce Deifik on the show for an interview at some point.
There are some big things coming down the pike, so stay tuned as I will be announcing it here on The Business Podcast!

I decided very early on in the decision process of returning to my family’s business that I wanted to bring a new computer system to the organization. I went through a pretty thorough inspection process of the current process the business uses to move customers through their system. Starting with paper tickets and ending with their text-based terminal window computer system that has been the same system used since the 80’s when my grandfather first go the computer system.
While I love the people who work and support the current system, it was time to not just find a system that helps with the workflow, but will enable the business to be done faster, more accurately, and allow more communication. To accomplish I created a wish list of features with number one being a website solution. Enabling our company to be able to interact with our system from any computer, tablet or phone. Having that main feature would allow us to deploy tablets to our workforce to increase communication and documentation workflow.
After widdling down my searches for a new computer system down to three different ones. I went in depth with each of their sales teams to gather as much information as possible for what I am looking to accomplish. Listen to the podcast or watch the video above to learn more about what I was looking for in a new computer system for my team.

Episode 359
]]>On the night before heading back to my family’s business I wanted to get the advice and insight into what my wife, Melissa, and daughter, Ava, were thinking. We are all a bit nervous for different reasons on the eve of the start of this new journey. Ava seems to think that I need to wash my hands. While Melissa thinks I need to hone the listening training I gained at Hopeworks Camden.
Episode 358
]]>
After leaving my family’s business (Pardo’s Truck Service Parts) in 2014 I never thought I would return. Now four years later with a ton of experience, wins and accolades under my belt I am ready to take on my biggest challenge yet, build a franchise! Returning to work with my dad to transform his heavy duty truck repair shop, Pardo Fleet Solutions, into a well-oiled franchise.
Part of the reason for my return is that my dad started talking to me about possibly coming back to work with him in late 2017. When he proposed the idea of me returning to help him grow the repair shop business with more locations. I got the idea to build a franchise model instead that could enable us to grow the business without the need to expand the number of hours we need to invest to get there.
Coming in as the COO enables me to put the right systems and processes in place to enable growth and efficiency. The same business lessons that I have been preaching over the last four years with my podcast will be put to the ultimate test. While I have helped many entrepreneurs and business owners around the world it feels really good to be in a position where I can help my dad and my family. Continuing the legacy of my family operating in the heavy-duty truck industry is exciting to me!
This decision to go back to work with my dad is not one that I have taken lightly. Nearly half a year of consideration went into my thought process to arrive at this decision. And for those that have been following along for a while will know that I worked at Hopeworks ‘N Camden as their web director for the past year and a half while operating 234 Solutions. I gave my notice a few weeks back and while I am very sad to be leaving the mission, the youth and the team I work with, I am excited to jump head first into my new mission. Meanwhile, I plan to be visible at Hopeworks at their events, mentoring youth, and giving talks there.
Over the last four years, I have created several podcasts and video series that documented my journey. So, of course, I have to document this new chapter of my journey! This will give me an opportunity to create content that I love while I build a franchise which I also love, and have the opportunity to build out the marketing content to help promote the franchise going forward.
The Business Podcast will transform into The Business Podcast: 18 Months to Franchise. Episodes will consist of:
The Business TV video series on Youtube will have episodes consisting of:
My goal is to document as much of the journey as possible in as many ways as possible. I hope to inspire others to look at their business in a different light to improve it for both themselves and who they serve.
I haven’t decided what the release schedule for this new series just yet. My first full day is Monday, August 13 so please feel free to wish me luck on my new venture on
I hope you decide to come on this journey with me. I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and help grow Pardo Fleet Solutions while creating amazing content for everyone!

It is crucial to not lose sight of how small changes can quickly add up to big results in your business. I am always reminded of the fraction of pennies that pizza shops are trying to save on their pizza boxes. A fraction of a penny may not sound like much, but when you add up how many fractions of pennies you will save over the course of a year, you got something big on your hands.
I know that this concept can be easy to talk about, but once you are in the daily grind it can be hard to see the big picture. Below I have compiled a list of three small changes you can make in your business today to start seeing big results in the near future. Of course, this is just a small list to help get you thinking of the changes you can make in your daily operations.
When I say the word “steps” I am talking about steps in your process which can include footsteps. You may not be in a position to tear apart your entire operation’s process. That doesn’t mean that you can’t take a look at how many footsteps that are required by each team member to complete their processes. Think about the challenges that exist to shrink the number of footsteps needed throughout their process. Start thinking about how many seconds add up throughout the day, week and year.
Moving mountains, or relocating rooms in a building, to group processes together may not be in the cards right now. Get in the mindset to look at the challenges from a different perspective. Many times the easiest solution is hiding in plain sight and you just need to think about the challenge differently.
Who’s on first? Look for ways to increase communication touch points between key team members. Don’t forget to include increased touch points to your clients and customers while you are on the path of increased communication.
The increased communication channels can come in many forms. Integrating technology is a great way to speed up the flow of information between different parties. Having well structured, regular recurring meetings is another way to get everyone on the same page. New routines for your team may feel awkward at first, but if you build a structure and stick to it, you won’t be sitting around dreading the next meeting. Though I feel like this could be a whole topic that I could tackle in a future episode.
One of the easiest small changes for big results in business comes by just evaluating your current standards and practices in your business. Take the time to ensure that you have proper standards setup that everyone is following nearly 100% of the time. This may require coming up with incentives and possible reprimands for not following the standards laid out.
Be sure to think through the standards that you are creating before you start holding your team accountable. Don’t allow yourself to let the standards waver.
As a leader in your business, you always need to be looking for the next big thing that is just ahead of the curve. Sometimes those big things are right under your nose and are a bunch of small things that add up quickly. Don’t delay progress in business or else the world will pass you by. These small changes for big results in business are one piece of the puzzle. I’d love to hear about a small adjustment that you made in your business that had a huge impact. Shoot me an email here.

Being around my family’s business since I was a kid (6 years old) I have seen plenty of ups and downs in the life of businesses. It is important to always keep in mind that the choices that we make in both life and business have consequences. The weight of those consequences varies greatly on how much you are willing to gamble with the future. Today I’d like to talk about three steps to refocusing and how to deal with the lows in business.
You got to where you are in business for a reason. It most likely did not happen by accident. Making the right decisions at the right time generally leads you to a path where you can do more of what you are really good at. So when things start to seem like they are going sideways, I want you to take a step back from your business. Being able to see the reasons for a slump sometimes require a higher overview or a different perspective to be able to really see where the issues lie.
Be prepared to take a short break. I know that this can be the most difficult part of the process. When things aren’t going right we tend to want to jump in head first and try to fix the issues as quickly as possible. That works well when you are catching the issues before they become real issues that start creating measurable slumps in the business.
Clear your mind of the business. The reason for this is because if you are grinding away day after day in your business you are going to be too close to the challenges to see the real root causes for the issues causing the slump. I want you to give yourself the permissions to have the space to think and work out complex solutions for complex challenges. You need to shed the weight of the hypotheticals and stress of the situation to help give you a fresh set of eyes and more importantly a positive mindset.
Sometimes you don’t need to go for a long vacation to find solutions. You just need to find the reset button for yourself. In my case, going to sleep or going for a long run opens my mind up to get in the right headspace to relax and concentrate.
Again, this can be the hardest step in the process. So stay strong when it comes to taking a step back. Remember hitting the pause button is not hitting the stop button.
Now that you have a clear head to think through the challenges you are faced with. Start taking a look at the data that you have related to the current challenge with fresh eyes and mindset.
Being in business and having success is great on many levels. One of the best aspects of having a successful business is that you should have plenty of data to pour over. This will enable you to be able to look deep into the inner workings of your business. This is more complex than just “knowing your numbers”. If you really want to deal with the lows in business, then you need to know how to apply the numbers.
This way you won’t be guessing or “throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks” when it comes to pinpointing possible solutions.
Now that you have some potential solutions to deal with the lows in business. It is time for you to take action on the solutions. Do not be afraid to expand the horizons of your business. Trying something new as a pilot program can help generate interest and buzz with your business. I would caution against making too many drastic changes all at once.
Introduce changes to your business as part of an overall plan. Have team members buy into the changes so you don’t rock the boat too much with them all at once.
Of course, drastic times call for drastic measures but hopefully, you have done your part to pay attention. This way you aren’t faced with such a dire situation.
Bad times are potentially always around the corner when it comes to business. It is how we deal with the lows in business that matters the most. Being able to give yourself the headspace and positive mindset is key to starting the process of discovering solutions to the toughest challenges. Take your open mind and positive mindset with you to look over your numbers and data. Giving yourself the opportunity to see things from a new perspective. This will aid in your ability to see something you might have missed prior. Form solutions based on the data, knowledge, gut feeling, and a focused mindset. Now you are ready to build out a plan to roll out your solutions and take action!

]]>Within the last week, I have had both two good experiences with businesses interacting with me on social media and one negative one. In this week’s episode of The Business Podcast I want to point out three ways to business owners and managers to handle social media to interact with customers to enhance the experience with your organization.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cgtIelLLac
I tweeted out the following.
https://twitter.com/SuperJoePardo/status/1012449182001582082
Shortly after it had a response from an unlikely source.
https://twitter.com/SearsAuto/status/1012452239917617152
I was both surprised and delighted to see the initiative that was taken by Sears.
This is a great example of how you can utilize your social media team to seek out customers with a pain point that you can help with and interact.
In response to my tweet about having a flat tire, my good friend Aimee J.
https://twitter.com/SuperJoePardo/status/1012687203284258816
A little bit later I received the following tweet.
https://twitter.com/SuperJoePardo/status/1012689855074242560
They are going to reach back out to me very soon with some compensation for the fact that this is my fourth tire to have a sidewall pop and the fact that it took 3 hours to get a service “truck” to me. More on the “truck” part in next week’s episode.
Be proactive and vigilant when people are talking about your brand online. Interact with them to help them feel taken care of. Or you could just…
Crickets after this tweet.

Needless to say that I won’t be purchasing another pair of their sunglasses even though I really liked them and they aren’t that expensive. Don’t try to be all millennial-focused, and then not interact on social media. Any touch point you have with people who like your product enough to give you feedback is crucial. There are so many customers that won’t give you any feedback, show some care.
There are plenty of good and bad ways to interact with your customers through social media. Make the attempt, because it can make all of the difference in keeping a customer and letting one go… While they bad mouth you to the world.

A good friend of mine and a local business owner was recently put on blast online when he was caught off guard. He found himself on the wrong end of someone paying for him to receive fake negative online business reviews posted about his business.
Today I will talk you through ways to help prepare yourself and handle negative online business reviews.
You know that you offer a great product, but are you doing enough to make sure that you are collecting powerful social proof? Others are always looking at the reviews to make a decision between spending money with you or your competition. Online business reviews are needed to help increase your SEO (search engine optimization) for people to not only find you but see that other people have had a great experience.
Collecting reviews is important for your sales potential and trust factor, but also to safeguard you from someone deciding to bomb your online accounts with fake negative reviews. Most people will not take the time to actually read the reviews. Potential customers will glance at the star rating and feel they have all of the information they need on you and your organization to make an “informed” decision.
By being proactive with your review collecting efforts you can help offset the threat of someone posting lots of negative reviews. In the case of my friend, he went on a binge of getting as many of his previous customers to post a review of his services to offset his poor star ratings. The great news is after a few weeks/months (which certainly hurt his business) he was able to get Google and the other online services to take down the clearly fake reviews. Now he has tons of reviews to show for his efforts, but the damage may have been done to his business for any potential clients who took one look at his poor rating and moved onto a competitor.
Once you have decided that collecting online business reviews is important for you and your organization you need to get up and start collecting reviews and ratings. Offering an incentive for your customers or clients to get something desirable can increase the likeliness of getting a review posted. Offering a raffle for reviews is another great way to incentivize customers to leave a positive review.
Another way to go about getting reviews is to craft some review templates for customers to easily post about their positive experience. Being creative can be a tough task for some people, so having a template to help them along with the process of leaving a positive review can be very helpful for some.
Don’t be afraid to ask for the reviews and don’t forget to spread the online business reviews around so that you aren’t vulnerable to one or two negative reviews sinking your overall rating on any single platform.
If the negative review is legit, you should not be looking to come off as defensive. It can be so tempting to want to spring right to defensive mode, but instead, you should be viewing this as an opportunity to show off how caring your organization is.
Always be looking for an opportunity to reach out to the person to create a better and more personal experience. Showing that you care will go a much longer way than trying to fix any wrong doing in a public forum. Give out the proper contact information and ask for them to reach out if that is the best way to have a conversation.
Once you have the previous client/customer on the phone, chat or email you can start to diagnose what went wrong. Asking questions to get the most amount of information will leave the least amount of room for imagination or assuming (we all know what assume means). Once you have all of the data you will likely need to form a proper resolution for the client/customer.
Don’t get defensive, it will likely not go any better for you. This does not mean the customer is always right when trying to resolve a conflict. Be prepared to weigh your options to get to a resolution and be ready to give them a few different options to resolve the conflict.
You never want someone to look at your online business reviews, ratings and get a bad perception of your business before you have had a chance to say “hello!”. Turn negative reviews and comments into an opportunity to show off your customer support and how much you care about your customers.

]]>When you are first starting out in your business you do what works. As time marches on, things grow and if your processes don’t the amount of time you are investing will only grow too. You may find yourself asking how do I organize my business. Below are five easy steps that I have put together for the request I get a lot…
Your business should be a machine. Every step of the way should be an optimized process that enables business, not disables it. When you are disorganized you are saying to your team that it is ok for them to be disorganized. Disorganization creates chaos and inefficiencies that will add up to be more costly than most will ever realize. Increasing your cost of doing business and competing in your marketplace.
It is easy to start to feel buried by your business when you are left guessing while searching through the disorganization. It can be an early warning sign that as your business grows it will only get worse and the weight of not knowing will become heavier.
This is why I always say that you need to build your business for your lifestyle and not your lifestyle for your business. By being more organized you are giving yourself the opportunity to save time. By saving time you are enabling yourself to make more money. Money, when viewed and used as a tool, can create more time for you to focus on working on your business rather than in your business.
Having quick access to information in your business allows you to know what is going on at a moment’s notice. You are left guessing and searching. Guessing will lead to panic and feeling defeated. Let’s get past feeling defeated and panicked and go over the 5 steps on how to “organize my business”.
Nothing will ever change if you are not willing to start today. This step can mean many different things to many different owners. Starting today could mean committing to the idea that you have to get more organized if you ever want to grow further. Maybe growth isn’t why you are trying to “organize my business”. It could be that you are tired and frustrated with the way the business operates and eats up your time, energy, and resources.
All of the above reasons and more are legitimate reasons to want to organize your business and are all the more reason to start today!
Gathering your team together to discuss the current challenges in your business can be difficult. You need to give your team space to safely and confidently discuss the current situation the way they see and feel it. You may have tried to accomplish this in the past, but if the information ultimately led to no changes your team may be skeptical. This time will be different because I want you to check your ego at the door and come to the table with your team, with an open mind. In some cases, this may be a good time to bring in an outside consultant to act as a moderate to dig deep into the root of the problems. Sometimes we can find ourselves too close to a situation to see the big picture.
Listen to the answers and responses. They can help you arrive where you want to go, organization.
Organize the solutions that you have come up with in step two into three categories of implementation.
This will enable you to build a pipeline for the changes that you are going to be looking to make with expectations and goals set.
Disappointment will come easily if you don’t start small and piece out your bigger goals into smaller goals. Especially when you are getting started it is important to have some easy wins for both you and your team. Working on the smaller pieces of your big goals will also help you and your team gain focus on the big picture and stay focused going forward.
As you lead your team for the months to come, always be looking down the road. Always be reevaluating your goals and options. There is no reason to stay the course when the circumstances or options change. Don’t be afraid to change things up mid-way through. Especially when you see that something you are doing is not working. You need to be able to put your ego aside and always be looking to do what is right. Don’t let plans get in the way, be flexible and willing to learn along the way. Remember, the journey is where you will gain experience and lessons.

]]>I know it has been a while since I have done a business lesson video. Let’s talk about your mid-ranged goals for 2018. One of the best things I have done for my productivity and my sanity is to create a list of goals that I want to accomplish for each month. This way I don’t stress out about how I have things to do months in advance of them actually mattering. The list helps me focus on what is in front of me for the here and now and make time for things like vacations and breaks. You want to be able to de-stress your goals so that you can have more focus, time, and productivity for the tasks that are at hand.
In this podcast episode and video, I go over how I have broken down my year and set myself up to accomplish 3-7 tasks per month. Nothing falls through the cracks and no more stress about things I can’t be worried about in the present.

Welcome everybody to see business podcast where we pour out weekly business lessons from entrepreneurs business owners from around the world this week’s episode is brought to you by me and my brand new super retreats if you’re a business owner if you’re an entrepreneur and you want to learn how to grow or scale your business go to joepardo.com/retreats to learn more and I’ll talk more about it later on in this episode I’m your host super Joe Pardo and today I want to talk about goals now I’ve talked about a lot of different topics over the last you know four almost four years now I’ve been doing this show and today I want to talk about how I go about setting my goals III try to keep things as simple as possible I’m just clicking over here to look at my actual my list of things I want to accomplish in a year so with 2018 everybody likes to start off with like oh how am I gonna you know lose weight and grow my business and do these other things and be a better father and be a better mother and be a better this or that or do more of this how to get more involved well these types of things can definitely be overwhelming and I’m sure you’ve heard the idea that you know you need to break them down into bite-size pieces so that you can digest them and you can accomplish them so to take that one step further this year to kind of put that anxiety to rest and also to set enough goals so that I felt like I was accomplishing enough every single time I want to go and do work I I don’t want to feel like well yeah I got I got a B and C done but I have so many things to do and I need to make sure that I’m getting all these other jobs done and before I know it is gonna be the end of the month then it’s gonna be the next month and before you know it an events gonna be here this is gonna be there and I’m just gonna be running around like a chicken with my head cut off and we want to try to avoid that um you know me I get stressed out the fact that there’s things out there that I need to do really stresses me out like I get so wrapped up in like what is there left to be done what things am i leaving untouched and then there’s things that are like not even close to needing to be done anytime soon but yet I still feel the need to get anxious about and be like I gotta do this thing this isn’t for a whole other year I got to worry about this thing but because it’s still on my plate it’s taking up the space up here in my head so to kind of try to counteract this you know I use a lot of to-do lists I think that you should be using a lot of to-do lists and I and I think it’s important for you to see that you’re checking them off and crossing things off and sometimes it’s a pain to have to go and like write them all down but but it’s really important right and the more you write down the better you’ll be at getting them crossed off and feeling accomplished and feeling if you’re actually making headway on the projects that you’re working on um so to go along with that I decided at the beginning of the year that I was going to create well actually no not even the beginning of the I think it was like the end of February the end of February I decided I was going to create a list a running list of goals that I was going to accomplish every single month and as long as I accomplish those goals then I’m going to feel good about the progress that I am making um so I wrote I started with an outline each month March April May June July September November December and my goal by the end of the year is if I scroll down to November and December is is actually to kind of take off yeah I’m gonna still produce this pot this podcast I might I will probably produce it ahead of time I’ll sit down in batch produce the last two maybe two and a half months worth of content so that I’m not trying to jumpstart everything back in January but my goal aside from releasing for podcast episodes is to take time off and then just do outreach find new clients now with that said I did start super retreats and one of those retreats is in in October and one is in December so I need to make sure that I’m going to do those but I think you know from a standpoint of what is my goal my overall goal for the month is really to take as much time off as possible so how do I go about accomplishing that you know working backwards well in order to do that I need to make sure that I’m accomplishing at least three to five things a month so I just to give you some examples of how those things are set up so like in March it was to promote my brand new book sales won’t save your business you can see that right behind my head here you I also wanted to make sure I found some speaking gigs which I went and did I wanted to do more outreach for more clients and then I have a couple notes underneath of that of like things I wanted to do to hopefully see if that would work and it actually didn’t really work out so but I did it and I was able to cross it off the list and then for middle and podcast conference like the shirt I’m wearing here I wanted to make sure that I got the speaker’s selected and announced those were two things that needed to happen and then the one two three four the fifth thing that I needed to do was also make sure I had for podcast episodes launched for this show so but the the key goal here is is that in March I felt like I accomplished it right I accomplished everything I was setting out to do I set goals that were realistic and I set the amount to something that I was in in many cases I was doing already like putting out podcast episodes finding speaking gigs finding clients but I don’t want to overload what I’m able to accomplish either so when so April you know in April one of my goals I actually had one two three four five I had six goals six goals in in April and one of those goals was to take a vacation take Ava to her first trip to a Disney park in this case it was Disneyland and have a great time with her and Melissa it was also to promote the book did that got on a bunch of podcast you should go check them out a super Joe part concise press or go to my blog superJoepardo.com/blog I wanted to find more speaking gigs made sure I did that released for podcast episodes I did that work on reaching out to more potential clients this month I was a little bit light on that I didn’t accomplish that as much as I would like to but it was also really focused on retreat clients people you know people attendees for these retreats so I didn’t get to do that as much as I was hoping but I had so I had put things on pause for a little bit while I was actually working out the game plan for the actual want so even though I’ve been mentioning these retreats on here on this podcast I it’s not being fully launched there’s still some like sprinkles that I need to put on that on that Sunday and hopefully we will have some more people coming out so if you’re interested in that goes to purge of our TOCOM slash retreats and then so the last thing on my list though was to start running I didn’t I didn’t get to do that this will mount so far as of recording this is maple April 29th Sunday April 29 so I was I was kind of hoping that I would get out and do it there’s still tomorrow so there’s still hope that I could potentially get out and go do a run meaning I will start a date now when we look at May I need to scout out some map con middle and podcast conference more sponsors we already have a couple on the hook but I will needed to get a couple more so this actually the it’s actually more than six it’s seven goals for this month or for the month of may get map con 2019 stuff prepared that won’t take too long just get the ticket page and the sponsorship stuff just so I’m not running around with you know trying to figure it all out and get it all up and running right before the conference so we can sell some tickets at the comment at the conference in September find more speaking gigs work on out more outreach to more clients and booking people into these retreats or promote the book as well as release for podcast episodes and start running and or continue to run so with may I have that you know I had this idea that I have a couple of things that I want to get done to make sure I feel like I’m accomplishing something and I’m moving forward and I’m not getting lost in the mix of like all the things I have to do so that like come the beginning of September I’m rushing around to try to make sure I don’t forget anything four map con you know to get things set up for that for 2019 but then in June it goes back down it goes to promoting the book released in four episodes speaking all you know and running and doing outreach for clients so you see like some months are goanna have more things something in months are goanna have less things but if you find yourself putting trying to jam too many things into one month that’s when you start losing yourself and you start wanting to work all the time and stay working in your business instead of on your business and that’s one of those things where creating these lists help you put you in a mind frame where I could be like okay these two things I can actually offload to one of my VA s you know to help me accomplish those goals so that I don’t have to do all of them but at the same time I don’t have to keep them at the top of my mind constantly keeping me up at night I have enough things keep me up at night I don’t need these things these little details to to do that for me so you know I just want you to think about creating you know a list a running list of goals that you have to you’re gonna try to accomplish per month and they some of them could be as simple as like continuing to run you know operate the business like that makes it not a sense it doesn’t have to be all of the things steps underneath of that to make that happen but there’s just very specific things you want to make sure that they are there you’re like I’m going to accomplish this this month I’m going to start this I’m going to run this I’m going to finish up this this project and it’s not in a calendar you can put it in the calendar but I prefer to have like I said short less like five four to five maybe six things too to be able to put it in perspective for you so you can see things you know the big picture of the whole year that you’re gonna accomplish everything that you need to do and help keep yourself accountable yeah so alright anyway I’m gonna get out of here if you’ve enjoyed this episode please share it with somebody that you know love could get something out of it I know I was a little bit long-winded but I really wanted to show the detail of like the things that I go through in my process and how I how I’m trying to work things out anyway I think that if you enjoyed this you should share it sharing is caring you could leave a iTunes review or click the like button on YouTube if you’re

]]>In a previous business lesson video I talked about hitting your target market. You can watch that video here. This week I want to talk about making sure your product placement makes sense (and cents).
I went out to dinner this weekend to celebrate the 80th birthday of my wife’s grand-mom. While at the bar waiting to be seated I noticed they had some beach volley ball playing on the TV from Brazil. When the competitors stopped to take a break on the sideline. Sitting between each team was a mini fridge completely jam packed with… [More in the video]
Episode 336
welcome everybody to the business
podcast where we hammer out amazing
business lessons weekend week out
whether it’s with me or my guests this
week’s episode is brought to you by me
super Joe Pardo my brand new book sales
Holtz I had to look at the cover the
sales won’t save your business is how
now on Amazon you can go to sales won’t
calm and pick up your copy if there’s
digital form there’s paperback form
which I got in my hand and there’s also
going to be a audio book edition where I
make my audio book debut I didn’t read
the whole book I did do one part of the
book that happens to be in every single
chapter of the book anyway pick it up
today its sales won’t calm so on this
episode of the business podcast I want
to talk about product placement and when
it doesn’t necessarily make sense
product placement is everywhere right
it’s it’s I mean it’s in this video
right here right now if you’re watching
this on youtube you’ll see there’s
copies of my book right behind me there
are other albums and things behind me
there’s an award for podcasting right
behind me
placement this shirt I’m wearing is and
is a shirt for a video game that a good
very very close friend of mine developed
and I happen to pick the name for the
game anyway product placement is
everywhere now redbull you know I I got
a bone to pick with you
I I was out to dinner Saturday night
with some family and we were celebrating
a birthday party birthday party birthday
and the on the TV at the bar while we’re
waiting for our table there was some
Brazilian volleyball going on you
probably watched beach ball beach
volleyball during the olympics but ABC
had it on on a Saturday night cool
whatever
and you know there’s plenty of Red Bull
ads and there’s other ads all around the
the court what stood out to me was the
fact that there was there was a
mini-fridge in between the two each of
the two players so they when they sat
down and think like their little
intermission or I’m not really sure than
really watch before but when they sat
down and take that intermission there
was a mini-fridge behind it like right
next to them so the camera was on them
and that mini fridge was full of Red
Bull totally full not a single can
missing and the reason probably being is
is because no one’s going to drink the
Red Bull what kind of message does that
send I don’t know that the product
placement makes a lot of sense there I
get it they sponsor it they you know and
they they sponsor a lot of things and
it’s awesome that they throw money
around like that and and and it’s great
but just a little thing like that right
so you have this mini fridge between two
volleyball players who are probably not
even gonna drink the stuff maybe ever I
mean personally I drink it from time to
time whenever I know I got to get
through something I know it’s not great
for you or whatever but it does the job
right I don’t drink coffee I don’t drink
alcohol you know once in a while I need
to be able to get through the thing that
I got to get through so with that said
so I’m sitting there thinking like okay
so you thought this was a good idea cool
but I don’t see how how it really works
because now it looks like nobody wants
to drink your product it’s all sitting
there in the fridge stocked and ready to
go maybe take a couple cans out or
better yet why don’t you find something
else to put into that mini-fridge or dog
but a mini-fridge at all right like I
just don’t like I get that they’re
trying to shoehorn it in there but it
just doesn’t make sense cuz no one’s
going to drink out of that and if I was
them and I was like dead set or or told
that like hey we need to put this
mini-fridge here full of stuff I don’t
at least take two cans or three cans out
make it obvious that like hey maybe
somebody drank it who’s drinking the Red
Bull I don’t know
I didn’t see anybody don’t camera do it
but I know for a fact that it’s it’s
somebody drank it or probably drank it
well I have to assume somebody drank
because there’s a canvas and couple cans
missing so it’s just things like that
that I want you to to think about when
you’re going through the ability you go
through your ability to add product
placement to two different aspects of
your business right and you got to think
about that from the perspective of like
okay if I have a showroom and there’s
vendor banners or whatever like how many
of those signs are we putting up what
signs are we putting up and if there’s a
certain amount of space that you have
maybe you need to consider that your
product placement or in this case your
banner placement needs to be more
calculated and may be charged for more
than just you know hey this is a nice
feature that we add and we take up our
space whether it’s our window or front
window space where it’s are inside our
banner space that kind of thing so give
it some real thought as to what you know
should go there don’t just enable
yourself to like oh cool we’re gonna
have all these banners now all
willy-nilly give it some thought just
like the the Red Bull in the in the
cancer and I wish I had taken a picture
because I’m gonna place it in this video
here on YouTube or at least in the the
featured image for this this blog post
on super Joe par calm anyway yeah so
just give thought to who you’re
marketing to what your you know what
message you’re trying to send when you
go through product placement whether
it’s for your business or whether it’s
for other businesses to do to you or for
you or at your place of business and
especially even with your website right
give that kind of that kind of stuff
consideration think about even like
supermarkets right they give
preferential treatment to end caps and
things like that well that’s all space
that’s paid for because everybody wants
their stuff on the end cap because
everybody has to walk by an end cap they
don’t have to walk down the island pass
by your stuff you can highlight things
and that’s where you can make some money
now real quick I want to talk about you
know the change I made it
been almost a month already since I made
the change to the show you know they did
that episode that you can go check out
called yes I charge my podcast guess and
with that said I’ve had a really amazing
response and people have been super
supportive of this so look forward to it
I don’t have any coming up for a real
soon but I have some booked in the
future podcast guests that are gonna be
paid advertisements or not paid
advertisements but or paying to to
advertise here on the show by being a
guest on the show so look forward to
those like this episode is brought to
you by fill in the blank
business here and I’m looking forward to
bringing those to you so that I can help
recoup some of my costs from the time
doing this show and everything from
hosting to my word to all that and of
course I’m still vetting it and I think
I might have mentioned I might have
mentioned this before about how there
was a somebody thought that this was
like my big business plan or something
like that and and I can assure you this
is not the big grand scheme business
plan here is to charge my guests to be
guests to you know charged my guests for
sponsorship spots specifically not my
guests to be guests per se but anyway I
also want to say that being upfront
about things has really helped me and
it’s helped bring people along with this
process of me changing how I’ve run the
show and all of that so I’ve enjoyed it
and I’ve also enjoyed making these
videos you know from the videos to the
podcast that mr. Neame in the podcast
episodes to me it it’s been it’s been
fun now obviously these some of these
episodes have been more talking head
then they have been you know me going
out and about like I used to do in the
YouTube channel and I want to get back
to some of that I’m hopeful that we’ll
get back to some of that but in the
meantime you know having this platform
to have these and to be able to connect
one-on-one I think it’s a great great
thing all
I wanted to point out that um you know
some people that were negative towards
me having a sponsorship fee for the show
one example they were trying to point
out that like I don’t have a ton of
reviews all night for my show now anyone
that knows anything about iTunes reviews
don’t mean anything they don’t affect
your ranking or rating or anything like
that other than the star rating like for
your show
so you know and I don’t ask any of you
whether you’re listening to this or
watching this video or reading on the
blog to to go and rate and review on
iTunes because again it doesn’t really
make a difference the thing I do ask for
is is that you share this content with
someone else that can get something out
of it so if you’ve enjoyed this episode
whether you’re watching it on on YouTube
or you’re listening to it on your
favorite podcast app please take the
time to go and share it with somebody
that you know and care about and want
them to be able to get the same things
out of it that you’re getting from this
show in this platform that would mean
the world to me that would mean the way
it should mean a lot to them that you’re
taking the time to share something like
that
and we can help grow this platform
together that’s that’s how we’re going
to get from here to there at least
that’s how I feel about it anyway I hope
you all have a magical week ahead I got
a couple big things going on coming up
as far as some events I’m planning and
an experiment that I’m trying out that I
think I might talk about in a future
episode so we’ll see how that goes I
think it’s gonna take like 10 to 15 days
but but if it works or it doesn’t work I
think I’m gonna do an episode about it
so I look forward to sharing that stuff
with you in the meantime this episode

]]>Last week I announced that I was changing up my show, this show, The Business Podcast to focus more on me and my skills. I wrote an open letter than you can check out here. That podcast episode, youtube video and blog post went viral among podcasters. It was shared among many circles and podcast news groups. I received lots of mostly positive feedback about my new strategy to change my show and filter through guests looking for self promotion through my platform. Let’s talk about how to take a step back in business so you can move forward.
On this week’s episode I want to talk about how I took some of that feedback and incorporated into my changes. We can get so wrapped up in our big changes that sometimes we aren’t able to take a step back and appreciate the feedback. How to take a step back in business and allow yourself to see that a step backwards is actually what you need to take a step forward.
I also want to talk about the change to my studio and why (I think you’ll like the answer). Here is a one word hint: play.
Also, I want to hear from you on how you have made changes in your business and were able to take a step back.

Episode 333
[Music]
all right let’s talk about how my office
is now different it’s not I being in my
office for five years it was time to
give it up to be a playroom that rooms
not done yet and I will show you what
that looks like when it’s done
but let’s get into it welcome everybody
to big business podcast featuring me
super Joe Pardo and today I will talk
about the letter that I wrote last week
and how that relates to taking a step
back in your business to reflect and to
make a decision on whether or not
something is a good or a great idea when
I wrote that letter last week I didn’t I
mean I knew that there was gonna be some
pushback um for the most part there
wasn’t a whole lot of pushback in fact I
got quite a few letters and messages and
people that wrote out to me saying hey I
really appreciate what you’ve done Joe
um not just for for for you but for
podcasting as a whole you know and then
the pushback that I got was like oh well
that sponsored content and that’s no
good and and I just want to address that
real quick my show my business model has
very little to do with whether or not
I’m I’m being paid to do sponsored
interviews now I say sponsored last week
and I talked about it being promote like
a promotion fee I’ve changed that I
treat that a little bit it’s just you’re
sponsoring the episode by sponsoring the
episode you’re sponsoring the show and
by sponsoring the show you’re supporting
the show and and you’re able like it
helps make up some of the time that it
takes to put this show together so I
think that when you’re when you’re
trying to do something that’s so
radically different now not to say there
aren’t other people out there doing what
I have already put forward
there are and there are some people
doing it really really well apparently
um but there’s not many right so so by
and large people think that everything
has to be if I had some people that say
oh well if you’re not gonna do
interviews what are you podcasting for I
mean like well I’m wearing a map con
shirt right now middle and podcast
conference go check it out it’s in
September um if podcasting doesn’t have
to be you know an interview based show
it’s funny because when I got started
the only shows I knew of or Disney base
roundtable discussion shows that once in
a while would have an interview on with
a special guest or something to that
effect so I when you were trying to
decide for your business whether or not
you should be open and honest about it
I’m gonna say yes the article has been
you know was retweeted out by a couple
of podcasts and news organizations and
you know have a little bit of successes
like five hundred and fifty views in in
like four days which is not like like
amazing but um I think it’s not that’s
not bad either and considering that most
of the response that I got back was
pretty positive I’d say overall it was a
pretty good success to tell you know to
get it out there as far as people like
those PR agencies reaching out and
telling me you’re giving me these guest
suggestions for the most part I got
pretty good responses back you know
leave most of them said leave it up to
the guests the clear client my guests to
decide whether or not they want to be on
a premium platform and and pay a
sponsorship fee to do so you know not
everyone felt that way and that’s okay
look this is business
it’s and again this isn’t my business
model if it was I would my whole website
would be focused on getting people to
sign up and and be funneled into paying
to be a guest on my show and that’s
clearly not the case I’m still vetting
my guests like I’ve done in the past
that’s not changed and it won’t change
frankly um you know I think that P
kind of sometimes get caught up in that
whole like oh you know you’re making
money from what you what you love to do
and it’s like yeah well this is a
business I love business you should be
making something out of something that
you love and and you know that’s where
the dreamers podcast came in to you know
play for all those years so let’s talk
about taking a step back when when you
do something like what I did where you
put yourself out there and you write
this really long letter to explain like
hey let’s put it in a business sense
right like I’m going to start charging a
fee right for my services my feet my
services were fee free at one point now
I’m charging a service fee or something
to that effect or yeah like you you
offer a service and it was a free
complimentary service but now you’re
gonna start charging for that fee that’s
fine being upfront is super super
important for your customer base to be
like hey there’s people there and here’s
why they’re doing this this isn’t just a
money grab this isn’t just for profit
and you know I’ve seen something about
how Millennials in particular really
want that connection to a business when
but you know I don’t think that’s a new
concept when I was reading that Oracle I
was thinking to myself like when you
think about like your grandparents your
great-grandparents you know many of them
or even some in some cases your parents
right they worked at one company maybe
it was a factory maybe it was for baby
it was blah blah blah and they stayed
there for their entire career retire got
a pension and it was awesome they felt a
connection to that place and they
thought a connection so much so that
they would stay there for endless years
um and they would buy American or buy
that particular type of brand because of
that that brand loyalty that they felt
from the get-go so I I think that it’s
not really a new concept that
Millennials really need to have that
that that social responsibility
Specht I mean my business has it you
know donating to hope works ten percent
of our profits each year to hope works
in Camden so it’s it’s it’s something
about having that feel-good nature to
give back that you can connect with
ending and going with that being able to
be open and honest and having that
honest and open conversation it just is
gonna make all the world of difference
to your client base and your customers
you know some people some people wanted
to really go off about how um you know
hey Joe you’re making a change in your
business and we don’t know if it’s gonna
be successful or not but to me I already
knew it was gonna be successful because
I knew that I was about to change
how I my whole show is structured and
how my youtube channel and life my
business podcast was going to become one
I saw that vision in fact that’s why the
new website address is going to be the
business dot TV instead of the business
podcast comm because this isn’t just a
podcast anymore this is a podcast as a
video this is me writing articles about
business this is everything that I’ve
worked towards from the last three and a
half years coming together to to build a
one unified brand and one unified
message of not just you know life and
and how to be you know how to self
develop yourself but also business and
how does it how to self develop yourself
through your business and develop your
business at the same time so like you
know my mantra is always build your
business for your lifestyle not your
lifestyle for your business now there’s
a lot people I want to say oh it’s a
lifestyle business or this fat or third
that’s fine but if you already have a
business you need to work towards that
that’s it’s not just a given that you’re
going to attain that that lifestyle that
you’re looking for because you have that
have a business you know money doesn’t
accommodate for that all the time so so
yeah so I I think um I think you really
want to take a look at stuff taking a
step back especially after you’ve made a
big change and just the value
wait how you’re doing it how you’re
feeling it I know when when going
through those changes and getting some
of those responses you know I felt not
great about them
it didn’t feel uh it didn’t feel like
like oh man I obviously I made the right
decision some people felt I made the
right decision I knew even though um you
know sometimes it’s hard to see it like
in in the short term that like I’m
making the right decision for me my
family my business for for my platform
for my guests for everybody it’s it can
sometimes get muddled because somebody
has something negative to say or not
super positive to say about it and I’d
love to say that it’s easy to just
struggle that off and move on but it’s
not always easy to just shrug it off and
move on it can be very difficult and
that’s why you gotta you gotta find the
buttons the press to make it so that you
know how to hit your reset button so you
can keep on moving forward you know with
your decision and and I don’t regret
this at all now I love this because I
get the platform that I’ve worked so
hard to build to talk to people like
this one-on-one to a camera to the
podcast might you know my voice to your
ears as we say in podcasting and and do
things that are kind of creative so you
know do I know where where I’m heading
as far as like what if the one of the
video ends up being more popular than
the podcast well that’s that’s a
possibility too I don’t know I know a
lot of people watch the last video and a
lot of people even like so so it was
about four time the podcast episode was
about four times more popular than the
video of the same exact thing that
that’s in here so I don’t know maybe
that’ll change over time maybe it won’t
maybe I’m I’m shooting these videos for
my own pleasure and just to continue to
have new content on my youtube channel I
don’t know we’ll see where that goes but
um but I
I want you to to take this away and and
to think about this over this the course
of this week of how am I going to take a
step back from a change that I’ve just
made or I’m about to make and shortly
after I make that change really think
about how you’re going to stay positive
motivated and not just crushed under the
pressure of well we made a big change
and now I need to go back to this the
way it was because obviously I didn’t
get the the parade you know the red
carpet in the parade all ticker-tape
tout for me and all that and that and
that’s okay because not everyone’s gonna
see it the way that you see it and and
as I think I may one thing I didn’t
maybe wrote about in the the note was
you know some of the people that were
kind of negative about the change I
don’t know that they understand what
it’s like to get 50 to 100 emails a week
or not I’m sorry not a week a month in
your inbox looking for people or to have
guests show up be on your show it’s it’s
a bit overwhelming especially cuz you’re
a woman if you’re a one man or one woman
operation like myself like it’s it’s
tough it’s it’s not it’s not easy and
and you sometimes you have to make those
those difficult decisions um
and with that said I appreciate all
those people that sent those guests and
I appreciate them utilizing the platform
and everything but it was time to change
just like it was time to change my
office and just like it was time to talk

]]>You read right, I’m now charging my podcast guests.
Check out the post here.
I wanted to write a quick update to this post, which is one of the most popular posts on my site. I recently went through and updated my package offerings and adjusted some of my offerings to better fit what I have time to accommodate. Always remember to be genuine and up front about your intentions.
I love podcasting. I love it so much for what it is, my voice and your ears. I love it for what it has given me, which is a direction for my life and my business. From close friends, I have gained to the connections to people from every corner of the planet. Finally, I am grateful for what the platform allows me to give to others in the form of enjoyable and educational content.
April 2, 2014, I ended my life long journey of working at my family’s $100 Million business without a clue as to what I was going to do to support my wife and I. I went back to school to try to figure it out and started going to networking meetings to potentially find a path. One month later I was on a plane to Disney World and thanks to a friend on the plane I was inspired to start the Dreamers Podcast which three years later would transition into The Business Podcast. I built on the fact that I started blogging back in 1996 as a kid and never stopped. Content creation and bringing people together has always been my goal.
Towards the end of 2014, I even started up the Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference which has been growing year over year since. I’ve given tons of talks across the country both advocating for people to find and pursue their dreams, grow their business, and pushing for others to create their own content to connect with others and create a movement. I’ve written four books with the first three being critically acclaimed self-development books and the fourth coming out on March 2, 2018.
Podcasting means the world to me and I could not imagine my life without it. I have always experimented with trying new things on my show. From doing the show five days a week for four months back when I was just getting started, to have a pre-show in front of my guest interviews, to doing topic shows and so much more. I always push my fellow podcasters to own the fact that their show is theirs and they shouldn’t allow others to dictate how long an episode should be or what it should be about (within reason of staying cohesive with the brand you are creating).
Over the nearly four years of podcasting I always get the same question: but how do you make any money from doing a podcast? I explain to them that from my show I have made almost zero dollars. Because of my podcast I have been able to make a living, a successful business and a brand revolving around what I love to do.
My time is light years away from where it once was four years ago. Going from having a wife to becoming a family of four has changed my expectations for what I need to accomplish in my allotted time and the amount of money my time is worth has greatly increased over the last four years.
Another thing that has changed is the direction and mission of my podcast. I changed the name to The Business Podcast shortly after winning Business Podcast of the year from the 12th Annual Podcast Awards to better reflect the topic of my show. While my show started out as a self-development show, over the course of the years it morphed into a show about business. Which is a topic that I am endlessly passionate about?
The podcast will still be released every Tuesday at 8 AM EST. Going forward I am creating four separate series for my show going forward.
A few months back after winning the Podcast Awards, I took a step back and started looking at how I was spending my time with my show. Over the course of the first four years of the show, I have been able to shave the hours down to producing my show. What started to occur to me was that once my show made the jump from Dreamers Podcast: Business Lessons From Those Who Live Their Dreams to The Business Podcast featuring Super Joe Pardo was that I needed to redirect my energy with the show. I have always loved highlighting others, I have built my life around that. I truly believe that we all hold a spotlight and in order to get where we want to go in life, we need to shine our light onto others. The Dreamers Podcast was built on this premise.
Now, The Business Podcast is a pure business podcast where the goals for me are:
The first two goals have been something that I would say has been happening since I got started podcasting. The third goal had eluded me, for the most part.
After giving some deep thought about this for a couple of months (in between finishing up my fourth book) I think I know why that is.
Being a great host and growing a show has been amazing for me on so many levels as I stated above, but my goals are not aligned with getting hired for being a great host. Am I honored that some have told me that they love my show, my hosting abilities, and how I run the show? Absolutely!
But here’s the thing… No one is going to hire me to consult for their business based on being a fun host on an engaging show.
My show needs to highlight my skill set more. My show needs to highlight be directly affecting the businesses of others. Having guests on my show have been incredible, and I love many of the hundreds of guests I’ve had on. Now that the show is solely focused on business and I am almost exclusively having business owners on to talk about their journey, business, and skills. I am not giving my audience enough of my journey, my business, and the skills that will actually enable me to have higher exposure and increasing my chances of being hired as a consultant.
My time, word, audience, consistency, platform, website/podcast hosting costs, promotion skills, producing, hosting skills, and promoting them are worth money.
Time: Time spent away from my family. Time spent away from working on the parts of my business that do make money.
Word: My word is the only thing in this world that is truly mine.
Audience: A growing audience that spans thousands of downloads per month. Interactions regularly with my listeners.
Consistency: While my podcast has been released on time every week since May 2014 (over 330 episodes), my current site has been operating since 2011. Not mention my previous blogs that go back to 1996. When going back over the shows that I have been featured on over the last three years to see if I can get back on to promote my upcoming book, I was disappointed to see that around half of them don’t exist anymore.
Platform: Bringing business owners together from all over the world on a platform that spans Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, and more.
Hosting Costs: The hosting costs for both the website and keeping the podcast online for the world to download.
Promotion Skills: The skills needed to attract listeners with the content created to promote the content (the podcast episode).
Producing: From equipment to the time it takes to put the episode together soup to nuts takes time.
Hosting Skills: Becoming an award-winning podcaster has opened my eyes to the value that I am providing for not only my listeners but my guests. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told that after being on my show they feel like they have been to a therapy session. (example at the end of that episode) Being able to highlight their journey, life, business and skill set is something that I have been honing even before I started my show. Helping them by not only creating a great interview to showcase them but crafting a premium experience for them to share with others. That is because I am genuinely interested in learning about people and their stories.
Promoting Them: In the last year, the amount of guest pitches I have received from PR companies has grown exponentially. The guests are looking to promote themselves, their products and services.
Having several PR companies pitching me 50 to 100 guests per month has made filling my episode pipeline much easier, it has started to become an issue with my limited time to produce the show in the first place. My calendar has gotten booked upwards of 6 months out, at a time. Each episode taking between 3-4 hours of time to create. We now have our second child, and to balance lifestyle with my business, I need to find a way to do what I have not done in the past: Make money from my show, not just because of my show.
I am more than happy to continue to have guests on my show and help them promote their products and services. But the time has come to start charging for people who are looking for promotion. As they are business owners who can and should be writing off their advertising expenses on their taxes.
The people using PR companies are paying for easier access to shows like mine and they are getting paid. As a consistent, award-winning, content creator who is putting a ton of work into his platform. I deserve to be paid as well.
<soapbox>
I want to point out that I hope to achieve by charging a sponsorship fee is that my guests will become more invested in my premium platform. I can’t tell you how many guests I’ve had that decided not to share their episode.
Utilizing the mid to higher packages I offer include paid Facebook ads to help push the platform and my guest further.
Life and business should not be a one-way street.
</soapbox>
Let me first say that I am good friends with several of these companies. I got a lot of love, respect and cheer on those people (you know who you are) and I hope they love, respect and cheer me on what I am looking to accomplish with this new plan of action.
With all that said, and the shift to putting the focus back on myself in three of my four series on The Business Podcast I have generated a spreadsheet with over 400 topics that I want to talk about on the show in the Business Lessons series. That list alone will bring me 8 years of content if I never had another guest on my show.
By adding these different series to the podcast, I am going to be able to start accomplishing all three of the goals that I mentioned above.
Combine that with the fact that doing these other types of episodes will enable me to reduce my production time down from 3-4 hours per episode to about 1. This will enable me to focus on doing the things that allow me to make money to support my family, business and passion.
I’m going to continue to fulfill my passion of business and helping others regardless of how this pans out.
Affiliates can be great, but only if your audience is going to act on the information and use your affiliate link or code.
Sponsors are fine, but in many cases, they only want you if you have 1000’s of listeners and are going to pay 20$ per 1000. (Give or take.)
Part of my sponsorship packages includes sponsorship from the guest. Creating a personal connection (it’s just your voice and their ears) with my listeners is endlessly more important than just having an ad.
The packages that I have worked out are set up to increase the exposure of the guest and the episode. So this is not so much a fee to be a guest on the show as it is a tiered level to get access to increased promotion of your episode, products, and services.
Currently, I have packages that range from $300 to $3,000 with the mid to high packages including paid Facebook ads created by me, the ad reads in the episodes and more.
You can click here to check out the current packages.
My plan is to interview 2 to 3 nonprofit leaders a year with no sponsorship fee.
Plus the podcast is part of my business, 234 Solutions, I donate 10% of my profits to Hopeworks where they help Camden, NJ youth get onto a path for education and a career.
The answer is no. Having a self-development show originally had slightly different goals and my guests from that time period are just amazing. Most of them were not actively trying to promote their products or services and I had deep connections with them either before the interview or after the interview. Not to say that I don’t have that now, but it is certainly different now that the show is business focused with business owners coming on to help promote their business, products, and services.
I realize it is not something that many other podcasters are doing and I expect some to push back. I can’t tell you if this strategy is for every podcaster, but I know what feels right for me, my family, my platform, my listeners and my guests.
My hope is that I have covered everything in this open letter.

]]>But you wouldn’t know he’s a lawyer by looking at the whiteboard in his office or his bookshelf. His whiteboard doesn’t have anything about the law. Nope, it’s filled with tasks related to platform building, inbound marketing, and sales-funnels. And his bookshelf is filled with books written by, for, and about online entrepreneurs.
Bobby is an online entrepreneur, whose expertise just happens to be the law. He serves other online entrepreneurs by helping them protect their online businesses and to do so affordably.
He founded a company called Your Online Genius to help online entrepreneurs who can’t justify spending tens of thousands of dollars on an attorney to protect their businesses themselves. The company provides free and paid resources that help online entrepreneurs “do-it-themselves.”

For the last 15 years, Jonny’s been coaching entrepreneurs and business owners large and small in the three principles of what he calls Effortless Marketing – Awareness > Interest > Engagement.
In 2017, Jonny launched The Success Party with the following Massive Transformative Purpose:
“My MTP with The Success Party is to empower 100,000 entrepreneurs by 2025 with the principles of Effortless Marketing, reducing stress and creating more impact around the world.”
He launched The Jonny Hates marketing podcast in October 2017, with Season 1 promising to bring his unique philosophies to life with humour and passion.
In Jonny’s words from The Success Party homepage:
“We’re alive at a point in history where there is more opportunity to thrive than ever before. Digital tools and access to universal connectivity provide us with everything we could need to build an exponential business, and a life of our wildest dreams.
Yet too often we find ourselves stifled by procrastination, fear and overwhelm.
Overwhelm from too much information.
Overwhelm from social media noise.
Overwhelm from the death of traditional marketing.
Overwhelm from the scale of opportunity.
The antidote to all that is clarity:
Clarity of Thought
Clarity of Ideas
Clarity of Action”
As Jonny says – Let’s Get On With It!
Learn why both Johnny and Super Joe Pardo hate marketing, and you should too.

]]>Jeff inspires clients to be progressive, forward-thinking and innovative, and enjoys repeat business because of a strong work ethic and professional values deeply rooted in integrity, respect and accountability.
After running a local newspaper ad in 2004, Jeff Clem got a call, landed a client and started his first “dynamic online retail” (a.k.a., e-Commerce) website. He continued to help business owners get into the online retailing game with great success and officially founded mobiWebcom in 2012. The company enjoyed such a loyal and satisfied customer base that it just made sense to form mobiWebcom and provide creative solutions to more businesses.
Given its web and computer technology heritage, mobiWebcom has naturally been at the forefront of digital media technology, tools and techniques. Interactive digital media simply went hand-in-hand with online retailing, and getting people to buy took more than just a pretty website. Jeff quickly realized that customers’ success partly depended on providing engaging media that could educate consumers. Since then, mobiWebcom has been focused on the creative design of cutting-edge interactive media for web, mobile and social networks. While the company still maintains roots in e-Commerce, it has grown to help clients in a variety of industries with training, educating and informing their employees and customers through interactive digital media solutions.

Johnathan Grzybowski has been listed as Owners Magazine’s 40 under 40. He is the co-founder of Penji, a dependable on-demand design service that helps marketing teams receive unlimited custom design at a flat monthly cost. He is also the producer and host of a business and entrepreneurship podcast called The Blind Entrepreneur Podcast. It features interviews with entrepreneurs, CEO’s, and business professionals to help those who may be temporarily blind in business and guide those individuals to profitability within their company. Johnathan Grzybowski’s business goal is to empower, educate, and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs. In his spare time, you can find him streaming the WWE App on his iPhone, exploring local cuisines, or trying different wines from the old world.
Johnathan’s passage was met with a ton of failure. His consistent trait of not easily giving up and continually keeping going led him to what Penji is today. After working for Apple for numerous years, he learned a lot about entrepreneurship. Having founded multiple companies before, some are still going strong, but the one thing he’s most proud of is Penji. It is his answer to the question, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” He wants to help entrepreneurs and dreamers who have visions but may not have the resources for it. He and his co-founder asked themselves, how can we help more people? What they had then wasn’t answering that question. So on a soul-searching trip to Vietnam, Penji was born.
Penji provides unlimited graphic design at a fixed monthly rate. For as low as $399 a month, their customers can send as many design requests in a month. They are given access to a dashboard where they will send their design briefs. This is also where they will communicate with Penji’s graphic designers. Once you write your project description, your request will automatically be assigned to the best designer for the job. After a turnaround time of 24 to 48 hours, you’ll receive an initial draft of the project. You’ll then be asked to review it and send it for revisions if needed. Aside from Penji’s unlimited graphic design, their plans also come with unlimited revisions. This means that you can have your designs revised as much as you want until you get the design you want. After the edits, you can download your designs straight from the Penji dashboard. You can now move on to the next project. All the designs you request will be yours to keep as you get full ownership of them.
Penji can create a wide range of designs. Here is a list of the most commonly requested design types:
There are more, but if what you need isn’t on the list, they can custom design it for you.
Penji has three available plans. The Pro, Team, and Agency. Here are the pricing and the inclusions:
While other competing companies offer custom illustrations as a separate plan, Penji has included them in their Team and Pro plans. All plans have a No Contract/ Cancel Anytime inclusion. If the workload gets low and you no longer need their services, you can stop your subscription and return only when you need to.
They also offer a 15-day, 100% money-back guarantee to give you peace of mind to try the service without making a big commitment.
Most of Penji’s clients are individuals who have a specific need for content. Generally, Penji is for people and companies who want quality design. Penji is trying to change the status quo and the stigma of business, which is to pick from either quality or efficiency.
Their goal is to provide fast, high-quality, and affordable designs. Entrepreneurs before never had the chance to have all of these. Penji made it their mission to provide them with all three.
The following form the part of Penji’s majority of clients:
Agencies make up the bulk of Penji’s clients. They love working with Penji as they delegate the minor tasks to them to focus on the more significant projects. Agencies like to think of Penji as their design assistant, someone to take on the extra functions.
Marketers or marketing companies who have a regular need for the quality content benefit from Penji’s services. They have easy access to graphic design at affordable rates. All this while never having to worry about recruitment and vetting processes that come with hiring people.
Penji’s cost-effective plans are the reason they’re a hit with startups and small businesses with limited budgeting. They won’t have to resort to using online templates to get logos and other branding visuals. Penji’s unlimited graphic designs help them to stand out from their competition.
People who maintain personal websites or bloggers take advantage of Penji’s services. For articles that require relevant images, Penji can be an asset to them. They won’t have to use stock graphics that almost every blogger uses.
Penji is an excellent solution for all your graphic design needs. Johnathan’s love for Camden compelled him and his co-founder to build Penji. They wanted to bring a new renaissance and a fresh set of eyes into the city, and this, they have succeeded in doing.
Thus, proceeds from Penji go directly back to the city by hiring people within the area. It gives a platform to people who are incredibly talented but may not have the know-how or the resources to get hired. So when you sign up for Penji, not only will you be getting quality graphic designs, you’ll also be giving back to the community.

James realized that conventional measures of achievement can keep even the best performers from finding fulfillment. He mistakenly defined himself by his accomplishments rather than by who he was, which in turn, made him miserable!
To help others find purpose and redefine what matters most, James created his Personal Resucceed Coaching program where he helps high achieving professionals and entrepreneurs get more from life. He recently published his first book, RESUCCEED: Create an Extraordinary Future While You Sleep by Using the 5-Minute Epic Evening Ritual.

Not too long ago he was working a 9-to-5 job as a website developer, but over time it became apparent that being employed by someone was never going to enable him to create the happy, free life that he wanted. Although he was competent in his work, he was not feeling fulfilled.
He found himself starting side projects all the time. One of these came out of my enjoyment practicing the traditional Japanese art of paper folding known as origami. He was always folding little paper creatures which littered his desk at work, and he kept challenging himself to create more intricate pieces.
Ross Symons dedicated the entire year of 2014 to improving his craft and sharing it with world. That’s when he started his popular Instagram account, white_onrice, where he folded and posted a different origami figure every day of the year. He increased his following on this account from just 120 to over 100,000 in under 18 months. As the project grew, he developed an entire brand around White on Rice, which has allowed him to quit his 9-to-5 job and run his own business.
He does origami installations, art exhibitions, create origami stop frame animations and create social media content for brands around the world. He also does public speaking gigs where he shares his story about how he made the shift from 9-5 web developer to an Instagrammer and full time artist.

]]>In the winter of 2004, Michael decided to start publishing board games; he felt this would be a good way to channel his creative energies, work within his passion, and make a living. His is wife was 100% in support of him and he even had an extraordinarily good game to publish in Gheos, which was later published by Z-Man Games. Yet, as often happens with grand plans and schemes, life came along and changed his course in a fantastic way – his wife was pregnant with their first child. This was even more exciting than publishing board games. However, it threw a financial security monkey wrench into the publishing plan. Both he and his wife wanted her to be able to stay home with their children – that meant he needed a stable job with good income potential.
Michael knew he could have the option to work with his father providing financial advice. He know he would be good at it, enjoy it, and gain fulfillment through planning for and protecting lifestyles in retirement. His wife would be able to stay at home, and they could live a comfortable life with relative financial stability. On the other hand, he REALLY wanted to publish board games!
Although he chose this route as his family grew – and it proved to be the right financial decision at the time – Michael’s heart was still set upon the business world surrounding games. Finally, in March of 2009, he decided to give publishing a chance – in his extra time outside of being married, having two kids, full-time employment, and building a house…Tasty Minstrel Games was born. As of October 17th, 2016, TMG has receiving $2,546,682 in funds from Backers on Kickstarter from 26 individual hobby board gaming projects.

]]>Richard Ennis, AKA Trippy Trip, is a rapper from South Jersey. He was born in Cape May Courthouse, but primarily raised in the small Island town of Wildwood NJ. Richard started his passion at just age 11 writing simple raps as a way of venting his frustrations. At that age he used his music as retaliation and stress relief from heavy bullying he received in middle school. By the time he was 15 Rich realized that his talent was way more than a hobby and decided to take it more serious. From age 15 to 18 Rich began releasing karaoke and cheaply recorded mix tape CDs to his friends. After high school he attended Rowan University and in his freshman year joined the club Lyrical Alliance which helped him really improve his song writing and performance skills. After a few more minor mix tapes that were recorded by himself and in dorm rooms Rich realized he had to make a change.
In 2013 through a friend and fellow artist Rich Ennis met Tommy Capuano of Resilient Studios and recorded his first official full length Mix tape, Music You Can Nod To. This new project helped Rich get the attention of his peers and many other artists in the Philadelphia and Jersey regions. After doing live shows and releasing a music video Rich then released his second project Translucent in October of 2016. From this project Rich has received even more acclaim and has been on radio shows and more. His hit single Memory Lane has over 1500 listens on Sound cloud and its music video has over 500 views. Now Rich is working on an album and pushing Translucent any way he can. Rich is a humble rapper and considers his music to be conscious hip hop. He writes to inspire others and because he loves the culture of hip hop immensely. Because of the highly drug and crime influenced mainstream media Rich strongly advocates for a drug free and positive life. Rich graduated from Rowan University in 2015 with a BA in Psychology.
Rich Ennis’ motto in life is that there is no such thing as failure. Every choice or move in life is either a success or a stepping stone to success.

]]>Christina Rodriguez, more well known as Chrissy Morales, is a television talk show host
from Southern New Jersey. She was born and raised in the high rolling city of Atlantic City.
Chrissy adopted a love for entertainment at a young age. At just 4 years old she joined the
Puerto Rican Parade of Atlantic City as a dance performer and later competed in the Latinos
Unidos Dance Group. It was at this young age she discovered she adored the spotlight. From
this discovery,Chrissy’s life long dream of being a talk show host began. As a child she made up
her own little shows that she would host and perform for her family and although fun in nature it
was obvious that a seed had been planted. As she grew up the world of entertainment only drew
her in more and more. In 2005 she began to participate in Atlantic City High’s drama club and
plays. It was then that she landed her first lead role as Lola Cabana in Damn Yankees. This was
the hook that sank Chrissy deeper into the theatre world. Upon Graduating she attended Rowan
University and Began as a Theatre major. Then in the summer of 2011, in her true dream
chasing fashion, she became a character performer for Walt Disney World Resorts in Florida.
After that magical experience she returned to Jersey to continue her education where her love for
TV entertainment resurfaced. After changing her major to Journalism she began hosting and
directing for the Rowan Television Network(RTN). In 2013, Chrissy hosted and produced an
original show for RTN called “Spitting Bars.” She was a natural in front of the camera and went
to intern at NBC 40 News and Atlantic City Weekly. However, even with all of these endeavors
her dream to be the host of her own real TV talk show held strong.
The breaking point came to Chrissy during college after she was heavily exposed to the
media. She learned that the news tended to lean toward reporting too much negativity. From
this realization she knew that it was time make her own lane. It was time to start work on her
own show where she would shed a positive light on another side of news. Chrissy’s idea was to
focus on people who were doing great things in the community under the radar. The show would
appropriately be called Unsung Heroes. This concept, the very backbone of the show, was
inspired years prior by Chrissy’s winning of the Unsung Hero award at the Chelsea Hotel. She
received this award for going above and beyond the call of duty at her job. Although the idea
was fully formed Chrissy still needed one final push to make her dream come true.
In 2013 while while still attending Rowan University, she was interviewed by Dr.Stanley
El on The American Dream Rowan Radio Show. On this show, upon being asked what her own
dream was, she was finally motivated to put everything she could to making it a reality. From
that interview came the spark that lit the flame in her heart. Chrissy began live shooting Unsung
Heroes in 2014 at the annual I AM film festival in Woodbury NJ. After doing so a 2nd time in
2015 Chrissy made a much needed professional move. Later on that year she began filming the
show as pre rehearsed in its own studio setting. Today Chrissy has released 2 full seasons of her
show consisting of 14 guests and 14 episodes all on you tube. She is still on her journey and
won’t stop until she is a household name.
Below is the interview that I did with Chrissy!
She is such a great host and I can definitely see big things in her future.

Check out the first time I was at Waterfront Ventures back in May of 2016!
PACT for Animals is a champion of the Human-Animal Bond. PACT gives peace of mind to hospital patients and military personnel by placing their pets in temporary foster homes until their owners can be reunited with the companion animals they love.
Every year thousands of companion animals are surrendered into animal shelters due to temporary crises. By providing access to safe foster homes for animals until their human companions can take them back, PACT reduces the number of animals in animal shelters and gives the owners peace of mind that their best friends will not be lost, abused, or euthanized.
We are the ONLY active non-profit organization in the country providing this unique, essential service in the animal welfare community, and all PACT Programs are FREE! PACT carefully screens every case to find the perfect match of Foster Home and Foster Pet. Foster families are in constant contact with the military/hospitalized owners providing regular updates, including photos, messages and videos of their beloved pets. For many people in a hospital bed, on deployment, or in another crisis situation, these emails are a comfort for their raw nerves, and the best thing they see all week!
When people are fighting for their health or fighting for our country, no one should have to worry about the safety of their best friends. Our foster programs save lives with every successful crisis rescue, foster placement, and joyful reunion. At PACT we believe in keeping families together and building strong communities willing to protect the Human-Animal Bond.
Our work is necessary in the animal welfare community and we love what we do!
Red Queen Gaming is the #1 site for gamers to create and access custom gameplay tools. With our platform, we work directly with game developers so developers, players, and toolmakers all work together to make games better for everyone.

His early life accolades include, competing on a national level in Martial Arts, custom car building, and traveling the world as a professional DJ and break dancer.
His greatest achievement in life is being a first time father to a beautiful baby girl. He currently resides in sunny South Florida where he works in management at the largest grocery retailer in the southeast.
Anthony Hayes’ journey began in 2004. An overwhelming wave of emotional flatness washed over. A numbness.
The past 10 years have encompassed some of the darkest, most trying times in his life. Having to fight battles of depression, self medicating, and divorce all before the ripe old age of 30.
Somehow, somewhere in this vast universe something was watching and he lived to tell the story. This is a true testament of will, perseverance, and heart. Hayes refused to give up–always wanting to understand what he was going through more thoroughly.
The arsenal to combat these feeling-less feelings was a combination of several things for Anthony. These included medication, music, writing, and podcasting. Whether it be reading, research, mediation or doing creative things like writing The Science of Being Hayes believes “Our best days lie ahead of us.
” Between the years of 2004-2014 Anthony documented a journey and battle with clinical depression, anxiety, ADHD, self medicating, and bouts of insomnia. After several working titles “The Science of Being – Surviving: Depression” is here.
Excerpt from The Science of Being Surviving: Depression by: Anthony Hayes
[When a situation was unfolding, I wouldn’t think, “Why me, not again.” Rather, I would think, “One day, this will make sense.” Instead of looking at how much more of a thing we have left to do, we should look at all we’ve already accomplished to get this far. When I’m working, I do this often. There will be a series of tasks I’ve yet to take on. I can feel myself start to think, “Wow I am never going to get this done in the time allotted.” It is then out of my peripherals I see that I’m already halfway done! I can honestly say without a doubt, from the bottom of my heart, there is a brighter future for us all.]

]]>I’ve always been fascinated by biographies of successful people and those who have overcome adversity. I can still remember how enthralled I was as a teenager when I read the autobiographies of Arthur Ashe and Christopher Reeve. Their stories and the inspirational books of Anthony Robbins (Awaken the Giant Within and Unlimited Power) and Stephen Covey (The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People and First Things First) captured my attention about our potential as humans and our ability to improve ourselves.
This was personalized for me when I began to play competitive hockey. As a goaltender, I quickly realized the importance of mental training in addition to physical training. I was able to see steady improvements in all aspects of my performance when I consistently incorporated strategies I gleaned from my interest in self-help literature, fitness techniques, and nutrition. It was with these experiences that I began to form my interest in psychology.
Upon realizing that a professional sports career was not in my future, I turned my attention to earning my first degree in Health Studies before pursuing a second degree in Psychology. After 5 years of full time study to obtain both of my undergraduate degrees, I still hadn’t satisfied my appetite for learning about the mind and brain. So I applied and was accepted to study clinical psychology in graduate school. I decided to study clinical psychology over psychiatry in my post-graduate work because of psychology’s stronger focus on understanding the full spectrum of human nature as opposed to psychiatry’s primary emphasis on psychopathology.
Now as a licensed psychologist in Ontario, Canada, my official areas of practice include clinical psychology, clinical neuropsychology, and forensic/correctional psychology. My training and experience crosses a broad spectrum of psychological difficulties including working with individuals with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, dementias (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease), brain injuries (from sports concussion to severe traumatic brain injuries), and those involved in the criminal justice system (i.e., offenders of all types). I have worked clinically in a university psychology clinic, psychiatric hospital, rehabilitation hospital for those with brain injuries, geriatric hospital, prison and in private practices. I believed that to truly understand success and potential,
I needed to thoroughly understand and work with people of all types including those who were at their lowest points and those who were not living up to their potential. I now primarily focus on professional, national/Olympic, and up-and-coming elite athletes, as well as other high achievers such as professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, academics, and writers, achieve their personal and professional potential. I am currently director of Friesen Sport & Performance Psychology and a contributor to Success.com. I’m also the author of Achieve: Find Out Who You Are, What You Really Want, and How To Make It Happen (Book 1 of the High Achievement Handbook Series).

Prior to Johnson’s success, he had had many failures. When he started as an online entrepreneur, he read too many blog post and as a result, made too many mistakes.
He was told that the best way to get traffic and scale online was to blog everyday a week. Johnson would spend 8 hours to write a great blog post but no one was seeing what he was cracking out.
He got another advise that, he should spend more time on social media, particularly facebook and he did but failed.
In fact, Johnson was told to do 1000s of things and as a crazy action taker, he did but kept failing.
As an Africa Child, Johnson did not have money to start his online business. He did not allow money to keep hold him back.
So, he went to ‘sell’ a web development service to a firm. Johnson and the firm settled for $1,200. At this point, he had no experience about creating a website but had already validated the market.
So, he used $800 from the money he was paid to go for a training on web design and keep the balance of $400.
Johnson was able to deliver on that project within 60days. He built the web development company to 6-figures within few months and later sold it and switch to online marketing.
Johnson and his team have been cracking out behavioral marketing and sales systems that rocks.

]]>Derek Zardus’ mantra on the road is the running equivalent of Carolina Pulled Pork – Low and Slow. He believes we can run and improve ourselves without destroying the machinery that propels us forward. Downshifting on general runs by running and walking allows us to run more regularly and more consistently without the common maladies that plague many runners: shin spints, plantar faceitious, Ilio Tibial Band Syndrome, etc. Derek started running consistently about six years ago and suffered from a wide variety of those common problems until recovery from a herniated disc led him to commit to consistent run/walk strategies. Since then, he has completed 3 official marathons (Burlington VT, Bay of Fundy International, and Newport RI), paced a friend as race support for the Sugarloaf ME marathon, and completed 4 other marathon distances this past year as training for his 2016 goal of running 50 classic marathon routes in 50 states in 50 weeks. Derek has also paced a variety of half marathons with Beast Pacing starting in March of 2015.

]]>This week I have a HUGE announcement to make. Dealing with fear of defeat had definitely weighed on my mind, but I am happy to announce: I was offered a job by HopeWorks, and I accepted! I will be working with teens to help them develop skills for both the work force, and starting their own business. While at the same time helping HopeWorks grow its web development company to help support the nonprofit. I go into great detail in this episode and what this means for my business and projects.
Thank you all for the support and love I have received over the past 2.5 years. This is far from the end! This is really just the beginning of even bigger and better things to come for me, my family, my platform, and my business.

I hope you are all enjoying these mini episodes that I am publishing to YouTube. Please let me know what you think in the comments or shoot me an email. 🙂

businesses in the long run which is
really I you know it’s exactly i I
74
00:06:03,460 –> 00:06:07,989
couldn’t ask for some a better position
without when I got started one of the
75
00:06:07,990 –> 00:06:13,360
things that I was doing with this show
and was hope was that was hopeful for
76
00:06:13,360 –> 00:06:18,40
was like hey if I do this show and I and
I build these and I write these books
77
00:06:18,40 –> 00:06:19,300
and build these products
78
00:06:19,300 –> 00:06:23,949
books and I was like it’s going to pull
people to me to the level that I’m gonna
79
00:06:23,949 –> 00:06:29,80
be able to get consulting work i’m going
to be able to help other people that are
80
00:06:29,80 –> 00:06:32,50
going to be like hey I want to work with
Joe and this is gonna be awesome and
81
00:06:32,50 –> 00:06:36,729
this is what I can learn and this is
what we can build together and and I’m
82
00:06:36,729 –> 00:06:41,770
so thankful that you know it’s taken two
and a half years to get to this point
83
00:06:41,770 –> 00:06:44,650
but it’s it’s worked
84
00:06:44,650 –> 00:06:52,210
now now admittedly admittedly I i did
have armed some hesitations at first
85
00:06:52,210 –> 00:06:58,120
right like oh you know I’m doing a lot
of different things I don’t know if this
86
00:06:58,120 –> 00:07:02,620
is really what I want to do what do I
want to really take a take a position
87
00:07:02,620 –> 00:07:10,509
within a company and and I was hesitant
because I felt defeated right like oh no
88
00:07:10,509 –> 00:07:15,879
I’m giving up on on what I want and I’m
giving up on my dreams and I’m settling
89
00:07:15,879 –> 00:07:19,719
for something but but the thing is but
the truth is like when I really broke it
90
00:07:19,719 –> 00:07:22,300
down like and thought about it
91
00:07:22,300 –> 00:07:29,229
no it’s not what I’m actually doing is
I’m helping build something and putting
92
00:07:29,229 –> 00:07:34,779
all my skills that I’ve already proven
that i have in my family’s business in
93
00:07:34,779 –> 00:07:41,830
my own business and applying that to
helping kids get out of really terrible
94
00:07:41,830 –> 00:07:46,930
situations and come out of it stronger
than when they went in and that I mean I
95
00:07:46,930 –> 00:07:52,509
can’t ask for a better situation this
isn’t joe going to a desk and saying oh
96
00:07:52,509 –> 00:07:59,409
man this is you know the titrated all
what I had going on for this for a
97
00:07:59,409 –> 00:08:04,960
paycheck this is joe going in and like
helping kids one day and the next day
98
00:08:04,960 –> 00:08:10,120
working with clients to get them better
all the set them up better for what they
99
00:08:10,120 –> 00:08:15,550
need in their businesses as well as the
business of hope works and and the web
100
00:08:15,550 –> 00:08:20,319
development side of stuff so this is
like this is like a culmination of
101
00:08:20,319 –> 00:08:25,539
everything that I want to do everything
that I i love about business and I’m
102
00:08:25,539 –> 00:08:32,799
getting that that chance to to put that
that awesome gold star on my resumé of
103
00:08:32,799 –> 00:08:36,819
things that I’ve accomplished in such a
short amount of time since leaving my
104
00:08:36,820 –> 00:08:41,529
family’s business now as far as my
projects the things that I do and the
105
00:08:41,529 –> 00:08:45,670
things that i love and the things that
I’m known for ya
106
00:08:45,670 –> 00:08:50,19
at first i was like oh man you know i’m
going to not have enough time to do all
107
00:08:50,19 –> 00:08:53,620
these things but actually it’s the
complete opposite when I when I really
108
00:08:53,620 –> 00:08:58,120
thought about it when I really broke
down the things that I’m doing and
109
00:08:58,120 –> 00:09:01,959
working on and things that would love to
work on there are so many projects i
110
00:09:01,959 –> 00:09:07,329
want to work on there so many projects
that really I you know I just haven’t
111
00:09:07,329 –> 00:09:11,620
had time so so two of those projects is
that my party card game that I just
112
00:09:11,620 –> 00:09:17,860
haven’t had time to do the reason is is
I i have the game together in my mind I
113
00:09:17,860 –> 00:09:20,829
haven’t started to build the game
because i realize how long it’s going to
114
00:09:20,829 –> 00:09:28,209
take to do it to flush it out to go from
concept to play testing to order
115
00:09:28,209 –> 00:09:34,149
building it to play testing to building
it in a retail tight box you know
116
00:09:34,149 –> 00:09:39,160
getting a printed and all that stuff to
taking it to market take doing the
117
00:09:39,160 –> 00:09:45,250
Kickstarter all of that stuff is just it
just takes so much time and it you know
118
00:09:45,250 –> 00:09:49,180
there’s other ways that I can go about
do like doing projects that make money
119
00:09:49,180 –> 00:09:56,140
now and here where I’m not like hey a
year from now I’m gonna be able to get
120
00:09:56,140 –> 00:10:03,160
this game out and you know we’re gonna
crank it out stuff like that so the
121
00:10:03,160 –> 00:10:06,730
other project that i really want to work
on is that followed to adventure tourism
122
00:10:06,730 –> 00:10:11,800
if you know eventually tutorial it’s the
the DJ album i did it launched it really
123
00:10:11,800 –> 00:10:16,569
kick-started this whole idea of like I’m
going to go out on my own i’m going to
124
00:10:16,570 –> 00:10:21,610
do something I’m going to trust myself
and my skills and I’m going to take it
125
00:10:21,610 –> 00:10:28,270
to that level that i know i can and i
have the problem his is um music albums
126
00:10:28,270 –> 00:10:32,680
in details they take a lot of time to
put together a lot of passion that’s got
127
00:10:32,680 –> 00:10:38,349
to go into it and you know they don’t
make it especially DJ albums they don’t
128
00:10:38,350 –> 00:10:43,570
make a lot of money if any money so
because the the art form isn’t really
129
00:10:43,570 –> 00:10:45,699
legal so it creates that
130
00:10:45,699 –> 00:10:51,69
under like how much time can i best in
something like that where I’m not going
131
00:10:51,69 –> 00:10:58,29
to be making money it’s really really
tough arm but now that I’m making you
132
00:10:58,29 –> 00:11:02,49
know going to be getting a paycheck and
going to have set hours where I don’t
133
00:11:02,49 –> 00:11:06,220
have to worry about like where my next
paycheck is going to come from because
134
00:11:06,220 –> 00:11:09,699
you know truth be told I haven’t made
like a ton of time money from all this
135
00:11:09,699 –> 00:11:16,508
stuff I made enough but enough is isn’t
isn’t enough to not have to worry about
136
00:11:16,509 –> 00:11:21,819
the next month you know it’s it’s it’s
not that I’m not that far along and
137
00:11:21,819 –> 00:11:26,889
that’s ok that’s alright so I’m going to
be able to do and dedicate time to those
138
00:11:26,889 –> 00:11:31,480
projects i’m going to be able to
dedicate time to the middle and podcast
139
00:11:31,480 –> 00:11:35,410
conference i’m going to be able to
dedicate time to the dreamers podcast
140
00:11:35,410 –> 00:11:40,629
here while still co-authoring the wisdom
of wall for kids which the words of a

142
00:11:44,739 –> 00:11:45,850

00:11:45,850 –> 00:11:50,769
maybe possibly not seeing a website on
the back of this but go check it out
144
00:11:50,769 –> 00:11:55,299
check it out on amazon really great book
dr. Jeff Barnes does a does a great job
145
00:11:55,299 –> 00:11:59,499
of writing a book and together we have
some really awesome ideas that we’re
146
00:11:59,499 –> 00:12:04,809
going to be putting together for a kid’s
version so from like seven years old to
147
00:12:04,809 –> 00:12:08,649
like 13 years old that’s where the sweet
spots going to be for our version of the
148
00:12:08,649 –> 00:12:14,919
book anyway and the other book that I’ll
be able to work on arm is my city my
149
00:12:14,919 –> 00:12:20,859
book sales won’t save your business and
to me that book is going to be a
150
00:12:20,859 –> 00:12:25,119
play-by-play of like everything that I
did over the years within my family’s
151
00:12:25,119 –> 00:12:31,509
business to make God just to help keep
it running and keep it going through the
152
00:12:31,509 –> 00:12:37,539
years and making it better optimizing
the processes working through like
153
00:12:37,539 –> 00:12:44,499
employee issues and and working through
generational gaps and people having to
154
00:12:44,499 –> 00:12:48,730
learn things and things like I had to
learn as well along the way because you
155
00:12:48,730 –> 00:12:52,179
know just because it’s the right way
doesn’t mean that it’s the way that
156
00:12:52,179 –> 00:12:55,419
everybody wants to go about doing things
so there’s things that I’ve learned that
157
00:12:55,419 –> 00:12:57,490
we you know that you have to work
through over
158
00:12:57,490 –> 00:13:01,959
over the course of time so these
projects are all things that I’m gonna
159
00:13:01,959 –> 00:13:07,810
be able to do with confidence because i
have the money in place to do it
160
00:13:07,810 –> 00:13:13,779
I have arm and at the same time I’m
gonna be able to learn all new set of
161
00:13:13,779 –> 00:13:18,939
skills i’m taking you know what I you

permission within themselves to succeed
169
00:14:01,480 –> 00:14:04,990
at what it is that they want to do no

going to be taking all the things that
172
00:14:18,70 –> 00:14:23,920
I’ve learned and applying that in and
getting to grow a business that it you
173
00:14:23,920 –> 00:14:27,279
know is attached to a nonprofit
organization doing amazing things in
174
00:14:27,279 –> 00:14:29,350
Camden New Jersey which we don’t know
175
00:14:29,350 –> 00:14:34,720
camden new jersey is one of consistently
rated like one of the top five most
176
00:14:34,720 –> 00:14:39,790
dangerous cities in America so it you
know and it’s only 20 minutes from my
177
00:14:39,790 –> 00:14:43,270
house so I’m super proud of the fact
that i’m going to be able to make a
178
00:14:43,270 –> 00:14:48,699
difference in my backyard with those
those teens with the company and make a
179
00:14:48,700 –> 00:14:56,320
difference in other people’s businesses
it’s I mean I it’s really it’s really
180
00:14:56,320 –> 00:15:02,410
really amazing to me and I and I and I’m
so grateful for the opportunity that I
181
00:15:02,410 –> 00:15:07,719
have afforded myself along this way I’m
so happy to have you along on this
182
00:15:07,720 –> 00:15:11,329
journey so you normally on fridays i
like
183
00:15:11,329 –> 00:15:16,219
did you know have a short episode this
is already been 15 minutes where I just
184
00:15:16,220 –> 00:15:20,239
talked about one specific topic in
business but i think the lesson here is
185
00:15:20,239 –> 00:15:25,279
that even though you know something
might feel like your letting going or
186
00:15:25,279 –> 00:15:30,619
failing or being defeated or going back
on what it is that you thought you set
187
00:15:30,619 –> 00:15:34,399
out to do the truth that matters when I
really thought back about the 02 and a
188
00:15:34,399 –> 00:15:35,509
half years ago
189
00:15:35,509 –> 00:15:40,910
you know I was building my resume for
what it is that I wanted to do with my
190
00:15:40,910 –> 00:15:45,769
life and that’s one of the reasons why
someone so even like hey Joe you’re not
191
00:15:45,769 –> 00:15:50,749
making any money are you what are you
doing that to the like we gotta take
192
00:15:50,749 –> 00:15:55,579
your mind out of that and put it in the
frame set of like if I’m learning if I’m
193
00:15:55,579 –> 00:16:02,29
really learning what I want to do with
my like along the way that the same as
194
00:16:02,29 –> 00:16:06,980
it which is if when you’re going to
school making honey when you go to
195
00:16:06,980 –> 00:16:11,629
school isn’t the goal its to learn is to
get the knowledge to get so many of
196
00:16:11,629 –> 00:16:15,889
those things so I i really want you to
take a look at the things that you’re
197
00:16:15,889 –> 00:16:20,689
doing and see if they’re lining up with
where it is that you want ahead because
198
00:16:20,689 –> 00:16:22,9
it really should
199
00:16:22,9 –> 00:16:26,389
there needs to be at least some
convergence of where you wanna head and
200
00:16:26,389 –> 00:16:30,980
what you want to do and how you’re doing
it all like there needs to be a
201
00:16:30,980 –> 00:16:34,699
crossroads they’re like the crossroads
that I’m at and I’ll you know and then I
202
00:16:34,699 –> 00:16:38,959
kind of got stressed out about our may I
got stressed out about the idea that oh
203
00:16:38,959 –> 00:16:44,660
no maybe you know you have people will
be think less of me because i i’m i’m
204
00:16:44,660 –> 00:16:49,189
taking this job but it’s not to me it’s
not a job it’s an opportunity to to do
205
00:16:49,189 –> 00:16:53,480
some really great things that I would
not have the opportunity if I didn’t do
206
00:16:53,480 –> 00:16:59,269
if i didn’t take action and start this
platform for myself and for the people
207
00:16:59,269 –> 00:17:07,309
that have been a part of it and and it’s
it’s so hard to really put into words
208
00:17:07,309 –> 00:17:13,398
how grateful that i am for for all of
you to be on this journey and for me to
209
00:17:13,398 –> 00:17:17,750
have started it in the first place to
have the bravery to start to tell people
210
00:17:17,750 –> 00:17:21,888
oh this is the Germans pockets and
people say oh that’s it’s the dreamcast
211
00:17:21,888 –> 00:17:24,300
or something that’s its console like
212
00:17:24,300 –> 00:17:29,100
so long and like the the Millers platoon
over two years ago and people most
213
00:17:29,100 –> 00:17:34,469
people still had never even heard of the
word podcast before but you gotta be you
214
00:17:34,470 –> 00:17:37,710
gotta have a vision and you have to own
that vision and you have to go from
215
00:17:37,710 –> 00:17:41,70
there in fact I just had a conversation
with somebody who wants to help billion
216
00:17:41,70 –> 00:17:45,60
1,000,000,000 small business owners in a
set amount of time I’ve had
217
00:17:45,60 –> 00:17:49,470
conversations with other people that
want to help like I’m being 5,000
218
00:17:49,470 –> 00:17:56,280
speakers or you know a million or even
just a million small business owners in
219
00:17:56,280 –> 00:18:00,510
instance exit or entrepreneurs and X
amount of time you know in like two
220
00:18:00,510 –> 00:18:05,610
years i’m gonna help all these people
and it sounds really bold and crazy and
221
00:18:05,610 –> 00:18:06,929
wild and like
222
00:18:06,930 –> 00:18:11,10
but that’s the whole point of dreaming
is that you you throw it out there but
223
00:18:11,10 –> 00:18:14,580
at the same time you have to own it you
have to take charge because no one else
224
00:18:14,580 –> 00:18:15,810
is going to own it for you
225
00:18:15,810 –> 00:18:19,80
no one’s gonna love you the way you need
to love you and no one else is going to
226
00:18:19,80 –> 00:18:24,780
love your dream and your vision the way
you love your dream and your vision so

Episode 264
]]>I spent this week in L.A. working with Dr. Jeff Barnes on our upcoming book about Walt Disney leadership skills for kids. On my last day out on the west coast, I spent it with some friends and decided to talk about framing your business for success while on Main Street USA! It is all about presentation that is part of the marketing. The sights, the sounds, how things line up, the music, the smells, the feeling of emotional connection that your business or product gives to your customers AND employees. Check out the episode up top or read the transcription below.
Check out the YouTube video above or listen to the podcast on iTunes.
I hope you are all enjoying these mini episodes that I am publishing to YouTube. Please let me know what you think in the comments or shoot me an email. 🙂

today I want to talk about framing and
10
00:00:25,380 –> 00:00:31,49
how awesome the framing is and then how
11
00:00:28,140 –> 00:00:32,549
important is your business and
12
00:00:31,50 –> 00:00:34,290
everything that you’re trying to do it’s
13
00:00:32,549 –> 00:00:37,500
about presentation when I same framing
14
00:00:34,290 –> 00:00:39,89
not just being framed like a Roger ride
15
00:00:37,500 –> 00:00:41,219
which was actually about the ride a
16
00:00:39,90 –> 00:00:44,129
little bit just over their best matter
17
00:00:41,219 –> 00:00:47,100
more to see the metamodel my my left or
18
00:00:44,129 –> 00:00:51,190
right I guess if it’s ya get thumbs up
19
00:00:47,100 –> 00:00:55,30
and I my right your left is
20
00:00:51,190 –> 00:00:57,160
and Mickey wanted I am Telling told
21
00:00:55,30 –> 00:00:58,870
something naughty community is our
22
00:00:57,160 –> 00:01:01,120
Sleeping Beauty Castle sleeping beauty
23
00:00:58,870 –> 00:01:04,268
castle yeah well no I yes Castle out
24
00:01:01,120 –> 00:01:06,460
there so anyway the importance of
25
00:01:04,269 –> 00:01:09,700
framing and the importance that when
26
00:01:06,460 –> 00:01:12,130
you’re trying to build something that
27
00:01:09,700 –> 00:01:13,930
other people are going to look at it
28
00:01:12,130 –> 00:01:16,240
doesn’t have to be perfect but in the
29
00:01:13,930 –> 00:01:18,280
case of this the framing of it has to be
30
00:01:16,240 –> 00:01:19,658
perfect so when you look at the castle
31
00:01:18,280 –> 00:01:22,780
maybe we should move the camera a little
32
00:01:19,659 –> 00:01:24,789
bit so you can get a better still shot
33
00:01:22,780 –> 00:01:27,850
of like what you’re seeing with with
34
00:01:24,789 –> 00:01:30,69
walking so close to us and yet it looks
35
00:01:27,850 –> 00:01:33,369
like he’s almost like standing in front
36
00:01:30,69 –> 00:01:40,60
of the castle on top of you need to do
37
00:01:33,369 –> 00:01:43,600
anyway it’s really important that too to
38
00:01:40,60 –> 00:01:45,39
understand the importance of framing
39
00:01:43,600 –> 00:01:46,360
when it comes to your business and
40
00:01:45,39 –> 00:01:49,149
putting yourself with the best foot
41
00:01:46,360 –> 00:01:53,350
forward when you’re doing any kind of
42
00:01:49,149 –> 00:01:55,840
marketing for website design
43
00:01:53,350 –> 00:01:56,890
or anything so it’s it’s it’s super
44
00:01:55,840 –> 00:01:59,110
important that you pay attention to the
45
00:01:56,890 –> 00:02:01,000
small details to small details for this
46
00:01:59,110 –> 00:02:04,30
big details like that it’s like a
47
00:02:01,000 –> 00:02:05,350
website work for sales process operate
48
00:02:04,30 –> 00:02:06,610
under the steps
49
00:02:05,350 –> 00:02:07,899
what are the pitfalls that your
50
00:02:06,610 –> 00:02:10,360
customers are falling into and you’re
51
00:02:07,899 –> 00:02:12,940
not solving those problems that’s great
52
00:02:10,360 –> 00:02:14,200
um but you can also still dress it up
53
00:02:12,940 –> 00:02:15,550
you know there’s always something else
54
00:02:14,200 –> 00:02:17,350
that you can dress up to make it look
55
00:02:15,550 –> 00:02:19,690
like hey this was intentional
56
00:02:17,350 –> 00:02:21,579
even if it wasn’t like in my case of my
57
00:02:19,690 –> 00:02:24,40
book onions and to do all the stuff I
58
00:02:21,580 –> 00:02:25,989
did it just kind of came out that way or
59
00:02:24,40 –> 00:02:28,150
in the case of my vegetarian out it just
60
00:02:25,989 –> 00:02:30,370
came out that way over three months of
61
00:02:28,150 –> 00:02:32,230
time it takes time to keep seeing and
62
00:02:30,370 –> 00:02:32,650
making adjustments and tweaks as you go
63
00:02:32,230 –> 00:02:34,840
along
64
00:02:32,650 –> 00:02:37,420

65
00:02:34,840 –> 00:02:40,510

from my camera so yeah just make sure
69
00:02:48,69 –> 00:02:52,30
that when you’re when you’re setting up
70
00:02:50,200 –> 00:02:54,609
your framing that it doesn’t just send
71
00:02:52,30 –> 00:02:57,200
the right message it sends
72
00:02:54,610 –> 00:02:59,360
experiences their people

Filip Valica has been a mechanical engineer and engineering manager for over 12 years, designing, testing, and building products from cradle to grave. He has worked for a broad range of companies – from mom-and-pop small businesses to some of the largest corporations in the US. His hands-on point of view resonates with other action-oriented small business owners and entrepreneurs.
Filip is the founder of The Product Startup, a site that provides a step-by-step blueprint to aspiring product creators wanting to bring their ideas to market. Through interviews with successful small business owners, inventors, and Shark Tank winners, he explores the intersection of his interests and experience: DIY Product Development.
Along with his mother, Filip immigrated to the United States from Czechoslovakia when he was 7 years old with two suitcases and $80 in cash. They left behind all of their family and almost all of their possessions. His journey and success in the United States is proof that it’s possible to create your own luck through hard work. At an early age, he became “man-of the house” and was responsible for home maintenance. After college he pooled his savings, borrowed money from his friends, bought an inhabitable foreclosure and spent 2 years to make it livable.
Filip lives in Houston, TX with his wife and daughter. After his daughter was born, he realized that he needed to focus on his passion and The Product Startup launched soon after. He believes anyone can develop a product using recent advances in technology and tools, and by following the same road map many other companies use to commercialize their ideas. On his podcast, Filip interviews other founders and shows listeners a how they can built their products, brands, and companies on a tight budget.

people who live their dreams every

00:00:13,920 –> 00:00:21,300
the minute I mean I’m living it right
8
00:00:15,960 –> 00:00:23,640
now so today I want to talk about people
9
00:00:21,300 –> 00:00:26,340
that are fake and not just people that
10
00:00:23,640 –> 00:00:28,800
are fake but people that are faking it
11
00:00:26,340 –> 00:00:30,420
they want you to believe that they got
12
00:00:28,800 –> 00:00:31,710
all the answers and everything and are
13
00:00:30,420 –> 00:00:34,620
not learning because they are the
14
00:00:31,710 –> 00:00:36,870
masters at everything they are and
15
00:00:34,620 –> 00:00:39,510
experts if you will
16
00:00:36,870 –> 00:00:40,860
I want to call attention to somebody who
17
00:00:39,510 –> 00:00:42,239
everybody thought was an expert but
18
00:00:40,860 –> 00:00:44,640
turned out not to be an expert is
19
00:00:42,239 –> 00:00:46,260
actually contours burning Matt off
20
00:00:44,640 –> 00:00:49,79
yes if you don’t know who that is go
21
00:00:46,260 –> 00:00:55,739
Look them up there’s a great awesome
22
00:00:49,79 –> 00:00:57,600
video all about his life and the light
23
00:00:55,739 –> 00:00:59,699
Like the heel and how he got to the
24
00:00:57,600 –> 00:01:02,250
point where he was faking it till we
25
00:00:59,699 –> 00:01:04,470
made it and then continue to bake it and
26
00:01:02,250 –> 00:01:06,990
skimmed a ton of people out of money
27
00:01:04,470 –> 00:01:10,380
Through his Ponzi scheme
28
00:01:06,990 –> 00:01:12,449
anyway you know I just want you to be
29
00:01:10,380 –> 00:01:14,39
leery I want you to do the research that
30
00:01:12,450 –> 00:01:17,220
if it sounds too good to be true it
31
00:01:14,40 –> 00:01:19,259
probably is not trueor they’re just a
32
00:01:17,220 –> 00:01:21,150
very big caveat that you just haven’t
33
00:01:19,259 –> 00:01:23,159
taken into consideration yet or haven’t
34
00:01:21,150 –> 00:01:25,350
heard about yetso I want you to take
35
00:01:23,159 –> 00:01:27,360
all that into consideration when trying
36
00:01:25,350 –> 00:01:29,880
to think about whether or not you should
37
00:01:27,360 –> 00:01:31,799
believe that somebody is doing better
38
00:01:29,880 –> 00:01:38,189
than everybody else can i hit my
39
00:01:31,799 –> 00:01:40,590
turntable over here anyway I you know a
40
00:01:38,189 –> 00:01:42,779
lot of people will have full front they
41
00:01:40,590 –> 00:01:45,180
you know the word front put out this
42
00:01:42,780 –> 00:01:46,799
this awesome lifestyle that they’re
43
00:01:45,180 –> 00:01:48,149
living this great i’ll leave me on
44
00:01:46,799 –> 00:01:51,420
instagram and I’m doing this I’m doing
45
00:01:48,149 –> 00:01:53,369
that it’s all great all the time but the
46
00:01:51,420 –> 00:01:55,740
truth of the matter is it’s probably not
47
00:01:53,369 –> 00:01:57,869
and you need to not compare yourself to
48
00:01:55,740 –> 00:01:59,610
what it is that they’re doing
49
00:01:57,869 –> 00:02:02,640
it’s really easy to get caught up in
50
00:01:59,610 –> 00:02:04,170
that and I don’t blame you i want to
51
00:02:02,640 –> 00:02:08,878
in fact i’ve gotten caught up in that
52
00:02:04,170 –> 00:02:10,649
myself and it’s so bad for you for me
53
00:02:08,878 –> 00:02:12,720
for everybody because then we just
54
00:02:10,649 –> 00:02:13,710
create this you know keeping up with
55
00:02:12,720 –> 00:02:16,500
somebody else
56
00:02:13,710 –> 00:02:17,880
and you gotta live your life you’re
57
00:02:16,500 –> 00:02:19,110
right where you’re supposed to be when
58
00:02:17,880 –> 00:02:21,30
you’re supposed to be there as long as
59
00:02:19,110 –> 00:02:24,630
you put together that game plan that
60
00:02:21,30 –> 00:02:27,570
number one thing that makes you go and
61
00:02:24,630 –> 00:02:29,400
drive and feel like you’re alive and I
62
00:02:27,570 –> 00:02:34,19
meanryanair but it just kind of comes
63
00:02:29,400 –> 00:02:36,510
out sometimes like that anyway I really
64
00:02:34,20 –> 00:02:39,210
really want you to take some time today
65
00:02:36,510 –> 00:02:41,670
to to go and think about the people that
66
00:02:39,210 –> 00:02:44,730
you follow the people that you’re like
67
00:02:41,670 –> 00:02:46,380
oh man that person is amazing and the
68
00:02:44,730 –> 00:02:48,149
you know you see them on facebook
69
00:02:46,380 –> 00:02:50,40
whether it’s a celebrity or or not a
70
00:02:48,150 –> 00:02:50,820
celebrity but even the celebrities are
71
00:02:50,40 –> 00:02:52,290
faking it
72
00:02:50,820 –> 00:02:54,420
you know they’re running those cars
73
00:02:52,290 –> 00:02:56,820
they’re doing things that make it look
74
00:02:54,420 –> 00:02:59,160
like they had this big grandiose thing
75
00:02:56,820 –> 00:03:04,19

76
00:02:59,160 –> 00:03:05,880

Episode 260
]]>Today I talk about the difficult time I had finding and figuring out how to listen to my inner voice. I struggled for nearly a year talking with a therapist looking for validation and permission. Finally, I figured out that I needed to search harder within myself and listen to my inner voice. That was when everything started to change for me, very rapidly and eventually it has gotten much easier!
Also, shout out to my man Eric P. Thomas (former guest on Dreamers Podcast) for the awesome shirt I am rocking today! Check out his company!

about a year of going to therapy to
7
00:00:18,900 –> 00:00:24,299
figure out and the whole time the answer
8
00:00:21,779 –> 00:00:25,830
was right in front of me so leading up
9
00:00:24,300 –> 00:00:27,779

00:00:27,779 –> 00:00:34,739
to a therapist I was coming week after
12
00:00:30,630 –> 00:00:37,500
week after week for an entire year and
13
00:00:34,739 –> 00:00:40,440

14
00:00:37,500 –> 00:00:42,510
working you know the things that weren’t
15
00:00:40,440 –> 00:00:45,390

with the reactions i was getting from
17
00:00:45,390 –> 00:00:50,460
both some of the employees family and
18
00:00:48,360 –> 00:00:52,79
everything and I was just I was ready to
19
00:00:50,460 –> 00:00:55,379
give up and be fed I was fed up with the
20
00:00:52,79 –> 00:00:57,840
whole situation and I had a therapist
21
00:00:55,379 –> 00:00:59,910
that refused to tell me that it was ok
22
00:00:57,840 –> 00:01:01,800
leave he was not willing to give me that
23
00:00:59,910 –> 00:01:03,629
permission and i wrote about this in my
24
00:01:01,800 –> 00:01:05,548
book 31like changing concepts is that
25
00:01:03,629 –> 00:01:08,9
you don’t need permission from anyone
26
00:01:05,549 –> 00:01:12,479
except yourself to do things that is
27
00:01:08,10 –> 00:01:15,450
that you you you and you want to do
28
00:01:12,479 –> 00:01:19,710
me myself and I he has tagged me myself
29
00:01:15,450 –> 00:01:22,80
and I radio South Anthony days I she
30
00:01:19,710 –> 00:01:23,309
totally permission to give yourself our
31
00:01:22,80 –> 00:01:24,899
provision for anyone else to give
32
00:01:23,310 –> 00:01:27,180
yourself permission to do things that it
33
00:01:24,900 –> 00:01:30,689
is that you want to do and that you feel
34
00:01:27,180 –> 00:01:33,60
is right for you so it took me a year to
35
00:01:30,689 –> 00:01:34,710
figure out the finally give myself that
36
00:01:33,60 –> 00:01:35,640
permission to say you know what enough
37
00:01:34,710 –> 00:01:38,39
is enough
38
00:01:35,640 –> 00:01:39,540
I’m ready to move on and I i need to
39
00:01:38,40 –> 00:01:41,70
leave i need to go do something else in
40
00:01:39,540 –> 00:01:42,810
my life I don’t know what that is yet
41
00:01:41,70 –> 00:01:44,460
but I’m gonna figure it out i started
42
00:01:42,810 –> 00:01:48,869
down that path i started going back to
43
00:01:44,460 –> 00:01:50,9
school to work on getting my associates
44
00:01:48,869 –> 00:01:52,140
associates
45
00:01:50,9 –> 00:01:55,350
yeah associate’s degree in business
46
00:01:52,140 –> 00:01:58,560
management which wound up going for a
47
00:01:55,350 –> 00:02:00,689
little while for almost two years doing
48
00:01:58,560 –> 00:02:01,970
a bunch of courses to get some work done
49
00:02:00,689 –> 00:02:03,649
on that on
50
00:02:01,970 –> 00:02:05,690
degree and ultimately decided that
51
00:02:03,650 –> 00:02:07,460
wasn’t necessarily going to help me go
52
00:02:05,690 –> 00:02:10,910
where I wanted to go into things that I
53
00:02:07,460 –> 00:02:14,209
wanted to do so yeah I i really think
54
00:02:10,910 –> 00:02:17,210
that you need to be able to listen to
55
00:02:14,210 –> 00:02:21,200
your inner voice and then you you need
56
00:02:17,210 –> 00:02:23,540
to identify what is really really want
57
00:02:21,200 –> 00:02:26,209
out of what it’s telling you to do and
58
00:02:23,540 –> 00:02:28,940
then you can move on to amplify that
59
00:02:26,210 –> 00:02:30,650
message to yourself so you have the
60
00:02:28,940 –> 00:02:33,50
courage and you give yourself permission
61
00:02:30,650 –> 00:02:36,290
to go into the things that is that you
62
00:02:33,50 –> 00:02:37,520
want to do it’s so so important for you
63
00:02:36,290 –> 00:02:39,890
to be happy
64
00:02:37,520 –> 00:02:41,480
I you know some people say don’t follow
65
00:02:39,890 –> 00:02:43,160
your passion because that’s not gonna
66
00:02:41,480 –> 00:02:44,690
leave you the money but before you even
67
00:02:43,160 –> 00:02:46,10
think about money before you even think
68
00:02:44,690 –> 00:02:47,450
about any of that stuff
69
00:02:46,10 –> 00:02:48,950
think about yourself and the things that
70
00:02:47,450 –> 00:02:50,720
is that you want and the things that
71
00:02:48,950 –> 00:02:53,570
you’re doing in your life that are
72
00:02:50,720 –> 00:02:56,90
already making it miserable for you so
73
00:02:53,570 –> 00:02:57,680
you can start to make it better and it
74
00:02:56,90 –> 00:02:59,000
when it’s better for you it’s better for
75
00:02:57,680 –> 00:03:01,250
everyone else that was better for my
76
00:02:59,000 –> 00:03:04,70
wife and it was it ultimately has been
77
00:03:01,250 –> 00:03:07,310
better for everybody i know that i’m
78
00:03:04,70 –> 00:03:10,880
happier person in society and doing the
79
00:03:07,310 –> 00:03:13,190
things that it is that I love so listen
80
00:03:10,880 –> 00:03:15,260
to your inner voice amplified message to
81
00:03:13,190 –> 00:03:16,970
yourself and then start to make a game
82
00:03:15,260 –> 00:03:19,670
plan and go from there and you can even
83
00:03:16,970 –> 00:03:21,500
use the college ring book that I bro I
84
00:03:19,670 –> 00:03:23,660
as a game plan
85
00:03:21,500 –> 00:03:26,239
you know as a framework to build your
86
00:03:23,660 –> 00:03:28,549
game plan to move on and figure out what
87
00:03:26,239 –> 00:03:30,980
it is that you want to do with your life
88
00:03:28,550 –> 00:03:33,350

week ahead
At 16, I felt like I was stuck in a rut – going through the motions of school everyday, just because it was what people expected me to do and what everyone else did. So I left school. I had no network and no idea what I would do. I just knew I had to do something different, and start living life on my terms. It was extremely scary. But I did it anyway. I took one small step at a time, and I managed to overcome those fears. And I’m pretty happy with the results.
Some of the things I’ve done since then that I’ve most proud of include:
– Completing a virtual internship with Seth Godin
– Being one of the first 100 graduates of Seth Godin’s altMBA program
– Traveling to 10 countries in two years
– Playing in professional poker tournaments against some of my favorite celebrity players
– Co-organizing the Social Media Breakfast | Singapore
– Participating in the StartupBus 2011
– Contributing to the Age of Conversation 2
– Starting Thousand True Fans, a marketing agency where we worked with brands like QuickBooks Asia and ONI Global
I’m a huge believer in pursuing your passions, and going after the life that you love. And I want to inspire and help others to do just that. So now, I run PassionBlueprint – a podcast featuring amazing people who have taken the step out to pursue their passions. They share the blueprint they used to take that step out – how they overcame the fears they faced, the first steps they took, the lessons they learned – to show others how they can do the same for themselves.

]]>Today Ava and I break down why we’re all babies when it comes to learning the things that we want to do. No one is going to tell a baby to stop looking at their hands to figure out how to use them better. Don’t be afraid to learn like a baby when it comes to your hobbies, businesses and life in general. Remember, we’re all babies so we need to own it.

Play that’s awesome thank you for
10
00:00:24,930 –> 00:00:30,240
joining us this week I want to talk
11
00:00:27,150 –> 00:00:32,519
about not being the first to do
12
00:00:30,240 –> 00:00:35,460
something now iíve talked about this
13
00:00:32,520 –> 00:00:37,950
previously on an episode of One i think
14
00:00:35,460 –> 00:00:39,629
one of the pre-show episode or pre shows
15
00:00:37,950 –> 00:00:42,59
on one of the episodes of the Dreamers
16
00:00:39,629 –> 00:00:44,460
podcast before but i think it’s so worth
17
00:00:42,59 –> 00:00:46,500
mentioning again about the idea
18
00:00:44,460 –> 00:00:49,110
especially since I gotta hear you know
19
00:00:46,500 –> 00:00:50,460
when i’m watching her grow up and I see
20
00:00:49,110 –> 00:00:52,79
her and she’ll do this thing where
21
00:00:50,460 –> 00:00:53,610
she’ll like put her hand out in front of
22
00:00:52,79 –> 00:00:59,430
her face and she will stare at it for
23
00:00:53,610 –> 00:01:00,840
four seconds at a time you know I want
24
00:00:59,430 –> 00:01:02,940
you to take that lesson because I know
25
00:01:00,840 –> 00:01:06,869
that it’s really resonated with me
26
00:01:02,940 –> 00:01:09,179
about the idea that we don’t have to be
27
00:01:06,869 –> 00:01:11,70
the first to do something no one’s gonna
28
00:01:09,180 –> 00:01:12,330
turn to Ava and say oh don’t bother
29
00:01:11,70 –> 00:01:15,270
using your hands
30
00:01:12,330 –> 00:01:17,548
we’ve already figured that out this or
31
00:01:15,270 –> 00:01:21,210
or crawling everybody else can do that
32
00:01:17,549 –> 00:01:24,150
so you don’t don’t bother or are growing
33
00:01:21,210 –> 00:01:26,699
hair she’s slowly but surely growing
34
00:01:24,150 –> 00:01:29,310
some hair even though in the back
35
00:01:26,700 –> 00:01:30,630
she’s got the party mullet going on
36
00:01:29,310 –> 00:01:32,100
there you know
37
00:01:30,630 –> 00:01:34,48
don’t bother growing Harry of a it’s
38
00:01:32,100 –> 00:01:36,419
okay we’ve already mastered that except
39
00:01:34,49 –> 00:01:40,350
for me because I’m losing all kinds of
40
00:01:36,420 –> 00:01:42,509
hair up top but I so I want you as a as
41
00:01:40,350 –> 00:01:44,429
an entrepreneur as somebody who’s trying
42
00:01:42,509 –> 00:01:45,750
to you know accomplish things to
43
00:01:44,430 –> 00:01:48,780
remember that you don’t have to be the
44
00:01:45,750 –> 00:01:51,840
first or necessarily even the best at
45
00:01:48,780 –> 00:01:52,350
any one particular thing to to move
46
00:01:51,840 –> 00:01:53,939
forward
47
00:01:52,350 –> 00:01:55,710
I we as babies have to figure out
48
00:01:53,939 –> 00:01:58,139
everything as we go along because
49
00:01:55,710 –> 00:02:01,229
everything is new to us just like when
50
00:01:58,140 –> 00:02:03,659
we pick up a new skill or a new hobby or
51
00:02:01,229 –> 00:02:06,780
a new business that we want to start and
52
00:02:03,659 –> 00:02:11,190
we can really go from there trying to
53
00:02:06,780 –> 00:02:13,830
understand and control our universe as
54
00:02:11,190 –> 00:02:16,260
humans tries to do when she
55
00:02:13,830 –> 00:02:19,260
is looking at her hand figuring out how
56
00:02:16,260 –> 00:02:20,820
she can manipulate it and do things or
57
00:02:19,260 –> 00:02:24,60
in the case of what she did just the
58
00:02:20,820 –> 00:02:26,310
other day say her first words which was
59
00:02:24,60 –> 00:02:28,110
bad that if you follow me on Facebook
60
00:02:26,310 –> 00:02:29,550
thing you probably saw that and she’s
61
00:02:28,110 –> 00:02:31,470
trying to get it out right now she’s
62
00:02:29,550 –> 00:02:35,10
trying to get all the words out right
63
00:02:31,470 –> 00:02:39,30
now so without leave
64
00:02:35,10 –> 00:02:41,670
no I guess not
65
00:02:39,30 –> 00:02:43,560
not right now okay so I you know I
66
00:02:41,670 –> 00:02:45,600
really want you two to take into
67
00:02:43,560 –> 00:02:46,980
consideration that you’re not
68
00:02:45,600 –> 00:02:49,170
necessarily going to be the first to do
69
00:02:46,980 –> 00:02:50,910
something and that’s ok you know just
70
00:02:49,170 –> 00:02:52,320
because somebody else does it or does it
71
00:02:50,910 –> 00:02:54,60
maybe even better than you do at the
72
00:02:52,320 –> 00:02:56,790
moment doesn’t mean that you can’t get
73
00:02:54,60 –> 00:02:58,140
better so also stopped trying to compare
74
00:02:56,790 –> 00:03:00,780
yourself to what everybody else is doing
75
00:02:58,140 –> 00:03:02,670
because it does getting your head and
76
00:03:00,780 –> 00:03:04,680
they can actually slow you down
77
00:03:02,670 –> 00:03:06,720
I was watching a video that was shared
78
00:03:04,680 –> 00:03:09,810
were a whole bunch of people apparently
79
00:03:06,720 –> 00:03:12,30
decided to race a tortoise and a rabbit
80
00:03:09,810 –> 00:03:15,660
tortoise and the hare story and the
81
00:03:12,30 –> 00:03:18,600
tortoise actually won by almost half the
82
00:03:15,660 –> 00:03:21,150
distance that they that they raced they
83
00:03:18,600 –> 00:03:23,970
set up like little i guess like would
84
00:03:21,150 –> 00:03:25,800
like a Raceway and then the tortoise
85
00:03:23,970 –> 00:03:28,950
just kept going very slowly very
86
00:03:25,800 –> 00:03:30,870
steadily but kept moving forward versus
87
00:03:28,950 –> 00:03:33,540
the the rabbit which ran about halfway
88
00:03:30,870 –> 00:03:35,820
stopped and just like took in the sights
89
00:03:33,540 –> 00:03:37,380
which hey there’s always always good
90
00:03:35,820 –> 00:03:39,329
taking the sites but if you think
91
00:03:37,380 –> 00:03:41,910
because you’re faster better or some
92
00:03:39,330 –> 00:03:44,100
something that effect than every anybody
93
00:03:41,910 –> 00:03:46,290
and everybody else then you’re gonna
94
00:03:44,100 –> 00:03:50,70
wind up missing out on winning the race
95
00:03:46,290 –> 00:03:51,959
as as that happy really did which is
96
00:03:50,70 –> 00:03:55,140
pretty incredible actually
97
00:03:51,959 –> 00:03:57,840
so yeah just remember it’s it’s not
98
00:03:55,140 –> 00:03:59,880
about being the first or the best but
99
00:03:57,840 –> 00:04:02,610
budget making progress and every bit of
100
00:03:59,880 –> 00:04:05,850
progress really really counts ok even
101
00:04:02,610 –> 00:04:07,470

Episode 256
]]>Today I talk about the time I was told to quit trying to living my dream, right to my face! It was a difficult time in my life, and felt like I was being kicked while trying to get up on my feet. It turns out that at the time I was getting mad and upset and just needed to spin the situation into a different light to give me the confidence to power through the negativity.

Episode 255
2
00:00:00 –> 00:00:06
welcome everybody to the dreamers
3
00:00:06 –> 00:00:11
podcast I'm your host Joe Pardo this is
4
00:00:11 –> 00:00:16
my co-host Ava grace and she seems
5
00:00:16 –> 00:00:22
quite happy this morning I gotta say
6
00:00:22 –> 00:00:29
after having her nap and her and and her
7
00:00:29 –> 00:00:35
walk that we went on today's topic I
8
00:00:35 –> 00:00:42
want to talk about the a time that I got
9
00:00:42 –> 00:00:48
told to my eyes eyeballs the eyeballs to
10
00:00:48 –> 00:00:53
quit when I was going or about to do
11
00:00:53 –> 00:00:58
when faced with starting the dreamers
12
00:00:58 –> 00:01:02
podcast and getting started
13
00:01:02 –> 00:01:06
it's something that it's you know it has
14
00:01:06 –> 00:01:10
weight on my mind but it obviously i'm
15
00:01:10 –> 00:01:14
sitting here holding my lovely daughter
16
00:01:14 –> 00:01:18
ava grace and i wouldn't be able to do
17
00:01:18 –> 00:01:23
that if I just gave up and quit like
18
00:01:23 –> 00:01:27
someone told me to do right to my face
19
00:01:27 –> 00:01:32
you know it really waiting on my mind
20
00:01:32 –> 00:01:37
for quite awhile there when it happened
21
00:01:37 –> 00:01:41
it happened like right after I was just
22
00:01:41 –> 00:01:44
getting started
23
00:01:44 –> 00:01:50
I'm so like a little over two years ago
24
00:01:50 –> 00:01:56
and it was like it was kind of took me
25
00:01:56 –> 00:02:02
back a little bit so I'm like hey you
26
00:02:02 –> 00:02:08
know I'm i know what i'm doing i have
27
00:02:08 –> 00:02:12
this uh all this experience and in
28
00:02:12 –> 00:02:15
business and I understand where i'm
29
00:02:15 –> 00:02:19
coming from as far as like what I'm
30
00:02:19 –> 00:02:23
leaving and when i'm giving up because
31
00:02:23 –> 00:02:28
I've I gave it three years of thinking
32
00:02:28 –> 00:02:33
before I decided to give all that life
33
00:02:33 –> 00:02:38
up to do my own thing and here i am
34
00:02:38 –> 00:02:44
two-and-a-half years later doing it so
35
00:02:44 –> 00:02:53
you know when have you got to remember
36
00:02:53 –> 00:03:00
sometimes people really love you I and
37
00:03:00 –> 00:03:03
they want the best for you and they
38
00:03:03 –> 00:03:07
think they know what the best is for you
39
00:03:07 –> 00:03:11
even though they don't really know the
40
00:03:11 –> 00:03:15
situation or what they're what they're
41
00:03:15 –> 00:03:19
talking about because maybe they don't
42
00:03:19 –> 00:03:23
even have an experience that that gets
43
00:03:23 –> 00:03:26
them there or maybe they're just jealous
44
00:03:26 –> 00:03:31
because they gave up on their own dreams
45
00:03:31 –> 00:03:37
and you know they're dirges quitters or
46
00:03:37 –> 00:03:41
in some cases haters but but a lot of
47
00:03:41 –> 00:03:45
cases it's because people you know they
48
00:03:45 –> 00:03:49
they want to show their their love and
49
00:03:49 –> 00:03:53
compassion for you and they don't want
50
00:03:53 –> 00:03:56
to see struggle or whatever it is but
51
00:03:56 –> 00:04:00
you know what
52
00:04:00 –> 00:04:06
it's it's tough to hear it
53
00:04:06 –> 00:04:11
uh and and I didn't want to hear it was
54
00:04:11 –> 00:04:15
not obviously they want to hear because
55
00:04:15 –> 00:04:22
i'm here today to talk you know I
56
00:04:22 –> 00:04:28
survived all that so I you know that's
57
00:04:28 –> 00:04:34
why one of the reasons why I go really
58
00:04:34 –> 00:04:41
hard at the idea that i want you to take
59
00:04:41 –> 00:04:47
that step back and realize what it is
60
00:04:47 –> 00:04:52
that you want to do with your life and
61
00:04:52 –> 00:04:56
and do the research before you start
62
00:04:56 –> 00:04:59
making all these ideas like oh well this
63
00:04:59 –> 00:05:03
is gonna work and that's going to work
64
00:05:03 –> 00:05:09
you know really a way your your your
65
00:05:09 –> 00:05:13
strength of what you're great at and
66
00:05:13 –> 00:05:16
what you could be better at or what you
67
00:05:16 –> 00:05:20
can get someone else to help you do on
68
00:05:20 –> 00:05:24
that journey and and then go for it you
69
00:05:24 –> 00:05:28
know do that continue to do the research
70
00:05:28 –> 00:05:32
continue to learn continue that not just
71
00:05:32 –> 00:05:35
have the experiences and do it but the
72
00:05:35 –> 00:05:39
learn from those experiences and get
73
00:05:39 –> 00:05:44
better at the things that you want to do

Episode 253
1
00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:06,29
welcome everybody to the dreamers
podcast I’m your host Joe Pardo and this
2
00:00:06,29 –> 00:00:12,179
is little ava grace right here joining
me here on the YouTube channel for the
3
00:00:12,179 –> 00:00:17,220
Germans podcast that superhero party .
com / to go like and subscribe if you’re
4
00:00:17,220 –> 00:00:22,890
enjoying all the great content that I’ve
been putting out here so today on this
5
00:00:22,890 –> 00:00:28,410
friday September the 30th I want to talk
about how much income do you really need
6
00:00:28,410 –> 00:00:31,800
to survive how much do you need
7
00:00:31,800 –> 00:00:37,200
what expectations do you have as far as
what you want to have in life and then
8
00:00:37,200 –> 00:00:39,660
setting goals to make that happen
9
00:00:39,660 –> 00:00:42,989
the reason I talked about this is
because I recently just did this with
10
00:00:42,989 –> 00:00:49,230
with my finances here at that the part
of household and figured out that there
11
00:00:49,230 –> 00:00:55,260
was quite a bit of money being spent in
ways that we weren’t actually in sure of
12
00:00:55,260 –> 00:00:56,969
where the money was going
13
00:00:56,969 –> 00:01:04,680
a in threeso so to me there’s a there’s
really good way to understand how much
14
00:01:04,680 –> 00:01:09,479
money that you need if your if your
immediate answer is more than you’re
15
00:01:09,479 –> 00:01:14,39
doing it wrong and you know that’s just
the easiest possible ways how much money
16
00:01:14,40 –> 00:01:19,860
do i need more always more and never
less or being able to save even more
17
00:01:19,860 –> 00:01:25,320
than if you if you made more money and
and just knew how much it is that you
18
00:01:25,320 –> 00:01:31,258
actually were spending per per week per
month per year on you and you don’t have
19
00:01:31,259 –> 00:01:35,130
to get super super granular to get that
kind of an answer police if you have a
20
00:01:35,130 –> 00:01:39,839
basis of light your basic bills on and
then your basic credit like your credit
21
00:01:39,840 –> 00:01:43,530
card bill like your bills that like to
keep your house and our or apartment or
22
00:01:43,530 –> 00:01:45,750
whatever going or your business going
23
00:01:45,750 –> 00:01:49,229
but then your credit bills as well
24
00:01:49,229 –> 00:01:55,799
figuring all that in and and just like
how like your car so actually me
25
00:01:55,799 –> 00:02:01,740
personally i’ll be having a huge you
know payday coming up when I am able to
26
00:02:01,740 –> 00:02:07,710
get rid of my car in the near future i
have a $OPERAND w VW TDI which is the
27
00:02:07,710 –> 00:02:10,649
turbo turbo diesel and as you may or may
not know
28
00:02:10,649 –> 00:02:13,10
volkswagen got caught cheating or
29
00:02:13,10 –> 00:02:16,939
with their diesel engines so now they’re
paying the price about having the
30
00:02:16,939 –> 00:02:21,49
buyback these cars or give a
compensation to the owners of those cars
31
00:02:21,49 –> 00:02:27,680
so by doing so I’m going to be
alleviating a five-hundred-dollar per
32
00:02:27,680 –> 00:02:33,110
month a bill that i was paying for a car
that I barely get to use at this point
33
00:02:33,110 –> 00:02:36,980
because I’m home every day with this
little girl right here
34
00:02:36,980 –> 00:02:44,480
yes this one this one right here with
the principal cheeks arm anyway I so I’m
35
00:02:44,480 –> 00:02:47,690
really looking forward to that looks
like i’ll be able to get rid of my car
36
00:02:47,690 –> 00:02:52,579
in december and then i’m going to decide
if i need another car or if i’m going to
37
00:02:52,579 –> 00:02:58,909
hold off and just kind of deal with the
the once in a blue moon that I actually
38
00:02:58,909 –> 00:03:00,709
need a second car
39
00:03:00,709 –> 00:03:04,220
Omarion I guess I’m boring her so we’ll
wrap this up pretty quick
40
00:03:04,819 –> 00:03:08,958
the answer is not more you need to know
how much income that you actually need
41
00:03:08,959 –> 00:03:13,99
and then you can figure out where all
the rest of the money is going as well
42
00:03:13,99 –> 00:03:17,720
as setting the needs that you have that
you want to keep so you have
43
00:03:17,720 –> 00:03:23,389
expectations and then setting goals to
make those expectations or reality if

Episode 252
]]>On this week’s mini episode I talk about how to deal with negative feedback. It may seem obvious, but not everyone out there is a “hater”. You have to remember that other people have different perspectives than you do, and may be more critical about certain things than others.

Episode 251
1
00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:08,220
welcome everybody to the dreamers
podcast I’m the host Joe part oh this is
2
00:00:08,220 –> 00:00:15,89
my co-host David grace right here
snapping away at her lips because she’s
3
00:00:15,89 –> 00:00:21,000
teething so this week on the dreamers
podcast i want to talk about listening
4
00:00:21,000 –> 00:00:27,119
to criticism and and actually talk about
an experience that I just had that
5
00:00:27,119 –> 00:00:30,000
actually turned out to be a really
positive experience might actually have
6
00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:36,360
some notes right here on this notebook
right over there because I wasn’t afraid
7
00:00:36,360 –> 00:00:42,329
to take on some negative criticism about
my conference that I just held here in
8
00:00:42,329 –> 00:00:46,920
South Jersey its mid-atlantic
podcast.com go check it out we just
9
00:00:46,920 –> 00:00:50,879
holding the virtual ticket for a hundred
bucks you can watch every session and
10
00:00:50,879 –> 00:00:53,968
you get the audio and all that but
anyway that’s not the point the point is
11
00:00:53,969 –> 00:01:00,420
is at there was somebody who had a less
than favorable opinion of some of the
12
00:01:00,420 –> 00:01:05,220
things that we did at the conference and
you know what a lot of times people
13
00:01:05,220 –> 00:01:07,890
don’t want to listen to
14
00:01:07,890 –> 00:01:11,850
I to any kind of criticism they you know
I were so many people saying oh my god I
15
00:01:11,850 –> 00:01:13,470
love this is amazing
16
00:01:13,470 –> 00:01:15,720
we had such a great time at your
conference I can’t wait to come back
17
00:01:15,720 –> 00:01:18,60
next year i already bought tickets for
next year
18
00:01:18,60 –> 00:01:22,770
let’s do this it’s gonna be awesome and
all of that but sometimes people that
19
00:01:22,770 –> 00:01:28,289
that didn’t get everything and what we
need to understand we’re working uh you
20
00:01:28,290 –> 00:01:32,880
know serving other people or offering a
product or something like that what we
21
00:01:32,880 –> 00:01:39,179
need to do is we need to be able to
listen to the people who have something
22
00:01:39,180 –> 00:01:43,79
to say and if you’re fortunate enough
for them to actually want to come and
23
00:01:43,79 –> 00:01:47,39
say something to you about it and you
know whether it’s in person or or at
24
00:01:47,40 –> 00:01:49,649
least in an email or survey or something
like that
25
00:01:49,649 –> 00:01:53,369
there’s so much that you can learn right
so you won’t learn anything if you just
26
00:01:53,369 –> 00:01:56,820
take all the great the great stuff with
yall wonderful like here let me just Pat
27
00:01:56,820 –> 00:02:01,889
myself on the back a little pat you on
the back to the Burt no I guess not
28
00:02:01,890 –> 00:02:07,49
ok so I and I had ended up having this
really awesome conversation learning so
29
00:02:07,49 –> 00:02:11,910
many things from a perspective that was
radically different than every other
30
00:02:11,910 –> 00:02:13,190
person
31
00:02:13,190 –> 00:02:18,320
I had talked to about the conference so
I i just want to really put out and
32
00:02:18,320 –> 00:02:24,560
emphasize that if you are willing to
listen and if you’re willing to you know
33
00:02:24,560 –> 00:02:29,900
reach out to people that give you that
feedback you can learn and when you
34
00:02:29,900 –> 00:02:30,560
learn
35
00:02:30,560 –> 00:02:34,610
everybody wins and that’s really all I
wanted to be able to do so that’s why I
36
00:02:34,610 –> 00:02:39,80
when I put my arm survey out i was
asking for people to leave their names
37
00:02:39,80 –> 00:02:43,250
so that i could contact them so i can
reach out to them to make it better so
38
00:02:43,250 –> 00:02:46,880
that next year could be better Ava for
you because you’ll be running around
39
00:02:46,880 –> 00:02:51,290
next year at the conference bugging
everybody while they’re trying to do
40
00:02:51,290 –> 00:02:56,299
things well maybe what we’ll see maybe
maybe only be there for lunch time or
41
00:02:56,300 –> 00:02:57,920
something running around
42
00:02:57,920 –> 00:03:01,130
yeah just lunchtime well she’s already
smiling and ready to eat
43
00:03:01,640 –> 00:03:06,739
ok so I this yeah listen to to your
customer base
44
00:03:07,250 –> 00:03:10,790
listen to the people that are willing to

Episode 250
]]>In business it can be hard to see how all of the little wins add up to big wins. I want you to stop treadmilling on zero with your business and add up all of the sales and wins that you’ve had for the calendar year. So when someone stops you and asks how it is going, you KNOW how it is going. You are left guessing, leaving doubt in the other person’s mind that you know what you are doing. It can hurt your thought process too if you constantly feel like you aren’t making money or enough money. Stop looking for that home run when it comes to sales and success (whatever success looks like to you). I will talk about success in an upcoming episode!
On a side note, I hope you are all enjoying these mini episodes that I am publishing to YouTube. Please let me know what you think in the comments or shoot me an email. 🙂
Have a magical weekend!

Episode 249
1
00:00:00,380 –> 00:00:08,570
everybody i think i just started Ava I’m
Joe Pardo and this is ava and today I
2
00:00:08,570 –> 00:00:15,349
want to talk about tread milling on 0
and what I mean by that is if you’re in
3
00:00:15,349 –> 00:00:18,890
a business you’re trying to start a
business or you’re just
4
00:00:19,429 –> 00:00:22,819
hey my trying to run i’m trying to sell
these books or I’m trying to sell these
5
00:00:22,819 –> 00:00:28,849
products and you get in the mindset of
like and I’ve been there of like I’m
6
00:00:28,849 –> 00:00:34,490
treadmill 10 i’m not making any money
even though I you you something we’re
7
00:00:34,490 –> 00:00:38,750
going through these ups and downs like
hey I’m selling a book i think of books
8
00:00:38,750 –> 00:00:41,570
a great example because when you’re
selling the server like you’re some
9
00:00:41,570 –> 00:00:45,800
really really expensive services
sometimes it’s it’s like hey well it’s a
10
00:00:45,800 –> 00:00:49,970
thousand-dollar service well that’s a
thousand dollars that’s awesome but if
11
00:00:49,970 –> 00:00:53,600
you’re looking at it something from like
a book standard words like i’m only
12
00:00:53,600 –> 00:00:58,310
making like three dollars per block or
five dollars per book you know when
13
00:00:58,310 –> 00:01:02,480
you’re when you get lost in the weeds of
everything you’re like oh man at the end
14
00:01:02,480 –> 00:01:06,109
of the year you like I didn’t make any
money and and sometimes it’s because we
15
00:01:06,109 –> 00:01:10,68
have this this idea in our heads that
were we need to make a million dollars
16
00:01:10,69 –> 00:01:14,450
or maybe not a million but like 30,000
40,000 50,000 something that could
17
00:01:14,450 –> 00:01:18,409
replace what our turn jobs or current
positions or whatever we’re currently
18
00:01:18,409 –> 00:01:24,79
doing to bring in money is but we need
to stop treadmilling on 0 because just
19
00:01:24,79 –> 00:01:27,589
because we’re not making that that
number all at once we don’t like to put
20
00:01:27,590 –> 00:01:28,969
this book out BAM
21
00:01:28,969 –> 00:01:32,298
I got hundreds and hundreds of people
downloading this book i’m making three
22
00:01:32,299 –> 00:01:37,340
dollars a person and I’m and I’m ready
to make it all right Ava I’m ready to
23
00:01:37,340 –> 00:01:41,869
make all this money happen i’m gonna
quit my job and quit when i’m doing and
24
00:01:41,869 –> 00:01:45,289
and boom we’re just gonna sell these
books from now on just because that
25
00:01:45,289 –> 00:01:47,389
doesn’t happen overnight
26
00:01:47,389 –> 00:01:51,740
I mean obviously you know success
doesn’t happen overnight but my point is
27
00:01:51,740 –> 00:01:55,818
is that just because you’re not getting
that that instant gratification of like
28
00:01:55,819 –> 00:02:01,99
boom $10,000 20 40 50 a million dollars
able waiver
29
00:02:01,99 –> 00:02:04,909
yeah a million dollars just not getting
that doesn’t mean you’re making zero
30
00:02:04,909 –> 00:02:08,360
dollars so when someone goes and says
hey joe are you making any money doing
31
00:02:08,360 –> 00:02:09,290
what you’re doing
32
00:02:09,289 –> 00:02:13,609
the answer is yes I need to look at how
much it is you don’t always have to know
33
00:02:13,610 –> 00:02:17,480
exactly how much it is especially if
it’s not your only source of income on
34
00:02:17,480 –> 00:02:21,350
but it’s it’s it’s great so at the end
of the year when you look back at it
35
00:02:21,350 –> 00:02:28,579
look at the end of my second while 2015
I looked back and people like Joe did
36
00:02:28,580 –> 00:02:33,830
you make any money and I’m like I don’t
feel like I made any money but i did me
37
00:02:33,830 –> 00:02:35,90
ten grand
38
00:02:35,90 –> 00:02:39,920
that wasn’t there before the fact now
this year I’m gonna make I’m standard
39
00:02:39,920 –> 00:02:44,420
generate a lot more than that like for
three or four times more than that but
40
00:02:44,420 –> 00:02:47,869
it all started with this idea that you
are in your head you’re not making sales
41
00:02:47,870 –> 00:02:48,860
every single day
42
00:02:48,860 –> 00:02:53,510
get off that number 0 get on to the idea
that you are making money and you are
43
00:02:53,510 –> 00:02:55,970
doing what it is that you love to do
44
00:02:55,970 –> 00:03:00,859
how you love to do it and that’s so so
important for happiness right Ava are
45
00:03:00,860 –> 00:03:02,30
you a happy kid
46
00:03:02,30 –> 00:03:07,760
yeah of course she is because she’s
doing what she enjoys and I’m doing what
47
00:03:07,760 –> 00:03:11,000
I’m enjoy and that is what matters the
most
48
00:03:11,600 –> 00:03:17,540
not money it’s time and energy and how
we spend it any way stop tried meddling
49
00:03:17,540 –> 00:03:21,290
on zero figure out what it is if you
haven’t figured out mid-september now
50
00:03:21,290 –> 00:03:25,459
it’s a great top time to at least get an
idea of how much money you’ve made with
51
00:03:25,459 –> 00:03:29,570
your efforts and see if it’s working see
if you need to change course a little
52
00:03:29,570 –> 00:03:33,410
bit or that word that I know Dave
Jackson hates school podcasting calm by
53
00:03:33,410 –> 00:03:40,549
the way pivot but yet maybe you needed
to go change directions or just just a
54
00:03:40,549 –> 00:03:46,280
little bit just how you’re going and
figure figure out that you know what I’m
55
00:03:46,280 –> 00:03:50,690
not traveling on zero i’m actually
making it happen i’m making my dreams
56
00:03:50,690 –> 00:03:52,970

Episode 248
]]>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsbo8AomOO8
I have always tried to stay goal oriented in my work. I set expectations and I don’t always succeed in them. It is those cracks in the pavement that we fall into while on the path to our goals and dreams. Something that has never motivated me is the promise of more money or wealth. Money doesn’t mean anything to me. Sure, I do love technology (since I was very little), I do love music (since I was little), and other things. Most of the fun is in the journey of looking at what to buy, not the fact that I have money to buy something I want.
I’m not saying that everyone should not be motivated by money, like me. But it is so important to know what gets your fire burning to get you moving every morning to make the donuts. I work, to work more. I love to create and be able to express myself in many different mediums and multiple levels. I don’t consider myself an artist, but I do create art in many ways.
Being myself is one of the most important aspects to life. Society starts with you, so if you put yourself in your happy place, then you can make others happy around you. Your impact on this world will be immeasurable!
Right before Ava was about to be born, quite a few people told me that my life would finally have meaning and I would see things differently. Now that I have a daughter and family to support on the things I create, everything would be somehow different. I can say with confidence, while some of my focus has shifted towards spending more time with my wife and our daughter, it has not suddenly given my life meaning. At least not in the way that many seem to think having a baby should, or did for them.
My outlook on how I utilize my time has changed quite a bit in the first six months of her life. I have even opened my eyes to the idea that time is not the only most valuable resource we have, but energy. Limiting my activities so that I can make sure that I have enough sleep to be here for Ava throughout the day and night has been a struggle for to me.
As I’ve said before, as professional entrepreneurs we really are professional problem solvers. It is so important to remember that we don’t have all of the answers, but we need to be willing to learn and grow as we take missteps and fall into those cracks in the sidewalk.
Do what makes you happy, worry about your world and the things that you can control (you are in control of everything in your life!!!) You will find that your motivation to keep pushing forward will come to you over time as you enjoy your journey more.
I want to know how you stay motivated! Leave your stories and tips in the comments below so we can help each other go further in life!

]]>The truth is there are many unknowns in the world and one of them is all the details of the life and times of Adam Brick Guy’s founder, Adam. Sure, he has a few brothers and sisters, parents and grandparents, and a few stories of growing up as both an Aussie and American. All in all, what he was then, is what he is now – passionate about giving back, making a community of do-gooders and of course, showing the economics of it all – the benefits exceed the costs!
Over the years, Adam Brick Guy honed his life dreams into reality, by learning the ways of the Economics and Accounting ninjas at the University of North Texas, he achieved his college degrees. Even continuing his path of enlightenment at Texas A & M University achieving a nirvana (or academically speak for Master of Science) in Accounting. Never shying away from making the world a better place, Adam always gave generously of his time and energies while at school.
Now located in Houston, Adam has made a Texas size home for himself in the hearts of many of his fellow co-workers and friends. By day working for one of the largest oil companies in the world, Adam is surrounded by spreadsheets, reports and other data to make the business side of him quite happy. On the evenings and weekends, when not thinking or working on Adam Brick Guy, mentoring or one of the other thousand things he is involved in locally, he enjoys reading, studying and staying fit. While doing all at the same time isn’t the best idea, Adam finds time to do them separately as well as enjoy trivia nights, dinner out with friends and laughing, mostly at his friends.
For Adam, Adam Brick Guy is more than colorful bricks, it is about where passion meets action. Consciously doing the right thing for at-risk kids with a sound economic plan to make a difference, that is Adam and that is Adam Brick Guy.
“Seeing an entire room of kids having a good time playing with bricks, that’s my perfect moment.” – Adam, founder of Adam Brick Guy

]]>Alex Nemo Hanse is a Full Sail graduate with an Associate of Science in Recording Arts. Prior to receiving a degree from Full Sail University he attended and graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology.
His professional goal is to become a Recording Mixer and Engineer. In the long run he hopes to combine both of his degrees in order to improve the physical and mental health of others.
Being the dreamer that he is, Alex went on to starting a movement that would begin to get others to live out their dreams as well. Through an inspirational clothing line that he created entitled “Foolies” he would use his words along with fashion to empower his friends, family, and many others around him. He believes that if you have a dream you should do all that it takes in order to live out that dream and not be stuck in a situation that makes you unhappy.
He hopes that he can be a light to the world through his actions and all that he is doing in his career.
Alex identifies strongly with the quote by Ghandi, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” This quote is what inspires him to live his life making solutions instead of complaining about what is and isn’t going right in the world.
After losing his mother in the sixth grade due to breast cancer he realized how important life was and he also learned at an early age to value every second we have because you never know when your time will be up. She is the reason for his joy and why he continues to be motivated even through the toughest of times in his life.
Alex knows that he wouldn’t be where he is today without his faith and the many people who have pushed him and cheered him on along the way. He is very thankful for where he is today and hopes that through his actions he will change the world one day, or at least change one person so they can go on to change what he couldn’t!

]]>A backpack, plane ticket and sense of adventure launched my solo trek across South America. That’s how I look at life and my career: the bravery to dream big and motivation to try is all it takes to do something amazing.
My name is Nicole Bogard and 2 years ago more often than not I spent countless hours dreaming about a non 9-5 office life. With graduate school wrapping up and nothing to lose, I took a leap of faith and purchased a one-way ticket bound for Bogotá, Colombia.
7 months | 5 countries | 10.5 bus days later I’ve returned home (United States) and my thirst for the unknown adventures continues to command my thoughts. These thoughts are leading me to explore my own backyard while working on self development and future travel + adventure plans.

]]>Eric Patrick Thomas, a young motivated, ambitious businessman, leads a busy life. As well as the leading force behind “EZ Awareness By Design”, specializing in graphic design, custom apparel, signage, and vinyl banners, he is a public speaker, philanthropist, volunteer and advocate for the disabled. His keen business sense began before the early age of ten when he started renting his Nintendo video games in the neighborhood. Music has always been an influence in Eric’s life from writing to recording his album with the Hip Hop group “Mizcellaneous”. Appreciation and the love of music and photography eventually led Eric to Lansing Community College where he pursued a degree in photography and broadcasting after graduating from Clio High School in 1996.
A random shooting on the fateful night of September 20, 1997 changed Eric’s life forever. A young man with dreams of a career in music or photography learned that life is not always fair. Left paralyzed from the neck down by a bullet to the C3 and C4 vertebrates; Eric spent several months on a ventilator with a halo screwed to his head to support his neck fighting for his life. Upon being released from the hospital Eric spent the next six months in rehabilitation at Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colorado learning to cope with his new circumstances. Doctors recommended an assisted living center after leaving the hospital, but with the support of his family he made the transition from rehabilitation to his mother’s and stepfather’s home. Thanks to the hard work of his stepfather many changes and modifications were made to the home so that Eric could navigate throughout the structure.
With the support of Disability Network, a self-determination living arrangement (SDLA) was developed. Having a SDLA permitted Eric to hire his own staff and set goals and dreams using the person centered plan process, allowing Eric to live independently in his own environment.
Eric’s portfolio resonates with a vast variety of activities from public speaking to managing his graphic design company. His list of charitable works involve everything from Toys for Tots, Relay for Life, Coats For Kids, Food Bank Of Eastern Michigan, American Heart Association, president for the Flint Film Festival, co-founder of Wheels 4 Wheels, local leader for Michigan Partners for Freedom and an ambassador for Danny’s Miracle Angel Network (D-Man).
Eric does not view his life as a burden but it’s an opportunity to help other individuals with disabilities. Some of the most rewarding moments of his life include testifying at both House and Senate hearings at the local, state, and national level, for the advancement of care and rights for people with disabilities. He believes in providing both financial means and access to affordable health care.These things will allow disabled individuals to live independently, and is a motivating factor thatpromotes his voice for those in need.
Eric is not content to simply let the world pass by. He is constantly planning new opportunities that will enrich not only his life but those less fortunate. Goodwill Industries has provided Eric with affordable space for his business EZ Awareness By Design. With the support of Genesee Health System, supportive employment, and a Self Determination Living Arrangement Eric is able to have his own house, own his own business, and access to quality of care that provides him with the independence to be responsible for his own destiny.

]]>Connect with Zephan Moses Blaxberg
Zephan’s new (and first) book was released in January of 2016. After leaving his full-time job with Apple in pursuit of starting a video production company, Zephan quickly found himself working in the White House (with Secret Service clearance) and with companies fe-ke Netflix, Uber, NFL, NHL and NBA. His video work can be seen in sporting venues nationwide but feeling unfulfilled and striving for a greater purpose, his true story starts with a one way ticket.
He taught himself travel hacking and couch surfing to take a few months off from business in 2014 and made it nearly 10,000 miles before deciding to turn back home and share his newfound discoveries with the world. In January 2015, the Year Of Purpose Podcast was born, introducing the millennials to entrepreneurs and thought-provokers from all over the world in hopes of inspiring them to live a life of purpose.
Life Re-Scripted analyses life through the lens of a movie-goer and contemplates re-writing the parts of our script that no longer serve us. From Apple “Genius” to purpose-seeking adventurer, he provides real life examples along with quite a few questions to lead anyone closer to the path of their purpose. Did I mention he’s only 26?
Zephan will be making waves in 2016 and Pat Flynn has interviewed him for the Smart Passive Income show (episode premiering in January).

Matt Marr’s bio:
I have been called the Gay White Oprah. Now I don’t really know about that, but I do love giving a place for people to share their story in the hopes of changing viewers lives for the better. I’m gonna let Oprah do her, and I’ll do me.
I grew in Southern Oklahoma and I just can’t seem to lose the accent. I’m a lover of stories. From my early days of acting, to getting my undergrad in Opera, to getting my Masters in Clinical Psychology and working with clients–stories are my life. If you found me in a breakdown, I’d be this guy:
THE GUY WHO CAN TALK TO ANYONE / HE ALWAYS CALLS YOU “SUGAR”. People open up to him within 2 minutes of meeting him. His ideal night is having a glass of wine and knitting away at a baby blanket while watching old Wonder Woman re-runs, as his dog snores on the other end of the couch. Find him at a comic book store nerding out for hours. Also when he feels fat because he ate his feelings, going to Richard Simmons’ class in Beverly Hills is maybe one of the most joyous things anyone can do on a Saturday morning. He’s won 2 game shows and is kinda charmed that way. Hopeful. Caring. Warm. Great stand-up.

]]>Connect with Danny Flood
Danny Flood spent several years learning everything he could about the location-independent lifestyle: how to travel on any budget, maintain an income while traveling, and start a business from the road.
Danny has started three separate location-independent businesses that he successfully ran remotely from various corners of the globe. He provided digital advertising consulting to clients in the US from Argentina, built a mobile applications company while in Thailand, and created an online membership website while living in Brazil.
At 28, Danny has traveled to over 30 countries on four continents and done and seen many of the things that he wanted to. He has crossed half of Southeast Asia on a motorcycle. He’s rafted down the Amazon and climbed the tallest mountains of South America. He’s rappelled off waterfalls in the jungle and sailed across the South China Sea. He’s tangoed in the darkly-lit halls of San Telmo, Buenos Aires and fought in Thai boxing matches in Bangkok. Through his many adventures around the world, he has been robbed, fallen from bridges and motorbikes, hugged exotic animals, and nearly died several times in pursuit of his dreams.
