How I Landed Rachel Starr, Jordan Harbinger, Evan Carmichael, Dan Lok, and Other Big Names As Guests for the Show

How I Landed Rachel Starr, Jordan Harbinger, Evan Carmichael, Dan Lok, and Other Big Names As Guests for the Show

 Chance Galloway interviewed me at my home recently, and I talked about exactly how I play the long game to get in touch with hard to reach people and book them on my show. I’ve used the strategies I talk about here to book some incredible guests thus far, and I’ll use the same strategies to book Tony Robbins, Donald Trump, Mike Posner, Guy Kawasaki, and Seth Godin.

I also talked about why you need to ditch your Instagram and Facebook efforts and put all of your energy into LinkedIn if you want to grow your business and brand in 2019.

Other talking points:

  • Dig the well before you’re thirsty
  • Why formal education is a HUGE scam
  • What I would say to someone who thinks a degree is their savior
  • Why most people who go to grad school only do so to delay responsibility
  • Why GPA is a social construct (and once you free yourself from it and stop caring about the number, your life becomes much better… freedom!)
  • How I invest
  • The non-negotiables (things that I do every day no matter what) that enable me to produce outstanding results
  • How I eat and other regular health habits
  • Why you should rarely, if ever, eat fruit
  • Meditation

This podcast is all about designing a life! Designing a life is cumulative, everything you do counts and moves you closer to your goals! Enjoy!

Tiffany Pham: A Supportive Partner Can Accelerate Growth

Tiffany Pham: A Supportive Partner Can Accelerate Growth

Can you imagine putting in the work to graduate from Harvard University AND Yale University business schools?

Well, my friend Tiffany Pham did exactly that, then went on to teach herself how to code, eventually creating Mogul, the largest online platform for women to connect with over 18 million users per week worldwide. She's only 31.

While reading her book, one chapter stuck out to me: "Accelerate Your Success with the RIght Partner." Being a hopeless romantic, I was curious! We talked about...

  • Growing in the same direction as your significant other
  • How to know whether or not your partner is conducive to your growth

Gary Vaynerchuk hit the nail on the head for me saying that when he met his wife, it actually did wonders for his headspace.

What do you think? Should we just keep our heads down and stay focused OR should we be open the beings the universe sends our way, knowing that we may cherish them and they may give us the headspace to truly go far in our lives?

What It Means to Be Human with Dawn Watson from the Tony Robbins Documentary | Power of Forgiveness

What It Means to Be Human with Dawn Watson from the Tony Robbins Documentary | Power of Forgiveness

 Dawn Watson was born into a religious cult in Brazil that believed in order to spread the love of god, you need to express your devotion through sexual acts. From the age of six, Dawn experienced sexual and emotional abuse. Dawn questioned these beliefs from an early age and when she turned 13, she decided to run away and begin her journey in search of healing from the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual abuses she suffered as a child.

In 2014, Dawn went to Tony Robbins' Date With Destiny, where she found the courage to break the silence and share the truth about her life for the first time. This was how she was able to liberate herself from pain and come back to love. Tony's intervention with Dawn was featured in the Netflix Documentary I Am Not Your Guru.

Today, she is certified by the Robbins-Madanes Center for Strategic Intervention and helps individuals in the process of redefining their deepest pains through lectures, immersions, online courses, and content on social media.

Since Dawn went to Date With Destiny, she has inspired people worldwide with her story. She always receives messages from people from all over the world saying how her story has helped them find ways to recycle pain and live in their truth.

She has been giving lectures and teaching courses around Brazil, guiding people on their path of forgiveness and explaining how they can transform pain into power.

 "Once I get that thing, then I'll be happy" | The Mark Metry Story

"Once I get that thing, then I'll be happy" | The Mark Metry Story

In honor of Mark Metry's story being featured in Forbes last week, we're bringing back this conversation with Mark from episode 36.

"Once I get that thing, then I'll be happy." 

We know better than to fall for this trap, but we're absolutely CONVINCED that one thing is going to do it for us.  

We know this is a fallacy that many others have fallen for...  But we "know" it will be different for us. It's going to fix everything.  

After Mark Metry hit it big on YouTube with 35K subs and owning the #1 Minecraft server in the world at age 15 (yes, Minecraft), he still wasn't happy even with the inflow of cash these ventures provided.  

It took learning from the sour fruits of success - complacency, disillusionment, arrogance - to set the framework for the rest of his life.  

And look at him now: Mark hosts the Humans 2.0 Podcast which has been top 100 on iTunes and he's the benevolent dictator of LinkedIn

Finding Meaning Through Trials and Tribulations | Patrick Natili

Finding Meaning Through Trials and Tribulations | Patrick Natili

In anticipation of Patrick Natili (@PatSoIcey, episode #38) returning to the podcast next week, we've queued up this throwback clip!

I asked a silly question on the podcast: Is the search for meaning a meaningless search?  

And the answer is no, it is absolutely not meaningless.  

"Life can't always be enjoyed, so you have to find and attribute meaning to your trials and tribulations and figure out how that contributes to your longitudinal happiness." - Patrick Natili (click to tweet)

It's just that in the good times we don't need our meaning or purpose at the forefront of our thoughts.  

In this way, meaning is much like the practice of meditation. We feel the need to meditate more in the difficult times than when things are going perfectly. 

Meditation, in tough times, is like a life jacket keeping us afloat, protecting us from drowning in our negative thoughts.  

Meaning, in tough times, is as vital as a life jacket when we are drowning in water. 

Without it, we will never be able to endure challenges. 

Without meaning, we will never stay afloat in a sea of disease, heartbreak, financial troubles, etc.  

Has your meaning/purpose kept you going through the toughest of times?

Why Formal Education Is a Huge Scam

Why Formal Education Is a Huge Scam

Education has popped up in conversation with many guests on the podcast, so this is a "Best Of" episode that highlights the best excerpts on this topic from the past few months.

Tuition prices are going through the roof while the value of a degree is plummeting.

Friends of mine are graduating with finance degrees and getting serving jobs. And if they do get a job, it's a dead-end one where they end up miserable.

I have never understood the concept of working your tail off doing pointless busy-work all in the hopes of getting a job where the people that currently have that job are unhappy with it.

This is bad enough, but what makes it worse is the fact that what we're learning is archaic. We're learning about newspaper print ads, inventory carrying costs, categories of equipment based service, and the degree of the angle at which a ladder leans against a wall. Archaic, irrelevant, silly.

What about the psychology of investing (Tony Robbins), how not to split the difference in a negotiation (Christopher Voss), why we should start with why in terms of branding, marketing, and communication (Simon Sinek), how to network, hold a conversation, and make people like you (Vanessa Van Edwards) ... why aren't we learning the important, relevant stuff?

The nail in the coffin is that I would never take any sort of life advice from 90% of my professors.

I want to make it clear I am not blaming the professors. It is the system. It seems that many classes are under strict regulation as to what they must do, which ends up being McGraw-Hill Education generic notes, Mcgraw Hill homework and quizzes that you can just click through without paying attention and still get an A on, test questions with an emphasis on rote memorization auto-generated by Mcgraw Hill's question bank which are then auto-graded with scantrons. The teacher has essentially been removed from the equation, and we all go to Mcgraw Hill University. I would love to see these teachers unleashed, spread their wings, and see what they can really do.

It's OK to Not Be OK + 4 Things to Do When You're Feeling Down

It's OK to Not Be OK + 4 Things to Do When You're Feeling Down

Kintsukuroi (golden repair) is a Japanese method of repairing broken pottery with lacquer mixed with either gold, silver, or platinum. When pottery breaks, the Japanese don't just render it useless and throw it away as Americans would. Instead, they see breakage as something that adds to the history, value, beauty, and uniqueness of an object. It's not something they try to hide, as they make the filled-in cracks noticeably shiny.
In the same way, we as humans should not be rendered useless when we break (and we all do). Sadly, some are not aware of the high power this concept wields, and this is why we have suicides. When we break, it is not permanent. We must trust that adversity is what makes us unique. We must trust that it is adding to our history, value, and overall beauty.

But Everyone Else Is Perfect Though ...
According to who? According to themselves on Instagram and Facebook? That's a bit like asking a cigarette manufacturer to provide evidence that their products are safe to use, which is exactly what happened from the 1930s until the 1950s. At a time when there was no internet to find out otherwise and when solely placing trust in the hands of physicians regarding health was the norm, cigarette manufacturers provided evidence to physicians claiming cigarettes were not harmful. The manufacturers even went so far as to feature physicians in their ads to brainwash the public. Below are some headlines of ads featuring physicians from newspapers.

❖ “Not One Single Case of Throat Irritation Due to Smoking Camels”
❖ “More Doctors Smoke Camels Than Any Other Cigarette”
❖ “Give Your Throat a Vacation… Smoke a FRESH Cigarette”
❖ “20,679 Physicians Say ‘Luckies’ Are Less Irritating”
❖ “Science Discovered It… You Can Prove It”
❖ “NOW… 10 Months Scientific Evidence for Chesterfield”
❖ “Just What the Doctor Ordered”
❖ “Chesterfield Best for You”
❖ “Why Physicians Call Our New Brand “A HEALTH CIGAR”

Do you really believe that stuff? Well, the American public did for more than twenty years until they finally caught on. Now everyone knows cigarettes cause fatal lung cancer and all sorts of negative health externalities.
In a similar fashion, people post Instagram pictures and Facebook status updates to show and tell everyone how amazing their life is even though many of them are depressed. This creates a skewed image of the world. It creates delusion. If you want to believe in that skewed image, be delusional, and put the pressure on yourself to be as “perfect” as everyone else, then feel free. I’m not stopping you. It may be an endless pursuit that results in misery, however.
Just as the American public caught on to cigarettes being unhealthy, I think we are beginning to catch on to the façade that others put up. I think we are beginning to realize that peoples' lives aren't as perfect as they hype it up to be. I hope I'm right about this.

“Trust the process” — A mantra synonymous with the culture of the Philadelphia 76ers
