Ace Weekly

Entreprenurship and Angel Investing Guru

Dan Fleyshman had an impressive and almost never-ending list of accolades & accomplishments. Dan licensed his apparel company for $9.5M at the age of 19. Four years later, he became the youngest founder of a publicly traded company in history at the age of 23. He also launched 1 of the top 5 highest grossing poker websites in the world. He now spends his time running his social media agency, Angel investing, and giving back through charity.

Dan shares his hard-nosed rags to riches story that was driven by relentless sales & marketing at a young age. Multiple times he's had everything taken out from underneath him. In these multiple instances, he says they are both the worst moments of his life as they shook his entire reality, but they also served as the best turning points of his career that got him to where he is today. When you listen to Dan you can sense an insane level of grit and determination as if nothing can phase him.

Dan shares stories of all the hard work that helped him get to where he is now, along with his strategies for angel investing, placing executives at his companies through the years, the psychology of influencer marketing, and the ultimate goal of giving back through charity.

We can go on & on about all the things Dan has accomplished and how he did it, but we'd need books upon books to cover it all. Tune in this week to TAP INTO A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE from one of the most successful young entrepreneurs of our time.

5 Minutes Of Fire is back!

In today's culture we often worry about celebrities more than we do ourselves. We're influenced by the opinions of those around us, and many people never audit themselves to figure out if they're aligned with their own authentic self. We put on masks to get the approval of others. This is especially prominent in American culture.

This week Andrew talks about taking a step back & only worrying about 1 person's opinion… YOURSELF. Rather than earning the approval of others, take a look in the mirror & figure out how to be authentically YOU!

What is your prespective on Leadership and Culture?

Ben Schemper, CEO of the high level leadership mastermind Abundant, joins Andrew as a leader & influencer with unique takes on how young leaders can influence our culture. He's worked closely with people like Tony Robbins, and now coaches top entrepreneurs, intraprenuers, and executives, some of whom have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for his coaching. Ben is a master at creating immersive experiences that have helped entrepreneurs, start-ups, and even Fortune 500 executives. He combines high level leadership principles, nature, and music to help people find their purpose & influence the world around them.

How does art & music intersect with the world of leadership & personal growth? For thousands of years, music has brought people together unlike anything else. The ability of music to create immersive experiences is a tool for leaders to keep in their arsenal of influence. It speaks to our subconscious in a way that nothing else can match.

Ben dives into creating immersive experiences for you to find transformation, keys on finding the right leadership relationships for your life, and how to unlock seemingly impossible possibilities for your life. He's worked closely with Andrew for over 5 years, which gives him a unique perspective that brings immense amounts of value to our ACE Weekly audience.

Next month, he's running an event in the Redwoods of California that combines a music festival feel with an immersive personal growth experience. Lives will be transformed as he creates an environment where people can experience their own authentic expression. We'll have a special breakout with Andrew, Ben, and the listeners of ACE Weekly at the event. We'd love to see you there!

What's REALLY going on right now?

Every now & then we like to take a step back and look at what's happening in the world. As a leader, it's important to be aware of all that is going on. There's a lot to digest from the war in Ukraine, skyrocketing gas prices, and some of our favorite actors are slapping each other at the Oscars. All of this is part of a war. Not World War 3 or impending famine & cyber attacks… it's all part of the WAR FOR YOUR MIND!

This week Andrew & Luke try to dissect what's really going on. If one thing is for certain, the surface level doesn't reveal the full truth. Understanding how & why they're coming after your mind is critical to be understood as a leader in this day & age. We don't have all the answers, but it's necessary that we try to find them.

What is the new normal in real estate markets?

The majority of entrepreneurs want to be involved in real estate, but the past few years of craziness can be hard to navigate.

Dave Seymour is a former military and firefighting paramedic, the star of Flipping Boston on A&E, and the CEO of Freedom Ventures Investments. Unlike many real estate investors who have started their careers early in adulthood, Dave did not go on this path until he hit his late 30s while working a 120 hour/week job. After quitting his day job, Dave started his real estate career by flipping houses. Now he has built a real estate empire through his $100M fund. The journey to get there wasn't easy. Having basically nothing to start investing with, Dave needed a major mindset shift to finally get out of the daily grind. He surrounded himself with the right people, . Listen as Dave and Andrew talk about how getting how he built his real estate portfolio, landing a gig as a TV star on Flipping Boston, shifting your mindset, and the new normal in the real estate markets.

Does your reputation precede you? The most important conversations people have about you and your business are the ones that happen when you're not around. That's the standard you have to hold for your reputation. In this day & age, people will try to tear you down (especially when you see high levels of success). So how can you have a reputation that holds up against scrutiny? Nowadays, people will sacrifice their reputation to win in the short term. You must learn to play the long-term game. After it's all said & done, the only thing you really leave behind is your legacy. That goes for both you & your business. Think about how you can become the 'go-to" person in your industry. Rather than sacrificing your reputation for short term success, aim to play the long game, and leave a legacy that lasts generations. This week Andrew walks through 5-keys on building social capital, and how you can leave a lasting legacy with your own personal brand & your business.

START WITH THE END IN MIND. Most businesses & relationships fail because people don't know where they are going. "Going with the flow" may work for some casual weekend plans, but when it comes to long term endeavors you have to know what you're striving towards. Without a desired end result, critical mistakes are made which can take you the opposite direction of where you really want to go. You would never hop in the car and just start driving without a gps or knowing where you're going. The same should hold true with how you treat your business and your relationships. Knowing where you're going is critical for knowing where you are now & what steps need to be taken. Tune in this week to hear & Andrew & Luke discuss starting with the end in mind.
