August 03, 2021Own Less Stuff
Overview
As an entrepreneur, Graham Brown, hadn't taken a day off in over 13 years. He had spent all of his time and money working to keep his businesses moving to meet societal expectations. Eventually, Graham got to the point where he recognized that material things did not benefit his individual happiness. This realization persuaded him to sell off his company and the majority of his material things to begin a new adventure and rewrite his story.
Living out of only 3 suitcases for 4 years, Graham began to see what truly made him happy. It wasn't all of the cars, or the 50 employees, or the fancy office space that made him feel successful. In fact, the material things only became liabilities. Limiting aspects of his life that he felt pressured to do, opened up space for Graham to master his own story.
Tune into this week’s episode of ValueVerse to hear more about Graham’s journey. Learn why owning less stuff will bring you more success, how to say no to grow, and how to master your storytelling so others can understand you and your business!
Quotes
“The average person spends 60-70% of their income on a car to drive to work to earn the money to buy a car.” (07:52-08:02)
“Nobody can tell you what success is or should be and that's important. Because too many of us are sleepwalking through life absorbing what the idea of success is from advertising, or preachers, or friends and that makes us unhappy.” (10:21- 10:40)
“I think a key to growth is when you can turn things down and say no.” (21:37- 21:39)
“Your ability to tell stories is directly related to the outcomes you have in business.” (30:15- 30:21)

August 02, 2021What Does Success Mean to You?
This week's guest is Graham Brown. He’ll be on tomorrow at 6AM Pacific Time. I’ll also be releasing a bonus episode that I talked about last week, which is Harlan Hammack and Simon Meadows this Wednesday August 4th at 530am Pacific Time. Episodes are released every Monday and Tuesday at 6am pacific time and Wednesday at 530am pacific time. That's 3 days a week of content, because I’m hooked on providing you with valuable content.
About
On the episode with Graham, we talked about owning less stuff, some of the things that hold us back.
What is the stuff or that need that we keep thinking we need to buy or things we need to have to keep us happy.
We then got into building a business, why are you building one in the first place? What's the main reason? Are you building it because you love the game of business?Because you gotta love the game if you want to win. This was a heart to heart conversation with Graham, we touched on a lot of important topics.
One thing I found was learning from others' experiences did two things for me: 1. It saved me years and years of pain 2. It allowed me to fast track past any pitfalls up ahead. The key here is to listen, and listen deeply.
We then got into the talk of success, and what that means to you. Graham does a great job explaining what that is for him and what society views it as. Everyone has a different definition and feels qualified to tell you what that is. But what is it really, and what is it for you specifically?
Some of the questions that were answered in this episode were:
Why do we do the things that we do?
What are we working for exactly? Is it for that day when you think you’re going to finally retire and travel the world? You may not want to wait until that day and we go over why.
What does saying no look like? And what does that do for you? Because when you say yes to something, you say no to something else.
What is the ego and how do we recognize it when it arises? Sometimes it comes on fast and you can’t see it, before it's too late.
More importantly, what story are you telling the world?
Finally, what does success really mean?
Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote:
What is success? To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate the beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition, to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
End
This episode was very conversational, insightful and Graham does a great job explaining what all this means. Graham is an author, Ironman finisher, owns a podcast production company and travels the world. He also does a great job calling me out on the end (stay tuned at the end for this pleasant reveal)

In this episode, we speak with Alan Nogier, a

yourself that you can.” (3:46 - 4:53)

July 27, 2021Reinvent Yourself
With 14 published books available in 20 languages and over 2 million people reached, Randy Gage is a successful Author and Critical Thinker who is passionate about helping others reinvent their lives to achieve the best versions of themselves.
Life has not always been easy for Randy. He spent some time in jail as a teenager, he had several failed business attempts, and he was consistently finding himself in the same bad situations. It wasn't until Randy stopped letting himself fall victim to his own limiting beliefs that he began to see any change. He forced himself to question the core parts of his life so that he could consciously and mindfully decide what he believed for himself, and not what other people had told him. By doing so, Randy was able to take accountability for his past mistakes and redirect his life. He has since then reinvented himself several times.
Tune into this week’s episode of ValueVerse to hear more about Randy Gage’s story. Learn how Randy released himself from a victim mindset, how to challenge the core foundations of your life, and how you can reinvent yourself to be whoever you want to be no matter where you are in life. You will even get an insight to what Randy’s latest book, Radical Rebirth, is all about- which you can purchase using the link below!
Quotes:
“Sometimes you're so desperate to believe something that you believe it, and if you believe it, it’s true, it comes true.” (03:31- 03:38)
“If you think today the way you thought 20 years ago, you just wasted two decades of your life.” (13:54-14:00)
“It’s important to have a congruent philosophy to live by.” (29:01-29:06)

Gabby Ianniello founded The Adulting Manual when she found herself down and out financially. After graduating from college with a teaching degree she didn’t want to use, Gabby began bouncing from job to job trying her hardest to level up.

After moving back to her parents house, Gabby realized just how many lessons in life she was never taught in school. With determination and dedication, over time Gabby was able to teach herself the things that would lead her to financial success.
She is now the proud host of the Corporate Quitter podcast and writer of The Adulting Manual where she shares stories from other entrepreneurs, and teaches lessons that you won’t learn in school. Tune in to this week’s episode of ValueVerse to learn more about Gabby’s story and how you can be the best adult you can be!
