Podcast Highlights

• Who is Jim Palmer?

Everybody has limiting beliefs, when Jim was young he was so uncomfortable with public speaking that he would call in sick when his turn came around.

As the boss, no one is going to punish you for not doing what you are afraid of doing, you just won’t have the success you want. You have to personalize your inaction and find your Big Why.

“How is it you think you are entitled to the same level of success, yet you’re not willing to do the things that these people have done to grow their business?”

• Playing Big Versus Playing Small

No one has actually died from embarrassment. Most people discover that the things they are afraid of are actually things that they really enjoy doing.

Trying to be perfect kills momentum. You’re not perfect and it’s okay.

• The Imposter Syndrome

Everybody has a voice that says they may not be worth it, that someone will discover the real you. For the most part we are the same person throughout our lives, success does not fundamentally change who you are.

• The Definition Of A Decision

Highly successful people have the ability to assess a situation, question, or opportunity and quickly make a decision.

If you believe in the value you provide to your customers, you have to push them to make the decision that will benefit them.

• Dealing With Decision Fatigue

Hire and train right, empower your team to make decisions as well.

Don’t be afraid to take some time to refresh. Make the conscious decision to rest.

• Transformational Decisions

If you are going to expect other people to respect your time, you have to respect yourself as well. Know the value of your time and honor the commitments you make to yourself.

Reference: Decide For Success, Jim Palmer

• Jim’s Takeaway

Stop playing the mind game called “what if?”. You can’t create a new beginning but starting today, you can create a new ending.

Just say yes.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

This episode is a deep exploration of why limited thinking is holding you back from raising capital and how Clark Nichols can help you take your company public.

Clark Nichols has spent a lifetime helping companies build their businesses, both as an employee in his early years, as an owner in his ambitious years,  and as a consultant in his productive years. He is an natural born entrepreneur infused with a missionary zeal to help the next generation of entrepreneurs learn that business is a clean and honorable profession bound by rules of propriety as well as law.

Podcast Highlights

• Who is Clark Nichols?

When Clark was in his mid-thirties, he lost $6.4 million in six months. An attorney convinced Clark to help a mining operation in Brazil where he managed to turn the company around and multiply the share price by many times. Once his contract ran out with that company, Clark became very popular with other companies that were having trouble.

• Raising Capital

One of the challenges to raising capital is that we are thinking too small. People buy stock based on what they think the future holds for it.

• Can Anyone Go Public?

As long as the business plan is strong enough and the company has the history to show they can implement it, they will have a chance at going public.

• Equity And Ownership

You can raise capital and go public without losing ownership, as long as you set it up so that your stock is the only voting stock. The trick is to not give up voting control.

• How Small Can A Public Company Be?
• Building A Strong Business Plan
• Limited Thinking

You can not be afraid to fail. As long as you don’t lie, cheat, or steal you can raise money without acquiring debt.

• Clark’s Takeaway

Give Clark a call and tell him what your plan is, he’ll ask you what it is about your background that makes you think you can execute it. If both those things work out, Clark will show you how to get the money and how to move forward.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

This episode goes into what it really takes to succeed in business and why you need to think big if you want to win big.

Steve is President and CEO of Miller Ingenuity, a global supplier of high technology systems that protect assets, preserve the environment, and save lives. He is an internationally recognized business transformation expert whose keynote speeches have shown many c-suite executives how to maximize their company's Innovational Potential™ and double or even quadruple their company’s growth. Steve is a published author of four books, including American Manufacturing 2.0: What Went Wrong and How to Make it Right and his latest Mastering the Art of Success, now a best seller.

Podcast Highlights

• Who is Steven Blue?

Steven’s experience in a turnaround were where he learned important lessons about cash and strict operational control.

You don’t need a lot of people to have a dysfunctional toxic environment, Steven worked in such an environment and learned that a culture by design is a much better option.

• Payroll Or Paying The Light Bill

Do the analysis, your gut won’t be able to tell you what to do until you make enough mistakes to know the best option. Once you have the experience, pay attention to your intuition.

• You Cannot Win The Hand Unless You Place The Bet

You are going to be wrong about half the time, the planet is poised to tell you you’re going to be wrong. In the end, you have to believe in yourself.

• The Source Of Courage

Without belief, you can’t have courage. You will be wrong until you are proven right.

• Entrepreneurs On The Global Stage

Don’t wait for your competition to act, prepare now for the future.

• How Entrepreneurs Learn To Place A Proper Bet

Don’t ever make a bet that you can lose the whole company over.

• Starting Out

Find the most complicated issue you can and attempt to solve that, you’re going to spend as much time trying to solve that as you would on something easy. Start small but go for the huge upside.

If you chase small things, your thinking will be small, your planning will be small, and your results will be small.

• Warning Signs

You can’t have smart manufacturing if you have a dumb workforce. If you build the people, the people build your business.

• Building A Culture Of Values

Reference: American Manufacturing 2.0: What Went Wrong and How to Make it Right, Steven Blue

Mastering the Art of Success, Steven Blue

• Steven’s Takeaway

Go do a firework and find out that the limitations that you believe you have are self imposed.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

This episode goes deep into understanding your customers as people instead of just abstractions and how to make better business decisions.

For the past 20 years, Christian Madsbjerg has worked as a management consultant. He writes, speaks, and teaches on the practical application of the Human Sciences and his work has been featured in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The Washington Post, Der Spiegel, and Bloomberg Businessweek.

His latest book, Sensemaking: The Power of the Humanities in the Age of the Algorithm, was released in the spring of 2017 by Hachette Book Group. His book Moment of Clarity, co-written with Mikkel Rasmussen and published in the fall of 2014, has been published in 15+ languages. Christian studied philosophy and political science in Copenhagen and London and has a Masters from the University of London..

Podcast Highlights

• Who is Christian Madsbjerg?

Christian always thought he would be an academic but his experience in university put him on the different path towards entrepreneurship instead.

According to research, only 10% of decisions are made based on data within billion dollar businesses. Christian always wondered why so many businesses made so many bad decisions when data is always available. This lead to his consultancy and the focus of his writing.

• Most Entrepreneurs Are Guessing

All great businesses are found on an insight into how to serve a group of people in a meaningful way.

Looking at people and listening to them is better than asking them.

• Understanding Your Customers

You can get a really good understanding of your customers by going to the area where they lead their lives and observe. Engage in their life and try to walk a mile in their shoes.

Instead of guessing, spend some time with your future customers and develop a hypothesis.

• Increasing Your Odds Of Success

Innovate on many different things at the same time. The same product can seem very different if you change a few other things.

• Sensemaking

CEO’s of the modern corporate world are so separated from the average customer that the people they serve become abstractions. Without data, they have no way to make good decisions.

Try not to look at people as numbers, but as individuals. Choosing a group and then understanding it should be the target. Go to the savannah instead of the zoo.

• Your Customer Has To Be The Frontend Of Your Business

Reference: Sensemaking: The Power of the Humanities in the Age of the Algorithm, Christian Madsbjerg

The Moment of Clarity: Using the Human Sciences to Solve Your Toughest Business Problems, Christian Madsbjerg

• Christian’s Takeaway

Get strength from understanding the people you serve. Get inspired by going out and meeting the customers you serve.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

This episode dives into why the typical view of investing and retirement is wrong and how you can take back total control of your finances.

An entrepreneur at heart, first business at age 11, started 30 more since.  Founder of his own martial art, Yokido ™, and holder of 3 other black belts.  Damion paid for his first rental house with a VISA, bought 150 houses in 7 states over next 5 years and then went through a $20,000,000 meltdown in 2008.  

Today he runs an Austin based FinTech dedicated to Disrupting Wall Street by getting people off the Wall Street Roller Coaster and in control of their money and financial future. Damion has written 5 books with two more being released in 2017.

Podcast Highlights

• Who is Damion Lupo?

Damion’s mindset has always been that anything is possible. This turned him into a disruptor of the norm.

Your past becomes damage that prevents you from thinking in ways that seem outlandish, being naive can actually be a huge benefit. Your influences are what you become.

• Top 3 Lessons From The Financial Meltdown

Failure is an opportunity to learn. You have to own the things that happen in your life, responsibility is what gives you control.

Entrepreneurs often identify with their balance sheet, which is not the truth of who they are.

• Reinventing Damion

If you don’t fundamentally change your spirit, you’re going to repeat your past. You have to be willing to invest in yourself.

After Damion’s father became sick, Damion made the decision to help other people unlock their freedom and avoid regret.

• What Total Control Financial Does

There are three things that matter to us most in life, Money, Health, and Sex. If you don’t have freedom and control in your financials it can be like shackles on the rest of your life.

Keep control of your assets instead of giving away your control to Wall Street. The system tries to tell you that you aren’t smart enough to make your own choices about your money.

• Obstacles And Failure

You have to have experience to be able to succeed, failure is how we learn. You don’t get your superhero powers by reading a book, you have to go into the life gym and bleed and sweat.

The people you know and like don’t always make good team members, it can make having difficult conversations even harder.

• The Craziest Investment Damion Has Seen

• A Different View Of Retirement

Why would you quit once you’ve gathered decades of wisdom?

You have to find a way to connect and contribute. When you contribute you learn faster.

• Damion’s Takeaway

Use the Blank Slate Principal. How many things and people in your life are there by default that are not helping you grow into the person you want to become?

Scott Picken is a South African-born real estate investor and entrepreneur. He is the co-founder of Wealth Migrate, a fintech company that offers real estate investments on its online marketplace through crowdfunding. He began offering real estate investment solutions at the age of 26 when he founded International Property Solutions.

The Huffington Post named Wealth Migrate as one of the top 60 real estate crowdfunding solutions in the United States in 2014.

Podcast Highlights

• Who is Scott Picken?

Scott Picken has always loved building things. Scott built an extension onto his family’s house at the age of 13. This lead to his passion for building businesses and technology.

• Building Something Tangible Versus Something Intangible

If you want to be successful, do what successful people do.

The amount of money you can make in the business world is proportional to the amount of value you can add.

• How Did You Go From 13 Year Old To Wealth Migrate?

After missing out on a major opportunity during the 2008 crisis, Scott decided to build a platform that allowed people to access the capital that the institutions could as well as the knowledge and expertise to invest globally.

• Using The Wealth Migrate Platform

No matter what happens to business and technology, the fundamentals never change.

• What Are The Top 3 Mistakes That You’ve Made?

Systems unlock the potential for your business.

The people you know and like don’t always make good team members, it can make having difficult conversations even harder.

• Scott’s Takeaway

Nobody learned how to swim by reading a book, at some point you have to jump in the water.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, it’s not a case of if, it’s a case of when you will make mistakes. The important trait to have is persistence.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

This episode shows you the importance of red teaming and how testing your assumptions can lead to greater success.

Bryce G. Hoffman is an author, speaker, consultant, and strategic advisor who believes that individuals have the power to transform companies and cultures with the right processes.

Hoffman wrote the bestselling book American Icon: Alan Mulally and the Fight to Save Ford Motor Company, which has become a manual for leaders who want to transform their companies. His latest book, Red Teaming: How Your Business Can Conquer the Competition by Challenging Everything, was just published by Crown Business in the United States and Little, Brown and Company in the United Kingdom.

Podcast Highlights

• Who is Bryce Hoffman?

Bryce is a former journalist that witnessed many booms and busts and learned how businesses succeed or fail in the process.

After writing American Icon, Bryce began getting asked to present and implement many of the ideas in the book in other businesses. This lead to consulting and Bryce’s second book Red Teaming.

Don’t take your success for granted. You have to take great leaps forward to keep success going.

• How Does Red Teaming Impact Business?

Bryce was looking for a system that businesses can use to challenge their systems. Red teaming is the cure for institutional complacency.

Success is a poor teacher. Everybody needs a system that challenges their assumptions and strategies.

Red teaming can also be used to identify businesses that are vulnerable to being disrupted.

• Your Competitor’s Customers Are An Opportunity

• How Much Work Is It To Apply Red Teaming?

To get the full benefit of Red Teaming, you need a separate set of eyes to look at your plans.

• Inside Versus Outside Red Teams
• Red Teaming Your Foregone Conclusions

How many areas of your life could benefit from reevaluating your assumptions?

Reference:

Bryce Hoffman, American Icon: Alan Mulally and the Fight to Save Ford Motor Company

Bryce Hoffman, Red Teaming: How Your Business Can Conquer the Competition by Challenging Everything

• Bryce’s Takeaway

Just ask “why?”. Why is one of the most powerful words in the English language, there is no danger to asking why.

Just because you’re Red Teaming your plan doesn’t mean that there is anything wrong with your plan, but you won’t know that until you subject it to stress testing and scrutiny.

Podcast Highlights

• Who is Eliza Bacot?

Eliza grew up in the South and learned early on she had a love for the human body, which lead her down the path of pursuing medicine.

Modern medicine isn’t really focused on optimizing the human body, it’s more about treating disease.

After becoming an entrepreneur, Eliza realized that as a group, entrepreneurs can’t create good ideas or be creative if they are putting poor food into their bodies.

• Finding The Courage

When something is inspiring to you, you have to share with others.

To have courage means facing your fear.

Don’t be the person who dies with regrets…if something is calling you, take action. There are no barriers.

• Emotional Wellness

Your inner negative voice can destroy you.

Imagine all the people you will not impact, if you do not take action.

• What Does Wellness Really Mean?

Ignoring the signs your body is giving you, is a sure path to inflammation and pain.

• How Do We Make Changes?

Take small steps and start with one thing.

Without your health you won’t be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

• What Is A Wellness Community?

A wellness community is consciously designed for social connection.

• What Is Are Five Things Entrepreneurs Can Do Today?

If you knew that changing your food program could double your business, over the course of the year, would you do it?

You must look at the impact your eating habits have on your business…it will change your perspective.

• Eliza’s Takeaway

Go to the person you trust the most…the one that builds you up, and ask them “how do you see me?” Write the answer down, and look at it every day.

The thing that drives us is not money or fame, it’s purpose. If you get your mindset right in the beginning, nothing can stop you.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

This is an intriguing story of wealth, scandal, and redemption.

Joe Gagliano is a former member of the New Orleans Mafia, and architect of one of the biggest sports point-shaving scandals in American history - the subject of his new book, No Grey Areas: The Inside Story of the Largest Point Shaving Scandal in History and the Consequences Thereafter.  

At the age of 24, Gagliano quarterbacked the ASU basketball point-shaving scandal, still one of the largest scams in sports history. Not only did he outsmart the sports betting world, as an entrepreneur Joe managed to create a number of legitimate and highly successful businesses.

Podcast Highlights:

• Who is Joe Gagliano?

Now a family man, and resurrected entrepreneur, Joe is the son of a cop and two-time felon.

Joe Gagliano then and now; living by default vs. conscious choice and direction

• The dark side of gambling; the impact on career, relationships, and overall happiness

• Investing vs. gambling

• Transferrable skill sets

Is it possible to learn how to run a business from a felon?

• Living in the Grey-Area

Many of the skill sets required to operate in the grey-area of law are very effective in managing a business. “Applying those skills, in the proper channels, can lead to great success.”

• Joe’s Takeaway

Being one-degree off center, at an early age, may lead you astray years down the road.

“It takes twenty-years to build a reputation, and five-minutes to ruin it.” ~ Warren Buffet
