Welcome back to the latest episode of The Disruptors with Rob Moore. Today Rob speaks with American actress, author, philanthropist and empire builder Elena Cardone. Elena talks through how she has grown her business with her husband, and business partner, Grant Cardone and the challenges she has faced. Their conversation takes them from how Elena balances so many roles, in her professional and personal life, to how depending on others is essential to be successful. Elena talks about her new book Build An Empire: How to Have It All with tips and ideas on how everyone can reach their potential, building their own empire.

Key Takeaways

What makes a successful business partnership and relationship? To have the same mission is essential but also have very big goals and aspirations. Our mission is to reach 7 billion people on the planet, try and help them. Elena spoke about the need for not worrying about the little things, focus on what is getting you to your goal. You have to figure out what are each other's strengths and weakness. That means, that in Elena’s case, she might take the lead on somethings and Grant on others, playing into each other's strengths is really important. It’s important to know who makes which decision where so you’re not fighting each other, but working together.

How do you balance being a mum and all the other roles that you have? Elena spoke about being mercurial, being fluid with your time and roles. It’s important to work on becoming an asset for yourself. Elena spoke of being able to move and adapt easily between being a mom and a businesswoman, having multiple personas. Learning that there are no fixed assumptions of what a normal marriage or business should be and challenging those norms is important. Finally, it’s essential to believe in the product and the mission of what you’re doing so you can commit to the role.

What are the sacrifices that you have to make? Elena spoke of the challenges that face being a woman and being a romantic. Elena spoke about having to sacrifice the traditional romantic elements of a relationship sometimes. It can be tiring being in business, being jet-lagged, going from event to event. However, believing in the mission and wanting to be known to the English market is an important motivator. Elena spoke of her serious pride in knowing that she helped others. The sacrifices are worth it because of the extraordinary legacy that Elena wants to leave.

Why Is it hard to be a Woman In Business? It’s difficult to keep up with the physical expectations all the time. It’s difficult to be on the road full time and then go one to be full on mom duty in the evening. It doesn’t turn off being a mom. You get neglected. It’s important to understand the different roles in relationships. At first Elena spoke of not wanting to have a nanny to help them but for instance, she doesn’t do grocery shopping anymore. Elena spoke of the importance of outsourcing elements of the business and personal life, so you can prioritise your time and energy on the big goals.

What Does It Take To Build An Empire? You have to understand your purpose, and it takes sacrifice and courage. You have to be able to stand up for what you believe in. Anybody who wants to achieve something greater than themselves has to do this. You have to strip away some old ideas. Elena spoke of the importance of constant growth when building an empire, in relation to finance, your product and real estate. What is your brand? Are you expanding to reach more people? The key element of empire building is that they can withstand setbacks. The bigger the empire the better it is at protecting you. Bad things happen to good people every day, so empires are there to help you when things get a little rough.

Is it an endless chase for growth? There is always a new target. Be grateful for the achievements that you have made but there is always a long-term goal. It took Elena ten years to get to where she is now. Elena highlighted the importance of small attainable goals that you can achieve along the way. This means that you are not constantly overwhelmed with the larger goals. Subdividing the large targets means you have hit the small targets.

How has life changed since building the business with Grant? It’s so important to partner up with the right person. It has allowed Elena to find her right power through the aid of someone else. Elena spoke of the confusion she felt before Grant. The partnership with Grant has enabled her to increase her own self-worth, and really find a direction in life. For example, the book has come from being pushed by Grant to write it.

Raising Children As Entrepreneurial. Elena spoke of wanting her kids to contribute to society in whatever field they choose to. Elena wants them to go through life and not be scared of anything. They earn everything, and when they are given a gift it’s theirs to look after or break. Elena spoke of the importance of teaching her kids to talk with strangers, so they aren’t scared to do it when they are adults.

Best Advice. Always be a friend to yourself. You can correct yourself, forgive yourself, love yourself, it’s a really rewarding metaphor.

Worst Advice. ‘Never depend on a man.’ Grant is the most trusted person in my life, he trusts me, and he has tremendously helped me. We are interdependent species and depending on others is what we need to do. There are a lot of myths out there about being independent when trusting others is essential to be successful.

What does disruptive meant for you? Challenging the norm.

There’s a lot of people out there trying to dominate their industry and take over. This isn’t the smartest goal and in some ways, it’s selfish. No one on the planet wants to know about or care about your goal of taking over. Ask yourself, how does it benefit your follows, fans, customers and clients? How does it serve them or benefit them?

If you want to be good at marketing and grow your business you need to find out what problems you can solve and package and write stories about them so that you can monetise them. People will only watch and listen to you if you’re serving them and meeting their needs. So drop the world domination goal you’ve set yourself and get out there and solve problems.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you want to make a difference in the world and make a fortune, you need to solve meaningful problems and discover what you can do to help your audience. Aim to create a product to meet the needs of your clients and your customers, to care, serve, solve and grow through constantly improving your offering.
• It’s okay to be selfish in your goals when you need to fix your own problems. It’s okay to focus on yourself and your family when you’ve got nothing in your family. But when you’ve gone beyond your basic material needs its time serve a bigger goal of helping others.

BEST MOMENTS

“If you serve your community your community will lift you up.”

“Aim to lift other people up and you will get what you want out of it.”

Welcome back to another episode of the Disruptors podcast. Today, Rob talks with billionaire Naveen Jain about his life, his work, and his vision to change the world for the better. Naveen talks passionately about the power of technology to enhance people's lives today but most importantly in the future.

Key Takeaways

Moonshot. The bigger your vision the more motivation you will have to achieve it. If you’re hitting the snooze button every morning then you’re working on the wrong things. Entrepreneurs who have big visions who aim to tackle the big problems in the world are the most successful.

All Sentences Begin With What If. Questions that begin with ‘What If?’ help to visualise the future. In order to get buy-in from other people you always need to visualise your dream, your vision to others. The most successful people focus on what the world should be, not on what it is currently.

What Does It Mean To Be Successful? We need to change what successful actually means to people. It shouldn’t be about making money, because you can never actually achieve that. It should be about the number of lives you have improved. The most successful people are the humblest because they truly understand what it means to be successful.

Not Getting Overwhelmed. Having so many ideas in a multitude of sectors and spaces could be overwhelming. It’s important to break those down into slices and work on one thing at a time. Consequently, it’s ok to then sell the business, or move on to something else when you think you have contributed all you can in one area.

The Next Ten Years Will Be The Most Disruptive In History? Throughout history innovations usually happen one at a time but today innovations are happening everywhere all the time. Currently we have a convergence of technology and innovation allowing for change on a vast scale. With business’ working with marginal costs for things like analyzing large datasets, the possibilities for disruption are endless.

What Did You Learn From The Dot.com Crash? Booms and busts are like a heartbeat. When there is a low part of the cycle, there will always be a high one round the corner. It’s important then to be humble when you’re at the top of the wave and optimistic when it’s at the bottom. Booms and busts don’t prevent innovations happening, they offer opportunities for disruptions in all sectors.

What Does Disruptive Mean To You? This means thinking about change exponentially not incrementally. How can you make the biggest change in the world so that you make it a better place for everyone.

Best Moments

‘It’s not where you start from, it’s what you make of it.’

‘Life never stops teaching, we just stop learning.’

‘What matters is what you can do for your society not what you can do for yourself.’

‘Aiming for an audacious moonshot is how we change society.’

‘If you’re not willing to die for it, don’t live for it.’

‘I can’t change the world around me, only how I react to it.’

‘Live in the moment.’

‘Obsession is for entrepreneurs.’

‘The American dream is now the universal dream.’

Rob gets asked a lot why he doesn't create art anymore. For three years Rob was a stereotypical artist, troubled, bitter, dark and depressed. But property and the freedom, choice and profit that came with it saved his life.

Now Rob is able to express himself and his creativity through books, public speaking, personal development and the art of helping others, because you have to have a creative side of the business and a commercial side.

In today’s episode, Rob shares with you how to embrace the commercial and the creative. Every challenge in your business is creativity in action.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Rob gave up art, not because he didn't love art, but because he couldn't monetise it. Because he hadn't learnt how to leverage and how to sell. Property came at the right time in life for Rob and as a result, he has made millions.

• Any business that you love can be a creative outlet for you. Rob now uses his business, property, training, writing and the podcast as a creative outlet. The balance of creating and commercial is essential to success. The most sustainable way to grow a business and a brand are by balancing these two forces.

• You don't have to constantly create, you can borrow creativity from different niches and apply it to others. Fusing creativity together and cutting through the noise. Everybody is creative, no matter what niche you're in or skills that you have. You can be creative in your own way and the manner in which you do things.
  
  

BEST MOMENTS

"Property saved my life in terms of my finances"

"A great art is business and business is art"

"Everything good is art"

“Rob didn't know the art of leverage when he was an artist. But it wasn't the quality of art that meant he couldn't sell it, it was because Rob couldn't sell.”

Welcome to another episode of the Disruptors Podcast. In today's episode, Rob interviews YouTube sensation and life coach, JP Sears. They discuss how to be an internet sensation, how to increase share-ability and the true meaning of authenticity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
The secret to creating this internet sensation. It is not just one secret. One secret is to put out a lot of videos that don’t do well. That's not at all saying like put out crap. It's, of course, do your best everytime, but it's pointing to the virtue of consistency. Not all videos will go viral. They’re not all going to be home runs. Don't think that the goal is for them (videos) to be home runs, yet makes the experience of having a lot of videos do reap well is to be very consistent with putting out work. And consistency is king when it comes to creative video content. Any kind of content, consistency is really important.

Three ingredients that tend to make videos do better or increase its share-ability:

• Entertainment. Humour lines is an awesome form of entertainment. That's not everybody's authentic brand, I'm not saying that should be. Yeah, we all have some degree of entertainment ability that we have access to.
• Self-awareness. Where you essentially get people in touch with what they think that they either didn't know, think or they haven't put words on it. So you see what's everybody's thinking whether they know they're thinking it or it's like a deeper thought. And then people just love that, like, ah cool!
• Inspiration. If you can get people feeling inspired, feeling emotion especially on the inspired side of emotion, that's gonna make them want to watch your video more. It's gonna increase the chances of them clicking the shared button.

True Meaning of Authenticity. JP thinks being yourself is some of the wisest and most useless advice you could ever encounter because when someone says, be yourself, it doesn’t help you to be yourself. And a lot of us don’t know who we are. So, there’s like, how can I be myself when I don’t know who I am? With that said, being ourselves as much as we can even when we don’t know who we are, and being authentic means being true to our feelings. So, feeling our feelings when we’re feeling is part of being authentic. It’s not glorious, but it’s like if you’re sad, if you’re happy, or you’re joyful, don’t apologize for it. Be in those feelings.

Practical authenticity. Voicing your genuine perspective. Not trying to confirm. It’s being true to your perspective with your voice and being true to your feelings that are in your body. Period.

Humbleness. Knowing that you don’t know. It’s like all the answers are found within. And in reality, it’s like yeah not many answers are not gonna be found within and that’s maybe why there are other people in this planet: mentors, coaches, colleagues who have been where we’re going. They’ve been there before, so now’s a good time to ask who.

Self-efficiency. A blessing and a curse that’s so many entrepreneurs is self-efficiency. Sort of a, I can do it all and I will do it all attitude. You wanna be self-responsible, self-sufficient, resourceful but when we get glued in that, when like we start worshipping the religion of self-sufficiency, then we forget the exponential leverage of other people. Realizing like, I can learn in 10 minutes what might have taken that person 10 years to learn, in that can save me years of error which might cost me, cost me time, might cost me a lot of money, not to mention it might cost me revenue that I would never earn. As entrepreneurs, we got to figure out the humbleness and realize we need to ask, we need to have a beginner’s mind at times…

Get out the trap of comparison. We’re drinking the poison, and we don’t even notice that. Notice when you are criticizing others. We criticize others. Especially others that deep down inside maybe to surface level, we deem them more successful than us. But what makes us want to criticize them is we’re comparing ourselves to them, we feel bad. We maybe feel insignificant, so the outcomes the criticism, trying to make them less significant in our mind’s eye so that we don’t have to feel as insignificant. So notice yourself when you are criticizing someone. Step 2 is asking yourselves, what am I feeling insecure about right now? You are a human being. You are going to feel insecure about something. It’s not if but it’s what. What am I feeling insecure about right now? Don’t shame yourself for being insecure, but let it be okay feeling insecure.

Pessimism and Optimism. Pessimism is when we are dogmatically stuck in a negative point of view. I think optimism is when we’re dogmatically stuck in the positive point of view. And I think there is a huge downside to both.

Money. Money can be a spiritual tool when you can see how it connects to the rest of life. If people use money and use their relationship with money in a way that makes them more connected to other people, makes them more connected to other people around them, more connected to themselves, then yes, it’s a spiritual tool for you.

What it is to be happy? “To be happy is to be accepting of yourself, not for how you want things to be but how things are for you right now.”

Is happiness the right dream to chase? “No, because a lot of us don’t know what happiness is. I think a lot of us are chasing gratification but calling it happiness. And I think often times gratification subtracts happiness in our life, so we start chasing more of what we call happiness that’s actually gratification. So, we have less happiness in our life, and it can become a downward spiral until we’re gratified to the gills, but we have no happiness. So, I think chasing two things: self-acceptance and growth. For me, those are the pursuits that feel better to me.”

Best advice: “Nothing is as it seems. That’s taught me not to believe my beliefs, not to just dogmatically believe how things seem to be for me. It’s really taught me to be open-minded and open-hearted.”

Worst advice: “It is something I somehow fell into. Be like that person was a mindset I was in for quite a bit and it makes serve a purpose but ultimately it was pretty crappy advice that I was living even though it may never have been directly pulled to me.”

Blaming other people. “In America right now, we love to scapegoat everything into our president. I’m not a fan of his but I’m not a fan of blaming what we don’t like in our lives on him, so I think how people project themselves on to other people, that’s called blame. And don’t own their experience of themselves. They don’t see who’s looking in the mirror. Instead, they just see the mirror, don’t like what they see, and then blame the mirror for it. So, I think the solution for that is radical self-responsibility where when we look at what we don’t like about other people, even the president of the US, we have the wisdom and the humbleness to ask, what does this say about me?”

Disruptive. Disruptive means breaking normal. It can mean we become the human being instead of the sheep walking in the herd. And we break the norm. So it’s a pattern interrupt. And that could be by expressing our weirdness, our uniqueness, our perspective. I think there’s a lot of forms it could take. But it’s breaking normal. Normalcy is the worst disease that infects humankind and I think being disruptive is a beautiful cure for the worst disease there is.

Recent success impacted your life? “Things are always changing if I allow them too. In order to allow the growth to happen, I have to change. I have to adjust the centre gravity of my life. Our willingness to be uncomfortable to adjust and change to the tides of life now has been instrumental for me. I’m not going to claim to be perfect yet I’m actively doing my best to adjust and change.”

BEST MOMENTS
“Entertainment. Self-awareness. Inspiration. Sometimes those are all very intertwined. People can feel inspired emotion because they're entertained and laughing, and they can feel.”

“Not to sound to cliche but the failure are incredibly valuable when you look back on and to gain the lessons and of course sometimes we fail and because it's uncomfortable we don't look back and soak in the lessons and therefore it's like we failed in it.”

“Searching for a truer version of ourselves, I don’t know of anything that’s maybe nobler than that. I think it’s beautiful.”

“The search becomes very fruitless when it’s only an intellectual endeavour.  But if our search for authenticity includes action. If it includes risking living life through relationships, taking risks, one we’re inspired to start a new business, put something out on, you know, voicing our perspective, one that includes adventure, I think those are the components of the searching that really count a hell of a lot more than what’s going on in our brains… It’s not meant to be an intellectual endeavour. It’s meant to be a lived experience.”

“Something is only intelligent when we have the intelligence to discern when to pay attention to that source of intelligence. If we’re only paying attention to it, I think it’s gonna mislead us.”

“Wisdom is knowing what you don’t know. Learning is you learn more and you start to become aware of what you are unaware of, and that’s why I think if one doesn’t have humbleness and compassion to say, and it’s okay, it can be… the fires of the ego can really burn us where we get more and more insecure knowing how much we don’t know.” - British Proverb

“Comparison is a lethal poison that nobody other than us is going to inject into ourselves.”

“The most common denominator of successful people both in internal success and external success is they ferociously learn from other people. The hunger to learn.”

“Realistic thinking is ideal. Seeing the positive point of view from the negative point of view is freaking helpful.”

“I think we want to acknowledge the extremes so we’re better in form so we could find the place of balance in between.”

What does it mean to be resilient? There’s a lot of talk in the personal development world that bravery, courage and vulnerability are constituent parts of resilience. But really resilience is the desire to continually solve problems with no loss of enthusiasm. Tune in today to hear what resilience is and what it isn’t, and why you too can get more done through accountability and an action orientated mindset.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Every opportunity you have to improve as a person or as a business is really just problem-solving. There’s no need to make it bigger than it is or worry about why. You just need to get out there and do it. Improve on the skill or approach that’s holding you back.
• If you can go from problem to problem with a solution mindset and manage your emotions and deal with the issue with enthusiasm, you will be successful and achieve your goals.
• If we talk too much about bravery, courage and vulnerability we can build resilience up to be much harder than it actually needs to be.
• In order to solve your problems and get what you need you must become accountable. You are the easiest person to lie to because you’re not letting anybody down. The more external accountability you have, the more it forces you to take away the choice to go and solve the problems and implement the actions you want. Then you build resilience through forced accountability.
• When there is a choice there's no resilience, but when there is no choice you naturally take on an action orientated mindset. You need to take all of your options down to a binary yes or no choice and force yourself to get it done.

BEST MOMENTS

“Sometimes you need to make the same mistake 30/40 times”

“There are first world problems and then there are third world problems”

“Contextualise the problem and solve it rationally”

“Usually speaking you will only do the things that you have to do.”

In today’s episode of the Disruptors Podcast, Rob interviews professional journalist, columnist, author and editor of GQ magazine, Dylan Jones OBE. Dylan has served as the editor of the global magazine since 1991 and has won the British Society of Magazine Editors “Editor of the Year” award a record ten times.

Rob and Dylan discuss how GQ has had to evolve, innovate and change, to sustain its status as a premium men’s fashion and lifestyle magazine. They discuss the value of a brand, changing delivery channels, the current climate and how the whole industry has been disrupted by technological changes.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

How would you describe what you do and who you are?

• I'm a professional journalist. I've also done a series of books and I'm quite active with the British fashion council. The great thing about the magazine, however, is that it allows us to split off into politics or literature quite easily, it's very engrossing. The remit of GQ is quite broad and it allows us to fold in various different disciplines. My role at GQ is principally editing, steering the magazine in the right direction both physically and commercially.

Is the role of vision and direction of GQ a role that you enjoy?

• Absolutely and it changes over the years because we're not just producing a monthly magazine. In this climate, we're producing a magazine of a standard you don't often see anymore. These days you have to have everything and it's a bit like being back in the newspaper. You're trying to drive the news agenda whilst also report on what's going on in the world. We have a much smaller team than any other national newspaper but we use various pillars to get everything done.

What is the current climate and how has your industry changed?

• The climate has changed primarily because of technology because distribution channels have changed enormously and audience consumer habits have changed. When we started people didn't have mobile phones, now people consume content in different ways. That's why we have a print magazine, a digital magazine, social feeds etc.

What does good journalism look like to you?

• Journalism that is well commissions, well researched, well written, well edited and well displayed. There is a vehicle for quality journalism because there is a demand for expert and quality material to be produced. Today, everything is quick and everything is disposable. The world is full of fake news and content is endlessly regurgitated, so much so there is no trust anymore. Now, we start to see a resurgence in the appreciation of excellence.

What does Disruptive mean to you?

• It’s a very emotive word and it powerful and people are looking for it. I think people are looking for it in every walk of life, every discipline and every profession. It’s probably more important now to be a disruptor now than it ever has before because you can attach real commercial value to it.

BEST MOMENTS

“We're very confident in our abilities to talk to a certain demographic. If you understand your product and you understand your audience then it's all about delivery.”

"You have to know your audience and know your brand"

"We seem to have had a revival with social media. We used to think that social media would reduce our attention spans but actually in the podcast and magazine world's it's the opposite. Some of the best pieces are two/ three-hour long conversation pieces"

“In this world where you can share anything, there’s a premium on quality.”

“As a journalist, you are always looking for things that you don’t know. Because you want the readers not to know them. It’s a constant journey of discovery.”

“Podcasts are incredible, it’s on-demand radio and it’s smart people talking.”

“You can be a writer or you can be an editor, but you can’t be both. I don’t think that’s true.”

ABOUT THE GUEST
