Today’s episode is a fun one. I’m talking with my good friend and one of the most inspiring human beings I’ve ever met, Hal Elrod. 

In case you don’t know, Hal is the author of one of the highest rated books in the world, The Miracle Morning – which has over 6,000 five-star Amazon reviews and has sold over 2 million copies. But it’s much more than a book, it’s a movement that has inspired millions of people to unlock their full potential, one morning at a time. 

Hal’s life is nothing short of miraculous… 

• At the age of 20 he was hit by a drunk driver, died for 6 minutes, and was told he’d never walk again. 
• At 28, he lost over half of his income, racked up $52,000 in credit card debt, and his home was foreclosed on by the bank. 
• At 37, he was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of cancer and was given a 30% chance of surviving.

Hal has defied seemingly insurmountable odds time and time again, and in this episode, you’re going to get the personal development systems and frameworks he’s used to achieve the business and life of his dreams. 

3 of the biggest insights from Hal Elrod …

• The power of The Miracle Morning and why your level of success will seldom exceed your level of personal development. 

• The 5-Minute Rule and the “Can’t Change It” mantra that anyone can use to overcome life’s biggest (or smallest) challenges.  

• The Miracle Evening routine that turns anxiety and stress into blissful bedtime and better sleep. This inspiring framework is what Hal used to overcome his own challenges with sleep, depression, and suicidal thoughts at the darkest time of his life.

Today, I’m interviewing Triad Members Tyler Wrezinski and Andrew Hall, the co-founders of Virtus Financial Group. As you’ll find out, these guys are a ton of fun to hang out with, super authentic, and are proof of what can happen when you surround yourself with the right people and you’re willing to step into the unknown. 

In two short years, they went from an insurance-focused offering to an RIA with a holistic planning approach – bringing in north of $35M in total assets for 2023 and now sitting at $50M in AUM. 

I got a lot of joy out of hearing them describe how our community has helped them level up and change the way they do business AND life – and I know you will too!  

3 of the biggest insights from Tyler Wrezinski & Andrew Hall…

• The power of community and what happens when competitors become collaborators, egos are left at the door, and success isn't measured by numbers, but by the support and camaraderie of a like-minded tribe.

• How to guide your clients toward a meaningful future and give them the courage and confidence to truly live their life – and spend without worry.

• Learn how prioritizing a culture of trust and alignment can supercharge your team's performance, attract top talent, and create unstoppable momentum!

Today, I’m talking with my good friend, Justin Donald. He’s a successful entrepreneur and the founder of The Lifestyle Investor – a company that teaches people how to create wealth, without creating a job.

Through his Lifestyle Investor membership group, courses, book, and podcast, Justin has taught thousands of others how to build the wealth, freedom, and lifestyle of their dreams. 

Justin’s also got a ton of wisdom when it comes to building and scaling businesses. He owns multiple franchises, multiple real-estate businesses, one of the largest mobile home park portfolios in the US, a residential maintenance and rehab company, several operating companies, and more. He’s hired thousands of people throughout his career, so there’s a ton of insights in this episode around growing and empowering your team.

Today, I’m talking with Dr. Daniel Crosby, a psychologist and behavioral finance expert who helps organizations understand the intersection of mind and markets.

As the Chief Behavioral Officer at Orion Advisor Solutions, Daniel develops tools and tech that make it easier for financial advisors to apply behavioral science to the real world.

He’s authored books such as: "The Laws of Wealth," which was named the best investment book of 2017 by the Axiom Business Book Awards AND “The Behavioral Investor”, which provides a comprehensive look at the neurology, physiology, and psychology of sound financial decision-making.

In this episode, Daniel and I talk all about the relationship between money and living a meaningful and happy life. We also talk about what I call the “Entrepreneurial Lie”, his latest book, The Soul of Wealth, his book writing process, how to lead from a place of authenticity, and so much more!

3 of the biggest insights from Daniel Crosby…

• The psychological connection between money and happiness – and how to break the cycle of putting work before everything else.

Today, I’m talking with Wally Elibiary – a leader in the mortgage industry and the author of 24-7 Mindset.

Wally has been in the mortgage business for 20+ years and has a ton of wisdom when it comes to leveraging people, systems, and technology to scale a business. 

In this episode, Wally shares his story and the problems he faced in his own company that were preventing him from achieving unlimited growth and freedom. While his mortgage business was considered “successful” he was burning the candle at both ends. Not only that, but he realized that 97% of his business was reliant on referrals from a single lead source, putting his entire business at risk.

As we dig in, Wally’s going to teach you the exact system he developed to diversify his referral network, refine his systems, and scale from a solitary $40 million loan officer to a team that consistently closes $200M in loans.

Oh yah, Wally also only works 24 hrs per week and he takes a minimum of 20 weeks of vacation every single year. 

If you want to learn how he did it AND how you can apply a similar approach to your advisory firm, this episode is a must-listen! 

3 of the biggest insights from Wally Elibiary …

• Wally went from being a $40 million solo producer to building a team that closes $200+ million in loans annually. Hear how he went from one-man show to scaling his business – without sacrificing his freedom.

• Wally was only generating 3% of his business from his existing database. Listen to him share the strategy — and the technology — he used to boost that number to 37% by creating a referral network with CPAs, financial advisors, and attorneys. 

• For the last 9 years, Wally has read 50+ books per year. But he doesn’t just read the books, he takes action! Learn his framework for retaining and implementing lessons from the books you read so you can achieve success in every aspect of life.

Today, I’m chatting with Triad Member Stephen Stricklin, who is the president and founder of Wise Wealth LLC, an independent, full-service wealth management firm.

As a former teacher, Stephen took his passion for educating others and adapted it to the financial services industry. His firm's motto, "First Wisdom, Then Wealth," says it all – they're focus is on helping clients achieve financial peace by teaching, not just selling stuff. 

In this episode, you’ll hear how Stephen shifted careers and built his own RIA from the ground up – including the major pivots he had to make in order to properly scale the business. 

What I love about Stephen’s story is his willingness to evolve and adapt. Even after building his firm for 15+ years, he had the humility to let go of what wasn’t working and completely restructure how he was building the business. 

3 of the biggest insights from Stephen Stricklin…

• How Stephen borrowed Dave Ramsey’s platform (and other people’s programs), to build an audience and business from scratch – and the importance of diversifying your marketing funnel to reduce the risk of your prospect pipeline drying up.

• Stephen had built a team that wasn’t aligned or moving together in the same direction. Find out how he completely restructured the company, built a collective vision, and created a business that could finally scale. 

• Learn to use Champagne Moments in your business to uncover your team’s personal and professional goals – so you can hold them accountable, help them succeed, and create meaningful experiences that they’ll never forget.
