HOT TOPICS OF THE EPISODE 

[01:56] - Monique introduces her guest, John Marrone.

[02:34] - Tell everyone a little bit about you.

• I'm a transformational coach as well as a transformational speaker.
• I give actionable tools to start creating the ultimate version of that person so they could design a life they always wanted to live.

[05:15] - Tell me what is your version of the motivation turning that into inspiration and then into transformation with your clients.

• It starts with the reason.
• Motivation is temporary, inspiration lasts a little bit longer, but your “WHY” is the whole thing that keeps you going.

[09:26] - When was the first time in your life that kind of like your alarm went off and did you listen to it?

• Choose where you're at now as the bottom and never going any further and use that as your platform to go ahead and expedite everything you're doing to get the results you want.

[20:26] - Why do you think you got addicted? Why do you think you got to the point to jail? Why do you think you ended up in that house with Hurricane Sandy when everybody else may be left? Why do you think you ended up there?

• I try to fit in everywhere because I think I was trying to be accepted. And so that became an addiction to become accepted.
• And going back to Hurricane Sandy, the label was like, I'm invincible.

[25:25] - Why did ending up in jail not change anything for you but the hurricane did?

• I just spent six months on house arrest like nothing's changed. And then I met my wife.
• When Hurricane Sandy came, and I thought I was gonna die. I realized it could be gone like that.
• I realized life is so precious.

[35:50] - So how does this control part show up for you?

• Either you want to control or you want fulfillment. You can't have both. 

[44:15] -  If you have someone who's struggling with knowing who they are and trying to fit in, how would you tell them how to take off their masks without worrying that they're not accepted or they don't belong?

• The first step is you got to know who you are. 
• You can't be everything to everyone.
• Care about what the right people think.
• The hardest thing to do is to be authentically you.

[51:35] - Besides all of the titles, in one sentence, who is John Marrone?

• Somebody who realizes that his past doesn't determine his future, somebody who wants to create the ultimate version of himself and his life he always wants to live while doing it to the masses and helping others.

[58:30] - What does efficiency mean to you?

• Efficiency means to me daily progression.

[59:51] - If you had to start all over again, which of the three things would you keep doing to get where you are today?

• Number one is perspective. 
• Number two is massive self-awareness.
• And three, be grateful for where you're at and then get comfortable being uncomfortable.

Dane is regarded by others as one of the top copywriters and watched by over 1.5 million people across the globe. He’s also previously been a bodybuilding competitor and is the author of 4 books.

In today’s episode, Dane and Monique are talking about why you should start any type of work by finding the principles behind it and not starting to work on the tactics.  This also lead Dane to be able to learn any skill in a very short time.  

HOT TOPICS OF THE EPISODE 

[02:08] - Monique introduces her guest, Dane Knighton.

[02:22] - Tell everyone who are you? What are you doing and why you're doing it?

• I guess I self identify more as a copywriter as a skill. I prefer to do strategic partnerships because it's beneficial for both parties.

[03:09] - So how did you get into copywriting?

• I was doing loads of content for fitness YouTube videos.
• I couldn't sell at all. So that's how I started to learn to Copywrite.

[05:10] - So first of all, what does that have to do with your acne picture on the website?

• I guess the acne pitch has more to do with the fitness content.
• 
  

[05:41] - After you started learning how to write copy, did you ever get to the point where you had to think about whether you're persuading someone or you're manipulating someone?

• It goes back to the principle of selling them what they want, give them what they need.

[06:54] - So as a woman, how do I sell them fake tits and If I don't have them, what do I give them then?

• It depends on what kind of sexuality.

[07:56] - Do you make a difference between persuasion and manipulation? And if so when do you use which? And if you don't make it, why not?

[12:58] - So how did you find what's important for you and how did you get to the point to actually follow that?

• My purpose is just giving back.

[15:49] - So when you first started learning copywriting and diving into it, where did you start?

• Always start with principles.
• Reverse engineer.

[19:40] - How do I know I'm on the right track?

• The first stage is awareness
• It's good to learn from your mistakes, but it's even better to learn from other people's mistakes.
• Get the right mentor.

[41:45] - What is your favorite type of copy to write?

• I'd say long-form.

[46:59] - So how do you create this bond?

• The way you create a bond is through content and it's a free story.

[48:08] - What is the number one favorite story that you will always remember that wasn't yours?

• Think and Grow Rich book.

[52:58] - What does efficiency actually means to you?

• Get better quality done in less time.

[54:51] - Is there anything that you do for yourself to help you stay productive while you're writing?

• This is a quote that relates well to that question “The may consciousness of engagement, or sometimes worry a whole day.”

[57:52] - Tell me three things that looking back at your career, you would consistently repeat again because these were the most important thing for you to get where you are today.

• Effort
• Principles
• Action

[09:28] - What do you think are the characteristics that make millennials so different from the generations before?

• I think Millennials are definitely much more attracted to working for organizations that are making a difference already.

• I was experiencing what I want to call the intergenerational conflict in the workplace. 

[34:52] - How did you get into the burnout and how did it feel for you?

• I became really rundown, constant sickness, I had no social life.

[38:30] - What did you do to admit and acknowledge this mindset shift out of like “I literally have to stop being on this GO GO GO mentality”?

• I guess from a step by step point of view:
• What is actually a priority and why is it a priority?
• Why am I doing what I'm doing?
• If it's not for you, then don't do it.

[48:29] - How do you define efficiency?

• Efficiency is just doing the best that I can do in what I do and getting things done that I want to do.

[48:46] - Which would be the top three things that you would always repeat?

• I think going back to what I was saying before:
• Time management.
• Realistic expectations.
• Learning how to manifest what you want and work with energy.

• So I am an actor and a writer living in Los Angeles, California.
• I am also an entrepreneur.
• I have a business called Crushing It On Camera where I teach entrepreneurs how to be awesome on camera. 

[05:10] - How did you split your time between being an actress, an author, and your business?

• Even if your career is going really well there's typically a need to have some other income involved.
• It gave me an amazing opportunity to start my business, I'm really passionate about it because I'm able to do what I love.

[07:21] - How did you work with the things you planned and then suddenly you get a call for a casting and then everything is different?

• It's challenging when it comes up because I just have to totally shift gears and then commit to what's right in front of me.
• It was important not to actually block out every hour of the day because it would be like, too hard to like move things around.

[10:57] - During our work, what did we figure out about health issues and how were we able to integrate them as well?

[15:53] - Monique and Abby talk about hiring and delegating.

[23:14] - How do you show up yourself on camera when you actually don't feel like you’re 100%?

• The motivation that I need is like focusing on the value that I'm going to give or the impact that I'm going to have like trying to take the focus off of myself and how I'm feeling and on, the purpose of what I'm doing, that helps motivate me more.

[27:48] - Should you actually show up at all if you really don't feel like it or should you look back on what actually happened and show up afterward?

• I do think we have to put our self-care first. And sometimes that means we need to have the internet off and our phones away, and we just need time for ourselves to heal. 

[34:36] - So tell me about your program, Crushing It On Camera, what is the essence of entrepreneurs and business owners usually go wrong?

• People just don't prepare that they want it to come across like they're doing it on the fly and it's natural and conversational, but then they don't even do any preparation.

Ray has bootstrapped multiple 6 and 7-figure businesses. For the last 5 years, he has been able to run 3-5 businesses at the same time all while having free time to spend. The "secret" to how he had been efficient enough to do all of this is simply discipline.

Ray owns a website called livelingua.com, which is the third-largest online language school in the world.

In today’s episode, Ray and Monique are talking about how he flipped his definition of failure: “Failing is not when a business doesn't work or doesn't make money, failure is when you stopped trying. And if you never stopped trying, you will never fail.” which enabled him to make building businesses his art. 

HOT TOPICS OF THE EPISODE 

[02:04] - Monique introduces her guest, Mr.Ray Blakney.

[02:21] - Explain everyone out there what the sword fighting is.

• I've been practicing the Japanese martial art called kendo for going on dating myself back for about 20 years now. So kendo is the way of the sword and I have been practicing it since I was 22.

[04:00] - Tell me when you're not sword fighting, what else are you doing in your business?

• I own a website called livelingua.com. It's the third-largest online language school in the world and I run it with my wife.
• I own a website called toeducate.com
• I also owned a chocolate factory in the Philippines before 
• I am the host of the Anomalous Educator Podcast which helps teachers make money online.

[05:26] - Starting businesses and making them successful is a kind of art for you, explain a little bit about that.

• The creative process is what I like because you get to try things, you get to see what works what doesn't and you get to go back and fix it.

[10:16] - So when you bootstrap a company, how do you approach everything from the get-go? 

• I'm not creating something that nobody's ever thought of before, like Steve Jobs, or Elon Musk, or all those people out there.
• For launching businesses, see a need, check that there's a need, confirm there's a need and then just do it.
• 
  

[14:10] - How did you get to the point of having this mindset of “failure is not a total failure, I always get something out of it.”

• I flipped my definition of failure. Failing is not when a business doesn't work or doesn't make money, failures when I stopped trying. And if I never stopped trying, I never failed.

[15:32] - How did you approach your new content marketing strategy?

• I put Comic Sans and made the whole presentation like a comic book.
• And to my surprise, half the room came up to me with this marketing methodology that we use in my companies and said. “Can you do that for us?”
• So that planted the seed for the agency

[29:40] - So how important do you think is research in the beginning before you even start putting out content, writing content for clients?

• It's like any other construction, right? You can put a beautiful house on it. But if the base is bad, it's going to crumble in a year or two. And we need to do that for your business as well.

[31:31] - Do you think that a lot of entrepreneurs that they're going wrong with the research or not even doing it or don't know how to do research for their business?

• I think most advanced entrepreneurs might do that because they've learned the value in it. 

[33:03] - If you're starting a new business, do you ask audiences some questions? Do you, like to use the Ask method? Do you use like only the keyword research? What do you use?

• I generally stick with keyword research because I assume I use a little bit of the Ask method now because I do have a network and audiences I can do it for.

[35:59] - After the research how do you think should entrepreneurs use the results?

•  The research should help you find who your audience is.

[38:52] - What actually makes you efficient in a discipline?

• I developed discipline kind of later in life.
• Discipline is what gives me freedom.

[42:44] - You said you use the discipline to be very self-driven. But you don't believe in working, what your passion is.

• I think people confuse passion with their why.
• If you did a good job and figure out what your why is. That's enough for you to at least take one step towards it that day.

[46:03] - So how important is efficiency to you now that you have multiple businesses?

• Discipline is key to me be able to do what I'm doing.
• I use an app called wunderlist.

[51:14] - What does efficiency mean to you?

• Efficiency is just getting as close to that goal as I can today.

[52:01] - What are the top three tips for starting a business?

• The first one is research.
• Make sure you plan that you have the time to do this business.
• A final tip would be “just do it.”

Amar Ghose is the CEO and co-founder of ZenMaid.com, a bootstrapped SaaS company on track to earn over $1 million in 2020. He accomplished this while traveling the world since 2015 and shares online regularly about entrepreneurship, marketing, and lifestyle design.

What he makes him unique is how he found various ways to turn his perceived weaknesses into strengths.

HOT TOPICS OF THE EPISODE 

[03:11] - Monique welcomes her guest, Amar Ghose.

[03:26] - Tell everyone first what you are actually doing and why?

• I am a digital nomad
• CEO and co-founder of a very niche software called Zenmaid.
• I'm still living the same lifestyle, which means we don't have an office. Everyone is 100% remote

[05:19] - Tell us a little bit about how you started the company?

• So where the idea came from was I have run my own maid service back in 2012. I ran it for just over a year. And that was after reading a random blog post about how to start your own maid service.

[09:11] - I know there were a lot of things that didn't go the way you wanted to. So tell me what was the plan? What went wrong?

• We've been working with a product that my initial co-founder had built almost seven years ago. And it was very clear that we were going to rebuild the product from scratch
• I would say it took over close to a year to really rebuild the product and to redesign everything. 

[20:59] - What was your reaction?

• Fran will tell you how weirdly calm I was as I was describing the situation.

[25:15] - So do you remember at what time in your life you got to the point of being like “I gotta leave this shit behind”.

• I've been practicing that for like, for some time of just focusing on what's within my control

[27:48] - Did the team actually stick with you or did someone fall behind?

• I believe that every single person that was on the team when we took that redesign live, is still on the team.

[29:43] - What did you do to support the team to build the culture?

• I definitely have not been very intentional about this.
• But I feel like as an extrovert, I don't really feel like I ever really had to focus or worry about culture.

[34:24] - What would you say about the number of people that are with you full time and how many of them are entrepreneurs?

• So we have four people on our sales team, and all four of them own their own maid services that use Zenmaid every single day. So I don’t have to train them up to be salespeople.

[37:48] - Why do you hire your own customers?

• It does work out well though, eg. with maid service owners
• A lot of them would be happy to take a consistent two or four hours a day, where they just know they're getting a consistent paycheck.

[43:33] - Tell me about how you manage your time throughout these past seven years

• I've essentially just always focused on consistent action.
• But my main thing in terms of management is environment control.

[46:19] - How about combining traveling and work?

• I only work for maybe three to four hours a day
• In terms of travel, I essentially have like the same set of habits, but how they sort of fall into place or fall into my schedule changes based on where I am.

[50:22] - What do you think efficiency means to you?

• Efficiency to me is is essentially finding your personal best path to achieve your goals.

[53:52] - What are the top three skills or characteristics that you wouldn’t want to miss to achieve your goals?

• I think that every single entrepreneur on the planet should study copywriting.
• If you're getting into entrepreneurship because you think that it's going to be easy and that you're just going to get to do all of the things that you love and nothing else, then you probably need a bit of a wake-up call.
• Enjoy the journey or like surround yourself with people that you love.

Meet the young man who owns a marketing company, is a life coach, business consultant and so much more. Kyree Oliver started in 2013 and didn't have any idea about what a podcast is all about. All he wanted to do, was impacting people. So he started asking people in his nuclear environment and beyond, to talk to him. He interviewed them on all kinda topics, in order to understand the quest of life a bit more. First, Kyree started with his friends, uncles, and slowly moved to interviewing doctors, lawyer, monks and even death row inmates. In today’s episode Monique and Kyree talk about how he gave himself an opportunity to pull from multiple different sources as a role model and how he now uses this knowledge to impact people on the daily.

HOT TOPICS OF THE EPISODE

[01:56] - Monique welcomes her guest, Kyree Oliver

[02:04] - Tell us a little bit about your background.

• I'm from California
• I own a marketing company. I do sort of life coaching. I do business consulting for people
• 
  

[03:35] - How did you get to the point of being able to communicate calmly, but also to just give space to all of these different perspectives?

• I think it was detaching myself from other people's perspectives. Like, they don't need to think the way that I think in order for me to think the way that I think.
• 
  

[06:00] - Where does that come from? Why would we want to influence other people's opinions so much?

• All of us think that if more people thought like us, the world would be a better place. I think everybody thinks that
• 
  

[07:19] - How would you take steps to the detachment of other people's opinions?

• I don't think I'd say anything to those people. Our perspective isn't the same
• 
  

[09:09] - How do you navigate the in-between of like voicing your opinion without discriminating against other people?

• My job is to make as compelling a case as possible for people to either agree with the way that I think or figure out a better way to think about that same topic.
• 
  

[11:39] - How did you get into like, being so focused on this topic (masculinity), and why is it so important that we are talking about it?

• So I think that no matter who we are as people, no matter what group we belong to, what country you're from, I think we're all led by masculine and feminine energy
• 
  

[12:50] - Did you have the role models that you needed as a child?

• I had multiple role models.
• And by me not having that (father figure), it gave me an opportunity to pull from multiple different sources.
• 
  

[13:49] - Can you give me a rough picture of what masculinity looks like to you?

• Three pillars

1. A soft heart is your empathy.
2. Thick skin is your emotional intelligence.
3. The hard head is your grit determination.

[16:06] - How did you learn all of these things and then adapting it to your own version.

• I think I just started piecing information together and I started seeing trends.
• 
  

[17:44] - How did you conduct these 800+ interviews and how did you get people to speak to you?

• I just started asking the people around me I started asking co-workers, family, friends, and it kind of just grew from there
• I've interviewed almost any type of person you can think of.
• 
  

[19:00] - What stuck out to you when you interviewed all of them?

• I genuinely just listened to people for who they were and what their experiences were.
• 
  

[20:22] - What made the difference for you when you switched over from work first to basically life first?

• I learned how I'm supposed to set my life up before it needed to be set up that way.
• 
  

[23:46] - I want to know if you have any dating efficiency tips?

• The people who are most skeptical about it, they see it as a waste of time. They're usually people who aren't very good at it. And often they're not very good at it. Because they haven't put a whole lot of time in developing themselves to be the right person to do it.
• 
  

[26:29] - How can they find out about it?

• It's all asking yourself those difficult questions.
• And I think you can do to dig until you come up with an answer
• 
  

[28:22] - How do you make sure you don't have to be just one thing and you're good at advertising and life coaching?

• Commitment to being a well-rounded person is probably the biggest thing.
• 
  

[29:40] - Monique talks about Ikigai.

• The Japanese concept of combining the thing that you're really good at was the thing that you're really passionate at was the thing that you can make money off into your life's purpose
• 
  

[31:14] - How do you assess the person itself and not what they were doing?

• I start forming my opinion or informing my opinion just based on how I watch them interact with themselves and the world around them.
• 
  

[32:05] - Is it more important for you of how people act or how they speak?

• Both are very important.
• 
  

[32:27] - What would you tell to influence a million people right in front of you?

• Probably it would be just sort of generic advice of finding what's right for you and chasing what that is
• 
  

[34:14] - Is there a specific routine to improve yourself?

• I wouldn't say that there's a routine as far as how to change it. It's just a consistent, concerted effort.
• 
  

[35:34] - What does efficiency mean to you, then?

• I would boil it down to the best use of time. And maybe the best use of time is to relax sometimes maybe the best thing is to not do anything.
• 
  

[36:33] - what would be time-wasters for you?

• The time that I spend leading up to what I know I'm supposed to do or what I know, I need to do next.
• 
  

[38:03] - Which would be the top three things that you would suggest anyone doing?

• I'd say getting very clear on what your purpose is as quickly as possible and then designing your life around what that purpose is.
