Chris Hogan is all about helping the everyday person become financially free and successful. He helps the Dave Ramsey team bring their message of financial hope to millions of people every day. His last book, "Retire Inspired" delivered an inspirational game plan for retirement. I had a blast talking with Chris about his new book, "Everyday Millionaires".

This book is all about how "everyday" people become millionaires. He and his team surveyed thousands of people with a net worth of 1 million dollars or more to find out what they're doing right. Chris highlights the most common attributes among these millionaires and explains the major activities that they're doing to build their wealth.

We also talked entrepreneurship and how the principles of his book apply to you, the entrepreneur.

Eric Steen happens to be my brother-in-law, but he certainly makes for an interesting guest. And don't worry, Eric. I don't mean "interesting" like when you want to say "weird", but you insert the word interesting in order to sound polite. He really is one of the most interesting people I've ever met.

Eric is full of original ideas and creativity. But the unique thing about Eric is that he has this special ability to turn his ideas into a reality. He's an artist through and through, from the tip of his bicycle tire marked shoes to his stylish, but not too trendy hair. I don't know if the stereotype that artists are so eccentric that they end up starving is not true or if Eric is the exception. Either way, he's able to channel his creative ideas into something that the community can really engage with and participate in.

And I wouldn't say he's just an artist, but I like to think of him as an entrepreneurial artist.

He's the marketing director for Hopworks Urban Brewery in Portland, OR, has spent several years as an educator and has many of his own projects going at any given time. One of those is Beers Made By Walking, a program that invites brewers to make beer inspired by nature hikes and urban walks.

I had a blast talking with Eric about his

Creative process as an artist

Beers Made by Walking project

Perspective on Entrepreneurship

Zine writing days back in high school

And the dynamics of working a day job while having several of own projects at the same time

I always love talking with Eric and I know you're going to get a ton out of this week's episode. Enjoy!

Bianca Bishop dominates. Pure and simple. Since our interview, she hit "gold status" as a rep for Young Living Essential Oils, which I'm told is A BiG DEAL. Nice work, Bianca!

When's she's not slinging oils and other wellness products, she's going around being awesome. Ok, that was a little vague, but to paint a clearer picture, she's like the BOSS MOM of a boss moms, except she's not a grandma and has two adventurous boys... ok, I'm not even sure what that means...

Anyway, I had a ton of fun talking with Bianca about what it's really like working in the network marketing space. Don't worry! That scene from the "Office" came up in our conversation when Michael is lured into a Pyramid Scheme.

I loved getting her perspective on entrepreneurship and I really appreciated what she brought to the table. This was a fun and insightful interview and I'm excited for all of you to give it a listen!

Chris Gniffke is a DJ, family man, and has some great thoughts on entrepreneurship. I had a blast talking with Chris about how he got into the DJ business here on Maui. This guy is full of life and it really came through in our conversation. We touched on some great topics that are noteworthy for any entrepreneur, especially for those who are just starting out.

Here are a few things that Chris shared in our conversation:

How sometimes others can spot our talents before we can

How he's not defined by entrepreneurship alone

How you should take the time to write down your 3-year plan

And how you should really know yourself before you keep moving forward

This was a good one, guys! I hope you're as inspired as I was after you hear from Chris.
