This is the first episode of EvolutionFM, a new show exploring the evolution of consciousness in modern times. We cover what the show will be about as well as a bit of my experience in my own journey up to this point.

We brought back the podcast for a special episode with my buddy Ryan Denehy. Ryan is the Co-Founder of Swarm Mobile which was acquired by Groupon and one of the hardest working guys I know. In this episode, we chat about what it takes to be sucessful and how you can engineer your life to get the results you want for your life and business. If you're not there today, that's okay because this is a PROCESS, not an overnight switch. We chat about habits, routines, and attitude which made me super fired up about this episode!

Brothers Ilan and Guy Ferdman come on the show to share how they've relied upon being super intentional about what they choose to focus on to quickly go from starting a business to some of the most pre-eminent facebook marketers in their space. We'll talk about the even bigger vision they have and how they plan on getting there along the way. These guys are full of energy, wisdom, and enthusiam which makes for an awesome episode.

Ben Greenfield drops some serious knowledge in this episode. We chat about everything from building muscle while burning fat, to wine and coffee intake. In terms of peak health and performance, Ben is an absolute machine which really shines through in this episode. He also is a great entrepreneur which we touch upon as well!

Peter Shankman comes on the show to discuss his new book Zombie Loyalists and the power of providing an incredible experience for customers. Peter's been known as a marketing thought leader even before he founded HARO and that shines through in this episode. We talk about a host different marketing tactics especially how to really activate customers to spread WOM using great service. This was a fun episode!

Ryan Coisson comes on the show to talk about the biggest opportunity in ecommerce and how he's built a booming business abroad. In just a few short years, Ryan has launched over 40 ecommerce brands that do over 7 figures a month. Even more impressive, Ryan has built a team of over 40 employees abroad in the Philippines that run his business while he lives and travels around. We'll dive deep into the mindsets, tactics, and processes that make this possible!

A few months ago I had this crazy idea for a workout that incorporated many of the habits that make me feel empowered and push me to heightened levels of motivation and achievement. I have continued to develop this concept which is now called Peak State and in this episode you'll get a full background on the story, workouts, and where this project is going. I think its pretty cool and have yet to see anything out there like it. Take a listen and let me know what you think!

There has been a plethora of exciting startups who are innovating on painful buying experiences while championing what has been popularly known as the direct to consumer model. Today we're fortunate enough to have one of the most exciting companies in the space Casper. Casper Co-Founder Philip Krim comes on the show to talk about building the company as well as how we can be thinking about this new category of ecommerce. These guys did over a million in revenue in their first month and have only grown since then so there is definitely a thing or two to be learned from their journey so far.

Matt Ellsworth is our guest today. The guy is a total stud and in this interview we're going to start by talking about how using a combination of scraping, vritual assistants, and cold emails he built a massive lead generation machine at his last startup storefront. So much so that his outsourced team was sending out thousands of targeted, personalized emails a week while his interal sales team could focus on responding to warm leads. But this convo isn't just all about startups...despite seemingly being on top of the world as a preeminent Growth guy in Silicon Valley, Matt left his last company to pursue standup comedy and focus on some others. We'll talk about how he thought about pursuing a different type of dream when everyone around him expected him to do more startup stuff. Super inspiring stuff.
