Quin: Welcome, everyone,

to the show. Today, we have a very successful entrepreneur, teacher, lover of

the underdog, a widely unreasonable person and a local marketing hero. With us

today, we have Brian Saemann. How’s it going, Brian?

Brian: It’s going great, Quin.

Thanks so much for having me. I really appreciate it.

Quin: No problem, Brian.

Why are you unreasonable?

Brian: [laughs] Well, I

consider myself pretty unreasonable ’cause I think I’ve taken a bit of

alternative path than most people. The unreasonableness came when I quit my job

Sabah Ali

She’s been featured on TEDx, NBC, CBS, ABC, and much more. She’s a branding and Instagram strategist, bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and the founder of Unforgettable by Sabah. Of course, we have Sabah Ali.

How’s it going, Sabah?

Sabah: Hi, I’m doing

great. Super, super stoked to be on here today.

Quin: Yes, my

pleasure, Sabah. Lately, everywhere I look, it’s like I see you. Like on TV

stations, TEDx, I’ve heard your talk which was fantastic. This was not

overnight, right? You didn’t just go suddenly, now you decided to go on all

these TV stations and all that. How did that happen?

Sabah: Yeah. Yeah.

For sure. Let’s go back a little bit. I actually first got into

entrepreneurship in this creepy world when I was 19 years old. It was funny

because I was in college and at the time, I was interested in entrepreneurship

but by no means did I ever try to start a business, anything. I was a sophomore

at 19 years old and I went to go listen to a speaker just for extra credits for

one of my classes at my university.

Let alone did I know that

he was an entrepreneur building up a business, starting [inaudible 02:13] and

he was supposed to be for insurance. I was like, “It’s super cool. I like

what he’s doing. Let me just learn more about what it is that he’s doing.”

Long story short, I interned with him, got exposed to this entire crazy world

of entrepreneurship, and I started to work alongside his company.

I started to do a lot of

branding, marketing, PR, media, and worked with big influential people like

Kevin Harrington, John Lee Dumas, Jeff Hoffman, and I got to go to all of these

cool events like Red Carpet premiere events and what I was doing was I was

documenting the whole thing on my social media. I was sharing pictures, doing

stories, videos. Let alone back then, I didn’t know I was building a brand as I

was doing it, but I was because I started to brand myself as that college

entrepreneur that was going about and figuring out this creepy world of

entrepreneurship.

Fast forward a little bit,

when I was a junior in college, I said, “Okay, I wanna build up my brand

even more. What can I do to really get myself to the next level?” That’s

when I decided to write a book. I wrote a book and I made it a goal to do it in

30 days about my college journey and principles that I use every single day to

be really successful in the field of entrepreneurship but then also focus as a

Junior college student at the time.

I wrote that book, I hit

bestseller with it, and then I used that to leverage myself to get on different

media features. That was the first thing that really launched my brand. As I

started to do that, I continued to document, share my story, and people start

to follow me and I start to build an audience that way.

Going into my last year of

college, I actually graduated about a year ago now, people try to ask me like,

“How are you building up an audience? You’re doing it so well with intern,

with pictures and videos. Can you help me?” That’s when I started to build

my coaching/consulting business. We’re focusing on teaching people how to use

their story to build up a brand and audience online.

Long story short, I did all that and I realized throughout the entire process that I have a really amazing story. Before I got into entrepreneurship when I was in h...

Aiden Fishbein Producer and Co-host of the Fizzle Show and Blogger at megafisbein.com

“Stay Curious & Challenge Convention”. Aiden Fishbein

Transcript:

Today, we have a very special guest who’s the creative director, author, filmmaker, and agency partner at Vitals Agency. He’s also the producer and co-host of The Fizzle Show. Welcome, everyone, Aiden Fishbein. How’s it going, Aiden?

Aiden: It’s pretty good, man. Nice

to be here.

Quin: I gave everybody a quick introduction to you. Tell us basically who you are and what’s your story as a person.

Aiden: Well, it’s a long one as

most stories are typically for people. I’m definitely an all-over-the-place

kind of guy. I have a lot of passions. Obviously, my title’s gave you a little

hint that I have many different things that I enjoy, I do many different things

for clients at my agency. As a result, I’ve had to learn a lot of things which

makes me qualified, I guess, to help other people build their businesses.

That’s how I give back to the entrepreneurial community and sharing that stuff with people on The Fizzle Show. That’s my life story. It’s being very interested in lots of different things, not knowing exactly what to focus on. Dabbling here, dabbling there. Also, back and forth between technical and creative stuff, so it wasn’t just always artistic filmmaking, writing, stuff like that, it’s always been technical, too. I was drawing the math and chest and strategy, and all that.

Aiden: No. That was the kid thing.

There’s a lot in the middle that is probably just more the same. When I started

realizing that I needed to earn a living, those were the first kinds of things

that I dipped my toe back into, and it just so happened that, yeah, I could

actually just ground some sense together doing some creative stuff. Marketing

started entering the picture, and you could do some creative marketing and

strategic branding.

Long story short, worked for some people, some creative professionals. Some of them were out of their minds, some of them were brilliant. [laughs] Some of them were out of their minds and brilliant. [laughs] Yeah, learning from those people, sticking close to those people, and eventually starting to freelance on my own and I built a business with a partner. That’s actually the shortest little nutshell story I’ve ever given after re-listen to this episode. [laughs] [inaudible 03:33] do it again.

Quin: I don’t know if you’ve ever

searched yourself on Google.

Aiden: All day, everyday.

Quin: Do you really?

Aiden: [laughs] No. Not really.

It’s been a little while. Maybe I should do it, dude. [laughs]

Quin: When you do search, it shows

up on one of them, somewhere in the first page it says, “Known for movie Nightmare

Alley.”

Aiden: Oh, man.

Quin: That’s a 2010 movie. What

did you do there?

Aiden: That’s kind of a hilarious

story. Nightmare Alley  was one of

many really, really, awful horror movies that I was making back in the early

2000’s. Some of the most fun, creative projects that I’ve ever done. Also, for

me, that was all free. Everything was free. All the actors were unpaid actors.

But at one point in time, I

think it was in Nightmare Alley,

Today, we have a special

guest who is recognized as one of the top customer generators in the world

specializing in financial services.

He was recently featured alongside Snapchat founder, Evan Spiegel, as one of

the entrepreneurs changing the world.

Today’s guest is Anthony Sarandrea.

Anthony, how’s it going?

Anthony: How are you, brother? I’m

doing great.

Quin: Good. You got me a little

bit tounge-twisted there. [laughs]

All good.

Tell us a bit about yourself, who you are before we jump into this. Who’s

Anthony as a person?

Anthony: Sure. We run one of the

largest financial services companies in the world, customer generator.

We get millions through our site per month and actually help them save money

their finances.

The consumer will come to us and ask about credit card debt or student loan

debt, and we help place them in programs that help them save money on their

monthly bills and things like that.

Nobody comes to us and pays

more for our services. We make a percentage of what we save people.

It’s very much a non-profit model. It’s not a non-profit but it’s very much

small to be on the same side as the consumers where they don’t pay anything

until they’re actually saving money on their monthly bills.

It generally starts with credit card debt, student loan debt, and things like

that.

Quin: Wow. Basically, that is one

of those deals that you can’t say no to. You’re only gonna charge a percentage

of what you can save somebody.

Anthony: That’s right. You got it.

Quin: Wow. Where do we find those

services?

Anthony: At Usedavid.com. It’s fair

much our target market are very much Christians-based, so it’s a David versus

Goliath play, the Big Bang, or [inaudible 03:02] Goliath and we’re David.

[inaudible 03:05]

back in consumers’ hands to really have a fighting chance,

not get gouged by these interest rates, penalties and fees that, then a lot of

these predatory credit card companies are imposed on Americans.
