Let’s welcome Daniel Blue, What’s up Daniel?

Daniel, I want to talk about your company, what it does, and how you achieved such insane growth, but before let’s break down who you are, Let’s hear your story

Ok, let’s talk business:

-You were the VP of sales of iSelfDirect is that the same company that became Quest Education?

why the rebranding?

when you have an existing “somewhat” known brand, Rebranding could be scary because you already have a customer base that knows and trusts you… how well or badly did rebranding go.

Did you receive funding? Are you comfortable disclosing How much funding and when?

Daniel, so the listeners can have an idea of the company’s growth, can you let us know some metrics like company value, revenue, yearly percent growth whatever you can share with us

founded in 2014 made $114K and now around 2.5MM

How big is your team?

What is it about sales that you feel is most important?

What are self-directed retirement accounts?

Why are self-directed retirement accounts important?

Are you the leader at your organization?

How do you see yourself as a leader?

Is balancing entrepreneurship and fatherhood challenging?

How did you become one of the fastest growing companies in the country?

you teach not only business owners but also individuals take control of their retirement plans.

Are these traditional methods or do you have your own methods or systems?

Let’s talk about the issues you had in business, Daniel!

People love talking about overnight success and luck, but I believe we make our own luck and every overnight success is built from a mixture of hard work and failures.

Did everything in Quest Education workout as easy as it may seem to an outsider?

Daniel, My personal opinion is that Society is starved for hope when it comes to financial freedom, so we see everyone is following the exact same gurus who take pics in front of Lambos and Private Jets.

The question is: Could it be that we are all obsessed with the wrong kind of financial motivation because of what we imagine that other people’s lives are like, due to social media?

And is that showoff mentality what is causing the families debt to skyrocket?

What is the number one reason why people are struggling with their finances?

What are your favorite tools to use in business

Quest education can be found at YourQuest.com. is that a fully custom platform or does it run on 3rd party software

Daniel Blue has worked with over 1,200 business owners

Most American’s don’t know what a self-directed retirement account is but Daniel is determined to change that and bring awareness to how beneficial having one can be…

Daniel’s Book Recommendation: Traction book

Dr. Gordon Pedersen: Ph.D. Immunology., Board Certified in Anti Aging and Regenerative Medicine (FAARM), Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine

Doctor Pedersen has work experience with the worlds largest pharmaceutical company (Ciba/Novardis), the worlds largest sports nutrition company (Weider), one of the worlds largest biotechnology companies (Nikken), has co-authored one of the worlds most read books (Chicken Soup for the Enriching Soul), developed and published the mouse model for Influenza prevention, was an expert research and development author for the worlds most read magazine (Muscle and Fitness), served as the master distributor of a major network marketing company, published the cure for Malaria, as he was awarded a distinguished speaker award for his work in special operations medical association.

Doctor Pedersen is an internationally renowned scientist, author, corporate officer, product formulator, and instructor.

He is unique because he combines science and sales in a way that anyone of any background will understand.

He formulates world-class products, expertly documents their benefits, credibly communicates through the use of scientific journals, international best selling books, marketing tools and has been a top executive for the past 19 years.

Doctor Pedersen received his doctorate degree from the Toxicology program at Utah State University, where he received two distinguished service awards and constructed two space shuttle experiments.

In addition he has formulated over 160 nutritional supplements/personal care products.

He was one of the first to publish a double blind placebo controlled study on the benefits of protein supplementation in body builders, where he worked with Arnold Swartzenegger and published his results in muscle and fitness magazine.

He was nominated to Chair the United States Pharmacopoeia Review Board (Natural Products Committee), and he hosted the radio show, Common Sense Medicine with Dr. Pedersen.

He holds a broad spectrum of doctorate degrees giving him one of the most complete educations possible; He is a research doctor ( Ph.D. immunology, biology), a research doctor (Anti-Aging Medicine A4M), has a doctorate in naturopathic medicine, and is a member of Special Operations Medical Association where he was decorated as a distinguished speaker.

This demonstrates his continual desire to learn and serve the medical needs of others.

He has been employed by one of the worlds largest pharmaceutical companies, the worlds’ largest sports nutrition company, the second largest network marketing company, and has formulated hundreds of products including a published cure for malaria.

Even though he has extensive educational credentials he was hired by Nikken as their sales Vice President and routinely outsells existing corporate sales forces due to his background in pharmaceutical sales experience.

His knowledge and wisdom comes from the most well balanced education and experiences and he is different than any other doctor because he is usually the most educated, most experienced and most published doctor who has been the top distributor in a major network marketing company and served as vice president of sales, research and development, education and regularly increases the sales of those he teaches because he believes that “nobody gets paid until someone sells something”.

The something that the world wants to buy is what he researches, formulates, documents and then publicly promotes.

QUIN: Today we have another special guest. She is a US Navy veteran, a speaker, live video marketing expert and the founder of the 5 Minute Lives. With us today, we have Trish Leto.

How’s it going, Trish?

TRISH LETO: Oh that was awesome. Thank you so much. Yes, it is going fantastic. How are you doing today?

QUIN: I’m doing very good. So spring has arrived and how beautiful is it where you are?

TRISH LETO: Oh my god. So I’m in Tampa Florida and the weather is beautiful.

However, with the spring season in Tampa comes like just sheets and sheets of pollen on our cars and in our sinuses.

So my poor children are just like, it’s just mucus everywhere. And as you know, you’ve got little ones as well, when your little kids are running around with like that cold or the allergies whatever, they’re just walking little Petri dishes.

So the weather is lovely but then everybody gets a cold.

QUIN: You know what, that bothers me so much when the little ones are having a hard time breathing.

TRISH LETO: Oh it’s the worst because you like you can’t do anything and they fight you, right? And for me, and my son he wakes and he sneezes and I’m constantly having to wipe his nose. And then, you know the little saline spray that you can put up their nose and like help flush it out. He hates that. He hates it. So yeah we just went directly into parenting life but yeah that’s what’s going on.

QUIN: Very good. Trish, so you’re a US Navy veteran. How long were you in the Navy for?

TRISH LETO: I was in the Navy for 4 years. I was a helicopter mechanic.

QUIN: Really.

TRISH LETO: Yeah, ’96 to 2000.

QUIN: Helicopter mechanic. Nice. So you actually worked on helicopters, fixed them. Hammers and wrenches and all that kind of stuff?

TRISH LETO: Oh yeah, wrenches and hammers and power tools. Yeah. I loved it. I really did. I was a Structural Mechanic, so I did sheet metal repair, fiberglass repair, hydraulic system troubleshooting. But I was a part of a detachment, so it was like all the different MOS’s basically like all different people who you had… I worked with avionics people and the mechanic people and you know, like all different specialties.

So we all kind of work together because you know, one helicopter everything kind of comes together, right. So yeah, three years and then I got out.

QUIN: It’s fantastic that two days, ago I aired a podcast where I interviewed the Crew Chief of the F16 for the US Air Force, Sean Romero. And man, it is so exciting like you guys were working on some equipment that is very expensive and like millions of dollars.

TRISH LETO: Oh my god yeah. Like even the hunks of junk that I worked on, and I have to say it that way because we used to just… I mean, they’re still around too, they’re still flying those things. CH-46 Deltas. I mean it was like $33 Million aircraft. And then not to mention all the tools that went into that too. But yeah I mean, I look back on that and think to myself, “Geez, god almighty. I still can’t believe Uncle Sam put me responsible to work on those things.” But I’m glad he did.

QUIN: You know what’s funny? I find that if army helicopter compared to any other one, it almost sounds as if none of them have exhausts because they’re so loud.

TRISH LETO: Oh my god, they’re so loud. Even the H-60 is like, I worked on CH-46 Deltas, the echoes of the marine helicopters and their engines are a lot bigger because they had to bring like a lot of ammunition and like a lot of troops in there. But whenever I was on a flight deck underway and an H-60 would fly in, the 60 helicopter blades are like twice the width and length of a 46. And I mean they were freakin massive and I loved it. I loved landing an H-60 on my ship. We never had an army helicopter come in because we were so far out at sea like, they’re also land-based for the army. But yeah man, I don’t know. I love hearing the sound of a helicopter fly over like even like the news choppers, even sheriff’s chopper if I see like a chopper flying
