For this episode, we speak with Jesse Elder who describes himself as "an improve action philosopher who does his own stunts." I caught up with Jesse on one of the first legs of his Release Tour in Seattle.

We explore the unconventional way in which Jesse went about the tour, how he got to where he is today and how he processes pain and all the bad shit that goes on in the world.

We also visit with a few people who have received coaching from Jesse and were involved in the Seattle event.

On FUELRADIO.com we have being telling the stories of coaches, mentors, and spiritual directors and the people they work with. Last week we released the story about Bensung Sung and Dan Lok called Moms, Mentors and Making Millions. To produce these interviews I interview each person separately. To create a story I have to cut a lot of what each person says. Dan said a lot of helpful and insightful things, so I thought I would release an unedited version of his interview.

Dan The Man Lok - Here is Dan's bio from his LinkedIn profile:

"I came to Canada at the age fourteen with little knowledge of English, no contacts and no money.

"I started my first business when I was in high school.

"My early career was marked by adversity and struggle. I got my first job when I was 16. I was a grocery bagger at a local supermarket, making minimum wage and barely making ends meet.

"That was the one and only job I ever had. For most of my life, I've been a consummate deal maker and a passionate entrepreneur.

"It's not simply because I enjoy starting and building businesses, but because of my character traits, as I believe that being an entrepreneur is a part of my genetic makeup.

"I've made millions of dollars and I've lost millions of dollars. What kept me on track through all of the chaos and a can-do attitude, approaching every challenge with the motto, "TAKE MASSIVE ACTION!"

"I consider myself a serial entrepreneur. I have been fortune enough to start, run and turnaround a dozen companies. Now in my spare time, I mentor a select group of entrepreneurs,­ helping them profit wildly while making a difference in the world."

A bit of a disclaimer...

I (Rod) am a big believer in the power of coaching, mentors and direction. I do agree that coaches should "walk their talk" i.e. businesses coaches better be running, or have run a successful business if they are going to give business advice. At the same time I believe that the best form of coaching holds the coachee capable of coming up with the answers to their own challenges and that a coach can help facilitate that discovery whether or not they are an expert in a particular field. For me, it's a case of "both, and."

Thanks for listening!

Both Dan Lok and Benson Sung have many similarities. They are both the children of immigrants to North America. Both Dan and Benson tried and failed several times over at starting their own businesses and they both sought out and found mentors who helped them immensely.

Dan now makes millions per year and as you'll hear in the interview, after just two short years of working with Dan, Benson is well on his way to doing the same.

Fred is extremely capable and bright. He rolled up his sleeves and got involved in every area of the business including sales.
