On the show, we've asked several of ours guests a particular question when we know they've had the answer. And that question is simply this "How did you get on TV?"Interestingly, there's been a few different answers. But the one thing which was common between all of them was that they had a compelling story. The other part was that they networked into the spot.Now, I get what that means. It means that you either found someone you knew who knew the person you were trying to connect with. Or, you randomly connected with someone who could get you on. One's a little more intentional, however, both have the same result.However, what if you don't know where to start in doing that? Sure, there's courses that can teach you how to network with the right people. But wouldn't it be easier if you could just reach out to someone who could help?If you believe you're looking for that kind of person, then today's guest is someone you should connect with.Sabrina Santucci has the network and the skillset to help you on local TV and potentially help you go national. As she says, there's different strategies for each.Listen in as Veronica and I learn more about the key things we need to keep in mind as we look to get on TV.Enjoy!

In the last session, I brought up the books Key Person of Influence and OverSubscribed both written by Daniel Priestley and one thing that these books have made is that the dream of the solopreneur is a pipedream. In fact, as a business owner, we need to seek collaborative teamwork as soon as possible.And, as I've been telling people in my day to day life, I think these books are as vital to someone's success as an entrepreneur as Rich Dad, Poor Dad and The E-Myth Revisited are. Sure, you can go without reading any of these books... but I highly suggest you don't pass them over.For the longest time, today's guest might have been considered the Ultimate Warrior of Solopreneurship. In fact, for much of its history, Smart Passive Income (SPI) featured Pat Flynn as the Crash Test Dummy of Online Business. And if he could start a six figure passive income business on his own, anyone could.But here's the thing. For several years now, he's been part of a team. Sure, he's been the head of creative at SPI, but he's been part of a team.And I have to admit, when that transition happened out of the blue, I (and I'm sure plenty of others) felt left behind.But as you'll hear, when he joined forces with Matt Garland and his team, things completely changed. The power of collaborative teamwork began changing his business and his life.Listen in as Veronica and I hear about his Pat his journey of leaving the legend of the great solopreneur behind to join his own team of Avengers.I think it's a lesson we all have to hear moving forward.Enjoy!

A couple of books I've been reading recently are essentially about finding inner peace as a business owner. One is called Key Person of Influence, and the other is called OverSubscribed both by Daniel Priestley. One's about becoming someone who creates opportunities in life through relationships while the other is about making you and your brand something so desired that there's a waiting list. How are they about inner peace? Well, both of them are books essentially about anti-hustle. They're books about working smarter, not harder. (They're also both available on Scribed).So many of us are used to working harder in our lives that we forget the price that we pay to do so.I know I have. And I've realized that pushing the capacity of myself wasn't really getting me further along. In fact, it was ruining not only my relationships but also my own physical wellbeing.I first started on this path of discovery when I met this session's guest, Kira Leskew in the summer of 2020. And while I was still trying to figure out what my next steps were, I was also trying to carry on all the other things that I was already doing.After working with her for a few months to learn about Pranayama last fall, I have continued to use it and other tools to get the weight of the world off my shoulders.I've realized (and I continue to realize) people who get to where many of us want to be - they don't overwork themselves. In fact, according to Key Person of Influence, they do just the opposite.In this episode, and as we close out season 5, I wanted to have Kira on to share with you some of the insight I've learned during this Pandemic stricken year. It really did allow me to slow down so I could speed up.Listen in as she shares with us some of her thoughts on anti-hustle, being present, and keeping yourself from burning out.Enjoy!

* How did Kira get into teaching others about meditation? 14:03* What was the critical moment that made Kira consider meditation? 15:32* How did she realize that others would be interested in the same realizations she's had? 20:25* A lot of times, business owners find themselves in the weeds of the business. How can they raise themselves up to see the bigger picture more frequently? 27:31* For people who have problems actually getting into meditation, what would Kira recommend to people to finally make it happen? 30:37* How is she addressing all the burnout that's going on due to the pandemic? 36:01* How can business leaders who feel pulled in many directions be able to reset themselves? 39:30* What's Kira excited about in the coming year? 47:31* Who are three influencers who helped Kira get to where she's at today? 49:18* If she could ask anyone living or dead a question, who and what would it be? 50:09* What's something Kira thinks is going to affect entrepreneurship in the future she's excited about? 51:08* In the last 5 years, what new belief, behavior, or habit has most improved Kira's life? 51:35* What's it mean to live a life of abundance? 53:43

Kira Leskew – Taking a Step Back to See the Big Picture: Finding Inner Peace in a World of Chronic Hustle and Burnout (AoL 199)






One of the things I've learned in the last 10 years (and even more so since the start of the pandemic) is many of us, including myself at times, ask if we're worthy enough to level up and start living our dream. Scratch that - OUR DREAMS.See, here's the thing. Society has told us what's important and that's the magic dollar bill. How you get it is secondary to actually getting it. Because so many people focus on the end destination (which, hint... there is no end destination), it really doesn't matter how you get the result.However, what I've learned along the way is that if you can tap into your true self and do work that has meaning to you and/or you finding fascinating, then the sky's the limit.That was true for this session's guest, Jerome Myers.



As he tells it in this chat, while he was in college he realized that there are easier ways to earn income than trading time for money. In particular, he learned that multi-family housing can be particularly lucrative.More so, he realized that when he "figured it out" that others need to know how to get free from the Matrix and live their dreams as well.Listen in as he shares with us some of his thoughts on steps to finding our true selves and how we can make sure we don't live a nightmare of constantly trying to do it with little luck.Enjoy!

Jerome Myers – Discovering Your True Self: How To Allow Yourself to Start Living Your Dream (AoL 198)






Often when we think about making millions of dollars, they think of three things. Primarily those things include building a business to a particular revenue level, creating a portfolio of real estate, or getting lucky in the stock market. That last one has always been something that I've struggled to believe - that you had to have luck to find the right top stock picks.Back in session 182, we learned from Jason Brown that it's possible to create a predictable revenue stream from stocks. So after hearing that, I did a bit of research. What I came up with was a subscription the Rich Dad Newsletter... but unfortunately, it was simply a way for his publishing company to make $250 off of me while upselling other solutions.It was frustrating to the say the least.However, it wasn't much longer before I met today's guest, Sean Tepper, and my paradigm started to shift.In today's chat, Sean shares with us how he created a platform called TYKR out of a need to develop his own passive income stream. In it we learn that being an angel investor isn't everything it's cracked up to be. And we also hear how, with the use of the platform itself, how we can all build passive income through the magic of compound interest.Enjoy!



SPECIFICALLY, YOU’LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT:



* When Sean was developing a means to create passive income, why did he go with the stock market vs going the real estate route? 13:46* How does playing the stock market actually yield passive income? 16:17* What's some advice Sean has heard in the entrepreneurial space that he believes doesn't work for everyone? 17:57* What are the key features of TYKR? 19:15* How did the journey go for Sean as he was creating the platform? 23:26* How does Sean find great guests for his show? 27:18* Sean has posts about certain stocks on his blog. How much are these posts Sean's insights vs the data that comes from TYKR? 28:59* How much money is a good amount of money to use TYKR effectively at first? 33:01* Why does Sean feel TYKR is a wise move for the novice investor? 33:41* How can entrepreneurs keep themselves from getting hooked on the gambling aspect of playing the market as opposed to a tool for growing lasting wealth? 36:35* What are some of things that TYKR's users can expect to hear from Sean when they first get started? 37:47* What is he looking forward to in his journey through 2021 and beyond? 42:20* What are Sean's top three influential podcasts? 44:05* In the last five years, which behavior or habit has had the most impact on his life? 44:42* If Sean could put any ad out into the world, what would it be? 46:24* What is something most people don't realize is a huge waste of money? 48:25* What's the secret to achieving personal freedom? 49:18

Sean Tepper – The Magic of Compound Interest in Trading: Using SaaS to find Top Stock Picks and Invest Confidently (AoL 197)






For a good majority of the population, an online presentation can be a drag. Reason why is that most people are simply new to doing online business. They simply haven't heard all the tips and tactics which have been discussed in the digital marketing space for the last 10+ years.As of 2020, though, the game has changed. And just like how Facebook was once a place for college students to get together and discuss school and their favorite professors, things have changed for Zoom as well. What was once a platform utilized mainly by podcasters and tech savvy businesses, everyone and their brother is using the platform.However, that doesn't mean that they're doing a great job doing so. In fact, poor presentation skills is nothing new. It's just now being done in a widely used online setting.So in this conversation with our guest, Rich Mulholland, we find out how he's not only been able to help people get better at presentations themselves, but why so many business owners fail to take their business to the next level.It was very interesting and unexpected to Andy and I how these very different topics actually are related.Enjoy!
