00:30 - Introduction

10:30 - So it's like, I have a book, I want to tell my story. We can actually tell your story in a blog post or a book, but the book obviously has a spine, but it may not sell. Maybe you sell 200 books but you're blocked. Now your post we'll reach 5000. So what do you want to do? If they tell me I'd rather do a book than a blog post, then I know they're doing it for the fame because they want their name on the spine.

20:00 - I remember reading a book a long time ago and it said just put on some lipstick and you'll be fine.

31:10 - It's a brand, the red shield is a brand, the red Cadillac, a Christmas sign, that is all branding. So people who were in the marketing department help further that brand and then people give to that brand.

40:00 - I don't like people spamming my inbox. So let's tell a story instead. That's what sells, you tell and sell but don't blast me. I'm gonna delete you.

53:00 - For the listeners, they don't know that you have a cute little white puppy on your lap. What kind of breed is it again? A Maltese?

59:37 - Final Words

I always tell people, those that show up, go up, meaning, just show up in your life, show up at places when you're invited to different things to show up. Then bring your A-Game, bring your best self, show up to go up.

Don't just be in life where it's just participating but really be intentional about it. Where you are going and who you are meeting matters, if you genuinely liked someone, like, I genuinely like Scott, make sure that you make those personal connections. Social media and all of this technology make it really easy for people to hide. But if you're really real with people let people know that you like them that you appreciate them that, that you promote them, you share with them, and it just works.

00:30 - Introduction

10:00 - I never really took a lot of Tylenol, Aspirin, Advil, and all these brand names of anti-inflammatories that we all just take for granted. The fact that we just keep pumping them down our gullets is not okay. It throws everything off, as you know, 70% of our immune system is in our gut. Our body is dependent on the proper healthy gut biome alignment and the body has to be able to handle anything that comes.

21:30 - The most successful people out there can attest, if you're not embracing change, or remaining open to the influence of possible change for growth, you're not going to grow because you're just staying stagnant. It's like people are going to the MD day after day or week after week getting the same diagnosis. Then it becomes well, we haven't tried this yet, so let's try this drug and then let's try that other drug, etc, etc.

30:00 - The wholistic side is definitely a big part of my business and brand because I believe healing is not just in one area. Chiropractic can't heal everything. It definitely sets the body up for better healing, it can set up the process to happen more optimally than without chiropractic. But there's also the nutritional factor and there is the physical factor the fitness and then definitely there's the mental game where everything happens. First, your mindset and then the spiritual comes in as well. So just being able to be aware of that healing and living holistically unhealthy optimally has a lot of different spectrums to it.

44:00 - I like that broken wing concept. It's something that I guess it's a habit, but the mind is so powerful. It's whatever you say and think that's what's going to happen and especially with your body. I always say when I'm talking in my workshops, there are different areas, your cells are always listening, your whole body, your muscles, to whatever you say.

52:50 - Final Words

Just thinking about Life, you know, holistically, taking it all in and letting it flow. Things have come to you and I believe in that the more that we allow our bodies to heal and you're able to let down resistance, we're able to think more clearly and set clear intentions. Really take care of ourselves in a radical type of way unapologetically. Things will just flow better and we don't have to work as hard to chase as much or worry as much. Life wants to kind of flow for us and to us, so we have to set ourselves up for that.

Another LIVE podcast today from inside my This Old Garage restoration project. Today we talked about Patriotic Entrepreneurship with Dyann and Jason of Skibinski Flag Company upon their delivery of my new Thin Violet Line wooden flags! This is a wife and husband dynamic duo who work the front lines of our respected medical profession. We love sharing the side hustle inspirations that turn entrepreneurial, especially from our local city of Bethlehem from the Great Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania.

1. Nothing comes easy.
2. Learning to work together as married business partners.
3. Life balance from jobs to a side hustle.

00:30 - Introduction

10:00 - Our first flag was April of last year, 2019. Just getting around to a year at this. Not even at a year. You just fire you just finished your hundredth flag. Well, actually I'm actually at 103 right now.

20:30 - We're going to be making the gun concealment flags and tables one day soon too. I made one coffee table that's in our apartment right now. When you're moving into a furniture price, that is another level.

30:00 - I was hoping that was your shop. As soon as I saw that, I was like, look for the flag and you will find me. You have to peer through my patriotism to get into this building.

40:00 - As of 2020 how many different flags are you making? I mean, I'm just gonna keep adding new ones. As you know, if anybody approaches me and they're like, hey, can you put this on, I just say yes. For example, like their department logos? I've done EMS ones with their custom logo. I have a guy actually in Arizona that makes the stencils for me. So it's one-time use until I start to get into that or I get Dyann into it.

50:00 - That's again where she stepped into it when I was running myself dry in the beginning because I was going all over the place. If somebody lived two hours away and they reached out to me on Facebook, I'd be like, you know I can meet you halfway at an hour, right? So think about an hour there, an hour back, I was losing time and that's gas money. So she shut that down real quick.

56:00 - Final Words

Jason:

Honestly, I do provide for my wife and one day our kids, you know, I want to build something that they can be proud of. I want to be humble. I don't like to be like, hey man, these are the coolest flags, like yeah, you can find better flags out there too.

Dyann:

We came a long way and not even a year later he wasn't sure it was gonna come to anything. The first day he was like, hey babe, I want to do this, do you? A DIY project? I was just like, okay, and the first flag came out horrible. I won't lie. The blue was over here, the stars were all over the place. But his mom actually has our first flag. She kept that, she's gotta have the origins.

20:00 - It's the end result because I wanted to make it so I could teach others because the way it really began is from epistemology, radiology, praxeology forensics. So you see people don't want to know that for sure. Yeah, I read the books, others don't need to read.

00:30 - Introduction

10:00 - I think we all have the passion in terms of trying to say, you know, healthcare has got to be done differently. We keep having this public policy debate and all these other things. There's some reality to that. But what we saw the real passion around was, as I mentioned earlier, flipping healthcare on its head. Instead of saying, why do we have to have people take care of people as patients, and disempower them, when what we can do is use this technology to empower people to actually self-manage their own condition. I mean, that's what you see people wanting to do.

20:00 - So we think we are unique in that AI space. Absolutely. I won't be as bold as saying we're the only one because I'm sure there's some other app out there. I've never heard of. Yeah, but in terms of the people that we're talking to employers with and and the competitors are out there trying to do the same thing. We think we're very unique and having meetup as your light AI coach.

One business coach has forged his approach to helping entrepreneurs and business executives by using a monumental personal failure and eventual redemption to help get others where they need to go to find their personal success and fulfillment.

At just 18 years old, Miha Matlievski, a Slovenian high school dropout, dreamed of becoming a successful entrepreneur. And he pursued it with a passion, putting in 12 years of hard work that resulted in four successful businesses and a personal net worth of $15M.

But in December 2009, an unexpected call from his bank, which had decided to foreclose on his real estate investments, brought his world crashing down around him. That one negative event instigated an avalanche of ruin for him and his businesses, resulting in his four, once-successful companies going bankrupt.

00:30 - Introduction

10:00 - What you're building is a cascading effect of negative results because you can only go so long that way and then you're going to burn out. You're going to reach a point where referring to your website, "I was literally ready to throw myself over the balcony". I mean, that's a pretty strong statement!

20:00 - The thing was, why all that happened to me, I was that crazy, winging it type of entrepreneur and not laying down any foundations. When I talk about those times, I always reference the Three Little Pigs story, and all my businesses were that first house made out of straws. When the first wind of crisis blew in, bam, it was a domino effect. Because of that, I went through depression, anxiety, darkness, suicide attempts, and so on. Until I had the aha moment and I was able to figure out that I had to take ownership of every mistake that I did in the past that led me to that failure. Then, I could start working on my personal goals and business development.

30:00 - What I see with my clients is often, I see bigger things for them than what they can see. But that's because I was there where they weren't yet. So it's much easier to see and to set big goals, because, for me, eight figures, nine figures, etc, I was there. I know how to do that, I can do it again. That's the difference.

40:00 - I was actually very stupid with my money, spending it like crazy because I could just keep making more at the time.

50:00 - You are that momentum builder and you must create a system that can then move forward. If it relies on you 24-7, 365 days a year, then that's not scalable. You can't create the momentum to create a movement that can go around the world. You can't, you simply and physically can't. So I'm not expecting me to be the one who saves the world from failure. I just want to help. More people are talking about failure, yes, but they're still brushing it off too casually. This subject is very important.

53:00 - Final Words

I'm guessing a majority of your audience is entrepreneurs or future entrepreneurs. So I'll say this, the number one thing that you need as an entrepreneur is a healthy relationship with failure. That's one thing that you will be faced with a lot and you need to know how to deal with it. The second thing that's super, super important, is that you must build a foundation, and always go back to the foundation when you want to go to the next step. It's just like building a house. You start with a foundation, you don't start with the second floor. Then when you say, oh, now I want to make my house larger, you can always go back and make sure that your foundation(s) are in place for that bigger house. This same point goes for your business. I know it's boring, I know. It feels like oh, I don't need this. It's so, so, so important, especially if you want to have a sustainable, long-term, and profitable business.

In 2011, Andy began gaining a lot of weight, struggling with chronic fatigue, and always lacking energy. Traditional dietary approaches only worked to a certain degree. After stumbling across light and its relation to the body, Andy has since become a leading figure in managing light to improve health and wellbeing. Today, he is busy educating others on the science behind how light affects our diet, hormones, sleep, and even fertility, what we can do to take control and ultimately attain optimal wellness and health.

1. Put your health first.
2. Ways to fight chronic fatigue.
3. Blue light's negative impacts, along with green light.

Mito-Hacker Dr. Jack Kruse - https://jackkruse.com/

https://youtu.be/lEfke5dlgMc

00:30 - Introduction

10:00 - So let me just think about sleep critically and so I dived into the literature and just found a lot of studies out there that show that specific frequencies of light after dark was messing up our sleep. A lot of the blue light frequencies are the focus but also the green light as well.

20:00 - If someone sat in an office and there's artificial light on, you can't just put an app on. LED lights or progressive lights that are in your office are quite damaging. You have to take the appropriate action and wear blue light protection over your eyes as well in the office space. A lot of people want to wear yellow lenses in offices, but some companies don't allow it. They think they are sunglasses and advise that you can't wear those. They have no right though to determine your eye health. They're not sunglasses, so push back.

30:00 - Ultimately, artificial light, light after dark aka after sunset is an inevitable thing these days. People don't want to just come home and sit around the campfire and talk to people. They want to watch the tele aka television or they might want to work on their laptops. Blue and green light are affecting us all these days and many people just say, well, I've got apps on my smartphones and all that.

40:00 - So then what we did was we took 450 and we eliminated everything below it. So 100% is from 400 to 450, we completely eradicated that, and then we left 450 to 495 of the blue spectrum pretty much intact. So these are daytime glasses

50:00 - I'm one of these guys that when I make a decision, I'm all in. I'm committed and I know that there are people out here hearing and watching this that aren't wired that way. But I have to remind people too that you can become wired that way you can get there tomorrow. It just starts by committing to make a decision.

01:01:11 - Final Words

I guess the final word for me is that we're an education brand first and that we just so happen to sell some products that can help with that education. We want people to not just rush out and buy glasses from anyone. We want people to research the science, have a look at the studies, have a look at the blogs that I'm writing, listen to the podcasts I've been on. Then make your own decisions as to whether you feel you need these glasses or what glasses you need.

I don't want BLUblox to feel like it's in the industry, at the moment, as a company that's just selling blue light glasses. I want to come across as this empowering sort of organization that educates people and actually has passion behind its' products and its not just run by an entrepreneur trying to make a quick buck. I'm someone that wants to help and give back to those not just in need but those who have the ability to help themselves by listening and thinking critically about certain aspects of life and in this instance, obviously that starts with light.

00:30 - Introduction

10:00 - Yeah six months evaluating, figuring out what the risk is, the pros, and the cons. We went through all of that and narrowed it down to the basics. Then we hired an individual for us first. So we hired, gosh, tomorrow will be the anniversary, five years ago tomorrow.

20:00 - So our clients had prepared two weeks' worth of work based on the individual, the American that this individual was replacing, and she went to Thailand. She thought she'd have plenty of time. Well on the first Thursday at 4 am the VA had done all of the work and she was like, oh my gosh, what do I do?

30:00 - Their work ethic was through the roof and the guy was a self-starter. If he started running out of work, he would look at other areas of the business relationship to see what else could be done. I remember him, he joked around, he's like, there was some programming or some issues with the website and he just went and taught himself code and learned how to fix the website for himself. I didn't ask him to do that but he ran out of stuff to do.

40:00 - What we do is have a client pick options. So I give you three. So let's say you're the client, Scott, if I give you three amazing people. Your general feeling is, oh my god, I love them. I like all three of them and a lot of times my clients will take more than one, one or two, but those three could do that job you need. So let's say you pick Jane. I'm going to work starting next Monday with Jane and we have different certifications. We've got customer service, front office, back office, we've got sales support, got accounting, it doesn't really matter. This certain person gets kind of a little bit caught up on the certification, but the reality of the certification is you can hide from somebody for eight hours, okay, you know, and you can put up a good front, you can't hide from me for 40 hours, you just can't. I'm going to find out you're a slacker. I'm gonna find out that you're not smart enough to do what we need to do.

59:00 - Final Words

I think if you've had a bad experience, don't let that stop you, don't let that fear hold you back. Yeah, we provide the easy button for people that want to do this. You don't have to learn to know everything, we do that, we've done it hundreds and hundreds of times, we have that great 97.2 success rate. We definitely know what it takes to be successful. I'm not afraid to tell a client that sometimes the problem is you, so let's fix it. We are very involved and if I think you need to do something different, I am going to help coach you through that so that you can have a better result, at least to the best of my ability. It's important to me, again from a kind of a personal place, that we provide amazing careers for the VA but we also provide amazing talent for our clients. The only way you can do that with human capital is to care and to be open to ideas and suggestions. Have a partner that really wants what's best for you. I feel Hiresmart, specifically, Mark and I, want our clients to experience what we know is possible because you've gone through it, as we've done it. It's never for us. It's never been about being the biggest, it was about being the best. So we're a boutique. We're not for everybody and we're not going to be the fortune 100 VA company.
