Modern Day CEO

In this episode, I’m joined by best-selling author, life coach, and amazing motivational speaker and story teller, Marcus Black! 

For him, luxury is living every moment like it’s your last, going all out, and putting your heart and soul in everything you do because time is the most precious resource we will ever have!

After a near death experience when he was only 18, he felt he had to tell his story. But being so young, he didn’t think he had enough experiences to fill a book, so he opted for a podcast instead and fully committed to that! 

That ended up being noticed by a publisher and 3 months later, finally got his book out! 

To learn more about his dance with death that changed his life and led him to modern luxury, keep listening!

Today’s guest is a veteran, a patriot, a father, a mentor, a leader, and best-selling author of Unleash Your Humble Alpha, Steven Khun.

Steven is happily married with kids and is currently working on Investment Funds, a new program for Humble Alpha, and consulting with 15,000 veteran business entrepreneurs.

His definition of Luxury changes over time. So what is it currently?

It’s about pursuing what you want to do when you want to do it and who you want to do it with….Financial and geographic independence to embrace your true self and the life you want to live.

But he didn’t always think that way. Looking back at 2002 working as a Corporate Director, everything came crashing down when he lost his job and made some bad investment decisions. 

Steven ended up writing a book which became a huge success. But in 2008, more obstacles presented themselves, this time in the form of a toxic relationship. 

At the brink of taking his own life, a police officer’s genuine and positive remarks changed his entire life. To find out how and learn more about how he found modern luxury, listen to the full episode!

Lyann Nguyen (aka Credit Ninja) is the CEO of ReCredit, and advisor to CEOs, celebrities, influencers, YouTubers, and athletes. 

Her definition of luxury centers around relationships and experiences. 

And of course, this directly translates to how she treats her clients. She places herself where her ideal clients live, really listens to them, and thinks about how they think, so she can provide customized, memorable experiences for them.

But how does she treat herself like a luxury brand? Here's her best advice:

"You are always in control of your environment and YOU are the best caretaker of yourself"

If you don't treat yourself like a luxury brand, then no one else will, so you have to take care of yourself at all costs.

To hear how Credit Ninja successfully built her luxury brand, make sure to listen until the end!

Michael Cirillo is a marketing and tech entrepreneur, bestselling author, consultant to fortune 500 companies, and host of a top 1% podcast, The Dealer Playbook. He also helps other business leaders build greater authority through his podcast agency, CMG (Clear Message Group). 

Michael's definition of modern luxury is deeply rooted in living one's preferred experience. During his early twenties, he lived in constant fear and anxiety of not being able to stack up. He measured success with vanity metrics. How much money you make, or how many cars you have.

It wasn’t until he stumbled upon the dictionary definition of success that his perspective completely changed.

Discover why there is more than enough success to go around, and how Michael thinks differently about luxury, branding, and how we each are capable of doing incredible things in life.
