If Amazon can be a money-making machine, Grant’s guest Brad DeGraw surely knows how to operate it; starting with 100 dollars and making a thousand times that in the first year then scaling up to seven figures, Brad learned the downside of reselling and then started to go after his own brands, first with white labels then his own products. He also helps other people get their business running and shares the reasoning behind it, his amazing philosophy on hiring and how he wants his employees to make mistakes while keeping the company’s moral stances in focus… and on top of that, some pretty good relationship advice: accept the terms.

Everybody loves to talk about the latest marketing technologies and strategies, so oftentimes the phone gets overlooked; in this episode, Grant gives good arguments for this older mean of communication and how it can help you grow your business and close a few more sales faster than other strategies; in a phone call, the path to customer trust is a lot quicker and you can take advantage of that, as long as you observe the right time to do it and how much of your time and effort to put into it so that it’s worth the money.

A hard time learning how to surf makes Grant think about the initial pain of learning anything and how the enjoyment you take out of performing an activity depends drastically on your skill level at it, so he defines the enjoyment threshold, how it varies depending on the activity you’re undertaking, what’s the critical component to get over it, what’s the teacher’s role in getting someone past it and how you shouldn’t forget what it was like to be a beginner, always remembering to take care of the emotional side of the learning experience for yourself and your customers.

While his latest travels take him to Bali, Grant ends up at the monkey forest where, unsurprisingly, he meets a few monkeys and learns a few lessons about inter-species relationships (hint: not everyone likes too much eye contact); then a visit to the doctor is in order and becomes a mathematical life or death situation where a statistically minuscule chance of getting rabies is rationally comprehended but emotionally adverted when Grant doesn’t feel like dying; a few days later the drama continues and becomes a sunken cost problem, when perhaps it would be better to let go of the losses and just not care about the subsequent rounds of shots, but the whole “not wanting to die” thing persists. Grant is still alive, podcasting about rational and emotional decisions, sunken costs and how those emotions come to play in your business decisions.

It’s not just about teaching efficiently, a lot depends on the mindset and resources of your listeners. In this episode, Grant talks about how some online businesses seem sketchy - specially info products with their exaggerated marketing promises; how the expert fallacy makes people fail to account for another person’s resources, contacts and invested time; how serendipity also happens a lot in every kind of business, so no strategy is a done deal. Also, increasing your luck surface area, how it’s important to understand that people trying your course will fail and how you as an expert should be giving them tools and making them understand that how they use them is a critical factor for sucess.
