One of my best friends Josh Painter is here to talk about his new book, Best Version Ever! Josh has been hosting an annual mastermind of the same name for 6 years now and it’s time to share those ideas with the masses in a book! Join us today as we go over the basic principles of the book and get an excellent preview of what to expect! 

Order the book TODAY!: https://amzn.to/3AlbNRm

In his own words: Josh Painter is a husband, father, leader, coach, speaker, philanthropist, and the author of the book “Best Version Ever.”

Josh founded the Best Version Ever Community after realizing that most people live a life that others expect of them, not a life true to themselves. Unfortunately, he lived this same life, moving from one job to the next, barely getting by, and at one point almost losing everything. 

Since becoming his own Best Version Ever, Josh built and sold a successful real estate company, started a charity organization, and lives his Best Version Ever by helping others crush their goals and reach their full potential in all areas of life.

Today we’re interviewing Les Leslie, who runs a company called Gringo Strategic. Les trains people on being prepared for the uncertainties in life, many of which were brought to the forefront of our culture during the pandemic. Self preservation training is central to his company and life, helping people to be self sufficient independent from our countries supply chain. 

I get it, a few years ago you probably would have thought somebody like Les is waiting for a zombie apocalypse that is never going to happen, but now we all know that there’s merit in being ready for anything. Join us for a fascinating conversation about being prepared for anything while keeping sane at the same time. 

Gringo Strategic is: A think tank committed to the research, development, dissemination, and application of strategies and tactics to survive the American decline by resurrecting decentralized and networked communities. This mission is advanced by the work of an Advisory Cell and through Ars Gringo membership; a closed-door, nexus of like-minded men, working to restore and maintain prosperity in their local communities.

8:25 - What qualifies you to train this? Why do you do it?

17:10 - Scotts levels of preparedness

28:00 - Did nobody see this coming?

In His Own Words: Thai Rivera, the self-proclaimed Absolute Best LGBTQ Comedian in the World, has been shocking, entertaining and educating audiences with his stand up for over 16 years.

Thai honed his politically incorrect style performing in the most unlikely of places, redneck bars and rural America where, through humor, he makes LGBTQ+ relatable. Thai’s stand up has taken him not only all over the country but all over the world, places like Australia, Singapore, Bahrain and several tours throughout China. In 2019, Thai became the first openly gay comedian to ever perform in Mongolia. TV credits include Comedy Central, the Logo Network and All Def Digital. Rivera has also worked with some of the biggest names in the comedy world, such as, Jo Koy, Russell Peters and Gabriel Iglesias to name a few.

Joining us this week are Alex Tkachuk and Sam Safholm of MyHomeIQ, and I already know what you're thinking. WHY another CRM? As we all know the best CRM is the one you use, but I want to let you know that I've invested in this one and this podcast explains why.   

I wanted to see a few changes and they made those changes within 2 days. This platform does as much or as little as you want it to, and doesnt bother you with information you don't need.

From their website: 

𝘮𝘺HomeIQ for Loan Officers

𝘮𝘺HomeIQ positions you as a trusted advisor to your clients so they can make smart home finance decisions

67% of homeowners do not use the same Loan Officer on their next transaction

Mortgage Professionals do not have a way of providing value throughout their client's lifecycle. Some will attempt to stay connected to their clients with ambiguous content that doesn't inform, educate, or engage.

𝘮𝘺HomeIQ increases client engagement by 24X

We provide a tool that empowers your clients to build home wealth — in return, creating you repeat and referral business

Provide your clients with valuable home insights every month

Most Agents and Loan Officers rely on email marketing to stay connected with their clients even though the statistics show that only 18% of emails are opened.

𝘮𝘺HomeIQ solves this problem by providing homeowners a personalized monthly report that educates them on how to increase their wealth through homeownership while positioning their Realtor and Loan Officer as trusted advisors.

Big Data in the core

Predictive analytics is a powerful tool that can be used to identify future outcomes. However, it is important to remember that predictive analytics is only as accurate as the data that is used to create the model. With over a billion data points on property, demographic, event, and behavior, we got you covered.

The last time we talked to Jake, there was a massive hit to the Crypto market. Since then, it’s been all over the place. I thought it would be cool to give you guys an update on what’s going on…is it a good time to invest? How are longtime investors doing? Is the crypto-boom over?

Welcome to part two of our interview with Jake Gallen, a Crypto expert and Las Vegas Local. Jake has his own crypto based podcast but he’s joined us today to provide some insight as to what exactly is going on. If you missed part one of the interview, it’s all about the Nightclub culture of Las Vegas, and you really don’t want to miss it. If that’s not your thing, no worries, enjoy our crypto chat!

****NOTICE**** Neither Jake nor I are financial advisors. Do not take financial advice from Youtube or Podcasts, ever. Do your own research. Consult a professional investment advisor before making any investment decisions. This conversation is for entertainment only and everything expressed is purely opinion and speculation.

In Jakes Words - Jake Gallen is a born and raised Las Vegas native who has found himself as a member, creator, and founder of multiple projects, organizations, and businesses. Upon graduating from Chaparral High School, where he played Football and ran Track & Field, Jake attended UNLV where he graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Kinesiology. During his collegiate career Jake was a member of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity where he held Executive Board positions for 3 years including Vice President, Treasurer, and Rush Chair.
