On The Edge Podcast with Scott Groves

This is an abbreviated version of the full podcast for those of you on-the-go, but the full podcast is also available here!

Today, we’re talking to Paul Xavier, who is an online product creator who made his first million dollars before he turned 30. We’re both part of a great group called Go-Bundance and I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to learn about Paul’s somewhat unique rise to success in the online world.

What does ‘build cool products’ mean to you?

What happened in your youth that launched this entrepreneurial attitude? Paul discusses the simple way he found success early on, and the simple secret is that anybody can do it with some simple steps.

Talk about the mentality shift going from a government contract worker to a freelance worker. What about the hustle changed?

Can you walk us through a successful implementation of creating an online income? How does the creation of a sales process work? Paul walks us through an example using Scott’s coaching platform.

How do you know you’re working with a trustworthy online assistant? There are SO many people out there that don’t fulfill their promises, so how do you know you’re picking the right one?

How do you solve situations for parts of the job you don’t like doing? Like if you LOVE creating content but hate selling it, how do you find the right fit for that position?

How do you build a team of people to push a product? Do you like short term help or long term help? How many clients do you like to work with?

You mentioned earlier that you had a speech coach earlier in life, do you think that experience ‘set the table’ for going after your goals at an early age and helped you find success quicker than most people?

You’re crushing it now and I have no doubt you’ll do better and better, but were there any failures along the way? Things you wished you could have done better?

This week we’ll be talking about this crazy inflation streak we’re on, the real impact of class action lawsuits, Kyle Rittenhouse, and some new protocol in hospitals for patient pronouns. Let’s get into it!  

3:46 - Inflation is taking off right now and it’s impossible for anybody to ignore. Is our democratic system to blame? Is it the alleged 40% of all currency being printed in the last 18 months? Do we blame Coronavirus? Or Donald Trump, or Joe Biden? Who’s fault is it, how can we fix it, and where do we go from here?  

15:00 - This “Pencil Speech” about the benefits of the free market should be required viewing for every human being in the USA.  

33:15 - Why do things get more expensive? I believe that an underlooked part of it is unneeded regulation and frivolous class action lawsuits. Think about it, even if you do get to participate in a class action, it destroys a company resulting in higher prices for you, and for what payout? You and a bunch of people get a few bucks, the lawyers make millions, and the company could be crippled beyond the point of no return. Is it really worth it?  

46:10 - I have some very brief thoughts about the Kyle Rittenhouse situation. Not a huge amount to say but I know some people have been waiting to hear my opinion.   

50:20 - We’re going to discuss the DHR Pronoun Toolkit that has just been sent out to doctors and hospitals in California. I am 100% here for you and your identity, however you want to live is your life. It’s just, we’re in a time of a global pandemic with tons of medical emergencies going on. It just seems like a weird time to start having 85 different identities for hospital patients. Again I’m not against people using their preferred pronouns, but in a hospital setting, it just seems like there are higher priorities than catering to peoples feelings. Let’s go over the whole list together.

Today, We’re talking to John Mackey, who is an expert on Credit Reset, Credit Education, FICO Scoring, and Debt Collection. We have a fascinating conversation about the things consumers often miss about understanding their credit, myths about the power of a ‘consumer credit score,’ and other serious financial issues going on in the United States

What does FICO mean? How does it affect me?

What is wrong with America’s dependance on Credit Karma? In so many situations, most consumers think that their Credit Karma score will help them buy a car or a house. Unfortunately, the truth is that Credit Karma just provides a ‘consumer score’ which basically rates your ability to get another credit card. These credit scores have nothing to do with other, much larger loans.

Did you know there are 43 Credit Bureaus? There’s even one for Medical Debt. Why are they collecting this information? How are they profiting off of it?

Hove you ever heard the advice to just ignore the Debt Collector? We discuss why this is terrible advice, and what exactly is going on behind the scenes regarding your money, your debt, and your financial reputation. Scott discusses a story with debt collectors that he is dealing with as we speak!

What are the major components that go into crafting a good credit score?

Why do credit pulls have such an impact on your credit score? What’s the difference between a hard pull and a soft pull?  55:10 - Why does your credit score go down when you pay it off early

How do poor people get ahead in todays banking climate? Is all hope lost or is there some kind of solution to make what money you DO have grow?

There seem to be two thoughts on how to live live, either save up and live poor your whole life, or live well and hope for the best. Do you think one is better than the other? Which makes more sense when considering the world of credit?

Do you think education in the credit world is up to par with what it needs to be? What can we do to shift the mentality of Americans when it comes to debt and credit? It seems that there is a generational gap between those that save and the current consumers.

Today we’re talking with Trey Kauffman, host of the Mosaic Life Podcast. His podcast is all about happiness and how to find your version of it in your life. I’m so excited to have this positive change of pace on our show and share it with all of you!  

What is the key to life and the secret to happiness? Trey outlines what his version of happiness means and what it means to you. Your version of happiness is not the same as everyone else, and that’s the first step to finding it.  

Trey talks about his journey about removing things from his life that do not serve him, starting with drinking. It wasn’t because he had a problem, but just something to try. As time went on, it snowballed into more and more self discovery and success and is really what put this project in motion.   

We discuss the pros and cons of being driven by ego. A book called ‘Ego Is The Enemy’ was part of the inspiration, and ego should not be ignored, but utilized.   

Do happy people watch the news? How do you remain informed without going insane with all of the crazy opinions and interpretations of current events?  

As Americans, it seems like we’ve moved away from the idea that we have a ‘higher purpose.’ Politics have split us and made us fearful of our neighbors more than ever, which is something we used to be able to control but we’ve forgotten that we as people CAN control this. When do you think the switch was made? How can we get along as human beings because, after all, we’re all more similar than we are different.   

What have you learned about the power of having one on one conversations?  29:57 - Have you gotten any cool or useful tips on how not to go sane in this new age of being alone a lot more often?  

What do you know about a ‘growth mindset?’  36:45 - Trey talks about the shift from listening to the radio to listening to podcasts. The radio, nor podcasts, were serving him. What are your takeaways from having your own podcasts?  44:50 - What is serving you well and what is not serving you well?  

How does minimization translate to creating happiness? We’re all home a lot more, and have less ‘going out’ distractions, do you have any advice for making that change?

This week with On The Edge Podcast we’re talking with Certified Love, Sex & Intimacy Coach Tilly Storm.

Normally, you would find the chapters of the podcast listed here for easy click-thru navigation, however due to the sensitive nature of the conversation, we will not be listing all of the subjects.

WARNING: Sexually Mature Content.

Raised Southern Baptist, Tilly was taught that desire was sinful and that sexuality was a source of shame. She had internalized these messages and didn’t begin questioning them until after freebirthing her first baby at 23. By the time she was 27, she was divorced with two kids, feeling frustrated because she could only orgasm in one way, was uncomfortable with her body, and bumping up against the limits to her pleasure. Tilly realized there must be more to sex than this!  So began her long journey researching ways that one could feel more confident and comfortable in their body and the bedroom. Tilly voraciously devoured every book she could get her hands on about sexuality, signed up for a class that taught her the jade egg practice--which led to a kundalini awakening, and to her becoming multi-orgasmic--and learned the sacred art of tantra.

Working seven years as a doula shed light on the struggles that women have with their sexuality when moving through transformational life events, such as giving birth, menopause and divorce, and ingrained cultural and religious messages. Seeing these issues, and having worked through her own sexual challenges and hangups, she was inspired to assist other women in doing the same and help them to reclaim their desire, reignite the flow of their sexual energy and connect to their divine feminine essence.

Tilly used this inspiration to go from a $20,000/year birth doula, to building a six figure coaching business in the span of two years. Now she is a world-renowned expert in the Tantric and Toaist arts, helping individuals and couples change their narratives around sexuality, move through their blocks to pleasure and increase their confidence and connection, helping them step into their power and authenticity in the bedroom and beyond.   Tilly is a proud American, doting mother of two amazing boys, and devoted romantic partner. Her no-nonsense attitude, traditional family values, belief in hard work, meritocracy and personal responsibility, and willingness to speak the truth at all costs sets her apart in a field dominated by the enshrinement of victimhood culture, the overuse of ‘safe spaces’ and the fear of saying anything that might upset or offend someone.

Tilly is assisting in creating a world where everyone has access to feeling and experiencing their body and sexuality as sacred and pleasurable, and where relationships strengthen and grow because individuals and couples have the tools and understanding to come (and cum) together despite differences in sexual preferences and libidos.

Tilly has helped everyone from marriage and family therapists, religious practitioners and high level executives/entrepreneurs to strippers, single moms and couples married for decades to finally own and embrace their sexuality, become multiorgasmic, reignite passion and desire in long term relationships, and even have their own spiritual awakening, initiating individuals into the inner sanctum of the sacred, tantric arts.

Why do ACCREDITED INVESTORS get access to investments that rest of us don't have access to? WHAT is an accredited investor? Why do ACCREDITED INVESTORS make greater returns with LESS RISK. We've got the guy to answer those questions!!!

Frederick is an accomplished entrepreneur with more than 25 years of success spanning financial services and technology. He is responsible for founding Creative Capital Wealth Management Group, growing the firm to 15 states, and building a unique retainer-based wealth management program. He also president of Retainer-based Academy LLC, a coaching and intellectual property firm.  Frederick is an innovative leader with a keen eye for unique solutions and vast knowledge in alternative wealth creation strategies. He received his Behavioral Financial AdvisorTM, BFATM for short, certification as of July 2018.

As a seasoned board member Frederick has held board positions with Phoenixville Regional Chamber of Commerce, The Andy Talley Bone Marrow Foundation, Rotary, Kiwanis, LGBT Equality Alliance, the Phoenixville Senior Center, Cornerstone for Hope, Phoenixville Area Community Services, and the West Chester School of Business Advisory Council. He is married to Elizabeth, has nine-year-old twins James and Abigail. His hobbies include technology, cigars, eagles’ football, and cars (mostly Tesla).

Why do Ivy League Universities need to invest? The investments in colleges go toward their foundations and scholarship programs, and also the investments keep their accreditation status. There are only a few business that qualify to be in an upper tier of status, and many of these colleges sit in this category.

WHAT is an ACCREDITED INVESTOR?  For a person to be accredited, you need to have a certain amount of income or net worth to qualify. Once you qualify for accreditation, the world of investing really opens up to you. As Frederick explains, it’s like being in the same restaurant but you get a different menu when it comes to investing.

What is retainer based planning? What does your company do that makes it unique from other investment companies?

Scott clarify’s exactly what Fredericks company does and he puts it into simple terms. Learn about the advice they give to their clients, which help them invest their money properly while keeping their current investments in themselves active. Things like your business and 401K remain the same, but other income can be dispersed more effectively for passive investment.

When you bring an accredited investor idea to a client, what exactly are you referring to? What are these investments and why haven’t most people heard of them yet? Who can access them?

How does inflation play a role in investing these days? It seems everything is at an all time high, so how do you decide what to invest in? It’s hard to ‘buy low’ these days so where do you find your in? Frederick provides some examples on how the rich are investing their money to remain in the upper tier of society, and how they can infinitely increase their holdings based on making the right investments.

Frederick further explains the benefits of being a AAA accredited investor, and what you can and can’t invest in UNLESS you’re in this group.

Frederick explains the concept behind the (so far non-existent) “Debt Jubilee.”

Frederick goes over some life stories that led him to the conclusion to always say Yes when provided with an opportunity.
