What do entrepreneurs know about success and risk that others don't? It might not be what you think, but it evolves from a desire for finance to one for freedom. The biggest media personalities understand this too. They spend big to earn bigger. But all this talk of money is misguided. And from the outside, it's hard to understand. Join Dan and Gord as they explain why having all forward progress come from a strength you already have is the recipe for achieving any goal you choose.

Non-fungible tokens are digital creations that can be bought, sold, and traded on the blockchain. Only one provable owner exists. Why is everyone talking about them, and why would someone pay millions for a pixelated digital cartoon? Because they believe it’s an investment with no place to go but up. In this episode, Dan and Gord demystify the non-fungible token and explain in simple terms what they are, how they work, and the future implications for media, ownership, and entrepreneurism.

Do you find yourself full of energy at the start of something new, but quickly run out of gas and give up? Join us for just a few minutes, and you'll learn how to become a limitless idea machine to keep your projects on track. Dan explains how focusing on questions brings out the magic, and how speaking to a certain type of person will drag your creativity into the mud. The solution to having endless great ideas is found in a very unlikely spot, but you might already have it sitting on your bookshelf.

Over the past few centuries, humans have certainly endured more disruptive events than the current lockdowns, all with a greater sense of collective calm. This time, social media obsession and a 24-hour cycle of bad news has only served the forces of negativity. But the central vehicle to success is relationships, then technology. When you marry the two, beautiful things happen. What would real-time AI translation or other converging technologies mean for your business? With the right mindset and creativity, we're truly capable of reaching a global group of customers. Unlimited growth is right around the corner.

It took the global lockdown for most to realize that the barriers for entry were gone. Skills once needed to build great things are replaced with human courage and connection. We'll never lose our place, since computers can't get bored. That's where business goals are born. Short-term solutions and fads will fade, while the winners are looking long-term. You have nothing to lose by starting now. After all, the only difference between a good idea and a bad one is the check you get to put in the bank.

The talent wars have just begun in the podcast industry. They want the capability to start raking in the cash, and they're not afraid to make bold moves. Big brands are snapping up big names, but the question lingers—will they always get along? Dan explains how this mindset shift of putting capability first brings out the best in your team. Use your show as a lead generator in the long game, and you'll always come out on top.

Why do some shows flow effortlessly while others sound so labored? The answer is in the motivation, and great chemistry only happens when everyone's not agreeing on every topic. It's why so much of the news is unwatchable. Hosts are chasing fame while ignoring the facts and each other. Dan gave it up altogether and wonders what you could accomplish in your life if you quit watching television too. We also share why most podcasts generate no revenue at all, and a wholesale flip you'll need to make to fix it.

Seems like everyone you talk to is feeling deeply right now. Some of it's good, and some not so much, but humans have what Dan calls "useful amnesia" to adapt to any situation. Output and creativity are the lifelines that can keep us connected and progressing in the new virtual world. It's scary to some, but that fear could be the fuel you need to reach the next level. Join us to learn the two necessary ingredients to holding onto the attention you've earned, and why the people you allow in your circle going forward need to pass just one critical test.

Adoption by necessity. The Spanish Flu ushered in the widespread use of the telephone. Covid pushed Zoom to the forefront of our daily communication. But technology is just part of teamwork. Companies that dismiss human input are making a big mistake. In this episode, Dan and Gord discuss how entrepreneurs and ingenuity will lead the new frontier of work for the next 100 years.

Some believe that we're only getting smarter, but intelligence is relative to the era you're living in. Great innovators were just as capable 1,000 years ago as they are today. Jumps in technology are relative too, since the newly invented radio once freaked people out just as much as the holograms of today. We're on the cusp of another big shift in how digital lets us think, work, and play. It's the greatest time in history for self-directed learning that's online, easy to find, and totally free!
