  • Ep 86: The Billionaire Code - Success as an Entrepreneur by Business Guru Alex Charfen

    Alex Charfen is one of my greatest teachers and mentors, his systems and processes for scaling and growing business are second to none.

    Alex is the founder of Charfen.com a coaching and consulting business that helps takes businesses from start up to to billion dollar enterprises.

    He is the author of the "The Entrepreneurial Personality type"

    https://www.charfen.com/free-ebook/

    Podcaster at the "Momentum Podcast"

    Alex believes Every day, new members of this tribe of "Entrepreneurs" are born with a unique set of gifts and issues that will, for better or worse, drive them for all of their lives. They will chase momentum, and even long for it. They will have a hard time fitting into the systems built for everyone else. And, in the end, if they survive and are able to stay un-medicated and un-incarcerated, they will likely change the world.

    They've locked themselves in rooms and invented the light bulb but only after ten thousand failed tries; they have launched rockets into space and landed them safely, but only after explosions and scrubbed missions; they've built and lost great empires; and sadly, some, perhaps most, have spent their lives as misunderstood and out of step dreamers with unhappy endings.

    Alex has studied greatness for decades and here is what he has found: All of the notable entrepreneurs down through history have a great deal in common with each other, and, quite frankly, very little in common with the rest of the world. They share The Entrepreneurial Personality Type (EPT) with all of its quirks and idiosyncrasies. They are a restless bunch with an intrinsic need to move and build and strive. His own remarkable entrepreneurial journey reflects that.

    He is also the author of the Billionaire Code. https://billionairecode.com/know-the-code

    A framework and structure that helps show business owners where they are on the business growth ladder and what exactly they need to focus on at each level.C

    Alex has known from a young age that he was different, and this led him on a path to studying the world's greatest entrepreneurs to find out how they achieved so much in their lives. His research led to founding the Entrepreneurial Personality Type (EPT) and helping tens of thousands of 6, 7, and 8-figure entrepreneurs use this information to grow and scale their business while building maximum sustainable momentum. From consulting for billionaires, the Fortune 500 and some of the most successful people in the world. Alex is the co-founder and CEO of CHARFEN, empowering entrepreneurs to grow and scale businesses and make their greatest contribution. An in-demand thought leader on business strategy and entrepreneurship, he regularly appears in major media outlets such as MSNBC, CNBC, FOX News, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Investor's Business Daily to provide his unique views and insights.

    Alex is married to Cadey and has two daughters Reagan and Kennedy and they live in Austin Texas

  • Ep 84: How to build a team and lead them to success - in business, in sport or at home

    In this podcast Lisa discusses how to develop a good team culture and how important your state of being, your values and your consistency is in helping the team achieve it's goals.

    She discusses why setting totally unrealistic goals just demotivates and teaches a team to fail.

    Why goals should stretch and challenge a team but be doable.

    She discusses the leaders emotional state and how influential this is on the team around them and how the culture in a company or a sports teams is always a reflection of the leadership.

    If your team isn't performing, look to yourself first.

    She discusses the 5 different levels of being.

    1. Being Present

    2. On Alert

    3. Loaded state - things are go pear shaped

    4. Fight or flight state

    5. Total overwhelm and full on panic.

    If you turn up in any level except level 1 your team will likely be on the next step up.

    So reflect on how you are turning up.

    She looks at the importance of consistency, openess, transparency, showing vulnerability, understanding your own strengths and weaknesses.

    These things lead to trust and higher performance.

    The team will always be looking to you the leader for guidance.

    The importance of giving your teams dreams wings. Walk beside your team. Teaching self confidence and self belief.

    Breaking big goals down into achievable chunks.

  • EP:81 Sports Psychology and the Mindset of a Winner -

    World Champion Motorcycle Racer Wayne Gardner has just released a brand new movie "Wayne" about his crazy life and reaching the pinnacle of Motorcycle Racing.

    The film captures the life and career of the Aussie, who went from owning a $5 motorbike in Wollongong, Australia, to winning the 1987 500cc World Championship with wife Donna Forbes by his side.

    I had the privilege of being invited to meet and have an interview with Wayne to discuss sports psychology and the importance of the mental game when it comes to winning in sport.

    In this episode I share some of Waynes' and my own insights into this fascinating and underrated area of work and why every athlete should be focussing more on his or her mental game to get the edge over the competition.

  • Ep 77 - Dr Scott Sherr on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Dr. Sherr believes that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) -- the administration of 100% oxygen at greater than atmospheric pressure -- is one of the most powerful ways to decreasing inflammation, accelerate wound healing, and optimise both physical and mental performance.

    He is one of the few HBOT providers in the USA that creates personalised treatment plans for patients that include cutting edge & dynamic HBOT protocols, adjunctive technologies, laboratory testing, and nutritional interventions.

    Dr. Sherr is the Director of Integrative Hyperbaric Medicine and Health Optimization at Hyperbaric Medical Solutions, in addition to operating his own independent hyperbaric consultation practice and performing in-person consultations in the San Francisco Bay Area (where he lives). Dr. Sherr aims to create access and educate all those who may benefit from HBOT through telemedicine consulting, advocacy, and education practice worldwide.

    I wanted to share this episode because hyperbaric was the therapy that I credit with being the major component in my mother, Isobel's rehabilitation after a devastating brain injury over two years ago.

    Isobel was left with hardly any higher funcitoning, the brain damage was so severe she was unable to control her body in any meaningful fashion, had virtually no memory, no speech and was let in the . stage of a toddler at the age of 74.

    But after three months in hospital and after months studying hyperbaric oxygen therapy and searching for somewhere to get her access to it I was lucky enough to find a chamber to use. Wha followed was in my opinion nothing short of miraculous. and now after thousands of hours of training, combined with supplemetation and diet changes and over 170 hyperbaric sessions later. Mum is completely normal again, can walk, read, write, do all her normal daily duties and is living a full life again, her doctor saying is a one in a million comeback story.

    This is why I was so excited to get one of the worlds leading experts on this therapy to speak on my podcast and to explain much lcearer and better just what the mechanisms of HBOT are and the benefits, limitations and research going into this area of medicine.

    So make sure you save this episode and share it as far and as wide as possible.

    The fact that I was able to get access to one of the world's top experts in this fields is just amazing and I want to make sure that all who need to hear this information get access to it and to hypebaric oxygen therapy.

    I am also happy to have people contact me direct with questions.

  • Ep 75: Daniel Flynn - Founder of Social Enterprise Thankyou

    There's a darkness in our world. 1 billion people live in extreme poverty. It's made darker by the fact that in this same world, extreme consumerism exists. Each day as consumers, we give billions of dollars to the world's largest multinationals for everyday products. Thankyou the social enterprise that is taking not only Australia but now NZ by storm, thinks it's time to bring the light.

    What began as an impossible idea, dreamed up by Daniel Flynn, his best mate Jarryd, and girlfriend (now wife) Justine, is now backed by a passionate team of 50, and a consumer movement of thousands. 'Consumer movement' could sound like a fluffy, throw-away phrase.

    But picture this. For 5 years, the major supermarkets in Australia had said no to Thankyou. Then one day they launched this video and thousands of people began petitioning to the supermarkets. Two LEGENDARY helicopter pilots, Peter and Geoff, donated their time to fly these signs above the head offices of those two supermarkets and in record-breaking time, both said yes.

    Products hit the shelves, including their hand wash that has since become number one in the category. You might have seen it at your fave brunch spot. With the idea working in Australia, they launched a book titled "Chapter One" to crowdfund the launch of Thankyou in New Zealand and beyond.

    Within two hours of this launch video, they had raised $360,000, with now over $1.9 million raised and counting. The book is sold at a pay what you want price with people paying from $0.05 (don't be that guy) to $50,000 for a copy. In airport bookstores it was second to only the Harry Potter book launch. And it's only the first chapter.

    We discuss this revolutionary new business model and take a peek at the visionary powerhouse behind the man and this company.

    With over $5.5 million already donated to causes aimed at ending global poverty in over 16 countries, and their story is really only just beginning. They have beaten all the odds, taken on the biggest multinationals and created a consumer movement that is literally impacting millions.

    And now we want to challenge you to get onboard and get in behind the launch by buying their everyday products at your local supermarket and by telling two friends about it, gifting them a product and asking them to do the same. Check out www.telltwo.co.nz for details.
