There are only a handful of tools that people are using to make alternative income streams either as hobbies or full-blown businesses. They often include big tech brands you've heard of such as Google, WordPress, YouTube, Amazon, eBay, even Wal-Mart and more...

Having tested out these ideas myself, here is how you can start making an income by becoming a product expert using just Amazon and YouTube. It helps if there is already a type of product you are interested or passionate about whether it be coffee/espresso makers, juicers, workout equipment, books, cameras, and more...

I noticed this article in The Wall Street Journal the other day about Michael Jordan getting his stake in the company DraftKings (DKNG) and I've been keeping an eye on it.

Since the news, I've heard about more partnerships that seem to have helped their stock value rise. Here's some thoughts around it.

Please forgive the "pops" in this episode as I am testing a new microphone setup for more future episodes. The pop filter was currently unavailable.

In the meantime, the information is awesome!

This episode inspired by The Wall Street Journal article here:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/warren-buffett-and-the-300-000-haircut-11598626805?st=1dkjsjb9nqm86dv (big correction in my audio I said $35,000 haircut, but it's even more than that!) anyway, you can play with the numbers yourself using any compounding calculator.

With that said, the article combined with the incredible book on Warren Buffett titled "The Snowball" on my Amazon Webstore: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mindsetferg?listId=2AKHVR2FNC44G&ref=cm_sw_tw_r_inf_list_own_mindsetferg_dp_147yQI06qo6Nb

Together, they give amazing insight into how Warren Buffett (based on interpretations of the article and book) views the world. And while simply thinking in a "Buffett way" won't make you an Oracle of your city, there is a lot we can learn to start to update the way we think.

Amazing and exciting episode interviewing actress and coach Natalie Lymor who has trained with some of the best Hollywood has to offer including the highly esteemed Ivana Chubbuck and the Upright Citizens Brigade troupe.

In this episode we talk about how even professionals can learn from actors trainings to be more authentic in life.

Natalie Lymor even goes over some other fun ideas while sharing stories about her experience in Hollywood to include:

- How to craft a unique story when you are an incredibly diverse person

"Live it, Love it, Book it! ~Natalie Lymor

In addition to be a working actor, Natalie Lymor is an entertainment coach and mentor for actors of all ages. Natalie has studied with a handful of elite acting coaches, casting directors and personally mentored with Ivana Chubbuck allowing her to develop a comprehensive technique ‘The P.R.O.C.E.S.S.’ that is simpler to teach and easier to understand than many of the most popular methods out there.

Throughout each class there are exercises introduced that not only develop the foundation of acting but help students gain confidence, recognize their individuality, identify unique abilities and special talents. Success in the business requires a great deal more from actors then just the performance. 

It's a cut throat industry, but my clients learn what it takes and how to get it! 

Natalie's experience and charisma allow her to make real connections with even the youngest of actors. She excels at guiding young talent as they learn to engage the material on deeper levels. Her gift for instilling in children a positive attitude towards the natural pressures and stress of auditioning has made her a favorite amongst dedicated parents who struggle with the pain that their children often encounter in the normal day life of being an actor.

Natalie is a reliable professional who provides firm guidance, strong mentorship and enthusiastic advocacy to her students. Natalie's goal is to instill in her clients confidence, passion and the need to WIN in a warm, friendly and fun learning environment.

As discussed in our episode, Natalie also has some projects coming out that you won't want to miss!

It is exciting to see someone you connected with quite a few years ago suddenly start rising in their industry, so I just had to interview Hala Taha. It's funny how overnight success works - when someone suddenly starts appearing all over the place and their business is doing great (the public misses many years of effort)! And Hala shares her story of the many years of hard work that she put in to develop her Top-of-the-Apple-Charts podcast "Young and Profiting."

In this episode, Hala goes over her incredible story starting from when she first got on the radio, and why she felt like she would never be on a mic again...

I also took a question from Tim Ferris and asked her "if she had to put advice on a billboard to help a new podcaster, what would it say?" And her answer was astonishing...

And by the end of this show, I was incredibly inspired. It's one thing to hear an amazing story and be motivated through a "motivational speech." But it's another to hear someone's story and say "I am inspired to be like that" in even symbolic ways such as with leadership skills and work ethic.

This is one episode you won't want to miss.

Hala started her career in radio production at WQHT Hot97 on “The Angie Martinez Show.” 

Later she focused on an entrepreneurial endeavor― the launch an entertainment news blog site, “The Sorority of Hip Hop.” She led an all-female team of 50 bloggers, and together they ran the popular site, interviewed celebrities, produced radio shows, and hosted parties/concerts.  When the blog site boom slowed down in 2014, Hala took a temporary exit from the entertainment industry to get an MBA. She now currently has over 8 years of corporate marketing experience and is quickly rising up the ranks at Disney Streaming Services.  

Today Hala hosts a #1 How-To podcast, Young and Profiting (YAP), and is one of the biggest influencers on Linkedin. YAP merges Hala’s passions for radio, entrepreneurship, business, and continued learning. Hala is an expert on networking, rising from failure, personal branding, Linkedin marketing and podcasting.

This episode contains exciting insider experience from 2ndLt Johnson about becoming a United States Marine Corps (USMC) Commissioned Officer. 

Part of this episode includes the first-hand experience of the sleep deprivation in Officer Candidate School, while also getting a glimpse into one fresh USMC Officer's key leadership principle for his life. But even through the tough times, Johnson seemed prepared for some of the rigors of OCS which ends up being a fantastic lesson in itself for anyone who wishes to go this route to join the military.

Even more powerful was to hear how the challenges of OCS were "just the beginning" as Officers eventually face even more difficult challenges should they succeed through the trials of OCS. Things are as easy as they are compared to your biggest challenge.
