The Action Catalyst

Erik Weir is a jack of many trades; principal of WCM Global Wealth LLC, author, movie producer, investor and real estate developer. Erik explains how he considers himself a “farmer of life experience”, why fear and gratitude cannot coexist, the 5 F's that drive your life, the “rule of 72”, shares his experience with Chuck Norris and learning a hard karate lesson, and talks about why change is an inside job, and how a big shot is just a little shot that keeps shooting.

Mike McFall, Co-CEO of BIGGBY COFFEE®, the US’s third largest coffee franchise, talks about working towards being the eventual owner of the Detroit Red Wings (any day now), doing due diligence on yourself as an entrepreneur, and determining your “Grind Score” (pun intended?).
