Welcome back to the show listeners and we are glad you joined us today! A couple weeks ago we featured the founder of Natural Stacks, Ben Hebert on our show. Natural Stacks is a supplement company helping people reach their highest level of peak performance, naturally!

An island in Croatia with the CTO of Kyvio, Steven van der Peijl and a couple hundred 7-figure entrepreneurs! This is our review of Baby Bathwater Island Croatia

Hey listeners, welcome back to the show!  Do you know what a benchmark is? A benchmark is one of those times in your life that you know that you know that you know life completely changes after that moment. Today’s podcast is about one of those moments. Last week, I just got back from my first Baby Bathwater Institute event on an island in Croatia.  A small group of us attended including a good friend Steven the CTO of Kyvio.  We were both absolutely blown away by the experience, so much that we had to hop on the podcast and create a follow-up episode for the event.  If you are thinking about checking out Baby Bathwater make sure you tune it. I think we can help you make up your mind!

“It kind of feels like we were playing Mario Bros. and we went a random tube in Level 2 and ended up in Level 10!”  Steven quoting Idahosa Ness

02:10: What is Baby Bathwater Island and Why Are We Talking About It?

100 Interviews with 100 Location Independent Entrepreneurs That Have Over $1,000,000 in Annual Revenue

Hello listeners and welcome back to the show! Today, we have a very special show for you. Many of you know this already, but The Entrepreneur House is going through a rebrand. It has been a long process that has taken over a year and a lot of hard work. We are doing this for a couple reasons; One, the company and podcast is really growing in a different direction. While we have really enjoyed over three years of hosting entrepreneurs from around the world and creating some amazing experiences, we have to be honest with ourselves and admit, it is time to up-brand. Don’t worry though, we will still be creating amazing events for entrepreneurs and delivering some incredible content through the podcast. The second reason is, that the word ‘Entrepreneur’ is trademarked by Entrepreneur Magazine and they have been initiating lawsuits against companies that use the word ‘entrepreneur’ in their business. We interviewed David Lizerbram who is an attorney that represented a company while going through this process in Episode 211 ~ What Entrepreneurs Need to Know About Trademark and Copyright Law. This has become a very expensive and timely process for many companies, so long story short, we bit the bullet and are changing our name before this becomes an issue. But don’t worry, if you are currently subscribed to the podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn, PodBean or any other platform, you won’t need to change a thing. You will just see a name change when you go to look for the show.  

So, we wanted to bring on an entrepreneur that has created amazing results building a 7-figure location independent business and knows a lot about the branding process. Enter, Ben ey bear Hebert. Ben is the founder of Natural Stacks. Natural Stacks is a supplement company that helps people achieve the highest level of performance with natural solutions that work. It is also a company that took Ben from less than $3,000 in his bank account to over $1,000,000 in revenue his first year in business.

On the show, Ben walks us through a rebrand and asks some really good questions that can help anyone creating a new brand or reestablishing their brand. From naming, colors, and logos, Ben shares the questions he had to ask himself and walks us through the process he went through branding Natural Stacks. Later in the show, Ben talks about getting to your next level of business, tapping into trends and what he would do if he had to start all over.

It is an incredible episode full of high-value content and without further adieu...Ben Hebert

“Just stay in the game. If you stay in long enough, you will find success, and you’ll make it happen!” Ben Hebert
