Three years ago, Hal Elrod was a budding and successful entrepreneur.

With a world-recognized best seller (The Miracle Morning) under his belt and a thriving business, Hal was on a trajectory of growth and success.

But it was all threatened when he was diagnosed with a form of cancer that has just a 10% chance of survival. 

Hal was forced to face death square in the face.

Entrepreneurs focus on growth, accomplishment, and overcoming challenges. But Hal had to face the biggest challenge of his life, and his business was put on hold. 

To save his life, his health, and his family, Hal had to automate his business and put his accomplishments on hold. As a result, Hal overcame impossible odds and beat the cancer.

Today, he has a unique perspective on lifestyle design and entrepreneurship. After working to achieve success, he was threatened with losing it all. Today, he offers his perspective on what is truly important in life.

Your biggest problem as an entrepreneur the is the way you think.

The biggest problem in this world is the way that it thinks about problems. Peter Diamandis is the biggest influence on solving both of these problems, because he shatters what is “normal” and empowers entrepreneurs to solve the world’s greatest challenges.

Peter’s biggest focus right now is extending the human lifespan by a healthy 30 years.

This inspiring talk about the optimism of the future will get you thinking about the next billion dollar business ideas around the corner.

Cameron Herold has been a part of three different $100m companies in his career. Most notably, he took 1-800-Got-Junk? from $2m to $106m in six years while serving as the COO.

Cameron is the “how” guy behind building really big businesses. 

If you have a big vision, Cameron is the “how to get there” guy. He is also the trainer of #2’s, meaning he trains COOs and implementers to execute your vision.

While running $100m businesses and working to empower COOs, Cameron is a father, speaker, and the author of Double Double: How To Double Your Revenue and Profit In Three Years Or Less. Mike Dillard called it “one of his favorites,” and the only step-by-step guide to building a business that he considers “worth reading.”

Brian Lee is the guy who turns internet companies into billion dollar empires.

Plenty of people have grown physical product brands to seven or eight figures. Brian is among a rare group of entrepreneurs who know how to take a brand to $100 million and beyond, and he’s done it more than once.

Brian Lee is a serial billionaire eCommerce entrepreneur, and he has co-founded three separate eCommerce companies, each with more than a billion dollars in sales.

If you sell physical products or take orders online, Brian Lee has the playbook for growing it into a billion dollar company. He’s done it three times.

Brian was the co-founder of LegalZoom, ShoeDazzle, and The Honest Company, where he served as the CEO until March 2017. Each became the leaders in their categories and turned established industries on their heads.

Bruce Friedrich is leading food industry disruption by making plant-based meat palatable to the masses - a healthy option in an industy that has suffered from poor beef processing methods.

Bruce exemplifies our belief that capitalists who combine purpose and profit motives can achieve success, generating solutions to our problems and wealth at the same time.

This is an area where purpose and profit collide. That’s exactly why we invited him to speak at the Capitalism Conference.

In addition to advising some of the world’s largest companies, Kimbal also is the founder of The Kitchen, the first “farm to table” restaurant, thus giving him keen insight for his advisory role at Chipotle. As a result, Kimbal is known as the godfather of the farm to table movement and is leading the entrepreneurial movement in the food industry.

This is a presentation from Capitalism.com Founder Ryan Daniel Moran. This is a talk about entrepreneurship and building an online business bigger than yourself. Spoiler Alert: the key to building an 8-figure business is patience. After the birth of his daughter Ryan started thinking on a much longer time scale.

It is easier now than it has ever been to build a seven or eight figure business BUT the days of selling on Amazon by just finding a product and throwing it online are over, and you have to think bigger than that.

Start by building your BRAND. Create a controlled area for your audience so you can sell to them. Be willing to suck until you don’t suck anymore. This presentation is from the The Amazing Seller Summit in Las Vegas. To meet Ryan in person come to our annual event, The Capitalism Conference.
