The Daily Helping

Today, we’re joining you live on location in Park City, Utah at the GoBundance event with our expert guest, Ken Wimberly. He’s the founder and visionary behind Legacy of Love Inc., the founder and CVO of KW Net Lease Advisors, co-founder of Laundry Luv, and an investor and founding operating principal – as well as franchise owner – of Keller Williams Realty in Abilene, Texas.

Ken’s entire business philosophy is about creating a legacy of love. From the launch of Legacy Journal, an app that makes capturing and cataloging the moments that matter most in a child’s life easy, to Laundry Luv, which partners with the Laundry Literacy Foundation to give books to people in the community every month, Ken strives to give back in every aspect of his businesses.

Leaving a legacy that’s going to be meaningful doesn’t have to take a lot of time, either. When Ken’s mother passed away, he found three letters that were addressed to his mother from her brother. Those three letters were some of the most important possessions he’s ever had. By being intentional about this process, it’s possible to create incredibly impactful memories and moments to leave our children with.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“Write that first story. Just sit down and write the first story. It doesn't have to be big. It can be a paragraph, a few sentences, right there. Take a photo of something you've done with your child recently and write a few sentences about why that meant something important to you. Keep that, give it to your child. You don't have to wait until sometime in the future. Print it out – give it to them right there. Let them share that moment right there and know how much you value them. Because none of us, you know, none of us knows what tomorrow holds.”

Today, our expert guest is CJ Finley, founder of ThriveOnLife, the ever-evolving and expanding personal mindset blog, podcast, and lifestyle brand. We connect over a shared mission as he describes his unconventional path to intentional living, how he’s helped others get there through launching his business, and what he’s working on lately.

CJ exudes inspiration as he describes how he lept from a predictable, but toxic, life path to an engineering career into one where he still solves problems, just without needing to involve IT systems. At the root of this great motivation were confusing and painful health issues, physical and emotional. He knew he had to make big changes for himself, and did. His success in doing so opened his mind to the idea of helping others do the same, for the rest of his life.

As he tells it, the story of his brand starts in an unexpected place. Inspired by a tragic and sudden death, his business and marriage are a great example of turning darkness into light.

CJ is now focused on his podcast, also named ThriveOnLife, and its ability to amplify voices that share our mission to help others get more out of their lives. It was great to connect with a kindred soul in this world and hear about the passion in his work.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“If you're driving to a job that you don't like, or in a relationship that you don't like, or working on a project that isn't fulfilling to you – you don't got time. Everyone says, “Oh, you have time to figure it out or time to do all these other things.” But the reality is, if you start acting like you don't have time, you're going to start being able to say no to that job that doesn't fulfill you, to that person that's toxic in your life, to those projects that seem to be taking away from you doing what you really love. The moment that you decide you don't have time for any of that is the moment that you're truly going to thrive on life.”

Today, our expert guest is Jared Yellin, co-founder of 10X Incubator. Jared found a way to scale his original tech company with $0 invested to serve over 40,000 paying users around the world. He declared a moonshot that he would build, scale, and sell 10,000 tech companies in 10 years. It’s a claim so large that some of the most influential people in the tech industry are yearning to play a role. 10X Incubator is going to democratize the tech industry and create a level playing field for all.In his early twenties, Jared knew that someday he would become a dad. This led to reflecting on his own childhood. His parents had a loud, intense divorce when he was just five. He realized that, at his age, he could start making decisions that would allow him to be the dad that he wanted to be to his future kids. 

When he thought about what that meant for him, one word came to mind: Freedom.

He started breaking down what freedom meant for him and he wrote down twelve different areas of freedom in life and what it would mean in each of them. But as he read all of that back, he realized that no one he knew had that kind of lifestyle. In order to achieve it, he would have to do things that nobody else he knew had done before. 

Fast forward to today, Jared is thirty-seven, a father of two, and has earned the freedom that he always wanted.

In that gap, things didn’t always go smoothly. Around the same time Jared began starting the company that would go on to be his first big success, he started dating the woman who would become his wife. After a late night at the office, she told him that she felt like she was an inconvenience in his life. He knew at that moment that he had his priorities backwards and that he had to put systems in place to ensure the most important things in his life were prioritized as such.

In order to make moonshot ideas happen, all while living a life of priority, you have to do a couple of things right. First, you have to have a clear and narrow focus. You also have to be willing to take maniacal action, which means people observing you might think you’re crazy because you’re taking so much action. Through it all, you must set boundaries around what’s important. Lastly, you need to talk about what you’re doing relentlessly. When you do that, you will attention that sticks.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“The majority of potential resides in the graveyard. People die with their greatness inside because they were told they were not smart enough, or not pretty enough, or they were disadvantaged and they just believed in all of that. They have all this potential that exists within them and they don't know where to go with it. They're too afraid to put it out into the world because, what if it's not well received? Instead, they play it safe, which is actually the opposite. It's so much riskier to keep your potential within. My challenge for all of you is to execute on your potential. Just do it. Get after it.”

Today, our expert guest is Dozy Mmobuosi, author, entrepreneur, and founder of Tingo Mobile PLC, Africa’s first mobile device manufacturer and IOT (internet of things) business. He also founded Tingo Mobile UK, Tingo Mobile USA, Tingo Remit, and Tingo Airlines. His expertise cuts across technology banking, energy, and telecommunications. He has led Tingo's growth to more than $600 million in annual revenue and holds a PhD in rural advancement from UPM Malaysia.Dozy started thinking like a businessperson at the age of 16 when he began selling used clothes and Legos for extra money. In University, he became a show promoter, and that short time got him in touch with several multinational businesses. After being exposed to those companies, he knew that he wanted to start a business of his own.

After starting out in online publishing and building a social networking platform in Nigeria, Dozy saw a new opportunity coming. Wireless internet and cellphone service platforms were first coming to Nigeria and he knew that it was going to change everything. He jumped at the chance to be a part of it. He started off by selling ringtones, but that wasn’t meant to last forever. While working in that industry he noticed how expensive the cost of mobile phones were and he knew that there would be a massive market for cheap mobile phones there.

Part of Dozy’s motivation behind starting these companies was that, when he looked around, he saw that big companies outside of Nigeria were interested only in the big cities where people made a lot of money. But there were people all over the country who were being left behind because technology that could provide opportunities was out of reach.

After seeing so much success in business, Dozy recently launched the Dozy Mmobuosi Foundation to give back to the people of Africa that he owes so much to. He knows what it is like to go hungry and to not have access to resources in life, and so he strives in both his business work and his philanthropy to address those issues.

“When you are creating, create something that solves a problem. Let's not just create for the sake of it. Let's remember that there are billions of people, possibly, who need solutions, who have problems that need solving.”

Today, our expert guest is Dan Millman, who teaches the Peaceful Warrior Way all over the world. He’s the author of eighteen books, published in twenty-nine languages, a former world champion athlete, university coach, martial arts instructor, and college professor. His bestselling book, “Way of the Peaceful Warrior” was adapted into a feature film starring Nick Nolte. His latest book, “Peaceful Heart, Warrior Spirit,” is now available everywhere.

As a kid, Dan discovered an old trampoline and he just loved jumping up and down on it, trying different flips. He kept jumping and improving until the practice brought him a world championship on the trampoline, entry into the new world of gymnastics, and a college scholarship. These feats and experiences seeded his curiosity of talent and how a person acquires it. In his own research, he discovered that talent is about 20% innate, while the other 80% could be developed.

He then turned to examining how being talented as an athlete might be able to help a person in other aspects of life. Being a good gymnast didn’t help him with dating, financial challenges, or career decisions, after all. 

He asked, how can we create a talent, not just for sport, but for living? His work lead to a list of the twelve areas of life that constitute personal development:

1. Discovering our worth
2. Reclaiming our will
3. Energizing our body
4. Managing our money
5. Taming our mind
6. Trusting our intuition
7. Accepting our emotions
8. Facing our fears
9. Illuminating our shadow
10. Embracing our sexuality
11. Awakening our heart
12. Serving our world

In his new book, “Peaceful Heart, Warrior Spirit,” Dan distills the teachings he’s learned over twenty years, and from four mentors, in his own life. He takes what he went through and applies it to what’s most practical in our daily lives. He reminds us that every person’s story can be powerful, and he hopes that his will bring about positive change in the lives of many others.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“I hope readers will take away, and I hope your listeners will take away, a sense of the value of trusting themselves, trusting their own lives unfolding as they are. Not as they could be or should be, but embracing their life as it is. Let's stop comparing ourselves to other people. It's a profound form of disrespect for our own self, our own process. We need to trust our process, our way of learning, and come to know who we are and accept who we are. This sense of self-acceptance and self-trust is key.”

“My favorite thing is the word inexorable. Inexorable means: Unyielding and unable to be stopped. Every morning I wake up, I talk to myself about being inexorable… Be inexorable today. You are inexorable. If you approach life that way, you will get anything you want and more, and you’ll be able to help more people than you can imagine.”

Today, our expert guest is Shelly Tygielski, the author of Sit Down to Rise Up: How Radical Self-Care Can Change the World and Founder of the global grassroots organization, Pandemic of Love. A trauma mindfulness teacher and a Garrison Institute fellow, she’s one of the twelve most powerful women of the mindfulness movement, as named by Mindful.org, and she teaches self-care and resilience at organizations around the world.

Shelly’s journey to mindfulness has taken multiple paths. Her interest was sparked early on in life when, as a traditionally-raised Orthodox Jew, she met a Buddhist couple during an internship and realized that their morning meditations left them feeling so much more present than her own morning rituals did. 

Later in her life, she was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition that left her completely blind. These moving experiences, plus her ingrained contemplative practice, led her to create a rigorous self-care plan that would seed an entire supportive community.

Shelly has a lot of good advice when it comes to creating a personalized self-care plan, which she thinks of as a piece of paper that outlines the actions you can take on a regular basis to make sure you’re feeling your best. When you’re not feeling great, you tend to reach for the things that make you feel better in the moment, but that in the long run, only make things worse: processed food, alcohol, and other vices. Having better options written down can go a long way towards making sure you make the right decisions as often as possible.

One of the most important things that Shelly recommends is getting into a habit of meditation. It’s been told time and time again how important meditation and mindfulness is for your mental health. Her perspective on it only emphasizes that point further. If you haven’t incorporated a mindfulness routine into your day, now is the time.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“The best version of the world starts with the best version of you. If you can extrapolate that out in a very formal and tangible way, commit yourself to putting together a self-care plan, and share it with at least one other person, that will begin the journey to the best version of yourself.”

Today, our expert guests are Dr. Shawn Dill and Dr. Lacey Book. They are both chiropractors by profession but have transitioned into doing some amazing things in the world by running the Black Diamond Club, a group of over 600 professionals with a desire to reach more people and make a bigger impact in the world – all while creating and living the lifestyle they deserve. Their work is driven by relationships, collaboration, and a mission where health and success are seen as fundamental truths rather than fundamental pursuits. 

Dr. Shawn was passionate about chiropractic work at a young age and knew he wanted to change the world. As he entered into his 30s, he compared his strenuous workload to his global impact and realized how limited his scope for change was. He knew that, at the pace he was moving, he would not accomplish all of his goals. 

Dr. Lacey, on the other hand, never thought she would be a chiropractor. The profession chose her. She was working at a bank when someone recruited her and she fell in love with the field. She soon realized that all service providers struggle with the same issues: marketing, sales, and mindset. 

Service providers are endlessly passionate about giving their services to people. They want to help, which makes it hard to balance the business and service halves of the equation. The Black Diamond Club formed as a way to help service providers be more successful in managing that blend, so that they had more to give.

Seeing that most service providers were struggling to treat their business like a business, Dr. Shawn Dill and Dr. Lacey Book came together to write “None of Your Business.” They embrace the concepts of entrepreneurship and help people feel excited about becoming a businessperson, in addition to a service provider.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“I have one line that I live my life by: Done is better than perfect. So many people out there strive for perfection. They worry about even getting online, doing a live video, taking a photo, or putting themselves out there, because they’re worried about this perfection that needs to be portrayed. Done is better than perfect. If you just do, you will go so much farther.”

“History remembers people who have had a conviction stronger than their desire to please. Every historical figure, good and bad, who we remember, they were convicted in something and they did not let the world shape that conviction. They stood for something. Go out and stand for something and you can make a massive impact.”
