The Daily Helping

Today our expert guest is Christian LeFer, the CEO and founder of InstantNonprofit, a turnkey service for turning your desire to make a difference into an IRS-approved 501(c)3 nonprofit at a fraction of the usual cost.

His mission is to help founders stay on mission and raise funds by providing the path to form and grow a nonprofit according to their vision and calling. He’s been interviewed by some of the top business podcasts in the world, a consultant and trainer for top nonprofit executives, and he’s done it all in the nonprofit space.

Christian never expected to start a nonprofit to help other people launch their own nonprofit – mainly because there’s a lot of paperwork involved, and he hated paperwork. His sister was developmentally disabled, and he found himself being amazed at how many events there were for her to take part in. Around 2010 he had the opportunity to help some friends start a nonprofit, and when he called the IRS, it became clear how many obstacles there are standing in the way of people who just want to do something good. He started digging into what would make the bureaucrats at the IRS happy, and he curated a process called “a love letter to a bureaucrat.” He got approval just sixty days after that, and quickly discovered he was onto something there was demand for.

Like Christian, many people’s passion for starting a nonprofit begins in childhood. Starting a business can be a great way to find meaning and solve problems in the world, but sometimes the problem you want to solve isn’t a good match for business and can’t be neatly monetized. That’s where nonprofits can provide a great level of meaning in your life, far beyond what a business could.

Despite how much negativity is out there in the news and the world, there is so much good happening too. Charitable donations are on the rise, and people are more invested in making an impact than ever before. There are bright spots out there. The old model is over.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“There are a lot of reasons not to start a nonprofit or not to start anything. We are busy, we’re frazzled, we have lots of things demanding our attention, and this is not necessarily a logic based decision, right, to get involved in a cause. It’s kind of like falling in love, it’s kind of like meeting a new person. It’s not about finding the right person and speed dating. It’s about finding and just spending a little bit of time with your own heart and deciding what is going to be that thing that I want on my epitaph, that I have people say about me? What would I like to be known for if there are no other constraints? And if the answer is to give back to the community in some way, and there isn’t an avenue, if there is an avenue, by all means go help that nonprofit and join that cause and push it forward. But if it’s not being addressed in a way that you believe is important, then there is an avenue to express that.”

Today our expert guest is Dr. Robb Kelly, a renowned addiction consultant that believes in treating the problems and causes of addiction, not the symptoms. He’s worked for over 20 years to help addicts and alcoholics recover their lives from the disease of chemical dependence. He holds a PhD from The University of Oxford, and shares his personal, very powerful story of how addiction took hold of his life.

Dr. Robb has lectured on the subjects of addiction at high profile universities, national conferences, business organizations, hospitals, and more. He’s appeared on TV shows such as The Doctors and USA Today, and his no-nonsense, candid approach to addiction has earned him the nickname “the Gordon Ramsay of the addiction world.” 

Even if you aren’t battling addiction in your own life, statistically speaking, it will touch your life in some way, at some point. The more you can learn about how to deal with it, the better equipped you’ll be.

Robb started drinking at the age of nine. When he drank, his body and mind completely changed and he stopped thinking like other people. After university, he became intrigued by why he couldn’t bring himself to quit drinking. Alcohol cost him everything: his wife left him, he was evicted, he lost contact with his children, and he ended up living on the streets for 14 months. In his darkest moment, he asked God for help, and he immediately ran into a man seeking to help. That was the start of his recovery process.

There’s a reason the traditional methods of treating alcoholism haven’t worked: they were developed at a time when people didn’t understand what alcoholism was. Everyone thinks that an alcoholic relapses once he picks up a drink, but that’s not true. It’s something that happens a week or two earlier, when his body and attitude starts to alter.

What Dr. Robb discovered about addiction changed everything. It revolves around how the brain reacts to trauma. The hypothalamus of an alcoholic tells them to drink alcohol and the only way to change that is to look at the neural pathways in order to rewrite our subconscious, core beliefs.

This constitutes Dr. Robb’s program:

• Change the neural pathways
• Store good thoughts in the subconscious brain
• Change your behavior
• Be nice to people
• Do the right thing every day and don’t be selfish

When you run all of these together in the right way, it becomes impossible to drink. You can push on and move through this.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“If you’re sat at home, guys, and you don’t think you’re worthy, and you don’t think you’re good enough, and you don’t think you’re going to get out of depression, I want to apologize to you. Somebody put that there. We are born with million dollar minds. Stop hanging around two cent minds. Get with your clique that push you forward. If people are not pushing you forward, and applauding, and backing you up when you want to go further, they’re not your crew. Find your own crew, guys.”

Today our expert guest is Rebecca Hulse, an author, speaker, and creative rebel at heart. She’s shown up in places like Thrive Global, Women’s Weekly, and Small Business Daily. She’s a business coach on a mission to help creatives be successful without being exceedingly serious and aiding entrepreneurs in bringing their ideas to life by giving them the tools that fit their purpose.

As someone who revels in shaking up the realities and limiting paradigms of her clients, Rebecca thrives in situations where the impossible transitions to possible. A former recording artist and one of the voices for millennials, she is the personification of her motto, “Impossible is temporary.”

Rebecca’s parents were personal development junkies, which gave her a strong foundation to stand on – but at the end of the day, she had to be the one to take action for her life. From early on, she was sure that she wanted to be a dancer, but dancers don’t make much money. When her path to dancing professionally became a little too easy, she decided to start a business on the side.

Rebecca wrote “Rebellious Rituals” for the former version of herself – for “the yogi who drinks wine.” When she was 18, working on her dance career and business at the same time, she realized that the tools she had weren’t working for her. She was high-strung and over-stressed and meditation just wasn’t working for her. She looked for more tools and eventually uncovered the Access Consciousness movement – and the concepts stuck. She started creating her own processes and rituals based on everything she could find that worked, and it all went into her book.

Being an introverted businessperson can be difficult. The assumption is that, if you’re an entrepreneur, you’re an out there, people person. But that’s not always the case. It’s OK to want to get away from people sometimes. That’s one of the first acts of rebellion: acknowledging your own thoughts and feelings and not pushing them away and telling yourself that they’re wrong.

However you choose to rebel, Rebecca wants you to recognize that it’s alright to do so. We are all unique, and our best chance at success is leaning into that energy to make it what we will. The strongest version of you is the one that’s the most “you.”

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“Every energy you come across or create, it’s OK. It’s just an energy. And if you know it, you can change it. You truly are the source for every single thing that shows up in your life and you should be proud of it. You’ve gotten this far. What are you going to do next?”

Today our expert guest is Sharon Lechter, an internationally recognized financial literacy expert, keynote speaker, and business mentor. She’s a New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and has enjoyed a 35-year career as a licensed CPA, in which she’s advised two US Presidents on the topic of financial literacy. She co-authored the international bestseller “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” and 14 other books in the “Rich Dad” series.

Her newest title, “Exit Rich,” is designed to support entrepreneurs as they build value and scalability in their businesses and position them to generate the greatest potential.

Sharon grew up in an entrepreneurial home, but she swore she would never become an entrepreneur, herself. She wanted to be a professional, but at 25, she realized that professional life was not all it was cracked up to be. She accepted an invitation from a client to get into the entrepreneurial world, and that became her turning point. She never looked back.

She went on to start a women’s magazine and the world’s first talking, children’s book. She thought she’d taught her son about money, but when he returned from college with credit card debt, she dedicated the rest of her career to financial literacy and entrepreneurial education.

For anyone who feels like they’re only just getting by on their current earnings, acknowledge that knowing where you are financially is the first step. Even if the picture is bleak, you’ll know your starting position. Then you can start taking action to improve it, one step at a time: reduce your expenses, increase your income, and create additional revenue. It’s a recipe to erase negative feelings surrounding your financial outlook.

When you’re building up financial systems, you have to start with a strong foundation. That’s what “Exit Rich” is all about: providing the roadmap to building a successful business. Even if you’re just starting and haven’t even considered leaving, you want to build in an exit route so that you have the option down the road. 

There are six ‘P’s to check against any business to see how they stack up:

• People
• The business can’t revolve around you. When someone is looking to buy a business, they are also looking at who comes with it.
• Product
• What are you selling?
• Processes
• You want to have the processes in place so that your business can scale.
• Proprietary
• What makes you unique? What gives you a competitive advantage?
• Patrons
• Who are your customers? And do you nurture them?
• Profit
• This is self-explanatory and it should come as a given when you take care of the other five.

Whether you’re planning to exit or not, it’s important to keep the option on the table. A single phone call could change your life and the trajectory of your business forever.

Today our expert guest is Jamie Mustard. He’s a strategic multimedia consultant, artist, designer, and product futurist. He has codified the primal laws of what causes anything to stand out and take hold in the human mind, regardless of medium. His breakout work, “The Iconist: The Art and Science of Standing Out,” won the 2019 Outstanding Works of Literature Award. Jamie is a resident staff writer at Forbes, and Rich Karlgaard, Forbes’ publisher, says he has cracked the code when it comes to magnetizing attention.

He has worked with some of the most incredible, well-known companies in the world such as Nike, Cisco, Intel, Adidas, Semantic, and TEDx and, today, we’re going to talk about his passion for understanding the art and the science behind noticeability.

The early part of Jamie’s life was very difficult. A child of extreme poverty and neglect, and with parents in and out of his life, Jamie was only semi-literate through most of his teens. Desperate to turn things around, he moved to live with a relative so that he could attend school, took remedial classes in community college, and five and half years later, graduated from the London School of Economics. Now, his life is almost the opposite of where he started: teaching some of the most successful artists, brands, and CEOs how to stand out in a world of overload. 

After living a life of invisibility, Jamie realized that through all of the noise of this world, we’re all experiencing the same thing. Growing up, he learned to recognize the primal laws that explain why we pay attention to some things and discard others, and he managed to write them down to share with others. Now he helps people apply these primal laws to anything from music to social change.

Everyone experiences content bombardment and we’re all harder to see in this day and age. It’s nearly impossible to get the attention of those we desire. In the 1950s, you would be subject to around 250 pieces of advertising a day. By 1970 that was up to 500. By the late ’90s, the average person was being bombarded with five to seven thousand and, today, that number is even higher, still: between ten and fifteen thousand.

Jamie calls one of his primal laws “The Block.” When you put a toy block in front of a baby, it freezes. This happens for a few reasons: the block is comparatively large to them, there are intricacies to it, and it’s unusual. Anything big and complex makes us stop and look. A block is a monolithic, simple thing that you can duplicate over and over again. Forget fifty years; it’s possible to make it iconic within five minutes.

Today, Jamie is working on something entirely different. So many people have experienced trauma in their lives and trauma is relative. Jamie is no stranger to trauma, himself, and while working with a doctor, he learned that post-traumatic stress disorder isn’t actually a disorder at all: it’s an injury. He’s making a film to explore this topic and find a way we can fix this epidemic.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“Curiosity. As we get older we lose our curiosity. Curiosity is a discipline and – despite whatever we’ve been through – focusing on what we have: human connection and relationships – which are our true net worth, not money. What we have in terms of wealth is our net assets; it’s not our worth. Our worth is our meaning and our relationships. Do we work in a life of meaning and do we have good relationships? That’s our net worth. That’s driven by curiosity and gratitude – finding what to be grateful for. Our minds – because of our evolutionary biology – are psychologically hardwired to be velcro for the bad and teflon for the good, so when you’re curious and you focus on reframing things towards gratitude – no matter what bad happens – you get more good and you have a more positive outlook on life.”

Today our expert guest is Dr. John Demartini, a world-renowned specialist in human behavior, researcher, author, polymath, and global educator. He’s the author of 40 books published in 39 different languages ranging from personal development, wealth, education, and business. He’s shared the stage with some of the world’s most influential people including Sir Richard Branson, Stephen Covey, Steve Wozniak, Robert Kiyosaki, Tony Fernandez, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, and many more.

Dr. Demartini has presented to crowds of thousands and worked with entrepreneurs, board members, CEOs, managers, teams, and employees at companies including IBM, Shell, Merrill Lynch, and Maserati Ferrari. He’s also been featured in media outlets such as “O,” “Larry King Live,” “Huffington Post,” Mindvalley, “Sky News,” News.com.au, and more.

As a child, John had a speech impediment. He was told he would never be able to read, write, or learn effectively. He dropped out of school and lived as a drifter from 13 to 18. He fell in love with surfing, and managed to make his way to Hawaii where he lived under bridges, tents, and anywhere he could find a place to sleep. He surfed every day, but at 17 he almost died. A lady found him and took him to a health food store to get him some food. There, John saw a flier for a speaker, and something intuitively told him he had to go and listen. The speaker was a man named Paul C. Bryan and his speech moved John so much that he believed he could overcome his learning problems.

He returned home and began studying to try and go back to school. At first, he failed and almost gave up, but his mother saw him crying on the living room floor and told him something only a mother could: “Whether you become a great teacher and philosopher, return to Hawaii to ride the waves, or return to the streets and panhandle as a bum, your father and I will love you no matter what.” With that unconditional love, John gathered the determination to do whatever it took to master his learning disabilities.

He’s now on a mission to learn the universal principles across all disciplines that help people become the best version of themselves. There’s one principle that stands steady called “The Law of the One and the Many.” This has thousands of applications, even down to our neurology. The laws of nature are always trying to bring us back to balance.

If you prioritize your life and give yourself permission to shine – not shrink – you will be a master of your own destiny; not a victim of history.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“Everybody has a set of priorities, a set of values that they live their life by. And all of those are revolving. At any moment they’re filtering how you perceive, decide, and act. Whatever’s highest on that value list, you’re spontaneously inspired to act on that. It’s the most fulfilling. Your ontological identity revolves around it, your piscological pursuit of knowledge revolves around it, and your teleological purpose revolves around it. If you give yourself permission to prioritize your day and do the highest priority actions and fulfill what is most deeply meaningful, you will awaken your executive function which will bring you an inspired vision, help you strategically plan a pathway, make you execute the plan spontaneously, and allow you to self-govern the amygdala from its impulses and instincts that distract. If you prioritize your life and fill your day with high-priority actions that inspire you, your life won’t fill up with low-priority distractions that don’t.”

Today our expert guest is Kate Eckman, author of “The Full Spirit Workout,” a Columbia certified executive leadership coach, with experience as a well-known communications, performance, and mindfulness expert. An accomplished entrepreneur and an elite athlete, she leverages her wealth of knowledge to equip business leaders with the tools, methodology, and energy they need to excel. Her work is rooted in neuroscience, positive psychology, and whole-person coaching techniques.

Passionate about mindfulness techniques for both brain and body, Kate is a meditation teacher and course creator in the world’s #1 free meditation app. Her book has been endorsed by some of the top athletes and most successful people on the planet.

Kate was a competitive swimmer for 17 years. Athletics were her life. As she worked her very front-facing, public career as a TV host and journalist, she was struggling – like most people. She was well aware of what it took to train your physical muscles to compete at a high level, but what about your mental, emotional, and spiritual muscles? After the loss of two loved ones to suicide, Kate created The Full Spirit Workout while coping with her grief.

The Full Spirit Workout is a 10-step system designed to shed your self-doubt, strengthen your spiritual core, and create a fun, fulfilling life. Just like any physical workout, it starts with a stretch – but instead of muscles, you’re stretching your comfort zone. That’s when you have to expand, grow, and become the kind of person who can achieve their goals.

There are three exercises you can do to get started today:

• Sit and stare: spend five minutes a day in a quiet room, alone, with no distractions. It may sound horrifying, but if it does then you need this practice more than anyone. It’s a chance to get in touch with yourself, reflect, and process.
• Gratitude visit: think of someone who has helped you that you have never thanked. Write that person a 300-word letter explaining how they helped you and what they mean to you. If possible, call them up and tell them you want to visit without explaining why then read them this letter. This will improve your wellbeing for weeks, if not months, to come.
• Reframing: instead of getting stuck thinking something is awful, use two words to get yourself out of that situation: “what if?” What if this didn’t suck? What if this was easy? What if this was fun? It makes things instantly feel so much better.

We all understand the importance of taking care of our bodies. It’s time we start taking care of our mind and spirit, the same way.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“Remember how powerful you are and take that knowledge from your brain, from your head, move it down into your heart, to your body, let it breathe into your bones. Know that, in your bones, that you are powerful. Not because of what you have, what you do, but because of who you are and nobody can ever take that from you. And just know that you can do whatever you decide is important enough, so decide. Get clear on what’s important to you and know that you can have it if you are just willing to show up and do your best.”

Today, our expert guest is Teri Cochrane, the founder of the Global Sustainable Health Institute and an international thought leader in longevity. Through her decades of clinical work, Teri has developed “The Cochrane Method,” a future-facing, multi-system wellness model that examines the intersection of genetic tendencies, energy, and her client’s current state of health.

Teri specializes in solutions to complex health problems and serves world-class athletes. She’s also the author of “The Wildatarian Diet: Living as Nature Intended,” which looks into how there is no one-size-fits-all prescription for diet and how pathogens, stress, and the environment can influence our genes and, therefore, our health.

Prior to her pioneering work in nutrition and wellness, Teri worked in the world of institutional finance and risk management. When her first child turned three years old, doctors told her to prepare to raise a broken child. Over the next several years, he was in and out of the hospital. As a Cuban refugee, there was a voice in Teri’s head that told her, “What if it doesn’t have to be this way?” She applied her risk management skills to find an alternative plan for him. An epiphone came when she realized that it was the foods he was eating that made him so sick. After removing just a few select foods, within five days, he was breathing better and growing more. From that point on, she became a keen observer of alternative modalities.

Her learning continued when her daughter became critically ill from a botched wisdom tooth extraction which knocked her hormones completely out of balance. When Teri was able to match her genetic blueprint to her current state of health—and eat and supplement to her genetic tendencies—she got better.

How do we determine what our genetic blueprint is and whether or not it’s good for a particular diet or food? That’s where The Cochrane Method comes into play. In her practice, they perform a genetic analysis to determine how your genes interplay between you and your symptomatology. The Wildatarian diet is based on the four tenets of protein, fat, sulfur, and oxalate metabolism impairment. When you know which of these impairments you have, you can tailor your diet and tune your body to run at it’s best.

It’s almost impossible to completely avoid some of the things that are harmful to us—especially pesticides, which are used on so much of what we eat. Teri knows that it’s hard to completely eliminate, so her advice is: “Don’t tip the scales.” That means do what you can with what’s available to you. Buy organic when possible, because while it’s not completely clean, it is better. Don’t spray Roundup on your lawns or in your home and support the areas of your body that handle detoxification.

We’re not all meant to eat the same things. Learn more about the way your body reacts to foods and eat in the way that serves it best.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“The biggest firestarter is our thinking. If we have thoughts that are negative—thinking thoughts such as scarcity or fear or consternation or things that help us not be our best self—we actually turn on the signal to the gene by thought alone. The thought creates the thing. Studies show that when we have negative thought patterns, it lowers our secretary IGA—which is our immune function—by up to 50% for up to five hours. A 50% reduction in potential immune function for up to five hours by negative thinking. And, so, what I invite your audience to do is catch yourself in whatever thought you’re having. “Is it contractive in my field? Do I feel yucky when I think about this?” Or, “Do I feel expansive?” And say, “I interrupt this thinking and I’m going to a higher thinking mode.” And I call it—just like a firefighter—stop, drop, and roll. Stop that thinking—that thinking or that emotion—drop it through moving energy by doing a dance, shouting, singing, going for a run, and then roll into a higher frequency emotion of gratitude or peace or joy by inciting a memory that gave us that emotion. And it literally, in real time, will support immune function.”

Today our expert guest is Ryan Levesque, the CEO of The ASK Method® Company and author of the #1 national best-selling book, “ASK,” featured in Inc. Magazine as their #1 Marketing Book of the Year and by Entrepreneur Magazine as their #2 Must-Read Book. Over 250,000 entrepreneurs subscribe to his email newsletter to hear his advice.

Ryan was very successful in the corporate world, but he decided to leave it behind in order to help entrepreneurs make changes to their lives. In the midst of a quarter-life crisis, Ryan wrote a long letter addressed to his mother — but actually intended for himself — trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. In 2008, he walked away from everything because he wanted to take control of his life and income. With an initial goal of earning $10k a month, Ryan had his first 10 million dollar year, just 10 years later. Whether your goal is to make $10k a month, $10 million a year, or somewhere in between, Ryan can teach you the tools to apply to your life and business to make it happen.

More important than Ryan’s desires were what he didn’t want to do: he didn’t want to manage a team and he didn’t want to be constantly traveling for work. The goal was just a simple business that he could use to provide for his family, and he found that simple business in a tiny niche: teaching people how to make jewelry using Scrabble tiles. While, ultimately, that turned out to be a fad, he was able to use what he learned to examine the market and explore a new niche - this time, one that was tried and tested with no chance of fizzling out: gardening. With no aspirations of becoming a marketing guru, he was simply trying to build a business to provide for his family. 

Along the way, Ryan discovered that tailoring your approach to each individual customer showed much better business results. Getting to know your clientele and customizing your product and marketing specifically towards them creates a personal resonance and a happier, more profitable, business, as a result. This was the inspiration for Ryan to invent the technique he calls “quiz funnels.”

There are three reasons why quiz funnels work so well:

• They tap into the power of self-discovery to offer incredibly cheap traffic
• They customize copy to your customer, offering incredibly high conversion rates
• They offer their results incredibly quickly. People love to share quizzes with their friends, so they’re primed to recommend you

As long as you find the right quiz for your business, you can start talking to customers in a way that feels personal and unique.

The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

“Remember: you don’t have to get it perfect; you just have to get it going, and the best time to get it going is right here, right now, today. And if you are a high performer, if you’re highly educated, if you’re a smart person - which I know you are; you’re listening to this right now - we tend to, people like us, tend to struggle with perfection paralysis. We think things have to be perfect before we release them. Well, with a quiz funnel, the name of the game is getting your first version out the door as quickly as possible, iterating, and improving. So, remember, you don’t have to get it perfect; you just have to get it going, and the best first step is to start brainstorming what type of quiz makes sense for your business: type, killer, or score.”

Today our expert guest is Dr. Bernie Siegel, a sought-after speaker, media presence, and author of many best-selling books, including “Love, Medicine & Miracles” and “365 Prescriptions for the Soul,” which have sold millions of copies, worldwide. He’s been named one of the top 20 spiritually influential living people on the planet as he’s impacted countless lives all over the world with his wisdom, and now he’s here to share with all of us.

When Bernie went to a conference he believed was for doctors to help cancer patients, he realized he was the only doctor in the room — everyone else was a patient. One of his patients sat with him, and when he asked why she came, she said “I feel better when I’m in the office with you, but I can’t take you home with me. I need to know how to live between office visits.” When you help people to exist, they can surpass their life expectancy, even if it came as part of a diagnosis. 

His work has transcended helping cancer patients, now helping people in all areas of life. His first book, “Love, Medicine & Miracles,” recognized what led people to overcome the predictions of their doctors. There is a personality that improves your lifespan. Your internal chemistry is altered by your thoughts and feelings, so changing your attitude can realistically change your outcome. He became the coach that teaches people how to be a survivor.

In his book “365 Prescriptions for the Soul,” Bernie wanted to help people live life. He offered bite-sized inspirations, combining his unique blend of heart, humor, and wisdom. This is the prescription for busy people who want to create a sense of well-being on the go.

“No matter what you’ve heard from parents, school teachers or other authorities, you are divine. You are a child of God. You are divine.Know that and respect that about yourself so that you can find self-love, respect, and love yourself. Make time for yourself to send love to your body and fill your heart with love and pump it out to your body.”
