  • Episode 0 - Why The Essential 11?

    It may not seem like it, but this episode is about you. In fact, this whole podcast is about you. 

    When Matt was young, he wanted to be just like Micheal Jordan. Now, while he may not have been blessed with the same DNA that would make him grow into an all-star basketball player, he did learn that by copying those you admire, you can encounter unprecedented growth as a person. 

    Recently, Matt was deeply inspired by the book "Tribe of Mentors" by Tim Ferriss. It was through reading this that he began to create The Essential 11. He narrowed down from his research into concrete data and his daily interactions with students the top eleven questions young people have for successful and influential people. Questions including:

    • How to handle anxiety
    • How to build self-confidence
    • Your best piece of financial advice
    • What traits would you want to see in a young person who is coming to work for you

      • And he's doing the hard work for you- tracking these people down and getting the answers directly from them, all in one place. Leaders, entrepreneurs such as Gary Vaynerchuk, football players, Youtubers, influencers, public speakers, music artists, actors, authors, you name it, they'll be here.

      Mindset. Happiness. Education. Memorization.

    • Close-Mindedness and Censorship: We're Combating Both

      As many of our followers know, we have an event happening on June 22nd, 2019. An event that is intended to shine a light on the diminishing ability to debate and share ideas in this country, most prominently on college campuses.   

      The slogan of the "No Safe Spaces" movie by Adam Carolla and Dennis Prager is "What happens on campus doesn't stay on campus'. And as censorship on campuses is normalized, so the same can be seen on social media. That includes us trying to get the message out about our event. When attempting to run an ad for No Safe Spaces, we were met with adversity. Due to Facebook's policies, we cannot run ads unless we identify as partisan.

    • Transitioning to Self Direction

      Humans hate change, it's just our nature. But there's a lot of change that can be good, such as you or your child's transition to being self-directed. In this episode Matt talks about how that transition can be different for everyone and how traditional school can hinder that transition.
