The Irreplaceable Man Podcast

Do you have the mindset you need to break through challenges? In this episode, Robert Clinkenbeard joins host Ian Lobas to discuss how to be intentional every day and how unhappy business owners can transition to working “on” the business rather than “in” it.

Robert is the CEO of The Radix Group, which has offices in Greenville, Phoenix, and the UK. Raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, Robert moved to Arizona in 1999. He is an entrepreneur and a four time Ironman. Having sold his $20M company, he now has several franchises, multiple real estate investments and the largest Peer Group facilitation company in the US, all while raising a large family. He is also a senior leader in EO and therefore understands the challenges of CEOs within growing companies.

His book, ‘Ironman Mindset for Entrepreneurs’, helps entrepreneurs develop the same mindset as athletes that have succeeded by pushing their current mental and physical limits.

Robert has found that entrepreneurs who work in the business are typically exhausted and they take out some of their frustration on their family and miss out on quality family time, whether it’s at the dinner table or sporting events. That’s why he works hard to get them out of the business so they can work “on” it instead.

If you don't have those people you either need to change them or preferably coach them into becoming key players. Once you have those players in place, they will need a roadmap and KPIs to effectively achieve their goals and manage the business.

Wouldn’t you love to get your finances in order? In this episode, host Ian Lobas discusses with Ryan Clark, founder of Qube Money, how to manage your money with purpose.

Ryan began his career in the real estate market, flipping five houses at the age of 18. Later, as a mortgage broker, he found that his true passion was teaching people about money.

He is the author of the book ‘The Order of Wealth’, which explains a simple process anyone can use to create and keep wealth.

As a financial planner for more than ten years, Ryan watched his clients fail at budgeting over and over again. He would recommend programs, but none of them seemed to stick. He saw some success with the traditional cash envelope budgeting system; however, they’d usually fall off the wagon when clients shopped online.

That’s what inspired him to take the cash envelope system and make it digital. Ryan launched Qube Money to provide better tools, systems, and training to clients, allowing them to work toward real financial freedom.

Diamond Dallas Page is an inspirational example of a life lived with purpose. In this episode, he proves that anything is possible with dedication, hard work and a laser focus on your dream. Host Ian Lobas uncovers the fascinating story of this famous professional wrestler turned fitness guru.

Diamond Dallas Page is a retired three-time WCW World Heavyweight Champ, World TV Champ, two-time US Champ, four-time Tag Team Champ, and with the WWF is a former European Champ and Tag Team Champ. In 2017, he was inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame.

For the first 42 years of his life, Dallas was a guy who "wouldn't be caught dead" doing yoga, or anything like it. When he ruptured his L4 and L5 spinal discs during the height of his professional wrestling career, he was so desperate to keep his childhood dream alive that he tried yoga and discovered its restorative effects.

He initially developed DDP Yoga for athletes like himself who had suffered years of injuries due to high-impact sports. This phenomenally successful program is now designed to help everyone who is deconditioned, or even immobile. DDP Yoga integrates yoga with rehabilitation techniques, calisthenics and dynamic resistance.

Dallas’ book ‘Positively Unstoppable’ is a blueprint to help people own their lives and their dreams. In his discussion with Ian, he talks about the impact of the stories you tell yourself, what he learned about fairweather friends from early in life and how, like Ian, he became an expert at healing his own body.

After struggling with social anxiety and shyness, he became determined to find a way to break free. Today, he is the founder of the Center for Social Confidence.
