May 17, 2016 Dandapani - Meditation Expert (Episode 10)
I first came across Dandapani at a Mastermind retreat in Napa. I knew I wanted to have him on the podcast and I feel so fortunate to have finally had the chance to have him on.

We covered so many things but I still have so many questions - I hope to have him on a second time to touch on meditation and entrepreneurship and maybe even have him guide us through a meditation.

I’m realizing that meditation has many more layers than I had originally realized when I started several years ago. There are many different purposes and practises and ways of looking at it.

I think it is important to find what works for you and I hope to bring on as many different perspectives as possible in future podcasts. I learned so much and I hope you do as well.

April 25, 2016 Daniel Burrus - Futurist, Author, Entrepreneur
Welcome to Maximum Impact Episode 9 with Daniel Burrus - Keynote Speaker,
Business Strategist, Global Futurist and New York Times and The
Wall Street Journal Best selling author. We discuss how to see the
Invisible and Do the Impossible.
I came across Daniel on LinkedIn. He writes some of the best
articles I’ve ever read and has nearly 800,000 followers! I
recently read his New York Times and The Wall Street Journal Best
selling book Flash Foresight and I was blown away. I often talk of
testing assumptions with fake products and ads before jumping in
and investing time and money into a product to assess market
interest but he dials things back ever earlier in the process. He
analyzes trends, categorizes them as hard trends and soft trends
and has developed a scientific systematic approach to problem
solving and building companies.
We had a great chat and at times, it may have sounded like I was
pitching his stuff. To be very clear, I was not paid to do this
podcast or any other podcast - I just think he's come up with an
amazing framework and strategy that is in sharp contrast with the
“throw spaghetti on the wall and see what sticks” guess work. That
not to say that failure isn’t part of the process but I’m convinced
Daniel’s approach will increase the probability of success by at
least 10x.
One last thing - there was a bit of a delay in the line and
there were a few occasions where I interrupted Daniel and that
wasn’t intentional. I hop you enjoy our conversation!

April 12, 2016 Tucker Max: Book in a Box (Episode 8)
Today’s guest is Tucker Max. Tucker is a well known author with millions of books sold and is an absolutely fascinating individual. He started out his writing career by documenting his party lifestyle in emails that he sent around to friends. This got so much interest that he decided to turn to books with Titles like “I hope they serve beer in Hell” and “Sloppy Seconds” You get the idea.

He found huge success- we’re talking millions of books and even a movie! He then turned to angel investing in over 80 companies and the creation of Book in a Box, a service that helps virtually anyone with something valuable say into an author. Book in a box has pioneered a fascinating technique that is based on having someone essentially interview the author to be in order to extract their knowledge and wisdom.

Listen in to hear how turned Tucker turned his life around, why he quit angel investing after having invested in over 80 companies and how he came up with the book in a box concept which I think will revolutionize and democratize more than just books.

April 03, 2016Intro to C.L.E.A.R Framework and Meditation
Hello folks,

I have been speaking with many people about the CLEAR framework I put together for myself and now sharing with tech entrepreneurs.
The "C" in the CLEAR framework stands for Clarity and the elements of clarity for me are:
daily meditation
self awareness
critical habits
flow
intuition
In this episode, I focus on the foundation of clarity which for me is meditation. A daily meditation has be transformational for me and many others from Russell Simmons to Oprah Winfrey and many well known billionaires.
You can get started with just an app like Headspace or Calm and five minutes.
Have a listen, download one or both of the apps or just search for mediations on youtube - you'll find lots of great material for free. GET STARTED.
Don't forget to come back for an upcoming episode with ex-monk Dandapani Vedic Odyssey who will be on in a few weeks.
Namaste

April 01, 2016 Andy Nulman Episode 6 - A true original
Andy Nulman … where do I even start? On a personal note, I will be forever grateful to Andy for believing in me and being the second FaveQuest customer while he was at Just for Laughs comedy festival.

I’ve been fortunate to have met some amazing people in my life but no one comes close to Andy when it comes to originality and a winning attitude. He stops at nothing, including pulling crazy stunts at conferences. The stories he shares in this episode will blow you mind and make you laugh at the same time.

Andy sees the future way before anyone else does and gets energized if you tell him he’s crazy because that tells him he’s onto something. Wait until you hear his stories - crazy stuff that will inspire and stretch your thinking guaranteed!

March 28, 2016 Carissa Reiniger Episode 5 - Small business SLAP
Carissa is the founder and CEO of New York based Silver Lining - a software company dedicated to helping small businesses.
She has interviewed hundreds of small businesses to get a true sense of their needs and challenges and put together the small business SLAP program.
Carissa had some ups and downs in the early days of her business and now has some great momentum. I don't think I have ever met anyone so dedicated to small businesses.
Many small businesses are struggling because they don't get help and don't have a clear and simple framework to work from. Carissa's company has built such a framework and is helping thousands of businesses as a result.
I really enjoyed my chat with Carissa. We discussed the personal challenges we've both been through and the realization that you really have to work on yourself first before you can really work on your business.
We also review the really clear and concise SLAP framework Carissa has built into the advice and software designed specifically for small businesses.
I have no doubt you’ll learn something you can apply to your business right away.

March 22, 2016 Tomek Sysak - Episode 4 - 3D Printing and Neuro Sensors
One of things I love about meeting new people is the unexpected turns the discussions sometimes take. I had reached out to Tomek because of his involvement in the world of 3D printing but it took a bit of time to get there because he so many other interesting things to talk about from Farm Radio in Africa to Neuro devices. I love squiggly careers. We do get to the 3D printing stuff so hang tight.
Check out Tomek's company, a 3D printing comparison shopping engine, and connect with him on Twitter.

March 21, 2016 Jeffrey Hayzlett - Episode 3 - Think Big, Act Bigger
Back in 2010, I had become quite active on twitter and Jeff Pulver invited me to NYC as a character to take part in the 140conf “state of now” conference. Jeffrey Hayzlett, who was still at Kodak at the time, was one of the speakers and he blew the crowd away with a great presentation about twitter.

We connected and stayed in touch ever since. Jeffrey was involved with The Apprentice as part of Kodak campaign, had a show on Bloomberg and eventually launched the C-suite network, a media company and social network aimed at the C suite.

Jeffrey has been involved in over 200 companies, was recently inducted into the Speakers Hall of Fame and is the best selling author of three books: Running the Gauntlet, The Mirror Test and more recently Think Big, Act Bigger.

Jeffrey is physically imposing and outspoken and yet he’s always given me the time of day when I had business questions or was on the edge of a big decision. I zipped down to NYC last year when I was trying to decide on my next move. When I told him I would call it “Maximum Impact” he said “Thats a Great Name” and so it was.

He’s truly one of the most amazing individuals I know and I’ll be grateful for his advice as long as I live. I feel privileged to have him on my podcast today.

I highly recommend his books, podcast and other content: http://hayzlett.com/

March 20, 2016 Jay Samit - Episode 2
I read a book every week and Jay Samit’s Disrupt You is truly one of the best. I’m so happy and privileged to have Jay Samit on the phone today. Jay is a true innovator and has a knack for seeing the future before most others.

Everyone from the Pope to the President calls on Samit to orchestrate positive change in this era of endless innovation. Samit helped grow pre-IPO companies such as Linkedin, held senior management roles at EMI, Sony and Universal Studios, pioneered breakthrough advancements in mobile video, internet advertising, ecommerce, social networks, ebooks, and digital music that are used by billions of consumers every day.

Samit accurately predicts the future because he is constantly working with those who create it.

We have a great chat about his days at EMI and Sony trying to help giants go digital and much more.

I highly recommend his book, Disrupt You.
