The Mike Dillard Show

Today's intro is going to be short and sweet…

This week we're joined my good friend and local Facebook advertising expert, Curt Maly.

Facebook's ad platform has seen some dramatic changes over the past two years, and what used to work in the past, isn't working as well today.

So Curt is here to bring you up to speed on what's different, and what's working the best today if you want to start advertising there, as well as Instagram.

Mastering paid ads is the fastest way to scaling your business to 7 or 8 figures, so make sure this is at the top of your priority list.

One of the biggest lessons I've learned over the past year, is that the size of your struggles, is proportional to the size of the gift you have to offer the world as you overcome them.

In other words, our biggest challenges in life can be turned into an opportunity to grow, and then to give, if we're brave enough to face them head-on and conquer them.

Well, the gentleman you're about to meet today is one of the most incredible living examples of this philosophy that I've ever met.

His name is Akshay Nanavati and his story is so amazing that I'm not even going to give you a preview of what's to come in today's episode because I don't want to ruin it for you.

But the fact that the Dali Lama wrote the forward to his book, should tell you all you need to know about this man's challenges in life, and what he's turned them into.

We all have challenges and we all have fears in life. Those are not optional when it comes to being human, but how you choose to respond to them, is.

Well gang, I have some pretty big news for you…

About two months ago, we finally figured out what caused my brain injury last June, and it was something completely unexpected.

Now we're going to save that entire story for its own dedicated episode where my doctor will be joining me as a guest to break down everything that happened, and how I'm recovering from it, but in the meantime, I get to share one of the most valuable healers that I've had a chance to work with over the past year.

When the injury first occurred, I had no idea what had happened, or what caused it. I thought it must have been stress-related, and that 15 years of business stress, caffeine, and adrenaline just burned out my nervous system.

So I pursued any and every kind of therapy that I could that addressed that part of the body and mind, and one of those therapies was hypnosis.

A few friends of mine recommended that I reach out to our guest today. His name is Elliot Roe, and he is one of the most well-respected hypnotherapists in the world.

His clients include Olympic athletes, UFC fighters, professional poker players, some of the most successful entrepreneurs you can think of, behind billion-dollar companies.

Now I had never been hypnotized in my life, and frankly, I thought it was kind of hokey, but I was desperate and willing to try absolutely anything that might help.

So I signed on with Elliot as a client and holy smokes…

This stuff absolutely works.

At the end of the day, our outside world and the life that we've built for ourselves is a reflection of the subconscious programming we've internalized.

All of us have baggage from our lives that create subconscious thoughts and stories, that affect our decisions from that point forward. And the really crappy part is that you're not even aware that these stories exist. They are invisible to your conscious mind, which makes them incredibly hard to identify and then change.

Well, hypnosis is the solution to that problem. It's one of the few ways that we can tap into our subconscious programming, identify thoughts and stories that are holding us back, and then rewrite them.

Going through this process has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life, and I'm truly excited that I get to introduce you guys to Elliot, and to this technology today.

If you're ready to give your brain and your inner programming a major upgrade, this is an incredibly effective way to do it.

Scaling your company… It's a topic that we've discussed a few times here on this show because it's one of the biggest challenges any entrepreneur will face.

Well one of the most valuable resources you can have during this phase of the development of your business, is a rockstar board of advisors who have already been there and done that.

Every great founder surrounds themselves with other great leaders who can bring their lifetime of experience, knowledge, and relationships to the table to help you make better decisions, avoid pitfalls, and ultimately provide you with an unfair advantage that you competition does not have.

But attracting and acquiring a team of high-level advisors, especially if you're just getting started, is easier said than done.

Well, today we're joined by Chris Guerriero who is an incredibly successful entrepreneur, and who also advises a handful of other large companies, some of which does billions per year in revenue.

Basically, he helps companies create the processes and systems they need to scale to the next level, and today he's going to teach you how to build a game-changing board of advisors for your business, just as I have for mine.

Yep, I have a board as well, and you'll find out who's on it, here in today's episode.

So without further ado, please help me welcome Chris Guerriero.

Today I have the incredible privilege of introducing you to a very special person in my life, Ms. Krisstina Wise.

As you'll hear in today's interview, Krisstina was my guardian angel when it came to my brain injury last year, because it turns out that she's the only other person I've ever met who went through the exact same experience.

Meeting her, and knowing that she made it through that ordeal was a life-line of hope that has been priceless during my recovery.

And as I sat down to re-listen to this interview this morning before recording this intro, I have to say that I was shocked to hear my voice and energy level.

We recorded this interview about 3 months ago, and the difference that you'll hear in my voice now, versus my voice in this interview is astounding.

Now health updates aside, today we're going to talk about mastering money as an entrepreneur.

Most entrepreneurs come from a place of pain or poverty, which is what provided the fuel that was needed to radically transform their lives for the better. Krisstina was no exception.

But with new levels of money and wealth, will come new challenges and pitfalls if you do not train and teach yourself how to manage that money wisely.

I've gone through this learning experience, Krisstina has gone through it, along with Ryan Deiss and several other guests we've had on the show.

Well after Krisstina built up a tremendous amount of wealth and then lost it, she decided to master the game of money and identify the changes that we all need to make internally in order to build life-long wealth.

The sooner you master money and what Krisstina teaches, the better of you'll be.

It would be easy to tell yourself that this is a subject you'll go learn about once you're making a lot of money, but that would be a massive mistake.

Learn these strategies and skills now, even if you're broke, and you'll be so much better off once your financial situation does improve.

This is one of those life-changing episodes that we often have here on the podcast, so make sure you pay attention to this one, because you're getting insights to some very expensive lessons that were learned the hard way, before you make the same mistakes yourself.

Unless you're brand new to this podcast, you know that I've been a huge fan of crypto assets for years, having bought my first Bitcoin back in 2013 for $70.

Well, today we're joined by another gentleman who is a big fan of Bitcoin, and who also got his start in the internet marketing world many years ago. His name is Clay Collins.

While you might not recognize that name outright, you've almost certainly heard of the company he started, LeadPages.

Yep, Clay is the founder of LeadPages.net which was really the first drag and drop capture page and website builder for online businesses.

Well several years ago, Clay sold a portion of LeadPages and cashed out a very large sum of money in the process.

So what did he do next?

He got into crypto.

And specifically, he's now the founder of a company called Nomics.

So why does this matter to you?

Well if you're currently invested in crypto-assets, or if you're thinking about investing, there's a very subtle scam that's been around for a few years now that could cost you some serious money.

What is it?

Well, that's what we're going to talk about in this amazing interview with Clay today, and how Nomics is saving people from this scam.

Now if you haven't invested in Bitcoin yet, well… It might be time to reconsider that, and if you need some help learning how it all works, where to buy it, and how to keep it safe once you do, then make sure you head to MikeDillard.com/crypto where I've posted a free training video for you that will share some of my biggest lessons learned when it comes to crypto.

Today we have a chance to sit down and get the inside scoop behind the creation of one of the most successful product brands in the world.

I'm talking about Dr. Josh Axe, and his health and wellness company, Ancient Nutrition.

Josh's story is pretty amazing…

It all started with a simple newsletter that he'd give to his chiropractic patients when they visited his office, which then turned into online articles and blog posts.

The information was so well received, that he eventually started producing E-books, and then finally launched his first health supplements just a few years ago, which have turned into the $100 million Ancient Nutrition Brand.

If that name sounds familiar, it's because you'll find their products currently stocked on the shelves of Whole Foods, GNC, and Targets around the country.

He's also amassed a huge following online with more than 2.8 million Facebook Fans, 1.7 million YouTube subscribers, and half a million followers on Instagram.

So how did he do it?

Well, we're going to dive into that and more today in this incredibly insightful interview with the man himself.

It's no secret that how your morning begins, will usually determine how the rest of your day will unfold.

My previous guests and friends have mastered this process, and seen their lives transform as a result…

Hal Elrod created the Miracle Morning process which dramatically changed his life the moment he started to apply it.

And Aubrey Marcus shares his approach in his book, Own The Day, Own Your Life.

In that book he shares a very simple premise… Which is that if you own and master your morning, you'll own and master your day. And if you can experience the ideal day where you're in flow, you'll create the kind of life you could only dream about previously.

Well today we're joined by another extremely successful gentleman who has created his own process for mastering your morning.

His name is Robin Sharma, and he has a fascinating story.

For most of his adult life, he was a litigation attorney, but it was a career that made him miserable. He dreaded going to work every day, so he finally decided that enough was enough. He quit his job and dedicated his life to learning about personal growth, productivity, spirituality, and fulfillment.

What he learned would eventually find its way into a book that he self-published and printed at Kinkos called, "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari".

15 million copies later, Robin has become one of the most successful and respected authors in the world.

At the heart of his success, is his morning routine which he'll share with you today here in detail.

Whether you subscribe to Hal's approach, or Aubrey's, or Robin's, one thing is certain…

If you want to change your life, the very first step you take every single morning is the single most important part of the process.

If you master your morning, you'll win the day. And if you win the day, you'll win in life.

So without further ado, please help me welcome, Robin Sharma.

So if you've been getting my emails this week, you know that I'm extremely excited that my friend Teeka Tiwari has spent the last year traveling around the world to find out the best way to invest in the cannabis revolution that's taking place in the US right now.

If you've been listening to the show for a while, you know that this is a topic I'm extremely interested in. We've interviewed the founder of Green Man Cannabis, Christian Hagaseth, and Dr. Mike Hart, who's been on Joe Rogan's show, and who is one of the biggest advocates in the world for the medicinal benefits that cannabis can provide.

Right now, outside of crypto, cannabis is the single best investment opportunity of our lives, but figuring out the best way to invest in the industry, isn't very clear at all.

Should you invest in the farms that are growing the plants?

Should you invest in the processing and manufacturing facilities?

Should you invest in the consumer brands like Dan Bilzarian's Ignite?

Should you invest in a Cannabis stock fund, or ETF?

The options are endless, and just like crypto, you can make life-changing money, but there is also a significant amount of risk involved.

The good news, is that you can dramatically reduce that level of risk when you arm yourself with research and information, which is exactly what Teeka has done.

He's found the greatest point of leverage in this new industry, and in my humble opinion, you'd be foolish not to invest a small amount of money in this industry right now.

So I asked him to jump on the phone today for this quick interview to help us navigate the industry, and to share what he's learned.

Now tonight, June 26th, he will be holding a live webinar sharing what they've discovered in detail, and while I can't say exactly what it is publicly before he does, I can tell you this…

You're going to have the opportunity to participate in some private-placement opportunities alongside myself and the rest of his team, in the Cannabis industry. The time he invested in one of these, he turned $1,000, into $1.6 million.

So if this is an area of interest for you, as it is for me, make sure you head to PalmBeachGoesGreen.com to register for tonight's webinar.

I do know that these opportunities are definitely limited in nature, so you're going to want to be at the front of the line for what they're going to share.

Again, you can register to attend tonight's live webinar at www.PalmBeachGoesGreen.com. If you need to pause the recording and pull up your browser, do that right now, and then we'll dive into this extremely interesting interview with Teeka.

During my lifetime, it's been incredibly rare to witness the birth of an entirely new industry, but in the past few years, it seems like that's now taking place all the time…

Companies with billion dollar valuations are popping up everywhere…

We've seen it in crypto, we've seen it in VR, we've seen it in Cannabis, and now we're seeing it in transportation.

And there's one part of the transportation story that I find fascinating, which is the rise of the Scooter War that started two years ago.

Who knew that a childhood toy would become a multi-billion dollar industry within months, and transform the urban commute.

Well today we're going to get the inside scoop on the battle for billions between Uber, Lyft, Bird, Lime, and the company that kicked off the revolution… Spin.

Euwyn Poon founded Spin in 2016, and it was recently acquired by Ford Motor Company in 2018.

If you're in a city where these scooters preside, it's a fascinating love, hate relationship. On one hand, they can be incredibly convenient if you find yourself in a bustling city center filled with traffic. And on the other hand, they can be an unsightly nuisance as people take to the streets and sidewalks at 20 mph on a device they can barely control.

But one thing is for sure… It's an urban transportation revolution with billions of dollars at stake, and today Euwyn will take us behind the scenes and onto the front-lines of the scooter wars in a level of detail you've never heard before.
