- #102 Holistic Success and Creating a Life that Matters with @Ron_MalhotraHey there, welcome to this week's action-packed episode of the OpenWorld podcast. Thanks for joining us! In this interview I had the pleasure of welcoming Ron Malhotra to the show.Ron spent most of his adult life trying to figure out who he was. As a young man, he thought that he needed to chase status, wealth, and own an expensive jet in order to matter. He was so full of doubt and uncertainty, and had no mentors to guide him - yet plenty of lingering questions.So he embarked on a lifelong quest to seek the "truth" of what success really meant - and stumbling upon a holistic approach that helps people find success on their own terms.Today Ron is a speaker, coach, wealth planner, leadership trainer, and a best-selling author. He’s been featured by the Huffington Post, the International Business Times, the Daily Herald, CNN’s iReport, and been endorsed by Jack Canfield.He is also the Founder of 'The Successful Male', a movement that seeks to help men develop holistically so that they can become more high-charactered, purposeful, confident and successful in all areas.Even if you’re not a man, I think you can still benefit from the leadership and wealth building concepts that he teaches. I’m excited to have him here, and we had a great discussion, hope you enjoy!1 hr 13 min

- #100 What I’ve Learned from 30 Years of Location Independent Freedom with @PeteSiscoHey there, welcome to this week's action-packed episode of the OpenWorld podcast. Thanks for joining us!In this interview I had the pleasure of welcoming Pete Sisco to the show.Pete has been an expat for 30 years and a Permanent Traveler for 10 years. He’s also made his living 100% from online income for 15 years and earned several million doing so. And he's passionate about helping others achieve their own dream of personal freedom.He made over $2 million when he wrote his first e-book way back in 2001 (for reference, I was a freshman in high school).During our chat, I picked Pete's brain to share his vast experience and what he's learned as a result of his journey. Most importantly - Pete shares his model of the "nanoeconomy" - a concept that enables you to create and sustain your own personal economic freedom autonomous from the fluctuations and trends of the world macroeconomy.He loves to talk about personal freedom, travel and expat life, and earning an online income. I’m excited to chat with him, and if you want to hear his take and advice on how to live on your terms, then you’re going to love this interview.0 min

- #98 Become the Hero of Your Life’s Narrative with Michael Margolis (@GetStoried)Hey there, welcome to this week's action-packed episode of the OpenWorld podcast. Thanks for joining us! In this interview I had the pleasure of welcoming Michael Margolis to the show.As the CEO and founder of Get Storied, Michael has spent the last 15 years on a path of transformational storytelling, pioneering new practices for corporate innovation, social change, and career reinvention. He’s served as a story advisor to leading institutions like Google, NASA, and Greenpeace.He has unlocked core narratives for 30+ different industries. Developed online courses, virtual summits, conferences, and live workshops that serve tens of thousands.On the outside he was a success. But on the inside, he was a mess. So he knew it was time for a sabbatical to really discover the core of himself, that he had long forgotten during his career.He sold off 90% of my possessions, emptied a big house in Marin County, California. Since then he’s begun living, working, and teaching around the world. Vancouver, Amsterdam, Mumbai, San Francisco, Melbourne, New York City, are just a few of the places he nows consider home.Michael believes that story is the biggest and most overlooked factor in the success of our lives. So I invited him onto the podcast to share more and also teach us how to create a powerful life story and narrative."Life is performance art. We're all on stage. I'd much rather bet the house on you becoming more of who truly are, and letting that presence be your performance, than you trying to perform being somebody you're not. Just be you."-Michael MargolisWe discuss some heavy and meaty subjects, such as:Michael's own breakdown. Burning the candle at both ends and hitting the wall, he got so sick he could barely walk.The "Dark Passenger:" What’s my place? And where do I belong?Making friends with "the dragon," and why it's the vehicle for growth.How to avoid becoming the victim of your story, and become the master of your destiny.Resistance and creative tension.Michael's six-step methodology for creating a powerful narrative that he used with Google and Greenpeace.Plus a lot more!This was a very informative and entertaining interview, and one not to be missed! Michael shared a number of deep and profound insights, that I plan to listen to over and over.

- #97 How to Live Limitlessly with Lifestyle Entrepreneur Natalie Sisson, @SuitcasepreneurToday I have a real special episode. I’m joined by Natalie Sisson, a lifestyle entrepreneur, nomad, podcaster, blogger, and #1 best selling author of "Suitcase Entrepreneur," a genre-defining book and blog of the same name.She got her first taste of international travel in 2006, and fell in love with the minimalist traveling life, and living out of a suitcase.In 2010, she quit her corporate career and officially became “The Suitcase Entrepreneur,” and since then she has been inspiring and educating thousands of entrepreneurs how to create a business around a fun idea and really upfront about she sharing everything.She was couchsurfing, and got to the point where after six months she had only $18 left in her pocket. She managed to get one client, and then another, and scrape together a modest $30,000 the first year.Now she’s making several times that. She’s traveled to more than 70 countries, which is more than double what I have. She recently just bought a home in Lisbon, where she’s calling from today.She’s someone who’s truly been around the block and around the world, and walking the walk. I’m super enthused to have her here. During the interview, I asked Natalie to share the formula for success that she's created over the last decade of "choosing freedom."We discuss intention, visualization, and the steps she teaches people to "paint the perfect picture" for their life. I asked Natalie about how she structures her time for productivity, whom she looks up and learns from, and so much more.We also discuss what Natalie's picture looks like, and how she's repainting that picture with an eye to the future.51 min
- #96 How I Made it as a Full-Time Nomadic Photographer with @Jellis_V
Hello and thank you for listening to another fun episode of the OpenWorld podcast. Today I’m joined by an interesting young man. He’s a fan of the podcast who reached out about a month ago. He felt like his life was completely uninteresting and felt uninspired. He had no interesting stories to tell, and he felt depressed by the conventional life path, so he made the decision to commit to a life of full-time traveling and working around the globe. […]

- #94 Earning Serious Bank with Kindle and Helping Others do the Same, with @DaveChessonWelcome to another illustrious episode of the OpenWorld podcast! I'm super excited to have you join us. If you're an author or interested in how to earn a serious living through self-publishing, then you are going to be absolutely blown away by this episode.So many people say you can’t make money self-publishing books. That it's just a business card, or a business building tool, and not a potential cash cow in itself. And there's far too many "gurus" out there who just make money showing wannabe authors how to publish books.Dave Chesson is completely debunking these stereotypes.What I love about Dave is that through his blog, Kindlepreneur, he gives away some of the best resources and cutting-edge techniques to earn a serious living as an author, for free, that I've yet seen.In fact, this has contributed largely to the success of Kindlepreneur.com, which in just one year he grew from 0 to 45,000 monthly visits (and I ask him how he did that as well!).Oh, and he's also earning a cool $8,000+ per month from the five books he's published, so he walks his walk.In this interview, I press him to reveal how he's done it, and he didn't shy away from sharing a ton of valuable nuggets.• Lessons learned from being active-duty Navy and how that contributed to his business success.• How to develop powerful habits and discipline so that success becomes inevitable.• The secrets of Kindle SEO, probably the best long-term strategy to create a perpetual salestream of books!• How he doubled sales of books for his friend Alex Barker simply by rewording the pages and optimizing them.• How to assess competition and dominate a niche on Kindle.• How to optimize your book listing keywords, to help your books gain more traffic.• How to increase conversion rates, so that Amazon displays your books to more people.• KDP Rocket, Dave's new tool, which makes book idea research easy.• Plus more!Hope you enjoy this action-packed podcast as much as I did recording it. Dave joined us from Sri Lanka, whereas as I recorded from a hotel in Thailand.Wherever you are in the world we're completely dedicated to helping you succeed!

- #93 How I Got Myself into a Pickle and Created a Lifestyle Business with @RussPerryTo say goodbye to your first business after 10 years of blood, sweat and tears is gut-wrenching. Today’s guest Russ Perry was heartbroken and jobless after his agency fell apart. Worst of all he had slipped deep into a scarcity mindset.He could have easily continued into a downward spiral, as so many might in this situation, but he bounced back. He turned to consulting to get by, hired a business coach, and leveraged the skills he already had to create a multiple six figure business in just 106 days.Design Pickle provides unlimited graphic design services for a monthly rate and in just two years has expanded its customer base to 360 clients.I was really excited to pick his brain and hear his story, and what he’s learned. You’ll love this interview if you want to create a similar type of business that works for you, or if you want to learn the ins and outs of a productized service company.Russ shares everything from creating successful marketing that works, scaling up a service business, managing effective response times for hundreds of client accounts, lead generation, and standing out in a crowded market.Note: There were a few audio issues with Skype during this call but these are minor and I have done my best to fix them. Otherwise, enjoy this excellent discussion with Russ!1 hr
