Each one of us has challenges that we face throughout our lives, and it's easy to get swept up in the negativity and head trash. On today's episode, Matt is joined again by attorney Rich Chen to share his experience growing up blind and how he overcame his own challenges by focusing on positivity, surrounding himself with positive influences, and tuning out negativity. Rich will also share how there is too much fear of failure and, instead, it's important to dream big by focusing on one step at a time.

It's easy to say and assume that you're at capacity, because what else are you doing with all your time? But if you're claiming that you're researching and just too busy, then we're here to tell you that you've been drinking your own Kool-Aid. On today's episode, Matt and Micah discuss how by looking at your REAL numbers or having someone else call you out on what you claim your real numbers are, you will have the opportunity to truly discover how much office you're really playing…and how to improve and be intentional with your time.

Listen in as they share why empowering your team with systems and rules and understanding that making everything in your office a manual process does not provide personal advice to your clients. They'll also explain the importance of following your own advice.

We all have the same 24 hours in a day, but what sets up the good from the great is how that time is used. This is where surge meetings come into play and give you a way to be hyper-intentional while delivering massive value to your clients. On today's episode, Matt and Micah push back on some of the reasons why other advisors claim they can't implement surge meetings and why a lot of that is just head trash.

Listen in as they talk about how there's always room for improvement in surge meetings and processes along with the benefits of surge for you as well as for your clients, and that surge isn't a competition; it's about doing what works.
