THRIVEONLIFE Podcast: Helping people live better lives with tips on health, wealth, and happiness.

Henry Ford said, “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” Oftentimes people don’t know what they need, we have to show them.

*****

This means that you’re creating something new. And when you’re doing something that’s never been done, you’re going to be called crazy. You’re going to fail. You’re going to have to take calculated risks.

*****

That’s what we’re here to talk about at Thrive HQ with seasoned smart risk-takers Nurse Jon Mendoza and Baldo Garza, Founders of MSW Vitamin Lounge, a vitamin bar (think delicious multivitamin drinks rather than alcoholic drinks), as well as vitamin products and health consultations. They are #keepingaustinvitamized and creating a healthcare space that feels more like home rather than a doctor’s office.

*****

On this educational episode of Thrive On Life, we investigate:

-What it means to be a trendsetter in your industry

-The difference between PRICE and COST and how this understanding impacts your long-term business growth and personal health

-The backstory of MSW Lounge and what they’ve learned about starting small and thinking big

-What to look out for when hiring a consultant

At Thrive, we are not about labeling ourselves by a certain job title, and our next guests exemplify perfectly why that is. They refuse to be limited by other people’s rules and expectations.

*****

They are Joseph Kerns and Mike Alvarez, the masterminds behind MAJiK Marketing. 

*****

How do you know if you’re on the right path?

How do you pivot to a totally new career path when your identity is so tied into your current path?

How do you make incremental progress towards your dreams when you’re stuck in perfectionism and fear of failure?

How do you blend the disciplines of science and behavioral psychology into your marketing strategy in order to truly build connections with your audience and drive results?

*****

These are just a few of the questions answered in this value-packed episode of Thrive On Life.

*****

Joe and Mike help CEOs, coaches, and consultants to craft strategy-first email marketing campaigns that build relationships and generate income. Not only do they write compelling copy for you, but they also teach you how to do it by providing you with a framework and a system that you can learn and execute.

*****

But they didn't just show up to the world knowing how to do this. It was a long and bumpy ride to getting to where they are today, and they share all the failures, limiting beliefs, lessons learned and mindset shifts in this episode.

Vasavi Kumar found herself divorced, financially dependent on her parents, and checking herself back into rehab (round two) for her cocaine and alcohol addiction at the age of 37.

*****

She’d gone from being on TV interviews, very well known and respected in her industry, to being a nobody. She had been a “good little Indian girl" her whole life, getting the Ivy League education, getting married to a nice Indian man, growing a successful business - she was checking all the boxes.

*****

But she was broken inside. Everything she did was to be SEEN by others, to try and make herself feel worthy, but she was totally disconnected from herself. 

*****

Now, she is 1.5 years sober, happily single, loves herself, widely successful in her business, totally sure of herself, and not afraid to say no. 

*****

This interview is full of fiery energy as Vasavi passionately speaks from the heart her journey from zero respect for herself to standing fully in her power now, and her strong-held belief that when we know ourselves; we can be, do, and have anything.

*****

If her story resonates with you and you are looking for a business coach who can help with the marketing and strategy but also the mindset blocks and self-confidence, don’t hesitate to reach out to Vasavi on Instagram @highervasavi and head to her website for her free guide filled with powerful habits to help you live in power: vasavikumar.com/freeguide

This episode is special not only because we’ve hit a milestone at episode number 50, but we are also in the middle of a major moment in history. CJ brings on Faiez Rana, one of his best friends in Austin, who was the very first guest on the first-ever episode of the Thrive On Life Podcast, back for the 50th episode to discuss their thoughts and feelings around the current modern-day civil rights movement.

*****

This episode is not about business, we’ll just get that out of the way. Right now, there are way more important things to discuss, aka HUMAN LIVES and equality.

*****

We don't have all the answers here. But Faiez fills us in on what he learned by re-reading Martin Luther King's autobiography and what parallels we can draw from the events happening now, to the civil rights movement in the ‘60s, and how we can act more strategically.

*****

If you’d like to continue staying involved in conversations like these and discussing what we can do to help, we will be having a Zoom call within the online membership community on Tuesday, June 17th at 7 pm CST. Just shoot us a DM on Instagram and let us know you want in, and tell your friends!

Aaron Walker was just 18 years old when he started his first business in 1978, which he scaled and eventually sold off to a Fortune 500 company. He could have retired at the age of 27, but instead, he launched and scaled 14 more successful businesses and worked harder than anyone else.

*****

But something tragic happened in his 40's that changed his life forever and made him realize that if he kept going the way he was going, the only legacy he'd leave behind was that he was a poor boy from Nashville who made a lot of money. He decided that's not what he wanted to be known for, because really, no one cares about how much money you made, they care about the IMPACT you had on their life.

*****

He wanted to use his God-given gifts for teaching, mentoring, and coaching, plus his years of experience in growing successful businesses, to help others who wanted to follow in his footsteps. 

*****

Aaron Walker is the Founder of Iron Sharpens Iron, a network of masterminds designed to help men (and now women!) achieve excellence in business and in life, and creator of The Mastermind Playbook. He's been a guest on top ranking podcasts such as Entrepreneurs On Fire with John Lee Dumas (FIVE times) and Smart Passive Income with Pat Flynn.

*****

You're gonna want to take out your notebook and pen for this episode. Hundreds of people have paid thousands of dollars for Aaron's coaching and decades of experience, and you are getting an hour PACKED with his best teachings in this episode, for free!
