We have a very special guest this episode, big wave surfer Laird Hamilton. Laird is a legend in his community, and on this episode we get into many topics during our discussion ranging from parenting, masculinity in society today, fitness, and of course the mentality that goes into taking on such a daring career. He also gives his take on what "freedom is the new rich" means to him.

Laird has a new book that comes out this Tuesday, March 12th, titled "Liferider: Heart, Body, Soul, and Life Beyond the Ocean." Be sure to pick it up to dig deeper into Laird's philosophy. Laird can be found at LairdHamilton.com as well as on Twitter @LairdLife and Instagram @LairdHamiltonSurf.

Josh Anderson is a realtor and owns The Anderson Group based out of Nashville, TN. In the last calendar year he cleared $86 million in real estate volume. His story started long before that however as you could imagine. Josh served in the Army National Guard, and his service included a 10-month stint in Bagram, Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. On this episode you'll hear about the entrepreneurial spirit that lived inside Josh and led him to sacrifice and make the transition to the freedom of becoming his own boss. If you have an interest in the real estate market, this episode is a must listen.

Josh Anderson's website is JoshAndersonRealty.com and you can find The Anderson Group on Instagram @TAGRealEstate.

Ep. 56 - From the Army to Real Estate entrepreneur

Brandon is back from NBA All-Star Weekend with his son (hence the title of this episode of course) and it sounds like it was quite an enjoyable experience. Beyond getting to meet superstars like Steph Curry (who was a class act,) Brandon also attended NBA's Newsmaker Breakfast attended by the likes of former Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and former Director of the CIA John Brennan.

We get into much more including Brandon's thought process brainstorming for his next book. From there we get into the future of where book sales at large are headed. We wrap up with your comments, and feel free to send any questions for the podcast to powerofthoughtpodcast@gmail.com or @PowerOfPodcast on Instagram & Twitter. We love hearing from the listeners.

Ep. 55 - Recapping NBA All-Star Weekend

That's right...the title may be provocative, but we've got some killer content to match that this week. Alex Waters joins us this show, one of the first ever programmers behind Bitcoin, and now head of research at Elm Labs ( http://elm.nyc .) Waters went to Rochester Institute of Technology, and shortly after that got introduced to the world of Bitcoin during it's inception. In fact, Waters was at the first ever Bitcoin conference back in 2011, and with his background in quality assurance it landed him a job long before the surge of interest took place for this technology. We get into a lot of topics with Alex including his personal background, and of course the future dangers of artificial intelligence. You can follow Alex on Twitter @WatersNYC.

Also on Episode 54, Brandon Webb reacts to Amazon.com pulling out of a deal for a major warehouse in the New York metro area. He calls it a terrible move on the part of local politicians to push out a future abundance of well paying jobs. Hope that you enjoy the show, and if you do, be sure to leave a review on Apple Podcasts and follow us @PowerOfPodcast. If you have any questions for the show, we'd love to hear them.
