Underdog Empowerment

What comes to your mind when you hear the words, "network marketing"? If you scoff and think about pyramid schemes, it's time to re-evaluate the examples you've been given. Just like in any other industry, the ones who succeed are the least glamorous - but they've put in the work. Alex Morton grew up wanting the lifestyles he saw the elite around him living - and he simply went out and got it, through books and an open attitude and plain, driven hard work. Nearly a decade and $30 million later, Alex continues to educate his audiences with wisdom for growth that comes from having done it all himself. On this episode of the Underdog Empowerment podcast, Zach and Alex dive deep on the misconceptions that fuel the stigma against network marketing, the importance of building a personal brand, and why the right mindset is the key to your success. Join the conversation to shift your mindset beyond what seems possible. Show Notes: https://underdogempowerment.com/alex-morton/ Get More Involved:

Of all the sexy marketing tactics and "life hacks" out there that promise to work like a charm, how many can back up the claim? In fact, just like anything else you build up brick by brick, the exceptional business and the life you're looking for start with some self-awareness, a discerning eye for the people around you, and intentional, consistent lifestyle tweaks that work. Nic Peterson is a perfect example. Having spent years of his life homeless, but with a relentless hunger for learning, Nic found a way to combine his skills in fitness with the things he was being taught by those around him, and went on to build and grow multiple (incredibly successful) businesses based on a desire to connect with and learn from the best around. These days, Nic helps entrepreneurs and business owners grow, scale, and connect with others while staying aligned with who they are. On this episode of the Underdog Empowerment podcast, Zach and Nic get into the value of working with clients who practice what they preach, the simple secret behind creating massive change in your life (and helping those you serve do it too), and why you shouldn't be worried when someone rips off your work. Listen in to set the game up your own way. Show Notes: https://underdogempowerment.com/nic-peterson/ Get More Involved:

A strong personal presence is the lifeblood of the entrepreneur's work. How you show up determines who you attract, what others say about you when you're not around, and how able you'll be to move smoothly from one business venture to the next. So, how much attention are you paying to your personal branding? Chris Ducker has been scratching the entrepreneurial itch since his teen years. A self-proclaimed "sales and marketing guy" with years of experience under his belt, Chris now lends his talents and his insight to his career as a speaker, author, coach, and founder of Youpreneur, which exists to help entrepreneurs zero in on the best personal branding for them. On this episode of the Underdog Empowerment podcast, Zach and Chris dive deep on the staying power of well-developed personal branding, the 3 Lists to Freedom exercise (as well as the resulting impact) and strategies for staying present and keeping family at the top of the priority list. Keep listening to hone in on the value you bring to the table. Show Notes: https://underdogempowerment.com/chris-ducker/ Get More Involved:

Who's the most impressive person you can think of? It might be an athlete, a millionaire entrepreneur, or some other industry giant with a crazy achievement under their belt. Huge wins like that can seem really far off from where you stand. But did you ever stop to think about how they got there? Nate Bailey has always looked up to the storytellers - leaders who share their wisdom and teach others what it takes to succeed. Now, after a lifetime of overcoming obstacles - including a hard recovery from military deployment, 2 failed attempts at a 100-mile run and getting a podcast off the ground, Nate continues to coach and inspire men and women to make a real impact with discipline and a relentless mindset. On this episode of the Underdog Empowerment podcast, Nate and Zach break down the realities of struggling before you hit your momentum, being a person of your word and keeping your commitments (even to yourself), and the un-sexy truth behind being a legend.

Evan Carmichael has conquered everything from venture capitalism to salsa dancing, and he knows that the key to it all is to #Believe.

If you're starting from 0, building an online course sounds complicated, but forget the fancy metrics and the so-called experts. The best programs are put together by people who have done the work, gotten their hands dirty, and figured it out for themselves. This episode of the Underdog Empowerment podcast busts open the process of building a successful online course, as Zach lays out his proven ground-up approach, explains why the "gurus" of the internet marketing world are doing it wrong, and touches on the importance of feeling ripped off - by yourself - at the start.

We typically think about the life of a rockstar as the perfect gig - but a lot more goes into that lifestyle than just making music, and those who make it to the top know a thing or two about building a brand from the ground up. Kevin Martin grew up knowing that he wanted to play music for the rest of his life, and he became one of the founding members of the band Candlebox in 1990. The road from there wasn't easy, but through plain hard work and plenty of struggle, Candlebox went on to produce world-changing music, including one record that sold over 400 million copies. Kevin and the band are still active, and his momentum has continued as Candlebox prepares for another tour in the spring of 2020. On this episode of the Underdog Empowerment podcast, Zach and Kevin lay down wisdom on the similarities between running a band and running a business, the responsibility we all have to recognize dishonesty and pursue truth, and doing the legwork necessary to succeed in the long term.
