If you've been a long time listener of this show, you've heard the concept of mastermind groups brought up time and time again. It's become apparent to me that this is a tool which has been utilized by highly successful individuals throughout history. In today's episode, I do a deep dive into what a mastermind group really is and how you can organize one.

"When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it." -Henry Ford

Today's episode covers a challenge that we all face on an ongoing basis... becoming the master of your own mindset! I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to connect with our guest, Carrie Green. Carrie is the Founder of the Female Entrepreneur Association and the author of the new book She Means Business. The Female Entrepreneur Association a network of over 400,000 women from around the world. Carrie also did a TEDx Talk back in 2014 that now has nearly 3 million views on YouTube. My favorite thing about Carrie is that, despite the massive success she's accomplished over the last few years, she still keeps it totally real. Whether it's in an interview, her vlog, or her blog, it doesn't matter, she gives it to you straight. This is especially important (and rare) in the world of entrepreneurship, where the reality is often overshadowed by the mystique of the whole thing. Please enjoy the following pearls of wisdom and countless nuggets of inspiration from Carrie Green. Links:

There are times in life when you meet someone who you just feel a connection with right from the get-go. I had one of those experiences when I sat down to interview this week's guest, Bill Fisher. Not only does he have a voice that that is destined for audio greatness, but he's also a phenomenal guy. Bill is the President and Co-Founder of Maximum Velocity, a full-service marketing agency here in Cleveland. I was introduced to Bill by a listener, and now friend, who reached out just looking to add value. That gesture alone was enough to start a friendship with that particular listener but also planted the seed for another great relationship and a top-notch episode with Bill. Bill delivers some unbelievable content and true value in this episode. I will say it gets deep and he is very open and vulnerable with me, which makes for a powerful conversation. He is very open about how his faith has guided him. We discuss the importance of having someone to hold you accountable, how you can set up a life plan, what it means to find your spot, and much more. Enjoy! Links:

It's such a simple question, but it holds a tremendous amount of power if you give it the thought it deserves. We all know how hectic life is. And especially in this wild and wacky area of personal development (or self-optimization), it sometimes feels like there are thousands of things you should be doing. If you honestly tried to implement every productivity hack you heard on a podcast, read in a book, or picked up from an article, you'd need about 40 hours in a day just to get that stuff done. Not to mention time for work, family, and everything else life throws your way. For today's episode, I'm joined by Geoff Woods, Vice President of The ONE Thing, the company behind the book of the same name, and host of The ONE Thing Podcast. Geoff has an amazing story of going from employee to entrepreneur in less than one year from when he made the decision to do so. He has a unique perspective on how to achieve massive results in a very short amount of time. This is a killer episode that I know you guys will love. And something that I would love, is to connect with you. I am making it a priority to connect directly with as many of my listeners as possible this year. I don't want to sell you anything or push anything on you, but rather just want to better understand what challenges you are facing, what you're currently struggling with, and how I can help. If you're interested in forming a relationship with me, you can go to MillennialMM.com/call to set up a 15-minute call. For a FREE digital copy of The ONE Thing book:

Today I explore the mindset of Hollywood great, Will Smith. "The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill. I will not be out-worked, period. You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things you got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there's two things: You're getting off first, or I'm going to die. It's really that simple, right?" - Will Smith "In my mind, I've always been an A-list Hollywood superstar. Y'all just didn't know yet." - Will Smith MillennialMM.com/41 Audio credit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doqS35FfcUE Photo credit: The Hollywood Reporter

Do you ever find yourself walking away from an inspiring conversation with your mind racing with possibilities and ideas? Since starting this show, I've been fortunate to have this experience more and more frequently with some of the amazing guests. But for today's episode, I walked away completely mind-blown with new ideas, a totally new outlook on the potential paths to entrepreneurship, and a new understanding of how you can strategically plan your career to use it as a training ground for the next level of success. I learned this all from my good friend and mentor, Sean Wenger. Sean is the Executive Vice President of Client Services at Fathom, one of the nation's largest independent digital marketing agencies. Sean leads a high-performance team including many ultra-successful millennials. He has a passion for entrepreneurship and has leveraged his strong track record with a Fortune 100 organization to expedite his experience and obtain significant leadership roles at a young age. This conversation expanded my mind so much in terms of what I can be doing now to not only prepare myself for higher levels of success, but to actually leverage my career as a series of stepping stones to get to exactly where I want to be. You are going to love this one! Links: Sean on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-wenger-097a5b5 FathomDelivers.com
