Imagine having the life that every strives to have - you’re doing well financially, you just moved into a beautiful house in a peaceful town France with your wife and son - and then one day a tree hits you, you’re paralyzed from the neck down and the doctors tell you you’re never going to walk again? On TOP of that, multiple surgeries follow, your wife leaves you and takes away your son and you’re in horrific agony for years… Today’s guest has experienced exactly that and didn’t just survive, bu...

Do you set a bunch of ambitious goals at the beginning of the year but find yourself losing motivation and slacking off after a few weeks? Same here. That’s why I’ve refined my goal-setting process to something that’s so simple yet so impactful that has allowed me to achieve what seemed like audaciously huge goals at the time - scaling my business from 0-7 figures in 12 months or exiting a business that was described as unsellable. Sounds cool? Listen in!

Feeling stuck, things aren’t improving? Whether it’s your skills, the level of your current success, your relationship, your finances or your health... Often times, we hit a plateau and just can’t seem to improve doing the same things we’ve done before. Then it’s usually time to approach things from a different paradigm. But in order to do that, we have to be willing to get worse first, in order to improve. Without the willingness to do so, we’ll keep stagnating. Leave some feedback!

In this episode I talk about quitting the constant consumption of podcasts, blogs, YouTube videos and other social feeds, including books! Why? Because you already know the most crucial things. It’s enough. Focus that time and mental bandwidth on the things that matter most right now.

Mike Michalowicz, the author of Profit First, The Pumpkin Plan, The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur & Fix This next, had founded and sold two multimillion-dollar companies. Knowing that now, he could do anything, he became an angel investor (the type who buys a Range Rover, BMW & Dodge Viper on the same day!). Only to realize that after 2 years he had lost all of his money and maybe… he didn’t know THAT much about business after all. After another 2 years of depression, self-hatred and doubt h...

What happens when two guys who have built a 7-figure business in their early twenties sit together and brainstorm how to overcome their current challenges? Today’s guest is once again, Louis Kanteh, who is one of my favorite people to talk to when it comes to business, personal development and silly shenanigans. He’s one of the members in our weekly mastermind calls (which you can apply to join as well), built a 7-figure business and moved his business and himself to Cyprus when he was 19 years ...

Do you want to build an audience of raving fans for your business, a following for your personal brand to network with more influential people or maybe there’s a side project you want to start? Today’s guest is Max Hertan who has done exactly that. While running his 7-figure agency Megaphone Marketing with a team of a dozen people seems time-consuming enough, he decided to start a YouTube channel about two years ago, doing monthly challenges of learning a new skill and documenting the entire jou...

We live in a more and more artificial world that is not designed to optimize our health & wellbeing. When I started digging into optimizing my sleep because I was constantly tired and not sleeping well, I heard about today’s guest, Matt Maruca, who absolutely blew my mind about so many different things I was doing wrong. A few weeks later, he’s on the show with me here to discuss some very controversial topics, such as: Why the amount of sun you get is more important than the quality of your...

If you’re struggling with staying consistent, executing on your commitments and procrastinating on the important things then this episode will be the solution to all of these problems. We live in a bubble, my friends. A bubble of entrepreneurs that is almost like a dogma, leaving us with many misconceptions about when we should wake up, how we should work and when we should be expecting results. The antidote to this poison is someone like Kilian Markert. Here we discuss: The three simple fundame...

While everybody talks about how to start & grow a business, there’s a whole different industry out there - the business of buying businesses and completely skipping the grind part. Building a business is the best way to get rich, but to get really really rich, buying businesses is a much more predictable game. But don’t you need a lot of money for that? Not necessarily… Today’s guest is my buddy Adam Tucker who is an Australian investor, adviser and strategist for the companies he buys &...

Most people think once they make $X amount of money they won’t have to worry anymore… yet they end up worrying more than before. Whether that is stress around maintaining the lifestyle they’ve built or losing it all.

In this episode, I talk about the two different areas you need to be passionate about to love your work. (A) You need to like the topic it's about (health, video games, soccer, real estate) and (B) enjoy the day-to-day activity according to what you love doing (solving problems, interacting with people, consulting, writing etc.). You might love a topic, but hate the business you're in. OR, you might love doing an activity, but aren't particularly passionate about the topic your business revolves...

Would you like to connect with the most influential people you can think of - celebrities, CEOs, mentors or influencers in your industry that would skyrocket your business? Steve Sims makes the impossible happen: He used to be a bricklayer from London, moved to Hong Kong to be a bouncer and networked his way into exclusive circles he shouldn’t be in (CEOs, bankers & wealthy people).

“Yes, you! You should also be an entrepreneur! Escape the sheep herd and join the wolf pack!” - said the wolf to the sheep to build his own little sheep farm. So many entrepreneurs (read: wantrepreneurs) think they’re people who are making their own opinion, going their own way and are smarter than those that have a 9-5. But in reality, they’ve just subscribed to another dogma, have been brainwashed by a different system and even worse, now think they’re better than those who aren’t doing what t...

Do you rely on pain to motivate you? You’re struggling to enjoy life the way it is now and always try to get someplace else? Today’s guest is my buddy Patrick Wagner. We first met when we both started our eCommerce business in 2016 and joined a mastermind where we had weekly mastermind calls. Both of us ended selling our businesses in 2018 and made a complete shift in what we were doing - and how we decided to live our life. While both of us were initially driven by scarcity, wanting to just mak...

In one of our weekly calls my buddy wondered what happened to his motivation. He used to be super motivated to get his business off the ground and get freedom. But now that he has it (currently he’s preparing to sell this baby for multiple millions), he’s struggling to get excited about anything in his life. He has to push himself to get to work. Same with his workout routine. He used to be super pumped about it, but his priorities have changed and he’s struggling to stay consistent. Is it time ...

Does work feel like a grind to you? You find yourself stressed, sometimes anxious & doubting whether you’re doing enough? You’re having to push yourself to get everything done and at the end of the day you feel like you should’ve done more… That is exactly how I felt almost every day in my first business right until I met Louis. He’s built a successful eCommerce company at 18 years old and is now selling his company just like I did. And we connected immediately because we had the same realiz...

Honestly, how good is your product? How good is your service? This is one of the most foundational and important questions to ask. Business and success can seem like a complex mess where everything has to be perfect - your systems, your team, your funnel & branding, your packaging, pricing strategy etc…. But the foundation it’s all built on is the real, raw value that your customer gets from your service, product or skills. Everything else becomes easier and often even effortless when you ha...

He was always passionate about filmmaking but ended up going a completely different path into marketing because he didn’t want to be another starving artist that couldn’t pay his rent. He ended ...

It’s been well over a year and a half ago now that the deal was agreed upon, the purchase agreement was signed and I had made the amount of cash I would’ve never even dreamed of making a couple of years before that.
