Hustle & Flowchart: Mastering Business & Enjoying the Journey

We've got a Therapy Session episode for you today with some of our biggest insights from the month of June. Be on the lookout for more Therapy Sessions at the end of each month.

On today’s show, we are chatting with Chris Ross who gave us a total masterclass on sales which is pure gold. Chris is a fellow podcaster and runs TCR Consulting Agency and on today’s show, he does a deep dive into the conversations he has with his potential clients. He really gets into the mental game of sales and the mindset you need to have to approach it for success. He also shared with us his daily routine and his goal to improve each and every day by 1% as well as how to handle objections. It’s less about scripting and more about how your brain needs to be when entering into the conversation. Chris also has a podcast, aptly name the Win-Win Effect and on that show, you will learn sales at a level you most likely have never heard before, without all the questionable methods but selling with a giving, connecting, and problem-solving intention. You will definitely have some mind shifts and a-ha moments about selling while listening in, so check this one out. And once you are done, be sure to check out the show we referred to with Chris Voss (not to be confused with our guest) and with Marshall Sylver for even more success traits for being a great salesperson. “If you are really struggling with your sales, and if you want to experience what it feels like to have zero buyer’s remorse, ask them “What, When, Why, How” questions.” - Chris Ross Some Topics We Discussed Include: Chris’ method to make himself 1% better on a daily basis The importance of taking notes (and not on your phone) Some great examples of conversations when dealing with objections as well as getting your potential clients into the right frame of mind The international speaker who changed Chris’s life around Starting your day off right, without being overwhelmed by social media, and most importantly, being tied to your phone Examples of how some well-known people learn from their failures and how you can put this same thing into practice to improve How to set up the conversation right from the start to let them know you are working on their behalf Give us a shout at [email protected] if you have an idea for an awesome name we can attribute to all of our awesome listeners (because HustleAndFlowcharters is way too long) And much, much more!

We talked first, about how to get onto the TEDx stage, which Adam knows all too well.

He is using the same mechanism across the board, and by listening to today’s show, you’ll have the opportunity to get it for free. You’ll also hear us doing this in a role play fashion with a real scenario that we had in our business recently.

We’re still in lockdown, but fear not, we still have our flow! Today we have a legend in our marketing space, Russell Brunson. Not only is he well known for his product on how to make a potato gun, but he is also the founder of ClickFunnels. He wrote Expert Secrets, Dotcom Secrets and today we are going to hone in on his latest book, Traffic Secrets. What we both love about this new book is it details the paradigm shifts that you need to go through to really understand traffic, and not just the ad networks but the business as a whole. Even though we had a briefer conversation than usual with Russell, this show is densely packed and we really got as much as we could in a shorter window. You’ll get to hear how he was able to get on The Profit show with Marcus Lemonis and you’ll also understand why you should be using these different traffic sources and what their uses are vs. the actual tactics, which you can get in his book, Traffic Secrets.

When you’re done, get some more funnel tactics from our talks with Dave Woodward and Nicholas Kusmich. “My goal with this book was to get the whole conversation for all entrepreneurs to think differently about how to get traffic. There are so many ways to get traffic that aren't Facebook. Most are better, and nobody knows about it because they're all just focused on the one simple one that’s easy to do right now.” - Russell Brunson Some Topics We Discussed Include: What you can learn from selling a DVD on potato guns Why you want to be the one spending the most to get the customer The Dream 100 concept, how we were able to use it to get Russell on the show, and how Russell uses it as well.

We’re back and today we are talking with Nigel Eccles, the co-founder, and CEO of FanDuel and now, in the same role with the app Flick. Listen in and you’ll hear us discuss how FanDuel originated, the differences between dealing with the government in the U.S. and Scotland and what the company went through when dealing with the legislature (to their mutual benefit). We also talk about how they were able to build traction and get the word out, especially to a targeted audience that is used to playing fantasy football within a specific time frame. We dive into Nigel’s latest venture, an app branded specifically to your community that allows you to talk directly with your audience and where you own the data. We also talk about the benefits of dealing with venture capital and why you may actually not want to go that route, as well as monetization techniques for your content. When you’re done get more insight about building an amazing business with Robert Farrington and Ryan Levesque. “We said, what if we took that game and we made it faster, and we are going to have the game last a day. Then, we said you don't have to go and find a bunch of friends, you can actually play with anyone. And instead of just playing a ten-person league, paying $10 to win maybe $100, why don't you play in 100,000 person league where you can pay $10 and you can win a million dollars.” - Nigel Eccles Some Topics We Discussed Include: Why working with the government to set rules is actually a good thing The beauty of being able to play fantasy football after the season begins The right and way and the wrong way to approach venture capitalist funding Yet another way podcasters can communicate with their audience and even monetize the show Who you should go to to get your idea validated Going into a new venture without knowing all the ropes Why paid content is still attainable even in this wave of the “make everything free” internet and how to approach that with your audience And much, much more!

We’re back and on today’s show, we are talking to Sara Christensen who has five businesses in different industries over the past 25 years. Her largest business was a wireless communications consultancy that was doing $10 million in revenue per year and employed 75 people when she sold it. Sara also talks about the world of holding masterminds and how she is able to white label that for other brands, an interesting concept and potential way to expand your current business model. This episode is also really eye-opening, as Sara talks about how one little post sent her world in a spiral, leading to an all-out war waged on her business, thousands of hateful messages and even death threats. And while it’s something many of us never consider, this leads to a great discussion of how we are all at risk in this new age of technology, what you need to know to best protect yourself and how to defend your business and personal data to minimize being put at risk. After you’ve listened, be sure to check out our previous shows with Sunny Lenarduzzi and Brad Costanzo where we talk even more about branding, networking and leveraging your audience for long term growth. “Who are we to be judging each other, and can we not have conversations that are nuanced and still be friends even if we don’t agree on things?” - Sara Christensen Some Topics We Discussed Include: A little side hustle Sara started in elementary school!

In fact, the son of a fourth-generation coal miner, Garrett’s blue-collar roots are what makes him so passionate about helping entrepreneurs build economic independence through his business, The Wealth Factory. In today’s show, we dive into Garrett’s simple upbringing and yet how he grew up with an entrepreneurial mind, even at a young age. We discuss the importance of traveling and gaining a sense of connectedness, how Garrett filmed his origin story and was able to break generational wounds of his grandparents only to go through various stages of what he refers to as the four losing personas with money.

Today we are talking with Gennaro Cuofano, who not only has an awesome accent but runs an amazing site called FourWeekMBA.com. Ever since we hung up with our guest, we have completely nerded out on his site, as he does super deep research on every brand in the world. He basically looks at businesses and reverse engineers them by digging into their financial statements, how they get their traffic using various SEO tools, and then writes up these detailed blog posts about their entire business model. He dives into where their revenue comes from, where he sees them headed, and basically everything you could want to know about these businesses. The cool thing is it's very objective as he consumes content like crazy. Gennaro checks out a slew of business models, everything from affiliate marketing, freemium and subscription models, just to name a few. Imagine how many new concepts you’ll be able to come up with, or perhaps your customers have been asking for a specific model, but maybe you don’t know how to build it. We’ve recently been talking about the affiliate model and when we started digging around on Gennaros’ site we realized there is a lot more affiliate business than you realize, some being multi-billion-dollar companies. After you’ve listened be sure to check out our shows with Nate Broughton and David Sinick for even more content, research, and keyword strategies. “If you think about business today, Google, Facebook, and Amazon, those are actually the gatekeepers of distribution.

We are back today with another awesome Therapy Session which we recorded literally right at the airport and before grabbing a flight back from Florida where we attended Rich Schefren’s “Coalition To Save Internet Business” live stream event where it was a who’s who in internet marketing. We got to share the cigar bar stage with such guests as Russell Brunson, Dean Graziosi, Jeff Walker, Dennis Yu, Perry Marshall, and Mike Fillisame among many others. We first attended a great mastermind, then shortly after that, Rich held his 24-hour live stream, where there were literally billions of dollars of net worth under one roof (plus thousands of dollars of alcohol and cigars). Listen in as we discussed some cool tactics we learned as well as insights into what makes some of the internet’s most successful entrepreneurs tick. We also talk about imposter syndrome, the importance of authenticity, and some of the many things that make Agora so prosperous. When you’re done listening, be sure to revisit the show we did with Rich Schefren as well as the show we had with Curt Maly where we talk more in-depth about best practices for moving your business forward as well as some additional Facebook ad strategies. “Most of them are some of the friendliest, giving people and they are willing to share their tactics...that is why they succeed because they are so freely giving and if you ask them a question they are an open book.” - Matt Wolfe “So as we talked to a lot of people around this event, you came to realize that the imposter syndrome is a real thing no matter what level you are at.“ - Joe Fier Some Topics We Discussed Include: The secrets of being rich…..podcast!

We are back and in this episode, we got the chance to speak with Kamal Ravikant, someone we’ve wanted to chat with for a while, so we arranged our schedules to make this happen. This guy has lived many lifetimes already, and he’s experienced lost, distilled what he's learned from it and provides practical ways which helped him to improve his life and others in a very simple way. You may recall he put out a book called “Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It “. We dive into the reasons why he wrote the book, the backstory and you’ll hear how his story was not what we expected at all in regards to how he got to where he is today. Kamal got so much feedback from his book which went viral, he decided to go back and rework it, adding some step by step advice, so it’s very fresh new content. It’s an expanded version with a boatload of practical advice including an actual manual in the book on how to proceed. Each step is broken down and he told us that he has not only learned a lot but gets a ton of feedback from people who reach out to him (he actually includes his email address in the book)! His ideas are not only powerful but the simplicity of it all is a winner. As you listen, you will hear us share some of our own struggles and Kamal’s input to those. You’ll also hear how even though he is deep into business, his talk is so intertwined and starts with making sure you have your stuff together internally. When you are done, be sure to check out some of our previous shows dealing with mindset and business with Nancy Marmolejo and Aaron Fletcher. “It was in that moment of darkness, where I had nothing left to want to go on, I made a decision that I was going to get out of it. And how I did it, I don’t know where it came from but I wrote a vow to myself in my journal. It was a vow to love myself.” - Kamal Ravikant Some Topics We Discussed Include: What happened when Kamal had a near-death experience recently and how he has rebounded How to figure out your physical well-being, relationship well-being, etc. so that your business will improve as well.

We are back with another awesome show with Theo Lucier with a boatload of information! You may remember we had Theo on previously and his episode was super popular as we talked about sleep, having more energy and the best supplements to take. As we come into the seminar season when a lot of events are happening, we realize that those events can be really draining as there’s a change in diet, you are away from your normal routine and you’re on your feet all day. If you are attending these events, we talk about how you can counteract these things. We also highlight how to prep yourself at home or at the office, and there’s a lot of supplement talk, habits, and practices - both free and paid stuff. You’ll have everything you need to not only succeed at home but also feel your best away from home as well. We also love getting feedback on this type of stuff, so let us know what you think about this subject and/or what types of subjects you’d like us to ask in the future and what types of topics you want us to cover. After you are done, you’ll definitely want to check out our previous show with Theo as well as our show with Joe Cohen for even more tools to add to your health and wellness library. “Let’s just focus on your body first, because you don’t have to think about it, just do certain things and your body is provided the conditions it needs to begin repairing itself...and before you know it you can think more clearly and that’s when you have the energy and the willpower.” - Theo Lucier Some Topics We Discussed Include: The turning point over the last few years where ‘Hustle & Grind’ has changed to slowing it down and taking care of yourself first How to pick the right MCT oil to avoid the dreaded disaster pants The best group of supplements you will ever need, plus a shortcut to get almost everything you need in one capsule What the heck the Flexner Report is and why it’s affected the way we think about medicine today The one thing that 80% of folks in North America are lacking and what to do about it Why you can’t just think yourself better and how to use a bottom-up approach to attach depression, anxiety, and other health-related issues Tons of tips for attending events, and how to ensure that you will be on top of your game, even when you want to imbibe at that after-hours event after hours, (including the best ways to avoid a hangover the next day) So many amazing recommendations on how to supplement for the best results, where to find them all and which ones to take in unison and when The difference between various types of salt and water, simple things that we should all pay attention to And much, much more!

We are back and on today’s show, we are chatting with Doc Williams, an awesome guy who approached us to be a guest on our show. We couldn’t say no as we realized he came with so much value and a model that was easy to follow, that we really wanted to share it. Doc comes across as someone who has lived many lifetimes, going through a variety of businesses through the ages (even though he’s close to our age). He’s worked with ESPN, AppSumo, an Olympic medal team, he ran his own CrossFit gym, even a candy store! He’s done so many interesting things in his life, and he’s one of the very few people who have made the cut through reaching out to us directly with his model. He’s also worked with VaynerSports and is clearly someone who makes stuff happen. You’ll hear how Doc takes the concept of creating content, which can be super time consuming and leans into what your personality is best suited for, then repurposing that content in a way in which you are getting it in front of the right people. You’ll also learn which channels are working and how to set up your own content funnel to keep it as simple for you so you don’t get overwhelmed trying to be everywhere, all over the various social media channels. After you are done, check out our talks with Paul Clifford and David Sinick as we discuss content syndication, content upgrading and speeding up the process for promoting and creating content. “If the opportunity is there, I just try to listen as much as possible...how could be of use.” - Doc Williams Some Topics We Discussed Include: Matt was the first person in his high school to do…..? Listen and find out! What things Doc would do differently if he had to start all over again How Doc turned a reality show opportunity into a new business idea What type of content you should be focused on providing in your business and why you don’t need to be everywhere, all the time across social media Doc’s personality assessment test, why everyone should take it and how you can get a copy for yourself How to run tests of your smaller pieces of content to know what works and get the right feedback from the right people first What Doc learned from selling candy at a young age to his friends And much, much more!

On our last show with Chris Krimitsos we chatted about his podcasting event, Podfest. At a lot of events we’ve attended, there's a lot of chest pumping but Podfest was the first event where the consensus was more about supporting each other and collaboration. Ever since then, we’ve been obsessed with the Podfest community and started to ingrain ourselves into the podfesting world because we love that perspective so much. In today’s show, we dive into how awesome Podfest is, why you should definitely attend, all the cool swag and raffle items they have there, the special event that we are hosting this year, and so many other details that really sets this event apart. On the business idea side, just consider how many ideas are still roaming around in your brain, waiting to be acted on. What if you started that thing you always said you’d do, even if it was imperfect? We also chat about Chris’ book Start Ugly, how he got the idea, who the main characters are based on in real life, and why it’s important for everyone to read it because of these very reasons and more. When you’ve listened, be sure to check our previous show with Chris as well as our show with September Dohrmann for more tips on how to get the most out of attending events as well as for building systems not only for marketing events, but your business in general. “You think because someone is more successful than you, they figured it out. The problem is everybody reaches a limit and they forget to start ugly again.” - Chris Krimitsos Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to help us with our upcoming software How the Nintendo brand started (it’s not what you think!) The 7 step system to starting ugly which will get you started and continuing to move ahead What makes Podfest different from other events and why you should attend How Chris came up with his book idea and a quick summary of this call to arms to encourage you to take action on your ideas and creations so you can release yourself from the chains of perfectionism Why is Joe sitting in an old lady rocking chair during the show?

We’re back and on today’s show, we are joined by Bedros Keuilian who runs the Empire Mastermind and the Empire Podcast show with another one of our former guests, Craig Ballantyne. Bedros is a cool guy who discovered his passion for helping people early on in life. We talk about his interesting past and how his father helped his family flee the Soviet Union when he was a child plus how growing up a poor foreigner, constantly on the move helped him to become resilient and an influencer, even at a young age. We also talk about the importance of mentors and the various ways in which Bedros’ personal mentor assisted him, which led him to eventually having one of the most successful gym models, landing on the Inc. 5,000 list three times in a row, and hitting Entrepreneur Magazine’s list of 500 best franchises out of 175,000 franchises out there. When you’re done, be sure to check out our show we recorded with Angelo Sisco and Mike Matuz, fitness entrepreneurs as well who have figured a way to be their own boss. “Even my business partner, Craig Ballantyne - I paid him to mentor me, and he paid me to mentor him years later as my business took off as I got better at selling high ticket prices. The point of this is, without mentors you’re not getting anywhere.” - Bedros Keuilian Some Topics We Discussed Include: How Bedros and his family left the constraints of the Soviet Union when he was a child Growing up in the U.S., not knowing English and dumpster diving for food How Bedros went from being a fat kid in high school to getting ripped (even though he never did ask that girl to the prom) Why it’s important to constantly improve yourself, even if you lead a comfortable life (Rubik’s cube speedcubing, anyone?) Key lessons learned from watching The Sopranos What Bedros learned from his first mentor and how it shaped his life forever Changes made during the economic crash which led to a successful franchise offer Bedros’ early job working as a bouncer at a gay bar (and you’ll never believe who he met there!)

He’s a former Lecturer in Marketing at Stanford's Graduate School of Business and also taught at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design. His first book, Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products, is an international bestseller and taught Silicon Valley how to design behavior. His next book, Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life, reveals the Achilles' heel of distraction and provides a guidebook for getting the best of technology without letting it get the best of us. In today’s show, Nir dives deep into all the ways we get distracted in today’s world and best practices for becoming indistractable, so you can stay focused, get more done and still have time to schedule downtime, fun stuff and the things that you place your most important values on, such as health and family time. After listening, go check out our conversations with Brad Spencer and Henry Evans for more time saving tips on how to plan out your week for maximum efficiency and focus. “The skill of the century is going to be to become indistractable.
