"If you do great work, you absolutely deserve referrals, but you do not owe them. So you have to be willing to do a little bit of work to receive them, and you can't do the things that make everybody, including yourself, uncomfortable or feeling desperate." "It takes two things for a referral to happen: desire and opportunity." "When we can impact how our referral sources feel about us, and how I want them to feel about me or feel about you… we then earn the opportunity to direct how they think." "When you give a referral, your reputation goes with it every single time, and if the referral goes wrong, it is on you to help make it right." "Life is all about relationships and we get out of them exactly what we put into them."

"You gotta learn how to take care of yourself first because once you take care of yourself, you have something to give back to others." "We teach people how to treat us based on what we choose to do or not do, what we allow or don't allow in our lives. And if we don't give ourselves permission to do what's best for our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being, others won't either." "Expectation is the root of all heartache." - William Shakespeare "People often want to help but don't know what will be helpful, so help them by letting them know exactly what you need. You might be surprised at their willingness to help you." "It is so much fun to enjoy the holidays, to do it with people you love dearly. Make those amazing memories with folks … but don't do any of it at the expense of your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health because it's just not worth it."

"The best coaches have coaches. In fact, if you're hiring a coach that isn't being coached, do not hire that person." "It's important to keep your head in a positive place as much as possible because we are surrounded by a lot of negativity. And unfortunately, that's a big part of the media. The media likes to blow things up and make things a big story. You have to try to really think for yourself and stay as positive as you can be."

You're aerodynamically not supposed to get off the ground." "I don't profess that I can change the whole entire world. But I can change the worlds of a few people." "When I used to do corporate training, I would say when you go and you meet someone and you're building a relationship with them over time. And the first date is not the time to throw up in their trash can because it's not that they don't care, it's that they don't care." "One important thing to grow personally and professionally is to invite coaches and mentors into your life… and believe it or not, books count as coaching." "A lot of people avoid divorce but they're not happily married." "The title is what the book is about, unequivocally, no explanation needed.

It is possible to become financially independent in 10 to 15 years, but real estate is a fast track to financial independence. If you're trying to replace your income, look for a property that's going to cash flow at least a thousand dollars a month. A long-term rental is an unfurnished unit leased for a year. Medium-term rentals are furnace units that are rented over 30 days, so they are month-to-month agreements. A short-term rental is less than 30 days, normally three or four nights, and that's the typical vacation rental model. "Even if you think you're an expert in your field, keep growing, keep learning, and keep reading books. Because you need to be getting excited, and you need to be acquiring more knowledge."

"Everything that happened in our lives served a purpose." "A lot of people have this misconception that you'll write a book and then you'll become a bestseller and all of a sudden you'll make all this money. And while that would be luckily, it's not actually what usually happens. It's what comes from the authority of being an author that creates the opportunities that create the income." "You are not for everybody. If you're trying to be for everybody, you're going to be for nobody." "Nobody's trauma is better or worse than the other person. But it's all perception how we experience it." "We just wanna be heard. We just wanna know that we're not alone. I don't want you to fix it. I don't want you to solve it because most of the time unless you've experienced it, you don't know what the hell to do." "There are moments where we have to take a step back and be like; this person doesn't know how to support me because we've never been in this space before. So it's up to me to say what I need in order to feel supported. And if I don't know what I need, it's also up to me to say I don't know what I need." "When you are assaulted, going into the world as whether you're female or male and having intimate experiences, they change after you've been assaulted." "Rather than asking the why question, say, what does this make possible?" "Our relationships are the foundation to every single thing in our life, and it starts with the relationship with ourselves."

"Never split the difference around negotiation. What you need to do is not ask why in any negotiation or any conversation. It's asking what. And it's asking how."

As soon as you've identified the right people to talk to, determine if this is the lawyer that you want to hire. One of the key questions you should ask is whether s/he has experience working on cases similar to yours and if s/he has achieved the desired results. NOTABLE QUOTES: "Naturally, we assume there's going to be difficulties when it comes to the legal world. Nobody wants to have the need for a lawyer. No one wants a legal problem. But as a business owner, it's almost impossible to not have lawyers." "Business has never been just about money. You can't survive as a business if all you are thinking about is making money." "Many of our most influential businesses started as small businesses. Small business is the heart of our society." "If your personal relationships are completely out of whack, that is going to impact your business life and your professional development." "It is really central to everything that we do in business building those stronger relationships to enhance our professional life, but ultimately that just brings us happiness and joy." "Develop the right skills to keep you thriving in any environment." "People are worried about inflation, about recessions, about cancel culture, about all of these new phenomena. Have we forgotten businesses always face challenges? Businesses always have some problems." "We should not disempower ourselves by limiting what we can accomplish vis-a-vis the professional relationships in our life."

John and Shea continue their conversation about Shea's life story with a deep dive into some of the lessons he's learned along the way. Throughout the conversation, they discuss how being abnormal is good (and necessary), the importance of failing and adversity for success, the importance of finding purpose, and much more! Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] - Shea's transition from baseball to civilian life [05:04] - Cheat codes to success [08:34] - Uniqueness and abnormality pay off [11:18] - Importance of failing in life [13:24] - The Level-Up System to become a lead performer [20:16] - The role of faith in Shea's life and business [25:37] - One habit every person needs [30:37] - Shea's plan to write a book [37:11] - Last book Shea read NOTABLE QUOTES: "Successful people make up a story in their head. I can't trust you because you want something from me. You have to want something from me… But what I discovered when I pulled back those layers of the onion, the only reason why I couldn't trust other people is I couldn't trust myself." "People are struggling and stuck in a status quo because they don't do anything. Like it's, if you just do this and do this and do this, you're guaranteed success… It's just doing the little things every single day and creating resilience and belief in who you are and stirring up that hunger to keep you going through those days to where you wanna give up." "We use excuses at our current situation to keep us where we are right now. Momentum is the key to life. The hardest part of momentum is getting started. The reason why people don't start is excuses and their current situation." "Your excuses are valid. Those are your excuses… But even though you have those, you still have to take the action. You still have to go." "You have to be able to hit the curve ball. You have to be able to pivot what makes you unique." "The only way you'll find abnormality, the only way you'll be unique is discovering who you are at the core." "So many of us can't just show the world who we truly are in fear of people thinking you're weak." "How do you know what you want if you don't know who you are?" "If you wanna create wealth, do something you're passionate about." "Each one of us has been given a voice … God doesn't reveal that to us. But it's our responsibility to keep training and keep growing and keep doing, not to compete, but to speak."

John talks to Shea Hillenbrand — former 2x All-Star Major League Baseball (MLB) player who played for the Boston Red Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks, Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and Los Angeles Dodgers. Today Shea is a Global Elite Performance specialist that helps world-class athletes and leaders master their inner game so they can win in all areas of life, which provides true meaning to their success.

They don't require ability. They require commitment. They require dedication. They require sweat and tears and blood." "You have to put the work in. You have to do it. You have to allow yourself to fail. You have to allow yourself to jump outside your comfort zone. You have to allow yourself to go out there and do it over and over again because you have to create resilience through the process." "What do 97% of people do? They give up. They allow that failure to conform, to define who they are, rather than refine who they are." "Playing minor league baseball is extremely difficult. But I didn't give up… So when everybody said it was too hot, they were tired… I never gave myself that opportunity, that option. I trained that mindset, that MLB mindset to go out there and persevere and do it and pivot all the way to the top." "Life is about momentum. We could argue and discuss politics, COVID, and religion, but life is about momentum. And once you get into momentum, stacking little wins on top of each other, what's gonna happen is you will get rewarded." "The most important conversation you ever have in your life is the conversation you have with yourself, not anybody else." "The biggest thing that you could do for yourself is fill up yourself first, work on yourself, your personal pillars… Then your private pillar, that's your interpersonal relationships and people close around you, your family, your parents, your spouse, your kids. When you do that, your professional life will explode to a level that you didn't even think imaginable."

And it was simply because I was self-sabotaging." "The beautiful thing about books is it's literally the distillation of all of the brilliance, the failures, the pain, the difficulties, the challenges, the successes, the breakthroughs of that individual who took the time to write that down and to give that as a gift." "The things in your life that you are resenting and that you take for granted are actually your greatest gifts." "Success and sales start with serving." "Clarity to me is this foundation for all of us to grab a picture, to create a picture of the version of us that we want to. Not to say like, "Oh my gosh, I'm in this terrible spot. I could never get there." But no. Instead to say, "Okay, this is who I want to be as a father, as a husband, as a wife, as an entrepreneur, as a friend. This is how I see myself." "If you want to change something in your life, you have to literally change your mind." "There's the pain of staying the same, and there's the pain of change.

And because it didn't originate with you, that means it doesn't really belong to. Because it doesn't belong to you, it is meant to be shared. So share your best stuff, not your leftovers. Because if you're good enough to get great stuff and you pass it along, that means you're good enough to get more great stuff." "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle." "I wanna make sure that I am living and modeling what it is that I preach from stage or on page." "If someone were to see me behaving in a manner that is not congruent with what I share on stage or what I share on page by my definition, that would make me a hypocrite. And that is one of the last words I ever want to be associated with my name or my brand." "I acknowledge that I'm flawed and I'm fallible. I'm far from perfect. I'm going to make mistakes. I'm gonna say the wrong thing. Occasionally I'm gonna have a lapse in judgment. So this is not about holding myself to an unrealistic standard, but it's about doing the best that I'm capable of consistently to live up to what it is that I'm preaching for others to do."

"The only way you and I can learn is by doing things wrong. When we do it wrong, we learn what not to do so that we can get closer to what we're supposed to do the right way to do it." "Clarity leads to competence, which leads to confidence, which leads to influence. And that leads to the impact that eventually leads to income." "Confidence means you know that you know and nobody's gonna convince you differently because you know it. Arrogance typically means you're trying to compensate for something else and overinflating how good you are at something." "I was scared about doing multiple short-form videos. I was afraid I was gonna look stupid … And it was that fear that kept me from doing that, and when I finally said, "I'm okay with looking stupid. I'm okay with looking ridiculous in videos.

But that's something that I've developed now, the importance of going out and educating yourself, learning a little bit more…." "Why would you give up? Martin Luther King didn't give up. Obama didn't give up. Oprah didn't give up. I've met a couple of these people and they're human. They didn't give up. They had a dream, they had a vision and they kept going."

John talks to Diana Gladney — the Queen of Video Simplified. Diana helps busy entrepreneurs simplify video creation so they can amplify their business and brand using video. She also simplifies complicated topics like video marketing and technology so anyone can share their brand message and purpose with those who need it. Diana's YouTube content has been downloaded over 1.5 million times. Listen to this episode to learn more: [01:00] - Diana's intro [03:06] - Making content creation easy for people who're struggling with technology [04:42] - Why you should use a camera instead of a webcam [07:09] - Some camera advice for beginners [12:28] - The right type of microphone and how to use it [17:47] - What she does to stay up-to-date on the newest tech information and gadgets [19:32] - Her review on Loupedeck Live and Sony APS-C lenses [21:07] - Her thoughts on actual backgrounds versus computer generated [28:16] - The pros and cons of long form vs. short form video creation [34:21] - The best social media platforms to use and why [36:51] - Why video is the king of content [39:09] - About her book The Video Creator's Recipe: A Beginner's Guide to Taking Your Videos from Bland to Bingeable on YouTube [42:18] - How to get a free signed copy of her book and free 30-minute consultation [44:03] - How Diana defines failing and failure [46:03] - How often to put content out KEY TAKEAWAYS: [09:41] - Look at your content goals. What are you trying to do or envision for the next one to three years? What's going to get you by for 80 to 90% of the time without too many hang ups? That's gonna be your camera. [13:13] - When you're looking at gear and equipment, people are looking at spot buying stuff… The easiest way to approach this is to… look at a system of equipment that serves your purpose. [27:27] - When you have to look up for the how to do things, you might always find a tutorial. It may always look easy, but in application and use is how I think you'll figure out what's honestly gonna work for you. [30:12] - Short-form content is a great way to be a great content creator when it comes to even just the regular longer-form horizontal videos. So 60 seconds or less is a good range to learn and get really proficient with doing. [36:17] - Video is the king of content because it is one of the few forms of content where you can really interact with people… it's close to normal human connectivity and relationship metrics that we would just naturally get from meeting somebody and being with people. Video does that in a way that the other mediums can't transcend and haven't over many years now.

Very quickly, I started to look at this neck injury as a gift to me. Now, of course, I would feel differently. I'm sure if it had been more catastrophic or the outcome had been worse, but I cannot help thinking how much this has given me already in terms of forcing me to sit still, to be perfectly honest, getting back to my writing." "There is a spiritual gift of slowing; it is a discipline to do that, to force yourself to slow down and be in the moment." "I've never believed that God does this or that, but I've always believed through my life that there are signs that are in front of you, and they're put there by God … but you only see them when you're open to seeing them." "Another thing that being a mom does to you is it makes you forgive so many more people because everybody is somebody's son or daughter." "Sometimes it wasn't the best people who survived. Sometimes it's the people who were ruthless or self-serving who did survive." "The only way it gets better is if you actively pursue it and you work on it. I don't care what the skillset is. It doesn't matter. If you're not spending time working on it, it isn't gonna get better." "I don't care where they go to college. I don't care if they go to college. As long as I have raised the type of boys and men who do the right thing, when other people are watching and when nobody's watching, then I know that I've succeeded."

"Why I think women make better spies is that maternal nurturing, empathetic side of women that make them more effective case officers in being able to handle foreign agents, being able to counsel them, not to be at risk or being able to safeguard them." "I don't think it's possible to find your purpose in life without pain. I don't think it's possible because pain is clarifying. It is. It will show you exactly what you need to do in order to get where you need to go." "The challenge for all of us is to constantly be evolving, to be the best people that we can be, or an even better version of ourselves than we were the day before."

And we tend to end up running into that wall, realizing that when we stop that courting process with our wife, or we stop that teaching process with our kids because we think that we are the leader and sole provider, we're actually dropping our responsibilities and leaving them to someone or something." "I wanted to be able to show my kids that God comes first. My wife comes second. My kids come third or fourth. And then my career is somewhere in between." "Work smart, and you're effective with your time management to where your work-life harmony allows you to invest time in the things you love. And that time that's left over, you make time for everything else." "Everything in the world is ever so elastic and changing its system." "It isn't about the destination. It's about the journey. It's about getting better that itty bitty baby steps at a time. So each one feels like hardly anything, but they become cumulative. And then you really start to see the progress." "We can learn from every situation and everyone we run across, no matter their place in life." "Passion is for us. Purpose is what we give to others." "What's ordinary to you is magic to others." "Wake up broke. Wake up single, even though you're married and you're successful." "You should start dating and courting your wife even more now that you're married to hang on and grow what you've originally committed to."

"Be sure to let people know how you feel about them. Because far too many times, we let those moments escape, and we can never get them back." "Half the problems that we face as a society, as a human race, spring out of our inability to effectively manage the relationships of marriage and parenting. And if we could fill our responsibilities in those areas, so many of the other problems in the world would just vanish." "I don't believe business is cutthroat. If you're building a successful business long-term and not helping people, you're not going to have a long-term business. It's gonna fall apart. You can fool people for a while, but if you want a long-term business, the only way you survive is to provide valuable products and services for people they know they can count on." "Communication is the currency of life of being in interaction with other human beings. You have to be able to communicate with them." "Just because you have a message doesn't mean you know how to say it well." "What one man can do, another man can do." "Building skill and honing a craft has much more long-term payoff than just leaning back, relying on your gift to wing your way through life."

If you are not doing well, your business is not. And one of the main pillars of human health is community." "You don't know the level of support you can have until you give someone the opportunity to support you. And the feeling that connected, supported, cared for, and loved bolsters every part of your life." "If you are a personal brand, business, or a CEO, the more supported you are the more full you are; the more connected you are, the more heart-centered and heart-driven you can be." "Most awesome thing about humanity is that we have the capability to become wildly invested in something." "You have to know what it is that you need to do for you. And once you figure those things out, those are the things you need to do." "We have to build in white space … because there has to be room for life to happen."

"Figure out who you want to be, not what you want to do." "Pain leads to purpose, which leads to the platform." "The problem with most people is that they pretend the pain is not there. And some of the more dangerous ways that people pretend the pain isn't there is by trying to cover it up, putting salve on it, and using things like alcohol, drugs, and promiscuity. And none of those things are healthy because they don't help. All they do is push off what you're going to have to deal with anyway. And the further you push it down, the worse it gets." "Many times, people confuse happiness with joy. Happiness means I feel good about this at the moment because something is driving it at the moment. And as soon as the moment is gone, I am no longer happy. So striving for happiness is fool's gold." "Joy says, even in the midst of the most horrific things that could possibly happen in life, i.e., the Holocaust, I can still be filled with this sense of purpose. Joy is being fulfilled regardless of the circumstances." "A lot of the time, when you've been living with a certain amount of pain for a long time, you don't necessarily realize how much discomfort you're in."

And the kids…need to see that they're not the top priority. Your spouse is the top priority." "What marriage is all about is putting the needs of your mate ahead of yours." "Discipline is the key to success in anything you do." "Discipline is the ability to do what you need to do and when you need to do it, while no one is watching." "The more mentors you have, the more opportunities you have to grow." "My job as a leader is to create other great leaders.

"I saw a lot of great athletes who went into camp but mentally could not pick up the system and to be able to comprehend the information and make those split-second decisions while under extreme pressure." "Pain leads to purpose, which leads to platform." "My whole life I've always asked three simple questions when I dealt with any of those things. Why did this happen? What can I learn from it? And - How can I turn this into an opportunity?" "Even with social media, we can learn from so many different people … whether we know them or not. I'm constantly learning from other people and people that don't even know they're mentoring me. That's one of the ways we grow, that's one of the ways we improve, that's one of the ways we get better." "Failing is I tried something new. It didn't work, and I have an opportunity to learn. Failure is something completely different. It is a state of being, it is an active choice to stay stuck." "Failing is the only way you learn. You don't learn by doing it right.

"One of the biggest things that I had to learn was to forgive myself." "Maybe we need to focus more on the things that are harder, that we don't want to do.

In recent years, the hype that NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) have created is unmatchable. From art and music to stories and selfies, people are selling and buying everything they can as NFTs. But what is NFT actually? Andy Storch is back on the show to break down NFTs. Andy is a speaker, author of the book Own Your Career Own Your Life, a cancer survivor, a podcaster, an NFT investor, husband and dad. Listen to this episode to learn more: [02:47] - About NFTs (Non-fungible tokens) [06:36] - What are blockchain and cryptocurrency mining? [09:36] - What is a digital wallet and how is it related to NFTs and blockchain? [15:57] - Andy's NFT journey [17:00] - About Ethereum [21:27] - About Andy's podcast, My NFT Journey [22:33] - How to build a personal brand in the NFT space [27:16] - About Metaverse [30:39] - Advice to someone who is thinking about investing in NFTs [37:43] - Networking in the NFT space [39:17] - How to create an NFT collection even if you're not an artist [47:29] - Making an NFT out of your own quote or meme Key Takeaways: NFT: It is a unique digital code representing some kind of digital item, like art or music, as an investment, or it could be intellectual property or an access code, etc. The keys are: it's digital, trackable, and on the blockchain. An NFT can be verified as authentic or not or how many pieces there are in the world. Blockchain: A chain of computers running mathematical equations all around the world to verify and agree on transactions. It is like a digital ledger that's available to everybody worldwide. Every transaction in the blockchain is recorded, and anyone can see that transaction. Digital Wallet: A Digital wallet is like a digital safe which is protected by a password, but people can also see what you have if you choose to share them publicly. If your password to your digital wallet is lost, you can recover it using the seed phrase, but if you lose the seed phrase, it's lost forever. Seed phrase: A seed phrase is a series of words generated by your digital wallet that give you access to the items associated with that wallet. As long as you have your seed phrase, you'll have access to all of the crypto associated with the wallet — even if you lose the wallet. Ethereum is the second biggest cryptocurrency, but it is a little bit different from Bitcoin because, in addition to being a currency, it's also essentially a platform on which NFTs are built, created, and traded.
