The Business Method: Interviewing Billionaires, Billion Dollar Founders & the World’s Most Successful People 🎧🔥

Josh Muccio~ Founder of The Pitch Podcast ~ Current Series ~ 100 Interviews with 100 Major Influencers Hey listeners, I got the exciting opportunity to hop on the mic with the founder and host of The Pitch Podcast, Josh Muccio. The Pitch is one of the top podcasts out there today on business and entrepreneurship. The Pitch features entrepreneurs in need of funding and they get to “pitch” a panel of investors. Very much like Sharktank but, it is a real show where entrepreneurs pitch real investors for real money. We got to talk with Josh for well over an hour about how he started The Pitch and kept growing it even after having fifty-five shows with zero investments. Finally, he got the first investment on the show and everything changed from that moment on. Not too long after, Gimlet Media acquired Josh’s podcast, which then eventually led to Spotify purchasing Gimlet for over $200 million. This has changed everything for Josh as a professional podcaster and creative entrepreneur. Now, The Pitch has been named the best business podcast on startup life by Fortune magazine and it is one of the top rated business podcasts in the world! On the show today we chat with Josh about how he got his start as an entrepreneur and podcaster, his first failing podcast and the idea to create The Pitch. We talk a lot about what is making podcasts successful today, we share some methods of what works when building a successful podcast, and where we think the podcast world is headed in the next few years. We also touch a bit on influence and how Josh manages his influence as a top podcaster. 2:19: Who is Josh Muccio? 8:47: The Humble Beginnings of The Pitch 15:01: The Trials & Errors of Podcasting 22:54: How Josh Landed Sponsorship for The Pitch 27:44: Josh on Landing A $350,000 Investment 30:26: Gimlet Media Acquisition 33:36: Josh On Staying True To Yourself as a Creator 40:24: The Pitch in 5 Years 43:45: The Current State of The Podcast Industry 47:41: Josh On Achieving Balance As A Podcaster 54:17: Podcast Technology Trends on Apple, Spotify and Google 1:00:10: Josh On Managing His Influence 1:07:36: Josh on Personal & Professional Growth 1:14:30: Where to Find Josh Muccio Contact Info: The Pitch Podcast: https://gimletmedia.com/shows/the-pitch The Pitch on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0L04op9D76TOfmzm7yOf9T Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshmuccio/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/joshmuccio

Matt Kepnes ~ Founder of the Famous Travel Blog, Nomadic Matt ~ Current Series ~ 100 Interviews with 100 Major Influencers Way back in 2008, I first decided I wanted to make money online and travel the world. I used to read some blogs of travelers that were leading the way for this new lifestyle and somehow, I came across a book called ‘How to Travel the World on $50 a Day’. It was written by a guy named Matt Kepnes, also known as Nomadic Matt. Matt ran a blog that helped others travel the world on a budget while he made money from his blog and book while traveling the world. I thought it was genius and I said to myself, ‘Man, this guy has it figured out!” So I bought his book so I could figure out how to do this as well. A couple of years later, I had a backpack and a one way ticket to Costa Rica. Thanks to Matt and others like him, I was about to start my journey traveling the world while making money online. I never ever thought one day, I would be interviewing Matt on my podcast telling him that story. That was eleven years ago and today I have been living and traveling to many different countries while business businesses online. It has been the biggest adventure of my life. Today, I get the chance to sit down with Nomadic Matt and talk with him about what he is up to these days. Matt’s blog was successful back in 2008, but once I started to travel, I didn’t hear too much from him. It was good to find out that he is still running his blog and built it into an incredibly successful business. Matt now has quite a few books published about travel and runs a successful travel/business conference called TravelCon that sells out in just a few days. If you are interested in building and/or running a successful business while traveling the world, being a travel influencer, and what it is like to be a true digital nomad, this is the show for you. 01:42: Who is Nomadic Matt? 06:52: Matt’s Travel/Work/Life Schedule 08:00: Lessons Learned as a Traveler 10:10: Becoming a Full Time Traveler 14:31: What Made Your Blog Stand Out Compared to Others? 15:59: How Does Matt Network While Traveling? 18:03: Strategy to Use to Start a Blog in 2019 18:33: Tips on Creating Good Content 22:23: Creating a Travel Conference 31:54: Tips on Getting Big Names to Events 33:57: What Does Freedom Mean to a Top Travel Influencer? 39:10: Balancing Finances Between Business and Charity 41:46: Matt’s Plans for the Future 43:23: Spoilers From the New Book 45:51: Responsibilities of an Influencer Contact Info: https://www.nomadicmatt.com/ https://travelcon.org/

Dr. Andrew Hill~ Founder of Peak Brain Institute ~ Current Series ~ 100 Interviews with 100 Major Influencers Do you really know if you have a healthy brain? Most of us would like to think so, but how can we really tell? We know if we have a healthy body, we know if we have healthy habits. So why don’t we know if we have healthy brains? One reason why is because society associates unhealthy brains with mental disorders, and if we don’t have a mental disorder then our brain must be healthy. Right?....Wrong! We could actually have problems with our brains for years before it shows signs. Brain health is on the cusp of becoming a really big movement and Dr. Andrew Hill is one that helping lead that movement. Andrew is a neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and biohacking advocate. He holds a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from UCLA, and is best known as an expert neurofeedback practitioner and brain fitness coach. With an extensive history working in mental health, and as a university lecturer and researcher, Dr. Hill founded Peak Brain Institute in 2015. Peak Brain Institute a community-oriented company whose mission is to expand understanding and accessibility to brain-hacking technologies.

On the show today we chat in depth with Andrew about how our brains actually operate. We talk about how scanning brains can prevent many mental disorders, flow-states and the effects of alcohol and drugs on our brains.

Scott Carney ~ Co-Author of 'What Doesn't Kill Us' w/ Wim Hof ~ Current Series ~ 100 Interviews with 100 Major Influencers Could you imagine climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in record time with no training? How about being injected with a deadly endotoxin and your body has no reaction to it? Or even just completing more pushups than you ever thought possible with no oxygen in your lungs? Most people think these are impossible feats. Something only reserved for superhumans or for people that spend years in training. But they are not. All of the aforementioned activities have been accomplished by regular people that apply one simple breathing method, the Wim Hof Method. Our guest today is an investigative journalist and a long-time student of the Wim Hof Method. When Scott heard about Wim and his wild claims, he went to meet Wim with one purpose….to prove him wrong. After Scott spent a few days at Wim’s mountain house in Poland, he realized Wim and his wacky breathing tactics were the real deal. He was convinced because Scott himself began doing more pushups than he ever had completed with no oxygen in his lungs. He took baths in freezing cold water without getting hypothermia, and if those weren’t enough, Wim took Scott and in the dead of winter they both climbed the tallest mountain in Poland wearing nothing but shorts and boots! Scott then spent the next six years of his life training with Wim, learning these methods and eventually he climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in record time also wearing only boots and shorts and co-authored with Wim on the best-selling book What Doesn’t Kill Us. Today on the show, Scott talks to us about the Wim Hof Method and how its application helped him gain more control over his body and mindset. He also shares breathing techniques, tips on how to identify false gurus and cultivating your own inner guru when looking to make life changes. 02:16: Who is Scott Carney? 14:20: Why Scott Wanted to Expose False Gurus 16:53: The Enlightenment Trap 17:23: The Wim Hof Technique 27:59: Native Americans & Ice Baths 32:10: Basic Breathing Pattern & Cold Shower Routine 35:24: Benefits of Breathing & Cold Showers 37:39: The Endotoxin Study 44:04: Holding 29 World Records 46:44: Ice Baths & Testosterone 49:49: Scott Carney’s Breathing & Cold Shower Routine 55:04: Identifying False Gurus 1:02:24: Meditating to Death 1:10:44: Understanding Mindfulness 1:13:16: Climbing Mt.

Hollis Carter ~ Co-Founder of The Baby Bathwater Institute ~ Current Series ~ 100 Interviews with 100 Major Influencers Hey podcast listeners, today we are hopping on the mic with Hollis Carter. Hollis is an internet marketer from back in the day when it was a Wild Wild West show. He has had quite a bit of success and one of the first people to create a video sales letter. Throughout his years as an entrepreneur, he kept going to these conferences that were all about “pitching and selling”. After many different conferences, his now partner Michael Lovich and he got to talking about creating a community of high-level entrepreneurs and high-caliber people that forbid ‘pitching and selling’ at their events. Thus, they created a community of entrepreneurs called Baby Bathwater Institute. Each year, they have an event on an island in Croatia called Baby Bathwater Island. Last year, I attended and I was blown away by the content. A friend of mine said it was kind of like Mario Bros. the video game, and warping from Level 2 to Level 12 in a matter of a few short days. I couldn’t agree more, and as soon as I left the event last year, I knew I wanted to attend again this year. That event is coming up soon, at the end of June on an Island in Croatia. On the show today, Hollis and I chat about the experience of being on the island and what it like running a community of high-profile entrepreneurs, influencers and thought leaders. One thing that I really like about their events, is that there are no paid professional speakers. If someone is sharing their content, it is because they have proven their methods, and they are there to share and be a part of the community. 02.55: A Bit About Baby Bathwater Island & Hollis 08:10: What is it like on Baby Bathwater Island? 16:35: Having No Sales Community 18:05: Spoilers for Workshops on the Island in 2019 21:05: A Business Mastermind Like Summer Camp 23:30: Curating a Community of Influential People Contact Info: https://babybathwater.com/

Brad Birkenfeld~ Exposing the Largest Tax Fraud Scheme in the History of the World w/ the Author of 'Lucifer’s Banker' ~ Current Series ~ 100 Interviews with 100 Major Influencers The Swiss banking system is one of the most powerful and secretive banking systems we have in the world. They have been known for years as the go-to place for wealthy from all countries to store their money and according to Swiss law they absolutely cannot share their clients information with any person, government or entity around the world. Our guest today, Bradley Birkenfeld is a former top employee of the Union Bank of Switzerland, known as UBS. He ran the United States division of the company in Geneva for years. While working for UBS, he found some documents that were written to protect the bank from illegal activity that the bank was condoning in the United States. These documents were worded in a way that they could throw their employees “under the bus” if they needed to direct the blame elsewhere. When Brad approached the company about it, they ignored him. This was a huge red flag for Brad, and after numerous attempts, he eventually resigned from the company. This inspired a series of events which led Brad to approach the Department of Justice in the United States government, about the problem and illegal activity the bank had been conducting on US soil. To his surprise, the Department of Justice didn’t welcome him with open arms. In fact, they even turned the case against him. Eventually, Brad had to turn to the US Senate and IRS to expose what turned into the largest case of tax fraud the US government has ever seen, and Brad became largest whistleblower the US Government and the Swiss banking system has ever come across. On today’s show Brad tells his story and outlines what he has written in his book Lucifer’s Banker: The Untold Story of How I Destroyed Swiss Bank Secrecy. Now, because of Brad’s participation with the bank, he was actually sentenced to 30 months in prison by the United States. What is shocking, is the out of the 19,000 names Brad exposed to the US government not a single sole went to jail, except him. That’s right, the only person that went to jail is the man that exposed billions of dollars of tax fraud against the United States. So far, the US government has collected somewhere near $16 billion in unpaid taxes from Brad’s case. Now there is some good new at the end of this tale! Because the government collected so much from Brad’s case, the IRS rewarded him $104 million...yes, you heard me right.
