He is the foremost expert on how to get ready for any kind of downturn, because downturns are always guaranteed. It's never "if," it's "when." And it makes more sense to be prepared to thrive in a downturn than it does to struggle. You're going to love Jonathan's story of why he's so passionate about teaching people not just how to make it through, but to take advantage of all the opportunities that present themselves during a recession while other people are going backwards. He talks brilliantly about why marketing is so much more effective during a recession and that you should be doubling down because you will be able to stand out. And you'll love his focus around generosity, and his advice on what you should do around giving during a recession. Question Highlights: -What were you doing when you hit your recession, and how did you get out of it? -Why is a recession a really good opportunity for some people? -How do you put yourself into a liquid position to take advantage of a recession? -What are the four steps for preparing for the next recession? -Should we give more or less during a recession? Guest Bio: Jonathan Slain and Paul Belair founded Recession.com to give entrepreneurs a free tool to assess their recession readiness at Recession.com/Ready. Jonathan Slain spent the Great Recession huddled in the fetal position on the floor of his office. He borrowed $250,000 from his mother-in-law to survive. Jonathan paid his mother-in-law back and is now a highly sought-after consultant (and, yes, he's still married!). Jonathan leverages his experience in investment banking and as an entrepreneur on the keynote speaking circuit because he doesn't want anyone else to have to borrow money from their mother-in-law in the next recession. Paul Belair wasn't scared when the Great Recession hit. He invested $1 million to purchase a business and just five years later sold it for over $70 million dollars. He achieved an American dream exit by using the Recession Gearbox model outlined in this book to create an intentional recession preparation plan. Paul is a CPA and an MBA, and currently serves as chair of the Young Presidents' Organization Construction Industry Network.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: -Having a generous upbringing -Parenting as an entrepreneur -Attracting better talent through generosity -Inspiring others to do better -The importance of video marketing -Meeting people where they are Resources: -Learn more at iheartdogs.com -Marshall's Instagram: instagram.com/marshallmorris -I Heart Dogs Instagram:instagram.com/iheartdogscom Show Notes: Marshall Morris is the founder of several businesses, but is probably best known for I Heart Dogs. They do giving back better than anyone else I know. We talk about where this generosity came from, why he's so good at helping others monetize themselves, and all the coming trends in 2020 if you're planning on selling anything. This is absolutely going to make or break your success in the coming year. Question Highlights: -How did you come so far so quickly? -How are you parenting so successfully? -What impact has generosity had on your success? -How did you become okay with sharing your success and giving? -Why are you so good at helping others build wealth? -What should we be doing to get our message out there? -Tell me about the art of creating jobs. Guest Bio: As the son of a hard-working, humble pastor, Marshall was taught early on the value of a hard day's work. In fact, at a young age, his father would "loan" him out for the weekend to different farmers he did business with to help out (for very little pay). This weekend help wasn't about making money, however, his father really just wanted to instill in him the value of working hard. And it's with this same mentality that his dad encouraged Marshall to attend college, but also informed him that it would be his responsibility to pay his own way – as that's the way he did it. Growing up in an impoverished family, his dad worked hard to pay for his college while attending so he'd never have to take out a loan. Not deterred by this, Marshall joined the military so his schooling could be paid for as he went. He never thought he would be deployed, but then 9/11 happened. Obviously, while deployed Marshall couldn't attend college so instead he read a lot of books (12 hours a night for a year) so he could continue at least some type of education. Among those books, he found that those focused on business resonated with him the most, and upon returning from his deployment he took it from there. Admittedly having more of a sales mindset from the beginning, he dabbled in real estate but gradually got out of it when the market took a turn. After returning from being deployed, Marshall was presented with the opportunity to help a friend of a friend with advertising sales on an automotive site that was struggling. Knowing very little about the internet, but feeling that this business could go somewhere, he offered to partner with this person. Their goal was to just make some money, make it a success and figure out the sales and marketing along the way with "Google university." Eventually the company started doing well, and they sold it to a bigger automotive company. It was through networking that he met his now business partner, Justin, who was in internet marketing. Having only a Facebook page, he enlisted the help of Marshall. Both found that their strengths and weaknesses balanced each other and they created the business I Heart Dogs. And the rest is history with other businesses such as I Heart Cats, I Heart Birds (and many more). Marshall and business partner, Justin, excel at building business models and then using those models anywhere. For them and their current niche, they've found that the more they do, the more they find opportunity (and who wouldn't want that?).

Tata Tickaradze tells us the story of how she founded Barter & Be, a community of female entrepreneurs who exchange goods and services without any capital. In her spare time, Tata is a branding expert and genius marketer who has an incredible digital marketing agency called To The Moon. As she was building this business, she kept running into one problem: in order to progress and expand the way she needed to, she needed to invest in professional services. But as a brand new business owner, she didn't always have the money to pay for those. When she looked around, she noticed her creative and entrepreneurial friends had those same problems, and often needed her help with social media and branding. They started to swap services, and everyone's businesses grew! You're going to feel like you have a way to start this business idea that you've always had on your mind but didn't feel like you had the money to start. This is all about resourcefulness, mindset, and applying a value to your services. Question Highlights: -Can you explain Barter & Be for us? -Were you really down to your last $78 when you started this company? -What's a good example of two people who exchanged services through Barter & Be? -How do people not devalue their services? -Is there a contract that people enter into? -How important was giving and generosity to you? Guest Bio: Tata Tickaradze is the founder of Barter & Be. A skilled marketer who understands the nuances of all aspects of social presence from planning to development to execution, Tata's created her own agency, To the Moon Social. She has single-handedly grown significant user communities based on her time-honed process. Tata's knowledge of content and delivery has been critical in the launch of major brands and professional services alike. As Tata built her own business, she kept running into a problem: In order to progress and expand, she needed to invest in professional services like graphic design, photography, and web development. But as a small business owner, she didn't always have the cash in her bank account to pay for these types of services. It was a catch-22: In order to be more profitable, she needed to up her game … but in order to up her game, she had to spend more money. When Tata looked around, she saw many of her creative and entrepreneurial friends running up against the same problem—and often, they needed her help with social media. Naturally, they started to swap services. And something amazing happened—everyone grew their businesses, together. A master connector, Tata created Barter & Be to help other women expand their networks of creative female entrepreneurs, and to facilitate the growth of their businesses without the hefty price tag.

I'm lifting the curtain on a conversation I had at my elite level mastermind with the legend, Rob Dyrdek. In case you've forgotten who he is (because I know you've heard of him), he is the professional skater turned TV personality and mega-entrepreneur. You probably know of him from his TV shows Ridiculousness, Fantasy Factory, or Rob & Big. But most people don't realize how wildly successful and brilliant an entrepreneur he is. He was willing to come to our mastermind and bless us with his incredible knowledge, not only of his businesses, but how he leads such a life of balance. I've never seen any entrepreneur do it like this before. Question Highlights: -What are your core values? -Where did your boundaries come from and how do you uphold them? -Why was the book Start at the End so impactful, and what do you do as a result of what you learned from that book? -What did it take for you to learn to be a numbers person? -What keeps you motivated to keep pushing? -Do you have a meditative or spiritual practice? -If you started over, what would be your next revenue stream? -Can you break down your morning routine? Guest Bio: At 18 years old, he used his knowledge gained from the skateboard industry to create his first company. The relentless pursuit of his childhood dreams made Rob Dyrdek a professional athlete at 16 years old and propelled him into the world of business before most people entered college. Surrounded by entrepreneurs in his youth, Dyrdek quickly learned the power of building brands. At 18 years old, he used that knowledge to create his first company. This "outlier" experience helped him to develop and grow both his own brands and increase the value of his brand partners as he was quickly becoming an influential professional skateboarder. By leveraging his influence and designing new concepts and ideas, he helped turn a rising footwear and apparel brand into a $500 million international company. He used that same expertise to build skate brands later in his career launching the world's first true professional skateboarding league Street League Skateboarding and a first of its kind skateboarding channel, ETN. That same approach to brand development led him to co-create and executive produce his first television show, Rob & Big on MTV. After the success of this first show, he created Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory showcasing his Do-Or-Dier® mentality towards entrepreneurship. Constantly evolving and taking calculated risks, Dyrdek beat world records with his physical feats while continuing his endeavors, launching several new brands while structuring multi-platform integrated partnerships. Dyrdek continued in his television success with the launch of his new production company, Superjacket. In this new role, he created Ridiculousness, yet another big hit television show, followed by hits like Nickelodeon's Mega Life & Crashletes and CMT's The Dude Perfect Show. Using this expertise gained developing the intersection between business and media, he went on to not only invest in new businesses, but also help successfully amplify their brand. With his extensive knowledge, experience and insight gained over two decades of building his own intellectual properties and working with top brands around the world, he started developing the groundwork for his full-service venture studio, Dyrdek Machine. The Dyrdek Machine represents not only the financial investment of Rob Dyrdek, but also his passion for partnering with disruptive "Do-or-Dier®" entrepreneurs, guiding them to achieve sustainable success. Using his proven method for predictable success, Dyrdek works personally with his partners to help them realize their true passion and voice and turn it into a profitable, sustainable brand. His unquenchable desire to live life to the fullest pushed him to develop a strategy for success in life, not unlike the formula he created for his venture studio. Following his life plan for happiness, balance and love while still achieving greatness in his career, Dyrdek now enjoys a fulfilling life with his family in Beverly Hills and continues to build his dream as he had not only envisioned, but designed it.
