In This Episode You Will Learn About: The dangers of addiction The habit of habit making Seeking fulfillment Working smarter, not harder Clearing your limiting beliefs Money as a means to an end Surrounding yourself with like-minded people Resources: Learn more: michaelgdash.com Buy Chasing the High Instagram: @mdash1 Facebook: facebook.com/michael.dash1 Fast Foundations Show Notes: I'm sitting down with a friend of mine today named Michael Dash. He has an incredible story of addiction: addiction to drugs, alcohol, gambling, money, and practically every addiction you could possibly chase. But, he's now turned it into an incredible story of contribution and leading a beautiful life. We're going to talk his rock bottom, then we're going to talk about what saved him from it, and we're going to dissect all the lessons from it that apply to your life as well. During all this, we tell his story of how he went from craving millions, being addicted to money, to then no longer wanting money at all, to now realizing it's not good or bad, but a tool for him to get his message out there for those who need it. Michael has built companies, sold companies, been-there-done-that as an entrepreneur and he has tons of advice to share. In fact, he's put all of that into his new book, Chasing the High, for you to learn from. Question Highlights: Can you tell us about your history with addiction? Have you traded addictions for other, more productive addictions? Are we always trading addictions, or is it possible to be free of addiction? When did you sell your company? Tell us about your book, Chasing the High? What is money, anyway? How do I pursue this tool called money in a healthy way? Is there any fear in chasing it down again? Guest Bio: MICHAEL G. DASH is an entrepreneur, author, recovering addict, speaker, philanthropist, and thrill seeker. He founded the F.A.T.E. series (From Addict to Entrepreneur) published on Thrive Global & Medium, and rolled out a F.A.T.E. program to help entrepreneurs dealing with addiction, which he looks forward to growing.

You can reach Michael via email at [email protected] regarding partnering or other opportunities or check out his site at michaelgdash.com. Book Description To be on the frontline of entrepreneurship, you must be bold and take risks. But the need to achieve can be as addictive as drugs, with serious side effects. It can make you feel isolated, uncertain, and trapped on an emotional roller coaster ride full of euphoric highs and devastating lows. But there's a way to get back onto solid ground. An accomplished entrepreneur and recovering gambling and drug addict, Michael Dash realized his gaming obsession and his drive to succeed were two sides of the same coin. He was always "chasing the high," whether in the office, the casino or out being the life of the party. Through it all, he was able to devise strategies and routines that enabled him to refocus, reboot, and take control of his life. And his winning approach will help all leaders calm their inner chaos and find fulfillment, serenity, and purpose. A different life is possible when you stop Chasing the High...and start living.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The guidelines to follow when deciding when to give a refund Being extremely customer-service ordinary Being obligated to stand behind your return policy Having a clearly-defined refund policy Needing unbreakable boundaries Enforcing with consistency Resources: Nordstrom Customer Service Free training videos: fortheloveofmoney.com/free Money Principles Show Notes: Today, I'm weighing in on the age-old question of "Should you give a refund?" This is obviously aimed at the entrepreneurs, or anyone that provides a product or service. This episode is going to be the end-all, be-all decision-making guideline so you don't have to panic over making the call. The reason most people struggle with this is because it deals with so many triggers: self-worth, money mindset, boundaries, reputation, and many more. You immediately default to all of the negative thoughts and then you end up making decisions from a place of panic, and that never leads to good decisions. I want to share our personal set of guidelines when it comes to whether or not to give a refund. This will free you up so much!

A native of Kazakhstan, Venikov's service in the 75th Ranger Regiment was defined by stellar accomplishment rooted in small unit leadership that included three combat tours. He was named Honor Graduate and Sgt Maj. Robert Spencer Enlisted Leadership Award recipient of his U.S. Army Ranger School class. In 2006, Mikhail and his partner Sgt. 1st Class John Sheaffer won the prestigious and physically demanding Army Best Ranger Competition. After completing his Army enlistment, Venikov graduated from the Sacramento Sheriff's Academy and was hired by the San Mateo Police Department where he eventually joined the city's SWAT team. After joining the SWAT team, a chance engagement with MMA legend Urijah Faber led to Venikov's dedication to become a professional MMA fighter with Team Alpha Male.

Since its inception Ranger Road has provided opportunities for active duty and veterans to participate in a variety of high adrenaline activities such as skydiving, wakeboarding, and MMA training. The events are provided at low and no cost. "We believe that the brotherhood and camaraderie found in the military is unparalleled in the civilian world," Venikov said. "We've learned that being amongst our brothers and sisters is better than any therapy and brings out the best in us and everything we do. We are here to lead the way." Venikov is actively pursuing a partnership with the United States Special Operations Command Care Coalition. The Care Coalition serves special operations forces wounded, ill, or injured service members and their families by, through, and with government and non-government organizations such as Ranger Road.

As a business and life strategist, Paige uses energy work to remove the root reasons businesses aren't working and coming in with high-level scaling and growth strategies. I am so excited because Paige is also a human potential expert. She uses human design as a means for how we can run our businesses, and how we work and communicate best. Paige has an incredible story of breaking free from her past money mindset, shifting her subconscious stories, and how she's helping others do the same. This episode is a good one filled with breakthroughs! Question Highlights: What is human design? What do people need to know about it? Why is it that we can feel not very connected to our design? How do you tie the knot between two opposing views of energy and religion? What is the Play Method? Why is changing the money conversation so important to you? Paige Filliater was born and raised in Marion, Ohio. Both of her parents were factory workers and as a family, they went to church on a regular basis until she was 6-years-old. Although she grew up on the other side of the tracks, she credits her parents for being loving and instilling curiosity as major parts of her future success. During her childhood, her family was involved at the Historical Palace Theater in town and participated in a show every summer since she was 8-years-old. Paige attended Marion Harding High School (Ohio) and graduated in 2006. She attended Columbus State Community College and later Marion Tech, each for less than a semester, before dropping out of both. In 2014, Page created Graceful Hustle, a community of entrepreneurial women. As safe space for women looking for genuine connections, Graceful Hustle offers With weekly threads, monthly training, bi-weekly phone calls, and bi-weekly book club masterminds. Paige started the quarterly subscription Spellbox Subscription Box Service that contains deliveries of crystals and tarot cards to sustain positive vibrations. In addition, Paige's husband runs a local juice bar in their town. Her husband previously worked at a steel plant for eight years and would have never predicted owning such an enterprise. A central part of Paige's philosophy is the Golden Rule and believes that how you treat others is a reflection of how you treat yourself; we are not separate. Paige founded Paigecakes in 2013, a social media management service for businesses. After a year, Paige expanded her company to be a creative and digital marketing agency that helps businesses for everything ranging from paid traffic funnels to strategic social media targeting. Paige began to narrowly focus the company more in 2015 to specialize in increasing revenue for online businesses. Currently as a business and life strategist, Paige uses energy work to remove the root reasons businesses aren't working and coming in with high-level scaling and growth strategies. Through her strategy and online marketing, Paige's business alone made six figures in six months and $380,000 in two years while helping her clients generate revenue in the multi-million dollar range. With her primary goal being sales and POI, Paige's method of successful outcomes for her clients all comes down to low lead costs and high opt in conversion rates.
