Hunter's Story: From a young age I knew that opportunity was abundant & I was able to control my income if I had the work ethic. At 6 I was catching lizards & trying to sell them on a dead end road. When I was 8 I started digging through old dumps in the mountains of SC to take antiques to the Flea Market. Through Middle School I hustled candy from my book bag. Then life got a bit more tough, for me. Before diving in I want to be clear that life's all about perspective. My "tough" may be your "easy" or another man's "devastation." By no means am I complaining. I'm thankful for my trials as it's made me the man I am today. I truly believe life happens FOR you & not TO you. At the end of middle school my family life took a turn from unhealthy household but all living together to everyone going separate ways. My parents were both unemployed and turned to a life that didn't involve us. I went to one grandparents' house & my two younger brothers went to another. From here, I was a decent but stubborn teen who was ready to finish school & create a life for myself. TRHS Class of 2009: 189 out of 212 Yep, #189. I finished ahead of only 23 kids in my class. I graduated thanks to the grace of my 12th Grade English teach, Mrs. Looper. All I cared about was graduating & joining the Marine Corp. I did. September 11th, 2009 rolled around & I graduated from Parris Island as a United States Marine 8 years to the day that made me decide to join the Marine Corps, 9/11/01. I then moved further into public service where I spend 5 years as a Full Time Firefighter & EMT. As most of you know life as a public servant doesn't come with much income. At just over 30k in salary I spend my days off working on side businesses where I made more than my full time job. This quickly turned into a passion. I realized that money is not just some material thing I can put in the bank account. It's a tool I can use to serve others. In December 2015 I made my jump from the "safety" of my full time job at the Fire Department & went full time as an entrepreneur. My Chief said, "Are you sure you know what you are doing?" Another friends said, "You'll be back at a regular job within a year." As if I needed any extra motivation. I dove deep into brand, marketing, relationships & leadership from the start. Within a couple years I had multiple businesses creating over 5 Million in revenue annually. Beyond this & what I'm most proud of. I was able to build one of the best teams around & help dozens of other entrepreneurs build their dream life. I've helped people go from zero to their first 10k month & I've been there to help established companies add millions in revenue in less than 12 months. When I left the Fire Department I questioned if I would be as fulfilled as I was when I was helping a patient on a wreck. I can confirm. Helping entrepreneurs reach their goals fills my heart just as much or more. I'm here to help. Always. Just reach out. Episode Highlights: Hunter and Travis discuss Hunter's time as a Marine and Firefighter. Learn the reason that Hunter left the security of his job as a firefighter. Discover the importance of surrounding yourself with good people. 3 Key Points: Stretch your mind, push your body, and grow your legacy. Don’t let fear of failure prevent you from taking action. You’re not going to find great success without sacrifice. Tweetable Quotes: "As you continue to level up in business and life, you’re going to outgrow a lot of your friends." "You could provide your course to somebody, but if they aren’t willing to work then it doesn’t matter."

Talk to people that Chris Krimitsos has spent any amount of time with and you’ll hear descriptions like “changemaker,” “motivator,” “catalyst for change,” and “inspiration.” Whether it’s a major corporation’s CEO or a solopreneur, Chris is passionate about being a difference maker. Unlike the featured guest who comes in and delivers a keynote and leaves, slipping out the back door like a national celebrity, Chris Krimitsos is the passionate professional who hangs around talking to anyone who wants his time – to listen, evaluate, and affect change. Chris brings the unique perspective of success from both sides of an event. He understands the challenges of the organizer that needs to move an audience, having himself facilitated over 2,000 events that have brought together business owners, toward economic growth, under the umbrella of Tampa Bay Business Owners, which he founded in 2008. That success regionally was the springboard to launching a national event, Podfest Multimedia Expo, which he grew to over 975 attendees in just five years, with an expectation of 1,500-plus in year six, thanks to his ability to communicate key messaging to that community. Channeling that energy into creating a documentary, now he is making an impact globally. Under the CK Productions banner, as a filmmaker and producer, Chris successfully birthed The Messengers: A Podcast Documentary, which obtained worldwide distribution and theatrical screenings. This after having hosted and produced two TV shows earlier in his career. Of note was one of those projects being archived in the Library of Congress. With a unique skill set programmed to stay out in front of rapid change, Chris Krimitsos – as a speaker, as a business leader, and as a source for growth – is empowering audiences toward better opportunities for succeeding in business in the 21st century. Episode Highlights: Chris shares some of the "cardinal sins" of event planning. Discover one of the biggest traps that promoters can fall into. Learn how to create clear guidelines for volunteers that will result in a positive experience for your guests. Hear some of the coolest stories that have happened during previous Podfest events. 3 Key Points: You don’t ever want to over set-up the room. Be honest about your event. Don’t embellish or lie. Have a clearly defined culture for volunteers Tweetable Quotes: Whatever you can do, that’s the target. – Travis Chappell Always frame everything in the positive, but don’t be delusional about it. – Chris Krimitsos The only thing that unifies everyone [at Podfest] is the medium. – Travis Chappell I want to make sure all of our attendees have an amazing experience so they can achieve great things. – Chris Krimitsos You have to back up your promises, that builds your integrity over time and that builds your reputation. – Chris Krimitsos My number one core value is community and liking the people around me. – Chris Krimitsos Resources Mentioned: http://Podfestexpo.com (Podfestexpo.com) (Use the promo code “travis” for $100 off your admission.)

Brad Lea, founder and CEO of LightSpeed VT, Dan Fleyshman, youngest founder of a publicly traded company in history, and Bedros Keulian, owner of one of the fastest gym franchises in the world, give advice to help you build a foundation for success. Episode Highlights: Dan Fleyshman People who are mad at the 1% are insane. It’s never been easier to make money – dropshipping, rental properties, etc. The more money you have to work with, it can then replicate and grow. If you upgrade your lifestyle instead of investing, you lose a big investment opportunity. He’s a big proponent of the side hustle and it’s the best time in history to do it. People don’t need as much money anymore to get started. What holds people back from being an entrepreneur? Fear and themselves. Brad Lea "Who" and "what" you know are equally important. If you don’t know the what, it doesn’t matter who you know. If you know everything but you don’t know anybody, then the what you know doesn’t really matter. It’s 50/50 The cliché answer is the “who,” but you need the what. You need to have a pitch, a value proposition, and know your product, otherwise you’re over-valuing relationships. If you already have a good solid “what,” focus on the “who.” Bedros Keulian If you want to move ahead in life you have to “man up” and get out of your comfort zone. Take control of your situation as a human whether you’re woman or a man. Because he hadn’t grown as a leader, his leadership ability became the lid of his success. In 2014 he had a massive anxiety attack that he thought was a heart attack. In 2015 he got a therapist, and he taught him that he was living in anticipation of future pain. He had to man up and have a difficult conversation with his business partner. A therapist will roleplay with you and teach you how to communicate. He had an unhealthy relationship with money, that it was unattainable. For affluent people, money is a means to impact. The number one thing that people can do to change perspective is to get a mentor who is already leading the life that they want and be open-minded. His original mentor turned him on to virtual mentors. Cut out the mediocre people from around you. If you want to have a successful life, you have to be willing to take risks and live in the extreme. Proximity is power. Environmental exposure is important, you start to pick up on their habits. Get around people who are on a different level, and then keep leveling up. Tweetable Quotes: “Who you know is very important, but you better have your what down." – Brad Lea "Just. Get. Started." – Dan Fleyshman "If I want to do the inner work, I have to man up and face the demons." – Bedros Keulian Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (freemmcourse.com/enroll) Download the Himalaya App in the https://apps.apple.com/us/app/podcast-audio-player-himalaya/id1275493456 (App Store) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ximalaya.ting.himalaya&hl=en_US (Google Play) Get more free content from Travis at http://threenetworkingsecrets.com/ (threenetworkingsecrets.com) For information regarding your data privacy, visit https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Siloh Moses, a social entrepreneur, Jairek Robbins, motivational speaker, and PJ Dixon, life coach, share about the importance of kindness. Episode Highlights: Siloh Moses He went homeless for seven months squatting in buildings. He met someone who believed in him and was a helping hand. He never did anything for him, he just motivated him to do it himself. Just being around this guy for 2-3 weeks he started to look at things differently in the world. He began to formulate and follow a plan. Within a month and a half of talking to this guy every day, he found a job and wasn’t homeless anymore. He started going and out serving and giving back in the community. He’s had business owners who have been around for 8-10 years coming to him for advice. They’ve had success because he thinks of his non-profit as a business, he’s never seen it as a non-profit. Jairek Robbins Sees travel as important to personal transformation. Anyone can travel – even if it's a few blocks away. Get out of your space and help others. Money will not fulfill you. He shares three declarations everyone should tell themselves. We've been trained by society that we need more. PJ Dixon Don’t quit, identify what you truly want to do, living your goals with passion – people become drawn to you because it inspires them to do the same Letting people know that they matter P. J. has advised people to reach out more than once if he doesn’t respond right away The need to be genuine at events and connect – not “what can I get out of this” mentality Who you know vs. What you know: P. J. says it depends on the end result Meet people where they are at/speak their language before raising the bar of expectations Integrity – live your truth, not speaking badly about people, live who you want to be and your mind becomes more still Tweetable Quotes: "My mentor never did anything for me, he just motivated me to do it myself." – Siloh Moses "Sometimes it takes everything literally being burned to the ground to show us what's really important." – Jairek Robbins “When you let somebody know that they matter, there is nothing that they won’t do for you.” – P.

Calvin Wayman, author of Fish Out of Water, Annette Raynor, co-founder of Wealth Engineering LLC, and Edwin Arroyave, CEO of Skyline Security Management Incorporated, share with your host, Travis Chappell, their thoughts on "connecting with legends." Episode Highlights: Calvin Wayman Masterminds have been the fastest shortcut to his success in business and networking. Annette Raynor Annette started her career in 1983 with Xerox Corporation in emerging technologies. As a female in the technology field in 1983, she was in a male dominated field. She worked with the Palo Alto research center of Xerox to help the scientists there bring the technologies they were creating to the salesforce. This experience was invaluable in applying technology. She supported fortune 50 companies in solving their largest technology problems. The adoption of technology in the financial sector was practically non-existent. Applying the power of technology to the financial sector to support the common individual is totally overlooked. Her career was filled with great success and great loss that led her to her passion. She created Wealth Generators to share her experience with other entrepreneurs. Edwin Arroyave More excited now than when he first started the company in 1999. The first 10 years he wasn’t sold on the security sales industry, he did it because the money was great. Early on they started doing 200-250 accounts a month, he trained one guy at a time. He started investing back into the organization and brought in a CFO. He then went from six office employees to 50. He then left the field and focused on the operations. Made less money for a few years. Then they started growing. Even though he took himself out of the field, he’s still very involved with the sales guys. He’s an accessible owner and likes to be well-informed. His investment in his company forced him to be committed to the organization. Keep yourself accountable by forcing yourself to take action on a bigger level. Tweetable Quotes: “Mastermind relationships compound and benefit you year over year."- Calvin Wayman "The most important things in life are really not associated with the actual money. It's a resource. It's the satisfaction and application of the resource toward things that create a better environment for people." – Annette Raynor "Results give you the confidence." – Edwin Arroyave Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (freemmcourse.com/enroll) Download the Himalaya App in the https://apps.apple.com/us/app/podcast-audio-player-himalaya/id1275493456 (App Store) or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ximalaya.ting.himalaya&hl=en_US (Google Play) Get more free content from Travis at http://threenetworkingsecrets.com/ (threenetworkingsecrets.com) For information regarding your data privacy, visit https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Jeff Brown, award-nominated podcaster, consultant and speaker; Jordan Harbinger, Wall Street Lawyer turned talk show host, social dynamics expert, and entrepreneur; and Brandon Turner, active real estate investor and co-host of the Bigger Pockets Podcast share with your host, Travis Chappell, how to run a successful podcast. Episode Highlights: Jeff Brown Why Jeff believes in developing relationships for their own sake The value of being a proponent of other people’s work and being intentional, consistent and altruistic in your promotion of it Jordan Harbinger Did another show called The Art of Charm for 11 years. Most of the team came with him when he moved to the Jordan Harbinger show. If he’d stayed with the old brand he would have been lazily plodding along. Watched around 300 Larry King interviews to see what he did and did not like 900-1500 edits in the show to cut out any flubs, tangents, unnecessary promotions, jokes that don’t land, etc. A minute of a listener’s time is worth a lot to a listener. Used to be an attorney, he considers himself an advocate for the listener. It’s not about the guest, it’s about what the guest can teach the listener.? Spends an average of 6-10 hours researching a guest, sometimes 12. Brandon Turner Bigger Pockets chad a bigger launch than most because of the community they had already built. 90% of podcasters don’t make it past episode 7. They teach education for free and sell it on software. You need to follow the LAPS model – Leads, Analyze, Pursue, Success.
