[3:16] He’s made a lot of mistakes along the way.

[3:54] What he would do differently if he were to start over

[4:21] Used to do door-to-door sales. Hated it, but he considers it the best job he’s had.

[7:19] He’s in the game of rejection.

[7:49] He keeps all the rejection letters.

[12:24] Listen to what their needs are and give them that content.

[14:59] People first pay with their attention, then their time, and then their money.

[17:51] He doesn’t see problems. He studies mission statements, packaging, who’s buying, reviews, etc. and then he finds something he’s interested in and asks himself, "What is next?"

[20:04] He makes a slight variation of items that are already selling.

[26:34] He took an art class. He wasn’t very good at it, but he loved it. He thought that if he could do it for a living, he could spend a lifetime doing so.

[27:34] If you like what you do, it’s not work.

[28:30] A lot of people are afraid to show their ideas because they think they will be stolen, but he doesn’t believe it happens that often.

[38:03] It is hard to manage yourself with all the distractions.

[3:31] They [him & wife] pooled money together to buy their first investment property.

[3:57] Sold 100 houses in their first year of business.  

[5:17] People started asking them to be speakers. They built momentum and got into coaching

[7:41] They’ve always made decisions based on profit.

[8:03] Rich: When your money works for you / when you don’t have to work for your money

[8:35] They don’t take debt because they’ve never seen a person with no debt go bankrupt.

[10:42] When the market changed [2007], they pivoted and started teaching agents how to go after the distressed market.

[14:12] Rule: Don’t follow your passion. Your passion will betray you.

[17:12] Passion is an emotion tied to ego.  

[17:35] People who follow their passion only work/achieve at a high level when they feel a certain way about something.

[19:58] Doing what you don’t want to do, when you don’t want to do it, at the highest level

[25:34] When you’re trying to help someone, your ego can’t be the loudest voice.

[28:10] Ego = fear

[28:18] There’s two types of fear: (1) psychological and (2) physical

[29:46] Psychological fear = ego fear

[31:59] Psychological fear is optional.

[37:32] Most people go into business because they want to have a sense of freedom.

[39:35] You have to have product as your profit.

[40:14] If you don’t have profit as your main driver, you won’t have any (unless it’s a social venture).

[45:11] Why is actual profit a taboo topic?

Three key points:

  1. Doing what you don’t want to do, when you don’t want to do it, at the highest level
  2. When you’re trying to help someone, your ego can’t be the loudest voice.
  3. If you don’t have profit as your main driver, you won’t have any (unless it’s a social venture

[00:43] Failures that made him who he is today | Dropped out of college

[1:52] A couple of the businesses he started were started with $200 each. One he had to shut down, and one he had to sell. He got a better business education than he would have in college.

[2:52] You want to have small, steady failures that course correct instead of one catastrophic failure that wipes you out . 

[4:12] Time your IPO perfectly.

[4:31] Domesticate our failures so that they recur often, frequently, and smaller so they become ways for us to learn.

[6:36] People have a better chance to participate. Things are getting better.

[7:09] This is the best time to make things happen. There’s never been as many tools, as much money, as much knowledge.

[7:36] The future will be even better.

[9:05] The biggest AI companies today are sitting on a lot of data.

[11:20] There’s two kinds of people looking at the future: those who have to see it to believe it and those who believe it in order to make it real.

[13:33] Not everything that is strange, wonderful, or wild is going to become true.

[14:53] Doing, not thinking, is the solution to all the problems in the world.

[16:13] Kevin believes AI will become a commodity like electricity.

[21:14] One of the ways in which our economic infrastructure will shift is in the invention of new institutional forms.  

[22:31] There will be a increase in scale [economics].

[25:25] We need to have tolerance for natural monopolies (like Facebook).

[27:50] We’re constantly inventing ways to have a winner take all, new verticals. There is an infinite amount of verticals.

[28:35] His most unpopular idea that he believes is ‘the thing’: anonymity in the internet is a bad thing.

[29:35] He believes ending anonymity on the internet would end bullying, harassment, etc.

[30:05] Anonymity is like sales. In small amounts, it is harmless, but in large amounts, it is toxic.

[36:26] He believes a world government is necessary at this time (taxes, police, leadership, tackling problems at the global level).

Three key points:

  1. You want to have small, steady failures that course correct instead of one catastrophic failure that wipes you out.  
  2. This is the best time to make things happen. There’s never been as many tools, as much money, as much knowledge.
  3. Anonymity is like sales. In small amounts, it is harmless, but in large amounts, it is toxic.

[0:49] About Skymind - Artificial Intelligence company, bringing AI out of the lab and into the real world

[2:00] People should know: AI is just math and code, not magic.

[4:05] The thing AI and capitalism have in common: they are accelerants.

[6:34] AI will introduce us to more environments to try and serve our needs better.

[9:16] Consistency can move mountains and carve rivers and mountains.

[10:49] As chips get more powerful, AI can get powerful.

[12:43] What is quantum computer?

[15:25] What would quantum supremacy achieve?

[18:34] We need to gather data on what type of art causes each emotion so that then we can produce meaningful art.

[19:24] He believes we can create really strong AI, which might be stronger than us.

[22:13] We program AI’s values. They learn from what we teach them.

[24:25] Collaboration is the way we win.

[25:50] Sarcasm kills intimacy.

[27:06 ] He was born in Montana - a very rural state. He realized that there’s a big world out there that has to be explored.

[27:31] He felt like he had to leave Montana to grow economically and mentally.

[28:07] The great divide is urban vs. rural (especially in the USA now).

[28:39] He worked as a journalist for 10 years.

[29:08] Paris is no longer welcoming to artists. Now it’s very bourgeois.

[30:00] He learned to code in the evenings while being a journalist. And then he went to work for a company where he met his co-founder.

[31:19] He never thought he would be the head of a company. He had to grow into it.

[31:43]  Being the head of a company is a big moral project: to give people a place they can work, where they have a supportive work environment, and make sure everyone is communicating well.

[32:20] Leadership lesson he’s learned: communicate more - get in contact and listen.

[33:25] They (at Skymind) communicate asynchronously.  

[33:43] They (at Skymind) use Basecamp.

[33:52] They (at Skymind) schedule weekly calls.

[34:02] Live conversation is better than an email. Make an effort to get on the phone.

[36:27] Skymind is working toward profitability. They just had their first $1M year.

[41:13] AI starts with the collection of data and it has to be aligned with the outcomes you want to predict.

[42:25] What he wishes to leave the world as his legacy/words of wisdom: for people to follow their nose when finding what their passion is and what they want to create

Three key points:

  1. People should know: AI is just math and code, not magic.
  2. Leadership lesson he’s learned: communicate more - get in contact and listen.
  3. Live conversation is better than an email. Make an effort to get on the phone.

[0:25] About Jayson: his book (Mastermind Dinners) and his events (Mastermind Talks)

[1:57] He grew his business to $7M a year for over 4 years without outside investment.

[2:06] He was pursuing the 4-hour work week, started to question to his life, and decided to sell his business.

[4:29] He started having mastermind dinners.

[5:06] He didn’t begin charging for the dinners. He was paying for them out of pocket.

[5:29] Had an opportunity to do a dinner with Tim Ferriss

[8:28] “Ignorance, confidence, and hard work can go a long way.”

[8:45] After his first event was a success, he decided to do another one, and he continued doing more.

[10:06] After meeting Tim Ferriss, Brad had the opportunity to go to Africa with Tim.

[12:13] Tim Ferris has had an incredible impact on entrepreneurs.

[13:30] He initially wanted to be like a Ted Talk but for entrepreneurs.

[15:10] Essence of Mastermind Talks: great people, great food, great experiences

[16:28] How he keeps the community growing all year long

[18:03] The biggest shift he’s had in terms of business

[19:48] He scales by raising the price point and the caliber of people attending.

[21:48] The selection process is the hardest thing. There is a process for vetting.

[22:50] His goal is to build the best peer group for 7- and 8-figure entrepreneurs.

[24:04] How he manages all his relationships

[26:58] He has a desire to go deeper with his relationships. It's not about meeting more people.

[28:50] The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say "No" to almost everything.

[29:24] Connecting with connectors

[30:52] How he recharges  

[32:58] How he keeps the family unit going | How his family supports him

[33:37] He makes travel about family, even when its about work. His wife is also involved in the business.

[35:29] Entrepreneurs need to realize that they can combine family, work, and wellness creatively. Don’t let it fall by the wayside.  

[37:12] The importance of rapport  

[38:48] His podcast is divided into seasons, and every season is themes. It makes it easier to commit to a season rather than be stuck in a content creation hamster wheel.

[40:48] How he gives back

[41:21] He has a “biggest fan budget,” not a marketing budget.

[41:40] If you want to care about somebody, care about what they care about or who they care about.

[45:41] "There is more to life than increasing its speed." - Ghandi

[45:56] We’re always measuring up and comparing our lives to what we see on Instagam.

Three key points:

  1. He scales by raising the price point and the caliber of people attending rather than increasing the size and amount of talks.
  2. Go deeper with your relationships. It's not about meeting more people.
  3. Entrepreneurs need to realize that they can combine family, work, and wellness creatively. Don’t let it fall by the wayside.

[1:26] His journey | Started when his mother bought him two books

[4:15] Change in the algorithms wiped out his SEO rankings and that eliminated his income.

[5:26] He created the Entrepreneur House to get entrepreneurs together to grow their businesses and travel.

[7:00] What business means to him and how he sees it change it in the future

[7:12] Business is an opportunity to control your personal growth and create your lifestyle without having to be controlled by other people and finances.  

[10:41] What can you rely on as an entrepreneur to stay constant?

[14:07] Top people he follows and a questions he would ask them

[18:30] What he [Richard] has learned about creation vs promotion

[18:49] He started podcasting without researching how to get it ranked on iTunes or how to get reviews. He focused on content.

[20:22] Be adaptable as much as possible. Flow like water, because things are always going to change.

[21:54] How does he find people who are aligned with his vision and incentivizes them?

[23:09] If you think it’s the right person and they’re not willing to be on the same page as you, then they’re probably not the right person.  

[23:40] Things happen naturally, and the right people will come at the right time.  

[25:17] Sometimes being too close to the process forbids you from doing things right.

[28:28] Let people do their job.  

[29:36] Lesson he forgot and had to re-learn | Lesson he learned years ago

[29:55] “This problem will pass.”

[34:28] Find out what you truly desire in life and go after that.

Three key points:

  1. Business is an opportunity to control your personal growth and create your lifestyle without having to be controlled by other people and finances.
  2. If you think it’s the right person and they’re not willing to be on the same page as you, then they’re probably not the right person.  
  3. Always keep in mind: “This problem will pass.”

[1:55] She started her podcast because she knew so many genius businesswomen and she just wanted a space where they could be found and highlighted.

[3:24] She was the operator/co-owner of a company someone else founded.

[4:19] She didn’t grow up in an entrepreneurial family. Her family was blue-collar.

[6:25] Entrepreneurship is like an upward spiraling staircase.

[7:17] It’s good to goal set, but what do you have to do to evolve into the woman that deserves to achieve those goals?

[9:38] She followed her curiosity with her podcast, and it became an entire business for her.

[10:23] She wants to help women lead a purposeful, profitable life through entrepreneurship.

[13:29] If you’re doing something you don’t love doing and it doesn’t make you money, outsource it.

[17:41] If you ask the right questions, clarity can come quickly.

[22:25] Business start out because you want a better a life, but eventually it becomes a means of value transfer (giving to get).

[23:35] One of her money stories was: it’s very hard to make money.

[24:53] Make enough marbles so that everyone can have food, water, and shelter. When the basics are covered, what does it look like when everyone can be creative without thinking about the basics?

[26:53] She wants to help women so that they don’t worry about the basics.

[27:18] The more women entrepreneurs who are abundant and giving to the world, out of the stress, the more the world benefits from the giving.

[28:26] She reorganized her finances and created a ‘giving bucket.’

[29:05] Once a month or once a quarter, she looks around her and sees where she can donate her ‘giving bucket.’

[31:33] If you’re in a moment where you can’t figure out how you’re going to make rent or cover basic needs, take $2 and given them away.

[36:05] Conversations about love, spiritual, business are so much more prevalent and accepted than they were 5-10 years ago.

Three key points:

  1. Entrepreneurship is like an upward spiraling staircase.
  2. If you’re doing something you don’t love doing and it doesn’t make you money, outsource it.
  3. If you’re in a moment where you can’t figure out how you’re going to make rent or cover basic needs, take $2 and given them away.

[1:43] Live with abandon instead of dying with regret.

[1:52] What Project Fuel does - share stories and fuel people to reach their potential

[2:11] Project Fuel - collects life lessons from around the world (human wisdom)

[2:55] Deepak’s life journey

[3:02] His journey started with his mother, who was pulled out of school because girls in India at the time were not allowed to study.

[4:05] When he asked his mother what her education was, she answered that life taught her.

[4:41] Her experience made him believe that everyone who is living is learning something.

[5:22] As he grew, he realized that learning from other was not to avoid mistakes, but to make newer and unique mistakes and avoid the mistakes others have made.

[6:07] At 17, he was given a book deal.

[6:33] He started to design the life lessons in different ways: poems, games, etc.  

[6:54] His idea grew through word of mouth. It became a movement/organization.

[7:24] Examples of how people have been transformed

[8:02] Favorite lesson #1: wash your socks regularly.

[8:52] Favorite lesson #2: try to relate to everyone with a sense of humor.

[9:42] Business side of Project Fuel: advertising, revenue, virality, etc.  

[10:02] Project fuel grew organically.

[10:59] Primary source of revenue: workshops

[12:04] Launched Project Fuel’s online store

[13:05] Learning from “regular people” not only “gurus”

[13:52] Sex worker lesson: value your own work. The value is of the person; the work is second.

[14:23] Sex worker lesson: “Interpretation is a dangerous weapon; use it wisely.”

[16:55] Stepping into people’s shoes can be enlightening.

[18:06] Painted houses with stories from who live in the village

[19:15] Don’t judge people by how they make money.

[20:10] Ego vs. spirit

[20:20] “Man plans; God laughs.”

[20:51] “When you know better, you do better.” - Maya Angelou

[21:10] There’s different ways of telling the same story.

[22:51] Where he sees Project Fuel going | 5 year plan

[23:26] Wants to have an app or a digital tool. Is in the process of building but is in the process of finalizing.

[23:36] In the next 5-10 years, he wants Project Fuel to close. He doesn’t believe the success of the organization is when it is no longer needed, because it is part of the culture.

[25:05] “The purpose of life is not to become a star; it is to become a constellation.”

[28:08] He has no story framework. People don’t want to talk to someone who has an agenda. Listen as much as you can.

[29:52] Never ask people what their life is directly. Ask them what is the piece of advice you would give to your most loved person right now?”

[30:15] Be patient. Listen to as much as you can. Be open to vulnerability. You’re not ready to take if you’re not ready to give.

Three key points:

  1. His journey started with his mother, who was pulled out of school because girls in India at the time were not allowed to study.
  2. Sex worker lesson: “Interpretation is a dangerous weapon; use it wisely.”
  3. “The purpose of life is not to become a star; it is to become a constellation.”

[1:32] Myke is 28 years old and lives in Richmond, VA. He founded and runs a digital marketing company.

[2:03] He used to live with a scarcity mindset. He was never happy and was very negative.

[4:12] He used to be a bartender. Led an unhealthy life - getting drunk, going to bed late, sleeping until late, partying, etc.

[6:33] His biggest struggle was getting over the fact that moving forward in life or becoming a more successful, healthy, wealthy person was possible.

[6:59] His biggest struggles as an entrepreneur are: delegation, cutting out fluff, and staying focused on results.

[10:50] He came to a realization and asked himself: "What do I really want to do?"

[12:21] He decided he didn’t want to be the kind of person who is not in control of his life.

[16:11] He got a notification from his landlord saying he had 30 days to leave because the house had to be gutted.

[17:42] A friend introduced him to network marketing.

[21:17] Why does certain advice only work for some people?

[30:01] He felt like he had no other choice but to do what he was doing. He latched on to network marketing because he thought he needed to make it work.

[33:30] Trust yourself and educate yourself to make good decisions.

[36:00] You have to nail the thing that’s going to work for you based on your CROPS.

[40:34] Some of the answers are in the silly image quotes.

[43:28] He changed his life: started dating another woman, started eating healthy.

[43:55] 2016 was the year he made his first 6 figure income.

[45:35] He was working many hours a day, was exhausted, but he wasn’t doing anything he wanted.

[47:13] He partnered with Adam and founded a digital academy to teach people how to build a business on the internet.

[48:18] He decided to get an office and start building a "real" agency.

[51:40] Wealth = value x leverage

[52:42] His next step is to create processes.

[1:04:24] Stay dumb. Pick one thing, and keep doing it. Don’t get distracted by all the information out there. Just take action.
