[01:12] When Taryn was 17 years old, she drove across the US to audition for American Idol. She was on the show for a couple of months and competed in the finals. She forgot all of her lyrics on a national TV. She was determined that she would never perform in front of the camera again.
[01:49] Went to college and studied Anthropology, instead of performing arts.
[05:32] After college, went back to LA to host a pilot for Discovery Channel that led her to pursue jobs in the entertainment industry.
[05:43] She was also a writer, producer, and digital media personality/YouTuber.
[08:24] Movements that have taken over Hollywood and other industries
[08:45] Taryn: I think I would have a very different perception as to how to go about this industry and perceiving my own power.
[11:45] Humans are complicated, and a lot of us have made mistakes. Figure out how to move through these situations and come out being transparent and being more accepting and open minded so we don’t leave things happening in the darkness.
[12:015] We just needed to be mad. Kill the monster while it's small, and don’t wait until it’s hurting other people.
[16:27] Started more and more YouTube videos around 2012, and it became clear that she can make it for a living doing that. She quit everything else around 2014.
[16:47] She also worked for a lot of companies to produce digital content for them, help them with their digital media strategy, get influencers into their videos. It was interesting and fun, but she realized that around 2016 she was burnt out.
[17:55] She was burnt out, and she thought that this was not self-sustainable.
[18:17] She was dis-empowered by the algorithms.
[19:16] She started getting excited about AR VR Communities. She learned how to make VR Content, 360 and animated content.
[20:06] Started playing around with AI and released a couple of singles that she composed using AI programs: IBM Watson and Amper, Google Magenta, Iva.
[20:31] How AI changed the process: It depends on the AI platform and what it is build to do by different software engineers. The process really is not that different from working with a human collaborator; it just depends on the skill sets that your other collaborators bring to the table.
[25:26] Humans are so biased and myopic in our thinking. In some ways, she thinks AI will going to be a big eye opener for us.
[25:56] Project that was upturned by the latest event: It’s a documentary that explores what it means to be human by following scientists.
[27:35] She thinks we are moving to this era of self-directed evolution, where we can pick anything basically with synthetic biology, and with AI we can create anything we want outside of ourselves.
[29:24] Crypto: Started a group with two other girl friends called Ladies of Crypto, a Facebook group.
[36:19] Artist are supported through advertisers, and she thinks that's destroying the art.
[38:03] Exciting things learned in the last year: She can’t believe how fast everything is moving with technology. Implications of this in our society are so huge.
[43:00] Taryn: I wish everyone knew that there is no one path to success. Being curious and flexible on your thinking and way of being is probably one of the greatest tool that you can have in your token right now.

[01:25] Grounding story: When she was 16, she was already applying for every scholarships that she could find because her parents did not have the money to send her to college. She applied for a scholarship from a tobacco company, and she got it. She got $10,000 in the mail.
[01:52] She felt weird about using money from big Tobacco to go to college.
[02:27] She was 17 she went to Ghana.
[02:31] She graduated from school early and worked in a school for blind kids. She lived in a village where people made a $1.50 a day on average.
[02:41] She saw poverty upclose for the first time, and she was shocked by the fact that so many really talented people, who could read and write in English, just didn’t have job opportunities.
[03:23] We think that we are gonna save these poor starving people by giving them aide, but what they really need is work.
[03:48] She decided to make it her mission to give work to the low income people to help them move out of poverty.
[03:54] The most ethical kind of relationship we can have with someone with a different background is through some kind of mutually beneficial interaction and that what trade really is. Specially for paying people fair wages and work trading unfair terms, that’s what her work is all about.
[04:22] Now, the largest data services in East Africa, they employ nearly 2,000 full-time people, and they became profitable last year as a non-profit social enterprise.
[04:38] They started with grants and donations but were able to fund their own operations through business revenue.
[04:46] The most remarkable thing is they moved people permanently out of poverty.
[05:00] They now make $8 a day, a better income, and it’s like moving to a middle income.
[05:07] Strong poverty reduction. Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. They don’t just give men and women fish for a day. They are teaching them how to fish and showing them the path from fishing to a digital economy.
[05:47] The mission of LXMI is similar--to give work to the supply chain, but instead of doing it through data services, they are doing it through sourcing rare ingredients from low income places through a supply chain to benefit women. They harvest their raw ingredients from Northern Uganda through women's cooperatives.
[12:08] Now she has amazing team of people who are really good at stuff where she is terrible at. They make each other better.
[12:55] You cannot have full control over everything, every single detail. You have to empower people and let them occasionally make mistakes for them to take full ownership.
[15:32] She got really sick and went through operations. It was a wakeup call for her.
[18:19] Changed lifestyle: More aware of what a gift good health is. Grateful everyday that Im not waking up in a hospital. I am more a little less impatient, a part of it that me to that situation is chronic stress and always impatient. I’m always feeling that not hitting objectives for myself, we are not moving fast enough. That constant stress is really bad for immune system, body and causes aging.
[21:05] Most people overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in ten.
[24:19] If you want to help these people who are born in poverty or less material wealth than we do, the best way to help them is to view them as producers, as equals on a level field and buy from them.
[24:22] If you care about women in the developing world, and if you care about violence against women, then buy from women. Don’t patronize them by just giving them a hand out.

[01:04] Tommy grew up in South America.
[01:34] Growing up, he knew early on that the traditional route for working for somebody else was not for him.
[01:37] He started an eBay business when was super young.
[01:47] For the fitness and gym industry, where he is right now, he is looking for problems through different angles.
[02:07] Not fitting in was actually gift for him. Because it allowed him to be creative and fall in love looking back in the mirror, falling in love with yourself.
[05:42] Tommy: He started helping people extract personal power and clarity.
[06:20] Once they have the clarity, allow them the space to create a bold vision that moves them emotionally.
[11:40] Growth happens in an intersection of support and challenge.
[12:07] There are a lot of lessons that we can learn that are right in front of us. We don’t have to go somewhere; we can just open our eyes a little bit more.
[14:22] If you don't address the physical, it will be become very hard to address the higher states.
[14:30] Tommy shared about his Spiritual Fitness Practice. It does involve a few moving parts, but it allows him to achieve the highest emotional state as possible, with a minimum amount of work. It’s called Spiritual Fitness. Involves 5 emotional components, you have to be warmed up.
[17:24] Tommy: Once you're already in the peak state, you have to protect it. We give our energy to stimulus, distraction, or maybe to social media, etc.
[29:09] Is your environment pulling you toward the powerful vision and the feelings that you want to feel, or is it holding you back and reminding who you’ve been or where you’ve been?
[29:25] Your vibration really does attracts everything in your life.
[35:51] People want authenticity that creates connection, creates a powerful support system.
[37:38] It’s never gonna be perfect, but we can collapse the time that we’re going down the wrong road and pull toward where we want to go.
[39:10] Ready means you are open. Ready means surrender.
[44:04] Tommy: I want to help people place their self-esteem in their identity around the daily process, not the outcome. Because when we do that, we live a fulfilled life.

[01:02] Sean grew up as an immigrant. Born in Korea and came to Canada when was about 7 years old. He understands the loneliness that you feel when you are in place like a foreign country and you can’t communicate to anyone.
[01:26] Sean: Surrounding yourself with people who speak multiple languages and come from multiple cultures is the key to break down barriers in world today.
[06:19] Sean talked about how they started. They early days were just grinding it out in the first year and a half. They started with a blog. Before they came up with the idea, they knew they wanted to be in the language space because of the open market.
[08:15] They didn’t have capital or an angel investor. It was 100% customer funded. They really had to hustle and push out value, and it eventually paid off for them.
[10:28] Sean: Knowledge definitely not a problem. It’s simply a lack of discipline, focus, and guidance to fall on a path that is oftentimes going to be a little bit longer than you originally thought.
[12:44] Brad: If you have an engine that's fueled by money, the more money you put in here, the more money that comes out over here.
[20:53] Seans’ journey and failures: Biggest thing that people can relate to, when he started first business they raised capital and last year in university. He dropped out to full time on the business.
[23:51] He was also rejected from US Border after first fulling his business, get a job in New York where he was denied a visa and sent home.
[24:11] In Toronto, about month and half, he was homeless. Lived in hostel for first week and slept on a friend’s couch.
[24:27] His original goal in Argentina was just to stay there for three months and go back to Toronto.
[25:36] The idea of Rype started when he was working, and he was making decent money in Colombia. He realized that he has been on this trip 8 months and did not know Spanish.
[25:41] This is where the idea to help busy people learn effectively in an affordable way came through.
[27:45] Eventually they started creating 4 figures a month, then 5 figures a month, and just started growing and growing from there.
[28:17] Biggest challenges along the way being a one man team.
[32:50] What’s next for Sean: The vision and mission is to continue to grow. The high level of mission is help people that are busy, that are impacting world improve. Next move is shifting into a different industry. Initially they want to help people with languages, but eventually they are going to help people learn faster by reading books faster, optimize health, mental mindsets.

[03:21] Jared clarified that he loves being able to solve problems, provide solutions, fight on behalf of his clients.
[04:47] Jared: The key is being genuine. Have a genuine heart to serve people, help people, and to help them create a better future and a better life.
[05:54] Jared’s Philosophy: We have to change our perceptual location.
[08:17] Jared: The thing that I found to be the most powerful experience was watching individual people transform inside my organizations.
[08:30] Jared: I left one industry to get into another to make a bigger impact. I had to continue moving down that path to reach more people and to teach more people.
[09:07] Jared: Amazing things happen when you get clear internally about what impact I’m trying to make and what massage I’m putting out there, how am I reaching folks.
[12:24] How are other industries moving this kind of direction where they can talk about the future as if it's a far of place, but it’s also right here now. How do we align future vision reality right now so this organization can actually win based on what already is true about humans, what they already want, and how to get aligned with that?
[17:55] People need to be told that it is okay not to have the answers right now, and they don't have to go to one extreme with another.
[19:20] Give yourself permission to go places that seem impossible.
[22:15] If you you keep focusing on your fear, you cannot take action toward anything.

[19:47] For many people it is necessary to move away from their environment to be able to recreate themselves
[21:27] He needed to leave Ireland to really give himself freedom to reinvent himself
[22:53] Failure is not encouraged in the USA, but it’s accepted in a way that it is not anywhere else in the planet.
[23:43] America is a place of possibility. The fact that anyone can become president is not a negative, it’s a positive.

[02:52] He was in college when he started to think about starting a business. He just didn’t know what.

[01:41] Drew chased the wrong things for most of his youth.
[04:52] Failures set up challenges. As you face challenge after challenge, each successive one does not seem so scary.
[05:22] There is something powerful about the scars that you carry around because you can look at them and remind yourself you’ve beaten every challenge.
[06:10] He managed to have this kind of exciting ride that brought him to a place where he could be happy with his life and career.
[12:13] When you don't know what to do in a business situation, ask yourself: what would the other person want me to be during this situation?
[17:38] Money is not an indication that you are doing things right.
[18:34] If you make bad choices, do not panic. You have plenty of time to make a bunch of good ones.
[27:20] Happiness is not possible without forgiveness. Most of your life, the number one thing you can do that will instantly make your life better is to forgive.
[28:35] Leaders don’t care about winning; they care about succeeding. The only way to succeed is to let go of the idea of winning, and not forgiving is always about winning.
[32:30] Leadership comes from consistency above anything else. A lot of things we chase in goals are byproducts of our daily behaviors.
[36:30] Compounding is the biggest and powerful force in the universe.
[49:56] Leadership removes fear to help people succeed and politics adds fear to win.

[27:21] Terri shared about ICO
[31:43] Angel Investing is a part-time gig. She’s actually doing consulting and expert witness work to fund the investing habit.
[32:15] The fastest way to pay the wealth is to add more value to people and therefore increase your income. Increase something in value and sell it; increase your income above your cost. Use additional money that you care about.
[33:29] We don’t have to live in place of scarcity. There is enough to go around. The more you share, the more you give away and the more it comes back it to you.
