[1:07] His journey

[6:24] Three things about health and diet that is cutting edge

[7:18] 90% of all the cells that make us are non-human

[7:27] 99% of the genetic material that are in us are not human genes

[7:43] Human genes are not numerous. The key to most things is whether a gene is turned off or on (epigenomics)

[8:02] Bacteria control much of what happens to us. We’re condominium/home to bacteria. We need to keep their ‘home’ in great shape to benefit us

[11:11] Figure out what your ‘bugs’ want to eat

[12:03] Good bugs vs bad bugs

[13:17] Feel good hormones are manufactured by bacteria

[13:32] Bad bugs send messages to the brain so we eat the foods they like → simple sugars and saturated fats

[15:44] all the bacteria are female. We were inoculated by our mothers when they gave birth to us with her set of bacteria

[18:45] Skin is a good measurement of what you’re feeding your microbium

[19:09] Raw food is a good diet, but is hard to keep up. You can spot a raw foodist by they skin → they glow

[20:48] Blood type diet

[24:17] Plants don’t want to be eaten so they’ve worked out defense systems agaist their predators

[26:12] All plants have lectins (bad) the longer we have been eating a plant, as a species, the more our bodies have become accustomed/tolerant to those lectins. E are used to eating leaves, and roots (taro, jicama, yuca, etc.)

[27:20] Grains and beans contain lectins that we’re not used to. These lectins are pretty nice. Rice is the lectin of the castor bean, a few molecules in rice will kill human beings by coagulating their blood

[28:42] Cooking and rinsing beans helps, but it doesn’t remove all the lectins

[35:43] Get a pressure cooker

[39:19] Problem with most gluten free foods is that they are sugar delivering devices

[40:24] Look for resistant starches as next go to food

[44:35] Fats he recommends

[46:35] Act like an Italian, Greek or Spanish → bring olive oil to table and pour on thing

[46:56] Eat butter from France, italy or Switzerland

[47:18] Avocados are great for you

[47:35] You need to have oils to absorb nutrients in vegetables you eat

Three key points:

1. Bad bugs send messages to the brain so we eat the foods they like → simple sugars and saturated fats
2. Get a pressure cooker

[00:47] Introduction to two twelve

[01:38 ] Question: Tell us about your hero's journey and where you are at.

[02:03] Background of sam parr

[03:20] Introduction to Air Bed and Breakfast

[05:05] Sam Parr introduces the company “The Hostile” that he started and where it is now

[06:35] We grew up fast by creating a great community and by creating contact.

[08:50] They are hooked because of our mission

[09:20] Our ambassador group has a lot of really high quality people

[11:47] Its okay not to know and i'll figure it out along the way

[14:30] So what we do really well is we find information the we believe is useful to our users and make it incredibly engaging by being really good writers.

[16:16] i believe as of now breaking news is a bit of a commodity

[19:02]] we are trying to target HENRY'S, High Earners Not Rich Yet

[21:24] We are polarizing in that we take stances on things

[21:38] We are kind of outsiders, i feel like we are outsiders in many aspects

[22:58] im not going to read that but i'll read something because i believe that is valuable.

[23:08] Understanding how to manipulate people, in a good way or a bad way,to influence people to do what you want them to do, is the most important skill set you can ever learn.

[24:58] That's the goal, to influence certain action

[25:39] One thing that we have struggled on as a company as we've grown is selecting which products will help us grow and which ones sucked and which ones were amazing.

[26:15] I want to give people better information to make better decisions throughout their day.

[28:06] You have to have values to back up what you are actually doing in the world.

[28:43] And so the actions we are trying to influence there is that for people to be suspicious about what they are consuming because it's crap.

[32:23] asks- will a lot of these companies have affiliates

[33:07] i believe that a media company will have multiple streams of revenue.

[33:44] the cool thing about media today is that there isn't that many politics.

[35:19] If you have a computer or a cell phone, you can reach a lot more people than alot of these media companies can.

[36:49] that took me a long time to learn i was really intimidated for a while about what media meant.

[37:23] just get really good at telling your story and you'll stick out big time and i think that far to many people don't look at what they are trying to do as a skill set and you have to get better at your craft.

[37:45] What are some of the ways we can support you?

[37:56] if you want to help us spread the word that'd be great, become an ambassador and sign up for the Hostile.

[38:23] one of the things i learned early on is that starting something and growing something requires entirely different skill sets.

Three key points

1. You have to have the correct midgets to build and grow a company.
2. Understanding how to manipulate people can be very useful.
3. Get yourself out there, get in contact with people who can help you grow.

Last question:

Sam needs some help with leadership. Maybe you know the person that can help Sam out or maybe you are the person to help Sam out.

[13:42] One of the main goals of the magazine is to help people learn what is working in the market

[18:39] Find someone who sells something different, at the same price point and copy their funnel.

[19:02] Buy the thing and give back to the person you took the funnel from

[22:51] (1) Before  you sell or design anything, set up a simple landing page that is a title, your promise and an opt in (“register to receive this”)

[24:14] Bots are the highest engaged tool in the market right now

[24:54] Deliver drip content that delivers content to their Facebook instead of email

[25:05] Email is a great tool, but people receive too much of it.

[25:34] (2) Send them to an opt in page or Facebook messenger to download.  

[25:54] (3) Free plus shipping. If you don’t have a free plus shipping do a standard liquidating offer.  

[27:39] (4) micro continuity- something you can offer in a monthly basis

[28:30] (5) webinar - you don’t have to give your webinar for free, you can charge for it, but you need to deliver more value

[28:56] (6) Bootcamp or master class

[29:43] (7) Application - high ticket  

[30:00] You can use 1-7 if you have physical products

[32:08] Funnel - the process you want people to follow  to achieve something

[32:54]  3 step funnel - (1) call to action, (2) confirmation and (3) upsell

[37:53] Key things in business: Impact, income, innovation and excellence.

[40:04] He loves politics because it gives people the opportunity to create the change they want.

[20:58] “Access” is much deeper. What is access?

[22:40] Economy is changing from owning economy to access based economy

[17:14] Red flag when he’s [Dean] looking at a business venture: when scarcity is the driver

[22:47] The only reason why you can close a deal is because you built a relationship first.

[01:12] What has made him what he is today.  

[01:27] He left prison with $25 in his pocket.  

[08:17] Drive has taken him to where he’s at.

[13:00] Without sales the world would be full of cool things no one knows about.

[13:56] If you’re not a sales guy, hire someone. Set a pay structure in which they get paid every month, so you get a month of work

[14:25] Second person you need to hire is someone that supports you and the sales guy.  

[15:17] His first sales funnel was with loan officers.  

[18:22] Just start with one thing (like a landing page). Don’t get hung up on having “everything”. Get moving. Get momentum.

[18:51] Once you’re in motion, life will start showing up and providing.  

[20:03] Adopted at age 7 and ran away from home at 15.

[20:27] Learned his parents weren’t going to help. Learned not not to rely on anyone.

[21:41] Decided to do it on his own. He feels free. He doesn’t feel like he owes anybody.  

[25:15] Next goal: make $21 million a year.  

[27:12] Same people have been controlling the world of many years. If he helps create more millionaires, things can change because they will exert influence to make this a more business friendly planet.

[33:10] There’s room for everyone in the market.  

[36:30] What he thinks of the future: most sales jobs while be gone.

[36:47] You need to be building the systems that are replacing salespeople.

[39:49] The word ‘special’ ignites narcissism since it might mean that your are better than someone else.

[40:03] We are not ‘special’ we are ‘different’. We are all created equal and we are all created differently.  

[41:27] Most of us spend our lives doing something other than what we’re programmed to do, and don’t get fulfillment

[42:02] Legacy he wants to leave in the world: a man that  accomplished everything he was told he couldn’t. Leave products that changed people’s lives.

Three key points:

1. If you’re not a sales guy, hire someone. Set a pay structure in which they get paid every month, so you get a month of work
