Alan welcomes the CEO of RELEVE, Dawn Dahlby, author of Live Wellthy. As a certified financial planner, Dawn says money is but a tool. A tool that is defined and controlled by one's behavior. Many of us live in fear of not having enough money, and or not being enough as human beings. Dawn teaches how to master your mind and your money. In her book Live Wellthy, she focuses on three key factors: Own It, Earn It, and Grow It. Own it, is where you learn to own all that is, core values, weaknesses, and learning how to discover and utilize your strengths. Earn It, is nothing but everything to do with money. Earning the right income and outcome. And lastly, Grow It, are the how-tos in comprehensive financial planning. Maximizing your performance and mastering your mind and money. Up next is Dr. Alok Treveti, a.k.a. Dr. Rewire. Dr. Treveti started his journey at the age of 26 as a chiropractor. A very successful one at that. However, through his patients, he discovered how they shared similar ailments, which caused them to come in around the same time every month. That piqued his interest to dig deeper to see the root of the problem. Before treatment, he would sit down with his clients and talk with them, to get them to open up. Through questioning, he was able to rewire his client's brains to help alleviate the aches and pains at least by 70%, without an adjustment. He realized that there was a neurological connection between stress, depression, and anxiety and the aches and pains that brought his clients in for an adjustment. Mind over matter, in other words, master your mind, make your money, and have abundant health. Dr. Rewire says fear is the enemy that keeps you from moving forward. However, he has come up with a formula that will help you overcome that with four easy steps. One, figure out what the fear is. Two, if your fear becomes reality, what would be the positives or benefits to your life? Three, if it didn't happen, what would be the drawback? And four, can you be grateful if it happens or not? If you rebalance your brain and face your fear, it takes away its power. Fear is a future emotion, and if you can eliminate its power over you by using Dr. Rewires formula, your journey to success is but a stone throw away. <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>[00:00:00] Live WELLthy</li> <li>[00:05:54] Empowerment</li> <li>[00:13:00] Own It, Earn It, Grow It</li> <li>[

Alan welcomes business coach and CEO of Proven Chaos, Jerry Macnamara, as they discuss the secret to success with one word, Love! Loving your people and treating them as whole people.

Alan welcomes Liam Martin - Co-Founder and CMO of Time Doctor, Co-organizer of Running Remote Conference and Co-author of Running Remote Book. Alan starts the show by sharing how as an entrepreneur the need to control everything comes with the territory, yet at the same time he believes the best work comes from an employee that is able to be motivated and inspired with no time stamp. Lian says that working remote changed dramatically during COVID. He explains that a new group of workers merged onto the scene that he calls, Pandemic Panickers. Liam believes its the largest shift in work since the Industrial Revolution. With the new fundamental change of how work is done remote, he reminds us that it isn't a place. It doesn't matter where you work as long as you get it done. Asynchronous! Liam exclaims is the key along with autonomy. Not having to directly interact with people by working through a communication system allows an individual to work remote and to have maximum freedom in your life. Discipline equals freedom. Freedom allows your people to work on more difficult problems. To solve really unique difficult issues that move a business forward. Bureaucracy! No micromanaging...says Liam. He goes onto explain the fundamental of a remote business. 1. Set of processes, creating digital information that can be shared. 2. Don't have positions, become the operators. Delegate responsibility. 3. Automate all of the reporting. Have the same information available to the employees as the CEO so everyone is on the same page. Lastly Liam shares the common mistakes of remote business owners. Don't make working from home turn into living at work. Divide social space from work space. Stop requiring or asking for immediacy, it speeds you up but slows the company down, and lastly have team members tied into the same goal. <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>[00:00:00] Control!</li> <li>[00:06:07] Accountability!</li> <li>[00:11:30] Methodology!</li> <li>[00:18:50] Asynchronous!</li> <li>[00:28:17] Bureaucracy!</li> <li>[00:33:49] Philosophy!</li> </ul>

Alan shares that the best website he has been on is MarcusLemonis.com. A powerhouse of information, and the best part it is free. Marcus believes education should be free. Alan asks Marcus what he learned from this pandemic. Marcus responds that he learned what he needed to shed himself of. It also allowed him to see what kind of people he is working with and their level of commitment. Marcus talks about being an agent of change. To be able to be vulnerable and expose yourself. Willing to take the beating, the criticism, while you hold onto your convictions. Be open minded. As information and technology is changing, you must ask yourself it there is a different way, a better way to do something. Alan talks about the "trolls" of social media and their hatred. He asks Marcus how he deals with them. He says to be mindful of the message and or lesson you are trying to spread. Stay professional and direct. Take a breath, and think about how to answer. Allow them to explain themselves. Usually softness and professionalism deactivates the hate. But if you made a mistake or said something you shouldn't have, own up to it. Lastly Alan asks Marcus to share at few pillars of his success. Marcus said he has quite a few, but these 5 are his top. 1. Reminding ourselves why people are at the center of our business. Employee recognition. Find people that will make our business better. 2. Understanding your financial statements. 3. Recognize what you're good at, but most importantly what you're not good at. Own your deficiencies. 4. Don't keep your family in the dark about your business. No surprises. 5. Recognize if you may be the problem. Own up to it, and evolve. <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>[00:00:00] Twists and Turns</li> <li>[00:06:17] Powerhouse </li> <li>[00:11:30] Level of Commitment</li> <li>[00:18:51] Agent of Change</li> <li>[00:26:06] Stay Professional</li> <li>[00:33:53] Pillars of Success</li> </ul>

Evolution with Marcus Lemonis

Joining Alan on the “steppingstone of wisdom”, is Glenn Stearns, Entrepreneur, Mentor, Podcaster, Philanthropist, and star of “Undercover Billionaire”. Glenn shares his journey as to how he got to be where he is today. Growing up with humble roots, he wanted more and so he and his friend packed it up and traveled to California. It was there he started his mortgage business. From a mortgage business to a Title Company, onto becoming the Lender. Glenn shares that he failed and fell many of times before finding success. He had a pivoting point in 2007 when things came crashing down. However, he didn’t give up. He owed a lot of money to a lot of people. He decided to get on a plane and visit every single person he owed money to and said, “let’s fix this”, and he did. He became the largest Lender in America shortly after. As he is on top of the world, he finds out he had throat cancer. So, he took some time off to heal and be with his family. In 2014 he sold 70% of his company. In 2019 he came back and opened “Kind Lending”. Glenn then was challenged with an opportunity to show the world how to start a business from ground up with nothing but a cell phone and $100. He said, put me anywhere in the country with no money and no contacts and I can make it happen again. Undercover Billionaire was born. Glenn shares that he felt for a moment that he was going to be a colossal failure in front of the world as he did the show. But the show turned out to be a smashing hit. Every time he got into a deep hole; he gets himself out because he doesn’t give up. The show became an inspiration to many and the outpour he received from around the world made it worthwhile. Alan talks about his struggle as an entrepreneur, and the failure he faced. It took him to realize that to win you must lose, sometimes lose it all. Advice from Glenn. It’s a crazy time. In business you're always going to find that it doesn't always go the way you plan it. The world may be against you, from weather to industry changes, even political. Be prepared for change. Reality is that while we are trying to create ourselves, we need to be authentic. Surround yourself with the right people. Having the authentic ability to connect to your people. Having integrity and doing it right. From Karma to planting seeds. Whether good or bad, eventually you will find out what you planted. Work hard and be authentic. <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>[00:00:00] The Gardener</li> <li>[00

Undercover Billionaire with Glenn Stearns

Joining Alan today is his new friend, Sam Malouf - Co-Founder of Malouf Co. and The Malouf Foundation. Sam shares that the real engine of his company is the people. You can't do it all nor do you know it all. Getting the right people to work for you and with you makes a big difference in the success of your company. His mantra is, "We Invest in People". Sam and his wife then moved onto create the Malouf Foundation - a public charity that helps create awareness in Human Sex Trafficking. They focus specifically on kids. They work with the healing process of the survivors as well as the justice side of things. Alan asks Sam, "What valuable lessons have your learned as an Entrepreneur? Sam replies, besides investing in people, encouraging their ideas, passion, criticism, and creativity is the essence. Trusting and empowering people along with hard work and never giving up. Up next is Austin McGhie - Author of Find Your Difference, Challenging Conformity in Business and in Life. Austin says there isn't a lot of science behind marketing. There's lot of tracking and measuring, just not a lot of science beneath it. Alan asks what it is that he teaches in his books? Austin says, business at the end of the day is marketing. Marketing is about positioning, and positioning is about difference. Brands and businesses are built through differences. What is the "secret sauce" in marketing? You want facts and figures. You build your mountain of information. Then make that intuitive leap off. But the real secret is imagination. Austin shares why his book is split into three sections. The first section explains how important difference is. The second is a question, Why are you so afraid of difference? And lastly, How do you go about being different in marketing and in business. Alan asks why the word "Life" is on his book dealing with business. Austin explains that there is a lot to be done to encourage people who are different to be different. To celebrate difference and not to conform, to embrace things in life that are different. <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>[00:00:00] It Started with Bed Sheets</li> <li>[00:05:22] Human Sex Trafficking Awareness</li> <li>[00:11:30] Hard Work and Don't Give UP</li> <li>[00:18:21] Find Your Difference</li> <li>[00:25:34] 3 Parts</li> <li>[00:33:23] Celebrate Differences</li> </ul>
