| 06 Feb 2020 | Doc Williams - The Gary Vee Content Model 2.0 | 01:14:14 | |
We are back and on today’s show, we are chatting with Doc Williams, an awesome guy who approached us to be a guest on our show. We couldn’t say no as we realized he came with so much value and a model that was easy to follow, that we really wanted to share it. Doc comes across as someone who has lived many lifetimes, going through a variety of businesses through the ages (even though he’s close to our age). He’s worked with ESPN, AppSumo, an Olympic medal team, he ran his own CrossFit gym, even a candy store! He’s done so many interesting things in his life, and he’s one of the very few people who have made the cut through reaching out to us directly with his model. He’s also worked with VaynerSports and is clearly someone who makes stuff happen. You’ll hear how Doc takes the concept of creating content, which can be super time consuming and leans into what your personality is best suited for, then repurposing that content in a way in which you are getting it in front of the right people. You’ll also learn which channels are working and how to set up your own content funnel to keep it as simple for you so you don’t get overwhelmed trying to be everywhere, all over the various social media channels. After you are done, check out our talks with Paul Clifford and David Sinick as we discuss content syndication, content upgrading and speeding up the process for promoting and creating content. “If the opportunity is there, I just try to listen as much as possible...how could be of use.” - Doc Williams Some Topics We Discussed Include:

| 06 Aug 2020 | Steven Kotler - How To Create And Leverage Flow States | 01:10:36 | |
We are stoked to have Steven Kotler on today’s show as this is one of those episodes we are super curious as to what he’s doing and wanted to dive into the massive body of work he’s done. Most of Steven’s work deals with flow and peak performance as well as converging technologies and futurism. He also does a lot of work with Peter Diamandis and has a new book co-authored with Peter, called The Future Is Faster Than You Think. This book is part of their trilogy of books and will show how you can combine these exponential technologies and systems and stack them. He also dives into why flying cars, blockchain, and other cool things like that are changing at a super rapid pace. We even talk about how this all relates to COVID as well as some actual benefits of the current situation we find ourselves in. This is a fly on the wall conversation talking about futurism, how to get into flow, whether you can get into flow synthetically, and how to change our brain’s default from thinking negatively. We also discuss your primary and secondary activities, which one you should focus on for fun and for work, plus Steven even told us which country is leading the charge in drone technology (and it’s not from where you think). We know you are going to love this show as much as we did, and when you are done be sure to check out our episodes with Craig Ballantyne and Dave Asprey for more discussion on living a high performing life. “When you are talking about peak performance, there’s no such thing as a hack. There’s only one thing - there’s getting your biology to work for you rather than against you.” - Steven Kotler Some Topics We Discussed Include:

| 17 Jun 2021 | Erik Huberman - Building A People-Based System To Achieve Your Vision | 01:10:48 | |
Our episode today with Erik Huberman of Hawke Media was a mini-class of 5-6 various topics all combined in one show. We talked about increasing lifetime value, about how venture funds work, equity deal lessons, the marketing we should be focused on, and building an agency, systems, and owning your audience. We share the vision with Erik, as there’s a lot of what we’ve done previously such as having an agency, and we like the fact that he’s not trying to create his own products, but is just staying in his lane. We also talked about owning your own audience and bringing them somewhere where you can follow up with them as well as the idea of aspirational content where the content is built so it’s inherently sharable as that’s the content that people want to be shown. The content is what goes viral, not the sales page. We talk about how he is building sweat equity and brought in someone to view what he was doing, as there are probably some better deal structures out there. Erik has all these companies and basically crafted something where he can be his best self, which creates funds, books, and his own platform through scaling people. After you have listened, be sure to check out our chats with Charles Byrd and Sergei & Vadim Revzin to get your mind reeling with the opportunities behind venture funding and expanding your network for lucrative deals. “Figuring out your average sales cycle is critical so you can analyze everything else well.” - Erik Huberman

| 16 Apr 2019 | Caleb Simpson — The CBD Business And How To Market Without The Ad Platforms | 01:04:08 | |
One of the most stressful times in Caleb Simpson’s life was selling his energy bar business. The finances, lawyers, and buyers were all wearing him out, so he decided to give CBD (the non-psychoactive chemical found in hemp plants) a try. Results were so immediate that he knew exactly what business he was going to start building next. Caleb is a father of three kids and ultra-marathon runner. After trying CBD for the first time his stress melted away and he found relief from the pain of his chronic injury. He founded Hemp Daddy’s to bring the healing power of CBD to those struggling with chronic issues like inflammation, anxiety, depression, and much more. Not every industry is welcome on Google and Facebook. Listen in as Caleb shows Matt and Joe 5 ways to market taboo products without the aid of big platforms, segmenting your audiences without special links, and the tech stack to manage everything yourself. When you’re done, check out our conversations with Mike Michalowicz and Nate Broughton for more advice about building a business from scratch. “I see everyone complaining and moaning... When is Facebook going to allow CBD? Maybe they'll never allow it, so you don't need to sit around waiting.” -Caleb Simpson Some Topics We Discussed Include:

| 28 Aug 2018 | Tim Francis — A Masterclass On Finding And Hiring The Right People | 01:22:17 | |
Have you ever been a witness to “the moment?” It’s that moment of clarity in life when your state of health or misalignment with your business methods as a solopreneur takes you from broke to brilliant. Tim Francis and his journey are living testimony to the colossal impact of lucid thinking. Tim’s story began like many other entrepreneurs. He grew his business beyond his ability to get things done and took on an assistant to help him scale. He searched all the greatest places for “inexpensive” virtual help, from India to Russia, and most places in between. The problem was the time it didn’t save him and the quality control he couldn’t have. So, one after another, Tim got frustrated with his hired help and ended up taking back over “task” work and the grind went from 70 hour work weeks to 90 or more hours. Soon after entered the loss of clients’ capital in the stock market and real estate crash of 2008, hiring the wrong and extremely expensive “entrepreneurial” mentor, and a seriously painful illness that landed him back in his parents’ home recuperating. This was exactly what he needed to get to his own “moment.” Listen in to hear more about Tim’s mindset shift from consumer to producer, advice on how to hire the right people at the right time to grow and scale your business, and how to think of your newfound assistant as a revenue stream instead of a business expense. If the takeaways in this episode resonate with your current state of systems or team building, be sure to check out tips from Samantha Riley and Josh Bartlett too. There’s no leverage here. If there’s no return on my time, energy and money, why would I even bother…?”- Tim Francis Some Topics We Discussed Include:

| 02 Jun 2023 | Why Entrepreneurs Struggle with Happiness with Joe Fier | 00:20:49 | |
In this solo episode, Joe delves into the fascinating factors that determine happiness. From the influence of genetics and external circumstances to the power of our daily choices, he explores how we can unleash our true potential and find genuine joy.
Listen as Joe shares thought-provoking insights on the correlation between self-employment and happiness, shedding light on the importance of aligning our work with our values for a more fulfilling life.
Joe reveals a personal awakening that came from consciously slowing down with daily micro habits. He narrates his own experience of recognizing the negative impact not having these habits in his life had on his overall well-being, and the subsequent desire to break free from a version of himself that no longer resonated.
Joe emphasizes the significance of turning daily habits into non-negotiable investments in oneself, shifting our perspective from mundane chores to empowering rituals. Drawing on the powerful 80/20 rule, he invites listeners to discover the activities that take up less than 20% of their day but bring about immense joy and fulfillment, leaving them inspired to embrace positive change.
To further guide him, Joe shares a profound quote from BJ Fogg, introducing the audience to the concept of the tiny habit method, which encompasses motivation, ability, and prompt as key components for lasting transformation.

Her largest business was a wireless communications consultancy that was doing $10 million in revenue per year and employed 75 people when she sold it. Sara also talks about the world of holding masterminds and how she is able to white label that for other brands, an interesting concept and potential way to expand your current business model. This episode is also really eye-opening, as Sara talks about how one little post sent her world in a spiral, leading to an all-out war waged on her business, thousands of hateful messages and even death threats. And while it’s something many of us never consider, this leads to a great discussion of how we are all at risk in this new age of technology, what you need to know to best protect yourself and how to defend your business and personal data to minimize being put at risk. After you’ve listened, be sure to check out our previous shows with Sunny Lenarduzzi and Brad Costanzo where we talk even more about branding, networking and leveraging your audience for long term growth. “Who are we to be judging each other, and can we not have conversations that are nuanced and still be friends even if we don’t agree on things?” - Sara Christensen Some Topics We Discussed Include:

Hey everyone, it's Joe Fier from Hustle and Flowchart. Today, I'm thrilled to share insights from my recent chat with Gert Mellak, an expert in online reputation and SEO. Our conversation spanned everything from proactive brand management to the evolving impact of AI on SEO strategies. What’s the Episode About?In this episode, Gert and I dive deep into the critical aspects of managing your online reputation and SEO. We discuss how essential it is to control your brand’s narrative actively, ensuring consistency across all platforms. Gert shares a unique experiment with a fictional product, highlighting the importance of coherent information online. We also explore the role of AI in maintaining brand presence and the shifting dynamics of platforms like Reddit in affecting web traffic.Proactive Brand ManagementGert stresses that, in today’s digital world, online information is extensively accessible and can substantially impact perceptions. It’s critical to take proactive steps in controlling your brand’s narrative. Consistency in information across the web ensures that people get a clear, accurate picture of your brand.Simplicity in Brand MessagingUsing the metaphor of educating algorithms like teaching a child, Gert emphasizes the need for simplicity and consistency in brand messaging. Simple, clear language makes it easier for search engines to understand and rank your brand effectively. This straightforwardness helps optimize your SEO efforts.Creating a Personal Brand WebsiteGert advises creating a personal brand website and interlinking it with your social media profiles to ensure consistency and enhance brand recognition. This central hub can serve as the anchor of your online presence, allowing you to control your information better and present a cohesive brand image.The Power of Consistent InformationGert shares an intriguing experiment where he created a fictional woodworking tool. Through consistent online information across various platforms, he observed significant changes in perceptions. This experiment underscores how critical it is to maintain consistency to shape public views effectively.AI Models Like ChatGPT and Brand ManagementThe discussion touches on the predictive nature of AI language models like ChatGPT, which fill in gaps if information is sparse. Together, we explore how to use AI models to manage your online brand presence by ensuring accurate and consistent content updates. Gert also emphasizes that concise and coherent information helps improve brand representation over time.Managing Online Course NamesA business struggled with discoverability because it didn't label its offering as a "course." Gert explains that search engines can’t always make connections if keywords or identifiers are missing. Labeling your services clearly helps in better indexing and ranking, which is crucial for attracting the right audience.SEO and Content StructureAligning your content structure with search engine guidelines is vital for better indexing and ranking. Gert uses the "connect the dots" analogy to describe how search engines work. Ensuring that each piece of content correctly fits together enhances the overall effectiveness of your SEO strategy.AI Evolution and Voice AssistantsWe discuss the rapid evolution of AI, especially the potential updates in ChatGPT and integration with voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant. Gert mentions that even Apple might integrate OpenAI technology into its Siri voice assistant. These advancements hint at a more interactive and pervasive AI presence in our daily lives.The Role of Platforms like RedditGert sheds light on the shift in user behavior towards platforms like Reddit, where Google has partnered to impact traffic to traditional websites. This partnership has led to significant declines in website traffic, highlighting the need for businesses to engage on platforms where users are active.Engagement Strategy and Platform LeverageIntroducing “Platform Leverage,” Gert suggests engaging users on various platforms like Reddit and YouTube conversationally. Participating in discussions on well-ranking threads enhances brand visibility. This strategy mirrors traditional marketing engagement, akin to attending trade shows to directly reach clients.Using AI Tools and Custom GPTsTraining AI models, like custom GPTs, to understand and replicate a brand’s voice and style is a game-changer. Gert elaborates on creating bespoke GPTs for specific tasks, improving efficiency, and maintaining consistency. Recording and analyzing spoken inputs to inform AI training further help in capturing the brand’s essence.Content Creation and Feedback UtilizationWe delve into utilizing customer feedback to create relevant content. Gert mentions receiving 400 customer reviews, which helped improve several website elements. This approach ensures that content and strategies remain customer-focused and effective.

| 17 Sep 2020 | Alex Charfen - Your Business Should Always Be Broken | 00:57:44 | |
Alex Charfen joins us today and like many in the past, we were pleasantly surprised at the topics that came up. First, we chat about Alex’s backstory and how he was able to turn his life and business completely around after the housing crisis in 2007. He was able to take his knowledge and create a brand new business helping others get through some very difficult years, and this business gained momentum so quickly that he became a top advisor to government officials while also making it onto the Inc. 500 list a mere four years later. This is a great, timely chat about creating something helpful and important, out of a crisis such as the one we’ve dealt with this year. We also have a great conversation about Alex’s struggles, his successes with a specific kind of therapy, the importance of being vulnerable, and how, if you find yourself judging other people or situations (which of course, we all do from time to time) the best way to turn this around to actually fix how you feel about yourself. Once you’ve listened, be sure to check our shows with Lisa Cherney and Perry Marshall where we talk about how to succeed in today’s challenging climate as well as dealing with self-sabotage. “If you're thinking maintain, you're out of the game already. The mantra in a crisis is, ‘I can grow in this crisis, I can succeed in this crisis, I can help people in this crisis, and I can make a huge impact in this crisis.” - Alex Charfen Some Topics We Discussed Include:

Bob Burg is the author of quite a few books, notably The Go Giver series, which is one of the very early ones we still reference, and it’s such a smooth read as it’s told in a story form. Being open to receiving is probably one of the things most people struggle with, and this came up in our conversation today as there’s this feeling that we want to constantly give value.

Bob explains how to not only be open to receiving, but mastering your emotions an having empathy, even if you cannot completely relate to another’s situation, as well as letting go of the need to be right, communicating with tact and setting up a proper frame ahead of time so that the results of what you do will be beneficial and lead others to react in a positive light.

In this episode, I, Joe Fier, share insightful techniques to amplify the usefulness of every meeting, thus enabling us to work smarter, not harder. From client encounters to team huddles, you'll discover how to retain and utilize the goldmine of data that every meeting can provide.

We talk about utilizing tools like Fathom and Otter.ai, that not only record your meetings for free but also quickly provide transcriptions. This doesn't just help in keeping a record but sets the stage for deeper analysis and follow-up actions. Maximizing Team Performance & Personal ReflectionsMeetings should culminate in tangible outcomes that propel projects forward. That's why team meetings aren’t just for updates, they're for defining responsibilities and identifying actionable tasks. Personal reflections have their place too. By recording and revisiting your musings, you can glean insights that guide your future decisions. Using AI for Meeting AnalysisArtificial Intelligence has reached a point where it can astutely summarize your conversations, suggesting action points and even highlighting nuances you might have missed. We delve into how tools like ChatGPT and Claude.ai can process your meeting transcriptions to pull out key notes and to-dos, saving hours of manual labor and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. Takeaway Prompts & Action StepsBesides discussing these tools, I provide specific prompts that you can utilize with these AI tools to fish out vital pieces of information from your meetings. The action steps provided are designed to turn every meeting's transcript into a strategic plan, ready for immediate implementation. Prompt Guide for Actionable Insights from Transcriptions 1. Client Meetings Prompt: "Review the attached transcription of a client meeting and identify key action items, decisions made, and any follow-up tasks needed." 2. Sales Calls Prompt: "Analyze this sales call transcript to highlight successful negotiation points, client objections, and agreed next steps." 3. Team Meetings Prompt: "From this team meeting transcript, extract important deadlines, project updates, and assigned responsibilities." 4. Personal Reflections Prompt: "Summarize this personal reflection recording by identifying main insights, future goals, and areas for improvement noted." 5.

Identify and list all actionable tasks, key discussion points, and any urgent matters requiring immediate attention." These prompts should help leverage AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude.ai to analyze meeting transcriptions effectively and efficiently, turning spoken content into structured and useful outputs. ConclusionIn conclusion, the breadth of today's discussion on the Hustle & Flowchart spans from the initial process of recording meetings to the strategic application of AI for data mining valuable insights post-meeting. We explored the power of free tools that log every word for you – a tremendous asset for tracing commitments, aligning goals, and ensuring accountability.

| 07 Aug 2018 | Billy Gene Shaw — Using Video And Advertising To Be Everywhere | 00:55:26 | |
Entertainment pays, no matter what your niche. And in this day and age, no matter how big or successful you believe you are in your online business unless you’re willing to entertain first, you’ll go the way of the dinosaur (before the Jurassic Park storyline brought them back to life anyway). At least, that’s Billy Gene Shaw’s motto. From the looks of things, Billy Gene’s onto something. He’s the man that missed out on a college degree by not completing one course to go to Cabo with an ex. He moved on to fail at a mobile oil changing business next. After that came learning the most marketable of all skills at of his next jobs with an agency-marketing of course. While getting paid to learn how to help businesses grow, Billy Gene saw the real money was in growing an online business, so he jumped in and learned how to market his first online course in quitting smoking and drinking. What he learned there and at his day job helped him to build the online mecca known today by many entrepreneurs as THE GUY of YouTube video ads. Tune in as the conversation gets deep, not wide about the three-step process to kill it with online video ad campaigns, running traffic to the right place on YouTube, and three things to include in every video you shoot to build your brand and sell more stuff. Once you’re all set and get Billy Gene’s tips into action, be sure to parallel park Dennis Yu’s Facebook video strategy alongside it to get more bang for your branding buck. And, if you really want to be seen everywhere by your prospect, check into our qualified traffic episode to nail it down the rest of the way. “That’s what people don’t understand. It doesn’t take a lot of money, and here’s the thing. If you’re making more money than you spend, you’re actually getting paid to build your brand.”- Billy Gene Shaw Some Topics We Discussed Include:

Jay and Rich go way back, having known each other for close to twenty years. In today’s economy, this will be the most valuable information that any business owner can take and actually use, to make money and turn things. Both Rich and Jay give their insights around a host of opportunities in today’s world to help people and businesses leverage their existing assets in such a way that will benefit them and you as the deal maker. There are also some great examples of folks who knew where to look and find opportunities that others were missing and basically created arbitrage situations that led to passive income for years to come. We know your mind will be reeling with possibilities after listening, and when you are done you will want to listen to our previous episodes where we chatted with Dana Robinson and Markian Sich on how they are able to create passive income as well with real estate investing and online businesses. “This is the time where there is so much opportunity, and the reason is there is so much opportunity is because during times of tremendous uncertainty as well as some form of recession, what happens is there are many businesses who are a lot less active than before, and that leaves a lot of their assets dormant...which makes them a lot more receptive to other ideas and possibilities. ” - Rich Schefren “Right now there are 5 or 6 windows of screaming opportunities that are starting to close..first one if there will never be a time in the history of entrepreneurship where more business owners and professionals are open to doing deals, collaborating, joint venturing, profit partnering, letting you sell things to their audience....that’s one thing. ” - Jay Abraham Some Topics We Discussed Include:

| 02 Aug 2018 | Vince Reed — Scale Your Traffic Using The Big 5 Ad Platforms | 01:02:14 | |
If you knew Vince Reed back in the day when he owned his real estate brokerage, you likely never would have guessed he‘d make the big leap into online business. By his own admission, he hardly knew how to send an email. After the market crashed in 2008 though, when faced with the decision of flipping burgers or learning Google ads, thankfully he chose the later. A believer in his own advice, Vince decided to “learn by doing,” sold a bunch of furniture and computers from his recently closed business out of his garage, and dove in feet first. He clicked on an ad to learn how to make money online, and he’s been in the business of helping others build their businesses ever since. You can find Vince running a full-service digital agency to help others get more traffic, convert more leads and make more money following a strategy that can be optimized and scaled. He’s an avid participant in live events to help train business owners to do the same. And, if you’re really lucky, you may catch him at his own Internet Traffic Live event that he’s hosting for the fifth and final time in 2019 (with previous guest speakers like Roland Frasier, Billy Gene Shaw, and Russell Brunson to name just a few). Listen in and hear Vince’s three-part process for driving traffic, ad budget optimization tips for Facebook and his two-step YouTube ad strategy that’s possibly even better than a Google paid strategy. And, if this episode resonated with you, check out Matt’s post about driving consistent traffic and Dennis Yu’s $1/day episode to truly hone your paid traffic plan.

| 26 Mar 2024 | Is The Secret To Entrepreneurial Success Sex? with Dr. Anne Truong | 00:59:22 | |
In this heart-racing episode of Hustle and Flowchart, host Joe Fier invites Dr. Anne Truong, a sexual health expert, to delve into the often-overlooked connection between sexual wellness, stress management, and overall health. As a renowned specialist, Dr. Truong reveals astonishing statistics and practical advice on how entrepreneurs and professionals can integrate healthy practices to improve their sex life, reduce stress, and protect their heart health. This conversation is an eye-opener into how our personal wellbeing is intricately linked to our productivity and entrepreneurial success. Erectile Dysfunction and Cardiovascular HealthDr. Anne Truong begins by discussing the striking statistic that 67% of men with erectile dysfunction (ED) will experience a heart attack within 7 to 10 years, showcasing the importance of seeing ED as a potential early warning sign for cardiovascular issues. This highlights the need for awareness and proactive health check-ups. Four Pillars to Sexual Health and LongevityDr. Truong introduces the four pillars essential to sexual health and longevity: diet, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction. Adopting a Mediterranean diet, staying active with walking or other exercises, ensuring enough restorative sleep, and lowering stress levels can lay the foundation for improved sexual health. Intermittent Fasting, Productivity, and Stress ReductionTouching on the benefits of intermittent fasting, Dr. Truong suggests that this practice can rejuvenate the body, promoting cell turnover and aiding in stress reduction. She also notes its positive impact on productivity when combined with regular breaks and exercise. Sexual Activity's Role in Cardiac HealthSexual activity is not only a natural part of life, but it's also a boon for cardiac health. Studies indicate a correlation between an active sex life, longevity, and healthier living. The conversation also emphasizes the need for communication and incorporation of these life-affirming practices into our daily routines. Cortisol, Stress, and Their Effects on HealthDr. Truong dives into the impact of cortisol, the stress hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Chronically elevated cortisol levels can cause various health issues, including hormonal imbalances and cardiovascular strain. Saliva tests are one way individuals can gauge their cortisol levels throughout the day. Stress Management TechniquesThe duo discusses various techniques to manage stress effectively, including yoga, meditation, proper diet, regular physical activity, and natural supplements like ashwagandha. Dr. Truong adds that sexual activity is a potent stress reducer, leading to a decrease in cortisol and an increase in dopamine levels. Dr. Truong's Personal Journey with StressDr. Truong shares her close encounter with stress-related health problems, including Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT). By adopting a more balanced lifestyle and monitoring her cortisol levels, she was able to normalize her health indicators and overcome stress-induced issues within a few months. Sexual Health and Entrepreneurial SuccessThe conversation shifts to how sexual health is interconnected with professional success. Dr. Truong explains that maintaining good blood flow through sexual activity can boost organ functionality and overall wellbeing, thus contributing to enhanced focus and energy for entrepreneurs. The Importance of Blood Flow and Vascular HealthExploring the physiology of blood flow, Dr. Truong emphasizes its importance for organ function and the positive effects of sexual activity on the brain, which releases feel-good hormones and neurotransmitters. Joe Fier connects these insights to the importance of tuning into the body's needs and responses. Practical Advice for Sexual Health and RelationshipsClosing the episode, Dr. Truong and Joe discuss the vital role of maintaining sexual health in relationships and emphasize open communication between partners. They also share resources such as Dr. Truong's YouTube channel "Sexual Health for Men" and various online coaching programs for those seeking guidance. ConclusionThis episode serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the interplay between sexual health, stress, and cardiovascular wellness. Joe and Dr. Truong provide actionable insights and natural approaches to enhancing sexual vitality, making it clear that maintaining our sex lives is essential, not just for personal fulfillment but for our overall health and success. Listeners are left with invaluable lessons on the importance of love, connection, and intimacy, and are encouraged to engage with further content on the topic, such as Dr. Truong's educational platforms.

When you’re done getting ideas from Nikhil and Ryo, learn additional tips on how to use the content you already have to create oodles more and set your site apart from everyone else by checking out our episodes with Hani Mourra and Larry Ludwig. “We had a freemium version which had a “Powered by Tint” logo at the bottom which engineered backlinking strategies, where we would have that linked to specific landing pages with targeted copy and used that to gain our initial traction and to rank for keywords like ‘Instagram widget’ or ‘Twitter widget’ so when people were looking for the official one they would see our and see it was the superior version.” - Ryo Chiba “AI can cut down that ideation time or creative energy cycles that you spend coming up with paragraphs and we envision AI sort of augmenting that process so that you have your first draft and your writers are editing your content after that.” - Nikhil Aitharaju Some Topics We Discussed Include:

| 31 Jul 2018 | Brian Bradley — Why Business Success Is All In The Hips | 01:08:50 | |
What if doctors today have it all wrong when it comes to healing? A chance meeting with Pete Egoscue and a hook-up with Tony Robbins in the early nineties were the only two cues Brian Bradley needed to join the new healing movement right alongside them. After completing his degree in physical science and a focus in nutrition, Brian became the head ambassador to the low-intensity body movement system coined the Egoscue Method with Pete. Over the past 26 years, he’s trained professional athletes in the NFL, MLF and PGA and countless others to help overcome their pain and perform at their peak. As a pioneer in the functional movement, Brian has taken Pete’s unique method to The Patch, an exercise facility aimed at balancing the human body to give it the best chance to function most effectively. If you’re stuck in your chair building your empire, tune in for Brian’s easy five-minute workout to get you prepared for your “sitting as a sport” day. If Brian got you up and out of your chair in this episode, listen in on Marx Acusto-Rubio’s episode when the guys first got introduced to the concept. Also, while you’re contemplating mindset, this post Joe wrote about motivation is worth a quick look too. “It’s my job to get people out of their head and into their heart about what they should trust about the human body.”- Brian Bradley Some Topics We Discussed Include:

| 11 Feb 2020 | Theo Lucier - How To Be Smarter, Energized, And Focused All Day | 01:24:36 | |
We are back with another awesome show with Theo Lucier with a boatload of information! You may remember we had Theo on previously and his episode was super popular as we talked about sleep, having more energy and the best supplements to take. As we come into the seminar season when a lot of events are happening, we realize that those events can be really draining as there’s a change in diet, you are away from your normal routine and you’re on your feet all day. If you are attending these events, we talk about how you can counteract these things. We also highlight how to prep yourself at home or at the office, and there’s a lot of supplement talk, habits, and practices - both free and paid stuff. You’ll have everything you need to not only succeed at home but also feel your best away from home as well. We also love getting feedback on this type of stuff, so let us know what you think about this subject and/or what types of subjects you’d like us to ask in the future and what types of topics you want us to cover. After you are done, you’ll definitely want to check out our previous show with Theo as well as our show with Joe Cohen for even more tools to add to your health and wellness library. “Let’s just focus on your body first, because you don’t have to think about it, just do certain things and your body is provided the conditions it needs to begin repairing itself...and before you know it you can think more clearly and that’s when you have the energy and the willpower.” - Theo Lucier Some Topics We Discussed Include:

| 14 May 2024 | Transform Your Career: Overcoming Subconscious Hurdles with Dr. Lise Janelle | 00:48:11 | |
Welcome back to another episode of the Hustle and Flowchart Podcast! Today, I have the pleasure of hosting Dr. Lise Janelle, a renowned life transformation coach who specializes in helping professionals eliminate subconscious blocks that impede their success. This episode dives deep into the realm of personal achievement, shedding light on how subconscious beliefs shaped by past experiences can significantly influence our current success and happiness. Understanding Subconscious BlocksDr. Lise Janelle opened up our discussion by explaining how subconscious blocks are often rooted in our early childhood experiences and how they can dictate both our failures and our achievements. She shared the story of an Olympic skier who struggled to win despite intensive training. This athlete’s deep-seated belief, stemming from childhood, that they did not deserve success was sabotaging their efforts. Dr. Janelle’s technique, the Heart Freedom Method, has helped individuals like this skier overcome such blocks and achieve unprecedented breakthroughs. Overview of the Heart Freedom MethodWe delved into Dr. Janelle’s Heart Freedom Method, a transformative approach that incorporates Neuro Emotional Technique and the teachings of John Demartini. This method emphasizes identifying subconscious beliefs and replacing them with gratitude and a heightened sense of self-worth, leading to improvements in relationships, finances, and overall career trajectories. It’s a method focused on aligning your inner truths with your heart's deepest desires, fostering a phenomenal transformation in all facets of life. The Role of Gratitude in Personal GrowthA significant part of our conversation centered on how gratitude amplifies self-worth, which plays a critical role in unlocking potential and fostering success. Dr. Janelle emphasized that gratitude is not just about being thankful for the good things but also appreciating the challenges and learning from them. This mindset shift is pivotal for genuine growth and happiness. The Impact of Childhood Experiences on Self-WorthUnderstanding the link between early emotional experiences and self-worth was another critical topic. Dr. Janelle explained how the absence of emotional support in childhood could make recognizing our value and acknowledging our own desires more challenging as adults. This understanding is crucial for anyone struggling to achieve their goals, as it highlights the need for a compassionate self-review of one's past to align better with one's future aspirations. The Stages of Human DevelopmentDr. Janelle outlined two main stages of human development: the unconscious state driven by external validation and the conscious state driven by internal beliefs. Transitioning from the unconscious to the conscious state involves acknowledging and letting go of those ingrained beliefs that no longer serve us. This transition is imperative for anyone looking to live a more authentic and fulfilled life. Facing Life's Challenges and TransformationsWe talked about the importance of facing life's challenges head-on and using them as stepping stones to achieve greater success. Dr. Janelle shared personal anecdotes, including facing her father’s terminal illness and learning from the rollercoaster lives of Hollywood stars. These stories highlight the importance of resilience and finding inner peace amidst life's extremes. Finding Your Purpose and Understanding Personal GoalsFinally, understanding and connecting with one’s purpose emerged as a theme. Dr. Janelle advocates for taking time to explore and understand where one is heading in life. This clarity, coupled with a connection to one's heart's desires, is the ultimate formula for achieving not only success but also true happiness and fulfillment. Resources from Dr. Lise JanelleFor those interested, Dr. Janelle offers various programs to aid personal growth, including the Extreme Freedom Retreat Weekend and an online training that encapsulates the essence of the Heart Freedom Method. Learn more and explore free resources through this link: Dr.LiseJanelle.com This episode was a deep dive into the transformative power of understanding and reshaping our subconscious beliefs. The compelling insights from Dr. Lise Janelle underscore the incredible impact of aligning our life’s purpose with our deepest values and desires. Whether it’s overcoming subconscious blocks, embracing gratitude, or understanding the stages of human development, this conversation is a goldmine for anyone looking to elevate their life to extraordinary heights. Keep pushing forward, and remember, the journey to self-discovery and personal growth is one of the most rewarding investments you can make. Two Other Episodes You Should Check Out

| 08 Jul 2021 | Ryan Berman - How Courageous Companies Build Well-Known Brands | 01:14:01 | |
The time really flew by on today’s episode with Ryan Berman of Courageous Brands, as we let Ryan’s stories interweave into the show. Ryan brings to the table a different perspective than most marketing people. We discuss his stair stepper approach to marketing and how everything is connected. We also talk about how he created an actual city location, in Funner, CA and the magic behind that marketing campaign. One of the things that we love about this conversation is to start by stepping into the shoes of who you are selling to, which is something we intuitively know, but don’t always practice. Think of how you would want to be marketed to, which is one of the toughest things, but remember the customers are holding all the cards. Ryan also discusses how, if you have a boring brand, do something to change that fact, and create stories around the brand to make it exciting. Also, make sure you listen to the end, as we read some of our recent reviews - maybe it’s from you! And after you have enjoyed this episode, be sure to check out our conversations with Dan Norris and Ryan Lee, who have both created successful brands by offering value and fun in a different way that makes them stand out from the rest. “We’re living in this world now, where we are inundated with 7,000 messages a day. There’s so much competition right now and that’s why brand is so important.” - Ryan Berman

| 18 Feb 2021 | Dan Norris - Beer, Branding, And Compound Marketing | 01:24:32 | |
We have Dan Norris on the show today, and he’s someone who has accomplished quite a lot, with a somewhat different approach to marketing. He focuses on four core pillars: branding, community, storytelling, and content marketing. In this episode, we do a deep dive into all four of those. After founding WP Curve, which was subsequently sold to GoDaddy, Dan started a new venture, Black Hops Brewing in Australia. You’ll hear Dan discuss how he has created one of the biggest and well-known brands in his country (voted the #1`craft brewery in Australia), all with basically no ad spend. There’s a similar thread in the way he’s marketed both his WP Curve brand and his craft beer brand, and it all comes down to his concept of Compound Marketing, which is also the basis behind his new book. When you’re done, check out our conversation with Lisa Cherney for more content strategies and how to be real to your audience even if that means being putting off others, and get some advice from Anthony Constantino, who also runs a super fun company that really resonates with his customers. “It helps to take this approach where you’ve got these things compounding behind the scenes without you necessarily having to do a whole lot. I see our competitors buying billboards and doing paid ads and I’m glad we don’t have to do all that.” - Dan Norris
