    About this Episode

    In this episode, I will do a really detailed recap of 2019 and talk about all that has happened since the beginning of the year, what I went through, what I have learned, and how it has all made me a different person for the better. From my brother dying, to selling my business, to my Facebook getting deleted mid-launch, to going on a world trip and having to cancel it, I have experienced just about every range of emotion imaginable.

    I'm going to share with you my biggest wins, my biggest losses, and my biggest takeaways by breaking down the year into three phases. I started the year on a high note by launching company and podcast, attending the 10X Growth Con, celebrating my birthday, and was super stoked when the New England Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl with Tom Brady getting his sixth ring. I also went down to Nashville to speak at a Pre-Funnel Hacking Live event and it’s about two weeks after that my brother Kyle passed away in a freak helicopter crash over in Kenya. 

    The pain and loss that I experienced from that made me feel so lost and I started to question everything about life. That led me to take time away from my business and my partner was very gracious in covering for me. I started studying God, religion, and philosophy while also getting therapy to cope with it all. Fast forward a few months and I had gone through and overcome so much, and was on a world trip with my girlfriend but had to cancel it and return home because my girlfriend had to get some urgent medical attention. 

    It was a rough and bumpy year, but the lessons I have learned have been super valuable, and I hope that the biggest takeaway for you will be the fact that we are all really in control of our lives even when everything seems out of control. So join me in this emotional roller coaster episode, and I promise you that it will help you prepare for the new year ahead.

    400: How To Change Your Life In 12-24 Months (From -$55k to 7 Figures)

    5 years ago I was watching the SuperBowl $55k in debt, no direction in my business, and dealing with my wife being very sick.

    I had no offer, no consistent revenue, and I felt like anything I had to offer the world had already been done.

    12 months later, I was debt free, and I moved into new apartment. 24 months later, I made $500k that year, and married the love of my life.

    During that time I didn't do anything special. I didn't come up with some magic solution, or strike gold somewhere.

    In this episode, I discuss what I did, and what anyone can do to radically change their life in 12-24 months.
    If you are anything like me, your future self will thank you.

    399: Transgenderism, The Border, Trump Vs. Biden, & Personal Liberties. (Socialist & Trump Voter Debate)

    Several months ago, my good friend JR Rivas introduced me via text to Colin. He said Colin was the "Maximum amount of liberal he could tolerate in a human and still be friends." 

    Today, I sit down with Colin, and we have a debate, moderated by JR, about topics that most liberals and conservatives would disagree with. We discussed Trump Vs. Biden, the border, Israel/Hamas, free speech, and more.

    Enjoy!
