A Narrative many can relate to

Most people who read a business book are actually interested in business, making it a very segmented market. Chris wrote an inspirational business book- but in the fiction genre. Money Tree is a narrative about an individual named Jake; he has a lot of financial pressure even with a good job. Jake is a relatable character as he has a great work ethic and a decent job, but he is struggling under the weight of debt. Do you find yourself relating to Jake? This book isn’t about celebrities or very rich people, but instead it is about ordinary humans. Maybe you don’t find yourself interested in entrepreneurship, but maybe it is something you need to consider. 

The types of ways to make a business 

The first group for starting a business is the kind that entails capital and a lot of risk. Usually, you are unsure if this will pay off until after a long time. The second group involves investors and a lot of risk. Here is where people like Chris come in, the third way of starting a business- entrepreneurship. Most people in the third way group are people trying to earn money apart from their day job; some eventually want to quit, others want to pay off debt, and some just want to build a larger savings. Usually, this looks like small side projects until you can determine if they will work and to what scale.

To do this, you have to start where you are and with what you have. Imagine if someone hadn’t thought, “Wow, there has to be people just like me who really want a lightsaber?” There is in fact a market for Star Wars fans, and there is a market for something which you are passionate. Accidental entrepreneurship still has struggles, and often you find that a project doesn’t work out. When it doesn’t work out, the solution is to then take that knowledge and apply it to your next project. When it comes to going at business this third way, due to the low risk, you are able to keep trying and keep being creative.

Unconventional Business

Chris gave up a lot and changed many of his habits over the past few years, and one habit he picked up is saying, “Congratulations,” in a variety of situations. One example he gave is that when it come to losing a job, he has found sometimes it opens up individuals to share about their issues at the job and what they would rather have been doing. In life, there is so much you cannot control, but Chris encourages you to focus on the 1% that you can control. Another way to go about entrepreneurship is through curiosity, and sometimes that looks like trying to see what your expertise, skills, and passions can offer to the world. Whenever you figure that out, the next step is taking action. You cannot get anywhere without the follow up of action.

Stephen, another improvisor from the Omaha area joins me in using the socratic method and improv to develop 10 questions to ask Jim Morrison, with a focus on The Doors debut album.   Both Stephen and I love The Doors.  Stephen may have even heard the Doors play live.  Both of us took a deep dive into Jim Morrison, re-listening to the vinyl records, watching documentaries, and pulling research articles.  With all this background we come up with the ultimate list of 10 questions to ask Jim Morrison. 

The Video of this podcast is available at:  https://youtu.be/ULeJsZ9vvbg

John explores how are faith gets colonised by large stones – large stone like making our churches great again, or keeping Britain great, or making Germany or America great again. 
In light of that he asks "what captures our imagination?"
He wonders what Mark’s Jesus is inviting us to let go of, and what might shape our imagination as we enter into another advent?

I wish every episode of the podcast could be recorded live in front of an audience in a cozy coffee shop while sipping high-vibe magical tonics. We recorded this a few weeks ago live at The End, a coffee shop in Brooklyn that is home to the unicorn latte and many other magical plant alchemy drinks. It's such a special place to me which I explain in detail in the episode but I discovered the adorable coffee shop months before moving to NY and then serendipitously met the owners and this week's guests Bret & Madi only a few days after moving. They are two of the most lovely people I've ever met and their businesses reflect the positive energy each of them radiate.  The night we recorded was bursting with so much love, joy, and magic, I went home that night on a high and have been eager to release this episode ever since. We not only get into how Bret & Madi came together to start The End and their first business the Montauk Juice Factory, but as usual the conversation meandered all over. We got into pleasure, specifically the power of “pleasure over pressure,” their love for Montauk, creativity, tapping into your own highest vibration, inclusivity in the wellness industry, social media, community, and so much more. I loved hosting this episode more than any other one I've ever done. I hope to do more live episodes all around the city because this was a blast, hope you can feel that when you listen.
