How to Master the Money and Fulfillment Game

Zach recently celebrated his 35th birthday on September 30th, a milestone that brought with it a profound sense of gratitude. Through the ups and downs of life, he's discovered that divine grace has carried him through the toughest of times when he thought he might not make it.   Recently, Zach has been diligently crafting more compelling and authentic content, pouring his heart and soul into his work. This comes after he took a step back from the hustle and bustle for a while to focus on personal growth, a decision he's immensely thankful for. This hiatus allowed him to reconnect with himself and recalibrate his life.   During this introspective journey, Zach realized that true success is not measured by external validation, but rather, it lies deep within us. He learned that the wellspring of one's power is found in the quiet moments spent in self-reflection. It's okay to embrace and acknowledge our emotions, even the difficult ones, and to work through them with patience and compassion.   As Zach continues to evolve and create meaningful content, he carries with him the wisdom that the answers we seek are often within us, waiting to be discovered when we take the time to sit with our thoughts and feelings.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: __ __   FAVORITE QUOTE: “I was miserable because I wasn’t doing the thing I love doing.” -Zach Babcock   HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Get podcasting help here.

Mastering Resilience: Turn Loss and Pain Into Your Ultimate Source of Power

In the relentless arena of life, there's one thing I know for certain: it's going to punch you square in the mouth. Adversity is not an occasional guest; it's an unwelcome companion that tags along uninvited. To navigate these turbulent waters, one must don the armor of resilience. Today, let's delve into the art of mastering resilience, the alchemical process of turning loss and pain into ultimate power.   Today marks a significant milestone - the 400th episode of Underdog Empowerment. As we commemorate this episode, we are thrilled to announce that the Alpha Dog Pound is officially open for enrollment. The elite signup window is closing this Friday, and the Alpha Dog Pound Academy will be accessible for the next two weeks. Regardless of where you stand in your personal or professional journey, there's a level tailored just for you at alphadogpoundlive.com.   Reflecting on my own path, I recently suffered a significant injury that taught me invaluable lessons. It was a cold September morning when I awoke at 2 or 3 a.m., my back throbbing in agony, pain shooting down my leg. This torment persisted for a week and a half until I finally sought the help of a chiropractor. It was so severe that I couldn't hit the gym or coach kids in sports. Although I'm not yet at 100%, the chiropractor's expertise has significantly improved my condition.   This experience underscores two vital lessons. First, it's astonishing how much we appreciate something when it's taken away from us. Second, we are often more motivated to move away from pain than toward pleasure. In most cases, it's the threat of discomfort that propels us into action.   Curiosity led me to consult GPT, and it promptly furnished me with seven reasons behind our tendency to appreciate things more when they're gone. Loss aversion tops the list; humans feel the pain of losing something more acutely than the joy of gaining something of equal value. Psychological reactance, scarcity principle, regret, memory enhancement, nostalgia, and social influence all play their part in amplifying our appreciation for what we've lost.   The interplay between pain and pleasure in our motivation is a fascinating dance. When pain is absent, motivation can be elusive. However, when pain takes center stage, we become driven to fix the source of our suffering. GPT revealed some reasons behind our inclination to move away from pain rather than towards pleasure. These include evolutionary survival tactics, loss aversion, fear and anxiety, uncertainty avoidance, and the fact that painful experiences are potent teachers, shaping our mental fortitude and self-discipline.   But how can we apply these insights to our lives proactively? One strategy involves tricking yourself into feeling the pain now, using negative visualization. Imagine yourself on your deathbed, contemplating a life without good health, family, or reaching your potential. Sit with that vision and allow it to permeate your thoughts. This exercise will compel you to ponder your daily decisions and where they are leading you. It will also help you cherish the present moment and the blessings it holds.   As we celebrate this momentous 400th episode of Underdog Empowerment, let's remember that life's punches, though painful, are essential for our growth. Resilience is our shield, and the ability to transform loss and pain into power is our sword. Join us on this journey of self-discovery and transformation, and let's rewrite our stories together.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: __ __   FAVORITE QUOTE: “Adversity is a part of life, and if you’re not prepared for it, if you’re not resilient, it’s going to be tough.” -Zach Babcock   HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Get podcasting help here.

How to Optimize Your Life to Win Your Game

Are you familiar with that feeling when you're knee-deep in a project, pumped with excitement, only to realize you've been pouring your energy into the wrong thing all along? If you've been following me on social media or subscribed to my newsletter, you might have noticed a bit of radio silence lately. But don't worry, it's not because I've disappeared. In fact, it's quite the opposite.   I've been immersed in a project so special it's hard to put into words - the Alpha Dog Pound Academy.  It's a haven for aspiring entrepreneurs and those striving to take their game to the next level. For just $47 a month, you gain access to exclusive monthly meetings that will supercharge your journey. Check it out at alphadogpound.com and see for yourself what's brewing!   You see, I've learned a valuable lesson along the way. I used to be all about building, always chasing the title of the "biggest and best" in the podcasting agency world. But then, I had an epiphany. I realized I wasn't building what truly mattered to me. My 'why' had always been clear - to be the best dad I could be.   So, I made a change. No more 16-18 hour workdays. I now clock off at 4 pm, ready to coach sports, embark on adventures, and camp out in the backyard with my family. I've never been more driven, and what I've built so far is just the beginning.   I've stopped trying to prove myself to others because the only person I need to prove anything to is myself. I've traded haste for happiness and focus on optimizing my game, not someone else's.    And guess what? Next week marks our 400th episode!  Stay tuned for something cool dropping in the Alpha Underdog collection, and get ready for an exciting e-commerce partnership announcement.  Join me on this incredible journey at Alpha Dog Pound Academy, and let's make sure we're optimizing for the right game - our own.    WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: __ __   FAVORITE QUOTE: “What I’ve built is just a drop in the bucket to what I’m building.” -Zach Babcock   HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Get podcasting help here.

Your First Five Years In Business with Joey YAK

Joey Yak, a guest on the fifth episode of the Underdog Empowerment podcast, shares a profound journey of personal growth and self-realization that has transformed his life since then. During his first appearance on the podcast, Joey was in a modest 2-bedroom, 1-bath house, working out of a shed, and grappling with feelings of impostor syndrome. However, he now resides in a beautiful home, has a thriving business, and has emerged from the shadow of self-doubt.   Joey's transformative journey begins with a realization that he doesn't have to prove himself to others; instead, he needs to prove himself to himself. Initially driven by the pursuit of money, he discovers that this path led to a loss of identity. He learns that the key to fulfillment lies in helping others and delivering value. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining this drive while finding happiness in one's current circumstances.   One of the significant turning points in Joey's life was his battle with addiction to Adderall and alcohol. He openly shares that cannabis played a pivotal role in helping him overcome the need for Adderall. While he acknowledges the stigma surrounding it, he believes in normalizing its use as a useful medication. Cannabis sparks his creativity and enhances his overall happiness, and he no longer feels guilty about its consumption.   Joey admits that he's not an operator in business because he lacks passion for it. He underscores the importance of pursuing what you love right from the start, rather than chasing easy, fast money with the intention of later transitioning to your true passion. This realization has led him to align his efforts with his passions, ultimately achieving greater satisfaction.   Joey offers valuable advice on building a reputation beyond one's local area before returning to the local market. He believes that this approach can significantly boost one's credibility and opportunities.   As he discusses his daily routine, Joey emphasizes the importance of walking to clear his mind, eating clean to avoid binging, and taking charge of his mornings. These practices significantly impact his mood and overall well-being.   One of the key lessons Joey imparts is the importance of not letting fear of letting go of a team hold you back. Procrastinating such decisions can be detrimental, and he encourages a focus on "Return on Energy" rather than solely on Return on Investment.   Joey's career shift centers on offering creative content at an affordable rate through his platform, "Get Attention STL." He coaches individuals, develops concepts, and creates content to help clients gain attention and expand their reach.   When asked about the advice he would give himself if starting over with nothing but knowledge and wisdom gained through experiences, Joey emphasizes the importance of focusing on what truly fulfills you and going all-in on that passion. He advises building deep relationships with clients, prioritizing quality over quantity, and investing in meaningful connections.   In conclusion, Joey Yak's journey is a testament to the power of self-discovery and alignment with one's true passions. His story reminds us that happiness and success come when we prioritize personal fulfillment, help others, and stay true to ourselves, regardless of external pressures or expectations. Joey's experiences offer valuable insights for anyone seeking a path to greater fulfillment and purpose in life.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: __ __   FAVORITE QUOTE: “Ten subliminal moves equals that one big power move.” -Joey YAK   CONNECT WITH JOEY: The YAK Agency https://theyakagency.com/scale/ Get Attention STL https://getattentionstl.com/   HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Get podcasting help here.

Building Wealth Through RV Park Investing with Jason Lafferty

Jason Lafferty's journey into the world of RV real estate is a testament to his unwavering entrepreneurial spirit and determination to carve his own path. From a young age, he was driven by the desire to avoid traditional employment and pursue ventures that would set him apart. At the age of 21, he took his first step into the business world by establishing a transport company. This marked the beginning of a series of ventures that would eventually lead him to the realm of real estate.   A significant portion of Lafferty's transport business involved hauling RVs, providing him with exposure to the world of recreational vehicles. Fond memories of his childhood visits to RV parks ignited his interest in the industry. It was during a camping trip with his girlfriend that the spark was truly ignited. As they counted RV park spaces and calculated potential earnings, the idea of owning an RV park took root in his mind. Fueled by this vision, he embarked on a journey of extensive research and planning.   Upon returning home, Lafferty delved into in-depth research on the fundamental aspects of establishing an RV park. He meticulously studied the requirements for amenities such as electricity, water, roads, and septic systems. In addition, he analyzed existing RV parks to gain insights into pricing strategies and other operational details. Armed with a solid foundation of knowledge, he began exploring various funding options for his ambitious project. This led him to formulate a comprehensive business plan that outlined his vision and strategies.   However, Lafferty's path was far from smooth. Despite his thorough preparation, he encountered numerous obstacles on his road to success. He approached over 40 bankers in pursuit of financing, only to face repeated rejections. Undeterred, he displayed remarkable perseverance and continued his quest. Finally, a local bank recognized his dedication and potential, granting him the approval he needed. This breakthrough marked a turning point in his journey, and he wasted no time in moving forward.   Closing April 17th, the construction of his RV park is now 90% complete—a testament to Lafferty's commitment and ability to overcome challenges. As the park neared its completion, Lafferty's reputation began to spread. People started reaching out to him for guidance and assistance in realizing their own dreams of opening RV parks. This growing interest prompted Lafferty to consider consolidating his knowledge and experiences into a consulting business, where he could offer invaluable insights to aspiring entrepreneurs.   Not content with stopping at one successful venture, Lafferty's ambitions expanded further. He secured a second RV park location situated near a casino, with the support of an investor. In this partnership, Lafferty's role involves extensive hands-on work, while his investor provides financial backing. This collaboration allows him to retain 40% equity in the endeavor—a testament to his ability to forge strategic partnerships and negotiate mutually beneficial arrangements.   When reflecting on his journey and considering what advice he would give to himself if starting over with just wisdom and knowledge, Lafferty emphasizes the importance of resourcefulness and self-awareness. He underscores the value of identifying one's strengths and leveraging them to their full potential. Lafferty's story exemplifies the power of persistence, adaptability, and the unwavering pursuit of one's dreams. From transport companies to RV parks, his journey showcases the remarkable transformation that can occur when passion meets strategic planning and unwavering determination.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: __ __   FAVORITE QUOTE: “If you haven’t wanted to quit at least 12 times on what you’re doing, you haven’t even gotten started.” -Jason Lafferty   CONNECT WITH JASON: JasonVLafferty.com   HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Get podcasting help here.

Wealth Building and Lifestyle Design With Jeff Smith

Meet Jeff Smith, a man who has cracked the code to a fulfilling and purpose-driven life, both in business and family. Every year around Thanksgiving, Jeff and his wife engage in a unique tradition – they embark on a retreat to reflect on the past year and plan for the one ahead. This ritual isn't just about setting goals; it's a holistic evaluation that extends to their business ventures, physical well-being, family dynamics, and more. For them, it's about shedding the superficial and ego-driven pursuits that consume time without truly enriching their lives.   Jeff is a firm believer in being an integral part of his children's lives while they are still young. He recognizes that this season of life is precious and irreplaceable. As the founder of a mastermind group for men, Jeff empowers them to achieve financial success without compromising their roles as strong husbands and fathers. He challenges the pervasive hustle-and-grind culture, asserting that it often compensates for deeper emotional needs. For Jeff, success doesn't require sacrificing family bonds and personal well-being.   Rooted in the residential real estate arena, Jeff's journey began when he bought his first house at the age of 24 with minimal down payment. He practiced a strategy known as "home hacking," a creative approach where he lived in a property for a year, then moved into a new one while renting out the previous property. This ingenious method allowed him to leverage equity and generate cash flow. His insight extends to the world of short-term rentals; he understands that it's not just about offering a place to stay but providing unique experiences that stand out even in a crowded market. Jeff is a big fan of STR Insights, a platform that facilitates tailored searches for exceptional short-term rental experiences.   Beyond his business acumen, Jeff's passion for adventure shines through. He indulges in lengthy RV trips, a journey where meticulous planning ensures he stays connected to his work while immersing himself in the marvels of the world. His commitment to unconventional living has influenced his children's education as well; they are homeschooled and have accompanied Jeff on various journeys, proving that learning and growth can thrive outside the confines of traditional classrooms.   If Jeff were to start anew armed only with the wisdom he has gained over the years, his first piece of advice would be to dive headfirst into real estate. His philosophy of delivering value without expecting immediate returns has shaped his journey, whether he's the owner or not. His ethos of ownership transcends property, embodying a mindset that impacts every aspect of his life.   In a world where societal pressures often drive individuals to pursue success at the expense of their well-being and relationships, Jeff Smith stands as a beacon of balance and intentionality. He exemplifies that changing the world starts at home, with deliberate choices that honor family, self-care, and personal growth. Jeff's story reminds us that success is not just measured in financial gains, but in the richness of experiences, the strength of relationships, and the meaningful contributions we make to the lives of those around us.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: __ __   FAVORITE QUOTE: “I can’t stand the hustle and grind culture, I think it’s nonsense.” -Jeff Smith   CONNECT WITH JEFF: Instagram The Tactical Empire Podcast   HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Get podcasting help here.

All In and Win or Die Trying with Zoon Nguyen

Zoon Nguyen's life journey is nothing short of remarkable, shaped by courage, determination, and a deep sense of purpose. Born in Vietnam, he found his way to the United States at a young age, thanks to his grandfather's service during the Vietnam War. The transition to a new country wasn't easy, but Zoon was fortunate to have a supportive community around him that helped him adapt and thrive.   Growing up, Zoon's father worked tirelessly to provide for the family, leaving little time for emotional connections. This led Zoon to seek a path where he could learn valuable life lessons and become a strong, self-reliant individual. He saw the military as the perfect opportunity to do just that and enlisted in the Navy along with his friends after high school.   After serving his country with pride and honor, Zoon ventured into different career paths, starting with car sales before realizing his passion for technology and starting his own IT business. But destiny had more in store for him. As he pursued his newfound interest in photography and videography, Zoon discovered a way to channel his creativity and passion into a force for good.   In 2017, Zoon founded the New Legacy brand, pledging to donate a portion of every sale to Feeding America. The venture enabled him to provide 17,000 meals to those in need, but he didn't stop there. Inspired by the desire to make an even greater impact, Zoon envisioned an audacious goal - raising enough funds to provide one million meals. This ambitious undertaking motivated him to push his limits, leading to the decision to run from California to New York, a dream inspired by the iconic character Forrest Gump.   The New Legacy run is set to begin on March 1st, 2024, covering approximately 20 miles a day over 150 days. It's not just a solo endeavor; Zoon invites the world to join him, be it as sponsors, running partners, or simply supporters. He understands the power of a united effort and how a team environment can propel individuals to achieve greater heights.   For Zoon, life's journey has been an energy transfer, continuously giving and receiving inspiration from the people around him. His experiences have taught him the value of seizing opportunities, being unafraid to take risks, and embracing a fearless mindset. If he were to offer advice to his younger self, it would be to shake hands and put himself out there, for in connecting with others lies the potential for transformative growth.   Having experienced heartache with the end of a significant relationship, Zoon used his pain as fuel to become better and help others. He believes that courage comes from confronting fear head-on and embracing the possibilities that unfold when we shed self-doubt. As he embarks on the monumental run across the country, Zoon is a living testament to the incredible things that can be achieved when fear is cast aside and dreams are pursued wholeheartedly.   Zoon Nguyen's story is a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the extraordinary impact one individual can make when they choose to embrace their passions and use their strengths to uplift others. His journey is a reminder that the pursuit of a dream, no matter how audacious, can serve as a catalyst for positive change on a grand scale. Through the New Legacy run, Zoon is poised to create a lasting legacy, providing nourishment for the body and soul, and inspiring countless others to turn their dreams into reality.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: __ __   FAVORITE QUOTE: “A lot of entrepreneurs, when they first get into business, they do everything themselves; for me, it’s always a team effort.” -Zoon Nguyen    CONNECT WITH ZOON: Miles For Meals http://www.milesformeals.us Instagram YouTube   HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Get podcasting help here.

No Excuses Lifestyle with Paul Casey

Paul Casey's journey from a troubled past to a thriving fitness entrepreneur is nothing short of remarkable. Raised in a broken home where his mother struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, and his parents' split left him feeling uprooted at the tender age of 12, Paul's life seemed destined for a rocky path. Moving to a neighborhood where his family was one of the few white households made him a target for bullying, pushing him towards using anger and violence as a means of self-defense. This led him down a dark road, getting involved with drugs at just 15 to fit in with his peers.   Before long, Paul found himself entangled in a cycle of incarceration, homelessness and stays in mental institutions. By the age of 18, he was incarcerated in an adult jail, and later, he ended up in prison due to his involvement with methamphetamine and firearms. It was during those 19 months behind bars that he had an awakening. Paul realized he wanted more from life and decided to change his path upon release.   However, old habits die hard, and despite his newfound determination, he fell back into selling and using drugs after some time outside prison walls. Facing a daunting sentence of 27 years, he ultimately received a 10-year sentence. The first nine years were a struggle, but Paul refused to accept that as his fate. He emerged from the fog of his past and recognized the need for a true transformation.   As a two-strike criminal with a plan to return to the familiar when in trouble, Paul had an epiphany—he couldn't let that be his destiny. Seeking guidance, he approached an inmate who had managed to stay on the straight and narrow. This encounter proved to be a turning point, and on August 25th, 2018, Paul was released from prison, determined to change his life forever.   Paul embarked on a mission to reinvent himself, taking small, consistent steps toward a brighter future. However, healing past traumas was essential for his growth. He discovered that showing emotion wasn't a sign of weakness but a path to healing and personal growth.   Setting his sights on a career in fitness training, Paul took a bold step and opened his own facility. But this newfound success came at a cost—he overworked himself, neglected his health, and spiraled into depression. Recognizing that he needed help to find a balance, he made the crucial decision to seek guidance from another mentor. Through this mentorship, he learned the importance of being a successful business owner without being consumed by the business itself.   Looking back on his journey, Paul reflects on the wisdom he has gained through his experiences. If he had the chance to start over with nothing but the knowledge he's acquired, his first piece of advice to his younger self would be to invest in a mentor. He learned that fear should never stand in the way of seeking help from those who have already achieved what he aspired to do.   Today, Paul Casey stands as a testament to the power of determination, resilience, and the willingness to change. From a troubled past and a life teetering on the brink of self-destruction, he has crafted a no-excuses lifestyle that empowers him and inspires those around him. By embracing his past and harnessing the lessons it taught him, Paul is not only shaping his own future but also the lives of others he touches through his fitness journey.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: __ __   FAVORITE QUOTE: “I need a foundation because if I don’t have one, I don’t know what to do.” -Paul Casey   CONNECT WITH PAUL: Instagram TikTok Facebook   HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Get podcasting help here.

Finding traditional employment proved arduous, leading him to explore the world of marketing and e-commerce, where he built not one but several successful businesses.   However, it was the allure of real estate that truly captured Mike's heart. Negotiating, sales, and analysis became the tools he honed to carve his path in this competitive industry. He recognized the significance of providing shelter, and the tax benefits made it even more enticing.   Yet, it wasn't just about financial gain for Mike. His passion to make a difference pushed him to write a book, "From Prison to Prosperity," aiming to empower inmates with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive after their release. He vowed to help them avoid the pitfalls that await and instead, find their footing in society.   Incorporating the discipline he learned through Jiu-Jitsu, Mike approached real estate with humility, keeping his ego in check and embracing the uncomfortable challenges that arose. Although he made mistakes along the way, Mike's determination led him to view real estate not just as a business venture but as a means to grow wealth strategically.   When asked what advice he'd give his past self if starting over with nothing, Mike's response was crystal clear: "Find out how to get into real estate." This statement speaks volumes about the impact the world of real estate has had on his life and his unwavering belief in its potential to transform others' futures.   Mike proves that no matter where life begins, it's the choices we make and the knowledge we gain from our experiences that shape our destinies. Through his remarkable story, he shows us that hope and opportunity can emerge from even the darkest circumstances, illuminating a path to prosperity for those willing to seize it.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: __ __   FAVORITE QUOTE: “The good thing about real estate is every new deal is like an entirely new business.” -Mike Pisciotta   CONNECT WITH MIKE: RE Investing Success http://www.reinvestingsuccess.com Facebook YouTube   HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Get podcasting help here.

Most Guru’s Won’t Tell You This

Zach has an ultra-important message to share. It’s something most influential people on the internet aren’t talking about, but it’s real life and people need to hear it.

Most influential people on the internet won’t admit to their struggles, but it’s real life and people need to hear about it.  The last ten months have been rough for Zach. Last year he lost over 50% of his business in one month, and he had to do one of the hardest things a business owner sometimes has to do. He had to let go of some really good people from his team. Then he recently decided to end his podcast production company to pursue other goals. While this was always part of the bigger plan, it meant starting over from scratch with his new endeavor, Alpha Underdog Apparel. He’s not sweating any of that though because he knows who he is, why he’s doing what he’s doing, and where he’s going.  If you find yourself going through a rough patch, Zach encourages you to get back up and get back to work.

Create Steady Wealth with Serge Berger

Building steady wealth requires a comprehensive understanding of the financial landscape, investment strategies, and long-term planning. Serge Berger, the host of the Steady Wealth podcast, shares his insights and experiences on how to achieve financial stability and create lasting wealth. Serge Berger's journey in the financial industry began after college when he joined JPMorgan. Working in various locations such as New York and London provided him with valuable experiences and allowed him to meet exceptional professionals. He eventually transitioned to the money management side and eventually established his own firm. Serge's intellectual fascination with money fueled his passion for helping others build wealth. One of the fundamental distinctions Serge emphasizes is understanding the difference between investing and trading. Many people mistakenly conflate the two, leading to impulsive decision-making and potential financial pitfalls. While trading can offer the allure of quick profits, it also carries significant risks. Serge advises that the majority of one's funds should be allocated to long-term investments, recognizing that investments provide greater potential for steady growth. Serge echoes Tony Robbins' wisdom, emphasizing the importance of long-term thinking. People often overestimate what they can achieve within a year but underestimate their capabilities over a decade. Building steady wealth requires patience and a commitment to long-term financial goals. Diversification is another crucial aspect of building wealth. Serge advocates for spreading investments across various asset classes such as fixed income, commodities, real estate, and precious metals. By diversifying one's portfolio, individuals can mitigate risk and take advantage of different market conditions. Serge firmly believes in the power of compound interest. By allowing investments to grow and reinvesting the returns, individuals can harness the exponential growth potential of their wealth. Over time, compounding can have a significant impact on overall wealth accumulation. For those who want to embark on the path of building generational wealth, Serge suggests seeking the guidance of a financial advisor. By consulting with a professional like himself, individuals can align their goals and receive personalized advice tailored to their specific circumstances. Serge emphasizes the importance of understanding clients' objectives, allowing him to create effective wealth-building strategies. However, for those who prefer a more hands-on approach, Serge provides resources for self-guided investing. Through his website, thesteadytrader.com, he offers investing and trading alerts, providing valuable insights for those looking to navigate the markets independently. Additionally, Blue Marlin Advisors offers portfolio management services for those seeking professional assistance. When asked what advice he would give himself if he had to start over with nothing but his acquired knowledge, Serge emphasizes the importance of gaining experience with the most intelligent company possible. He advocates for continuous learning, humility, and absorbing as much knowledge as one can within the industry. Serge's expertise and experiences in the financial world offer valuable insights for anyone seeking to build steady wealth. By understanding the difference between investing and trading, embracing diversification, harnessing the power of compound interest, and seeking professional guidance, individuals can lay the foundation for long-term financial stability and generational wealth.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: __ __   FAVORITE QUOTE: “A lot of people these days don’t differentiate between investing and trading.” -Serge Berger   CONNECT WITH SERGE: Steady Wealth Podcast http://www.steadywealthpodcast.com   HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Get podcasting help here.

How Money Solves Most Problems & How To Get It with Josh Forti

Josh Forti, a guest on the podcast three to four years ago, has since embarked on a remarkable journey, establishing a thriving online business and achieving great success. With a seven-figure coaching business under his belt, Josh also dabbled in the world of cryptocurrencies, primarily as a speculator. However, his encounter with Chat GPT made him realize that the world was on the verge of rapid transformation. Amidst these transformative times, Josh faced a personal milestone as well: his wife's pregnancy with their first child. Contemplating his future, he had to decide between continuing on the coaching path or seizing the opportunity to embrace the next trend. Although he had made some gains in the crypto market, he made the bold decision to shut down his coaching business at the end of the previous year. Instead, he committed himself fully to comprehending the crypto space and understanding how technology would disrupt various sectors, including investing and personal wealth management. Josh firmly believed that artificial intelligence (AI) would revolutionize everything, whether people embraced it or not. He recognized the power of AI in conjunction with blockchain technology, which resolved the issue of digital ownership. Furthermore, he speculated that superintelligence would eventually emerge and foresaw the possibility of AI causing harm to individuals in some capacity. Josh also emphasized the utilization of AI to foster growth, scalability, and automation. He mentioned AutoGPT as a prime example. He questioned the type of brand he wanted to build and concluded that personal cash flow was the most critical aspect of his life at that moment. To achieve this goal, he pondered how AI and blockchain could aid him in his endeavors. With the impending arrival of his first child, a daughter due in November, Josh's motivation to secure personal cash flow intensified. He expressed his belief in the value of coaching and learning from individuals who possess superior knowledge. Rather than solely focusing on making money, he advocated for transforming that money into freedom. Bitcoin held a special place in his heart, as it allowed him unparalleled autonomy over his assets. In contrast, he highlighted the flaws in other systems, such as real estate ownership, where taxes could lead to confiscation. Josh encouraged understanding the rules and playing by them to succeed, ultimately creating an ecosystem where worries became obsolete. While acknowledging that complete freedom eluded everyone, he acknowledged that wealth provided greater opportunities. Reflecting on his own journey, Josh considered the advice he would give himself if he had to start anew with only the knowledge he had gained. He shared a personal tragedy—the death of his brother in a helicopter crash four years ago, which left him residing in his parents' basement without any money. In his quest to rebuild his life, he hired a coach for $60,000, despite only having $5,000 upfront and uncertainty about acquiring the remaining funds. This coach imparted a crucial lesson: self-love and self-awareness were essential prerequisites for success. Understanding one's values, beliefs, and writing them down formed the foundation of an individual's operating system. Additionally, Josh emphasized the importance of figuring out ways to generate income, asserting that the core of effective selling lies in making customers feel understood—a skill that also helps in understanding people better. Josh Forti's story is one of resilience, adaptability, and a strong belief in the power of technology. Through his experiences, he has demonstrated the potential of AI, blockchain, and personal growth to reshape lives and businesses in profound ways.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: __ __   FAVORITE QUOTE: “Every industry that AI can disrupt, it will disrupt.” -Josh Forti   CONNECT WITH JOSH: Josh Forti http://www.joshforti.com/newsletter   HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Get podcasting help here.

Unlock Your A Game with BJJ Black Belt Nick Lamagna

Nick Lamagna, a black belt in martial arts and a passionate real estate enthusiast, has a story that defies expectations. Once a carefree individual, Nick found himself in upstate New York witnessing people making life-altering decisions about their futures. This pivotal moment propelled him to switch his major to criminal justice and pursue a career in law enforcement. While waiting to join the academies of the FBI, DEA, and others, Nick worked in construction. However, tragedy struck when his hand was crushed on the job. Faced with adversity, he made a promise to himself: if he recovered, he would devote himself fully to achieving his dreams. This incident prompted him to reconsider his path and put his passion for boxing on hold. During his recovery, Nick's mother introduced him to the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad," which ignited his interest in real estate. He realized that this field offered a way to build the life he desired, an opportunity he no longer had with law enforcement or construction. Alongside his newfound passion for real estate, Nick delved into martial arts, immersing himself in jiu-jitsu, boxing, and MMA. Reflecting on his journey, Nick acknowledges that the accident fundamentally changed him as a person. The experience made him realize he didn't like the person he was before the incident, prompting a profound shift in his perspective and priorities. Throughout his journey, Nick encountered various struggles, but none more significant than learning when to pull back. Understanding the key to longevity, he emphasizes the importance of knowing when to train and, equally crucial, when not to. Even if one endures defeat in the competition, there is always a valuable lesson to be learned. Focusing on a few key moves and finding a go-to strategy when in trouble can be a game-changer. Nick stresses that learning even a little bit of jiu-jitsu provides a significant advantage, instilling confidence in diffusing conflicts. Moreover, being accustomed to challenging situations while remaining calm offers benefits beyond the martial arts realm. This control over the fight-or-flight response can prove invaluable in business and life, giving individuals an edge over their competitors. Nick believes that while ego is necessary to drive oneself forward, martial arts serve as a constant reminder to keep it in check. Sometimes you are the hammer, and other times you are the nail. Striking a balance between confidence and humility is key. Nick's accomplishments extend beyond his personal growth. As the host of "The A-Game" podcast, he has interviewed prominent figures, training with and establishing lasting relationships with them. Alongside his real estate endeavors, he assists others in finding lucrative investment opportunities, sharing his knowledge and expertise. If Nick were to start anew armed only with the wisdom and knowledge he has gained, his first piece of advice would be to capitalize on the power of social media and connections. Recognizing the value of these resources, Nick encourages individuals to immerse themselves in relevant groups, attend meetups, and build an extensive network of like-minded individuals. Surrounded by the right people, success becomes an attainable goal. Nick Lamagna's journey showcases the transformative power of perseverance, self-reflection, and a willingness to embrace new opportunities. From a carefree observer to a force to be reckoned with in both real estate and martial arts, Nick's story serves as a testament to the potential that lies within all of us when we wholeheartedly pursue our passions.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: __ __   FAVORITE QUOTE: “For the last 15 years, that’s kinda been my life; real estate, jiu-jitsu, boxing, MMA, pizza dogs, and podcasts.” -Nick Lamagna   CONNECT WITH NICK: Nick Lamagna https://nicknicknick.com/links/   HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Get podcasting help here.

From the Psych Ward to Wholesaler One Day At A Time with Ky Logue

Ky Logue is a real estate investor, wholesaler, and entrepreneur who has overcome significant challenges to achieve success. His journey began with a turbulent childhood, characterized by frequent relocations, stays in group homes, juvenile detention, and even a stint in a psychiatric ward. By the age of 15, Ky found himself homeless and resorted to selling drugs to survive. Ky's life took a turn when he had a close call with the law. A colleague he was working with was raided by the FBI, which made him realize the dangers of his lifestyle. Determined to change, Ky's friend introduced him to a call center job, describing it as similar to the movie Boiler Room. Despite initially being turned away by the manager due to a lack of openings, Ky's friend convinced him to stay and eventually secured him a position. Although Ky had no prior sales experience, he excelled in his new role, discovering a talent he had never realized before. Reflecting on his past, Ky recognized that it had led him to self-sabotage in many areas of his life. Taking proactive steps to improve himself, he quit smoking weed, but this decision triggered anxiety, prompting him to focus on his physical and mental well-being. While Ky worked in sales for a considerable period, he never had a good manager and aspired to work for himself. Learning from a friend who owned his own business, Ky developed an interest in real estate, which had always lingered in the back of his mind. However, he had to overcome limiting beliefs and fix his mindset before pursuing this new venture. Ky believed he needed wealthy parents, good credit, and extensive knowledge of repairs to enter the field. Nonetheless, he embarked on a journey of online learning, immersing himself in YouTube tutorials and purchasing courses. This newfound knowledge led him to focus on wholesaling. Though he faced setbacks along the way, Ky remained persistent and eventually made his first successful sale. With perseverance, he achieved significant success in the real estate industry. Ky's advice to newcomers in the field is to have persistence and brace themselves for initial challenges. He emphasizes that action is the best teacher, and through trial and error, individuals will learn and grow. When asked what advice he would give himself if starting over with nothing but his gained knowledge, Ky highlights the importance of taking action. He advises finding areas of potential and recognizing when it's time to move on to something else. Ky Logue's story is one of resilience, personal growth, and entrepreneurial success. Despite a difficult past, he transformed his life by embracing opportunities, learning from setbacks, and persisting in his endeavors.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: __ __   FAVORITE QUOTE: “If I didn’t keep persisting in the beginning, I wouldn’t know what I know now.” -Ky Logue   CONNECT WITH KY: Facebook YouTube LinkedIn   HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Get podcasting help here.

Discover Which AI Tool Is Best for Content Writing and Sales Copy with Craig Kelley

Imagine a tool that could revolutionize your marketing efforts, making it easier than ever to create compelling copy and generate results. That's exactly what Lead Scripts, created by the brilliant mind of Craig Kelley, offers. As an entrepreneur who has been building SaaS applications for years, Craig understands the challenges faced by business owners and the importance of effective marketing. Lead Scripts is the culmination of his years of experience and expertise, designed to help entrepreneurs like you build successful brands. Craig's journey began with a passion for web hosting and a thirst for knowledge. What started as a personal endeavor soon turned into a thriving business. Along the way, he developed a Twitter marketing app, dedicating eight years to its development and learning valuable lessons. However, he discovered that businesses didn't prioritize Twitter as much as he initially thought. Undeterred, Craig redirected his focus to musicians, creating an app to help them book gigs and connect with publications. It was during this time that he encountered a common obstacle: crafting compelling copy. Frustrated with the lack of effective copywriting tools available, Craig took matters into his own hands and created Lead Scripts. He recognized that many entrepreneurs faced the same paralysis when it came to crafting impactful copy and saw an opportunity to go beyond the 80% who give up. His solution was to provide entrepreneurs with a tool that would streamline the copywriting process and propel their businesses forward. Contrary to his initial concerns, niching down with Lead Scripts didn't limit Craig's success. In fact, it proved to be the catalyst for his rapid growth. Within no time, Lead Scripts was generating over $10,000 per month. Craig wasted no time in launching a minimal viable product and advertising it to the world. While he received initial orders, he also encountered refund requests from customers whose expectations weren't met. However, he didn't let this deter him. He recognized the importance of user feedback and utilized it to improve and refine Lead Scripts. Craig's commitment to continuous improvement paid off when he submitted Lead Scripts to AppSumo. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with sales totaling $13,000 in the first week alone. The feedback he received during this period allowed him to further enhance the tool. Over the course of a year, Craig refined and perfected Lead Scripts, leveraging user feedback to create a product that truly meets the needs of entrepreneurs. Lead Scripts goes beyond typical copywriting tools by incorporating lifecycle marketing strategies. It helps you generate customer avatars, enabling you to understand your target market on a deeper level. By knowing their hobbies, preferred hangout spots, and other essential details, you can create tailored marketing campaigns that resonate with your audience. Exciting developments are on the horizon for Lead Scripts, including the introduction of wizards to guide users through its various features. The more you use Lead Scripts, the smarter it becomes, adapting to your unique needs and delivering even more value. While some may compare it to free alternatives like ChatGPT, Lead Scripts offers a comprehensive and in-depth marketing plan that can transform your business. Real-world success stories speak volumes about the power of Lead Scripts. One client, who had never used AI before, saw remarkable results by simply leveraging the tool's pre-made scripts and tweaking their ads. They went from having a single subscriber to over 300 in the first month alone. If you're an underdog entrepreneur starting from scratch, Craig's advice is simple yet profound: leverage the wealth of knowledge available in libraries and utilize the numerous free tools at your disposal. When faced with challenges, remember that many before you have encountered similar obstacles but have given up. Persistence is key, so keep pushing forward and never give up. Success doesn't happen overnight, but by putting in the effort.
