What are you doing to grow and improve your life?We all want to be the best version of ourselves, make more money, and have better and more intimate relationships.Now, think about highly successful people like athletes and entertainers. They all want to improve their craft, so how do they do it? A common denominator with them is that they all have coaches, mentors, or others experienced in their field.These coaches and mentors can give them feedback and hold them accountable for growing and improving. When you work with someone with more experience than you who has accomplished what you wish to accomplish, you can shave weeks, months, or even years off your learning curve.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I talk about why you’re not succeeding in your life and business, why everyone needs a coach or mentor in their lives, and how my 90 Day Fully Expressed Challenge can help you achieve fast and long-lasting changes in your everyday life.

Are you letting your past dictate your future?All the pain and trauma we experienced in our lives have created who we are today. Some people use their past as an excuse as to why they aren’t living the lives they believe they deserve, while others use their past as a way to not only create life-changing success but also as a way to help others overcome their own trauma. It’s up to you to decide which path you take. In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview entrepreneur, real estate extraordinaire, certified life coach, Master NLP Practitioner, badass Ironman, and most of all, devoted father and husband: Dan GriebDan Grieb believes that life is 10% what happens to you, & 90% how you respond to it.By applying this mindset to every aspect of his life – from fatherhood to business, health to wealth, and everything in between, Dan has been able to become one of the top real estate agents in Central Florida, complete multiple Ironman events, and create a beautiful family life despite his past trauma.

Do you have what it takes to become successful?Success isn’t elusive or exclusive. It’s not a riddle or puzzle with a lucky few people holding the clues. Success requires a plan, dedication, resilience, and for you to be horny for life and all of its opportunities. In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview entrepreneur, Amazon industry expert, award-winning business mogul, author, filmmaker, and inventor of Herbal Ecstacy: Shaahin CheyeneWith an entrepreneurial career that has spanned more than 30 years, Shaahin has generated over $350 Million.

What can you do today that you were not capable of a year ago?Do you find that that new skill has become easy and uninteresting? After all, the process of learning and mastering a new skill is repetition.It’s this repetition that threatens our progress - how many people do you know who do the same thing every day, year after year, and never grow or change? While becoming an expert through repetition is crucial to our success, we need to find a way to freshen up our lives and routines if we want to continue to achieve new and wonderful things.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I talk about why boredom is the enemy of success, how to find ways to freshen up your life, and why auditing your day is one of the best ways to improve.

What’s stopping you from quitting your job and starting a business?You’d be surprised to learn that for most of us, the answer is fear.Fear of failure, fear of uncertainty, and fear of other people’s opinions. What we don’t realize is that, when we embrace that fear, we open ourselves up to a new life full of opportunities and possibilities!In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview entrepreneur, business coach, and founder of Urban20Something: Leah Gervais.After years of preparing to become a lawyer, Leah had a gut feeling that she was making the wrong decision and decided to refuse acceptance into law school.With this newfound freedom and uncertainty, Leah immersed herself in the online world of entrepreneurship and founded Urban20Something - her first side hustle blog with one goal in mind - to help younger professionals successfully scale an online side hustle to the point of it exceeding the usual 9-5 job.Since then, Leah has turned this side hustle into a full-size, 7-figure business, and is passionate about helping her clients prioritize their dreams, all while achieving financial freedom.

What do you want your life to look like in 5 years? Take a moment to think about it. Now ask yourself, “Who do I need to become in order to live that life?”Creating positive change in ourselves is one of the most important steps when it comes to achieving success, but in order for this change to remain permanent, it needs to be done slowly over time.When you teach your puppy a new command, does the puppy immediately remember and follow along? Or do you need to practice repetition and give your puppy rewards?The same thing goes for us. The greatest success stories don’t happen overnight, they happen over time. In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I talk about how to start implementing positive change into your life, why our past predicts our future, and how you can keep yourself motivated to create the life of your dreams.

Should you have a credit card?While some people believe that having a credit card is dangerous and only leads to debt and money problems, many others believe that it is one of the best ways to build your credit score and obtain access to “other people’s money,” like loans and mortgages.Wherever your beliefs lie, there’s no doubt in saying that successful people are exceptionally good at using the credit system to their advantage. In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview entrepreneur, attorney, and CEO of  Black Crown Inc. and Black Crown Law APC: Christopher M Naghibi.Chris Naghibi is an author, licensed attorney, real estate broker, and general contractor, who serves as the Executive Vice President – Chief Credit Officer of First Foundation Bank.With strong credit skills and broad experience in multifamily, commercial, and single-family residential real estate lending, Chris has made it his mission to provide financial literacy with a focus on real estate as a tool for building wealth.If you’re wanting to learn what the average person can do to become more financially stable, how to combat self-doubt when it comes to financial literacy, and how to evaluate and build credit, then this episode is for you!

What is your story?You might be thinking that your experiences and past are not worth sharing, but the reality is each and every one of us has a story to share that can and will impact the lives of others.It’s through the sharing of our experiences that we not only get to help other people, we also get to help ourselves.In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview entrepreneur, coach, international best-selling author, and world-class speaker: JB Owen.JB Owen is a fearless female leader and highly successful entrepreneur. Having built businesses that span the globe, JB’s true focus is on helping others.

What is stopping you from living the life of your dreams?We all have goals and dreams, so why do only a few achieve them?The answer is simple: Honor and Integrity.

In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview a marketing expert and the founder and CEO of SkillBank: Mehak Vohra.Mehak started her career as a Computer Science student at Purdue University. That was until she decided to drop out of college in 2016 after getting clear on her vision of building the most scalable marketing agency in the world, but there was still one thing she was missing - the necessary skills required to do so. Mehak decided to throw herself in the deep end and learn as much as she could. After 4 years of running a top media company, she was generating 1-3 million+ views per month on LinkedIn alone.This real-world experience made Mehak realize that she had learned things that her college peers did not. She knew she needed to help others gain the same experience that she had, which is how SkillBank was brought to life. SkillBank is an online training program for people looking to thrive in the marketing world. They have helped hundreds of people achieve this goal and are on a mission to impact thousands of lives by teaching them the necessary skills required to make their dreams attainable.

Is your peer group helping you grow or holding you back?It goes back to the famous quote by Jim Rohn, “You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” What many of us fail to realize is that the best way to start leveling up our lives is to change our environment from one that is filled with doubt and pessimism to one filled with support, encouragement, and guidance. In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview real estate investor, coach, Podcast host, and one of M1’s Whole-Life Millionaires: Paul Thompson.Paul Thompson was already a millionaire when he joined M1 in 2019, but while he had his finances in check, he lacked an essential component to living the Whole-Life Millionaire Lifestyle - a peer group of high-achievers who help each other create epic results in health, relationships, bucket list adventures, and wealth.Since investing in himself and joining M1, Paul has not only increased his net worth, he has also created lifelong friendships, achieved massive personal growth, gone on epic adventures, and is the healthiest he has ever been.

Are you investing in real estate?What most people don’t realize is that real estate is so much more than just buying a house to live in. Not only is real estate a great investment, but it is also one of the best ways to start building an epic life for you and your family. In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview two badass real estate investors and coaches: Kyara and Khalil Uqdah A.K.A Charm City Buyers Kyara and Khalil Uqdah, are the co-founders of Charm City Buyers, a multi-seven figure real estate development firm specializing in Baltimore properties. They also run the NEXTGen Accelerator program, which has helped hundreds of mentees across the country find, finance, and renovate investment properties in six months or less. Khalil and Kyara have developed a proven, results-based system that allows them to have extraordinary success in Real Estate Investing. Their mission is to teach fellow Millennials and Gen Xers how to build a tremendous amount of wealth in a very short period of time.

Are you a good leader?Success in business can be boiled down to two things: Leadership and Leverage.A good leader knows how to motivate and bring out the best in people. A good leader also knows that in order for a business to grow, they need to leverage a badass team to make it happen. Without these two things, you end up owning a job instead of owning a business. In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview a real estate investor and M1 member who used leadership and leverage to become a Whole-Life Millionaire - Rory Cummins.Rory grew up in Charlotte NC and did what he thought he had to do: go to college, get a degree, and get a job. After graduating and working for a few years as a new home builder and salesman, he’d had enough and decided it was time to fulfill a dream of world travel. The experience was life-changing, Rory met his wife while traveling and knew there had to be more to life than the daily grind and working 80+ hours a week. In his search for “more”, Rory discovered M1 Mastermind. Since joining M1, he has flipped over 13 homes, maintained an epic portfolio of Airbnbs, taken his net worth from 6 figures to over $2 million, used leverage to cut his workweek in half (while doubling his income!), gone on bucket list adventures, and made life long authentic relationships.

Do you believe you can make your greatest wish come true?Many people believe that by putting their dreams out into the universe, they will become reality. While that might be a very important first step, dreams will only be dreams until we use focused energy and get to work.In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview actress, coach, and founder of Wishbeads: Alexa Fischer Alexa believes that you can achieve almost anything you wish for by getting clear on what you want, making that declaration to the universe, and putting in the work. “When you open your mind to possibilities, let go of fear and do the work, amazing things happen.”Alexa has been using these methods for years! They helped her get into The Yale School of Drama, land spots on epic shows like NCIS, CSI, Numb3rs, and Bones, take her Jewelry line, Wishbeads, to over $1 million in sales, and create online courses taken by over 130K students all over the world.

What’s the one thing you wish to accomplish before you die? What are the steps you need to take to make it happen? Too often we get wrapped up with the obstacles and end up talking ourselves out of the things that light us up. Instead of thinking about all of the reasons you can’t do something–think about the ‘how.’  Focusing on obstacles only leads to inaction, and the price of inaction is far greater than the price of making a mistake.In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview an investor and M1 member who has truly embodied the Whole-Life Millionaire lifestyle - David Downs. David has stepped away from a scarcity mindset and he’s getting sh*t done! Before joining M1, David was grinding away at a corporate job during the day and had a net worth of $50,000. After saying YES, taking the leap, and joining M1, he knew he had to channel his focus into becoming an entrepreneur, and has taken his net worth to a whopping $10 million in only 5 years!It’s incredible how much you can accomplish with the right mindset and a tribe of badasses who will support, encourage, and challenge you every step of the way.

Do you believe you are worthy of success, love, and happiness?Many of us are scarred by our past experiences, leading us to have a skewed view of our true value and self-worth, and ultimately unable to experience growth or success.Only when we identify and address those extreme emotional events from our past head-on, can we live a life in abundance.  In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview Michele Molitor, a nationally recognized speaker, certified executive coach, Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) practitioner, consultant, trainer, writer, and hypnotist who has helped countless individuals break through barriers and regain their confidence and self-worth!Michele is the founder and CEO of Nectar Consulting Inc., and co-author of the best-selling book “Breakthrough Healing”. With over 25 years of experience, Michele is an expert at enhancing the capacity of leaders, building high-performing teams, and exponentially increasing bottom-line results.  Her passion and unique Rapid Rewiring approach help others amplify their natural talents and expand their leadership throughout all aspects of their lives.

Everybody needs a coach or mentor. Some of the world's most successful athletes, entrepreneurs, and actors have coaches. Take a look at Michael Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio, and even Oprah Winfrey. They all attribute a large part of their success to having a coach or mentor. A good mentor will empower you to achieve things you never believed were possible. In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview a fellow real estate investor, mentee, and one of M1’s Whole-Life Millionaires - Josh StampsJosh is a high-energy, professional, top-producing real estate investor and realtor who uses his 14+ years of experience and extensive market knowledge to help buyers, sellers, and investors acquire and sell properties.Since joining M1 in March of 2020, Josh TRIPLED his net worth, created a 6-figure stock portfolio, acquired several rental properties, started a real estate flipping business, became a master of his mindset, health, and fitness, has been on extreme adventures around the world, and has a stronger relationship with his family than ever before!It just goes to show that when you surround yourself with the right people, anything is possible.

What would you do if money wasn't an obstacle in your life? Think about it, you could dedicate more time to your family, go on epic adventures, and give back to your community. Instead, most of us live with the employee mindset. We believe we have to trade our time for money and in that process, give up our family, health, and relationships in order to survive. But all of that can be changed when we start shifting our mindset from that of an employee to that of an investor.   In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview one of the most badass real estate investors I know - Cody Bjugan.Cody had his first child at the age of 19. He knew he needed to provide so he did what most would - he gave up his dreams and started a career as a flooring salesman.While this was a step in the right direction, Cody was motivated by his desire to provide an extraordinary life for his family, which led him to find a “backdoor into the real estate development industry.”19 years later, Cody has developed over 2,300 lots/units of raw dirt to create almost $1 BILLION in revenue from residential real estate development.That’s why, in 2019, he founded VestRight where he teaches others a simple way to create 5 to 7-figure paydays from off-market land deals without owning or developing the land, without debt, and with very little cash at risk.

What stands between you and success? For some, it’s a lack of knowledge and a supportive environment, for others, it’s the fear of failure.  So, how do you solve these problems? Of course, there is no one-size-fits-all solution, but my M1 Mastermind comes close. In M1, you'll learn how to master your mindset, WIN the money game, and you’ll be surrounded by a group of badass people who will support, encourage, and challenge you to achieve greatness.  In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I am super stoked to feature Michael Jones, a real estate investor, CFO at Texas Home Loan Pro, and one of M1’s Whole-Life Millionaires. Michael joined M1 in 2017 to level up his life by surrounding himself with high-achieving individuals. Since then, he’s acquired 6 single-family homes, a massive 34 acres project, and has taken his net worth from $250k to over $2.5 million!Michael has truly embodied the Whole-Life Millionaire Lifestyle and believes that he is called to live abundantly and share that abundance in hopes of inspiring others to achieve their greatest potential.

What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?Would you quit your job start a new business? Or would you sell everything and travel the world?Too often we worry about what society will think if we stray away from the “normal way of life,” and as a result, end up unhappy, unfulfilled, and trapped inside of the box.My guest today on the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life Podcast, is Darren McMahon. Darren knew it was time to live life differently after overcoming a decades-long battle with epilepsy. He decided to change everything in his life: his environment, his peer group, and his way of thinking. This new way of living helped him grow and become a master certified neuro performance strategist, a top-tier business coach to individuals and high-level executives around the world, and a master salesman, generating over 100 million dollars in sales during his career.Darren has been deeply involved in the personal development arena for the past twenty years and as a result has become an international trainer, peak performance strategist, and speaker who has impacted thousands of lives.He has always had a passion for motivating and inspiring others and has been committed to living a life based on gratitude, integrity, resilience, constant growth, and giving back.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Darren shares how changing his environment helped him become a 6 figure earner, The message behind his book, “Only Dead Fish Go with the Flow,” and why he prefers the old school mentors.

What would you do if you tripled your income?While that is a thought-provoking question, I think the real question we should ask ourselves is: Who do I need to become in order to triple my income?We all have the ability to achieve those results, but not everyone has put in the work to create the habits, rituals, and routines that are needed to do so. In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I am privileged to feature Rolando Archila, a badass M1 member and entrepreneur, who not only tripled his income but also recently hit the Whole-Life Millionaire mark!Rolando is a nomadic entrepreneur, creative storyteller, real estate investor, and marketing strategist. A global citizen—born in Guatemala, educated by Austrians, careered in the US—he is passionately driven to maximize his personal freedom, his impact on the world, and his creative potential every day.Rolando joined M1 in 2020 with the expectation of upgrading his circle of influence in order to reach the next level.What he got was so much more! In the space of two short years, Rolando was able to think bigger, create authentic relationships, invest in real estate, create an epic crypto portfolio, TRIPLE his income, and hit the millionaire milestone!

What is your one thing?What is the one thing that you are so good at that you could turn into a profitable business?So many people get distracted and end up chasing the new shiny object, and as a result, are never able to achieve a level of mastery and success in their lives.The most successful people in the world become masters of their craft first, and only then begin diversifying into other areas. John Lee Dumas is truly a master of his craft.As the host of Entrepreneurs on Fire, an award-winning podcast, John has interviewed over 3000 inspiring Entrepreneurs who are truly ON FIRE. His goal is to deliver the inspiration and strategies you need to FIRE UP your entrepreneurial journey and create the life you’ve always dreamed of.He discovered that when you pour yourself into your one thing, you are able to achieve successes that you could have never imagined.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, John shares how the military gave him the discipline he needed to kickstart his career, why he loves living his life in Puerto Rico, and why we need to support the new generation of innovators.

Nothing has meaning but the meaning you give it.What that means is, you decide how you respond to the circumstances presented to you every day. Do you focus on the money you lost in the stock market or on the lessons you learned and the experience you gained? Do you focus on giving the best presentation of your life or on not making any mistakes?At the end of the day, it’s up to you to decide whether you are the victim or the victor of your life. Sean Swarner was diagnosed with two deadly, different, and unrelated forms of cancer, once at the age of thirteen and again at the age of sixteen. His chances of survival were so low, he’d have had a better chance of winning the lottery multiple times with the same numbers! But that didn’t stop him.With a belief of “you attract what you focus on,” Sean defied the odds and survived. He went on to redefine the impossible by being the first cancer survivor to climb to the top of Mt. Everest, with only one lung!From there he stood atop the highest point on all 7 continents, skied to the South and North Poles, and completed the Hawaii Ironman. Sean also serves as a source of inspiration as the founder of the non-profit organization, The CancerClimber Association, as the author of the book “Keep Climbing,” and as a motivational speaker to corporations, universities, and other organizations around the globe.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Sean shares how he was able to beat cancer twice, why he chose to climb to the highest peak in the world, and how he is dedicated to helping others tap into their inner power and potential.

There's a saying that I tell new M1 members that goes something like this: “Making your first million dollars is the hardest, making your second million is inevitable.” This is because you’ve created the habits of a millionaire. Some people hit that milestone sooner than others do, but if there’s one thing I’ve realized over the years is that those who join mastermind groups like M1 reach that millionaire milestone way before anyone else. In this week’s episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I am privileged to feature one of the biggest badass Whole-Life Millionaires that M1 has helped create. Gogo Bethke is a realtor, investor, and has been proclaimed the “social media queen," having built her wealth using social media platforms.Gogo has been in the real estate space since 2011, having conducted over 200 transactions equaling about $75 million.

Do you know anyone that’s worked with Sir Elton John or Elon Musk, sent people down to see the wreck of the Titanic on the sea bed or closed museums in Florence for a private dinner party and then had Andre Bocelli serenade them while they eat their pasta?Quoted as “The Real Life Wizard of Oz" by Forbes and Entrepreneur Magazine, Steve Sims is the best-selling author of "BLUEFISHING - The Art Of Making Things Happen”, sought-after coach, and motivational speaker at a variety of networks.At a glance, Steve is a man who you’d probably avoid making eye contact with, but that’s the thing, because despite his gruff exterior, Steve is remarkably open, engaging, generous, intuitive, insightful, and competent – and he’s built a remarkably successful entrepreneurial career.Not only is Steve a badass author, he is also the visionary founder of the world’s first luxury concierge that delivers the highest level of personalized travel, transportation, and cutting-edge entertainment services to corporate executives, celebrities, professional athletes, and other discerning individuals interested in living life to its fullest.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Steve shares how he went from being a bouncer to catering for the worlds wealthiest people, a quote from his early years that completely changed his life, and why his book might make you mad enough to take action in your life.

We live in a society where most people are addicted to instant gratification. What that means is we want change now, we want growth now, we want to 10x our investments now. Very few people are willing to play the long game when it comes to creating wealth, even though it’s the best way to do so. Briton Hill demonstrated a natural talent for investing from a young age, starting his journey by investing his earned money into silver and gold coins.When Briton turned 16, his father introduced him to an investment newsletter called The Weber Global Opportunities Report by legendary investor, Chris Weber, who made his first million as a teenager in the precious metals market back in the 1970s.Briton was hooked and began following Chris’ bi-weekly reports and recommendations which helped him achieve financial freedom by the time he turned 21.Today, Briton is the spokesperson for Weber Global Management.

Is all debt bad debt?Some people say debt is good, especially when you leverage other people’s money to purchase real estate and other cash-flowing assets. Others say that any type of debt is the worst thing you can have! The thing is, only those who weren’t taught how to respect and utilize debt to their advantage end up getting trapped by it. Anthony O'Neal grew up with a strong spiritual background and a loving family who taught him about the Christian faith and how to live life following the law. The problem?

What is your addiction? We tend to think of drugs or alcohol, but addiction shows up in many ways . . . like work or even your cell phone. We use these addictions to escape.

What does true happiness look like for you? Most people believe that they will find happiness once they have become famous, wealthy, or successful. But the hard truth is that happiness is not something that can be bought or given to you by someone else. It's something we have to create for ourselves. Kristina Mand-Lakhiani, co-founder of the world-renowned global educational organization, Mindvalley, advocates that everyone is 100% responsible for their happiness in life. She believes that life is too important to be taken seriously and brings joy and love into everything she does.  Kristina has impacted thousands of lives by teaching people that the journey to finding true happiness isn’t the rosy picture so often painted for us. In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Kristina and I discuss why she is so passionate about teaching people how to discover true happiness, how she came to co-found Mindvalley, and why it’s the connections we make in our lifetime that really matter.

Are you still trading your time for money? So many people are living paycheck to paycheck, doing the 9 to 5, and praying that one day, they will achieve financial freedom and whole life fulfillment.What they fail to realize is that this won’t be achieved at a day job. The best way to achieve this is to invest in businesses and other passive income vehicles. Prior to joining M1, Steve and Linzee Ciprani were constantly trading their time for money. Steve was an educator in his local school district and Linzee was a new entrepreneur tackling real estate and her business, Ciprani Consulting. Between focusing on making ends meet and raising a new family, they were finding it extremely difficult to excel in other important parts of life: health and relationships. It wasn’t until joining M1 that they truly began to grow not only in their business ventures, but also in their health, wealth, and their relationships.Since then, Steve and Linzeee have become masters of scaling businesses, creating systems, implementing procedures, and helping others grow through education, training, and coaching.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, we discuss what life was like before joining M1, how a lack of awareness can be the one thing holding you back, and why it’s so important to start investing in cash-flowing assets.

What was that one moment that completely changed your life?We’ve all experienced them.

(on the assumption that it is all good. Not trying to speak to the negative) After receiving a late diagnosis of Asperger’s and experiencing what can only be described as life-shattering trauma at the age of just 20, Daniel Mangena spent the next seven years struggling to keep these revelations and events from spilling into every area of his life. As a result of his struggles, he built a simple, four-step system called the Beyond Intention Paradigm.Initially built as a lifeline grappling with suicidal thoughts, Beyond Intention transformed Daniel’s life from misery to celebration. Daniel has since impacted thousands of lives and wants nothing more than to share the tools that saved his life with others.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Daniel and I discuss what life was like after his aspergers diagnosis, how he overcame his scarcity mindset, and why he is so passionate about helping others reach their full potential.

What is your relationship with money?You might be great at making it, but terrible at keeping it, or maybe you just avoid speaking about money altogether because it’s “rude to talk about it.” What you might not realize is that the beliefs and feelings you have about money were passed down to you. Only once you have that awareness, can you create more empowering beliefs around money.  Robert Gill grew up in the tough, rough and tumble town of Bayonne, New Jersey. His Dad struggled working three jobs to support his Mom and four children. Although there was no shortage of love, his life was centered around money scarcity, alcohol and drug abuse, and a constant feeling of fear when it came to planning and preparing for the future. Robert knew he had to do something to change the direction his life was headed, so he set out with the sole purpose of learning everything there is to know about money and to provide much-needed financial education so no one has to experience the pain and helplessness that his family did.​In the last 20 years of working in the financial services space, Robert and his team have done over 23,000 cash flow analyses and over 10,000 financial plans, helping thousands of people create financial freedom.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Robert and I discuss how personal development helped him take his company to new levels, why he has a deep need to connect with and help others, and how he became a master of finances.

She was faced with deaths, divorce, addiction, and a belief system that was given to her by her father. Tracy decided it was time for a clean slate. She cut ties with her career and all negative people who were holding her back, dove headfirst into a network marketing & leadership opportunity, and went from $0 to $1 Million in income in only two short years. Since then, Tracy has gone on to build a multi-million dollar organization and has coached thousands of people in leadership and communication. In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Tracy and I discuss how she overcame past trauma and addiction, how to look for the opportunities in every failure, and why we need to be able to tap into both our masculine and feminine sides.

Cash-flowing assets literally saved AJ’s family and it could save yours too.In this episode of the Rock Your Money Rock Your Life, AJ and I discuss how he built up his 100 million dollar real estate portfolio, how he was able to support his family whilst paralyzed in hospital, and the main difference between being rich and being wealthy.

Close your eyes and think about the thing you want more than anything in the world. Now imagine that everything you encounter is trying to stop you from getting it. You fail twice, ten times, fifty times, but each attempt gets you one step closer to that goal. Now ask yourself, “Do I have what it takes to be the world’s greatest and make it happen, no matter what?”Kyle Wilson has worked with the top names in the personal development industry including his 18-year business partner, friend, and mentor Jim Rohn, as well as Og Mandino, Brian Tracy, Les Brown, Darren Hardy, Robin Sharma, Mark Victor Hansen, Jack Canfield, and found that each and every one of them share one very important trait - persistence.When life stepped in their way, when they failed, when the world turned its back on these individuals, they got back up and started again. Kyle has filled huge seminar rooms, launched and published multiple personal development publications with over a million subscribers, and has produced/published over 100+ hours ofDVD and CD programs.He now does high-end coaching & consulting, hosts the Kyle Wilson Inner Circle Mastermind, and has helped over 200 people became #1 Best Selling Published Authors, hitting multiple #1 Best Selling books.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Kyle and I discuss why he decided to take 7 years off, why it is way more beneficial growing your following organically than it is buying them, and why so many people can’t seem to make any progress.

I’m sure at some point in your life you’ve seen a Greyhound chase a rabbit around a race track. They run as fast as they can in pursuit of this rabbit, but do they ever catch it? No.It is always just out of reach. You’d think the dogs would give up after the 3rd, 10th, or even the 50th time chasing it. But they never do. Every single time they see that rabbit they run as hard and as fast as they can to get to it.This is how many of us live our lives in the pursuit of fulfillment. We set goals thinking that once we achieve them we will be truly happy and fulfilled… but we aren’t.So we set another goal with the same intentions. And then another and another.

Do you ever end up in the trap of “I’ll do it later,” or “I’ll do it tomorrow,” but things never seem to get done?When you keep on telling yourself that you’re going to do things, and you don’t end up doing them, you end up hurting your own self-confidence, which leads to you doubting your ability to actually do the thing you want to do, which leads you to… more nothing.Procrastination is a never-ending cycle IF you ALLOW yourself to be trapped by it.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I talk about the two characteristics of highly successful people, why your identity can be your greatest ally or biggest foe, three simple steps that you can use to overcome your procrastination.

Have you found yourself at a crossroads lately when it comes to building the life of your dreams?After losing his father in 2007 and taking a major hit as a restaurant owner in the 2008 economic crisis, Gino realized that he was at a crossroads. He didn’t know whose dream he was building, his own, or that of his late father. Fueled with anger at everything that transpired, Gino decided that he wouldn’t pity himself or play the victim, but to rather take action and make sure that he would be prepared for anything that came his way.Today, Gino Barbaro is an investor, business owner, author, entrepreneur, and loving husband and father. He is the co-founder of Jake &​ Gino, a multifamily real estate education company that offers coaching and training in real estate founded upon their proprietary framework of Buy Right, Manage Right &​ Finance Right.Gino is also the best-selling author of three books, Wheelbarrow Profits, The Honey Bee, and Family, Food and the Friars.  In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, Gino and I discuss how the world has changed around us in ways that we never anticipated, how he went from taking a massive hit in 2008 to owning over 1600 doors, and why he loves teaching others to be successful in real estate.

Our biggest fear as humans is that we’re not worthy, we’re not enough, and that we won’t be loved. Your ability to control this fear will be the deciding factor on whether or not you will make a good salesperson or “Rainmaker”.Every farmer in the world understands that a portion of their crop will spoil or get eaten. Just like the best salespeople in the world understand that 10 - 15% of the people they call are going to say no, are going to shout at them, are going to be rude, and treat them poorly.What they also understand is that this rejection not, in any way, personal. They don’t let it compromise their emotions and affect their future calls.There will always be a percentage of rotten apples, however, it’s time to learn how to take rejection in your stride and look at all the potential, not only in your prospects but also in your life. In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I talk about how to overcome your fear of rejection, how to use fruits and vegetables to become a better lead generator and Rainmaker.

Are you living in the past, the future, or the now? Living in the moment can be such a profoundly powerful thing, but how often do we do it? How often do we look at our lives and see all the things that we have instead of everything we lack?We can acquire all the tools to become successful, but until we live in the present and look at life with abundance, the success we’re searching for will always be just out of reach.Having started his own business at the age of 16, and since running 13 companies ranging from music studios to a publishing company, Brian established himself as a truly experienced entrepreneur. But he never achieved any significant success in these businesses. It was only after letting go of the past, adjusting his self-image, and looking at life from an abundant point of view, that he began to find true success. Brian is now a self-made multimillionaire and a leading authority on entrepreneurship and human behavior. He is the founder of The REAL Entrepreneur™ Institute, a private research and education organization dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs to live successful lives. His vision is to create a community of over 5 million entrepreneurs throughout the world and to help as many of them as possible to achieve true wealth, meaning, and freedom in their lives.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, Brian and I discuss the extraordinary lessons he learned from his father, why he has a passion for helping aspiring entrepreneurs, and how most people are trapped in the ‘survivalist’ mentality.

If I asked you to tell me exactly what you wanted to achieve, would you be able to do it?You’ll be surprised at the number of people who can’t. They want so many things yet nothing is freaking fracking crystal clear. So they wander around for a bit and then give up, dropping their head in the process.There are many things we need to do in order to achieve success, but the VERY FIRST THING that we HAVE to do is know EXACTLY what we want. By doing this, we can reverse engineer and break down the steps we need to take in order to achieve that thing. This is one of the many reasons why Tom Brady is one of the greatest players of all time.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I talk about why Tom Brady has been so successful in his Football career, the essential traits and habits that you need to have in order to be successful, and how to find the clues hidden within the success of others.

Are you happy where you are in your life? If not, why don’t you change it?There are two types of people who aren’t successful: 1) Those who don’t know what to do and are fishing around in the dark, and 2) Those who know exactly what to do but don’t do anything.Only you can change your life. Nicholas Bayerle was unhealthy, unconfident, and constantly searching for the approval of his father.But everything changed one day, and it all started with a bag of fruit (more on this in the episode!)Nicholas became a fit 7-figure businessman, was named a top 30 under 30 Influencer and has been featured in numerous media outlets such as Forbes. He is also the founder of The Billion Dollar Body movement and podcast, having interviewed top entrepreneurs in the industry like Russell Brunson, Grant Cardone, Jay Abraham, Patrick Bet-David, Dan Lok, and Peng Joon.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, Nicholas and I discuss how a bag of fruit changed his life, why he was inspired to create the Billion Dollar Brotherhood, and how their mission is changing lives. 

No one born on this planet has had it completely problem-free their whole life.  Take me for example. I grew up on a farm with my Dad who pushed me to my breaking point, every…single…day. As I got older I faced real estate losses, divorce, financial issues with my parents - the list goes on.There were many reasons for me to give up and live an average life, but I chose to keep on pushing.You see, becoming a millionaire is ultimately a choice. I chose to work hard. I chose to surround myself with high-achievers and other millionaires. I chose to find experienced mentors to guide me. I chose to be grateful for what I have instead of focusing on what I didn’t have. YOUR success is YOUR choice. In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I talk about the differences between millionaires and the middle-class and how you can begin to make the change and become a Whole-Life Millionaire.

We all experience adversity in some shape or form, but if we don't acknowledge it, we stop ourselves from seeing the beauty in what it taught us  Diane Dewey never expected that she would meet her biological parents in her late 40s. She was led to believe her entire life that they were both dead. She immediately got the urge to know them more so she could learn more about her roots and confront past trauma and beliefs of not being enough after being abandoned by her biological parents.Diane believes that it is only when we acknowledge a troubled past that we are then able to move on and heal for a better future. In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, Diane and I talk about what it was like finding out her biological parents were still alive, how we’re too caught up in the hustle and bustle that we forget to keep ourselves in check, and why intuition is one of our greatest gifts.

How do you keep moving forward in spite of fear, doubt, and worry? How do you get fired up or motivated, even if things aren’t going well?The answer? ENERGYBut how do you keep up high levels of energy in order to stay motivated and push yourself to the next level?In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I talk about how to maintain high levels of energy to stay fired up and motivated, why the only way to change the results of tomorrow is to make small adjustments today, and why you need to let go of the past.

Even the most successful individuals can struggle with living a balanced life, or lose sight of what really matters.It’s only when adversity comes along that we are forced to look at life from a new perspective. That's when we realize that there is more to life than the things we can hold in our hands.When Dr. Richard Shuster was in his early 20’s, he was a “selfish, obnoxious, materialistic guy.” This all changed, however, when he was in a car accident and suffered severe injuries to his neck and spine. After making a full recovery, Dr. Richard realized that there was more to life than “things.” He has since dedicated his life to helping others become the best versions of themselves, and as a result, makes the world a better place.Dr. Richard Shuster is a clinical psychologist, keynote speaker, CEO of a psychological assessment company,  renowned media expert, and the host of The Daily Helping with Dr. Richard Shuster: Food for the Brain, Knowledge from the experts, Tools to Win at Life which is regularly downloaded in over 100 countries. In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, Dr. Richard and I discuss how his near-death experience changed his life for the better, why your peer group is one of the most important things when it comes to self-improvement, and the psychology behind growing and improving as an individual.

When you say something over and over and over again, it becomes a belief. Some beliefs are so ingrained in our identities that, not only is it impossible to change, but it stops us from taking action and getting the results we want.We all have beliefs that hold us back. Some might say “I can’t become a millionaire because I’m bad with money,” or “My relationship will never be good because I’m not good at communicating.”Whatever it is, we all have the ability to change our identities, the way we think about ourselves, and ultimately the results we achieve.  In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I talk about why the words you say to yourself are holding you back from achieving your goals, how to be smart and set yourself up for success, and how M1 has helped dozens of people become Whole-Life Millionaires.

How do you react to the things that happen to you? In my experience, there are two types of people. Those who play the victim and use adversity as an excuse to never strive for greatness, and those that take those moments of adversity, make it work FOR them, and become stronger.Henry Kaminski Jr. was at a crossroads. He was on the verge of bankruptcy and could either continue to fail and give up or bet on himself and take another shot.Henry realized that he was the cause of his own problems. So what did he do? He raised his standards, added more value, and began to adapt to the situations around him.He made life happen FOR him. Today, Henry is the founder of Unique Designz, a full-service design, branding, and digital marketing agency, author of the Amazon bestseller, Refuse to give up, the host of the popular BrandDoctor’s Podcast, a self-taught graphic designer, and brand consultant. He has worked with a diverse range of business owners and professionals, including celebrities like Jon Bon Jovi, Fabio Viviani, as well as Internet marketing expert Russell BrunsonIn this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, Henry and I discuss how he saved his business from going bankrupt...twice, the effects of a near-death experience on his outlook on life, and how he helped Richard Brunson’s business achieve 9 figures.

We are currently 16 days into 2021, and I need to ask, are you still on cruise control? Or are you taking on the New Year and staying on course? Most people get pumped up in the new year and promise to make a change in their lives. However, by the time they are two weeks in, motivation is already starting to fizzle out. Well, think about this. If, for 75 days, you did two workouts a day or made 200 phone calls a day, or whatever you wish to achieve, would it not then be easier to do one workout 3 times a week? Or make 150 calls a day? You see, if you IMMERSE yourself, if you go ALL IN, if you’re OBSESSED for a period of time, the things that you once found difficult now become EASY, and instead of taking 5 years to make a change, it took you 6 months.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I talk about how I built my 42 streams of income, the key to making a lifelong change in a short period of time, and how you can take control of your life and move it to the next level.

Good things come to those who wait. How true is this statement? There are people who wait for their “big break,” they wait for when the “time is right,” they wait for “the one.” And then there are people who take action and MAKE IT HAPPEN. You see, you can sit around and wait and hope something comes along, or you can make it happen for yourself.After years of earning a low paying income, Mike realized that he would never be able to retire and support his family if he carried on the way he wasMike spent some time searching for his true calling and decided to break the mold of fear and by allowing himself to ‘’just start.’’ Because of this, he has been able to accomplish things far beyond what he ever thought was possible. Mike’s true passion is helping people to realize their unlimited potential in business and in life!Today, Mike is a real estate investor, podcaster, and speaker who was personally invited to share the stage with Gary Vaynerchuk.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, Mike and I discuss how he became a real estate investor, how he became a guest speaker on stage with Gary Vaynerchuk, and the learning curves of becoming an entrepreneur.

Did you know that approximately 87% of New Year’s Resolutions fail? At the end of each year, most people get pumped up and motivated to make a change. Some commit to losing weight, some commit to making more money, or eating healthily, or to stop smoking. The list is endless. But why is it that come February, most of those resolutions fall by the wayside? In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I talk about the 3 things that are missing in people’s lives when they fail their New Year’s Resolutions, why we lose confidence and begin doubting ourselves, and the other (not covid-19) disease that is currently plaguing us.

George McGehrin worked for Big 4 Consulting in NYC before getting recruited to a small startup in Miami, but it wasn’t long until he found himself unemployed.Jump forward a few months, he started his own firm and found himself with more than 50 clients, all of which were in the same industry.The 2008 economic crisis hit and George lost everything… Again. This left him with two options - give up or learn from the failures and become even better.Today, George is the Founder and President of The McGehrin Group, an avid entrepreneur, an Oxford graduate,an ultramarathon runner, and a true believer in “Make it happen, no matter what!” In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, George and I discuss why he chose not to quit after failing multiple times, the reason he was so well prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic, and how he has the ability to pivot and adapt to any situation and always come out on top.

How often do you get to speak to a Whole-Life Millionaire and ask them questions on how they achieved success in each aspect of their lives?  On this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I have the privilege of doing just that and interviewing some of M1’s very own Whole-Life Millionaires on how they pushed through obstacles to create financial freedom and lives they are truly excited about.⠀⠀Here's a glimpse of who they are:⠀⠀Mike Sjogren went from being a full-time CPA to retiring himself, his wife, and his mother in less than 18 months!⠀⠀Michael Jones leveraged my M1 Mastermind community to grow his real estate portfolio substantially and become a Whole-Life Millionaire.⠀⠀Carolyn Colleen went from standing in line at the Salvation Army as a single mother to earning a Ph.D., launching and scaling a business to replace her 6-figure income⠀⠀Steve and Linzee Ciprani own multiple businesses, properties, have increased their net worth to surpass the millionaire mark, and are just getting warmed up!

2020 has been one of the most difficult years that most of us have faced. The goals that we set out to accomplish were made even more difficult, all thanks to the financial, economic, and health crises that hit us.However, we have seen many people get stronger, grow, improve, become even more creative, get fitter and healthier, and overcome most, if not all obstacles in their way. I even had members in my tribe, M1, achieve their Whole-Life Millionaire status!Why is that? What have they done differently to achieve their success?On this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I take a deep dive into that very question and show you the difference between those that have struggled and those that have thrived in 2020.“You are what you repeatedly do.” 

I often hear about people being burnt out at work. They spend countless hours losing sleep over deadlines and work commitments. They become tired, stop taking care of themselves, and end up falling into depression. This all happens because their lives are out of alignment.“When you feel out of alignment with your health, you’re out of alignment with your purpose. When you’re out of alignment with your purpose, you’re not going to be healthy.” - Amrit SandhuThis is exactly what happened with Amrit. After spending 6 years of his life depressed and out of alignment, he finally came to understand his purpose - Connection. Contribution.

How do you feel when someone says “You’re not good enough”? Do you recoil and give up? Or do you put on your game face and prove them wrong? While battling the struggles and responsibilities of single motherhood, Joni Rogers-Kante developed a business plan and set out to make her dream of an innovative cosmetics company a reality. Time and time again, Joni was told by her close peers that her dreams were ridiculous, that she couldn’t do it, that you need to be a man to run a business.Well, those people lit a fire inside of her, and in 1999, she founded SeneGence®.Since then, the company has grown to over 1 BILLION dollars in yearly sales. To Joni, the commitment to never giving up (and having the right team!) led her to this success. Today, Joni is a loving mother, wife, fearless CEO of Senegence, author of Million Dollar Lips, and a one of a kind BADASS.On this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, Eric and I discuss why it took her 5 years to complete her business plan for SeneGence®, what she believes to be her purpose in life, and how she and her family are adapting to an ever-changing world. 

“Stay in your lane!”. If you’ve ever heard this phrase before, you may know how it feels to be shut down before you can even try new things. It is human nature to want to continuously grow and learn. Yet if we restrict ourselves to the things that we know and the things that make us comfortable, we will never be pushed towards growth. As Jon Beaty says, “If you’re not growing, you’re dying.”As a hand physician, Eric was always told to stay in his lane and not pursue investment opportunities outside his scope of practice. However, with his passion and curiosity for learning new things, that was just not possible for him. He believes that “we have an innate intelligence to learn any new discipline.”It is with this mindset that Eric has been able to not only achieve a net worth of $500 million but to also be an exceptional hand surgeon, and run several successful practices. He also credits his success and balance on the talented and caring individuals around him, who share his passion for meeting and helping others, as well as his loving wife, Kim, and two daughters, Chloe and Cassidy.Today, Eric is a renowned hand surgeon, serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist, published author, philanthropist, founder and CEO of Omega Hospital, New Orleans’s first physician-owned hospital; the Hand Center of Louisiana, where he actively practices; and ERG Enterprises, a $1 billion investment firm committed to changing communities worldwide.On this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, Eric and I discuss how he took the plunge and became a serial entrepreneur, why abundance is so much more than just wealth, and why we should reject the phrase, “Stay in your lane.”

Veenu Keller was 6 years old when she realized that she was different.

By the age of 18, and in search of happiness, Veenu got married and had 2 children. 12 years later, she was a single mother praying for the day that she could leave this earth, wondering why life kept on beating and breaking her down. Then one day, just as Veenu thought that all hope was lost, she attended a life-changing seminar. She realized that she has a gift. She realized that everything that has happened in her life has happened FOR her and not TO her. Veenu realized that all the trials and tribulations that she experienced had made her stronger than ever before, and had given her the ability to help others who are in similar situations.

Are you limiting yourself from success? If you think that you are only capable of living an average life, then that’s what you will experience. But if you believe that you can do anything, from creating Artificial Intelligence systems to climbing Mount Everest, through hard work and determination, you can achieve it.Lomit Patel is yet another perfect example of how the American Dream is possible for any who wish to achieve it. After immigrating to the USA with little money as a grad student, he spent a few years struggling, living below his means, and couch surfing. Despite struggling with homelessness, Lomit Patel made strides with his Artificial Intelligence pursuit.After years of persistence and determination, he finally managed to streamline automation through Artificial Intelligence at early-stage startups including Roku (IPO), TrustedID (acquired by Equifax), Texture (acquired. by Apple), and EarthLink. Today, Lomit is the Vice President of Growth at IMVU, which is the world’s largest avatar-based social networking app, a public speaker, advisor, recognized as a Mobile Hero by Liftoff, and bestselling author of “Lean AI”, which is based on how innovative startups can use artificial intelligence to grow significantly faster.On this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, Lomit and I discuss whether or not our phones are really listening to us, what it was like being an immigrant and achieving a high level of success, and what is up and coming in the online world. 

When you get knocked down, you have two options - you can stay down, or you can get back up and keep going. Adversity is always near and can surprise you when you least expect it. But if you keep on getting back up, you get stronger, smarter, and more resilient.It’s time to get back on your feet and go get your success! After surviving a series of bombings and near-death experiences, Sam Bakhtiar, an 11-year-old refugee, left Iran with his single mother. They arrived in America with $500, one piece of luggage, and a very bright future.He has been knocked down more times than he can remember, but every single time adversity knocked him off his feet, he stood up stronger. Today, Sam is a loving husband and father, a doctor, CEO, author, world-class bodybuilder, and multi-millionaire entrepreneur.

Imagine living each day on repeat. It may come as a shock to some of you, but most people do exactly that. It can make you feel trapped with no purpose, like a hamster on a wheel - running but going nowhere. So how do you free yourself from this cycle?  It is as easy as changing the way you think.Christy had a dream 6 figure corporate job, but after 7 years, she found herself feeling like life had no meaning. She craved purpose, but she didn’t know what that felt like, just that it didn’t feel like this. . . She decided to focus her attention so it could find her. Everything changed on the night Christy began writing her first book.

Do you have an abundant mindset? If so, you’ll often ask yourself, “What’s great about this?” When I got alopecia and lost ALL my hair, I thought to myself, “I will never have another bad hair day.” I found the good in a ‘bad’ moment. Your mindset and perspective are, most often, the only two things standing in your way on the path to greatness.Soon after leaving Corporate America, Mindie faced foreclosure, eviction, and eventually, bankruptcy.She was living out of her car and a small office when she realized that a large part of why she lost it all was due to her mindset around wealth, and her relationship with money.It was during this time that she began making changes in her life and became the founder of Lucra®.

Have you ever been extremely sad and felt like you can't move your body? Or been so happy that you can’t sit still and want to explode?Our emotions have a massive effect on our physical selves. They not only determine whether or not you have a good day, but they also play a huge role in how long you live. My guest James Miller takes us on a deep dive into how, and why this happens.James Miller is the executive producer and host of the nationally broadcasted and syndicated radio show: James Miller | Lifeology. He is a licensed psychotherapist who has been in the mental health field for over 20 years, with 13 years in private practice. Today, James helps people all around the world simplify and transform their spirit, mind, and body.On this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, James and I discuss how he is always able to step up with immense energy, the way we process emotions and how they can affect our physical being, and why James always has a positive outlook on life.

Imagine you always achieve your goals.  And that you are always prepared for any speed bump that you may encounter…  As unreal as that sounds, there IS a foolproof way to always get the results you want. Nigel Guisinger was never the “stud athlete” or “Grade A student." But he IS a visionary and a relentless action-taker.  Nigel has purchased, started, and saved multiple businesses in several different industries. He also lost $5 Million in one phone call. Despite that major setback, he was able to start over and recreate success not only for himself but for the people in his community as well.  In 2013 after seeing his town affected by the economic downturn, Nigel heard countless people say “somebody needs to do something” one too many times.  He purchased a small appliance store and by using his foolproof method and adapting to the ever-changing economic climate, grew it from 350k annual sales to over $9m annual volume.  Today, Nigel is a multiple business owner, husband, father, and a selfless contributor. On this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, Nigel and I discuss the main reason why people don’t reach their goals, why being tenacious and motivated is more important than having straight A’s, and how Nigel’s company, Your Small Business Hub, is helping entrepreneurs take their businesses to the next level.

Life has many ways of challenging us.  Most of the time we are faced with minor inconveniences, but there are times when we are faced with extreme amounts of adversity.  Your success will depend on whether or not you can find the gift and lesson hidden within your pain.  While preparing to deploy with the U.S. Army, Marcus suffered a severe spinal injury that left him paralyzed.  After dying on the operating table twice, the surgeons saved his life but told him he’d never walk again.  Having no other option, Marcus started doing some brutally honest soul searching, looking for the lesson to be learned from his injury.  Once he started seeing his Adversity as a gift instead of a curse, something miraculous began to happen…  Marcus now speaks, writes, inspires, and teaches others to overcome their own adversity and actualize their definition of success. On this episode of the #IAmMovement podcast, Marcus and I discuss the event that drastically changed his life, how our emotions can blind us from the truth, and how Marcus went from being paralyzed and in pain, to find his purpose.

Are you living your dream life, or are you living someone else’s dream?  Many people make big life decisions based on what other people want, which can lead to an unfulfilled life.  How long will you wait before you grab the reins and become the leader you were destined to be? Mike grew up thinking that he would follow in his father's footsteps by becoming a scientist, so he did. He got three science degrees and began his career as a water chemist.  Then everything changed. Three days after 9/11, Mike signed up for the military.  He went on to serve for 8 years, with 1 year on active duty in Iraq.  As harrowing as that sounds, Mike came out alive, on top,  and used the skills and life lessons he’d learned to write 5 books, build and sell 4 companies, and work with over 400 others. Today, Mike is a serial entrepreneur, scientist, speaker, trainer, Army veteran, father, and author of 5 books.   On this episode of the #IAmMovement podcast, Mike and I discuss why he decided to leave his job and join the military, how he overcame the labels he was given in order to follow his dreams, and how he went from being a scientist to being an entrepreneur.

The difference between those who have achieved success and those who have not comes down to how quickly you can pivot and course correct during times of extreme adversity and uncertainty. Today, I speak with Andrew Cushman, who gives some crucial tips and strategies on how to steer through the storm we know as COVID-19.  Starting off with single family properties in the depths of the Great Recession, Andrew completed 27 single family flips, all of which were very profitable. In 2011 Andrew transitioned to the acquisition and repositioning of multifamily properties, acquiring a mostly vacant 92 unit property on the other side of the country as a first deal.   That first property was eventually sold for several times its original purchase price, and Andrew now acquires B Class, value-add properties throughout the Southeast. In total, Andrew and his team have acquired and repositioned over 1,800 multifamily units to date.  Outside of the business world, Andrew has been a certified alpine ski instructor, and when not working in real estate, he enjoys surfing, backcountry skiing, and trying to not be outwitted by his two little boys. On this episode of the #IAmMovement podcast, Andrew and I discuss how he transitioned from chemical engineer to becoming a top real estate investor with 1,800 units, why he decided to start reducing acquisitions in 2017, and how the stock market and real estate react differently when faced with an economic crisis. 

Are you following a default life plan? Growing up, many of us believed that true success came from degrees, a corporate job, buying a house, and working the 9-5 until retirement. You can choose this path and you might find fulfillment. Or you lead a life by your design, filled with passion, success, achievement, and true freedom. Paul Thompson followed the default life plan of going to school and working in a corporate job. He had money and a loving family, he was living a comfortable life. What Paul didn’t have was time, fulfillment, and true freedom, but he kept working due to fear and uncertainty. Paul finally realized that he wasn't creating his own dream, he was creating someone else's dream.  Paul began buying cash flowing rental properties. He built a business of buying property at deep discounts and creating residual streams of income so he didn't have to rely on clocking into a job. Paul swore that he wouldn't live a default life anymore, and began to lead a life by design. Today, Paul is a real estate investor, entrepreneur, loving husband and father, mentor, and host of the Ready Investor One podcast. On this episode of the #IAmMovement podcast, Paul and I discuss how he transitioned from creating someone else's success to creating his own, how he achieves fulfillment by helping and teaching others, and why the one percent rule is extremely important when buying real estate.

Have you ever been told that you are not good enough? That you don’t have what it takes? This experience can lead you down a road of doubt and leave you with a false sense of your identity. There will always be people that will try to bring you down, but all it takes one person who truly believes in you to turn all of that around. It was in grade 10 that Dr. Jay Grossman’s English teacher told him that he would never amount to anything. “I felt like I got punched in the face without even knowing I was in a fight,” he recalled. It was an extreme emotional event that stayed with him to this day. The next year however, Jay went on to become the first person enrolled in his school’s externship program, all thanks to his social studies teacher who believed that he had immense potential, and took him under his wing.  At the age of 19, Jay was accepted to NYU College of Dentistry. After completing a residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry at NYU, he joined the Navy and completed a tour of duty as a Lieutenant in the Dental Corp where he received the National Defense Service Medal. Jay was also featured in major magazines as the poster boy for recruitment due to his nonprofit: Homeless Not Toothless, which has provided free dental care to over 60,000 veterans and children. He has also mentored more than 1,000 people so far during his career. Jay has received letters of commendation from President Obama, the Secretary of the Navy. and numerous members of Congress. Today, Jay is a business owner, entrepreneur, founder of the nonprofit - Homeless Not Toothless, and a selfless contributor. On this episode of the #IAmMovement podcast, Jay and I discuss how the smallest moment can impact your life in a huge way, why living in poverty is a choice, and some of his powerful reasons behind joining the Navy.

Have you ever wanted something so bad, but felt that you weren’t good enough or deserving enough of it? So many people miss out on glorious opportunities due to a lack of determination, self love, and the wrong perspective. But if you can change the way you look at the world, the world around you will change. Trey Roth was 8 years-old at a playground when he saw her. It was love at first sight. Except he couldn’t find the courage to talk to her. Trey was overweight, had crooked teeth, a shy personality, and the world of insecurities. It took him four years to realize that he would never have the courage to ask her out if he didn’t make a change.  Struck with this new perspective and sense of determination, Trey started running for two hours every night. He got braces and for the first time, began to smile. A year later, Trey had lost a tremendous amount of weight and finally had the courage to ask her out. They have been together for 19 and a half years to this day.   "Dream big, go for your dreams and then the seemingly impossible does become reality." - Trey Roth Today, Trey is a music producer, CEO and founder of the social network for referrals - Yaystack, and a loving husband and father of four children.  On this episode of the #IAmMovement podcast, Trey and I discuss the meaning of love at first sight, why changing the way you see yourself matters, and the beautiful message behind the movie: It’s A Wonderful Life.

Can you name one successful person who did not have a mentor, coach, or guidance of any sort? The answer is likely going to be: No. Mentors and coaches accelerate growth, reveal blindspots, and motivate people towards their success. Often, having guidance or not is a defining factor between being successful and being average.  Micheal Burt became a basketball coach and won his first championship at 18 years old at the same elementary school where he attended as a child. After being introduced to Stephen Covey’s “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” he looked deeper into the “Whole Person Theory” and learned that each person is made up of 4 parts: body (skill), mind (knowledge), heart (desire) and spirit (confidence).    ​Because of Micheal’s unique knowledge of building a “competitive intelligence” into his players and how his teams performed, people around the world would begin asking, “What are you doing with those kids?” He would say, “We are building our own little Greatness Factory by coaching the whole person. ​At 31 years old and after winning a championship, Micheal would retire from athletic sports to build a multimillion dollar coaching business and form the Monster Producer coaching program, which is a systematic and consistent program that teaches sales professionals, business owners, and those interested in rapid growth the five big areas to get a significant lift in their business. Today, Micheal speaks internationally on his books and growth methodologies and is the personal coach to some of the top performing companies in the world. On this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life Podcast, Micheal and I discuss the key elements behind a great coach and how they can challenge you to achieve more, the mindset behind being a leader during a global pandemic, and how we can motivate others around us by supporting, encouraging and challenging them.

Do you spend your day jumping from one task to another, finding yourself easily distracted? If the answer is yes, you are probably lacking focused energy. Many of us are trying to tackle too many tasks at the same time instead of being laser focused on the things we know will take us one step closer to success.  Due to a lack of experience in sales, Daniel Lesniak was rejected in more than 50 interviews while attempting to get his dream job as a strategy consultant. He decided to use this failure as an opportunity to learn, and became laser-focused on bettering himself as a salesman through real estate. This focus led Daniel to one of the fastest starts in real estate with over $22 million in sales in his first year. Dan then went on to create the Orange Line Living Team, a premier real estate group.  The team merged with the Keri Shull Team in 2013, and in 2014 the combined teams ranked 4th in the world at Keller Williams. In 2015, Dan and his wife, Keri, left Keller Williams to establish their own brokerage. Since then, their combined team has grown to 80+ members and sells over $300 million in volume annually. Today, Daniel is a billion-dollar real estate agent, best-selling author, investor, developer, coach and co-founder of HyperFast Agent. On this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life Podcast, Daniel and I discuss the psychology behind focus and success, how focusing on one task at a time can lead to massive results, and how the way you react in certain situations can drastically change your life.

How do you deal with pain? Some people meditate, workout, or read, while others turn to alcohol or other substances. How you deal with pain often stems from your childhood programming. Fortunately, you have the power to not only change your identity, but to take the negative labels you’ve been given, embrace them, and make them work for you. After overdosing three times, three days in a row, Brodie Kern realized that it was time to turn his life around before things took a turn for the worst. After deciding to embrace his addictive, obsessive and passionate mindset and turn it into something positive, he ventured out to become a successful real estate agent and merchant accounts advisor. Last year, Brodie recognized that none of his accomplishments would have been possible if it wasn’t for learning how to master himself. He realized that if he could turn his life around, he could help others do the very same thing. Today, Brodie is a world renowned serial entrepreneur, CEO of Wake Up Wealthy, and real-estate investor that has impacted the lives of thousands of young professionals across the world. On this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life Podcast, Brodie and I discuss the link between pain, addiction, and substance abuse, the inner narrative when dealing with addiction, and how Wake Up Wealthy is helping young entrepreneurs master the art of business.

Think about what kind of leader you could be if you knew, with absolute certainty, that you were the best person for the job. Now, think about all the reasons you can't be that leader. The stories you carry, your failures—everything that's in your way. Truth is, anyone can be the strong, inspirational leader you imagine by leading authentically. Despite a track record of spectacular failures, Danessa shows leaders how to get brave, get naked, and be the leaders they've always imagined. She believes that each of us are uniquely qualified to lead, not in spite of our shortcomings and failures, but precisely because of them. Known for her unique ability to drive new levels of engagement and performance, Danessa is a fresh, positive voice on leadership.

Are you working because you want to or because you have to? Most people are trapped in a state of solo-economic-dependency. In other words, income stops as soon as you stop working. But there is more than one way to solve this stress-inducing problem. Mark had a high-stress, soulless corporate job, and felt trapped in a state of solo-economic-dependency. He was always focused on material things: a bigger house or a fancier car . . . until he lost it all during the Financial crisis of 2008. After losing all these material possessions, Mark reconnected with his family but was stuck with little or no time. This made him realize that true freedom is only possible with passive income. "Having true freedom and wealth means that when you wake up on Monday and you don't have to be anywhere. Time wealth - Being able to work when you want, where you want, with whom you want." – Mark Podolsky Mark went on to perfect the art of buying raw, untouched land. By focusing on working smart, not hard, he completed over 5,500 land deals with an average ROI of over 300%. Today, Mark is the author of Dirt Rich, owner of Frontier Properties, and founder of The Land Geek.  On this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life Podcast, Mark and I discuss a key component in getting out of the ‘rat race’, why happiness is more than just a paycheck and how even the smallest labels we give ourselves and others can have a huge effect.

Are you paying attention to what's really important? We spend our lives hustling daily to make money, and at times we neglect the thing that brings us the most joy and fulfillment. Money can buy us many things, but without connection and authentic relationships, happiness will always seem out of reach.  Aaron T. Walker was a successful businessman, who spent most of his time making money. At the young age of 27, he sold his first business to a Fortune 500 company. But one day Aaron arrived home with his pockets full of money and a house full of strangers. That was the day he almost lost his family. Aaron soon realized that his relationships needed to take priority and took action. “If you make relationships paramount, the money will come as a result of pouring into other people.” – Aaron Walker Aaron has inspired many through his leadership, mentorship, and consistent pursuit of excellence. He has even founded more than a dozen other companies over the past 41 years, including Iron Sharpens Iron and The Mastermind Playbook. Today, Aaron continues to reach new heights and broaden his perspective of the terrain by examining his experiences and growing from them. On this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life Podcast, Aaron and I discuss how a mastermind group can escalate your success, the key component to living a fulfilled life, and why isolation is the enemy to excellence

Do you use past life events to fuel your fire? Everyone alive today has lived through an extreme emotional event. Some come out stronger and with a sense purpose, while the others play the victim. It’s your choice whether you use an extreme emotional event to fuel your fire, or to extinguish it.  At his core, C-Roc is a grinder – he’s a guy who had a fire lit in his heart at an early age after his hero gave up on him.

What’s a “good” life to you? We’re programmed to think a good life entails getting a college degree, a decent job, a family, and a home. What we don’t realize is that most people with a “good” life are stuck inside a cubicle most of the day, trading time away from their families for money. So, is “good” really good enough? Mike Sjogren did all the right things. He got the grades, the degree, and a decent job. He had a good life. It all changed when Mike’s son was born with a health condition. Having to trade time away from his family for a paycheck to pay the bills, Mike soon realized that something would need to change. That’s when Mike and his wife, Krysten, went on to create Occupied, LLC, a national short-term rental management company in 2017 as a vehicle to build passive income. A mere 18 months later, their short term rental portfolio replaced their income, and Krysten and Michael both left their corporate jobs. Today, Mike is a husband, father, investor, entrepreneur, CPA, author, speaker, instructor, and short term rental expert. On this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life Podcast, Mike and I discuss why he became The Airbnb Guy, how the accountability group M1 changed Mike’s life and his identity, and why you need to be 100% fully committed in order to reach your goals.

Ask yourself, “What am I worth?” Do you have a hard time answering that question?  Sometimes we don’t know our true worth because it’s constantly being defined by other people.  As a widow and single mother, Denise Liebetrau used to struggle with this question. On top of managing a life with kids and a demanding career, she found herself working her way up the corporate ladder.  But Denise —  no longer wanted to be constrained by other people’s definition of who she is and what she could  contribute.

When you look in the mirror, who do you see? Do you see the BEST you? Self-improvement can be an uncomfortable process, intertwined with failure in the pursuit of our goals.  But failing is part of what helps you to become the very BEST you.  After a self-proclaimed struggle with networking, Jeremy Ryan Slate stuck with his journey of self-improvement and struck gold with his Create Your Own Life Podcast, which has been downloaded over 2.5 million times.

How do you handle rejection? Most people see rejection as a personal attack, failure, or loss, while the people who always come out on top see it as an opportunity for self improvement. The question is, which one are you? At age 22, Michael Altshuler started a copier company that would go on to become a multimillion-dollar business. After selling the company to multibillion-dollar industry giant IKON Office Solutions in 1997, Michael relocated to Florida and embarked on his new career as a motivational speaker and sales consultant.

You’ve probably heard it said that we, as humans, don’t know what we have until it’s gone. And that’s true, isn’t it? We overlook the good things we receive or grow bored of them quickly. But when we nurture a worldview and an internal sense of gratitude and real value, our lives become even fuller and more fulfilled.  After transitioning from military service to life as a civilian entrepreneur and businessman, Wally Carmichael found himself chasing success in a lot of misguided ways.
