Scams, Cash, and Fake Friendships with Lauren Gordon

Scams, Cash, and Fake Friendships with Lauren Gordon

I've "seen Lauren around" through common friends of social media and we've liked each other's posts...but what really sealed our friendship is when we got scammed by the same person!

So in this episode, we decided to talk about that experience and treated it as a therapy session (lol) to let all our feelings out, tell you how it happend, and help you avoid these scams and fake friendships altogether.

Here's the highlights:

  • What is a scam and how do you define a scam
  • What are the common signs of scams (with real life, practical examples)
  • Red flags from people, investments, and timing (take down notes!)
  • Things that aren't a scam but sound like one
  • Scammy things that people do online - you've seen some of our friendly neighborhood bizniz coaches do these haha
  • How to process the feeling of being scammed and how to move on without feeling stupid or embarrassed
  • Differentiating gambling vs. investments + loose tips on what you should invest in which are NOT scams

We truly loved recording this episode and we hope you like it! We've put a positive twist from being scammed, and hope that you can also view things in the same perspective.

"Rooting for the Underdog" is a well-loved concept in the entrepreneur world. We love hearing these hero stories that remind us that anyone who's had massive amounts of success got there not because they were special, had exceptional IQ, or born into a rich family. There's a lot to earn and learn from people who have experieneced the opposite and yet they managed to get themselves out of that rut. (Believe me, I've been through a really bad phase of depression...)In this None of Your Business episode about cultivating the underdog mindset, Zach and I talked about: Zach's story of growing up in juveniles, psych wards, and spending 5 years in prison Getting out of THAT cycle of toxicity, loss, and lack of positive motivation What really makes underdogs and the underdog mindset exceptional especially for someone who is starting a business "When you have something to prove, or someone to prove wrong, sometimes that brings out the best in you"A mindset shift for underdogs to change the belief that they are "below someone"Real talk on the phrase "fake it til you make it"A lesson on setting boundaries and parameters at workWould you hire underdogs? Zach shares why and how.As someone who has earned his first million, moved into his dream lake house with his family of 6, and turned his business around in a span of 2 years, there's a lot to learn from Zach for sure.

Why Smart People Do Stupid Things

Why Smart People Do Stupid Things

As entrepreneurs, we usually regard ourselves as "smart", or at least "smarter" than our peers. Don't look at me like that-- you know this, you've done this many times. When we solve certain problems and get paid handsomely for it, we have this pride about the way we do things, which makes us forget how we can be "intellectually vulnerable" in other areas of our lives. Then one day, we do....STUPID THINGS.I sat down with 2x Guinness World Record Holder, competitive Brazilian Jiu Jitsu athlete, Author, and Hypnosis Expert Chris Bolger to discuss this. Why do smart people do stupid things?Here are some snippets of this rich convo: Chris's story of going form a celebrated athlete, destined for greatness, and then "hopeless and homeless"How he turned his life around in 24 hours (!)How "smart people" process the world differently [Hint: it's not IQ] Emotions vs. willpower, what really fuels our decisions?How can we get smarter at any age?How do we develop unconscious support systems to keep from backsliding to bad habits How to deal with depression and anxiety (clue: an important reframe)How pattern interrupts BREAK a downward spiral - physical, mental, or emotionalHow we can improve decision-making in business3 things to practice to "get smarter"This is definitely one of my favorite podcast conversations as I learned a lot in this episode about how to deal with my moods and how to make better decisions. As they say, the only job of a CEO is to make good decisions and I'm here to invest everything I have in that. Follow Chris on Istagram @chrisbolgerphdc. You will learn a lot from him. :)

The Quest for Freedom with Lana Sova

The Quest for Freedom with Lana Sova

Ah, freedom. The concept of having the independence to do whatever you want has been celebrated throughout history. As an entrepreneur, achieving true freedom is an exciting and attainable goal—if you’re willing to put in the work. One lovely afternoon, Author, Copywriter, and Copy Coach Lana Sova and I sat to discuss about her quest for freedom, different ways people look at it, and how people of all walks of life (whether you're an entrepreneur or not), can work towards it. Highlights: How did your quest for freedom start, what was the DEFINING MOMENT? (we all have this!)Lana's story of how she grew up in a developing country, having everyone else around her say that she should follow the "cookie cutter" kind of life, and how she went against the grainSince our job or how we make money is a ticket to freedom, How should we pick what we do for work? What are some of the important criteria?The road to freedom is filled with failures If you are tired of living a certain way, do somehting about itWhy people never MAKE THE JUMP or the big decision to be freer than they are now BONUS: Our favorite quotes about freedomIt was such a great conversation, and it definitely helped me reflect on all the years I yearned, worked for, and ran towards freedom. Absolutely no regrets. Check out Lana's book, The Fulltime Freedom Formula here: https://karlasingson--fulltimefreedomformula.thrivecart.com/the-full-time-freedom-formula/?ref=karla-singson.

Discipline as a Lifelong Principle with Coach Moe Ghias

Discipline as a Lifelong Principle with Coach Moe Ghias

Happy New Year, procrastinators! Just kidding. :) But we can all admit everyone has a little bit of procrastinator in them. The one who resists discipline a few times a day. The one who clearly sees the rewards of a routine, of order, and of consistency... yet we almost never make it perfect. The good news is, we don't have to "make it perfect". We just have to view discipline in a different light. Discipline is a key component of leading a successful and fulfilling life. It involves setting goals, making a plan to achieve them, and following through on that plan. Discipline helps us to be responsible, reliable, and hardworking. It also enables us to resist temptation and make tough decisions that may not be easy in the moment, but will ultimately lead to long-term success and happiness. And so here's a conversation between me and Moe Ghias, a seasoned fitness coach to celebrities, authors, and some of your favorite influencers, discussing: - His early examples of discipline, favorite and least favorite - Thinking about the positive side of discipline and how to reframe it - What is the hardest thing about discipline?- How do our expectations mess with our "average person's brain"? - What specific item should you CHANGE in order to develop better discipline- Stories of previous success with friends and clients re: discipline- When does discipline become easy?- When you started business what was the hardest thing to discipline yourself with, how did you get over it?- How we can help other people in developing disciplineDiscipline is particularly important in the pursuit of personal and professional growth, as it allows us to stay focused and motivated in the face of challenges and setbacks. Overall, discipline is a crucial quality for humans to cultivate in order to lead fulfilling and productive lives, and we hope you've earned enough gusto to nurture it through this podcast.
