189. The Power of Gut Instinct May 18, 2021

Show notes

Have you ever been told to "Go with your gut?" It's quite possibly one of the most common pieces of professional advice given. In fact, it's a superpower that a lot of successful entrepreneurs rely on when tough decisions need to be made. It's that small inner voice that helps to decide if you should trust someone, invest in a business, or even walk away from an opportunity if it sounds "too good to be true." However, it takes experience to build that trust with yourself.

In today's Inside Look, Bedros does a deep dive with Howie Zales, an Emmy Award-winning camera operator who, over the last 35 years, has worked across a dozen Super Bowls, multiple Olympic Games, dozens of Wrestlemania PPVs, and 20 Kentucky Derby Horse Races. Howie shares his insight into building a well-paid freelance career, becoming an entrepreneur, the growth mindset it takes to evolve, developing multiple streams of income, why trusting your gut is a smart play, and so much more.

"Go with your gut. Every time I do it, it's the right decision."

186. How Would 2 Foreigners Fix America Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

If you could snap your fingers and be President of the United States, how would you fix America?

Whether born into or migrated to this great Nation, we're all constantly overwhelmed with policy changes, promises of economic growth, education reform, healthcare changes, tax reform, social justice, and the list goes on.

It seems that every policymaker and career politician thinks they can run our homes and businesses better than us. They inundate us with their campaign platforms and candidate promises to fix the trending topic of the month. But how could a career politician who spent their life on the government payroll know what's best for you?

In today's Empire episode, Craig Ballantyne and Bedros Keuilian break down how they would fix America, how the government has no risk of overspending your money, why there should be less friction when creating jobs, and so much more.

You can agree or disagree with these ideas, but, at a minimum, hopefully, they'll get the creative and problem-solving wheels spinning.
