Traveling the World with The World Nomads Oct 13, 2019

Show notes

If there’s something season 3 really needs, it’s shooting the shit with 2 true blue aussies about travel. We’re young adults, It’s on all of our minds, especially mine since I just quit my job to go travel the world. Who knows? Maybe this episode is more forme than it is for you but nonetheless, if you’re someone who’s dying to get out there in the world, we got the blueprint for making sure you’re focused on the right things when you travel, learned how to travel safely and in a morally correct way, learned a few places that should be at the top of your list for 2020 travels, and got to hear about a pissed off swearing croation taxi driver along the way. I found today’s guests through there own podcast, the World Nomads Podcast, and ended up visiting them in Sydney Australia where I invited them to come on. So Phil and Kim, welcome!

Ski Instructor -> Serial Entrepreneur: The Bruce Thompson Story Oct 06, 2019

Show notes

We’ve all had that one great idea that we think could really be a great business, unfortunately we give into roadblock and get paralysis by over analysis and after leaving the idea on the backburner long enough, it ends up just fading away. On the other hand, there's a group of individuals that are not just able to take the one good idea and turn it into something, but are able to do that with many ideas, over, and over again, maybe it’s because once they figure out how to make one idea work, they somewhat have a blueprint to work with when pursuing the next. Wouldn’t it be great if we could get inside the heads of one of those individuals so maybe we could at least see what that blueprint might look like? Well today we have the entrepreneurial story of one of the biggest real-estate developers on the east coast. But he got his start as a snow ski instructor. From there he identified the opportunity to plan ski trips which evolved into operating busses and a charter airline company. I could go on but I think there’s only one person who can do this story justice, and that’s bruce himself.

How to save enough money to travel the world Sep 29, 2019

Show notes

I don’t think anyone here’s those words and doesn’t have that reaction. And that sucks! Being able to financially support ourselves is oftentimes why we do what we do between the hours of 9-5 every M-F. PAUSE What if we were able to have a greater financial consciousness so that we could spend more time of our life doing what we love and not just to support ourselves. This episode is all about the blueprint to do so because as Jazzi says, the goal of personal finance is to not have to think about personal finance.

Real Estate Millionaire Chris Craddock Sep 22, 2019

Show notes

We’re known as the renter's generation. Thanks to growing up in the midst of the worst economic contraction since the great depression, 2008 has taught us to refrain from any sort of financial commitment. Who can blame us for wanting to rent? We must get outside of this mindset, however, if we are to overcome the poor spending habits of generations prior. Let’s be honest, between the finding of the house, getting financing, and finding and managing tenants, it’s a bit of a mind-fuck (bleeped) so we brought on Chris, who’s goal is to own 13 million in real estate by the time he’s 50, who also leaves us with a great quote, you’re either paying for your landlord's house or your own. Here’s the blueprint for anyone looking to add real estate to their portfolio.

2.88 GPA to $2.5 MIL in Sales at Microsoft Sep 15, 2019

Show notes

Rishav and I wanted to bring back a favorite. We say favorite his episode had over 500 downloads so you all obviously thought there was something to learn from him, and we agree! Since the last time we spoke, he’s got new awards (probably from the millions in deals he closed for Microsoft in just one quarter), new life achievements which includes a duck in the oven, and a new city. Along the way, we learn about sales, living in Charlotte, and achieving those top awards within your organization. So Bradley, what is going on in your life?

Mail Room to Super Bowl, Executive Producer (SNF & Super Bowl), Fred Gaudelli Sep 08, 2019

Show notes

Super Bowl 52 was watched by over 100 million in the US. Many of us remember it from our couch and the following months and months of eagles fans making sure to let everyone know they were among the now 20 NFL teams to ever win the Super Bowl. Our guest remembers it differently, and also got to have possibly the best seat in the house, that’s because he was watching from the control room. That’s because he was the man who ran the whole show that ⅓ of all Americans watched. That means in his position, let's say you’re walking down the street, every third person you walk by, his work, has impacted. How many people have that sort of impact on such a large amount of Americans? Maybe Jeff Bezos and the many packages that arrive at our homes each week? Maybe Tim Cook and the iPhones we all walk around with? Yes, we put him in that category, as the executive producer of the super bowl(the 6th that he’s produced) and Sunday night football for 14 seasons. How does one get a gig like this? That’s what we wanted to ask Fred, in our first episode of Season 3 of practically passionate, Fred, first question here…..
