Building From Scratch with Jeff Flamm Aug 16, 2019

Show notes

My guest today is my friend and the unstoppable entrepreneur, Jeff Flamm. Jeff is a tech and real estate Titan, yet he grew up on a ranch tending cattle and hauling hay. It's not the origin story you would think someone as wildly successful as he is would have, but Jeff says it's what gave him an edge on his path to success. He can't emphasize enough how knowing how to work and making your customer's satisfaction central to it, is the key to a successful business.

The massive tech and real estate developments, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, he has built from scratch is a testament to his ideology. He is the CEO and founder of Infinite Mind, an incredible software called eyeQ, that boosts brain and reading enhancement. Over one million people and thousands of schools and businesses have used the eyeQ program. Jeff has also built massive real estate deployments valued at over $600 million such as RiverPark Business Centre, Enchanted Canyon, and Innovation Point Business Park in Lehi the heart of the Silicon Slopes. He is also a partner in Koloa Landing, an amazing resort in Kauai.

Don't give up on your dreams before you even start. Just because you aren't currently in the position you want to be in doesn't mean you can't be. Work for an expert in the field you want to get involved in and learn from them. Go to the library, watch Youtube videos, do everything you can, and work hard to leverage yourself into success. Take that first step and listen to today's podcast, then take the next and execute the wisdom you learn here today.

Branding Yourself Online with Ali Hynek Aug 09, 2019

Show notes

Today's guest is my friend and amazing entrepreneur, Ali Hynek. She is the CEO and founder of Nena & Co, the "bohemian couture" fashion brand that focuses on handbags and textiles with a strong focus on design and marketing. Nena & Co. celebrates the unique heritage and talents of artisans around the world working in countries such as Guatemala, Mexico, Ghana, Morocco, and the USA. Responsible growth and strong community are an integral part of their principles. They live by the tagline, Wearing Values. Nena & Co.'s success has allowed Ali to better the lives of hundreds of artisans and their families by providing a fair living wage, access to medical services, and offering opportunities for education.

Part of celebrating artisan's heritage is by creating a connection between them and the consumer. The driving force behind Nena & Co.'s marketing, her visual storytelling brings artisan's stories straight to the consumer. It is overwhelmingly successful. In five years, Nena & Co. communities have formed around the world all on their own. That is thanks to a commitment to the values she finds important. As she says, don't be afraid to be different. To create a great company, it can be unique and a little weird but not so far that you are all alone.

It's not an easy task, but if you can get focused and clear about what you want to bring to the world, as Ali has, you will succeed. Today's podcast with Ali is a shining example of that. You wouldn't think the fashion and technology industries could teach one another anything, but good things come from unexpected places. Be sure to watch today's podcast and execute the wisdom Ali shares. I know everyone on my marketing team will be.

Creator Versus Consumer with John Sloan Aug 02, 2019

Show notes

Today's guest, my friend John Sloan, shows you how to make a fortune in Software and Application Development. He is the president and founder of GrowTix, a Utah based event management software company. A development and software Jedi, John and his team created a killer video gaming show called Geex, launched the Salt Lake Tribunes first iPad and iPhone apps in 2011, and built a content management platform for the largest Arab media company in Dubai. GrowTix has clients in the US, Europe, and Canada and covers 180 comic conventions.

John is one of those people whose path to success was anything but straightforward. You can see it above in his wildly impressive resume. Maybe I should say his wildly impressive portfolio. John couldn't emphasize enough how important it is to build a portfolio. Not just building one so you can say you have one, but to use it as a way to communicate to potential employers that you are passionate and driven. It's a way to communicate that you are a creator.

We discuss how important (and fun!) it is to be a creator versus a consumer. Don't get me wrong, John and I played video games when we were kids and still do now, but it wasn't the only thing we did. Computers and video games sparked our respective passions in building computers and writing and developing software. John didn't go to college, but he always, and still does, learned by finding the resources he needed and creating things hands-on.

It's that kind of self-driven learning and passion that allows you as John says, "to identify and be prepared for key moments" in your life. Listen to and execute the wisdom John shares in today's episode of my podcast. Your journey to success won't become any more direct, but you will channel the drive and creativity within that will allow you to get there.

How to become a Famous Supermodel and TV Star! with Brooke Mangum Jul 26, 2019

Show notes

Success is not a lack of failure; it is the result of pushing through failure. I've faced roadblocks and fallen flat on my face plenty of times on my journey to success. Every one of my guests on my podcast has too. Failure means you are doing something, and every failure brings you a step closer to success as long as you keep going.

Today's guest, Brooke Mangum, believes that to an extraordinary degree. The host of Fresh Living on KUTV, Brooke is a TV and radio personality and model. She has co-hosted Wasatch 360 on FOX and was on the USA Network television series, Summer Camp. Also, she was a radio personality with iHeart Media and was on stations all across the country. Before her career as a broadcaster, Brooke was an international fashion model and the face of many huge brands. In 2018 she founded Opta Naturals, which is now an industry leader in the hemp-derived supplements space.

Brooke is a Jedi Master, but she is also incredibly modest. She doesn't credit her success to being the best but to working hard and showing up every day. She didn't wait for opportunities to come her way, she made them. Cold calling modeling agencies, open casting, anything, and everything. For every yes Brooke heard, she received 100 no's. You may not be the most talented or smartest person in the room, but your sheer effort can overcome that. That's how she got her start at iHeart Radio. A radio host wanted her as his co-host, so she went to the station every day at five a.m. for six months, for free, to show them she meant business. I mean talk about tenacity.

Listen to and enjoy today's podcast. Brooke's energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and she has so many good things to say. Whatever you want to do, execute Brooke's advice. It will provide you with the momentum and resilience you need to keep you motivated on your journey to success.

What You Do Not Who You Are with Tanya Vea Jul 19, 2019

Show notes

Tanya is a leader and a pioneer. As Vice President for Bonneville SLC, she is the first woman not only in her organization but the entire state of Utah to hold that position. Tanya has over 25 years of experience in media (TV, radio, digital and podcasts). She was an award-winning journalist for CBS and has led operations and acquisitions. She currently serves on the board of United Way of Salt Lake, the Utah Debate Commission and is a member of the Governor's suicide prevention task force. Recently, she has been named to the NBC Affiliate Board. Tanya is doing a lot and continues to do what she wants. She has turned down opportunities that would be an amazing addition to any resume because they didn't align with what she wants to do.

Tanya's decisiveness is inspiring. It was one of the first things that struck me about her, and we discussed how instrumental it has been to her career and life. If it felt right or allowed her to learn something, she said yes. She believes in making decisions not sitting on the fence. If it isn't the right decision, that's okay. Adjust and correct course, but you will never grow and get clear about who you are if you don't make a choice.

Money for Entrepreneurs! with Brock Blake Jul 12, 2019

Show notes

Today's guest, my friend Brock Blake, is proof of that. He is the CEO and founder of Lendio, an Inc. 500 CEO, national keynote speaker, Forbes columnist, and Utah's Emerging Executive of the Year. Lendio is the largest online marketplace of business loans in the U.S. Brock believes that access to capital should be simpler and quicker for small business owners. Lendio has facilitated over $1.5 billion in loans to small businesses. Brock and his team donate a percentage of funds to low-income entrepreneurs around the world through Kiva.org.

Today's podcast with Brock is full of wisdom, but one of my favorites is nail it, then scale it. Essentially it means identify product-market fit; what your customer and price point look like. Test the product in the market on a small scale to create and refine the model, the system (nail it). Once that model is crystal clear, you scale it. It allows you to get real feedback on your product and find out if it is truly viable or not. Only receiving feedback from family and friends is one of the common mistakes new entrepreneurs make. They won't give you the blunt truth because they are invested in you and don't want to hurt your feelings. It's nice, but it doesn't serve your purpose.

Keep More of the Money you Make with Garret Gunderson Jun 07, 2019

Show notes

If you're anything like me, whenever someone talks about the finer points of financials and financial strategy it starts to sound like the "wah wah" voice of the teacher in the Peanuts. There is a lot out there that, frankly, you wouldn't know unless you are an expert in the field.

Today's guest, my friend Garrett Gunderson, is one of those experts. He is the Founder and Chief Wealth Architect of Wealth Factory and has written multiple Wall Street Journal bestsellers. His book, Killing Sacred Cows, hit number one on the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. Garrett is also a Forbes contributor and founded an Inc 500 company.

As you see in the podcast, we jump into some techniques and things we can do to become efficient with and keep more of the money we make. Who doesn't want to do that, right? It's a lot to take in, especially once Garrett gets going. But, that's one of the things that makes talking with him such a great experience. From the get go it's clear that he is super passionate and enthusiastic about helping people become financially and economically independent. That passion, enthusiasm and energy basically radiate off of him. It's his goal, and part of the mission that drives him and what they do at Wealth Factory, to get 1 million entrepreneurs economically independent
