    We're excited to bring to you our 50th episode of Day One Dollar Zero. In the wake of all of the recent stories around politics, the super bowl, and sports icons passing away, we saw a lot of people sharing their opinion on social media. This sparked some thought with and made us start asking the question "Where are people putting their energy?".

    When you're on your path towards a goal, one of the biggest struggles you'll face is staying on task and not being distracted by how "far" it seems you're away from the finish line. The domino effect refers to the power of focusing on one step at a time. You don't need to have a crystal clear vision of the end. In fact, if you do, it can make you miss out on opportunities and become impatient in the short term leading to bad decisions. In this episode, we discuss all aspects of this concept.

Failure is not the suck and more times than not, how most describe the suck or attempt to use it, is not accurate. Keep an open mind and you'll definitely want to take notes on this one.

    38: Quit Reading Start Writing Nov 22, 2019

    Today's episode is about creating and maintaining a growth mindset. Now when most of you think growth mindset, you think self-development and reading. We're talking about getting out from behind the pages and writing your own story. This allows you to apply what you've learned in the real world to get your own data. Then, you can attack your growth with a more focused intention. This is only possible once you've applied your self enough to learn where your strengths and weaknesses are. Until you've been able to get your own data in your field, you won't know what parts of your game need the most attention.

    37: Serial Quitters and Serial Starters Nov 19, 2019

    Today's episode is a top around people (men in particular) that are constantly taking on new "goals", "challenges", or "movements" publicly. Only to fail in silence with no one keeping them accountable or holding them to their word.

    It's easy to post a goal and feel good with the immediate support you get from people. It's another thing to keep that going publicly. Most people who take on these new public challenges just end up fading out and quitting on themselves. The problem is that the same guys who tell them "good job" in the beginning and call them "brother" aren't calling them out when the see them quite.

    This podcast is to encourage you to stop seeking public recognition for something you haven't even accomplished yet, and to encourage you to hold your "brothers" accountable to the things they said they wanted to do.

    30: Man Up - What is it, why it’s important, and has society changed it? Oct 14, 2019

    Rarely in life do things go your way. How you react when things don't seem to work out is a huge factor when you're looking at your overall happiness.

    How do you react when things don't (seemingly) work out in your favor?

    23: So You Call Yourself an Alpha? Sep 16, 2019

    Can you be a self-proclaimed alpha and what exactly does it mean? We are in an age where "toxic masculinity" has been a hot topic and the pendulum has swung the other way. Now men are going out of their way to be or act masculine and a lot of them are going about it the wrong way. In this episode, we discuss what it means (in our opinion) to really be alpha. What does this look like and how can you incorporate more "alpha" characteristics into your personal life.

    22: Size Does Matter - Depth Vs. Width | Building Your Business Through Social Media Sep 12, 2019

When you take the time to get the people who know you in real life and get them on your social, they get to see you in your element with work. On the flip side, when you get people who know you on social media and build a relationship in real life, you're increasing your network and sphere which leads to more business.

    16: Breaking The Rules & Being a Cowboy Aug 19, 2019

    In this episode, we dive into what it means to "be a cowboy", do things your own way, and stay true to your word.

    We also talk a lot about relationships and not necessarily looking for a direct return on investment (ROI) from the people you meet and the actions you take.

    13: Be the Star of Your Own Movie - Take Control of Your Life & Your Circumstances Aug 03, 2019

    Are you the star of your own movie? Or are you helping someone else write theirs? When we say this, it can sound somewhat cliche. What does staring in your own movie really mean?

    To us, it means taking control of your life and your circumstances. It means understanding that all good movies have an obstacle that needs to be overcome.

    When you're able to look at life like this, it becomes so much easier to understand the different obstacles that will be thrown at you.

    Write your own movie...don't help someone else write theirs!

    12: How to Manage Growth, and When is it Right to Start Saying "NO"? Jul 30, 2019

    When you're a self-motivated and driven person, it's easy to say "yes" to a lot of requests that people make of you. In fact, saying "yes" is probably what has had a lot to do with what got you where you are.

    The question is then, when is it right to start saying "no"?

    That's exactly what we're diving into on this episode. As an entrepreneur, when is it right to say "yes" and when does it make sense to say "no".

    We discuss some important questions you should be asking yourself to help answer this on your own.

    8: Being A Dog In The Fight Jul 16, 2019

    Being a “Dog In The Fight” is an extremely important topic for us because that’s how we run our company and home life as well. Being a dog in the fight means leading from the front and being in “your own” fight.

    As your company is growing, you should make sure that you keep your hands in the dirt. When you’re leading others and trying to tell them how it’s done, if you’re not in your own fight, it’s going to discredit you as a leader.

    Not only does it help you stay relevant to what you’re leading on, but it helps you understand the realistic expectations of your team and yourself. It makes you realize what it’s like to be in the fight which makes you more impactful and influential as a leader.

    When you’re listening to our podcast, although we speak a lot about business, we want you to think about these topics in the context of your family. How you lead your spouse and your children need to be thought out every bit as much as you do with your business.

    BE A DOG IN THE FIGHT!

    7: Creating a culture in your business and family Jul 13, 2019

    6: How to Handle Being Broke Jul 09, 2019

    On this episode, we get super personal. We discuss something that is rarely spoken about among entrepreneurs and business owners. Being broke. Out of money. Strapped for cash.

    With all of the glitz and glam that's around entrepreneurship, a lot of people are afraid to talk about how broke they really are or were at one point before achieving their success.

    The truth is, running a business takes money....and time. There are long periods of times that you can go without making a dime and expenses are coming out every month.

    If you don't have a strong mindset and can endure long periods of stress, you won't make it.

    We share our personal experiences and talk about how we get through the stress and how you can ultimately realize you're not broke at all.

    5: Building Your Personal Brand and Dealing with Growing Pains Jul 08, 2019

    Building Your Personal Brand - DayOneDollarZero | Episode #5

    This podcast episode covers two very important topics to any entrepreneur out there. Building your personal brand and the dealing with the growing pains that come along with it.

    Whether you like it or not, you have a personal brand. Everything you post, the comments that you make, and the things that you make up your brand/reputation. As your brand and business grow, you'll find yourself constantly dealing with new struggles and obstacles.

    As an entrepreneur and business owner, it's up to you to step out of your comfort zone, educate yourself, apply what you've learned, and simply stay persistent.

    4: How to Stay Focused on Your Goals & Avoid the BS on Social Media Jul 08, 2019

    Welcome to the new episode on how to stay focus on your goals and avoid distractions. In this one, we talk about how we stay focused on our goals and cut through the noise on social media.

    When you're setting out to achieve anything, you're going to face a ton of distractions. If you don't have a solid foundation of faith or confidence in yourself, you'll be easily distracted which can lead to steps in the wrong direction.

    We'll cover how we stay focused, spot "pretenders" on social media, and keep taking action day after day to get us to where we want to go.

    3: Work Life Balance for Entrepreneurs Jul 07, 2019

    Will and Eli talk about the work life balance myth and how they believe in what they call work life integration. When you're setting out to achieve success in whatever goal you're chasing, you have to set clear expectations to your wife, girlfriend, or spouse. They discuss how they each do this with their wives and manage their family in addition to their careers.

    2: Toxic Positivity - Intentionally seeking out pain for GROWTH Jul 02, 2019

    In this episode, we spoke a bit about giving and receiving positive affirmations. At times we enjoy hearing compliments from others. One step even further, I think we tend to also feel good about giving compliments to others and encouraging them to keep up the great work, or "you are so motivating, thank you for being you"...

    However, at what point does this become toxic and counterproductive for both parties.

    We speak a little bit on protecting how you receive and give these types of affirmations and when it becomes toxic.

    1: What is Day One Dollar Zero? Jun 22, 2019

    What does "day one dollar zero mean to you? In this first episode, Will and Eli each discuss their individual take on the meaning behind the title.

    This is a general discussion about what the podcast will be about going forward.

    Will shares some insight on his background and how he uses his experience in the military and law enforcement and how it applies in business and entrepreneurship.
