*RXBAR is a whole food protein bar that I've been eating like crazy for the past few days. Why? Two reasons: They are healthy and delicious! I absolutely love these little treats. They're made from 100% whole ingredients and RXBAR is totally transparent about their ingredients. They cut out all the additives, fillers, and chemicals found in so many other protein bars on the market and stick with the plain but tasty ingredients that make protein bars healthy and tasty. They're gluten free, soy free, and dairy free. And there's no added sugar. In fact the 3 core ingredients for all their bars are egg whites for protein, dates to bind, and nuts for the texture. And quite honestly, I think they've nailed the healthy & delicious combo to a tee. I just got finished mowing down their Chocolate Sea Salt bar and absolutely LOVED it! They've got 10 other flavors as well which are equally fantastic. I highly recommend you check these babies out.

*Whether it's Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency, digital currencies are the future! I truly believe we're at the beginning of a revolution in terms of how we use, send, and distribute money. Cryptocurrency is like the internet back in 1994. Nobody quite knows where it's heading or what's its truly capable of, but it's going to be a game-changer in the upcoming years. Get in now before it's too late. This isn't a bubble, but the future of the way our digital world is going. A very effective adaptation that's going to continue to get more and more popular. Whether it's Bitcoin or several other major cryptocurrencies, the future is in these digital currencies. My only advice is to invest as much as you're willing to lose though. Don't go crazy and put all your money in hoping for a lucky windfall. That can be extremely dangerous! But do get in now, even if it's for just a couple hundred bucks. Put in as much as you're comfortably willing to lose. Learn as much as you can, do your homework, and be smart with this. I personally, after chatting with some friends including Eric Merola, just threw 300 hundred on Bitcoin, 100 on Litecoin, and 100 on Ethereum a few weeks back because I don't care if I lose 500 bucks. The upside for this investment in a couple of years is potentially 100X more in return. The downside, even if it tanked, which I highly doubt, would be being out 500 bucks. This wouldn't hurt me financially, just maybe my pride for a few days. So don't take this as financial advice, because I'm totally not a financial expert, but I do recommend getting in on cryptos and starting soon. If you want to put your foot in the water and start small like I did, go to EliteManMagazine.com/Bitcoin. This will send you to the Coinbase site that Eric, Jordet, and I all talk about in the episode (and all use) where you can invest in Bitcoin and a few others like Ethereum and Litecoin. From here you can learn more and more about how Cryptocurrencies work and hopefully make some more smart investments going forward. Also, when you sign up through this special link you and I both receive $10 worth of free Bitcoin each, as a little bonus. It's a win-win for me and you!
