[REPLAY] 126 - "The Trump Dilemma" - Discussing Trump's Politics, Character, & Policies With Anti-Trump Supporter Julie Stoian Jan 10, 2020

Show notes

[REPLAY OF A FAN FAVORITE]

In this episode, I sit down with a respected marketer, entrepreneur, and former VP of marketing at ClickFunnels, Julie Stoian, and we talk Donald Trump. Julie is not a Trump supporter while I am, but we have a civil discussion about his policies, character, and politics.

We also dive into the pros and cons of his presidency, immigration, foreign aid, abortion, and more.

My goal with this interview is to lead by example and show everyone that you NEED to have conversations with people that have different points of view than you do. In today’s current climate in the USA, there are few people willing to sit down and actually have a respectable conversation on this topic. I think Julie and I made that happen in this episode.

This is a very important interview in today's world, so stay tuned.

Key Points Discussed:

Receiving hate and death threats for being Pro-Trump (02:06)
America versus other nations: Putting America first (09:47)
Trump's performance on issues of global impact (16:54)
The more coach-able you are, the more success you're going to have (26:23)
Struggling with the loose credits and Trump’s leadership capabilities (34:40)
Why is Trump so bad if he’s done all the good? (45:22)
A legal path to immigration and the issue of the border wall (55:12)
The importance of ethics in marketing and the hook Trump used (01:02:11)
Operating on the spirit of the law versus to the letter of the law (01:09:47)
Federal versus state, and the issue of abortion (01:16:39)
Why do people hate Trump so much and has he done any good? (01:43:20)

155 - 2019 In Review - The Most Mentally Challenging Year Of My Life. (Shock, Searching, And New Beginnings) Dec 30, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, I will do a really detailed recap of 2019 and talk about all that has happened since the beginning of the year, what I went through, what I have learned, and how it has all made me a different person for the better. From my brother dying, to selling my business, to my Facebook getting deleted mid-launch, to going on a world trip and having to cancel it, I have experienced just about every range of emotion imaginable.

I'm going to share with you my biggest wins, my biggest losses, and my biggest takeaways by breaking down the year into three phases. I started the year on a high note by launching company and podcast, attending the 10X Growth Con, celebrating my birthday, and was super stoked when the New England Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl with Tom Brady getting his sixth ring. I also went down to Nashville to speak at a Pre-Funnel Hacking Live event and it’s about two weeks after that my brother Kyle passed away in a freak helicopter crash over in Kenya.

The pain and loss that I experienced from that made me feel so lost and I started to question everything about life. That led me to take time away from my business and my partner was very gracious in covering for me. I started studying God, religion, and philosophy while also getting therapy to cope with it all. Fast forward a few months and I had gone through and overcome so much, and was on a world trip with my girlfriend but had to cancel it and return home because my girlfriend had to get some urgent medical attention.

It was a rough and bumpy year, but the lessons I have learned have been super valuable, and I hope that the biggest takeaway for you will be the fact that we are all really in control of our lives even when everything seems out of control. So join me in this emotional roller coaster episode, and I promise you that it will help you prepare for the new year ahead.

Key Points Discussed:

The most brutal, mentally challenging curve ball, and unexpected year of Josh’s life (01:17)
An expected season of change and focus that was so horribly disrupted (10:58)
The moment when the core of everything shook (14:04)
Having a choice in how we respond to things even though we don’t choose what happens to us (26:15)
Selling the business that was the core of his identity and leaving his comfort zone to travel the world (31:23)
Making things right with everybody and fixing all the vices (35:56)
Getting a sense of direction from teaching and educating others (46:51)
Developing a passion for helping people and sharing the power of communication (52:40)
From having an amazing Facebook group in the middle of an amazing launch to nothing (58:42)
Facing a challenging mental game but choosing to stay positive (01:01:15)
The freaky intestinal parasite that caused the world trip cancellation (01:04:19)
The 25 takeaways that will change your life for the better (01:09:54)
The singlehandedly greatest asset in life that we have (01:16:21)
Getting 90,000+ downloads on the podcast completely organically with very minimal paid ad spend (01:25:52)
