[REPLAY] 04 - Everything Is Your Fault Dec 11, 2019

Show notes

###Everything is your fault. Period.

Once you realize that, it is the most freeing and amazing thing you can realize. Because it means no one is responsible for your life but you. This episode is more just me being a motivational speaker and like yelling in your face.

I'm doing that because sometimes I just think people need a kick in the butt and they need to own responsibility for their life. I'd like to know if you'd like it or you don't like it and we'll go from there. So hit me up on Instagram (link below).

Please understand, I'm going to be pretty straightforward and unapologetic and not very sympathetic in this episode. My mom, sorry, you're probably not gonna like this episode so much, but some people just need to hear it. If you're in a super bad situation in your life right now, this is probably exactly what you need to hear because it's what's gonna help you change your life. If you don't like where your life is at right now, this is the episode for you.

####Please understand. I love you guys. I appreciate you all, but this is for the people that need a little bit of a kick in the pants.

I’m going to explain why there will be a brief hiatus from the podcast until next year, and talk about what's going on, and what you should expect for the rest of the year with The Think Different Theory. I’ll then show you how to set up for success in 2020 by sharing exactly what I'm doing and how specifically you can apply that to go and crush it in 2020. Enjoy!

153 - Funnel Hacking Live + How To Build A Successful Brand With Loyal Customers Dec 04, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, I will talk about Clickfunnels, Russell Brunson, Funnel Hacking Live, and how they all relate to how to successfully build a brand and customer loyalty in business. I’m crazy about Clickfunnels, so crazy that I’m flying in all the way from London, and shorting my world trip, just to make it to Funnel Hacking Live, and I want to share how I just recently realised why I’m so crazy about it.

I will start off the episode by describing our trip to the Philippines, and the fun stuff we’ve been doing there. The most unforgettable experience will be on this little island, so little that you can get around the whole island in a moped within less than 2 hours. I’ll talk about what it was like recording this episode from there, how I have been banned from Facebook, and the upcoming Funnel Hacking Live event.

To my disappointment, a lot of you guys haven’t yet bought their tickets to Funnel Hacking Live, despite knowing how Clickfunnels fundamentally changed my life, and how critical it could be to your success in business. I’ll talk about all that and remind you how great Clickfunnels is, and the impact that attending Funnel Hacking Live will have on your life, so listen in, and I promise in the end you’ll have gained more valuable insight than you need to go buy your ticket.

Key Points Discussed:

The runway with no lights on it and flying in the old school propeller plane (01:55)
The announcement of the three keynote speakers at Funnel Hacking Live (05:17)
How Clickfunnels and Russell Brunson made me my first six figures online (11:09)
The power of building a brand and how to build it (15:03)
Nike and Jordan products in the most remote and poorest place in the world (21:29)
How we emotionally invest ourselves when we spend money on a brand (23:33)
Surviving, building a brand and succeeding by selling and communicating (31:40)

151 - Why I Support Donald Trump [EXPLAINED] Nov 29, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, and in the spirit of my new Facebook group on communication, I will talk about my support for Donald Trump and why I do it. Before you go and unsubscribe, block, or send me hate mail, I ask you to hear my side of things first and know that I am not trying to convince you to support Donald Trump or vote for him.

There is no denying that Donald Trump is controversial. Say his name, and you are either met with cheers of support, or roars of hatred and disgust, but I’ll explain and clarify my view on him because there's been a lot of miscommunication around where I stand on him. Even if you don't agree with me, which you don't have to, I hope this will make you can understand and at least have a truthful, honest conclusion about why I'm at where I'm at.

I believe that if you can communicate well, you can have just about anything you want in life, and this episode is a perfect example of communicating your side of the issues, so I hope that at the end of it all, you’ll have seen the power of communication. Stay tuned.

Key Points Discussed:

Communicating support for Donald Trump and explaining the reasons for that support (02:40)
Getting a tremendous amount of hatred for supporting Donald Trump (07:11)
A leader who is the best possible option for America (12:02)
The matter of race, celebrating the wins of all things, and separating people from the policies (16:20)
The significance of the state of the economy and the border (20:23)
Americans having it better than other people anywhere else in the world (27:44)
Getting rid of food stamps and welfare in general (30:33)
How personal responsibility and self-confidence can fundamentally change our lives (34:42)
Why Josh thinks Trump is the best option for America (39:16)
A capitalist pig republican that wants to pay as little tax as possible (43:49)
Freedom is the ability to be disciplined and live a disciplined life (48:58)

150 - This Guy Climbed Mt. Everest (And The Tallest Mountain On EVERY Continent) Nov 27, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, I interview David Mauro, an incredible man who climbed the tallest mountain in every continent. When he was in his forties, his life hit rock bottom. With nothing to lose, he left everything he knew behind and set out on an epic international adventure.

For the next seven years, Dave trudged across glaciers, frozen wastelands and through dense, dangerous forests. He communed with penguins and elephants, kept company with cannibals and gunrunners, and spoke with the dead.

Though he’d never been a climber, he ended up joining history’s courageous few when he ascended into the clouds to stand at the summit of Mt Everest, and he comes on to share that entire 7-year journey, and all that it taught him.

Key Points Discussed:

The single greatest skill that you can possess in life (02:12)
The purpose of writing the Altitude Journals book (10:16)
Getting permission to climb the tallest peak in Antarctica and how David hit rock bottom in his forties (13:30)

Always on the hunt for joy: Being happier by looking for positivity all day (37:27)

Listening to the calling and misleading nature of the gospel of linear thinking (53:02)

In this episode, I interview Nik Robbins, the CEO, and Co-Founder of Be Top Local, a multiple 7 figure online advertising agency that serves medical office nationwide. He’s also the founder of Krusader Nation which is an online agency training course and has taught hundreds of others to start and grow their own marketing agencies. Nik has grown his agency to 3.5 million in the first 20 months by utilizing ClickFunnels and developing a bulletproof sales process to close high ticket clients.
