In this episode, I’m going to talk about the importance of embracing our struggles. When you are faced with struggles, running from them and trying to get them to go away is never the answer, it just causes more problems down the road.

What you should always do, is look at how to learn from them so you can grow and achieve much higher levels of success. Listen in as l share my own experience with that, and how it led me to where I’m at today. Hopefully, that will help you implement the same in your own life.

126 - "The Trump Dilemma" - Discussing Trump's Politics, Character, & Policies With Anti-Trump Supporter Julie Stoian Oct 02, 2019

Show notes

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)
