Quote #1

I just left that industry at a high paying salary and it did cause significant financial hardship for many years.

But I took the opportunity to improve upon my health and wellness, and that's when I lost my 65 pounds.

Quote#2

So my actual niche are executives and high level business owners, like over a million plus, uh, who are chronically stressed and either at or nearing burnout.

I equally, coach men and women. I like them both, you know, for different reasons.

Quote#3

And I think why, it's because my foundation is mental fitness. And they understand the science behind it because it's based on cognitive behavioral theory, positive psychology, you know, they really understand that science and they appreciate it, and they just get a really clear understanding of how their thought patterns are impacting their behavior and how that can be changed to provide better productivity, better relationships, better health and wellness and so forth.

378. Evan Money Part 2, Prefab, instead of Rehab, Make a Movie, In the Shower! May 16, 2023

Show notes

Happily Married, #1 Bestselling Author, Global Entrepreneur and

founder of the Marriage of Greatness movement.

"Many men can make a fortune, very few can build a family."

It's all about taking ACTION!

Quote#1

So when you got a V H S camcorder, that's our little tool to film shorts and there's no video editing like nowadays, right? You can do it on your phone. You got all, I mean, just the whole, you and I understand what it used to take to create content.

Quote#2

There's gotta be a way to do this. And so I stood up and said, I'm gonna make a documentary and the next day in the shower, and here's a lesson for the people in the shower. If you ever notice, uh, most people get great ideas in the shower. Yes, probably cuz their phone's not in there with them. Yeah. Uh, hint And most people sadly leave their great ideas in the shower.

Quote#3

And so God gave me the vision, words of art. So I'm like, okay, let's look at words as an art form. And so that's where I started and I made an intention, got up off the couch and wouldn't you know, James, the next weekend I'm at an event. And it's one of these personal growth events. They got, you know, big names on the stage and then they have the sponsor, you know, ally, right, where everyone's got their booths.

Prehab instead of Rehab!

Body Dysmorphia, and how Evan recognizes it and deals with it.

Course correcting is how our journey in life goes.

"My bride and I both come from normal dysfunctional families, raise your hand if you can relate" : )

When we first got married our starry eyed quest was to live happily ever after and bring each others dreams to life.

The challenge was, we had no money, like an old cell phone battery we were always in the red. My bride had a low paying high stress job and I had a struggling business.

We drove junky cars and lived in a postage stamp sized rental house. On top of that, I had major sexual baggage from a dark past that I'm still unpacking today.

In-spite of all this we decided to have faith and dream big, we set a goal to get remarried in a different state or country every year.

With lot's of prayer, action and creativity, we have been married over 20 times and yes we have had more than 20 honeymoons! Our story has been featured in media outlets around the world, but this is just the beginning of our story…

More Cool Evan Money Quotes:

"The grass is always greener where you water it"

"Ok, so if you want to make a personal growth documentary, here is the guy"

"Why is this taking so long, that's what every film maker says about every film project"

377. Wanda Howard, Taking Back The Family To Where God Created Them To Be! May 12, 2023

Show notes

Wanda Howard is a parenting coach for those who love the abundance that God creates through the vehicle of business and how scaling as an entrepreneur brings great fulfillment in their life and they want to know how to bring that same feeling of purpose-driven success as a parent so that their kids can be emotionally healthy and confidently driven in their own life.

Quote#1

I believe that God did not send kids to us to say, okay, now you are the adult that should know all the answers and know exactly everything that they need. I think that he handpicked these amazing spirits for us because he knew that they had value.

Quote #2

I didn't want my kids to feel that way. I didn't want them to feel like they couldn't make a decision without me. I wanted them to know, like how to use their very capable, uh, deduction, reasoning, brain like intelligence and make their own decisions. And if they make a wrong one, then they're just better educated and that's not a crime.

Quote#3

I predominantly do one-on-one coaching with parents, but I love to get to know their kids as well. So I love it when their kids have questions and to help them, and that's lots of fun too.

376. Chris Lipper, On The Bus, And Mayor of Lipperville Metaverse In California May 09, 2023

Show notes

Chris Lipper has been called the Entrepreneur's Whisperer. He is the founder of On The Bus™ where he offers Small Business Owners Coaching and Virtual Trade Shows.

Since even before Chris obtained his Series 7 at age 20, Chris has been on all sides of business transactions -- from professional inventor for 15 years in multiple industries, founder of five companies, and rolls in numerous industries.

He brings his experience to business owners in the On The Bus ™ with coaching, networking, training opportunities in the Metaverse.

Quote #1

So in 2014, one of my members said, oh, trade shows stink. I'm never gonna do another one.

And I said, well, maybe it's not the trade shows. Maybe you just stink at doing 'em. And let, let's figure it out.

Quote #2

On the Metaverse:

So within 10 minutes, it feels real. Once you're past the wow effect, it feels real.

Yeah, you forget that you're in the metaverse and all of a sudden you're talking to people live and it becomes like a real thing

Quote #3

I think the answer is that I did the work. Yeah, I learned. You know, and maybe because I was moving, I wasn't distracted by a lot of outside stuff.

There wasn't a lot more for me to do, and I got immersed in this stuff. If it wasn't for the pandemic, none of this would've happened.

375. Kay Suthar, Make Your Mark Podcast Turned Agency, Sharing Knowledge For Her Clients May 05, 2023

Show notes

Kay Suthar had many ups and downs when she first started, and has gained a deeper understanding of the podcasting world. While she definitely enjoyed podcasting, she noticed that there was an underlying issue in the podcasting community: the editing.

Most podcasters were either overpaying for editing or were spending hours editing their shows themselves.

As a fellow podcaster, she created a solution meant for all podcasters. Make Your Mark (Podcast) Agency prides itself on customer service while going above and beyond what you'll find anywhere else by including audio editing, video editing, podcast publishing, show notes, and captioned videos in our all-in-one packages.

The Make Your Mark Podcast

Kay helps entrepreneurs turn their podcasts into profitable businesses. Giving them the tools the need to build your authority, visibility and brand on a global scale without the headache of producing your own show.

Quote #1 You gotta keep promoting yourself. You still gotta put yourself out there. You don't stop just because there's a pandemic.

Quote #2 And so I thought, well, let me tell people what I do and let me use this whole

podcasting thing that everybody's going on about, right? So I was like, okay, let me just get myself on a few podcasts and nobody would actually even reply to me.

Quote #3 I was there to kind of promote myself, and all I did was when people asked for certain things, I then gave them, because I was like, the market is already telling me what they want.

372. Jason Koons, Sweetwater Sound, $1.7 Billion Reasons To Smile! Apr 25, 2023

Show notes

Jason Koons has been with Sweetwater since mid 2000 when he accepted an internship in the Sales Department with ambitions of working his way into the recording studios( background and schooling).

He was 20 years old and didn't really know who he was was yet, but quickly fell in love with all things Sales & Business Development.

He spent 22 years truly sprinting, learning all he could about the craft and being an intentional student of sales, and that led to being the top producer for the company 17 of his 22 years as a Sales Engineer.

What's more, those weren't just 17 years straight but each and every month of that as the top producer…203 consecutive months.

He held the honor of having talked to more customers of Sweetwater's over his tenure than any other Sales Engineer and in his final month in that role, made the decision to find fulfillment in leadership at Sweetwater Sound.

In January of '22 he accepted the role of Director of Sales Growth & Development where he could focus on bringing the already successful top-performers at Sweetwater to their next levels, as well as contribute to overall sales initiatives and company motions while growth continued.

Jason grew up as an adult at Sweetwater…He is very grateful for the opportunities in life this company has afforded him and his family (and countless other families) and he cares deeply about maintaining Chuck's original vision and ethos while exploring new areas of growth.

Jason Quotes: "This is about, really, chasing your bliss and, and finding your creative outlets."

"Chuck Surack was and is still the most successful person I've ever met. So it just made sense for me to just model my ethos and, what I did around what he had done."

"The thing I think I'm most proud of is that while, these days we're nearly a 1.7 billion company, 23 years after I had started, the culture aspect of it from 40 sales engineers to now 612 sales engineers, it just hasn't changed."
