113: Niching Down To Scale Up Your Business with Kasim Aslam Dec 22, 2022

Show notes

Kasim Aslam is the Founder and CEO of Solutions 8, a top-ranked Google Ads agency that has helped hundreds of organizations grow and scale.

He’s also the author of The 7 Critical Principles of Effective Digital Marketing, featured as one of the Top 100 Digital Marketing Books of All Time by Book Authority, and was also named one of the Top 50 Digital Marketing Thought Leaders in the United States by The University of Missouri in 2020.

Kasim had to overcome severe challenges on his journey toward becoming one of the world's premier marketing minds. He was raised by a blind single mother on social security disability and was surrounded by people who could have easily steered him toward a life of poverty and crime.

Instead of debilitating him, these circumstances led Kasim to reinvent himself, personally and professionally. He now has a thriving business and a loving family and lives the lifestyle he dreamed of when he was younger.

Today, we discuss why niching down is crucial for the growth of most businesses, the importance of structuring your business to serve your lifestyle, and why financial freedom is best achieved through creating value for others.

110: Scaling Philanthropy to End Human Trafficking with Ryan Sobey Dec 01, 2022

Show notes

Over 50 million people are trapped in the world of human trafficking, and today’s guest is doing something about it.

Ryan Sobey is the VP of Anti-trafficking at Love Justice International, an organization that has helped over 34,000 people worldwide escape human trafficking, find freedom, and reconnect with loved ones. They’re a testament to the fact that with the right people and mindset, any organization can be financially successful while also providing value to society.

Love Justice currently operates in 22 countries, and Ryan has been an integral part of the efforts that helped them contribute to over 1,200 arrests worldwide with an over 35% conviction rate. While Ryan and his team are on the front lines stopping vulnerable people from becoming victims, they also help traffickers find a better life for themselves, stop trafficking and deter others from following their path.

Show notes

Scott Harrison is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and bestselling author on a mission to bring clean drinking water to every person on Earth who needs it.

And he's not just talking about it; he's actually doing it.

He details his incredible journey in his bestseller, THIRST: A Story of Redemption, Compassion, and a Mission to Bring Clean Water to the World.

108: Investing in Alternatives, Capitalizing on Inflation, and Building Recession-Proof Businesses with Ben Fraser Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

Ben Fraser is the Managing Director at Aspen Funds, a private fund that operates real estate funds for investors. He has raised over $100M in the past several years.

Before Aspen Funds, Ben worked as a commercial banker and underwriter in boutique assets management. He’s also a contributor to the Forbes Finance Council and a co-host of the Invest Like a Billionaire podcast.

Ben’s experience in real estate and banking taught him that even though successfully navigating a recession and rising interest rates can be challenging, the best opportunities appear when the economic landscape is shifting.

In today’s conversation, he reveals why ultra-wealthy individuals and organizations allocate significant portions of their investment portfolios outside the stock market and in alternatives—like real estate, private equity and hedge funds—while the average investor mainly works with stocks and bonds.

We also go over his strategies for successfully navigating recessions, why he likes multifamily and self-storage, and his thoughts on the future of the US economy.

Free Gift

Nick’s giving away the first 5 chapters of his book, The 2-Hour Cocktail Party: How to Build Big Relationships with Small Gatherings. The book is designed to show you how throwing small parties in a strategic way can be the easiest method to building your network.

107: Scaling Businesses, Exit Deals, and the 2-Hour Cocktail Party with Nick Gray Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

Nick Gray is an investor, entrepreneur, and author who has started, scaled and sold multiple businesses.

One of his most successful ventures was Museum Hack, which was his unique approach to offering museum tours for people who hate museum tours. It got into the Inc 5000 as one of the fastest-growing companies in the country. Eventually he struck a 7-figure exit deal, and continues to own 15% of the company.

While Nick could have enjoyed an early retirement, he decided to follow another passion: connecting with people and helping others build personal and professional relationships. After hosting hundreds of parties, he authored The 2-Hour Cocktail Party, which teaches anyone how to build relationships by hosting small gatherings. New York Magazine has described him as “the host of culturally significant parties.”

In this conversation, we go over the lessons he learned from bootstrapping and exiting multiple businesses, why entrepreneurs struggle to find meaning after securing nine-figure exits, and why hosting events is the best way to build your professional network.

Free Gift

Nick’s giving away the first 5 chapters of his book, The 2-Hour Cocktail Party: How to Build Big Relationships with Small Gatherings. The book is designed to show you how throwing small parties in a strategic way can be the easiest method to building your network.

106: Using Leveraged Buyouts to Scale and Secure 9-Figure Exits with C.L. Turner Nov 03, 2022

Show notes

C.L. Turner is the Founder and Managing Partner of Crescendo Capital. He has invested in 50+ companies and closed 13 platform acquisitions with multiple eight and nine-figure exits.

Through Crescendo, C.L. primarily focuses on low-to-middle-market businesses valued from $20M to $150M, and takes them to the next level by providing capital, operational expertise, and a hands-on collaborative approach to enable their organic and acquisitive growth.

What differentiates C.L.’s approach with Crescendo from that of countless other companies is that when they invest and acquire companies, they prioritize the cultural and personal fit of the acquisition with the founders and key employees in the company.

In our conversation, we dig into using leveraged buyouts for scaling and exiting, the importance of collaborating with founders and employees when acquiring companies, and C.L’s strategy for investing that he used to land 8 and 9-figure exits for his clients.

Free Gift

I’m sharing a detailed list of all the books I’ve read related to money, investing, lifestyle, and personal development. I average 70 to150 books per year, so the list is pretty extensive.

105: Let Go of the Past & Overcome Your Trauma with Stefanos Sifandos Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

If you want to live a rich life, one of the most important assets to invest in is yourself. You can have all the money in the world, but if you don't have your health, the money is pointless. While today’s episode doesn’t cover the usual investing strategies our guests normally speak on, it does offer valuable insight into how someone with a difficult past can face their fear, let go of the past, and completely turn their life around for the better.

I’m talking with Stefanos Sifandos. Stefanos is a behavioral scientist and relationship expert who has worked with Elite Special Forces soldiers, Olympic Gold Medalists, high-performing CEOs, entrepreneurs, world champion fighters, and everyday people, helping them to move past their trauma and step into freedom.

Before Stefanos could help all those people, he needed to help himself first. He grew up in a low-income family with an abusive father, and the trauma he went through as a child wreaked havoc on his life as an adult. He became addicted to food, porn, sex, and abusive relationships.

After years of struggle, he decided to stop the past from influencing his present. He explored his deep-seated pain and saw the man he could be if he didn’t allow those demons to define him. Today, he no longer fears his insecurities and isn’t afraid to share them with those he loves.

In our conversation, we dig into the importance of facing and working through difficult emotions and past traumas, and surrounding yourself with people who believe in you.

We also go over Stefanos’ strategies for doing the inner work he used to overcome years of depression and feelings of self-worth, so he could build a thriving business and freedom lifestyle.

Free Gift

Stefanos and his wife want to share their experiential Sacred Union process with you, which is their framework for building an epic relationship with your partner.
