Expert Talk - TikTok vs. Facebook, Crime Hits My Backyard & Living Life On The Road…

Today’s episode is going to be a little bit strange. My guest today is… ME!  That’s right, I’m trying something new with today’s episode and I’m having one of my great friends and Board of Experts member, Kaci Brown, interview me. Here’s the deal. I didn’t prepare for this interview AT ALL. So the answers that Kaci pulled out of me are completely raw. And that’s why I love Kaci. She knows the exact questions to ask me to get my most raw and honest responses. I shared some things on this podcast I’ve never shared publicly before!

ChatGPT and AI have been by far the biggest stories of 2023. Everywhere you turn, someone is talking about the insane applications for AI. Well, Shawn Quintero said something on today’s podcast that completely blew my mind.  He thinks we’re just 10 years away from AI being indistinguishable from humans. Read that again. Yes, just 10 years. But then he posed a question that REALLY caught me off guard… Does AI have the capability to replace God in our lives? Shawn is an absolute EXPERT when it comes to AI. He knows more about it than almost anyone I’ve talked to.  This was one of the most fascinating conversations I’ve had in a LONG time. And the timing couldn’t be any better with AI dominating every headline. Give this a listen and let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Anyone who’s tried to build an organic audience will tell you the same thing: it’s HARD.  It takes dedication, motivation, above all else, consistency. My guest on the pod today knows that better than anyone.  Jaspreet Singh started his own YouTube channel for fun, and eventually built it into a subscriber list of over 2.5 MILLION people. And along the way, something even more valuable happened. He built an extremely strong personal BRAND. Now, he’s used that personal brand to build an entire media business and take his career to a whole new level. This was such an inspiring conversation - let me know what you think in the comments!

We’re back with another “Expert Talk” and I have two amazing guests today.  The first, Derek Gehl, I’ve known for almost 20 years now. In fact, he was the president of the company that I bought my first ever marketing course from! We also had the opportunity to speak with Stefan Ciancio - and entrepreneur who’s absolutely crushing it in the SasS space while living a “life on the road.” I love these Expert Talks because we cover so much ground and I get such unique perspectives. This episode is the perfect example.   We went deep on everything from…   Facebook Ads vs. TikTok Ads - which is better? Is a TikTok ban really coming our way? Crime literally hit my backyard… Living the entrepreneurial life on the road… Paying for a blue checkmark or not… Watch now and leave me a comment!  

There’s something I say to all young entrepreneurs: Hustle culture can be deadly. We’re constantly going 100 miles per hour working on our businesses, and we end up paying for it later. I’m the perfect example. I’ve been very open with you all about my own health struggles. A lot of it is a direct result of stress and overworking. That’s why I was so excited to talk to Dr. Alka Patel today. She likes to say she went from prescribing pills to prescribing lifestyle. After facing massive burnout and some incredibly tough physical illnesses, she made a MASSIVE shift in her own lifestyle. And now, she’s using that experience to help her patients revolutionize their lifestyles and feel YOUNGER and healthier.  There are so many helpful tips in this episode - one of my favorites was how she helps patients dealing with overwhelming stress and burnout.

You know when you feel “stuck” and you just can’t seem to achieve whatever goal or outcome you envisioned? It happens to all of us, and it can be extremely frustrating. Well, today’s guest has come up with a SYSTEM to find success in so many areas of his life - including ones where he was a total beginner.   It seems like Richard Garcia has succeeded with almost everything he’s tried. And it’s not because of luck or coincidence - it all comes down to his system.     Man has that system worked. He’s young, he travels the world, and he’s incredibly successful in so many different areas. He’s also held incredibly high-profile jobs at companies like Solar City, Tesla, Google, and Facebook.   In today’s episode, we dove deep into his extremely versatile career and how he’s been successful in all walks of life.   This was such an inspiring conversation.

We’re back with another “Expert Talk” and we had such an IMPACTFUL conversation that I think everyone can incorporate into their business. The biggest topic - creating qualifying ADS for your audience. We’re talking about immediately letting your audience know absolutely everything about your offer, including the price, in the out. Just lay it all out there! For high-ticket offers, this is an absolute game-changer. And this whole conversation was packed with gems like that. It’s no surprise. I welcomed 3 marketing rockstars onto this Expert Talk - Jordan Mederich, Dan Ryder, and Rocio Arroyave-Egipciaco.  We covered so much ground in this episode…    My first weird experience with RACISM… US Dollar Crash Coming… 2030 World Ends?... Trump Indictment… My Conspiracy Theory on Why He’s Indicted… How We’re Actually Using A.I. In Our Marketing (Not Just Theory)...   Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think in the comments!

We all have points in our lives where we have to go through things that are extremely difficult. Maybe it’s a divorce. Or a business failing. Or a huge fight with a loved one. Or an illness. You get the idea… Today, I want to explore how we can take those terrible experiences life throws at us, and turn it into one of the best experiences of our lives. I know that sounds daunting - but today’s guest is living proof.  I spoke with Christina Rowe who is one of the most calm and even-keeled entrepreneurs I’ve ever met. After this conversation, that demeanor makes perfect sense. She took one of the worst incidents of her life and made it into her BIGGEST break. Now, she has a Facebook group of over 650,000 women that she’s empowering. Craziest of all - she never set out to be an entrepreneur. But she made the most of this situation and never looked back. There is so much to learn from Christina… If you’re interested in joining her group, check it out at http://womenhelpingwomen.group/

I’ll get straight to it. Today’s guest runs a $100 MILLION a year portfolio of companies. Yes, you read that right. $100 Million a YEAR.  And the 36 companies he owns generate revenue in some astounding ways… With newsletters. By raising capital from investors. Some literally with simple Google Docs. And so many other fascinating ways (that we covered in this pod).The more I see what he’s doing, and the more I learn about how he thinks, I wonder how we didn’t connect years ago. We covered so much ground in this episode and Scott dropped more “golden nuggets” than I can even count. Watch this episode ASAP, and hit me up in the comments with your thoughts!

I've known Sid Peddinti for a long time, but he shared a story on today’s podcast I’d never heard before. Back before the last recession, the bank forced his $7 million a year business into bankruptcy, even though it was completely financially stable.  Today, he came on the podcast and shared the strategies he shows his clients for protecting their businesses and wealth from the same type of scenario. Sid’s helped me in the past with some BIG projects, so when he talks, I listen!   And you definitely want to hear his story and how you can protect yourself from the same thing!
