97: The Simple System to Achieve Anything With Sivana Brewer 04/30/2018

97: The Simple System to Achieve Anything With Sivana Brewer Sivana is an ambitious and outspoken 20-year-old who believes the reason most young people aren’t achieving what they want is that they are unclear on who they want to become, undisciplined, and have a lack of support in education outside of the current system. From an early age, she has had her hand in different endeavors, including a successful fashion resale business, to a failed PR business. As a college dropout, Sivana has traveled from a suitcase for 14 months forging relationships and working with Forbes CEO’s, NYT bestselling authors, and online influencers. She is now on a mission to leave an impact through new forms of education, digital marketing, and influence. Sivana is passionate about speaking to high school students, reading way too many books (if that’s even a thing), and watching reruns of Survivor. Sivana is very much a kindred spirit and the epitome of a Successful Dropout with her approach to life and work. From her struggle to know herself, to her commitment to get 1% better everyday and her "RAD" system of reflect, align, do...Sivana has thrown herself into the self-directed life. We haven't heard the last of her! Some of the things we talk about Making money in high school Success versus accomplishment Struggling with who you are and what you should do with your life A system for figuring out who you, what you want to do, and how you're going to get there On purpose and passion On people judging you for dropping/opting out of the status quo Turn stress into an adventure Always asking "what's great about this?" The power of committing to being 1% better everyday! When is quitting something good...and when is quitting something bad? The importance of never losing momentum Advice for people who are thinking of dropping out of college Advice for people who are already on their entrepreneurial journey A system for progress and achievement (RAD) Reflect - Take the time to get to know yourself, what you want to do, be and have.

95: How to Build Something That Attracts People and Other Q&A With Kylon, Te, and Chelann Gienger This week I decided to sit down with my wife and sister and answer some questions from the SD community.

We got a great response and you guys asked some fantastic questions that we do our best to answer here. We don't have it all figured out, but we can speak from a lot of experience and the fact that we are STILL in the process of figuring it out. Here are some of the things we talk about: Benefits of a brick and mortar business versus an online business Business plans Business partners Raising money to start your business How to start a brick and mortar business with a family and busy schedule Being business partners with family and friends How to be a great podcast guest/what to look for in podcast guests Important financial knowledge to learn and keep in mind when starting a business Business and taxes - what to do?

93: Sailing around the world while building and selling 7 figure businesses with Caspar Craven 04/02/2018

93: Sailing around the world while building and selling 7 figure businesses with Caspar Craven Caspar believes in challenging conventional thinking on how leaders and teams become truly effective and create extraordinary results. Caspar has 30 years’ experience in building teams to make things happen. Starting as an entrepreneur at the age of 14, he has built and led teams in global corporations, start-up businesses, struggling businesses and high growth businesses. He built a team on a trophy-winning world racing yacht. But his toughest challenge by far was building his family team to sail around the world: with his wife and three children aged 9, 7 and 2. Along the way he has built multiple successful ventures from scratch and sold one for a 7 figure sum whilst sailing the Pacific Ocean. This was one of the most fascinating interviews I think I've ever done. Caspar literally blew my mind and compelled me to set new standards for myself, my family, and my businesses. This guy took his family on a two year long sailing trip and at the same time built three successful 7 figure businesses and sold one of them. I don't care who you are or where you are in life right now, this episode will have something for you...not to mention it will be very entertaining. Some of the things we talked about: Caspar's hair Distruption Early days and stepping out from the corporate world Intention, vision casting and goal setting How to build great teams and self-running businesses Throwing school textbooks into the ocean Stranded 500 miles off the coast with no power Watching a movie projected on a sail in the middle of the ocean Advice for students and young entrepreneurs More!
