Ruby and I discuss: Ruby's No Bullshit approach of just cutting right to the chase and diving into what the actual issue and how this approach helped her into her transformation Distraction of clarity is one of the common issues people tend to sway away from the root problem Being more devoted to your inner work than to your service because the more we can serve ourselves, the greater we can serve others Seeing leaders plateauing and how they start to feel stagnant and how she is there to support these conscious leaders The higher you rise in your leadership, the louder your fears become and new limitations, edges, patterns start to come out You need to confront your limitations, edges, patterns in order for you to continue rising Being vulnerable/ being real creates the connection What separates conscious leaders from the rest Everything we experienced helps to refine us and bring us closer to who we are and to our truth. On her journey on finding her own voice and sharing her story Having the courage to show yourself of who you are It's not about trying to create your voice but it's actually uncovering your voice.

Scott and I discuss: Scott's obsession for the last 10 years and how learning French inspired him to write his book "Ultralearning" How his encounter with Benny Lewis introduced him to Ultralearning - an aggressive strategy for learning hard things and learning it on your own Different philosophy when it comes to learning Learning in a non-speaking environment vs learning in another country Breaking down learning into principles The difference in learning languages in European and Asian countries Ultralearning is a strategy for self-directed learning that is also aggressive To learn something is to be bad at it (at least in the beginning) Their year-long project of not speaking their native language How one can maximize time spent reading as opposed to the number of books finished One reason you don't learn some skills is because there's a kind of will power you need to get over On having emotional reaction to things like learning If you want to learning anything, you can learn it if you approach it the right way Things that would qualify as ultralearning are things that people do all the time Debugging your own learning process and studying your successes and failures can help you improve how you can get better at things The capacity to think in terms of abstract visual spaces is related to visual working memory How his experience at MIT was transformative for him How Ultralearning can help someone going into business One of the strategies in the book is the idea of directness More about Scott Scott H.

Brad and I discuss: How at a young age Bradley got into entrepreneurship and started doing business Reading books like Billionaire in Training at a young age changes your direction in life Everyone can be an entrepreneur and not necessarily born with it Wealth is a magnifier. Money allows you the time and freedom to do the things that make you happy Learn, earn and return is basically the way money works. The more money you have, the more impact you can make. Wealth is not the goal. What you can do with your wealth is the goal. Building a business and not a job for yourself The goal of ActionCoach is world abundance through business re-education. Business coaching is successful because we make sure the owners are hold accountable to growth. The point of leverage is to do the work once and get paid forever. The challenge in making a leap into a business is to learn and gain knowledge. Making excitement win against fear On growing the business What he is looking for a business The definition of success in his book As a CEO, your biggest and most important job is recruiting. The vision of a company has to inspire people and enroll. Business should serve life rather than life serving business. The moment you stop learning the business stops growing. Learning how to make money and managing your money About his new book, “Pulling Profits Out of a Hat" More about Brad Sugars Brad Sugars came from humble beginnings but has built a life and a business that many would cite as the very definition of success. Sugars, a self-made multi-millionaire, is the founder of the global business coaching franchise ActionCOACH™, an international business speaker, author, and entrepreneur. Sugars has written 17 business books, the "Instant Success" series, which were originally self-published. In 2006, when McGraw Hill bought the international publishing rights to the series, it was the largest multi-business book deal involving a single author. His ActionCOACH™ team works with tens of thousands of business owners in more than 60 countries with his simple yet powerful business growth techniques every day. Professionally, nobody has created a bigger impact in Sugars' life than Jim Rohn. As a teen, he scrimped and saved his allowance in order to afford tickets to a Rohn seminar, and despite being the youngest person in the audience, what he learned there has informed his own business practices and philosophies on life. Sugars has a dynamic stage presence and enjoys motivating and educating other business owners through his online content (videos, podcasts), books and real-world interactions such as classes, seminars, and speaking engagements. His straight-forward Aussie style has branded him as a leader that will tell you what you need to hear, not necessarily what you want to hear--and for more than two decades, millions of people worldwide have been listening. Sugars is equally as passionate about his family as he is about business. A husband and father of five, Sugars and his wife are survivors of the Route 91 tragedy which affected the lives of thousands in Las Vegas during a country music festival in 2017.
