I'm super excited for this episode. We got a good friend of mine, someone I've known for quite a long time now. It's been, what, 44 years or so, But Mr Robb Sperry, You guys heard all of his accolades right before this on you. No, man. I'm stoked to have you on here. How you doing today?

spk_1:   1:56
I'm doing great. Yeah. I was wondering where you were going to go, and you stay quite a long time. Because for some people, that could be like 10 15 four years. It does. It does seem weird to think we didn't know each other at one point. Right. When you start, you have all we've hung out in Sundance, Utah. We've hung out Mexico. Mexico hung out, like

spk_0:   2:16
Powell or no, you didn't take that trouble, Michigan.

spk_1:   2:18
And we've hung out Arizona. We've hung out all over, man. We've had some fun all over. All over, right?

spk_0:   2:25
We have. We have. So So for those you know. Oh, right. Yeah. That was a good trip. That was a good trip. That was a lot of fun. Yeah, we'll talk about some of these because we've had some good experiences. Mask, actually crazy. I don't even think about that. I've probably traveled with you more than a lot of people. I've known a lot longer than you. So that's that's cool. It says a lot. Um, yeah, for those that don't know I have. Ah, I've known Rob for quite a while. He came in, actually. Or now you brought us in to, ah, to a new company in the drug selling space Ah, a couple years ago. And you're kind of like the head guy that the main mentor for our team. And, you know, we Ah, we bonded through just mutual friends and other business partners and ah, and then you started kind of building your own brand. And I got to, you know, help out with that as well. And we launched kind of a separate company as well in that space. So we've done a lot of man it's been It's been a fun journey and it's cool to see you know where you're at today and I'm excited. You know, jump into some of that is you. You've accomplished a lot. You've done a lot. And, uh, you know, I just respect you know who you are and what you've done. So that's a little bit about us and, you know, in our journey. But one thing I wanted to kind of kick this thing off so that other people can hear it, you know, from human is tell us just your story, right? I know it's kind of broad. You've been asked that before, so you're pretty good at it. But what I want to know specifically is start young. I want to hear a lot about your childhood. I love you know, I've heard you kind of tell this before, but you talk about who you were as a kid. And you know, it's just funny, because it's not who you are today, and but it's interesting, you know, And I feel like it's very relatable to people, so kind of take us through that and then bring us tow. You know, the current day and kind of some of the key points along

spk_1:   3:54
the way. Yeah, everybody's got a story, right? If we sat down with everyone well of limiting, believes we all of insecurities, we all have fears and growing up for me, the way I won was collaboration at a young age. I didn't even know what that word Waas That's the way I want. I think in fifth grade you don't know this. I don't think I've ever said this on ST Stage, but I won for being the most friendly, uh, in the entire school. And so that's just kind of how I want. And part of it is is because I was naturally extremely fearful, very shy, but very ambitious, which is kind of sometimes can be a really weird combination, more rare combination. Or maybe we just all think that were rare and special. But it's for me that I was so when I was 14 years old. My brother was 12 years old. He was telling me my sister was 10 years old. She was taller than so you can imagine some of those insecurities and fears. I played baseball, and even as a 12 and 13 year old. I wouldn't swing the baseball bat, so my dad literally threatened to ground me. I think a month if I wouldn't even swing the back like bawling. Dad. Yeah, get sweet baseball bat. Just swing a freaking baseball. That's it. Just swing one. I wouldn't go to my friend's houses without my younger brother. That's the key word. Younger brother. Younger, taller breath. That's how scared I waas. And so for me, I would always just be nice to everybody. But I just had all of these fears. Public speaking was by far my greatest fear in church. It was taboo to say no to the church leader, and the church leader literally asked me 34 times as a teenager at one point showed up to my house and said, Hey, life, you should come speak And I said to him, You can call me up from the pulpit and I will walk out for me was very bold because I was so shy, Right? That's how security was. And so at the same time, I was very successful tennis. I was the number one tennis player in Utah. I played college tennis, I played semi professional tennis. I taught tennis. So yeah, I had successes and that success from tennis really help my self esteem and gave me confidence. And it was great because they didn't have to worry about the fear of judgment everyone else. Because when I played basketball, I was the guy that was just, like was so proud of just always passing like almost too much of a team player on everything that I did. I tell everybody I'm a recovering people pleaser. And so it's been It's been a process. So I just transition that ambition into slowly chipping away at those fears. And I still in overcoming many limiting Servi fears. I think we all are over the course of our lives, right?

spk_0:   6:56
Absolutely. Yeah, man. Now I think that's I think, what's interesting about your story and what I want to kind of get out what that is. You talk a lot about how when you were younger, you were shy, you know, you brought that up and what's what I find fascinating because I was kind of the opposite, you know? And so, for for me to hear you say that and then to see the level of success that you've gotten to in your life and continue to get Thio. It's fascinating. And so what I wanna ask you about that is when it comes to like entrepreneurship, you know, you went from being in the tennis face and prior to that being very shy, like you said, but still having that ambition. But yet you get into this, you know, a second, a segment of entrepreneurship that requires stepping way out of your comfort zone and talking to dozens and dozens and dozens of people. You mean you got into the direct selling space and and so and then you crushed it, you know? And you have obviously a story whole. All within that. But what do you think drove you? Thio, I guess get into the world of entrepreneurship, especially for two things. So especially because number one you were had that kind of shyness about you. But then number two, because I know that you were doing really well in your tennis career at the time.

spk_1:   8:03
Yeah, I think everything comes down to Nobody lacks motivation. When people say I can't find anybody who's motivated, I can tell you that same person isn't motivated is motivated in something we lack of vision. And so for me, even though my fears on the scale 1 to 10 word and nine, my ambitions, goals, dreams and vision were a 10 and I was always crystal clear is crazy as this sounds from very young age, probably even as a young teenager that someday I was gonna be the dad and the husband that could be around and could travel the world. And that's kind of just what have I think? Part of it is my dad and Green that. And so my dad's been so much time with us. I mean three hours of tennis every day. No other dad, you know, I was doing that. He traveled all over the country with us for tennis tournaments and spend time with us. So that kind of for me was what was to find a success because he grew up crazy, crazy, wealthy. And he said, Look, you know, it's what the money provides, which is time it doesn't, you know the money itself doesn't matter. It's what it provides on. And so I want to make a lot of money so I could have a lot of time, and that was what really resonates. So for me is I started the tennis club. I realized it's making good money. It's all relative to some of you. This one sound like good money to others will sound like a lot, but is a 24 year old. I was making six figures running a tennis club when the average tennis club instructor was 45 or 50. So I'm this 24 year old thinking. I got this dream, but I kept trying to make more money, and I couldn't. It's it's ceiling with captain, only so much you can charge for tennis lessons and there's only so many courts or you can fill. So in the second part to that Waas. As I transitioned, I tried to figure out it would have more time, and I couldn't. I mean, if I left the tennis club right, I wasn't doing my private tennis lists. Some, like she's have reached this ceiling. This isn't a leverage vehicle, so I was just trying to figure out how to create more leverage, and I started buying every small business magazine, every entrepreneur magazine. I was the wannabe entrepreneur and I'd go to all these guys that I was running this tennis club like couple guys now. I mean, this one guy sold his company for I think you sold it for two billion and another guy saw this company for three billion and I'm teaching them their kids tennis and another guy's companies were six or 700 million. He was known as the number one spammer in the world. How long plait? And I know the sound of proud title, but I would go to all their homes and I would pick their brains. Hey, what did you do? How did you make your money? And so I'm like live association. I'm thinking big and this one guy gives me 18 different books on an iPod. This dates that right? How long ago was this like 16 years ago? Gives me this. I bought nieces. Listen, he's like, I don't read books like, I didn't even read books in college and I just found the answers. Answer. The question sifted through and I was done with the book. He said, These will change your life. So I started listening to books. Over the course of six months, I listened all 18. I came back to Mike. What's next? And this individual has now made over $30 million men toward me for several years and several years. And then after that, he, uh, came to me and just said, Hey, I've got you know, something for you. That's entrepreneurship. And that's how I got my start. Really, And indirect cells almost 12 years ago was from this individual who I didn't even know who what he did because I knew he owned a lot of real estate. You know who he is? It's one crazy, intense, crazy guy. Hey, easy, right? Yeah. Wildman crazy and intense. But that's, um for me. And so for me, it was really just weighing out day fears and the ambitions. Right? And it was a battle. I'll tell you, in a lot of days, the fears beat out the ambitions. Sure. And but the war, the ambitions beat out the fears that the battles there were tons of battles that, you know, I just wanted to see. And what was the least amount possible? I could d'oh and find the busy work to dio about right, reaching out to new people and getting rejected. Like you said, I was trying to everything I could except for that. And then it hit ahead where I just said, Look, this isn't gonna happen if I keep trying to take the short cuts. The shortcut is actually the long route. And once I realized that the long perceived route was actually the shortest route possible instead of shortcut back down shortcut back down to work it back down, I could have just taken that one path. I've been fine. Once I finally realized that it was a lot easier for my ambitions to beat my fears.

spk_0:   12:57
Yeah, that's powerful. I love that might be the headline of this is a good call right there. Uh, no, that's really cool, man. And in one thing to that that I want to kind of talk about as well. On point out is your very, very disciplined person. And I feel like, you know, a lot of times it's just not necessarily the sexiest thing to talk about. So you listen a lot of these big entrepreneurs, you know, and like they bring it out, they talk about it sometimes. Bye. I feel like with what's not even feel like, I know that a lot of where you're at today is because of that. And you've been doing that for 12 some years now, so give us a little bit inside on that. You know, you're you have a very regimen routine that you d'oh. Um, you know, you allow yourself obviously some some freedom and some cheat days and things like that, but kind of sure you know, with the audience a little bit about your discipline that you kind of put on yourself and you can if it's evolved, you know, you can kind of talk where it started or where it's at now, just whatever you kind of want.

spk_1:   13:50
So I created this new formula called the conquers formula, and I'm changing the name. Sometimes it's vision in formula, sometimes a success for me. So we'll see what this is the premise of my third book, which I haven't even started writing yet. So it's like distant, distant, distant. But the premise of it starts with you can't out discipline a bad vision. So everything I just gave you like it's all starts begins with the vision, right? You just you gotta have division If you don't give a shit if I go to the jam and I'm working out I've got all this pain, pain, pain and I don't have vision of I'm going to get shredded or I'm gonna feel better or I'm gonna Whatever. I'm gonna quit the gym. If you got this vision that you know you're drinking alcohol, maybe you're an alcoholic and you say I'm gonna stop drinking because it's good. That's a stronger It's gotta be life changing for you to change. So it begins with the vision. Then I thought it was discipline which will get to, but it actually isn't. The second thing is environment for this formula. Because you can't out discipline a bad environment. I can't have the biggest vision in the world in sale. Cam an alcoholic and I want to stop drinking alcohol and I wake up in the morning The biggest vision of the world all sat next to me. I got 10 bottles of liquor right there, right? I can't do that. That's not gonna help me. I can't be the person that wants to lose weight. And I got my whatever. Those treats are that air your weakness and they're surrounded in your pantry, in your kitchen next to your bed so you can have discipline about environment. So second, these environment and that goes with love Association with fire in both offline and online, offline and online because we're the love Association. But it's online and offline. Social media People got one shot. That's it. If I see anything negative or I see in that bugs me, Shame on that may be the first time, but every time after that, shame on me. So I un follow block were unfriend, but I don't have time for any of that. So live association first development goes with that. You know who you're connected with. All this 30 discipline discipline isn't to take away from everything you've ever wanted. It's to give you everything you've ever wanted, so it can be known as a bad word. But I look at it is discipline is giving up your likes to gain your lefts. And too many people are addicted to their likes and they never gain their lumps. They confuse their likes on their laps and look, I'm not telling you to give up all your likes. Don't think. Don't think I'm being crazy. We all ever outlets. For me. It's movies, my wife when I see every movie, even if it's just a complaint about how bad the movie is, like we're some movie critic or something. So that's my outlet. Your outlet could be music. So for me it's it's associating and listing out what you're like. Someone, your lips. I love spending time with my family. I love spending time with my friends. I love traveling the world. I love serving others. I love feeling with my potential. So today I've been a blood smote work, work, work all today, and I've left it because I feel like I'm fulfilling. My potential is a person, and the greatest definition of happiness is progress. I'm progressing. There's a reason why most billionaires don't retire. You don't need the money, and everyone can't figure out what so true, so true. It's like people like when I make all this money, we retired. No retirement means you don't have to work doesn't mean you don't work. There's a reason why most people still work that other money, because we can't understand that until you start to make it. You think you can't you can't. I did a semi retirement thing for a year was the worst year of my life. I always thought it was the dream that was my dream. And it's so discipline is to give you everything you ever wanted. So for me, I in the last almost 12 years I haven't missed one day of personal development reading. I haven't I've only missed one day of reading some sort of spiritual reading. I haven't missed one day of seeing some sort of meditation or spiritually prayers. I don't miss date night when I'm in town with my wife. I do something with my kids every single week. When I go to church, I don't bring my phone. I haven't missed a week of working out. Then I create specific GMO daily method of operations for the baseness. Right? Uh, main tasks. I set minimum goals. What am I willing to do? No matter weapon? I don't feel like it. Then I said, you know, specific blitz. Sometimes it splits week. Let's day rights. Pacific sprints the cult sprints for a reason. You can't do them very long, and so I create those. Sometimes it's it's spread. I tried to do a spring our every single day. We're just all out like phones off. I'm just laser focus I list, like Here's today list my task. It's all these. But in order of what to do and I just go, go, go. And I get more done in an hour than most people do in five hours because I go all out and you know, I've got four kids. They're spoken in 15 countries. In the last two years, I've been seven family vacations. Andi, I've done three vacations without the kids with my wife, so I am heavily invested in my less and I've digested. Try to think, Is it divested? Defense has made you speak out loud like,

spk_0:   19:05
Yeah, I think it's a word will just roll that.

spk_1:   19:07
It's just, you know, it's one of the TR just thinking this we go, But, um, but I've done that, you know, given up many, so I don't watch you usedto watch the NFL and Sundays for eight hours every Sunday. Besides the Super Bowl, I don't think I've watched an entire NFL game, and, of course, we're with friends and still would for probably six years. Now it's not wrong if you guys D'oh music I have not listened to at the gym for 12 years because I listen a personal loan again. Not maybe your outlet. I'm not judging any of you. You got it wrong about your outlets. But for me, I started heavily investing in my love's in the last one which goes along with discipline his habit. Show me your habits and I'll show you your future. Show me your habit Social future on average, make 35,000 decisions and about 40 plus percent of those decisions are actually habits. And so this is the formula to have success in anything. And so for me, I'm always just I'm going through. Before I go to bed, I'm listing out my priorities and then I prioritized those like repartee structure In the morning, I look at him again and I write them down again and re prioritized, liken showed you there. And then I try to map out as much as that cannon and calendars. Even if it's lunch break 20 minutes, right? Or how long do I have? And so I'm just Everything is just Go, go, go, go! As you do it Yeah, I still map out, like, free time. I'm about, you know, fun time about I've got kids tennis, basketball games. I've got, you know, today I've taken, you know, one kid to school. This morning, I took another, picked up. Another kid from school. Took another kid to tennis already, right? And so I've done already a lot. I got the kids of this morning got their lunches made this morning cause this my wife's morning did my wife's morning to its sleep in because she wakes up at 5 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday toe workout. So it's like like, yeah, still doing the life stopped Stilwell in life, trying to get a structure to get done. What? I love getting not in a rigid, negative way. And what do I love? And let's get that crap done.

spk_0:   21:22
Yeah, I love it. So money value bombs there, man, that was good. That was good. Um, so the three things, the formula for success I loved us that wrote it down, vision, environment, and then discipline. And then you had a couple things under

spk_1:   21:33
the habits that go along with discipline. Would be contract worth two or three d,

spk_0:   21:40
right, Right. Cool. I love it. Yeah, so let's Ah, that's amazing. It's so detailed, you know? And I think that's cool because, ah, lot of times, you know, especially younger entrepreneurs for sure, which you know, my audience. There's definitely a lot of them. They get excited about something, but they don't really have a clear plan. They're just excited. You know, we used to say, back in the network marketing space just motivated idiots, you know, And it's like a the end of the day, like you can get a little bit of a ways and get some traction with that, for sure. But if you want to actually build something long term like you've done in any area of your life, you know this formula of success isn't just for monetary success. It's for any area of your life. Family health. You know all those air important. But if you want to get to the level that you desire, this is the formula and I love it and it goes along with, you know, any any big guy out there women out there, you hear? You're talking about talk about it. They say very similar stuff you know, which makes sense because it works, you know, which is which is awesome. So one thing I did want to ask when you were talking, this was this was interesting. Totally cool if you can't share this. But you said there was one day where you missed the spiritual reading at 12 years Cannon. What was that day?

spk_1:   22:45
So weird. Like it's funny when I say where wascause people think. That's why it is. I was in Vegas, but I don't gamble. You've

spk_0:   22:54
been a Vegas a lot

spk_1:   22:56
gambled, like, three times in my life. And I know that I have an addictive personality can get competitive. And I hate thinking I'm good at something that I don't feel like I have control over, so I just don't even do it. And so I wasn't gambling anything. I was at a friend's house, and I mean, it was just like late night talks. And then I just went to bed and forgot it. Woke up in the morning like, you know, was it? It was over a decade ago, and it was like this panic attack, like they'll likely

spk_0:   23:23
hit rewind real quick

spk_1:   23:25
because I'm all I love streets and minimums and discipline. And it was like, Ah, but you know, I think now it adds to the story of you know, all those things you do And then you know, the wine. You know, one time you missed in the whole point. Like I said, happy news is progress. And so it's It's, um you know, victims focus on the past. Survivors focus on the future hunkers focus on the present. And so you know, we learned from the past we've got a vision for the future. We need to focus on the present, and we all get to cut up right in the shame and the negative. Gil and I know that's a simple one where it's like, no need Thio. It's a joke on it, but it's more of a learning lesson on everything else that is much figured much. Try your best to learn from the past. Have a vision for the future, but focus on the president.

spk_0:   24:18
Yeah, yeah, what's not What's next? What's right in front of you. What can you do now? Yeah, it's good, man, I love that is so good. It was funny when you use the NFL to is the is the example. That's totally my Crocs right there. That's my outlet. The NFL is like games, Ron. It's like everything turns off. I like, have to watch him. It's so funny.

spk_1:   24:36
What's that? Four kids man is like,

spk_0:   24:39
Yeah, yeah, it's a little different position

spk_1:   24:41
because I worked really hard Monday till about Friday at two. And then I don't do anything the rest of Friday and then Saturday I'll do maybe an hour, That's it. And Sunday, nothing. And so I've learned to really just invest heavily. So wicked stuff done. So Sunday is pure, just family, family. We don't get that with NFL someday, right? Like Esso, it just became where there weren't enough that we're excited about it, which is probably my bad. I should have given a bigger vision, so but it does make it easier. I'll tell you that. I was obsessed with watching every sporting event everything and you know it's taking so much time and now it's very, you know, I tried to catch a couple of highlights on Twitter. It's game to the end. Watch couple close games for different sporting events, but usedto watch like my MBA team is the Lakers and groping Count Hyung's watch every game. You know, it's like, OK, a lot of basketball games. I'm only watching the nationally televised games and I'm trying to watch, you know, only after it's done to DVR and goes through sometimes even the highlight version on YouTube TV. So it's like 15 minutes,

spk_0:   25:52
right, right

spk_1:   25:52
end of the game to make you think so. It's just it's always right trying to figure out where you most productive. And then I figured out productivity axe. Um, what have you done this yet? But I started challenging myself one of my most productive, because it's like we kind of know. But I don't like notice me. We're doing this podcast right now. I don't do very much before two o'clock with anyone else anymore, like very little at all. No calls, no podcast for a few interviews, because that's when I'm most productive and I start slowing down after. But it's really easy to do stuff like this to still have energy, but my creative brain shuts down for my own stuff, so I tried to get everything I can done before, too, and then if I have calls you're gonna views your stuff like that, I'll do it usually toot of forward. And then after that, I start to shift the more family stuff. And so I started figure out when in my the most productive and during those times I don't I schedule very little

spk_0:   26:54
doggies. Yeah, that's super interesting, because I find myself being extremely productive as well until about two or three. So it's funny that you say that because about about two or three is when I start to like you said, kind of shut down and start focusing on more life things versus, like, business. But what I'd never thought to do is to move like calls and podcasts and, like anything that deals with, you know, outside of my like creative realm. So, like those times and then focus on, you know, the stuff that I'm more passionate about and want to work on during those times. I'm gonna take that. Actually, I like that a lot because I

spk_1:   27:28
get so much done. It's just

spk_0:   27:31
yeah, because then because then it's like what happens is it's like, you know, it's 3 34 o'clock and it's like I want, like I want to work on, you know, like my podcasts, or like my brand or whatever. But I'm just kind of mentally just done. I'm like, I just want to go chill and hang out, you know, with the wafer, Go see a movie or something. So, yeah, that's

spk_1:   27:47
I feel like for me. It's like an hour's worth of work is basically could have done in 15 minutes before 2 p.m. Yeah, after 2 p.m. It's an hour to get 15 minutes done, and that's where my diminishing return comes, where it's busy work to feel like I'm right like, you know, Granny and my face off where people misinterpret that. And so for me, it's like it's counterproductive. And I think just there's a new There's some new studies that have come out that say, after 35 hours, it's very little gets done from 15 er from 35 to 50 hours. Faras work goes after 50. It's pretty much nothing, and so people are doing it because they feel guilty or they feel like they're they're you know, they're Procrit, proclaiming how hard they're working in Stallion, and so I'm really taking that to heart of really trying to focus on not only how much but when, Um, I have the most productive And then, like things like logging out of social media And, like, I don't bring my phone, the church anymore. Date nights. I don't bring it on because I'm not addicted. My phone was not there, but it's There are 100% of fully when it's not there. I'm not like, Where's Buenos Aires? Have it. Go, go, go, go check. So I fully fully done that, you know? And that's helped. And that's what I've been studying the most last six months is how to be more productive.

spk_0:   29:16
Yeah. Yeah, that's really good. I love that. I'm gonna actually implement that in my my own life. So thanks for that. Um, cool. So let's shift topics here. I want to talk about your masterminds. Don't talk about your brand. I want to definitely give you, you know, a voice there to kind of share a little bit more about them. Um, you have built an awesome brand. The game of networking, the tea gone nation, you know, over the last couple of years what, 34 years now, like really hard the last, like 23 years. Um, and it's it's just cool, man. Because I remember being on a call with you when you first were like, Hey, I'm gonna like, kind of really go hard at this, and you're just asking me some for some basic social media stuff and ah, to see where it's out today. It's just amazing. I mean, you've done four masterminds and I think, right has it been four? I've been to two of our four masterminds all over the place. You've done Mexico, which I was at, which was amazing. You did Utah on Sundance, and you've done Hawaii and recently, And so you know, it's just it's awesome. You know, it's really cool to see that I get a lot of prostate, man, because, you know, being in the brand space, it's not easy to do that and, you know, to get people to show up and pay money and fly around, it's just that's incredible. So it's awesome. I want to give you a little bit of, you know, Florida. Speak on it, give us a little intro on what it is. I kind of talk about it in the intro to this. But you know, from your perspective, share with people a bit more about number one. Just the game of networking, what that's all about. And then number two, the actual specific masterminds where you bring in a lot of very high level

spk_1:   30:39
people. Yes, and given networking would really It's my first book, but it also just became a collaboration. And, you know, that's that's my greatest strength is I've always collaborate. Remember, I wanted fifth grade for being most friendly, and I was just so scared. So I just ratted myself with people that were great. And so that's what I've done I've done, I don't know, 200 interviews in the last two years. Uh, and so I just figured you know what? Why not bring people together? Why not bring people together? And I spent 1/3 of the time sharing my content 1/3 of the time. I have other guests share their content and then 1/3 of the time it's really just collaborating on everybody, giving their own perspectives and insight. So rather than most events where it's someone talking at you, this is more of a true collaboration of people getting their questions answered. So I have one that's a six and seven figure earner mastermind, which is totally different. I mean, in Maui, it waas. That was the first time I separated him. And it was just mind blowing because you know, you're going through, like investment strategies to burn out strategies to self care, personal care strategies to system strategies to outsourcing strategies. And then the six figure breakthrough is for those that have it made six figures and that every person boat like, literally, and that wasn't my intent. I had no idea. But every person ball and you're going through and you're you're breaking through beliefs as well as teaching skills because you need both. And so that was really great connection. And so, you know, those have been really, really fun and rewarding. Tell people have those breakthroughs, and then they create lifelong connections as well that, you know, I still see these chats that air active in people commenting and supporting each other, and you know, lifelong friends forever. And they help each other out their own businesses and refer each other. And so that alone makes it worth it, let alone the connecting the mind and the heart and let alone, you know, learning from ready just there. But the lifelong connections, it's just so it's been really fun. It's been really rewarding I'm gonna do for in 2020. So they too, for the six and seven figure in her and then I'll do two for Does haven't made six figures and, uh, you know, just keep shifting, changing locations and, you know, having fun with those. So it's it's evolved. Who knows where it will continue to evolve, But so far it's been It's been a lot of fun, and I think now we're spent 100 attendees about just over that and out of 100 all 100 have said that they would highly recommend it to their teams. An anonymous survey. So that's that's pretty cool. And each one keeps improving because we do anonymous surveys tricked out what people like or don't like. How many breaks which topics I take the 20% best topics and and use those again and then improve them. And that no new topics ride and the new like adventures, new things all. All this stuff like that you just keep doing it trying to dial it.

spk_0:   33:51
Yeah, yeah, that's cool, man. And it says a lot because I know when the two that I was at there were people that were at the 1st 1 that were also at the 2nd 1 you know? So it's like that says a lot right there, because again, it's, you know, these are high level masterminds. It's not like people just drive down the road and just show up. You know, there's a lot that goes into it on their end. And so for them to come again, you know, that's that says a lot. It's pretty powerful right now. Um, the masterminds that you do and run are specifically in the network marketing space. Do you ever see yourself like branching out and making a more broad or hitting other industries?

spk_1:   34:23
Yeah. So I just went to this fundraiser where I feel like I did really well this year, but I feel like I was, like, in the bottom 10% of income earners. I mean, these are guys like making like 2030 40 million, like the poor ones were making, like, 15 year on. I was just like, okay, This is cool and I thought about it and the thought has come to my mind for sure, because I love bringing people together. Um, my goal this year this sounds really crazy is to say no more. That's my number one goal for 2020 so that I can focus on my top. Yes, is my top priorities and I'm going to do that for this Next year's I'm laser focused and then one turn. Uh, I have highly considered doing this type of masterminds because the vast majority of my friends are in a network marketing vast majority, even the ones that I do small master minds that we just get together every month. They're not in recorded on dso. We're just talking everything. Tax tragedy, business strategies, online strategies, different investments, everything on dso I've thought about, you know, taking the same type of layout and bringing people together. So I don't know, stay tuned. We'll see it definitely something that I hope to dio and I could see doing not in 2020 but things happen quick so you never know, right?

spk_0:   35:56
Right? Yeah, that's cool. That's cool. Yeah, definitely keep me updated with that, um, awesome, man. So one of the things that I want to talk about two was when I was I remember being at one of the events. I think it was the Utah one and you drew a diagram, and I actually thought, this is really cool. Um, where you kind of laid out your priorities in your life and the way that you did. It was you had God, and faith at the bottom was like the foundation. And then you had your wife, and then you had your kids, and then you had your business. And I love your reasoning for that, and so kind of take us through that, break us down a little bit. You know why it's like that?

spk_1:   36:31
Yeah. I look at it as is your building and castle, and you know, the things around it or the habits of the discipline it talks about, like date and I working out to protect the things you're important. But you've got to figure out what's the core, what's gonna make everything else better. So for me and each one of you got to decide what it is for you, a lot of people put you first for me. I don't put me because I figure if I take care of these things, it takes care of me. So it's the same thing, just a different way of community. So however you want to do about any of you that are listening, you can go. So I put God. Number one is when I am well with God, I'm the happiest. And I know that the most important person on this birth is my wife and I have a much better relationship with her. So then after that, as we're building upon this foundation, is my wife. I know that as much as I love my kids happy wife, happy life and my wife is the one She's gonna be here. When my kids were all like they grow grow out of the house. Who am I gonna be hanging out with? Yeah, so I don't know. I got my bird extremely like She's the queen. You don't take care of the queen, the kingdom will fall. So it's like God wife. Then after that, it's it's family. Okay, so that's the next one. Then I do business right, because I don't take care of business about progress with my talents as well as I can tear with my wife for family. Then after that, I put personal interests. And then I put church, which you making crazy Because God and the church, you think there is a difference. All of these are important. There is one that I want to add. I'm not sure where to add which would be somewhere down there, but it would be just just taking care of yourself as far as, like, health, right eating and that sort of thing. Uh, so they're all important. Some to say any of them are important, but I don't understand the priority in the structure. So I look at is that the castle in the foundation of the castle and then the motor, all the things to protect that. So that's why it's that date night working out personal development, doing some of my kids every week. Seven family vacations, right? Don't bring my phone to church. All these things with a moat that protect the castle,

spk_0:   38:54
huh? Yeah, that's awesome. Man, that's awesome. So one of the things with this show that I kind of mentioned to you prior to this is that I really want to do is really kind of, you know, bridge that gap with with faith and entrepreneurship, because I feel like there's a lot of there's a lot of very successful people out there that don't really talk much about you know, their beliefs, whether they're scared to or, you know, whatever it may be. And and and I just, you know, for me personally, like that's the foundation of everything I do in my life and and honestly, all personal development comes from Scripture. You know, we both know that. And so with you, what role does your faith play in your business and in your life?

spk_1:   39:34
Yeah, it helps give me purpose. It helps Give me that vision I talked about. It helps get me through because of that. Get through the tough times. It's helped me understand, you know, our Heizer too high, Carlos or too low. It's helped me, too, understand other people in the sense that we all have trials and understand that we're all hurting a little bit in different ways, and we're all trying to find validation and feel important, so it's helped me to become a better human being and better father, better leader, better person, but her husband better at everything. And so for me, it's really become the core foundation. Because if you don't believe in anything you won't become anything, though you've got to figure out what your beliefs are, regardless of what they are. Because if you don't, it's gonna be really hard to have that laser like focus on What do you really want? And a lot of what you want is going to stem from what your beliefs are, regardless, if if you've got a specific church or not, just in general, what are your beliefs? If you don't believe in God, Fine. What do you believe in and what? How is that going to drive you and give you purpose? Because if you don't believe in anything, you're literally I mean, what's the point of this life? What Nothing matters. Nothing matters. You're gonna suck it everything. So it's given me a much greater purpose on, you know. Everything mattered.

spk_0:   41:18
Yeah, that's awesome. It's like the quote, you know, you gotta stand for something or you'll fall for nothing. It's basically sum it up. You know what you just said? Which is true, though, you know, because yeah, if you don't have that, like, kind of sense of belief in the back of your mind at all times. And it's just like, what you even doing anything for, you know? So now I love that. I think that's awesome, man. So kind of ending it up here. There's two final questions that I want to ask you. These were two questions that I ask every single guest on here, Um, and they they stem from kind of the purpose of this show, which, you know really like us to rather the goal of this show, which is to go out there and do two things. Number one. I want to interview what I deem visionaries. People like yourself. You talked a lot about vision, which is awesome, especially being the name of the show's fuel, your vision. But then the second thing is as what I really hope to do is when people listen to this, they watch this. They can get a sense of what their purpose is on Earth and because I just think that's so big and it's so important. And so the two questions I have for you. Number one is How do you think someone discovers their own purpose?

spk_1:   42:20
Yeah, a lot of times of struggle in there. I mean, don't panic if you don't know exactly what it is right now. Bye. I think all of us it all of us has a Jen. We all have a general purpose of making the world a better place. Let's just generalize and make it easier for you. So now you're trying to figure out what? What can you do to make the world a better place? So this is this makes it much easier. So you gotta ask yourself, what can you do to make the world a better place? And I've won list all of the things that you feel like you can. D'oh! And I would focus on a couple you can focus on too many. I know that and public speaking all over the world and I know that I can make a huge difference. And I know I've made a huge difference. Some people get annoyed by me and don't like me. That's okay. I'm not focused on that. But I know I've helped the Taino people. And so for me, that's one way I know I can't. I also know that if I don't take care of my own family, that's where I can have the greatest impact. I believe in the world. He's with my wife, for my kids, because think of how that stems on, how they can teach and others can teach, because that's the deeper, deeper right who they become his people. So in order to do that, I need to become a better person. So I look it is also is helping me to become better. And so that goes back to the priorities that I listed right and, you know, giving the purpose. And so, for you figure out what those are mean. I knew those things but took me years and years and years of knew I was supposed to be doing what I was supposed to be doing in that moment. But a year later, it was something different. And then, two years later, something different. I believe what I'm doing now I'll be doing in 10 years from now, but I don't know. All I know is I think that's the case, and I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing right now? I know. I feel good. I know I have energy. Maintaining is for take building his energy. I know I'm excited. I know I'm progressing because of that excitement. And so I think those were some key questions. Ask yourself a challenge yourself. This you're trying to figure out your really just meaning and purpose in life because that that's what we'll give you the greatest satisfaction and

spk_0:   44:34
happiness. Yeah, yeah, it's awesome. I love that answer because it's not like an esoteric answer trialling there, you know, just this. It's just at the end of the day, it is, you know, especially if you're young, right? If you're 18 2025 it's like, you don't necessarily have to know what you're supposed to do for the rest of your life. You know, you go, you do something for a couple of years, and then life changes in your transition and you do something different. And so now I love That's really good. I think it is very helpful, too. So go, man. Last question for you. What does it mean to you to be a visionary?

spk_1:   45:05
Uh, how is a good leader? Savage and great leaders get vision. So for me, being a visionary is having the vision so clear, Dad, you do create the right environment. But you do take the necessary action to make things happen that when that your vision is so big that isn't it isn't affected by your negative mood swings. Now, when I say it's an effect that I just mean that it's not going thio sitcom tips. Of course, we have those bad days. We're not perfect or even bad week. Some types overall, you're still gonna win the war, even if you lose that. And then I think the great leaders learn how to give the vision because many of us have that vision. But how many can get. And when you look at Gandhi, your mother, Theresa O. R. Whoever your favorite greatest leaders of all time, they didn't just have it that wasn't enough. They knew how to actually give it to others. They knew how to communicate to others. As Stephen Covey says, his definition of leadership is communicating the one they're worth of potential so well, they see it in themselves. And so you're able to communicate is not what a good coach does look at the greatest coaches in any sports. You know, they know how to communicate a vision so clearly that they could go to any team, and within a couple of years, they're gonna make that team pretty good. So that, to me is is having a big inefficient that actually boost you and propels you into action because you can tell me how big your vision is. Your vision isn't big enough. If it hasn't propelled, you can actually see. Yeah, I'm just not good at this one thing. Bullcrap! The reason why I say that is because let me give an example really strong one really bullfighter. And if anybody But if you're if you're walking out of your house and your house lights on fire and the person you love most in this world is in the house, are you gonna go back and save him? 100%? Why? The vision is so clear because you love that person so much that it's worth the risk. You're gonna do it right? What they say is big enough. So if you aren't taking enough action, if you're having enough discipline, if you aren't creating the right environment your vision isn't big enough. Your vision isn't clear. I need to get that vision bigger and more clear. Because if it's there, I promise you everything else will fall in place. Everything else will fall in place. Is division is big enough in clearing? It

spk_0:   47:36
will. Amazing. Yeah, that's awesome. That's a great answer. Amazing. Amazing. I rob where can people find you if they want to connect with you? What's the best way for them to come and connect with you more?
