Ep 143 Martin Gregus - My Wild Live 52:50

منذ 2 years52:50

52:50

Martin Gregus moved from Slovakia to Canada back in 2004, little did he imagine what the future might hold for him. Martin recently won the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year award from the Natural History Museum for his now-viral photo series chronicling the summer lives of polar bears on the western coast of Hudson Bay. The first time I saw those images on Instagram, I had a hard time believing they were real, I've just never seen polar bears shot in such a way or in such a setting before. His photos really show the bears in an intimate way, as if giving you a peek into their personal lives & personality. Martin has won multiple awards and has had his images published in many publications including the coveted National Geographic. In order to get these amazing photos Martin had to spend 33 days in the Canadian Arctic, getting close to the bears and making sure they are comfortable with his presence so that he can document their incredible lives. Martin and I discussed: Where his love of photography stems from How one prepares for such an adventure in the Canadian Arctic The patience needed in order to be a wildlife photographer The Canadian government’s lack of environmental accountability How he got comfortable being so close to Polar Bears Why he feels that the indigenous community has been misrepresented Learning from Wildlife His insane growth on social media The logistical undertaking of a 33-day Arctic expedition And much much more... Martin Gregus My Take: That old quote "find what you love and let it kill you" while extreme has kernels of truth in it. If you believe in what you're doing, all the sacrifices made in the name of achieving that goal are worth it, and all the hardships & hurdles are but the price you must pay before you arrive at your destination.

Oren and I discussed: The importance of creating a personal brand Why you don't need to reinvent the wheel in order to start a company Content creation Breaks down product development The cannabis business Lifestyle businesses Finding your niche How to find the right platform for your brand How to "beat" the algorithm And so much more... Oren Schauble My Take: If you intend to grow on the internet, regardless of whether it is your own brand or a company, it pays dividends to invest in promoting yourself in the space in which you reside. Being part of a community, regularly sharing information and insights, and helping, but also learning is a great way for you to grow and cultivate the niche that you are actively involved in. Remember, sprint, not marathon, don't be deflated if things don't "blow up" overnight, the long game is the right game to play. Support The Podcast⁠…

Karoliina is a Muay Thai fighter, turned MMA fighter, originally from Estonia. She currently trains in Thailand full-time and is dedicated to becoming the best MMA fighter she can be - with her sights set on the world's most prominent MMA organization - The UFC. Although she is still young, her clear vision for her future and determination to accomplish her goals are awe-inspiring.

Karoliina Arm My Take: It's not easy to have a vision for yourself, especially at a young age. Most people go through life just working and trying to figure it out as they go, never really finding their 'true purpose'. If you are lucky enough to find something that you want to dedicate your life to which can not only fulfill your soul but your pockets as well, you have to go for it! Support The Podcast…

Ep 139 Tibo - Zero to Millions $$ in 18 Months! 1:03:07

منذ 2 years1:03:07

1:03:07

Thibault Louis-Lucas, known as Tibo, is a serial entrepreneur and the co-founder of Tweet Hunter and Taplio. However, Tibo's entrepreneurial journey was far from an overnight success. Prior to Tweet Hunter, he attempted to launch & scale two startups with little success. His new approach was to launch 11 products, 1 every week or two, and see what sticks, i.e. what gets the most traction with users. Once they figured out what worked, then the real work started. Tibo and I discussed: How he recently sold his company and for how much His 250k loan from the French government His "failed" startups The entrepreneurial scene in France Why Twitter was crucial to their success What were some of the other products they shipped The importance of "personal branding" alongside building a company The rise of digital nomads & solopreneurs Why giving away a piece of the company was the best move they made The rise of AI And so much more... TIBO My Take: Failure isn't final, and success isn’t eternal. The key is to always progress, move forward and try new things. With the number of new tools available to entrepreneurs and online creators, it's never been easier to build. With that said, the standards by consumers for products have never been higher. The only way to ensure success is to try, try, & try again until something eventually sticks. Support The Podcast…

Ep 137 Neel Parekh - Growing A Remote Business 51:50

منذ 3 years51:50

51:50

Neel Parekh is the founder and CEO of MaidThis® & MaidThis® Franchise, which helps homeowners and short-term rental hosts (Airbnb, VRBO, etc) with their cleaning needs. They are the first cleaning franchise that specializes in short-term rental cleaning. The exciting aspect of all of this is that Neel created and scaled this lucrative business all while being fully remote - both him, and his team. Neel has been living the "digital nomad" lifestyle for many years, meaning he travels the world, while still working on his business full-time. Recently Neel decided he wanted to help other entrepreneurs who want freedom, so he created MaidThis® Franchise allowing other entrepreneurs to copy the blueprint in their local area. Neel and I discussed: What it means to be a digital nomad Where he got the idea to start MaidThis® Some of his favorite countries How many people he has on his team His advice for entrepreneurs just starting out The initial hurdles he ran into, and how he overcame them Why you don't need passion to run a business Mental health in the US vs other countries The benefits of travel And so much more... Neel Parekh My Take: Technology has changed not only the dynamics, but the whole notion of what it means to work. From the days of working out in the field to grow our food, to the mines to source our energy, and then to the office space. The workplace has forever been an evolving 'idea' - that has changed and adapted to the tune of the times. Nowadays, and moving forward, our definition of what it means to have a full-time job and go to the "office" is forever changed - which is an exciting concept with varied potential.

Ep 136 Dr. David Rabin - Are Psychedelics The Answer? 1:18:19

1:18:19

Dr. Dave Rabin, MD, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist, board-certified psychiatrist, health tech entrepreneur & inventor who has been studying the impact of chronic stress in humans for over 15 years. He is the co-founder & chief innovation officer at Apollo Neuroscience, which has developed the first scientifically-validated wearable technology that actively improves sleep, relaxation, focus, and calm, using a novel touch therapy that signals safety to the brain. Dr. Rabin is a staunch supporter of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Just like anything, these drugs in the right setting can be an extremely beneficial & powerful tool that can help people heal past trauma and potentially even improve our general mental health. David and I discussed: Why Ketamine assisted therapy is the only current legal psychedelic The wrongful stigma psychedelic drugs have He explains what Apollo Neuro is We cover the "right to try clarification act" and its potential benefits Why mental health is in such a decline nationwide The importance of touch The potential benefits of psychedelic drugs under the right guidelines The illusion of uniquenesses The mind-body connection with regard to mental health And so much more... Dr. David Rabin Apollo Neuro My Take: There's more we don't know than we do know. There are many plants, drugs, and natural ways that are deemed "bad" in a general sense but can heal people and have been found to be quite powerful under the right circumstances. Instead of demonizing drugs or plants (which are inherently not good or bad), we should be open to exploring and seeing if indeed there is a potential for good. Support The Podcast…

1:01:35

Alex Heiden is the founder and CEO of Closify His track record at such a young age only points to the fact that taking risks (calculated ones) is a worthwhile endeavor as the upside x the downsides. Alex's story should be an inspiration to any young person out there considering dabbling in entrepreneurship. Alex recently launched Trackify (a new endeavor), and in the future, he plans to launch more sister companies that will all complement and work in unison under the Closify eco-system/umbrella. Alex and I discussed: Being a very young CEO & Founder The importance of good mentors Being a student-athlete The trajectory that led to him starting Closify and what the company does Why founders/CEOs should focus more on creating an online brand via social media Alex explains what dropshipping is Starting multiple companies Why they’ve been bootstrapping the business Why colleges in their current format will become obsolete How to grow on Twitter And much more... Alex Heiden My Take: Take risks, especially when you are young - it's the best time. Before the marriage, the kids, the mortgage. Use that cloak of invisibility that covers you when you are in your 20s. Use it to take risks and chase dreams - build and fail, or succeed. At least you dared to do it, a luxury you might not have later on in life. So ya, take risks - dare to be great! Support The Podcast…

Ep 134 Yossi Ghinsberg - Surviving the Jungle 1:33:57

منذ 3 years1:33:57

1:33:57

Yossi is an Israeli adventurer, author, entrepreneur, humanitarian, and motivational speaker - known for his survival story when he was stranded in an uncharted part of the Bolivian Amazon jungle for three weeks in 1981. Inspired by the book Papillon by Henri Charriere, in 1981 Yossi decided he wanted to find his own adventure. He worked several jobs to save enough money to travel to South America in the hopes of exploring the uninhabited heart of the Amazon Jungle In Bolivia, Yossi met a mysterious Austrian who claimed to be a geologist. This man offered to take Yossi and his new friends deep into the jungle, with the promise to see the indigenous tribes who lived there undisturbed- an opportunity Yossi and his friends capitalized on. This quest deep in the Amazon led to the eventual death of 2 out of the 4 people involved. As for Yossi, he spent 3 weeks deep in the jungle, with no food, compass, proper clothing, or really any way of defending himself against the weather, the animals, and harshest of all - the solitude. His time in the jungle, his rescue, his life after, the book he wrote, and the subsequent movie adaption have all been part of his long journey which I was eager to talk to Yossi about. Yossi and I discussed: How he survived those weeks in the jungle, and how hallucinations saved him The hardest thing for him while in the jungle, and why he thinks that survival is peak performance A close encounter with a Jaguar, almost drowning, and eating monkeys The incredible story of how he was eventually saved/rescued The movie adaptation of Yossi's story, "The Jungle", and seeing Daniel Radcliffe play him His admiration for Daniel Radcliffe Why he only sleeps in tents Yossi's return back to the jungle, and living there for 3 years (close to where he almost died) How he helps the local indigenous community through ecotourism And much more... Yossi Ghinsberg My Take: When everything is stripped from you and death is staring you in the face, you quickly realize a sobering fact, which is - all you have to rely on in this world - is yourself! While at the moment that can be frightening, in the long run, I imagine that feeling to be a liberating and empowering feeling. Speaking to Yossi and having had an experience myself, I tend to believe this truth more and more. Support The Podcast…

Ep 133 Jacob Pechenik - Grow Your Own Food 1:05:12

1:05:12

Jacob Pechenik is the founder & CEO of Lettuce Grow , which he co-founded with his now ex-wife Zooey Deschanel. When they learned what goes into their food (additives, processed foods, toxic agricultural chemicals, and food miles), they decided to create a system that allows everyone to grow 20% of their own fresh food at home with no pesticides and 95% less water than traditional agriculture. Jacob has had a very successful and somewhat unconventional career, as he has dabbled in a few different industries and successfully managed to build and sell companies. However, no company has given him the sense of purpose that he has as much as Lettuce Grow and the vision to change our current food system. Jacob and I discussed: Lettuce Grow's mission Trading stocks at 14 Becoming a successful movie producer How the whole process of Lettuce Grows works The future of growing food The importance of locally sourced food What are weather derivatives? What is distributed farming? Being a CEO in his early 20's And much more... Jacob Peckenik My Take : I believe that as technology advances growing your own food will become easier, more affordable, and accessible. I think that over the next few decades we will see a massive change in the way our food is produced and how we choose what we consume. marrying agriculture & technology will allow us all to grow our own food at home, from salads to steaks to oat milk.

Ted McDonald, or Barefoot Ted, as he is more well known as, is the founder of Luna Sandals and has for the last 20 years been an advocate for mastering simple techniques for optimal personal fitness. His philosophy is simple - self-experimentation is key. Find your own path. Share what you discover.

Ted has completely embodied the lifestyle he preaches and has enjoyed sharing his philosophy on life with audiences across the world. As "Barefoot Ted", he has played a major role in defining and popularizing the natural running movement, being an early adopter of the current trend. Ted and I discussed: The interesting correlation between surf culture and barefoot running The many advantages of barefoot running Western culture's growing interest in indigenous cultures Where you should run barefoot Why so many sports emerged from California What's Ted's secret to longevity & staying youthful? Why self-experimentation is crucial His survival experience in the Utah desert (!) And so much more... Barefoot Ted My Take: Try everything once! New ideas are abundant, some are good, some are bad, and some are world-changing. Don't be afraid to try new things that may seem out of the box. They may not work for you, but there's also a small chance they could be the best thing you've ever done. The only way to know - is if you try it. Support The Podcast…

Austin Cohen is the founder & CEO of Flexit. Flexit is an app that provides users with on-demand access to fitness brands around the country by offering both virtual personal training and entry into gyms. Before the pandemic started in 2020, FlexIt allowed users to pay by the minute to workout at gyms where they were not members, but in March 2020 they added new features and created the Virtual Personal Training platform - which has been a big hit with consumers. Prior to launching Flexit, Austin was a founding member and partner of Wheels Up, a private aviation company. Austin and I discussed: The original idea behind Flexit and how that changed when COVID hit How they got their first customers How they choose the best personal trainers Future plans for Flexit His time with Wheels Up Expanding into international markets And so much more... Austin Cohen My Take: Adapt or die. If you are not implementing new technologies and innovations in your company your days of success are likely numbered. You have to keep an open mind and realize when it is time to pivot in order to keep afloat and win. Everything from the food we eat to the items we buy (and the type of workouts we are doing) is being changed by technology. You have to harness the power of change in order for you to offer the best experience or product to your end consumer. Support The Podcast…

Mike is a kickboxer with a Muay Thai background, currently fighting for Glory Kickboxing . In 2013, Lemaire entered a Road To Glory middleweight tournament and powered through it, stopping two of his three opponents. Fighting 3 times in one night is incredible, and this was his ticket into Glory. Originally from France, Mike grew up watching some of the greats in K1 - deciding that one day, he too, would be a professional fighter - fighting some of the elites in the world. Mike is also dedicated to a healthy and active lifestyle and regularly posts his health tips, training tips, and at-home workouts on Instagram. Mike says that he is not against making a run in MMA. He is a phenomenal striker, and with some training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, he could probably make a serious run in any organization - especially given his strong Muay Thai background. Mike and I discussed his childhood and fascination early on with martial arts, his journey and decision to move to San Diego and train in the Unites States, Glory rules, the current fighting landscape, his nutrition/training regimen, and his sweet pit bull. My Take - the fight game is an extremely difficult pursuit, one must dedicate their whole life - enduring physical and mental hardship to be able to make it to the very top. I think martial arts draw great parallels to life as a whole. They teach us that through respect, hard work, and perseverance you can achieve your goals.
