If you've every wanted to crush it in business and life then this episode is for you.

Our next guest on The School of Greatness was a local legend at 12 years old by making thousands on weekends from selling baseball cards at a local mall and later took his fathers company from $3 million to a $45 million business with his online marketing savvy.

He's written two New York Times bestselling books and his most recent book is all about how to tell your unique story in a social world.  Although he may never beat me in ping pong or a basketball game (ha ha), he's one tough competitor to chase in business, so please welcome my friend, Gary Vaynerchuk.

Gary Vaynerchuk: Inside the Mind of Entrepreneurial Greatness

I learned how to build a multi-million dollar business by “Keeping The Main Thing The Main Thing!”—by focusing my efforts on how many times each day the Isagenix story was being told. Along the way I learned that most people “objected” to something on the way to saying, “Yes!” I also learned that “objections” were simply the prospect’s way to request more information. Once I understood that, I began to welcome objections because I saw “objections” as an opportunity to further the conversation. Here's how....

WHAT SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT LEADERSHIP by John C. Maxwell, Read by Chris Sorensen- Excerpt

“NO ENTREPRENEUR CAN BE SUCCESSFUL WITH SOMEONE WHO ISN'T INDEPENDENT” 

As you know, it’s important to continually grow (especially if you’re an entrepreneur). I’m not excluded from that. Ten years ago I read a book by Gary Vaynerchuk that changed the course of my life.


On this episode of the School of Greatness, Gary returns to the show for his third time. He gives me advice for my next ten years but also gives you invaluable advice on so many topics that you won’t hear anywhere else.


Gary is known for his unapologetic truth-telling attitude. He says a lot of things on social media that people may feel are harsh or extreme. But when we were talking, Gary revealed he actually cares deeply about what people think about him. And that’s why he’s so committed to serving people with hard-earned business wisdom in the long run.


He explains why teenage nerds are winning right now, how hitting the big lists isn’t what matters in business, and why you need an independent person in a romantic relationship.


If you aren’t familiar with Gary, you’re missing out. Gary is a serial entrepreneur and the CEO and co-founder of VaynerMedia, a full-service digital agency servicing Fortune 500 clients.


Gary rose to prominence in the late 90’s after establishing one of the first e-commerce wine sites, WineLibrary, helping his father grow the family business from 4 to 60MM in sales.


Gary is also one of the most sought-after public speakers alive today. He is a venture capitalist, 4-time New York Times bestselling author, and an early investor in companies such as Twitter, Tumblr, Venmo, and Uber.


You’ll learn everything you need to know about how to become the best of the best, on Episode 595.

Tim Grover: Achieving Peak Performance

Philosophy of the Rich (Smoothe Mixx)

Financial Independence

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR MONEY, TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE.

Talking about money can be hard.

Most people would rather talk about dying than money.

It’s important to come up with a game plan.

When you get organized with your finances, the stress starts to go away.

Ramit shares tools and strategies to make the most out of your money no matter how much you make.

He argues that you can buy as many lattes as you want and still be financially successful by focusing on the bigger picture.

Listen to Episode 712 to what to do with your money if you’re a high earner and how to develop a plan if you make less than 150K. This episode is for everybody.
