The Most Important Word - Audio Podcast

People ask me all the time, "How do I get covered in the New York Times, or how do I get that meeting with that CEO?" My response? 1 is greater than 0. 

What I mean by this is that people underestimate the steps it takes to get to the biggest places in the world. It just doesn't happen over night. You've got to put in the work and you've got to continuously provide value to whomever you're trying to reach, be it an audience of a million, or an audience of 1. 

If you want to get the prominent news coverage or that high-profile meeting with today's luminaries, you need to do a lot of the little things to build up your cadence to actually get those opportunities. Because people have seen me on shows like Ellen, or Conan, The Today Show, or CNN, they often ask how they could get those opportunities for themselves, and the hard truth of it all is that you've got to earn it. You've got to put in the time to get asked to get that coverage. Before I was ever covered by any of these big names, I was doing interviews and appearances on shows that only received 1, or 19 or 137 views. But why? Why would I do that? Because those few views, that extra one view, is so much greater than none at all.

So, are you willing to take ten minutes to get 150 views? Because I am. It's not always about the width or the size of the platform. It's about the value you're providing to the people who took the time out of their lives to listen to you. Whether that's a group of ten or one hundred, or one million - It's all the same. And the value you set out to provide each time should remain as such. 

So my advice is to put in the work and do all of the little things that you don't want to do. Nothing is going to come easy so stop looking for that one golden moment. Work on expanding your reach and building your network through the value you can provide, regardless of the "reach" or the audience that may be present. Intent trumps all. And if you stick with that notion, there may just be that one person in that crowd of 5, 10, 15 people who can drastically change the course of your journey. 


One is Greater than Zero

[Bonus Track] Part of The Equation

There is something that is rarely talked about in the business world and I want to start building more attention for it.

That thing is self-awareness.

I’m upset that the narrative these days is that everyone needs to be number one, own a company, be in charge. A lot of people are going to lose that way.

Self-awareness allows people to recognize what things they do best so they can then go hard on those aspects of their life. It also helps you accept your weaknesses.

What works for one person doesn’t work for everyone. I want people to learn to be at peace with themselves, to understand what they can offer, because everyone’s got something. The key, however, is learning how to find it.

Self-awareness can help you do that.

Self-awareness is being able to accept your weaknesses while focusing all of your attention on your strengths.

The moment you decide to accept your shortcomings and bet entirely on your strengths, things will change. Trust me.

The Importance of Self-Awareness

Hard Work & Patience

In the last sixteen months of my life, I've changed something major about myself: I've started being healthy.

A year and a half ago, I was eating like crap, not working out, and generally feeling awful. It was a tough life, and I realized quickly that I couldn't sustain a life like that. It was impossible. So I hired a trainer to force me to be better. I made an enormous lifestyle shift, and I am so happy I did.

But it made me realize something about the current state of fitness entrepreneurs. And I want to shine a light on it.

Everybody defaults to what comes easy to them. That should be obvious. But greatness comes from adversity; it comes from looking a challenge directly in the eye and having the fortitude to step up and go after it.

This is what's going on with the fitness want-repreneur world right now.

Everyone is going for what is easy. And that isn't going to pan out if they are serious about becoming a business person. Just like I knew being a great business person wouldn't pan out if I didn't get healthy.

Fitness entrepreneurs want to do the minimal work and still expect a huge return. It's easy for fitness entrepreneurs to do the push ups, to do the squats and deadlifts because that is exactly what got them to where they are now. They started in fitness and now they want to make money just by having those guns or that body. They default into what is easy without recognizing what is hard: running an actual business.

You know what was hard for me? Waking up early. Not eating what I wanted to eat. Powering through workouts. Yet it was easy to build 50M dollar businesses.

I wanted to pass off getting up and running. I wanted to pass off lifting, squatting, stretching. I didn't want to do it. But I had no problem working eighteen hours a day, taking meeting after meeting, and putting in the actual work.

Fitness "entrepreneurs" want to pass on replying to tweets all day to get the word out. They want to pass off the marketing. They want to pass off working hard to create a great interesting post, or doing a bunch of podcasts to get a larger audience. They want to go straight for the mirror selfie so you can get a bunch of Instagram likes, then call that their "business".

Well guess what? It's not good enough.

I have sympathy for how long it can take for something to come together in a big way. I get thousands and thousands of emails a year from people saying they've been working for months at something and they aren't seeing results. It can be disheartening. In a weird way, working out has shown me that more than anything else. I've been working out for sixteen months now and I'm happy, but if you told me sixteen months ago that this what I would have by now, I might say "Ehhhh…"

But the reverse is far worse.

That's why I say to you: just start the work now. Do it. Work hard. Be diligent. Do not let up. You have the body. You have the chops. You did all that. Now get to the business side of things and grow that muscle too.

NY state of mind

Today’s episode is an all-time clip. I don’t know if there is a more powerful clip that I’ve ever put out and I hope you can sit down and really let this soak in. Please understand that your negative outlook on life is coming from a place of fear that was instilled in you. For everybody that is "scared" and "fear-based", don't see it as a negative reflection of yourself. You’re not bad, you are just hurt and need to understand that those are other people's thoughts being out in your head. Enjoy! Let me know what you think.
