This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Greg Salsburg.  Here’s the first line from his online bio: Greg Salsburg has been ostracized by society since birth and became a disappointment to his family and all those who came in contact shortly thereafter. His freakish nature, early adoption of donning loud footwear and love for all things “Seuss’ian” made him a pariah on the playground.  
Intrigued?  How could you not be?
Greg is the CEO and Founder of STiR Communications.  STiR-communications is a business consultancy firm that leverages the ubiquitous channels of distribution to advance clients messages and bottom line objectives.
Greg’s success has spanned decades and is truly impressive working with everyone from Four Seasons to JP Morgan and even having Muhammed Ali and The New York Yankees as clients.  He’s won countless awards and has been a 20 under 20 recipient, 30 under 30 recipient, and 40 under 40 recipient.  How’s that for consistency.  Although his forward facing role is directing STiR-communications strategic and creative forces, it’s his transformational work with business leaders behind the scenes; through his mindful practice and real word acumen, that has earned him the nickname the “Consigliere Consultant.”
But, for Greg it was a straight up rise to success.  He was a multi-millionaire who lost every penny and had to re-invent himself.  He did this by embracing humility and seeking wisdom.  It’s this journey and what he learned and put into practice to create his success 2.0 that I want him to share with you today.

Hello Misfit Nation!  Welcome to another edition of "Lessons for Hannah!"

Many years ago, I introduced a new format that alongside our regular episodes called “Lessons for Hannah.”  Hannah is my daughter and one of the main inspirations for the Misfit Entrepreneur.  I wanted to have a place where she could go and learn from her daddy and his Misfit friends throughout her life….even after I am gone.  If you haven’t listened to the first episode of "Lessons for Hannah,"  I urge you to as it gives some more background and tells the amazing story of how Hannah came to be in our lives.

Lessons for Hannah are short, very useful, and sometimes comical lessons, that I want to share with you and give to Hannah to help in your lives.  Because I want Hannah to have these for her life, I’m going to speak as though I am talking directly to her.  These episodes are a lot of fun and if you think there is a lesson that we should include in these episodes, please don’t hesitate to send it over to us at support@misfitentrepreneur.com. We’d love to share it.

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Robert Burr.  Bob is one of kind.  He’s been in the oil business for over 40 years and has generated hundreds of millions of dollars during his career.  He’s shared the stage with everyone from Robert Kiyosaki to Peter Schiff educating people on the opportunities, benefits, and risks of investing in oil and gas.

Bob is a master syndicator and deal strategist…but you know what, he retired a number of years ago and after spending almost every day on the golf course and with grandkids, he felt the urge to come back.  It it was the pandemic that made him jump back in with both feet because it created some of the best oil and gas opportunities he says he’s ever seen.

I asked him to come on to share his wealth of knowledge on investing in oil and gas and his philosophies on business.

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Josiah "JJ" Hartling. If you’ve ever wanted to understand the mindset and strategy behind sustained high performance, JJ is the guy to learn from. He is the author of Stride and the founder of Compel Global, where he helps leaders and organizations harness their full potential through intentional action and discipline.

But what really caught my attention is JJ’s philosophy on the power of relentless momentum. In Stride, he talks about how small, consistent actions—taken daily—are what separate the extraordinary from the average. He shares how elite performers don’t just wait for inspiration; they create it through habits and systems that keep them moving forward, no matter the obstacles. As he puts it, “Success isn’t about speed—it’s about stride. The right rhythm, maintained over time, beats raw talent every time.”

That quote alone got me fired up to have him on the show.

On top of that, he has started and owned everything from print shops to video production companies and entertainment companies.  He was one of the early online marketers and has a number of businesses online.

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Niajae Wallace.  Niajae has an amazing story that I don’t want to spoil for you.  But, let’s just say she started out with nothing and by age 19 had started her first business and the success grew from there.

She had so much success that she was able to free herself to work when and how she wanted and now travels the world teaching people what it truly means to live an abundant life.

This is going to be an interesting and possibly controversial episode, because we are not only going to talk about how to create your own abundant life, but we are going to discuss some major topics on what truly holds people back, especially in inner city and underprivileged areas.  Niajae and I both have strong feelings about how to best help these areas and they are built on principles tested throughout time.  I knew when we connected on this level and were able to discuss these topics, I had to have her on the show and share her wisdom with you.
