A Compilation: Stop Overthinking Your Mistakes

Want to push towards success? Then take this one to heart. Everyone makes mistakes, but what you do with those mistakes is what makes you. Stop dwelling on them and use them as an example of what not to do again. Not one leader will tell you they’ve had everything go perfectly and exactly as planned. Take the shit that comes along with the riches and make your mistakes. Love this one guys, enjoy it :)

A Rant: My Thoughts on Company Culture & Office Design

How your employees feel doesn’t depend on the free granola, or fancy amenities. Here’s what I really think about all those goodies. It narrows down to feeling safe and letting them know they have room to grow. It’s true, it really is. If your company has issues, installing a water fountain with a thousand flavors, or a beer tap isn’t going to cover it up and make everything all better. It comes down to the people and how they feel. Enjoy this one and think about what your company instills.

An Interview WIth ONNIT CEO Aubrey Marcus | 40 Mins of FIRE

Here’s an interview with my man Aubrey Marcus, CEO of ONNIT, on his podcast. He’s a mastermind entrepreneur and fitness expert who built at $28 Million fitness brand in 5 years. I loved getting down into what makes a true entrepreneur - Staying true to your own DNA, not counting on other people to get you to that next level, and learning checking your feelings at the door, because nobody cares about you as much as you. Going to six birthday parties every week isn’t what’s going to push you ahead...

A Q&A For Small Businesses

Small business owners, this one is for YOU. The questions here stem from the BioGuard conference I spoke at a few months back and boy were they fire. If you're a small business and you're looking to grow locally then it's a no-brainer that you need to harness the huge amount of tools sitting in front of you. In this one we cover questions relating to where to get started with social media (hint, Facebook Ads and down and dirty customer data) and why you NEED to learn to build social strategies i...

A Rant: WHAT TO DO AFTER COLLEGE

COLLEGE GRADS LISTEN UP! You’re about to enter the part of your life where you make the most opportunity for yourself. Now’s the time to get out there. Now’s the time to be willing to work for nothing and get yourself to where you need to be. Stop craving the short term gains and think about where you want to be when this window is gone. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know exactly what you want to do - it only matters that this is the 5 year window for you to attack the life that you want to win...

Work Harder: A Compilation

This is what it’s all about. Whether you’re growing a brand or starting a new company, there’s only one thing in your absolute control: WORK. Practice it. Preach it. Do whatever you gotta do because it’s the single most important thing in moving forward. Sleep has nothing to do with it. Sleep as much as you can as long as you're maximizing the hours that you're awake. There’s no success without sucking it up, putting in the time and pushing yourself harder to get where you want to be. Get hyped,...

A Rant: Play to Be In 2020

Stop living in the SHORT TERM and think of what’s on the table further out. I can’t say this enough. If you want to be successful, it doesn’t matter what happens TOMORROW or NEXT WEEK. Think about what you need to happen to get you to where you want to be in 20 years and build towards that. -- ENJOY!!

A Keynote: USC's Business School

This talk at USC is not only one of my most popular talks but it's one of my FAVORITES and it gets me SO HYPED. This one was interesting because I was speaking to an entrepreneurship class and I just don't think you can learn to be an entrepreneur which makes for an interesting dynamic ;) To be successful you need to be adapting but stay loyal to your strengths. If you’re a true entrepreneur you understand the importance of taking your idea and running with it — there's no time to waste. You nev...

A Keynote: #SXSW 2017 LIVE Q&A

This year’s SXSW was a HUGE one for me .. can’t believe it’s been 10 years already. Loved talking about the value of attention & why you NEED to stop listening to the negative people around you. The pressure is on for young entrepreneurs, but I truly believe this is the best time to be alive and going after whatever it is you want to. You never know what you’re going to get at a talk like this but because it was in Q&A format, you know I brought some FIRE. Make sure to tune in!

An Interview on 'THE MFCEO Podcast' with Andy Frisella

Here's an interview with my homie Andy Frisella from about a year or so back. This guy brings some serious energy and we had a great chat alongside some of his boys from the way. He's the absolute model for what it means to 'Crush It' as he went out and built a massive business off the back of grit, patience, passion, and some smart branding. This one isn't for the faint of heart. Time to tune in and get fired up !!

A Rant: For All The Haters

The other day while out in Austin I just got triggered. Something came over me and I needed to address it. I just can’t fathom the idea that people are listening to the negative that others are throwing their way. GUYS - we only have one shot at this. Why are we letting the poison that lives in others affect our lives? QUIT ALLOWING OTHER PEOPLE TO HINDER THE WAY YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE!!

Now he's on new "mission" with MissionU, bringing a new age thought to how we approach higher education. Such an important episode for so many reasons. Hope you guys enjoy!!

As True Today As It Was In 2009

Doesn't get better than this. Here's a clip from a 2009 interview where we discuss the power of personal branding, the future of media, and how technology was going to shape our lives. This is why I love documenting so much because it's incredibly fascinating to see how things play out years after. Crazy to listen to all the things that were discussed in this interview and see how they actually played. Hope you guys enjoy !!

An Interview on 'The Rich Roll Podcast'

Absolutely love this guy. Not only does he have an incredible story but he's an incredible guy and I'm so happy that we got the chance to connect. This interview is from 2016 and it was the first time we jammed together. In this one we cover my mindset behind starting DailyVee (super interesting to hear what I was saying then and where it's come), the methods and mindset behind my content team's engine, and the connections between living a healthy lifestyle and being a successful professional. H...

An Interview with Salesforce

I might have different tactics when it comes to sales but don't get it twisted because I'm a salesman through and through. Sales can be interpreted as a dirty word to a lot of people but at the end of the day, a business isn't a business without them. Since I've been a kid I've been in sales, and yes, I might like look a little different than what many people think of when they think 'salesman' but that doesn't mean I'm any different which is why I love doing events like this especially with a c...
