Jim Kwik On How To Have a Limitless Brain and Increase Your Brain Power
We make mistakes, but mistakes don't have to make us. There's no failure, there's only failure to learn something from those mistakes. Sometimes we get stuck, because we won't take a chance on something, because we're afraid of looking bad. Some people will take a class on coding or speed reading, and if they're not good at it the first time, they don't want to look bad in front of other people. I want to encourage people to make their own mistakes and then learn from them, that's how we grow. I don't know one strong person that had an easy life. My biggest challenge was learning and now that became my strength.  Jim was once known as the “boy with the broken brain.” A childhood head injury at age five left him struggling in school. For a while, he even believed he could never be as good as other kids when it came to learning. Jim loved superheroes as a kid – and comic books saved him when conventional education couldn’t. Comic books taught Jim how to read…and they also kept his dreams alive that one day he, too, would find his inner superpower. As the years wore on, fate led Jim to a mentor, a friend’s father, who sent him on a journey to learn about his brain and learn how to use it. Little did Jim know, it would take him down the long path of discovering different learning habits, including accelerated learning systems and tactics. Jim discovered that, no matter the circumstances, we can rebuild our brains. And after working on himself, he realized his brain was not broken…it just needed a better owner’s manual. This shattered Jim’s own limiting beliefs – and over time, it became his passion to help others do the same. For the past three decades, Jim taught his learning techniques to students from universities such as Harvard, CalTech, and Singularity University. As well as executives and employees from companies such as Google, Virgin, Nike, Zappos, GE, 20th Century Fox, Cleveland Clinic, WordPress, and institutions like the United Nations to get the most out of work and life. In today's episode you'll discover: The biggest brain "lies" you still believe about your brain How Jim went from a serious brain injury that made it hard for him to learn to becoming the top brain coach in the World Your brain animal type according to Jim's C.O.D.E and how to leverage it to do things better The 10 things you can focus on right now to build a stronger brain And so much more!

"Most people are scared to start. That's not fear, no one's trying to hurt you. You're calling it fear but the truth is, you're just embarraseed to be seen starting small.

Vishen Lakhiani On Unleashing Abundance and Elevating Entrepreneurship Through Mindvalley
Go to carolinamillan.com/mvalley to learn more. "If you're looking to grow a company, it's like deciding to go on a really long run. So, usually most people after 2km they say "I'm done". Then some people quit after 5 km. And there are some people who just don't wanna quit, they want to run the marathon. It aches, it hurts, and when you get to 21 km your body says "you can't go on", it becomes really hard, but after that, it becomes easier. Some people want to go all the way to 100 kilometers. The same is true for business. For some people 2 million, 5 million is enough. Some get to 20 million, and only 1 in about 5,000 businesses ever scale to 100 million. For me, 20 million was like the 21km mark. I was stuck there for a long time. After you grow past that, it becomes easier. It's easier to scale when you're at 100 million than when you're at 10 million." Vishen Lakhiani is the Founder of Mindvalley, an award-winning education movement with millions of students worldwide and growing fast. He's also a New York Times Best-selling author.

Seth Godin On AI, Marketing And The Song Of Significance
"The way we create significance is by creating the conditions for people to make promises and keep them. To create the conditions for people to do work that they're proud of. The best job they ever had. If it's not the best you ever had, you get a better offer, you're gonna leave! What makes it the best job is that there's a journey, a quest, a mission. The way we talk to each other, the way we are trusted, that makes it the best job we ever had. The bosses that are insisting that people come back to work in an office so they can put them under surveillance, I think you need to do that if you have a bakery, cause you can't bake from home. But, in general, I think if we're working with ideas, distributive work is so much more efficient and so capable of magic, that it's a mistake to walk away from it." Seth Godin is the author of 21 international bestsellers that have changed the way people think about work. His books have been translated into 38 languages. Godin writes one of the most popular marketing blogs in the world, and two of his TED talks are among the most popular of all time. He is the founder of the altMBA, the social media pioneer Squidoo, and Yoyodyne, one of the first internet companies. In this episode you'll discover: What inspired Seth to write this book and manifesto at this time The best way for Managers to become Leaders The surprising result of a survey he conducted asking people what's the best job they ever had. The one question Seth has never been asked before... and his answer How AI is shaping the way we work and do marketing And so much more!  Get a copy of Seth's new book on Amazon here!

Donald Miller On How To Grow Your Small Business
"What you wanna do in order to sell more products, get elected, or whatever it is that your agenda is. You want to own the problem. So whoever owns the problem of making a headache go away, is gonna sell more medicine. Whoever owns the problem of getting you from point A to point B in a quick period of time is going to dominate the transportation industry.  For all of us Entrepreneurs, the most important thing you can do is figure out what problem you solve and communicate it and articulate that solution very very clearly to that problem, over and over and over again, until people have connected in their subconscious that problem with your solution.

CJ McMahon on How To Build And Grow Businesses With Social Funnels
"One of the things that I'm known for is "the Mullet Marketer", it allowed me to break through in a significant way. As soon as I decided to push myself to being out there and being "the Mullet guy", that's when my business took off. So identify within yourself who do you want to be and what can make you different. Embody your target, be your target and service your target. Some people, when they're first starting out, they try to hold themselves to a certain standard, but what people really want is authenticity. It's all about alignment to the target, people want connection." CJ McMahon is the founder of Mullet Marketing, a company that specializes in growing and scaling high ticket businesses.

Pio Vincenzo On NFTs The Nifty and future of Web 3
"I think we're in the midst of some new macro trends. For the past two years there's only been two macro trends: digital identity, or profile picture collections, and generative artwork, both are favored by the market. I think that the data shows that those are the only two areas that are truly favored by the market. If you look at how much liquidity has gone into those two areas of NFTs, it's really hard to make a case for anything else being a true macro trend. If you look at Bored Ape Yacht Club there's literally 713K+ ETH worth of secondary market volume. Doodles, another 160K ETH. That's billions of dollars in these collections. If you look at Chromie Squiggle, a generative art project, there are 60K ETH of secondary market volume. There's a belief that generative art is going to be a big movement in our history, and that buying these is buying the foundational early pieces that will eventually be priceless, similar to a Picasso." Pio Vincenzo is the co-founder of The Nifty, a web 3, venture backed media company. Pio is also the co-host of a daily morning show along with his co-founder Nick O'Neill. During today's interview, we talked about Pio's background, the beginnings of his Web 3 journey, current trends in the NFT space, future plans for The Nifty, and so much more!  Connect with Pio on Twitter @piovincenzo_ and tag him and myself when you listen to the interview!

Ep 176 - Tom Bilyeu on Impact Theory, Web 3 and the Entrepreneur Mindset for Success
"The only belief that matters is if you put your time and energy into getting better at something, you actually will get better. The reason, is that when people feel lost, stuck and hopeless, is because they think that where they're at is a permanent state. But it's not, if you realize that where you're at is a reflection of the choices that you have made thus far and your current skillset. However, you can make different choices and get a different skillset. That just completely changed my life." Tom Bilyeu is the co-founder of billion-dollar brand Quest Nutrition and the co-founder and host of Impact Theory. Personally driven to expand people’s vision of wellness to a 360-degree view that encompasses body and mind, Tom created Impact Theory to help people develop the skills they will need to improve themselves and the world.

Ep 174 - Elena Cardone On How To Build An Unbreakable Business and Mindset
"You have to know what you're willing to give up to get where you want to go. A lot of that is mindset. You have to make sacrifices. Every dollar that we earned went into our own self-enhancement, like doing a course or learning from someone who had the knowledge in the area we wanted to specialize in. Once that paid off, then we were able to invest money back into our business. We were still broke, we were making money, but we were spending it all back into ourselves and our business. Then, we started to hire out, because no empire can be built alone. You will have to depend on somebody if you intend to build an empire. You can't do everything. You have to see the people you hire as investments. Finally, when we had enough money left over, we invested it in income-producing properties that produced cash-flow every single month, and that's what funded our lifestyle. Now even as billionaires, we don't violate those principles, we spend earned income only in enhancing ourselves." Sign up for the Unbreakable Business Challenge at UnbreakableCarolina.com Elena Cardone started her career in Hollywood and soon became a successful model and actress of TV and film fame.  A lifelong competitive sport shooter, and now wife, mother, author, businesswoman, empire builder, event producer, mentor, public speaker, and visionary.

Amanda Holmes on The Dream 100 And The Ultimate Sales Machine For Your Business
"The fastest, least expensive strategy to double your sales is The Dream 100. It started with my dad working for Charlie Munger. He was given a list of 2,200 potential clients to cold call. He analyzed the list and discovered that 167 clients had bought 95% of the space. He then decided to laser focus on those 167 dream clients and began to follow up with them weekly, adding value, sending direct mail, and more. Within 6 months he closed one of the biggest contracts the industry had ever seen, out of those 167, and the company continued to grow constantly. The definition of the Dream 100 is: who is that one person that if you could have them as a client, it would completely change your life. And to land them as a client, you have to be in their face, in their place, in their space."  Amanda Holmes is the CEO of Chet Holmes International, a privately held company founded by highly publicized thought leader, Chet Holmes. The organization aims to help small to medium-sized businesses grow faster, better, and smarter. They have assisted over 250,000 businesses worldwide.

Ep 172 - Gary Vaynerchuk on Veefriends Web 3 and Current NFT Market status
"I spent a lot of last summer saying 99% are gonna go to zero. I thought there was too much gold rush. I'm very empathetic to the anxiety, and I know people get caught up. On an individual level I feel good because I feel confident in what I'm building, and as a collector I only spent money I could afford to lose. As far as Veefriends, we're ahead of schedule!" In today's episode, Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee) shares his views on the current market, and how he feels about how Veefriends and Veecon have played out in the past 18 months. Serial entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk is the Chairman of VaynerX, CEO of VaynerMedia, CEO of VeeFriends, and a 5x New York Times best-selling author.

Ep 171 - Richie Norton On Anti-Time Management And Living A Fulfilling Life
"Stupid is the new smart. We get these great ideas but we tell ourselves it's stupid. Not that it's necessarily a bad idea, but we feel like we can't do it, because we need more money, more time, more education, more experience, someone else could do it. But the idea is still pushing on your brain, so maybe I should do something about it. I learned that if you wait to do something for 40 years, you're gonna mess over 3 generations: now, kids and grandkids! 3 generations miss out on being impacted by the things you could've done. When you work beyond the hustle, beyond goals, beyond habits, it changes the entire decision tree. So now you go "I want this thing!"" Richie Norton is an award-winning, bestselling author and entrepreneur. His books include Anti-Time Management, The Power of Starting Something Stupid and Résumés Are Dead & What to Do About It. Richie was named one of the world’s top 100 business coaches and leading thinkers by Dr. Marshall Goldsmith. He is an international speaker (including TEDx and Google Startup Grind).

Ep 163 - Remy Bigot On NFTs, DeFi, Garyvee and Web 3
"Crypto has failed to be mainstream at the moment. There's a lot of complications for people to understand it, to use it, the fees. A lot of governments have tried for so long to say they're bad, because they want to protect the classical financial system. I think we need two systems, some people need banks, especially for traditional transactions. But we also need more decentralization." Remy Bigot has been an Entrepreneur since 2003, and he's been online building things since before even Wordpress existed. Today he's the General Manager of Fructify, a French platform that makes it easy for people to invest in Crypto.  During this episode we discussed: The concepts of DeFi and DAOs The world of NFTs Getting to meet Gary Vaynerchuk The importance of decentralization Liquidity in Crypto Blockchain And so much more!  If you enjoyed the episode, leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts, subscribe and share this episode with someone who needs to hear this!  Connect with Remy and myself on Twitter: @remybigot @carolinamillan Tag me on your instagram stories if you're enjoying the show: @carolinamillan Looking for a Mentor to help you build your online business?

Ep 161 - Gary Vaynerchuk on Veefriends, Veecon and Twelve And A Half Book
"The things we used to think were soft skills are actually the hard skills. There is no reason for anyone to ever yell at someone during a business meeting. Kindness is the foundation for a successful big company. We've been tricked, nice guys and nice girls don't finish last, we finish first. We are misunderstanding the opportunities that people have in the new digital World, and unless we build this kind of organizations we're not gonna get people to apply."  Gary Vaynerchuk a.k.a. Garyvee is the chairman of VaynerX, a modern-day media and communications holding company, and the active CEO of VaynerMedia, a full-service advertising agency servicing Fortune 100 clients across the company’s 5 locations. I invested in Garyvee's Veefriends NFT project, and one of the tokens I acquired is called FaceTime Fox, which entitles me to a yearly 5 minute call 1 on 1 with Gary, for three years. Today I got to claim my first one, and this interview is the result of it!  During this episode we covered... Gary's biggest takeaway from Twelve And A Half, his new book What to expect from Veecon, his upcoming conference for Veefriends holders Why holding a Veefriends Spectacular is the best long term play by far His plans for access tokens after the claims are done What people tend to misunderstand about Veefriends volume 1 And much more!  If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a 5 star review!
