And there we hoo. Can really
like you're listening to creating daily. Yeah,
2
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:07.759
with the number one live streaming show
that I'm the host of, speaks
3
00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:16.760
to me. It's like he's saying
what I'm thinking streaming. What is going
4
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.800
on? Everyone? Welcome to another
episode of creating daily. I'm your host,
5
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:23.760
Billy Thorpe. In this is a
daily live show where we talked to
6
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:27.359
normally, typically, not the last
couple days, but typically we talking to
7
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.280
other creators about their creator journey to
inspire you in your Creator Journey. So
8
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:35.159
if you know a creator you're watching
this live, go ahead share this with
9
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.920
them, because the guy that I
have on the show today is the real
10
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:43.079
deal, so real that he left
a six figure job to go step out
11
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.840
on his own to be a creator. Super, super talented guy. Can't
12
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.520
wait to bring him on here.
A few minutes you made her of him.
13
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.600
His name is Sean Anthony. He's
a host of a podcast call schools
14
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:57.320
over now what where he is inspiring
tons of people, tons of entrepreneurs,
15
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.640
business owners, all that fun stuff. Now, today's episode is a little
16
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.560
bit different for a couple reasons.
One, I just moved into a new
17
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.879
studio space as you've may have heard
me talk about over the last couple days
18
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.439
and it doesn't have AC. For
whatever reason the AC went out of you
19
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:11.760
know. But I live in Puerto
Rico for like ten months. I'm used
20
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.599
to know AC. I'm used to
being hot, so if you start seeing
21
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.799
me sweat, it's normal for me. So I'm not uncomfortable. So don't
22
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.959
be uncomfortable for me. But then
also I want to spend a lot of
23
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.519
time with Shawn talking about his journey. And you know, how can we
24
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.599
as well leave our comfort zone and
become who we really want to be and
25
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.439
tap into what we really want to
do. So I'm going to cut out
26
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.560
all the other segments except for one, because we got a new sponsor the
27
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.519
show. You may have seen it
in the beginning if you're watching the pre
28
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:45.680
show, but we got our friends
a liquid death have sponsored the show.
29
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.760
They have actually sent me a ton
of water, something like five cases of
30
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:52.159
water. Super Good. I picked
this up at a local whole foods,
31
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:53.879
took a took a couple drinks of
it was like, Dah, this is
32
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.239
great, man. It's awesome.
I reached out or made a post,
33
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.480
somebody connected US and they're like yeah, let's let's do some collaborations. So
34
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.200
go check those guys out. Liquid
death. You can find out your your
35
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.759
nearest whole foods, but they are. This is my favorite one and you
36
00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:13.120
can hear it's empty, the sparkling
water one. So super good, super
37
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.840
interesting branding. But the cool thing
is they also give ten percent of all
38
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:23.280
the profits go back to was see
go to kill police. I was trying
39
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.879
to use their terminology to kill plastic
pollution. So they have an initiative with
40
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.759
their product as well. So go
check those guys out and in Quench your
41
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.879
thirst, Kill Your Kill Your thirst, as they would say. Now I
42
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.319
want to bring them my friend Sean. This going to be a super casual
43
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.840
conversation. We're going to dive in
to how in the world do you leave
44
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:44.960
a sixfigure job? Let me think
about that. Six figures to step out
45
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.639
on your own. Pretty pretty brave, pretty ballsy, but pretty amazing and
46
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.879
inspiring. So, my friend,
Sean, Anthony, what's up, my
47
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.120
man? What's going on at first
off, and I love your show,
48
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.159
I love the set up, I
love how to the new studio is looking
49
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:00.960
at like. I can't now.
There's no AC from where I'm at.
50
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:06.280
So my big old four heads better
star sweating. Five, it's going to
51
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.240
start sweating. Excited to be here, man, excited to add value to
52
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.039
your audience. Yeah, man.
Well, Hey, you've added a ton
53
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.120
of value to me. I know
you and I connected over on Club House,
54
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.879
which at that point was a booming
social audio platform. Now maybe not
55
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.919
so much, but I'm glad it
was good when it was good, because
56
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:30.080
you and I met connected on there
and although we come from vastly different places
57
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.479
in the podcasting world, you know, I'm mostly in the fishing space,
58
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:38.280
you're mostly in celebrity podcasting. You've
interviewed some amazing people on your show,
59
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:39.879
but we you know, one thing
I noticed about you and I, man,
60
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:45.000
is our values aligned from the creator
aspect, but then also from like
61
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.280
monstation, helping people, that kind
of stuff. So, dude, it's
62
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.680
an ant. Say all that to
say it's an honor to have you on
63
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:54.240
the show and I know if if
the people listening and watching or listening to
64
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:59.120
the replay get one percent of the
value that I've gotten, then they're going
65
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:00.800
to be set free to another level, man. So I appreciate you being
66
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.680
here. Man. Thank you for
those kind of where as many me every
67
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.120
day, man, and as soon
as you hate me to do this,
68
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.159
I was like, yeah, of
course is, billy man. Let's let's
69
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.159
do it. Let's go man,
let's go, so, so, Sean,
70
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.159
I'm going to do something I never
ever do. I never really say
71
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.040
hey, take me to the back
story, because I like to pull stuff
72
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.920
out that I really want to talk
about. But I'm curious, man,
73
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:25.720
how did you even get into this
whole podcasting space? Like, how did
74
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.800
that happen for you? Yeah,
man, I stumbled across podcast and podcasting
75
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.600
was never like like like the space
for me. I never had any attentions
76
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.399
or a desire to want to do
it. I didn't even know it existed.
77
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.079
You know, what happened is that
I I happened to take a little
78
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:44.240
bit further back. I was just
excelling in my career field. You know,
79
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.519
when I was fourteen I became a
big nightlife party promoter. My brother
80
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.040
was on stage. He introduced me
to the whole Party game. So I
81
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:56.040
understood like a marketing I understood how
to get people to an audience. I
82
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.040
mean I was partying with like Rick
Ross and young Geez, you know,
83
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.199
and so at fourteen, you know, I think my first party may six
84
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.720
grand, which was crazy as a
fourteen year old. But I took that
85
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:10.519
skill set and I went to an
HBCU and I went to what's the Salem
86
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:14.600
State University, where I was very
successful in the party aspect. But if
87
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.560
everybody billy, everybody graduated, they
all graduated, all left, you know.
88
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.399
So I had to take that skill
set to corporate, which then led
89
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:27.360
me to being promoted six times for
years and I took a job promotion to
90
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.439
had me six hours away from my
family and that's where I stumbled across that
91
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:38.000
weird purple APP that podcasting Appen,
you know, and for me it changed
92
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:42.000
my life. You know, I
was listening to guys like a my lad
93
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.800
Chris Drama Path and Carmichael, all
these guys. I said it is respectfully
94
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.600
because they've all been on my show
now, but I recognized really quickly it
95
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:54.639
didn't look like me and sound like
me and it was a completely different audience
96
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:59.199
that I could reach. And I
watched my success right selfeside, because you
97
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.399
grow up sometimes we see our success, but I saw, you know,
98
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:06.000
my friends not succeeding that they know
what to do after school at the education
99
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:10.480
and so I wanted to create a
show and that was schools over now.
100
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.800
What? Well, man, that's
a so I love that. First of
101
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.040
all, you recognized. Yeah,
I mean, and I think this is
102
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.399
the thing about podcasting, or anything
really, anything, any industry, is
103
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:25.639
like when you're in it and you're
studying it and maybe you're consumer of it,
104
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:27.800
but then you go hey, there's
this missing puzzle piece. Man,
105
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:31.360
I'm not being represented here, my
community's not being represented here. And how
106
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.000
do I you know, and I
think that's pretty innovative of you to you
107
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.000
know, even right after college,
to be leaning into this. So how
108
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.720
long? How long have you been
doing schools over that? What? Yeah,
109
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.120
and end of June. So coming
around like end of June, June
110
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.240
twenty nine will be right at four
years, right, or four years,
111
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.560
wow, man. And how many
episodes is that all right? Now we're
112
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.959
on episode Perach, episode two hundred
and eleven. We haven't missed a single
113
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.560
week since. It's big game on. Man. Love that. Man.
114
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:02.800
Yeah, what is the I think
the average for every podcast is like or
115
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:06.439
not every podcaster, but the average
quitting spots like seven to ten. So
116
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.519
you, yes, barely. Yeah, very early. Right. This is
117
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.959
staying caught high fate. I think
people approach the game so differently now when
118
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:15.959
like, Oh, I want to
start something all, I want to do
119
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.079
something. They just start talking and
then they realize, oh, I hat
120
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.120
nothing to talk about, oh are
eight and paying attention, you know,
121
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:26.160
and they lose their excitement enthusiasm and
they stopped right around that mark, that
122
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.600
seven tonight. You never see him
again. So, man, when you
123
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.360
started your podcast, did you had
like this thirty thousand foot vision, or
124
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:38.160
were you just a guy who said
I'm going to hit recording see what happens?
125
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.199
Oh No, definitely wasn't. Got
To hit. Of course, see
126
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.600
what happens. I had the vision
of you know, if that evolved right,
127
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.279
my vision was I'm going to bring
in people who have no they figured
128
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.240
out what's next in life. They
figured out, okay, what should I
129
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.959
do after school? Right? So
I knew that was the vision, but
130
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.519
I also wanted people to get idea
of me, you know. So in
131
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:01.639
the very first episode I talked about
what got me to that point. Now,
132
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.120
I gave him the backstory of Sean
Anthony so that the August will buy
133
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.800
into me and me being on a
mission to truly give that answer to anybody
134
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:15.519
that will listen. Hmm, I
love that man, and often thinks to
135
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:16.879
when people start a podcast and it
will talk a you know, we'll talk
136
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.319
about podcast and I know you're I
know you're multi hi, your multi hiving
137
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.079
creator, but that's often the thing, dude, is like we get into
138
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.439
it, and I did this early
on in my podcasting journey. I got
139
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.040
into it and I was all about
the guests. I was all about you
140
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:31.759
know, I I can I bring
Balu to the guests. How can I
141
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:33.720
do this? You know, Blah, blah, blah. Maybe they'll share
142
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.759
my episode, maybe they'll do whatever. And I didn't realize that people.
143
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.559
Sure, they might come for the
guests, they might come for the content.
144
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.759
For if they're going to hang out, it's for me, it's for
145
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.120
my personality. And if we don't
share that, and I think that's what
146
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.960
attracted me to you and clubhouse,
was it really, you know, because
147
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.679
we're podcasting. Isn't rocket signs.
I think you and I both know that.
148
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.440
And there's different things that different of
us did, that were on those
149
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.480
panels and we were talking, you
know, a little bit differently, and
150
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.000
I tried this and I did this, but none of it was like I
151
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.720
gotta go get a degree or a
PhD to figure out a podcast. But
152
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:15.320
it was the delivery of how you
ran those clubhouse rooms, how you run
153
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.360
your podcast, how you communicate and
you talk, and I love that.
154
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.840
That's why I really love about you. It is like man, this guy's
155
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.679
got a fantastic delivery. It's exciting, it's its own point, it's you
156
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.399
know, the topic is still there
and I think a lot of times podcasters
157
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.679
loose sight of like you are the
talent, man, and so I think
158
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.440
it's where you have gotten where you
are because you are the talent. Then
159
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.840
I love the fact that you noticed
that, man, and for me,
160
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.879
if you're listening right now, a
lot of times we have a gift but
161
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.720
we don't know how to pay attention
to it when people tell us that that
162
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:48.399
is it. And for me it
was those job reviews. I would do
163
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.720
those job reviews. Remember I was
promoted six times or four years and I
164
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.360
was like, I wasn't then,
like no little bitty job. You know,
165
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.120
I was someone who was a brand
manager for target, I was a
166
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.399
brand manager for macy's, I was
a brand manager for belt and as I'm
167
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.120
going through all these jobs and I'm
like selling. I remember those jot reviews
168
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.720
and it would say, man,
the way you speak like people pay attention,
169
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.200
or hey, your connections, your
collaboration skills are insane, like that,
170
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.840
and it was always exceed expectations.
So then I sat back and I
171
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.159
was like well, Hey, I
noticed when I would present, like I
172
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.360
would do presentations in front of like
the CEO of macy's, they would be
173
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.600
like literally right beside me, and
I I would introduce them to like Microsoft,
174
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.480
so that I have like, like
I would have Microsoft in their stores
175
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.639
and the collaboration, and they were
right about it and it would just go
176
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.720
really big. I'm like, okay, I got through this, I got
177
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:48.399
do this, I got you this. And it was a particular person who
178
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.159
reported to somebody that reported to me, who said something to me about my
179
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.399
voice and how it sounded, and
I was like, HMM, okay,
180
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:00.440
I'm going to try something, you
know, and I wanted to do it.
181
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.919
I think sometimes you know, Insideti, there's a spark and you got
182
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.360
to apply action and when you apply
action to that idea, it may not
183
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.159
be what you think you're going to
do, but it turns out being something
184
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:16.919
bigger, you know. So that's
what that's what's what's happened with me.
185
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.519
And even in the terms of clubhouse, like I observed. I watch everybody
186
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.879
for probably about two weeks, just
listening in rooms, trying to figure out
187
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.080
what my angle would be, and
then I caught it and I say,
188
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.559
you know what we podcast, it
is revealed. They come in this room.
189
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:37.080
I'm gonna give them that work.
And Right. And people dead.
190
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.519
And in the beginning stages we're talking
Lewis House, Pat Flynn million I was
191
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:46.080
worth of game. You name it
on your leisure they were all there.
192
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.279
Yeah, man, I mean,
and I remember being in those rooms and
193
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.440
I remember, you know, just
and that was the thing, man,
194
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.320
one thing that you just said that
I love, and I think this is
195
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:01.240
especially as you get, you know, older. I've got older anyway.
196
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.480
You know, I think so many
times like humility is like this false thing
197
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.080
that does. I mean, it's
like, you know, it's to put
198
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.600
on. It's like I'm trying to
be the most umble guy ever and sometimes
199
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.080
when people give you a compliment,
you know, you step back and go
200
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.360
well, okay, yeah, but
then you like try to flip it.
201
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.519
But I've done the same thing in
my creator journey when, and that's why
202
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:20.480
I start a live streaming it's why
I started podcasting as well, because people
203
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.039
go and you know what, you're
pretty good. You know, you're pretty
204
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.320
good on camera. You look like
you're having a lot of fun or whatever.
205
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.480
It looks easy for you. I
can never do that. And so
206
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.559
I listen to that and I was
like, well, maybe they're onto something.
207
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.799
So I love what you said,
man. That's a big takeaway for
208
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:41.080
somebody listener watching is listen to the
people around you or, if you're bold
209
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:43.759
enough, just go ask him like
Hey, what do you think I'm good
210
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:45.879
at? Man, like if I
just you know, I think that's a
211
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:50.440
good thing, man, that you
recognize that in these corporate meetings, in
212
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:52.320
these you know, where you're different, people going hey, man, this
213
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.600
is a little different, this is
awesome, and then you leaned into that.
214
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.200
You know, you know, it's
funny building. I think about it,
215
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.279
man, as a smile, as
thinking about it. I will always
216
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.799
throw like a little punch line in
there. Like I would throw like a
217
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.919
little punch line in there. I
would, you know, everyone's in your
218
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.759
those corporate settings. I don't care
about as sales and all they care a
219
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.440
by the sales and it meanya and
goal and depend on where we were adding
220
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.519
what we're talking about, what season
that was in. I could have a
221
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:22.360
football analogy or whatever it was,
and I would just see them stuck and
222
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.440
I said it was like, as
I said, I okay, got it,
223
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:28.080
okay, got it, and then
they put me like on a fast
224
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.320
track and I was just gone,
go on, gone, Gong, gone.
225
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.120
But it was those moments. Yeah, man, will do, and
226
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.279
I think those are the moments where
it's like you stand out from the crowd.
227
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.639
You know, I think so many
times as creators and it's like,
228
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.399
Oh, I'm going to and it's
good to study. I mean I study
229
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.159
the Pat Flynns of the world.
I study, you know, the loose
230
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.720
house. I study these guys because
they are run in ahead of me there.
231
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.360
You know, they figured out,
you know, they figured it out,
232
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.000
whatever it is in and oftentimes,
if we're not careful, we'll try
233
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:00.360
to be the Gary Vander Chuck or
whoever, you know, whoever it is,
234
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.120
and we're we lose our own identity, man. So how of you,
235
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.159
as a creator, you know,
kind of found and held onto your
236
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.480
own identities or, like some strategies
that you do to keep that in check.
237
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.039
Yeah, I think. I think
you always need to have like a
238
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.240
North Star, like you always need
to have, you know, I would
239
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.240
say, least two to three examples
of what you want to become, right,
240
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.720
and I think that what you have
to do at that point is,
241
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.320
how can you put your sauce to
it, how can you put your own
242
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.679
swag to it? And so it
feels like it's jailing you. You know,
243
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.960
and for me that's always been the
case. You know, whether it
244
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.039
was coming up wanted to become a
better interview or whether it was becoming,
245
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.679
you know, someone that's going to
teach the podcast gay, if it was
246
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.399
becoming now what I'm doing now,
and talent management, representing so many different
247
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.720
people, you know, and that
aspect, you know, and it remember
248
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.120
your uniqueness, right, like what
was that unique draw that you had that
249
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.559
others just can't have like you.
You can go work at plenty of places,
250
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.440
but that doesn't mean that you have. But it takes it do exactly
251
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.679
what you want to do. All
right, I don't care. Someone saw
252
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.440
how I worked. that the open
win for show and I worked that working
253
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:09.960
did this with that person. Okay, that's all past tense. You know
254
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:15.200
what I'm know, more right here. So what are you doing to it?
255
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.240
To Propel yourself and Excel? Yeah, you got on a job training
256
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.440
and on the job experience. That's
cool, but what are you like and
257
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.799
how a people are attracted to you, because anybody can go linked in and
258
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:28.759
get a job, but what you're
doing your own. That's good, man.
259
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.120
I love that. I think this
all good advice. To figure out
260
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.200
your unique positioning and lean into it
and will be afraid to lean into it,
261
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:37.240
and if you fail, you fail. You know. It's same with
262
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.519
the same with all the stuff that
we're doing is contact creators. It's like
263
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:43.840
did I throw them up against the
wall faster and harder than anybody and if
264
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.840
I fail, I fail. You
know whatever that means. But I learned,
265
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.000
you know, a lot of stuff
along the way and I figure out
266
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.000
how not to do something. I
figure out something that no one else has
267
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:56.000
at times. So many we talked
a lot about your corporate career, your
268
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.399
job, like, obviously your brand
managing for these huge corporations that we all
269
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.799
shot at and know and love.
So how in the world did you go
270
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:08.080
from that to, like, I'm
out of here. I'm going to I'm
271
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.200
going to leave the comfy, cushy
job and I'm going to go out on
272
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.919
my own. And I've was a
part of that journey a little bit.
273
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.440
I mean I heard a little bit
to this is on clubhouse and I was
274
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:19.200
like come on, dude, let's
go, let's I was really before the
275
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.279
whole time. And then when you're
like I'm out, I stepped down like
276
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.799
yeah, freedom, and another one, another one gets some freedom, and
277
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.559
I was proud, man. So
so walk us through that journey of kind
278
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.480
of how that happened. Yeah,
man, one you have to, like
279
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:40.320
I utilize a couple things. One, you IVER's listening and you're excelling in
280
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:45.000
in your career, but you also
are excelling in a side business or a
281
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.960
company or whatever, and you're doing
your own things. Acquired revenue. One
282
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.200
are the things that I caught on
really quickly was you have to have two
283
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:59.399
years of tax records in order to
utilize and LLC to like get like the
284
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.360
major things, like the house.
All right, you know, if you
285
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:07.160
wanted a certain car, possibly there's
other ways to get around in the car
286
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.559
ash back. But when I really
I caught one of that I said,
287
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:12.599
okay, I'm going to do this
the legit way, the right way.
288
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:18.720
I'm going to utilize the the on
paper assets of working at a company.
289
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.160
I'm going to legitimize my business so
that if it does take two years and
290
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.960
get the tax records, okay,
that's fine, but how do I speed
291
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:30.599
this up? Right? So I
sped it up by you losing my job
292
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:33.240
to acquire those things, even though
I had got my side house at the
293
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.839
time over six figures. You know, that's a house. It was over
294
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.640
six figures. But there's still was
some things that I wanted to get,
295
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:42.160
for the fan where I wanted to
get the house or I wanted to check
296
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:45.519
that off. I didn't want to
wait and I'm cool. Thing about it
297
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.160
is this is that I've worked,
you know, I, like I said,
298
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.200
excel, you know, six times
and four years. I was just
299
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:55.559
excelling. I didn't want to spend
all that time in the past and not
300
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:59.160
getting nothing for it. Yeah,
right, yeah, and as I can't
301
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.799
I can acquire all of that and
not got knocketing. That's not at the
302
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:06.319
deal. So I got I got
that out of the deal. I made
303
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:11.279
my business legit I started setting up. Okay, what did I learn from
304
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.960
from this company? How did they
operary? How did they move? What
305
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:18.599
reports today pay attention to? You
know, how and how can I,
306
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.799
you know, then take those type
of set ups, daily scheduling, task
307
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:27.920
and routine and apply it to me, you know, and and apply it
308
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:32.440
to you know. It's no difference, right, if I was a brand
309
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:37.119
manager for target and macy's and belts, I can brand manage a human being.
310
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:45.640
So that was it. And also, to it just became overwhelming in
311
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.920
and you talk about trying to be
humble, like, imagine having a meeting
312
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:53.359
like we're with a bunch of people
who are at a company, right,
313
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:56.880
and they don't worry about sales and
all that, and the back of your
314
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:02.599
phone, your phone going off and
it's like Forbes if all going off and
315
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:07.319
it's like a big deal conference.
Your phone going off and it's like university
316
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.160
ready to pay you. I remember
the first check I got from a college
317
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:14.880
university. First I got from a
college university, I got it from a
318
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.759
school I can never get into,
you know. So I got a check
319
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:22.880
from I got a check from Temple
University for four thousand dollars for thirty minutes,
320
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:27.880
right, and this is virtual shit. When this, yeah, okay,
321
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:30.599
this was this was very to it
wasn't even, it wasn't even in
322
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:34.319
person. So so, so awesome, dude, it so all this is
323
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:38.640
happening while I'm still working at is
job, you know. And and so
324
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:44.079
it became hot, the Sean anthy
that was becoming. It became hard for
325
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:48.920
me to be around and environment,
knowing I had so many other things going
326
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:52.880
on. So I was constantly moving. People probably was looking for me at
327
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.279
some point, I don't know.
It was always so funny to me,
328
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:57.240
though, billy not I think about
it. I had people that report it
329
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.720
to me, a lot of people
that report it to me, and they
330
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.279
would look for me, and the
back of my mind I say to myself,
331
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.279
then, I'm your boss. Just
go, do what you gotta do.
332
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.599
Go, man, just go.
You know, something goes wrong,
333
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.359
I got you with this guy.
Do you pay? You know. So
334
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.799
I was always so funny to me, but I'm very grateful for having those
335
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.200
moments because now, when I'm doing
and moving how I moving, I'm like,
336
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.039
yeah, I cannot believe I was
doing that well now, but I
337
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:29.720
had to do it, man,
and I think that's what separates, you
338
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:33.400
know, the doers from the wanters. It's like the the achievers from the
339
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:36.279
one, you know, the people
who who they say they want to do
340
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:37.319
it, but some people would take
action. So I you know, I
341
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:41.119
run into this a lot when I'm
helping people and I'm helping content creators or
342
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.200
entrepreneurs or whatever. They go I
want to do this all, you know,
343
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.720
I want to, want, I
want, but then I'm like,
344
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:51.200
where's the action? Like even the
little action, the little when will kind
345
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:52.880
of set you up. And one
thing that you said, I mean there's
346
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.960
a couple things there I want to
kind of recap on. One is,
347
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.720
you know, you really mentioned using
that that position that you're in. So
348
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.720
if somebody's watching this or listening to
it and you got its dream of like,
349
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:06.480
man, I want to do what
these guys are doing right now and
350
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:10.200
great content at two o'clock in the
afternoon and get paid for it and have
351
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:15.799
brand deals and all this, it
is really about learning that skill set,
352
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.799
because I'm very similar to you,
man. I work for a several different
353
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:22.119
corporations, I work for some nonprofits, and through that I learned everything.
354
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:26.119
I learned how this camera works,
I'll learn how these lights work. I
355
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.400
learned how all how to set up
a student I learned all this stuff and
356
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.599
then, instead of just being the
griper who's like, man, I hate
357
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:34.920
this, I hate this, I
don't want to work, I was like,
358
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:37.119
okay, cool, I can use
this later, maybe I can take
359
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:40.960
this later. And so you know, for you, you know, and
360
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:44.119
everyone listening to man, that's you
know, I think that's key to say,
361
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:47.519
like, if you're in that job
right now that you hate, that
362
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:52.720
you don't want to go back to
tomorrow, look around and Change Your perspective
363
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.440
and start putting stuff in your tool
bag and learn, because there's spending millions
364
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.240
of dollars to figure out how that
organization system works. There's been a millions
365
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.519
of dollars to figure out how to
hire, you know, a hundred employees
366
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.799
a month, like, and you
want to scale to that, then let
367
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:10.480
that be your education. And then, Dude, I love what you said.
368
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:12.599
Like I went, I went,
got a four thousand dollar check for
369
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:18.640
thirty minute presentation from a college I
wasn't qualified to go to get in Al
370
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.680
did. It gave me freaking chills
when you said that because I'm like,
371
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.880
I love that, man, because
I was not a good student I own
372
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:33.640
paper and probably like way below average
and should be not doing anything, you
373
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:36.480
know, but bagging grushers, which, by the way, respect people who
374
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:37.079
do that. I've done it.
You know, done that before. It
375
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.920
doesn't I'm not saying that's whatever,
but yeah, Dude, I love that
376
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:44.640
story. I mean that's a book, right. They're like yeah, man,
377
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:47.480
shout out, to shut up.
Temple University. They sent me a
378
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:51.599
Mug and a t shirt. I
think to you went there, you did
379
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:53.960
that and get the t shirt.
That's what I'm talking about. I love
380
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:56.519
it. mant so as a creator. Okay, so you kind of you
381
00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.440
kind of give us a little hints
of how you're getting paid as a creator.
382
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.559
So you are, you're doing the
podcast. I imagine that that is
383
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.200
probably income generating either through you know. Well, I'll let you tell me.
384
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:10.480
I won't imagine. Yes, I'll
let you tell me. How does
385
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:14.319
that one particular is of the puzzle
generate income? Well, so funny that,
386
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.640
you know, even with the podcast
in general, people are say,
387
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:19.000
Oh, I want to brand deal
or want to brand deal. I've had
388
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:26.440
multiple brand deals offers I've had.
I've had potential podcast companies wanting to just
389
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:30.200
hurchase the podcast and on a Ip
tip. But the quickest way I got
390
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.200
to the money is I became my
own ad. You know. Yeah,
391
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:37.599
I think about it like I was
one of the very first people just start
392
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:41.640
this podcasting that looks like I look. But I also wanted to not be
393
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:48.039
the only one. So I wanted
to teach people how to actually do podcast
394
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:52.519
and so that led to me creating
e books. That to me creating courses,
395
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.480
led to me creating private communities,
led to me creating, you know,
396
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.920
the ability to coach you on aspect
of one time only or three,
397
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.480
you know, three moonth package,
a sixmonth package. And when I would
398
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:07.519
do is I would run different ads
and my show. So the first hour
399
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:12.200
running to my shows, actually inquiring
and getting people to be a lague and
400
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:15.759
it's like hey, Yo, if
you want to start a podcast, this
401
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:18.079
is where podcast is done for me. You know, grab my you know,
402
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:22.640
my free Ebook, the podcast start
kid, and I just found so
403
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.839
many people who want to start a
podcast and then they're already liking, listening
404
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.640
and trusting you and they're seeing what
you're doing and they're saying how I'm moving,
405
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:32.799
you know, and then I would
be able to say, okay,
406
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:34.240
you've gotten the e book. Let's
look at, you know, one of
407
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:38.200
these options, whether it is,
you know, pay for script to pay
408
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:42.480
for Ebook, pay for course.
You know, it's providing, you know,
409
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:47.200
your audience were all the things that
they already want from you. You
410
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.200
just I don't know you exist yet
or have it to offer. So start
411
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:52.000
talking about it. A lot of
times people say I want to brand deal,
412
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:56.039
I want a sponsorship, and they'll
know they get a brand deal with
413
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.799
a company that makes no sense.
Like you're a you're up here talking about
414
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:04.359
man scaping and you're a woman.
Is like it's like funny, you know,
415
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:07.559
but it's like all right, he's
telling the Manscaping, you know,
416
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:11.920
but in the day, like what's
your all wine on that? You know,
417
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.599
it's a small, small chunk change, you know. So it's not
418
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.680
like a big deal you need.
If anything, you might have, you
419
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.279
know, offending your audience. So
you might even turn your audience off and
420
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:25.839
they're like me, I don't want
to hit them more ads about x,
421
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:30.359
Y Z, you know. So
then there's also the aspect of affiliate Archey,
422
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:34.799
where you can have someone on your
show who you gave a spectaculate interview
423
00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:38.039
and you know what, we got
a affiliate marketing with someone who has a
424
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:42.559
course, someone has a product to
sale. You know, was very popular
425
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:45.799
as a podcast to you going to
give them the best intew they can get
426
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:48.920
because the end of the day,
at the very end, you don't have
427
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.880
everyone click that link in the show, those parts their course and you're gonna
428
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.799
get paid. You know. So
soll me different, so many different ways,
429
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.200
man, but that was a one
of the very first ways been making
430
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:06.400
a podcast security bag, and that's
a lot different than other think I'm doing.
431
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:07.799
Yeah, man, I love that
and I think it is one of
432
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.359
those things where I think it's a
creator. It's, you know, because
433
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:14.640
you look at the title this episode, like left a, you know,
434
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:18.440
six Fi. Good job to podcast, but it's just like anything else.
435
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:21.680
As a business owner, you walk
into a store, they don't carry for
436
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:26.359
products like they carry a town of
different products and services and offers and all
437
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.079
this kind of stuff, and so
I think it's important as content creators we
438
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.599
realize that we, you know,
it's not Billy Thorpe is not a one
439
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:36.839
trick pony sitting in front of his
camera all day and getting, you know,
440
00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:40.960
paid a salary, like I'm doing
multiple shows, I'm working with brands,
441
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:42.319
doing brand deals, to an Amazon, you know, alive, all
442
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:45.720
that kind of stuff. And so
yeah, man, I agree with you
443
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:49.160
on the you know, the first
thing is sponsors should no. I've had
444
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:52.359
a really good, you know,
luck or really good strategy. I like
445
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.319
to think of it a strategy because
I actually thought threw before reaching out to
446
00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:00.720
sponsors. But most podcasters I talked
to they just don't have the same kniche
447
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:07.079
audience that I do in the opportunity
to reach out to those super tight fit
448
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:11.359
partners more than more than sponsors.
So I love that you brought it around
449
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:12.839
to say, Hey, figure out
what you're good at in the because you're
450
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:17.000
in the process of creating a podcast. Now it's like, Oh, you
451
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:18.839
want to learn how to do that. Well, I have the skill set
452
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:21.440
because I just learned how to do
it. I've done two hundred plus episodes.
453
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:23.960
Like to show you what I did
to grow this thing absolutely. It's
454
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:29.559
I love that part, man,
that you once again super self awareness to
455
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:32.400
figure out what are the goods,
how can I offer them and how can
456
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:36.039
I package them up and sell them? So, man, thanks for saying
457
00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:38.599
that about about all that and it's
the holy ecosystem, right. Are You
458
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:44.160
doing affiliate stuff and you're doing coaching, consulting, I mean you're you putting
459
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:48.519
all those into your basket and sell
them? Yeah, absolutely, and all
460
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:52.119
those have different clientele. They're all
different client out and you know, and
461
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:55.880
the cool thing about podcasting, podcasting
has led me to now. You think
462
00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:57.160
about all the different people that have
been on my show, you know,
463
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:04.599
all the different celebrities, entrepreneurs,
coaches, influencers, athletes. Now is
464
00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:08.000
leds to me represent them, you
know, to the point where now I'm
465
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:11.720
out here with the talent, I'm
creating shows for them, I'm looking for
466
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:18.200
different ways so they can collaborate with
other people. I'm producing high levels stuff,
467
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:22.359
you know, and that's what you
know, that's where the real the
468
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:27.359
real bad, it's chatter is man. Yeah, yeah, they're real bag,
469
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:33.279
you know. But well, I
like about as I'm continue continually evolving,
470
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.519
is that there's always something I have
for you, depending no matter what
471
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:41.759
level you're at this because there's so
many different people. You know, everyone
472
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:44.559
can yeah, feed that type of
level. Yeah, I'll pay that type
473
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:47.759
of bag. But they could purchase
the EBOOK. Yeah, you can get
474
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:49.400
start it. They get, they
can make it work some things out to,
475
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:52.519
you know, buy that course now, they can work some things out
476
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.079
to, you know, one day
save enough to have a no one on
477
00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:59.720
one conversation with you, you know. And there's other people who can skip
478
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:03.559
the line and pay that out of
the price. So I haven't options.
479
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.559
Is What's really been able to diversify
my portfolio in terms of being able to
480
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:11.319
work with me. That's awesome.
And so when you were when you were
481
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:15.119
kind of making this decision to leave
corporate now, I know you talked about
482
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.720
leveraging that money. Well, everaging
the money, leveraging the on paper taxes,
483
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:22.000
all that kind of stuff, to
purchase these assets, such as a
484
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:25.799
home or a car or whatever,
which I think is you know, my
485
00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:29.839
wife and I did the same thing. Actually went from being an entrepreneur full
486
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:33.480
time to going back and working somewhere
to make it home purchase. So I
487
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:36.960
kind of do it the not wrong
way, but a different way. I
488
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:38.319
was like, Oh, wait to
say it, I gotta we're going to
489
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:41.480
have all this stuff. It's is
complicated. Let me just go get a
490
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:45.039
job for a year. I'll come
back talk to you later. So I
491
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:48.920
love that. But now on the
and then on the financial side of it,
492
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.480
you built it. was there a
certain number where you like hey,
493
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:56.079
man, I want to double my
salary, or like, how did you
494
00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:57.839
make that goal? To say,
all right, I'm going to put in
495
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:00.880
my my month notice, or to
you know, for your position, I
496
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:03.920
mentioned, had to do more we
could. I was already I was already
497
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:07.880
killing him and I was already even
while I was working at that job,
498
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:11.319
I was already having five figured months. I just I was just was waiting
499
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:17.640
for the house to get built.
Yeah, I was just at that point.
500
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:21.319
You know, at that point you
just trying to maintain stay calm.
501
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:26.400
You just try to like anything cool, they smooth. I'm going anywhere.
502
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:29.880
What are you? I would like
listen. Man, was so crazy.
503
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:33.880
I look back, did I was, I was traveling, I was about
504
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.440
to take my vacation time and I
would I would take vacation time, and
505
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:40.200
it was come people that was that
was hip. And I'll say vacation time
506
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:41.839
and they'll get on the Internet.
And I was at like like Gouna beach
507
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.680
and I was at like am I
last house. Then I was at like
508
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:49.519
Miami. Lately, if people,
people are smart, but I think sometimes
509
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:53.799
when you have a side hustle,
you have something you're really working on and
510
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:57.720
you're in a job, there's always
doubters. That's always people like what,
511
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:00.920
Hey, what are they doing?
Just talking, but they don't see the
512
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:03.920
vision. And there's a few people
who are very intelligent. Who knows?
513
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:07.240
Oh, it's only a matter of
time, you know. For me,
514
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.240
that's what I was doing, you
know, and I was, I know,
515
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:15.480
a lot of research to make that
decision, and one of the best
516
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.920
things I ever discovered, which I'm
so glad you said it. But you
517
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:21.200
realized it, but you realize that
a look too late, you know,
518
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:23.160
I gotta go back. You know, I realized it and I was like,
519
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:27.720
I have to acquire this, I
gotta acquire this, and then as
520
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:32.519
game and I just I't I'm out
of here, you know. So I
521
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:36.960
was telling anyone that's listening, when
you start to see that you are making
522
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:41.839
more money, right, you aren't
putting in nowhere near the time, because
523
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.640
think a bottom. I'll talk about
these five figure months. I'm gonna be
524
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:51.640
very clear. I was working on
average fifty to fifty five hours a week.
525
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:55.880
I had one day a week.
That one day week was Thursday.
526
00:31:55.880 --> 00:32:00.440
While I was off. And the
funny thing about that is that people are
527
00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:01.680
saying, well, how did you
know your show was going to release on
528
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:05.640
Fridays? You know how I knew
because I only had one day to work
529
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:09.839
on Thursday, you know. So
I did all my interviews Thursday, I
530
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:15.759
did all of my all my editing
on Thursday. You know. Everything came
531
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:17.880
down to Thursday, you know,
and that's the reason why the show came
532
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:21.640
out on Friday. So after you
know, spending, you know, the
533
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:24.400
time to effort, the gears,
to sweat equity, and I'm like Yo,
534
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:29.359
if I'm doing all this with one
day a week, I imagine when
535
00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:31.359
I finally be able to get all
of it. And we're at that point
536
00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:35.839
now. Man, I love that. Man, I love that story,
537
00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:39.240
that one. It shows consistency matters. You know, I think a lot
538
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:43.640
of people that's like a word we
throw around in this industry of like at
539
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:46.640
a consistently. You know, nobody
really thinks about it, but do consistently
540
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:52.079
person who shows up every day or
every week or whatever a lot of time
541
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:54.519
is on their schedule to show up
and crush it like they win. They
542
00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:58.599
win the bag. Every single time. I've seen it in every industry.
543
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:01.200
I've seen it with every kind ont
a creator. I know the person who
544
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:05.960
shows up even when they don't want
to, even when the AC is broken
545
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:08.640
and I'm just sweating all over the
place. I knew that this was a
546
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:12.920
big opportunity for me to talk to
you in a big opportunity for my audience
547
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:15.160
storm from him like, Dude,
I got to show up, like I
548
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:16.839
don't care how hard it is,
I don't care if they AC guys banging
549
00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:22.240
in the next room. I got
to show up because people are leaning on
550
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:25.559
this or counting on this kind of
stuff. So, man, how important
551
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:28.839
was that for you? I mean, I know you had one day.
552
00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:31.480
You said You haven't missed an episode. Give a lot of credit to that
553
00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:37.400
consistency for your for your victory so
far. Yeah, absolutely, AIN'T gonna
554
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:42.240
get nowhere without consistency. I think
that's that's one thing also to like whenever
555
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:44.480
I even had the thought like now, I don't know if I could do
556
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:46.160
this or man, I'm feel like
I'm man, is it the time going
557
00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:51.400
to slow down or what? A
couple thanks as helped is that I would
558
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:54.640
go back and I would remember a
time where I released an episode of someone
559
00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:58.799
told me. You know, that
episode save my life. I'll go back
560
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:00.799
and I'll go back and I'll look
at a review and I be like,
561
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:05.000
Damn, I needed to keep going. You know, a lot of houses
562
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:07.559
podcasters, you know, they're podcasting
in caves, are not there, they're
563
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:10.960
not out in public and not seeing
people. Say that rare, very rarely
564
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:15.239
see their influence and less they are
like a conference was this two conscience over
565
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:20.320
the weekend and they very rarely see
that influence. You know, in a
566
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:22.960
lot of times you will those.
You go around the right places, people
567
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:24.440
say, Oh, I listen to
your show. You like angle, listen
568
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:28.559
my show. Yeah, listen to
your show. You know. Yeah,
569
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:30.679
it was that for you know,
we go to we'll go to church and
570
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:34.360
I think nobody listening to something.
I'd be like, Oh, by the
571
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:37.280
way, tell them you I listened
to a show. Well, just chilling
572
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:45.159
in the house. Answer is tapping
into the feedback, on the feedback that
573
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:47.960
I was given, and that's what's
has got me to be consistent and put
574
00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:51.559
more stuff out. Yeah, I
love that, dude, and I think
575
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:53.719
every podcaster, and here's the thing, especially, and I'm going to talk
576
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:58.000
about podcast, I know there's live
streamers and artists and all that kind of
577
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:01.239
stuff, and musicians are listening,
but I'm this is really across the board,
578
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:05.599
like that fills our cup as creators, like when somebody, probably more
579
00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:07.079
than anything really, probably even more
than I getting a check. It's like
580
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:10.119
somebody said Hey, man, that
changed my life. Like in a similar
581
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:14.719
thing happened to me at a tackle
shop when I got home from Puerto Rico.
582
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:17.039
I walked in, I was buying
a something for my for my fly
583
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:20.760
Rod, and this guy from across
the room, which amen at to you,
584
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:22.679
what's you and I'm like looking around, who's this guy talking to?
585
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:27.920
And he's a no from the podcast. I'm like Oh, Hey, you
586
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:30.920
know, and it was. It
threw me off. But when this guy
587
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:35.159
brought his phone out and starts showing
me these fishy caught because of the people
588
00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:37.840
that we bring on our show and
is helping a guy fish like it in
589
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:42.039
the big scheme in the world it
doesn't seem like that big of a deal,
590
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:45.519
but for him and his family it's
like huge because now they're enjoying all
591
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:50.559
this family time on the water and
it is those moments where I'm like wow,
592
00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:52.679
man, like I didn't realize,
you know, all this work and
593
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:58.159
energy is setting you up to have
a better relationship with your family. So,
594
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:00.719
man, I'm with you, dude, Itt out wherever your community is,
595
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:05.800
wherever they might be hanging, and
when you get that kind of feedback.
596
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:08.079
But also as creators, man,
let's give that feedback. Let's create
597
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:13.440
that culture of leaving reviews and saying, Hey, this show changed my life
598
00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:16.000
and you know and whatnot, and
like make it more public. That way
599
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:19.840
other people can, you know,
be inspired by as well. So I
600
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:22.760
love that you share that, man, because I know a lot of podcasters
601
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:25.480
don't get it, and even myself, being new, toy it to you
602
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:30.280
was all the Tuy. It's crazy
cool. It's like wow, let's chilling.
603
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:32.039
Yeah, it was pretty cool.
I mean. Yeah, I mean,
604
00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:37.000
it's not like people line up for
my autograph, but one first it
605
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:38.519
was like, okay, that's fun. Keep doing it, man, you
606
00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:43.559
have you have enough juice to go
for another year. Let's go. Yeah,
607
00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:45.679
they now, they don't know what
you've been through. Down know how
608
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:46.840
hard has been, down, how
long you've been doing it. They Don
609
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:51.960
Know How many times you probably second
guess yourself and whether you're making an ampack
610
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:54.239
and for them to do that mean's
lot. How many times you hit the
611
00:36:54.239 --> 00:37:00.119
record button on one episode just to
jab absolutely, absolutely, or how many
612
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:04.119
times you didn't hit it, he
just started talking. So so, Sean,
613
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:06.559
you do it all kinds of stuff, man. You're coaching people and
614
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:10.239
podcasting, you're you're helping people promote
their brands and you're helping a lot of
615
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:16.079
entrepreneurs promote through podcasting and through different
creative fields. Out of all the stuff
616
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:19.440
that you do, man, what's
the like, the thing that you love
617
00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:22.719
the most, because I know all
of us do stuff we love and stuff
618
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:24.119
we don't, but what's the one
thing that you like? I can't wait
619
00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:30.519
to do this this week. Yeah, man, I'll tell you. I
620
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:37.280
like moving. I like movement,
I like actually going places. You know,
621
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:42.400
that's stuff I enjoy. I also
like the introductions and connecting people with
622
00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:45.000
life changing, like life changing stuff
for them in their business. Of the
623
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:51.000
our wise really big. That that's
what excites me, you know, and
624
00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:55.400
being the the mover and shake it, the person that like behind the scenes
625
00:37:55.440 --> 00:38:00.280
that really is orchestrating this is important
to me and I like that a lot.
626
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:04.840
I like that more than probably anything, because it's almost like a magician
627
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:07.320
because you know what's about to happen, all right. Yeah, and so
628
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:13.440
to me, that's that's why I
enjoy now and it excites me. It
629
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:16.559
comes with a lot of the benefits
to beyond just money, but it comes
630
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:22.360
with seeing the world, seeing the
world and in different van, different view
631
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:25.079
of different Lens, you know,
different than you know putting on your outfit
632
00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:29.559
and going the clock in at that
job, but you hate and making sure
633
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:34.159
things a price correctly, and nobody
cares about that stuff in life. Yeah,
634
00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:37.559
you know it not that I'm actually
out of that world. Like nobody
635
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:42.039
cares about that stuff in life.
They would. They want, they know
636
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:45.000
what they want. They want it. Have you can give it to him.
637
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:46.280
If you give it to him in
a very polite way with great,
638
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:51.239
excellent customer service, then you're probably
getting back as a guess. But they
639
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:53.760
aren't at home. A customer isn't
at home thinking about that. Did the
640
00:38:53.800 --> 00:39:00.800
mannequins get changed today? They're not
at home wondering. did new shorts come
641
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:04.320
off the truck? Yeah, they're
not that. They're not at there.
642
00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:07.199
They're not at home wondering. You
know, it has the has a front
643
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:10.480
end of the building. been taken
care of an the law properly. That
644
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:15.840
stuff doesn't matter in life. You
know it is for me now. What
645
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:22.360
matters in life is impact. Matters
in life is, you know, really
646
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:28.159
giving people insight. A matters in
life, is really showing people what's possible.
647
00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:30.400
You know, hopefully I'm doing that
every day. Yeah, man,
648
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:34.760
well, I definitely think you are
and I love what you're doing, man.
649
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:37.119
That's why won't you, you know, on the show today and,
650
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:39.920
like I said, I'm grateful that
clubhouse was booming. I'm grateful that you
651
00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:44.280
and I were on that platform together. I know we live in the same
652
00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:45.800
state, actually, probably just a
couple hours away from each other. So
653
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:50.400
we need to do it IRLS,
all the cool kids are calling it.
654
00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:52.480
Yeah, so old man, and
were that mean? In real life?
655
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:55.239
Yeah, in real life, okay, good, ha ha. Yeah,
656
00:39:55.320 --> 00:40:00.400
we in real life meeting in and
hang out. But man, so last
657
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:05.400
question here is how can people get
in touch with you? How can they
658
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:08.719
find you? The fasts? I
know I got your your instagram handle here,
659
00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:10.519
which is, by the way,
if people can't read that, it's
660
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:15.039
Shawn our anthony. Make sure you
put that are in the middle there.
661
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:19.559
So yeah, sean are Anthony Underscore
for that part by a shot, a
662
00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:24.199
sean our anthony. On this score. There is there's so many men.
663
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:30.320
One thing about when you're excelling life, the box come out and people great
664
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:37.679
fake pages. So make sure you
finally ask Anthony Underscore, listen to podcast
665
00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:40.360
schools over now what you're going to
be, you know, just mobbling with
666
00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:45.280
the amount of people we've had on
the show, from Grammy Award winners like
667
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:49.280
a steal, to be honest.
He's Dad. Matthew knows. We've already
668
00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:52.360
talked about D and grant all those
guys. But there's so many powerful,
669
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:58.760
impactful people telling their stories, giving
you the absolute recipe on what they did
670
00:40:58.760 --> 00:41:01.760
to figure out life, and I
hope you guys enjoy it. Yeah,
671
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:05.400
man, awesome new will, Sean. I appreciate you. Man. I'M
672
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:07.840
gonna have to have you back on
everybody. You know, the question everyone
673
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:09.639
always asks me is like should I
have slipperties on my show? And then
674
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:13.159
how do I get them on my
show? And I'm like, I have
675
00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:15.760
I don't have the answer to either
one of those because I've never I've had
676
00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:17.639
one celebrity on my show and,
like you know, all these years of
677
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:22.599
podcasting, so we'll have to bring
you back on and maybe we can dive
678
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:28.320
more into some strategies of different aspects
of creatorship and podcasting and that kind of
679
00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:30.239
stuff. So be cool. Absolutely, Man, was a pleasure of being
680
00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:35.000
here and guys that always let me
remember like just dream it, believe it,
681
00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:37.239
go out and get it, dream
and believe it. Go on,
682
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:38.239
get a man. I love it, Sean. We'll talk to you soon,
683
00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:40.960
man. Thank you so much for
jumping on the show and, like
684
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:44.840
I said, we'll talk to you
soon and you guys go be sure to
685
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:47.320
follow Shan. And he is literally, and I know I've been seeing this
686
00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:52.119
praises throughout this episode, but literally
one of the most real guys I've met.
687
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:55.159
You know, you can really tell
a lot about a person by their
688
00:41:55.199 --> 00:41:59.760
presentation, by their voice. This
is literally the first time we've seen each
689
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:04.039
other face to face, virtually,
and he is the real deal. He's
690
00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:06.559
the real McCoy. He's going out
there, he's doing the work, he's
691
00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:08.800
taking the action and you want to
follow people like that. Similar to what
692
00:42:08.800 --> 00:42:12.920
we're saying earlier, there might be
people in your circle who are saying,
693
00:42:13.159 --> 00:42:15.320
I don't know if you can really
do it. I don't know. Maybe
694
00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:16.719
that guy can do it, but
maybe you can't, and you want US
695
00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:20.280
surround yourself with people like Sean who
are saying, Hey, you can do
696
00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:22.440
it, let me show you how. Let me show you the way it
697
00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:25.599
worked for me, and you take
it, pieces of that journey and see
698
00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:30.119
if they'll work for you as well. So be sure to go follow Shan.
699
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:32.159
I'm going to post all his information
here in the show notes and that
700
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:37.119
way you can go follow him and
join me tomorrow. I'm not really sure
701
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:38.519
what I'm doing. Once again I've
been in transition mode. I'm in the
702
00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:44.800
studio space at just some Amazon live
stuff yesterday, but I'll be back tomorrow
703
00:42:44.840 --> 00:42:47.519
at two PM Eastern time. It's
a surprise. Right now. Maybe I
704
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:51.760
get a surprised guest on, who
knows, or I might just hang out
705
00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:53.800
and do some more studio work and
show you guys what I'm working on,
706
00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:59.039
because I got all different stuff.
Man, I switch out cameras and all
707
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:00.960
kinds of stuff. So I'm being
a little nerd over here trying to figure
708
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:05.440
it all out. But until then, go create something great, go hit
709
00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:08.119
that record button, hit that go
live button and don't listen to the lies
710
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:13.320
of your own mind or that of
the mouth of other people, and go
711
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:15.000
change the world with your message,
because that's why we do all of this,
712
00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:17.920
is because your message matters, and
if you feel like you gotta share
713
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:21.440
it, then go share it.
We'll see you tomorrow. To be M
714
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:45.320
Eastern, I
