Best selling author, hedge fund investor, globe trotter (and a bit of my personal hero), Jim Rogers. [http://www.jimrogers.com/] I believe it was Thoreau that said, “I could no more name all the books I have read and yet, all the same, they made me.” Truer words for me have never been spoken. But occasionally there comes across my hands a book that I can name and its impact reverberates through my life for years to come. One such book was by the legendary investor Jim Rogers [http://www.jimrogers.com/] called, “The Adventure Capitalist.” [https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/adventure-capitalist-jim-rogers/1111502296?ean=9780375509124] I touched its pages more than a decade ago and it shaped my life in many ways. Jim is a bit akin to the Indiana Jones of finance, he's an explorer, a pioneer and he is not afraid to go against the norm. Basically, he’s anything but your typical investor. > “If the world economy gets better, commodities are a very good place to be in... even if the world economy does not improve, commodities are still a fabulous place to be.” — Jim Rogers, "The Adventure Capitalist"You see Jim has a story, Jim was at the peak of his investing career in the 1970's. He was the co-founder of the industry leading Quantum Hedge Fund with one of the other most famous investors of our time, George Soros. They just had a record year of 127% return on their portfolio and 4200% return over 10 years. Not bad, eh? Then Jim did something that so few do. He left the lucrative high life of Wall Street behind, by choice. He set out to travel the world investing for himself personally in emerging market real estate, third world stock markets, and currencies, all from not a cushy seat in New York, but atop a yellow convertible. Jim decided to continue his emerging market investing spree and circumvented the globe astride a gleaming yellow convertible Mercedes, bedecked with tires able to traverse an African back road just as well as a Californian coastal freeway. This journey led to one of my favorite books of all time, “The Adventure Capitalist.” [https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/adventure-capitalist-jim-rogers/1111502296?ean=9780375509124]As if that wasn't enough he wanted to get even closer to the Earth so better to invest in it's trends, aka he traveled around the world astride a motorcycle. That was his book, “Investment Biker.” [https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/investment-biker-jim-rogers/1111502295?ean=9780812968712] 51nOxtbYrRL._SX298_BO1%2C204%2C203%2C200_.jpg [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577bcbe8579fb35f94681d64/1505761357274-HHY8P4RX04HOETC94E7L/51nOxtbYrRL._SX298_BO1%252C204%252C203%252C200_.jpg?format=1000w] Order here!

Those who recognize change and react accordingly will benefit.” — Jim Rogers, A Gift to My Children: A Father's Lessons for Life and InvestingSo you can see why I have to admit when I reached out to Jim to have him on this podcast I thought, “Well, this is a bit of a stretch, to say the least.” Then from the skyscrapers of China, where he currently resides, he responded yes. We spent an hour diving into some of the questions I’ve held close to my vest for a decade. Like how to develop contrarian ideas when the entire world disagrees, how did he get the guts to leave it all behind on Wall Street, what advice would he give to his daughters today, where is the opportunity of the future and what is a belief he holds dear that most of the world would completely disagree with him on. quote-if-you-bail-out-every-investment-bank-that-gets-in-trouble-that-s-not-capitalism-that-s-socialism-jim-rogers-262608 (1).jpg [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577bcbe8579fb35f94681d64/1505762093188-UU5PYUDK7NCCDWELT618/quote-if-you-bail-out-every-investment-bank-that-gets-in-trouble-that-s-not-capitalism-that-s-socialism-jim-rogers-262608+%281%29.jpg?format=1000w] I CHALLENGE YOU IF YOUR DESIRE IS TO TRAVEL THE WORLD LUCRATIVELY, INVEST YOURSELF, OR SIMPLY UNDERSTAND THE INSIDE OF ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT MINDS IN FINANCE, LISTEN TO WHAT JIM HAS TO SAY. MAYBE HE'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE, JUST AS HE DID MINE.

My Most Personal Podcast Yet: Neeta Bhushan

That light was Neeta [https://www.neetabhushan.com/]Bhushan. Neeta is a best-selling author of Emotional Grit, [https://emotionalgrit.com/] a PhD in psychology and medicine, an international speaker renowned across Asia and India, has spoken at the likes of Google and Facebook, and is one of the key members of A-Fest [http://www.afest.com/attendees/ibiza-2017] (a grouping of global change makers with her life partner Ajit). She specializes in helping leaders develop emotional intelligence or as she calls it, “Emotional Grit, [https://emotionalgrit.com/]” as well as is in the midst of a new world speaking and event tour called Boundless [https://www.neetabhushan.com/boundless/regular/]. neeta4.jpg [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577bcbe8579fb35f94681d64/1505239171189-7C7JW8YRUZIOJQH0N1JA/neeta4.jpg?format=1000w] neeta2.jpg [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577bcbe8579fb35f94681d64/1505239108520-4BMNKZZYDNOZFODG8QAY/neeta2.jpg?format=1000w] neeta.jpg [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577bcbe8579fb35f94681d64/1505239108418-PS6WXWACPDGTCZ3S0JFY/neeta.jpg?format=1000w] neeta3.jpg [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577bcbe8579fb35f94681d64/1505239171259-LH4Z71MLDOBB073RQM5C/neeta3.jpg?format=1000w]On this podcast, Neeta [http://www.neetabhushan.com] and I get personal with it. You see she, like so many of us, had to go through a real trial to achieve greatness. She talks about her first marriage to an abusive spouse, to living in her car, to leaving it all behind to start afresh, to pushing past cultural norms as a self-identified “brown girl.” We talk about how she creates a powerful relationship and success for each of them, how she travels the world while running a major business and non-profit, and the life lessons she wishes she had learned earlier. Neeta [http://www.neetabhushan.com] was a key trigger and drive in my life at a time that I truly needed it, I hope that you allow her to trigger you too. > “Neeta was a key trigger and drive in my life at a time that I truly needed it, I hope that you allow her to trigger you too.” Neeta Bhushan Speaking.jpg [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577bcbe8579fb35f94681d64/1503080463499-YL78FJ8MYDK9B0LMA62B/Neeta+Bhushan+Speaking.jpg?format=1000w] While it's hard to pick a favorite.. I did. Here is my small, succinct but if you sit on it, absolute favorite quote from Neeta: > “Is what you’re doing really worth it?” Take a moment, put in your headphones, sit back, relax, and get ready for a ride.

How Selling Hot Dogs Led to Funding from Silicon Valley Who's Who

"AND HOW BUTTERFINGERS ARE THE KEY TO HAPPINESS…" [https://www.linkedin.com/in/codiesanchez] [http://instagram.com/codiesanchez] [https://medium.com/contrarian-thinking] [https://twitter.com/codie_sanchez] Real talk. I haven’t laughed this hard or wanted to steal so many one liners on the podcast before. I really shouldn’t be surprised because my guest is SamParr, CEO & Founder of TheHustle.co [http://ambassadors.thehustle.co/?ref=566b50aa2e]. Sam is just about as quirky, funny, and strangely poignant as his site and newsletter. I mean what can you expect from a dude who went from owning a hot dog company in Nashville, with commentary such as, “if you can sell meat on the street to strangers something good is going on,” to running a site with over 200k subscribers and millions of people frequenting his website. It all started for him with HustleCon [http://hustlecon.com/]. A conference he created after he had sold one of his startups in Silicon Valley and was looking to surround himself with the smartest of the smart by hosting an event chock full of them. Maybe stimulating his next idea or two. He figured he’d lose some money, but gain a killer network. Turns out he got both. He made $60k on HustleCon [http://hustlecon.com/], and a few years down the road they make a heck of a lot more than that and have thousands of attendees listening to hundreds of striving weirdos (my favorite types of humans). sp.png [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577bcbe8579fb35f94681d64/1501538038654-GSZ8W5TUXEM4AX1QQSD1/sp.png?format=1000w] sp.jpeg [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577bcbe8579fb35f94681d64/1501538155693-5OB3WJVL5H5I84AYEH80/sp.jpeg?format=1000w] hustle.jpeg [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577bcbe8579fb35f94681d64/1501538291509-GZMGOF50M1Q1QTYQHJWI/hustle.jpeg?format=1000w]We get into how Sam has systematically cultivated a Zero F’s attitude, the one piece of advice he gives to all salespeople, the thing he thinks we will look back on in 20 years and be amazed by, as well as what he tells himself when he is told, "No, you can't."

Nathan Chan: The 20 Something w/ Millions of Followers & One Ridiculous Rolodex

[https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577bcbe8579fb35f94681d64/1495162293729-QVPG2L9OO0H8IEQBF5X6/image-asset.png?format=1000w] CEO OF FOUNDR MAGAZINE [HTTPS://FOUNDRMAG.COM/] ON HOW HE BUILT ONE CRAZY BUSINESS Just a short few years ago Nathan Chan (@foundr [http://instagram.com/foundr]) was a young 20 something fixing computers in the IT department in corporate cubicle land. Then something happened that made him say never again. A moment, and a collection of moments compounded, changed everything. Now Nathan is the CEO and Founder of the aptly named Foundr online magazine, he’s amassed millions of listeners and followers, built a business with revenues above 7 figures and as you can imagine, probably now has a dude to fix his computers. > “A moment, and a collection of moments compounded, changed everything. ” So what’s Foundr [https://foundrmag.com/]and what’s the big deal about that? Well, as we were recording this podcast Nathan had just returned from interviewing Tony Robbins in NY. That’s kind of a like a typical Tuesday for Nathan. He’s a humble sort of bloke, so I’m sure he’s reading this and eye rolling at my pontification, however you guys tell me what you think. His first interview was with Sir Richard Branson and the cover of his magazines has been graced by names like Arianna Huffington, Gary Vaynerchuck, Marie Forleo, Daymond John, Seth Godin, Tim Ferriss just to name a few. So let’s just say he plays with some big fish. [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/577bcbe8579fb35f94681d64/1495136605507-Y8LRM2F6TXWBBFURZY9I/image-asset.png?format=1000w] Cool for Nathan, but how is that useful for you? On this podcast Nathan gave me the green light to ask him some questions he’d never been asked before. We dig into the moments he, just like all of us, was told NO. That he wasn’t enough, that he couldn’t, that it wasn’t impossible but for him it was. We talk about how he overcame those moments. He gives us his recipe for how to get in front of big names and absolutely what NOT to do when reaching out to just about anyone. Some of my favorite moments are at the very end where we get into where he would escape if convicted of a hideous crime, and his biggest mistakes. I hope you have a nice adult beverage, snuggled up somewhere and ready to listen to our conversation ripe with questions not appropriate for the dinner table.
