  • Our #1 Health Secret: The Carnivore Diet

    Our #1 Health Secret: The Carnivore Diet
    Jan 21 2025

    When your gut is messed up, your head is messed up.

    I know this first hand because the reality is I’ve never been the same since I had colorectal cancer. I battled years of gut issues, discomfort, and pain. I’ve tried everything you can think of but nothing has worked as well as the Carnivore Diet. It's been a game-changer and a life-saver.

    For those who don’t know, the Carnivore Diet is meat only.

    Now, I know what you're thinking – all meat, no vegetables? It may sound crazy, but trust me, the benefits are undeniable and I have the blood results to prove it. My cholesterol dropped 20% in 30 days and after 11 months, it has been the single best health hack I have used in 10 years.

    Dan has been on the Carnivore Diet for 6 months and experienced amazing results including losing 20lbs (which greatly relieved the pain from his arthritis). With the carnivore diet and stem cell treatments, Dan’s tendons are being regenerated. You can see all these benefits when you look at him, and he is 80 years old!

    Here are three ways the Carnivore Diet could help you:

    • Goodbye, Gut Issues: Since ditching carbs and embracing meat, my gut problems have vanished. No more embarrassing dashes to the bathroom or feeling bloated and uncomfortable.

    • Mental Clarity and Energy: The brain fog is gone, replaced with sharp focus and sustained energy throughout the day. I no longer need those afternoon naps to power through.

    • Weight Loss and Lean Muscle: The pounds melted away, revealing visible abs I haven't seen in years! Plus, we’ve noticed an increase in lean muscle mass.


    TIME STAMPS

    • [0:00 - 1:00] The Carnivore Diet: If you're struggling with gut issues like me, or just want to feel better and sharper, this diet could be your answer. It's about simplifying what you eat – meat and water, that's it. You'd be surprised how amazing you feel when you cut out all the processed junk.
    • [1:00 - 3:00] Fueling Your Body: My routine is pretty straightforward: a New York strip steak in the morning, another at noon, and maybe one more if I'm hungry later in the day. It keeps me energized all day long, no more afternoon slumps! My cravings are completely gone. I no longer crave snacks or chips or other junk throughout the day.
    • [3:00 - 5:00] Seeing the Results: The changes I've seen are incredible. My cholesterol dropped, my mental focus sharpened, and I'm no longer battling those annoying gut problems. Plus, I lost weight you can see in my face, and I even have visible abs! That inflammation melts away.
    • [5:00 - 7:00] Making It Work for You: Listen, it's not about being perfect. You can have some shrimp or fish if you're out, but try to stick to meat as much as possible. Buy organic, grass-fed beef and trustworthy butchers. Figure out what works best for your body. And don't worry about traveling, it's easier than you think to stay on track.
    • [7:00 - 10:00] More Than Just a Diet: Results are results. I have been on the carnivore diet for 11 months, and Dan has been on it for 6 months. We have both experienced weight loss, improved mental clarity and better blood test results. No cravings. Better cholesterol. We look better and we feel better. The carnivore diet is a no-brainer for us.

  • How To Get UNSTUCK and Scale A Business (That Doesn’t Kill You)

    How To Get UNSTUCK and Scale A Business (That Doesn’t Kill You)
    Jan 16 2025

    You're making good money but working yourself to death, or worse... you’re a "Poorly Paid Thought Leader" with followers but an empty bank account. Sound familiar?


    JJ Virgin and I have worked together for over a decade, and we've both been through the entrepreneurial meat grinder and lived to tell about it.


    When I had stage three color-rectal cancer, and went through 33 radiation treatments, I wrote a book, created a course, and the day after my 34th treatment, I spoke at Tony Robbins' Business Mastery. I was 130 pounds, fresh off opiates, and went to get a spray tan so I didn’t look like an alien on stage.

    At the same time, JJ’s son was hit by a car and in a coma, right in the middle of launching her Virgin Diet empire. She was battling for her business, but most importantly, her son’s life.

    Talk about crisis management!


    Here are three golden nuggets from our chat that could save you years of pain:


    1. STOP CREATING NEW STUFF: JJ nailed it - entrepreneurs love to create, but hate to sell. When something doesn't work, they create something new instead of fixing what they have. The secret? Create ONE thing, test it with your warm audience, and tweak until it works. If you can't sell it to friends, you won't sell it to strangers.


    2. DON'T SCALE TOO SOON: JJ shared how she got burned when The Virgin Diet exploded. She had $500K in shakes ready to ship but no customer service system in place. The result? 300+ angry customer emails on day one while she's sitting next to her son with a coma in the hospital. Scale only after you've got your systems dialed in.


    3. BUILD WHAT YOU LOVE (AND DELEGATE THE REST): You CAN build a business doing what you love and very little of what you hate. Why? Because somewhere out there, someone LOVES doing the stuff you hate. Dan Sullivan calls it “The Who. Not How.” Your job is to focus on your genius zone. (And that’s why I run the Superpower Accelerator.)

    Want to dive deeper into building multiple streams of income the right way? JJ's put together a comprehensive guide that walks you through exactly how to identify and build your next best income stream. Grab it at CapabilityAmplifier.com/MSIGuide

    Key Takeaways

    • [0:00-1:00] All business owners get stuck. Me. JJ. You. We either grind away in practice without knowing how to scale, or achieve fleeting fame without a solid backend to sustain our business.
    • [3:00-5:00] JJ Virgin shares her story and emphasizes her lifelong passions for health and marketing, and how those passions led her to a successful career path. Passion can set the stage for your success
    • [5:00-7:30] There are various stages of growth, and almost every entrepreneur will encounter feeling like a “successfully stuck practitioner," or "the poorly paid thought leader," This is where you realize the importance of selling transformations rather than just products.
    • [11:00-16:30] JJ Introduces her "Health Business Ascension Model," a three-step process encompassing create, optimize, and scale.
    • [21:30-23:30]. Real-life experiences can help you build trust and authenticity, enabling you to navigate challenges effectively. Don’t back away from them. Lean into them and learn.
    • [31:30-32:15] Identify your passions. Clarity and self-awareness are integral to building a business that aligns with your passions and desired lifestyle.
    • [33:30-37:30] JJ Virgin highlights what makes her so efficient: her respect for time, and her meticulous approach to planning and organization. What can you do to FREE up your time? Make more money, and live a little?
    • [39:00-47:15] I am on the carnivore diet. JJ and discuss the benefits and drawbacks, and alternative approaches to protein intake that may be useful to you. Also, don’t underestimate the value of resistance training for muscle building. It’s important!

    Top 7 Passive Income Tips for 2025 with Justin Donald
    Jan 14 2025

    He is known as the Lifestyle Investor. He started investing at 18 with a ROTH IRA, and became a multi-millionaire before he turned 40. And it all started because he wanted to replace his wife’s 36K teaching salary - and in less than a year, he did.

    Now, Justin Donald is an expert in strategies that pay today, and what will pay in the future, so he can live the life he wants to live now - not when he is older, not when he retires - NOW.

    Book Your Free Strategy Session with Justin’s team.

    In this episode, Mike and Justin discuss what the future ahead looks like. We’re on the precipice of the greatest wealth transfer in history. In the next 20 years, an estimated $75 trillion to $110 trillion will shift from the baby boomers to the millennials. And here is what you can do to make the best of the opportunities ahead.

    [3:16] Risk is part of investment, but it isn’t the end game.

    • Justin emphasizes the importance of embracing failures as valuable learning opportunities.
    • He highlights that while painful, his biggest lessons have come from losing money.
    • Examples of past investment mistakes, including a poorly documented secured position and a personal guarantee that might not be enforceable due to potential bankruptcy.


    [7:55] Justin emphasizes the importance of understanding millennial preferences for financial success.

    • He highlights the ongoing largest wealth transfer in history from baby boomers to millennials, estimated between $75 trillion to $110 trillion over the next 20 years.
    • BlackRock recently acquired $12 billion of a private credit fund with $150 billion in assets under management which is a significant indicator of growth in the sector.
    • Reduced lending from traditional banks could further fuel the private credit market.

    [13:17] Boomers Retiring & Selling

    • Justin discusses the opportunity arising from baby boomers retiring and selling their businesses.
    • He suggests investing in minority equity positions in pro sports teams, citing the increasing legislation and private equity involvement in this space.
    • There are positive returns in this sector and predicts its expansion into college sports, particularly with private universities.


    [17:42] Government-Backed Opportunities

    • There are exciting investment opportunities in defense tech, fintech, biotech, and health tech.
    • Look for companies securing long-term government contracts (10-20 years) that provide stable income streams.
    • Some government funding comes through grants instead of investments, minimizing dilution for other investors.

    [22:40] Crypto Investing is Speculative

    • There is potential for profit in cryptocurrencies, but compares penny stocks due to their highly speculative nature.
    • Many consider crypto investments to be closer to gambling than investing.

    [25:55] Bitcoin

    • Justin predicts Fortune 500 companies adopting Bitcoin as part of their treasury reserves, following the lead of companies like MicroStrategy.
    • He emphasizes Bitcoin's increasing legitimacy due to its adoption as legal tender by multiple countries and growing institutional adoption.
    • Recommends holding Bitcoin directly through cold storage for safety but acknowledges the convenience of ETFs for broader accessibility.

    Ai Multi-Channel Marketing Secrets
    Oct 2 2024


    What takes 7 hours, 11 touch points, and 4 channels?

    Converting your ideal client.

    Joe Stolte, CEO of Daily Ai, started his career with Fortune 100 companies, like Microsoft, and gained unparalleled insights into what compels customers to buy.
    After that, he made three highly successful exits, and now runs an Ai driven email and digital marketing platform called Daily Ai.

    - Friday is generally the worst day for email opens

    - 4-7am Eastern time works well for international audiences


    5. The "7-11-4 rule" for marketing: It takes about 7 hours of interaction across 11 touchpoints on 4 different platforms to convert a cold prospect.


    6. Daily AI is expanding beyond newsletters to create a "digital smart response marketing system" that will personalize messaging across multiple channels.

    Why High Achievers Check Out Early
    Aug 29 2024
    In this episode, Dan reveals that he filled 60 notebooks only for them to be washed away in a flood. He could have mourned this, but instead chose to see it as closure to a past era. Mike shares a similar experience where he threw away every box he had after his divorce. These are life changing moments, where one radical act of letting go, either by nature or by choice, transformed both Dan’s life and Mike’s life. Dan discusses how high achievers struggle with overcoming what seem like small obstacles to many because their attachment to a vision isn’t linked to a measurable, realistic goal. Their vision in general, be it perfection or manufactured by someone else, may not even be “real.” And this can be tragic, and in some cases, fatal.

What it meant was that you were you. You were collaborating with the enemy, and that got you shot."— Dan Sullivan [00:01:47 → 00:02:04]The Shift to a Network Economy: "So my sense is that it's the change in the structure of the economy that has put collaboration into one, a more positive light.
