Ask. by Ryan Levesque. I finished this book in less than 2 days. I was so interested in the content and I literally couldn’t put it down. The first half talks about his story and the second half explains the “Ask Formula” that he’s developed. It’s basically about asking questions to prospects, getting them into a really advanced sales funnel, and then transitioning them into customers through a series of surveys and stories. But it’s all about asking the right questions, which most businesses don’t do, which means they think they know what customers want when they actually don’t. So if this sounds interesting to you, go check it out at here!

Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook by Gary Vaynerchuk. The second book is by one of my favorite entrepreneurs and this is his 3rd book. I’ve talked about his first book before called Crush It!, and I have his second book on my Amazon Wishlist called The Thank You Economy, and now I just started reading this one a couple days ago. It’s all about how to tell your story in a noisy social world. The title of the book means that, just like boxing, you want to throw a few small punches before you throw the big knockout punch. So that means a few subtle soft sells then a more direct sell. It’s about building trust with your community and speaking the native language for each individual social media platform. I’ll have this book done in a few days and I’ll be anxiously awaiting his next book which is due out in March. But if you want to grab this book and really ramp up your social media strategy, just visit this link now!

RWR-020: Find 3 Hobbies You Love

When it comes to being happy, you really need to do things you love. People always say, “Follow your passion.” While I believe that and agree, I think there’s more to it than just that. In this short episode, I break down this quote and explain how it relates to me, and how you should think about it this way… “Find three hobbies you love: one to make you money, one to keep you in shape, and one to be creative.”

Thanks again for listening! Be sure to leave me a review on iTunes and I can’t wait to share the next episode with you soon. Until next time, think less, risk more, regret nothing!

RWR-019: Bringing the Most Influential People Together with Joshua Santos

A Facebook friend of mine, Jason Reaves, reached out to me about a month or so ago. He actually initiated a group message on Facebook which also included Joshua Santos, a person I was not familiar with. Jason gave the backstory and was basically the middle man, connecting Joshua and myself together.

After learning more about Joshua, I knew he was the perfect candidate to be on this podcast, so I set out to make that happen. One of the coolest things he’s done recently was connecting Andy Frisella and Sean Whalen together. Both of these guys are in your face, smart business men, and have big followings. Funny thing, Joshua didn’t really know either of them, and both guys thought the other knew Joshua. Turns out, he just wanted to bring them together to create magic, which is exactly what happened.

Sit back, relax, and listen to Joshua’s inspiring story about building relationships and consistently adding value. Enjoy!

“Most of us, of course have never taken such vows—but we choose to live like monks anyway, rooting ourselves to a home or a career and using the future as a kind of phony ritual that justifies the present. In this way, we end up spending (as Thoreau put it) ‘the best part of one’s life earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it.’ ” -Rolf Potts
