I wanted to have Justin Anthony on the show today not just because he’s a hugely successful restaurateur and entertainer – he is Founder of the South African hospitality group True Story Brands and the owner of some of the top restaurants in Atlanta – but because he has been able to stay at the top of his game in an industry that isn’t very forgiving.   In This Conversation We Cover: [3:00] Growing up in South African apartheid [6:00] Going pro in soccer at 17 [9:30] Pivoting from professional soccer player to restaurateur [11:10] Opening the first South African restaurant in the U.S. [16:00] Why Justin decided to wait tables before opening his first restaurant [22:00] The teachers that impacted Justin’s growth [26:00] When David met his wife & [28:10] Opening 3 restaurants in 6 months (and why Justin does NOT recommend it!)

I was introduced to Bob Burg and his best-selling book The Go-Giver a few years ago, and by introduced I mean Kim would not let up until I read the book – and for good reason! At this point, it’s definitely the book Kim and I have gifted to the most people.   After reading The Go-Giver, I realized that, in business, I was more focused on me and my goals than what the other people’s needs were. I figure I’m not the only person out there who needs a dose of go-giving in their business life, so I start this conversation off by talking about how Bob does sales.   Then we dive deep into Bob’s new book, The Go-Giver Influencer: A Little Story About a Most Persuasive Idea. In one way or another, we’re all influencers in today’s digital world – and the insights in this book can be leveraged by anyone to grow their personal or business brand.   In This Conversation We Cover: [4:20] Growing up in the Burg household [6:10] Learning about sales from Zig Ziglar & Tom Hopkins [8:50] The principles of being a good writ

Today’s Topic: How we messed up & succeeded in parenting... all at the same time!   Parenting is so worthwhile, but this shit ain’t easy. These little humans don’t come with a manual, and you WILL mess up.   For today’s Fri-Date, Kim and I chat about the most important key to parenting, the importance of the first 5-7 years, and how to avoid letting your past insecurities leak into your parenting. Full disclosure: we are not specialists, we’re just parents. But we’ve learned a lot over the past 15 years, and we’d like to share it with you.   What’s the most important thing we learned?   You’re going to clash with your significant other, at some point, about how to raise your kids. Kim and I came from wildly different backgrounds, and as a result, we do things in wildly different ways.   But you can’t let that division manifest in your parenting – you have to present a united front. You have to teach your child that, when a decision is made by either parent, that is THE decision.   One tool we have is a sa

We all want to maximize our business and put more play into our lives – but today’s guest, Tommy Baker, really lives his life this way.   Tommy made the decision to leave NYC and head to Phoenix, AZ, where his heart called him to be, and now he’s living his passion by growing the Resist Average Coaching Academy.   We dig deep into the nuts and bolts of how anyone can create measurable change in their life – I took a ton of notes, and I think you will too.   In This Conversation We Cover: [3:15] What it was like growing up in Colombia VS the U.S [8:35] The #1 self-development tool [9:30] Tactics you can use to make 2018 the best year of your life [14:15] The three C’s of massive success [15:45] Experiencing breakthrough & acting on your revelations [18:00] Insight & integration [20:00] Key ingredients to executing your vision [23:40] Emotional intelligence & awareness [30:45] The Daily 6 (six daily habits that all entrepreneurs should have) [31:45] Choosing where you live & designing an enviro

Today’s Topic: How and why we travel (without breaking the bank)   Most people say they love travel and everybody has their own bucket list, but very few people are actually checking items off that bucket list.   If you want to make travel real priority, this episode is for you – because Kim and I have a lot of tips for travelling more often, making the most out each trip, and doing it all without gouging our wallets.   Today you’re going to learn…   How always having an upcoming trip has made Kim and I more focused, more creative, and less stressed.

Hayden Vavra and his wife Emily are only 30 years old, but they’ve made over $1,000,000 every year since they were 26 – which puts them in the top 0.5% of American income.   How did they accomplish this feat?

Today’s Topic: Improving relationships, excelling in business, and managing your weakness.   Kim and I are newly obsessed with the StrengthsFinder assessment, and this week we’re going to share how you can leverage this tool to improve your relationships, excel in business, and manage your weakness.   What is StrengthsFinder?   This assessment measures and ranks you on a unique set of 34 natural talents, as opposed to skills, and identifies your five greatest strengths.   When you become aware of your strengths – and the strengths of the people you live with or work with – it’s easier to take advantage of each others’ strengths and work as an effective team. Can you imagine what using this knowledge can do for a business team, or a couple?   You can take the Gallup StrengthsFinder test here: gallupstrengthscenter.com.   We recommend taking the full 34-strength test. It’s a little more expensive than just the top five, but it’s just as helpful to know what your weaknesses are so that you can better manage them

Today Kim and I share how a decade of failures led us to our passion business, how you can find your passion, and how you can turn that into a business (if you want to).   When people decide to start a new venture, they often ask themselves, “What does the world need?” We definitely did this for years, chasing bed bug and hemorrhoid relief businesses because they had a lot of google searches – but we had no passion for it.   Instead, ask yourself, “What makes me come alive?” What makes you passionate? What makes you focus on impacting the world? THAT is actually what the world needs.   Finding Your Passion   We did two things to narrow in on our passion and business, and these simple exercises can help you too:   Make a list of things you love to do; things that you naturally do and that light you up. Ask your honest friends – people who will give you true feedback – about what you are good at, or what gift you bring into their life.   Our friends told Rob that he was inquisitive, and he does love to ask q
