The Golden Mic (W/ Josh Forti)

3 Things I Did To Save $20k In Taxes (Completely Legal, & Compliant With The IRS)

The Golden Mic (W/ Josh Forti)

04/18/22 • 19 min

NOTE: I am NOT a financial advisor - nothing in this episode should be taken as financial advice. Talk to a licensed tax professional, and always make sure you are doing things legally, and in compliance with the IRS.
There is a saying that goes "What you don't know can't hurt you"...
When it comes to the IRS, that statement is false...Â
Because simply by not knowing how to set things up properly, you could be paying tens of thousands of dollars extra to the IRS that you could be keeping for yourself.
In this episode, I share the 3 things I did to SIGNIFICANTLY lower my tax bill - while staying 100% compliant with the IRS.
Again, this is NOT tax advice. Always check with your tax specialist. But hopefully this will at least give you knowledge that things like this exist.
Enjoy!

In this episode, and the next two, I'm going to tell my story all the way from age 9 to current age. This episode covers from around age 9 to age 14, which is when I got my first job.

The first mini Series will come out the first week of March (Episode 33) and will be 6 episodes long over two weeks. It will be called "Designing The Life Of Your Dreams" and so I want you all to really know me and my story better so they can see that is exactly what I did.

####Key Points Discussed:

The purpose of sharing my story (3:30)
My struggles with a money mindset early on (7:21)
How I made my first money (8:30)
A key lesson from my parents (9:15)

24 - Too Busy, Can't Live (The Cost Of Speed)

The Golden Mic (W/ Josh Forti)

02/11/19 • 23 min

In this episode, I'm going to share how I used to be in such a hurry for success. During that time in my life, I was miserable and forget how to live. I'm going to explain how speed (in business and life) isn't a bad thing, but you have to be aware of the cost and be aware that if you get so caught up in one thing, you miss out on a lot of other things.

Key topics discussed:

The common messages we hear that start the downhill progress (2:35)
The most common issue people have with going too fast (5:02)
Where did I begin before hitting the brick wall (6:29)
The massive issues with going too fast (7:35)
All the questions that started to turn things around (12:36)
And the most important things I realized create success in life (13:30)

Wireless Electricity, The Future Of Energy, & A Company Funded With Crypto (W/ George Wentz)

The Golden Mic (W/ Josh Forti)

03/10/22 • 80 min

George Wentz (founder of MAD Energy) may be a genius...
Or maybe he just got lucky...
Either way, he discovered a way to transport ELECTRICITY, wirelessly. (Yeah, seriously.)
Meaning he can send electricity through the air like a wifi signal.
And he started a company (MAD Energy) to revolutionize the future of energy! (And he's funding the whole thing with crypto.)
I learned so much about how energy is created, stored, and transferred in this interview, and you will too.
Enjoy!

[REPLAY] (S2. E13) Does Absolute Truth Exist? Is Good & Bad Relative? With Nik Robbins

The Golden Mic (W/ Josh Forti)

08/21/20 • 143 min

Origin, Meaning, Destiny, And Morality.

These are the core fundamental questions we must answer to understand the world we live in.

In this episode, I sit down with Nik Robbins, one of the most genuine, positive, people I have ever met in my life, and we discuss:

Absolute Truth (Does it exist and why?)

Where does good and evil come from? (And is it subjective?)

Where is our origin? And why?

God, and our relationship with him.

Why Josh believes Christianity is the one true religion.

Social conditioning and how it has shaped us.

And more!

If you are wanting to better your understanding of God, religion, the Christian world view, the counter-arguments, and apologetics in general, this is a MUST LISTEN.

(S2. E48.) The 7 Parts Of A "Real Business" (Identifying Your KPIs and Bottlenecks)

The Golden Mic (W/ Josh Forti)

05/18/20 • 39 min

When I first started into entrepreneurship, I thought building a business meant "make a lot of money"...
I would hear people talk about "KPIs", "Systems", "Parts of their business", and "Bottlenecks"... and I remember thinking to myself:
"Yeah, or you could just sell a million dollars in revenue and all your problems would go away."
Boy was I wrong.
I, like many entrepreneurs, didn't understand what it took to build a real business.
And I suffered greatly from it.
The more money I made, the more stressed out I would get, the less time I would have with family and friends, and the deeper the hole I was digging for myself got...
It wasn't until I actually learned the parts of a "real business", and how to use them, that everything changed...
Building a business the right way starts at the beginning... not once you made a million dollars...
In to day's episode, I spell out what I have learned to be:
The 7 Parts Of A "Real Business". (Identifying KPIs & Bottlenecks.)
I break down what they are, and how I used them to scale my profits, and have more freedom and flexibility in my life.
And most of all, as cliche as it sounds, it allowed me to have a greater impact than money alone ever could have.
