How do you grow a company with no capital, product, or service?
What does it mean to mine, monetize and maximize relational capital?
Whatever your resource impediment or impairment is, someone else has that and you just have to figure out how to ethically leverage it
How Jay created 1.5mm in less than 6 months by finding arbitrage between products, services, and audiences
Find “strategic investors” - who else benefits from your growth? Complementary or related products, companies that benefit and naturally grow when you grow - and demonstrate to them that your growth is beneficial for them too - and then get them to help you.
How do you build trust in a business relationship? How do you get someone to introduce you to all of their clients?
Before you expend a ton of capital and time on a project - try to get some validation. The only validation that counts is dollars spent, not what a focus group thinks.
How to easily validate your business ideas without taking risk on the front end.
There’s a huge amount of IP that’s available to license from places like the Navy, the government, etc Find “parallel universes” that aren’t competitive and plug those opportunities in.
Never put anything at risk until you’ve de-risked and validated your product, service, or business model
What happens when a typical business is STUCK? Figure out what you’re stuck with.
How can you unlock an “unlimited business checkbook” to fund ANY problem within your business?
How someone got paid $1mm and a free Porsche to buy a Porsche dealership with creative deal making Spend time traveling outside whatever you do and whatever you’re interested in.
Study other businesses, study how other products and services market, how they sell, study topics that are outside your domain of knowledge.
How to train yourself to spot outrageous business opportunities lying around you in everyday life.
How you can make the “money connection” - you don’t need to be brilliant, but you have to have the right “sensors” turned on - and they only turn on when you broaden your understanding of what’s possible
What is Greatness? And why do so many people fall short of it?
Everyone has the ability to be great - and everyone wants to be great.
98% of people are mediocre - yet they want to be great - WHY?
What does it take to become GREAT? In your career, job, business, partnering, relationships - how you can achieve greatness in the key areas of your life.
There are 4 keys to achieving greatness With every improvement in greatness there is an exponential increase in quality and outcome - not a linear increase.
Most breakthroughs don’t come from WITHIN an industry - they come from OUTSIDE it.
Homework: Be curious, ask people questions, dig into how other businesses and industries do business.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi - The Greatest Unanswered Question in Psychology Today
The Science of Success
11/07/19 • 39 min
In this episode we have one of the absolute living legends of psychology on the show - we discuss the GREATEST unanswered question in psychology, the biggest thing people mis-understand about flow, what advice young people can take away from our guest's incredible career, and what he thinks the absolute biggest takeaways from his own research are - and much more with Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Your fate, your destiny, your future is not set out for you - you can shape it to be what you want it to be. You have the freedom to make life better for yourself and more worthwhile and meaningful for yourselves. Even the greatest traumas and struggles can be overcome. You don’t have to achieve fame and fortune to live a meaningful and wonderful life and to be truly alive. Mihaly is Claremont Graduate University’s Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Management. He is a bestselling author and founder and co-director of the Quality of Life Research Center. He is a member of the American Academy of Education, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the National Academy of Leisure Studies and his work has been featured on NPR,TED, WIRED, and more!!
The key ideas supported by the data around how people respond to Trauma.
People who are focused beyond themselves and their own wellbeing are more resilient to the things that happen to them.
When you focus on the wellbeing of others, society, your family, etc - you’re much more resilient to Trauma
How do you think of yourself? Do you think of yourself as the body in which you live? Do you see yourself as being part of a family, group, religion etc? This will shape your response to trauma.
The self is a very poor site for meaning - don’t put all your eggs in the fragile basket of the self
We are all connected - recognizing that helps contextualize our existence
Flow and happiness are not the same thing - but they are very related
Flow is a momentary state of experience and happiness is a general perspective towards life
If your life is full of flow - it will be a happy life!
How do we consistently create flow states in our lives?
If you have those 2 traits you are more likely to be in flow more often
Pay attention to the world around you and connect with it one way or another
Life is quite malleable - we often feel like we’ve been dealt a tough hand, but its often how we react to it that is the most important
How does Mihaly think about creating flow states in his own life?
What is the greatest unanswered question in psychology today?
What is the biggest mistake or pitfall that younger people (in their mid 20s) can make?
You have to keep an open mind, be open to learning
Don’t be too instinctive, don’t become an ideologue too soon
What’s the biggest thing that people misunderstand about Flow and Mihay’s research?
We have the opportunity to shape ourselves into whoever we want to be- but we have to take into account where we came from and what our experiences have been.
What’s the biggest takeaway from all the research on Flow?
Your fate, your destiny, your future is not set out for you - you can shape it to be what you want it to be.
You have the freedom to make life better for yourself and more worthwhile and meaningful for yourselves. Even the greatest traumas and struggles can be overcome.
You don’t have to achieve fame and fortune to live a meaningful and wonderful life and to be truly alive.
It may not be an easy road to get there, but it’s possible for anyone to get there. This is open to everyone, but it’s hard to do the work and get there.
Life can be much more fun than you think! We have to look past the limited perspective of our own egos and experiences to understand the beauty of life.

The Science of Success
04/04/24 • 43 min
In this transformative episode titled "Smiles That Transform: Unlocking the Power of Positive Energy," we delve into the groundbreaking insights of Dr. Rich Castellano, also known as The Smile Doctor, exploring the profound impact of smiles on our personal and professional lives. Drawing from his best-selling book "The Smile Prescription," we uncover the science and stories behind the life-changing benefits of smiling, from enhanced happiness and health to greater abundance in life.
Dr. Castellano challenges entrepreneurs to manage and measure their Emotional Intelligence (EQ) with innovative tools like the SMILE Score, offering a fresh perspective on the critical role of smiles and EQ in achieving success. We explore the intricacies of how our facial expressions not only reflect our internal states but also influence them, and how this understanding can lead to improved patient compliance, sales call success, and overall life satisfaction.
Listeners will learn practical strategies for maintaining a positive demeanor even in the face of stress and burnout, fighting resistance to adopt a more positive outlook, and leveraging the power of positive energy to create lasting change in their lives and the lives of those around them. With compelling evidence that smiling more can increase pain tolerance and even extend life expectancy, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to harness their greatest asset—their smile—for a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
