Daring to Dream Big: How a Father's Near-Death Experience Inspired Ultimate Entrepreneurship for Kids Ft. Jeff Mansen

[00:00:00] I realized, like, I actually understood how easy it was to make money.

[00:00:03] But then whenever I realized I could just go sell waters and make 200 bucks and save that up.

[00:00:07] What can you do for humanity as a whole? Because once you get 100 million dollars or

[00:00:13] even some people 10 million dollars is good and you have the abilities,

[00:00:16] why are you not trying to figure out something for kids?

[00:00:20] But it's not quite just about the money. It's about

[00:00:23] the person that you can become, right? Like the growth that comes from doing all these things.

[00:00:28] Act of making money doesn't have to be online. That's the one thing like today everybody's like,

[00:00:33] I want to be an influencer. Being a YouTuber and influencer is like number one

[00:00:36] on what kids want to do today. It doesn't have to be that way, right?

[00:00:40] Self-learning, people skills, marketing, sales, you know mindset, copywriting. So we

[00:00:46] teach them to go in and actually create a business and become an affiliate. Set some real

[00:00:52] goals. Since I almost died and had that miracle healing, I'm on a mission and I'm not going to stop.

[00:00:59] Guys, welcome back to Content is Profit. We are here in studio with a special guest today.

[00:01:07] I feel weird. I'm gonna lie.

[00:01:08] Why?

[00:01:09] I feel weird in this seat. This seat is odd.

[00:01:12] You're paying for dinner today.

[00:01:14] People right now you cannot see the guest but guess you got my seat, you know? So it's

[00:01:18] a good one right there. It's a good one. You got good energy.

[00:01:21] I say guess because it's a surprise. You know people don't really know who it is.

[00:01:25] I don't trust Fonzie touching this. But anyways, with that guys, I wanna give a warm welcome to

[00:01:33] our dear friends. Jeff and Nick, let's go!

[00:01:39] Welcome guys, welcome, welcome.

[00:01:41] Thank you, thank you.

[00:01:43] You got the voice for the seat. You know what? Now I feel at ease.

[00:01:47] Okay good. You got the voice. So a little background here. We've worked with Jeff a

[00:01:53] while back to help get the show rolling. Right now you're on what?

[00:01:58] Episode 58.

[00:02:00] Incredible. Also you're an incredible business person here in Jacksonville.

[00:02:05] Nate is the offspring, the kiddo and we've also seen your evolution in all this process.

[00:02:13] I mean when we met you, I'm pretty sure we were at an event and Nate was there with

[00:02:17] you right? For us as a couple. Like wow that is so cool right? That you bring your kid

[00:02:22] with you to this type of events. Absolutely amazing.

[00:02:25] Yeah so Jeff, why don't you share a little bit of your backstory. You're on the online

[00:02:29] space as well but you're also like a brick and mortar I guess business?

[00:02:34] Yeah yeah.

[00:02:34] Like a local business here in Jacksonville?

[00:02:36] So I started out in the lawn and landscaping company when I was 20

[00:02:40] and I got to a point where we were building beautiful natural looking water features. I mean

[00:02:46] the most beautiful like stone and waterfalls and lighting and plants and you add the fish

[00:02:54] and I took it to a really good level to art form and around 2010 when Nate was two

[00:03:02] started to get very very sick. Extremely ill and it's an autoimmune disorder that

[00:03:07] I had since I was 13 but it comes in waves so this wave lasted years. So by the time

[00:03:14] it got to 2016 I literally was like down 75 pounds. Imagine me now I'm at like 185,

[00:03:21] 75 pounds lighter. I mean I was wow it was bad and literally one morning I almost died

[00:03:29] and I took him to school. I was handicapped wasn't working and I took a nap and I woke

[00:03:35] up and to use the bathroom sometime in the morning and I collapsed on the bathroom floor

[00:03:40] and it felt like my heart was going to explode. I'm like oh my god what am I

[00:03:42] going to do like I'm not going to make it out of this and for about four hours I was trapped.

[00:03:49] My phone's in the truck and nobody's around and I made a deal with God like look God

[00:03:54] like I'm probably not going to make it out of this but if I do make it out of this

[00:03:58] I'm going to you know make it out of that day. I'm going to create a memoir for him

[00:04:03] of everything I wanted him to know about life success and making money because I wasn't going

[00:04:07] to be around to raise him I thought and ended up having a miracle healing with a frequency machine

[00:04:14] and at one point he's like eight or whatever and I say hey buddy you know maybe we should

[00:04:20] launch this as a book and try to change the world and what'd you say? I said yes. Yeah

[00:04:27] like let's do it you know so just like that yeah sure I'll change the world let's do it.

[00:04:33] Let's do it. So what I did is now with my second chance to be a dad you know I'm

[00:04:41] uncovering all the best information that I want him to know as a teenager like so we're going

[00:04:46] to events where he constantly you know how much do I ever talk about like internet marketing

[00:04:52] and business like around do I ever? 24 7. It never stops. Yeah it never stops so it you know

[00:05:00] he's being taught by you know like one-on-one like he has no choice but to absorb all this stuff and

[00:05:06] then when we go to places like this past weekend we were out in Boise and we're

[00:05:11] we're hanging out with like a few dozen people and Russell Brunson and Steve Larson

[00:05:15] like and they were teaching their you know the information that's going to be in their new

[00:05:18] book and here he is walking around stalking the people random you know like exposed to

[00:05:24] people that in the room I mean we're at lunch with people that were doing you know

[00:05:28] have done a hundred million dollars you know he's sitting right next to Joe Joletti he's right you

[00:05:32] know like talking to people like no big deal but he sees what's possible and he's not you

[00:05:38] know he's in public school but he knows there's a whole different world out there.

[00:05:43] Yeah I think that's impressive right and we've heard it inside of those circles that success

[00:05:49] it comes in a way also by the environment that you surround yourself with right it's a

[00:05:55] it's a huge part of it and I love the fact that you are bringing you know Nate along with you

[00:06:01] everywhere right and showing him you know all these places all these different perspectives

[00:06:07] and you know I know you have some some beef with the school system right and the

[00:06:14] the educational system here I would say nowadays and I'm sure we're gonna get a little bit

[00:06:19] but I'm pretty curious on your perspective Nate like while your dad was going through all this

[00:06:24] and I know you're pretty young but what were you thinking right and when he first came up and

[00:06:29] tell you like hey let's do something similar that is not let's do something different that

[00:06:33] is not just going to school right I want to show you a different world out there you know

[00:06:38] people that have created a change that are very successful in their own ways what were

[00:06:43] you thinking what were you going through? I didn't really understand it until I was like 12 whenever he

[00:06:48] first brought me to a Funnel Hacking Live I didn't actually go in and watch like everybody

[00:06:52] speaking but I mean I went down there and was like having the experience like being around

[00:06:57] the people yeah and then I was like oh yeah like I was like actually starting to like get

[00:07:02] into it and understanding it more because I was so young I didn't understand it at the time

[00:07:06] when I was like eight to ten yeah I was first getting started and so whenever it got

[00:07:10] started or like whenever I first went to a Funnel Hacking Live that's when I was like

[00:07:15] yeah I finally understand it. You recently posted a video right on your Facebook about you Nate

[00:07:21] you know sharing one of the lessons right in that event that you guys just went to

[00:07:25] and like Fonsi said I mean what those events changed our life right the direction of like

[00:07:29] what we decided to do so I'm like man I wish I was that young saying the thing that you

[00:07:35] know Nate is saying because you know those skills are just gonna be able to you're gonna

[00:07:41] be able to create whatever you want as a future and Jeff you as a dad man I admire you so much

[00:07:46] I remember the first time I saw you and that's you know it's like man I think Luca was like

[00:07:50] recently born I'm like I want that right I want I want to be able to bring my kids

[00:07:55] to something like this where they can they depend on themselves and their and the skills

[00:07:59] are developing to to create whatever they want to create right so along that project right

[00:08:04] you guys you guys are working right now in a couple things right the project kit and the

[00:08:07] ultimate lemonade stand yeah do you want to share a little bit of what those entail

[00:08:12] yeah so it's funny just out in case anybody sees the video that's the book so after I had

[00:08:20] the miracle healing with the frequency machine and made it out of my mess the the prodigy kid

[00:08:25] book is what we ended up with the 40 success principles kids should learn at school but aren't

[00:08:29] being taught and after that I'm like okay that's the mindset part so now we need okay

[00:08:35] he needs to know about like like thinking big and and how success works and how the the

[00:08:40] principles like where you have to pick a day in the future and have a definite purpose and

[00:08:44] and and all these different things that go into that and so I wrote a book

[00:08:49] called a kid with a big vision and then I'm like okay well we need habits we need

[00:08:53] we need morning routines we need what successful people do so that's a whole other book and

[00:08:57] I created a blueprint so health wealth relationships all about entrepreneurship and

[00:09:03] it's like the prodigy kid blueprint this is great don't you love it and you know I'd give

[00:09:08] the book to Nate's friends and they'd be like oh this is cool and they look through it

[00:09:12] and then I'd ask him how was the book did you read it out and you know like

[00:09:16] all about the golden rule and and write your goals down and they'd be like

[00:09:19] oh no I didn't read it like nobody not one person yeah and I'm like oh my god like

[00:09:24] nobody's interested even even Nate like he was kind of four I don't want to say force fed but

[00:09:29] he had the opportunity to hear me non-stop talk about it talk about it of course he's

[00:09:34] gonna absorb it but nobody's interested in it so when I figured out and tried this tried

[00:09:41] that tried this tried that one day it was like okay the ultimate lemonade stand

[00:09:47] and I explained to him how a kid can become a millionaire with a lemonade stand and got into

[00:09:54] how that works he freaked out was like okay when can we do it when can we do it

[00:09:58] and then I explained to some of his friends and they're like I want to do that how can I

[00:10:03] how do I start and it goes into the most basic entrepreneurial transaction like right now

[00:10:10] this coming weekend anybody listening to this they can do what we're doing or what Nate's doing

[00:10:15] and go out there and you know if you're diligent make a couple hundred bucks selling

[00:10:19] waters through a thirsty crowd the most basic entrepreneurial task that you can be in action

[00:10:24] tomorrow you know it's not a 15 year old flipping houses it's not a 15 year old

[00:10:30] creating funnels and are building websites or doing all these complicated things starting

[00:10:35] a dog walking business and no it's you get ice you get a cooler you get water and you go to

[00:10:41] a high traffic location and you sell freaking waters with three bucks of water and you sell

[00:10:47] 10 you make 30 bucks an hour if you sell 10 an hour and you know you sell a certain amount

[00:10:51] you 70 waters whatever your couple hundred bucks profit let's go I love it um well I want

[00:11:01] to hear your reaction your point of view right as a kid you know you we have the book and

[00:11:05] I think I relate you know I don't think you have to be a kid right like sometimes I see a

[00:11:08] book and you're like oh I bought it I have it now I do touch it I know it and it's not

[00:11:13] true right like we have to go through it and read it and consume it and put it in practice

[00:11:17] and just what you did was super awesome as far as like creating like this program I guess

[00:11:22] right that people can go through it you got excited why do you get excited because I think

[00:11:25] this is a huge lesson for a lot of people creating stuff other a lot of people that

[00:11:29] listen to the show might have a product or might have something that they're creating

[00:11:33] and they just want to get their people excited about consuming it and executing it right

[00:11:37] so I want to hear on your side like what was the thing that made you like really excited

[00:11:41] about trying this out so I got really excited because I realized like I actually understood

[00:11:46] how easy it was like how to make how easy it was to make money like I didn't understand

[00:11:52] like how I could become a millionaire like I didn't I couldn't wrap my head around it

[00:11:56] but then whenever I realized I could just go sell waters and make 200 bucks and save that

[00:12:00] up and be like a millionaire like one point how much is it like 1.52 million or something

[00:12:06] so the way we explain it is you make $200 in profit let's say a kid starts at 14 the day that

[00:12:12] the week they turn 14 they they make 200 bucks and they do the boring work the next week they

[00:12:18] go out they make 200 bucks next week they go out for the entire age of 14 that's call it

[00:12:22] 50 weeks 200 bucks that's 10 grand so when you're 15 you do the boring work again and

[00:12:28] you make $200 every week for 50 weeks now you're 16 do the same thing 17 you do the

[00:12:34] same thing and you end up with 40 grand the day you turn 18 you put that 40 grand into

[00:12:38] the most basic index fund and because of compound interest we explain how your money your money

[00:12:45] doubles depending on the interest rate so what the market's gone up over the past 150 years

[00:12:50] past 25 years is about seven percent so the rule 72 says if you divide by that your interest

[00:12:57] rate by 72 then that's how many years it takes for your in your investment to double so

[00:13:02] we'll call it instead of seven we'll call it 7.2 it's 10 years now so 18 you have 40 grand

[00:13:08] 28 you have 80 then you have 160 and by the time you get to 68 you have 1.28 million dollars

[00:13:13] and let's just say all you did was sold made $200 a week selling waters while you were a

[00:13:18] teenager and then you never invested again so then we say okay that's making two dollars of

[00:13:24] water in profit what about making two twenty dollars off of that one client 200 off that

[00:13:29] one client two thousand dollars off of that one client and why only stop investing the day you

[00:13:35] turn 18 why not find better investments why not crypto why not real estate why not leveraging

[00:13:43] and you know private equity and buying businesses why not do that yeah and then they're like oh my

[00:13:49] god and they realize that it doesn't it's not very hard to do yeah yeah simple simple

[00:13:55] steps i like the breakdown obviously you know once you turn 18 and even you know 15 16 you

[00:14:02] start realizing oh well maybe there's other things i can sell that you know my profit is

[00:14:07] going to be more than 200 dollars right and you can start doubling you know like nate here

[00:14:12] he's now exposed to an environment of people that have lots of ideas right you're gonna

[00:14:18] probably have a pretty awesome network when you turn 18 that you're gonna be like hey you know

[00:14:23] i've been in this world now for five you know eight years who knows i can help you you know

[00:14:28] build a funnel now or i can be a closer for you right and you get experience under somebody's

[00:14:32] bill you can make more than obviously 200 dollars in profit and you can put it into that

[00:14:37] i love it i love this simple breakdown for somebody to understand and i think that's a key

[00:14:42] concept not just excuse me for children right like that's for anything if you're trying to

[00:14:49] explain your frameworks right your own ip into the market you need to be able to break it down

[00:14:57] into a simple concept so people can understand and get excited about it right and just like

[00:15:02] you said right now you demonstrated this with a story right imagine you are 14 years old and

[00:15:06] you start selling waters like that is the most basic way for you to share an idea so for

[00:15:12] you listening right now if you have a framework you have a product this is an incredible example

[00:15:17] of how you can share it and get people excited to try it out so now i'm curious have you done

[00:15:24] the ultimate lemonade lemonade stand right like have you been out there has it just been the

[00:15:28] lemonade stand have you tried other things i'm curious what has been your experience so i've

[00:15:31] tried other things like i've been trying i've been trying to sell like other drinks not

[00:15:35] just water so nice we have caprisons for a dollar so like a cheaper option like you know

[00:15:39] like younger kids like caprisons they're like a sweet drink on a hot day or like red bowls

[00:15:45] or coffees or anything like any other i'll be a client yeah i was just drinking a red bull

[00:15:51] right now like red bowls or coffees for like five bucks and then we have like

[00:15:54] cheaper options the waters are like two or three bucks usually yeah and the caprisons

[00:15:58] are one dollar so there's like a different selection of drinks that anybody can get

[00:16:02] yeah that's awesome i would imagine i'm curious real quick i would imagine me uh how

[00:16:07] old are you right now 15 at 15 so i would imagine myself at 15 going out into you know

[00:16:14] trying to sell waters beverages i feel like i would at that time in my life i would have been

[00:16:19] a little bit concerned of what other people might think of me right like i was like oh

[00:16:23] like am i going to be asking them for money and stuff you know like you're a teenager

[00:16:27] you're like you know i want to be having fun with my friends you know again the world is

[00:16:33] still yeah i would love to hear your feedback on this but like the world is telling you

[00:16:37] right and what you're seeing is me as a kid i'm supposed to go to school and then go

[00:16:41] have fun with my friends right obviously i'm doing air quotes because i personally don't

[00:16:45] believe that i feel like this is the path right um but i'm curious you're ready and i want to

[00:16:51] hear you too but i'm curious on on nate like how do you feel those first couple times that

[00:16:56] you went out there that you had a little bit of false beliefs you know maybe you know a little

[00:17:01] bit of self-talk and obviously you now are doing it so what is the contrast to that what

[00:17:07] are you telling yourself right now i'm excited to hear this so now i'm not scared to go out

[00:17:11] at all and like go to anybody but before like the first time we went out there

[00:17:15] i was scared and like didn't want to go up to people and i didn't know what to say

[00:17:18] and i was like kind of awkward and i didn't sell any waters like we ended up just giving

[00:17:23] waters out for free because i couldn't sell any because it was our first time yeah and

[00:17:27] eventually i started selling a couple waters like i think my first time i sold 12 or 12 bucks

[00:17:32] worth of waters i think right or something like that was like really like low yeah over time i

[00:17:38] just gradually started making more and more that's awesome better at it just because i was like

[00:17:42] more of like a people person and i was like better with people and like talking i wasn't like

[00:17:47] embarrassed or like scared or anything it reminds me of uh what are mostly said that i confident

[00:17:53] is just like an on the navel stack of proof you know that you've done something over and

[00:17:56] over again right yeah i like that's kind of like how it sounds the first time you're so

[00:18:01] nervous right you're like oh i'm afraid of like talking to people maybe selling them but then

[00:18:04] eventually you start making that first dollar right first 12 dollars you're like oh maybe

[00:18:08] i can do this right let me sell to the next person and now and you've built a confident

[00:18:13] to not only sell water right but be like how can we expand their product line right uh jeff

[00:18:19] i'm curious because i know you you know i have to share this yeah wonder you mentioned

[00:18:25] wondering about like how does he feel about friends or people thinking what he's doing so

[00:18:30] we went to the blues fest out in jack's peach not too long ago when it was here in april and

[00:18:35] as we were walking up he saw two friends you know a guy and a girl and hey what's up nate

[00:18:40] you know oh cool i wish i was doing that and then we went on to the next you know then

[00:18:44] all of a sudden here's two more kids like hey what's up oh you're doing ultimate lemonade

[00:18:48] stand cool cool and we get around and his buddy was dead set on no three dollars of

[00:18:53] water is too much and we have two coolers and and nates like no it's three dollars i

[00:18:58] don't want to undercharge i want to charge like what we're what we can get and the other

[00:19:01] one's like no no no we're going to charge less we want we want and so we i kind of tested them

[00:19:07] and i i went back and forth between the two but the one i was i was around more the one that

[00:19:14] was trying to sell for two i don't think he i think he sold like one water an hour and nate

[00:19:18] sold like 30 dollars worth and we we you know we left pretty pretty quick we had to go to an

[00:19:25] event after that but um it was it was funny that when nate's over there he's talking about

[00:19:30] how is he gonna feel is he gonna be embarrassed he was going get your water right over here come

[00:19:36] on get your water i got water can you do it please i don't know if my voice oh yeah that's

[00:19:45] but that's what he was doing like waving his hand

[00:19:48] like

[00:20:00] absolutely big buckets of water like i got water two dollars a water or two dollars a water yeah get

[00:20:06] you two for four dollars right here i love it i love it that's uh it kind of reminds me of

[00:20:12] back home we would go to the stadiums to watch like a soccer game right and they were

[00:20:16] like either selling beer or like the plantain chips or we were to the market and there's always

[00:20:21] this white this uh guy uh screaming and i'm gonna say it in spanish but what it means is

[00:20:26] yellow yellow yellow the plantain that's why he's saying and he's like ah mario mario mario

[00:20:31] mario platano and everybody's like yeah give me the plantains you know but at the end of the

[00:20:36] day like that just reminds me of what steve larson says right and for those that are

[00:20:42] listening i don't know who steve larston is go check him out he talks about you know creating

[00:20:46] offers great marketer but he he loves um oh what is his name pete barnum right he loves pete barnum

[00:20:53] dramatic demonstrations there we go and pete barnum has a quote that says you know something

[00:20:59] terrible happens without promotion nothing right and it is perfect for what you guys are

[00:21:05] talking about right you are promoting yourself you're promoting your product right the water

[00:21:09] hydration it's like hey dude like you guys are enjoying this event you don't want to get dehydrated

[00:21:14] i got your water right here it doesn't matter if the other guy is trying to say undercut you

[00:21:18] if he's not promoting right if it might be a little bit embarrassed of oh what is other people

[00:21:22] gonna think about me they're probably not going to sell right but again i will go back to

[00:21:28] and this is based on personal experience but growing up i'm like i don't know if out of

[00:21:33] obviously i wouldn't need practice and experience build confidence just like you have right but

[00:21:38] i find it impressive that like now you're going out there and you know promoting this

[00:21:42] process and going to different events and making money i think is also amazing what

[00:21:46] you've built and what you guys are teaching to other kids as well so what we did is i you know

[00:21:52] think about one of the most valuable skills that you can think that a kid would need right

[00:21:58] now and we've infused those lessons within a basic ultimate lemonade stand so you know think

[00:22:07] about think about building a list how important is that think about having a website think about

[00:22:12] having a business in the first place yeah self-learning people skills marketing sales

[00:22:20] you know mindset all these different copywritings so we we teach them to go in and actually

[00:22:27] create a business and become an affiliate you know begin to actually really make money like

[00:22:33] set some real goals like and then from there it leads into traditional businesses it leads them

[00:22:39] down econ is level three and then high value skills is level four yeah definitely is um the

[00:22:47] skills that you're learning is not quite so much about let's build a profitable business

[00:22:52] right but is again quoting steve again i love that steve is part of this conversation here

[00:22:57] today make sure you call someone send them to steve uh but it's about you know he always

[00:23:02] talked about when we first started he said you know your your business grows to the extent

[00:23:07] that you do right and this relates so much again it's not at this age of course you

[00:23:14] want to make money you know naturally but it's not quite just about the money it's about

[00:23:20] the person that you can become right like the growth that come from doing all these things

[00:23:26] something at least we grew in a bubble where there wasn't much you know it wasn't very normal

[00:23:33] for the kids your age to go get a job right um like back in venezuela at all right so we went

[00:23:41] to school and then we would just go play soccer and practice soccer soccer soccer right

[00:23:45] now looking you know looking back at it i'm like i wish i would have get a job i wish i would have

[00:23:50] a something on a on a sales position right that would help me build my confidence like

[00:23:55] help me understand people and their problems and how i can help them and serve them all

[00:24:00] these things and i think this is what that is doing right is helping the kid grow right

[00:24:07] and then eventually whatever they want to take on they're going to come with confidence and

[00:24:12] experience and they're going to be able to be successful at it because they have this foundation

[00:24:16] right you're helping them build a great foundation of character right and character traits that they

[00:24:23] can put on into their life i want to make a link obviously with the concept of the show

[00:24:28] right and contains profit because a lot of people ask the question on the connection between

[00:24:32] you know the promotion aspect and like the monetization and when most people think about

[00:24:37] monetizing their content is mostly around sponsorships and like the visual thing that

[00:24:43] you do right but we talked a lot about not only like the program but actually the act of making

[00:24:47] money doesn't have to be online like like that's the one thing like today everybody's like i want

[00:24:52] to be an influencer like i think being a youtuber an influencer is like number one

[00:24:56] on what kids want to do today it doesn't have to be that way right and a good business

[00:25:02] foundation is really important with like the things that you're teaching in this program for

[00:25:06] example to be able to then when you do the promotion side of it right that you guys have

[00:25:11] been talking about it then your business can support that because we've seen it all over the

[00:25:16] place even with businesses that that you know hire us and people that that we help the

[00:25:21] business foundation is not there and you know i'm raising my hand like we've been learning

[00:25:25] along the way too i wish we had something like that right but you know in our family

[00:25:28] nobody was entrepreneur nobody was a business owner right like uh and there's we were not

[00:25:33] in that environment so dude i command you for like creating that environment not only for your

[00:25:38] family command command you what did i say command you command you so here's the thing is

[00:25:45] these two always have a battle and i have to let you i gotta bring this into the conversation

[00:25:51] yeah yeah so there's always it's a pick a bro right so i have to let you know because

[00:25:56] i'm getting to a point now where i'm awfully nervous right now and when i when i get

[00:26:02] needles or i'm in a situation i start feeling nerves then then i have to let you know that

[00:26:09] this is the opportunity to figure out for once and not for all which one is the

[00:26:13] pick a bro which one is going to be the one it's definitely fancy all right all right

[00:26:18] he's trying to make you lower your guard no because here's what happens is i i might pass

[00:26:24] out and and i've got a very large tongue right so i'll need the best bro to like pull my

[00:26:31] tongue so i don't definitely fancy okay oh good thing you're right here

[00:26:41] okay i'm sorry

[00:26:42] no no this is what the show is about exactly this is okay so but fancy's the better bro

[00:26:49] yeah definitely a better bro i mean he has a better boy i'll take a better beard you know

[00:26:53] i tried to grow my beard the other day like fancy and uh my son fancy's fiance was like

[00:26:59] dude you look like you aged like five years in a week and i'm like okay yeah let me shave that off

[00:27:05] yeah uh but anyways uh dude jeff like first of all incredible right we i've you know we've

[00:27:12] seen you since you had this idea and and now you're executing on it you're you're putting

[00:27:17] your family you're getting in an environment that we've seen everything come to fruition

[00:27:21] and i also want to highlight your show like because you started it on spot it has evolved

[00:27:28] last time we talked about the show you told me that pretty big names are very excited to be a

[00:27:33] part of it right you mentioned a couple of people have been coming on you you get to share that

[00:27:37] in a second but uh the concept is like so unique yeah and people have been really liking

[00:27:43] it yeah so you know again tying it all together right we talked about the business

[00:27:47] the business itself the the foundations that somebody needs like principles like nate is

[00:27:51] following with the program right and now you know you've used the show to develop these

[00:27:56] incredible relationships that can exponentially you know help the business and your family

[00:28:01] and yourself but here's what's super interesting to me apart from obviously producing it consistently

[00:28:07] right i think you're an episode 54 58 incredible yeah and it's the fact that you have this very

[00:28:13] unique uh concept of show which a lot of people struggle to do that a lot of people

[00:28:19] try to model it after maybe one show that they really admire or they stay within like

[00:28:23] this like little thing that that they think it works because of ex-influencers doing it

[00:28:28] right share a little about the show and what you guys are doing today on what like why are these

[00:28:34] big names coming to you be like i really want to be in this versus 100 other requests that

[00:28:38] they get it's kind of amazing but like steve larson said that it was out of hundreds and

[00:28:45] hundreds of interviews it was one of his favorites that's awesome it's still bel allen

[00:28:50] and he loved it everybody that has come on even akbar chic was like hey you're really good at

[00:28:56] this and i'm like uh i am you know like i guess so yeah and uh you know katie ridgerson who i

[00:29:03] know you're coaching with and everything she was on and i've got like uh friday i've got um

[00:29:10] christine morel is coming on i've got um you know a long list of people that are are lined

[00:29:16] up and the way the show what we talk about is what were you doing when you were a kid

[00:29:24] and a teenager i'm finding that people were getting kicked out of school like brian delaney

[00:29:30] his whole path changed because he was selling stuff at school and in had to you know he sort

[00:29:37] of got kicked out and had to to make a plan b yeah and a lot of these people are even

[00:29:42] even like me apollos was selling stuff at a young age at school getting in trouble

[00:29:47] and we're seeing like what were the things that these extremely successful entrepreneurs

[00:29:52] were doing when they were kids what you know what's their backstory when did they have

[00:29:56] their aha to realize like okay college and working 40 45 years of my life is not for me

[00:30:02] like when did they find out and what was that all about and then now if you have kids

[00:30:07] what are you doing with kids your kids what are you doing but recently it's taken a turn

[00:30:14] for the better actually which is something i wasn't really expecting and it kind of when

[00:30:19] you when you throw yourself out there things can evolve and things can change so now what i'm

[00:30:23] doing is we had bill alan on so it's the prodigy kid podcast we have the ultimate lemonade

[00:30:28] stand program um there's there's our stuff that of course we would like to be successful

[00:30:34] but at this point it doesn't even matter to me because what i'm seeing is an even bigger picture

[00:30:39] so bill alan has a program called teenage tycoon katie richardson is coming out with a program

[00:30:45] her husband are creating a program um we have um steve larson he's got the concept for

[00:30:51] capitalist piggies has written a book for kids that he's working on getting published

[00:30:58] and um the uh i i interviewed another girl that her and her son are doing like

[00:31:04] roadside peach stands and that is something you know aimed at families and in kids as well

[00:31:10] and all these people um like me apollos she's got something angled towards kids we've got

[00:31:15] stephanie double play coming on and she's got a podcast that's aimed at families and kids and

[00:31:20] i was like we need i need to dare these people like they're already doing it bill

[00:31:25] alan's already do it katie's already doing these people are already doing it so i had nikeo sai on

[00:31:30] yesterday or friday and i and i dared him i said look at year 23 you're the youngest 2 ccc um

[00:31:39] winner you're you're you're having this extreme success at a young age and you have

[00:31:45] these resources and this knowledge and this these abilities what are you going to create

[00:31:49] for kids let's do this let's change the the dynamic everything so everybody my my main

[00:31:55] purpose with the podcast now is to of course we want to get people on and share their story

[00:32:00] and whatever but no i want to dare people to become our competitors and blow us out of the

[00:32:07] water because i'm on fire and i'm not stopping like i this is my you know i feel like you

[00:32:11] know they say you're born again christian or whatever i don't really don't go to church but

[00:32:14] i'm a big believer but it's like i realize that since i almost died and have that miracle healing

[00:32:21] like i'm on a mission and i'm not going to stop and um to be able to influence these people

[00:32:28] that have influence that they have resources they have abilities to figure out what can they do

[00:32:36] to throw that all those resources at kids not only their kids don't think about just your kids

[00:32:44] raise your kids create something that for their kids but what can you do for humanity as a whole

[00:32:50] because once you get enough once you get a hundred million dollars or even some people

[00:32:54] ten million dollars is good and you have the abilities why are you not trying to figure out

[00:33:00] something for kids yeah so that's my newest angle and what i'm doing that's it so good

[00:33:08] i love it it reminds me in a way of um elon musk right his kids he didn't want them to take him

[00:33:15] into conventional public school so he created kind of like a school of his own for his kids

[00:33:21] and now they kind of like replicated that system and i think it's called synergy

[00:33:25] something like that i don't remember but it's uh it's all online now they created an online

[00:33:31] kind of like school system a different type of school system for kids and it's all online i

[00:33:36] think it's called synergy i was trying to look it up in here so i can't remember the name right

[00:33:40] now but dude i love it and i love the fact that you're inspiring people to to go and you know

[00:33:47] teach other kids it's like hey it's about it's not just about the business i'm making money

[00:33:52] it's about you know a greater generation and putting your message out there and helping

[00:33:57] you know the children rise up and have a better future which is it's a great mission

[00:34:02] yeah yeah i'm very excited inspired uh by you and uh thank you for

[00:34:10] for putting all this together man and uh obviously you know with the with the show and like

[00:34:15] the angle and the relationships that you're able to build you're able to create like

[00:34:18] that environment not only you know here but also at every single event that you go to

[00:34:23] i i want to ask you specifically on events like you go to a lot of events right and

[00:34:30] you take nate with you man which is incredible right uh why why that i mean i have the answer

[00:34:36] for us but i'm i'm very curious like for you you make a lot of you know it's an investment

[00:34:41] it's a sacrifice of time of attention and you know why do you go to in-person events

[00:34:48] you know networking is is the biggest part of it because a lot of times you

[00:34:52] you hear the same information the same stories whatever and there are ahas and good things

[00:34:58] you get from it but it's of course you know to be able to meet people into network but

[00:35:04] for me personally it's to have nate around those people and to be able to see the big

[00:35:08] picture so that's you know my my whole thing yeah that's so good yeah funzy do you have

[00:35:13] anything else um parentheses the school that elon musk created is called synthesis

[00:35:20] that might be interesting to look it up i think it's pretty awesome uh dude maybe you might

[00:35:24] be the jackson billie el musk who knows you know creating stuff for for children absolutely

[00:35:29] love it but no no on a more serious note thank you i think it's great what you're doing um i

[00:35:35] love the project i love your relationship with your kid i think it's absolutely amazing um

[00:35:41] i'm not a dad but i you know when i become a dad i wish to follow those footsteps you
