Speaker 1: Please welcome to money making Conversation, Tom buill you what
Speaker 1: is up? My friend? My friend, my friend? How are
Speaker 1: you doing now? Where you're right now? Tom l okay
Speaker 1: l ah. That's why I went to do my interview,
Speaker 1: and now you're let's talk about the show Impact Theory
Speaker 1: that I've recently done before. Let's let's get that out
Speaker 1: of the way. Because because I did the show and
Speaker 1: immediately my Lincoln account blew up. I just started. I
Speaker 1: looked at my lincd Acount had like thirty five people
Speaker 1: immediately started following me after they saw the show, and
Speaker 1: he started following me. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I went to the YouTube account and I saw these likes,
Speaker 1: every likes about the comments about you, about me, about
Speaker 1: life changing experiences. Tell me about impact theory and the
Speaker 1: brain child there. This is this is an evolution between
Speaker 1: you and your wife. Correct, Yes, very much so. And
Speaker 1: it started because we had fourteen hundred employees and I
Speaker 1: really wanted to give them something that they could take,
Speaker 1: whether they were working for me or somebody else. Um.
Speaker 1: And that was the mindset that took me from scrounging
Speaker 1: in my couch cushions to find enough changed with gas
Speaker 1: in my car. The true story to building a billion
Speaker 1: dollar business, and you know, it really was, uh, just
Speaker 1: a mindset shift, and it was learning a set of
Speaker 1: beliefs that would allow me to be successful, that would
Speaker 1: allow me to translate my potential into actual ability. And
Speaker 1: so I wanted to give that to them, and so
Speaker 1: we created the show, and it was all about bringing
Speaker 1: on people like you that have been tremendously successful and
Speaker 1: to show them that they're essentially universal principles of success
Speaker 1: that they've been hearing me say all these things. But
Speaker 1: it's one thing to hear from one person, it's another
Speaker 1: to hear from you know, dozens and dozens and dozens.
Speaker 1: So um, that was the genesis of the idea and
Speaker 1: my whole mission in life. The thing that I am
Speaker 1: absolutely put on this earth to do is to in
Speaker 1: my words, pull people out of the matrix, so to
Speaker 1: set another way, to give them an empowering belief system.
Speaker 1: And I think that most people are held back by
Speaker 1: a set of limiting beliefs. They don't even realize we're choices.
Speaker 1: They just think that their truth and the reality is
Speaker 1: people confuse their massive biases truth and because of that,
Speaker 1: people don't even try to do things that they would
Speaker 1: otherwise be completely capable of learning. UM. And so that's
Speaker 1: my mission, man, is to through media, through both fiction
Speaker 1: and nonfiction, give people that set of beliefs. And that's
Speaker 1: that's really you know, some my when you talk about
Speaker 1: people as fear, isn't it though, fear stops people. Fear
Speaker 1: of change, fear of failure, fear of somebody criticizing them
Speaker 1: for making that change and it fails. Those are some
Speaker 1: of the things that blocks block people from being successful,
Speaker 1: no question. And when you when I talk about beliefs,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about those things that lead people to be afraid,
Speaker 1: such as failing means and they fail your that you know,
Speaker 1: the things that I've done up to this point in
Speaker 1: my life determined what I'm capable of in the future,
Speaker 1: and that fills them with fear. And so, like you're
Speaker 1: saying that, the way that all of that stuff manifests
Speaker 1: is a neurochemical reaction which makes your heart race, which
Speaker 1: makes your palm sweat, which makes you convinced that if
Speaker 1: you do this and mess up, that it's going to
Speaker 1: destroy your life. And because people get caught in that
Speaker 1: your trap. They don't ever find out what they're actually
Speaker 1: capable of doing. And so what I want to do
Speaker 1: is get rid of that fear by attacking the underlying
Speaker 1: beliefs that feed into that fear. Okay, let's back up
Speaker 1: a little bit. I had to start out. I mentioned
Speaker 1: the impact theory because that's the show I recently appeared
Speaker 1: on where he hosts as a weekly show appears on
Speaker 1: his YouTube channel. You can go back and you can
Speaker 1: go there by the way and subscribe to the channel,
Speaker 1: and every time he has a new episode, they will
Speaker 1: flag you or sent you a notification to UM to
Speaker 1: watch the new episode, and you can also watch the
Speaker 1: past episodes. UM. It all started, like you said, you know,
Speaker 1: use grounge for money on your couch and took us
Speaker 1: back to that moment, because that that that that's a
Speaker 1: moment where you overcame fears were you you had to
Speaker 1: convince people to believe in your vision and we're talked
Speaker 1: about turning the idea into a billion dollar company. Took
Speaker 1: us to that moment and that short journey I say
Speaker 1: short because of the fact that we don't have a
Speaker 1: few minutes on this radio show to communicate it, so
Speaker 1: we'll sound shot, but but tell us about that start
Speaker 1: and then some of the humps and the bumps of
Speaker 1: their journey. Yeah, for sure. So I went to film school.
Speaker 1: Wanted to be a filmmaker, one who told great stories.
Speaker 1: I had no idea how to break into the industry.
Speaker 1: This is back in the nineties. There was no YouTube,
Speaker 1: there was no shortcut. So I I didn't have money,
Speaker 1: you know, in a family that teetered between blue collar
Speaker 1: and white collars. So I don't know how to read
Speaker 1: you a hundred dollars dollars that might as well have
Speaker 1: been a hundred million dollars. Had no idea how to
Speaker 1: do it. And I met this two entrepreneurs and they said, look,
Speaker 1: if you want to control the art, you got to
Speaker 1: control the resources. Us get rich and then you can
Speaker 1: build your own studio. And I was just young enough
Speaker 1: and just not even enough to say cool, Yeah, let's right.
Speaker 1: I thought it would take eighteen months. Sadly it did
Speaker 1: not quite work out like that, but it did teach
Speaker 1: me that anyone could become an entrepreneur. I didn't have
Speaker 1: to be born an entrepreneur, and there was a huge thing.
Speaker 1: So I'm not a born entrepreneur at all. Like I was,
Speaker 1: I had a paper out. I was too scared to
Speaker 1: go knock on the doors to collect the money, so
Speaker 1: I was delivering the papers for half the money that
Speaker 1: I could have been. I mean, just like I have
Speaker 1: no entrepreneurial instincts, and being in a business and having
Speaker 1: the opportunity to just through sweat equity get better and
Speaker 1: pour myself in and out work everybody and really grind
Speaker 1: it out, I began to get good at business. And
Speaker 1: so I ultimately realized, what are the you know, beliefs
Speaker 1: and things that you need to have to not be
Speaker 1: paralyzed by furiously and go out and execute. It's really
Speaker 1: about skills. So I needed to be good at marketing.
Speaker 1: I had to learn that that was the skills that
Speaker 1: I thought that I could really get extraordinary at. And
Speaker 1: so I poured myself into that. And the most important
Speaker 1: thing on my journey that I learned to keep this
Speaker 1: nice and brief without what I built my self esteem
Speaker 1: around mattered, and it mattered a lot. So instead of
Speaker 1: arguing for dumb ideas just because they were mine and
Speaker 1: it made me feel good or smart, I needed to
Speaker 1: always be a learner and if I could always be
Speaker 1: a learner and take pride in being willing to admit
Speaker 1: when I was wrong and to learn what the right
Speaker 1: answer really was, to admit that I'm not yet good enough,
Speaker 1: and to sit at somebody's feet and learned from them humility,
Speaker 1: to really be hungry for the knowledge instead of hungry
Speaker 1: for the praise. Then I could really become something. And
Speaker 1: so that notion of becoming something instead of trying to
Speaker 1: think I'm cool, now that I could become someone cool
Speaker 1: in the future. That changed my life. And so I
Speaker 1: just began acquiring skills relentlessly that had, you know, use
Speaker 1: in a business, and so made me a better businessman,
Speaker 1: made me a better leader, a better marketer, better at
Speaker 1: conceptualizing products, all of it. And so that was how
Speaker 1: I took myself from you know, knowing nothing about business, uh,
Speaker 1: to running a in all the company. Now, let's talk
Speaker 1: about the products. How do you how do you you
Speaker 1: know these products? The whole thing is about making products
Speaker 1: that that is healthy but taste good and enjoyable. Because
Speaker 1: when you go there, he gives you this giant gift basket,
Speaker 1: and I mean it's giant. They got all kind of
Speaker 1: products in there and believe me. Your boar aid it
Speaker 1: all the way to the airport, you know, because you know,
Speaker 1: you get in the l a you don't have time
Speaker 1: to stop. So I looked at that, saw that basket,
Speaker 1: that went okay, let me just start grabbing things. And
Speaker 1: it was really good. It was really so. So that
Speaker 1: was the mindset to That was the marketing angle. Look
Speaker 1: at this is good, but it's healthy, but it's gonna
Speaker 1: taste good because it's like a lot of stuff that
Speaker 1: is healthy. People run from it because I can't stand
Speaker 1: that taste. I'd rather say chubby. I'd rather die early.
Speaker 1: But you said, look this is good for you, but
Speaker 1: it also you're gonna enjoy the taste. That was the
Speaker 1: slogan or that was the angle of the approach and
Speaker 1: developing the brand. Yeah, for sure. So our thing was
Speaker 1: far better to leverage behavior than to try to change.
Speaker 1: You can say that one with I'm gonna be like
Speaker 1: a church, I'm being a church, say that one with tapped.
Speaker 1: It's better to leverage behavior than to try to change it.
Speaker 1: So people are a certain way. People are going to
Speaker 1: eat food that tastes good whether it kills them or not.
Speaker 1: They don't care like it's just so good. So we thought, okay,
Speaker 1: well people are gonna do that anyway. Could we take
Speaker 1: that food that people want to eat and make it
Speaker 1: healthy for them, because if we could do that, then
Speaker 1: we could really change the lives. Okay, you're talking to
Speaker 1: the guy, the guy Christian Cream app. You know, I
Speaker 1: go to five Guys, get the five guys super fries.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, I get to I get the
Speaker 1: I get the fat burger with the double king with
Speaker 1: the cheese. And you know, I'm just saying, I'm one
Speaker 1: of those guys. So so I'm in the car and
Speaker 1: I see Quest over there. You know, I thought about
Speaker 1: that looks too. It looks it looks healthy. That looks
Speaker 1: like something that and I grab one of because it
Speaker 1: looks like you know, those those that packaging, you know
Speaker 1: that that that that tastes you eat it, but they
Speaker 1: will be right for you. Boy one two three. I
Speaker 1: was so happy. In fact, if you go to my
Speaker 1: house right now, sir, I do have it in my cabinets. Sir,
Speaker 1: you have made me a new healthy nutrition and my
Speaker 1: my staff all knows me. I I am a banana
Speaker 1: split guy, Tom, I am a guy who will eat uh, shake,
Speaker 1: Uh to shake I my dessert before I eat my meals.
Speaker 1: So I am that guy. I'm that guy. You go okay,
Speaker 1: but you didn't look like you do stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Yes I do, sir, Yes I do. I am a
Speaker 1: a wacky eater. But it was great that you created
Speaker 1: a product that that slowed me down but allowed me
Speaker 1: to have the taste that I want, the sweech that
Speaker 1: I want to kind of want and all that good
Speaker 1: stuff and come here to you turned the guy like
Speaker 1: me and I'm your customer that you were trying to reach. Correct. Man,
Speaker 1: I love that. I'm telling man, you know, it's really amazing. Um.
Speaker 1: When I when I look at you and I communicate
Speaker 1: because we know we don't know each other, start walk
Speaker 1: in the room and studio studio in his home. Um,
Speaker 1: so the conference zone so quick that he sets up
Speaker 1: for you and uh, we're gonna go in more detailed
Speaker 1: more the next break. But I've been told this, that's
Speaker 1: the best interview I've ever had in my life. I've
Speaker 1: been told that this guy is a gift. You know,
Speaker 1: you should keep him in your life because he does
Speaker 1: his homework. And and for the first time I sat
Speaker 1: down in a room where I felt I wasn't the
Speaker 1: smartest guy in the room. That's Tom. Wow. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: honored by your Your audience knows this already, But dude,
Speaker 1: you're You're incredible and so bringing people life you onto
Speaker 1: the show is such a gift from me to be
Speaker 1: able to do the research and to spend time getting
Speaker 1: inside your mindset and learning from you. Um. And you know,
Speaker 1: the show really is an extension of that, my whole
Speaker 1: belief of with humility to sit at somebody's feet and learn. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, that's why that show is is I think
Speaker 1: touching people in the way that does because extraordinary people
Speaker 1: like you are willing to come on to share. Thank you,
Speaker 1: really really by Tom, We're gonna we're gonna hold that thought.
Speaker 1: We're gonna come right back and wrap up this interview
Speaker 1: because I want to ask you about my your favorite guests. Man,
Speaker 1: Because I saw this list, I went both I was,
Speaker 1: I was in the chair of Champions. Be right back
Speaker 1: with more money making conversations. Hi, just with Sean McDonald.
Speaker 1: You're listening to money making conversations. I developed this show
Speaker 1: because I wanted to reach young people. I get tired
Speaker 1: of people complaining about the millennial generation. I heard a
Speaker 1: guy complaining about the millenial generation. They don't save eighty four.
Speaker 1: They don't say, I don't trying to remember was I saving?
Speaker 1: At thirty? Was I saving? So I'm sick of the
Speaker 1: criticism that's being thrown at this age group because they've
Speaker 1: made a decision that they want to be entrepreneurs. But
Speaker 1: isn't every generation a generation of change? Is it? Do? Do? Do?
Speaker 1: I want this generation to think like I was thinking
Speaker 1: that a company is gonna be out there, it's gonna
Speaker 1: get me a gold watch at the end of the line. No,
Speaker 1: that's to change. And the gentleman I have on the
Speaker 1: line here is about change. He's about showing you steps
Speaker 1: along the way that can change your life. You know.
Speaker 1: I call him a kindred spirit because that's what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to do. He's way ahead of me right now,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna catch up. I'm like one of these
Speaker 1: guys coming down the hill on the bike with no brakes.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna catch him. But guess what, I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to patch with pass him. I'm just trying to hang
Speaker 1: with him. Because if we continue in this direction, then
Speaker 1: those those arguments of Why are you thinking this way?
Speaker 1: Why are you trying to accomplish? These goals will be
Speaker 1: resolved because we have to change. Technology forces us to change,
Speaker 1: and so impact theory is built that way. Tom, you
Speaker 1: created Your wife is the executive to do so. I've
Speaker 1: met her and uh it's a family operation. Man. That
Speaker 1: uh puts a smile on your face. Because when I
Speaker 1: read the read I'll read these comments. Man, you gotta
Speaker 1: go to his channel and just start reading comments. If
Speaker 1: you don't believe, if you don't believe the videos, just
Speaker 1: read the comments about what he's trying to do. This
Speaker 1: is coming out of his pocket, This is changed he's
Speaker 1: trying to create there. I know, if you go to
Speaker 1: any corporation like that, it's really interesting. You know, like
Speaker 1: home Depot they have their own channel, and so the
Speaker 1: CEO of home Depot or four, they come out and
Speaker 1: they're talk to their employees pretty dry, pretty dry. He said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take it to the next level. And now
Speaker 1: he's removed that. Now he's taking it to the world.
Speaker 1: So when you look at me talk about impact theory,
Speaker 1: how does that make you feel? Tom? Amazing? Man, really
Speaker 1: really amazing. First of all, you're just insanely kind and
Speaker 1: generous with your praise. You're trying beyond grateful for uh.
Speaker 1: And then yeah, you you really understand what we're trying
Speaker 1: to do, and you know, wanting to touch people's lives.
Speaker 1: And when you figure something out that allows you to
Speaker 1: do more in your life, you've got to options. You
Speaker 1: can keep it a secret, or you can tell as
Speaker 1: many people listen because it's brought so much joy and
Speaker 1: fulfillment to you and your family, and you just want
Speaker 1: to see other people sharing that. And I fall into
Speaker 1: that ladder camp. Man. I just really wanna help as
Speaker 1: many people as I can. And even if that means
Speaker 1: that I make competitors for me, I'm okay with that. Man, Like,
Speaker 1: I just want to really really help, and I want
Speaker 1: to see other people play at an extraordinary level and
Speaker 1: to make dreams come true in their life. And and
Speaker 1: that drives me and that's it, and you know that's
Speaker 1: what amped me up to get up and and fight
Speaker 1: every day. And yeah, so I love it, and I
Speaker 1: love hearing how much you understood that, because I don't
Speaker 1: just feel good about what we're putting out there. When
Speaker 1: I said, because you know, when they scheduled the interview.
Speaker 1: They said, uh or something like that. I must I
Speaker 1: was in there for an hour or something like, just talking,
Speaker 1: just talking to him. He just asked, course, I was
Speaker 1: just talking and now because I was running late for
Speaker 1: the interview, and I didn't know it because he made
Speaker 1: me so relaxed, and he told my story and it
Speaker 1: was so much trying to tell my story, but he
Speaker 1: felt that my story was useful. It was information that
Speaker 1: it had to get out this journey of you know, everybody,
Speaker 1: everybody says that they always hear that Inn story, that
Speaker 1: Inch story. You go to Hollywood, and you know, you
Speaker 1: become Michael J. Fox. You go to Hollywood, you become
Speaker 1: Denzel Washington. Okay, Denzel did something before he came to
Speaker 1: Denzel Washington. You know that's Brad the Cooper did something before.
Speaker 1: So what he did with me, he said, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go all the way back to that two bedroom shotgun
Speaker 1: house with those six sisters, those two brothers, and those
Speaker 1: two parents. Your dad was a truck driver, your mom
Speaker 1: just got out of high school. That's where we're gonna
Speaker 1: start this story. And that's what he did. And he
Speaker 1: allowed me to tell that story because he understood that
Speaker 1: if you miss steps, then people can jump out there
Speaker 1: assuming that you don't have to work hard that you
Speaker 1: assuming that you don't have to that you won't make mistakes,
Speaker 1: assuming that if you pray, or you jump out there
Speaker 1: on faith, or you flip a going or you know somebody,
Speaker 1: or you get a hook up, that's how it works.
Speaker 1: It does not work that way, and that's what this
Speaker 1: show is all about. And that's why I'm just fortunate
Speaker 1: to have you on my show just to just to uh,
Speaker 1: just to say that this relationship is real. And then
Speaker 1: what you're trying to do is just not limited information
Speaker 1: that you just do on your show. You're not selfish,
Speaker 1: you know, like some people to do a show, now
Speaker 1: I gotta come on my show. I would do outside interviews, no,
Speaker 1: you know, my show trying to tell your story to
Speaker 1: be let people know, Hey, this is what I do
Speaker 1: and I've been doing it before I started talking to
Speaker 1: you with Sean. Is that correct sir? Yeah? Man, being
Speaker 1: able to take people through the hard times, the failures
Speaker 1: to growth so that they really understand that they're probably
Speaker 1: in that phase of their own development right now. It
Speaker 1: knows that that can still add up to something extraordinary,
Speaker 1: like like you said, like, story after story after story
Speaker 1: is everybody went to those hard times, everybody embarrassing selves
Speaker 1: and fell on their face. So as they're going through
Speaker 1: it doesn't preclude them from becoming equally amazing. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm inspired by that man, like hearing your story
Speaker 1: about where you started and you know you will really
Speaker 1: really here. Let's talk about some of the guests. Okay,
Speaker 1: I was fortunate to be on the show. Michael Strahan,
Speaker 1: Good Morning America, Hall of famer went to school Texas
Speaker 1: Southern University, small black HBCU school and became a draft
Speaker 1: pick of the New York Giants and now he's a
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame player. One of the hosts. There's a
Speaker 1: third hour on Good Morning America. And then you have
Speaker 1: a Tony Hawk. Everybody knows Tony Hawk, Sean White, Olympic
Speaker 1: star carry Walks Jennings volleyball? Does she does? She ever
Speaker 1: stopped playing volleyball? That's all I want to know. Um,
Speaker 1: this is my favorite inventor, Dean I believe it. Want
Speaker 1: to say his name right, Caman? Is that right? Caman? Yeah?
Speaker 1: That man invented the segue. Please tell me about that
Speaker 1: in of you, sir, that guy right there. If anybody
Speaker 1: want to know something about just a regular dude that
Speaker 1: can walk into look like he eating cheetos, but straight
Speaker 1: brilliant is Dean Cayman. You gotta tell about that interview man.
Speaker 1: This guy here creates a segue. You just need to
Speaker 1: look his name up because he's doing more than that now.
Speaker 1: But he he's about to stamp program. He's about girls
Speaker 1: come to the forefront of science. This guy is a
Speaker 1: is a Jewish guy, intelligent but very likable and spending
Speaker 1: his own money and giving back in the community at
Speaker 1: a higher rate. And so interviewing somebody like that, how
Speaker 1: do you connect the dots with somebody like that, Tom.
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting even a guy like that who
Speaker 1: truly is just off the charts intelligence. When you go
Speaker 1: back and piece the story together, it's it's such a
Speaker 1: classic case of I was young, nobody took me seriously,
Speaker 1: nobody believed in me, and so I had to believe
Speaker 1: in myself. And I loved it, and so I stayed
Speaker 1: with it even when I was getting kicked in the face.
Speaker 1: And you know, like any inventor, it starts with there's
Speaker 1: a need somewhere. And so his brother was in medical
Speaker 1: school and the needles that were available for diabetics were
Speaker 1: just atrocious, and so he literally just created a smaller,
Speaker 1: better needle that was less painful, easier to home, to
Speaker 1: be self administered. And that was the start of it.
Speaker 1: And just like sixteen or something, and so but he
Speaker 1: saw a need any medic, you know. And that's one
Speaker 1: of those things that like getting everybody to understand. But
Speaker 1: Dean is like he's one of those guests that like
Speaker 1: it's easy to dismiss them because he's so brilliant. Someone
Speaker 1: like David Goggins, Now that's somebody that I think your
Speaker 1: audience would absolutely love and maybe my favorite interview other
Speaker 1: than you, of course at all time, like this guy,
Speaker 1: this guy was amazing. He believed that he was the
Speaker 1: weakest man that God had ever created, and he was
Speaker 1: so embarrassed to be that week and he grew up
Speaker 1: black kid, like something like thirty minutes away from the
Speaker 1: headquarters of the states Um chapter of the KKK, And
Speaker 1: so they used the spray paint racist slurs on his car.
Speaker 1: They used to bully him, and he just backed down
Speaker 1: and really felt badly about himself. And so he said
Speaker 1: one day he was so fed up of looking himself
Speaker 1: in the face in the mirror that he realized he
Speaker 1: had to change. And so if he was made the
Speaker 1: weakest man God had ever created, he was going to
Speaker 1: become the toughest men alive. And he set out to
Speaker 1: do every tough thing you can imagine, including joining the
Speaker 1: Navy Seals, which he had to do three times because
Speaker 1: he kept breaking bones doing their Finally he makes it
Speaker 1: through auto broken leg like it's his story is so
Speaker 1: crazy about developing not being born with but about developing
Speaker 1: mental toughness. It's unlike anything I've ever seen. And then
Speaker 1: he goes on to be one of the most extraordinary
Speaker 1: ultra and durance athletes ever after serving in Afghanistan. I mean,
Speaker 1: just unbelievably great story. So yeah, I highly encourage people

Speaker 1: he saw the link. He win, did you see this link?
