=== SUMMARY ===
Today’s guest who—despite not actually being born in America—knows just how lucky he is to be here.
His name?
Gary Vaynerchuk, and he’s a Making Bank veteran.
In case you’re unaware, Gary happens to be one of the most well-respected and highly sought-after marketers on the planet.
His gift isn’t funnel-building or an exceptionally high IQ, it’s knowing where consumer attention is going next (is it any wonder why he’s an investor in Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Uber and Venmo?), and he’s used that gift to build out a small media empire.
A self-described “day-trader” of consumer attention, Gary’s operating philosophy for business is “make money by doing what you love.” In his case, that love is marketing, but in your case, it could be anything—even working a regular nine-to-five earning $40,000 a year. As Gary sees it, if you can make a living by doing that which you love, you’ve won the game of life no matter how much you earn in a year.
Join Making Bank host Josh Felber, as he sits down with Gary to talk marketing, parenting, and Gary’s latest book #AskGaryVee. Listen as their conversation pivots back and forth on a number of interesting topics including…
- The importance of taking care of yourself before anyone else
- Building an empire on the back of good
- The marketing medium that has a stranglehold on America
- Life’s purpose
- Determining where consumer attention is underpriced
- The difficulty of balance
…And more!

=== SUMMARY ===
Go back to your teenage years.
You are a student in high school, working hard to get good grades, graduate, and still maintain some semblance of a social life.
Picture yourself sitting in class at the conclusion of a long, hot and humid spring day, getting ready for the brassy overture of the final bell knowing that with its ear-splitting ring your REAL day begins.
When all of your friends and classmates head home for the day, you’re going to head to a greasy, steamy restaurant to wait tables for seven or eight hours, working yourself to exhaustion.
How would you handle an utterly daunting workload like that? More importantly, what lesson would you extract from such a labor-intensive experience?
If you’re anything like today’s guest, you’d learn a lot.
Meet Mike Dillard, father, entrepreneur, investor, author, and self-described “freedom fighter” who approaches life with the belief that anyone can accomplish anything if they develop and apply the appropriate skills.
Using his time waiting tables at the original Romano’s Macaroni Grill as a sparkplug for entrepreneurial learning, Mike came to understand professional success isn’t rooted in hard-work, it’s rooted in smart-work—the kind that earns more money through means of continually-reduced effort.
Mike used this understanding to build a successful business teaching small business owners how to effectively market themselves online using “attraction-marketing”—a business that would be worth more than 7-figures by the time he turned 27.
In 2010, he founded a financial education company in order to teach others how to achieve financial freedom through investment strategies commonly reserved for the wealthy.
Today, Mike’s businesses have produced more than $50 million dollars in revenue—all of it with $0 of outside funding—and his latest venture into aeroponics is positioned to be his most impactful and lucrative entrepreneurial effort yet.
Learn more about Mike during today’s episode of Making Bank, where he’ll discuss everything above, as well as…
- How to become the hunted instead of the hunter
- What to actually do when you achieve monetary success
- Why the “opportunity” is NOT “the opportunity”
- The critical importance of skill mastery and mentorship
- How to properly apply the hours of the day
- Why success isn’t derived from how hard you work, it’s derived from where you apply the work
…And much, much more, including the best advice he’s ever received.

A Life of Amplified Experience with Guest Keith Yackey: MakingBank S1E56

=== SUMMARY ===
Almost a year ago, real estate investor Keith Yackey, founder of Private Money Pro, joined host Josh Felber on Making Bank to talk about real estate—how to invest in it, how to generate additional revenue from it, and how to grow as an entrepreneur involved in it.
Today, Keith is back on Making Bank, but he’s not back to discuss real estate—he’s here to talk about living a life of no regrets.
What he calls, a life of Amplified Experience.
When Keith lost his mother, he used it as melancholic inspiration to stop living life constrained by fear, and within 15-months, he built an 8-figure real estate investment company.
Letting go of fear transformed Keith’s life. It led to fiscal freedom and wealth beyond his wildest dreams. But in spite of his rampant and rapid success, Keith found himself unfulfilled. He was successful, but he wasn’t happy, and success without joy—as Keith likes to say—is failure.
Realizing success had brought freedom but not purpose, he stepped back from his incredibly-lucrative real-estate investment business to focus on finding his passion, his mission, and his message.
Intense introspection led Keith to discover his true calling, a calling that could afford him with both freedom and purpose:
Helping people
Specifically, helping success-seeking individuals overcome their fear of chasing an idea and staring a business.
To that end, Keith started the Amplify Live Experience, a four-day annual event dedicated to helping people learn from AMAZING experts, engage with inspiring audiences, and learn how to act on dreams, passions, and aspirations.
In this episode of Making Bank, Keith will walk the audience through his journey of self-discovery, and demonstrate his readily-adaptable framework for living a life of successful fulfillment.
Keith will also discuss…
- The Amplify Live Experience
- How anyone can make money online
- The difference between asking “what’s my purpose” and living on-purpose
- How to find, and then fine-tune, your message and meaning
- Why authenticity—as opposed to polish—is the true key to making money
- The FFAST Framework
- Why joint-ventures, partners, and networks are the key growth
…And much, much more!

Going Digital with Guests Jorge Granier and Rich Hull: MakingBank S1E55

=== SUMMARY ===
The identity of America is changing, and changing rapidly. The country is becoming an increasingly beautiful mosaic of different cultures, ethnicities, languages, religions, and experiential backgrounds. And one of the most prominent and explosively-growing components of that mosaic is the Latino community—a community that is on-pace to make up more than 20% of the overall US population in the next couple of years.
Yet, the size, scope, and reach of this growing group has been largely ignored by one of America’s most prominent and profitable industries:
Entertainment
Right now, there is a Grand Canyon-sized gap between consumer demand for, and market supply of, Latino-centric entertainment.
Yes, there are few channels on TV like Univision and Telemundo, but they’re only taking a small sliver of the entertainment profit pie. Most of it continues to go uneaten.
Fortunately, that’s about to change thanks to the focused efforts of two successful entertainment entrepreneur-investors, Mr. Rich Hull and Mr. Jorge Granier. Their company PONGALO—a digital media company based in the US—owns one of the largest libraries of Spanish-language content in the world. And that library is slowly but surely being made available to Spanish-speaking Americans through PONGALO’s modestly-priced subscription based model.
Though it may not be entirely accurate to call PONGALO the “Spanish-speaker’s Netflix” right now, the reality is PONGALO could become a similar digital media juggernaut over the coming decade, particularly as the US-based Spanish-speaking audience continues to grow.
Remember—mobile device ownership and mobile media consumption is MASSIVE in the Latino community (in fact, no other cultural demographic owns as many mobile devices). Coupled with mobile media consumption’s unwavering rise in the general US population, and it’s reasonable to assume PONGALO’s industry footprint will become increasingly massive.
So, with all of that said, join host Josh Felber on today’s episode of Making Bank, as he sits down with both Rich and Jorge to discuss their respective media backgrounds, their interest in catering digital media to the Spanish-speaking community, their vision for future development of PONGALO, and much, MUCH more, including…
•Why TV—like radio—will never die
•How, when, and where Millenials like to consume media
•The defining characteristic of new-age media
•Why pigeon-holing (left unchecked) can destroy your potential
•The fragility of free-speech

=== SUMMARY ===
There is something to be said for having to grow up fast.
For being married at the age of 18, the father of two by the age of 20, and suddenly realizing what it’s like to have the same needs as the typical 40-year old adult before being able to legally buy a beer.
It forces you to either get tough, get savvy, or some combination thereof.
And as it pertains to today’s guest, it was definitely some combination thereof.
This is Jay Abraham, a man who used hunger, necessity, and—in some cases—flat-out desperation to become one of the world’s foremost business authors, entrepreneurial experts, and a trusted confidant to some of the most prominent brands (and executives) on the planet.
As the Founder and CEO of Abraham Group, Inc., Jay solves problems, fixes businesses, and increases bottom lines. To date, Jay has helped more than 10,000 clients, across 400 industries worldwide by studying their problems and offering paradigm-shifting solutions.
Jay’s “funnel vision versus tunnel vision” concept—which is about borrowing high-value ideas from one industry and applying them to another in a strategic way—is his pièce de résistance, and the single-most valuable practice he has applied to help his clients for more than 30 years.
Today, Jay is widely-recognized as one of the world’s Top 10 marketing minds, as well as a true innovator of revenue model and business model generation. That expertise is largely the reason he has been featured in countless publications including, the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, and USA Today.
So, with all of that said, join host Josh Felber, on this week’s episode of Making Bank, to hear Jay’s remarkable story of success first-hand, and better understand some of his critical business insights, including…
- Why “trust” is the most-valuable asset any business can have
- How to ride emotional peaks and valleys to invaluable truths
- The two distinct-types of client
- Why preeminence outweighs strategy
- The hidden value of helping employees grow
- How to have a higher love for your clients
…And much, MUCH more.

=== SUMMARY ===
Imagine being dead broke (or maybe you don’t have to imagine it because you’ve lived it).
Imagine the fear. The anxiety. The looming dread of—is this it for me as an entrepreneur?
What would you do in that situation? Would you throw in the towel, go get a “regular” job, and settle in for 40+ years of the 9 to 5 grind?
Or would you keep pushing the envelope? Keep chipping away at the idea-block until—one day—you cracked the code of success?
It might sound like a feel-good Hollywood drama, but it’s not—it’s the real-life story of serial entrepreneur Ed O’Keefe, a Southside Chicago-kid who went from worrying about his last few hundred bucks in the bank to launching multiple seven (and even eight!) figure businesses like Marine D-3 and InspiredWear.
Ed’s story is a story familiar to so many other successful entrepreneurs. A story where idea after idea fails to get off the ground, not because the ideas aren’t good, but because the idea-maker doesn’t know how to market, promote, and sell themselves.
It took Ed years of struggle to learn how to promote himself, and find his professional niche as a marketer, but since finding it he hasn’t looked back.
Today, he’s more than a super successful-entrepreneur, he’s also a business owner, business strategy coach, consultant, advisor, TV show host, author, husband, and proud father of seven.
His latest accomplishment, Time Collapsing—The New Art of Speed, Money, Power, and Meaning, is an in-depth exploration of the behind-the-scenes system, Ed has used to sell almost $100,000,000 in services, consulting, supplements, seminars, and informational products.
Sit-down and strap-in for an entertaining exchange between Ed and Making Bank host, Josh Felber, as they cover critical concepts every aspiring entrepreneur needs to know.
Concepts like…
•The value of teaching others how to make money
•Living with purposeful intent
•Why “having goals” is overvalued
•Hours worked does NOT tie into success
•The danger of getting stuck “in” problems
•Why now is the best-time EVER to become successful
…And much, MUCH more.

=== SUMMARY ===
As a successful entrepreneur, I know the importance of high-quality copywriting.
From in-store signage, to long-form sales letters, the right words delivered in the right order can transform an ice-cold prospect into a life-long customer.
Now, that might feel like an exaggeration, but any businessman (or woman) worth their salt knows exactly what I mean.
Which is why I’m so fired-up to invite one of the very best copywriters on the planet—Craig Clemens—onto today’s episode of Making Bank.
Craig, like so many other successful professionals, went to the school of hard-knocks to get his entrepreneurial education, spending years working one of the toughest, most humbling jobs on the planet—telemarketing sales.
Did he like it? Of course not. But he did it because he had bills to pay and lessons to learn.
Eventually, Craig got bored of hawking drill bits and credit cards over the phone. He hung-up his headset for good to go write copy for his longtime friend, Eban Pagan, who had been making more than $10,000 a month selling dating-advice ebooks.
In addition to the guidance he would receive from Eban, Craig meticulously studied the work of copywriting legends like Kennedy, Halbert, Hopkins, and Collier. Craig practiced and refined, practiced and refined, practiced and refined, until he became a true master of the craft.
Now Craig runs his own copywriting agency, and produces some of the most successful sales copy in digital business. In fact, over the last two years, Craig has written three of the four biggest direct to consumer campaigns on the internet, one of which reeled 33,600 new customers in just two days.
Tune in to today’s episode to hear Josh and Craig, share a number of fantastic insights, including:
- The four keys to effective copywriting.
- Why being dead broke and behind on your taxes is a bad thing—but not the worst thing.
- How to use diverse professional experiences to your entrepreneurial advantage.
- The importance of learning to get in the mindset of your customer.
- Why talking to your customer like a companion is the most effective way to form a bond.

Hustling as an Entrepreneur with Guest Clark Benson: MakingBank S1E51

=== SUMMARY ===
There is one element to the art of entrepreneurship that isn’t artistic at all…hustle.
Hustle is something that can’t be coached, refined, or enhanced—it’s bred.
You either have hustle or you don’t, and if you want to be an entrepreneur, you had better hope you’re not in the latter camp.
In the world of business and money-making, hustle will make up for just about anything.
Lack of knowledge? Absent credentials? Lousy network? Missing expertise? Low capital?
Whatever the obstacle, enough hustle can get you up and over the wall.
And it’s with the idea and importance of hustle in mind that we are excited to introduce today’s guest on Making Bank—Clark Benson—a man who’s no stranger early mornings, late nights, and 80+ hour work weeks.
Clark’s interest in entrepreneurship began to surface in his early 20s when he enrolled in the only entrepreneurship class at the University of Illinois. By 1995—at the age of 27—he was starting his first company, a music marketing business, and by 1999 he was capitalizing on the dot-com boom with an online dating business, eCrush.
When dot-coms went dot-bust in 2001, eCrush survived the collapse thanks to a heavy dose of Clark’s legendary hustle, and would later be sold in 2006 to the Hearst Corporation. Today, Clark works as the founder and CEO of Ranker, a leading digital media company that specializes in crowdsourced rankings.
Tune in to today’s episode to hear Josh and Clark, share a number of fantastic insights, including:
- How to evaluate the risks and rewards of working with a co-founder
- Why hustle is the most important ingredient for success
- What to do when timing is not in your favor
- The importance of zeroing-in when it’s time to scale
- Why business should never come at the expense of your children

How much could you and your business benefit from a learning session with someone who’s led multimillion dollar companies, directly consulted for one of the four largest wireless carriers in the United States, and helped a monarch manage their wealth?
If your answer is anything other than “a LOT,” you’re lying to yourself.
And that’s why today on Making Bank, we’re excited to welcome best-selling author, and business growth guru Cameron Herold to the program.
Cameron is the entrepreneurs’ entrepreneur. A man who earned his MBA, not in the classroom, but in the real-world, by transforming College Pro Painters into a semi-casual operation into a multi-million-dollar, nation-wide juggernaut.
Though most famous for his work as COO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? and his best-selling books Double, Double and Meetings Suck, Cameron is neither an executive nor author at heart—he is a teacher.
Someone who wants to help aspiring entrepreneurs and struggling business owners learn how to tighten up their businesses every year so they can move forward by driving long-term exponential growth.
Tune-in to today’s episode as Josh and Cameron converse on some amazing subjects, including:
- How to cultivate a winning company culture
- Why rapid growth and fiscal strength do not ensure invincibility
- Why understanding the balance sheet cannot be under-appreciated
- How to identify what’s driving the flywheel so those driving factors can be nurtured and grown
- Why you can’t build every aspect of your business
- When it pays to be the dumbest person in the room

=== SUMMARY ===
What nut are you trying to crack in your business?
When staring down the barrel of opportunity, that’s the question any entrepreneurial minded person needs to be asking.
Whether the “business” is your own venture or someone else’s, it undoubtedly has problems that need solving, and those problems are the nuts. Find a way to crack them, and the money will flow generously.
Entrepreneurs don’t avoid problems, they don’t shy away from challenges—they actively seek them out, because it’s in the problems and the challenges that the rewards lie.
Rewards like generous proposals of investment, and lucrative buy-out offers.
Entrepreneurs know the ability to ask deep, penetrating questions—questions that flag major pain-points of a company, an industry, or an individual—is far more valuable than the ability to provide quick answers.
People don’t pay for patches, they pay for long-term solutions to sources inefficiency. But before those solutions can be offered, the inefficiencies must be clearly stated in no uncertain terms.
And that’s what today’s guest on Making Bank—Brad Costanzo—is a master of.
In addition to being the founder and owner of several companies including, Bacon Wrapped Business, Costanzo Marketing, and Stiletto Coffee, Brad is the man who knows how to find a client’s true pain-point and resolve it.
As an uber-successful entrepreneur, Brad’s philosophy is simple:
Want to be successful? Change your mindset to actively seek out problems. Don’t worry about being able to solve them—you can pay someone else to do that.
Listen as Brad shares the details of his incredibly entrepreneurial journey, and offers key insights including:
- The difference between being an entrepreneur and entrepreneurial-minded
- Why failure and losing everything shouldn’t be a deterrent from getting back in the entrepreneurial game
- How to actively seek out problems rather than avoid them
- Why entrepreneurs make terrible employees
