“If you want to increase your income in 2018, you have to increase your organization and reduce laziness and procrastination.” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet) A new year means time for a new you. As 2017 comes to a close, we must take a moment to reorient our mindset before heading into the new year. What goals did we have for 2017 that we accomplished? And then what about the ones we weren’t able to? Why was this so? And how can we change our mindset so that we aren’t saying this same thing one year from now? On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we are making a call to arms: how do you get the most out of your upcoming year? Laziness, procrastination, organization, conscientiousness: these are all the things we must be most mindful of in the upcoming year. Don’t forget!

“I saw Hitler. It was outside. I thought he was crazy. The way he talked. Anyone who sees him knows he’s crazy.”(click to tweet) You can either learn history from a primary or secondary source. With a secondary source, you’ll get the distanced bullet points: what year the war started, how many people died, which political parties ruled, and all those other dry details you need for your history test. With a primary source, however, you’re able to gain direct access into the emotion of that time period. And right now, in the year 2017, the number of primary resources available for World War II is becoming increasingly smaller. On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we are fortunate to be joined by a primary source, Tai’s grandmother. At 99 years old, she has lived through multiple world wars, and today we are gathering her firsthand account of the global climate. Her wisdom and insight on political and social issues has us thinking about how to see the world in the right way. Don’t forget! You can also listen to The Tai Lopez Show on Spotify!

“Bloomberg’s been talking about how crypto’s worth nothing for the past 4 years. That’s not playing out well for them right now.” - William Duplessie(click to tweet) Bitcoin took a dip last week. But now it’s back to where it was, and the skeptics return to silence. As the market validates that cryptocurrency is here to stay, we must continue our education to stay one step ahead of the trends. On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we are joined by Dan Fleyshman, William Duplessie, and Ben Greenburg to discuss the future of cryptocurrency. Their range of expertise in the crypto world spreads from business to technology, and on today’s episode they review what coins to look out for as we approach the new year.

“I understand there’s a hierarchy. I don’t care that my mom told me I’m special. I understand that this person’s more special than me in this area, so I am going to listen to what they have to say.” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet) Becoming the best is not rocket science. If you hang around someone great and ask questions, then pretty soon you will be adopting their habits via osmosis. This is how humans learn, but the education system makes us believe learning has to involve classrooms and memorization. On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we are taking a close look at how to be great. It’s something we all want but don’t know how to achieve. The good news is that the formula is simple but requires that we check our egos at the door and reflect honestly on why we haven’t achieved greatness just yet. Once we complete this step, the sky’s the limit. Don’t forget! You can also listen to The Tai Lopez Show on Spotify!

“Who knows what the fundamentals are? This isn’t traditional trading. You can’t be a value investor in the way you can on Wall Street.” - William Duplessie(click to tweet) Making money from cryptocurrency is daunting. Sure, you can create an account on Coinbase, do the the traditional Bitcoin buy, and watch the money trickle into your account. But to maximize the opportunity that exists right now with crypto requires extensive education. Even then, distilling data charts and juggling the news articles is an enormous to-do. From market cap to total volume, making sense of these numbers and conducting the additional qualitative research can send an eager investor into a spiral of not knowing what to think. On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we are joined by cryptocurrency-expert, William Duplessie. William is an Associate at Science Blockchain, and his deep understanding of digital currency spreads across many domains. As he says, it’s all he “eats, sleeps, and breathes.” And in today’s episode, we are fortunate to learn his strategies on making sense of today’s crypto-world.

“I’m witnessing people make obscene amounts of money. I’m watching people clear hundreds of thousands of dollars in a day.” - William Duplessie(click to tweet) The Bitcoin headlines are taking over. What was just $7,000 last month is now over $13,000. People are making millions, and the growth isn’t stopping anytime soon. Cryptocurrency is the new gold rush, and it is up to you to make the most out of it. How to do this is through education. Blockchain, wallets, ledgers, ICOs - the terms surrounding cryptocurrency are dense and require research, education, and expert opinion to fully understand the entire landscape. That is why on today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, I have brought on cryptocurrency-expert William Duplessie. Since first discovering cryptocurrency in 2012, William has fully committed himself to understanding and analyzing the world of cryptocurrency. Now an Associate at Science Blockchain and a collaborator with the crypto-guru Brock Pierce, it’s all he “thinks, eats, and breathes.” In today’s episode, Duplessie shares his views on where cryptocurrency is headed, what are the best tools and products to use, and how to make the most out of your investment.

“Kobe Bryant admitted that he purposefully copied Michael Jordan’s basketball game. Pablo Picasso said, “Good artists copy, great artists steal.” The question is: are you good or are you great?” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet) Making money is not an IQ thing. If it were, the valedictorians would be the richest people in the world. But that’s not the case; in fact, it’s the opposite. The wealthiest entrepreneurs in the world are the ones who abandoned the traditional education system to go on to pave their own road. So, what determines wealth if it isn’t intelligence? On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we answer this question by reviewing some of the best moments from this past week. From being methodical about your daily routine to figuring out the best way to learn from others, the tips and tricks discussed in today’s highlight reel will help you catapult your business and wealth to the next level.

“We are sponges. Find a mentor and get inspired by hanging around that person.” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet) A productive daily routine is difficult to achieve. We all wake up in the morning, check our phones, and then go about our days doing the best we can. But then we finish our day and go to bed thinking: was that really the best I could do? Your daily life should be composed of tasks dedicated to either maintaining the life you’re living or trying to improve your life for some future date. If you’re disappointed with your daily routine, it’s because you aren’t attending to this rule. And if you believe you are, some trait is preventing you from seeing the picture clearly. On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we are taking a close look at productivity. How can you squeeze the most juice out of your day? The first step is to be honest with yourself. Self-deception will disguise laziness as procrastination or stubbornness as ‘your opinion.’ So, before listening to this podcast, take a second to check your ego at the door and get ready to make the changes required to take your daily routine to the next level.

“Emotional intelligence is knowing how to control your own emotions in sync with also reading how others feel about you.” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet) Great marketing requires a storytelling finesse. This is because audiences are smart, and can detect the tricks you might be trying to play. Say your video’s call-to-action is too explicit; a viewer will see that and turn the other way. Or if the product’s need is not rooted in enough emotional weight, the potential customer might not feel incentivized enough to purchase. Whatever the case may be, the cure to this is to tell relatable stories. A relatable story is an emotional story. From the failure stories to the love stories, if the core of the messaging is rooted in something that the viewer or reader can relate to, the storytelling becomes much easier. No longer are you tiptoeing through the tripwires in the potential customer’s head; he or she is on the same page and will inevitably feel motivated to buy your product. On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we are taking a close look at relatability. In a conversation with my brother, we discuss all things related to storytelling, marketing, and interpersonal relations. How can you be more relatable in each of these domains is the question we answer in today’s episode. Don’t forget! You can also listen to The Tai Lopez Show on Spotify!

“We evolved in small groups, and all groups have status hierarchies. From an evolutionary perspective, reproductively relevant resources always accrue to those with the highest status.” - Dr. David Buss(click to tweet) It’s no secret that a greater understanding of people will lead you to more success in business. From hiring to collaborating to managing to pitching, almost every touchpoint of business involves interacting with people. And if you’re not interacting, you are most likely working on your product that will ultimately affect or influence people. Thus, a greater understanding of human behavior and psychology will undoubtedly help you take your business to the next level. But how you choose to learn about human behavior is what will determine your level of knowledge and ultimately separate you from the competition. And that is why we are so focused on evolutionary psychology. To study evolutionary psychology is to understand the human being from the core; how did we evolve over the past hundreds of millions of years to be the way we are today. On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we are joined by world-renowned evolutionary psychologist, Dr. David Buss. Professor Buss is the author of The New Science of the Mind, and currently teaches at the University of Texas at Austin. He has previously taught at Harvard and the University of Michigan, and today he explains how the principles of evolutionary psychology can be applied to business. Don’t forget!

![]() “Don’t outsource marketing. Only you will understand you and your business in the intricate and intimate way that’s necessary to convey a marketing message.” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet) It’s your duty to find your superpower and figure out a way to market it to the world. But laziness, procrastination, and every other excuse in the book prevent us from achieving that. We tell ourselves stories that are convincing enough in the moment to justify sitting on the couch instead of burning the midnight oil chipping away at our dreams. But our awareness of this pattern is the first step to changing the reality. On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we have an audio diary that covers the mechanics of this behavior.

“In order for me to be happy in life, I have to have two things: changing the world at scale and having fun. And it’s a constant rebalancing.” - Jeremy Gardner(click to tweet) Everyone has an opinion on Bitcoin. Some think it’s fairy dust, and others feel like they know the magnitude of what’s coming. Regardless of who is speaking, a cryptocurrency conversation will have a range of perspective and conviction. But the truth is, that to understand cryptocurrency, you have to immerse yourself in conversations with expert opinions. They are the ones closest to the action, so their perspective is the one we must check all rumors and news headlines against. On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we are joined by crypto-expert, Jeremy Gardner. Since 2012, Jeremy has had front-row seats to all things crypto-related. He is the founder of the decentralized prediction blockchain Augur, which at a market-cap of $300 million is said to be the most undervalued crypto-project in Silicon Valley.

“Crypto and Bitcoin assets can go down 90% tomorrow, and they’ll still be higher than their all-time high a year ago.” - Jeremy Gardner(click to tweet) Cryptocurrency isn’t just about Bitcoin. There’s Stellar, Eos, Steem, Salt, and many more blockchains, tokens, technologies, and coins to bet on. Sure, Bitcoin’s price is a reliable glimpse into the market’s pulse on cryptocurrency, but if you’re looking to invest in any of the alternative crypto technologies, research beyond Bitcoin is required. Luckily, on today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we are joined by the expert on alternative crypto technologies.

“Augmented reality will eliminate the fear of others and make the world a better place.” - Jay Samit(click to tweet) Over the past few years, we’ve witnessed augmented reality technologies develop. But products like Google Glass and QR codes made us skeptical of whether this technology had a place in the real world. Then there was Pokémon Go, which caught the world’s attention, made over $1 billion dollars, and made any AR-related doubts vanish from our minds.

“Pay attention to trends. What I do know, is that I’ve never met somebody born in April who I haven’t gotten along with. It’s not 100% perfect science, but there is something there.” - Patrick Bet-David(click to tweet) Hiring is one of the greatest challenges in growing a business. How do you know who to hire? What defines a good candidate? Is it focus? Charisma? Technical ability? Obviously it depends on the position and ideally you'd want the best of all worlds, but that’s hard to achieve and compromise has to be made. So the real challenge becomes understanding people. To hire right requires knowing what types of people are required to succeed, what types of people you’re currently employing, and thus, what type of person you need to hire. On today's episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we are joined by Patrick Bet-David, Founder and CEO of PHP Agency, and also the face of his personal brand Valuetainment. Patrick fled Iran at age 10 and stayed in a refugee camp in Germany before eventually landing in America. He now runs a multi-million dollar insurance company, and today he provides us with his views on the types of people required to launch and grow a successful company.

“The name isn’t important. What is important is the story behind the name.”- Patrick Bet-David(click to tweet) The opportunity for your personal brand is greater than the opportunity for your business' brand. The people who ask, "Do you really need both?" are failing to see this truth. With a personal brand, you are able to differentiate yourself from the competition in a wildly unique way. The landscape caters to individuality; it’s a platform for self-expression. However, with a business’ brand, the story behind the product or service inevitably gets diluted by the fact that it is a product or service and not an individual. This means that succeeding with both brands requires different sets of skills. Maybe you’re shy and don’t believe you can be in front of a camera promoting who you are or what you represent. Or maybe it’s the opposite, that you aren’t sure what the story is behind your product or service, or if you do, you don’t know how to tell it. On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we are joined by Patrick Bet-David, who has succeeded with both his personal and business brands. A child-refugee from Iran, Bet-David ultimately landed in America where he founded his insurance company, PHP Agency, which now employs over 6,000 people. And in more recent years, with the rise of the Internet and social media, Bet-David knew he had to launch his personal brand, Valuetainment, which has 400,000+ subscribers on YouTube. Patrick discusses the challenges one faces when growing a business or brand in today’s episode. From selling such an unsexy product like insurance figuring out who to hire when growing his team, Patrick Bet-David has a lot to teach us and we are hear to listen and learn.

Sign up for my new Bitcoin Cryptocurrency Mastermind Here“It’s not hard to see the future. Getting the timing right is the part you need to get right.” - Brock Pierce(click to tweet) The golden rule is: Only invest in things you understand. And with cryptocurrency, what needs to be understood is more complex than the average investment decision. It’s not a company’s stock or sector of the economy you’re betting on. It’s an entirely new monetary system you’re saying that people will adopt. This extra dimension to the investment adds research. Terms like ‘blockchain’ and ‘ICO’ are things we must know. Understanding when and where to use virtual vs. physical wallets is part of the investor’s responsibility. And trying to learn why Bitcoin can go from $7,000 to now $14,000 in one month will separate you from the other crypto-investors. Fortunately, we live in an age where we can seek out expert opinions, and today we are joined by the Chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation and Cofounder of Blockchain Capital, Brock Pierce.

“Tell a story. Each of you needs to become a Steven Spielberg. Someone who can tell the amazing story that is the movie of your brand.” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet) Marketing is storytelling. And with your website, the story must be simple. Who are you? What product are you selling? Why are you selling it? These are the questions floating around in the visitor’s head, so it is the company’s responsibility to provide those answers on their website. But so many times I visit a company’s website and am blown away by how they choose to bombard me with information I don’t need. On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we teach you how to make money from your website by going through a number of followers’ websites and diagnosing the issues with each.

“I thought if we’re a software company, then we’re just a commodity that will eventually get priced out. We needed to build something bigger, where people felt part of a movement.” - Russell Brunson(click to tweet) The movement behind a product is more important than the product itself. Take Apple for example. Yes they create some of the sleekest and most well-functioning products in the space, but it's not the iPhones and Macbooks that fueled the tech-giant's rise to what is now valued at over $900 billion. It's what having an iPhone or Macbook says about you. This is the reality of today's business landscape. Brands operate as tribes, and if you own the brand's product, then you are behind that tribe’s movement or message. You’re wearing the ID badge that tells others you speak the language of that tribe, and if you see others with the same product as you, you know you can have a conversation with them. On today’s episode, we have Russell Brunson, owner of ClickFunnels.com, talking about brand tribalism. In the early days of Russell’s launch, he had ClickFunnels enthusiasts create a tribe called “FunnelHackers.” Since then, Russell has helped business owners spell out the message of their tribe as well through the use of his tool.

“The reality is when you first start something you’re gonna suck. But if you keep doing it, the less and less you’re gonna suck and eventually you’ll be good.” - Russell Brunson(click to tweet) Starting a business once required a lot of time, money, and energy.

![]() “When I first started, I had no idea what credit card points were. Now I stay at Ritz-Carltons and fly first-class for free.” - Stephen Liao(click to tweet) The best way to learn history is to travel the world for free. But our school system doesn’t teach us this. We’re tested on the year the Mongols invaded Europe instead of learning how to score free travel points from credit card companies so we can actually go visit Europe. Today, Stephen Liao teaches us how to sift through the world of credit card perks to be able to do just this. Stephen dropped out of Stanford to figure out the credit card game just a year ago, and today he has a credit-limit that exceeds $3 million spread across 220 different credit cards. If he’s not flying first-class, he’s on a private jet. And if he’s not staying at the Waldorf Astoria, he’s at the Ritz-Carlton. This is all because he’s figured out how to hack the credit card companies and beat them at their own game. Between the cash back, the flight miles, the discounts at other vendors, he distills all of it on today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show! Don’t forget, you can listen to The Tai Lopez Show on Spotify!

“Whatever you do, you’re gonna have to suffer the consequences good or bad. So do you.” - Lavar Ball(click to tweet) There’s nobody out there like Lavar Ball. For the past year, we’ve seen him take over headlines, making controversial statements about the talent of his son Lonzo or justifying the $495 price tag on his Big Baller Brand sneakers. For the critics, this is fodder to create the next news story. But for us marketers, this is utter genius to watch and learn from. There’s an old saying that any press is good press, and it seems that Lavar Ball lives by that. But the more you listen to him in interviews, the more you learn that he’s just doing him. He actually believes his son is better than Stephen Curry, and that his shoe is worth that price. He’s not doing it for the headlines; he’s doing it to be true to himself. On today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show, we catch Lavar for a few minutes to talk about his marketing and life philosophies. If there’s one thing we can take away from Lavar, it’s that staying true to your vision is what’s most important. Don’t forget, you can listen to The Tai Lopez Show on Spotify!

“When you poll your audience, you discover their values, which allows you to align your content/product/service better with what they value” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet) While a lot of people can make some money even with poor marketing techniques, when you start talking about 8-figure and above businesses, you need to really, REALLY know what you’re doing. Today, I am talking about how you can use social media and an understanding of human behavior to create a funnel that takes cold traffic and brings them all the way to the point of purchase. In dating, most people will not sleep with a potential mate until they have spent a minimum of 7 hours with them, and in marketing we see a very similar thing: Unless you can find a way to spend a good amount of time with potential buyers, you will have a very hard time converting cold traffic into customers. But if, through social media and carefully crafted funnels, you are able to continually show up to them, time and time again until, over time, you have achieved those 7 hours, the likelihood that they will become customers increases exponentially. That is what I am teaching you how to do on today’s episode of The Tai Lopez Show! Don’t forget, you can listen to The Tai Lopez Show on Spotify!
