1 00:00:00,049 --> 00:00:02,210 Forget Pitch Fest and Hotel Ballrooms. 2 00:00:02,210 --> 00:00:07,850 My guest today here is Brody Lee and he is here re-engineering events into 3 00:00:07,850 --> 00:00:13,460 immersive experiences powered by ai, where it's actually shaping all the details. 4 00:00:13,670 --> 00:00:18,860 It's co-created with the audience, and breakthroughs aren't just sales, it's 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,080 actually his, it's set up to trigger, to donate clean water for millions of people 6 00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:26,030 based on what's happening in the room. 7 00:00:26,415 --> 00:00:30,015 So his personal experiment with all of this is to build a seven 8 00:00:30,015 --> 00:00:34,845 figure event in only 100 days with absolutely no safety net. 9 00:00:34,845 --> 00:00:37,754 So no previous email list, no ad spend, none of his personal 10 00:00:37,754 --> 00:00:39,164 cash putting into this. 11 00:00:39,285 --> 00:00:42,435 And he's doing this all so he could prove what's possible 12 00:00:42,435 --> 00:00:44,474 when business equals impact. 13 00:00:44,474 --> 00:00:49,995 It's completely redefining what events are in this new phase of AI and technology 14 00:00:50,235 --> 00:00:51,855 and kind of human disconnection. 15 00:00:51,855 --> 00:00:53,025 So he's flipping the script. 16 00:00:53,085 --> 00:00:54,795 He's gonna dive into it now. 17 00:00:54,855 --> 00:00:55,394 Brody Lee. 18 00:01:00,856 --> 00:01:02,116 All right, Brody, we're doing this. 19 00:01:02,116 --> 00:01:03,076 How are you doing, my friend? 20 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,740 I am doing just great. 21 00:01:04,740 --> 00:01:05,700 I'm really happy to be here. 22 00:01:06,166 --> 00:01:06,886 dude, me too. 23 00:01:06,886 --> 00:01:09,766 I'm, you know, we got connected recently through Charles Bird. 24 00:01:09,796 --> 00:01:10,936 Gotta give him a shout out. 25 00:01:10,936 --> 00:01:11,206 Always 26 00:01:11,206 --> 00:01:11,656 do. 27 00:01:12,076 --> 00:01:14,296 And um, you know, we have a lot of mutual friends. 28 00:01:14,296 --> 00:01:16,306 We were just talking about Greg Merrilees, another buddy of 29 00:01:16,306 --> 00:01:19,426 ours who has just awesome, he's been on the show a ton to time. 30 00:01:19,426 --> 00:01:23,746 So, but you are, you are the events guy and that's, 31 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,180 Hopefully I, hopefully I have that reputation. 32 00:01:27,180 --> 00:01:27,810 Yeah. 33 00:01:28,036 --> 00:01:32,026 that's what I hear at least a word on the street is, and you get some big plans, 34 00:01:32,026 --> 00:01:36,796 which I want to talk about and how things are changing because you know, we're, 35 00:01:36,796 --> 00:01:40,276 we talk a lot about AI and how things are changing so much on this show for 36 00:01:40,276 --> 00:01:42,556 entrepreneurs and just everyone alike. 37 00:01:42,556 --> 00:01:45,911 But like you're, you're kind of spearheading this whole like, reinvention 38 00:01:45,911 --> 00:01:50,206 of what events can be are and yeah, you just have this interesting, you know. 39 00:01:50,626 --> 00:01:53,866 Background track record of doing them, but also what they can become. 40 00:01:53,866 --> 00:01:56,956 So I guess any thoughts on, on that before we dive in? 41 00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:58,170 Yeah, man. 42 00:01:58,170 --> 00:02:02,970 Look, look, I come into the event space with a, uh, I was fortunate enough 43 00:02:02,970 --> 00:02:06,330 to work for Apple at the time when Steve Jobs was around, so the late 44 00:02:06,330 --> 00:02:08,160 two thousands, early 2000 and tens. 45 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,740 And I, uh, I got to see firsthand how he did these incredible events, these product 46 00:02:13,740 --> 00:02:17,490 launches that just captivated people around the world and forced millions of 47 00:02:17,490 --> 00:02:21,090 people to come into stores to the point that people were waiting outside overnight 48 00:02:21,090 --> 00:02:24,330 to get the latest iPhone and they would queue up for hours and everything. 49 00:02:24,655 --> 00:02:29,485 Um, so our product launches were amazing, but they created a quality problem for us. 50 00:02:29,485 --> 00:02:32,905 Whereas our one-to-one sales model where you go into an Apple store, you get 51 00:02:32,905 --> 00:02:36,475 that specialist, which is Apple, kind of redefined retail in that way, and everyone 52 00:02:36,475 --> 00:02:38,695 ended up copying them, but it fell apart. 53 00:02:38,695 --> 00:02:42,415 And so part of my role when I was training, uh, their leadership, their 54 00:02:42,415 --> 00:02:45,955 executive teams, as a sales trainer, I would, I would support them with 55 00:02:45,955 --> 00:02:47,245 like, how do we sell one to many? 56 00:02:47,245 --> 00:02:50,065 How do we get people in our store environments, having somebody at 57 00:02:50,065 --> 00:02:53,365 the foot of a table at a launch and facilitating a sales conversation 58 00:02:53,365 --> 00:02:54,505 with like 40 people at one. 59 00:02:54,915 --> 00:02:55,545 Which is great. 60 00:02:55,545 --> 00:02:58,875 It was a really awesome time to be there, and so I kind of had this 61 00:02:58,875 --> 00:03:03,225 PhD style education from Steve on how to sell one to many, which is an 62 00:03:03,225 --> 00:03:05,475 amazing, amazing, amazing experience. 63 00:03:05,475 --> 00:03:06,640 And I, I learned a ton from the guy. 64 00:03:07,305 --> 00:03:10,845 And so coming into this space now in the, you know, the, the, the personal 65 00:03:10,845 --> 00:03:14,650 development, business development kind of coaching, consulting, creator kind, 66 00:03:14,955 --> 00:03:18,585 kind of space, um, I've been able to take a lot of what I learned from Steve and 67 00:03:18,585 --> 00:03:22,665 implement it into our strategies around how we help people to create events that 68 00:03:22,665 --> 00:03:24,495 truly touch, move, and inspire people. 69 00:03:24,855 --> 00:03:26,565 Um, I have this firm. 70 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,025 That most events that people go to live in person events are terrible. 71 00:03:31,490 --> 00:03:36,290 Most people do a phenomenally horrible job at producing that event. 72 00:03:36,290 --> 00:03:40,610 You think about it, they go into a gray hotel room with a monotone speaker, 73 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,720 no attention paid to the experience, and then it's just a pitch fest pitch, 74 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,645 pitch, pitch, pitch, pitch, pitch. 75 00:03:46,215 --> 00:03:47,625 Like, we're kind of all over that. 76 00:03:47,805 --> 00:03:50,055 And it's interesting, you know, we've come out of this experience with the 77 00:03:50,055 --> 00:03:51,315 pandemic and all that sort of stuff. 78 00:03:51,315 --> 00:03:55,305 We all went virtual and at a time in society where technology is 79 00:03:55,305 --> 00:03:58,785 on the ri rise, like AI is taking over, it's kind of like, I see it 80 00:03:58,785 --> 00:04:01,395 as the wild west of the.com era. 81 00:04:01,455 --> 00:04:03,345 Uh, at the moment it's like a repeat of that. 82 00:04:03,585 --> 00:04:05,595 Um, everyone's got all this really exciting stuff. 83 00:04:05,595 --> 00:04:08,760 No one really knows what's happening, but supply of human connection is dwindling. 84 00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:12,150 And so what I know to be true is that demand when supply 85 00:04:12,150 --> 00:04:14,850 dwindles demand increases classic supply and demand, right? 86 00:04:15,090 --> 00:04:20,040 And so the event space is really, really ripe right now for disruption, and it's 87 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,730 really, really ripe for people to come in and to provide their audiences with an 88 00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:25,440 experience that they cannot get online. 89 00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:29,050 We know that people are more likely to purchase when they're in an in, 90 00:04:29,260 --> 00:04:30,940 uh, an in, in-person environment. 91 00:04:30,940 --> 00:04:32,200 We have stats to back that up. 92 00:04:32,260 --> 00:04:35,920 Depending on the study, it's anywhere from like 20 or 30% more likely to purchase. 93 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,950 Um, we know that people also have more affinity with brands. 94 00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:42,100 They're more likely to trust them and also they're less likely 95 00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:43,570 to develop a long-term, sorry. 96 00:04:43,570 --> 00:04:46,390 They are more likely to develop a long-term relationship with that brand. 97 00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:48,720 When they've had a tactile experience with them. 98 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,090 So what does that mean for everyone listening here? 99 00:04:51,090 --> 00:04:53,520 It means that if you are in the high ticket space, you have an 100 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,720 offer and you're serving people. 101 00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:58,470 If you are not running some sort of an event, either as an acquisition 102 00:04:58,470 --> 00:05:03,810 strategy, which is our space, or as a client kind of success strategy, then 103 00:05:03,810 --> 00:05:06,245 over the next three to five years, you are really gonna be left behind. 104 00:05:06,825 --> 00:05:09,750 We have been blessed with internet marketing strategies over the last 105 00:05:09,750 --> 00:05:13,350 25 years that have made many, many, many, many people millionaires, 106 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,940 sent millionaires, billionaires. 107 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,540 And the strategy of events has been around for far longer. 108 00:05:18,570 --> 00:05:21,000 Like Tony Robbins has been doing events for the past 40 109 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,680 years, the exact same event. 110 00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:26,250 Uh, the church puts on the exact same event every weekend 111 00:05:26,250 --> 00:05:28,380 for the last 2025 or so years. 112 00:05:28,380 --> 00:05:28,710 Right. 113 00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:31,350 Um, we've been get gathering at events from like blood sports 114 00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:34,230 at the Coliseum, political movements, all that sort of stuff. 115 00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:34,500 Right. 116 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,930 So I'm gonna bet on that strategy. 117 00:05:37,230 --> 00:05:39,930 And what's really interesting right now is that I want to, the 118 00:05:39,930 --> 00:05:42,780 way that we're approaching this is that we, we are redefining how 119 00:05:42,780 --> 00:05:44,280 people think about these events. 120 00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:49,950 Instead of just pitch fest speaker on stage, like how are we engaging people 121 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,000 at the event so that they're touch moved and inspired and wanna stick with you 122 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,200 to make them really, really sticky. 123 00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:59,970 So for us, that looks like every single experience at the event is carefully 124 00:05:59,970 --> 00:06:04,560 curated with something other than just somebody presenting something on stage. 125 00:06:04,590 --> 00:06:06,660 I, I'll give you a really like clear example. 126 00:06:06,660 --> 00:06:07,650 So we're running an event. 127 00:06:07,841 --> 00:06:10,781 and it's about helping people to create events. 128 00:06:10,781 --> 00:06:13,211 The tagline is one event, 1,000,001 Weekend. 129 00:06:13,271 --> 00:06:15,761 That's the goal for our, for our, our attendees. 130 00:06:16,061 --> 00:06:18,521 But what we're doing is very different to anyone else. 131 00:06:18,521 --> 00:06:19,721 We're not just up there teaching them. 132 00:06:19,721 --> 00:06:24,971 They're gonna build their live with us and have live brand activations with our 133 00:06:24,971 --> 00:06:31,091 sponsors and whatnot, so that on day one, their event is launched to market and 134 00:06:31,091 --> 00:06:32,831 they are selling tickets immediately. 135 00:06:33,206 --> 00:06:36,806 And the brands that come in and support us, and we, we are carefully curating 136 00:06:36,806 --> 00:06:41,156 the sponsors to come in so that somebody has the support of, say, for example, 137 00:06:41,306 --> 00:06:45,266 uh, an AI company that's gonna help them with their AI conversational chat bot. 138 00:06:45,296 --> 00:06:46,856 And they will launch that live. 139 00:06:47,006 --> 00:06:49,226 So that's when somebody registers, they start getting 140 00:06:49,226 --> 00:06:51,086 a nurture campaign immediately. 141 00:06:51,266 --> 00:06:53,756 Um, that we are working with different CRM providers. 142 00:06:53,756 --> 00:06:55,646 We're working with affiliate partners. 143 00:06:55,646 --> 00:06:58,106 So for example, if someone's like, I want to get affiliates 144 00:06:58,106 --> 00:06:58,886 to market my event for me. 145 00:06:59,426 --> 00:07:02,516 The affiliate partner will be there and they will literally design their affiliate 146 00:07:02,516 --> 00:07:06,836 campaign live so that they can send it to people, uh, to, to, to basically 147 00:07:06,836 --> 00:07:08,576 to, to send for them that weekend. 148 00:07:08,966 --> 00:07:12,956 We build out their event with them on the second day through experiences 149 00:07:12,956 --> 00:07:16,226 and activations where people get to experience and like, I'm an instructional 150 00:07:16,226 --> 00:07:18,056 designer by trade from way back when. 151 00:07:18,416 --> 00:07:21,356 I want when people are learning at my event to apply it live. 152 00:07:21,566 --> 00:07:25,796 We've got an amazing, um, sponsor that I'm so close to getting, and I hope I get the 153 00:07:25,796 --> 00:07:31,376 sponsor, um, that's gonna do a metaverse experience where we give everyone a, 154 00:07:31,436 --> 00:07:34,286 um, uh, uh, one of those, uh, quests. 155 00:07:34,286 --> 00:07:36,686 The, the, the whatever they are from, from Meta. 156 00:07:36,926 --> 00:07:37,406 Yeah. 157 00:07:37,406 --> 00:07:37,916 Yeah. 158 00:07:38,006 --> 00:07:42,416 And then they have an experience live at our event inside the Metaverse, talking 159 00:07:42,416 --> 00:07:45,626 about all the different possibilities and it kind of just builds from there, 160 00:07:45,626 --> 00:07:47,156 like, so by the end of the weekend. 161 00:07:47,501 --> 00:07:52,421 Everyone's walking out with a tactile product built, launched a market, and then 162 00:07:52,421 --> 00:07:56,651 all of our sponsors that come in, instead of just having a crappy booth, they're, 163 00:07:56,681 --> 00:08:00,731 I'm mandating, I'm commanding from them that they create an activation zone. 164 00:08:01,241 --> 00:08:04,781 And I saw a really, really great example of this, um, at a, at an event 165 00:08:04,781 --> 00:08:08,711 recently, and one of those companies that, uh, do those iMessages, the 166 00:08:08,711 --> 00:08:10,871 blue, like the blue messages, right? 167 00:08:11,180 --> 00:08:13,901 They set up this tent, which was just hilarious. 168 00:08:13,901 --> 00:08:15,606 It looked like it was something out of the apocalyp. 169 00:08:16,436 --> 00:08:18,296 And what they did was, so they set up a tent. 170 00:08:18,326 --> 00:08:20,036 They were all wearing hazmat suits. 171 00:08:20,276 --> 00:08:24,116 They had a body bag and it was called the SMS treatment center. 172 00:08:24,146 --> 00:08:27,656 And then they all had these CO2 guns and they were disinfecting people, 173 00:08:27,866 --> 00:08:30,506 uh, live from the perils of SMS. 174 00:08:30,716 --> 00:08:33,596 And so when I talk about event experiences, I'm talking about this 175 00:08:33,596 --> 00:08:37,586 sort of stuff that keeps your people really, really inspired and so that 176 00:08:37,586 --> 00:08:40,886 they're not just sitting there all day going, twiddling their thumbs, all that 177 00:08:40,886 --> 00:08:41,936 sort of stuff, listening to speakers. 178 00:08:42,567 --> 00:08:45,207 Uh, well that's, that's the common event, right? 179 00:08:45,207 --> 00:08:45,477 Like, 180 00:08:45,837 --> 00:08:46,587 like you said, it, It's, 181 00:08:46,587 --> 00:08:49,317 kind of like you're sitting in this sea of people. 182 00:08:49,977 --> 00:08:54,237 A sea could be as small as 20 people or it could be thousands, doesn't matter. 183 00:08:54,237 --> 00:08:56,277 But either way you're just kinda sitting there. 184 00:08:56,277 --> 00:08:56,517 Yeah. 185 00:08:56,517 --> 00:08:58,317 You're like, you described it's this room. 186 00:08:58,677 --> 00:09:01,707 I mean, I've been to some pretty large events like, uh, recently Cisco 187 00:09:01,707 --> 00:09:03,387 Live, you know, it's massive event. 188 00:09:03,387 --> 00:09:05,337 It had something like 30,000, 20,000 people, something 189 00:09:05,337 --> 00:09:06,987 like that, which is epic. 190 00:09:07,482 --> 00:09:08,652 But still at the same time. 191 00:09:08,652 --> 00:09:10,632 I mean like, and they're doing everything they can, you know, it 192 00:09:10,632 --> 00:09:14,382 looks like a rock concert when you're inside there, but, um, you know, but 193 00:09:14,442 --> 00:09:18,762 at the end of the day you're still sitting there for like a long time just 194 00:09:19,316 --> 00:09:19,646 Yeah. 195 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:20,760 Well, and that's the other thing. 196 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,370 We have music, we get Tony Robbins music guy to come in and 197 00:09:23,370 --> 00:09:24,330 do all of that sort of stuff. 198 00:09:24,330 --> 00:09:25,860 We en, en engage in movement. 199 00:09:25,860 --> 00:09:28,350 There's like five different anchors that you can activate. 200 00:09:28,350 --> 00:09:32,400 There's visual, auditory, um, kinesthetic, olfactory, gustatory. 201 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,590 And when you're thinking about the experience of people at the event, 202 00:09:34,590 --> 00:09:38,580 it's like how do you tap into those different anchors to get people 203 00:09:38,580 --> 00:09:40,050 to have memorable experiences? 204 00:09:40,050 --> 00:09:41,850 And how do your sponsors use them as well? 205 00:09:41,978 --> 00:09:45,548 A really amazing hack for like, from a sponsorship point of view to get 206 00:09:45,548 --> 00:09:50,738 those anchors is to look at how you can engage local businesses, for example. 207 00:09:50,738 --> 00:09:53,978 So we know that coffee sucks at, at events, right? 208 00:09:53,978 --> 00:09:55,088 Everyone hates the coffee. 209 00:09:55,328 --> 00:09:59,918 Um, and it's in these aff and it's kind of like, it's, it's there because it's there. 210 00:10:00,428 --> 00:10:03,188 But what if you could engage a participant from an olfactory 211 00:10:03,188 --> 00:10:04,388 and gustatory point of view? 212 00:10:04,388 --> 00:10:06,998 So olfactory is smell, gustatory is taste, right? 213 00:10:07,328 --> 00:10:10,208 And you went to a local coffee roasting company and they came in and they did 214 00:10:10,208 --> 00:10:13,658 a coffee experience where every single person got free coffee all weekend. 215 00:10:13,658 --> 00:10:16,298 And you found out, let's say it was like, I don't know, $7,000 216 00:10:16,298 --> 00:10:17,078 for them to do this, right? 217 00:10:17,648 --> 00:10:20,258 Then you bring in a sponsor and say, Hey, do you want to get 218 00:10:20,258 --> 00:10:23,468 foot traffic of basically 90% of the people coming into the room? 219 00:10:23,468 --> 00:10:24,908 And they go, yes, I want that. 220 00:10:25,118 --> 00:10:28,658 So then what happens is that this experience is associated with that brand. 221 00:10:28,658 --> 00:10:29,858 That brand gets to market it. 222 00:10:29,858 --> 00:10:32,408 They have all of their people there, and you charge that sponsor 223 00:10:32,708 --> 00:10:35,588 $21,000 for the privilege of being in front of those people. 224 00:10:35,588 --> 00:10:36,548 Your coffee's paid for. 225 00:10:36,548 --> 00:10:38,498 Your participants have an incredible experience. 226 00:10:38,738 --> 00:10:41,468 You are respected because you've given them good coffee. 227 00:10:41,468 --> 00:10:42,528 And that brand has a really, really. 228 00:10:42,743 --> 00:10:43,615 Cool experiences too. 229 00:10:43,973 --> 00:10:46,013 That's what I'm talking about when we, when we're thinking about these 230 00:10:46,101 --> 00:10:49,613 experiences, you gotta get a little bit beyond just the, I've got people 231 00:10:49,613 --> 00:10:53,483 in my room, I'm treating them like human ATMs, and I'm providing them 232 00:10:53,483 --> 00:10:56,903 with an experience that makes the cost of them being there worthwhile. 233 00:10:56,903 --> 00:11:00,773 There's six costs, three visible and three invisible of people 234 00:11:00,773 --> 00:11:01,913 actually coming to your event. 235 00:11:01,918 --> 00:11:05,333 The, the, the visible ones are simple things like flights, 236 00:11:05,363 --> 00:11:06,863 accommodation, and, um. 237 00:11:07,418 --> 00:11:09,098 Uh, flights, accommodation. 238 00:11:09,098 --> 00:11:09,788 What's the other one? 239 00:11:09,818 --> 00:11:10,268 Hotels. 240 00:11:10,268 --> 00:11:10,658 Thank you. 241 00:11:10,663 --> 00:11:10,833 Yeah. 242 00:11:10,838 --> 00:11:10,898 Yeah. 243 00:11:10,898 --> 00:11:13,058 Flights, accommodation and the ticket price. 244 00:11:13,058 --> 00:11:13,988 The ticket price, of course. 245 00:11:14,078 --> 00:11:17,438 And then the invisible ones are things like the physical 246 00:11:17,438 --> 00:11:18,548 time that they're present. 247 00:11:18,548 --> 00:11:22,448 No one actually ever thinks they could be anywhere but in your room, and they've 248 00:11:22,448 --> 00:11:23,828 chosen to spend that time with you. 249 00:11:24,038 --> 00:11:25,688 Then you've got the opportunity. 250 00:11:25,688 --> 00:11:29,078 Cost of them are being away from the immediate income generating activity. 251 00:11:29,078 --> 00:11:31,838 This, the immediate incoming generating activities that they could be doing 252 00:11:31,838 --> 00:11:35,468 in their business, which is why I, on day one, help them make money while 253 00:11:35,468 --> 00:11:38,258 they're live at the event, because I want them to have that hook, right? 254 00:11:38,528 --> 00:11:42,068 But the third, invisible cost is the, probably the most significant one. 255 00:11:42,068 --> 00:11:44,258 And then, no, I don't think anyone really considers this. 256 00:11:44,258 --> 00:11:48,008 And that's the relational cost of them being away from their family, 257 00:11:48,188 --> 00:11:50,228 their communities, and their teams. 258 00:11:50,888 --> 00:11:54,338 Now, if you can pay attention to those costs in the way in 259 00:11:54,338 --> 00:11:55,808 which you provide the experience. 260 00:11:56,228 --> 00:11:58,928 Even put, you're an event somewhere where the family wants to come. 261 00:11:58,928 --> 00:12:02,078 So I love places like Orlando and LA like Anaheim 262 00:12:02,258 --> 00:12:03,497 because the kids can come to Disney. 263 00:12:03,548 --> 00:12:04,058 Yeah. 264 00:12:04,058 --> 00:12:05,168 All of those sorts of things. 265 00:12:05,408 --> 00:12:08,348 Then the people start to feel like they're not being treated like an 266 00:12:08,348 --> 00:12:12,158 ATM and of course you want 'em to buy your stuff, but I guarantee you, your, 267 00:12:12,218 --> 00:12:14,903 your conversion will increase when you pay attention to all of these things. 268 00:12:15,325 --> 00:12:15,745 Yeah. 269 00:12:15,865 --> 00:12:16,585 You know what's funny? 270 00:12:16,585 --> 00:12:20,095 This, this reminded me of, um, I dunno if you ever went to these Glazer 271 00:12:20,095 --> 00:12:25,075 Kennedy events back in the day, uh, GKIC, you know, Dan Kennedy and, um, 272 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,095 basically they, they ran these massive marketing events and, and it was 273 00:12:29,095 --> 00:12:32,335 great, you know, direct response type type people, but they had a whole. 274 00:12:33,220 --> 00:12:36,550 The rule, basically when they put their events on, there would be massive 275 00:12:36,550 --> 00:12:38,380 thousands of people and very successful. 276 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,970 They would put them in very not ideal locations or, or places 277 00:12:42,970 --> 00:12:44,320 like right by an airport. 278 00:12:44,590 --> 00:12:47,890 So I guess it's convenient, but they didn't want to make it easy for people 279 00:12:47,890 --> 00:12:50,440 to leave and actually do things around. 280 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,060 They wanted to keep their attention locked 281 00:12:52,090 --> 00:12:52,150 in. 282 00:12:52,543 --> 00:12:52,763 Uh, 283 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,080 And so it was not family friendly. 284 00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:58,720 It was like nothing was walkable. 285 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,350 I remember very clearly one was at like O'Hare Airport in Chicago. 286 00:13:02,350 --> 00:13:03,760 I'm like, there ain't nothing around here. 287 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:04,300 I want to do 288 00:13:04,990 --> 00:13:05,170 like 289 00:13:05,678 --> 00:13:08,528 uh, I play the same game as well, so like when you think about all 290 00:13:08,528 --> 00:13:09,753 of those places around Orlando. 291 00:13:10,418 --> 00:13:12,908 None of them are easily accessible to anything else. 292 00:13:12,908 --> 00:13:13,118 Right. 293 00:13:13,118 --> 00:13:14,048 They're all out of the way. 294 00:13:14,258 --> 00:13:17,708 I was actually at a really cool event, uh, last year by Amber Spears. 295 00:13:17,708 --> 00:13:21,068 She's one of our clients, and, and she, yeah, she does the Forums 296 00:13:21,068 --> 00:13:25,448 Mastermind, and she, she, um, she put it at the Conrad in Orlando. 297 00:13:25,448 --> 00:13:30,368 Now the Conrad is inside a gated community in the middle of a compound 298 00:13:30,398 --> 00:13:32,648 in the middle of nowhere in Orlando. 299 00:13:32,798 --> 00:13:34,568 It's a beautiful venue, 300 00:13:34,585 --> 00:13:35,305 It looks like it's like 301 00:13:35,318 --> 00:13:35,768 not go anywhere. 302 00:13:36,055 --> 00:13:36,145 or 303 00:13:36,433 --> 00:13:37,123 It does. 304 00:13:37,123 --> 00:13:37,303 Yeah. 305 00:13:37,393 --> 00:13:40,633 And they've got this amazing manmade length that took them like three months 306 00:13:40,633 --> 00:13:42,553 to fill and all this kind of crazy stuff. 307 00:13:42,583 --> 00:13:45,913 But to your point, like I do look at those sorts of things as well. 308 00:13:45,913 --> 00:13:47,683 Like I, I'm a big fan of the beach. 309 00:13:47,683 --> 00:13:49,873 I would love to put my events close to the beach. 310 00:13:50,143 --> 00:13:50,653 Awesome. 311 00:13:50,653 --> 00:13:53,203 But the challenge is that it's so distracting for people 312 00:13:53,353 --> 00:13:54,493 to be in that environment. 313 00:13:54,493 --> 00:13:57,373 And usually when there's a beach, there's like towns and all those sorts of things. 314 00:13:57,373 --> 00:13:58,093 I agree with you. 315 00:13:58,303 --> 00:14:02,353 You, you wanna make it, uh, you wanna make it amazing for people to come so 316 00:14:02,353 --> 00:14:03,823 that they have access to those things. 317 00:14:03,823 --> 00:14:05,323 So for the family, but. 318 00:14:05,663 --> 00:14:08,393 Close enough that they're in the environment and they hold you. 319 00:14:08,393 --> 00:14:10,133 And I'm a savage with my events as well. 320 00:14:10,133 --> 00:14:13,013 Like, you know, my events, they go from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM and 321 00:14:13,013 --> 00:14:14,093 people don't leave the room. 322 00:14:14,273 --> 00:14:17,243 And then from nine, and then from mid 9:00 PM to midnight, we have 323 00:14:17,243 --> 00:14:19,823 like what we call an impactathon where they work on their events. 324 00:14:19,913 --> 00:14:20,993 So like, it's intense. 325 00:14:21,143 --> 00:14:24,323 And part of that is by design, because I want, I'm not, I'm not wearing them 326 00:14:24,323 --> 00:14:27,413 out, but I'm, I'm trying to get them into the buying state by getting them 327 00:14:27,413 --> 00:14:28,793 fully immersed in what they're doing. 328 00:14:29,153 --> 00:14:30,263 Um, and it's great for me. 329 00:14:30,263 --> 00:14:32,843 So like the people on day one, when they launch their event, 330 00:14:32,843 --> 00:14:33,773 when they get great success. 331 00:14:34,358 --> 00:14:36,008 And they're selling lots of tickets. 332 00:14:36,008 --> 00:14:37,838 Like, oh my God, Brody's strategy's really, really worked. 333 00:14:37,838 --> 00:14:38,468 This is awesome. 334 00:14:38,468 --> 00:14:39,458 I wanna keep working with him. 335 00:14:39,578 --> 00:14:42,158 And for the people that are struggling, they're like, oh my God, I need help. 336 00:14:42,158 --> 00:14:43,478 I need to continue working with Brody. 337 00:14:43,478 --> 00:14:45,115 So it helps me out with my conversion as well. 338 00:14:45,415 --> 00:14:46,255 Absolutely. 339 00:14:46,495 --> 00:14:51,295 I mean, I've been to, yeah, some types of events as well where it's like doors are 340 00:14:51,295 --> 00:14:54,865 locked, or at least it's, it's like it has that illusion of like, we are here, 341 00:14:54,865 --> 00:14:59,305 we're together, you're committed, and, uh, no one's leaving until you do the thing. 342 00:14:59,305 --> 00:15:00,410 Basically, like whatever 343 00:15:00,623 --> 00:15:03,473 I could take their phones off them, I would, but I don't think that would fly 344 00:15:03,757 --> 00:15:04,180 Yeah. 345 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,210 Well, how do you get people to prepare for something like that? 346 00:15:07,210 --> 00:15:09,700 Because I feel like some people would be like, whoa, hold up. 347 00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:13,570 Like I guess, how much do they know ahead of time? 348 00:15:13,570 --> 00:15:14,620 Or like, how do you get 349 00:15:14,698 --> 00:15:14,988 well. 350 00:15:14,993 --> 00:15:17,963 Well, I've just revealed all of my secrets, so anyone that's, uh, that's, 351 00:15:17,963 --> 00:15:22,073 that's coming, uh, to my event after this is gonna know exactly what we're doing. 352 00:15:22,073 --> 00:15:22,283 No. 353 00:15:22,283 --> 00:15:25,343 Look, part of what I do is actually, I don't let the event itself, 354 00:15:25,343 --> 00:15:26,543 I don't publish the session. 355 00:15:26,558 --> 00:15:30,608 I don't publish anything about what's happening, who's like, they'll know 356 00:15:30,608 --> 00:15:32,258 who the speakers are beforehand. 357 00:15:32,528 --> 00:15:36,068 But one of the things is that I don't give them a blow by blow breakdown 358 00:15:36,068 --> 00:15:38,738 because I don't want people to selectively choose what they're coming to. 359 00:15:38,738 --> 00:15:42,458 It's like there's this allure of you gotta be in the room, and we set a lot of 360 00:15:42,458 --> 00:15:44,078 intention around that at the beginning. 361 00:15:44,288 --> 00:15:45,908 It's like you've chosen here for three days. 362 00:15:46,028 --> 00:15:47,618 Uh, you are, you are here with us. 363 00:15:47,618 --> 00:15:48,998 It's a Thursday, Friday, Saturday. 364 00:15:49,178 --> 00:15:50,018 You could be anywhere. 365 00:15:50,048 --> 00:15:50,708 Anywhere else. 366 00:15:50,708 --> 00:15:52,958 Let's make sure that you're actually present because you came because 367 00:15:52,958 --> 00:15:55,388 you wanted to make a million dollars or plus in one weekend. 368 00:15:55,688 --> 00:15:57,068 I'm gonna help you to do that. 369 00:15:57,158 --> 00:15:57,848 You gotta be here. 370 00:15:57,848 --> 00:15:59,078 You gotta fully participate. 371 00:15:59,198 --> 00:16:02,198 And also the people around you, you never know who you're gonna meet in that room. 372 00:16:02,738 --> 00:16:03,938 You never know who could be this. 373 00:16:03,938 --> 00:16:05,228 And I'm also not really squeamish. 374 00:16:05,228 --> 00:16:07,958 A lot of people are squeamish about people doing business in their rooms. 375 00:16:07,958 --> 00:16:10,028 They're like, it's about my offer and my offer running now. 376 00:16:10,508 --> 00:16:12,863 I'm the only person that's allowed to sell on my stage. 377 00:16:12,953 --> 00:16:17,513 However, um, I, I, want people, I do deal flow sessions on the last day 378 00:16:17,513 --> 00:16:20,003 where people can actually do deals with each other as well, because I want 'em 379 00:16:20,003 --> 00:16:23,243 to feel like, you know, that they're meeting the right who, even if it's 380 00:16:23,243 --> 00:16:27,923 not me, um, should be me, they will buy my stuff, but hey, like, like if the 381 00:16:27,923 --> 00:16:31,043 more the merrier, you know, like I'm, I'm, I'm quite an abundant mindset like 382 00:16:31,420 --> 00:16:31,510 you 383 00:16:31,570 --> 00:16:31,870 are. 384 00:16:31,930 --> 00:16:32,170 Yeah. 385 00:16:32,170 --> 00:16:33,310 No, I can, I mean, well. 386 00:16:34,270 --> 00:16:35,860 I mean, I Absolutely, you are. 387 00:16:35,860 --> 00:16:39,070 And there's, I know there's other things that we talked about where it's like an 388 00:16:39,070 --> 00:16:42,910 extension of the event can affect even way more people, so there's a bigger purpose. 389 00:16:42,910 --> 00:16:46,780 And that's, that's what I take from, you know, the, the little that we know about. 390 00:16:46,780 --> 00:16:49,690 You know, we've, we've met before and I did some research and all this stuff, and 391 00:16:49,690 --> 00:16:51,610 everything is wrapped around a big cause. 392 00:16:51,610 --> 00:16:55,720 It seems like, uh, around the events and the things you're doing, the mission, 393 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,900 the, I mean, your shirt says impact on it in big and bold, so there's a 394 00:16:58,900 --> 00:16:59,437 reason for 395 00:16:59,440 --> 00:16:59,800 that. 396 00:17:00,370 --> 00:17:00,730 Yeah. 397 00:17:00,998 --> 00:17:01,288 Yeah. 398 00:17:01,615 --> 00:17:04,885 Um, and you know, I, I saw there, lemme see, I'm pulling up the 399 00:17:04,885 --> 00:17:06,055 quote really quick, so, oh, yeah. 400 00:17:06,115 --> 00:17:06,355 All right. 401 00:17:06,355 --> 00:17:08,845 So there's a quote on your side. 402 00:17:08,845 --> 00:17:11,005 I don't know if this is always what you go by, but you said, 403 00:17:11,005 --> 00:17:14,275 what if every time we do business, something good happens in the world? 404 00:17:14,725 --> 00:17:15,145 So 405 00:17:15,533 --> 00:17:18,083 it's like tattooed on my mind. 406 00:17:18,443 --> 00:17:19,583 It's daily. 407 00:17:19,735 --> 00:17:20,935 the story behind that? 408 00:17:20,935 --> 00:17:21,140 I, I'm, 409 00:17:21,145 --> 00:17:21,835 I'm very 410 00:17:22,253 --> 00:17:26,393 yeah, so we partnered with a company called B one G one or buy one, give one. 411 00:17:26,393 --> 00:17:28,853 And they do help us with all of our philanthropic giving. 412 00:17:28,943 --> 00:17:33,263 Um, the backstory is, is when I was 10 years old, I ordained as a Buddhist monk. 413 00:17:33,503 --> 00:17:35,273 Uh, and I traveled to Burma. 414 00:17:35,303 --> 00:17:36,923 To me, it's now called mema. 415 00:17:37,253 --> 00:17:39,503 Uh, my, I was raised in a Buddhist household. 416 00:17:39,503 --> 00:17:42,113 My parents with a bunch of other hippies, took a particular strain of 417 00:17:42,113 --> 00:17:43,883 Buddhism from the east to the west. 418 00:17:43,883 --> 00:17:45,173 They built all of these temples. 419 00:17:45,173 --> 00:17:46,643 One was five minutes from my house. 420 00:17:47,063 --> 00:17:47,957 Gold plated. 421 00:17:48,113 --> 00:17:50,753 So I was, I was, I I was brought up in a religious family. 422 00:17:51,173 --> 00:17:52,613 Um, Manai got this opportunity. 423 00:17:52,613 --> 00:17:54,473 First time ever jumping on a commercial flight. 424 00:17:54,473 --> 00:17:57,293 Of course, I said yes, I wanted to do this thing, but we did 425 00:17:57,293 --> 00:17:58,643 this really interesting thing. 426 00:17:58,703 --> 00:18:01,733 Um, so monks are not supposed to have worldly possessions or 427 00:18:01,733 --> 00:18:02,993 money or anything like that. 428 00:18:02,993 --> 00:18:06,323 And so what they do is that they have a black bowl called an arms bowl. 429 00:18:06,323 --> 00:18:08,603 And this is literally what the Buddha did. 430 00:18:08,603 --> 00:18:11,183 He was a wandering aesthetic, uh, sorry, aesthetic. 431 00:18:11,453 --> 00:18:13,253 Um, he moved between towns. 432 00:18:13,718 --> 00:18:19,118 And what happened is that he relied on what's called Donna, which is in, in, 433 00:18:19,208 --> 00:18:20,978 in English terms charity essentially. 434 00:18:21,368 --> 00:18:24,218 Um, and people would come out and they would place things in the bowl like 435 00:18:24,218 --> 00:18:27,488 food or envelopes with money for the monastery and those sorts of things. 436 00:18:27,878 --> 00:18:31,988 So here we are in 1996 in one of the poorest countries in the world. 437 00:18:32,078 --> 00:18:35,366 It's in the mid middle of a military hunter regime, right? 438 00:18:35,828 --> 00:18:39,029 Where, the, the Westerners were not something that they had seen. 439 00:18:39,029 --> 00:18:41,459 White people were not something they'd seen in a long time in this country. 440 00:18:41,759 --> 00:18:45,449 And it was a huge deal that we were there and people were like celebrating in 441 00:18:45,449 --> 00:18:46,949 the streets and all this sort of stuff. 442 00:18:46,949 --> 00:18:50,399 And so we, um, we were doing an arms round, which is what 443 00:18:50,399 --> 00:18:52,049 monks do kind of every day. 444 00:18:52,049 --> 00:18:54,269 And we were walking down the street and people were lining 445 00:18:54,269 --> 00:18:55,319 the streets and everything. 446 00:18:55,709 --> 00:18:59,399 And uh, out of the corner of my eye, I caught this woman 447 00:18:59,399 --> 00:19:00,929 who was a few people back. 448 00:19:01,019 --> 00:19:02,339 Um, and she caught me. 449 00:19:02,339 --> 00:19:04,199 She smiled, and then she wandered to the front. 450 00:19:04,724 --> 00:19:07,784 And you know, as a monkey, you're not supposed to make eye contact. 451 00:19:07,784 --> 00:19:09,104 It's not supposed to be like you're begging. 452 00:19:09,104 --> 00:19:10,724 It's just like you are, you're receiving. 453 00:19:11,204 --> 00:19:14,414 Um, but anyway, I was 10 years old, so of course I look up at this woman, 454 00:19:14,414 --> 00:19:17,924 she smiles down at me and she and I had this really, really clear moment. 455 00:19:17,924 --> 00:19:19,664 It's so clear to me to this day. 456 00:19:20,084 --> 00:19:24,044 Um, one of the, like most, uh, one of those poignant memories I've had in my 457 00:19:24,044 --> 00:19:27,224 entire life, she was skin and bones. 458 00:19:27,524 --> 00:19:31,784 There was nothing to her, and yet she placed food into my bowl and. 459 00:19:32,159 --> 00:19:35,039 There was a part of me at the time, and I remember the thought process. 460 00:19:35,039 --> 00:19:36,629 It was, this is at 10 years old as well. 461 00:19:36,629 --> 00:19:39,363 So, um, I was like, this is not fair. 462 00:19:40,349 --> 00:19:41,249 And then I kept walking. 463 00:19:41,654 --> 00:19:45,224 what I've realized since is that that was my first experience of 464 00:19:45,224 --> 00:19:47,234 injustice and inequality in the world. 465 00:19:47,534 --> 00:19:50,114 And so since then I've kind of had this thing in high school I 466 00:19:50,114 --> 00:19:51,794 was like a social justice warrior. 467 00:19:51,794 --> 00:19:53,414 I raised money for charity and everything. 468 00:19:53,594 --> 00:19:56,564 Some stuff happened in my life that took me off that track. 469 00:19:56,714 --> 00:19:59,874 But when we came, when I came back into business, I suddenly, I had. 470 00:20:00,404 --> 00:20:05,024 All this money, and the money was good, but it felt a little bit empty. 471 00:20:05,594 --> 00:20:09,104 And so we, we, we, we ran this event called Impact. 472 00:20:09,104 --> 00:20:12,644 This was the branding for it in 2020 when we were locked down in Australia. 473 00:20:13,124 --> 00:20:16,184 And we'd, we'd recently met this company, B one, G one, 474 00:20:16,244 --> 00:20:18,374 uh, Paul and Masami who run it. 475 00:20:18,704 --> 00:20:22,274 And there's this, this idea like, what if every time we do business, 476 00:20:22,274 --> 00:20:23,564 something good happens in the world? 477 00:20:23,594 --> 00:20:26,834 So what they do is they embed micro giving into everyday business tasks. 478 00:20:27,104 --> 00:20:31,304 You send an email, a meal gets donated, you send a, um, something happens. 479 00:20:31,304 --> 00:20:34,154 A new client signs 10, 10 days of clean drinking water. 480 00:20:34,394 --> 00:20:37,424 And so what we focus on primarily now is clean drinking water. 481 00:20:37,424 --> 00:20:38,564 That's our primary thing. 482 00:20:38,654 --> 00:20:38,834 Um. 483 00:20:39,149 --> 00:20:42,419 2 billion people don't have access to a, to clean drinking water 484 00:20:42,419 --> 00:20:44,099 yet we are on a water giant. 485 00:20:44,099 --> 00:20:45,599 So it doesn't make sense to me. 486 00:20:45,599 --> 00:20:48,029 We have, we have the water, we just don't have the infrastructure. 487 00:20:48,329 --> 00:20:50,459 4 billion people don't have sanitation. 488 00:20:50,519 --> 00:20:52,679 Water is literal life, water. 489 00:20:52,679 --> 00:20:55,019 And then food is our next one because we need nutrients. 490 00:20:55,379 --> 00:20:58,229 And so, um, this statement, what if every time we do business, 491 00:20:58,229 --> 00:20:59,399 something good happens in the world? 492 00:20:59,399 --> 00:21:02,829 And so when we run our events, our participants are engaged in the process. 493 00:21:03,209 --> 00:21:07,019 Us, our participants are engaged in gamifying the event so that it's not 494 00:21:07,019 --> 00:21:09,929 just about us making money or them getting new clients and all that sort 495 00:21:09,929 --> 00:21:11,759 of stuff, but hey, we're doing business. 496 00:21:11,849 --> 00:21:13,109 Let's do some good at the same time. 497 00:21:13,109 --> 00:21:15,899 So every single time someone's touched, moved, inspired, they have a 498 00:21:15,899 --> 00:21:17,549 breakthrough, something cool happens. 499 00:21:17,699 --> 00:21:21,419 We stop the event, they get up and they share what it was, and then 500 00:21:21,419 --> 00:21:24,509 it triggers, say, for example, a week's worth of clean drinking water. 501 00:21:24,809 --> 00:21:27,059 And so with this event that we're doing in March. 502 00:21:27,629 --> 00:21:28,499 This event's crazy. 503 00:21:28,499 --> 00:21:30,449 It's got all of these 1 million references. 504 00:21:30,449 --> 00:21:32,939 So for the, for the people, it's one event, 1,000,001 weekend. 505 00:21:32,939 --> 00:21:34,319 That's what the forward facing thing. 506 00:21:34,979 --> 00:21:37,469 I have a personal goal, the time we're recording, this is September. 507 00:21:37,469 --> 00:21:39,929 I know this isn't being released till, um, till November. 508 00:21:39,929 --> 00:21:43,169 I have a personal, internal goal of, um, of, I'm gonna do this. 509 00:21:43,169 --> 00:21:46,379 I'm in a new country right now, so what I, what I've decided is like, 510 00:21:46,379 --> 00:21:48,299 let's, let's spice this up for myself. 511 00:21:48,479 --> 00:21:53,489 New country, zero following, no list, no money down. 512 00:21:53,759 --> 00:21:56,124 So I have a new account that I've set up with no following. 513 00:21:56,789 --> 00:22:01,049 I'm not allowed to use my email list, and I am not putting any of my own 514 00:22:01,049 --> 00:22:05,309 funds down to, to fund this event, and I'm documenting the whole process. 515 00:22:05,489 --> 00:22:08,279 And so what I'm aiming for is a million dollars worth of sponsorship 516 00:22:08,279 --> 00:22:12,629 by December nine, from December nine, and through March 19 when the event is, 517 00:22:12,629 --> 00:22:15,509 I'm selling 1000 tickets in 100 days. 518 00:22:15,779 --> 00:22:18,149 Which is a million dollars in ticket sales. 519 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,289 And then at the event itself, we're gonna set a new Guinness World Record 520 00:22:22,529 --> 00:22:27,149 by donating 1 million days of clean drinking water, uh, live at the 521 00:22:27,149 --> 00:22:28,709 event triggered by the audience. 522 00:22:28,709 --> 00:22:31,469 They'll have a counter on screen, they'll trigger it, and every single 523 00:22:31,469 --> 00:22:33,929 time they touch, moved and inspired, we'll donate a week worth of clean 524 00:22:33,929 --> 00:22:35,789 drinking water with a thousand attendees. 525 00:22:36,209 --> 00:22:39,359 I'm fairly confident we'll be able to hit it, and it just adds 526 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:40,379 a different element to the event, 527 00:22:40,441 --> 00:22:41,671 Oh, that's so cool. 528 00:22:41,671 --> 00:22:45,901 That's, well, and I'm just thinking as the event, it's just gonna spark 529 00:22:45,901 --> 00:22:49,411 engagement all the way through, and I guess what are, what are the. 530 00:22:49,951 --> 00:22:54,691 What are the things that would trigger this to, uh, to apply, like say a a week 531 00:22:54,691 --> 00:22:56,791 is, you know, a week of water is granted. 532 00:22:56,821 --> 00:22:59,221 What, what's the thing that gets to happen at the event 533 00:22:59,575 --> 00:23:02,365 My whole purpose in doing this is not just to be like, oh, Brody's doing this 534 00:23:02,365 --> 00:23:04,915 really, really cool thing, and like, look at him, he's a philanthropist. 535 00:23:05,185 --> 00:23:08,845 It's to inspire people to do better and to inspire people to think about different 536 00:23:08,845 --> 00:23:10,495 ways they can engage their audiences. 537 00:23:10,735 --> 00:23:14,155 And so the way in which it'll happen is at our virtual events, 538 00:23:14,155 --> 00:23:17,335 people type the word impact into the chat, and then we stop the event. 539 00:23:17,335 --> 00:23:18,985 We bring them up on screen, et cetera. 540 00:23:19,390 --> 00:23:23,980 F there's a technological challenge at the event, um, at a live event in that how do 541 00:23:23,980 --> 00:23:28,780 we get a counter up on screen to register live when somebody is touched, moved 542 00:23:28,780 --> 00:23:32,230 and inspired, they have a breakthrough or, um, they wanna do something cool. 543 00:23:32,350 --> 00:23:33,730 So I don't know what that trigger is yet. 544 00:23:33,730 --> 00:23:35,890 That's part of the next little while for me to figure that out. 545 00:23:35,890 --> 00:23:36,460 But we're gonna do it. 546 00:23:36,460 --> 00:23:38,350 There'll be some technological thing that we can do that'll 547 00:23:38,380 --> 00:23:39,370 make it really, really easy. 548 00:23:39,670 --> 00:23:42,730 Um, and then it's just gonna happen and it's gonna become this whole thing, the 549 00:23:42,730 --> 00:23:44,140 whole event, we're gonna see it go up. 550 00:23:44,140 --> 00:23:45,550 We're gonna celebrate it at the breaks. 551 00:23:45,550 --> 00:23:46,900 People are gonna, whatever. 552 00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:47,080 And. 553 00:23:47,885 --> 00:23:51,125 I've calculated that for a thousand people, um, to e 554 00:23:51,425 --> 00:23:52,535 every time they're triggered. 555 00:23:52,535 --> 00:23:57,095 If we do one week of clean drinking water, uh, each person needs to 556 00:23:57,095 --> 00:24:00,730 hit the trigger, uh, 20 times across the course of the weekend. 557 00:24:01,465 --> 00:24:05,245 I think that's very tangible for a thousand people to do that because I'm 558 00:24:05,245 --> 00:24:08,005 gonna ensure that they are touched, they're moved, they're inspired, they 559 00:24:08,005 --> 00:24:09,415 have breakthroughs, they're crying. 560 00:24:09,415 --> 00:24:12,445 They're like, they, they, the whole thing is designed around 561 00:24:12,445 --> 00:24:16,375 this whilst they're building out their event and so on and so forth. 562 00:24:16,705 --> 00:24:20,365 Um, I'm also gonna do, I've got a surprise around all of this as well, 563 00:24:20,365 --> 00:24:21,985 that will help us, help us get there. 564 00:24:21,985 --> 00:24:22,945 But I won't announce that 565 00:24:23,157 --> 00:24:23,367 Yeah. 566 00:24:23,367 --> 00:24:23,787 that's fair. 567 00:24:25,557 --> 00:24:29,187 Uh, I just, I, I'm just picturing it like in the motions, almost like 568 00:24:29,187 --> 00:24:31,827 people running to this button and like smashing it in the middle of 569 00:24:31,827 --> 00:24:32,847 the floor and everybody's like, ah, 570 00:24:33,957 --> 00:24:34,467 yeah, but 571 00:24:34,555 --> 00:24:35,845 That would be really, really cool. 572 00:24:35,845 --> 00:24:37,075 And yeah, but I also, 573 00:24:37,075 --> 00:24:37,495 because there's 574 00:24:37,497 --> 00:24:38,037 disruptive 575 00:24:38,065 --> 00:24:42,565 yeah, yeah, look, there's like a thousand people, and so I almost want them all 576 00:24:42,565 --> 00:24:44,215 to have their own personal triggers. 577 00:24:44,215 --> 00:24:46,975 I'm just not sure what that will be yet, but I'm sure that there's, Hey, if 578 00:24:46,975 --> 00:24:48,535 you're listening, is somebody out there? 579 00:24:48,535 --> 00:24:48,865 Yeah. 580 00:24:48,865 --> 00:24:51,655 I don't want them on their phones as well though, so hey, if you're listening and 581 00:24:51,655 --> 00:24:53,185 you've got a solution, please hit me up. 582 00:24:53,185 --> 00:24:54,972 I'd love to hear it so that we can make this happen. 583 00:24:55,272 --> 00:24:55,812 There you go. 584 00:24:55,812 --> 00:24:57,192 So that's why I wanted to ask about it. 585 00:24:57,612 --> 00:25:00,582 There's something, someone out there, a sponsor potentially, that could, 586 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:01,600 Yeah, that's right. 587 00:25:01,750 --> 00:25:02,680 Show me your tech. 588 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,670 I'll give you some space. 589 00:25:03,670 --> 00:25:04,300 Give you your money. 590 00:25:04,782 --> 00:25:05,262 There you go. 591 00:25:05,807 --> 00:25:10,067 Well, dude, I mean, what, what a hell of a challenge and putting yourself on 592 00:25:10,067 --> 00:25:14,327 the line of, of doing this with, you know, with a, with a fresh account, with 593 00:25:14,327 --> 00:25:18,827 no email list and you know, no, none of your own personal funds to basically, 594 00:25:19,067 --> 00:25:22,277 I mean, it, it puts your back against the wall, I would imagine, right? 595 00:25:22,277 --> 00:25:22,512 Like 596 00:25:23,065 --> 00:25:25,135 I am like terrified. 597 00:25:25,135 --> 00:25:27,595 I'm terrified because it's. 598 00:25:27,782 --> 00:25:28,082 It. 599 00:25:28,082 --> 00:25:29,072 Well, yeah. 600 00:25:29,072 --> 00:25:32,642 Look, so, so how this hap all this came about was I was at an event, 601 00:25:32,672 --> 00:25:36,332 uh, a few weeks back, a, a good friend icon Becca puts on an amazing 602 00:25:36,332 --> 00:25:37,862 event called Create a Hub Live. 603 00:25:37,982 --> 00:25:41,312 And in the middle of this event, I'm like, I'm sitting down and suddenly 604 00:25:41,372 --> 00:25:45,572 like I'm in a pool of sweat and I realize, I'm like, I have to leave. 605 00:25:45,632 --> 00:25:48,227 And I balled out the door, ran up to my room. 606 00:25:48,977 --> 00:25:53,117 And I was like shaking and I'm like, I realized something. 607 00:25:53,117 --> 00:25:56,027 And what had happened in 2020, I was supposed to be on the 608 00:25:56,027 --> 00:25:57,857 road for 36 weeks of the year. 609 00:25:58,097 --> 00:26:01,367 I actually came back from Tony Robbins house in March. 610 00:26:01,367 --> 00:26:02,777 I was in Sun Valley in Idaho. 611 00:26:02,777 --> 00:26:03,767 We had an event there. 612 00:26:04,067 --> 00:26:09,737 And then I left and I landed at Sydney Airport and then the next day, Australia 613 00:26:09,737 --> 00:26:11,207 shut down our borders for two years. 614 00:26:12,167 --> 00:26:15,257 I lost millions of dollars overnight because that was my breakout 615 00:26:15,257 --> 00:26:17,477 year in business where I was gonna move to the United States. 616 00:26:17,477 --> 00:26:20,387 I had 36 weeks of travel booked and it was gonna be it for me. 617 00:26:21,017 --> 00:26:24,797 And then that year, thankfully, like there's gifts in all of this, I ended up 618 00:26:24,797 --> 00:26:26,237 doing a virtual event later that year. 619 00:26:26,237 --> 00:26:28,007 I cleared my first million dollar event. 620 00:26:28,007 --> 00:26:30,347 It set up this pattern of virtual events for myself. 621 00:26:30,707 --> 00:26:34,277 But what I realized at this event with with Icon and everyone, I was 622 00:26:34,277 --> 00:26:37,067 like, hang on, when was the last time you did something big Brody? 623 00:26:37,367 --> 00:26:40,277 Like, you've got clients doing thousand plus people event. 624 00:26:40,742 --> 00:26:43,712 You've been on stage in front of 15,000 people at somebody 625 00:26:43,742 --> 00:26:46,322 else's event, where's yours? 626 00:26:46,952 --> 00:26:49,742 And I was like, I'm not living my own thing here. 627 00:26:49,742 --> 00:26:51,542 Like I'm not preaching the thing. 628 00:26:51,572 --> 00:26:55,712 I've done smaller intensives, but why am I doing this thing, 629 00:26:55,712 --> 00:26:56,732 this virtual event thing? 630 00:26:56,732 --> 00:26:59,972 And what I realized is that I just, I just fallen into a pattern. 631 00:27:00,332 --> 00:27:02,972 I'd fall into safety, but what I had noticed in the previous 632 00:27:02,972 --> 00:27:05,582 six months is my performance had started dropping at my own events. 633 00:27:05,582 --> 00:27:07,292 My clients were doing really, really well. 634 00:27:07,352 --> 00:27:10,532 Our portfolio partners, we do JVs with people, so there's, they're my 635 00:27:10,532 --> 00:27:11,792 events, they're doing really well. 636 00:27:11,912 --> 00:27:14,672 But my own personal events, I'm like, I'm not clearing a 637 00:27:14,672 --> 00:27:15,812 million dollar events anymore. 638 00:27:15,812 --> 00:27:19,262 And I started feeling really incongruous because that's like my whole brand. 639 00:27:19,862 --> 00:27:23,972 And so at, at this event, I like this, this, this, uh, come to 640 00:27:23,972 --> 00:27:26,252 non-denominational Jesus moment 641 00:27:27,154 --> 00:27:27,364 That's 642 00:27:27,542 --> 00:27:31,022 I was like, yeah, well yeah, I'm not religious, so I gotta be careful. 643 00:27:31,022 --> 00:27:37,472 Um, uh, so, so I had this moment and I'm like, okay, you have to change the game. 644 00:27:37,472 --> 00:27:41,222 You have to do something that's so unique and so powerful. 645 00:27:41,807 --> 00:27:45,767 Um, and so I literally, actually, I'm gonna just, if I can bring it up on, 646 00:27:45,827 --> 00:27:49,277 on my phone here, because I've, I've, I'm documenting this whole process now. 647 00:27:49,367 --> 00:27:53,687 And so, um, this, this event that I'm doing, um, I, I do, you know, 648 00:27:53,687 --> 00:27:57,497 those, uh, notepads that they have in the hotel room that no one ever uses 649 00:27:57,497 --> 00:27:58,312 with the little pens and everything? 650 00:27:58,414 --> 00:28:00,784 I always take 'em home because I feel like I use 'em at my desk, 651 00:28:01,247 --> 00:28:01,847 Well, there you go. 652 00:28:01,877 --> 00:28:02,267 Okay, cool. 653 00:28:02,267 --> 00:28:02,867 That's a good use. 654 00:28:03,047 --> 00:28:06,557 So, So, I wrote this thing down and it's there and it says, new 655 00:28:06,557 --> 00:28:08,147 country, no following, no list. 656 00:28:08,147 --> 00:28:09,857 1000 tickets, 100 days. 657 00:28:09,887 --> 00:28:11,447 It was August 17 at the time. 658 00:28:11,447 --> 00:28:16,037 I gave myself two weeks to like mentally figure it out, and then I was gonna go, 659 00:28:16,097 --> 00:28:19,847 boom, okay, I've got my 100 days to do my sponsors, and then all that sort of stuff. 660 00:28:20,207 --> 00:28:24,887 And, um, it just, it it, what it did, you're, you're right, it put my back 661 00:28:24,887 --> 00:28:28,277 against the wall, but I was in the room when I made the decision to do it. 662 00:28:28,612 --> 00:28:34,312 I remember, I, I got up off the seat, I turned around, I sat down 663 00:28:34,312 --> 00:28:37,522 again, and then I got up and I'm like, I don't know what to do. 664 00:28:37,762 --> 00:28:41,572 And so I called, I, I got on a call with my, uh, my chief of staff and 665 00:28:41,572 --> 00:28:42,772 I said, I think we're doing this. 666 00:28:42,772 --> 00:28:44,032 And she's like, finally. 667 00:28:44,542 --> 00:28:45,652 And I'm like, what? 668 00:28:45,772 --> 00:28:47,272 She's like, I have been waiting. 669 00:28:47,272 --> 00:28:49,762 You have just been, you've been playing such a small game. 670 00:28:50,032 --> 00:28:52,192 And so, um, it inspired out of that. 671 00:28:52,192 --> 00:28:53,812 And like, like I said, man, I'm terrified. 672 00:28:54,107 --> 00:28:56,717 I'm putting so much on the line for this, but one of the really cool 673 00:28:56,717 --> 00:28:59,747 things about this, the passion that I have for this, the way in which 674 00:28:59,747 --> 00:29:04,127 it's coming across and the narrative behind it, I'm finding people are 675 00:29:04,127 --> 00:29:05,987 falling over themselves to be involved. 676 00:29:05,987 --> 00:29:10,097 People want to be a part of this and this idea of this, this world record 677 00:29:10,157 --> 00:29:11,357 that's kind of coming in, I got that. 678 00:29:11,357 --> 00:29:14,927 I was literally riding a bike down, uh, on the west side, 679 00:29:14,927 --> 00:29:16,517 hi, highway here in Manhattan. 680 00:29:16,757 --> 00:29:19,277 One day I was riding down and I'm like, oh. 681 00:29:19,802 --> 00:29:20,342 Wow. 682 00:29:20,342 --> 00:29:23,522 No, that's like the, that's like the true, um, reflection. 683 00:29:23,522 --> 00:29:25,802 That's the true, I guess, what's the word? 684 00:29:25,862 --> 00:29:29,372 Um, it, it, it is the true culmination of all of my stuff around impact 685 00:29:29,372 --> 00:29:32,852 to do something powerful like this and what a great experience for the 686 00:29:32,852 --> 00:29:35,732 participants to be involved with something so much more meaningful than 687 00:29:35,732 --> 00:29:37,052 just come and learn how to make money. 688 00:29:37,397 --> 00:29:40,787 And then at that point, once I'd got that in, I was like, I am all in on this. 689 00:29:40,787 --> 00:29:42,557 I'm not wasting a moment on this. 690 00:29:42,557 --> 00:29:45,557 I'm documenting the whole process and I'm gonna enroll as many 691 00:29:45,557 --> 00:29:46,697 people as possible in this. 692 00:29:46,697 --> 00:29:51,317 So I'm, uh, I'm well on my way to my $1 million in sponsorship, looking for more. 693 00:29:51,317 --> 00:29:55,547 But, um, I'm, I, I'm quietly confident I'll hit it, that that one's not 694 00:29:55,547 --> 00:29:59,237 as important to me as the thousand tickets in a hundred days and helping 695 00:29:59,237 --> 00:30:00,737 people to do their own event stuff. 696 00:30:00,917 --> 00:30:04,487 Um, but the, the point of it is that I wanna prove to people that you can do it 697 00:30:04,487 --> 00:30:05,782 with no money down with the right vision. 698 00:30:06,162 --> 00:30:08,442 With the right enrollment skills, all that sort of stuff. 699 00:30:08,494 --> 00:30:09,004 Yeah. 700 00:30:09,277 --> 00:30:12,277 you mentioned impact, I'm looking at, at your, on your chest there. 701 00:30:13,417 --> 00:30:17,677 Do you think that's the missing link for a lot of folks when it comes to, maybe 702 00:30:17,677 --> 00:30:21,937 not just events, but like you said, it was empty earlier with money, you know, like 703 00:30:21,937 --> 00:30:26,557 with just the money aspect and you almost like, kind of lose touch of maybe the, the 704 00:30:26,557 --> 00:30:28,597 reason why you're even doing something. 705 00:30:28,919 --> 00:30:32,189 we, I know so many billionaires that are manifestly unhappy because 706 00:30:32,189 --> 00:30:34,469 they've got all of this money and they don't know what to do with it. 707 00:30:34,469 --> 00:30:36,839 Or they've exited from their businesses and they've got all this money. 708 00:30:36,839 --> 00:30:39,269 They're like, I missed the days when I was doing that sort of stuff. 709 00:30:39,299 --> 00:30:43,949 What I know to be true is that, um, you know that there's an old saying, um, 710 00:30:44,309 --> 00:30:46,709 whoever said money can't buy happiness. 711 00:30:46,739 --> 00:30:47,249 You've heard that, 712 00:30:47,249 --> 00:30:47,699 right? 713 00:30:47,999 --> 00:30:51,989 The, the follow on from that is simply hasn't given enough away. 714 00:30:52,079 --> 00:30:52,109 Okay, 715 00:30:52,501 --> 00:30:52,791 Yeah, 716 00:30:53,009 --> 00:30:56,279 whoever said money card by happiness simply hasn't given enough away. 717 00:30:56,519 --> 00:31:01,019 Something remarkable happens when you give, when you give freely as well. 718 00:31:01,019 --> 00:31:02,879 And here's some stats to back that up. 719 00:31:03,119 --> 00:31:06,749 So 80% of the world's population live on less than $10 per day. 720 00:31:07,349 --> 00:31:12,059 The top, uh, 75% of the world's wealth is concentrated in the top 20%. 721 00:31:12,209 --> 00:31:13,199 And two years ago. 722 00:31:13,199 --> 00:31:17,009 I know it's worse now, but the top 1% have five times more wealth 723 00:31:17,009 --> 00:31:18,214 than the bottom 80% combined. 724 00:31:18,884 --> 00:31:22,424 Now for a lot of people, you look at those numbers and I used to be a social justice 725 00:31:22,424 --> 00:31:24,074 warrior and I was like, screw the rich. 726 00:31:24,074 --> 00:31:25,754 Like rah, this is not cool. 727 00:31:25,964 --> 00:31:28,844 But what I know to be true now is that the 1%. 728 00:31:29,159 --> 00:31:31,649 Have figured out how to make the world work for them. 729 00:31:32,099 --> 00:31:34,679 And so I have this follow up statement, you know, the whole, um, 730 00:31:34,709 --> 00:31:37,259 what if every time we do business, something good happens in the world? 731 00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:41,039 There was this old futurist called Buckminster Fuller and he posited 732 00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:44,699 this idea of the world game, and he had this kind of statement, and I've 733 00:31:44,699 --> 00:31:47,849 modernized the statement and put it into a question into what Simon 734 00:31:47,849 --> 00:31:49,379 Sinek would call an infinite game. 735 00:31:49,739 --> 00:31:53,609 And it's what if we could make the world work for 100% of humanity 736 00:31:53,819 --> 00:31:58,499 100% of the time without damaging the environment or harming people? 737 00:31:59,427 --> 00:32:04,934 That is a really nice question to live in because I also know that for every $1 738 00:32:04,994 --> 00:32:10,094 that you invest below the poverty line, another $5 is created in the economy. 739 00:32:10,544 --> 00:32:14,534 'cause when you give cash freely without restriction, here's what people do. 740 00:32:14,534 --> 00:32:17,564 They invest in education, they start businesses, they save, they 741 00:32:17,564 --> 00:32:22,784 spend, and you have this circular kind of bottom up approach where 742 00:32:22,784 --> 00:32:24,119 there's not a zero sum game anymore. 743 00:32:24,389 --> 00:32:24,449 All. 744 00:32:24,749 --> 00:32:29,279 And so when you look at the 1%, instead of us fighting them, 745 00:32:29,279 --> 00:32:30,479 we look at them for clues. 746 00:32:30,479 --> 00:32:33,599 Now we go, okay, well they've managed to make the world work for them. 747 00:32:33,899 --> 00:32:36,449 Some of them have damaged the environment and harmed people. 748 00:32:36,779 --> 00:32:37,379 Sure. 749 00:32:37,649 --> 00:32:41,189 But there are some clues around how to make the world work for you. 750 00:32:41,339 --> 00:32:44,309 And then by extension that people that, first of all, you love the new 751 00:32:44,309 --> 00:32:46,019 communities and then the wider world. 752 00:32:46,409 --> 00:32:49,979 So the foundation that we are setting up as part of a larger project we're doing 753 00:32:49,979 --> 00:32:52,634 in space is called one Down 99 to Go. 754 00:32:53,146 --> 00:32:53,356 Hmm. 755 00:32:53,924 --> 00:32:57,374 At Apple, we used to have this statement when Apple had a 1% share 756 00:32:57,374 --> 00:33:02,144 of the personal computer market, um, that they were one down and 99 to go 757 00:33:02,144 --> 00:33:03,614 in terms of getting that share, right? 758 00:33:03,614 --> 00:33:06,104 And so it used to be this rallying cry and I've like kind of co-opted 759 00:33:06,104 --> 00:33:07,394 and go, okay, cool, that's humanity. 760 00:33:07,394 --> 00:33:09,044 We're one down and 99 to go. 761 00:33:09,614 --> 00:33:11,444 To answer your question in a more direct. 762 00:33:12,204 --> 00:33:16,284 Yes, I believe that everyone is in business, gets into business for 763 00:33:16,284 --> 00:33:19,014 good initially, first for themselves. 764 00:33:19,014 --> 00:33:21,654 They're like, I want to create a better life for myself and my family. 765 00:33:21,774 --> 00:33:24,744 And every single time I have an event, I ask people Why you got into, 766 00:33:24,744 --> 00:33:26,004 into business in the first place? 767 00:33:26,214 --> 00:33:30,204 95, 90 Actually probably 99% of people say, I want to have 768 00:33:30,204 --> 00:33:31,464 an impact on people's lives. 769 00:33:31,854 --> 00:33:33,924 Um, and which is great. 770 00:33:33,984 --> 00:33:36,646 And, and it's that few people say, I wanna make money also really, really cool. 771 00:33:36,684 --> 00:33:36,924 Right. 772 00:33:36,946 --> 00:33:37,156 Yeah. 773 00:33:37,530 --> 00:33:40,230 what happens along the way is we get so caught in the weeds, 774 00:33:40,470 --> 00:33:41,730 and I'm guilty of this as well. 775 00:33:41,910 --> 00:33:45,090 We get so caught in the weeds of the daily nationalisms of our business. 776 00:33:45,090 --> 00:33:46,620 Where's that next lead coming from? 777 00:33:46,620 --> 00:33:49,140 Where's the, where's that next check coming from? 778 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,910 Uh, this system is broken down. 779 00:33:50,910 --> 00:33:54,886 All this sort of stuff that we lose sight of the biggest, the bigger picture. 780 00:33:55,830 --> 00:34:00,930 We are in this planet for a very finite period of time. 781 00:34:01,260 --> 00:34:04,350 You know that if we were to put all of history. 782 00:34:04,770 --> 00:34:08,790 13.8 billion years into a 24 hour block. 783 00:34:08,820 --> 00:34:10,140 That was history, right? 784 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,980 The time that you and I occupy on this little speck of dust 785 00:34:13,980 --> 00:34:15,120 floating around a ball of gas. 786 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,480 And this infinitely expanding universe is literally one, 1000000000000th 787 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:19,590 of a millisecond to midnight. 788 00:34:19,590 --> 00:34:21,150 We're here for like a blip, right? 789 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:26,070 So given the choice between living a life of mediocrity and following 790 00:34:26,070 --> 00:34:30,120 someone else's path, or living a life of life of true impact and meaning. 791 00:34:30,630 --> 00:34:34,260 I want to know that my contribution to the planet far outlives me. 792 00:34:34,410 --> 00:34:35,820 I want a million year vision. 793 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,950 I want this thing that kind of pulls me forward. 794 00:34:37,980 --> 00:34:41,541 One of my keynote speeches is around the million year vision and and 795 00:34:41,541 --> 00:34:44,421 look, here's what's really important about that is that, you know, most, 796 00:34:44,421 --> 00:34:45,501 some people have a one year vision. 797 00:34:45,501 --> 00:34:46,551 Some people have a 10 year vision. 798 00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,941 When I ask this in my keynotes, who here has a 1000 year vision? 799 00:34:50,211 --> 00:34:51,141 No one puts their hand up. 800 00:34:51,141 --> 00:34:52,401 10,000. No one puts their hand up. 801 00:34:52,401 --> 00:34:53,121 Million year vision. 802 00:34:53,121 --> 00:34:54,591 I'm the only person to put my hand up. 803 00:34:55,176 --> 00:34:59,586 And people, people like, like whenever you just, I'll ask you a question. 804 00:34:59,856 --> 00:35:02,886 When you set a one year vision or a goal, what's the first thing 805 00:35:02,886 --> 00:35:04,266 that you kind of do after that? 806 00:35:04,689 --> 00:35:09,819 I, I, well definitely wanna write it down and, and, and set some, oh, I 807 00:35:09,819 --> 00:35:11,319 like to work backwards, you know, so 808 00:35:11,512 --> 00:35:11,872 Yep. 809 00:35:11,902 --> 00:35:12,322 Okay. 810 00:35:13,162 --> 00:35:13,972 Figure out the plan. 811 00:35:13,972 --> 00:35:14,332 Right? 812 00:35:14,422 --> 00:35:16,762 So you start planning around it and you get into it, and then it's 813 00:35:16,762 --> 00:35:17,662 like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. 814 00:35:17,662 --> 00:35:18,357 You're working towards it, right? 815 00:35:18,967 --> 00:35:23,167 But when you ask somebody to, to, to do like, what's your million year vision? 816 00:35:23,197 --> 00:35:25,237 They're like, why would I do that? 817 00:35:25,447 --> 00:35:29,437 And that's the clue instead of the tyranny of how we get stuck 818 00:35:29,437 --> 00:35:33,577 in the question of why, which is far more powerful than a how. 819 00:35:33,577 --> 00:35:38,137 Because the why gives us more meaning, it gives us more power, and it gives 820 00:35:38,137 --> 00:35:39,452 us more agency over the future. 821 00:35:40,057 --> 00:35:41,737 We sit in this infinite thing of why? 822 00:35:41,767 --> 00:35:42,607 Why would I do this? 823 00:35:42,607 --> 00:35:43,687 What would be possible? 824 00:35:43,897 --> 00:35:46,777 What if the world could work for a hundred percent of humanity 100% 825 00:35:46,777 --> 00:35:49,087 of the time without damaging the environment or harming people? 826 00:35:49,477 --> 00:35:53,887 That's a really unique position to be in as opposed to being stuck in the weeds 827 00:35:53,887 --> 00:35:55,387 of where's the next lead coming from? 828 00:35:55,387 --> 00:35:56,527 All of those sorts of things. 829 00:35:56,797 --> 00:36:00,367 It becomes this thing that kind of pulls and propels you forward. 830 00:36:00,607 --> 00:36:02,947 Now, for myself, am I perfect at this? 831 00:36:03,067 --> 00:36:03,937 Hell no. 832 00:36:04,177 --> 00:36:07,687 I've had a really stressful day today, but getting on here and talking about 833 00:36:07,687 --> 00:36:08,252 it, and this is the other thing. 834 00:36:08,902 --> 00:36:12,472 You gotta preach it, like preach it from the rooftops, what you're doing, 835 00:36:12,712 --> 00:36:16,822 because I guarantee you I'm gonna leave this call today far more energized 836 00:36:16,822 --> 00:36:20,662 than I was at any point throughout today when things were on fire and I 837 00:36:20,662 --> 00:36:21,532 was pulling my 838 00:36:21,532 --> 00:36:22,012 hair out. 839 00:36:23,139 --> 00:36:24,939 I had fires going on before this too, 840 00:36:25,192 --> 00:36:26,602 Yeah, 841 00:36:26,619 --> 00:36:30,489 Well, and, and so how would you get yourself, uh, and maybe not you, 842 00:36:30,489 --> 00:36:34,419 but if you were to think like other folks or people you advise like at. 843 00:36:34,794 --> 00:36:38,664 What, you know, let's say they have this vision, they, they leave your event and 844 00:36:38,664 --> 00:36:42,654 they have, they, now they're starting to think of this 1 million year vision. 845 00:36:42,954 --> 00:36:45,084 Uh, how do they keep the vision strong? 846 00:36:45,084 --> 00:36:48,624 Like, how do they always have that, that way to propel themselves 847 00:36:48,624 --> 00:36:50,544 further when things get stressful? 848 00:36:50,574 --> 00:36:50,784 Like, 849 00:36:50,784 --> 00:36:52,074 what's, what do you do? 850 00:36:52,373 --> 00:36:55,913 so I have this statement In our business, we always come back to impact. 851 00:36:56,828 --> 00:36:58,688 We always come back to impact. 852 00:36:58,928 --> 00:37:02,438 One of my old mentors, Taki Moore, he said, fix nervous with service. 853 00:37:03,218 --> 00:37:04,688 Fix, nervous with service. 854 00:37:04,838 --> 00:37:07,838 And so when things, shit, say hitting the fan and all those things going up, 855 00:37:07,838 --> 00:37:10,778 the best thing you can do to get out of your head and get momentum is to get 856 00:37:10,778 --> 00:37:13,838 in the service of other people, whether it's clients, whether it's whatever. 857 00:37:14,108 --> 00:37:16,718 So when you think about building out your mission, take one step 858 00:37:16,718 --> 00:37:19,808 towards it, take one step towards it, that's going to excite you. 859 00:37:20,048 --> 00:37:22,538 I got on a call with somebody earlier today that I'm trying to bring on 860 00:37:22,538 --> 00:37:25,778 as a sponsor for the event, and I was having a shitty day beforehand. 861 00:37:26,138 --> 00:37:28,808 And then I explained everything I've explained to you about the event, like 862 00:37:28,808 --> 00:37:30,188 the challenge and all that sort of stuff. 863 00:37:30,188 --> 00:37:33,848 And by the end of it I was like, oh, like hell yeah, I've got this. 864 00:37:33,848 --> 00:37:34,418 Hell yeah. 865 00:37:34,598 --> 00:37:36,008 Screw this other stuff for my day. 866 00:37:36,008 --> 00:37:37,028 This is really awesome. 867 00:37:37,478 --> 00:37:40,898 So the other part of this is for people is to verbalize the crap out of it, 868 00:37:40,898 --> 00:37:43,868 because when it comes out of your mouth, it's no longer just an idea. 869 00:37:43,868 --> 00:37:44,588 It's a plan. 870 00:37:44,795 --> 00:37:45,275 Yeah. 871 00:37:45,543 --> 00:37:46,443 die, right? 872 00:37:46,443 --> 00:37:47,678 Plans get fulfilled. 873 00:37:48,453 --> 00:37:53,433 And I really love this, this concept of, you know, like the, this idea of 874 00:37:53,433 --> 00:37:58,983 this million year vision is so potent because it removes this where people get 875 00:37:58,983 --> 00:38:01,263 stuck and it's just like, let's do this. 876 00:38:01,263 --> 00:38:02,163 This is insane. 877 00:38:02,523 --> 00:38:05,013 The other piece I would also say about this is that if you're getting 878 00:38:05,013 --> 00:38:08,013 stuck, then you're gotta look at the environment that you're in, two parts 879 00:38:08,013 --> 00:38:11,223 to your environment, your inputs, and then the people around you. 880 00:38:11,403 --> 00:38:13,143 Inputs meaning what are you consuming? 881 00:38:13,743 --> 00:38:15,123 Uh, what are you consuming online? 882 00:38:15,453 --> 00:38:18,663 Um, I, I don't look at other people's social media. 883 00:38:19,083 --> 00:38:20,613 I do not look at my competitors. 884 00:38:20,613 --> 00:38:24,453 I do not look at, uh, I do not look at, I, I occasionally get sucked 885 00:38:24,453 --> 00:38:27,303 into some political stuff, which is really bad because it's such a 886 00:38:27,303 --> 00:38:28,713 toxic environment at the moment. 887 00:38:29,133 --> 00:38:31,563 But I try to avoid all of that because what's happening on the 888 00:38:31,563 --> 00:38:35,253 social media is that people are hijacking your brain and hijacking 889 00:38:35,253 --> 00:38:36,633 your attention for their own game. 890 00:38:36,633 --> 00:38:40,053 Now, am I hijacking everyone's attention for my own game right now? 891 00:38:40,113 --> 00:38:40,638 Absolutely. 892 00:38:41,103 --> 00:38:41,343 Right. 893 00:38:41,343 --> 00:38:42,933 And I'm shameless about it. 894 00:38:43,383 --> 00:38:47,013 And I need to protect my energy so that I can like stay on mission. 895 00:38:47,013 --> 00:38:49,713 We call it being on mission twenty four seven three sixty five. 896 00:38:50,013 --> 00:38:51,543 There's no rest with this sort of stuff. 897 00:38:51,753 --> 00:38:54,183 This, this is something much, much bigger than you. 898 00:38:54,543 --> 00:38:57,543 Um, I also just wanna put a little bit of a caveat in here for people. 899 00:38:57,858 --> 00:38:58,818 I'm crazy. 900 00:38:58,848 --> 00:39:00,828 I know that I'm certifiable. 901 00:39:01,008 --> 00:39:05,148 Cameron Harold did a, um, a did a a, a YouTube video once and 902 00:39:05,148 --> 00:39:06,948 he said all CEOs are bipolar. 903 00:39:06,948 --> 00:39:10,218 And he listed off all the different things that CEOs have that makes them bipolar. 904 00:39:10,218 --> 00:39:10,878 I'm bipolar. 905 00:39:11,585 --> 00:39:12,425 I think we're all 906 00:39:12,468 --> 00:39:12,708 yeah, 907 00:39:12,940 --> 00:39:13,830 it's, we're 908 00:39:13,830 --> 00:39:14,030 all there. 909 00:39:14,328 --> 00:39:14,808 right? 910 00:39:15,018 --> 00:39:17,328 And so, um, but, but like, I'm crazy. 911 00:39:17,358 --> 00:39:18,828 I have these really, really big things. 912 00:39:19,248 --> 00:39:22,488 Your million year vision doesn't need to be as expansive as mine. 913 00:39:22,728 --> 00:39:25,878 The fact that I'm taking 280 people up to space. 914 00:39:26,253 --> 00:39:31,083 To run an event that's gonna be broadcast for 24 hours to raise $10 billion for 915 00:39:31,083 --> 00:39:34,173 charity does not need to be your vision. 916 00:39:34,743 --> 00:39:35,823 Notice how I just dropped that in 917 00:39:35,870 --> 00:39:39,230 Yeah, I had a note about that, but I was, I was wondering if you'd bring 918 00:39:39,303 --> 00:39:39,663 yeah. 919 00:39:39,993 --> 00:39:43,623 Look, look, your mission, your vision could be as simply as I 920 00:39:43,623 --> 00:39:45,333 want to provide for my family. 921 00:39:45,963 --> 00:39:48,243 I want my family's legacy to live on. 922 00:39:48,273 --> 00:39:50,373 I'm so like all the power to you. 923 00:39:50,403 --> 00:39:52,383 That's powerful, right? 924 00:39:52,593 --> 00:39:54,543 I just think a little bit differently and that's my thing. 925 00:39:55,430 --> 00:39:55,640 Well, it 926 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,120 could be the 1 million year legacy of your family. 927 00:39:59,390 --> 00:40:00,740 I mean, like, however it shapes up. 928 00:40:00,740 --> 00:40:01,850 You can, you can make it bigger. 929 00:40:01,850 --> 00:40:02,570 Expand, but 930 00:40:02,628 --> 00:40:03,138 Yeah. 931 00:40:03,468 --> 00:40:03,738 Yeah. 932 00:40:03,738 --> 00:40:05,298 And there's one other thing as well. 933 00:40:05,298 --> 00:40:09,198 So this is, this is why events are also infinitely more powerful than anything 934 00:40:09,198 --> 00:40:10,608 else you can do in the marketplace. 935 00:40:10,968 --> 00:40:13,638 So internet marketing strategies have been around for 25 years. 936 00:40:13,643 --> 00:40:16,368 They're designed to hijack your brain on these devices that I used 937 00:40:16,368 --> 00:40:18,558 to help sell part of the problem. 938 00:40:18,918 --> 00:40:19,248 Um. 939 00:40:19,878 --> 00:40:20,358 Ironic. 940 00:40:20,358 --> 00:40:20,808 Yeah. 941 00:40:20,988 --> 00:40:24,708 Um, and then people have been connecting at gathering, right? 942 00:40:24,738 --> 00:40:26,868 Like, I've got a book over there called The Art of Gathering. 943 00:40:27,138 --> 00:40:31,368 Um, we've been, we've been basically gathering together as a tribal species 944 00:40:31,368 --> 00:40:34,878 to connect, to communicate and engage in commerce for about 300,000 years, ever 945 00:40:34,878 --> 00:40:36,318 since we were chimps, even before then. 946 00:40:36,318 --> 00:40:38,388 Chimps were like always communal as well. 947 00:40:38,838 --> 00:40:40,338 Um, and so. 948 00:40:40,698 --> 00:40:45,228 We have this really unique ability when we are live on stage at an event. 949 00:40:45,618 --> 00:40:46,428 Couple things happen. 950 00:40:46,428 --> 00:40:49,548 First of all, when you're in person with someone, your magnetic field's 951 00:40:49,548 --> 00:40:51,138 intertwined and there is a connection. 952 00:40:51,138 --> 00:40:53,118 They've actually shown this on like infrared, I dunno if 953 00:40:53,118 --> 00:40:54,378 it's infrared, but with tech 954 00:40:54,542 --> 00:40:54,738 right? 955 00:40:55,008 --> 00:40:55,188 there. 956 00:40:55,338 --> 00:40:57,888 That, yeah, yeah, All that sort of stuff. 957 00:40:57,918 --> 00:41:01,278 And, but we, what we also know is that every single word that comes out of 958 00:41:01,278 --> 00:41:05,208 your mouth, every single word that comes out of your mouth has an impact 959 00:41:05,208 --> 00:41:06,678 on the person that is in the room. 960 00:41:07,308 --> 00:41:09,138 Um, I went to a Tony Bins event. 961 00:41:09,138 --> 00:41:11,568 I heard the right message that I was in the room at the right 962 00:41:11,568 --> 00:41:12,738 time, heard the right message. 963 00:41:12,738 --> 00:41:16,398 That completely altered my perspective on life that made all of this possible. 964 00:41:16,848 --> 00:41:21,438 And so I have a deep reverence for the art and science of speaking and selling 965 00:41:21,438 --> 00:41:24,678 from stage because you literally hold the audience in the palm of your hand. 966 00:41:25,068 --> 00:41:26,255 It's a big responsibility. 967 00:41:26,658 --> 00:41:30,108 What happens when those words come out of your mouth is that you're literally 968 00:41:30,108 --> 00:41:32,238 rewiring their neural pathways. 969 00:41:32,448 --> 00:41:34,038 They're having a spark, they're having an insight. 970 00:41:34,833 --> 00:41:39,573 Our sole job as a species, as a species, right down to biology 971 00:41:39,783 --> 00:41:41,523 is to evolve the human race. 972 00:41:41,523 --> 00:41:41,943 That's it. 973 00:41:41,943 --> 00:41:42,543 That's what we are. 974 00:41:42,543 --> 00:41:44,253 That's literally why we are alive. 975 00:41:44,793 --> 00:41:47,253 And so when I think about this in terms of the millionaire vision and 976 00:41:47,253 --> 00:41:51,813 my big crazy ones and whatnot, if what you are doing is meaningful to 977 00:41:51,813 --> 00:41:53,973 you, no one else can tell you what. 978 00:41:54,033 --> 00:41:55,773 It's just like the concept of integrity. 979 00:41:55,773 --> 00:41:57,663 I hate when people say, oh, you're so out of integrity. 980 00:41:57,663 --> 00:41:59,463 I'm like, you don't know what that person's integrity 981 00:41:59,463 --> 00:41:59,733 is. 982 00:42:00,633 --> 00:42:02,433 I don't know what your, I don't know what your mission 983 00:42:02,433 --> 00:42:03,333 is and what's important to you. 984 00:42:03,948 --> 00:42:07,968 But so long as what you are doing is meaningful and impactful for you, you 985 00:42:07,968 --> 00:42:14,178 are literally rewiring your biological code in your neural pathways, your DNA, 986 00:42:14,178 --> 00:42:19,368 by pursuing that thing and taking that one step after one step after one step. 987 00:42:19,608 --> 00:42:24,108 So no matter what the vision is, you are powerful beyond measure. 988 00:42:24,648 --> 00:42:27,408 Um, the, there's a great quote from one of my former clients, 989 00:42:27,438 --> 00:42:28,578 uh, Marianne Williamson. 990 00:42:28,578 --> 00:42:30,438 She, uh, there's a photo of us there. 991 00:42:30,783 --> 00:42:33,813 Um, she, I helped her design her announcement that she 992 00:42:33,813 --> 00:42:34,773 was running for president. 993 00:42:34,773 --> 00:42:38,043 We did some, I, I searched Washington DC high and low for a 994 00:42:38,043 --> 00:42:39,363 venue for her to announce with her. 995 00:42:39,693 --> 00:42:43,953 Um, but she has this book called A Return to Love and she says, our greatest fear 996 00:42:44,103 --> 00:42:48,453 is not that we are inadequate, but it's that we are powerful beyond measure. 997 00:42:49,143 --> 00:42:51,993 It is our light, not our dark, that most scares us. 998 00:42:51,993 --> 00:42:55,173 And, and I'm paraphrasing here, but she says something along the 999 00:42:55,173 --> 00:42:57,213 lines of, who, how are you to be? 1000 00:42:57,243 --> 00:43:02,073 Like, we say, who am I to be powerful, beautiful, um, uh, uh, you know, 1001 00:43:02,133 --> 00:43:03,993 and, and all these lovely adjectives. 1002 00:43:04,053 --> 00:43:08,403 And then she says, truthfully, who are you not to be those things. 1003 00:43:09,213 --> 00:43:13,533 And uh, when I hear all of that, I go, yeah, like every single 1004 00:43:13,533 --> 00:43:15,543 person has power in their own way. 1005 00:43:15,813 --> 00:43:17,553 Everyone has their own vision. 1006 00:43:18,003 --> 00:43:22,443 And that power is something that you uniquely hold, and so go forth with it. 1007 00:43:22,503 --> 00:43:23,313 Do the thing. 1008 00:43:23,613 --> 00:43:27,153 Who cares what anyone else is, is thinking and saying, and just 1009 00:43:27,153 --> 00:43:30,063 by your presence on this planet, just know that you have power. 1010 00:43:30,243 --> 00:43:33,033 You have a one, one in 1 trillion chance of being alive. 1011 00:43:33,033 --> 00:43:34,533 Like make some, make some use of it. 1012 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:35,700 ain't that the truth? 1013 00:43:35,700 --> 00:43:38,880 I mean, there's so many like wild stats when you start to put perspective 1014 00:43:38,910 --> 00:43:39,360 in, 1015 00:43:39,780 --> 00:43:43,410 in front of someone or yourself as that reminder, that constant 1016 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:44,365 reminder that like, hey. 1017 00:43:45,225 --> 00:43:47,265 If any of you know it, it's, it's all about you. 1018 00:43:47,265 --> 00:43:50,895 You have to take charge of this thing, but have that vision so 1019 00:43:50,895 --> 00:43:54,195 you know exactly where, at least the direction you're headed. 1020 00:43:54,195 --> 00:43:54,405 Right. 1021 00:43:54,405 --> 00:43:57,645 You're not gonna know the full plan because the Y is so big. 1022 00:43:57,705 --> 00:44:01,425 Like it's an infinite game, like you said, Simon Sinek, I mean, it's, it's, it's all 1023 00:44:01,425 --> 00:44:03,945 wrapped up in there now just to kind of. 1024 00:44:04,335 --> 00:44:05,985 Start to close this one out. 1025 00:44:05,985 --> 00:44:08,865 You know, you mentioned AI and you're redefining a lot of everything that 1026 00:44:08,865 --> 00:44:10,635 you're doing in your events with ai. 1027 00:44:11,175 --> 00:44:15,765 Uh, my brain goes to like, so are virtual events, like, are they just 1028 00:44:15,765 --> 00:44:20,655 not as important as the in-person events because of human connection? 1029 00:44:20,955 --> 00:44:25,425 I dunno, some thoughts there or just other ways you see AI and this, this 1030 00:44:25,815 --> 00:44:30,615 technology that's just rapidly evolving, like how is that gonna shape how events 1031 00:44:30,825 --> 00:44:32,775 and just human connection are working? 1032 00:44:33,432 --> 00:44:35,482 Yeah, so I don't think virtual events are dead. 1033 00:44:35,482 --> 00:44:37,762 I just don't like them anymore 'cause I've done too many of them. 1034 00:44:38,062 --> 00:44:38,332 I know. 1035 00:44:38,332 --> 00:44:40,252 I've got lots of clients that are very successful. 1036 00:44:40,252 --> 00:44:43,282 I have a client that had an event with 900 people on it, which was three 1037 00:44:43,282 --> 00:44:46,252 times more sales calls than his team did in the previous three months. 1038 00:44:46,252 --> 00:44:46,522 Right. 1039 00:44:46,702 --> 00:44:47,872 They're really powerful. 1040 00:44:47,872 --> 00:44:49,552 They're low overhead, all of that sort of stuff. 1041 00:44:49,552 --> 00:44:53,962 Of, but when I think about what human beings desperately want and need right 1042 00:44:53,962 --> 00:44:55,642 now, it's that in-person connection. 1043 00:44:56,182 --> 00:45:00,562 And I think that we need people to be at the forefront and the vanguard of this 1044 00:45:00,892 --> 00:45:03,562 as we are moving into this AI world. 1045 00:45:03,742 --> 00:45:07,119 And if you're not using AI to enhance the experience, then you're done. 1046 00:45:07,419 --> 00:45:07,869 yeah. 1047 00:45:08,362 --> 00:45:08,992 Uh, right. 1048 00:45:08,992 --> 00:45:12,112 So like a couple of examples of how we are using this to support. 1049 00:45:12,112 --> 00:45:16,672 So we've fed all of our stuff, all of my ip, every time I've 1050 00:45:16,672 --> 00:45:18,412 spoken on stage into our ai. 1051 00:45:18,727 --> 00:45:21,667 It has a knowledge bank that understands how I think really, really 1052 00:45:21,667 --> 00:45:22,927 clearly, and all of the strategies. 1053 00:45:23,302 --> 00:45:27,082 We've also fed now over a thousand hours of Steve Jobs selling from 1054 00:45:27,082 --> 00:45:30,772 stage into that, I got, I got a hold of some incredible footage. 1055 00:45:31,012 --> 00:45:35,482 Um, and it's now trained, or it's being trained right now, it's training, it's got 1056 00:45:35,482 --> 00:45:40,762 its training wheels on, on, like helping to craft speeches and talks and pitches. 1057 00:45:40,762 --> 00:45:41,662 Like Steve Jobs. 1058 00:45:41,842 --> 00:45:45,022 There was very unique things that he did with language embedded commands 1059 00:45:45,322 --> 00:45:49,492 and stuff like that, that to a casual observer, it looked like just 1060 00:45:49,492 --> 00:45:51,472 a dude in a, you know, in a, um. 1061 00:45:51,952 --> 00:45:53,932 Uh, there's a quote actually in a turtleneck. 1062 00:45:53,932 --> 00:45:54,142 Yeah. 1063 00:45:54,142 --> 00:45:56,902 But what it was, was like a carefully created sales pitch. 1064 00:45:57,112 --> 00:46:00,022 This person says it's a carefully created product, demonstration, sales 1065 00:46:00,022 --> 00:46:05,572 pitch, um, corporate cheerleading, um, uh, uh, something else in a dash of 1066 00:46:05,572 --> 00:46:07,372 religious revival for good measure. 1067 00:46:07,642 --> 00:46:08,902 And it's true, right? 1068 00:46:08,902 --> 00:46:10,612 And so we've tried to get that into RA. 1069 00:46:11,227 --> 00:46:16,657 What it's allowed us to do is go from ideation from, I wanna put on 1070 00:46:16,657 --> 00:46:21,007 an event to create an entire ideal client profile for the person that 1071 00:46:21,007 --> 00:46:23,467 we want at that event in seconds. 1072 00:46:23,677 --> 00:46:27,562 Then from that, ask a couple of questions about the event that we want put on. 1073 00:46:28,267 --> 00:46:31,927 And about the different features of the event to produce the copy for a landing 1074 00:46:31,927 --> 00:46:35,047 page that can then be programmed into GHL. 1075 00:46:35,047 --> 00:46:37,717 And we're trying to get it to a position where it gets programmed in like, 1076 00:46:37,717 --> 00:46:39,487 sorry, A CRM, like GHL or whatever. 1077 00:46:39,637 --> 00:46:43,657 So it gets programmed in automatically and then it designs all of the scripts 1078 00:46:43,657 --> 00:46:45,397 for ads, all of that sort of stuff. 1079 00:46:45,642 --> 00:46:49,032 My time to first value with our clients, and this is why I can get 1080 00:46:49,032 --> 00:46:52,872 'em to build their event live on day one with us is literally 10 minutes. 1081 00:46:52,872 --> 00:46:56,562 I can have an entire event built out in probably about an hour, 1082 00:46:56,562 --> 00:46:59,382 the marketing in about 10 to 15 minutes with the right inputs. 1083 00:46:59,712 --> 00:47:02,142 Um, and so it's trained on all of this sort of stuff. 1084 00:47:02,142 --> 00:47:04,272 And so what that means for our clients is great. 1085 00:47:04,392 --> 00:47:06,852 It means that instead of all of the hard yards now, I still make our 1086 00:47:06,852 --> 00:47:10,092 clients watch the videos and learn the stuff because it'll help them 1087 00:47:10,092 --> 00:47:12,042 to get better outputs from the ai. 1088 00:47:12,557 --> 00:47:16,097 But it does enhance everything that we're doing to the point that 1089 00:47:16,097 --> 00:47:20,837 I have a landing page to a free event that's converting at 47.5% 1090 00:47:21,124 --> 00:47:21,339 Woo. 1091 00:47:21,609 --> 00:47:22,209 All right. 1092 00:47:22,269 --> 00:47:22,479 That's 1093 00:47:22,487 --> 00:47:26,957 which is just nuts right now to, in truth be told, like in full 1094 00:47:26,957 --> 00:47:31,337 transparency, the VIP upsell, at the moment, I'm, I haven't nailed that 1095 00:47:31,337 --> 00:47:34,337 with the AI yet, and it's tanking, but on the front end we've got that. 1096 00:47:34,337 --> 00:47:36,167 So the optimization for us is the next one. 1097 00:47:36,557 --> 00:47:36,707 Um. 1098 00:47:37,417 --> 00:47:38,257 So I think that's part of it. 1099 00:47:38,287 --> 00:47:41,977 The other thing that's really, really cool is that we're using voice agents now 1100 00:47:42,307 --> 00:47:46,237 to capture psychographic and demographic information about the people that are 1101 00:47:46,237 --> 00:47:48,047 gonna be in our room at our event. 1102 00:47:49,132 --> 00:47:51,052 Really interesting things can happen. 1103 00:47:51,082 --> 00:47:55,132 We can also gather financial profiles from people based on their credit score, 1104 00:47:55,402 --> 00:47:58,102 the credit that they have available, the cash that they have available 1105 00:47:58,282 --> 00:48:00,172 through their registration process. 1106 00:48:00,292 --> 00:48:03,622 So I can start building up a buyer profile of the people that are in my 1107 00:48:03,622 --> 00:48:07,855 room based on where their business stages at, um, their psychographic information 1108 00:48:07,917 --> 00:48:09,292 and all their financial information. 1109 00:48:09,637 --> 00:48:13,837 We feed that into the ai it, knowing what my event's gonna be about all 1110 00:48:13,837 --> 00:48:14,947 the different things that I'm doing. 1111 00:48:14,977 --> 00:48:19,147 It has all of the bank of my knowledge and activities, and it'll allow me to 1112 00:48:19,147 --> 00:48:23,587 carefully curate every part of the event based on the people that are in the room. 1113 00:48:24,037 --> 00:48:27,637 And at the same time, if I need to make live adjustments in the 1114 00:48:27,637 --> 00:48:29,947 room to the activities based on what's happening in the room. 1115 00:48:30,037 --> 00:48:32,077 Uh, a really good example of this, um. 1116 00:48:32,677 --> 00:48:34,267 A client did a pitch, all that sort of stuff. 1117 00:48:34,477 --> 00:48:38,257 We had some data from the audience in the room about their hopes, their 1118 00:48:38,257 --> 00:48:39,667 dreams, their aspirations, their fears. 1119 00:48:39,667 --> 00:48:40,657 They filled out a survey. 1120 00:48:40,927 --> 00:48:45,637 I grabbed that survey whilst, uh, our, our portfolio partner was presenting. 1121 00:48:45,817 --> 00:48:50,527 I put it into our AI and it produced a re-pitch script that was perfectly 1122 00:48:50,527 --> 00:48:52,447 tailored to the audience in the room. 1123 00:48:52,927 --> 00:48:56,077 I then used that script to do the re-pitch, and I extracted 1124 00:48:56,077 --> 00:49:00,097 an extra $75,000 out of the room because it touched on every single 1125 00:49:00,097 --> 00:49:01,357 point that they had just told us. 1126 00:49:01,837 --> 00:49:05,797 About, and then it allows us also for like the main pitch as well. 1127 00:49:05,797 --> 00:49:08,257 So these are the people in the room, these are the things that they need. 1128 00:49:08,407 --> 00:49:10,927 So I hit them in the pitch with every single thing that they've told us 1129 00:49:10,927 --> 00:49:13,477 that they need, and it just makes our office seem inevitable to them. 1130 00:49:13,927 --> 00:49:16,867 Then post event, well pre and post event. 1131 00:49:17,077 --> 00:49:21,787 Um, they have a, a, a, a, a voice agent that they're developing a relationship 1132 00:49:21,787 --> 00:49:24,397 that before the event that's making sure they have everything that 1133 00:49:24,397 --> 00:49:25,567 they need, all that sort of stuff. 1134 00:49:25,717 --> 00:49:29,137 We have a text agent going as well, and then on the, on the post event, all of 1135 00:49:29,137 --> 00:49:30,817 the post event follow up is done by. 1136 00:49:31,122 --> 00:49:33,312 Uh, a chat bot that's like checking in with them. 1137 00:49:33,312 --> 00:49:33,882 How are you going? 1138 00:49:34,032 --> 00:49:36,822 Like if they purchase, they, they get like an onboarding sequence. 1139 00:49:36,822 --> 00:49:39,582 If they didn't purchase, they get a sales conversation that's happening in the 1140 00:49:39,582 --> 00:49:41,652 dms or, or a voice agents calling them. 1141 00:49:41,982 --> 00:49:45,822 Like, there is so much opportunity here for us to be able to create 1142 00:49:45,822 --> 00:49:49,992 incredible experiences for people using this technology while still 1143 00:49:49,992 --> 00:49:52,422 giving everyone that personal touch of you being at the event. 1144 00:49:53,107 --> 00:49:57,697 And reducing the workload on your team, uh, that would normally be like a manual 1145 00:49:57,697 --> 00:50:01,027 lift for people so that you can focus on giving the right experience in the room. 1146 00:50:01,899 --> 00:50:04,494 It is personalization to it's max. 1147 00:50:04,764 --> 00:50:06,414 I mean like literally where Yeah. 1148 00:50:06,414 --> 00:50:10,704 Before, during, and after and well after I'm sure follow ups. 1149 00:50:10,704 --> 00:50:14,994 And that's an amazing use of AI and technology blended in with human 1150 00:50:14,994 --> 00:50:18,444 connection and what actually people are looking to get, or maybe they 1151 00:50:18,444 --> 00:50:22,014 don't even know quite yet, but it's helping extract that out of them 1152 00:50:22,102 --> 00:50:22,462 Yeah. 1153 00:50:22,672 --> 00:50:23,062 Yeah, 1154 00:50:23,064 --> 00:50:23,664 do something. 1155 00:50:24,504 --> 00:50:24,924 Freaking 1156 00:50:24,924 --> 00:50:25,494 awesome Brody. 1157 00:50:25,824 --> 00:50:26,394 Thank you. 1158 00:50:26,394 --> 00:50:27,114 I appreciate that. 1159 00:50:27,114 --> 00:50:28,374 We've worked really, really hard on this stuff. 1160 00:50:28,374 --> 00:50:31,764 Like it's a work in progress, um, and obviously like we're still 1161 00:50:31,764 --> 00:50:34,884 developing it for ourselves, but the cool thing is, is that with this 1162 00:50:34,884 --> 00:50:37,764 event, we're gonna have an amazing case study for us, like end to end. 1163 00:50:38,079 --> 00:50:42,039 Um, and then what we're doing is part of our, um, a techno, like our rollout 1164 00:50:42,039 --> 00:50:46,059 next year is to start rolling the whole end-to-end system out with select clients. 1165 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,089 And then what we're gonna do is we're gonna take it to market as its own 1166 00:50:49,089 --> 00:50:52,779 product, as a SaaS product as well, so that even if people are not in our 1167 00:50:52,779 --> 00:50:54,369 world, they'll get access to the tech. 1168 00:50:54,369 --> 00:50:56,409 And then I've got another revenue stream coming in. 1169 00:50:56,409 --> 00:50:57,729 It's not necessarily about people in our world. 1170 00:50:57,939 --> 00:51:00,309 Obviously that revenue stream will be programmed to try and 1171 00:51:00,309 --> 00:51:01,479 get 'em to buy our stuff, but 1172 00:51:01,510 --> 00:51:05,200 makes sense, but it's a hell of a way to launch something like this as 1173 00:51:05,469 --> 00:51:06,399 Yeah, it is. 1174 00:51:06,399 --> 00:51:07,029 It really is. 1175 00:51:07,210 --> 00:51:09,320 Well as, as we wrap up here, I'm just, I'm. 1176 00:51:09,850 --> 00:51:11,725 I'm just thinking because you're such an impact guy. 1177 00:51:11,745 --> 00:51:15,880 So if you were to speak to the person watching, listening right now, uh, you 1178 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:20,320 know what's one, if you wanna leave 'em with like one belief that can completely 1179 00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:24,940 change the way that they show up in the world, what would that one belief be? 1180 00:51:26,109 --> 00:51:30,489 I always tell people this, it's like you're extraordinary, like you really are. 1181 00:51:30,789 --> 00:51:35,994 You have survived every single day that you are on this planet. 1182 00:51:36,729 --> 00:51:41,739 And this planet is not designed for you to live in, like it's the safest time 1183 00:51:41,739 --> 00:51:45,159 in history for us to be alive, but we are constantly assaulted by messages 1184 00:51:45,159 --> 00:51:50,109 that telling us that we are less than by people telling us that we are, uh, invalid 1185 00:51:50,109 --> 00:51:54,879 because we're a part of a particular socioeconomic group or some, some cultural 1186 00:51:54,879 --> 00:51:56,469 group and all of that sort of stuff. 1187 00:51:56,529 --> 00:52:02,379 The internet is a cesspit at the moment of just everyone warring against each other. 1188 00:52:02,409 --> 00:52:04,719 And so if you ever doubt. 1189 00:52:05,034 --> 00:52:08,034 The, your place in the world or the impact that you can have. 1190 00:52:08,034 --> 00:52:10,884 Just remember that you've survived every single day. 1191 00:52:10,914 --> 00:52:14,274 You're the only person that has your exact experience. 1192 00:52:14,304 --> 00:52:17,394 You're the only person that has it, and there are people out there that 1193 00:52:17,394 --> 00:52:19,194 need to hear you and your message. 1194 00:52:19,284 --> 00:52:21,684 They need to hear the things that you've been through, the trials, 1195 00:52:21,684 --> 00:52:24,684 the tribulations, all that sort of stuff, so that it gives them the 1196 00:52:24,744 --> 00:52:29,159 power to maybe take that little step forward towards what their dream is. 1197 00:52:29,464 --> 00:52:33,934 You know, I, I come from a background of I was sexually abused when I was a child. 1198 00:52:33,934 --> 00:52:36,454 I went through all of this drug stuff, all of those sorts of things. 1199 00:52:36,754 --> 00:52:40,024 When I talk about those sorts of things in my keynote speeches, if just one 1200 00:52:40,024 --> 00:52:44,824 person is impacted by the message, then I know that my life is meaningful. 1201 00:52:44,824 --> 00:52:49,294 I know that it's like all of that stuff that I went through was worthwhile 1202 00:52:49,294 --> 00:52:50,884 because it's helped somebody else. 1203 00:52:51,124 --> 00:52:54,604 So if you are sitting in the mark, if you're in the messy middle at the moment. 1204 00:52:55,074 --> 00:52:58,014 I would encourage you to A, remember that you're extraordinary. 1205 00:52:58,044 --> 00:53:01,584 Your very existence is an absolute miracle, one in 1 trillion chance. 1206 00:53:02,004 --> 00:53:04,464 And then get out of your own head and get into service. 1207 00:53:04,914 --> 00:53:09,204 Find that thing that is important to you and just get out there and do it as 1208 00:53:09,204 --> 00:53:11,064 fixed nervous with service, as they say. 1209 00:53:11,484 --> 00:53:13,944 And you know, everything becomes easier when you're in 1210 00:53:13,944 --> 00:53:14,964 the service of other people. 1211 00:53:14,964 --> 00:53:17,124 Your stuff just doesn't seem as significant anymore, 1212 00:53:17,154 --> 00:53:18,444 as significant as it is. 1213 00:53:18,444 --> 00:53:19,674 I don't wanna minimize it, but. 1214 00:53:20,169 --> 00:53:23,859 There's so much more that you can do and we need you on that 1215 00:53:23,859 --> 00:53:25,239 path, whatever that mission is. 1216 00:53:25,347 --> 00:53:26,847 It's all about evolving, right? 1217 00:53:26,847 --> 00:53:28,437 And bringing everybody up with us. 1218 00:53:28,482 --> 00:53:33,087 So Brody, this is absolutely, this is highlight of my day right here. 1219 00:53:33,087 --> 00:53:33,537 So 1220 00:53:34,495 --> 00:53:35,155 mine too. 1221 00:53:35,365 --> 00:53:37,795 And like I'm finishing off the day here as well, so it's, 1222 00:53:37,795 --> 00:53:38,965 it's pushing me out on a high 1223 00:53:38,965 --> 00:53:40,315 too, so thanks so much for having me. 1224 00:53:40,315 --> 00:53:40,405 I 1225 00:53:40,405 --> 00:53:41,095 appreciate it. 1226 00:53:41,127 --> 00:53:42,597 And, uh, we co-created this. 1227 00:53:42,807 --> 00:53:47,397 How can people go follow you but also follow the event that's going 1228 00:53:47,397 --> 00:53:48,987 to come and, and get involved? 1229 00:53:48,987 --> 00:53:50,217 Go attend, gimme, gimme the 1230 00:53:50,455 --> 00:53:50,875 Yeah. 1231 00:53:51,445 --> 00:53:55,315 Okay, so, um, Brody Lee Live is the social media tag. 1232 00:53:55,315 --> 00:53:56,515 We're on Instagram. 1233 00:53:56,725 --> 00:54:00,535 Um, we're toying with the idea of doing it on YouTube shorts and also on TikTok. 1234 00:54:00,685 --> 00:54:02,155 I don't know anything about those platforms. 1235 00:54:02,155 --> 00:54:05,125 So Instagram's the place to go, um, depending on when you're watching this. 1236 00:54:05,125 --> 00:54:06,745 So hopefully my followers have improved. 1237 00:54:06,745 --> 00:54:08,155 I have no idea about this sort of stuff. 1238 00:54:08,155 --> 00:54:09,325 So we, it's an experiment. 1239 00:54:09,505 --> 00:54:13,075 I'm, I've got this internal goal of maybe a million views by the time of the event. 1240 00:54:13,075 --> 00:54:14,035 We'll see if that happens. 1241 00:54:14,245 --> 00:54:17,035 Um, again, I could fall on my face, but that's cool. 1242 00:54:17,035 --> 00:54:18,385 I'm happy to do that for the cause. 1243 00:54:18,595 --> 00:54:19,765 Um, so yeah, Brody Lee live. 1244 00:54:20,005 --> 00:54:23,635 Um, we are launching the, our launch for the actual event. 1245 00:54:23,665 --> 00:54:26,785 I'm, the first day I'm allowed to sell tickets is on December nine. 1246 00:54:27,085 --> 00:54:30,175 So if you go to Brody Lee Live, there is a wait list that you can jump on, 1247 00:54:30,235 --> 00:54:31,765 uh, and you'll be able to jump on that. 1248 00:54:31,945 --> 00:54:34,255 We're gonna do a virtual event to launch this whole thing. 1249 00:54:34,315 --> 00:54:37,705 And I'm gonna do some crazy cool training on that virtual event where you'll 1250 00:54:37,705 --> 00:54:41,005 come in and learn all about events and I'm gonna give you like, uh, some 1251 00:54:41,005 --> 00:54:42,415 stuff that you can action right away. 1252
