Transcripts

Kasim:

Why are we here in a catamaran?

2

:

We are at the Driven

Mastermind, Ralph Burns.

3

:

Yeah.

4

:

which I think at this point it's

fair for me to say is the best

5

:

marketing mastermind in the world.

6

:

Because I've been told that enough

by enough people that would know.

7

:

So Driven plants a flag in the

ground and says, you know what?

8

:

There are some amazing

masterminds out there.

9

:

Not all of them are marketing

masterminds, but of the marketing

10

:

masterminds, the entrepreneurial

masterminds, I think we win.

11

:

This is the one.

12

:

yeah, we took the cake.

13

:

I think the reason why it is one of

the best, aside from the content, not

14

:

to sound like a shill for the Driven

Mastermind, but I guess we are coming

15

:

across that way, is that we're doing this

show from a catamaran, and from a Yacht.

16

:

here's the thing though, is look

at the people on the Yatchit, so

17

:

as we're here, there goes Nathan.

18

:

There's beautiful people everywhere.

19

:

Look at these guys.

20

:

you gotta get, yeah, you

gotta get a shot of them.

21

:

Yeah.

22

:

One of the best agencies I've worked with.

23

:

There we've got the Maglebees,

who just did a massive exit.

24

:

Sitting around on a boat trying to

figure out what they're doing next.

25

:

And all their money.

26

:

Yeah.

27

:

Yeah, they're just sitting on that money.

28

:

Who else do I see?

29

:

Thinking maybe they should buy a Yatchit.

30

:

A I want a Yatchit.

31

:

You know what's, dude, it's

funny, we looked it up earlier.

32

:

They're not as expensive

there's Mike Garcia of GSD.

33

:

Yep.

34

:

Probably the, one of the most visible

agency owners in the fitness space now.

35

:

especially now that, old what's

his fuck's got out of it.

36

:

Oh yeah, that guy Hormozy.

37

:

Yeah, I think this is an important point.

38

:

For anyone who has been listening

to 500 plus episodes, we

39

:

always talk about instruments.

40

:

Yeah, go surround yourself

with people smarter than you.

41

:

I am the poorest, dumbest

person in this group.

42

:

By its standard deviation.

43

:

I'm actually dumber and poorer.

44

:

Yeah.

45

:

Because you did an exit

and I haven't done an exit.

46

:

You haven't.

47

:

yeah.

48

:

You still have your equity though, You

have more potential power than I do.

49

:

I cash my check.

50

:

I don't know if that makes me smarter.

51

:

you surround yourself with

people who are smarter than you.

52

:

You get out of your comfort zone,

especially if you're I'm a little Are you?

53

:

I was gonna say, you

don't strike me as that.

54

:

Yeah.

55

:

Speak for the introverts out there,

because a lot of people think that

56

:

when you go to a mastermind, you go

to a social group like this, with all

57

:

these people that are hyper successful,

it's intimidating for the introverts.

58

:

But introverts are a little bit

reluctant to join these types of

59

:

groups, when in fact it's probably

the best thing they should do.

60

:

and not to show our own, go join What's

that thing that you've been in forever?

61

:

talk about it all the time.

62

:

it was BNI, which is Business Network

International, which I started.

63

:

That was a networking group.

64

:

Yeah.

65

:

That was super local.

66

:

Local businesses.

67

:

Go do something like that.

68

:

Yeah, just go do that.

69

:

Dude.

70

:

Perry's got a downstream mastermind

for people under a million.

71

:

It's called Ignite.

72

:

You can only beat in it for a year.

73

:

You're not allowed to renew.

74

:

' cause if you haven't broken the

million dollar mark he wants you

75

:

in, you gotta get over a million.

76

:

Yeah.

77

:

Steve Sims has a small or

downstream Mastermind too.

78

:

Not small, for people that

are under a million gross, I

79

:

think it's called speakeasy.

80

:

There's a bunch of them, man.

81

:

There's just go find any community.

82

:

of people that are gonna hold

you accountable, make you better,

83

:

teach you things you don't know.

84

:

Just get in, and it can be small.

85

:

Start your own.

86

:

Start your own?

87

:

Start your own.

88

:

You could.

89

:

Why wouldn't you do that?

90

:

But, it shouldn't be a

bunch of people like you.

91

:

It should be a bunch

of people not like you.

92

:

That's the thing.

93

:

Yeah.

94

:

you get the best ideas from, maybe it

was Elon Musk's first wife who said this.

95

:

It's merging two disparate ideas or

industries into one, and that's

96

:

when you have the real breakthrough.

97

:

as the old adage says, Henry Ford

figured out way to manufacture cars by

98

:

going to the Armour Sausage Factory.

99

:

By looking at how mass production

was actually done, he said,

100

:

hey, I could do the same thing.

101

:

And Completely transform the

automotive industry, which at that

102

:

point was incredibly fragmented.

103

:

It was like 300 auto manufacturers.

104

:

just went on a whim.

105

:

Armour invited him there and he said,

wow, mass production, each person doing

106

:

a single thing on an assembly line.

107

:

And it became Ford Motor

Company, the Model T.

108

:

And it came from hanging around

with other people that aren't

109

:

necessarily in your industry.

110

:

And I think that's super important.

111

:

One of the other things that I

would mention, group that I've

112

:

been a part of now for a while, I

think this is the one that you were

113

:

referring to, it's called Vistage.

114

:

That's the one I was thinking of.

115

:

I've never heard you say

a bad thing about Vistage.

116

:

Vistage is great.

117

:

you always get something out of it.

118

:

Vistage is great, You've

never invited me though.

119

:

it's in Boston, you'd

have to come up to Boston.

120

:

the Vistage group that I belong

to, there's a guy who runs a $400

121

:

million construction company.

122

:

Yeah.

123

:

And then there's another guy

that has a HVAC equipment

124

:

company, which is $250 million.

125

:

And then there's a guy who sells cake

supplies, and he's 3 or 4 million dollars.

126

:

The point is, we're all CEOs, we all

get together, we cross pollinate our

127

:

ideas, we share our numbers, and I always

come away with something that's super

128

:

interesting and actionable after that.

129

:

One of the things that's best

about this stage, and I think it's

130

:

the same thing here at Driven, is

that people hold you accountable.

131

:

you have weekly calls.

132

:

You get, you learn new skills.

133

:

And I think just hanging around with

people that, as Perry said yesterday

134

:

or the day before, are kind of freaks.

135

:

this is the island of misfit toys.

136

:

Yes.

137

:

If you look around, and you look at

everybody that's on stage, everybody who's

138

:

a member, these are not normal humans.

139

:

They're not.

140

:

No.

141

:

and some of them are

actually deeply broken.

142

:

No!

143

:

In a myriad of ways, but,

they know how to make money.

144

:

They do know how to make money.

145

:

And that's what I like about masterminds

like this one is that you guys are

146

:

unabatedly and unabashedly all about big

money, making money, which is very cool.
