 In this episode, I speak to a room full of entrepreneurs, mainly in the life insurance and recruiting space, about the new media landscape and the foundational mindset required for long-term success. I reveal why the competitive advantages I once had in "social media" have completely disappeared - a massive opportunity for those just starting out. I break down the profound shift to "interest media," and explain why your third post on TikTok can now outperform my views. I then dive deep into the mindset that separates winners from "half-pregnant" losers, urging everyone to re-invest in their business and live their actual truth without compromise.
