And as I mentioned in the intro, we are going to be talking about the ultimate two-day interactive life-changing business growth conference featuring yours truly, JLD, Tim Tebow, Clay Clark, and more.

1:50I spoke at this conference a year ago. It was fantastic. It was joyful. It was amazing. Tulsa, Oklahoma was a delight. And I can't wait to hand it over to Clay Clark, who's going to be hosting the event, speaking at the event, making sure everything's awesome about the event. So Clay, say what's up and what the heck is this all about? Well, brother, thank you for allowing me to be here with you today. And thank you for all the EO Fire Nation for tuning in. And I can just tell you, Michael Gerber, the bestselling author of The E-Myth, who I've actually interviewed on my podcast as well, he said the difference between great people and everyone else is that great people create their lives actively while everyone else is created by their lives, passively waiting to see where life takes them next.

2:34The difference between the two is living fully and just existing. If you're listening to today's broadcast and you want to thrive, you want to move beyond surviving, you want to actually build that successful company, start that company, grow that company, and live a life of abundance, our in-person two-day interactive Thrive Time show business workshops are absolutely game-changing, but this one is going to feature you. You're traveling all the way from Puerto Rico to Tulsa, Oklahoma, as well as Tim Tebow, the two-time Heisman award-winning football player, as well as a man who's been more successful off the field than on the field.

3:11We have the PR expert of choice for Michael Jackson, Prince, Nike, Pizza Hut, Charlton Heston. I'm not just throwing out big names. This is the PR consultant of choice for these people, Michael Levine. He'll be here. The world's number one literary agent who happens to be – I should say the world's number one female literary agent, Esther Fedorkevich. She'll be here. I mean we just have endless amounts of experts, trainers, and teachers. But, folks, I'm telling you, it is going to be a life-changing business conference if you're willing to invest the two days needed to travel to Tulsa, Oklahoma for the June 27th and 28th in-person workshop.

3:48And again, you can get those tickets at ThriveTimeShow.com forward slash EO Fire. That's ThriveTimeShow.com forward slash EO Fire. Now, this is going to be a fire episode, Fire Nation. We're not going to sit here and belabor the points over and over again, but I do want to go over some key things that we're going to be learning during this event. So, Clay, take it away. Branding. I think it's very important that we all recognize people do judge us based upon the quality of our website, our print pieces, our photography, our video, our public relations, our podcast. People judge us based on the appearance.

4:22They do judge a book by its cover. We're going to teach you branding. Franchising. Once you nail it, can you scale it? You look up a company called oxyfresh.com. Look them up, folks. oxyfresh.com, O-X-I-fresh.com. I've helped them open over 500 locations. That's oxyfresh.com. That's kind of fun. If you look at a brand like Tip Top Canine, we've helped them grow from one location to dozens of locations or a dozen plus locations. Marketing. We're going to get into marketing. How do you generate leads? I think one thing that's very uncomfortable is watching your wallet bleed because you can't generate leads.

4:55So we're going to teach you marketing. Online advertising. How do you run effective online ads that convert leads? How do you design a product? Product design. How do you design a product or service that people want? Sales. I mean, eventually you have to sell something or your business will go to hell. If you can't sell, your business will go to hell. Search engine optimization. Demystifying that. How do you optimize a website so that your ideal and likely buyers can find you? Time management. How does a guy like myself, how do I have five kids in multiple companies and how do you do that? How does someone like yourself record a podcast while also writing a book, while also developing products?

5:30How do you do that time management? Workflow design. How do you create a linear workflow? How do you get it out of your head and into systems and processes? Accounting. How do you actually do accounting properly so that you don't end up in jail and that you actually can minimize your tax liability? Hiring people. How do you hire people? How do you hire, train, retain, inspire, and inspire great people? And then finally, what's the point of all this. How do you create both time freedom and financial freedom? Because when you look at all the speakers that we have, they've achieved both time freedom and financial freedom.

6:02And they're choosing to take some of their time freedom to travel to Tulsa, Oklahoma for this event. So again, if you're looking to create time freedom and financial freedom, that's just a little bit of a look into all the things we are going to teach you at the in-person workshop. Fire Nation, one of the things that I pride myself on when I wrote my book, the common path to uncommon success is that it was a 17 step roadmap to financial freedom, location, freedom, time, freedom, fulfillment. That's what it was. There was no fluff. It was just value. And that's what I love about this events that Clay is putting on.

6:38It is no fluff. It is just value. Branding, franchising, marketing, online advertising, product and design, sales, SEO, social media marketing, time management, workflow design, accounting, hiring, Time freedom, financial freedom. I mean, these are critical things and we go through all of them during that. As Clay mentioned, I mean, think about time freedom. I have a seven day week podcast now for coming up on 12 years that I literally go nose to the grindstone one day per week for because I figured out how to create my content production plan. Financial freedom, all these different things are so important and we go through these processes step by step.

7:20We bring up real people to stage. We have real conversations. And one thing I love, Clay, you really allow a lot of audience interaction. So you and I were up on stage last year for a long time. We were just taking direct questions from the audience. So they were having questions. They were interacting with us. And that's a very special scenario that doesn't happen most places, Fire Nation. June 27th, June 28th, Tulsa, Oklahoma, thrivetimeshow.com slash EO Fire. Check it out to learn more. We'll be right back after we thank our sponsors.

9:05We've had a number of guests rave about how special their vacation was as a result of staying in a place that is so beautiful and that felt like home.

Clay, we're back, and you mentioned some of these amazing speakers. We have Tim Tebow, we have Michael Levine, of course, myself, and you.

10:58Let's just talk about a couple other of the speakers that you have that you're really excited about. Okay, well, Colton Dixon, if you look up Colton Dixon, he is a pop star. A lot of people might have heard of his name through American Idol, and he travels around with household names. He's got an incredible voice. He's a great singer. But how does somebody go from being a talented singer to having an actual contract with Atlantic Records? And Colton Dixon's been a client of mine. He'll tell you that story. Peter Taunton, this is the guy who opened up Snap Fitness and Nautical Bowls. So this guy has sold, and I'm not exaggerating, he has sold over 2 ,000 locations of his businesses, and he's worth nearly$200 million.

11:38And I don't know a lot of people, JLD, that are willing to speak that are worth$200 million that don't have anything to sell you. And this guy, he has something to sell you, but it's called a franchise. So if you come to the event, you want to buy a franchise, then you can buy a franchise. But if you don't want to buy a franchise, he'll walk you through all the systems you need to put in place to franchise. Now, Jill Donovan, this is a fun story. Jill Donovan started a company called Rustic Cuff. Rustic Cuff. And her products are now worn by Sheryl Crow, Oprah. They're worn by, insert the name, Harry Connick Jr.

12:14Insert the name of whatever celebrity you want to look up there. It's called Rustic Cuff. And if you want to see all the celebrities that wear her product, just do a Google search for rustic cuff and celebrities. And with Jill, Jill implemented what's called the Dream 100 marketing system that Chet Holmes, the late great business coach, created. But she would reach out systemically to Candace Cameron, Christian Chenoweth, big-time celebrities and try to get them to wear her product. And one by one, the celebrities started saying yes. and now Rustic Cuffs sells millions and millions of dollars of Rustic Cuffs per year.

12:48She's going to share the story of how she went from her home. She literally started a company in her home, a multimillion-dollar company. It's an incredible story. Then you have Mondo De La Vega. This is a guy who left. I'm trying to get a variety of speakers at every event that I do. So no matter where you're coming from, you can relate to these guys. But Mondo De La Vega, he grew up in the street gangs. So this is a guy who watched many people who he grew up with die at a young age. because they were living in, we're talking about Compton, we're talking about South Central, we're talking about some of the roughest areas in California, and he grew up in the gang life.

13:23And he left that life behind, became a best-selling author, and now he's a talk show host, and he teaches people how to change your mindset. So this guy went from literally living a life of crime and every day was a near-death experience into becoming a very successful talk show host and best-selling author. And then Esther Fetorkevich, I mean, so many people want to write a book, but they don't know the process, step one, step two, step three. And then how do you market that book? And Esther Fedorkevich is going to teach that to you. And to your earlier point, every session that we teach, folks, we start off at 7 a.m.

13:55And every session that we teach is 30 minutes of high octane. We're taking you through a workbook. We're doing a deep dive on a topic like branding. But then we come up for air and we do a 15-minute Q &A section after every single presentation. And we cap the attendance at 300 people. So there's no disrespect to events that have thousands of people. And I often participate in events that have thousands of people. But at my events, I cap the attendance at 300 people. So you're able to ask questions. You're able to shake hands with the speakers. You're able to interact with them in between the breaks.

14:27It's going to be a great mind-blowing, mind-expanding event. And if you need that inspiration, that's why I bring in Tim Tebow, because Tim Tebow is a walking, inspirational story. And the guy organizes his life in a way where he carves out time for fitness, finances, and family. And it really is impressive when you get to hear his story. And also, JLD, you're surrounded by hundreds of actual current and or former clients of mine who have gone on to build multimillion-dollar successful businesses. And so you're able to be in the fellowship of people that have actually had success. So it really is an action-packed event.

15:03It's from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. We break for lunch. And then for the VIPs, they get to have a dinner at my house. Some people say, I think I'd rather skip dinner at your house. That's fine. But if you want to have dinner with me at my house, you can do that. It is interactive. We have a band. I mean, it's going to be a blasty blast. And I would just say it is the most interactive business conference that I've ever participated in. And I know this because after I sold my first company, DJConnection.com, some of the biggest companies in America, Hewlett Packard, UPS, O 'Reilly Auto Parts, Oxyfresh, they began reaching out to me and asking me to speak.

15:38And I found as a speaker, you're supposed to speak and teach, and you're given one hour or 30 minutes to present the idea, but the people in the audience can't ask questions. And I started thinking to myself, you know, there's got to be a better way. And so I actually built a facility. I built a campus. And so when you travel to the interactive workshop, you're actually coming to my home office. You're going to meet my employees. You're on my campus. It is going to be a life changing experience. And again, if you go to thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EO fire for the EO fire nation, if you go to thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EO fire and you request a ticket there, I just want to be very clear.

16:14The tickets are$250 or whatever you can afford. And somebody says, how does that work? Well, I grew up poor and I know what it's like to be poor. And so we always do scholarship tickets to help people in need. So I know getting to Tulsa may be an expense for somebody, but if you go to thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EO fire and you request a ticket, they're$250 or whatever price you can afford. And then we also do have select VIP tickets available as well. Fire Nation, I will say the VIP experience is amazing. I got to experience it. I got to have the dinner at Clay Clark's house. It was an amazing dinner.

16:48Meet his wife, meet his family. I mean, his kids are inspirational. Incredible level. The photo opportunity that we did there, I tried to convince him to have a cold plunge because he had a pool back there and it was in the winter last time, but we weren't quite set up for that. And now it's going to be in June. So I don't think the cold plunge will be an option unless Clay, you decide to get one between now and then. But the cold plunge idea, I think would be great to add to that VIP mix. But I'm excited for all of these speakers. I want to really call out Esther. I mean, so many of you listening right now, Fire Nation, you have a book within you.

17:18I know you do. And I know it's screaming to get out. This is going to be such a great session for you for that. The step-by-step process. It is absolutely incredible. And I have never received, from an event, I've never received more personal emails after the event from you, Fire Nation, from people that were listening to this episode last year where we talked about the event, who went to the event, had such a fantastic time, came back. I actually was just hanging out with one in New York City when I was over the weekend because I was up there for a basketball tournament. And this guy was like, hey, I see you're in the city because I'm following your Instagram.

17:54This doesn't sound weird, but we hung out at Clay's event last year. I'm like, let's meet up for coffee. And we did. And it was a blast. We had a good time. We talked about it. And he's coming again this year, obviously, because he loves it. So that was really cool. And then there was a specific individual who reached out to me and said, John, I didn't really know if that scholarship was real. And I was limited on finances. So I reached out and I got the scholarship and I came as a result. And it was such a blessing to be able to do that. So the scholarship is real. The value is unbelievably real.

18:23I would love to see you there, Fire Nation, to join me, Clay, Tim Tebow, all the other amazing people, thrivetimeshow.com slash EO Fire, June 27th to the 28th in Tulsa. For those of you that can, upgrade to that VIP level. You're going to spend a ton more time with myself, with Clay, with the others. The dinner experience, the photo op, everything is really worthwhile across the board. Clay, take us home. What do you want to say as we close this conversation out? Well, I'll say this. If you go to thrivetimeshow.com, right, and you click on the testimonials button, we have over 2 ,000 documented video case studies of actual clients who we've mentored into building multimillion-dollar companies.

19:07Think about that, folks. Think about the profundity of that. Since 2005, we have over 2 ,000 documented case studies and success stories. But in my opinion, we're only as good as the most recent ones. So just the other day, two days ago, we had a success story of the businesses called A Perfect Clean.net. So when you go to Thrivetimeshow.com and you click on testimonials, look it up. This is a guy who started off as a scholarship client. His name is Brian Mucabi. And at JLD, I just talked to him yesterday. He's grown his business by 361%. in less than a year. And he's came to the workshop. He heard about it through the Entrepreneur on Fire podcast.

19:43He came to the workshop and he didn't sign up as a client, which is fine. Then he came to another workshop and then he did sign up as a client. And now we've been able to help him grow his business. And I just encourage everybody to become the next success story. Go to thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EO fire. That's thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EO fire request your ticket. I promise it will be a life changing event for you. and we also do offer a money-back guarantee. So for some reason you go, my life wasn't changed. Okay, fine, you can get your money back.
