Capability Amplifier Mike Koenigs and Dan Sullivan of Strategic Coach

Dan and Mike are back for another stimulating episode of Capability Amplifier.
In this power-packed conversation, Dan and Mike talk about concepts like finding your identity, discovering your purpose, the danger of seeking external validation, and what you "cannot not do."
Dan shares profoundly insightful stories and examples (including a brilliant breakdown of Hillary Clinton!). And together, they explore powerful questions that can help anyone struggling with a crisis of identity or a lack of direction.
You'll learn:

Why the three most dangerous words are "should, would, and could"
The critical difference between internal vs external identity
A simple technique to declare yourself "already there" instead of endlessly chasing
The entrepreneurial discovery question to unlock your purpose
And much more!
Let's not spoil all the surprises here. You've got to experience the conversational flow and lightning bolts of insight for yourself.
Dan is at the peak of his philosophical powers here — somehow getting even wiser and sharper with age. And Mike can tell you that he learned a ton about himself and his own journey in the process.

Mike has BIG news about today’s episode of Capability Amplifier.
He sat down with two of the most fascinating and brilliant folks he has come across in a long time — Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt. They are THE masterminds behind getting presidents, governors, senators elected through clever marketing and messaging.
We're talking half a BILLION dollars raised and dozens of high-profile politicians helped into office.
But here's the crazy part — they took all their political marketing mojo and created a system to help NON-political businesses reinvent themselves faster and find "hidden money" just waiting to be snagged.
We're talking about uncovering secret revenue streams, optimizing your messaging to create buzz and engagement, even spinning off new products and services from within your existing business.
Their system is pure gold and they break it all down in this episode. The stories of sleeping in their car while selling fireworks, expanding to a massive tent operation in Philadelphia (nearly getting arrested!), and exploding onto the political scene are epic.
You've got to hear Kurt's hilarious story of splitting his pants wide open right in front of President Bush! It's cringe-worthy and hilarious.
And their passion for helping American small businesses reinvent themselves comes through loud and clear. Mike was pumped up and ready to take on the world by the end!

Get ready for an epic convo on this week's Capability Amplifier podcast episode. Dan and Mike go deep on Dan's brilliant framework called the "Great Meltdown."
Dan argues that we are entering an era of slowing progress. The factors that fueled rapid growth over the past few decades - cheap money, abundant energy, plentiful labor, and low transportation costs — are evaporating.
He calls this the "meltdown" or MELT (and it’s a brand new book he’s working on).
This has huge implications for business and society. How do you thrive when the tailwinds become headwinds?
The basic idea is that Dan has identified 4 key factors that drive the speed of progress and change in business and society — Money, Energy, Labor and Transportation (MELT). And he reveals how tracking these 4 elements gives you an incredible predictive lens on where the biggest opportunities will be over the next 10-25 years.
Mike's biggest takeaway: entrepreneurs who can escape the grip of MELT will have massive advantages. Your business needs to drastically cut its dependence on money, energy, labor and transportation.
Easier said than done, right? Don't worry, they tell you how you can use the MELT framework to spot gaps in the market, craft game-changing business models, and build wealth even in turbulent times.
You'll love their spicy side conversation on today's bankrupt narratives like disruption and wokeness. Let's just say Dan and Mike have strong opinions!
Whether you're a founder, investor, or executive, this episode will change how you think about the future. The Great Meltdown is upon us, people. Time to get strategic!
Key Takeaways

(02:24) Dan explains his “M.E.L.T.” framework for understanding how things are moving faster or slowing down.
(12:15) What is power anyway?
(21:45) The future of the US economy and Ai’s potential impact.
(26:55) Combining Ai and Generative medicine.
(35:34) Economic downturning, layoffs and bankruptcies.
(42:43) Using Ai to increase revenue and productivity in business
