    #262: Secrets to Building Movements That Last — From the Woman Who Helped Shape the Self-Help Revolution… w/ Marcia Martin (Part 2 of 2)

    Last week, we released part one of a two-part series featuring Marcia Martin — the woman who helped pioneer the self-help empire. In case you missed it… Marcia was one of the original pioneers behind EST (now known as Landmark Forum).  She helped grow it from a 30-person seminar into a worldwide phenomenon with 800,000+ graduates, worked behind the scenes with Tony Robbins, helped catalyze The Secret, and was part of the early movement that sparked the coaching industry as we know it today. Part one was all about her story — the raw, wild, and fascinating origin of the self-help movement. But today… We go deep into how you can create a movement that lasts — learning directly from the woman who helped build one of the most influential transformational empires of all time. Specifically, we explore how you can: Build a movement the way nature grows — by creating virality without using social mediaLeverage Marcia’s “Three Faces” framework to get in touch with your deepest inner truth — and teach, lead, and create from that place of authenticity.Design training experiences that engage both your body and your mind to create transformation that actually lasts Can’t wait for you to listen! Show Notes Generated With The Help of AI!00:00 - Introduction to Beyond Curious and today's guest, Marcia MartinBrandon welcomes listeners to part two of his interview with Marcia Martin, one of the original architects of the Self Help Empire. He recaps part one and previews what’s to come: the nature-inspired strategy Marcia used to build viral movements before social media, her Three Faces framework, and how to design transformative learning experiences that engage both body and mind. 00:32 - Marcia explains how true movements grow organicallyMarcia begins with a profound insight: nature holds the answers to movement-building. By authentically sharing with one person, teaching them to share, and then teaching them to teach others, a self-sustaining, viral movement emerges—no social media required. 02:36 - Three key takeaways from this episodeBrandon outlines the episode’s focal points: building movements like nature, Marcia’s “Three Faces” framework to unlock deep authenticity, and the integration of physical and intellectual learning for true transformation. 04:20 - The dark side of power, fame, and cult-like dynamicsMarcia reflects on her time working with Werner Erhard and the transformation of noble movements into cultish hierarchies. She shares how unchecked power and adoration can lead even good people astray and why deep self-awareness is essential. 06:22 - Why admitting you're wrong is harder than it seemsMarcia discusses the human resistance to admitting mistakes and the psychological trap of justifying bad behavior to maintain a powerful image. 09:30 - The weight of leadership and the responsibility of influenceMarcia shares her lifelong mission to help others feel safe enough to grow. She reflects on how trust and love from others have been her gift—but also a burden she’s had to rise to. 11:26 - The duality of certainty and curiosity in leadershipBrandon and Marcia explore the seductive power of certainty. While certainty can drive action, Marcia cautions that it often blocks collaboration, compromise, and higher truth. True leadership requires balancing conviction with curiosity. 13:15 - The three stages of consciousness and how they evolveMarcia lays out a powerful framework for understanding consciousness: from victimhood to personal empowerment to living with purpose. She explains how real fulfillment only comes when your actions serve something bigger than yourself. 16:20 - Consciousness is not static; it's...

    #261: Meet the Woman Who Pioneered the Self-Help Industry, Took EST From 30 People to 800,000+, and Helped Launch Tony Robbins & The Secret… w/ Marcia Martin (Part 1 of 2)

    Today, I get to introduce you to someone who fundamentally helped create the personal development industry as we know it. In the 1970s, Marcia Martin was one of the original pioneers behind EST (now known as Landmark Forum). She was there during the very first 30-person seminar… and helped the organization grow to 800,000+ graduates, sparking a movement that would go on to impact 3.5 million people worldwide. (And yes, she did all of this back when she had to manage all of this using a “card box” paper filing system) But her career didn’t just end with EST… She helped Tony Robbins launch Unlimited Power, worked behind the scenes with Jack Canfield, helped to make the filming of The Secret happen, and supported the creation of the Hoffman Process, Wealth Dynamics, and countless others who would go on to shape an entire generation of transformation. During my first few conversations with Marcia, I could tell there was so much to cover that a single episode wouldn’t quite do it justice. So this is why we’re splitting this episode into two parts. In Part 1, we dive deep into Marcia’s story and her perspective on the origin of the self-help movement… including a crazy concoction of both genuine breakthroughs and psychological manipulation that shaped the industry. Specifically, we explore: How as a hungry 20-something, Marcia “accidentally” stumbled into the very first EST seminar because of a free hot dog and ended up filling 10,000+ person stadiums and putting EST on the map.What it was actually like behind the scenes of EST: the brilliance, the breakthroughs… and the darker practices that pushed people to their psychological limitsHow even the most noble visions to “save humanity” can spiral into manipulation, control, and cult-like dynamics once ego and power enter the equation — and what Marcia learned from watching that unfold firsthand If you’ve ever been impacted by personal growth work in any form — from Tony Robbins to Landmark to modern-day coaching — this is a must-listen. Marcia’s story (and her new book: Sex, Power, and Transformation) gives you a front-row seat to where it all began. Show Notes Generated With The Help of AI!00:00 - Introduction to Beyond Curious and today's guest, Marcia Martin Brandon Fong introduces Marcia Martin, a pioneering figure in the personal development industry who helped build the foundation of what would become EST and eventually Landmark Forum. He outlines her significant influence, from helping launch Tony Robbins’ Unlimited Power to working with Jack Canfield on The Secret, the Hoffman Process, and more. Brandon also highlights key themes to listen for—transformation, manipulation, and the evolution of the self-help movement. 00:39 - Marcia reflects on building EST from 30-person seminars to 800,000 graduates Marcia gives an early glimpse into the astonishing growth of the movement—from a small seminar in 1971 to nearly a million people impacted by the end of the decade. 01:41 - From paper files to global influence: Marcia's impact beyond EST Brandon recounts Marcia's extensive influence in the personal development world, including helping global brands and being knighted for her humanitarian work. 03:21 - A sneak peek into three pivotal elements of the episode Brandon teases listeners with three themes: the fateful hot dog moment that led Marcia to EST, the brilliance and psychological limits within the training, and how noble missions can spiral into manipulation. 05:03 - Launching into the interview: Brandon and Marcia begin their conversation Brandon welcomes Marcia

    #260: Turning a $60 Year Into a $64K Week, Working With the Dallas Mavericks, & Simplifying Your Business w/ Amy Birks

    A year into her coaching journey, Amy Birks generated a grand total of…  $60. Pair that with a big investment she made into a coaching program, and Amy ended up with a $36K loss that first year. Fast forward 10 months later, and Amy is sitting in a Sedona hotel room with friends when someone feeling stuck with their business said,  “I just wish someone would tell me what steps to take.” Amy started asking questions — and within 12 minutes, a full strategy appeared in her mind like a Google Map. Everyone in the room froze. “Wait,” they said, “you actually see this in your head?” That was the day Amy realized she had what she now calls her GPS Brain — the superpower that helps her instantly map people’s paths from confusion to clarity. Having personally hired Amy, I’ve personally experienced Amy not only helping to save me 25 hours per month in my business… but she’s also helped TWO of my community members (we call them Castaways) in transformational ways. She helped one Castaway identify a strategy that will help double her business next year… and in 30 days generated nearly six figures. Another Castaway she helped save 35 hours per WEEK by transitioning some 1-on-1 work into a group format, with results pouring in one week later. Amy’s brain is epic, and I can’t wait for you to learn from her on how to leverage her GPS brain to help simplify your business! Show Notes Generated With The Help of AI!00:00 - Introduction to Beyond Curious and today’s guest, Amy BirksBrandon introduces Amy as a close friend and fellow Curiosity Island castaway. He previews three core takeaways from the episode: how Amy helped him save 25 hours per month, her journey from $60 in profit to a $64k week, and her nonlinear career path that developed her unique “GPS brain.” 00:39 - Amy discovers her “GPS brain” in a Sedona hotel roomAmy recalls a pivotal moment at a mastermind retreat when she spontaneously mapped out a full strategy for a friend’s business idea in just 12 minutes. This unlocked her realization that she had a natural gift for strategy and clarity — a turning point that redirected her entire business. 03:14 - Brandon highlights Amy’s incredible impact and bioBrandon shares Amy’s background — from corporate strategy roles to consulting for the Dallas Mavericks — and the ripple effects of her GPS brain on the Curiosity Island community, including transformative results for Laura DeFranco and Jennifer Pear. 06:45 - Brandon compares Amy’s origin story to getting bitten by a radioactive spiderBrandon dives deeper into Amy’s strategic superpower. Amy describes how her mind visualizes strategy as a dynamic GPS map that forms through curiosity and inquiry, allowing her to chart efficient, values-aligned paths for clients. 10:42 - Brandon and Amy explore unconscious genius and how most people miss itAmy shares how her strategic ability always felt so “normal” that she didn’t value it — until others pointed it out. She and Brandon discuss how people often overlook their most valuable gifts because they come naturally. 14:19 - Building momentum through intuition and simplicityAmy explains how she asks questions to uncover clear paths for action, turning complexity into momentum. Her excitement and deep understanding of her clients’ visions fuel rapid transformation. 17:21 - From $60 in profit to deep personal alignmentAmy opens up about her first year in business, where she made just $60. She reflects on the internal judgment she felt and how she later realized that following her curiosity — even when nonlinear — gave her all the skills she needed. 24:23 - The $64,000 week: when alignment changed everythingAmy describes how simplifying her offerings and writing her book led to her most successful week.

    #259: I Dissected An Octopus. Here’s What I Learned… w/ Perry Knoppert

    Today’s episode is… a little strange. As the title suggests, I dissected an octopus. But don’t worry — no nine-brained, three-hearted, blue-blooded sea creatures were harmed in the making of this podcast 🐙. Instead, I brought back a dear friend and Curiosity Island citizen, Perry Knoppert — aka “Dr. Octopus” — the founder of the Octopus Movement, a global network of non-linear thinkers solving the world’s most unsolvable problems. So what does it mean to “dissect” an octopus? In this episode, I take Perry through my brand-new process called Find Your Four in 4,000 — where in just 4,000 seconds (about an hour), I use my curiosity + a custom GPT to help someone uncover the tiny slice of what they do (their 4%) that creates the majority of their impact and joy. And the results were wild.  Perry walked away with so much clarity that he even turned the insights into a manifesto for his life’s work. Here’s why this matters for you:  By listening in, you’re not just hearing an inspiring story from someone who’s making a big impact…  You’ll also see exactly how this process works in real time — and then mirror it for yourself. Normally, this is something I only guide people through inside my Curiosity Island community… but for this episode, I wanted to pull back the curtain and make it more accessible.  Paired with the free workbook I created for you, my intention is that you’ll be able to apply the same framework to your own life — and start building in alignment with your 4%. Show Notes Generated With The Help of AI!00:00 - Introduction to Beyond Curious and today's guest, Perry KnoppertBrandon introduces a special return guest: Perry Knoppert, also known as Dr. Octopus, founder of the Octopus Movement. Brandon sets the stage for a deep exploration of Perry’s 4% through a unique and immersive “Find Your 4 in 4000” session using AI, GPT, and real-time curiosity. 02:27 - Who is Dr. Octopus?Brandon reads Perry’s full bio, detailing Perry’s transformation from homelessness to leading the Octopus Movement—a global network of nonlinear thinkers solving the world’s most unsolvable problems. 04:24 - Understanding the 4% ConceptBrandon introduces the “Find Your Four” concept and shares a free downloadable PDF guide to help listeners identify the 4% of their activities that yield 64% of their results, based on fractal applications of the 80/20 rule. 07:05 - What is “Find Your 4 in 4000”?Brandon explains how he uses GPT, real-time transcription, and curiosity to identify someone’s 4% within 4000 seconds. This episode is a live demo with Perry as the subject. 09:39 - A Journey to Childhood: Perry’s Yellow Room & GrandmotherPerry vividly describes his first room with yellow walls and shares a heartfelt story of his grandmother—a WWII resistance member who taught him selflessness through humble, quiet courage. 15:01 - Building Weird with LEGOPerry describes his chaotic, unplanned Lego building as a child. He reflects on the joy of creation without attachment and how “weird” was a recurring theme in his thinking and expression. 17:17 - Embracing “Weird” as a ComplimentPerry shares how he embraced his unique way of seeing and building things, which contrasted with others. To him, “weird” is a celebration of originality and difference. 21:34 - From LEGO to Life: Creativity as FlowPerry discusses the emotional experience of starting from scratch and the energy of creating something new—an experience he describes...

    #258: From Wendy’s Value Meals to Managing $33 Billion & How You Can DESIGN True Wealth w/ Anthony Englert

    At 19, Anthony Englert thought he’d cracked the wealth code. He was living in a million-dollar mansion, cashing checks from a hedge fund with 12% monthly returns, and feeling on top of the world… …until his business partners accused him of not being willing to take enough risk, kicked him out of the company, and he lost everything — including his entire life savings and his closest friends. It was a rock bottom moment. But in a wild twist of fate… getting kicked out ended up saving him.  Because just a few months later, he learned the truth: He had unknowingly been part of a Ponzi scheme — and his partners’ betrayal became the thing that protected him from disaster. But as crazy as that sounds — that near miss taught him the valuable lessons that eventually led Anthony to joining an elite team at Goldman Sachs managing $33 billion in assets. Today, Anthony is on a mission to help entrepreneurs avoid the mistakes he’s seen made at the highest levels, and truly design holistic wealth… from the inside out. We jammed on a LOT in this episode — but here are 3 things I especially loved: The “Lifestyle vs. Legacy” decision that will impact every other decision you make in your businessWhy increasing your profit isn’t the most effective way to unlock value in your companyHow to use F.A.S.T. thinking to make smarter business and financial decisions (without getting lost in tactics) If you’re ready to start thinking like an investor — and design a life and business that outlives you — this one’s a must-listen. ALSO... I'd highly recommend taking Anthony’s curated financial assessment to reveal whether your current strategy supports long-term wealth or holds you back — and what to do next. Select founders may be invited to a complimentary 90-minute session (no pitch, just value) with Anthony which is a HUGE value. 👉 Alfa Advisory Founders Financial Assessment Show Notes Generated With The Help of AI!00:00 - Introduction to Beyond Curious and today's guest, Anthony EnglertBrandon Fong introduces his friend and financial strategist, Anthony Englert.

His early mistake became a catalyst for pursuing real financial literacy. 02:17 - Why Brandon isn’t a “finance guy” and how Anthony made wealth building accessible for entrepreneursBrandon shares his past struggles with understanding finances as a business owner and how Anthony’s clarity and holistic strategy transformed his approach to money and business. 04:07 - Lifestyle vs. Legacy: A framework that will shift how you view your businessBrandon previews Anthony’s “Lifestyle vs. Legacy” framework, explaining how the type of business you choose to build shapes every other financial and strategic decision you make. 05:42 - Brandon reads Anthony’s bio and explains why he trusts him with his financial futureFrom Goldman Sachs to climbing Kilimanjaro, Brandon reads Anthony’s impressive bio and gives listeners a glimpse into his character, brilliance, and values as both an advisor and adventurer. 08:12 - “The Wendy’s Moment”: How a 7-year-old optimized a fast food order and formed a belief that money = happinessAnthony shares a vivid...

    I’ll never forget my sophomore year of college, wandering the cobblestone streets of Sevilla, Spain, earbuds in… listening to something brand new to me at the time: Podcasts. One show in particular stood out: Entrepreneurs on Fire. Hearing real entrepreneurs talk about building businesses that made an impact felt revolutionary compared to the dry, theoretical lectures I was getting in class. It was like discovering a portal into the life I knew I wanted. Fast forward almost a decade… Selena Soo (episode #242) invites me into one of her curated “Rich Relationships” mixers, and I find myself in a breakout room with Kate Dumas — the heartbeat of EO Fire. If you don’t know, EO Fire is one of the most downloaded business podcasts (175M+ downloads), hosted by John Lee Dumas.  But what many people don’t see is that behind the scenes, Kate has been co-building the entire empire with John… while also navigating a romantic relationship, cross-country moves, and now raising a kid together. To date, EO Fire has generated $28M+ in revenue while impacting millions — and their relationship all started with Kate meeting a sweaty John while in his boxers in the middle of an Insanity workout (hilarious story you’ll hear on the show.) In this episode, we go deep on: 🔥 What it’s really like to build a multimillion-dollar business with your life partner with two OPPOSITE skillsets 🔥 How Kate went from feeling invisible to launching her own show and stepping into her power 🔥 Why they intentionally scaled back from 8 employees to 3 — and what it taught them about freedom Whether you’re in business with your partner, thinking about it, or just curious how 175M downloads happen behind the scenes… This episode will give you a rare look into what makes it all work.

    #256: My Framework For Experience Design: Have Your MOM Make A WAFFLE (w/ Special Guest Interviewer, Meredith Grundei)

    Back in March, I hosted the first ever LIVE event for my community, Curiosity Island. We hired my friend and Curiosity Island “Castaway” Bob Regnerus to produce the video footage for our event: Click right here to watch the video Why am I sharing this with you? * Incoming humble brag * If you listen to that video, there was definitely a theme in what the Castaways shared: “You feel like you're entering a Brandon world when you come into his space. It is warm, inviting, challenging, curious and so exciting in the best way.”“I've never met anybody like Brandon who takes creating experiences so seriously.”“This Curiosity island that he's created is so much more than a business or a brand or a mastermind… This is really an experience”. The theme that I notice is World Building / Experience Design. After designing several live events, hundreds of virtual experiences, and speaking on many stages, I’ve never actually sat down to ask myself: “What am I actually doing?” Meaning: How would I actually teach someone about my approach to World Building? When another Castaway, Meredith Grundei, asked me to come on her LinkedIn live show to talk about it… it was a perfect excuse for me to actually teach my approach. So after several hours of GPT biking and playing around, I arrived at this: To design transformational experiences, have your MOM make a WAFFLE 👇 MOM is an acronym that stands for the 3 phases of an experience… While WAFFLE is an acronym for the 6 keys to make an experience stick. Whether you run events, lead a community or team, create content, or just want to inject more magic into your daily life… this one’s for you. Show Notes Generated With The Help of AI!00:00 - Introduction to Beyond Curious and today's guest, Meredith GrundeiBrandon introduces the episode as a unique hybrid format: a collaborative conversation with friend and Curiosity Island castaway, Meredith Grundei.

The acronym “MOM” (Momentum, Open Loops, Memory) and “WAFFLE” (World, Anchors, Fusion, Flaws, Language, Emotion) serve as the episode’s central theme. 03:24 - Meredith Welcomes Brandon & Introduces the Speaker's LoungeMeredith welcomes Brandon to the Speaker’s Lounge, her monthly conversation series. She invites him to share the origin story of Curiosity Island, the imaginative community he leads. 04:29 - The Birth of Curiosity Island: A Domain Bought in a FlashBrandon recounts a pivotal Zoom call with his friend Vlad where the phrase “Curiosity Island” was coined—and how he immediately bought the domain. He explains how the name gave conceptual structure to his vision of a place filled with wonder and transformation. 06:16 - What is Curiosity Island? A Transformational, Imaginative CommunityBrandon describes Curiosity Island as a place of infinite possibility—“mirrors, not mentors”—where castaways help each other uncover their gifts. Meredith adds how impactful it’s been for her, especially through the “Breeze Offer” concept. 08:45 - Why Presentations Need to Become ExperiencesBoth Brandon and Meredith discuss how modern audiences are no longer captivated by static presentations.
