    E102: Leaving a New Legacy with Erik Allen

    E102: Leaving a New Legacy with Erik Allen

    About Erik:


    Erik is truly a man of integrity, work ethic and an overcomer. Growing up with a complicated childhood and broken home, to raising himself from the age of 14. Unfortunately finding trouble along the way desperately trying to fill the gaping voids in his life.

    As a young man Erik found himself empty and tired of settling for less. After the feverish pursuit of the Holy Spirit, Erik decided to surrender and trust the one that would never let him down.

    Once Erik gave his life to Christ, his life completely turned around. He met a beautiful woman and a new chapter was written.

    Now, Erik and his wife of nearly 19+ years and their two children live in Northern Idaho and live a humble and blessed life. Together they are breaking the cycles handed down to them of divorce, addictions, depression, abuse, and lies. They are leaving a new legacy for their next generation built on a biblical foundation.

    Along with being the sole provider for his family, Erik is an entrepreneur and avid personal development fan. With his company Erik Allen Media, he has worked with Grunt Style, Alpha Outpost, Blackout Coffee Co., and many others. 

    Erik gives back through is podcast, The Erik Allen Show by interviewing 250+ Entrepreneurs, World Changers, and Success Minded People who share their stories, tips, and practical steps to help improve lives.

    Another one of the ways Erik is able to give back is by sharing his story and encouraging others, no matter what path they are on to find hope and purpose.

    Erik’s natural approach ability and heart for people make him a great speaker for different events and podcasts. He knows that sometimes having the opportunity to meet someone and hear their story and how they’ve overcome is the courage someone might need to find new strength in their own battle.


    Erik might have been dealt a rough hand, but with the help of his Heavenly Father and a humble heart, Erik is taking each day as it comes and making it count.

    E99: How to Build Your Own Business with Brian Scudamore

    E99: How to Build Your Own Business with Brian Scudamore

    About Brian:

    Serial entrepreneur and author Brian Scudamore has always taken the road less travelled. At just 19 years old, he pioneered the industry of professional junk removal with 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, turning a chore people avoid into an exceptional customer service experience. Then he scaled that success into two more home-service brands, WOW 1 DAY PAINTING and Shack Shine, under the O2E Brands banner.



    Brian learned the ins and outs of business by running his own, and believes that anyone with a fire in their gut and a vision for doing something incredible can do the same. His philosophy, WTF (Willing To Fail), stems from his belief in the power of dreaming big, taking risks, and learning from mistakes. Through franchising, he’s giving thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs the chance to BYOB (Build Your Own Business, Be Your Own Boss), and live their dream of business ownership.

    E98: How to Lead with Influence with Jake Havron

    E98: How to Lead with Influence with Jake Havron

    About Jake:

    From being a nurse just over 5 years ago to now a widely accredited transformational speaker and business strategist, Jake is creating raving fans of the people and audiences he works with. Organizations such as GoBundance, 787 Coffee Co., 180 Elevate Nonprofit, MentorBox, and Real Estate team doing $300M – $1.6B in annual revenue have brought Jake in to help their people become more influential in sales and leadership.

    Alongside him is his beloved, Emily Ford, who is also a force for GOOD with her speaking career for 10+ years. Both of them have lead by example in their lives together through their relationship, speaking on stages back-to-back, co-leading the ITfactor Mentorship Program, each hosting their own show {The Influence Effect & The ITfactor Show}, and most importantly to them, is living a life in alignment with God and His truth.

    Jake knows they are on this Earth for a very significant purpose and it’s helping to end mediocrity living that people are experiencing. He knows that there is nothing more unfulfilling than living a life where either you have been conditioned to dim your light in this world or don’t even know how bright your light can shine. That’s what leading with influence is all about. Influencing others to be a brighter light in the world that can be seen on a hilltop and live an extraordinary life on your terms.

    In this episode we discuss:


    Jake's Upbringing in Hawaii
    Being bullied for being a chubby kid
    A summer comeback
    Getting into fitness

    And much, much more!
