    Lessons For Hannah - 6 Great Lessons from A Recent Business Deal​

    Lessons For Hannah - 6 Great Lessons from A Recent Business Deal​

    Many years ago, I introduced a new format that alongside our regular episodes called “Lessons for Hannah.” Hannah is my daughter and one of the main inspirations for the Misfit Entrepreneur. I wanted to have a place where she could go and learn from her daddy and his Misfit friends throughout her life….even after I am gone. If you haven’t listened to the first episode of "Lessons for Hannah," I urge you to as it gives some more background and tells the amazing story of how Hannah came to be in our lives.
    Lessons for Hannah are short, very useful, and sometimes comical lessons, that I want to share with you and give to Hannah to help in your lives. Because I want Hannah to have these for her life, I’m going to speak as though I am talking directly to her. These episodes are a lot of fun and if you think there is a lesson that we should include in these episodes, please don’t hesitate to send it over to us at support@misfitentrepreneur.com. We’d love to share it.

    From Millionaire at 21 to Broke and Back, How Pavel Stuchlik Found Purpose and True Success

    From Millionaire at 21 to Broke and Back, How Pavel Stuchlik Found Purpose and True Success

    This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Pavel Stuchlik. Pavel, also known as NOA|AON, is a professional cyclist turned serial 7-figure entrepreneur and investor. As an entrepreneur, Pavel made his first million before the age of 21 and successfully launched, scaled, and exited many brands, including Orange Theory Fitness. On top of that, Pavel is also an internationally conscious DJ and producer who heals others by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.
    Pavel’s mission is to bring people back to their center in union with others through his movement, #noamovement. This movement was born after spending long 10 days in complete darkness in south-east Asia which was one of the most difficult and transformative moments Pavel has experienced.
    Needless to say, Pavel has led a very interesting life both as an entrepreneur and spiritually and thought was the perfect Misfit to come on discuss how to blend the two and achieve your trust potential.

    From Air Traffic Controller to Over $50M in Real Estate, How Shawn DiMartile Built Financial Freedom ​

    From Air Traffic Controller to Over $50M in Real Estate, How Shawn DiMartile Built Financial Freedom ​

    This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Shawn Dimartile. Shawn is the founder of Takeoff Capital, a private real estate equity firm with over $50M in assets under management spread across over 300 units. He is also the co-host of The Real Estate Takeoff podcast and author of California Gold, Unlocking SoCal’s Most Profitable Real Investment Strategy Over the Next Decade.
    The thing I love about Shawn is he didn’t start out with a silver spoon in his mouth. In fact, he’s a veteran that went to work as a traffic controller. In his spare time, he dedicated himself to creating financial freedom with a focus on real estate and figured it out reaching his goal in just 3 years.
    I’ve always loved real estate as a way to build wealth and I’m excited for Shawn to share his story of how he figured it out and you can too.
