FLOW with Arman Assadi Arman Assadi

Do you have what it takes to make $1000 an hour, if not more?!
I absolutely believe it’s possible and in this episode, I sat down to reverse engineer my process for how I got there and break it down into 7 steps. However, I actually don’t think getting your hourly rate as high as possible is the only path to success, I share my perspective on this, as well as, other ways to be successful financially and in business . 
Stay tuned until the end where I include one bonus tip on how to increase your value!

I got DESTROYED by the internet last week. 
I even got my first death threat (Because I expressed my admiration for Elon Musk).
The internet can clearly be an absolutely disgusting place. Social media and anonymity/pseudonymity seem to enable people to reveal their true nature.
But don’t worry I am 0% affected by this. It obviously shocked me to see it but clearly, this is a depressed cynical nihilistic person who’s completely lost. To truly do good in the world you have to be aware of the monsters that are out there, including the ones inside yourself, otherwise, you’re just living in a bliss bubble.
This is a very challenging time for all humanity. What we lack more than anything is an education in critical thinking. We seem to be desperately trying to find our place in this digital age. Everyone has grabbed hold of a ‘Truth’ and they think "I have found the answer and everyone else is a sheep/idiot". We’ve lost the ability to reason, think, analyze, discuss. I’ve asked many people questions about where their beliefs come from and the reaction is often the same: a) attack mine because they can’t explain theirs or b) ignore.
The digital age, censorship, social media, anonymity, truth. This results in violent behavior and isolationist thinking that further separates us. The cynical side of me is worried. But the optimist believes that this is a messy and required phase and this too shall pass. Hopefully 🙏

JeVon "JT" McCormick is the President and CEO of Scribe Media, a publishing company that helps individuals from a variety of backgrounds write, publish, and market their books.
I truly cannot think of a better person to speak to about book publishing. As someone who is working on their first book and has been involved in this space for many years, I came to this conversation with a lot of questions and I'm very excited to share this episode with you. 
JeVon was born the son of a black pimp father and a white orphan mother. Today, he’s the CEO of a multi-million dollar publishing company that was recently ranked the #1 Top Company Culture in America by Entrepreneur Magazine.
In this episode, we start off by discussing self-publishing vs traditional publishing. We also dive into JeVon’s past and how he has reclaimed his name.
