    SAM BAKHTIAR: Our Tribute To A True Legend

    Many months ago, we had the privilege of having Sam Bakhtiar on the podcast to record an episode. We knew how successful Sam was, but we knew little of how humble, caring, kind, and passionate he would turn out to be from the instant we sat down with him. Sam has an incredible story of immigrating to the United States from Iran when he was young, and has made a name and a career for himself in the fitness industry. He gave us valuable insights into entrepreneurship and what it takes to be successful, but most importantly, he was grateful for us inviting him on to talk and share his wisdom. We are deeply saddened to learn that Sam passed away unexpectedly on December 23rd, 2020. Our interview with Sam was archived in our files and never released, as the podcast has taken a bit of a back seat for us as we focus on other ventures. Once we heard the news, we knew we had to release this episode right away in memory of Sam. In the age of social media, it can be hard at times to come across someone as successful as Sam that's still a genuine, caring, compassionate person. Sam was all of those things and more, and we are grateful to have crossed paths with him and learn alongside his mentorship. RIP Sam Bakhtiar

    LARRY FLOWERS: The Power of Networking & Fun NHL Stories

    On this episode of Real Talk University, Andre and Christian sat down with Larry Flowers, an LA based jeweler and entrepreneur. Since getting started, he has become the go to guy for a lot of NHL players for watches and engagement rings. His network of connections is incredible, but his character and selflessness is the most impressive aspect of his story.   He dropped a ton of knowledge, but here are the 3 main takeaways: Networking is KEY! When Larry arrived in LA, he worked as a bartender for a period of time. With all of the interactions he made with people on a consistent basis, it did not take long for him to become friendly with a lot of LA people. Not to mention, someone he knew had a connection to the NHL and this is how he started meeting pro hockey players. This blossomed into him becoming widely known as the go to guy for jewelry around the league. If an opportunity presents itself, take it! Larry’s friend introduced him to the idea of going into the jewelry business, and his decision to go for it would change his life. Rather than be frozen by inaction or indecision, Larry gave the venture a shot and it has paid off in a big way.  He has found a passion for jewelry, and his business has been booming! Honest business is the best form of marketing. Larry’s name has spread due to word of mouth and referrals as the people he works with are impressed by him as a person and by his products. He told us on the episode that he gives people honest prices for his items even if they have no idea what the piece could be worth, and he always tries to make a real connection with his customers. Many of his customers are making a purchase for a special occasion in their life, and Larry strives to make it as smooth as possible. - Start Your Own Podcast TODAY!

    TYLER BOSSETTI: Steps To Building Good Credit

    On this episode of Real Talk University, Andre and Christian sat down with Tyler Bossetti, an entrepreneur focused in credit and real estate. Tyler helps clients obtain funding for 0% and repair their scores for their businesses. He also crushes it as a real estate investor, and even lets people invest in properties with him to see a terrific return.  He dropped a ton of knowledge, but here are the 3 main takeaways: Risky investments are fine, as long as you trickle the profits into safe investments. Tyler is big into crypto investing at the moment, and he doesn’t advise against a volatile, uncertain trade as long as you have an exit strategy with it. Make your massive return, and then turn it over into a safe investment with stocks or real estate. No credit is worse than bad credit. Many people are scared to start building credit due to fears of the unknown. Not knowing how credit works translates to a fear of ruining your credit score, leading you to taking no action at all. But, it really is not as complicated as people make it seem. Get a credit card, make regular payments on the balance you accrue filling up your gas tank or going out to eat, and see your score get stronger as time passes. Make sure your initial credit card is from a trustworthy, major bank. Building a great credit relationship with a reputable and well known bank will benefit you in the long run, as the benefits these cards will offer are far superior what other banks can offer with their cards. As your business scales, you can even obtain business credit that will have really lucrative rewards as you rack up major points with your business expenses. - Start Your Own Podcast TODAY!
