    How 3 Business Distractions Cost Me OVER $500,000 and Years of Time

    Alex Hormozi recently did a podcast title "What it really takes to grow your business" and in this episode he talks about the ever famous "Lady in the Red Dress" otherwise known as a distraction. This particular episode caused me to reflect on 3 things that I've done to screw myself in business over the last decade. I go into detail into what I did, why I thought it was a great idea, and the long term effects of pursing this distracting idea.   I took a business that was working and making money and used that money to try and start things that failed time and time again. I thought because I was successful at one thing, I would instantly be successful at anything and the part I kept forgetting was the amount of time it took to finally become successful at the first thing. I hope you can learn from my mistakes and at the same time enjoy the life experience behind them :)

    Monopoly - How it began....

    This podcast explores the origins and interesting facts surrounding the popular board game, Monopoly. The game's origin story dates back to 1903 when an American anti-monopolist named Elizabeth Magie created a board game called The Landlord's Game. It was a hit, and in 1935, Charles Darrow sold the patent to the Parker Brothers, who then paid Magie for her patent. Monopoly has since become a family classic, and millions of dollars of Monopoly money are printed every year. The podcast also highlights Monopoly's role in World War II and its use by British soldiers to plan escapes from German prisoner of war camps. Finally, it discusses the many record-breaking feats achieved while playing Monopoly, including the longest games played in unusual places, such as underwater, in a treehouse, or upside down.

    The Labor Force Pandemic

    If I see another “Now Hiring” sign, or better yet, a sign that says expect bad service because we are short staffed at a restaurant, I’m going to lose my mind. The world is different today, and there is no denying it. I’m pretty sure this statement officially makes me somewhat old. But I remember the days when getting a job was a big deal, because so many people applied for that job. Today people treat applying for jobs like online dating… They “apply” for everything, and even if they find a job, they keep looking for a different one and will jump ship faster than any other time in history. The interview process is so bad for us at my poster company, that the first question we have to ask people during an interview is: “Do you know what job you’re interviewing for?” Hosted on Acast.

    Peeling Back the Layers: Exploring the Fascinating History and Mystery Behind Dr Pepper’s Name

    The podcast talks about the history of sodas, which were originally developed as medicine in the 1800s. The oldest carbonated soft drink company in American history, Dr Pepper, got its start in 1885 at a pharmacy in Waco, Texas. The drink was created by a pharmacist named Charles Alderton, who developed a syrup that he could add to the soda fountain, and it was sold as a tonic that could help cure stomach ailments and pains and increase vitality and vigor. The soda was a hit and became a huge success, especially after being introduced at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. There are different stories about how Dr Pepper got its name, including one that involves a man dedicating the drink to the father of the girl he was trying to marry. Hosted on Acast.
