This episode we do things a little different.  We are trying to bring in a more authentic vibe to the show, rather than me trying to sound like I know what I am doing.  My guest today is a long time friend and we shoot the breeze for about an hour. On this episode I have co-founder of BodiKore, David Maka on the show to discuss his journey and much more. We hit so many topics that I don't even know where to begin :) Get your free copy of Expert Secrets here - http://bit.ly/2eGJenQ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/60days2living/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/60days2living/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/60days2living BodiKore – BodiKore.com David Maka Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/dmaka89

In this episode I actually flipped the script and had one of my good friends interview me for the podcast. When I was 22 years old I began running my very own supplement company named Mountain West Supplements.   This was my very first business and I had no idea what I was doing, but I was passionate about fitness, and loved making money. As you listen to this episode you will hear the lessons I quickly learned, the money I lost (ouch), and the way I am applying those lessons in my life today. I wanted to do this episode to show my audience that people are not always successful on their first try (or second).  But we can take each of these experiences and grow from them.    

On this episode I have Mike Farr (better known as SilentMikke) joining the podcast. Mike takes us through his journey of life, fitness, and business. We discuss the different social media platforms, building an audience, sponsorships, food, and more. Mike tells about some of the trying times in his life, and how he used that as motivation to work. Oh, and we talk sports!

Episode 19 has Chris from Perfect Little Bites joining the podcast to discuss his journey into owning his own business. We talk about using each job and experience as ways to learn, grow, and prepare ourselves for each "next step" of our lives. Chris was meticulous in picking where he worked because he was focused on building his skillset until the time he was ready to go out on his own. Chris has a great sense of humor and kept this interview fun and informative. Listen in and enjoy Chris' journey!

Korbin Voss joins this episode of 60Days2Living to discuss time he spent as a freelance writer, and what that taught him to become a self-published author. Korbin has always loved writing, and even when he was a little kid he knew that he wanted to be a writer. He never felt like school was helping him become a better writer, and he dropped out and became a freelance writer full-time. Recently he finished his very first book (Revenant - http://amzn.to/2j0WdTi) which is over 450 pages of Murder Mystery meets Lord of the Rings. He is almost finished with Part II of the trilogy and should be released early next year. Enjoy listening to what Korbin has to say about progression, surroundings, and writing.

In this episode I have Shane and Clayton on to discuss how we use credit cards to our benefit. We go over how we use them to earn cash back, travel for free, and how we use them without going into debt. There are some big names out there who are anti credit card, but I can tell you from first hand experience, if you do your research and do it correctly, your credit cards will work for you.

Kyle joins the show to discuss his budgeting system and how it can help you obtain wealth. Kyle tells us his background and how he experimented with different budgeting systems until he found the one that worked for him.

In this interview Brandan I discussed hard work, being frugal, networking, all while discussing Brandan's origin story. We also discussed his software that he is releasing named "Live Pigeon" which allows the user to push produced videos as "Live" videos on Facebook.     Myles:00:00                       What's going on and welcome out to another episode of the 60 days living podcast on this episode I have guest Brandon Fisher joining me. He is the owner of fish dog productions which is a video production company. So let's go. All right thank you for joining me for this episode of the 60 days of living pod cast you know Brandon and I sat there and we probably were shooting the breeze for two two and a half hours during this interview and we talked about so many great topics from frugality to hardwork to providing value to networking. And we're going to actually jump right into what brand is telling us his origin story. Brandan:00:41                       So for your audience that doesn't know I do video production and I've been doing it now for man almost I think just out over 14 years and that's it's interesting. Like where I got my start doing video because you know I was newly married at the time I was going to Boise State and I was getting a communication degree. Brandan:01:10                       What I really liked about it though is I could take video classes. Brandan: 01:13                       And we had a really good video program in high school started on VHS surprisingly to those that might not know what that is. So I you know shot on that in high school. Fast forward you know here I'm going to school and you know the video camera that they handed me was this Sony Handycam. Brandan:01:30                       And I was like dang man like I want to be professional like anyway so at that moment I was like you know what I wonder if I should just buy my own camera. Brandan: 01:41                       And like I said newly married at the time I remember like all of me and my wife's assets together maybe was over$2000 with cars and everything like not very much more names right. Young dumb and maybe that is what I say but it was interesting to me is like I went to her and I was like Hey. So they gave me this camera and it's just not good enough. Which is kind of funny now that I think about it some like hey that's it's crazy to me that what I proposed to her at the time was hey I think I should go buy this camera in her class correct for my class. OK. And that's a hard sell. Yeah. And there was$4000. That's an extremely hard sell. So I was like dang I want to take this serious and this is what I want to do. Brandan:02:33                       So at that time I was actually working for a video production company doing live events. They had this particular camera as well and I saw that they were renting it out and I was like man there's an opportunity here. So that's kind of how I pitched it to her that not only can I rent this out but I can use it for my classes. And then I can also do like other projects with it. And so anyway she said yes. Which thank goodness. And I was just told my wife the other day that I feel like that is her gift is the ability to be supportive and. And the reason I share this story with you as well is because it ties into everything with having a supportive spouse someone that believes in you. I told her that if she worked while I went to school that I would make it so that she didn't have to work because her biggest goal in life is to be a stay at home mom and I wanted to be able to support that. Brandan:03:34                       So we got married I bought this camera. And it's interesting I was telling miles just just today that I have a word in which is my why and it's provide. And when I got married that was like a huge deal like I was like my goodness I have to provide for my wife I have to make sure that like not only that I have a roof covering her head but that like I need to make sure that I can provide for her. And as our family expand expanded like we you know we had a we had our first child I graduated college and then actually those anyway. Brandan:04:22                       The details are OK but where I'm going with it is I graduated first and then we had. Then we had our child. But what was fascinating to me is I graduated with a communication degree. Love taking all these video classes and and again that's just kind of where I got like my star as far as like I wasn't doing anything that was like professional at that level yet but just getting. Of course at the time I thought everything into professional and awesome and just like we sometimes always do right we always do that sometimes our stuff is I think this podcast is great and it is right and it's. But as you started doing stuff more and more that's how you develop your voice that's how you develop what it is that you're doing. Myles:                                       05:03                       And so so I mean when you graduate we first came out of college was your first job. Like in the film or video production industry or did you like take a job doing some job that you weren't passionate about. Brandan:                                 05:17                       So OK so I worked all the way through college at at different like a live audio visual company. And so I did that for about seven years. My job didn't take seven years to graduate. But meaning like I worked all the way through and this might go with your 60 days to living show we cash flow to college. Yeah. I was able to make enough. I worked all the way through. Plus did schooling my wife she worked as well. And I mean man. Brandan:05:50                       Just hearing how many people out there have huge huge student loans to Arties to already have that star of not having student loans is like amazing. Myles:06:00                       And actually what's funny is just two episodes ago there was one on hardwork and you kind of already there were a few topics in it but it was hard work. And then also being able to convince your wife like putting in the effort into your relationships or your wife then in turn supports you like you talked about like you had a hard sell or selling your wife had to get this$4000 camera. And I think maybe that's where we had to put in that super hard work so then it's reciprocate like OK I'm going to support you in this because you supported me here. And then we also in that episode discussed working all the way through college like the hard work it does put you at such a greater advantage. Now I would say advantage but in a better place because you have different opportunities you can wait wait it out for that job that you wanted have had and take your job right away to pay back the student or you can kind of take your time and find the exact path that you want to take when you're starting off on that right foot without having the student loans. Brandan:06:53                       So yes. From there. What ended up happening is I got an opportunity to pitch a company so let me back up some working at this production company. Now the benefit of working so this is why it's awesome to work for other people and think about the things in which the education you can actually be getting at your current job and that you're at. I mean you work in Cleveland I guarantee you're getting a ton of value 100 percent. And anyway it just being around people and things like that. And so what the benefit that I got by working at a production company was I found out how they were charging their clients. And I think at the time they were charging like seventy five dollars an hour and I'm like dang I'm getting paid like 11. So I'm like What the heck. Brandan:07:43                       You know after again I was at this company for like five years and it's like you start seeing these numbers and say Man I wish I was making like 75 bucks an hour. Awesome right. So I had the opportunity where I was working with a dental. I had a dental client and they were based out of Seattle. And they said hey we want you to come and film a three day seminar. And I'm like cool. I already have my gear so I know how to charge because this company I'm with. And so I'm like I pitched this this company to do this video project for three days for eight thousand bucks cause I did the numbers and I'm like look this is what my this is what the production company I was working for were charged and I pitched it to them. Brandan:08:34                       What they say. Yes. I was like I felt so rich I was like oh my gosh. But at the same time I only had that one that one piece of equipment which was just my camera. So then what I did is I jumped online and I bought eight thousand dollars worth of equipment. OK. And so then all this equipment showed up and I'm like yes. Then I went to Seattle and I did the show and it was totally awesome because. Which is funny actually. I look back on the footage and it was bad. You know over here I'm like I'm pro. This is what I do and it is funny because at the end of the day I think the clients happy and so on. So it's it's all good it's not like I it wasn't a sham or anything. Brandan:09:18                       I didn't sell them snake oil. It was a they got what they wanted and they were happy. And then what's crazy is like I kept doing projects for them and it was a thousand dollars here. Another eight thousand dollars here you know and it just. Anyway it was. I

On this episode I have Drew Moorhouse join me to discuss his journey of buying and reselling items for a profit.  From things as small as a phone case, to items as big as cars. He gives his advice for those just starting out, and some of the issues he ran into.    

Episode 9 discusses "hard work". Many of us believe we are working hard, but does hard work really matter if it isn't for a good or the right cause? We can also be motivated by the people we surround ourselves with.  That is why some of us hire personal trainers, to push us to work harder and better ourselves. Align your goals and what is important to you with your hard work!

What a privilege it was to have Dana Derricks on the 60Days2Living podcast.   Dana has an incredible story, and he genuinely wants to help as many people as he can.   He is known as "The World's Wealthiest Goat Farmer", and he is famous for selling the books he has published for $400, $1000 & $2500 per copy!   You read that right, $400, $1,000 & $2,500 PER COPY OF HIS BOOK!   The reason he can do that is because of the amount of value he provides in each book, and guess what??? He is giving away his $2500 book FOR FREE!!!   highticketbooksecrets.com/free

In this episode I discuss the rollercoaster that is entrepreneurship.  I tell of my very first business and the errors I made, and the things I was able to learn. I also discuss the different levels of entrepreneurship to let you know that you don't have to be a "professional entrepreneur" to start a business or make a career out of something you love.

I had the privilege of having Shane and Clayton on this episode to discuss having different perspectives on what success truly is.  Each one of us had a different idea of what success meant, and each of our views of success have changed, and will continue to change as our lives progress.      

Over the past few years I have taken quite the interest in reading about and studying how we can change our mindset. Seems there are a lot of self help, motivational, and mindset books out there these days, but unless we turn those thoughts from wishful thinking into action, nothing will happen. In Episode 5 I ask you to set huge, crazy goals!  But I also ask that you take the time to map out and plan how you will achieve those goals. Dream outrageously big, put in the work, and love your life!

Had Shane and Clayton on with me again to discuss helping one another gain and maintain momentum in our own ventures.  We also discussed working to overcome our fears of what others think. Have a listen and leave a review!
