As you go through different phases in life, it's important that you take an audit of everything you do. Everything from the way you communicate, to your hobbies, to the way you produce run your business. What served you in the past isn't always what's going to serve you in the future. As you're going through life, observe and pay attention. Is what you're putting into anything, worth what you're g...

We're excited to bring to you our 50th episode of Day One Dollar Zero. In the wake of all of the recent stories around politics, the super bowl, and sports icons passing away, we saw a lot of people sharing their opinion on social media. This sparked some thought with and made us start asking the question "Where are people putting their energy?". If you have an opinion to share, or you see an oppo...

The integrity behind your word and how you work with others is EVERYTHING in business. Putting your clients first doesn't always mean playing hardball or being combative with the other side of a deal either. It means doing what needs to be done to get the deal done smoothly for your client...even if that means putting your ego to the side.  Today's episode is about how we go about managing all the...

This is the follow up to our episode from last week discussing the real work that goes into a partnership like ours. From what most people see, we have a ton of fun and we enjoy doing what we do.

When you're on your path towards a goal, one of the biggest struggles you'll face is staying on task and not being distracted by how "far" it seems you're away from the finish line. The domino effect refers to the power of focusing on one step at a time. You don't need to have a crystal clear vision of the end. In fact, if you do, it can make you miss out on opportunities and become impatient in t...

In this episode, we discuss "the suck." What it's all about, how to embrace/welcome it and utilize it in proper form. Contrary to what most say about welcoming failure.

Then, you can attack your growth with a more focused intention. This is only possi...

Today's episode is a top around people (men in particular) that are constantly taking on new "goals", "challenges", or "movements" publicly. Only to fail in silence with no one keeping them accountable or holding them to their word.  It's easy to post a goal and feel good with the immediate support you get from people. It's another thing to keep that going publicly. Most people who take on these n...
