Wednesday Sep 29, 2021
Wednesday Sep 29, 2021
Welcome to The Business Method Podcast listeners and today do we have a treat for you. One of the most iconic investors & entrepreneurs in modern history is joining us on the podcast. Jim Rogers is his name & we actually had him on the show a few years ago & are fortunate enough to get him back for another episode. If you don’t know who Jim is I suggest you Google him right now & you will start to see why I am so excited to chat with him again. Jim is one of the most seasoned international investors on the planet & I’ll give you a brief outline to give you an idea about his expertise.
Jim was born in Alabama in 1942 & attended Yale in the mid-60’s, then headed to Oxford to get another degree in Politics & Economics. Next Jim began his Wall Street career. In 1970 Jim apprenticed with Arnhold & S.Bleichroeder, which is where he met George Soros. In 1973, Jim started together with George Soros the Quantum Fund with only $600 in his pocket, one of the first truly international hedge funds. Over the next 10 years their fund went up 4,200% when the S&P500 only rose less than 50%. In 1980, Jim retired & traveled by motorcycle through China. Continuing to manage his own portfolio. Jim served as a guest professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Business. In 1990, Jim set out to fulfill a lifelong dream: motorcycling 100,000 miles across six continents – an achievement that landed him in the Guinness Book of World Records. In 1995, he wrote his first book Investment Biker: Around the World with Jim Rogers. As a private investor, he constantly analyzed the countries through which he traveled in search of investment ideas. He recorded his unique journey in that book. In 1998, Jim founded the Rogers International Commodities Index, predicting that the next commodity bull run had just begun. The index measures 35 different commodities from 11 different international exchanges & was up 170% over the first decade. In 1999, Jim embarked on a Millennium Adventure, traveling around the world for 3 years, passing through 116 countries & covering more than 152,000 miles – setting yet another Guinness World Record & giving him the title by Time Magazine as, The Indiana Jones of Investing. He recounted this journey in his book “Adventure Capitalist: The Ultimate Road Trip”. In 2005, Jim wrote Hot Commodities & the book A Bull in China. Also in 2007 Jim moved his family to Singapore to be closer to the hottest market in the history of the world saying, “In my view, China is going to be the most important country in the 21st century,”He is regularly featured in leading international media outlets, including Time, The Washington Post, The New York Times, Barron’s, Forbes, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, The Business Times

Ep.521 ~ CryptoCurrency for Dummies ~ Gerbz
Wednesday Sep 22, 2021
Wednesday Sep 22, 2021
CryptoCurrency, BitCoin, DogeCoin, Ethereum these are all newer terms for a new form of currency that to be honest is now a major player in global finance and now a part of human culture. It is the first global non-governmental regulated currency in the history of the world, and it was made by the common people for the common people to keep the governments of the world out of our bank accounts. As an American myself and most of us have never experienced governments taking our money….well except for our taxes, and some of those taxes that you are paying, if you do some indepth research, you might not approve of, even if you are a good red blooded tax paying American. But, there are many governments in the world, even today that go right in and take peoples money from their bank accounts. It happened in Argentina in the 90’s. And whether you know it or know, even the good ole USA plays with the value of the American dollar and how much you can spend with it on a regular basis. So you might not see that they’re playing with our money, but they are, and they have for decades.
This leads us to this newer phenomenon called CryptoCurrency. It is, we think and we hope, turning out to be a form of currency, with the idea that money exchanges can happen and the governments of the world have no idea they happened. You can hold wealth that you earned and those governments won’t know about it unless you decide to tell them.
Today on the podcast we have a friend of the show and Crypto expert who goes by Grebz. Gerbz has been holding Crypto pretty much since it formed about a decade ago. He even started a business that accepted only CryptoCurrency so he could get more of it. Gerbz is the founder of BitLift, a crypto eComm business with a crypto educational aspect, and he is the host of The BitLift Podcast.

Ep.518 ~ A Safe Business Model to Hit $5 Million in 5 Years ~ Joe Pulizzi
Wednesday Sep 01, 2021
Wednesday Sep 01, 2021
Today my amazing listeners I am thrilled to welcome back to the podcast Joe Pulizzi. It’s not often we have guests back on the show, so that might be a premonition to everyone out there how much I like our guest today. Joe was on our podcast back in 2017. Joe’s episode was very memorable for me because of the insight that Joe laid out for content focused businesses, and to me his message made so much sense.
There were a few points that Joe explained that really helped me along to continue to build this podcast. One was that you can’t always monetize your passion. We have seen a lot of businesses fail due to people trying to monetize their passions, and it has led to a lot of heartbreak, wasted time, and mounds of debt. The second point that Joe made was that media channels are the original content marketing businesses for 200 years before content marketing was even a thing. They build a massive audience, sell the audience what they want, and then diversify.
Joe started Content Marketing Institute in 2007. Over the years he built an incredibly successful business around content marketing helping entrepreneurs all around the world. Eventually, their live event became the largest event in the world for content marketing and Joe sold his company for $30 million dollars. Joe then unofficially ‘retired’, became a novelist and focused on his non-profit. Then Covid hit in early 2020. People started reaching out to him for help to start content based businesses most likely due to the fact that so many people were out of work, staying at home and had little to do. He noticed a spike in his book sales that he published back in 2016. He also noticed a lot more momentum on his podcast that had been stagnant for a few years. People were looking for a solution so Joe put his mystery novel away and released a new version of his book Content Inc. He started a new newsletter, fired up the podcast and he is back in business.
Today, we are going to dissect that book, and let me be the first to tell you, it is a darn good book to dissect for what is happening in the online world and global economy today.
