Hello listeners we are so happy to have you here today, and I am so happy to give you a brief intro into a good friend and guest of the show Dan Andrews. Dan is the co-founder of one of the largest location independent communities called the Dynamite Circle. The Dynamite Circle or DC as we call it is a private group of location independent entrepreneurs. The organization also hosts two key events each year called DCBKK and DCAustin.

We brought Dan on the show today to discuss life post the sell of his business. He recently wrote a book titled ‘Before the Exit | Thought Experiments for Entrepreneurs’ where he takes the readers through a process of asking questions that are really important if you are going to exit or sell your business. Hindsight is 20/20 and he has a very interesting perspective on many reasons why he would not have sold his business knowing what he knows now.
“We thought, we have these five or six challenges with our business. It’s worth a lot. Why not just sell it? Then those challenges will go away, and then they’ll be replaced by money!” Dan Andrews

Welcome back to the show listeners and we are glad you joined us today! A couple weeks ago we featured the founder of Natural Stacks, Ben Hebert on our show. Natural Stacks is a supplement company helping people reach their highest level of peak performance, naturally! We chatted about everything from branding, trends, rapid growth, hiring coaches and what Ben would do if he started all over in today's world.

Hey listeners, welcome back to the show! Do you know what a benchmark is? A benchmark is one of those times in your life that you know that you know that you know life completely changes after that moment. Today’s podcast is about one of those moments. Last week, I just got back from my first Baby Bathwater Institute event on an island in Croatia. A small group of us attended including a good friend Steven the CTO of Kyvio. We were both absolutely blown away by the experience, so much that we had to hop on the podcast and create a follow-up episode for the event. If you are thinking about checking out Baby Bathwater make sure you tune it. I think we can help you make up your mind!

Ep. 285 ~ Going Through a Rebrand and Up-Branding ~ Ben Hebert
Wednesday May 23, 2018
Wednesday May 23, 2018
Ben Hebert, Founder of Natural Stacks
~ Current Series ~
100 Interviews with 100 Location Independent Entrepreneurs That Have Over $1,000,000 in Annual Revenue
Hello listeners and welcome back to the show! Today, we have a very special show for you. Many of you know this already, but The Entrepreneur House is going through a rebrand. It has been a long process that has taken over a year and a lot of hard work. We are doing this for a couple reasons; One, the company and podcast is really growing in a different direction. While we have really enjoyed over three years of hosting entrepreneurs from around the world and creating some amazing experiences, we have to be honest with ourselves and admit, it is time to up-brand. Don’t worry though, we will still be creating amazing events for entrepreneurs and delivering some incredible content through the podcast. The second reason is, that the word ‘Entrepreneur’ is trademarked by Entrepreneur Magazine and they have been initiating lawsuits against companies that use the word ‘entrepreneur’ in their business. We interviewed David Lizerbram who is an attorney that represented a company while going through this process in Episode 211 ~ What Entrepreneurs Need to Know About Trademark and Copyright Law. This has become a very expensive and timely process for many companies, so long story short, we bit the bullet and are changing our name before this becomes an issue. But don’t worry, if you are currently subscribed to the podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn, PodBean or any other platform, you won’t need to change a thing. You will just see a name change when you go to look for the show.
So, we wanted to bring on an entrepreneur that has created amazing results building a 7-figure location independent business and knows a lot about the branding process. Enter, Ben ey bear Hebert. Ben is the founder of Natural Stacks. Natural Stacks is a supplement company that helps people achieve the highest level of performance with natural solutions that work. It is also a company that took Ben from less than $3,000 in his bank account to over $1,000,000 in revenue his first year in business.
On the show, Ben walks us through a rebrand and asks some really good questions that can help anyone creating a new brand or reestablishing their brand. From naming, colors, and logos, Ben shares the questions he had to ask himself and walks us through the process he went through branding Natural Stacks. Later in the show, Ben talks about getting to your next level of business, tapping into trends and what he would do if he had to start all over.
It is an incredible episode full of high-value content and without further adieu...Ben Hebert
“Just stay in the game. If you stay in long enough, you will find success, and you’ll make it happen!” Ben Hebert

Ep.280 ~ A 7-Figure Location Independent Essentialist ~ Dan Schwartz
Wednesday Feb 28, 2018
Wednesday Feb 28, 2018
Dan Schwartz, on Essentialism
Current Series: 100 Interviews with 100 Location-Independent Entrepreneurs that have over $1,000,000 in Annual Revenue
What is an Essentialist? It is a buzzword in entrepreneur circles around the world today and the book ‘Essentialism’ by Greg McKeown has been changing the way entrepreneurs tackle business and life. Essentially, an essentialist is a person that prioritizes his or her life focusing mainly on the essential things. Now, that can vary from person to person, but even Bruce Lee said: “It’s not the daily increase, but the daily decrease, hack away the unessential.”
Today’s guest is a natural and a master at Essentialism. Dan Schwartz has been on the show before, but we invited him back after he posted on Facebook about how he dissects and chooses to live as an essentialist. When I read it, it blew me away and we reached out to him immediately to interview him a second time on the podcast to talk about this post and to dive deeper into the study of Essentialism.
“Most of what people do are not revenue generating activities. They are just 100% time-wasting activities that aren’t going to affect their bottom line.” Dan Schwartz
Dan’s Essentialism Post from Facebook
I’m an essentialist…I don’t own a car. I don’t watch the news. I don’t have an office. I rarely buy clothes or shop for consumer goods. I only spend money on my health and in fleeting epic life experiences like travel, activities, amazing food, music, and recreation. I don’t have any social apps on my phone, so I only check social media 3-4 times a week on my computer. Most days I have zero plans. I only focus on and execute the most important thing and let my intuition guide my days. My business runs the day-to-day itself and is based on recurring revenue. I don’t have a 401K or fancy financial situation…just checking, savings, and basic investment positions.
I don’t let many people into my personal life (especially negative people) so as to go deeper with existing relationships and let new ones flourish organically. I don’t talk on the phone a lot, on average two important business calls a week. I only respond to texts so as to avoid spam. I don’t check business email as I have an assistant. I use a virtual postbox to receive mail so I can travel and still get important mail.
Day to day I literally just do what I want to do at any given moment, and trust myself enough to only want positive things…
All this comes at a cost. I often feel isolated, disconnected from the world, and blissfully ignorant, which is often perceived as apathy or selfishness. I sometimes feel misunderstood and I often feel a sense of guilt for not doing “more” with the freedom I have…almost an unfulfilled sense of obligation that’s followed me around my whole life, even after big accomplishments. I accept that. I accept myself and these decisions.
Luckily, I don’t really care what people think or how weird all these decisions may seem to the majority, as I’ve surrounded myself with people, like you all, that normalize the concept of “living life on your own terms.” Badass!
Perhaps, it’s an experiment in finding the edges of what freedom means to me, so that I can share these lessons with others who seek to explore what freedom means to them. I believe we are at the apex of human civilization, billions of years in the making. I believe that with technology and increased interconnectedness, we are entering a period where billions of additional people will begin to realize this potential for freedom as well. I am willing to fight for this.
Above all, I fucking love my life. I realize this freedom gives me the capacity to serve the world in a big exciting way. I accept the different seasons of my life. The ebbs and flows. I feel a calm before the storm, something big brewing, and I’m excited for what this upcoming “spring” season of life will help me manifest.
I’m insanely grateful for the lightness, peacefulness, and mental clarity that comes from living free from a lot of the shackles of modern day living. I wish more people chose less over more, the essential few vs. the trivial many, the 80/20 of living an epic life.
We are all blessed to live in the conditions that allow us to shape our lives as we wish. To choose how we want to be, feel, and show up in the world. So fucking blessed.
I’m grateful for you all for reading this and being part of this group. Please share more here if you haven’t yet so we can learn more about you.
Love your life. It makes things a lot easier. <3, -Dan

Rob Barry ~ Current Series: 100 Interviews with 100 Location-Independent Entrepreneurs that have over $1,000,000 in Annual Revenue I am continually inspired by entrepreneurs that push the limits of what is possible to follow through with their dreams of finding their own definition of success. Today guest is Rob Barry and during the interview, he shares with us how he went from being unemployed with $4680 left to his name, to a multi-million dollar exit. It just goes to show the process of entrepreneurship is one that many times requires a period of ‘volunteer poverty’ and a sincere drive to make things happen. Rob goes into the details about his experience mentioning a huge mistake that actually paid off big. He also addresses why he took a period away from location independence so he could focus on the growth of his business which led to another level of location independence. Lastly, Rob shares about life after selling his business and a few things that people need to be sufficiently happy. “A lot of times I find in life, the truly valuable people to know, are the ones who don’t want everyone to know that they’re truly valuable to know.” Rob Barry 01:51: Who is Rob Barry? 07:38: From $4680 Left and Unemployed to a Multi-Million Dollar Exit 16:11: Making a Huge Mistake that Paid off Big 19:29: Rob on Not Regretting Mistakes 21:13: Going From Location Independent, To No Longer Location Independent, To Location Independent Again To Grow the Business 27:41: Deciding to Exit His Business 32:13: Life After Selling His Business 34:37: Three Things a Person Needs to Be Sufficiently Happy “You don’t need to go out there and try to be the next Facebook.

I really think this a special time in entrepreneurs lives when they are incredibly optimistic about what is possible and they tune out the background noise to build something that will change their life forever. Today’s guest is JF Brou and he did just that. JF just turned 30 and has already started six businesses one of them hitting over $1,000,000 in its third year. JF is the founder of Interstude, Exchange Your Life, Rep Your Flag Festival, Poutine Canada, TravelReadyStore.com, and Oui Are Entrepreneurs. All of these businesses are about creating experiences for the 19 - 24 age range of millennials to travel and create lifelong memories. JF and I chat about how he built his businesses up, going through the hard times being a young bootstrapper, redesigning his business models to be location independent and the mentality shift needed to reach 7-figures. “I think it’s to the core of human beings growth.

Today we dig into Andres’ experience starting two businesses that failed and then returning to the 9-5 life.

He also shares the simple tactics he used, and continues to use, to grow Boutique Japan into the incredible business that it is today. “You shouldn’t be looking for these innovative business ideas necessarily.

Ep.269 ~ 7-Figure Entrepreneurs Traveling Non-Stop with 6 Kids ~ Ka Sundance
Sunday Oct 15, 2017
Sunday Oct 15, 2017
Current Series: 100 Interviews with 100 Location-Independent Entrepreneurs that have over $1,000,000 in Annual Revenue What are the pictures in your mind that come up when you think of traveling the world with children? Most people think of the challenges, the fears, the lack of support and the money. Of course, you would need to be very rich to make this happen, right? Our guest today has been traveling the world almost non-stop with his wife for nearly 20 years and everywhere they go, their kids come along. And guess what? They don’t just have one or two kids. Not three or four...they have six! Yes six, and they are one of the few truly nomadic/location independent entrepreneurs of the world that travel long term as a family and without a home base. On top of that, they are very successful in business, but they didn’t start out that way. They started out as poor backpackers in their early years trying to get by while traveling the world, and they forged a life of their own when the world told them they were wrong. Now, people can’t wait to ask them how they did it! They are The Sundance Family and today the father, Ka Sundance, joins us from Slovakia to share about how he and his wife Katie made this dream a reality. “I felt like a lot of people, and I still feel a lot of people are living lies. Lies toward themselves, trying to live a life that is supposedly normal, but is making them unhappy.” Ka Sundance “Home is where the heart is, and my heart is with the family.” Ka Sundance 01:38: The Sundance Family 05:26: The Dawn of the Sundance Family as Entrepreneurs 06:32: The Sundance Family’s Decision to Go Raw Food and Vegan to Save Their Son’s Life 14:22: Finding Out a Baby is On the Way in South America, and Deciding to Keep Traveling 20:21: Ka’s Family Reaction to World Travel with Small Children 22:52: Ka On Making the Leap to Travel with Kids 26:57: How Ka and Katie Define Security for Their Family 31:40: Maintaining Healthy Long-Term Intimate Relationships while Traveling 38:37: Ka’s Dream for His Children 45:55: Tips on Growing a 7-Figure Location Independent Business “True security comes from within!” Ka Sundance Honorable Mentions: The Sundance Family YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/rawfoodfamilylife Clutiva Cultiva.org Days for Girls https://www.daysforgirls.org/ Contact Info: http://www.thesundancefamily.com/ https://www.facebook.com/SundanceFamily/

We dig into some great ideas about how to better understand yourself as an entrepreneur, the ‘Hell Yes, or No’ game, and the near death experience that completely shifted Jules’ life. “I found that when it wasn’t a ‘Hell Yes’ it turned into being not a ‘Hell Yes’ experience. And when it was a ‘Hell Yes’, it truly was a ‘Hell Yes’ experience!” Jules Schroeder 01:32: Who is Jules Schroeder? 04:00: Jules on Self Care 06:47: Triggers to Recognize It Is Time for Self Care 10:49: On Healing Yourself After Being Sick 14:49: Jules’ As An Entrepreneur 24:21: Learning to Understand Yourself Better 26:22: The ‘Hell Yes, Or No’ Game 31:14: How to Tell if Your Business is Still a ‘Hell Yes’ 35:48: Jules’ Near Death Experience 43:13: Improve Singing “The degree to which one can hold massive success is also the degree in which one has held and continue to holds massive failure.” Jules Schroeder Honorable Mentions: Chosen Experiences http://chosenexperiences.com/ Five Element Acupuncture https://www.rennwellness.com/five-element-acupuncture.html DNX Conference https://www.dnxglobal.com/ Contact Info: http://unconventionallifeshow.com/ http://www.julesschroeder.com/ Subscribe to our podcast on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/entrepreneur-house-live-in/id1069958541?mt=2

Current Series: 100 Interviews with 100 Location-Independent Entrepreneurs that have over $1,000,000 in Annual Revenue “Do what you want, when you want, where you want, with who you want!” is the advice Nadav Wilf, successful entrepreneur, business coach, life enthusiast, and guest on our show today. Nadav joins us today to chat about becoming freer in your decision making and tapping into the abundance of the world. He started out as a hustlin’ entrepreneur in his early twenties working hard to build sustainable businesses.

On today’s episode, we welcome Philippe Bourdeau Founder of HammockUniverse.com. Philippe has been selling hammocks online since 2001 and is now based in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
