Some conversations go as planned, and some go as needed. This one went as needed.
On today's episode, we go deep with Executive Coach, Serial Entrepreneur, Sales Extraordinaire, and incredible human,â Ian Koniakâ
Yes, Ian has achieved massive success in sales for over two decades.
Yes, he was the #1 rep at Salesforce earning $750k+ per year on his W2.
Yes, he then started his own coaching business, earning $1.5M in Year 1, $2.5M in Year 2, and blowing the roof off the business.
But what Ian has also done - is transform his life inside out, and in this episode we explore how you can too.
Ian is all those incredible things I mentioned above, and more importantly, he's a phenomenal husband, father, and faith-driven individual on a mission to help individuals live a joyous and fulfilling life in alignment with who they want to become.
He's done the hard work, the đ đđđ work, that is required to achieve success in all areas of life,
And we go deep into the stories, work, and vulnerabilities that got him there.
If I were to summarize our conversation, it boils down to the fact that everything you want in life is on the other side of fear.
That the type of person you've always dreamed of becoming is on the other side of doing the hardest, scariest, most gut-wrenching work you can imagine.
But it's so worth it.
Joy. Freedom. Fulfillment. Alignment.
All of these can be yours by going deep, going inward, and shedding light.
And we discuss exactly how to get there.
____
Shame. Fear. Doubt. Guilt.
These are the big, scary feelings - the ones we donât want to address.
But the thing is, the deeper we go and the more we lean in, the more joy, freedom, fulfillment, and alignment we will experience.
They are directly proportional.
Here's what you can expect in this upcoming episode to help you grow personally, professionally, and holistically as an individual:
âą Oftentimes you get what you NEED, not what you want
âą How to achieve true fulfillment in life
âą How to live in alignment with your true authentic self
âą Holistic well-being and well-roundedness
âą How to excel in all areas of your life
And of course everything revolving around mindset, habits, and personal development tactics and strategies to help you become the best version of yourself.
We planned for 45-60 minutes, and went for two hours.

Recently I was offered a promotion for a leadership opportunity within our company.
And I said no.
Sometimes itâs okay to say no. Even when itâs a potentially life-altering career opportunity.
Because at the core of the decisions we make, it's important to stay true to ourselves, and do what is right for you.
Tune in to learn more about why I turned down this opportunity (even though I thought long and hard about it), and how you can think about your own career moves and opportunities.

2025 is here - and a diet reset was needed. Nutrition, health, and wellness are always at the forefront of my daily operations, and I'm currently doing the Whole30 Program and just completed a 4-Day Juice Cleanse.
Tune in to understand what they are, why I did, and how you can benefit from something similar.

Well, folks. Here we are. 365 days in a row writing on LinkedIn. Rain or shine. Without fail.
Kind of hard to believe, especially considering the year itâs been.
Iâve written from many locations in the world:
Trains in Switzerland, mountains in Europe, planes, Lyfts, airports, hotels, restaurants, Chicago, Death Valley, Louisiana, yoga studios, football games, gyms, the stair stepper, my car, my friendâs car, my friendâs friendâs car, New Jersey, Palm Springs, San Diego, Portland, LA, Austin, Minnesota, Kelowna, emergency rooms, my home, my parent's home -
The list is literally endless.
But regardless where we were in the world, or what was going on,
The work got done. The writing got published.
One day. One post.
At a time.
Iâve developed a very personal relationship with writing throughout this experience.
Writing has been my therapist.
My confidant.
My superpower.
My release.
Itâs brought me clarity and confusion, direction and wonder, worry and excitement, laughter and tears.
Itâs re-triggered forgotten dreams, and sparked dreams for others.
It's even brought me incredible connections and friends with people I would have never met otherwise.
It's challenged me to grow in ways I never thought I would, and forced me to continuously show up for others, and for myself.
It takes a lot for me to feel a strong sense of pride... but this one feels good.
And just to think it all started with one simple question from friend and mentor, Ian Koniak:
âđŸđđ đđđđđ đđ đđđđ đđ đđ đ đđđđ-đđđđ đđđđđđđđđ?â
Surround yourself with high caliber people, lead a high caliber life.
As they say, high tides raise all ships đą
Want to know the best part?
Today is actually Day 366.
(S/o my man Bryant Ferate for planting this seed early)
Total accident, laughed when I saw it.
But being a Bare Performance Nutrition Ambassador, right on cue for what I already planned:
To Go. One. More.

The entire trajectory of my life was altered this year with these two ideas:
1. Trusting my gut
2. The quote below đđœ
Letâs start with the quote in one of Sahil Bloomâs newsletters that, when I read it, stopped me dead in my tracks:
âđđ đČđšđź đ°đđ«đ đđĄđ đŠđđąđ§ đđĄđđ«đđđđđ« đąđ§ đđĄđ đŠđšđŻđąđ đšđ đČđšđźđ« đ„đąđđ, đ°đĄđđ đ°đšđźđ„đ đđĄđ đđźđđąđđ§đđ đđ đŹđđ«đđđŠđąđ§đ đđ đČđšđź đđš đđš đ«đąđ đĄđ đ§đšđ°?
âWhen making big, scary, potentially life-altering decisions, it can prove valuable to step out of your own situation, detach from the emotions, and see things from a birdâs eye view.
A âunique vantage point,â Sahil mentions, to see the bigger picture and surrounding landscapes.
An external perspective usually doesnât hurt. Sometimes, even makes things obvious. ââSecond - trusting your gut.
Easier said than done. They say you have a second brain - the one in your gut.
Iâm starting to question if that might actually be our first brain.
Rooted in the subconscious, supernatural, mystical realms of life.
Something you can feel, but canât quite explain.
But only you truly know what you feel. Because our other brain will argue head over heart all day.
And justify decisions with logic, ration, and reason, that makes total sense.
And thank God for that brain.
We need it. Especially in life or death situations.
Or making a data-driven business decision.
But, deep down, our gut instinct is a very powerful sense of reality, đđđđ reality, that is crucial to lean into.
And trust - no matter how scary it might be. You know when youâre going against it, and you know when youâre aligned.
From the wise words of Sahilâs grandfather:
đ«đđâđ đđđ đđđđ đđđđ đđđđđđđđ đđđđ đđđ.
So as we approach a new year, I encourage you to ask yourself:
What would đđđ be screaming at yourself to do right now⊠in the movie of your life?
And when you answer that question, trust it.
Do like Steve Jobs and, âHave the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.â

100 podcast episodes. Interviewing Dan Martell. Meeting Dan in person and sitting down in his studio to have a conversation, face-to-face.
All things I never thought would ever happen -
But sure enough, through imperfect action, consistency, and a desire to make it happen,
It happened.
In this episode, I share some of the secrets behind how we accomplished this milestone.

I was recently on a podcast with my friend Davidson Hang when compared me to the absolute legend, Colin O'Brady đ
Little did he know this was like the single greatest compliment he could have ever given me...

We talked all things:
âïž Being multi-faceted & living a life by design
â° Time management & productivity
đ± Journey in sobriety
đ The ROI and impact from coaching
đïž Podcasting tips, tricks, & secrets
And the best financial investment you can make đ°
Always fun to flip the script and jump on another podcast as a guest đïž

Recently I was dealing with a very unhappy customer. At first I let it ruin my day - overshadowing anything else I could think about or focus on.
Then I decided to do something about it.
Tune in to this episode to learn what happened, what I did, and how I used it as a growth opportunity - and how you can, too.

I had a goal to have my house ready for rent by my 32nd birthday
And I'm proud to say that I officially moved out, with a house ready for rent, on that exact day.
With the official listing going live the very next day â
Things were slow until I made some big decisions and stopped trying to do everything on my own...
Like outsourcing major work to the experts:
đïž Exterior / Interior Painting
đ§č Cleaning Crew
𫧠Carpet Cleaners
đł Landscapers
đ» Property Managers
And picking the brains of friends, family, and realtors who have done it before ("Who," not How...)

Over the years I have spent over $20k on coaching and personal development (and I guess this is not even counting the books, audibles, MasterClass, and all the other programs not top of mind).
Here's my #1 piece of investing advice: investing in YOURSELF is the #1 investment you can ever make.
Ainât no stock, mutual fund, crypto token, or real estate investment that will ever beat an investment in yourself.
There is uncapped ROI when you bet on yourself,
And a better you will ALWAYS beat any market.
This can come in many shapes, forms, and sizes:
âą Personal trainer in the gym
âą Nutritionist or quality food system
âą Taking a skill-specific course
âą Or simply taking some time off for yourself
Personally - I made a decision last year to invest in my own career development by joining Ian Koniakâs development program: Untap Your Sales Potential
It was the most money Iâd ever invested in myself, and I was pretty nervous.
The kicker, however, is I made back my money in the first month in the program.
The next 11 months was simply playing with house money.
And the next 70 years⊠who even knows.
They say interest compounds.
Well so does learning.
Never stop learning.

About a year ago I had a terrible quarter when I was working at DocuSign.
One of those seasons where nothing goes your way:
âą Deals slip
âą Timingâs off
âą Budgets freeze
âą Commits go Closed/Lost
âą Confidence plummets
In baseball we call it a slump, and I was pushinâ that Mendoza line.
Anyway, I let myself feel what I needed to feel in order to process what happened, and the very next morning I sat down with a pen and this yellow piece of paper.
And I got to work.
Wrote down any âSales Fundamentalâ I could think of that has helped me in the past.
And hereâs what I came up with:
âą Be engaged!
âą Active Listening - LISTEN!
âą Always schedule a next step
âą Be responsive
âą SIMPLE FOCUS: build pipe & close deals
âą Time Blocking + Execution
âą Daily Dials - 10 calls before 10amâą Plan Your Attack, Attack Your Plan
âą Follow-Up Emails -> immediately
âą Avoid social media & digital distraction
âą Always Ask for the Offer (AAFTO)
âą Meetings (High Value) -> Pipeline -> Closed Deals
âą Keep LEARNING!
âą HAVE FUN!
Since I wrote this list, Iâve either hit my number each quarter or been pretty damn close. And more important than the number, I feel really proud about the inputs.
I also noticed something interestingâŠThese seem less âsalesâ focused and more just âhow to excel at really anything you want to do and achieve in lifeââŠThereâs definitely a couple sales & business specifics in there, but looks like a pretty solid list for overall personal growth and being a professional.
Donât you think?
Anyways - hopes this help someone either get back on track, stay on track, or improve in any capacity.
Feel free to throw add anything thatâs helped you in the past as well!And as always:

âPlease donât try to go over it. Just go around.â
Me talking to myself about the sprinkler when mowing the lawn a couple weekâs back.
So what did I do? Of course, tried to go up and over.
And absolutely demolished the sprinkler head. Nice. Set out to just mow the lawn and now have an entire sprinkler system to fix.
After cussing myself out for the first 30 seconds (more like 15 minutes), I kept mowing and then decided that this was the perfect opportunity to learn a new skill.
You know, adopt an opportunistic mindset like we often talk about and turn a negative into a positive.
(Easier said than done)But when we can take a breath, remove emotions, and stay neutral, we can choose to RESPOND instead of simply reacting.
So I finished mowing, collected the shrapnel, and started watching a YouTube video on how to fix sprinklers.
Then, I had a breakthrough idea:Letâs work smarter, not harder, and ask someone who actually knows how to do this instead of trying to figure it out on my own.
đ€Ż
So I went and knocked on my neighbor's door, he assessed the situation, gave me my marching orders, and off I went to plug the hole and head to Ace Hardware.
I returned with my prized possession and excited to learn how to fix this thing. Not only did we fix it, but I learned how the entire irrigation system works along with some incredible personal stories we would have otherwise never connected on.
As with anything in life, how we deal with inconveniences and adversity tolerance will dictate the quality of our life and outcomes we create.Event + Response = Outcome
(Key word, âResponse,â not reaction)

Time.
How do we get more of it?
How do we best use it?
How can we spend less time doing things we donât enjoy, and more time doing the things we love?
In this weekâs episode of The Seeds of Success Podcast, weâre talking all things time, focus, and prioritization.
More specifically, how to strategically go about completing your projects and accomplishing your goals so that you can get the greatest ROI for your work, business, and life.
And simultaneously live a more fulfilling life.
In a rather silly (but very current reality) example, I talk about why I decided to not personally paint my house, and instead am outsourcing it to the pros so I can do the things that only I can truly do (and that I do best).
In this episode, my goal is to help you maximize your time and focus too,
To do more of what you love, and get your greatest ROI.
P.S. - I want to give the biggest shoutout to my parents for helping me with every detail of this project today.
I will always appreciate you all more than I can ever express.
