You know the feeling you get when you’re surrounded by your friends and family?

Or when you’re in a big crowd of fans cheering on the same team?

It’s a sort of happiness, comfort, support, and understanding, right?

Well, at least for me it is.

When you’re with your people, there’s a collective energy that’s hard to describe.

40: How (and why) to Build Your Own Mastermind Group, Plus How You Join One With Fellow Side Hustlers

April 26, 2024February 27, 2014

I’m Nick and I have a confession. When I recorded this episode with Alex Barker from AlexBarker.org (The Leadership Dojo podcast), I had never been in any sort of formal mastermind group. Listen to the collective gasp in my blogger/podcaster/entrepreneur-type circles, that information is blasphemy! It’s totally my fault. Masterminds are something I see huge … Read more

Ting Review: How to Save $804 Per Year on Your Cell Phone Bill

March 29, 2025February 24, 2014

Earlier this year, Bryn and I switched cell phone providers from Verizon to Ting.

Our bill last month was $59 for 2 iPhones, less than half what we were paying at Verizon.

Over the course of the year, we’ll save $804 or more.

(Our average Verizon bill in 2013 was $126.26.)

So what’s Ting?

It’s OK, I’d never heard of them either.

The Most Important Skill for Entrepreneurs (and 7 Ways to Cultivate It)

November 16, 2021February 17, 2014

What’s the most important skill for entrepreneurs?

Ask a dozen people and you’ll probably get a dozen answers.

Sales is a popular response. After all, if an entrepreneur can’t sell customers on his product, team members on the vision, or investors on the potential, the business won’t go anywhere.

The Scariest Question Ever (and the only right answer)

September 28, 2023January 27, 2014

As adults (gasp), we face dozens of questions everyday:

What should I wear?
What should I have for breakfast?
What route should I take to work?
What should I listen to on the way? (hint: try a podcast)
Most of these questions are pretty small and trivial. The answer you choose probably won’t have any lasting long-term impact on your life.

I mean, Cheerios vs. toast, not exactly a game-changer.

But what about the deeper questions?
