Dr. Jeremy Weisz: 19:20
I knew it. Mike.
Mike Agugliaro: 19:21
Yeah. If I woke up at 4:30, Jeremy, I would be dry heaving and throwing up because I just don’t wake up. And a funny story, somebody told me, they said, well, what do you what time you wake up? And I said, well, when my body wakes up, I never use an alarm clock unless I have a speaking gig or something. And when my body wakes up, the first thing I do is I, I wake up, I’m thankful.
I am very grateful to my eyes opened up. I’m like, man, one more day I’m going to hug my wife and probably slap her ass or something, and I’m going to tell my son he’s amazing and communicate with my daughter. And then I grabbed my phone and I go right on Facebook. And this guy says to me, you know, it’s proven other people who, you know, go on Facebook first thing in the morning are less successful than everyone else. So I said to him, I said, oh, well, could you share with me how life and business is going?
He goes, it’s horrible. It’s no good. I said, you should go on Facebook in the morning. I told them, because clearly it’s not affecting me, right? So I’m not saying all those things aren’t good.
I’ve done lots of meditation and I am as woo-woo energetic as anybody on the planet. But I am saying that it’s not a one-size-fits-all. It’s a learn and expand and build your formula for you. And if you’re willing to test your formula, you find out when’s the best for you. Learn.
I look at a lot of people. They’re working out first thing in the morning and I say, why do you do it? And they say, that’s when I have the most energy. I said, well, I think it’s ass-backwards. I think you should do what makes you the most money and scales your life.
And then when you have a dip, that’s when you work out to do what we call a second prime time to boost your energy. I said, why don’t you try that? Because if you have that much energy, your mind is so sharp. What if you focused it right? What if you focused it right on your business, or your family or your relationship, you know, and a lot of them try it and everything changes and they turn around and look, I’m not saying I have the best results, but I mean, in the last four years I’ve helped create well over now over 100 Deca millionaires.
I have trained over a thousand business owners, 20,000 tradespeople, been through my trainings and that’s over five years ago. So I’m not telling everybody to listen to what I’m doing and just do it. I’m just saying entertain and give it a shot and see if it helps shift the way you are functioning today. And question here’s the second phrase I’ll give everybody, Jeremy, if there was a way to do that better or different, what would it look like that just so everybody listening, that’s made me more millions probably than any other phrase. If there was a way to do that better or different, what would it look like?
I look at sales processes, marketing operations, systems, whatever it is. And I just say to myself that one phrase over and over, and that’s why everything I built, it’s been pretty tough for people to chase that freight train, you know.
Dr. Jeremy Weisz: 22:32
Yeah. And I, you know, I love what you said because everyone’s different, right? Everyone, you know, maybe, you know, wakes up at a different time. They do different things, have different routines. You know, Perry Marshall I love his book detox, declutter, dominate.
And he talks about the Renaissance time like in the first thing in the morning. And so I had one of my daughters read it. And she is I’m like, so what are you going to do different now that you read it? She’s like, well, I’m going to start. I was shocked, I thought she was going to say nothing, you know, but, you know, just scroll more on social media.
But no, she’s like, I actually am going to start journaling a little bit first thing in the morning to get my thoughts out. I’m like, okay, cool, right? And so he definitely talks about getting those most important things, you know, whether it’s business things. Right? Right.
First thing when someone’s ready to start the day, you know, you’ve worked with a lot of business owners, right. And so I’d love to hear what are business owners maybe not thinking about.
Mike Agugliaro: 23:32
Yeah. Yeah. And you mentioned Perry, another brilliant mind. You mentioned Brian Kurtz in The Million. Brian Kurtz is actually not only brilliant, he still gets the award for the nicest human on planet Earth.
Just so you know, like I’ve yet to meet anybody that gets that award. What are business owners not thinking about? My. Over three decades now, I’ve been helping people with their mind, understanding their limitations, their limiting beliefs. And we’ve become, Jeremy, a world.
And hopefully this doesn’t activate or trigger anybody. We’ve become a world where significance is built on these things like, hey, I have ADHD and I have OCD, and I have anxiety and I have depression and I have this and that. And I’m not saying they’re not real, and I’m not saying the doctor didn’t prescribe you your worldly new identity. I’m just saying for over three decades, I’ve been able to help people remove these things where they no longer say, and I had someone say something funny. They said, you know, when kids are overactive in school, they try to give them medication because, let’s face it, and I have to go, oh, they’re built.
They should, they were born to sit still at a desk all day. And I’m like, and someone said instead of giving the kid medication to slow down, we should give the teachers all medication so they could keep up with them. Right? I thought that was brilliant. But my point about this is business owners are not focusing on their past and their past.
I know a lot of people say you’re past only defines your future if you live there, but you actually are living there because unless you rewire and change it, your past is always you’re constantly reflecting on it. And I solve something. The last couple years I found that trauma is not just about you were bullied or beaten. People actually have marketing trauma. Let me make my point.
People out there, they invest in TV or radio, they do direct mail and they put 10,000, 15,000, whatever it is, and they don’t get a return. And they go, oh, I didn’t get a return. Now someone else says, well, you should try doing this. And they go, no, no, no, because they actually have marketing trauma. And until they process the marketing trauma, they’ll never get world-class marketing results.
Let me make another one. I think people have sales trauma and people say, what do you mean? How does someone get sales trauma? Well, if you were a kid and I know I’m probably sharing some things nobody ever heard or thought about. And that’s the gift of, you know, you being on Doctor Jeremy’s show here, and you had a lemonade stand as a kid, and you built it, and you stood out there and it was hot, and you had that lemonade, whatever, crystal light shit in there.
And you said lemonade. Lemonade and car went by. Thank God for the one neighbor and your mom, right. Who gives you a couple bucks? You were taught as a young kid in your mind, that asking for a sale is actually a bad thing.
It doesn’t work. Don’t speak up. Nobody buys from you. So if you want to know why I think a number one destroyer of not creating entrepreneurs but destroying it is damn lemonade stands as a kid that were unsuccessful, let alone it was parents that probably are not business parents telling the kid to set up the lemonade stand. So because if it was an entrepreneur, let’s face it, we did have one last year.
We were bike riding. Me and my wife. After meals, we walk or bike-ride and the kid was so great. Would you like some lemonade or a bracelet? And we take Apple Pay.
And I went, there you go. That’s the modern day age. And the person was still asking for the sale. Right. And of course, I’m sure they made money.
So what happens? That person grows up and has not sales trauma has a sale superpower. So look at every aspect of your life. Why did somebody not start their own business? Because at one time they tried selling bracelets and they failed as a kid.
So what do business owners not thinking about? They’re not thinking about all their past experiences that are creating their current reality. Now, I don’t want everybody to think I’m just this foo-foo mind guy that says, you know, you could have positive thinking because that stuff doesn’t change anything. I am an expert at marketing, sales, operations, systems, scaling, exiting and all that, but the only reason I’m an expert at it is because I know human behavior and I only know it. And I say over 30 years because when you’re on your own at the age 15, like I was, you have a choice.
You either learn how to create success or you become a statistic. And I refuse to become a statistic. Statistic. I wanted to create success. So I knew the way that I had to finally create success was break through my own mind.
That’s why I wrote a book. Oh, I have it here. I wrote this book, Mind Power. That’s my latest book I wrote, and I wrote it because after doing I think this is my number 28th book, after writing 27 books on business and marketing and sales and recruiting and all this stuff, I said, there’s one thing missing, and I only solved it, Doctor Jeremy, because I worked with a thousand people, and I kept seeing the same patterns. And the pattern was, you cannot pour amazing information on top of quicksand and expect it to last.
And people’s minds are programmed that if you try to put skill sets on top of trauma or all these limiting beliefs, it just lasts and it falls through. So what did I do? Well, I’ve created a lot of success coaching people and helping them because the first thing is I just got to get their mind realigned, not with positive or negative, because there is no positive or negative thinking. It’s only the definition you give it. I needed to help them see and create their mind in a superpower which made me write Mind Power and then boom, man, I could take any struggling business and create them into new success faster than I believe anybody today.
Dr. Jeremy Weisz: 29:53
Like, you know, if anyone wants to check them out, you can get those on Amazon and check it out. It’s Mind Power. The 17 secrets of Using Your Thoughts to powerfully accelerate every area of your life. What’s a favorite story or piece of that book for you?
Mike Agugliaro: 30:09
Yeah. Thought, word and deed. What you think is creating your reality. And most people are kicking their own butts. They’re jujitsu in their own mind.
Based off of their life and all of you listening, just ask yourself, what are you telling yourself before you go to bed? What do you tell yourself when you wake up? And what are you telling yourself during the day? So your thoughts normally create your words. I hear people all the time.
I’m sorry. I hope I’ll try and I am as I do prescribe to this theory of spelling is putting spells on things, and the first spells you’re doing is putting upon yourself. You know, I used to in all my trainings, I say we’re going to remove try hopes and maybes because anytime my friend said I hopefully can make it there by four. They’re always late. I’ll try to see if I can come help you move.
They never show up. And anytime somebody says maybe it will work and it never works. So when you redefine your thoughts, your words will change. And then the deed is the action. And you’ll only take the.
The amount of action effort is based off of what you’re saying in your mind and out your mouth. If you think it’s not going to work, it probably won’t work. And I see a lot of people with fantasies today, but they don’t have the skill to create the realities now. You know, look, the secret sauce is, you know, the marketers today, I like to see myself as a high-integrity marketer. I’m not a manipulator.
And I don’t try to tell you like, you’re 20 years old. You broke. You’ve been on the street, and I’m going to make you wealthy in 36 hours or less. But a lot of marketers, you know, they play that fantasy game. If I could get you to believe in it enough, it’s enough.
It will just happen. It’s a good way for you to be broke and your wife to divorce your ass, right? I’m in the reality game. Let’s. Let’s create new links in your mind, and then let’s show you how that goes together.
And inside that book, I have some diagrams of stuff. If you just take this one thing, what am I thinking? What am I saying? And what am I doing with what I’m thinking and saying? Everything can really start to shift inside your life.
So yeah, that’s one of my favorite parts in there.
Dr. Jeremy Weisz: 32:26
Yeah. No, I love that. Thanks for sharing that. You know, I’m curious the you know, the challenges, right? We learned a lot from hard times and challenges.
If anyone’s been in a B2C business, it’s no joke, okay? You’re dealing with whoever calls, right? And all their stuff. So maybe start there. Like what?
Have some challenges that you learned from that business that you then took, you know, to the other businesses?
Mike Agugliaro: 32:55
Yeah, every business had very similar challenges. And I’m going to give you the solution that I believe solved. Because every business you need leads. You have to convert some kind of leads. Right.
You need some kind of people to process something. And there’s one. Well, there’s two words that I’ll give everybody that I believe changes the game. The first word now being in martial arts for over 40 years now since I’m 15, there’s a word that I was taught at a very young age and it was called mastery. Mastery and mastery is being better tomorrow than you are today.
With intention. Right? With intention. So the first thing that makes everything go a lot easier is stop dabbling and start mastering. Now, mastering doesn’t mean doing, I don’t, I don’t try to learn how to use software.
I don’t try to learn all this AI stuff. But I’m also not ignorant. Mastery gives me the skill of understanding. I have a quick rule of thumb in business, as soon as you think something’s an advantage, hire the smartest person as fast as you can to tell you how to do it or do it for you. That’s it.
And I’ll share with you. That’s probably been the secret sauce for almost every wealthy person that I know. And that’s why some of you might have judged and said, it’s not true when I’m investing this year. And you’re right. It’s probably not true.
It’s probably more than what I said. I’ll spend this year because I want to move that fast. And that’s what gives me a life by design where I could say no to. I say no to a lot, and I only say yes to what? To what I want.
The second word is movement. I think people are trying to create money, but it really is a glorified job for people. They don’t really they believe in the business, but they don’t live it. See if you live it. It.
It flows through your veins. It’s in your DNA. And when you create a movement, it brings people to you. It brings leads. You don’t have to convince people to buy.
They just like, I don’t have to convince people to buy from me because one, I have a track record and also we over deliver and we don’t have guessing. Right? We don’t act like we’re bringing smart people to the room. Jeremy. We are the smart people in the room.
We have the brains there to work on. Everything from it doesn’t matter if it’s copy, marketing funnels, sales, operations, systemization. I mean, we got 18 or 19 team members. We run virtually in six different countries right now. So if you look at those two words, you start to embrace the word mastery.
Mastery of yourself, mastery of your mind, mastery of your habits, mastery of the patterns. right? And mastery of your relationships. And you create a movement. You will know you don’t have a movement when you say, “Thank God it’s Friday.”
If you’re looking forward to Friday so you could be off and take off the weekend. You have a job. You call yourself an owner when you have a movement. First off, my wife and I, we have such a great life, we never know what damn day it is. So I have to constantly have mechanisms for my team to tell me you have a podcast, be on it.
So we never know what damn day it is. And also, when you have a movement, it doesn’t matter to us. I’ll do this podcast on a Sunday afternoon, a Saturday night, a Monday morning. It doesn’t matter because it’s life, right? And there is no life business balance.
There’s life and then there’s components of business in it. But without a life, there is no business entity. So those two words, if you create things into a movement and it’s not a job, it’s a passion and it becomes your sole purpose. You’ll live in a state of power. And every day you say to yourself, which I do every night.
Every night I have a routine. I say to myself, I’m grateful for three things, because I think most people with gratitude exercises, they have it wrong. They’re only grateful for what happened. And I’m not only grateful for what happened, I’m grateful for what’s happening. And I’m grateful for what’s going to happen.
I call it the triple gratitude, right? And if anybody has gotten great results from gratitude exercises, well, try those three and you’ll see you’re going to have a triple play of power here. Because the ones brings the future in, the one recognizes the now and the one recognizes how powerful the past was to get you to now. And the second thing I do is I just say to myself, if you let me wake up tomorrow morning, oh, I will play full out. I will change lives, and I will live the life that I was built to live to, to remove suffering and impact people.
And that’s every day in the first thing in the morning, when my. When I wake up, I smile and I go another day, man. And this ain’t no fairy tale bullshit that people and I don’t know if you got to bleep out everything I say. But old school Italian lets it roll. This ain’t no fairy tale.
Like you’re going to hear this and then you’re going to see me, you know at Disney World. And I’m a completely different person. That’s not it. What I’m saying is what I do and what I do is what I share. And I think, Jeremy, you know me long enough to know that’s probably true.
I am extremely congruent because that’s who I am. I have no alter ego. I’m not showing up as Superman today and go back in Clark Kent. I am this identity. This is how I show up.
I’m one identity and I live within that identity. Yeah.
Dr. Jeremy Weisz: 38:52
I’m curious. Some learnings from exiting businesses for someone’s like, they’re listening. They’re going to be selling one day. Maybe they’re in the midst of selling. What were some learnings from that?
Mike Agugliaro: 39:07
Biggest learning is I never sold a company. I sold myself into a bigger future and people should let that resonate. Someone texted me today, they just sold their business. I said, what’s next? They said, I don’t know.
I said, you better figure it out before depression does, because if you don’t have what’s next, you could get lost. So that’s a big thing. I knew when I was selling myself in the biggest future. When I sold in 2017, I sold a $32 million service company. We had 165 trucks on the road, 200 employees.
And I mean, that was impressive in 2017, based on what I know now. Almost. You know, eight years later, I if I was in a service company, I could do ten times that in half the time I proved it because I have clients that I taught that have done way more in a, in a shorter. I did that in a decade. They’re doing it in half a decades or shorter now.
What I learned from that one was exiting is a blueprint. And if you don’t, if you don’t know how to do it and you don’t have smart people in your corner, you can make big, devastating mistakes. And also, it’s filled with wolves, and they just want nothing more than their share. So you need to have a team that’s proven that aligns with your integrity. Or I watched a lot of people get slaughtered after an exit.
I was really proud because look, when I started CEO warrior, which was a coaching organization. It was a best practice. I don’t do a best practice anymore. And that was in 2014. And people used to come and visit my building and my company, and they were in awe.
And when I was going to sell my company, my partner said to me, they said, well, why would people come and learn from us? The part of them coming was to walk through the company. I said no, the part wasn’t to walk through the company. The part they really want is wealth someday. So I’m going to prove to them we could sell a company and do it unlike anybody else has ever done it.
We’re going to sell it for super high multiple top dollar. We’re going to sign your name and we’re never going to go back the next day, which is pretty unheard of in most exits. So what do we do. We sold it for top multiple, sold it for the exact number that I picked to the penny, which is the number I picked in my mind two years, 18 months before I picked the number and I sold it to the penny. Signed my name.
Never went back another day. So what I learned is you’re in control of your future. If you have the brains and the blueprint to do it. The second exit and I only sold that because nobody in the world was changing the blue-collar space. It was all filled with suit-and-tie people.
You know, people afraid to curse. I mean, we were blue-collar workers, for God’s sakes. We’re from middle class. Like, we’re from grit. Our dads worked themselves to death, and it’s all we knew.
And once I started helping people, I could not serve two families at the same level. So the company had to go. I loved my service company gold medal. I had 200 employees. I mean, I used to our company meetings were like.
It was like a heavy metal training, for God’s sakes. I mean, people banging tables. I mean, I had the most powerful culture in the planet, but the world needed me. The calling was change the blue collar space. And in five years, I believe I made more impact.
Deep impact I’m not talking about just scaling companies. I’m talking generational mind thinking impact in humans. And did that in five years. And then Covid came in and we helped people through it. I mean, the industry, Jeremy, the industry was down like statistically by 28%, which was huge.
My average client through Covid was up by 300% because I was on with them every day. Because I don’t I don’t fall into chaos when chaos and confusion comes in, certainty makes it move aside. And when I sold CEO warrior, it’s because Covid came in and I was making people really wealthy but not healthy. And that was not what I wanted. And the other thing is called CEO warrior, which was a best practice in the blue collar space, which means I mean, whose wife, whose wife was signing up, like, I want to go to the warrior event with all testosterone and lots of men.
Not a lot of them, man. And so even though we did have a fair amount of powerful women, we didn’t have enough relationships coming. And I knew that the world was calling us now to go and create where we can get people healthy and wealthy and relationship. I mean, I bumped into somebody that sold. And I was so excited when I bumped into him less than two years later.
And I said to them, man, how’s everything going? I said, great driving a fancy car, new house, wealthy. How’s your wife? F that bitch. I said, what do you mean?
He goes, oh, I divorced her right after I sold. And I went, oh my goodness, that’s not what I wanted. I didn’t want wealthy people and divorced and wealthy people and unhealthy. That totally destroyed what my thinking was. But the infrastructure of what I did didn’t support those three components of life, business and wealth.
And so when I sold that in 2020, which was another world-class exit, I mean, we did over 40 million in sales that year. We were changing the world. But the world needed me to go. And that’s what created FuDog Group, which my wife and my business partner, Aaron, we said, let’s go out there and let’s create the most strategic, tactical organization on the planet where we close the whole loop. We will make people live longer.
We’ll make them feel healthier. They will be more in love in their relationship. We will have them make businesses they love that are movements, and we will create wealth that goes on for generations long after they’re gone. And so I share that not because of what I’m doing, because I wanted everybody listening to pick up. What did I learn along the way?
Movements they created. Right. Anybody that has a hard time hiring and recruiting, I hate to. If there’s a point that you don’t like this podcast, this might be it, because this might sting. It’s just your weak ass leader.
Because if you’re an incredible leader, a byproduct of that, people are magnetized to you. And when you have a movement, they join it. I mean, every company I had, I’ve had a waiting list of people to work for me, not because of me, because of the movement that’s built. So and the last part, I’ll reinforce it again. Please, please, please know what you’re going to do next if you sell a company.
About three years ago, I said to somebody, you sold your company, didn’t you? He said, how do you know? I said, I could see on Facebook you’re depressed, aren’t you? He says, I’ve been depressed since the day I sold it. I said, look, you have to find something so powerful for yourself that it gives you new purpose.
And if you don’t, a poor guy ended up on medication and therapists and doctors and all this stuff. And it was all because he didn’t find what was next for him. So I hope that’s huge value for everybody, because this is the stuff I don’t hear people saying and teaching out there all over social media. They tell you the fantasy land, but they don’t tell you the missing pieces. Yeah.
Dr. Jeremy Weisz: 46:44
Mike, you know, I know I have a question. I’ve seen you talk about the Parthenon. Okay. So I’d love to talk about that because it kind of, I think encapsulates kind of a holistic approach. But if you do want to get, you know, obviously you could tell here Mike is very experienced and you can check out fudoggroup.com/events to actually learn from him and his team.
They have free webinars that you can actually learn from, and a bunch of resources there that you can check out. So that’s the most updated events whenever you’re listening to this. But talk about the Parthenon for a second.
Mike Agugliaro: 47:25
You know, we wanted to build a formula that you might as well call it. You know, not only the secret sauce, it’s the only the secret sauce, because it’s what I’ve learned over all these years in business, which is well over. I mean, I started my first business when I was 16, and then I started my electrical contracting business when I was 22. And I took everything. And I said to myself, if we draw a house, so let’s make this the top of a building, right?
There you go. There’s the top of the building. And freedom is fueled by personal growth. And people are confused by personal growth. They think, oh, personal growth is, you know, it’s this I’m positive and I know a lot of positive assholes, I really do.
They’re very positive. They’re just positively nasty, right? But personal growth is the ability to constantly be evolving to a new level of ascension for yourself. The bottom that builds the foundation is, I believe everybody wants a legacy, and legacy is built on a foundation. And let me let you know why I think and why I focus so much on my legacy is if while you’re driving or you’re listening to this, I want you to think of something.
Do you know your father’s father’s father’s father? And I bet most of you are now shaking your head. Do you know your mother’s mother’s mother’s mother? No.
So you mean in just a couple generations, you’re not even in existence of a thought. And when you build a legacy, it’s something. Now, legacy is not just money. It’s. It’s money.
It’s knowledge. It’s theories. It’s information. It’s models. And if you look, I believe there’s powers that support this.
And the more power you have, the bigger the structure and the strength of the structure here. You know, of course, leadership power. Everybody thinks they know leadership. But leadership is not something, you know, it’s something you constantly expand and the more you expand it, the greater your level of communicating, delivering to people. And every one of these, Jeremy, that we do, every one of these powers, we have trainings that we rotate through which are very transformational, and they give the actual shift and the skill sets and the actions to put in place.
So it’s like the greatest leaders in the world handholding you and going, this is how we do it. If you go to the next one, marketing power, look, I have two, two friends. One says marketing is everything and everything’s marketing. And then I think Brian Kurtz, I think says marketing is the only thing. So I’m going to go with, with his, you know, marketing is nothing more than the emotionally move people from where they’re at to where you want them to go, right?
By design, to serve that person at the highest level. If you look at leadership and marketing, if any of those powers get like the Energizer rabbit. If it runs out of juice and battery, what happens? The damn ceiling starts to close. The foundation crumbles.
You have business power, which most people have not been trained on. You know, everything from operations to sales to marketing to financial excellence. They just don’t know the framework. And so they’re trying to make it. They’re trying to build the plane.
Why? It’s why they’re in the sky falling. It just doesn’t work really well. Sales power is the art of delivering massive value. And I use the word sales for everybody in my organization you couldn’t say sales, you had to say serving.
So for me, sales power is learning the highest level in a way to serve people so that they can allow people to live better, happier, greater comfort, safety, whatever it is life power is. Let’s face it, if you’re not working on longevity and you’re not working right now, I’m beating my age by about a decade and I’m excited about that. Now, I’m not telling you that it’s super easy because I’m caffeine-free for 18 years. I don’t do coffees. I don’t do caffeine teas.
I’m gluten-free for probably 15 or 18 years. I don’t even eat the gluten-free breads. I don’t do sugar right. So I’m not telling you it’s easy, but. And I don’t do dairy, which has been the toughest one for any damn Italian to do.
So I’ll let you know that demons always trying to call me out of the damn refrigerator. But life is about if you lose the power in your life and you feel fatigued and deflated, guess what? How are you going to power up the other energies? Wealth, power? Look, you don’t learn about wealth.
And wealth is not just a mindset. It’s a theory. It’s a set of skills. It’s an understanding. It’s a vibration.
And you don’t learn about it. When you get it, you learn about it to get it. And the last one relationship power. Because at the end of the day, what the hell are you doing all this for? Your closest relationships, your family, your significant other because you want them and you want to feel loved and you want to be able to love.
And most people don’t even understand how to communicate in a relationship. They don’t even understand how to get aligned or create clarity. So we built this Parthenon and we use it in every time we teach. Because this Parthenon, you could run your marketing through it. You could run your leadership through every level of this.
You could run your life through every level of this. You could run wealth and say to yourself, okay, if I’m doing a wealth training, where is leadership stealing my wealth? So I hope that helps. This is an incredible, powerful model that has been pretty much restructuring business owners lives and businesses and relationships. And I hope you’ll take just that little part of it and allow it to enhance your life.
As you looked at it and heard me speak about it.

Mike, first of all, thank you. I always love learning from people who have done it and are doing it, and you are that. And so I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge, your journey, your lessons. I want to point people to Foodbloggerpro.com. They can go on food, you know, fudoggroup.com/ events.
Also, we have to mention the podcast, right? So FuDog podcast. Who are some I don’t know if you want to throw it out there. Any guests that you want on maybe that you haven’t had on that we should throw out there?
Mike Agugliaro: 53:49
Man, I would love there’s some that will already have on. I mean, we’ll end up getting Dan Cashell on there. I would love to. Have you mentioned him in the beginning, Chris Voss. I’m a big fan of his.
I’d love to have him on my podcast someday. And there’s some other friends that I haven’t talked to in a little bit that I’d love to get on a podcast. Dan Martell I know him for a long time. Love to get him on the podcast and guys like, I got to get them all, man. I need to call all my friends Brian Kurtz and I got to get Dean on there.
I got to get them all on there. I have more. The nice thing is my son is doing a bunch of podcasts and he’s an incredible — he actually this is a great story of power. And you’ve helped him a lot by what he’s been learning. The other day we were doing a one of our client sessions, and we only had a couple people and they ran out of questions.
So my son said, oh, okay, well, no problem, I’ll just interview Mike and we’ll make this a podcast. And boom, he jumped in, started interviewing me right there. I told anybody, whoever’s got questions, you got to wait. He asked me incredible questions, which I’m not surprised he’s grown into. He’ll be level 26 on May 29th.
I’ll be level 55. He was born on my birthday four and a half weeks early. Talk about an incredible birthday gift. And man, he has just crafted, crafted such a skill. And also my business partner Aaron, who’s just a master as an MBA.
And he’s great for anybody listening who wants these guys on it. They all have their own flair. And of course I’m going to interview them myself because they’re also brilliant. And you, my friend, need to be interviewed on my podcast.
Dr. Jeremy Weisz: 55:40
Anytime. You know, people can check out food dog TV and you could, there’s a podcast page there. Check it out. And Mike, you know, thanks so much.
Mike Agugliaro: 55:50
