You are told by every other "influencer" or "social media guru" out there that you need to pick your niche. Stick to one thing. Don't talk about anything else. Well, that's BS.

This was a crazy week. Made it out to LA, filmed a ton, met up with Mr. Good Burger himself, and Katy came out this time too. Let me know what you think of this series! I'm having a ton of fun with it. Check out more here: sam.video

Ep. 147 | Welcome to Good Burger...and LA Chaos

Wow. What a week. To recap, Katy and I packed out old apartment and moved into a new apartment in less than 24 hours, the Bucks won 4 straight to become NBA Champs and we went to Game 6 in Milwaukee, and I went to Boston for a shoot. Lots of content and very little sleep. Hope you enjoy!  Check out the full video here: sam.video

Ep. 146 | New apartment, Bucks are the Champs, and Boston trip

I had this idea the other day to make a documentary about my life and release it in 10 years while I truly document my life in the process. I've always struggled attaching myself to something bigger when it comes to creating content but this is a chance for me to do exactly that. I'll be recording segments of this podcast at different times throughout the week and putting it together in 1 weekly episode that will be podcast-vlog style. Full videos on YouTube as well! Hope you enjoy and thanks for following along! CHECK OUT SAM.VIDEO

Ep. 145 | This is the start of a 10 year documentary

Ep. 142 | What Gen Z thinks is Overrated and Underrated with Jake Bjorseth

Would you rather have a stock of Amazon ($3000+) or a DSLR Camera ($900)? In late 2018, I was thinking of either buying Amazon stock for around $1000/share or a new camera. Obviously, a camera is a depreciating asset. Amazon? Not so much. But the decision was deeper than a stock vs a camera. It was betting on myself vs anyone else. If I was willing to invest $1000 into Amazon, Tesla, Apple, or any other stock, and not myself, what was that saying about the belief I had in me? I started to switch my mindset and invested every dollar from that day forward into myself and my company before investing in anyone else. As a result instead of turning $1000 to $3000, that $900 investment helped me generate 6-figures worth of new business from a simple camera. So now, is that camera still a depreciating asset? Or a gold mind?? Bet on yourself first. If you don't, who else will? Hope you enjoy the episode!  Let's talk?? linktr.ee/samxlister

Ep. 141 | Why betting on YOURSELF first will change your life

High end public speakers get paid $100k+/hour for their time. Why? Because people actually learn something from them. That compared to the education system where teachers read out of a textbook and teach from a powerpoint made 10 years ago making $40k/year. See the difference? "I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers" - John D. Rockefeller 1903 The education system is old, slow, and broken. This was a quote by John D. Rockefeller, the man who funded a lot of today's education system. No wonder why those thinkers are the ones that get paid now. The ones that actually teach and push against traditional ways of society.  Hope you enjoy!
