The Big Leap

Have you ever thought to yourself, “Man, all of these super successful entrepreneur, millionaires have it so easy. They must have made all the right choices to get where they are.” That is a MAJOR misconception. We don’t know one successful millionaire or billionaire who doesn’t have a crazy story about “getting there.” Mike and Gay are successful entrepreneurs. Between the two of them they have about 80 years of experience and have both made over 100 millions dollars combined, and helped...

What is it about us that makes us want to believe things that aren't true? Today we’re diving deep into this absolutely fascinating subject about the human psyche and why we’re constantly looking for the...

Mike's friend Brian Tracy once said, “Your life is changed by the books you read and the people you meet.” What do you think about that? The movies you choose and the books you've read, also say a lot about WHO YOU ARE.

So what are the movies and books that have completely changed YOUR life? Gay and Mike share the big books and...

Mike Koenigs hates “How Pies” (if you’re from Minnesota like him, you’ll get this joke right away). If you grew up in the country like him, cow pies aren’t fun to step in. Especially the warm ones. “How Pies” are the stinky things you step in every time you ask yourself “how do I do this” and when you get frustrated and procrastinate, you do nothing at all. What if you could solve ANY problem you’ve ever had by asking a NEW question? Not “How do I do this?” But “Who can do this FOR me?” And...

What kind of donkeys are you smuggling? Confused?? 🤣 Mike was too when Gay asked him the same question. To explain… Back in the middle ages, there was a donkey caravan that would come to the same border crossing every week. The border inspector would go through the caravan each time looking for contraband but he could never find anything. Week after week, for 30 years, the same man with the same donkey caravan and the inspector could never find anything. When it came time for the inspector...

Consciousness is your awareness of yourself and the world around you.” (Your awareness is subjective and unique to you. If you can describe something you are experiencing in words, then it is part of your consciousness.) What if you could harness your consciousness to be your best-self and live the life you’ve always...
