It's been a while, but I'm back on the podcast to share an amazing interview with my longtime friend, Joe Polish. Joe is recognized as the most connected person on the planet, and today you're going to find out why! In case you're unfamiliar, Joe Polish is an author, speaker, podcaster, entrepreneur, and Founder of Genius Network®, which is considered one of the most exclusive entrepreneurial masterminds in the world. While Joe has seen wild success throughout his career and is known for his ability to connect deeply with others, that wasn't always his story. In fact, before he ever crushed it in business, he was a dead broke carpet cleaner, and his struggles with trauma and addiction led to a very disconnected life. Only after getting sober did he take the time to learn how to form genuine relationships with others. For 30+ years, Joe has been putting his approach to building rapport into practice, allowing him to surround himself with the most successful people imaginable—and now he's ready to teach YOU how to do the same. In our conversation, we dive into his new book, What's in It for Them?: 9 Genius Networking Principles to Get What You Want by Helping Others Get What They Want. You'll learn about the power of reciprocity, the importance of treating yourself like a million-dollar racehorse, how to cut out toxic relationships, why being a giver (instead of a taker) is more important than ever, and much more!

Jamie is the co-founder of IT Cosmetics and the first female chief executive in L'Oréal’s history.

Today specifically, I want to go over The Security Basket — which is all about protecting you and your family against the unexpected (such as a medical emergency, the death of a loved one, or the loss of a job.) In this episode, you’re going to be reminded why the security basket is so critical. I’m going to help you commit to getting financially organized and teach you the 4 things you must do to protect you and your family.

Most people fail to pursue their dreams because they don’t know how to plan for them. Maybe you want to buy a car, take a vacation, re-decorate your home or start a business. Whatever it may be, you’re going to need to fund your dreams, and the best way to do that is by opening a separate investment account for that specific reason. Ever since I was a financial advisor, I’d ask my clients what dreams they had. Many people would say “I want a new kitchen.” So, we’d open the kitchen account and start funding the dream. Guess what? Most clients would stop asking about their “investments” and would only ask about that “kitchen account” or whatever dream account they were funding. Nothing gives energy to a person’s life about their future, like a dream account. It’s the fastest way to make your dream a reality. Your future becomes exciting, your dreams suddenly feel real, and you’re chasing something that’s meaningful to you. If you want to find out exactly how to set up your dream account, which services to use, and how to balance your fundings, then this episode is for you!

What’s the most difficult thing you’ve gone through, and what did you learn from it? When I was 15 years old, I was hit by a car head on while driving a moped, which sent me flying about 75 feet through the air. The car had smashed directly into my left ankle. And if it weren't for my surgeon, it probably would have been amputated. While lying in a hospital bed post-surgery, another doctor came to look at my situation. He told me, “You’re never going to ski again, you’re never going to run again, and you’re probably never going to walk again without a limp.” I was absolutely devastated. Until my nurse said something to me that changed my life forever... She said “Let me tell you something. That doctor doesn’t know who you are and he doesn’t know what you’re capable of.” She gave me hope! She made me believe that I could make a comeback; that not only would I walk without a limp, but I would even be able to ski again — but it wouldn’t be easy. I spent months in the hospital, participated in daily physiotherapy, and underwent 6 surgeries over the course of a year. And guess what? I got through it. And I’m happy to report that I can ski, I can run, and I can walk without a limp. The moral of the story is that you’re stronger than you realize, and you are braver than you think. Nobody knows what you can do and you have to believe that YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS! So, what challenge are you currently facing? Whatever you’re going through, today’s episode is going to inspire you to think differently and give you the motivation to overcome anything life throws your way!

And having spent the past 16 months living here, my family and I have completely fallen in love with it — which is why I’m so excited about today’s episode of the podcast.
