    In this episode, the boys recap the in-person mastermind Mason held for members of his Inner Circle community. They also talk about the social platform that’s showing signs of popping off in 2025 and why young people who want to work in a high-income role with tons of opportunity should dive head first into high ticket sales.

    The conversation kicks off by sharing the first-hand account of Mason’s mastermind event and lessons he learned about hosting kick-ass meetups.

    Then, the guys talk about the next social platform with high organic reach and tons of growth potential.

    Finally, they share their frustrations with lazy or unprofessional salespeople and why that low bar of quality is a huge opportunity for young hustlers looking to make great money.

    Tune in if you want to learn how to organize an amazing in-person event, where you should be directing your personal branding efforts in 2025, or why taking your job seriously is (sadly) a competitive advantage these days.

    “The people who take stuff seriously, the people who just try harder than everybody else, they’re the ones that win. The people that don’t make six figures are the ones that just aren’t trying, and they’re the ones that complain the loudest.”

    – Cardinal Mason


    WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT:

    • Mastermind Events & Dual City Living – Learn why Mason is going to start splitting his time between two cities, and how he’s using in-person activities to strengthen his network in both spots.

    • The Next Great Audience Growth Opportunity – Hear which platform has the best momentum for Chase right now, to the point where it might just be the next audience growth service he adds to his offerings.

    • Frustrations With Sales & Customer Support Specialists – The bar is so, so low when it comes to sales and customer support, which creates an opening for young, ambitious hustlers to come in and make a killing by standing out.

    • The Value Of Taking Your Job Seriously – So many people approach their job with a certain level of laziness or complacency. If you show up every day with professionalism and intentionality, you’re going to kill it.

  • The Millionaire Money Mindset (5 Financial Lessons We've Learned)
    Nov 1 2024

    Send us a text

    This episode is all how to cultivate a "Millionaire Money Mindset." Wealthy people look at money differently, and you'll need to change how you view and manage your own finances if you want to join them.

    Things kick off with an update from Chase, who just closed a huge deal for his new media company that helped them smash their entire Q4 goal within the first month. Then, the boys share five lessons they've learned on their path to consistently having seven figure years.

    Tune in if you want to learn how to "think like a millionaire" and start using money as a point of leverage instead of treating it like a scarce resource that needs to be hoarded.


    “They say money can't buy happiness, and that's true, but money really does solve most problems to a degree. If you think about all the problems you have in your life, there is almost certainly a way to pay someone to solve it."

    – Mason


    WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT:

    • Lifestyle Inflation Is A Good Thing – Lifestyle inflation isn't always bad. If you use your wealth to make your life more comfortable, or to invest in unique and memorable experiences, that's a great investment.

    • Momentum In Business And Life – We need to accept that life and business are both roller coaster rides – they always involve ups and downs. When you're having a good month, it can be easy to coast, but that's when you need to keep pushing, because it's really hard to get momentum going from a full stop and there's always a down cycle coming right around the corner.

    • Build Your Mental Resilience – Taking the occasional L is part of being a business owner. You can't let it keep you down, though. Use it as fuel to get creative and seek out opportunities to turn a short-term loss into an even bigger long-term win.

    • Why Settling Is Selfish – A lot of people think it's selfish to try to get right, but the real selfish play is to stop when you have "enough." It's great to take care of your personal needs, but putting a ceiling on your income means you can't invest in the communities and causes who need your support the most.

    • Build Your Team Of Experts – If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. The sooner you realize it's better to spend the money to pay a subject matter expert instead of managing everything yourself, the sooner you'll unlock your business' true earning potential.



    KEY MOMENTS IN THIS EPISODE:

    It all kicks off with a discussion about how to get in tight with celebrities and A-list influencers in your space, without coming off as sleazy or creepy.

    Have you ever met a celebrity or big influencer? Share your most impressive name drop in the comments!

    – Chase Dimond

    • The Importance of Consistency For Audience Growth – Finally, the boys emphasize patience and consistency when it comes to building your audience.

    They start by doing some “funnel hacking” to reverse engineer the customer acquisition model that helped Publishing.com go from $2M to $100M almost overnight. This ties into Alex Hormozis value equation, which they use to self-assess their own offers.

    • How To Be A Premium Brand – The fellas discuss the importance of presenting a premium image while creating content for your brand. They emphasize the benefits of having high-quality production, not just amazing content.

  • Traits of 1% Founders, Our Best “Money Well Spent,” and Buying Clout
    Aug 2 2024

    Send us a text

    In this episode, Chase and Mason discuss what makes the difference between “big” businesses and “HUGE” businesses, and lay out some of the common traits they’ve observed among the top 1% of founders.

    They also tell stories of their best “money well spent” scenarios, where the value they got from the product or experience was exponentially more than what they invested. Spoiler Alert: The examples they share aren’t the ones you’d expect.

    The conversation wraps up with a quick business update from Mason, who finally decided to take ads seriously and is now on track to have his first $1M month.

    Tune in to get a sneak peek at Mason’s new penthouse pad (it’s absolutely baller) and drop a comment with your own best “money well spent” story.


    "I think number one is just like the entrepreneur is hungry and they're hungry not for a base hit, or even a double – they're hungry for a home run or a grand slam. And they’re going to keep swinging until they get it."

    – Chase Dimond


    WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT:

    • Factors for Big Business Success – Learn what separates big businesses from HUGE businesses, and what common traits, tendencies, or behaviors make these ambitious founders uniquely capable of building such behemoths.

    • Best “Money Well Spent” Scenarios – Hear examples from the boys about things they’ve paid for that have returned 10x more than they spent. These aren’t your common investment examples, but lesser-known products, services, and experiences that are worth every penny – and then some!

    • Buying Clout – If you have more money than you know what to do with, you’re probably going to default to acquiring material possessions. That’s all well and good, but the boys are here to tell you why investing in relationships, not objects, is a better use of that money.

    • Paid Ads Success – Learn how Mason started experimenting with paid acquisition and is already seeing a significant ROI, which has him on track to have his first seven figure month by the end of the year.

    • Audience Monetization Mastery – Many creators have huge audiences, but it doesn’t translate into significant revenue for their business. Hear the fellas discuss why they think Mason is so much better at monetizing that attention, and take notes on which aspects you can apply to your own content.

    • 00:00:00 – Introduction
