• EP624: Peter Roberts - Built By Freedom, The Origin USA Story
    Nov 12 2024

    “Blue jeans and boots built America, and if we’re going to build it again, this renaissance, it has to start with jeans and boots.”

    Today we welcome Pete Roberts, a pioneer in American manufacturing and the visionary behind Origin USA and Jocko Fuel. Known for reviving manufacturing on American soil, Pete shares his personal journey from small-town Maine to building a brand synonymous with grit, resilience, and purpose. Pete is driving an American-Made Renaissance. He shares his mission to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., emphasizing the importance of American-made products and the generational craftsmanship that built America’s industrial heartland. From rescuing a denim factory in North Carolina to rebuilding the supply chain from “dirt to shirt,” Pete’s goal is simple yet profound: make quality products, built entirely in the USA.

    After a defining moment in Abu Dhabi, Pete doubled down on creating Origin, a company committed to manufacturing high-quality jiu-jitsu gis, jeans, and boots on U.S. soil. The journey wasn’t easy, but Pete’s “crime of passion” became the foundation of Origin USA, where every product is crafted to last a lifetime.

    “Built by Freedom” is more than just a tagline for Pete Roberts—it’s a mission. Pete is reshaping American manufacturing, one pair of jeans at a time, while challenging us all to rethink how and where we make our purchases. This episode is for those who believe in supporting products with purpose, and for anyone who wants to understand what it takes to build a legacy from the ground up.

    Pete’s Expert Action Steps for Purpose-Driven Success:

    1. Long-Term Vision

    “Anything great in life takes 10 years.” Committing to a decade to build something meaningful is essential for creating lasting impact.

    2. Purpose Over Ideas

    Purpose is the gravitational force that drives ideas. When grounded in purpose, your work will outlast fleeting trends and establish a legacy rooted in genuine impact.

    3. Mind Share and Soul Share Over Market Share

    Forget chasing market share. Focus on building genuine relationships with customers who believe in your mission. Capturing mind and soul share leads to loyal customers who value more than just the product.

    Key Product Highlights:

    Origin’s Jeans and Boots: Built by freedom, Origin’s jeans and boots are not just products—they’re symbols of American resilience. These handcrafted items represent Pete’s commitment to making apparel that not only lasts but tells a story of quality and pride.

    Jocko Fuel: Created with his partner Jocko Willink, Jocko Fuel offers premium nutritional products available across major U.S. retailers, supporting customers who value fitness, discipline, and purpose.

  • EP622: Andrew Kap - How To Sell 100,000 Non Fiction Books Without Being Famous!
    Nov 5 2024

    Enter the epiphany moment and play around with the Law of Attraction. You will see that it works whenever you actually do it. Go full throttle—no quitting. Do the gratitude and visualization exercises daily—just five or ten minutes a day—and bam, you will see things shift. The Law of Attraction works, but only if you actually put in the work.

    You should also use the Time Lapse Method, where you list 15 things you're grateful for in the present tense, including past, present, and future blessings. It's like time travel, but for your mind, and it gets your subconscious to think that all those good things are already happening. The secret sauce? Don't do it just for the results—bask in the feeling, enjoy the process, and make it part of your daily routine, like brushing your teeth (but more fun). And if you really want to hit that $10 million goal, you have to get real—visualize all the things that could go wrong, too, so your brain is prepared for success and stress. Most of all, love the process and the results will follow.

    Andrew Kap is the author of “The Last Law of Attraction Book You’ll Ever Need To Read” -- a perennial bestseller giving readers a unique understanding of the topic that no other “LOA” book has ever been able to do — by going the extra mile of addressing WHY people who get excited about trying it out still can’t manage to get in the habit of using the methods for just five minutes a day.

    The book has sold over 150,000 copies, bolstered by thousands of five-stars on Amazon, and a growing YouTube channel devoted to it.

    Expert action steps:

    1. Have a schedule.
    2. Make it fun.
    3. Do it in a way that works for you.
