Curious With Calvin Wayman

How do you know what opportunity to take?   How do you determine if something is ultimately going to be a distraction?   That’s what I answer in today’s Fan Question Friday (I also share a bizarre experience I just barely had here in Venice)   Pop on in! :)   #StayCurious

It’s never been a better time to live life as an entrepreneur.   We have all the tools, resources, and trainings right at our fingertips.   But what “qualifications” do we tell ourselves that we need before actually going after it?   What keeps us from moving forward?   Whatever the “reason” is that we give ourselves, I hope that this episode at the very least shows that when it comes to entrepreneurship and building a business, “age” is just a number.   On today’s show I bring on Josh Felber’s rockstar kids Mia, Cash, and Roman.   They are running and testing out businesses.   They are figuring out branding and design.   And they are selling things like fidget spinners online using “Uncle Russell Brunson’s” clickfunnels.   It’s totally rad!! Oh, and one little thing. Mia is 10 years old, and the twins Roman and Cash are 8.   Yup.   This young hustlers are proving that if you’re curious and have drive, you can build a business at any age.   It’s a fun conversation. I hope you enjoy the show! :)   #StayCurious

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode my be a sensitive spot for some people in religious circles, just FYI.   But I have a super fun and open conversation with one of my favorite besties in biz, Laura Petersen.   We mix in things around religion, how Laura grew up as a good girl even though she has no tie to religion at all, and what it’s been like developing a nomadic entrepreneurial life.   Join the show! :)   #StayCurious  

Life is a roller coaster.   Sometimes you feel up and on top of the world! Everything is bright and beautiful!   Then the next day, you’re in the basement of hell—confident that you will never see the light of day again.   This “up and down” is especially present when going through major chances, or going after your dreams.   It can be nauseating.   But what if you could steady it?   What if it didn’t always have to be such a drastic up and down?   In today’s Fan Question Friday, I share a simple technique I’ve been practicing to stay emotionally steady through turbulent times. I hope you enjoy :)   #StayCurious  

This is a fun episode.   Someone who’s had a major impact on my entrepreneur journey is a dude by the name of Gary Vaynerchuk.   Chances are you’ve heard of him ;)   One of his most well-received episodes of the #AskGaryVee show was with a 22-year old named Taylor Clark.   Today, I bring her on the show :)   We talk about what she’s learned since talking and meeting Gary, and also what’s she’s learned in jumping all the way in to personal development.   It’s a fun conversation. You’re invited. Join us :D   #StayCurious  

We all have armor we wear.   Some of us have many skeletons in the closet.   Ryan Niddel, on the other hand, is all about “putting it all out there.”   Whether it’s talking about how he cheated on his girl,   Or how he was self-conscious,   Or how he’s been an asshole,   He shares and talks about things that many would say “shouldn’t” be shared.   Interestingly, though, people are responding in a big way.   In a world where it’s easy to put a filter on things and hide behind a keyboard or social media profile, Ryan is a dude that provides a refreshing amount of true realness.   When we connected at an event, I knew I needed to have him on the podcast.   We have a super awesome conversation.   It’s open. It’s real. It’s raw. Just how I like them. Enjoy the show!   #StayCurious!  

“What are your favorite books on money?”   I share 6 of them in today’s show! Have you read any of them? Comment below!   #StayCurious

Human beings are NOT one-sided.   Entrepreneurs aren’t just business people; they also deal with spiritual questions.   Religious leaders aren’t just spiritual teachers; they also have struggles in their family, or other areas of life.   In short, we’re all have many different aspects to our lives. We are multi-dimensional.   It becomes super important then to give yourself the space to explore those different parts of yourself—to become self aware.   That’s what my friend Paul Ramondo and I talk about on today’s show.   Even though we’re both in the digital marketing space, it’s not just business, but filled with conversation of empathy, struggle, and life lessons.   This right here is why I love podcasting.   It’s a true human conversation between two “entrepreneurs,” that goes a little bit deeper than that. Enjoy the show :)   #StayCurious  

Business can be beautiful and messy all at the same time.     It’s a way to make your mark on the world. But to do that, it takes a lot of “figuring it out.”   It’s a way to design the life you want. But to do that, it requires lots of time and effort.   It filled with products and services, and has its own way of delivering those things.   To make it more “beauty” and less “messy”, it’s understanding this core essential true—business is a ‘system.’   At least, it should be—and that’s what Brad Martineau talk about on today’s episode.   We deep dive into how a business should operate, and what core elements need to be in place (and what they need to be aligned with) to make it work for everyone involved.   This is one of those “holy cow I want to listen to this a second time” kind of episodes. If you have a business or hope to one day in the future, this episode will forever change the way you think of your business.   Enjoy the conversation :)   #StayCurious

“What cities will you be hitting over the next couple of months?”   That’s what I answer in today’s episode of Fan Question Friday.   There are 8 cities in total. Are you in any of them? :)   #StayCurious

What does money mean to you?   For some, they don’t ever think about it.   For others, it’s the things they can buy.   And yet for others, it’s a way to make a difference in this world. Making an impact. Leaving a legacy. Profiting for a purpose.   That’s what today’s conversation is all about, with none other than Cole Hatter.   Cole Hatter is the founder behind an event that changed my life forever—Thrive: Make Money Matter.   It forever changed my relationship to money, but also exposed me to how people at the highest level think about money and the value they bring to the world.   Since starting the podcast, Cole was someone near the top of my list I looked forward to being on the show. Today’s going to be an awesome conversation, so I hope you’ll join us.   Let’s dive in and talk about making money matter, with Cole Hatter.   #StayCurious

Access. Influence. And bacon.   That’s just a “taste” of what today’s episode is all about. It’s full of “bacon-wrapped wisdom!” (Insider info you’ll get from the episode, or if you know Brand Costanzo)   Getting to have amazing conversations like this one is why it’s epic to have a podcast.   In today’s show, Brad and I talk about a variety of principles, tips and tools that a growing entrepreneur can use. It’s a sizzling good show. Enjoy!   #StayCurious  

How can you gain more self-confidence?   How can you manifest more of your dreams and make them more real?   How can you influence more people?   I talk about all three of these things on today’s “Fan Question Friday” episode.   The best part? The answer is super simple. Enjoy the show!   #StayCurious

It’s super cool when I can take a step back and reflect on the richness of life over the past 3 year—especially when it comes to how I’ve evolved as a human being.   What many people don’t know, though, is someone who’s had a MAJOR part in my evolution.   It’s this guy, Ryan Walsh.   Much of the habits I’ve developed (whether it’s how I goal-set, or the habits I used to write my first book) was sparked with Ryan. (I even make the connection in this episode that he’s the one who sparked my speaking career!)   At any rate, not only has he had a major impact on what I do, we always have super interesting conversations every time we get together.   This time I recorded one of our convos, and it’s a good one.   If you’re someone who has ever approached burn out, or you’re curious about better ways to approach life, you’ll enjoy this episode.   See you on the show :)   #StayCurious  

Here’s something I know more than anything…you are the only YOU there is.   Yes, we all have parts of different people.   Yes, our environment shapes us.   But at the end of the day, each of us is unlike any other.   With that said, it might be a good idea to discover who you actually are.   What makes you, you?   On today’s episode, this is a major theme that Tyler Harris and I talk about—self-awareness.   There is no one path to success.   There is no one way to live life.   But there IS only one you, and a best way for YOU to live YOUR life.   I hope this episode gives you some guidance in your journey to finding self-awareness.   #StayCurious

Negativity.   It gets the best of us.   Truth be told, in our connected world, it’s all around us.   But…   The worst part isn’t when “negative Nancy” is our roommate, our mom, or the media.   The worst part is when that voice is in our own head.   We can often be our own worst critic.   And the really, really, really shitty thing is when that voice becomes so loud, and it puts us in a mental rut we can’t seem to get out of.   Here’s the great news: there’s a way to break in.   In today’s show, I share a technique I use to break the negative thought cycle, and get back on track.   I hope it can help you as well. Enjoy!! :D   #StayCurious

Something I’ve been curious about for quite some time but still very much a virgin in the topic is…REAL ESTATE.   I decided to bring on my favorite red-headed friend onto the show…Bob McIntosh.   (Btw, did you know even with a name like that his preference is still Windows and not Mac??)   Aside from several things that make Bob interesting, one thing is he is a beast when it comes to the real estate space.   He and I talk in easy terms what the landscape is like, and what a novice like myself can do to get started.   If you’ve ever been curious about Real Estate, this is a show to get the conversation started. Enjoy   #StayCurious  

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again—it’s INSANE in such a good way what our bodies are capable of.   What’s undeniable as well is how our bodies and minds are interconnected.   When you do something to push your body, you’re not just pushing your body. You’re pushing your mind as well.   That’s what we’re talking about today. I bring on my friend who knows a thing or two in this area—world champion Jessica Crate.   Today’s episode is full of goodness with one major focus in mind—cultivating the champion mindset.   Enjoy! #StayCurious  

I’m up in Park City, UT.   I just barely finished what I call a “recalibration weekend”—a time where I disconnect from absolutely everything and reconnect to myself.   In this episode, right before checking out of my room, I share some of the deep insights that have come from this weekend.   I hope you enjoy.   #StayCurious

People are pretty badass. We are capable of way more than we give ourselves credit for. Whether it’s building a business, Breaking a world record,Doing something to get out of our comfort zone Or designing the life of your dreams,Chances are if you can conceive of it, can believe in it, you can achieve it.Sometimes it just takes someone to come by every once in a while to remind us what we’re actually capable of.That’s what Whitney Powell does on today’s show.She’s known as “Iron Will Whit.”Some people called me crazy for going from running a half marathon (13 miles) to a 50 miler. Whitney, went from from a marathon, straight through to 100! Yes, 100 miles. And besides stretching her comfort zone, she’s designing the life she wants doing what she loves.She’s an amazing inspiration and a great reminder that we are more capable than we think we are. Enjoy the show :)#StayCurious
