Do you believe that starting a business with nothing is possible? The American Dream is typically defined as the idea that the opportunity of achieving your highest aspirations is possible for anyone willing to put in the work. Jay Samit, laid out his case and experiment for this very idea in his latest book, Future Proofing You. Glenn Stearns, producer and star of the Discovery show, Undercover Billionaire, put himself to the test with $100, no contacts, no help, and just 90 days to build a million dollar business because he deeply believes the American Dream is still alive and possible. Although the playing field is not equal for everyone in every opportunity, it is still possible. Glenn\u2019s story is shocking and relatable for many because his honesty and vulnerability shows that attitude and belief are still king in how you decide to live your life and make moves.\xa0\n\nSHOW NOTES: \n0:00 | Introduction \n1:22 | Glenn Stearns\u2019 Story \n5:21 | What Is The American Dream? \n6:55 | The Pathway To Make It \n9:36 | How Glenn Created His Path \n11:24 | Be Fearless Asking Questions \n14:53 | Focusing On The Lessons \n17:20 | Surrounded by Smarter People \n20:29 | Cancer Shifts Glenn\u2019s Focus \n22:45 | Starting Undercover Billionaire \n31:15 | Developing Grit \n32:57 | Hardship of Business Lessons \n34:45 | Running Against the Crowd \n38:12 | Opportunities In Adversity \n42:26 | Leading With Vulnerability \n45:35 | Making Quick Business Pivots \n47:36 | How to be Unreasonable\xa0\n\nFollow Glen Stern: \nWebsite: https://www.glennstearns.com/\n\nCheck out our sponsors: \nIndeed: Get a FREE $75 CREDIT to upgrade your job post at indeed.com/IMPACT \nBLUblox: Go to blublox.com/impacttheory for 15% off your order or use discount code ImpactTheory at checkout. \nNorthOne: Get 1 FREE month of banking by going to https://get.northone.com/impact \nHeadspace: Go to headspace.com/impact for a FREE ONE-MONTH TRIAL with access to Headspace\u2019s full library of meditations for every situation. \nInsideTracker: Get 25% off their entire store at insidetracker.com/impacttheory \nItalic: Sign up for an Italic membership at italic.com/join using code IMPACT for 30% off. \n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nIf you\u2019re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.\nWant to transform your health, sharpen your mindset, improve your relationship, or conquer the business world?
