Podcast: EP 68 Going All In with Michael McHenry

What would happen if you went all in?

 

I made a new friend in the last year who has such a powerful energy and makes whoever he’s with feel so good, I have become a fan. I love his restaurants and I love his value of going all in on what he’s focused on.

From selling his first self-built business at the age of 19, Michael has made one thing clear – “a good business only scales or sells.” Over the past decade, this 39-year-old industry disruptor has built a world-class team and honed skills in all aspects of experiential brand and concept creation, culture building and high-performance operations from start-up to multi-million-dollar enterprises. Michael’s dedication to “Championing others to their Fullest Potential” is evident having created more than 2500 jobs, 7 viable brands and opening more than 65 restaurants, Michael has a gift for influencing others and creating one of a kind brands. National award-winning concepts under TMG’S crest have changed the course of the restaurant industry.

This conversation is a powerful insight into what happens when you go all in on your business, your relationships, and your life.

“I found myself making the most money I’d ever made in my life, being the most alone.”

Podcast: 43 Fate Favors the Bold with Richard Paul Evans

Podcast: 43 Fate Favors the Bold with Richard Paul Evans

This is a story worth hearing.

 

You’ve likely heard of Richard’s bestselling book, The Christmas Box. But the story behind how it came to be, how Richard became the incredibly successful author that he is, and how he has followed his purpose is incredible.

When Richard Paul Evans wrote the #1 global best-seller, The Christmas Box, he never intended on becoming an internationally known author. Three years later, this quiet, simple story of parental love and the true meaning of Christmas made history when it became simultaneously the #1 hardcover and paperback book in the nation.

Since then, more than 8 million copies of The Christmas Box have been printed. Seven of Evans’s books were produced into television movies and have starred such well-known actors as Maureen O’Hara, Rob Lowe, Christopher Lloyd, James Earl Jones, Naomi Watts and Academy award winners Vanessa Redgrave and Ellen Burstyn. He has since written more than 35 consecutive New York Times bestsellers and is one of the few authors in history to have hit both the fiction and non-fiction bestseller lists.  There are currently more than 30 million copies of his books in print.

During the fall of 1998, Evans founded The Christmas Box International, an organization devoted to maintaining emergency shelters and providing services and resources for abused, neglected or homeless children, teens and young adults. To date, more than 85,000 children have been served by the Christmas Box House facilities and programs.

 

 
In this conversation we talk about what is possible when we choose to be the best at what we do, when we take the chance, and when we let ourselves be bold.

 

“If you want to be a bestselling author, there’s an empty seat, go take it.”
