Arne Giske has a "shit-fan map".  It outlines what to do when shit hits the fan. I mean... What a great idea. And I loooove the name. Because we ALL know, sooner or later, shit is gonna hit the fan 💩 It's inevitable. Either in your business, at work, or in your personal life. Arne Giske built his "Millennial Entrepreneur Community" Facebook group to over 80,000 engaged, meme-loving members. That gave him a huge, super keen audience where he could launch his products, courses and other businesses. Because there's no point if you have the best product or service in the world -- but no audience. And after his rapid success building a mega Facebook group, he started teaching other people how to do the same.Arne launched a Facebook Group course and in less than a year - made over $250k.Pretty cool, right?It's even more epic because it's a software business (i.e. super low overheads).And...It can be run from anywhere in the world (oh how I love you, online business).Now - this podcast episode is not about getting rich quick.There's no such thing.Building wealth takes time, effort, and more stamina than that guy Sisyphus who rolled a big, beautiful boulder up a hill for eternity.Arne is passionate about being in the ring when it comes to business.Because you never know when those big ideas are going to flow.It all comes down to solving problems.The bigger the problem = the more money you can make.And the ideas will come along the way.Arne's first business was running a pedi-cab in Seattle (those groovy three-wheeled tricycles that carry passengers around the city).He was 19 years old, made $20 per trip and loved having the cash.Despite going to business school, most of what Arne's learned about business came from first-hand experience.Arne's Facebook group product started at just $37, then over time he raised the price as he created more content, videos, and value.As Arne raised his prices over time, his confidence and excitement skyrocketed. He created new businesses, invested in new opportunities, and built a solid network of income streams.Now?He's focused on The Insider Investors Club, building his various businesses, and travelling the world.And he's helping others do the same.So check it out, and learn how to stop SHWant to get into your body and silence your overactive mind?

This is the most explicit, controversial, honest, and hilarious podcast episode we’ve done so far.  Sorry mum. If you’re easily offended, watch out... My brother John and I went deep into why there is so much stigma and shame around sex. Religion, organisations, your social group (and even the SMR podcast) – all influence the way you think and feel about sex. We all have an uptight friend called Karen who is in need of some serious vibrator-time.Or Alex who needs to go and get that freaking prostate massager already.The solution to world peace = more orgasms (in my VERY humble opinion 😇).Yep, I said it.People are far-too-often shamed for enjoying a certain sexual fantasy or fetish. Maybe your parents shamed you when they caught you masturbating as a teenager.Maybe you’ve been shamed by your partner for wanting to switch roles and be the dominant.Or maybe you’ve been shamed by your vanilla friends for trying anal sex (and loving it way more than you thought you would).Sexual shame is so common.So what’s the antidote?Talking about sex.Because as we talk about it, the stigma and shame around sex dissolves.Growing up in church, there was so much sexual shame.I was taught not to have sex before marriage.I was told what types of sex I was allowed to have.Thankfully, I rebelled against it all.It didn’t make sense.Why was someone else allowed to dictate what I did with my body?Why was this natural physical urge that I had – wrong?If you think there’s something wrong with you for wanting sex, then you’ll search for something to “fix you”.But humans are made to have sex.It’s in your DNA. It’s in your blood.And as long as the sex is safe, sane and consensual, then go crazy.Experiment with an inflatable butt plug (as long as Amazon isn’t sold out), play with your spiky alien dildo, or visit that BDSM dungeon you’ve been eyeing for weeks now.The sexual world is your delicious, tantalising, leather-wearing oyster.We also talked about John's recent experience doing an ayahuasca dieta. Plant medicine and psychedelics offer incredible insight into feeling your pain, and releasing it from your body and mind. But -- it's not for the faint of heart. It's important to have solid tools to help you navigate the world of ayahuasca. LWant to get into your body and silence your overactive mind?
