  Aug 18, 202631 min

  Bosnian-born MMA fighter Erko Jun reveals how he rebuilt his life from nothing not once but twice, why discipline — not motivation — is the only thing that actually changes your life, and why the single most important rule he lives by is to stop listening to other people.Erko Jun is a professional MMA fighter, former competitive bodybuilder, and one of the most-followed fitness personalities in Europe. Born in Bosnia in 1990, he fled the war with his family as a two-year-old, spending a year in a German refugee camp before settling in Belgium with little more than a bag of clothes. After a turbulent youth, he found bodybuilding — becoming a three-time junior champion and international fitness cover model — before making the rare leap into professional MMA at 28 with no real experience. He has since built a professional record of 9 wins and 4 losses, with every single victory coming by knockout.He explains:- Why he had to start his life from zero twice — and how he survived both times- Why discipline, not motivation, is the real key to changing your life- The brutal questions you must ask yourself before trying to turn your life around- Why you should always have a plan B — even when everyone tells you not to- How to spot the people quietly draining your energy — and the ones truly worth keeping- Why chasing money first is a mistake, and what to invest in instead- The number one rule that took him from getting kicked out of five schools to world championFollow Erko:Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/erkojun/Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/ErkoJunOfficial/Website – https://erkojun.com

  Aug 8, 202643 min

  Serial entrepreneur Jonny Dodge reveals how he went from a small English town to selling superyachts and private jets to billionaires, why the fastest way into any room is to add value instead of asking for it, and why you should get excited every single time someone tells you no. Jonny Dodge is a British entrepreneur who has built a portfolio of luxury businesses serving the ultra-wealthy — founder of superyacht brokerage My Ocean, private-jet charter firm YourSky, and Formula 1 hospitality company GP Management. Forbes dubbed him "The Superyacht Influencer." Raised in a yachting family on England's south coast, where his father fitted out superyachts and private jets for royalty, Jonny trained as a product designer before making his name staging events like the Dodgeball supercar rally and the charity Grand Prix Ball, then moving into broking yachts and jets for the ultra-wealthy. An adventurer who has travelled to the centre of Antarctica and survived being shipwrecked on a desert island, he now splits his time between Dubai, Monaco and London. He explains: Why the single most important question in any room is "what can I add?", not "what can I get?" How one phone call to Bernie Ecclestone at 25 changed the entire course of his life The "499 no's" cheat code he uses to guarantee a yes, and why you should get excited about rejection Why you should build around the client first, never the idea How to kill imposter syndrome by talking about your future instead of your past.

  Millionaire: If You Do This, You'll Never Be Rich!

  Jul 4, 202634 min

  What if there's something that's stopping you from ever becoming rich? Entrepreneur Steven Harvalias, founder of Super Fitness , believes most people never build wealth, not because they lack intelligence, but because they make the same costly mistakes over and over again. Starting with just $10,000 , $55,000 in credit card debt , and working multiple jobs while sleeping only a few hours a night, Steven built one of the world's largest gym equipment companies, with nearly 200,000 square feet of inventory. But according to him, money was never the goal. The goal was freedom. In this conversation, Steven shares the principles that helped him go from struggling to pay his electricity bill to building a multi-million dollar business, without ever having a Plan B. He explains: - Why having a backup plan might be the very thing preventing your success - The biggest financial mistakes that keep people from ever becoming wealthy - Why most people are chasing the wrong version of freedom - How self-belief is built, and why it's impossible to succeed without it - Why passion and obsession matter more than talent and much more! Whether you're building your first business, trying to grow an existing one, or simply looking for a different perspective on success, this episode is packed with lessons earned through two decades of relentless work, setbacks, and persistence.

  I Asked an Influencer How To Get Rich From Social Media

  Jun 27, 202618 min

  I asked influencer Aris Yeager how to get rich from social media. He reveals why most creators never make money, why posting more beats making the perfect video, why the first three seconds decide whether your content succeeds or fails, and why small creators will soon become more valuable than the biggest influencers online. Aris Yeager, better known as The European Kid , is a content creator and entrepreneur who has built an audience of millions through his satirical "rich European" character. His videos have generated over 3 billion views , leading to partnerships with some of the world's biggest brands and allowing him to charge as much as $50,000 for a single sponsored post . Growing up in Belgium, Aris turned his experiences around wealthy private-school students into one of social media's most recognizable comedy characters. Rather than relying on expensive production, he built his brand by creating highly shareable videos designed to spark conversation and debate. Today, the majority of his income comes from brand partnerships, where he believes distribution and audience quality matter far more than follower count. His philosophy is simple: build a loyal community first, and the money follows. He explains: Why posting consistently beats spending hours making the "perfect" video Why finding a niche is the fastest way to grow from zero The simple formula he uses to create videos people can't help but comment on Why the first three seconds of every video determine whether it goes viral The biggest editing mistakes almost every new creator makes How he landed his first sponsorship and earned his first $3,000 from social media Why most creators dramatically undervalue their content when negotiating brand deals How charging $50,000 for a single post is less about followers and more about attracting the right audience Why micro-creators with loyal communities are becoming more valuable than influencers with millions of followers The industries he believes offer the biggest opportunity for creators over the next decade Follow Aris: Instagram – ⁠https://instagram.com/theeuropeankid⁠ TikTok – ⁠https://tiktok.com/@theeuropeankid⁠ YouTube – ⁠https://youtube.com/@theeuropeankid⁠ Check out his company: https://storytime.io/
