Entrepreneurship is for Everybody with Jeff Lerner
Subscribe To The Podcast
Today on the show we have Jeff Lerner. Jeff is a long-time entrepreneur, musician, and content creator. Today we are going to talk about and explore his philosophy around why entrepreneurship is for everybody.
We are going to co-create a powerful story based on his mid-life crisis that unfolded in a way that might be a little bit different than you might expect. This is an action-packed episode and I am really excited for you to hear the story we create at the end.
We discuss:
- [02:43] He decided he wanted the back half of his life to mean a lot more than the front half of his life.
- [05:28] He didn’t do anything that you are “supposed” to do in this world. He actually did a lot of stuff that isn’t a recipe for success and isn’t going to lead you anywhere productive but at 39 years old he was retired.
- [07:59] The brokenness of the traditional American dream is accelerating and entrepreneurship is the logical response and yet we live in a world where most people don’t think it is available to them.
- [08:55] He shares about his mid-life crisis when he was 39, successful, and retired.
- [12:42] Mid-life crisis is about finances at all. It is about fulfillment and service to others.
- [18:34] The problem in this world is not extremism. The problem in this world is the lack of extremism and branding discipline as extremism.
- [21:56] We live in a world where virtually anyone can but everyone won’t. You can choose to live a life of excellence.
- [23:45] We live in this world where people have convinced themselves that so much is impossible simply on the basis of what is perceived as probable.
- [24:44] Most people have most elements of their lives left to chance. The more you can convert every single variable in your life from a chance to a choice the more control over outcomes you have.
- [30:17] It’s possible to want for nothing in this world if you are able to make a big enough impact on others.
- [31:01] Kyle shares the story he created for Jeff.
- [37:24] It is possible to say no to so much more than people think they can.
