Star Trek Beyond!   Great movie with a weak villain.   Incredible special effects, many classic sounds from the original series (transporter, communication devices, sounds from the bridge).   The rotating camera work by Justin Lin was fun as well.  I felt the main crew each got a lot of love in this film except Uhura, I felt she didn't have many lines.   Neither the villain, which was Idris Elba.   He was physically imposing, acted well, but didn't have much. Justin Lin did a fantastic job with this movie.  I hope he returns to direct the next one. Saw this movie with a few of the boys and here are there final scores. David scored this movie and 8/10.   Myself, Jason, Mike scored this movie a 7.5/10. Here more about our scores in this episode.   Have you seen the movie?   Do you agree/disagree with our review?   Thanks for listening! Find out more about Start Trek here. Based on the this article from Screencrush, here are their top 4 Star Trek films to date. Star Trek

This post does have affiliate links. The number #1 movie in the box office for the last two weekends (from the date this is published).   From the creators of the Despicable Me series (Illumination Entertainment)comes the Secret Life of Pets. This was a very enjoyable film with a lot of heart and beautiful animation.  There were some story beats and that weren't fully developed and were convenient at time but an overall fun movie. My overall score is 7/10.   On this episode I have a special guest, Sonya.   Her overall score is 6.5/10. We go a little more in depth in this episode.  Give it a listen. Did you see Secret Life of Pets?  What did you think?   Here are some other movies by Illumination Entertainment. 1. Minions (2015) 2. Despicable Me (2010) 3. Despicable Me 2 (2013) 4.

This post does have affiliate links.  I devoured this book!  This is bigger than the 'Go-Giver' book (where you can find my takeaway special for that book here), and I went through it so fast.   What I mean by that, this is another fantastic book.   The sub heading says '10 Principle of Abundance and Prosperity" and this is exactly what the book gives.   It's what hooked me from the first chapter. Chris Lee's 'Transform Your Life'. I heard one of the many podcasts he's done with Lewis Howes on his 'School of Greatness' podcast (Click here to see the YouTube video), loved the interview, and instantly was sold on picking up this book. Chris Lee's website does have very minimal info on it, but it does include his Twitter and Facebook pages. These were my biggest takeaways from his book: This is part of a quote by Marianne Williamson right before the table of contents, 'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.   Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.   It is our light not our darkness, t

Visualization. This is the audio for my very first vlog for this show.   You can see the vlog video here. In reading Chris Lee's book, his chapter on 'Visualization' very much inspired me.   When it comes to attaining a thing, I've often had a very easy time visualizing myself using the thing.    How I was going to use it, what for, when.   When it comes to relationships or people I've had a tougher go of it.   When it has come to someone I was very attracted to I would visualize the best of the best situations.   I'd put the person on a pedestal, it would be a little ridiculous. It's tough to visualize my goals as well.   They change often.    The 5 year plan, the 10 year plan.   It's tough to think that far ahead, but I know constant action in one thing for that period of time will produce results. I'm hoping visualization can help me in these two areas.  Click here to check out Chris Lee's Transform Your Life book What are some examples of how you've used the practice of visualization in your life? Please

I watched Evan Carmicheal's YouTube video called 7 Books Every Entrepreneur Must Read (click here to see the video).   This was one of the books on his list.  Bob Burg's and John David Mann's The Go-Giver.  I really thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love when lessons are told through a story format.   These are my biggest takeaways from this book, page numbers included. Joe drew a breath.   "So', he spoke this next thought slowly, thinking it out loud, "you're saying, people don't take advantage of you because you don't expect them to?   That because you don't put any focus on selfishness and greed, even when it's all around you, it doesn't have much impact on you?"   Then he had a flash of inspiration.   "Like a healthy immune system-the disease is all around you, but you don't catch it?' pg 14 "All things being equal-"  Ernesto finished the phrase:  '-people will do business with and refer business to those people they know, like and trust." pg 25 'Your life works the

This post has affiliate links. I’m actually reading books now.   Something I hadn’t done since high school.   I heard Brian Tracy YouTube video saying ‘reading is exercising the brain’.   That motivated me to begin reading more often.   It began the summer of 2015 when I found Tony Robbins Unlimited Power book while I was out sourcing for items to resell on eBay and Amazon.   I was around when he had those 30 minute infomercials during the 90s.   Those sold me hook, line and sinker!    I purchased his Awaken the Giant Within book around the time but never finished it.   It took me about 6 months to finish the Unlimited Power book and it was fantastic.   I’ve read about 4 books now (all small/slim books so far) and I’m currently reading the Go-Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann.   But before that I finished reading Rachel Jonat’s Do Less.   A Minimalist Guide To a Simplified, Organized, Happy Life.   These were my biggest takeaways from the book.   Here are quotes from the book with page numbers. ‘The trut

Mr. K from the Dancin' Squad.  He is one (of two) of my main dancehall mentors.   We discuss his upbringing in NYC via Harlem and especially the Bronx were the crew (Dancin' Squad) has made their name. We also chat about comics books, Hip Hop, house music, DJing, legendary nightclubs like Act 3 and The Fever.   Dance and the passion we both share for social/party dancing is definitely covered.   I ask how was the Dancin' Squad formed?  Where did the name come from?  How did he meet Fredlox and past/present members of the crew?   Hear about the time Fredlox once challenged dancehall pioneer Bogle in a Bronx nightclub.   And finally how the squad once had a dance/battle/session with the Black Eyed Peas crew (minus Fergie).   Thoughts, comments, opinions.   Please do so below.   Thanks for watching/listening.   Reach out to Mr. K on his Instagram here.

In this episode I interview Nahum Zak.   A full time reseller who sells primarily on eBay and Amazon FBA.   He's originally from New York City and has relocated to Florida with his family.   A lifelong entrepreneur who was a rabbi for a period of time.   We've both met in the Green Room(reseller Facebook group), we discuss how being part of the group has increased our knowledge and our respective (reselling) games.     NZ (n-zee for short) grosses around $10,000 per month in his business and imparts a sample of his knowledge in this episode.   We discuss several topics, including his story, his love for reselling.   We also discuss a recent topic that was brought up in the Scavenger Life podcast regarding geographic arbitrage.   Moving away from the big cities for a lower cost lifestyle, but still visiting for sourcing and/or culture.   We chat about happiness/goals and the balance between the too.   When are we working so hard towards our goals that our happiness (in life) suffers.   Finally we breakdown hi

Korie Genius is one of the top Dancehall choreographers in NYC currently(he regularly teaches at the world renowned Broadway Dance Center).  In this episode, I dig into his origins and his love for dancehall.   How he was born into this lifestyle and music.   He is a perfect example of focusing on one thing and becoming successful at doing so.   That one thing being dance, then later teaching. I also discuss  how he made the transition from teaching part-time to going full time with his passion.   Finally we chat about his future entrepreneurial plans.   I feel this interview is essential especially for anyone who wants to make a full time living doing something you love.   Enjoy this talk with someone who I consider to be one of the humblest dancers I've come to know.
