Summary

Alex Banayan is the only nationally bestselling business author under the age of 30 in America. His book, The Third Door: The Wild Quest to Uncover How The World's Most Successful People Launched Their Careers, documents his unprecedented seven-year journey to interview the most innovative leaders of the past half-century, including Bill Gates, Maya Angelou, Lady Gaga, Larry King, Steve Wozniak, Jane Goodall, Jessica Alba, Quincy Jones, and many more. He also funded this journey by hacking The Price is Right, where he won and sold a sailboat to finance his dream.

He's been named to Forbes' 30 Under 30 list, Insider's Most Powerful People Under 30, and appeared across countless media outlets. He's also an acclaimed keynote speaker, having presented The Third Door framework to Apple, Salesforce, and countless others.

Alex is a fascinating individual and an incredibly captivating writer. I'm thrilled to have him on the podcast to introduce the concept of the Third Door. You'll learn about the Third Door mindset and how successful people master the art of breaking through when no one will take their meetings or offer them their first deal. You'll also hear wild stories from Alex's journey about how he landed interviews with people few would have any idea how to get in touch with, his unique perspective on the power of mentorship, and why changing what someone believes in is the key to getting truly unstuck.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Achieve Your Goals podcast the show that empowers you to wake up to your full potential and achieve your biggest goals and dreams. I am your host Hal Elrod and I invite you to join us each week as we share actionable
0:14.3	strategies to take your life to the next level as well as interview world-class
0:18.4	experts and entrepreneurs who have achieved extraordinary goals themselves and we ask them to give you a
0:24.0	peek behind the curtain and teach you exactly what you need to do to do the same.
0:27.7	Ready, here we go. Hey goal achievers, it's Hal Elrod and whether you are brand new to the
0:41.9	Achiever Girls Podcast or you've been a long time
0:44.4	listener, thank you for that, you may have noticed that I almost never, ever have
0:49.1	sponsors for the Achievement Girls Podcast. And that is because when I started the podcast in 2012,
0:54.6	my only intention was to add value for my readers
0:57.6	of The Miracle Morning and members of the Miracle Morning community.
1:00.6	And while I don't think there's anything wrong with having sponsors, you know, especially if you're recommending things that you personally use or believe in.
1:08.0	But I don't have any plans on bringing on sponsors because adding value to your life and your world is still my main commitment and
1:14.8	why I'm doing this. So because of that other than one or two random instances I've
1:19.2	never really had a sponsor or earned money directly from the podcast. Now I'm not trying to make
1:25.1	you feel bad for me. I do benefit a lot from the podcast and I hope you do too. But there has been one huge
1:30.4	benefit from the podcast that in my opinion outweighs any sponsors that I could
1:35.3	potentially bring on and that is the best year ever blueprint live experience and how many of
1:42.1	our listeners end up attending the live event when we
1:46.1	survey we always survey our audience before or after the event and say where did you
1:50.4	hear about the best year your Blueprint Live experience?
1:52.6	And again, it's our annual event that happens every December in San Diego.
