Summary
Like the ballers that they are, Dan and Ian recorded this week’s podcast from the ballroom of the hotel they are staying at in Cebu City as they travel around SE Asia visiting with LBP listeners and members of the Dynamite Circle.
With the popularity of their recent podcast which answered listener questions (and their overflowing in-boxes asking more questions) they decided to hunker down and discuss some answers.
This was all after they nommed a killer gourmet cheese plate in the business lounge at the airport!

| 0:17.8 | If you want to know more about this program or this podcast, or want to get barraged |
| 0:22.1 | by a lot of annoying pop-ups, check out our website, lifestylebusinesspodcast.com. |
| 0:32.8 | Yeah, buddy, we're back. It's a lifestyle business podcast. It's Thursday. We're live from the Philippines. |
| 0:38.8 | This is the podcast we believe building a business. It's the ideal way to create more freedom and opportunity for you, your family, and those around you. Those around me today is my captain, my co-hosts, the CEO of our fine organization, the man who puts the high and the Mabu hi. Welcome to the Philippines, sir. |
| 0:55.2 | Welcome, welcome. We are hanging out in the hotel here in Sabu. We were in the ballroom, |
| 1:00.8 | doing a little impromptu podcast. Yeah, I got to apologize for not showing up on your Thursday |
| 1:05.9 | morning last week. We just had such a crazy week. One of our interns had an infected knee. We had to go to |
| 1:15.1 | surgery, hang out in the hospital. It was like a four-day thing. It was a thing. Unfortunately, |
| 1:20.8 | you know, quick tip out there for everybody traveling around. Make sure you have insurance, |
| 1:24.6 | although it was cheap for her to get her surgery done, it was much cheaper, I guess, than it would be in America. It was still very expensive. So I think it's a good idea. Everybody that's traveling, check your insurance, make sure they cover you on international travel. Yeah, and we're going to work on that for the DCers as well. We're going to do some kind of affinity group buy thing. Anyway, let's get moving on to the news. I found out that we have over 200 iTunes reviews. |
| 1:50.3 | Isn't that amazing? Yeah, because Rob Walling was saying on his podcast, startups for the rest of us, |
| 1:55.5 | that iTunes actually sections off your iTunes reviews for each country. And so we have 133 reviews in the USA. |
| 2:04.4 | But then we've got, look at Australia coming through with over 21 reviews. |
| 2:08.4 | Wow. |

| 2:13.2 | We met John Kennedy and Chris Tucker here in Cebu the last couple days. |
| 2:16.6 | Both of those guys absolutely crushing it. We went over to John Kennedy's new office. This place is so baller. I was so impressed. Actually, I'm going to bring John onto the program because he's doing some really cool social media buying. So you can like buy likes and Twitter stuff. And he's setting up right out of here out of Sibu. Talk about bootstrapping. John came to the Philippines pretty recently with two partners. He's got 30 somewhat people set up in an office, which is basically a home. Yeah. So he's really doing it, but he's legit. He's got all the stuff straight. They're moving into this great office down the street in Subboo here. Super inspiring stuff. Thanks for the iTunes reviews. Who do we got from? How do you pronounce that, man? This is a great podcast with so many actionable items. Five stars. Thank you to Reality Jumper. Five stars. Been listening to five days, and I've already downloaded all the back catalog.
