This is Tropical Talk Radio. Number one with Sean Ogle, the man who started it all. This is where the

intro music plays. I'm honored to be part of number one. Yeah, buddy, you've downloaded Tropical

Talk Radio where we talk about all things, entrepreneurship, travel, and lifestyle. If you're

interested in more about this program,

check out tropical MBA.com. And if you sign up for our mailing list, I will personally send

you 50 free podcast episodes that take you along on our journey and expose the insider story

on how we started a million dollar honest to goodness product business while we

traveled the globe.

All right, so look, this is 100% unedited, and this is different from the lifestyle business

podcast.

I got this fancy little recorder, all kinds of interesting people around me, and there is this

model in the internet marketing sphere where you come out with a podcast

once a week and it's like gold, you know, and like you go implement all that stuff and

it inspires you and stuff.

This podcast is different.

This is sort of like, I used to skip school and listen to Howard Stern every day.

And Howard Stern was my buddy and he kept me company.

And now I do the same with Adam Carolla. and I want to start to create resources like that for our audience Sean because we spend all day long talking about business and lifestyle and so why not put a little bit more to it to tape for people who are more interested. Absolutely. You look at the time we've spent here in Bali and every single day we're having awesome business conversations, People are bringing new ideas at the table and there should be a better way to share all that information that we're experiencing on our regular basis. So help set the scene for us. Like, what have you been doing for the last week here in Bali? So for the last week, I've actually been gearing up to leave. I've got to hop on a plane here in an hour to head back to the States. But, you know, one of the things I've been doing is I've just been trying to soak in as much information as I can. Because we've got a really cool situation here, which most people don't have the opportunity to experience, where every day we're talking with smart entrepreneurs that are doing big things with their business and every

day there's new people dropping by the house and so every time someone new comes comes to town

you get the opportunity to pick their brain and you know teach them and learn from them so like

we had this guy Travis stop by uh you know five days ago and he hasn't left yet and um you know he was

like creeping in the dark when we got home was like who like, who's this guy? And, no, it turns out, you know, he's a genius. He's a genius. He's running, you know, doing five figures off his business online. You know, he's really, really smart SEO guy. And so I've been able to pick his brain and learn some things that I didn't previously know that I've already started applying to my business and started seeing, with. Right. We got Amir who's doing contextual advertising. We got Simon, who's an e-commerce guru at this point. I mean, his story is definitely one we've got to get on the podcast. We got David flying in. We've got Ian flying in. We had Stephen Moody from the D.C. here a couple weeks ago. A bunch of dudes. It's a bunch of dudes. Alyssa can't get here soon enough. She's mixed it up a little bit. Alyssa Doucette is Tropical MBA number nine coming here in January to help us with the dynamite circle and all this kind of cool stuff we're doing. You were Tropical MBA number one two years ago. It feels like 10 years ago. I mean, you've taken over the world in the meantime, so what have you been doing for two years? I've been having way, way too much fun, I think is the answer to that question. You know, I still remember the day. I get this random email from this guy who had this blog called the Tropical MBA. There wasn't really even a blog at this point. It was like a sales letter. And we're just like, who is this guy? Thinking I'm, uh, you know, going to get mugged when I hopped off the plane at midnight in Bangkok. But, no, the last two years, I've just been working hard to, um, you know, build up my blog location 180. right try and you know basically it's adopted the tagline build a business live anywhere
