Welcome back to the Mike Dillard podcast, where we help entrepreneurs like you get the knowledge and skills that you need to bring your dreams to life.

Well, gang, today I'm going to start by giving you the names of a few very successful companies real quick because all of them have one single thing in common, and I want you to figure that out.

AT&T, Baskin-Robbins, Boeing, Coldwell banker, FedEx, Microsoft, New York Life, Shell Oil, Century 21, Chevron, IBM, HBO,

Toyota, GE, Levi Strauss, Kawasaki, Lockheed Martin, Merrill Lynch, Holiday Inn, Planet Fitness,

and Tony Robbins, to name just a few. So what do they share? They are all clients who've hired

our guest today, Jay Abraham, for consulting. Now, if you've spent any time at all in the marketing industry,

you know that Jay is the most well-known and most successful marketing consultant in the world

today. I've followed Jay's career for more than a decade now, and I've always wondered how

he built this incredible consulting practice. Well, this week, I finally have the chance to interview Jay and ask

him those questions directly. As you're about to find out, Jay is literally a genius. His

vocabulary alone just blew me away, and you're quickly going to realize that he has forgotten

more about business than you or I have ever known. He was also gracious enough to dive into his personal life when it comes to his relationships,

his children, and his finances, which makes this an incredibly special interview.

Without further ado, please help me welcome Jay Abraham.

Jay Abraham, it is an absolute honor to have you on the podcast.

Thank you so much for joining us today.

It is my honor and my privilege, Mike. I love the opportunity to share anything of value I can with

entrepreneurs anywhere, everywhere, any size. So I'm thrilled. Thank you. Thank you. So I've been

looking forward to this conversation for a couple of years now. I've always been thinking about what I would ask you whenever I had the opportunity to. And I've followed your career since I got my start 15 years ago. And in many ways, I've loved it because it reminds me of me in a few ways, meaning the creative ideation

process that you have whenever you go and consult with a different company.

But one thing that I could never figure out is your actual business model.

You are the highest paid business consultant on the planet.
