What's shake and fire nation Johnny Dumas here and I am fired up to bring you our feature guest today Joe Fairless Joe are you prepared to ignite.

I feel all tingly on the inside now yes in the last 18 months Joe let the advertising industry where he was the youngest VP and NYC agency.

Created a business that flopped an investment company controlling over seven million of real estate and launched one of the most popular investing podcast best real estate investing advice ever.

Joe I've given fire nation just a little in sight so share more about you personally next pound upon the bus.

Sure so now what I do is I raise capital for real estate investments specifically multi family but I think what's more relevant to fire nation is I was I was doing a full time job like he mentioned john I was the youngest VP of a New York City at agency.

I was not quite fulfilled you know I'm a huge Tony Robbins fan as I know you are and probably a lot a lot of fire nation is as well.

And he you know he talks about the six human needs and I won't get into all six but the last two leads of a film and that's growth and contribution and I just wasn't

that with my with my advertising job and so I was doing other things I was I was actually interviewing people for a book that I'm writing on how to have remarkable career and I was teaching classes on real estate investing and I was investing on the side and I was even doing some standard comedy and no promises on the funny part for this interview.

But the improv to the test Joe I'm not going to lie right.

Well I so I you know I was I was doing all that stuff and it just I just wasn't digging it and as you mentioned I I definitely had a major business flop right out of the gate and we'll get into that in the failure part but now what I do is I basically work with investors and raise raise money and we buy real estate investments together.

Well Joe you alluded to what we are definitely going to be talking about a failure we're also going to be talking about in a piffony that you've had at some point in your journey and you better believe we're going to be talking about what's firing you up right now but before we get to all that jazz share your quote and why you chose it.

The number one thing for me is secret to living is giving Tony Robbins in his Ted talk and if if anyone hasn't had an opportunity to listen to that highly recommend it just Google Ted talk Tony Robbins or I'm sure you have a link in the show notes page john absolutely just pile the work on Joe go ahead.

And I'll give you 30 other links throughout this conversation.

And you know he mentioned that and what I've seen just it's so obvious with my with my business and professional life and personal life the more I give the more that it's reciprocated and in many different ways so you know specifically what I've always how I've always approached thing is I've I've become a matchmaker and I'm a huge fan.

I'm a huge fan of Judy Robbins book how to be a power connector and she talks about basically how to connect with anyone and I have been doing that my whole life and whenever I read that book I was like oh yeah so this makes sense from a business standpoint as well.

You know so with with the with the matchmaking part and you know with just constantly looking to add value in other people's lives I know that it'll eventually come back 10 fold as long as I just keep doing you know keep keep keep adding value as much as I can.
