Evan Carmichael is an extraordinary human being. Truly a man who is built to serve, he is an entrepreneur who helps others believe in themselves and ultimately accomplish their goals and dreams. However Evan struggled through school, and it wasn't until his senior year in high school that he began to believe he could do more than what he previously thought. In 2009, Evan started his YouTube channel with just 25 subscribers, and today he has over 3 million. He is humble and brutally honest in saying that the road was not easy, and he teaches others what he learned along the way, so they can speed up their growth. Recently he came out with his new book MOMENTUM, to inspire people to stop procrastinating, stop worrying about perfection, and just start. I have learned so much from Evan since beginning to follow him, and today he is going to share his thoughts with us on education. Watch the interview on YouTube! Read Evan’s full bio on his website. Order his new book “Momentum” because I promise you it will make all the difference! Looking for an alternative to traditional education? Learn more about our virtual academy.

Today's interview is with a man who is from my very own hometown, Rome, NY. At one time, Orlando “Ori” Spado, was considered to be one of the most respected gangsters in Hollywood. His autobiographical book, "The Accidental Gangster," portrays Ori's life from New York to Los Angeles where he became a fixer to Hollywood’s elite and became friends and rubbed shoulders with notorious Mob. However as we are well aware, this kind of life has serious consequences, and he spent time in prison. Today he shares many lessons he learned along the way, especially that "the life" eventually catches up with you and there are only two ways out... jail or dead. Not so glamorous when we put it that way, so there are many lessons to be learned. Enjoy!
