Welcome back to the Marketing Secrets podcast. I hope you guys are doing amazing today. I’ve got an exciting show that I want to share with you about the difference in being a consumer versus a producer. Alright, so I’m really actually super excited for this episode for a couple of reasons. You know how when you learn something and you’re like, ‘Oh that’s cool.” And then like 3 or 4 weeks later it comes back up and all the sudden it’s like, “ahh” the angels are singing from heaven and it’s like, yes, this is something you need right now. This is totally what happened. So let me rewind back to the Puerto Rico mastermind. All my friends who moved there, always, instead of saying “Porto Rico” they all say, “Puerto Rico” so maybe that’s how you’re supposed to say it. Anyway, so we were down there with Brendon Burchard and a whole bunch of other cool people. And there was one of the guys who was with us in the group and he has a really good business, but he’s not doing any social media. Kind of against it like, ‘I don’t do social media.’ So during his session when we were doing the little hot seat on him, you know we were asking him about that. And he’s like, ‘I just don’t have time. There’s so much stuff happening.” And then Brendon dropped this gold nugget that I thought was cool at the time, but then became cooler last night. He said, “Dude, you have to understand. I’m not a consumer of social media, I’m a producer. I don’t get sucked in and spend 8 hours a day on my phone, because I’m not consuming social media. I don’t consume it I just produce it.” And I was like, “Oh that’s cool.” And I wrote down produce and don’t consume. So that was kind of the thing. And then last night I was with my kids who are super amazing, and Summer is coming soon. And so for any of you guys who have kids, hopefully this helps you as well, because it’s helping me right now. So we’re getting closer and my wife and I are dreading, when school ends and now they’re home for summer, what do they do all day? Usually it’s like, they sit there and watch tv all day. And it’s like, we don’t want that. Or they watch YouTube videos of other people having fun while they’re in our house. And it’s like, I want them doing stuff and creating, and doing stuff. So our first thought, one of our friends, they did a cool thing last summer, they did a screen free summer. And I was like, “We should do screen summer.” And I told my wife that and Collette was like, “Well, then what are they going to do all day. You’ll be at work and I’m going to be here with them, having to entertain them all day.” I was like, “Oh yeah, that does suck.” I’m like, “okay, we need another plan.” And I started thinking more and more and all the sudden this thought from Brendon popped back in my head and I was like, “Oh my gosh.” So we sat down with all our kids and said “This is the deal. You have to understand there’s two types of people in this world. There are producers and there are consumers. Do you guys know the difference?” And they had some ideas that were way off. And I’m like, ‘No, no, no.” So I was like, “Right now,” I looked at Aiden, he’s my little 8 y
