So listen here to find out what music Russell listens to with his kids to get their energy levels high enough to make it through an entire school day. ---Transcript--- What’s up everybody? This is Russell Brunson, welcome to the Marketing Secrets podcast. Right now I’m driving in the car with…. Norah: Me. Russell: What’s your name? Norah: Norah. Russell: And we’re going to tell you guys something really, really cool. Alright, so me and Norah just took the kids to school and dropped them off and it’s really fun. So Norah drives with us most mornings and we take the kids to the junior high. And I don’t know about you but school wasn’t my favorite thing. It was really hard and I didn’t enjoy it very much. So I’ve got this really special 5 minute drive everyday to take my kids to school, and during the 5 minute drive, I realize they are about to enter to probably the most miserable, depressing place on earth. I shouldn’t say that out loud, but come on now, those of you guys who have been through school (which is all of us) it’s not like Disneyland, it’s not like a Funnel Hacking Live event. It’s not like something exciting where you’re motivated and inspired and ready to change the world. You go and you’re like waiting for the bell to ring so you can see your friends for two minutes before you go back into class again. So I figure I’ve got to give my kids the best chance to enter into school every single day in the most peak state possible. So what we do, in case anyone who drives down this road with me is wondering, in fact I had a friend the other day, she said, “Sometimes I pass you guys when you’re driving to school and it looks like you guys are having a disco party.” Which makes me want to get a disco ball in the Jeep. But basically we crank up the music, so today we’re listening to Bohemian Rhapsody and we start head banging, huh Norah. And Norah is the cutest little head banger. When it gets to the awesome part, she starts head banging and kicking her feet and we’re all going crazy and we’re laughing and we’re singing, and we’re trying to….my goal is to get them in the best state possible so when they step out of the jeep and go into the school they are starting at the peak excitement for the day.  And hopefully that will last all the way to wrestling practice at 3:30. Anyway, the reason I wanted to share that with you guys is because music is powerful. I’m not a big fan of listening to music all the time, I think a lot of people waste their lives just listening to music, when they could be listening to podcasts and learning, and all sorts of stuff. In fact, I read somewhere, I’m going to misquote the facts, but it was like, “the average person who listens to music all day make $50,000, and the average person who listens to podcasts all day is like $150,000 a year.” So you’ll 3x your income just by listening to podcasts as opposed to music. But there is a time and a place for music, and I think that the best time and place for music, and I feel bad I shouldn’t say that because I do love music and I listen to it a lot, but the time it’s most efficient is before you are about to do something. Music has this magical, powerful effect to change your state. If you listen to a sad song, you can be sad instantly. You listen to a happy song, you can be happy instantly. A pump up song, whatever it is, music has the ability to change your state and shift your state faster than I think, anything else out there. Outside of maybe
