Today’s guest is John Lee Dumas. John is the founder and host of Entrepreneurs on Fire, one of the earliest and most groundbreaking podcasts on the subject of entrepreneurship.  John has interviewed over 2,700 entrepreneurs, including Tony Robbins, Seth Godin, Gary Vaynerchuk, Barbara Corcoran, and Tim Ferriss - many of whom he now considers dear friends. He has achieved over 100 million listens and has generated over $18 million in revenue since 2012. In his new book, The Common Path to Uncommon Success: A Roadmap to Financial Freedom and Fulfillment, he takes what he learned from his interviews and lays out the exact path you can take to unlock your potential and create the life you deserve. In this episode, John and I are talking about how he created a category and built a business that’s both very profitable and incredibly lean. We get into how he found his passion after a tough transition out of the Armed Forces, how his podcast generates real revenue without being slimy or scammy, and what it means for him to live a life of true personal and financial freedom.
