For Ben Nemtin and three of his Canadian friends, it was a willingness to announce their dreams to the world, take massive action, and help others along the way.
They have proven over and over that no dream is too big to achieve and anything is possible.
But why do so many get stuck in living “average” lives and never go after what they want?
In episode #16 I bring on Ben, star of the MTV show The Buried Life, as he unlocks the key on how to turn any dream into a reality.

Since the advice is coming from a young guy who hustled his way to played basketball with President Obama and partied at the Playboy Mansion (without an invitation) you better believe that it’s advice worth listening to.

I hope you enjoyed listening to what Ben shared as much as I did. I’d love for you to answer these two questions in the comments section below: 1. What’s your biggest dream you’d like to accomplish? 2. What’s the biggest challenge you have in trying to accomplish it? Be sure to announce your dream below as you never know who is reading that can help you achieve it!
What if I told you the key to success was not going after what you wanted, but helping others get what they wanted instead?
Better yet, what if there was research that proved the more you gave of your time and resources willingly to others, that you’d be on your way to achieving your wildest dreams?
It’s hard to believe, but the research shared in this interview will unfold this revolutionary approach to success.
Adam Grant is the youngest tenured professor at the Wharton School of Business. He’s been recognized as Wharton’s single highest rated teacher, one of Business Weeks favorite professors and one of The World’s 40 Best Business Professors Under 40. He was a record setting advertising director at Let’s Go publications, an All-American springboard diver (props to Adam for being an athlete as well) and a professional magician.
This is an exciting interview because Adam and I talk about our differences in leveraging LinkedIn and I’d love to hear what side of the coin you fall on.
Grant talks about the power of weak ties and strong ties. Also, the most important relationship that most miss out on which is dormant ties. These are those dormant relationships that are underutilized and we discuss how they can be the biggest opportunities for you.
