And welcome to Fearless Thinking, a 

podcast designed to help you navigate

00:00:14,581 --> 00:00:16,816

authentic leadership and the 

entrepreneurial journey. 

4

00:00:17,50 --> 00:00:18,284

I'm your host, Michael Devous

5

00:00:18,518 --> 00:00:21,154

And these are my thoughts, lessons and 

insights from my entrepreneurial 

6

00:00:21,788 --> 00:00:24,758

journey into coaching workshops, 

motivational speaking.

7

00:00:24,991 --> 00:00:28,661

And of course, what I picked up from 

interviews with inspiring leaders and 

8

00:00:28,661 --> 00:00:30,563

entrepreneurs along the way.

9

00:00:31,131 --> 00:00:36,36

My mission is to help people unlock 

their untapped potential by using fear 

10

00:00:36,169 --> 00:00:38,705

as a catalyst for powerful change and 

growth,

11

00:00:39,773 --> 00:00:43,143

so they can step into the greatest 

version of their most authentic selves.

12

00:00:44,344 --> 00:00:46,513

All right, let's get into some fearless 

thinking.

13

00:01:05,131 --> 00:01:07,534

Hey, welcome back fearless

14

00:01:07,867 --> 00:01:08,34

thinkers. 

15

00:01:08,335 --> 00:01:09,235

I'm your host, Michael Devous

16

00:01:09,469 --> 00:01:10,837

This is the fear of very little. 

17

00:01:11,538 --> 00:01:13,239

This is the Fearless Thinking podcast.

18

00:01:14,441 --> 00:01:15,508

You know, I think i'll talk

19

00:01:16,276 --> 00:01:16,743

pretty fast. 

20

00:01:16,976 --> 00:01:20,113

I've been listening to some of my own 

episodes, and I'm like, I think I talk 

21

00:01:20,180 --> 00:01:20,347

fast. 

22

00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:21,715

But anyway, let me know. 

23

00:01:21,715 --> 00:01:22,649

If you think I talked to you. 

24

00:01:23,550 --> 00:01:24,584

it's not going to change anything. 

25

00:01:24,818 --> 00:01:26,19

But why not? 

26

00:01:26,353 --> 00:01:27,620

Why not ask the question?

27

00:01:28,655 --> 00:01:28,955

Um,

28

00:01:29,689 --> 00:01:31,958

have you done some fearless thinking 

this week? 

29

00:01:32,25 --> 00:01:32,359

I hope. 

30

00:01:32,425 --> 00:01:34,728

So we're talking this week about

31

00:01:35,395 --> 00:01:38,732

well specifically, the launch of the 

Ascend Hub, our online

32

00:01:39,999 --> 00:01:40,800

entrepreneur's

33

00:01:41,401 --> 00:01:42,402

membership community,

34

00:01:43,236 --> 00:01:43,636

which is launching

35

00:01:44,671 --> 00:01:45,905

this August.

36

00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:48,308

And I wanted to take some time

37

00:01:49,75 --> 00:01:52,512

this week with these, fuse me, with 

these episodes, to talk about some of 

38

00:01:52,512 --> 00:01:52,946

the things

39

00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:55,849

that I feel like this intub is going to 

address

40

00:01:56,349 --> 00:01:57,150

and help us with

41

00:01:58,251 --> 00:01:58,551

our journey.

42

00:01:59,619 --> 00:02:01,454

And today we're talking about power of 

connection.

43

00:02:03,156 --> 00:02:03,857

One of the things I've

44

00:02:05,58 --> 00:02:07,694

was, the pain points that I thought of

45

00:02:08,194 --> 00:02:11,531

when it came to the Ascend Hub was the 

feeling of isolation.

46

00:02:12,198 --> 00:02:14,434

We're talking about a critical element 

for a successful

47

00:02:15,535 --> 00:02:18,605

launch, and that is connection, not 

feeling isolated. 

48

00:02:19,72 --> 00:02:21,408

And launching a business can really 

feel isolating. 

49

00:02:21,941 --> 00:02:24,678

You can feel not a lot of people are 

going to share your passion at the 

50

00:02:24,678 --> 00:02:24,844

beginning. 

51

00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:30,16

You might drive people crazy talking 

about your idea until you're blue in 

52

00:02:30,16 --> 00:02:30,116

the face,

53

00:02:30,750 --> 00:02:31,84

you know? 

54

00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:32,986

But leaving it can leave you. 

55

00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:36,256

A launch can leave you feeling 

isolated, but with a million questions 

56

00:02:36,489 --> 00:02:37,123

and challenges.

57

00:02:38,425 --> 00:02:39,826

However, if you could tap

58

00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:44,30

into a network of people and 

experienced entrepreneurs and 

59

00:02:44,30 --> 00:02:47,667

supportive peers, what would that look 

like for you, where you're at right now,

60

00:02:48,435 --> 00:02:49,235

how would that feel? 

61

00:02:49,469 --> 00:02:50,103

And the launch phase

62

00:02:51,371 --> 00:02:54,674

of any business can be a labyrinth of 

decisions. 

63

00:02:55,308 --> 00:02:56,309

And doubts

64

00:02:57,77 --> 00:02:58,511

and unforeseen obstacles. 

65

00:02:59,312 --> 00:02:59,479

Uh? 

66

00:03:00,13 --> 00:03:01,281

I mean, if I only had a quarter,

67

00:03:03,616 --> 00:03:06,386

we used to say that if I had a dime, if 

I had a nickel of about a quarter.

68

00:03:06,986 --> 00:03:08,655

And I think that was back when they 

actually

69

00:03:08,888 --> 00:03:09,589

had more value.

70

00:03:12,359 --> 00:03:15,929

So I think I'm going to say, if I only 

had 100 dollar bill for every one of 

71

00:03:15,929 --> 00:03:16,896

these unforeseen obstacles. 

72

00:03:17,230 --> 00:03:18,665

Because today, money is not the same. 

73

00:03:19,65 --> 00:03:21,67

You know, a quarter in a quarter, like 

it used to be. 

74

00:03:21,634 --> 00:03:23,136

H it, I digress. 

75

00:03:23,636 --> 00:03:25,872

I need a t shirt that just says, I do 

grass that's what I need.

76

00:03:26,573 --> 00:03:28,174

Somebody get me a t shirt, send it to me

77

00:03:30,10 --> 00:03:30,877

that says, I digress.

78

00:03:31,945 --> 00:03:35,215

Anyway, it's easy to feel lost and 

alone,

79

00:03:36,516 --> 00:03:36,816

but

80

00:03:37,217 --> 00:03:38,184

here's a little secret. 

81

00:03:38,752 --> 00:03:39,52

You know,

82

00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:41,287

connection is the key.

83

00:03:41,955 --> 00:03:44,357

You don't want to feel lost and alone, 

get connected. 

84

00:03:44,891 --> 00:03:48,194

And I'm not just talking about online 

social media groups and things. 

85

00:03:48,194 --> 00:03:49,229

We know those things don't work. 

86

00:03:49,396 --> 00:03:50,263

They're just the roi

87

00:03:51,698 --> 00:03:51,998

and

88

00:03:52,999 --> 00:03:53,466

in the Roe. 

89

00:03:53,933 --> 00:03:57,70

Return on your experience it's just not 

there. 

90

00:03:57,771 --> 00:04:01,241

These networks, these social media 

platforms, they're just not designed to 

91

00:04:01,241 --> 00:04:01,708

do that anymore. 

92

00:04:02,8 --> 00:04:04,678

In fact, what they originally were 

designed to do was to connect this. 

93

00:04:04,678 --> 00:04:06,112

And now they're designed to be 

advertising.

94

00:04:07,213 --> 00:04:12,419

They're just media advertising chains, 

using our eyeballs our time and our 

95

00:04:12,419 --> 00:04:16,756

attention to sell more advertising 

dollars and make more money and use our 

96

00:04:16,756 --> 00:04:18,358

content in order to do it. 

97

00:04:18,892 --> 00:04:20,794

So we're not really getting connected 

on those platforms.

98

00:04:22,495 --> 00:04:26,766

But if you can connect with others who 

are walking a similar path that you 

99

00:04:26,833 --> 00:04:30,970

are, you can gain valuable insights and 

share your challenges along the way, as 

100

00:04:30,970 --> 00:04:32,605

well as finding solutions together. 

101

00:04:33,73 --> 00:04:35,475

And the Ascend Hub is your launchpad 

two community.

102

00:04:36,509 --> 00:04:40,980

This end up, goes beyond just the 

resources that we'll be curating in our libraries

103

00:04:42,415 --> 00:04:46,19

in order to help you on your aspiring, 

entrepreneurial journey on your path. 

104

00:04:46,353 --> 00:04:48,488

But it's also about fostering a thriving

105

00:04:49,689 --> 00:04:53,960

community, really specifically designed 

to help support you, not only during 

106

00:04:54,94 --> 00:04:55,28

your launch, but

107

00:04:56,730 --> 00:04:59,999

post launch, at any stage, really along 

your journey.

108

00:05:02,35 --> 00:05:03,937

There's a couple of ways that we're 

doing this. 

109

00:05:04,37 --> 00:05:08,441

One is the founding leader network, 

which is connecting you with 

110

00:05:08,575 --> 00:05:10,410

experienced founding leaders.

111

00:05:11,378 --> 00:05:12,679

Those are individuals who've already 

launched.

112

00:05:14,981 --> 00:05:18,718

Those are individuals leaders who've 

already launched their businesses.

113

00:05:19,452 --> 00:05:21,287

So they've had some success.

114

00:05:22,22 --> 00:05:25,225

You can ask questions and learn from 

their own, their experiences, as well 

115

00:05:25,225 --> 00:05:28,328

as gain valuable insights and 

mentorship guidance

116

00:05:28,895 --> 00:05:30,96

during your launch phase,

117

00:05:31,464 --> 00:05:32,465

one of the things I've done

118

00:05:32,599 --> 00:05:32,899

with,

119

00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,437

we've done, I can't say I just, I need 

to remember not to do that anymore.

120

00:05:38,838 --> 00:05:41,641

I now have a team and have people 

behind me, and to have people that 

121

00:05:41,641 --> 00:05:43,743

believe in me that are coming on board.

122

00:05:45,378 --> 00:05:46,513

Massemo is one of those. 

123

00:05:46,579 --> 00:05:48,748

My strategic advisor, chief strategy 

advisor.

124

00:05:49,783 --> 00:05:52,786

And you know what we are bringing 

together.

125

00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:56,823

I don't know that there's any other 

online community that's done this. 

126

00:05:56,890 --> 00:05:58,825

Maybe they have, I just haven't heard 

of it yet. 

127

00:05:58,892 --> 00:06:03,563

But we're bringing on founding leaders, 

each one specifically targeting area of 

128

00:06:03,630 --> 00:06:09,69

industry focus, to provide us with the 

support and information and content we 

129

00:06:09,69 --> 00:06:12,5

need to support you on your journey

130

00:06:13,707 --> 00:06:16,509

there's peer to peer support groups 

inside the Ascend Hub

131

00:06:18,178 --> 00:06:21,548

with like minded entrepreneurs who are 

facing some of the similar challenges 

132

00:06:21,781 --> 00:06:23,83

that you are during their launch. 

133

00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:27,53

Those chat threads exchange, that we're 

calling them exchange threads, as well 

134

00:06:27,53 --> 00:06:27,320

as brainstorming

135

00:06:28,355 --> 00:06:28,988

Sessions and huddles,

136

00:06:30,90 --> 00:06:32,792

live coaching Sessions and works up work

137

00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:33,760

Sessions

138

00:06:35,295 --> 00:06:38,431

where you can brainstorm solutions, 

share your experiences and hold each 

139

00:06:38,431 --> 00:06:39,699

other accountable for your progress. 

140

00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:40,600

Along the way,

141

00:06:41,768 --> 00:06:44,471

we have expert forums and discussions,

142

00:06:46,39 --> 00:06:47,807

motivational speakers who can come in. 

143

00:06:47,874 --> 00:06:49,75

I'll be doing some of that myself. 

144

00:06:49,142 --> 00:06:52,345

I'm really excited about that, where 

you can engage in discussions with 

145

00:06:52,345 --> 00:06:53,913

industry experts and advisers

146

00:06:55,148 --> 00:06:59,786

within the ascent hub community, and 

you can get real time guidance guys and 

147

00:06:59,853 --> 00:07:02,589

overcome any of the hurdles that you're 

at during your launch. 

148

00:07:02,989 --> 00:07:04,257

Think about that, that's powerful. 

149

00:07:04,657 --> 00:07:08,194

And you're not paying thousands and 

thousands and thousands of dollars out 

150

00:07:08,261 --> 00:07:11,631

the door to all of these people and 

resources here and there, trying to 

151

00:07:11,631 --> 00:07:12,899

figure out what's what, you know? 

152

00:07:12,899 --> 00:07:15,468

I mean, it's all in one place at a 

very, very

153

00:07:16,503 --> 00:07:16,803

affordable

154

00:07:18,38 --> 00:07:18,338

subscription,

155

00:07:19,539 --> 00:07:23,309

which is important to me to ensure that 

it was easily accessible, the barrier, 

156

00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:26,279

very low, or entry and access,

157

00:07:27,313 --> 00:07:27,614

right?

158

00:07:29,315 --> 00:07:30,417

Here's a good quote from Mr. 

159

00:07:30,583 --> 00:07:35,822

Jobs himself, innovation, distinguishes 

between a leader and a follower.

160

00:07:37,590 --> 00:07:38,858

Innovation,

161

00:07:40,427 --> 00:07:42,562

I think it's one of those pieces of 

energy.

162

00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:46,99

Maybe that's where passion and 

creativity come together. 

163

00:07:46,499 --> 00:07:50,670

But you know, if we can leverage the 

power of connection within the Ascend Hub

164

00:07:50,904 --> 00:07:51,671

community,

165

00:07:52,172 --> 00:07:56,976

you'll not only overcome these launch 

challenges, but you'll foster a spirit 

166

00:07:57,143 --> 00:07:59,679

of innovation together for each other.

167

00:08:00,814 --> 00:08:03,950

Sharing those ideas and collaborating 

on your projects with a diverse 

168

00:08:04,517 --> 00:08:08,288

community can spark creative solutions 

and lead to a more successful launch, 

169

00:08:08,588 --> 00:08:13,393

having a diverse set of experiences and 

perspectives to help share with and 

170

00:08:13,460 --> 00:08:15,528

guide you on your launch journey.

171

00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:19,632

Man, you know all the different 

solutions you could come up with, 

172

00:08:19,699 --> 00:08:20,200

because you've got

173

00:08:21,134 --> 00:08:27,140

100 other perspectives other than your 

own to share with you on a solution you 

174

00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:30,276

might not have thought of, to look at 

an obstacle instead of an obstacle, but 

175

00:08:30,276 --> 00:08:34,280

as a stepping stone to see through 

their lenses and their perspectives

176

00:08:35,315 --> 00:08:39,886

at the problem a little differently, at 

the challenge a little differently, so 

177

00:08:39,953 --> 00:08:42,22

that you can get quicker to a solution.

178

00:08:43,156 --> 00:08:45,425

You can get to a solution much quicker,

179

00:08:45,925 --> 00:08:46,559

right?

180

00:08:47,227 --> 00:08:48,94

So, some examples

181

00:08:49,129 --> 00:08:49,429

of

182

00:08:50,330 --> 00:08:51,531

innovation through connection,

183

00:08:52,665 --> 00:08:54,34

which, if you would imagine an 

entrepreneur

184

00:08:55,68 --> 00:08:57,537

developing a new a fitness app,

185

00:08:58,738 --> 00:09:00,974

and by connecting with nutrition 

experts,

186

00:09:02,409 --> 00:09:05,945

perhaps even in the Ascend Hub community, 

they could technically brainstorm

187

00:09:06,980 --> 00:09:11,551

features, ux and ui features, that 

intelligent personalized meal plans 

188

00:09:11,718 --> 00:09:12,919

alongside their workout routines. 

189

00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:15,789

Now, this isn't just fitness we're 

talking about here. 

190

00:09:16,89 --> 00:09:17,924

These are people who can help you

191

00:09:18,825 --> 00:09:21,61

id eight, I think, is a work anyway. 

192

00:09:21,695 --> 00:09:23,196

Ida innovate, create

193

00:09:23,863 --> 00:09:28,368

your ui and ux experience for your app 

to serve your community and your people 

194

00:09:28,435 --> 00:09:28,568

better. 

195

00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:30,170

When you're bringing your idea to 

market,

196

00:09:31,304 --> 00:09:31,471

right? 

197

00:09:31,538 --> 00:09:32,205

People are prepared. 

198

00:09:32,439 --> 00:09:36,109

You can create focus groups in there to 

look and test out these ideas and make 

199

00:09:36,109 --> 00:09:37,77

sure it's ready to go. 

200

00:09:37,377 --> 00:09:41,381

When you can't afford to pay for an 

entire team of people to do it right, 

201

00:09:41,715 --> 00:09:44,751

you can't go out and hire a whole focus 

group, but inside the ascent of 

202

00:09:44,751 --> 00:09:46,19

community we're here for you. 

203

00:09:46,186 --> 00:09:47,220

We can help you do it. 

204

00:09:47,387 --> 00:09:52,359

And this collaboration can lead to more 

holistic and innovative solutions for 

205

00:09:52,425 --> 00:09:54,94

your app, your services, or your idea.

206

00:09:55,395 --> 00:09:59,132

Member spotlights, this is going to be 

one of my favorites, because I love to 

207

00:09:59,132 --> 00:09:59,666

interview people.

208

00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:06,106

We will have members that we bring on 

board every single month, on board that 

209

00:10:06,172 --> 00:10:09,609

we bring up and highlight every single 

month, to talk about

210

00:10:10,176 --> 00:10:13,780

their launches, to talk about where 

they are, to focus on their particular 

211

00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:15,148

challenges that they're facing. 

212

00:10:15,382 --> 00:10:16,516

Also, to highlight their successes. 

213

00:10:17,217 --> 00:10:19,386

You know, we'll put them in the hot 

seat for a minute, and we'll get to 

214

00:10:19,386 --> 00:10:22,355

know them a little bit better, so that 

you can see you've got like minded, 

215

00:10:22,489 --> 00:10:25,125

like valued people right here in the 

community that you can connect

216

00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:25,692

with.

217

00:10:26,993 --> 00:10:27,994

So that'll be a really fun

218

00:10:28,728 --> 00:10:29,229

thing to do. 

219

00:10:29,229 --> 00:10:31,965

We'll do leader highlights every single 

month. 

220

00:10:32,32 --> 00:10:36,202

So you get to talk to and see how our 

leaders began their journey, launch 

221

00:10:36,436 --> 00:10:40,6

their own careers and now are providing 

feedback and advice and coaching for you.

222

00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:43,209

You know, if you send to have, you got 

to share your thoughts and your 

223

00:10:43,209 --> 00:10:43,376

experiences. 

224

00:10:43,710 --> 00:10:48,114

I think sharing it, if you share it 

together with people who are on this journey,

225

00:10:49,215 --> 00:10:52,919

you're going to, you're going to have 

so many more solutions, and you're not 

226

00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:53,386

going to feel isolated.

227

00:10:54,421 --> 00:10:56,823

Connection's going to help you on your 

entrepreneurial journey. 

228

00:10:56,890 --> 00:10:58,658

And the Ascend Hub can help get you 

there.

229

00:10:58,892 --> 00:10:59,826

Feeling isolated

230

00:11:00,427 --> 00:11:01,161

won't be a thing. 

231

00:11:01,227 --> 00:11:04,97

TheAscend Hub communitie's here for you, 

we'll be here for you.

232

00:11:04,264 --> 00:11:07,467

I'm already thoughting like it's 

happening, because that's how you have 

233

00:11:07,467 --> 00:11:08,902

to do it, that you have to talk like 

it. 

234

00:11:08,902 --> 00:11:09,69

Already. 

235

00:11:11,71 --> 00:11:12,205

you can begin signing up.

236

00:11:12,572 --> 00:11:16,843

the Ascend Hub membership called our

00:11:16,910 --> 00:11:18,78

238

00:11:18,745 --> 00:11:21,81

And it's before we even open the doors 

in August.

239

00:11:21,381 --> 00:11:24,284

And the discounts are crazy good right 

now. 

240

00:11:24,417 --> 00:11:27,387

links and get signed up early. 

241

00:11:28,188 --> 00:11:31,558

You'll never find these discounts 

again, by the way, and they lock in for 

242

00:11:31,558 --> 00:11:33,226

your passion. 

278

00:12:49,302 --> 00:12:52,572

you're out there doing, not only for 

279

00:12:52,572 --> 00:12:53,773

yourself but the rest of the world. 

280

00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:57,143

Bringing your ideas to launch is not an 

easy thing to do. 

281

00:12:57,210 --> 00:12:58,278

We are here for that. 

282

00:12:58,578 --> 00:12:59,479

We're here for you. 

283

00:12:59,546 --> 00:13:00,747

And that's the Ascend Hub.

00:13:00,814 --> 00:13:01,548

And fearless thinking. 

285

00:13:01,614 --> 00:13:02,82

So don't forget,

286

00:13:03,149 --> 00:13:04,117

You already did some.

I've obviously you did some, because 

you're launching. 

289

00:13:07,554 --> 00:13:09,956
