John Lee Dumas on How to Make Millions Doing What You LOVE
- Or listen in:
Greetings, Superfriends, and welcome to this week’s show!
If you listen to any other podcasts besides this one, there’s a high likelihood you know ALL about today’s guest. Less than 3 years ago, he was doing commercial real estate, after bouncing around from the military, where he served in Iraq, to law school, to corporate life, to tech startups, and even commercial real estate. All this time, he was searching to find his calling, and eager to do something that both inspired him and inspired others. Sounds familiar, right?
Today, he’s largely and rightfully credited as one of the major names in podcasting, running what is probably the most successful daily podcast in the business, Entrepreneur On Fire. He’s interviewed all of the greats. He’s created successful products to teach tens of thousands, including myself, how to launch, grow, and monetize podcasts and webinars. He’s also transformed what it means to be financially independent, generating literally millions a year in revenues and profits.
In this episode, I had two goals. Because I’m currently publicizing a new course and podcast on personal branding to teach podcasters, authors, and online instructors how to go multi-platform, I wanted to get the absolute best tips for podcasting, hosting webinars, and of course, creating your own successful content ecosystem. Though of course, because this episode is first and foremost intended for the audience of the SuperHuman Academy podcast, I also wanted to squeeze out as much inspirational and motivational wisdom from the half hour as possible. I think I struck a nice balance, and that the episode is going to provide value no matter which angle you enjoy it from, but as always, I’d love to hear our feedback.

Thanks, I learned a lot of interesting things in past episodes.
loved th heart and the depth of the conversation. The way that Dr. Metivier shared from his enormous experience and insights was just amazing. Thank you Jonathan for doing this podcast!! 🙂
Great interview with Dr. Greg Wells! He mentioned a doctor from Colorado around the 42:30 point of the podcast, discussing turmeric and black pepper. I couldn’t make out the doctor’s name. Can you provide me with his full name and maybe his website or contact info. Interested in his products.
Thanks,
Rob
I am new here, and learning really fast.
Thank you.
Maybe oarts of the things he has to share are right, maybe not. If I look at him which impact his nurturing and living style has on himself I see a very old looking man! He is year 1973!! That is not old and he looks definitly much older!! If I would not know his birthyear I would guess that he is in his mid-60ies!! A bit concering for someone who claims his lifestyle is suitable for a long life, isn’t it?
