Welcome to this special episode of our podcast, featuring the legendary Jay Abraham – often dubbed as the $21.7 billion man and the highest paid marketing consultant.
Today, we're revisiting an insightful episode from April 2020, a time of global uncertainty and panic due to the emergence of the pandemic. With shutdowns and business restrictions starting worldwide, we all felt lost and overwhelmed.
I took the liberty to revamp this episode, removing outdated parts and enhancing the content to match our current reality. As I re-listened, I found myself fervently taking notes, impressed by Jay's expertise in strategic and nonlinear thinking, alliances, partnerships, and his aptitude to identify opportunities amidst adversity.
The second notable highlight I wanted to share is Jay's recent collaboration with the renowned Roland Frasier, a podcast favorite, seasoned investor, and business strategist boasting over 1000 acquisitions. Together, they've penned ‘Business Wealth Without Risk', with the foreword by none other than Tony Robbins.
Very timely (like in 2020), they have a free live event on September 23rd called “Business Wealth Without Risk”. If you're quick, you might grab a spot, but if not, you'll definitely want first dibs on their book.

“If you have not just critical thinking, but consequential thinking and you understand probability and outcomes, then it’s not as daunting as you think. There’s only a finite number of scenarios that will probably happen” – Jay Abraham
