Underdog Empowerment

Alpha Underdog Empowerment has hit 350 episodes, a huge milestone. Starting the podcast 4 years ago, Zach was broke and clueless, but he was determined. Since then, the brand has grown into something truly incredible. With a successful first live event this year, pulled together in just 45 days, Zach was feeling ambitious. Even though he was maxed out after that event, he decided to host another just 50 days later. The goal was to do a smaller event every 90 days, leading up to the one big yearly event. The second event, the Alpha Dog Pound, took place recently and was a learning experience. Zach decided one big event every year is good. So, with a full 10 months to plan his next big event, Zach is ready to knock it out of the park. He already has one guest speaker confirmed. It’s a big name that he’ll be dropping in the next couple months. However, if you’re looking to network and grow with a group that’s aligned with you and your core values, the Alpha Dog Pound may be a good fit. It’s a group that Zach is

Some people will tell you that SEO is dead, but Adam McChesney is proof that it’s still alive and kicking. Born and raised in St Louis, MO, Adam spent 5 years in medical device sales after getting out of college. With that job he was able to travel the country, make great money, and gain a lot of sales experience. After a promotion that had him making $200k/year, Adam started looking at the people ahead of him. What he found was that they weren’t making much more than him, but were working much longer hours, and were super stressed. He realized that wasn’t the path for him, and he started looking into the next Ebay or Amazon drop shipping. What he found instead was an opportunity in digital real estate, but with digital marketing. He learned how to build websites, rent them out, do paid ads, and ultimately sell them off.    In 2018 he ended up starting an auto glass company. Not knowing the first thing about that industry, he was still securing a top rank on Google just by utilizing SEO. Adam got married at t

If you’re looking to take your marketing to the next level, Joshua Centers is the man to talk to. It took him a while to discover his passion for marketing, but now there’s no turning back. After high school, Josh didn’t know what he wanted to do with his life, except that he wanted to start his own business. He figured if he could make it in the Army as an infantryman, and work on his mindset, he could do anything. After 8 years of service, Josh got out, still not certain what he wanted to do. He got into sales and found himself getting a new job every 6-8 months. Eventually, he came across a webinar about starting a Facebook ads agency. He got excited and remembers rushing home to tell his wife they’d be making $10,000/month within 90 days. It wasn’t quite as easy as Josh expected, and it ended up taking him 2 years to reach that level of success.    Josh was thankful for that 2 year journey, however, because it gave him a chance to build up his resume and find his passion. In addition to his marketing agen

Does better sleep, less anxiety, more focus, more energy, and an all around better quality of life sound good to you? Let’s find out how transdermal magnesium may be able to help you achieve that and more. Kristen Bowen is the owner of Living The Good Life Naturally, where they specialize in magnesium soaks, sprays, and lotions. Unlike traditional oral magnesium, there are no digestion issues, and you absorb much more with the transdermal method. Having a cell saturation of 6.3 or higher is ideal, and within just 30 days using transdermal magnesium you should be at least a 5.    Kristen stumbled upon transdermal magnesium after suffering through the worst health crash of her life. After having her 4th child, Kristen needed to undergo a surgery. For the next 3.5 years following the surgery, Kristen would experience daily seizures, be confined to a wheelchair, need a colonoscopy bag, and a catheter bag. This was all a massive stress on Kristen’s family, and it was her husband that ultimately discovered it was a

Joel Evan is a health and fitness coach that wants to help everyone to get into the best shape of their life and stay there. Growing up, Joel read Muscle & Fitness Magazine, with a focus on having more confidence and getting girls to like him. As he left high school, he didn’t know what he wanted to do with his life, but fell into the trap of feeling like he had to figure it out. He settled on getting into police work. He served in Oakland, CA, which saw a lot of robberies and homicides. He would eventually transfer to San Francisco. It was when Joel’s first son was born that he found himself getting disenfranchised with the work. Things were getting too political, so he started to look into fitness. He began getting different fitness certifications and learning all he could about health from various experts.  Doing fitness coaching on the side, Joel made the leap to full time last October when the police department let him go for refusing to get the Covid vaccine. Having been coaching for a while, Joel f

He was on fire at the recent Alpha Underdog Empowerment event, and today he’s here to fan the flames. Tommy Mello is a leader in the home service industry, but it took him a lot of trial and error to get there. Growing up in Michigan, Tommy learned what hard work looked like from his parents. They didn’t have a lot, but were never short on love. After his parents divorce, Tommy would end up moving to Phoenix to live with his dad in 1999. To make money, Tommy started bussing tables and washing dishes. He tried his hand at landscaping, but being allergic to grass, that didn’t go very well. He ended up finding himself in the garage door business, but realized if he were to take a vacation, the business would collapse. That told Tommy it wasn’t much of a business, just a job.   Tommy went through everything from losing $30,000 to the IRS, being lied to, cheated, and even having arson done to his business. He learned from each mistake though, and now has over 500 employees, and is in 20 states. His next step is to

Growing up in the Bible Belt of West Virginia, Kris Whitehead developed a mindset that he had to be a certain way. It wasn’t until, at the age of 20, he read the book The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck that he began to look at his spiritual growth in a new light. The book goes through the 4 levels of faith, agnosticism, atheism, institutionalism, and mysticism. Kris believes it’s important for people to go through some sort of institutionalism for their faith, but if they stay in that place, they’ll never have a deeper relationship with their higher power. Kris admits that he was stuck in his own head, worried about his looks and how people perceived him.  He wanted to be free of that so badly and was led to a corporate job. But as he looked down the road, he saw his successors working 6-7 days a week with a plastic smile. Kris knew that wasn’t for him, and so he opened up the Yellow Pages and started cold calling people, looking for lawns to mow.  He figured he’d rather make $3/hour working for himself

Zach aims to pull the alpha out of everyone around him, including his children. Zach’s young son, Landon, joins him today to discuss a few life lessons he’s learned as of late. Landon recently faced his fears and got on stage at his dad’s live event, Alpha Underdog Empowerment. He says that while he was scared, he did it anyway, and it felt great. He’s already looking forward to his chance to do it again.    With big dreams of owning his own golf cart, 4-wheeler, dirt bike, or side by side, Landon has been working on saving his money rather than spending it as soon as he gets it. With almost $200 in the bank, Landon’s dad will match his earnings once he reaches $500. One thing is for sure, after a recent golf cart crash, Landon will be operating whatever he decides to purchase with caution.    Having watched his father work hard to get their dream home, Landon hopes to follow in his dad’s footsteps. He’s ready to work hard to make his dreams come true, and aspires to have his own podcast or YouTube channel so

We’re hot off the heels of the Underdog Empowerment event, and today’s guest, Callye Keen, is fired up after attending. One of the topics touched on during the event was building a community, and today we’re taking a deep dive into why that is so important. Partnerships and collaboration are one of Callye’s biggest focuses as the Chief Business Development Officer at K-Form. He’s always asking himself, “Who can I work with? Who can I add value to? Who can I collaborate with to increase impact?” He’s well aware that no billion-dollar company was built alone. It’s no secret to Callye that we can do things together that we couldn’t do alone.   Normally charging a minimum of $50k as a consultant, and $3,500-$5,000/month for coaching, Callye is currently offering his expertise at a heavily discounted price. He’s doing it because he wants to meet people where they are, helping the people that need it the most. By joining his community, you’ll not only learn how to start and scale a business, but he’ll share his sim

Helping others to establish a dominant brand through podcasting is what Podcast Powertrain is all about. One of the many people that make that possible is Alundas Havens.  His tumultuous upbringing caused him to develop grit and a strong work ethic. Despite his tough childhood, Alundas knew from an early age that he was going to make it, even if it was just to prove everyone wrong.    After 4 years in the Marine Corp., Alundas tried his hand at a few things, but really wanted to start a podcast. When there was an opportunity to purchase Zach’s podcasting course for just $47, Alundas dove in. He was deeply motivated by the Underdog Empowerment Movement group, especially by Zach himself. Launching The Winner’s Paradigm podcast, Alundas got on Zach’s radar. Zach was impressed by Alundas’ grit and determination, and he knew he was someone he needed on his team.    What You’ll Learn: How Alundas’ childhood shaped him into who he is today.

Just a month and a half ago, Zach decided he wanted to host an Alpha Underdog Empowerment event.  Most people would plan these events for 6 months to a year in advance, but Zach wasn’t going to wait. Pulling it together in just 45 days, the first annual event brought in over 80 attendees. The key was deciding to go all in, to pull the trigger, jump off the cliff, and grow wings on the way down.  Life threw many curveballs at Zach during those 45 days, but he overcame each one, always keeping his eye on the prize. Now he’s planning for next year's event. With 8x more time for planning, he plans to get 5,000+ underdogs in a room. Being on a larger scale, next year's event will cost more, but if you act now you can get tickets at a heavily discounted price. Head over to www.underdogempowerment.com/aue before this Friday to take advantage of the early bird special. What You’ll Learn: How Zach pulled off a live event 45 days out. How doing inner work has allowed him to enjoy his successes. What the vision for nex

Zach is keeping it short and simple and getting straight to the point. Ego is NOT your enemy. Zach is no stranger to having his back against the wall, and he knows that’s when you need to go all in on yourself. We all have an ego, it’s how we use it that matters.  People will tell you ego is bad, but that’s because they’re letting it get to their head and thinking they’re unstoppable.  When used correctly, our ego is literally designed to protect us. You have to keep it on a tight leash; know when to release it and know when to reel it in.   If you’d like to learn more about how to utilize your ego and build a life that fulfills you, get your tickets to the Alpha Underdog Empowerment event at www.underdogempowerment.com/aue.  What You’ll Learn: How to use your ego to get ahead. How your ego can get you in trouble. What to expect at the upcoming Alpha Underdog Empowerment event.

Larry Hagner didn’t have the easiest childhood. It was plagued by an absent father, an alcoholic mother, and abusive partners. At age 4, Larry thought his mom just hadn’t found his dad yet. What would follow was a stream of toxic men that were physically, mentally, and emotionally abusive.  Discovering his biological dad through chance at the age of 12, Larry’s elation would be short lived.  Deciding it was too much for him at the time, Larry’s dad abandoned him again, sending Larry into a deep depression.  Struggling through high school, things would finally start to change for Larry when he went away to college. Marrying his college sweetheart, Larry vowed to be the father and husband he never knew growing up.  Instead he found himself operating at arm's length, convinced this way he couldn’t mess anything up too bad.  Through chance yet again, Larry ran into his father.  The two rekindled their relationship and Larry realized his father was just like him, just a man that had made mistakes and was trying to

Tim Bratz is known for investing in apartment buildings, owning over 400 currently.  He grew up watching his father run a side business, and did little things himself to make money.  While in college in 03-07, the real estate market was on fire and everyone was making money.  Tim decided to jump in and interned with a big home builder. After graduating he moved to NYC and got his real estate license.  Joining a commercial firm, Tim found himself brokering 400 sq ft spaces for $10,000/month. That’s when he realized he needed to own real estate, not be brokering it. Right as Tim broke off as a real estate investor, the market collapsed in 2008.  While everyone was running away scared, Tim was buying up cheap properties in rough neighborhoods. He ended up connecting with investors that funded his projects and he did this for several years. Then he started acquiring and sitting on properties for 10+ years and found himself sitting on a ton of money.  Tim says there’s more money out there for real estate investing

I’m Andrew Sayles, creator of the NFT play-to-earn game, Ladopoly, and I’m here to share how it works.  Before we dive in though, Zack has a few big announcements.  Two things that have been on his vision board for years are coming true.  He’s about to move into his dream home, but more importantly, he’s about to launch the first-ever Alpha Underdog Empowerment event.  It’s what he originally left networking marketing for, and he feels like it’s what he was created to do. I’m familiar with a big launch as I created Ladopoly.  It’s an NFT version of Monopoly that is endorsed by Hasbro.  Played much like the original Monopoly, players can win crypto.  There is a replica board you can physically play on and plenty of ways to earn passive income.  Today, I’m sharing strategies for how to earn the most from the game.  One big way is to obtain a Dope President, which will get you $21k airdropped. Don’t wait to get involved, the first donor of a board will earn 5% of all future sales of that board. To learn more, vi

The 12 step program isn’t for everyone. It didn’t work for Angie Manson, so she decided to create a better way.  Her drinking and using started at just 11 years old, and Angie found herself in rehab by age 16. Like many others, all she did there was meet more people to party with. Having been arrested 8 times by age 18, Angie found herself facing embezzlement charges and 10 years in prison.  Sentenced to a year in rehab, Angie got into a place run out of a guy’s house who had helped her friend get clean. Working for her keep, Angie learned all positions in the organization. Seeing her progress over a 3 year period, the judge declared Angie a success story.  She proved him right when she went on to open her own rehab center.  One that doesn’t take the traditional 12 step course.  In Angies program you are not powerless over your addiction. It’s about addressing what happened to you, what you did in turn, and then making amends for it. Angie says making amends to yourself is often overlooked but is a vital step

Ben Azadi is the creator of Keto Kamp, a community of people that believe in the healing benefits of the Keto metabolic process.  You’ll notice we didn’t say Keto diet, and that’s because it’s not a diet.  As a metabolic process, ketosis has been around as long as humans have existed.  Ben was only introduced to it in 2008, when he was obese, depressed, and suicidal.  A friend gave him a book called The Slight Edge that talked about how your daily habits compound and manifest in your health and results.  This led Ben down a path of self development which included Keto. He learned that if he dropped his carbs to under 50g/day he would also drop his glucose and insulin levels.  In turn, that forces the body to use stored fat as energy.  In addition, your body starts to produce ketones which get rid of inflammation.  Now if you’re worried about never having carbs again, Ben says you can relax.  Once you’ve experienced ketosis for 8-12 weeks you can bring your carbs back up to 200-300g/day for a couple days a wee

If you missed it, Tim James was just on episode 325, but Zach was so impressed with  him that he’s back again.  Tim is a true master of his craft and the best health expert this podcast has ever seen.  Zach, personally, has seen the quality of his life improve by following Tim’s recommendations.  The most recent product recommendation Tim has made was for grounding pads.  Zach says the first night he used it, he slept like a baby. Tim is full of all the information you wish you didn’t know. From toxins in supplements to performance wear.  Someone somewhere is profiting off of your poor health. The only way to combat this is through independent education. Knowledge is everywhere and it’s up to us to seek it out. Take back your health, don’t blindly follow the masses.  Trust nature, it’s where you come from and how we evolve.  Show Notes: https://underdogempowerment.com/sleep-better-instantly   Get More Involved:  Leave A Review & Subscribe On iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/underdog-emp
