David Wolfe is one of the smartest people I’ve ever met in my entire life. Ask him any question on any subject and your guaranteed to be in for a answer that will keep you glued to your seat. I’m baffled how this guy has the time absorb so much info about life, health and other worldly topics.

But David is mostly known for helping to pioneer the raw food movement. What I love about David so much is that he’s a realist when it comes to other people’s eating habits. He isn’t forceful or condescending to people who do eat meat or garbage but rather just encourages them to make small adjustments that are feasible and likely to be done. David realizes you are still going to drink your coffee and pig out on fast food once in a while. And even though that’s not on his menu or dietary choices, he’s smart enough to recognize it’s probably on yours. So instead of being a food nazi, he creates methods and strategies to help people slowly create changes in their diet and entire lifestyle that will benefit them for a long long time.

Anyhow, this video below has very little to do about food. Instead David interviews me on childlike behavior, living in the now, and taking full responsibility for my life. I hope you enjoy, it’s one of my favorite interviews that I’ve ever done.

Cheers,

Jason

So here is my stand up comedy debut at The Comedy Store in Hollywood California. I had a blast working with so many talented people this week. It truly was an amazing time and I feel super lucky to have met so many exceptional and fun people during the week.

I want to thank all the bootcampers that I spent the week with and especially Kyle Cease and Louie Anderson for being such amazing teachers and friends. They are truly great dudes. Also Kyle’s brother Kevin was pivotal in helping me out. And I can’t forget how valuable it was to be able to work on my set with Bret Ernst and Ruben Paul. Your feedback was incredibly worthy and helped out a ton. Thanks so much.

Hope you enjoy.

I want to follow you on Twitter. Simply follow me at http://www.twitter.com/jasonmoffatt and I’ll follow you back.

For the last couple of years I’ve refused to follow every single person that followed me on Twitter. My reason for it was because I felt it was disingenious and didn’t really display what I was truly interested in.

Many people like to say… “I have 27,000 followers on Twitter” and I say… “No you don’t”.

Just because you scrape the internet or use some Twitter mass following tool to attain more followers doesn’t mean that these people are paying any attention to you at all. It’s a very artificial number and doesn’t accurately reflect how many people really give a rats ass about what you have to say.

On the contrary, I built up a following of 7000 people without playing the reciprocal follow game and it all happened without me doing anything. These people found me on their own, or via their own automated bots. Because I’m in the marketing world, at least 4000 of those people are marketers who could probably care less about what I’m saying, but they are just trying to inflate their numbers to provide a bogus bit of social proof.

Everyone has a different way to use Twitter, and to each their own. I’ve always been fine with being a Twitter Snob and only following the people that I want. However, after hearing Tim Sanders talk about social media and Twitter the other day I decided to ease up on having a elitist attitude towards Twitter and agreed to follow back anyone that follows me.

My reasons for doing so are this…

1. I like to keep my finger on the pulse of new trends and chatter across the web. Following more people allows me to get a better idea of the markets I’m trying to serve and people I may want to connect with personally.

2. Most marketing folks have automated scripts that will unfollow me if I don’t follow them back within a few days. Now I don’t put too much worry into losing followers here and there, but I’m on a bigger mission than just to hock a few products and I’d like my messages to be seen by as many people as possible.

3. With the addition of “Twitter Lists” I can sort and aggregate the people that I truly want to stay in touch with. So the argument that following too many people dilutes the Twitter stream and I can’t see what’s going on falls a bit flat.

4. I want to reward people that follow me and pay attention to my tweets with the courtesy that I’ll attempt to pay attention to theirs. I can’t promise this for everyone, but I’m pretty good at plowing through a ton of info in record time.

Here’s the bad part of following everyone back…

1. I will now get spammed like crazy in my direct messages box. It will essentially render it useless and legitimate messages will get buried and unanswered.

2. Auto direct messages will flood in like crazy. Note to self: Turn off the email updater about direct messages. Please don’t be offended if I don’t answer direct messages. It will just be too much. I’m much better at conversing on my Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/jasonmoffatt

I really hope I don’t regret this decision.

Anyhow, hit me up on Twitter if you haven’t already. My Twitter ID is at http://www.twitter.com/jasonmoffatt

Cheers,

Jason

PS: If you are already following me it may take me a week or so to follow you back. I’m trying to catch up on all the old followers but can’t add them all at once or I’ll risk getting my account suspended for adding too many people at once. If you want to speed up the process, send me a @ reply to @jasonmoffatt by clicking here and I’ll follow you back right away.

I really want to thank Couch Surfing Ori for snapping these and a few other pics, and to Magic Ryan, Big Gay Matt, Rob & Kathi and Espree & Steven for coming out to The Comedy Store last night to see my set. It meant a lot to me that you’d drive all that way to see a 5 minute gig buried in with 27 other comics. Thanks so much, you guys rock!

I’ll post the video of the performance once it is edited.

Day 2 of Stand Up Bootcamp was nuts. The morning started out with Harland Williams showing up. You probably know Harland from such movies as Dumb and Dumber, Something About Mary and Half Baked.

It was evident right away that Harland is a comedic genius. His ability to improvise and adapt to funny things around him are absolutely incredible. In fact, he tends to just wing most of his material instead of writing a structured set when performing stand up. It was very interesting to dig into the mind of Harland and see how he works. What he does is very raw and organic.

Of course what he does is just absurd too. His jokes are absolutely ridiculous at times and I think that is part of why we loved him so much. He was just being himself and not trying to do anything more. I think I resonated more with Harland than anybody so far because I’m such a free spirit as well. Plus we both tend to act like 8 year old kids more often then adults. I could tell Kyle was really inspired by Harland as well and was very appreciative to have him stop by and chat with us.

One memorable thing Harland said while there was… “Don’t bring the show to the people, bring the people to your show”. What he meant by that was you have to truly own what you are doing and believe in your bit. You run the mic, the stage and the crowd. Well, hopefully you run the crowd, if you bring the people to your show. Or who knows, maybe he meant something totally different and I just put those words into his mouth.

Next up was Allan Havey. Allan is a grizzled vet in the world of stand up, rocking the mic for about 30 years. One key thing that he said that made a lot of sense to me was that if you are auditioning for a part, you are auditioning for everyone in the room, not just the casting directors. You never know what is going to happen in 2 to 10 years from now and it’s just possible that the receptionist, a errand boy or even a competing actor may remember your audition at some point later. People move up and down the ladder to success all the time and you never know who the next casting director may be.

I also dug the advice Allan gave about having other shit going on in your life that people can’t take away from you. It’s not healthy to get so involved in comedy or acting that it becomes the only thing in your life that fulfills you. We need more. I totally got this advice big time as I can’t imagine someone trying to take surfing away from me. I need it way too much.

Allan also recommended a few books and movies which aren’t necessarily about comedy but were very helpful in advancing his career. They were… The Road Less Traveled, The Artist’s Way, True and False, Overnight and Every Little Step.

After hearing so much advice from men, it was refreshing to have Carol Leifer take the stage. Carol is a well respected comedian and writer. Her biggest gig is probably being a writer on Seinfeld.

Carol spent some time encouraging the bootcampers to really dig into writing personal stuff about their lives as people are much more engaged. Also you can write with so much more passion and authenticity when you are digging deep within yourself.

I love the title of Carol’s book… “When You Lie About Your Age The Terrorists Win”, mostly because it’s true. So don’t lie about your age. Especially if you are 17 and trying to sleep your way up the ladder.

The day didn’t stop here though. Louie and Kyle have this bootcamp stocked with folks who’ve been at this for a long time.

Tom Wilson joined along as well and told some amazing stories about the legends that frequented the Comedy Store. He worked at the Comedy Store back in the day as a door man. He also said he worked as a “Back Door Man”. I was like… “Tom, your lobbing me softballs with that one man”.

Tom told us a crazy story about being with John Belushi the night he died. He watched John depart from the Comedy Store only to never be seen again. It was pretty intense. RIP Belushi.

Most people will recognize Tom as the guy who played Biff in Back To The Future but he’s got an extensive background in Stand Up as well. His advice was invaluable.

Along with Tom was a gentleman named Jim Hope. It was interesting to hear Jim speak because he spent more time behind the scenes as a writer. I really dug hearing his perspective and how he managed his time in the crazy world of Hollywood television. I have to admit, all his hard work almost made me tired thinking about it. The guy is definitely dedicated to his craft and has put in a ton of time.

I liked it when Jim said to not hold onto ideas and pitches that don’t work. Sometimes you just have to let things go and move on. Also, he gave some great advice about not being too eager to have the big talent scouts see you too early as you may give them a chance to judge you before you are really ready. And once someone doesn’t like you, it’s really hard to turn that around.

I have so much more that I want to say about each comic and the value that they brought to the bootcamp, but I need to get my ass out of bed and back down to the Comedy Store for the next day. Plus I still need to write an act to perform on Sunday.

Speaking of Sunday, if you want to come down to the Comedy Store and see me and a slew of other talented comedians perform let me know. I’ll get you some free tickets to the show.

Peace

I wasn’t going to blog or mention anything about Stand up Bootcamp until I completed the entire experience, but I’m in the mood to write so fuck it. Plus I might as well crack out the stories while they are hot since I’m on this kick to blog every single day lately.

I’m currently in Los Angeles California attending Louie Anderson and Kyle Cease‘s Standup Bootcamp. I thought this event would be a great experience and opportunity to try something new and so far my hunch is correct.

Ever since I was a young kid I’ve always been fascinated with stand up comedy. My first crush as a kid was actually on Rosie O’Donnell back when she used to host Stand Up Spotlight on VH1. She was incredibly hilarious. Lots of people talk trash about her, but screw em. That chick did some serious time on the mic, and as a young kid I dug her.

Anyways, I’ve been following Kyle Cease’s comedy and online shenanigans ever since I met him at a Tony Robbins Date With Destiny seminar a few years ago. I instantly liked the guy and could tell he was a good and genuine soul. His comedy was hilarious too.

So when I saw that he and Louie were throwing a bootcamp in LA for comics I figured it would be a great adventure and I knew I could learn a ton of valuable info from some of the best working comedians in the business. Day 1 didn’t disappoint.

The day started out with Louie and Kyle giving a bit of background about themselves and their motivation for doing Stand Up Bootcamp. It’s obvious to me that this camp was created with a deep passion and desire to help comics that want to get better. There are no promises of fame, stardom or even paying gigs. But it’s clear that these guys care immensely about the people that want to seriously take their comedy to the next level.

The only goal here is to help people leave being a bit better than when they came. Ideally everyone would get a bunch of gigs and their own Comedy Central special, but I think the crowd understands realistic expectations and they are aware this isn’t the easiest business to crack. There are thousands of funny comics in this country that couldn’t put meals on the table on a consistent basis. You have to be beyond just good and funny. There are a lot of variables that need to fall in line to really become successful in this business. A small few may get some lucky breaks, but most of the guys on top are there for a reason. They busted their ass.

To be honest, I’m not sure I’d want to go on the road and do club after club after club. I kind of like just hanging out at the beach and doing my thing with the homies. My intentions and goals for this bootcamp are probably a lot different than many of the attendees. I just want to laugh and make others do the same and help out good people where I can. Whatever happens after that, we’ll see. I’m totally open to whatever the universe has in store for me.

Louie and Kyle really spilled their guts and gave some heart felt words that were very appropriate for the intro day. Most of it was about mastering your inner game and having the confidence to do what was necessary to achieve your goals in this industry. Then they brought out the guest speakers for the day.

Up first was a very impressive man by the name of Tim Sanders. Tim is a master networker, business genius, author and dynamic keynote speaker. One of his better known books is called The Likeability Factor.

Tim gave an inspirational speech about the importance of giving without the expectations of reciprocity. The examples he used were clear indications that if you just do right by the people you are trying to serve, eventually all your hard work will pay off in a dramatic fashion. The things he was saying were so simple, yet so smart. However, in a world of me, me, me, me, me, sometimes the simple and right things to do aren’t so clear and obvious.

One thing Tim said that resonated deeply with me was… “Stop analyzing the usefulness of people. Instead, make people useful and powerful” (I hope I remembered the quote accurately).

That saying packed some serious weight with me. I love taking the responsibility of success off other people and placing it directly onto your own shoulders. It’s much easier for growth when your willing to blame yourself instead of others when shit doesn’t work out.

It was a real joy meeting Tim and within short time I could really tell he was a quality individual.

Up next was a man named Shore Slocumb. Shore provided some incredible motivation for the group and took us through a variety of exercises that proved our bodies can often do more than what our minds think they are limited to. His name instantly rang a bell in my head and I realized that I had met his wife a few years ago at a Tony Robbins event. She is a super rad lady, so it only made sense that he was going to be a champion as well. Shore lived up to the expectations. He rocked the mic.

It was awesome to talk to Shore because he’s the kind of guy that has a ton of passion for life and helping people. Listening to his stories about how he came up from being an electronic salesman to a motivational guru was very inspiring. Shore is the kind of guy that goes way above and beyond of what is expected of him to ensure others get the change they so desperate need. He’s truly a man with a big heart and I was super glad to have the chance to meet up with him.

It just so happens that Shore and I share a bunch of the same friends, so I’m sure I’ll see him again at some point in my travels.

Last, but definitely not least Ralphie May came up and crushed the mic. He gave a raw and unedited speech about the real expectations of the comedy world. There was no holding back here at all. His stories weren’t fuzzy layered feel good stuff that was intended to make the comics all giddy. He truly spilled his guts that was insanely insightful.

Ralphie didn’t have to do a gig like this. He wasn’t being paid. It was done out of the kindness of his heart and to help a few friends out. I think we were all so lucky we had a chance to see Ralphie on day one. It was a stark contrast from the feel good rah rah stuff that Tim and Shore delivered, but he’s a comic, not a personal development guy.

And holy shit is Ralphie funny. I mean this guy is beyond hilarious. Massively inappropriate too. The insight he gave about crowd control and working the mic was so valuable. You can tell he’d poured his blood, sweat and tears into this craft and he was damn serious about it.

His talk was more like a verbal beatdown for comics and I think it was just what we needed to hear. Nothing was held back and we really got to see the real Ralphie totally exposed. It was a gem and I felt very lucky to be able in attendance.

Here’s a clip of Ralphie below. You may remember him from being the runner up on Last Comic Standing quite a few years ago. The dude totally should of won, but hey, 2nd place ain’t bad. And if you compare his career against the guy who did win, I think we’d all say that Ralphie still won. Thanks for being you Ralphie.

In the world of online marketing I can usually tell you within 3 to 5 minutes whether or not somebody is going to be in the winners circle when it comes to cash flow. I can spot it a mile away.

Those who succeed time and time again share many of the same characteristics, stories, experiences and mentors. It becomes blatantly obvious who really gets it, and who’s struggling to stay afloat in this dog eat dog world of internet marketing.

Sadly, the massive majority of people will never make their dreams of building a home business on the computer true. Not everyone can make this work. In fact, more than 90% of people will not be able to build a substantial income from the internet. Maybe more.

But what about those guys and gals that continually succeed, over and over again, even though their talent is far from stellar? How do they get so lucky? Why are they so different? What’s the missing ingredient that they possess that others are missing out on?

One thing that I’ve consistently witnessed is that those residing in the winners circle of IM almost always have something in common. They all seemed to have learned from Dan Kennedy. In fact, just to prove my point, here’s a short video clip of myself and a few marketing big guns like Joe Polish, Frank Kern, Yanik Silver, Stephen Pierce, Jeff Johnson and more expressing the exact fact I just stated…

Without a shadow of a doubt, there is a direct correlation with success and learning from Dan Kennedy. I’m convinced. I know of no one who’s consumed his materials and has not come out smarter for doing so.

Today I’d like to share a free resource with you from Dan. It’s 35-Minutes of Powerful Excerpts From the Full 9-Hour Alumni Mastermind Meeting BONUS That They’ll Ship To You For FREE!

All you have to do is enter your details here.

However, that is just the tip of the iceberg. I’ve gotten set up with a stunning deal on a product called… “Dan Kennedy’s Lifetime Of Secrets”.

Here’s what we’ve cooked up for you… How does THIS sound? …

A free copy of Dan Kennedy’s $685 course INFO RICHES.

A free copy of “Info Millions”, a case study of how one couple went from $300 and a kitchen table to $117 million dollar company!

AND a **very priviledged** Resale Rights License to a $497 product (the license sells for $1497)… also for free!

The catch?

It’s only for the first 20 people in this private deal I negotiated for you.

Listen, right now I’m looking through the pile of orders that came through yesterday for this package and once again it’s the same story. It appears that the clear winners in the marketing world are gobbling up this package because they truly know it’s worth.

For instance, Zach Even Esh sent me this text right after I emailed out this offer yesterday.

And within minutes he was scooping it up for himself to apply in his business. I’ve always liked Zach because when he sees something he wants, he goes after it. And it reflects in his business big time.

He’s a hustler, and he’s one of those guys that you know is going to be successful because of how much passion and drive he has for his business.

Just to make this a no brainer for you, I’d like to add on a hefty bonus!

If you take action on this program of “Life Time Of Secrets” (which I really think would be wise for you), I’m going to throw in a killer bonus package of ALL MY STUFF!

Yes, all my stuff.

Because I want you to succeed and flourish online, I’ve decided this was the right thing today.

Get access to “The Life Time Of Secrets” and send me your receipt and I’ll grant you access into my members area that has everything I’ve ever done. I’d make a list for you, but the amount of material I have in my membership site is staggering. In fact, the biggest and most frequent complaint I’ve ever gotten about my materials is… “Jason, there is too much stuff”.

I’ll take that complaint as a compliment

Plus, I’ll throw in a couple other goodies as a surprise.

I was just fumbling around in my iPhoto and found this clip of Randy and I riding the New York New York roller coaster in Las Vegas Nevada.

So, I figured I’d slap the thing up on YouTube and publish away. Get this… similar videos like this on You Tube have over a million views and they are not much different than this simple video. I wonder what makes them get so many views?

Crazy!

Well, enjoy riding the coaster vicariously through my Kodak zI8 cam

During my first road trip with the Road Bandit we made a pit stop in Austin Texas so I could speak at the AIMEN event. Normally, I turn down 99% of speaking requests but for some reason I couldn’t say no to David Gonzalez. He’s way too nice and always bends over backwards to help others out. His true passion in life is to connect people together and he’s always been exceptionally helpful to me every time I’ve been in his presence.

The presentation was filmed in HD but I had to reduce the quality quite a bit because the file sizes are ridiculously huge. Enjoy…

DISCLAIMER: David and Michael started feeding me beer and whiskey at 3 pm on this day. I was pretty tanked by the time I got to SIX, the bar where the event takes place. Combine that with the fact I had also been popping Vicodin all day(Doctor prescribed. Don’t do drugs kids) and I was quite loopy.

I believe that most people honestly want to do the right things in life. It’s rare that someone really wants to create havoc and destruction upon our world. We all want to be on the winning team and feel good about the choices we make and the impact we have on others around us.

Recently, I’ve been working with a company called “Going Green Today“.  They provide a tremendous website on how people can make simple and easy adjustments in their life to help others and the environment around them, all while saving themselves a lot of their hard earned money.

Being a realist, I know that many people don’t have the time and proper information to even know where to start when going green in their life.

They think it’s hard and expensive. The truth is actually quite the opposite. So, I sat down and asked the owner Scott Ankeny to elaborate on how people can really make a difference in the world without sacrificing a ton of time and money. Here was his answers to my straight forward questions…

1. Jason: Many people I know want to do what they can to help the environment and do their part, but they don’t want to spend a lot of money or exert any more time and effort since their time is already limited. What do these busy people do to go green?

Scott: This program is actually designed for busy people….some years back I was writing a column titled “Walking Lightly”. I received tons of fan mail from working mothers, single parents, fathers with 3 kids and 2 jobs, busy professionals with outrageous mortgages, who all wanted to be more eco conscious but were so busy ,staying afloat that they were stressed by the idea of trying to fit “green” into their lives.

When I wrote I kept to the facts, I only wrote about actions that would make a substantial impact on the environment, save immediate money from our costs of living and could be done quickly and simply…this is the foundation that I built Going Green Today on top of.

So…your answer is yes and no….this shift we have to make requires some extra attention and effort The good news is alot of what we will ask you to do together is about creating systems upfront (many actions will take less then 30 minutes) so that being green into the future, will take ZERO extra effort.

And in fact, some of the things we ask you to do, will take no extra time….many of these tasks have you doing the same stuff you are already doing, just going about it a little differently

2. Jason: Let’s face it, people are very conscious of their budget right now and many are pinching pennies with the current economic climate. How cost efficient is Going Green in someone’s life?

No…, if you desire you will spend $0 extra dollars Going Green Today. As you answer the assessment questions, we will be looking at 4 areas of spending. The areas and actions that you can do for no $, then we will look for areas that you are already spending money on (such
as grocery shopping) we call this “no extra cost”- I am sure you can save quite alot of money from this area of reducing your current cost of living., the other 2 areas are the ones you can spend money on, if you choose, anything we recommend we will give you the pro’s and con’s on a financial aspect.

We break spending actions into 2 areas, small purchases and big purchases. Small purchases are between $5 and $50, such as caulk to seal up air leaks, an early closure flap for your toilet, a water filter, a more efficient shower head…etc.

But we will show you how much you will save for each action…so if you don’t see the benefit, move on to the next action.

The same thing holds for the bigger Purchases, you could spend few hundred on a new more efficient appliance but will save 2 or 3 x’s that amount over a few years…these are really for homeowners and those who want to do long terms investments such as solar power water heaters or roof panels and get tens of thousands in savings over 20 years.

3. Jason:  Is it a hassle & labor intensive to Go Green?

Scott: To me, this is sort of a trick question and one that makes me smile. We are all so stuck in our ways that the idea of creating a new habit can bring up fear.

Look, this HAS to happen, we have to learn how to be lighter on the Earth…period…even if you don’t believe in Climate Change, just the shear environmental impact of our cultural way of doing things can be devastating for generations to come…just look at the gulf of Mexico…devastating and can be avoided in the future by just doing your part in making some simple changes that while different will not drastically alter your lifestyle.

So, to be more direct to the answer…some days it will be 5 minutes reading an article so that you are informed., other days 10 minutes cleaning your fridge coils and on the biggest days, an hour or two, at most on the higher level Green tasks( these are rare).

But truly, this is not forever and with our program and the green road map we personalize for you, there will be a start and a finishing end point This is why we do this for 90 days,
We can spread it all out and making it less intensive on a daily basis…working smarter not harder so that once you’re done, you’re done.

You will have done all the really big and effective greening you will need to do. That is the true beauty of Going Green Today, the structured start and finish, designed to hit the goals you choose so that doing you part is simple and can be accomplished in a short amount of time.

Let me leave you with this:

Choose one of the two options….

If you could do something in your life that took 10 minutes, saving you $50 from your cost of living and reduced your footprint by 400 pounds of co2.

Or

Do something in your life that took 30 minutes, left things about the same, saved you $15 from your cost of living and barely impacted your Carbon Footprint…

Which one would you choose?

Right, easy answer….well, this is what we do for you, we have you answer a series of super quick questions, we analyze hundreds of green actions and projects you could do. Then we create a personalized green “road map” so that you will have the whole greening process laid out for you, saving you time, money and much effort.
