044: John Hall on Building Influence and Becoming #1 in Your Industry

The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth

Have you ever wondered how industry influencers and thought leaders become known in their space? I’ll tell you one thing, it doesn’t happen by accident!

Maybe you can even think of someone who you’ve never heard of before, and then all of a sudden their name is popping up everywhere; in major publications, all over social media, on all the big podcasts, and in every book store. Their content seems to be everywhere!

So, how did they do it?

Today’s guest, John Hall, is someone who knows exactly how it’s done. John was a millionaire by the time he finished college, and has been strategically investing and building businesses ever since.

He’s a serial entrepreneur, real estate developer, author, advisor, speaker, connector, and co-founder of Calendar.com — a leading scheduling app that he believes will change how people manage and invest their time.

He’s listed as “#1 must-see keynote speaker” by Forbes, “One of the most powerful people in media you’ve never met” by Inc., was a recipient of the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Best Emerging Company, and was recognized as one of the Business Journals’ Top 100 Visionaries.

John has contributed to more than 50 online publications, including Inc., Harvard Business Review, Fortune, Fast Company, and Mashable.

He’s also the author of, Top of Mind: Use Content to Unleash Your Influence and Engage Those Who Matter To You — a game-changing framework for anyone seeking to build influence and lead their industry.

In today’s conversation, John shares a ton of insights from his various entrepreneurial ventures. We discuss his latest business (Calendar.com), his uncommon leadership style, the power of strategic alliances, and his approach to helping companies build relevance and become #1 in their industry.

You’ll also hear all about his unique real estate development that’s now generating $40K in monthly cash-flow, and how he negotiated favorable terms and used income amplifiers to sweeten the deal.
