I own and operate the consulting firm NextAct Advisors. I have a really simple mission. 00:44 I want to assist entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs in building scalable, well-governed, and resilient businesses. The Founders Sandbox, which you're visiting today, is an additional channel to feature founders, business owners, corporate directors, and professional service providers who, like me, want to use the power of private enterprises, be they... 01:13 small, medium, or large to create change for a better world. Through storytelling with a guest on topics that will include resilience for purpose-driven enterprises and sustainable growth, my goal is to provide a really fun sandbox environment where we can equip one startup founder at a time to build a better world through great corporate governance. 01:42 Today, my guest is Brian McNeha, who has an alias of the head honcho of Expert Dojo. And I want to thank you for joining me today. My pleasure. Can't think of anywhere I'd rather be than hanging out with my buddy, Brenda. You know, we did some practice for this. I've known for you for about seven years now. Because I'm so passionate about sustainable growth and I've seen the work you've done. 02:09 with a couple of my clients that have gone through the Expert Dojo Accelerator Program. I think the topic that we're going to kind of kick around here in the sandbox is bold growth in the founder's journey. I've observed the Expert Dojo, and particularly Brian, at the Santa Monica-based Accelerator Program that is now celebrating its seventh anniversary. Congratulations, Brian. Did you ever think you'd make seven years? 02:39 Gosh, I didn't even know. Listen, you know me. What were the chances, right? What were the chances? Never good, but we're here. We're still alive. We're still going. Yeah. So in addition to my brief introduction, let me tell you a little bit about Expert Dojo. So Brian within Expert Dojo specializes unlike other accelerators in not only a four-week 03:09 become more successful in their business by using all the tools available as owner of the largest peer-to-peer peak performance academy in the world. Expert Dojo improves the success rate of early stage entrepreneurs with investment foundation showcasing, influencing, and community building. It truly is quite unique. And we're not going to... 03:38 um, hide that I've known you at first. I met you about the time you were founding expert dojo seven years ago. I was then in the angel community. I was more in orange County and you would often be a panelist Brian. And there was this undeniable Irish accent. So my last name, the cave is that all right. I like Irishman, but also your son Liam was always in tow. And I thought. 04:08 your insights as well in the panel panels in which you participated were very unconventional to what I had been exposed to. And I, um, I still think so today and wanted you to be a guest on the founder sandbox because of your unconventional approach to helping entrepreneurs in their bold 04:37 broader audience. So I want you to kick off with where did it all begin Brian seven years ago. Oh my gosh, you're asking an Irish man to tell a story. How long is your podcast? I think we need some extra time. We can always we can go forever and then I'll have cut it out. All right. Yeah, you can cut me down. That's fine. So so look, I'm a lover of life. 05:04 I just love life. Life is great and the world is great and there's so many fabulous places to go and live. And I've been really fortunate in that I have made sure that I did as much of that as I possibly could and spent many, many years traveling around with different businesses just enjoying the world. Right. And so my conclusion is everybody's awesome. We all pretty much have the same wants and needs and desires. And if we really search for good things, then amazing things can happen. 05:33 while most people never really go on that journey. And that's what's so nice about early stage startup. They go on that journey, like they grab that journey by the short and curlies and they just stay with it all the way through. So it's incredibly brave and it's a beautiful thing to watch. And if you're really lucky, you get to be like the Linda McCartney, right? You get to be around while the Rolling Stones are there and you gotta be around while you've got the Beatles and you got the whole thing and you get a…
