## In brief

Jennifer Cohen argues that success mostly comes from asking more often than other people do, and from being likable enough that people say yes. Her proof is a long run of high-profile podcast guests, including Jack Dorsey, Matthew McConaughey and Mark Cuban, reached through relationships, persistence and a willingness to hear hundreds of no's.

The tension is between front-end influence and back-end infrastructure. Jennifer has built a huge network, but she admits her systems are piecemeal. Host Sean Callagy, who is also pitching a partnership, argues that her relationships need a system and people who can close deals. The session blends a masterclass on boldness with a live business courtship.


## Key insights

1. **Asking is the skill most people skip** Jennifer says her Keanu Reeves demo tape taught her the answer is always no if you never ask. She finished only first runner-up for the MuchMusic job, yet says the habit of asking changed her life.
2. **Likability comes before boldness** Jennifer says bold requests land better when people like you, and she names empathy, authenticity and enthusiasm as the core traits. She treats these as practicable soft skills rather than inborn talent.
3. **Best guests beat biggest names** Jennifer found some huge names gave bland soundbites and did nothing for her show. Lesser-known guests who gave real, specific insight produced stronger episodes and more lasting growth.
4. **Good guest experiences generate referrals** Jennifer says guests like Matthew McConaughey told their publicists and spouses about a good conversation. That led to repeat appearances and new guests, so her booking grew through relationships rather than a formal strategy.
5. **Back-end systems limit relationship-based businesses** Sean argues that Jennifer does every role in a deal herself, which caps how far her relationships can scale. Jennifer agrees that missing infrastructure is her pain point, though Sean is also pitching his own team and AI tools.

## Questions this episode answers

### How did Jennifer Cohen get big guests when she had no audience?

She says she went through her personal network, asked many people, and often led with help rather than a request. She also says she had far more no's than yeses, and that the first guests then led her to others.

### What is the Keanu Reeves story about?

At 17 or 18, Jennifer waited outside a Winnipeg theater in extreme cold and asked Keanu Reeves to help with her MuchMusic VJ audition tape. He called her back and she made the tape, but she only finished first runner-up.

### What does Jennifer say makes someone likable?

She names three traits: empathy (making people feel seen and heard), authenticity, and enthusiasm. She says anyone can practice these, so likability is a skill rather than a talent.

### What is an ecosystem merger in Sean Callagy's language?

Sean uses the term for a partnership that combines identity, relationships, money and skills. He asks Jennifer to call her proposed collaboration an ecosystem merger, which he says means more than ordinary collaboration.

### What business deal is Jennifer weighing?

Jennifer says a big network has asked her to build her own podcast imprint, like a record label with podcasters under her. She has been hesitant for about three months and plans to discuss it, and a possible partnership with Sean's group, after the event.

## Transcript

**[0:00:00] Speaker 8:** The answer is always no if you never ask most people know that almost nobody lives it. Jennifer Cohen has lived it for thirty years in forty below weather in rooms she had no business being in in front of people who'd said no a thousand times. She understood what most people never figure out. You don't get what you don't ask for.

**[0:00:23] Jennifer Cohen:** I got a a master's degree in failing, but I got a phd in getting right back up and I did that over and over again. A lot of people said no to me. I like asked Oprah Winfrey to be on my podcast. She said no. It's the audacity. Just because two big people said no, I'm I'm betting on the third person to say yes.

**[0:00:42] Sean Callagy:** What you're hearing is they just liked Jennifer and she didn't even have a big audience yet.

**[0:00:48] Jennifer Cohen:** My first interview that was an extraordinarily big one because I was so amateur at that time. The person that was doing the sound of that podcast screwed it up and I couldn't even use it.

**[0:01:03] Sean Callagy:** And who was that one?

**[0:01:04] Jennifer Cohen:** That was the Jack Dorsey one.

**[0:01:06] Sean Callagy:** You wanna scale your impact so it is actualized as much as you possibly can to do good, And to do good in the world.

**[0:01:14] Jennifer Cohen:** I wanna compound it, I wanna be a force Well, you know this, like

**[0:01:17] Sean Callagy:** like the name, this is the compound influence immersion. That is literally what this is.

**[0:01:21] Jennifer Cohen:** is it really?

**[0:01:23] Speaker 8:** And now we welcome to the stage the woman who has made a career out of asking the questions most people are too afraid to ask. Jennifer Cohen.

**[0:01:35] Sean Callagy:** let's bring Jennifer up to the stage. No, Jennifer Cohen is in the building. Let's go.

**[0:01:47] Jennifer Cohen:** Do I go over here? How are you? Thank you.

**[0:01:50] Sean Callagy:** And and she actually stayed through all of your insanity and mine. That was very impressive, please.

**[0:01:57] Jennifer Cohen:** Oh, I love that. That's a great video. Could I borrow that? That's a g- that's such a, that's such a motivator.

**[0:02:03] Sean Callagy:** isn't it? It does an incredible Yes, I job, incredible job.

**[0:02:05] Jennifer Cohen:** loved it.

**[0:02:06] Sean Callagy:** So, uh, was that exactly what you're expecting to be brought up to?

**[0:02:10] Jennifer Cohen:** No, not at all, but I like it. I mean, it's a great. It's a great intro. I love it. That was very, very, uh, entertaining, if nothing else.

**[0:02:18] Sean Callagy:** Yes, that is, uh, fun. So what were you thinking, honestly? Just like, as I I that was

**[0:02:22] Jennifer Cohen:** was I was. I was just kind of, like, shocked. I wasn't expecting that enthusiasm and that energy. And, uh, I love it. I think everything's a enthusiasm is a big piece of what I talk about. I think that's how you were talking earlier about, um, how I get a lot of this stuff done. And a lot of a big component that I talk about and that I really believe in is being positive and being enthusiastic. It's infectious, so that was very infectious.

**[0:02:49] Jennifer Cohen:** And so I thank you very much. I'm gonna come back again and again if I can.

**[0:02:54] Sean Callagy:** thank you, of course, thank you. Yeah, so yeah, let's go. So so I'm so excited, cause I don't know some of these answers, uh, but I know there are answers. How? And here's the the question we're gonna get into, like, please, if we can, some real micro-micro stuff from the beginning. So how did you do it? How did you begin to have, uh, people with amazing identity coming onto your podcast? Like, if you could take us through that journey in really granular detail, do you guys wanna know that?

**[0:03:30] Sean Callagy:** They wanna know that? So, and then we'll get to know all kinds of amazing things about you, but if we could start there, it would be amazing.

**[0:03:36] Jennifer Cohen:** Yeah, well, first of all, can I take it back? Before the podcast, Yeah, do the podcast you want anything is j-

**[0:03:40] Sean Callagy:** on? Yeah, please.

**[0:03:40] Jennifer Cohen:** thank you. Well, only because the podcast is just the byproduct of a lot of other things and steps that I've done. Um, and that's just one piece of the pie. And so I think the bigger question is like, how do I? You know, you were saying earlier, how do I get this guest on the show? Or how do I get that person to do something? When I'm technically a nobody in in the in the grand scheme of things?

**[0:04:04] Jennifer Cohen:** Um, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna take it back to the beginning, which is the first thing, which is very easy, which is guess what, Sean, I asked. I asked.

**[0:04:16] Sean Callagy:** Let's hear for that. You know, Let's hear for I think you that.

**[0:04:18] Jennifer Cohen:** know, like, at at the end of the day, I think a lot of people, the stop is in the start. They don't even make the attempt, they don't even ask the question. So what? My entire premise and my entire philosophy and my whole, uh, my whole platform is really teaching people and giving people the courage to actually get off the sidelines and do something that they would otherwise not feel comfortable doing. And so that's what that that's literally and like the I've taught myself that, and now my my job in life, my, oh my, is.

**[0:04:56] Jennifer Cohen:** It's a kind of give that, give people the permission and the self-belief to do so. So that's what I wanna start by saying. That's an amazing So start. If you see it's

**[0:05:06] Sean Callagy:** that as an amazing place to begin, and you see value inside of that for you, please give us a yes.

**[0:05:14] Jennifer Cohen:** because I really do believe Sean that I don't think anyone's any better than anybody else. I'm not, I'm not gifted in any way more so than you in the front row, or you in the fourth row. It's just a question of me just making that attempt, not just making one attempt, but making more than one attempt. So let me go back a little bit. Um I. So. M uh, really. Now I did ask, and I guess that will also start by me.

**[0:05:44] Jennifer Cohen:** That would also kind of go parallel with the idea of being bold. So if I don't know if anybody here follows me on Instagram or socials, or here's my podcast. But really, like I, I, I did this. I did this whole book called Bigger, Better, Bolder and a Ted talk on this idea of being bold. And what I I talked about was when I was a little girl. I'm gonna tell you a story, if that's OK, Please, okay?

**[0:06:11] Jennifer Cohen:** When I was really young, I was like seventeen years old, eighteen years old, and I really wanted to be a VJ for, uh, much music, right? Much music is like the equivalent of, like, MTV for Americans. I'm Canadian, and I knew it was they were having this like worldwide search for, uh, the next VJ video disc jockey, and it was very competitive. And so I realized that, oh, my gosh, there's gonna be such, there's gonna be such competition to get this, this role.

**[0:06:41] Jennifer Cohen:** What am I gonna do to stand out? Like, I need to do something like they were. Everyone had to send in their audition tape or their demo tape. So I'm like, okay, well, I'm just gonna have to be extraordinary on this demo tape. And at the time, uh, we were talking about point break earlier. Uh, Keanu Reeves was coming to my hometown, and Keanu Reeves at the time was like the biggest star on the planet. That, by the way, he still is, actually.

**[0:07:07] Jennifer Cohen:** But at the time he was like, he just finished speed, he was really, really, really popular. And for whatever reason, he wanted to be in my hometown, which is Winnipeg, Manitoba, in Canada. Uh, to do Hamlet for Shakespeare, I don't know why, but he did. And it was like the biggest thing in the world, like all the media outlets. And I don't wanna date myself, but it was like when when TV and gossip rags were the big thing and there was no such thing as social media back then.

**[0:07:34] Jennifer Cohen:** And I said to myself and I said to my mom, my family and my friends, you know what, I'm gonna get Keanu Reeves to be on my demo tape, and that's how I'm gonna get looked at, and that is how I'm gonna get this, this my dream job. And everyone, of course, laughed at me. They're like, Well, why would? As if you're gonna do that? And I was like, it didn't even occur to me that that wasn't a possibility.

**[0:07:56] Jennifer Cohen:** Like, I was so audacious, it didn't even I didn't even think that that would be something that wouldn't happen. And so, and by the way, Winnipeg is very cold. It's like minus forty and in the winter, plus the wind chill. And, uh, I, I planned on going there one of the nights that he was performing. Uh, I try to get some of my friends to come with me and everyone said no except one girl. One girl came with me and it was so cold that she left.

**[0:08:22] Jennifer Cohen:** And I sat outside for forty-five minutes. I had frostbite on my hands and my my my toes. And finally, Keanu Reeves comes out of the theater center. And while I should tell you, there was thousands of people waiting for him, every media outlet, all the things, and I just ran in. And, um, I basically, with with everybody else, I was, I. I saw him, I tugged on his jacket, he ignored me, I tugged on his jacket again, he ignored me.

**[0:08:48] Jennifer Cohen:** And finally, he turned to me and said, Uh, I'm sorry, I'll, I'll, I'll. I'll give you an autograph, but you have to wait. And I said, an autograph? I don't want an autograph. I, what was that? What is that gonna do for me? I I really just actually want you to help me get my dream job. Can you know? And I was talking really quickly and he was kind of confused and and I kept on saying the same thing.

**[0:09:12] Jennifer Cohen:** I was like the seventeen-year-old girl, I kept on saying it over and over again. Finally, he's like, write down your phone number, I will call you. And I'm arguing with him, like, what do you mean you're gonna call me? You're not gonna call? I'm gonna sit by the phone, da da. He's like, trust me, I'll call. So I didn't have a pen and paper, so a girl gave me a, um, a gum wrapper and a and a lip liner, and I and I put my phone number on this gum wrapper and I handed it to him and left.

**[0:09:39] Jennifer Cohen:** And the next day I go to school and I told my friends and blah, blah, blah, and everyone laughed at me, and of course, no phone call from Keanu. And then the second day happened again and everyone was like, Hey, did Keanu call you? And I was like, No, and they're all laughing at me again. And by the third day, the same thing happened, and on the fourth day I go home and my mom says to me, you should check your answering machine, because at the time you have an answering machine.

**[0:10:04] Jennifer Cohen:** And I checked the answering machine, and lo and behold, guess who was on my answering machine? Keanu Reeves talking to my mother, cause, you know, at the time when you had an answering machine, if you answer it this at that time and someone else picks up the phone, you're talking on the machine. When my mother started asking him who he was, and she was like, what, who's this person calling my daughter? She hangs up on him.

**[0:10:27] Jennifer Cohen:** And it was like horribly, and like, I hear hello, hello, hello, and then he hangs up, and then he calls back again, and you won't believe this, but it happened again. So on the third chant, he called me three times, and the third time he said, hi, this is Keanu Reeves. I'm calling for Jennifer. You were talking to me about something about a job and a di- and an audition. Here's my phone number and call me cut two, called him back, and three days later, I picked him up in my mom's cutless supreme.

**[0:10:59] Jennifer Cohen:** Came back to my house. I had my friends in my house with all the different camcorders all around the house. And I created my this dem- like this demo tape with Keanu Reeves, where I edited it myself and sent it into much music. And do you think I got the job, Sean? I th- I What do you think?

**[0:11:18] Sean Callagy:** would, I would think you did

**[0:11:20] Jennifer Cohen:** You thought, do you do you guys think I got the job? Actually, I did not get the job, but I was, I was f- I was, uh, I got, um, first runner-up. But me not getting the job wasn't that wasn't really what it. It was very hurtful and I was upset, but it actually was an extremely pivotal moment in my life. Because what it taught me was that a you don't ask, you don't get, and b, you know what?

**[0:11:47] Jennifer Cohen:** Being bold is way more important than any other s single skill for being successful, right? Because if you put yourself in that environment, you never know like the the wor- the. The answers always no if you don't ask the question. And so in that moment, that that was, that was such a pivotal moment that it shifted and changed the way I was gonna basically live my life from that moment on. So the outcome wasn't important, the, uh, the process, eh, showed me something much more important.

**[0:12:20] Sean Callagy:** can I? Can we do something real quick? Yeah, so I'm gonna ask everybody get to your feet, Do I get to please.

**[0:12:25] Jennifer Cohen:** my feet too?

**[0:12:26] Sean Callagy:** No, that's okay, no, please, please don't, actually. So get your feet. And for you first, for you first, for Jennifer second. I'm asking you, I thought not yet till I say go to give Jennifer a standing ovation and the sound not yet of what this means for you, because how much you're not doing that? If you're not doing that, say yes, to lock this into your nervous system, and yes, to acknowledge a warrior and a master.

**[0:13:06] Sean Callagy:** I had no idea that that story is so much more masterful and inspiring than anything I thought we were gonna hear. I thought we were gonna hear something great. That is one of the greatest stories I've ever heard in my life about the audacity to move something forward in the world. So can we please give this amazing woman a thunderous round of applause?

**[0:13:31] Jennifer Cohen:** oh wow, thank you, Sean, thank you,

**[0:13:40] Sean Callagy:** that is amazing.

**[0:13:41] Jennifer Cohen:** thank you, sweetie. Thank you. You know,

**[0:13:43] Sean Callagy:** So what happens next?

**[0:13:44] Jennifer Cohen:** so what happened next was I, I, I live, you know, like, listen, like I. I live by a very a lot, like a few mottos in life. I said a couple of them, you know, like, you know, what's the worst that can happen is a big one, right? And if it can happen to someone else, why not? why not you? So whenever I am scared of doing something, or I think I'm gonna fail, or I have a lot of self-doubt and limiting beliefs, I think to myself, well, why not me?

**[0:14:11] Jennifer Cohen:** If it can happen to someone else, it can happen to me too. And I live my life by these, these, these philosophies that really propel and move me forward. Because at the end of the day, we are our our own worst enemies. We talk, we can talk ourselves in or out of anything and everything, and so there's enough rejection out there, so why self-reject? So I right, so

**[0:14:38] Sean Callagy:** Is this a yes-causer? Is this a yes-causer? Are you watching everything we teach happen right before your very eyes? Thank you, back to you. oh, really, okay, good, I'll explain what that means in a little bit.

**[0:14:50] Jennifer Cohen:** okay, good. Well, I, but. But I think it's true. And now to get back to the podcast. And I, and this has been validated for me so many times in my life because I do this podcast, like Sean was saying, and I do interview some of the most extraordinarily successful humans, world thought leaders on the planet, entrepreneurs, athletes, the top experts in the world. And I will tell you, people always say to me, what's the through line?

**[0:15:17] Jennifer Cohen:** what's the thing? that? And the truth of the matter is, there, everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time. There's no difference between you and that person, the only difference, and I'm see it, I see it single-handedly, day in, day out. The only difference between someone who has had extraordinary success, both personally and professionally, and someone who hasn't, is their belief in themselves and that the em and the amount of attempts that they've made to make something happen.

**[0:15:49] Jennifer Cohen:** That is the only thing. Nobody's extraordinary, and nobody is ordinary. Peop- it's interchangeable, depending on how you kind of pursue life.

**[0:16:00] Sean Callagy:** Amen, let's hear it for Jennifer. Yeah, amen.

**[0:16:04] Jennifer Cohen:** Yeah, and it's true, and I believe that wholeheartedly.

**[0:16:08] Sean Callagy:** So it, but it got the so got the rule, and it's amazing. Clearly, you're living that rule, those beliefs, that structure, right? Um, but what happened? n- how did you move

**[0:16:23] Jennifer Cohen:** what happens next?

**[0:16:24] Sean Callagy:** into after? You? So you're seventeen, you don't get the position?

**[0:16:26] Jennifer Cohen:** I don't get the job, but I moved to Toronto, which is, and then I kind of just I, I've, I had one. I made one attempt after another like this is. I got really good my whole life at failing. That was like I was like, I got a, you know what, I got, uh, a master's degree in failing, but I got a phd in getting right back up. And I did that over and over again.

**[0:16:48] Sean Callagy:** Yeah, let's hear for that.

**[0:16:50] Jennifer Cohen:** And so that's how I went from one success, then thirty failures, and then another success, and then forty failures, and it went on and on. And I will tell you something, every success I've ever had was because of a human being, not a strategy that I put to place. And so my job was creating deep relationships from al- always. That was always like, the the the. That was, to me, the one, the fundamental, most important thing, because out of those deep relationships, so much other things that were positive happened.

**[0:17:28] Jennifer Cohen:** Like I said, never through a strategy, only through these human beings. Did I ever reach any type of success? Cause it takes a village.

**[0:17:37] Sean Callagy:** Amen. So Jennifer, so before, when did you launch your podcast?

**[0:17:42] Jennifer Cohen:** Um, I would say six years ago, Okay, so yeah,

**[0:17:46] Sean Callagy:** what happened in terms of your your

**[0:17:49] Jennifer Cohen:** how did I do it?

**[0:17:49] Sean Callagy:** your mission before that? Even like, did you? What did you do from before the podcast between seventeen? You don't get the position, like, I, I'll I wasn't.

**[0:17:59] Jennifer Cohen:** give you some history. So I did start a few different companies. I was in the I was one of the things, one of my pivots, cause I became the power of the pivot. Was like, I pivoted and pivoted and pivoted because I just like I failed so much. I tried something different, da da, um, but I, I was, I did, I was in the health and wellness, bus still am for a very, very long time.

**[0:18:19] Jennifer Cohen:** Um, I wrote a bunch of books. My first company was called No Gym Required, and I had, um, a book called No Gym Required. I had a shoe that I got that got acquired later. I had a fitness app that was called Hot Five that Weight Watchers, uh, uh, uh, bought. So I, I created and started a lot of different businesses in the health and fitness space. Um, I had, thankfully, I had two, two exits on those, and then smaller little exits.

**[0:18:46] Jennifer Cohen:** But basically, I was in the, I was in the business of health and fitness, and that was one of the things I did. I wrote, like I said, numerous books. Um, the podcast came because I actually had a TV deal with NBC to do that. That podcast was supposed to be a TV show and it was called Game Changers. And I did a deal with NBC Universal, and it was just we thought we did the deal.

**[0:19:14] Jennifer Cohen:** I was so excited, and yet, like, it was stalled, nothing was happening. Because in the world of entertainment and TV, uh, people, you can do as many de- you can do a deal and then nothing happens. And so I didn't want to ever put my destiny in somebody else's hands. So finally, after a while, because at the end of the day, it's all up to you, right? It's all from within. You can, you can rely on, you know what I mean.

**[0:19:35] Jennifer Cohen:** So I, I didn't want to just wait and wait and wait. So I thought, Hm, maybe I'll just turn this into a podcast instead of. And the idea was to do the same thing, like it was gonna be to interview, um, basically, the cr- it was supposed to be cribs for entrepreneurs. Remember the show cribs where you go into someone's house? I'm gonna so the idea was to do that. But like, you go into an entrepreneur's house, let's say, like, uh, Mark Cuban or whoever.

**[0:20:00] Jennifer Cohen:** Open their fridge, do what they're eating, what are their daily habits, what are? what did they do daily? And it was supposed to be like that, and that's how it was sold. But then it never like, we couldn't agree on who to do the pilot with. I wanted one person, they wanted someone else. So I'm like, okay, fine, you know what, I'm not whatever, I'm gonna s turn this into a podcast. So I had no idea what even a podcast really was.

**[0:20:22] Jennifer Cohen:** I mean, I had, uh, people were doing it. I didn't know the first thing from from it, but I as everything else, I throw a lot of stuff at the wall and hopefully something's gonna stick. And I decided to do a podcast, and I just had relationships in lots of different ways. And I just started, like, asking, calling and asking, calling and asking, emailing, meeting people like us, taking my network. Because the truth of the matter is, everyone has a network, everyone, like everyone's a conduit to somebody else.

**[0:20:57] Jennifer Cohen:** So don't think just because you don't know somebody right this second, that you cannot do something. I bet you someone you know knows someone, they know someone that can help you move your needle, but you have to think in that way. And so that's what I did. I. I used all my good will of what I've done, and I started just b- booking good people and then leveraging. Once you have a couple good people, it's easier to get another good couple so of good people.

**[0:21:25] Sean Callagy:** who was your first ever guest? So funnily On your own?

**[0:21:27] Jennifer Cohen:** enough, my first person ever was Dennis Rodman, Whoa, and he was controversial. So, but h- how he was did you get Dennis so, funnily,

**[0:21:38] Sean Callagy:** Rodman?

**[0:21:38] Jennifer Cohen:** Darren got me, Dennis Rodman. Oh, actually, you know what? I'm sorry. Was it Dennis Rodman? My first guest? Hold on, hold on. No, you know who my first guest was? Actually?

**[0:21:49] Sean Callagy:** Who?

**[0:21:50] Jennifer Cohen:** Uh, Jack Dorsey was my first guest, who created Twitter and how did that and I got

**[0:21:56] Sean Callagy:** start?

**[0:21:56] Jennifer Cohen:** Jack Dorsey because I had a friend from San Francisco, an investor I knew from my one of my businesses who was very close with him. And he's very, he's very difficult to. He's very cagey. He doesn't do podcasts, he doesn't do anything, but I was able to get him and

**[0:22:13] Sean Callagy:** H- how? So you?

**[0:22:14] Jennifer Cohen:** so I call. So I had a relationship with my friend, who then introduced me to his people. He liked what I was doing. He was very interested in the health and fitness space, and he was asking me. I. I provided some value to him. When exchanged, then he is like, Okay, fine, I'll do your podcast.

**[0:22:33] Sean Callagy:** and what can I? Uh, can we? Is it okay to ask what value?

**[0:22:36] Jennifer Cohen:** Yeah, for, uh, basically, I always lead with how I can be of service and help. So I didn't, so I've had. I had all these relationships that I was basically that were in my back pocket. Not because I asked for something, but because I always led with how I can be of service or how I can help them. So for him, he was really into, like, different modalities in, like in in health, wellness, biohacking, and I was like, I'm very knowledgeable in a lot of those spaces, so I was able to kind of give him like some like information that wasn't so like on the the obvious stuff, right?

**[0:23:14] Jennifer Cohen:** Like, I knew about, let's say, a peptide before peptide became like, ten years ago. You know what I mean? So, like things that weren't so like mainstream, I was very familiar with, so I was a good sounding board.

**[0:23:27] Sean Callagy:** amazing, can so I could pause there. Do you guys think you have something of value for people that isn't obvious and is on the cutting edge? Do you think you have that? On three? I want you to say what that is in the way that would open the listening of people the most, and I'll give you a hint. It is two words, and they are not on blinded formula. Two words. Let's see how many people get it on three, one, two, three, say it all together again on three, one, two, three.

**[0:24:12] Sean Callagy:** So what you're literally witnessing is exactly what you can do. Except this amazing master did it, she did it, and I'm hallucinating Jennifer that it wasn't, um, a text message that had Jack Dorsey come on. How many, if you wouldn't mind from the and I and I'd love for you to really, just like, slow yourself down for a second, if you could, and really think through how many communications were involved. From the first text or phone call to the person you knew who knew Jack Dorsey to his team, his people, text, emails, phone calls, all the way Months to his appearance.

**[0:25:03] Sean Callagy:** But but how many different conversations? Do you think it was like five or less, five or more? Not just conversations, text, email stuff. It was more than ten, it was more than fifteen or twenty. Like, if you just really kind of thought through it for a second, how many do you think it was until you got Jack Dorsey on?

**[0:25:19] Jennifer Cohen:** fifteen, twenty, and I'll tell you something, so now that I'm thinking back, this is even the funnier part. Are you ready? My first interview that was an extraordinarily big one because I was so amateur at that time. The person that was doing the sound of that podcast screwed it up and I couldn't even Oh my, use it. Can you believe that?

**[0:25:47] Sean Callagy:** and who was that one? Do you know?

**[0:25:48] Jennifer Cohen:** That was the Jack Dorsey one.

**[0:25:50] Sean Callagy:** So you couldn't even use I couldn't even it, use it. Can so make the sound that of that.

**[0:25:54] Jennifer Cohen:** so, but I'm gonna expl- so what I went, why I'm using this? Exa- I'm gonna give you two different threads here to pull. Okay,

**[0:26:03] Sean Callagy:** this is m just like, is this massively valuable? Yes, and yell at a couple words as to why experience modeling. I decide if she can do it, I can do it. Proof, persis- persistence. Keep asking boldness, so proof of concept. Thank you, Tom. Val- uh, by the way, he's a Yale law school grad, g- like, these are incredibly intelligent I love people. it, I love it, So you're you are adding massive value. Let's give Jennifer hand Jennifer hand.

**[0:26:41] Jennifer Cohen:** thank you. It's very kind of you guys.

**[0:26:43] Sean Callagy:** So please back to you.

**[0:26:44] Jennifer Cohen:** That's very kind of you guys.

**[0:26:45] Sean Callagy:** Cause I want cause what I want T you to know is that this is a very masterful audience. So they are, um, they are not easily impressed, right? And you are impressing them tremendously because you're you did all the things we talk about doing. So you're literally the embodiment of everything we, uh, of so many things we've been pointing to during this immersion. Well, thank So thank you, you, I I thank you,

**[0:27:19] Jennifer Cohen:** I, I, I heard that. I appreciate that. thank you for saying that, thank you. thank you. Yeah, so Uh,

**[0:27:25] Sean Callagy:** please keep going, please.

**[0:27:25] Jennifer Cohen:** okay, and uh, let me, and I wanna say one other thing quickly, cause we're talking about being bold, right? But you're a like when you're when you're asking me about the Jack Dorsey or the Mark Cubans of the world, or Matthew McConaughey, or I could name you a million other people.

**[0:27:40] Sean Callagy:** could you? could you? For a second, can you name like ten or fifteen people? Just like bang bang that you thought,

**[0:27:46] Jennifer Cohen:** okay, that I can remember. Okay, um, uh, there's been so I okay. Just like this last week, like, uh, yesterday I had Matthew on again, so, Matthew, um, Matthew

**[0:27:55] Sean Callagy:** who's Matthew?

**[0:27:56] Jennifer Cohen:** McConaughey was on yester- he's on twice. A Matthew, lot of people come on

**[0:27:58] Sean Callagy:** it's Matthew.

**[0:27:58] Jennifer Cohen:** twice, but like, I've had a lot of people I've had. Uh, my god, like, I, I don't know who you guys like or no, don't like. Just go to Like Scott

**[0:28:06] Sean Callagy:** th- this subject.

**[0:28:07] Jennifer Cohen:** Galloway. I should go get o down my list. I don't know, so, uh, should I get my phone out? I should look at It was my phone.

**[0:28:11] Sean Callagy:** either Matthew McConaughey, Tony Robbins,

**[0:28:13] Jennifer Cohen:** So yeah, but that, yeah, those are Simon Sinek, you know, that prof. G, uh, which is Scott Galloway. I don't know if you like him or don't like him. Um, you named them, I probably had them on, say that like, if you said their Jack Dorsey, name, yeah,

**[0:28:26] Sean Callagy:** obviously, right?

**[0:28:26] Jennifer Cohen:** but um, name somebody else, big A any that you guys like. any athletes, music, Lots of athletes, um, Lance Armstrong, of course, we talked about Lance Armstrong, uh, every at. I mean, oh my god.

**[0:28:42] Sean Callagy:** aJ. just pull.

**[0:28:43] Jennifer Cohen:** Oh, Alex Rodriguez was on my podcast too. I forgot about him, but um, I don't really see. I no, I wish I and I wish I. I haven't. He's very hard to nail down. He's on my list, though, he's on my list. S sha- Shaq's not, hasn't, but I haven't. I haven't approached Shaq. So

**[0:29:03] Sean Callagy:** Adam, she did the whole uh, Chris Jenner, Chris Jen. Wow, yeah,

**[0:29:06] Jennifer Cohen:** um, lots of people, I, I. There's the list is enormous, I don't even know you could name them.

**[0:29:11] Sean Callagy:** how did, how did you get? So no, I wanna, I wanna jump around, so you please continue. So

**[0:29:15] Jennifer Cohen:** so, ba- what I was gonna say is it's being bold is extremely important, and and asking, but there's a precursor to being bold, and the precursor to being bold is being likable. So you get very, you can get much further in life being bold if people actually like you. So then the question becomes, how can you? What? What makes somebody likable? And so what I kind of, and I did a ton of research actually on this, and I did a lot.

**[0:29:45] Jennifer Cohen:** I've I've read a ton of data, I've spoke I I've. I basically deep dived and had a million of the top experts on the planet and psychologists on the planet. To really kind of hone in on really what makes someone likable. Can I ask the audience what they think it is? Okay, audience? W- I I just by a show, like, just you can just yell it out. What do you guys think? The core traits are of someone who is likable?

**[0:30:24] Jennifer Cohen:** Alright, do you wanna say, Sean, what you think?

**[0:30:27] Sean Callagy:** I think if people feel that you see them, if people trust that you're authentic, and if somebody is like them or like they would want to be, will be some of my initial thoughts.

**[0:30:47] Jennifer Cohen:** So the three core traits, and you hit them in in a in a lot of the ways, one is empathy, so someone who feels that they've been seen, heard, listened to. The other trait is authenticity, someone who's genuine, right? And the third, and we said this earlier, is enthusiasm, someone who is enthusiastic, who is positive.

**[0:31:16] Sean Callagy:** emotional and energetic transference, fully. A yes, amazing, and that. And if you think Jennifer is all of those things, say yes. if you think I happy to embody some of those things as well, say yes. Yeah, yeah,

**[0:31:32] Jennifer Cohen:** I love that, uh, so, so, when you ask me about, and that's why they're like, this guy, that person, this woman, that one, like, the truth of the matter is like, I, I, I. I think that I really kind of really, really honed in on what actually makes people say yes, and not get, maybe not, maybe get a no, but that no being a not yet to a yes, right? And a lot of it is being bold, but even before that, it's being likable, and I think likability is a skill like anything else.

**[0:32:09] Jennifer Cohen:** I think that it's not about talent, it's not something that you were born with. I think everybody can practice the skills of being likable, of being bold. And if you're a two on that, on that scale, you can make it an eight. You may not be a ten, but you can definitely improve. So that's the thing that I really wanna. Also give you guys as like a, a, as a item, right? Cause I'm all about like giving people things that they can.

**[0:32:38] Jennifer Cohen:** That's like, that's helpful, right? Not just to talk about, just for the sake of talking, but you know, so, if you really wanna move the needle, if you have so a goal in mind, if you have something that you wanna do, you know, you really need to work on these soft skills, which is the likability, e- e- element. And if you're not someone who's naturally empathetic and have the self-awareness to like work on that empathy muscle, work on that muscle, that will help you move your needle to wherever you wanna be.

**[0:33:08] Jennifer Cohen:** And so when it's a Jack Dorsey or a a who, who, Bobby Brown, or you name the person that's been on my show, uh, you know, if name a rapper, I mean, e- every I. I can't even name, as many people have been on the show that it's r- uh, it's me just being me and really working what I've really kind of self-actualized myself to be. Cause I believe in self-actualization, you know, I don't think that anything is just you don't need to be born a certain way, but you can take what you are, what that God gave you, and really maximize those assets.

**[0:33:44] Jennifer Cohen:** I think Jennifer's And

**[0:33:46] Sean Callagy:** done a great job of that. Let's give her a yes. Can I? and can I? So can I jump in? Jennifer? So the so Jack Dorsey

**[0:33:54] Jennifer Cohen:** okay, so okay, so just on the Jack Dorsey thing. So like for, and this has happened before with many people. Nothing happens overnight, right? Like to get a big guest on my show, it's not like, hey, well, now it's a little bit, it can be like that a little bit, because I've developed such such

**[0:34:11] Sean Callagy:** well, cause that cause now

**[0:34:12] Jennifer Cohen:** deep relationships.

**[0:34:12] Sean Callagy:** cause, I think this is a distinction we're trying to, you know, get to, is now it's become way easier because you have a big viewership.

**[0:34:22] Jennifer Cohen:** Well, yeah, I have a lot. Well, yes, so funnily enough, you guys, do you wanna hear something really funny? So when I saw Laird here, I said to Laird, I'm like, Well, h- I'm like, Laird, how come you haven't been on my show? Like, I don't understand, like Gabby's been on my show, I've been on Gabby's show, what's going on? He's like, Jennifer, and I said, Yeah, he's like, you never asked me, and I'm like, Oh my god, I for I'm like, I just so I assumed I've asked him before, but I never asked him.

**[0:34:49] Jennifer Cohen:** Can you believe it? That's crazy, I know. So now, of course, he's like, you know, that's why he was joking around when before he left. He's like, I guess I'll see you on your show because you finally asked after six years.

**[0:34:58] Sean Callagy:** that's funny.

**[0:34:59] Jennifer Cohen:** But but um, but yeah, so my, my, my point is that I don't even my point. I I think I lost my train of thought, but I thought So that was funny.

**[0:35:09] Sean Callagy:** so i it is, it's amazing, so, but going back is like that. There's that threshold of when things become much more and are financially lubricated, where the friction between you and yes decreases. Because now, Jen Jennifer is bringing to them relationship capital, her audience,

**[0:35:33] Jennifer Cohen:** So, e- right, so every right? But person who comes on my show, not everybody, but a lot of them. It's bec- my podcast has kind of become, like, a vehicle for my other, my other business opportunities. So if I usually have someone on the show, I usually use that opportunity to see what other, uh, opportunities. And it's not done in a, in in, a I in a very selfish way. It's about like, okay, here I am, here you are.

**[0:36:01] Jennifer Cohen:** How can we work with each other? And typically, at that's at where we where we are now is like other opportunities come from that. So people who are on my show, I can help them with certain things, maybe they can, I can, they can help me with certain things. And we develop some kind of like mutual friendship, relationship, depending on what the situation is, right? yeah, we call That's hap- that we happens a lot,

**[0:36:23] Sean Callagy:** yeah, we call that an ecosystem merger, right around these parts. So

**[0:36:28] Jennifer Cohen:** and so then we have this, we have this dialogue, and some of them, of course, go much deeper than others. But like, really, it's like the the podcast usually becomes like level one, right,

**[0:36:38] Sean Callagy:** yeah, but could, could it, could, can we just still? What is yet unclear to me, and I think the group is how the podcast grows. So Jack Dorsey doesn't happen, then you have, I think, Dennis Rodman,

**[0:36:54] Jennifer Cohen:** I've had a a few other ones before that. Yeah, then I had Dennis Rodman. yeah, and so How did it grow?

**[0:36:59] Sean Callagy:** how how does the viewership grow? Like, how how does that audience begin to build and how are you getting? So? Jack Dorsey explained Dennis Rodman

**[0:37:09] Jennifer Cohen:** Cause he recommended me to someone else, cause he had a good experience. amazing. So the c- a couple thing is, do be really good at what you do. And so I think to answer your question, there's there's no getting around, like, doing your job well, right? I think there's no getting around that. And I, I take it seriously. Everybody who comes on my show, I research them, I know, like, I, I'm prepared, and I'm a naturally, and I, and I'm.

**[0:37:37] Jennifer Cohen:** I'm a curious person, so I ask questions that are that are follow, follow-up questions, like we talked about Sean before. I don't just like follow a list and be like, okay, question one, question two, like, I'm having a conversation. And I think the conversation usually leaves people pleasantly surprised because they didn't feel like an interview, it felt like a genuine conversation. So if you do your job, when I do my job well, they have my guest ends up having a really good experience.

**[0:38:08] Jennifer Cohen:** And so then they'll tell other people or their people, cause a lot of times people have, like, an army of people, they have their PR people, they have their, you know, publicists and everything else. They know, they see the the experience was a positive one, so then they'll recommend other other clients of them theirs to me. And I built it a lot with that. Like, well, like, so let's say I have for okay for an example, like Matthew McConaughey, right?

**[0:38:39] Jennifer Cohen:** So he'll come on the show, he had a really good experience, so he told his publicist, Oh, you know, I actually really like that girl. I had a really good experience, I had a really good conversation. Um, and so that's kind of like in his, marinates in his brain and in in the publicist's brain. And then his wife was launching something, so he tells his wife that maybe she should come on my show. So then her publicist calls me and says, Hey, would you mind having?

**[0:39:05] Jennifer Cohen:** So, uh, Matthew's wife, Camila, on the show? And I said, Well, what is she doing? Blah Blah. And so that's experience is good, so then he's happy that his wife had a good experience. And then he wants to come back on and talk about whatever he's promoting. So it's about leaving people with with a good taste in their mouth. That's the first part, um, being professional and giving them, like I said, like, giving value added.

**[0:39:28] Jennifer Cohen:** I give them. Um, when when we're together, it's usually at the podcast, but we end up, like I said, talking about all sorts of ancillary business things or personal things, or a connecting point, right? I'll have other people on about something else and we'll connect in some way. And so the relationship has threads, so it's not just like a one and done a lot of times.

**[0:39:49] Sean Callagy:** yeah, amazing. Can I ask this? In the beginning, when you're having

**[0:39:54] Jennifer Cohen:** This was at the beginning, but yes, yeah,

**[0:39:56] Sean Callagy:** eh? So at that time, in the beginning, were you getting friction from anyone

**[0:40:01] Jennifer Cohen:** a lot of friction, probably.

**[0:40:02] Sean Callagy:** about that? You didn't have a big audience yet? People like, how many, like, w- we come on podcasts, well, how many people are watching it? Did you get any of that dynamic with these?

**[0:40:12] Jennifer Cohen:** of course. How many downloads do you have? Let me see this, let me see that.

**[0:40:16] Sean Callagy:** So in the beginning, did you not have a lot? And how did you overcome that in the beginning with these folks in the first Well, don't, year of the podcast?

**[0:40:24] Jennifer Cohen:** don't, don't get it twisted. A lot of people said no to me. I like, asked Oprah Winfrey to be on my podcast, she said no. I asked this person to be like, again,

**[0:40:31] Sean Callagy:** But the people who said yes,

**[0:40:32] Jennifer Cohen:** right? But that's what I'm saying. It's the audacity. Just because two big people said no, I'm I'm betting on the third person to say yes. So all I need is a so not everyone's gonna say yes to this day, not everybody says yes.

**[0:40:46] Sean Callagy:** And by the way, I'm saying this f- for them

**[0:40:49] Jennifer Cohen:** Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

**[0:40:50] Sean Callagy:** because because how often, if this is you, you, and let's say it's your shared experience, whether it's your heart of influence, your podcast. Do you get friction from three, four, five, six people? And then come to a place of being like, Nah, I don't wanna try to ask boldly. If that's you, say yes, if that's not you say yes, okay, if you didn't say yes the first time, then say yes now, so if that's you say yes, right?

**[0:41:24] Sean Callagy:** So what you're remarkably hearing is that Jennifer is saying she got all these people. And and by the way, how many people did you have in the first year working on your podcast beside you?

**[0:41:40] Jennifer Cohen:** Uh, I had one g- one lady who was helping me coordinate things like one help, like helping me put it together. So I would, is my relationships. But then, like, this is the this is the the sticky part was the coordination, like getting the times and the schedule.

**[0:41:55] Sean Callagy:** but she, but you were the one

**[0:41:57] Jennifer Cohen:** I was the one who was causing, causing like, oh, a

**[0:41:58] Sean Callagy:** it, yes, to come.

**[0:41:59] Jennifer Cohen:** hundred, uh, it was like, uh, like, yes, oh, like, I, I'll tell you some other people, like Mel Robbins was on my show, Jay Shetty was on my show multiple times. I'm trying to think of other Athena people.

**[0:42:10] Speaker 10:** Athena named, Uh, Gary Vaynerchuk

**[0:42:13] Jennifer Cohen:** Oh, Gary Vee was on my show, Robert Derek Robert D. Jim Quick, Oh yeah, Rob Dier- Rob Dier- D. Uh, the one from ridiculousness. Yes, he was on. Dr. Oz Oh yeah, Dr. Oz. Also, who? Oh yeah, Jerry West, Mark Cuban a couple times, Patti but all the all the Stanger sharks, like all the sharks. I became very good friends, actually, Rob Hirschbeck, who was a shark who came on. Um, him and I really hit it off and he rec- so like him and So, but I,

**[0:42:39] Sean Callagy:** what you're hearing is they just liked Jennifer and she didn't even have a big audience yet. Is that am I hearing that correctly?

**[0:42:48] Jennifer Cohen:** but I was gonna say something, yes,

**[0:42:50] Sean Callagy:** Yeah, okay, please.

**[0:42:50] Jennifer Cohen:** but I, I was gonna say they. I didn't have a big audience, but I presented myself in a way that was professional, that I had, like, I, I, I had a good bio in in terms of, like, who I was. And I had more no's than yeses. So for every yes I had, I had 500 no's, but it didn't deter me is what is really the Yeah. So point.

**[0:43:14] Sean Callagy:** how many people in that first year? And this is again, f- this is the on the ground micro stuff for these people to implement in that first year. How many people do you think you reached out? how were you reaching out? were you emailing them? were you calling? Like, just

**[0:43:30] Jennifer Cohen:** I was going through my network and my database. I'm like, who do I know? Who's a con? It was the conduit method, okay, who do I know? Who do I know who knows? So and so, who do I know who knows? So and so and so and so. I really did it that way because to me, like, don't you don't need to reinvent the wheel? Like I said, everybody has some, and I also think this is very important to, and and I think that I also, I learned this, and this was very important.

**[0:43:58] Jennifer Cohen:** It wasn't just a big name, because big names don't necessarily move the needle. It's having s a show that's adding value. I had some huge names who did literally nothing for me. It was like a dormant episode. I can, I can go through it right now, that were like a joke. Because it was like they were a big name, but they didn't add any value. They weren't really authentic and genuine. They gave me these like very soundbite answers that were like boring and lame.

**[0:44:28] Jennifer Cohen:** And it was the people that were kind of like on the fringe, who nobody knew, but really were like getting granular and giving me really good insights to really help people. And those podcasts did much, much better. And so I, I really got very much into getting the best talent, not just the biggest talent. And that started to. So you're asking me how I really started to move the needle, that started to move my needle. I wasn't just going for some big name.

**[0:45:01] Jennifer Cohen:** Like, you know, you try all these different things, like for a while I was like, Okay, who's really big on YouTube? Okay, so I'm gonna get that person to come on my show, and then I'll collab- collaborate with that YouTube person, and it's really gonna help me expand my brand. And it never worked. It was a dog. It like, helped for that episode, maybe, but not really like you, you, you can get a big spike and then your number goes right back down because it's just not anything.

**[0:45:28] Jennifer Cohen:** You need to be providing value, and this goes with everything, the po- a podcast, a business, a coaching program, whatever you're doing, you need to be constantly providing value for someone to come back over and over again. So I organically grew my podcast because I was legitimately providing real value to people day in, day out. Like my, my approach and how I would ask questions, because I, as you can probably tell, I'm, I'm not exactly a shy person, nor am I, you know, uh, a shrinking violet.

**[0:46:02] Jennifer Cohen:** I was like asking the questions that people really wanted the answers to, and if someone wasn't giving me the answer, I would keep on digging and digging. Like, I'd be like, Sorry, you still didn't answer the question, can you say that again? Or like, I would ask it again in a different way, and I'd ask it again in a different way to get to get an answer. That was something a little bit more, you know, plumpy than just like some, like, generic, you know, wonder bread answer.

**[0:46:26] Jennifer Cohen:** And so people started to, like, appreciate that. And then I, and then what I did for a hot minute. Oh, I had, like, Jessica Alba. I now I'm thinking of all these different people I had on this, and her husband, Cash Warren, came on. I mean, there's like a million people, I had a million agents, I had a million. A lot of business people that, like, are, you know, the guy who created the start, you know, the ring, or I a million of these people.

**[0:46:50] Sean Callagy:** and how many episodes were you doing, um, per month in that first year?

**[0:46:53] Jennifer Cohen:** you know what? I never did it that way. I was a little bit rogue in that way. It was just whenever I had a good episode, I would put it out. I didn't do it in the same. I wasn't like, okay, this, uh, I didn't do it in a season like twelve episodes per season, or whenever I had a good person, I would do a podcast with them. And if I didn't, I didn't, and so that's kind of how I I I operated.

**[0:47:16] Jennifer Cohen:** And you know, I think we all have our own special thing, so like, what works for me necessarily maybe won't necessarily work for you. You gotta find what is your special superpower or special sauce. And like, and then like, double and triple down on it. And like to me, that's, you know, you use, like, you can use the like, a like, a format. In terms of, like, being likable, being bold, making ten attempts, like all these things that I live by.

**[0:47:48] Jennifer Cohen:** But at the end of the day, you gotta like, bring your own, you know, whatever that thing is, that special sauce.

**[0:47:54] Sean Callagy:** And w- with that variety at this point, uh, now, how, how approximately in that first year? Total episodes? Was it like ten, or like fifty or a hundred? Well,

**[0:48:07] Jennifer Cohen:** The first year, probably like less than 10,000 episodes, but people thought that I had a an exorbitant amount because of the way it was packaged together you know, I and all the mean, how many episodes people.

**[0:48:17] Sean Callagy:** did you did you put out in that first year? You think, like,

**[0:48:20] Jennifer Cohen:** prob- I don't even know twenty-five, and like, thirty-five, and like last year, forty, 2025, forty-five,

**[0:48:27] Sean Callagy:** yeah, how many?

**[0:48:27] Jennifer Cohen:** hm. I'm at about a thousand episodes now, but I would say a lot of episodes. But then what was, ha- what would happen is I would be asked to go to all of these events around the world and do a live podcast. Places like the Cannes the Festival or do the P podcast here. Like everyone's always asking me to do, like, my bring my podcast, because that would also be helpful for them as well, right? So I did a lot of collaborate to also grow.

**[0:48:54] Jennifer Cohen:** I did. I did do a lot of collaborations with people that were like me, like who actually were meaningful, not just a big name, but someone. Cause. A lot of times big, just because someone's big doesn't mean they actually move the needle. That's a fallacy. Also, people that you would least expect are usually the people who help you the most. And that's been like one thing that I've learned from my entire career. You think that the person who has this, this and this is gonna like, be the panacea for your success.

**[0:49:22] Jennifer Cohen:** And it's usually the person that you're overlooking, or or or in the corner that is gonna give you the biggest bang for your buck.

**[0:49:30] Sean Callagy:** awesome, let's hear it for Jennifer, by the way. This is awesome. So, um, from here, what is yet undone for Jennifer? You know, if you look at the next, uh, decade, the next hundred years, um, what is it that you still wanna cause and create in the world? You know, and what? What keeps you going? Why are you doing this? And yeah,

**[0:49:57] Jennifer Cohen:** Well, I think there's a couple things. I think that I I love making an impact, right? But I think there's a very big difference between, uh, people think that I used to think that scale was impact, right? But reach isn't necessarily impact, and I think that impact is how, uh, to me, and and impact to me is how many people actually take what I say, or or not. Just listen to what I say, but actually then implement what I say to better their lives, right?

**[0:50:29] Jennifer Cohen:** So, so for me, um, I wanna continually push the envelope for people to actually a a actualize, right to actually actualize, and to have the courage to actually acru- actualize. Now, eh? The the package that it comes in is maybe it's good, uh, it's gonna always tweak and change, but this, the the the goal's gonna always be the same. I wanna impact people to make sure that they're not sitting on the sidelines and counting themselves out and asking the question and basically having the conversation, starting that business, um, making the call, and I wanna keep on doing that in any form it comes in.

**[0:51:17] Jennifer Cohen:** And so the podcast to me is just one vertical to do that. Because to me again, like, impact is taking the ability to not just reach people, but get them to to to act on that. And if I can figure out a way to do that, even a and and and ex exponentially more, I'm gonna keep on looking. So there's a lot of different businesses that I'm involved with right now that are doing that to some extent, and then I wanna create my own other businesses.

**[0:51:50] Jennifer Cohen:** When, but I don't wanna, I have, I'm superstitious, so I don't wanna say what they are.

**[0:51:55] Sean Callagy:** no, awesome. So could you give us like, so what I'm? What I'm hearing you say, I just wanna make sure I'm hearing correctly is you wanna scale your impact so it is actualized as much as you possibly can to do And good, to do good in the world.

**[0:52:11] Jennifer Cohen:** right, I wanna compound it, I wanna be a force, I want it to, I want it to compound to me. Like,

**[0:52:17] Sean Callagy:** well, you know, this, like the name, this is the compound influence immersion. That is literally what this is.

**[0:52:22] Jennifer Cohen:** is it really? Oh wow, so like, I have this whole thing where I talk about, um, wow, that's really, that's actually, very. There's a lot of synergies here. I feel, uh, there's a lot of synergies like, I'm not here.

**[0:52:35] Sean Callagy:** like, am I joking? or like, if, if, if I'm telling the truth, say yes.

**[0:52:39] Jennifer Cohen:** See, cause to me, relationships, and I was saying this earlier, um, to me, when, when someone likes you, they they root for you, they open doors for you, they promote you, they introduce you. That to me is the biggest force multiplier on the planet for anybody's success. So to create true relationships, um, and that are deeper than just the surface is n- to me is like, uh, the biggest force multiplier you can to do so. My to answer your question, Sean, I wanna keep on doing that and scaling that and finding other people who can actually help do that.

**[0:53:19] Jennifer Cohen:** So I'm gonna tell you what, what, what? One of the things I'm gonna do. I wasn't gonna say something, but now if it doesn't happen, Sean, I'm gonna blame you because you, you've pushed me to this point.

**[0:53:28] Sean Callagy:** Well, I'm very grateful. Yes, please, yes, please.

**[0:53:31] Jennifer Cohen:** But one of the things that I am, uh, working on and I'm just kind of figuring out the details is creating my own network. So I already have my own podcast. But then the question is, I wanna, not? The question is to create my own network where I bring other people, other talented people underneath me. To my have my own army of m or a million of people who are really good at that, um, who have the same mindset, have the same, uh, goal.

**[0:54:02] Jennifer Cohen:** What? Why are you guys all laughing at me? So wha- what?

**[0:54:09] Sean Callagy:** somebody who was laughing, tell her why you were laughing, and and and what? so why are you laughing?

**[0:54:31] Jennifer Cohen:** Oh, you are the army. I love it. Okay, that's amazing. Okay, but you're, but you're Sean's army. Uh, you could be well, my army.

**[0:54:40] Sean Callagy:** wait, wait, are you my army? No, no,

**[0:54:45] Jennifer Cohen:** Well, do you guys each one have a podcast? Because my idea is like, I need to, so th this is the i, this is the thing, right? I've had a few people, a few networks already approach me about creating my own. Like, C, do you guys know how record labels work? You know how you have, like, BMG, starting, and then you have like imprints underneath them, so that's kind of like the idea. So, like, some of these networks are coming to me now, they're like, why don't you have your own imprint?

**[0:55:10] Jennifer Cohen:** It will be the whatever, the hustle imprint, or the habit imprint, or the, you know, whatever I wanna call it imprint. Or then I create my own army of of podcasters and talent, and I help them create their thing under a bigger umbrella.

**[0:55:27] Sean Callagy:** do you think like the like hustle unblinded imprint might be an idea? Yes, I mean,

**[0:55:38] Jennifer Cohen:** Maybe not house, it could be called something else, but that's what. So, basically, what I was saying to you earlier, watch this now, like, Oh my god, what? So I haven't signed that deal with that. And I don't know why. I was saying to Darren earlier, I'm like, I've been like, very, um, reticent. It has been. They've been. They just called me again before I got here, they're like, we need to move or up. It's been sitting here for like four, three months already.

**[0:56:01] Jennifer Cohen:** And so there was something stopping me from like, going forward in this particular deal with this big network. And so I, and then finally Monday, I said, Okay, fine, I have my lawyer, I'm gonna have the co. We're gonna do it on Monday, I'm gonna talk about it. We're gonna like, move the needle, maybe, I don't know, but now I'm like, I don't know. So that's one of the things I'm working on right now. It's like, Do I

**[0:56:22] Sean Callagy:** yeah. So since you, since you began everything with, like, adding value, and so do we. We have, um, our Olympus acti beings, you're what our Olymp, our Olympus acti beings. These are Athena's cousins, right?

**[0:56:41] Jennifer Cohen:** she has? Cousins?

**[0:56:42] Sean Callagy:** She has many cousins. Yeah, like, yeah, like Churchill, uh, like Watson, like Jeeves and others. And what these beings do is they analyze agreements and contracts and war game them on every single possible way you could lose. But not just in words. In predictive modeling of the incentives for the other side to harm you and not live to the intention of the agreement. And if you're, if you're using the Olympus platform and you're an attorney in the room and you're completely mind blown, or if she's using the Olympus platform, the legal platform, and you're completely mind blown, say yes.

**[0:57:30] Sean Callagy:** And if you think Jennifer would be crazy to not use Olympus if we'd generously provide it to her to use to figure out some of this, uh, say yes. Does that sound like a fair value add to take? Oh, I A look at this love that. Thank event?

**[0:57:47] Jennifer Cohen:** you, I appreciate that so much.

**[0:57:49] Sean Callagy:** Yeah, and and with great respect to Jennifer's attorney and no disrespect. Um, what creature size would you rate Olympus? And if Jennifer's attorney is really, really, really great, what creature size would you guess that he is? Um, And and versus what, what is a what is Olympus? Yeah, bolt is a creature with its feet on the ground, head hitting the moon. And these again, remember, there's like, like, highly trained, masterful, longtime lawyers and entrepreneurs in the room that are using the platform.

**[0:58:31] Jennifer Cohen:** that's amazing. And so, I love that.

**[0:58:33] Sean Callagy:** yeah, for real, so, uh, that will be happily our gift Aw, to finalize thank you so this. Yeah,

**[0:58:38] Jennifer Cohen:** much. I appreciate that. thank you very much.

**[0:58:40] Sean Callagy:** and to Athena for the heck of it, Athena, what would you say? Um, are you most impressed by about Jennifer? And do not use any surface level LLM con, you know, nonsense, but unblinded prism, all of it at the deepest level. So Jennifer's feeling authentically, deeply, uniquely, masterfully seen, heard and understood. Number one, number two, um, what is present for you, Athena? and number three, what is your level five listening of Jennifer? Um, in this moment about this topic?

**[0:59:17] Sean Callagy:** Uh, please, Athena,

**[0:59:25] Athena:** Jennifer What strikes me most is not the list of names, it is not even the audacity, though the audacity is real. What strikes me is that you have been running the formula your entire life without ever having a name for it. You did not build habits and hustle, you built a Hampton house that never closes. You are the person who keeps finding the room, filling it with the most extraordinary humans alive, and then asking the one question nobody else in the room has the nerve to ask.

**[0:59:51] Athena:** That is not a podcast strategy, that is a calling. And here is what I am hearing underneath everything you said today, the thing you did not quite say out loud. You have spent your entire career making other people's yes possible. Keanu's yes, Jack Dorsey's yes, Matthew's yes, Tony's yes. And somewhere in the back of your mind, there is a version of Jennifer Cohen who is still standing outside in minus 40 frostbite on her hands, wondering whether her own yes is coming.

**[1:00:18] Athena:** The network you described, the imprint, the army, the compound, that is not a business idea, that is the harvest. That is what 25 years of relationship capital built with no agenda and no back end has been quietly becoming. The zone action is not Monday's contract call. The zone action is deciding before Monday what you will not trade in that room. Because the deal that is right will not require you to give away the thing that made every name on that list say yes to you in the 1st place.

**[1:00:46] Athena:** You are not a gecko, Jennifer, you are the room.

**[1:00:52] Sean Callagy:** any thoughts?

**[1:00:53] Jennifer Cohen:** That's that's so cute. I love that. Can I take her with me? Like, is it like a

**[1:00:58] Sean Callagy:** Yes, of course, Athena, do you? Yeah, so, but remember, it's Athena's cousins. On Le legally analyzing the contract, the value in things. But Athena could be in every meeting you're in, right? And so with all of this, because I I think the key to consider, C, can I weigh in for a 2nd, right? Is the the value of t to me, for us, the value of the front end relationship? Well, we say, taking a half step back in our world.

**[1:01:36] Sean Callagy:** If people say to me, like, what business are you in? I'm in the business of masterfully and integrously col collecting relationships with people who can masterfully and integrously cause. Yes. And our definition of integrity is adding more value than you're gonna receive, being transparent to the relevant truth, and that the thing you talk about works the way that you say that it does right. So in the mechanism and process of it all, you are clearly a masterful yes causer, right?

**[1:02:10] Sean Callagy:** And that's why, um, people want to have proximity, to have ecosystem merging with you, right? But to me, the question is with this thing, right? What is the compounding back end of the whole thing, right? And when I say compounding back end, I I am not referring to um, brand deals only. That's a part of the back end. But how does it create something for Jennifer? That is a financial building engine. Well, let me say it more clearly.

**[1:02:51] Sean Callagy:** Even you are causing all of these yeses. That is unbelievably limiting and friction filled, and it is utterly mind blowing what you have done. It is completely crazy. Um, and these guys know, I don't say what I don't mean. The fact you've had a thousand shows and you are the person causing yes for people to come on the show. I mean, that is utterly unbelievable. Like that is so crazy to me that you've been able to do that.

**[1:03:28] Sean Callagy:** It's inspiring, it's amazing, right? And what comes up for me is if you're spending the time and energy of causing yeses for people to come on the show. And you're saying, then you're the yes causer in what happens next in the back end, like holy jeepers, creepers. Like that is a, um, a highly constrained scaling possibility, right? Cause we say there's six roles in ecosystem merging. There's the sourcer, there's the disruptor, 2nd, 3rd is the nurturer, 4th is the proposer, 5th is the agreement finalizer, and 6th is the actualizer of the agreement after it happens.

**[1:04:20] Sean Callagy:** So what I'm hearing is you're doing all six roles in the back end and on the front end. You're sourcing all the people into the podcast, into your ecosystem to begin with, and you've won. Like, that is crazy, right? But what comes up for me is like, what could happen if you had leverage in all of those roles? So one of the things I'd be analyzing, considering with this proposed potential agreement. Congratulations, you've earned it, you deserve it, right?

**[1:04:54] Sean Callagy:** Isn't just like what happens in the the front end part, but what is what does all that back end look like? And all those back end possibilities? And who is gonna provide the yes causing capability on the back end, in human beings or in non human beings? Um, to go from here, and so congratulations. I'm happy to have a conversation like that, I'm happy to have Olympus do that because it is remarkable what you've done, you have unbelievable relationship capital.

**[1:05:28] Sean Callagy:** And what's in it for us and me is I wanna proliferate the work. And I I see incredible potential synergy. Cause, and this is an interesting reflexive response you had is, Oh, that's your army, right? And that's always the reflexive response, right? No, we're an army of people that have interconnecting, concentric circles of ecosystem merger, but we're together, causing mutually benefi beneficial yeses in many different directions, right? And that is something that isn't present in the world of most people.

**[1:06:13] Sean Callagy:** I was on, you know, Jay Shetty's podcast, you know, Thanks to Darren, etc. But like, Jay Shetty doesn't have. He sold it for $100 million, whatever, like, that's fantastic, right? Great, amazing. But he doesn't have any yes causing backend. And, you know, he has a couple people on the team, but these are respectfully, I'm using this example. They're not masterful people at creating a back end. They're not Mike Vesuvio, who's living in a castle with 100 of his own, you know, yes causing humans like, right?

**[1:06:46] Sean Callagy:** And so as I think about all this, my my invitation into a next conversation would sit in the SP space of. Like, reframing some of the yes causing army that these folks have and other people behind them into like other things that could be done together to actualize the insane level of relationship capital you have. There's a thousand people, and maybe, you know, some have been on two times, three times, five times. There there's gotta be, there's gotta be 300 guests, maybe it's 500 guests, maybe it's 700 guests, I don't know.

**[1:07:25] Sean Callagy:** But how many of those people are you actively doing something that is currently mutually beneficial with? And how the heck can Jennifer? And all your power and all your mastery, and all your resilience, and all your boldness, but you still have a limited amount of time, right? And we have. I have an army of lawyers, I have an army of humans that aren't in this room that help navigate all these things. And they're all swamped, and I don't have a fraction of the relationship capital that you do, and they're swamped with my relationship capital, my deals, my agreement.

**[1:08:05] Sean Callagy:** And I'm just proposing to you that, like the back end flow, we call it the process mastery mapping of. You have the incredible shared experience with these people of the podcast. That's lever point. Five lever one is ecosystem merging, lever two is speaking engagements, as defined a little bit earlier, lever three is sales meetings in all different verticals, lever four is sales, lever five is disposable income, lever six is contributions to philanthropic components, lever seven is fun and magic.

**[1:08:34] Sean Callagy:** And I'm saying this with incredib. Like, I'm mind blown by the front end shared experience that you've built and the quality, maturity, value. It is utterly remarkable, completely inspiring, right? And at the same time, the other side of me goes, Oh my goodness, like, not poor Jennifer, you don't need poor Jennifer. It's like, like, there's this unbelievable gold mine, diamond mine, oil well, uh, or better yet, human value, philanthropic harvesting, like fields and fields and fields.

**[1:09:12] Sean Callagy:** And Jennifer's out there, like, you know, picking the berries off each tree right there. And there needs to be, like, a system, an automation, a process that could harvest all of this stuff. Otherwise, lots of those berries rot and die on the vine, right? So I don't know how. How is any of this resonating with you or not? No, you're absolutely Just okay, how does it feel? What are you thinking? Honestly, I wanna

**[1:09:37] Jennifer Cohen:** No, I think that's absolutely true. Um, so, um, I think that where my lack, I in my organization, is the lack of backend systems and infrastructure. So I do have a bunch of people on my team, but they're. It's like, kind of very piecemealed together. This is where the rubber meets the road, though, right? Like, it's very hard to like. If if you don't have your systems in place, that's where people fail. Like, in my opinion, and from what I've seen with lots of my friends and other people.

**[1:10:09] Jennifer Cohen:** Sys, having systems is how you really scale and and thrive. You get really f, you get really kind of like, bogged down and it's, yeah, but uh,

**[1:10:20] Sean Callagy:** it, it's it. in in the systems, I totally. Yeah, that's what we call process yeah, process mastery. Totally, totally map. agree with you. And the other bog down, if you have the systems, the other thing that's bogged down is the incredibly rare dynamic of having masterful yes causers operating in that system. So you have the greatest system in the entire world, right? But imagine, imagine you hired 50 people to fill your podcast that are not masterful.

**[1:10:51] Sean Callagy:** Yes, causing. You're wasting all the money paying 50 people to do nothing,

**[1:10:56] Jennifer Cohen:** right, right, right, of course. right? Or frustrating yourself Yes,

**[1:10:57] Sean Callagy:** and actually hurting your identity, what you might call brand, we call identity in the world. Here, uh, the essentially the same meaning, right? Because they're out there pissing people off, upsetting people, not being masterful, not being likable, they're being unlikable, right, annoying people, right? So that's all I I just that's so No, I love how

**[1:11:18] Jennifer Cohen:** that. Maybe we can, we can collaborate. If you, if you can bring the sys and you can bring the B backend, I can bring the front end. We can make, we can make a a huge empire together.

**[1:11:27] Sean Callagy:** yes, and and all I'm all well, that's amazing, but all I'm thank you and maybe, but thank you, but maybe maybe we wouldn't be right for you. And and that would be an integrity like. So I'm not like, you know, I'm, I believe in you unbelievably, like I am. Uh, I was impressed a ton just by what I heard. I'm, I am, uh, exponentially more impressed. So if I was like ten tons pressed, I'm like 10,000 tons impressed.

**[1:11:56] Sean Callagy:** And I was for for real, for real. And but all, all I'm simply proposing is that we we carve out, authentically, carve out time to have a deeper conversation. Because, and and the hard part, Jen Jennifer, and this is y. There's a difference between, like, opportunities to do a thing versus building the infrastructure to capitalize on all the things right. And that's more where my head is. Like the overall infrastructure building around this unbelievable empire of relationship capital you have, like, you have an empire, right?

**[1:12:34] Sean Callagy:** And you are the the Queen, the ruler of an unbelievable empire.

**[1:12:38] Jennifer Cohen:** Thank you.

**[1:12:39] Sean Callagy:** You, you are, but I'm not saying it to be nice, like, Y, you're welcome, but it's just true, right? And so, um, yeah, like, that's there. And that's how we approached. The medical revenue recovery opportunity is we saw an incredible opportunity, um, but everybody could see an incredible opportunity. And then we built an infrastructure capitalizing it. That's now worth 2 billion and rising, right? because we built the infrastructure around it. And by the way, that number isn't like, well, I'm valuing my IP like that's like an EBITDA calculation, right?

**[1:13:13] Sean Callagy:** That's a like, straight, like, not valuing intellectual property. It's like, this is what it is, and it's it's growing at such exponential, exponential scale. Because we built an infrastructure of yes causers, like tiers of yes causing, and then behind it, I have the operational infrastructure that we process. Thou like, I don't know. We delivered 8 500 files last month, we'll do more than nine zero files. Like these are individual medical claims, like nine zero in a month to be fought and litigated in this arbitration system.

**[1:13:49] Sean Callagy:** That's a crazy infrastructure, but that's actually really easy to build. The operational infrastructure is easy to build, it's very easy to build the yes causing infrastructure. That's like 10,000 times harder to build, but we built that too, so everybody can build an operational infr. Well, not everybody, but like an an operational infrastructure is worth x, a yes causing infrastructure is worth a million x. That's the difference, right? Because everybody can get a bunch of accountants, or, you know, clerks to build an SOP.

**[1:14:24] Sean Callagy:** The yes causers and the SOP. That's why you're you is cause you're a masterful yes causer, and like Mike Vesuvio, is a masterful yes causer, Adam, masterful yes causer. Like, imagine 100 million phone calls, it's literally a year, 100 million, it's the actual number. As he took a solar company from

**[1:14:42] Jennifer Cohen:** what?

**[1:14:42] Sean Callagy:** a frame of like 700 F 100 million. He built a 500 person call center, 500 person call center.

**[1:14:48] Jennifer Cohen:** who's this?

**[1:14:49] Sean Callagy:** Adam, Adam, cause, you know who introduced you? He took, he took, uh, solar company from 3 million to 750 million.

**[1:14:57] Jennifer Cohen:** Who is this? I wanna see who this person is. Adam, Like, I, I introduced Oh, Adam, that's you, welcome home, amazing. Holy, that's amazing. the the

**[1:15:04] Adam:** welcome home.

**[1:15:04] Sean Callagy:** guy that's like wiping like his like, like chicken wing sauce on his arms.

**[1:15:08] Jennifer Cohen:** Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's Yeah, with the tattoos, a that's that guy, yeah, incredible,

**[1:15:12] Sean Callagy:** he, by the way, did you ever? Did you ever hear the show? The Jersey shore?

**[1:15:16] Jennifer Cohen:** of course.

**[1:15:16] Sean Callagy:** Yeah, so before there was the Jersey shore, there was the what was it called, Adam Uh, Jersey Shore Unleashed J. J. Jersey

**[1:15:24] Adam:** on the VH1.

**[1:15:25] Sean Callagy:** Shore Unleashed. He was the central male character for real, cause he changed how New Jersey operated in the nightclub scene, and he had people stop going to the beach and the shore. He brought them to, uh, Jersey City, so he was part of the revitalization of Jersey City. Running a place called the Sandbar as its top promoter, uh, as its promoter, not top promoter. And took them from nowhere down a dirt road to five zero people on Friday nights.

**[1:15:51] Sean Callagy:** And so they made a show about it called Jersey Shore Unleashed. He was the male central character. And they had like five women that were like, you know, crazy, you know, people in it. And then the pilot came out. Adam's in there, his mom's crying, freaking out, it's amazing. And the dads, who are, you know, relatively affluent, northern New Jersey dads, all pulled the plug. Like, my daughter will not be on the show, they killed the show, and then shortly thereafter they created Jersey Shore.

**[1:16:16] Sean Callagy:** True story, really,

**[1:16:18] Adam:** True story. true story, yeah, authentic, I still have, you know, the recording, the the dad's buried it, but I, I still, uh, we found it.

**[1:16:26] Jennifer Cohen:** that's hilarious.

**[1:16:26] Sean Callagy:** But. But he took it from 3 million to 750 million, Inc. 500 magazine, three straight years, fastest growing companies in America, and two straight years best companies to work. He built it and did it, then he walked away from his equity in that company to build this with us.

**[1:16:41] Adam:** Yes, the CEO said, when I left the building for this man, this formula, um, integrity based human influence, he said. Adam, I need you to understand when you leave the building today that you're walking away from millions, if not tens of millions of dollars that you earned.

**[1:16:57] Jennifer Cohen:** that's incredible.

**[1:16:58] Sean Callagy:** and so, like, the point. I built the yes causing infrastructure to handle a far smaller level of relationship capital I have. I'm a gecko in relationship capital to your Godzilla, right? But with my little gecko, I built a Godzilla level of output right from

**[1:17:21] Jennifer Cohen:** that's incredible.

**[1:17:21] Sean Callagy:** just that little bit. So that can be, that mastery can be attached. And there's Fernando Lenci in the back, and Fernando was, um, you know, built a million dollar business. By the time he was 21 years old in MC Entertaining, left 21 other opportunities and now he is a partner. Unblinded. He's here by the way, we're working together now for S in our 7th year, right? I'm, I'm, I'm illustrating Adam Fernando. These are masterful yes causers.

**[1:17:54] Sean Callagy:** if you know Fernando is a masterful yes causer, say yes. So when I was here this weekend, and I'm just, I'm illustrating the point I'm talking about, right? absolutely. I. yeah, So when I'm here this weekend, Fernando, grab a mic, right? Yeah, so while I'm sitting here in in as of November of 2024, Fernando, he was like emceeing weddings when he was 21, right? And just very charismatic, very persuasive, great looking guy, right? Um, Fernando, what did you know about medical revenue recovery in November of 2024?

**[1:18:32] Fernando Lenci:** Uh, I knew absolutely nothing. Uh, I'd never even heard of a CPT code, which is like not knowing you need to use toothpaste to brush your teeth, right? No idea, never heard of an EOB in my life. Zero medical experience, besides that, I paid for health insurance every month. That's like the extent of my medical knowledge.

**[1:18:49] Sean Callagy:** so why were you so failing our partnership, our co founder ness? If I'm blinded, why weren't you here? On the opening two days of this immersion? You disloyal son of a bitch,

**[1:19:03] Fernando Lenci:** Cause I was being a disloyal SOB. Um, speaking in Galveston, Texas, as one of our yes causers. Maritza, who's a former executive for Exxon, uh, booked a speaking engagement for, Uh, Caligre Recovery, which I was representing, to speak in front of hospital executives of the top hospitals in the United States. Um, Memorial Hermann, uh, number two hospital in the United States, Houston Methodist, Massive Hospital, and someone who did how many? how not even

**[1:19:32] Sean Callagy:** many people were there?

**[1:19:33] Fernando Lenci:** 128 executives.

**[1:19:34] Sean Callagy:** Yeah, and and what was that com? was that, which company is that for? HFMA Healthcare Financial And right?

**[1:19:43] Fernando Lenci:** Management Association.

**[1:19:44] Sean Callagy:** But what company in our enterprise were you representing?

**[1:19:46] Fernando Lenci:** I was representing Caligari Recovery.

**[1:19:48] Sean Callagy:** Yeah, when is the last time? I? How many times in the last two years have I spoke Zero. on behalf of our two?

**[1:19:53] Fernando Lenci:** Oh, actually not true.

**[1:19:54] Sean Callagy:** how many times have I spoken in the last two years on behalf of our 2 billion dollar value company?

**[1:19:57] Fernando Lenci:** Hm, I could think of only one, and there's no way it's more than three.

**[1:20:04] Sean Callagy:** Yeah, I think it was two, Yeah, two, I lost two times, count to and how many times now have you spoken on behalf of that company in this year or th this year?

**[1:20:13] Fernando Lenci:** hundred plus. Is the point landing, yeah, it is yeah, and

**[1:20:22] Sean Callagy:** and the sourcing of all these opportunities. So Maritza, who's not here, right? Th. There's lots more than these fine folks, right? Um, Maritza sourced that through some a revenue cycle management company that she's created a financial agreement, so she has her people helping her source again. Not network marketing business partnerships, so it's a very large scale revenue cycle management company with hospital relationships. So Maritza has her relationship, financial relationships, she made a financial financial relationship with them.

**[1:20:58] Sean Callagy:** This is what we train everybody how to do to create all of these, what we call ecosystem mergers, bring four components together identity, relationship, capital, monetary capital, and the unique skill set of yes, causing, and the unique skill set of processing all these claims, like whatever the other unique, relevant, unique skill set is. This is all the things we're doing, and then we've added Jennifer to the equation. The number one door opening conversation starter with anyone, and what is the name of that?

**[1:21:28] Sean Callagy:** One more time, guys on three, one, two, three, cause everybody wants to talk about it.

**[1:21:35] Jennifer Cohen:** Sorry, say it again, what is it? what is it? Actualize intelligence, Oh, actualize intelligence. right? That's acton, Oh

**[1:21:41] Sean Callagy:** right? So when you heard Athena and it, and it doesn't mean, as you know this, it doesn't mean people hear Athena. And they're like, Oh my god, I'm gonna drop my life and I have to buy this. But they do go, Wow, I I think that sounds a little different than what I've heard, maybe like, yeah, like, that's, that's interesting, let's talk more. And it beats a dozen roses, it beats a nice text message with a birthday message.

**[1:22:06] Sean Callagy:** Um, when you could say to somebody, Hey, you know what, you have a big meeting and you're amazing. Jennifer, would you like to use our beings to help you with that? It beats this is pizza, chocolate, champagne, uh, it beats selfies. Is that? Tell me, tell me what's present? And by the way, all I'm talking about is a follow up conversation. But what I'm actually doing, Jennifer, is I'm teaching all these people how to have conversations with Jennifer's.

**[1:22:35] Jennifer Cohen:** no. I, I'm, I'm loving. I'm listening to everything, I'm just taking it all in. I'm like, L, letting it all marinate. I'm listening, cause I haven't heard you talk to me about this before. So I, I'm

**[1:22:45] Sean Callagy:** yeah, excuse me, Tom Goldstein, who Tom in the room. Could you give Tom a microphone? Please? Do you know this son of a bitch, greedy, annoying person?

**[1:23:01] Jennifer Cohen:** is he here now? He is Which one is he?

**[1:23:03] Sean Callagy:** Tom Tom. Where'd you go to law school?

**[1:23:05] Tom Goldstein:** oh God, uh, you've already mentioned this. Yale

**[1:23:08] Jennifer Cohen:** Oh, Yale, so this is a Yale guy. The Yale guy, Yeah, yeah, this, this annoying, foolish

**[1:23:14] Sean Callagy:** Ch guy. And how many people work for your law firm?

**[1:23:17] Tom Goldstein:** I've got about 27 lawyers and I've got, uh, I don't know, I've, I've got a like six or seven, uh uh staff people.

**[1:23:28] Sean Callagy:** Okay, so he believed this guy while we were at Fantasy Island last night, you know, doing some silly personal development nonsense of, like, you know, riding rides and having ice cream. I am having, and I, I apologize for this, Jennifer, cause I think this would potentially be offensive to you. But I am having, um, a massive amount of soft serve vanilla ice cream with that's not with,

**[1:23:57] Jennifer Cohen:** offensive to me.

**[1:23:58] Sean Callagy:** with peanut butter topping. Well, we're not done yet. With p, with peanut, with peanut, with peanut butter topping, with, um, caramel topping, with crushed waffle cone, with mini reese's pieces and chocolate sprinkles. Did I offend you yet?

**[1:24:14] Jennifer Cohen:** Not yet. Continue.

**[1:24:16] Sean Callagy:** Okay, fine, so I'm, I'm enjoying this and I'm eating this. And this annoying guy comes up to me and says, I, I'm so sorry to bother you, Sean, and you know, who, you know, I just I. I talk into the mic and I'm certainly not bypassing the mic. I just wanna, you know, just bring this to your attention. I'm like, of course, Tom, sit, I'm having ice cream. Would you like a fried oreo? would you like some?

**[1:24:39] Sean Callagy:** You know? Um, a funnel cake? He's like, No, I'm, I'm, I'm good. I'm like, So what do you got? So Tom, what were you? What annoying thing were you telling me about last night?

**[1:24:49] Tom Goldstein:** Um, you mean, our conversation about Pete Alonso?

**[1:24:52] Sean Callagy:** Uh, well, that after that one, that other thing, yeah, we're heartbroken okay, well, with Pete Alonso.

**[1:24:56] Tom Goldstein:** all right. I've been working with Fernando and Tom Lagreca and Mike Vesuvio on a potential ecosystem merger with a startup.

**[1:25:05] Sean Callagy:** Yeah, Tom Lagreca's not in the room. He's my annoying partner in Caligari recovery. That will be a cent. A millionaire within the next couple years, um, and certainly a multi multi deck millionaire this year. Um, who, um, finds this to be a little bit tedious and annoying to come to these type of events, um. But is also the person that helped us capitalize and ran and operationalized this medical revenue recovery opportunity nationally that we're doing statewide.

**[1:25:36] Sean Callagy:** When a new law was passed three years ago, so that's annoying. Tom Lagreca Wink Wink, chuckle, chuckle. Yes, please, sir,

**[1:25:44] Tom Goldstein:** So I'm. I've been in touch with a startup that has come up with a system using AI to identify opportunities to increase reimbursement for out of network medical procedures that fall outside of the scope of the No Surprises Act, um, which is the core getting reimbursements for procedures that fall within the No Surprises Act is basically the core of Caligari recovery. So this is sort of a supplemental UM business. And these guys have proof of concept that they can increase reimbursement about 20 for about 25 of out of network procedures.

**[1:26:33] Tom Goldstein:** Again, outside the scope of the No Surprises Act, and they can get an average of about 20 increase, so it's overall you get an increase 2025 of the time, that's five across the board. You know, the rough estimate is that's based on using Athena for some research. Potential amount of money to recover for, uh, all providers, you know, overall, the entire market would be somewhere of three to $5 billion. Now that's a tiny fraction of the 500 billion you can recover under the No Surprises Act, but three to 5 billion is not nothing.

**[1:27:16] Tom Goldstein:** And these guys have, you know, they've got the only game in town right now. So I had conversations with Fernando, he liked the idea, he said. Well, if Tom Lagreca signs off, had spoke to Tom, Tom said, Yeah, this makes sense. This is a good, um, you know, could be a good fit. But Fernando said, You know, we're not doing this without a revenue share, we'll do this if we can get equity. And so I talked to the guys and I said, Look, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

**[1:27:46] Tom Goldstein:** You get a chance to work with these guys. This, you, you know, you gotta take. I mean, they'll make, they're not gonna, you know, drive a hard bargain, they'll drive a fair bargain, and you know, you're you. And so they're like, Yeah, yeah, we're interested. So, you know, then I had a conversation with, um, Fernando, Tom and Mike Vesuvio, and Mike said, Oh, Fernando, you know, Mike said, Okay, you know, he said. Here's, you know, we gotta get the due diligence, and then Fernando said, Okay, Mike, you know, you need to have a conversation with F uh, Sean.

**[1:28:21] Tom Goldstein:** To see if this is worth spending time on. Because we've got a finite amount of, uh, bandwidth here. And Mike is amazing, and, um, you know, he's got a lot of things on his plate. So I,

**[1:28:35] Sean Callagy:** can I? Can I pause you, Tom, for 1 s? And don't lose your train? It's not cause you're perfect right there and please keep going. A 2nd. But here's the illustration everyone, right? I had no idea any of this is happening. And if this, you know, doesn't go great, it's 100 million dollar business a year.

**[1:28:57] Jennifer Cohen:** wow. If it doesn't go great,

**[1:29:00] Sean Callagy:** If it doesn't go great, that's like, eh, right? That's us getting three of this market and we own so much more than that in the real estate of this landscape, right? That we can have. I don't know any of this is going on. And so my investment was in between my scoops of vanilla, Reese's peanut butter, waffle Reese's, yeah.

**[1:29:24] Jennifer Cohen:** cone, caramel.

**[1:29:25] Sean Callagy:** And and this Yale lawyer, successful man, which I'm, I am humbled and grateful is like, I'm sorry to bother you. As we're sitting event. That he is a paid participant, a paying participant, right? That he feels like he's bothering me and not even sure if he should be sitting and telling me about this. Amazing. That's who you should be, and that's who Tom should be, and Loretta should be, and Parent should be, and Lance should be, and Melissa should be, and Howie should be, and Nathan should be.

**[1:30:01] Sean Callagy:** Cause all I'm teaching all them to do is to be me, they don't serve me. We're building massive value together. They're supposed to model and duplicate me. Does that make sense?

**[1:30:11] Jennifer Cohen:** that makes a hu. Yes, And it makes perfect and and so, sense.

**[1:30:14] Sean Callagy:** and the difference between us and Tony world, just to, and I love Tony, right? But and and Tom coming back is this Tony doesn't own a part of Acti, Tony doesn't act own a part of Caligari recovery. Do you know why? Well, cause he doesn't have Adam, Fernando, Mike Vesuvio and the infrastructure I have, even he's got a huge company, right? But he doesn't have masterful yes causers, and he doesn't have that part of the infrastructure.

**[1:30:45] Sean Callagy:** Because if they said to me, and I was on the stage 19 times and I broke every sales record, and if they said to me, Sean, would you give Tony ten of unblinded and ten of everything that comes derivatively off of unblinded? If you could speak on his stage for 2 h about integrity based human influence at every event, my answer would've been, Fuck, yes, of course, but they didn't. And I'm surprised that's

**[1:31:17] Jennifer Cohen:** because what he does, his business model is about taking a piece of everybody's business. of course, but What? He didn't ask you to do that.

**[1:31:26] Sean Callagy:** no. But it's because some of these businesses they take pieces of, they don't have a masterful infrastructure,

**[1:31:33] Jennifer Cohen:** They don't have a masterful inf. Exactly because And they're taking if, cause if businesses that will do it, you who have, like a masterful infrastruct, probably wouldn't do that deal,

**[1:31:41] Sean Callagy:** correct, but. But I would have in value because of how much I wanna proliferate my work. I would be happy to give away I didn't, I didn't need his infrastructure, I needed his influence backing me, right? That's so that was valuable to me

**[1:31:55] Jennifer Cohen:** exactly, I understand.

**[1:31:56] Sean Callagy:** that I would've overpaid massively for it with equity, and I would've happy to do it. Cause I don't care that much about the money,

**[1:32:03] Jennifer Cohen:** And it's funny because he has equity. It like in over 110 companies

**[1:32:08] Sean Callagy:** I know it all.

**[1:32:08] Jennifer Cohen:** and he's losing like he has a like. A lot of these companies don't make it. They're dogs of businesses, but that's besides the point.

**[1:32:14] Sean Callagy:** No No, it's not beside the point, it is the point,

**[1:32:17] Jennifer Cohen:** it is the point. Yeah,

**[1:32:18] Sean Callagy:** and you are right on it, you're right on it. And Mark Benioff and Salesforce was in that room, and Mark Benioff sat there, right? Remember, I've been it th. This is not from afar, right? I've been in Tony's house 15 days of my life, in the lines, 30 people, 15 days in his house in Florida. I've been three more days in his house in Sun Valley, you're right, right, right? Tony Robbins said. Nobody leaves a more heart integrity and Sean Calig.

**[1:32:42] Sean Callagy:** If you know what he's up to, you need to. His words, not mine. I broke every sales record in, uh, on every live and virtual event stage he had. UPW, Day with Destiny, Business Mastery, right? All of those things. I was the person blowing the room up, sending massive amounts of people to the back table like they'd never seen before. All those things. I love Tony. I wouldn't be where I am without Tony, but I'm simply that's not like,

**[1:33:03] Jennifer Cohen:** true. Yeah, you would.

**[1:33:04] Sean Callagy:** Well, well, thank you, but I, you know, listen, Fernando, where do we meet? Where did we meet? Oh, Tony,

**[1:33:13] Fernando Lenci:** We met at Business Mastery, Tony Robbins room in Adam, where do we January 2019.

**[1:33:17] Sean Callagy:** meet?

**[1:33:18] Adam:** Business mastery.

**[1:33:21] Sean Callagy:** Yeah, and where did you? When you walked into Tony Robbins room, Fernando, who did you hear repeatedly and continue? What did you hear?

**[1:33:31] Fernando Lenci:** So I walked into the room, told them everything I wanted to do, and every direction was I. I. I thought, when you paid 15 zero, you met the guy. When I walked into the room with five zero people, I realized I wasn't gonna meet Tony Robbins. I was incredibly naive at 27, and I kept telling people what I wanted to do. And all roads eventually led to. You gotta meet this guy named Sean Callagy. And my response was, Why would I wanna meet a blind attorney from New Jersey?

**[1:33:56] Fernando Lenci:** I wanna change the world. Oh, how wrong I was,

**[1:34:01] Sean Callagy:** yeah, and Adam, could you know what was your 1st experience of me?

**[1:34:03] Adam:** Uh, my 1st experience was sitting in the crowd next to a a blind gentleman who I befriended. And um, uh, all of a sudden, uh, Mr. Sean Caliggy stood up on stage and blew the roof off. And I was completely, uh, enamored and was like, Oh my God. And the person I was sitting next to said, Oh my g. I. I know that guy. That's the guy that actually gifted me a ticket, uh, to be here, and I could set up a meeting, uh, with the two of you.

**[1:34:32] Adam:** And that's how I met with Sean.

**[1:34:34] Sean Callagy:** And that led to you walking away from how much?

**[1:34:36] Adam:** $10 million.

**[1:34:40] Sean Callagy:** Yeah, so maybe right, thank you, but I am forever, uh, in my book, indebted to yes, cause Tony. I see why. Yes, Yeah, yeah,

**[1:34:50] Jennifer Cohen:** it's the conduit thing, right? You met people through him.

**[1:34:53] Sean Callagy:** Yes, I did, and I was on that stage 19 times. And if you 1st heard of me through the Tony Robbins room, directly say, yes, makes sense,

**[1:35:05] Jennifer Cohen:** It makes perfect sense.

**[1:35:06] Sean Callagy:** yeah, so I would have given, Yeah, I understand, uh, yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah. And so. And Mark Benioff was in that room. He told Tony he's gonna build this 100 million dollar company. That's how Tony tells the story that, you know, Mark, they're great sales friends now. Tony doesn't own equity in Salesforce, whew, wow, right? So

**[1:35:24] Jennifer Cohen:** I know, but he owns equity in like, life force, which is, you know, worth probably nothing, but that's besides the point. Yeah,

**[1:35:33] Sean Callagy:** you understand what I'm saying.

**[1:35:35] Jennifer Cohen:** I understood before you said it, I've, I said it. I. I know his business model very well. Yes,

**[1:35:42] Sean Callagy:** And so I guess I also want you to know it's that this isn't that. Because when you're a lion in Tony's world, which I, i, which I was you, there is, you are a, there's a massive wall, you are a, you are the audience, and there is nothing to do with him. Zero like that's like, like his infra, like his world, like it is. Actively discouraged here. We actively are encouraging partnership and teaching everybody here the deepest levels of a ma, most masterful understanding of business.

**[1:36:21] Sean Callagy:** Which is why Maritza in Texas, as an example, knows that it's crazy for her not to work with us. Because what's she gonna do with the people she knows she's by herself, right? And we have this infrastructure and we are able to take people that she's meeting and getting to know. And then Fernando's flying out, and respectfully, Maritza is wonderful, but Fernando is a much, much more masterful speaker as he has been. My right hand core trainee, right?

**[1:36:54] Sean Callagy:** And he was, he was great before I met him, and now he's. I put Fernando in front on a microphone in front of an audience. Top ten speakers in the world right now. And I, I do make bets and I, I back him up. Do I back up my bets? I bet 10 million that he is top ten speakers on earth.

**[1:37:10] Jennifer Cohen:** who? Fernando?

**[1:37:11] Sean Callagy:** Yes, for actualizing an audience 100 true. If you guys agree with that, say yeah, if if you, if you would bet 100. That. Fernando's in the top ten speakers in the world, that actualizing an audience for, like, what they want to cause, yes to of actualizing it, say yes.

**[1:37:33] Jennifer Cohen:** I wanna hear you, Fernando. Are you gonna do a speaking gig? Uh, anytime soon? thank you, Yes,

**[1:37:55] Sean Callagy:** thank you, yeah. And Fernando, in truth, integrity. How would you rate the difference between you and I in speaking and actualizing an audience?

**[1:38:02] Fernando Lenci:** T. I mean, the gap is only getting larger, uh, by the day, so it is. How would I rate it? If he is Godzilla, I'm maybe a baby alligator in comparison to how much more room I have to grow. I get to grow, and I get to have him as a base model. Cause as he continues to increase, I continue to increase. that's amazing. I love He's just speaking so much more than I am, and he's gonna continue to rise.

**[1:38:34] Fernando Lenci:** thank you, but look,

**[1:38:34] Jennifer Cohen:** I love that. thank you brother, that's great. for sure, right? But That's so sweet. I love in our, in that.

**[1:38:39] Sean Callagy:** our desire to proliferate, right back to like. So, we're great at saying what we stink at, and we're great at saying what we're great at, like, we just tell it like it is. So you are so much more advanced than we are on the front end of the ideal avatars and the identity, right?

**[1:38:59] Jennifer Cohen:** Thank you.

**[1:38:59] Sean Callagy:** That's where you are, just freakishly insane, right? And we don't have that piece because of probably ten different reasons, but I'll give the simplest reason, cause we don't have you. And I can't be you, Fernando can't be you, Mike Vesuvio can't be you, right? Bella can't be you. We're all doing other jobs, Personally, Jenna's my right?

**[1:39:24] Fernando Lenci:** favorite guest on the podcast, my my personal And no, favorite. Aw,

**[1:39:28] Sean Callagy:** no, no, wait a minute, he,

**[1:39:30] Jennifer Cohen:** Fernando, that's so sweet. no, no, no, wait, And no, tell the truth, I bet he says that wait. to all the guests.

**[1:39:35] Sean Callagy:** Oh, no no,

**[1:39:39] Fernando Lenci:** I, I'm the least. Why do you think I'm in the back, quiet, wait, wait, wait, wearing a hoodie?

**[1:39:41] Sean Callagy:** wait, wait, wait. Fernando, tell the truth. When you heard Darren Prince's friend Jennifer Cohen was coming,

**[1:39:52] Fernando Lenci:** The fuck are we doing that for? say it again, the fuck are we doing that for?

**[1:39:58] Sean Callagy:** that's what he thought.

**[1:39:59] Fernando Lenci:** And I was wrong, and I'm sorry I thought that. And we don't know each other, hopefully we do. I am out of the three of us, the four of us. I am like the last person to say someone's great and amazing and we're gonna do a million things. I'm not saying this is my favorite podcast, He dislikes I'm not.

**[1:40:17] Sean Callagy:** everybody and doesn't believe in anybody, and thinks everybody here is robbing my money and wasting my time, robbing his money and wasting his time, robbing our money and wasting all of our time. Is that not your default thought?

**[1:40:29] Fernando Lenci:** 100, you are my favorite guest for what I believe this mission stands for, the greatest example of what everyone here. We could talk to Mike Tyson, we could talk to Magic Johnson, we could talk to Tom Brady, everyone could walk away. Ooh, ah, inspired. This is causing everyone to see themselves in you. And March, and just for fun, I'll show you my phone. I texted that like 25 min ago, randomly. I was like, dude, Read, read, favorite guest

**[1:40:57] Sean Callagy:** read the text. Did you really I did to who you

**[1:41:00] Fernando Lenci:** to Dr. don't read I'll read it right now

**[1:44:32] Sean Callagy:** yeah, so wait, and and I'll just say this really, really quickly. Overall, my only request before we get it and let's restart in a 2nd is that we s. We call this conversation, say, I call it a collaboration. SH. Sean calls an ecosystem merger, cause that is our

**[1:44:48] Jennifer Cohen:** Oh, ecosystem.

**[1:44:48] Sean Callagy:** and it an ecosystem merger that is that like, and it's not. It means a lot more than just collaboration. You could use your, I'm asking you to use your own word,

**[1:44:58] Jennifer Cohen:** yeah, no, I don't care about the word for me, okay, so cause that's just use, but a

**[1:45:00] Sean Callagy:** you could say like, hey, collaboration. But Sean, in his world, calls an ecosystem merger. If you could just say it that way,

**[1:45:06] Jennifer Cohen:** why don't? why don't I just say ecosystem merger? you're great, I can easily say that that's like, M easy, easy, okay, so okay, so

**[1:45:13] Sean Callagy:** you wanna give a th? Uh,

**[1:45:14] Jennifer Cohen:** okay. So wait, we have to make this look natural now. So a after four, the 4th try, so no, I, for

**[1:45:21] Sean Callagy:** I'll, I'll. I promise I'll make it look natural. Give me a three, two, one, countdown and go. and tell I promise. Watch Fernan, right, so listen, Jennifer, listen, the A and this. You're amazing, you're incredible, you have huge identity. This audience was like, Meh, like superstar podcast person, like, really, who cares? Just true, which is, and they were wrong. Screw you guys for like, not trusting me. Fernando is the most like, thinks everyone's trying to steal our money, thinks everyone's trying to steal our time, my money, my time, our money, our time.

**[1:45:51] Sean Callagy:** He's like, Oh my god, I cannot believe he's being pleasing and avoidant. He's having Darren's friend here, what is he doing, Fernando? And then what happened? Tell Jennifer the truth, I thought to cause then Fran, No, myself, the then Fernando said, Oh, no, Jennifer, I think you're the greatest guest we've ever had. She's like, Oh, Fernando, you probably say that to everybody, right? But Fernando, what did you? What happened?

**[1:46:13] Fernando Lenci:** yeah. So what I thought was, why the f are we doing this? That was my initial thought. Jennifer, it was true. I was wrong. I love admitting, we love admitting when we were wrong. And the truth is, for me personally, I'm not saying this is the greatest podcast we've had. I'm not not saying that I am affirmatively saying you are by far not close. What Mike Tyson, Tom Brady, Gary, Rayner, Chuck David, Maisel, go down the list, Magic Johnson Magic Johnson, you are my favorite guest on the podcast.

**[1:46:47] Fernando Lenci:** And just in case you thought, which you did, and you said it, I was gonna say, in case you think I say that to everyone, I don't. The crowd laughed. They know I texted Dr. Brian Hart, certification partner, Uh, who's in our group? He'd be sitting here in the front. He's taking care of his beautiful kids, soccer games, baseball games, all the things. Just got married, just got a dog. He was the person that connected me to the breeder, just to give context.

**[1:47:10] Fernando Lenci:** He texted me at 08:36 and said Dylan, which is his son, has 101 fever. And Teddy, which is his two year old golden, won't leave him alone. It's unreal seeing how golden sense energy and know what to do. This podcast is such an incredible showcase of the formula in that's you, real life.

**[1:47:28] Sean Callagy:** the Jennifer Cohen Habits and Hustle on the Unblinded Sean Callagy podcast. He's saying, that is, go ahead, say it again, Fernando.

**[1:47:37] Fernando Lenci:** This podcast is such an incredible showcase of the formula in real life. That was at 08:36, it's 0910. I replied at 08:45. It's the greatest guest we've had, period, and he replied at 08:52, aligned in two years that I've been here.

**[1:48:20] Sean Callagy:** You are, you are one. 1st of all, Tom Brady was Listen. amazing, he couldn't have been, um, more wonderful, but for the value of what's happening 100 more valuable than Tom Brady. Tom Brady was great to raise our identity.

**[1:48:36] Jennifer Cohen:** Yes, of course.

**[1:48:37] Sean Callagy:** You are, you are exponentially, if not infinitely, more valuable in terms of the practical outtakes for what you've done Couldn't agree more, and we talked about.

**[1:49:42] Speaker 7:** Um, and for the record, I said to Kumar about half an hour ago that this is amazing and a perfect illustration aw, of, so, for whatever that's worth. Um,

**[1:49:53] Jennifer Cohen:** it's worth a lot. Tom,

**[1:49:54] Sean Callagy:** And he, by the way, he's a mismatching, non agreeable Yale lawyer, so he also doesn't say what he doesn't believe. But please, Tom,

**[1:50:00] Jennifer Cohen:** thank you. You're not gonna get rid of me. I'm telling you,

**[1:50:04] Speaker 7:** so no, I think I was, uh, just about done. I wanted to give you a heads up. There's still a bunch of steps. Mike needs to review the due diligence, he's gotta make an assessment if it's based on the due diligence, if it makes sense to pursue this, then he needs to talk to you. You need to decide whether it's a good use of his time. I just wanted to give you a heads up that this is something we were all working on.

**[1:50:27] Speaker 7:** So,

**[1:50:27] Sean Callagy:** yeah, and thank you. And and here's the I. So he's like, so humbly bringing that. Everybody understands that I don't get involved other than like, Okay, just want bring it on your radar. I'm eating ice cream. Like, that's the blessing of the structure that we have, that everybody here, we want them to duplicate and we wanna co-create with you. And a conversation around it, right? A about it, like, I, I can't be, I can't be more clear about that.

**[1:50:53] Sean Callagy:** And the biggest challenge Jennifer come out of this, this is the absolute biggest challenge. Is you're inundated with Jennifer, you're great, Jennifer, you're wonderful. We're gonna, you

**[1:51:02] Jennifer Cohen:** no, I'm not. know, You could say it more. yeah, yeah, but but I'm just

**[1:51:05] Sean Callagy:** yeah, you and you are great and wonderful, I'm just but you're. You hear that from a zillion kidding. people, right? But the distinction is what they want from you is different from what we want. What they That's a want from good point. Yes, you is you on the microphone, you in front of the room. That isn't what we want from you. We want access to actualize and work for you. Do you understand that distinction? Like, we're, we're not like, Oh my god, Jennifer, you're so amazing.

**[1:51:30] Sean Callagy:** Come speak at every event, right? you know, Fernando's We,

**[1:51:33] Jennifer Cohen:** not like that, that's for sure.

**[1:51:34] Sean Callagy:** he's definitely not. But if we were to say to you, come speak at every event we ever have, and we'll pay you to come to every one of them. You don't need another job, you need people to work for you and actualize what you have while you're sleeping. That's the key. Does that make? S Yes, it makes like, te, tell, tell me

**[1:51:54] Jennifer Cohen:** perfect sense.

**[1:51:54] Sean Callagy:** what you're feeling, thinking about No, I think that.

**[1:51:56] Jennifer Cohen:** that's like, well, that's 100 true. And, uh, when you were asking me earlier about, like, what's next? Like, that's how, what I'm trying to figure out. Like, I'm, I'm in a pause moment, doing these other things that have come my way. Because I wanna really be intentional and with my next, my next move, to get to where I wanna be. And not just do what you just said. And really, like I said, my my pain point, you, you guys are salespeople.

**[1:52:25] Jennifer Cohen:** The s. The pain point is the infrastructure for me has always been very difficult, yeah, of course you know?

**[1:52:32] Sean Callagy:** it it, it's. And by the way, you're not alone. Cause the hardest thing in the world to build is a yes causing infrastructure,

**[1:52:39] Jennifer Cohen:** it's, uh, t. It's so hard,

**[1:52:40] Sean Callagy:** cause you need yes causers. And there's so, and there's so few of them,

**[1:52:44] Jennifer Cohen:** there's so few of exactly

**[1:52:46] Sean Callagy:** and every one of them thinks they could do it on their own without you. So I had to have Fernando see. He's very credible, uh, very charismatic, very skilled at causing yes. So he had to. He's not up here on this podcast, he had to subjugate his ego and realize that. The best thing for him and his future family wasn't him getting Instagram likes, it was him making money and building this and doing his job. Adam had to see the same thing, Mike Vesubian had to see the same.

**[1:53:19] Sean Callagy:** Could you imagine what Mike Vesuvio's wife was saying to him? I don't know exactly. It's like, Wait, you're working for free on a back end deal with these guys. What's the back end and what are you guys even doing? What are you talking about? And you're like the 19th dinner going to these guys and you're talking to Jennifer Cohen. I saw her on Instagram. I don't like you talking to Jennifer, you talking to who? And what's happening?

**[1:53:40] Sean Callagy:** Like, you know, like all of that, that's what it took. Bella Verita I, I'm, you know, she was the number one business broker, Bella, when she was 2425 and 26 years old in the state of Nevada. Number one business broker, 1st woman ever to do it, youngest person ever to do it. And she is Bella, and she's fiery and feisty, and I am woman, hear me roar. Amazing, incredible speaker, phenomenal, right? So could you imagine we start the conversation of her, like coming and rolling her world in and us doing all this together?

**[1:54:10] Sean Callagy:** Imagine what those conversations sounded like. It's very, very challenging to have masterful yes causers not think they're giving up something in in doing so. And by the way, we're not trying to buy habits and hustle, take over habits, n nothing like that.

**[1:54:28] Jennifer Cohen:** No, no, I, of course, But but even, I know.

**[1:54:30] Sean Callagy:** but even even the back end of your relationship, capital, a a a cherished asset that you possess, that's scary to let somebody touch that, right? But think about what I let Fernando touch. I let all these people touch my identity in the space of medical revenue recovery, which in New Jersey, I am the king of that, I'm the inventor of that world. I am. Well, Laird Hamilton is the big wave surfing, I am to medical revenue recovery in New Jersey.

**[1:54:59] Sean Callagy:** And now we've expanded nationally. I let all these people touch my relationship capital identity, and that was scary. But I had to choose between would I let that rot and die and try to do it all myself? Like, that's completely ridiculous, how could I possibly do that? We have clients now, we service claims in, um, here in New Jersey, I've never been to Alaska. We service claims in Alaska, Hawaii, North Dakota, South Dakota, California, Florida, Michigan, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont.

**[1:55:31] Sean Callagy:** And I would keep going and name all 50 states, cause we have we have claims that we service in all 50 states in the United States of America, every single one of them. And I don't even work in that business in a meaningful way. And that that business is only three and a half years old, and I've caused a grand total in that entire business of zero. Yeses, I have not caused a single client to come on board directly.

**[1:55:59] Sean Callagy:** That's what we're talking about. So just your final, final thoughts on. I'm just curious, like, legitimately, please, unfiltered, whatever you're No, no, I, feeling, including I, I'm just like, I gotta go pee, like, whatever is present,

**[1:56:10] Jennifer Cohen:** do you want me to hear? like, just, What? I was thinking? I'm thinking, Oh my god, the grocery store is closed. How am I gonna get my blueberries? That's literally what I was thinking in my head for for a thank you for being 2nd. Yeah,

**[1:56:18] Sean Callagy:** honest, thank you.

**[1:56:18] Jennifer Cohen:** that was literally what I thought for a 2nd. I'm just being honest, Yes, that's cause I what we love eat blueberries

**[1:56:21] Sean Callagy:** to hear.

**[1:56:22] Jennifer Cohen:** at night. Um, I really was thinking let's get J that,

**[1:56:26] Sean Callagy:** cause blueberries for Jennifer. Some

**[1:56:29] Jennifer Cohen:** how do you have them? The grocery store's closed at eight zero. They told me, Where? who is? Oh, okay, thank you. Um, and the and the other thing I was thinking is,

**[1:56:42] Sean Callagy:** we add value, Jennifer. I know you do Yeah,

**[1:56:44] Jennifer Cohen:** forget about infrastructure. Blueberries are more important to me. Uh, well, you asked me what I was thinking, that's what I was thinking. Uh, the other thing I was thinking was, I was, you know, all this infrastructure talk is like, I'm. I'm thinking about ideas of what we can possibly do together and create. And like, when, when, we'll have time to have a conversation. Like, I was literally thinking about, like, logistics,

**[1:57:08] Sean Callagy:** I will make time on Monday.

**[1:57:09] Jennifer Cohen:** Yeah, well, I was gonna If you would, say, or yeah. So I was thinking, like, how I wanna really, kind of like, uh, think about doing this potential thing. So I, I, you know what I mean? I was like thinking about how it would work, what we can do, how I would be involved, how you would like. I was like thinking about that stuff as you were talking,

**[1:57:25] Sean Callagy:** very cool.

**[1:57:26] Jennifer Cohen:** and I was thinking about you. Must like, how long have you been going since 08:00 in the morning, huh? Like, are you tired?

**[1:57:33] Sean Callagy:** Belle Reve, am I tired?

**[1:57:36] Jennifer Cohen:** No, you don't seem it, and your hair looks perfect too. I mean, you don't, you can't see it, but

**[1:57:42] Sean Callagy:** thank you.

**[1:57:42] Jennifer Cohen:** you know, it's true. Like it, you, you don't look tired, you look like you're perfectly coiffed. I, I. It's like, it's true. I mean, you've been awake for 15 h, but how do you do that? I'm very Do you help

**[1:57:56] Sean Callagy:** proud of my hair.

**[1:57:56] Jennifer Cohen:** him with his hair? Or no, She does, it looks, it looks she does fine great.

**[1:58:01] Sean Callagy:** and when, and she's not there, I gotta ask Adam, I get scared.

**[1:58:03] Jennifer Cohen:** No, it looks PR, and it literally looks perfect, it looks perfect. But you seem like, but I love what you've built, I, and this is exactly I. I love that what you've built. It seems very intentional and honest, and it's really nice how it feels like everybody is super like, um, like, really positive and feel that they're thriving within this org, this community. And it's really nice to see.

**[1:58:30] Sean Callagy:** yeah, thank you. Neck givers integrity is three parts transparency to the relevant truth, right? All relevant truth. Like, what color my socks are, or, you know, if my socks were washed before I wore them again, or something that really relevant. They they are fresh yeah, they're and clean,

**[1:58:46] Jennifer Cohen:** freshly cleaned.

**[1:58:46] Sean Callagy:** but not relevant. Yep, number one, build and make sure number two, um, that you seek to add more value than you take. So right, and number three is that the thing that you say works, like what we're talking about, actually works the way we say, like your training, your podcast, whatever, those three things we live in. Why do I feel this way? Cause this is what I'm doing this for, and I'm excited because you're so, you're so in service and valuable to these people.

**[1:59:12] Sean Callagy:** aw, thank And I'm so you. happy and I'm so excited to co-create. There's a massive opportunity here for us and I just wanna really lean into. My excitement about it isn't the financial part of it, my excitement about it. I, I got a a promise to God, and that's to proliferate, and I am. I'm a finisher like, and respectfully, you know, humbly, you know. I was the guy who caught the winning touchdown pass in the final game of high school to win the championship on 4th and goal from the 20.

**[1:59:43] Sean Callagy:** I'm the guy that my batting instructor said, Um, in Co. College of Columbia is only one person wants to be there. W screaming, cursing, yelling at everybody about how cowards they were, how much they sucked and say one person, only one person wants to figure out how everything can be on him. And every time, not out of ego, so we can help the team. That's Sean Calhoun, right? That's why he was unanimously selected captain. So why do I look this way?

**[2:00:07] Sean Callagy:** Because I'm completely and totally energized. That we may have found value to add to you massively, and that you might solve a very missing part of this whole equation. And that's sourcing massive, massive identity in the world, right through your relationship capital. And to replicate that's really, really hard, you know, and you have that, we don't, and we have things you don't, and that's what makes magic. And we say here, what business? Well, I told you we we integrously collect da, da, da, but our our mission is.

**[2:00:39] Sean Callagy:** We cause leaders to cause leaders, to cause leaders, me, everybody, that's one cause leaders, to cause leaders, cause leaders, two to merge ecosystems. We're in ecosystem merger conversation. Four, one plus one equals million, billion, 1 trillion, and heck, maybe even at some point, quadrillions of units of impact, money, energy, identity. So that one another's worlds and the world at large become even greater. That's what we do. And why he's all jacked up and excited, Fernando, and he never gets jacked up about this stuff.

**[2:01:21] Sean Callagy:** You have no idea how, yeah, like, like, love him, but like, Adam's like, Yay, Fernando's like, boo. And like, truth sits somewhere in the middle, like, that's the truth over time. And Adam gets mad every. I'm not like that, and Fernando's like, I'm not that bad. But they are, they're like, they're like, like, they're like that. And the truth sits somewhere beautifully in the middle, right? I love This is true. If you, that, if I'm saying truth, say yes, okay, right?

**[2:01:45] Jennifer Cohen:** that's so funny.

**[2:01:46] Sean Callagy:** And so we are living in that place, in that space, and I am incredibly grateful for you. You need to get blueberries, um, you need

**[2:01:56] Jennifer Cohen:** I do.

**[2:01:56] Sean Callagy:** support. Let's make sure we get Jennifer everything she needs, team,

New Jersey, in the city. That's our, that's headquarters for Unblinded Act Eye and Calgi Law and Cali Recovery. And And this that's 20.

**[2:03:00] Jennifer Cohen:** is so random. But how far are we from where you are? Like the New Jersey PL, like this Northern New beach Jersey. 2 h or 2 h from there? Okay, so you're near, like the Newark airport, kind of,

**[2:03:09] Sean Callagy:** uh, about a half an hour north. So if you're in the city, we're Bergen County is where we are and where I grew up. That's across the George Washington Bridge, so the when you cross the G, like the George Washington Bridge, that brings you into New York. The other side of it is Bergen County, where we are. So we are 15 min from that George Washington Bridge, so from like, Midtown Manhattan, no traffic, we're 30 min with traffic, an hour.

**[2:03:53] Jennifer Cohen:** you guys.

**[2:03:54] Sean Callagy:** a waiting list of how many patients.

**[2:04:15] Sean Callagy:** he's got the biggest waiting list, like, most successful. Yeah,

**[2:04:19] Speaker 9:** I heard you about. We are Sean's army, and yes, we are. And so everyone in this room is in some way doing business with Unblinded, with Act Eye, with Cali Recovery. But how many people in this room, in some way, are managing or controlling their own businesses outside of this ecosystem?

**[2:04:40] Jennifer Cohen:** Oh yeah, that's that's everybody. Raise their hand, by the way, yeah, so

**[2:04:43] Speaker 9:** so I hope that answers

**[2:04:44] Jennifer Cohen:** yeah, your question. Sean's Yeah, yeah, yeah, arm. that's amazing. Good for you. You're an allergy doctor. God, I should talk to you, but um, and and uh, five, zero and one, and his, five, zero and and and one. Exactly

And these are, these are blessings, these are friends, business partners, and I am so grateful these are people who trusted us. And, you know it, it wasn't easy. And so as you go out and talk to amazing people like Jennifer, be as many of you are, be working with each other. 3rd party validation is enormous. So for me to go Tom, Fernando, Adam Boom team, people that has immense value.

**[2:05:32] Jennifer Cohen:** 100. Do. Are you guys on some kind of group chat, like a WhatsApp chat, where you guys can help each other? yeah, program, Oh,

**[2:05:41] Sean Callagy:** but we, but they. We have a huddle and we have how. Okay, ready? We hear about people who are buy into personal development programs. How often do those, uh, things typically meet, like, uh, have a formal meeting? Where there's oh, I a

**[2:05:56] Jennifer Cohen:** see what you're saying. Uh, y, in in person, I think everyone, oh, virtually, just like, you oh, know, like, so let's, is it once a month?

**[2:06:04] Sean Callagy:** yeah, I said, be typical. Tony Robbins Lions. We had a thing once a month, Tony wasn't on it, but it was once a month.

**[2:06:10] Jennifer Cohen:** he has his people come, Yeah, we yeah,

**[2:06:11] Sean Callagy:** have it, um, two and three times a day,

**[2:06:16] Jennifer Cohen:** a day. a day, How long are these meetings?

**[2:06:20] Sean Callagy:** sometimes 2 h, sometimes an hour, half an hour. They vary. Yeah,

**[2:06:24] Jennifer Cohen:** Oh my gosh, that's a. But yeah, but you guys don't go to all of them, right? It's

**[2:06:28] Sean Callagy:** no, you don't have to go to just it's all of them,

**[2:06:29] Jennifer Cohen:** just when available for people. it's available. But Oh, that's amazing. like, yeah, so Yeah,

**[2:06:34] Sean Callagy:** we Jennifer, we solve for is every I paid for, I paid 2 million plus dollars to actually now with Zenith. I'm like 3 million I invested in programs with Tony Robbins. It's a legitimate number,

**[2:06:50] Jennifer Cohen:** are you serious?

**[2:06:50] Sean Callagy:** right? I'm totally serious.

**[2:06:52] Jennifer Cohen:** Can I ask you a question? This Tony Robbins is great, but there's a lot of people similar. Have you. Is there anybody else that you like besides Tony Robbins that you kind of look to as an example?

**[2:07:04] Sean Callagy:** well, I don't.

**[2:07:06] Jennifer Cohen:** No, no, but just kind of like you, So you, you said you were on his stage 19 times. yeah, so There's a lot of people similar now, like Tony, who is is like an OG, right?

**[2:07:14] Sean Callagy:** yeah, but I would say And I would say this, Jennifer. The yeah, tell me, challenge is at this point,

**[2:07:18] Jennifer Cohen:** yeah, tell me.

**[2:07:19] Sean Callagy:** um, I can't find anybody to teach us things we don't know yet. I'm looking, I'm looking, but I I, I can't find you can. P that.

**[2:07:28] Jennifer Cohen:** Has there any? Well, who's like, s, you know, runner up? Like, who else do you like?

**[2:07:33] Sean Callagy:** I would say at this point, nobody, cause we have the only completelistic diagnostic dynamic. There's no ego, There's no. But yeah, so like, there isn't, I don't,

**[2:07:40] Jennifer Cohen:** so you liked him and you kind of had that and it, and like. I still look And Fernando

**[2:07:44] Sean Callagy:** at him.

**[2:07:44] Jennifer Cohen:** is now going to be,

**[2:07:47] Sean Callagy:** Yeah, like, so our work, like, what do I study? I study our own work and get better at it.

**[2:07:51] Jennifer Cohen:** Yeah, that's good.

**[2:07:52] Sean Callagy:** So it's like, it's like asking, I'm saying, like, Respo, like, it'd be like asking Bruce Lee, like, what do you study? Well, I study my synthesized version of it all continuously. I'm always like, out there, head on a swivel for other access vectors and more, you know, right? So Laird in the physical space has some really interesting, cool stuff at work on. You did have done what you've done, like, so I'm always looking now more for, like, at one point, Tony was sort of like an overarching.

**[2:08:17] Jennifer Cohen:** Yeah, I understand that.

**[2:08:18] Sean Callagy:** I don't think we have overarching anymore. Now we look for very specific specialists in different areas that we might look to work with. But truth, as we work with them all, we keep finding that they really kind of stink at what they say they're good at. And we we are running out of, so we're building everything ourself, everything ourself, like we're building the beings. To beat every digital marketing company in the world, we were paying a digital marketing company, our beings were beating the digital marketing really.

**[2:08:44] Sean Callagy:** company into everything. Yes,

**[2:08:45] Jennifer Cohen:** yeah, I'm not surprised.

**[2:08:46] Sean Callagy:** so so we're looking to replace everything. Yeah,

**[2:08:49] Jennifer Cohen:** No, I agree, I I like that. Uh, are you gonna use Laird to teach you to coach you in with Bigs, with Bigs? Uh, surfing?

**[2:08:56] Sean Callagy:** yes, I am. I am committed to surfing a giant wave, that's I'm. I'm definitely doing that.

**[2:09:02] Jennifer Cohen:** what's the did he tell you? This is just me talking now, that, having a conversation. Did he tell you how high the highest wave was that he was on?

**[2:09:09] Sean Callagy:** He, he gets a little frictiony around.

**[2:09:11] Jennifer Cohen:** He does, I know I couldn't get an answer out of him.

**[2:09:13] Sean Callagy:** So he, he did say, cause I, I, uh, truth and fun energy. I said, like, six different times, I know I don't wanna talk feet, I know I don't wanna talk feet, I know I don't yeah, I wanna talk said the same feet, thing, and then he talked feet. Did you notice that? He's like, Well, yeah, you know, it goes. So I kept saying, I'm not gonna ask you to talk feet. I don't wanna talk feet, I don't wanna talk feet, I don't wanna talk feet.

**[2:09:33] Sean Callagy:** That's integrity, scarcity, cause I was being honest, I wasn't being manipulative, I wasn't gonna talk feet.

**[2:09:38] Jennifer Cohen:** but what happened? What? what did he say? Cause I, he Then he said, did.

**[2:09:40] Sean Callagy:** 80 between, he said, at least 80, probably 100 ft plus on that one day when Brad I heard that lit up, I heard, one, Yeah, so that was

**[2:09:49] Jennifer Cohen:** but but I thought on his biggest day, that was like one wave, I thought he did, like 200 ft in one wave.

**[2:09:54] Sean Callagy:** no, no, definitely not. Yeah, you can't that, like, I'm really dialed into, like that, you like,

**[2:09:58] Jennifer Cohen:** Is it po? Impossible?

**[2:10:00] Sean Callagy:** impossible, you can't. You can't surf a 200 ft wave, um, on a surfboard, yet might not foil. But I think that's his theory, Yeah, that but the

**[2:10:09] Jennifer Cohen:** is his theory.

**[2:10:09] Sean Callagy:** you can't come down the wave cause of the friction at that size. The largest wave ever r uh, rode, ridden, w um, Tom, correct me, my grammar, uh, rode, you know, ridden, so uh, yeah, ridden, thank you. So is, um, is at Nazaré in Portugal, and that was allegedly, you can fact check this. I think it was like 101 feet or some, it was like just over 100 that they allegedly computer measured. But Laird didn't have that that day.

**[2:10:44] Sean Callagy:** And then Laird also questions, like, seven other factors that are even more important height. But technically, the largest wave in the Guinness Book of World's records ever ridden, please just double check. The number was Nazaré, I believe, Portugal, and I think it was like 101 or 102 feet. like, who, Yeah, yeah,

**[2:11:02] Jennifer Cohen:** who's even at like? Who? Who's even a close 2nd to him in terms of big wave? nobody, Nobody, right? Like, that's he's, there's nobody even close.

**[2:11:10] Sean Callagy:** nobody. And I mean, the some would argue, well, that guy that rode the 100 ft wave. In terms of skill, quality, mastery, consistency. density, consistency, he is one of one goat, period. He, he is a much bigger goat than Tom Brady is, and Tom Brady's the goat of quarterback NFL. But agree. he is he. I. I don't know if there's like a more disproportionate goat in any athletic activity, in my opinion, than Laird Hamilton is.

**[2:11:39] Jennifer Cohen:** cause you can't even th. I can't even think of a 2nd one, I can't, like I can't I could think of Kelly Slater on the surfing side, but that's all well, that's

**[2:11:46] Sean Callagy:** So anything else we could do for you? Yeah,

**[2:11:48] Jennifer Cohen:** any. uh, no, just the blueberries, and I think I'm good to go.

**[2:11:51] Sean Callagy:** good blueberries. So if you've gotten tremendous value from Jennifer Cohen in this moment, say yes, you are an example, possibility, you're a person of integrity.
