Beyond Curious ™ (formerly 7-Figure Millennials)
Curiosity alone won't change the world, but going Beyond Curious™ will. The people that shape society are the explorers — the brave adventurers willing to take a voyage into the unknown to satisfy their curiosity, fulfill their purpose, and bring their ideas to life. This is a show for those people. The people that are relentlessly curious about themselves, their impact, their potential, the people they love, and the world around them. The people who are CONSTANTLY asking themselves, “What if…”, “I wonder…”, “Why not…”, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible for themselves and for society at large. Join me (Brandon Fong) as every week I interview pioneering adventurers who have dared to go Beyond Curious™. Past guests have included NYT Bestselling authors, main stage TED speakers, 7-9 figure entrepreneurs... ... and even an occasional Olympian, NFL player, FBI hostage negotiator, hypnotist, drug dealer turned (legal) millionaire, decorated air force pilot, illusionist, Hollywood legend, Shark from Shark Tank, and even the man that invented the cell phone! I'm grateful to say that the show achieved a top 2% global ranking out of the 2.8M+ global podcasts indexed by Listen Notes in 1 year after launching. To hear the full story of how Beyond Curious™ was born and learn about the vision for the brand, listen to episode #140!

March 26, 2024 • 68 MIN
Mark Podolsky is considered the country’s most trusted and foremost authority on buying and selling… … dirt. Yep, you read that right. Mark has literally made millions (and helped countless others to make money) selling raw, undeveloped land within the United States. But, as with any entrepreneur’s journey, Mark’s path was NOT easy.

BUT… It was because of this journey that Mark recognized that he was looking for his happiness in all the wrong places. This is an EPIC conversation with a deeply curious and connected entrepreneur, and I can’t wait for you to listen! To learn more about Mark, visit https://gobeyondcurious.com/podcast/mark-podolsky/

#168: EPIC "Accidental" Episode: Here’s What Happens When You Connect A Hollywood Storytelling Legend With A World Class “Liquid Storyteller”... W/ Michael Hauge & Ryan Castelaz
January 2, 2024 • 98 MIN
What happens when you connect a Hollywood storytelling legend to a world-class "liquid storyteller"... and then sit back and listen? MAGIC. I think a new format for Beyond Curious just emerged... Context: Michael Hauge has been one of Hollywood’s top story experts since 1985. He consulted for Will Smith to help create I Am Legend... and has worked on projects starring Julia Roberts, Morgan Freeman, Alec Baldwin, Chris Pine, Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hardy, Tom Cruise, and many others. Ryan Castelaz is a "liquid storyteller" and the founder of Discourse Coffee, which Growler Magazine called “the most gonzo, balls-to-the-wall, experimental coffee house.” Ryan has been featured in Milwaukee Foodie, Food & Wine, Barista Magazine... etc. I was catching up with Michael last week when he asked about someone (Ryan) in a video I showed him from the "Curiosity Quest" retreat I co-hosted with John Davie... Long story short, Ryan, Michael, and I got on a call back in October. The coolest part? When I had Michael tell an AMAZING story... ... and then had Ryan translate that story into a drink that would tell that story in liquid form. It was honestly one of the COOLEST conversations I've ever been a part of. Thinking of calling this "Brilliance Blending™" where I bring two masters of their craft into a conversation... Anyways... this episode is the byproduct of that conversation. It was too good NOT to turn into an episode! Ryan and Michael, thank you for the epic conversation! Want to go deeper with Michael and Ryan? Check out episodes #134 and #135 to listen to my conversations with Ryan. And check out episodes #36 and #37 to hear my conversations with Michael!

Here’s the story: - In 2017, Braxton delivered a speech to 1,200 middle school students, gifting them "I Believe in You" stickers with the encouragement to pay it forward. The stickers went viral & sparked a wave of kindness throughout the school and community. - Braxton transformed the stickers into bracelets, designed to be worn until one is inspired to give them away. - The initiative quickly took off, with 16,000 bracelets sold across the US and 11 different countries. - The stories that emerged from these bracelets ranged from brightening days, empowering dreams, and even saving lives. - To seamlessly showcase these impactful experiences, each NFC-equipped bracelet allows users to connect their bracelet to the app, and add an inspiring message to the bracelet, creating a shared lineage of stories for everyone who has ever received that specific bracelet to see.

#141: Why 10x Is EASIER Than 2x w/ Dr. Benjamin Hardy
June 27, 2023 • 76 MIN
After doing my annual 2022 "year review" I found out that I read 51 books, recorded 63 podcast episodes, and took 26 courses. 10x Is Easier Than 2x was one of the best books I read… and has led to a massive upgrade in the way that I’m approaching life. I was incredibly grateful that Ben sent me an early release copy… and I’ve been SO excited for the book to come out for others to read it. The book is finally out now, and of course I had Ben on to talk about it. ALSO… This is the FIRST interview episode of Beyond Curious™, and that was incredibly intentional. Beyond Curious™ is absolutely my next “10x” and has required me to massively upgrade my identity and mindset. If you’ve listened to the show, you know that one of my favorite quotes is by Michelangelo when he was speaking about how he sculpted the David — “I saw the angel in the marble and I carved until I set him free”. I believe that life is about subtracting what doesn’t belong so that you can build a life around the most authentic version of yourself. That is the premise of this entire book — 10X is fundamentally about quality vs quantity. If you really want to evolve every component of your life, it requires radical simplification, and then expansion of the simplification. If you want to radically upgrade your identity and simplify your life while getting more results… this is for you.

Today's special BONUS episode is a continuation of episode #134 with Ryan Castelaz! Ryan is the founder and creative director of Discourse Coffee, which Growler Magazine called “the most gonzo, balls-to-the-wall, experimental coffee house.” For example… One of my FAVORITE drinks Ryan makes is called “Motorhead”. Here’s the section from his book describing the drink: “Apologies in advance to our vegan friends, but when life gives you pork fat and apple cores, you make caramel. While that's not how the saying goes, the pork fat lends an unctuous umami flavor to this sumptuous caramel, perfectly offset by bright, juicy apple, courtesy of homemade apple powder, which will provide the cores for your caramel. Delicious hot or iced, Motorhead is metalhead magic in a mug.” Ryan is a freaking mad scientist and his drinks are INCREDIBLE. If you’re a coffee lover, buying his new book, The New Art Of Coffee, is a NON-NEGOTIABLE. So: Not only is this episode special because it’s with a dear friend… but it’s also the first ever time I recorded an episode in person! Ryan’s crazy coffee brain and experiments + us really knowing each other (Ryan’s an avid listener of the show) + us being in person made this an INCREDIBLY fun episode.

While that's not how the saying goes, the pork fat lends an unctuous umami flavor to this sumptuous caramel, perfectly offset by bright, juicy apple, courtesy of homemade apple powder, which will provide the cores for your caramel. Delicious hot or iced, Motorhead is metalhead magic in a mug.” Ryan is a freaking mad scientist and his drinks are INCREDIBLE. If you’re a coffee lover, buying his new book, The New Art Of Coffee, is a NON-NEGOTIABLE. So: Not only is this episode special because it’s with a dear friend… but it’s also the first ever time I recorded an episode in person! Ryan’s crazy coffee brain and experiments + us really knowing each other (Ryan’s an avid listener of the show) + us being in person made this an INCREDIBLY fun episode. I can’t WAIT for you to listen to this one! To learn more about Ryan, visit https://7figuremillennials.com/podcast/ryan-castelaz-pt1/

Luckily, both his mom and a good samaritan helped save his life that day… but what followed that moment is what made me so excited to bring Brian on the show.

Something far beyond a basic land mobile demonstration. What could we possibly do to stave off AT&T’s takeover of cellular? Then it hit me. We needed to make a phone call.” In this episode, you’ll get to hear the tale from the legend himself… and how he actually ended up creating the cell phone over a period of only three months.
