11/07/24

Jeff Boyd is the founder of MTE (More Than Energy), research-based wellness supplement that seeks to help you thrive by boosting your focus, productivity, and overall well-being.  Jeff shares how health has always been a focus and passion for him, starting back when he grew up as an athlete.  He then shares his entrepreneurial path and what it takes to go out and build something on your own.  Throughout, you’ll learn that Jeff is sincere in his quest to bring people health and wellness through is product and that he values living by a high standard that starts at home with his family and extends to his friends and beyond.

Takeaways:

Some of the specific takeaways from our conversation:

1. The story about Damon West.  Damon’s story is amazing, and he will be a guest on this show, but this point is not about him.  It’s about how his friend, Jeff, stuck with him through thick and thin – including when Damon went completely off the rails in a very bad way.  We always talk about bringing winning and class with you into every area of your lives – this is a great example of doing this with your friends.  It would’ve been very easy for Jeff to write Damon off, and he didn’t.  

2. After Jeff sold his first business, he talks about the freedom he had in terms of his next move.  This is what financial success gives you and what should be focused on – and look what he chose to do.  The conversation wasn’t about THINGS – it was about Jeff  finding a passion and using it to build something that will help bring health and wellness to others.  Is it a business?  Yes.  Is he out to win in business? Yes, but he cares deeply about making sure that his product truly serves his customers.  Pretty good winning with class plan for a business…

3. A related point – Jeff maintains high standards for his product as he made clear when he stated its first customer is HIM and his family.  So, as he said, no corners will be cut. This is what it means to be genuine and accountable and how we should approach all of our pursuits.

4. Great story about how Jeff’s entrepreneurial spirit started – during his job at Arby’s.  This is a great way to look at every job you have – own all of the aspects of YOUR JOB as its own small business and then make sure it’s then done to the absolute best of your ability. Instead of seeing some of your jobs while growing up as just meaningless parts of a big business, treat them like YOUR own little small business and manage it like no other.  This seems to have served Jeff well.

5. One of Jeff’s main points about blazing his own trail in business is that there is no room for excuses.  It’s a results driven game and if something happens, it’s on the person in the mirror - YOU.  Again..pretty good way to remain accountable.

6. Jeff makes a great point about how high school football helped teach him to live by this “no excuses” mentality.  As Jeff tells the story, none of his coaches cared about the Jeff’s teammate’s excuse of being held when the other team scored….Bottom line is the other team scored.  This is a great way to live – forget coming up with excuses and focus on the results. 

7. Jeff makes a great and timely point about our society in general – how we’re all WAY more alike than we’ve been programmed to believe recently.  It’s time to get back to focusing on what we have in common as opposed to how we are different.
