This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Mitch Matthews.

Mitch is a best-selling author, a keynote speaker, and one of the most respected success coaches in the world — the kind of coach that Brendon Burchard calls "the go-to guy for helping people launch coaching careers." He's the host of the wildly popular DREAM THINK DO podcast, which reaches thousands of people around the world every single week, and he's spoken for organizations ranging from NASA and Disney to universities and Fortune 500 companies, blending powerful storytelling and real, implementable strategy with a stand-up-comedy delivery style.

But here's what I really want to get into with Mitch today. He's spent his career helping high-achievers — people who've already built a life and career they're proud of — navigate that quiet pull toward something more. Not burnout, exactly, but that sense that the next chapter needs to be bolder, more aligned, more you. He helps people dream bigger, think better, and do more of what they were put on this planet to do — and he's especially gifted at helping experienced professionals turn their hard-won wisdom into thriving coaching and speaking businesses. So whether you're feeling that pull to build something new, or you want to turn your experience into your next act, this one's for you.

Many years ago, I introduced a new format alongside our regular episodes called "Lessons for Hannah." Hannah is my daughter and one of the main inspirations for the Misfit Entrepreneur. I wanted to have a place where she could go and learn from her dad and his Misfit friends throughout her life… even after I am gone. If you haven't listened to the first episode of Lessons for Hannah, I urge you to do so as it gives some more background and tells the amazing story of how Hannah came to be in our lives.

Lessons for Hannah are short, very useful, and sometimes comical lessons that I want to share with you and give to Hannah to help in your lives. Because I want Hannah to have these for her life, I'm going to speak as though I am talking directly to her. These episodes are a lot of fun, and if you think there is a lesson that we should include in these episodes, please don't hesitate to send it over to us at support@misfitentrepreneur.com. We'd love to share it.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Yanik Silver — and this is one I've been genuinely looking forward to, because Yanik might be one of the truest misfits I've ever had on this show.

Yanik started out as a classic bootstrapping entrepreneur, writing his first sales letter and building a string of successful companies from scratch — he's the author of best-selling books like Maverick Startup, 34 Rules for Maverick Entrepreneurs, and Evolved Enterprise. But somewhere along the way, he did something most successful entrepreneurs never do: he asked whether business could be about more than just profit. That question led him to create Maverick1000 — an invitation-only global network of top entrepreneurs that's been called "the world's weirdest mastermind." This is a group where you might find Yanik running with the bulls, flying MiG jets, doing zero-gravity flights, or wearing matching mermaid tails with Sir Richard Branson on Necker Island — all while these entrepreneurs grow their companies and give millions back to the world.

His whole philosophy lives at the intersection of three words: growth, impact, and fun. He believes business can be the single biggest lever for changing the world, and his lifetime goal is to connect visionary leaders to help solve 100 of the world's biggest problems by the year 2100. So today we're going to get into how he built all of this, why fun and impact aren't distractions from success but accelerators of it, and how any entrepreneur can build a business and a life — that actually matters.
