About The Lifestyle Business Podcast

Mentions around the web:

“Go check out … Dan & Ian talk about the side of things that support the wide-eyed, idealistic orgy of good intention commonly called lifestyle design. Seriously, it’s probably being liberal to say for every 1,000 people preaching “the why”, there’s 1 hammering out “the how” of a lifestyle business…” David Walsh of Muselife.com

Anyone who wants to live the dream & have a rockin’ biz, @TropicalMBA & @AnythingIan’s podcast is the f***ing BEST. Get ON it. Cody McKibben of ThrillingHeroics.com

“I was impressed by what Dan and Ian have set up, a real business that provides real products to individuals and businesses, not just your average information product marketing. Dan and Ian host a pod-cast called the Lifestyle Business Podcast which you should check out because those two guys are the real deal and know what they are talking about.” – Nomadic Neil of NomadicNeil.com

“They have a different approach, they have a business that allows them to dictate their own schedules, they aren’t [just dudes] with a blog… they have a tangible business… its a more scalable approach.” Adam Baker of Man vs. Debt.

“If the gym could turn the radio off and put your podcast on, it’d make me really happy…” Tyrone Shum of MassOutsource.com

About Ian

I am an entrepreneur with a strong passion for building businesses and creating the ultimate lifestyle full of personal freedom.  Early on in my career rules were broken and businesses were built from hard work and the desire to pursue an independent lifestyle.  I am also a product designer with a keen sense for sniffing out profitable opportunities in niche markets and developing tangible hard good products. My work has been featured, ridiculed, and sold around the globe.

My plan is to take people on this amazing journey and to give an insider’s look into how to take your business and make it your passion……We want to show you how to achieve your ideal life though the things you love to do, for me it’s my obsession with design coupled with the desire to make things happen in the market place. You can contact me @ ian [at] lifestylebusinesspodcast.com

About Dan

I’m an avid traveler and reader.  I believe strongly in the power of business as a vehicle to achieve personal freedom and change people’s lives for the better.  I love sharing that passion with others over beer, a podcast, twitter, or smoke signals, if necessary.

We started internship program called the Tropical MBA. Check it out!

“It has turned out to be the best thing that has ever happened to me. It enabled me to live the lifestyle I wanted while learning all the skills that I felt like I never had the time to learn… to be able to come in at a very high level of a successful company, to learn from a couple guys who have been doing this for a while and really know what they are talking about– you can’t beat that. I think the potential for the Tropical MBA in the future is huge because of that.” Sean from Location180.com, currently enrolled.

From the TropicalMBA.com…

I believe that building profitable businesses is the best way to achieve the lifestyle you desire. I’m doing my damnest to help as many along that path as I can, through our paid internship, my podcast, my outsourcing blog, my consulting work, and by responding to as many reader emails as I can.

I am helping to create a global, multi-million dollar business from my laptop and sharing my thoughts here along the way. I’m doing it with some truly awesome people (like @AnythingIan, and @SeanOgle) just to name a few!

If you are looking for inspiration or tips on how to make your business more fun to run, or if you are looking to start your own lifestyle business, we should totally hang out!

The TropicalMBA started as a paid internship to an aspiring location independent professional. I wanted to share my passion for travel, entrepreneurship, and my business with somebody who wanted to make a big change in their life. That’s working out great, and you can learn more about our internships here.

The mission of my business and podcast is to provide a platform for my team members to achieve their own personal freedom and lifestyle goals.

I spend a lot of time consulting with others who are trying to grow their businesses. I specialize in helping CEO’s of small to medium sized businesses (generally $5oo,ooo annually and upward) who want to create rapid growth, jump in to new markets, integrate tech solutions, and make all that sustainable. As a business person I am ruthlessly focused on growth, because I believe that ambitious approaches to life, and business in general are way more fun.
