On this episode of the Michael Valdes Global Podcast, I interview Rico Leon. Rico is the host of the upcoming TV show on the HGTV Network, “Rico to the Rescue.” This show is the culmination of Rico’s experience in real estate. He started in construction, then moved into selling real estate when he figured he could make more money that way. His background in construction gave him a different perspective than most agents, and he was able to more effectively serve his clients. As someone who knows construction, he’s also seen how bad contractors can really screw up a renovation, and his empathy toward his clients has led him to advocate for them. In his new show, Rico to the Rescue, he saves homeowners from bad construction contractors. Watch this episode to hear his background and the lessons he’s learned from building and selling homes.

John DeMartini, author of 40 books on personal development, was a success story no one expected. He literally did not know how to read well into his teenage years. He expected at the time that his career would go no further than working at a surf shop, but a chance encounter with alternative medicine pracitioner Paul C. Bragg led him to a breakthrough in his mindset. He had a vision of himself becoming a teacher one day, and he taught himself how to read and how to speak eloquently to achieve that goal.
Paul C. Bragg taught him an affirmation to say to himself every day: I am a genius when I apply my wisdom.” He used that wisdom to pass his G.E.D. exam. He used that wisdom to learn philosophy and reasoning skills. He used that wisdom to teach himself to speed read and how to absorb knowledge every day.
Having seen the success of this affirmation, when he was only an 18-year old student at Wharton, other students approached him and asked them to teach them the meditation and yoga practices that he did every day. As he taught more and more, he knew he had broken through when he heard another student whisper to another, “This guy’s a genius.”
He realized the power of that affirmation, and what’s more, he could create the life he wanted if he expanded that statement and lived his expanded affirmation every day. He wrote other affirmations and power statements, over 20 pages of them, and he keeps it on his computer and even updates it from time to time to this day.
He had a breakthrough when he realized that he wanted to go from “genius” to “mastery.” He worked on what the definition of mastery was and how to accomplish it. His “masterful life” plan went from a few sentences to 33 volumes, and every day he works to achieve that mastery, because remember that mastery is a journey, not a destination.
John DeMartini went from a “stupid” kid who couldn’t read to a “genius” in a few short years by having the breakthrough that his history is not his destiny. He was able to shape the life he wanted and live is by having a breakthrough in his mindset.

KPI stands for key performance indicator. Usually, this refers to the amount of money that a business is making. The most common KPIs are Revenue, Profit margin, and client retention.
KPI is usually limited to what can actually be measured. Businesses are constantly creating and reviewing data. But personal KPIs are a new concept. It isn’t exactly practical, for example, to carry around a notepad and make a note every time you tell your spouse you
love them, and then take some graph paper and make a line graph at the end of the month.
The internet of things (IoT), also called “wearable tech” can track things we never thought possible only a decade ago. Things like real-time blood sugar levels, your heart rate 24 hours a day, your REM sleep, etc.
On this episode of the Michael Valdes Global Podcast, I interview Jairek Robbins. One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is how much I learned about how he tracks personal KPIs using wearable tech. Here are three of the things he tracks, and how:
Mood Meter
Measuring your emotions has come a long way since mood rings in 1975. Today we have apps that can track your mood. When you open the app, it gives you a range of emotions and energy levels to choose from, and tracks it for you.
Levels: Blood Sugar
Diabetics would track their blood sugar by taking a sample of blood, sometimes several times a day. This would be a painful process, not to mention it’s hard to keep needles safely organized and then dispose of them when you are done. Today, it’s so easy to track your blood sugar by using a patch that you can wear on your arm that people in good health and even elite athletes opt to wear a patch to monitor their blood sugar levels and get insights to their diet and behavior.
Health Apps/Phone Pedometers
Phones today have built in sensors that can act as pedometers. It’s pretty common to hear people talking about getting their “10,000 steps in” because you can burn one pound of fat if you take 10,000 steps every day. Just because your phone tracks it doesn’t necessarily mean that you actually look at the phone and keep track. If you track the data by opening the app and making adjustments to your behavior, you will increase your personal KPIs.
If you want to learn more about how to track your health, watch this episode to see how Jairek Robbins does it. These are just a few of the insights and personal stories that Jairek shares on this episode of the podcast.
