This is the quickest one hour and 25 minutes I’ve ever ever experienced 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The person who you're meant to serve is who you once were.... A WORD!!!

[@Priyadarshan_Nag]

Finally someone who is the real deal when it comes to personal branding. I am saving this video so I can watch it again. It is literally loaded with incredible value!

[@OmarEltakrori]

Appreciate it fam! It's a rich convo!

[@Savette_]

I can't say enough how much this episode has given me direction. I was just making plans to split my focus, but now I know I should just continue building until it's the right time. Also, I appreciate you keeping the religious parts in. It's nice to see Rory Vader standing in his truth instead of holding back for fear of listeners be put off. Makes him feel like a full human being, regardless whether or not my beliefs align with his. Love the channel. Keep up the great work 👍🏾

[@OmarEltakrori]

Thank you so much Savette!

[@twonrichpo1126]

Exactly. A huge help

[@lauradiaz6170]

Simply brilliant! Thanks for bringing this amazing guest to the podcast, Omar!

[@OmarEltakrori]

Thank you for keeping it locked in! You're the best!

[@BrithneyWilliams214]

The amount of gems and strategy in this podcast crazy!!!

[@StephanyCoffer]

Today is my 30th birthday, this is the best gift, i feel like i have battled with spreading myself thin, but this decade is about to get laser focus good!!! Thank you Omar for amazing episode, thank you for reminding us that being obedient to god is the #1 thing that is important in this entrepreneurial journey!!!

[@OmarEltakrori]

Happy Birthday! Best decade of your life starts today!

[@mamaworkn3717]

It’s the hitting of the WALL.. and the breaking down of WHY YOU HAVE TO FOCUS ON ONE THING.. and it’s funny when you look at platforms this way.. because the complete OPPOSITE is being pushed. I will be back a few more times in the next days HELL the next few months to REPLAY THIS EPISODE BECAUSE THIS WAS CRAZY AND AN EYE OPENER FOR SURE. Love you OMAR!

[@OmarEltakrori]

Appreciate you! So many gems in this episode!

[@GabrielRyanCo]

"You are best equipped to serve the person you once were" What an epic perspective to find alignment in your work & in your mission.

[@OmarEltakrori]

Right!

[@michellemoragne-morris3441]

This is one of the BEST podcasts I have heard in ma while. Talk about revealing TRUTH and getting you focused on the right thing. It's a hard truth no one wants to talk about bc it's not "fun or appealing"... I am a new fan of Rory. Great podcast 🎉

[@OmarEltakrori]

🔥🔥

[@theryanlee]

The moment you started with a quote and gave it PROPER ATTRIBUTION instead of claiming it as your own... you won me over. Well done, Rory!

[@OmarEltakrori]

He's a real one!

[@shellenewright]

Every time I hear Rory Vaden speak I feel like I know what my exact next step is. Like, what I’m doing & building IS tangible with the right steps. He’s incredible at speaking to his core person. Great talk!

[@azpersonal]

Omar, this is one of the most brilliant people you have brought to this space. I wish I could buy you a thank-you coffee it was that good!

[@OmarEltakrori]

Rain check!

[@MikeEalyVideos]

Success is rented and the rent is due every day.. This was by far one the best videos. So much info

[@TheRoadtoHealth]

I think that too many people want quick results and are not willing to invest in improving the world for the next generation. Improvements come from understanding what is good for humans versus "just" the finances. We need to be good people.

[@jeffryesmeralda]

Ouuuu 🔥! This vid is next level, Omar! “The One Thing”, “Digitization of Reputation”, “Focus on One Income first”, “Sheahan Wall”, Diluted Focus -> Diluted Results”, “Power of Results & Reach”, and more. I think the best part is how unapologetic you are when sharing about the gospel. I really appreciate you, your style and purposeful content man. I’ve been watching your content since when you’re with Think Media which helped me decide on many of my creative gear. Keep on creating bro! Subscribed!

[@OmarEltakrori]

This means a lot Jeff! Appreciate you for following the journey fam! I'll keep it going!

[@jeffryesmeralda]

@@OmarEltakrori 💯 & keep on spreading THE WORD of JESUS, brother!

[@leadgenjay]

Great insights on personal branding from Rory. One key to further amplifying your brand is consistently providing value in a niche where you can be the go-to expert. This builds a loyal community that can advocate for your brand. It's not just about being known; it's about being known for something specific.

[@adeolaakinsanya]

This is powerful! I'm definitely listening to this again ...

[@recipesandhospitalitywithclara]

I'm grateful for this conversation. Rory always offers so much value!

[@RayvenMichelle]

MAN! This whole thing was MIND BLOWING! And provided me with so much clarity! Thank you, Omar, for having Rory on the podcast, and thank you, Rory, for sharing your gifting with us. PS That ending was SO CUTE! "What's a bar?"

Omar, I just found your KZbin channel last week and I’ve been listening to every video non-stop. Thank you for doing what you do. I’ve found your videos extremely helpful for my personal brand.

[@OmarEltakrori]

that means so much! thank you!!

[@queency04]

Best episode Omar! You have done so much for me in this episode because struggled to see the one path I should focus on in my business and in one episode with Rory you did just that! As a minister it’s easy to be accepted in the coaching industry with premium programs so I kept doing low stuff here and there and was truly exhausted. I have my call with Rory’s team. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work and may God continue to bless you

[@OmarEltakrori]

It's crazy when things get clear! I too while he was talking got clarity on what to stop doing, and start doing more of!!

[@savvybudgetgirl]

Wonderful interview and worth the time spent diving into brands, faith, and so much more. Thanks in particular for the talk about faith!

Great message! I am inspired and want to improve. Thanks Omar! Go Jesus!

[@benjaminwhite1891]

Wow.. an amazing conversation. Inspired to go deeper instead of trying to go wider

[@Loetofficial]

Find what problem you solve, for me it is emotional support and connection. Music has the unique ability to uplift spirits, soothe troubled minds, and create a sense of belonging with the audience

[@nikki_abundant]

This is sooo good. I’m going to listen again! Too many takeaways to type.

[@sharlenealicep]

I just worked through Rory's four questions with tears streaming down my face. I already knew God was calling, but now the mission is clear. Rory #1: "Who do you serve? (One word) - the more specific, the more terrific. Your why is often a who. You are most powerfully positioned to serve the person you once were. The fastest way to get clear on who you are is to say, what challenges have you conquered? What have you overcome? What setbacks have you survived? What tragedy have you triumphed over?" Me: Foster Kids Rory #2: "What problem do you solve? (One word)" Me: Separation Rory #3: "How do I solve that problem? (One sentence)-This is your message. What's the one thing you want people to do after reading your book or listening to you talk?" Me: "I educate people on the power of ADOPTION and inspire them to support (Protect, home, love, walk with, hear, see, value, celebrate, acknowledge, talk about, care for, rescue, and adopt) Foster Kids." Rory #4: "What ONE revenue stream matters above all others? - Where do you over-deliver? What's the one thing you do really, really well?" Me: Writing & Speaking [Blow their minds...utilize your craft as a spoken word poet/artist.] I can't thank you enough, Omar. God used your podcast to wake up my soul.
