Matthew Melvin is the author of Bullied Behind Bars: A Gay Christian Trump Supporter Goes to Prison. It is his memoir that chronicles his lonely childhood, being misunderstood in large part due to his adult diagnosis of autism and being a gay Christian Trump supporter, and the events that led him to a stint of federal prison.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. A mental health court would prevent somebody from actually going to prison, provided they showed up on a weekly basis and provided they didn't pick up any additional charges.
2. If your experience or you have somebody that's experiencing bully bullying, stand up for it. Get other people to help you get rid of it. Don't let the bully bully everybody, and don't let the bully force everybody out of the community.
3. People with autism have problems with social communication and interaction, repetitive behaviors and interests occur quite often.

2. Time is first. It's not only about making more money but we've got to have a life.
3. Just take one little step. We call it laying the bricks on the entrepreneurial brick road. If you never lay the bricks, you're never going to get to freedom.

Sam Olawale is a multi 8+ figure entrepreneur who finds the genius in other people, creates revolutionary products and uses the power of storytelling through social media to build brands.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. When you can take the time to find that genius in others and recruit brilliant people and get them to rally around the cause and mission bigger than themselves, bigger than you, and then take these people and bring them together to be greater than the sum of their parts.
2. Without a phenomenal product, bringing innovation to a marketplace is going to be very difficult. Instead of fighting over a red ocean. Build a blue ocean for you to swim in and grow into. You need to bring innovation.
3. Most of the time, it's not your product that's slowing you down or stopping you. It's not your marketing, it's your inability to build systems and hire brilliant people to execute on those systems.

Top 3 Vlaue Bombs:
1. Marketing is where you generate the leads, and selling is where you convert the leads.
2. The biggest obstacle is having an audience that has already experienced the offer you have from someone else - and they had a bad experience.
3. The great thing about marketing is that it puts an offer in front of someone who is already looking for that offer, and selling tries to convince them that the offer is a good proposal.

Sam Carlson has operated a SMMA offering Facebook Ads as a service since 2015. Today he's transformed his service based business into a SaaS model and entirely change how agencies can make money now.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. The most important thing is, “Who are we serving?”
2. Local businesses are great at potentially running their business. The one thing that they're not great at, and it's ironic, is getting business or acquiring new customers.
3. SAAS: If it can accomplish the same thing as the SMMA but at a lower price - and put the control of marketing in the hands of the business owner - then that's winning.

Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. Bigger goals simplify the process enormously.
2. Unique ability is about stripping away everything that you think you need or everything you think other people think you need and solely focusing on what you most want, that which is most intrinsically motivating, that which is most exciting that which you think has infinite upside.
3. Deliberate practice is really the idea of purposeful practice towards a goal. It's not about quantity of practice, it's not about quantity of reps. It's about the quality of those reps based on a goal or a standard that you're working towards.
