139: John Lee Dumas: How To Achieve Your No. 1 Goal in Just 100 Days

My guest in this episode is John Lee Dumas. JLD is an American
entrepreneur and podcaster based in Puerto Rico. He is the
founder and host of EOFire, a daily podcast that interviews
entrepreneurs 7 days a week. JLD was born and raised in Maine.
He graduated from Providence College on an Army ROTC
scholarship in 2002. Upon graduation he was commissioned as an
officer in the U.S. Army. After a 13-month tour of duty
in Iraq as an Armor Platoon Leader, he completed his
service to the U.S. Army and received an honorable discharge in
2010. Upon leaving the U.S. Army, JLD enrolled at Roger
Williams University School of Law in Bristol, Rhode
Island. Dropping out after one semester, he took a job in corporate
finance at John Hancock in Boston. Later, he went to New
York City, where he worked for a technology startup until departing
to San Diego in 2009 In San Diego, JLD began a career in real
estate. Upon a friend's suggestion, he began listening to podcasts
in order to pass the time during his long drives. He started
listening to NPR, while exploring other shows such as Pat
Flynn’s Smart Passive Income and Cliff Ravenscraft’s Podcast Answer
Man. After moving back to Maine in mid-2011 to pursue a career in
Commercial Real Estate, Dumas thought of starting a different
venture. He realized none of his favorite Podcasts offered daily
content. This gave him the idea of starting his own podcast. He
developed the concept of a daily podcast that would feature the
story of successful entrepreneurs. He named it EOFire, short for
Entrepreneur On Fire. EOFire launched September 22, 2012. As his
subscribers grew, he published Podcast Launch in the
Amazon bookstore. Podcast Launch is a guide of the exact
steps he took to launch EOFire. In 2013, JLD launched Podcasters’
Paradise, a community of podcasters. JLD hosts a free,
live Google Hangout Podcast Workshop as an introduction
to podcasting every other week. EOFire has featured several
entrepreneurs including Seth Godin, Gary
Vaynerchuk, Barbara Corcoran, Tim Ferriss, and Brian
Tracy. The show was named Best of iTunes in 2013. EOFire
generates 7 figures in revenue annually and JLD continues to openly
share his income breakdown in a monthly report on his site,
verified by a CPA. In 2016, JLD launched The Freedom Journal, a
faux leather-bound journal to help individuals set and accomplish a
goal in 100 days. JLD launched The Freedom Journal via
a Kickstarter campaign in January 2016, which became one
of the most funded publishing campaigns in the history of
Kickstarter, with over $350,000 pledged in 33 days.
