We’re speaking with the host of the Winner’s Paradigm podcast, Alundas Havens. Having just launched his podcast a month ago, Alundas has already seen great success. On his podcast, Alundas dives deep into the psychology of all the things that make us who we are. With a childhood of trauma, Alundas noticed he had a hard time grasping certain concepts in life. Recognizing incidents from his childhood as being responsible for these difficulties, Alundas began to hone in on self-improvement. He decided a podcast would be a great way to detail where he came from, what contributed to whom he became, and how he overcame and rewired his mind.

With a father and grandfather that had been in the military, Alundas saw joining as just another way to prove himself. Not to mention, it was a promising route for an 18-year-old that had been kicked out of their house. Alundas knew he could stay in the situation he was in, or he could get out and start a new life. He says when he first joined, they were still in the old mentality of everything being black or white. While Alundas was happy to see this mentality change, he credits learning this mindset with changing his whole perspective on life and business. Furthermore, he says being responsible for others in a leadership position taught him about taking ownership.

When he found himself dialing in his strategy for his podcast, Alundas said the mindset of complete ownership was an asset. Having a family and going to school full time, Alundas had to ask himself if this was something he could really take on. He says it all came down to being intentional with allotting time. So, long as he gave it the time it deserved, the podcast took off.

Alundas says the toughest part of starting was just fighting that fear of whether you really have what it takes. He found himself combatting this insecurity by reaching out to people that know about business and starting a podcast. This included joining Power Moves Academy and picking Paul and Tim’s brains. Alundas honed in on what he was doing and got resourceful. Joining a mastermind group has equipped Alundas with knowledge and resources, but it’s also allowed him to network with others that are doing what he wants to be doing. This helped Alundas to go from waiting for this or that, to making it happen. He says the group gives him inspiration as well as accountability.

When it comes to his vision for 5 years down the road, Alundas hopes to still be podcasting with a larger outreach and higher level of guests. Beyond the podcast, Alundas wants to help businesses rebuild and to do one on one calls with people. He also hopes to find a place in public speaking. All in all, Alundas wants to make an impact on his community. His new year's resolution for 2022 is to develop a strategic business plan that will not only help him to accomplish those things, but will steer him towards investing in stocks and real estate.

Tim reminds Alundas to look at his gifts as superpowers because that’s where flow and momentum come from. He encourages Alundas to always be real with his audience, to show that he doesn’t have it all figured out. Allow the podcast to document your progress of becoming an expert over time. Tim would bet that over 50% of potential podcasters think about starting and then drop out. So, what’s to keep Alundas from the same fate? He says he simply thinks about what he wants, what his values are, and then he asks himself if he’s living up to it.
