Frank Kern "Interviews" Eben Pagan

Well, I have to say that this was one of the most UNPREDICTABLE interview I've ever done.

I asked Frank to interview me... to help anyone who might be interested in joining the Guru MasterMind understand the program, why I created it, and what to expect inside.

As usual, Frank had his own agenda!

And yes, this is EXACTLY what it's like to hang out with him in real life. I've never had someone actually drink alcohol on a teleclass interview, but there's a first for everything. Obviously.

You're going to get to learn a lot about me, my early influences, and who I am as a person. More than I EVER expected to share. Hopefully, it will give you a perspective that you didn't have before.

And you'll DEFINITELY get a kick out of listening to me talking to Frank.

Leave me a comment to let me know what you think of this one!

Hi Eben, I'm watching the video links you sent. I didn't get through all of them YET,because I had to stop and send you my comments. Please put my name on your next presentation. I wish you would present a class in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, home of the Crimson Tide. They have all the motels and restaurants, etc. needed for your classes. But, whether that's possible or not, please put my name on your list. Is it possible to get the locations for your next classes? Thanks, Jackie Harper

Hi Eben. I know what you mean about feeling ashamed because you were poor. I grew up with a solo mother in state houses in New Zealand. I loved the way you explained giving value: give $100 of value & receive $10 in return. I'm also having 'error opening file' @34 min. Do you a downloadable mp3 version? You've been my mentor as David D. Just wrote an ebook that's dedicated to you. Writing the copy now & making the website. Using your "tell a story" tip from your David Deutch interview. Looking forward to signing up to the guru mastermind and I hope you like the ebook. I've actually positioned it as an "MVP": a "Massive Value Product"

Hey Eben great call enjoyed it very much. I really liked what you said about "CREATING VALUE" I had heard it a thousand times before but the way you explained it really made sense. I hope to join your next Mastermind program. Keep up the great work. Jon Davis www.mobilebizcard.com

To be honest, at some points I would have LOVED to stuff a sock in Frank's mouth... Anyway, the content was great and I still have to thank both of you for doing that interview. It's just fascinating to hear you talk, Eben.

Hi Eben, I was touched by your background and story. Your voice and words absolutely resonate with me.. I would absolutely love to join your programme.. I live in Ireland.. any chance you would roll out a programme for this side of the globe?? All the best, Louise

Dude massive respect, you helped me in all the parts of my life and i will definatly give back to you what i got from you.

Hi Eben, Got to hear this call live when it first aired and it was so rich in content that I wanted to listen to it again and take notes. Unfortunately, your replay crashes with an "error opening file" problem at 34 minutes and 42 seconds into the replay. Great stuff though! Hope you eventually get the replay working in its entirety. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to learning from you... Best regards, Michael Michael D. Walker Zentimental

Three pages of notes, deep thought and many chuckles. The discussion of your personal life was a gift to all of us. Thank you for sharing what sounded like an uncomfortable time during your life. Your Mastermind group is exactly what I'm looking for. I intend to be ready to attend your next session. Thank you again for sharing your inner self with us. Oh...someone needs to cut Frank off at two absinthe. According to Webster's Collegiate Dictionary Fifth Addition, "It's continued use causes nervous derangement." Or..oh no! perhaps it's too late. LOL

Eb, from trailer to living on the beach...you da man now! In all seriousness, I've been following your progress for a while now, and you are the real deal. I have introduced you to my group of born broke, poverty-minded friends (my old self included). Btw, you need some more color in your mastermind. ...and I just happen to know a guy who's been unlocking his UNLIMITED potential just in time to type this message. I believe in your cause man, and you're doing it the RIGHT WAY. I celebrate what you're about. To your ontinued success... your friend, partner, and brother from another mother.

Dear Eben: A question: Your intention to give out as much free information as possible, to as many people as possible, is right in line with what I always wanted to do, and dear to my heart. I am a technical writing guru, who can explain things twenty times faster, and better, than usual, and am falsely feared, and hated by the teaching, and academic professions. They wrongly think that my super simple, super fast instruction methods will leave them jobless. They would actually become more valuable. They would be needed for guiding the many drills, practical applications, inner game, correctional procedures, and many other things. I can train others, although in depth mastery of the methods is a lifetime job. Committees can be very useful to bring valuable group consciousnes to bear upon certain parts of this activity. Maybe we can work together. My question is, are you interested in this kind of assistance? If you are interested, I can mail you a sample of my work.

Hi Eben... I've listened to, literally, hundreds of teleseminars over the last 2 years... you guys got right into the guts of me. You... and Frank, were just SPOT ON Eben. If the footwork for the "headwork" hasn't been done, then life is just one mised opportunity after another. Thanks for showing so much of yourself Eben... This is possibly the most hard hitting call I've ever heard... thanks so VERY much.... Please pass my thanks on to Frank too. Warm regards.

Posted by: Dave Yates | 10:06 PM

You're right...frank does bring out the "personal person" when he interviews....that's a natural talent. I can totally relate to your background. Your new life story?? That's my vision, helping people changing lives. Thanks again :o) myspace--whatiknownow / youtube--AskAnAlaskan Annette Ulmer

Eban..the business suite pro.. Frank..the guy in San Diego who looks and talks like he's smoking something...(hm..wonder what would happen if he actually went after the professional market who have all the money)... At any rate, very interesting...

In the spirit of Frank and Eben's brilliant comments here, are there any aspiring or seasoned entrepreneurs interested in forming a MasterMind group in London, UK? Get in touch via terrykyle2@yahoo.com

Hi Eben I've watched a few of your videos now, and listened with interest to your audios.You've always come across as very professional and 'polished'.Now, thanks to Frank Kerns unique interviewing technique, we realise that there is a 'real' person behind the $20million a year business.

Posted by: Graham in U.K. | 04:05 PM

Eben, Great interview! Really got to know you much better. Frank didn't do anything out of the ordinary for Frank :-) Makes you want to get a hold of some of that green stuff from Czechlosylvakia (very bad spelling I know).

Posted by: Liz | 11:52 AM

Very good interview, lots of important content. Frank and Eben are different but have a common message. The part of training yourself to think prosperous and wealthy, (i.e. Napoleon Hill and NLP) was important hearing that again and from someone who has done it with their own wealth building. Thanks to Frank and Eben. PS, a down loadable file for say an iPod would be great.

brilliant call. FRank. you're freakin nuts. there's a bottle of Absynthe with your name on it here in Manchester UK if you're ever in the area. Eben, brilliant, and I really think that 'you're the sum of the people you hang with' is so true. luckily, listening to calls like this makes me feel like I'm spending time with you guys. It's lucky because all my friends are deadbeats!! ha ha. thanks again, and hi to everybody visiting the site. feel free to swing by mine to show some love. cheers, Tony.

this conversation was a rare gift... Frank, with absinthe in hand, and the ocean still dripping from his trunks, opts for the Chthonic aspect of Internet Marketing while Eben relaxes into the role of Spiritual aspect... though portraying opposites, niether are overly identified with their role. Instead, each are attuned to the Third within which that polarity is being perpetuated. Thier shared focus allows each (and, vicariously, us as well),to participate in something larger than iether could have planned for. Their authenticity is refreshing; perpetually so, because anyone availed of hearing Frank speak of the transparency of scarcity, etcetera, etcetera will never again experience a pre-launch tele-seminar in quite the same way. Their dialogue was not canned nor controlled... and so the food they're sharing with us is living i.e. much more nutritious and appropriate to our nature as entrepreneurs.(let the herbivores punching a time clock eat that which is without life)... A dynamic of this quality happens when the participants are not overly identified with the known, previously agreed upon agenda, and can trust the Unknown enough to allow something wonderfully unexpected to occur. Most rewarding for me was the realization that these fellas are, fcr all practical purposes, 'just like me'... this revelation is encouraging. I can do that which they are doing... i can evolve. thank you both very much, Sam Shirer

Hey Eben, I cant say that this interview was the deciding vote, but it definitely made me more excited to move forward and sign up. Now I eagerly waiting for the acceptance. I was initially thinking it was going to be a bit boring and canned like some of the previous stuff but it was a refreshing way to approach a interview and it made me more interested. I think I will try to approach my webcasts in a similar manor and see how they do.

Awesome teleclass, it made me realise that I need to adjust my mastermind/reference group and continue with my daily affirmations! Right now I am gathering information about building a website and starting my information product/advice as well, muchas gracias Eben, good stuff!

Posted by: RJ | 11:33 AM

Hey, Im in London and a great fan of Frank and Jeff. Eben let me be honest I respected you for your incrdible earning capacity but I've never been a fan, doesn't mean I didn't like you, just not a fan, or an anti fan! Just nothing. After this interview I have great respect. My life is very similar to yours up to around the realty bit. It gave me inspiration that if I follow people like you I'll get to where you are today. Fair play for reliving some of that stuff, Its hard. Nice one Eban and respect to the kern!

Posted by: Richard van Stratum | 09:45 AM

Eben, awesome teleclass, by far one of the best I have ever heard. I am going to start measuring everything in Sh*tloads!!!

Posted by: James Erickson | 08:49 AM

Eben, I too listened to the entire two hour interview. I got a giggle out of hearing Frank a little tipsy, but I really enjoyed hearing more of your story. Not that you need more ideas to make money, but you will have to write a book about your life someday, it's a very inspiring story. I liked hearing some of your basic "inner game" stuff (I had heard some of it on your Deep Inner Game DVD program). My favorite, "Do you believe that the universe is a friendly place?" Honestly, I grew up in a household (no offense to my family, I love them dearly) with a scarcity mentality and the idea that the universe is a very UN-friendly place. I will be writing my affirmations around changing these beliefs daily!! They become very deeply ingrained...thanks for giving me a way out of this mentality. I will be applying to this program at the Gold level as I am brand new to this Internet marketing stuff. However, I believe that I have a ton of information/advice to offer the world. One of the most important reasons that I gravitate to your products is NOT because you are so successful, it is because you radiate INTEGRITY! Never lose that Eben, never lose that...your honesty, sincerity, and integrity are what make you a success in my book.

Posted by: Kevin | 06:29 AM

Hi Eben. I was on the call. And though my "righteous self" disapproved Frank slurring his speech, etc. the content touched me deeply. Before that call I had no intention to even consider the program you are offering, and now I am close to being a convert. They say it is hard to love someone who is perfect, and you'd showed up perfect to me before... on the Never Work Again Peaks event, at Mass Control, on the videos... This last night's interview showed a whole human picture, and I am glad to tell you, I can now wholeheartedly love you. I see myself in you. If you can do it, I can do it. Let's do it.

Posted by: Sophie Benshitta | 05:54 AM

Hi Eben, I listened to the entire 2 hour call and I have to say it was different. Frank is such a character. In a way, I'm glad the agenda was different because it really made you guys seem down to earth and normal. It's nice to know that you started from a humble beginning. Looking forward to joining your program. Happy Launch!
