Rayk: Welcome, Alex Banaian.Are you ready for today's training session. Alexander: I'm ready man. Let's do this. Rayk: So let's step right into it. So first of all, please give me three things about you in terms of your profession, your past and something private. Alexander: 1. I'm the author of the book "The Third Door". 2. I spent ten years studying the world's most successful people. 3. When I was a little kid I was so terrified by almost everything. Rayk: Your special expertise is interviewing the best of the best. Can you give me a little glimpse of your new book? What's the name and what could we expect from it? Alexander: So the book is called "The Third Door" and it's about my seven year journey tracking down some of the world's most successful entrepreneurs and figuring out how they launched their careers and achieved their success. I spoke to Bill Gates, I also spoke with the co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak. You know, the whole spectrum of entrepreneurs. And one of the things that I learned: every single one of these people treated life and business and success the exact same way. There're always three ways in. So there's the first door, the main entrance where the line curves around the block, where ninety-nine percent of people wait around hoping to get in. The second door is the VIP entrance, where the billionaires and celebrities go through. And society has this way of making us feel like those are the only two ways in you either wait your turn or you're born into it. But what I've learned is that there's always, always the third door. Bang on the door a hundred times, crack open the window, go to the kitchen, there's always a way in. That doesn't matter if that's how Bill Gates on his first piece of software or how Steven Spielberg became the youngest director in Hollywood history, they all took the third door. And that is the heart of this book. Rayk: So please let me know, what was your world championship? What was your biggest challenge and how did you overcome it? Alexander: You know, there was a lot of struggle on this journey. You know, I started this journey when I was 18 years old. In the very beginning I didn't have any money to fund this journey. So what I ended up having to do, I had no money, but I had this dream. So I decided to do something very logical. I decided to go on a game show in America to win some money. The biggest game show in American history is called "The Price is Right". And I never seen a full episode of the show before, but I ended up pulling an all-nighter to study how the show worked. And I hacked the game show. I ended up winning the whole grand prize. I want a sailboat on the show. I sold the sailboat and I used that money to fund my adventure to go learn from the world's most successful entrepreneurs. Rayk: How did you take your own advice from all these great mentors? What was your biggest learning on your journey from the last 10 years? And especially from the last seven years. What was your biggest learning? Alexander: So I had to find my own third doors. And what I've learned is that there's a single reason most people don't achieve their dreams. The main reason and when you think of the third door analogy, the biggest reason is most people are too afraid to leave the line for the first door. That's where a lot of people have their jobs and make money. And, you know, the sidewalk is nice and clean and there're streetlights. You know, everything's more comfortable there, but it is impossible to go out and find your third door if you're still standing in line for the first one. Rayk: Amazing. And maybe you could give us an idea how you did it? Alexander: You know, the biggest, biggest way that I was able to get the interviews for the book. So every situation was different. The biggest thing I've learned for myself is that sometimes the craziest ideas are actually the most reasonable. Because what ends up happening is, if you think about it, everyone, again going back to the third door analogy, everyone's competing for the same reasonable approach. And if everyone's trying to do the same reasonable approach, then it's overcrowded. And the same is true. If you're marketing your product right or if you're launching a new startup, if you're doing it the way everyone else is doing it, you just seem like everybody else. And sometimes the crazier, more wild, creative third door ideas are the most obvious and the ones that work the best. So the key here is that the bigger the swing, the more you try. Yes, you're going to succeed and yes, you're going to fail. But that's the point, because the opposite of success is not failure. The opposite of success is not trying. Rayk: So where could we find this book? What was the one thing in mind that we should focus on while reading it? Alexander: The third door is an adventure story where you're learning along the way. So if people are in the mood for a fun book to also teach them about success and entrepreneurship, that's this kind of book. Number two is, I believe in mentorship. Having someone who has achieved and succeeded helping guide your journey in the third door is in a way your way to get mentored by Bill Gates, by Steve Wozniak, by Larry King, by Steven Spielberg, and hear their stories and hear their advice for you to achieve your goals. Rayk: Perfect. OK, and we can find it, I guess, also on your homepage. Maybe you can give us a link where to find this book. Alexander: So it's in bookstores in Germany. It's obviously on online books retailers, it's available as ebook. So it's out everywhere in German. Rayk: Thank you very much for your time and we'll say goodbye. So thank you very much.
