I’m Justin Lukasavige. I considered hiring someone to write this for me to make it sound good but that’s not what I’m about. I’m just like you and I like to do business with real people.

I don’t have a background involving classes that culminate in a degree that I use every day. I studied commercial aviation in college and immediately become an instructor and then an airline pilot.

I agree, that’s not really useful to you, is it?

I spent over seven years flying passengers around the US, Canada and the Caribbean before turning what I was really excited about (helping you!) into a business that would support my family. I had no clue what a coach was, but I knew that my job as an airline captain wasn’t how I wanted to help people.

I trained with Dave Ramsey and his team early in 2006 and immediately launched Lukas Coaching. I had very little business experience but there was no way I was going to let that stand in the way of helping people.

Lukas Coaching plateaued in growth 12 months after launching it and, after trying a few things, I still couldn’t figure out how to make it grow enough to replace my income at the airline. It would have been a shame if I couldn’t make it work back then because hundreds of people wouldn’t have been able to benefit. But I hired coaches, took classes, read books…and I made it work.

I grew so rapidly that other businesses asked me how they could do it too. Thus began my work helping people start and grow a business they really cared about. Some of them have gone on to impact the world.

Now I spend my time doing what I love. I create audio and video for our community. I speak around the world, remotely and in person, and I’ve worked with clients around the globe .

Above all else I’m a husband to Christine and a dad to Ava, Amanda and Brie. They’re why I do what I do and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

An Inside Look At Creating Your Own Online Show

Have you every thought about creating your own show for your business? If you are looking to build trust, reputation and authority (as well as a super healthy business), there may not be a better opportunity than there is now to start your own show around your passion…audio or video. Dumber, Slower, Expensive vs. Smarter, Faster, Cheaper It used to be starting a show meant you had a zillions of dollars, somehow won a golden ticket from a traditional media source OR you were the zen master of technology. Now, you need is a great idea, drive, passion and a touch or two of your own personality. This “Internet thing” we all love has become an unbelievable resource of tools….that are easy to use. Blog hosting software like WordPress has revolutionized and simplified the process of creating a complicated website. And the list goes on…. Do you have to work your butt off to have a successful show? You bet you do. But now, the difference is instead of big money you can be successful with a big drive, creativity and hustle. The Illusion Of Size One of the biggest misconceptions about creating your own show is that you need to have MILLIONS (or multiple thousands) of viewers/watchers/listeners/community members to build a successful business around it. I disagree. For one thing, the Internet allows you to “niche up” as opposed to mainstream media. Want to start a show for penguin lovers? There is a small, passionate market for that. Media… Read More
