About this listen

America has always been about freedom, opportunity, and the pursuit of happiness. However, most Americans are not free when it comes to the financial front. Most are under financial slavery due to losing their jobs, having stagnant wages due to outsourcing, inflation due to money printing, and debt of all kinds. Wealth and income inequality runs rampant across America while the middle class has all but disappeared! Where there is no freedom, there can never be opportunity nor happiness. Such a disconnect between who we are as Americans and our Financial reality cannot be allowed to continue.

​

Therefore, Extraordinary America is about the abolition of financial slavery. It is about the financial freedom of the 99%. It is about Americans awakening and unleashing the Extraordinary within themselves and setting themselves free!

​

The truth is Americans are Extraordinary. As immigrants and descendants of immigrants, they have overcome insurmountable obstacles and barriers with their pioneering and entrepreneurial spirit, and this time is no different. Americans should never give up or surrender to hopelessness and despair, no matter how bad the situation is, no matter how much the odds are stacked against them. Just as spring overcomes winter, Day overcomes Night, the light within us shall overcome the darkness around us. Its time for us to know that we are our own saviors, that there is an Extraordinary within us waiting to be unleashed, that freedom is our birthright and that we shall realize the American Dream!

​

The path to financial freedom is by educating and transforming ourselves into Entrepreneurs and Investors on the light side! In this podcast Cosmos Dar interviews Entrepreneurs and Investors who fought against the odds, and in many cases came from humble beginnings to attain financial freedom, to see how they did it. He hopes through all these stories that the Extraordinary within the audience shall awaken, that they shall take the actions necessary to abolish financial slavery from their lives and finally Realize the American dream!

    Bill Flynn bio:


    Bill has collaborated with Alan Mulli and Amy Edmondson, pitched Steve Jobs, accomplished much, failed often, and learned many useful lessons from 30 years of studying the science of success. He's best described as a pragmatic Simon cynic, an optimist, and an operator.

    Bill embodies his core purpose, simplified servanthood, by spreading each working moment to help create a compassionately productive society by enabling enlightened leaders to focus on the few things that truly matter to their teams and key stakeholders. He has worked for and advised hundreds of companies, including startups, where he has a long track record of success spanning multiple industries.

    Bill has been a VP of Sales eight times, twice as CMO, and once as a GM of a $100 million IT services division before pivoting to become a growth coach in 2015. Before that, he achieved five successful outcomes, including two IPOs and seven acquisitions, as well as a notable turnaround during the 2008 financial crisis. Bill's work has evolved beyond his best-selling book, Further Faster: The Vital Few Steps That Take the Guesswork Out of Growth, into a comprehensive performance operating system series that addresses the fundamental transition from hero leadership to systematic excellence.

    His frameworks help leaders build organizations that develop emergent intelligence capabilities, which exceed what any individual leader could accomplish on their own.
