Otherwise savvy small business owners can be totally stupid when it comes to trusting their money and investment strategies to others.

That is a sermon that Garrett B. Gunderson - who became a multi-millionaire before age 27 - has been preaching from coast-to-coast business pulpits for years and is a core concept in his New York Times groundbreaking bestseller, Killing Sacred Cows.

Garrett, an educator and financial advocate, is the force behind The Freedom FastTrack, a go-against-the-grain process of building and protecting your wealth that defies conventional wisdom, yet produces extraordinary results.

On this week's special edition of Business Unconventional, Garrett unloads on commission-obsessed financial planners and explains why chasing interest rates will never produce the phenomenal wealth that comes when you chase your life's soul purpose.

Garrett Gets Paid A Fortune As An In-Demand Corporate Speaker and Small Business Consultant... But His Weekly "Freedom FastTrack Intelligence Brief" Won't Cost You A Dime

As a Business Unconventional listener, you can receive a free, trial subscription to Garrett B. Gunderson’s Freedom FastTrack Intelligence Brief - keeping you on the cutting edge of personal and professional financial success in less than 10 minutes a week.

Simply visit www.FreedomFastTrack.com/intelligencebrief and enter code: "MMR 01". Those who don't listen to Business Unconventional will just have to fork over hard cash to receive Garrett's most-exclusive insights.

He is best known for his child and parent-centered content, most notably the children’s television series Zazoo U, The Crayon Box (based on his popular children’s book, The Crayon Box That Talked), and The Big Green Rabbit.

Hosts David Biondo and Dean Rotbart get the scoop on DeRolf’s latest venture, Yesterday’s Zoo, a Colorado-based “fun dimensional learning company” that is positioned as a unique monthly book club for children and their parents. DeRolf serves as the chief creative officer of Yesterday’s Zoo, which recently made its debut at the Denver Zoo on May 17, 2013 (National Endangered Species Day).

As co-hosts David Biondo and Dean Rotbart point out, writing and successfully publishing a book is very much a business - requiring many of the same skills that any successful entrepreneur must master.

Do you have the right product line (subject matter)? How much will it cost to produce (time, lost opportunities, out-of-pocket expenses)? What's your marketing plan (if no one buys the book, then what)? Do you have the self-discipline and dedication to see the project through? What type of team do you need to assemble to get the job done (agent, publisher, PR, editor, etc.)?

This is the second of three related segments.

Owner and master florist, Julia Park, filled the 710 KNUS AM studios with floral arrangments from Diz's Daisys as she was interviewed for the special pre-Valentine's Day edition of Business Unconventional.
