The Do What Is Necessary Podcast

Become the entrepreneur you've always wanted to be! Put your money on yourself!  Excuse my passion, but there are far too many wonderfully bright people who are content with their current situation, aka a job, because they are afraid to risk it all. Don't be the one that gets caught in the middle of success!  I have no ill will toward those who work. However, that should not be your sole focus and...

It's what we do every day - text...

The hustle started as a beacon for me when I was 8 years old.  Coming from humble beginnings, hustling meant trying to outwork and outsmart those who had more than I did.  But now, hustle has become synonymous with grinding 24/7 at the expense of health, relationships and legacy.  It's no surprise that individuals are working longer hours, sooner and later in the day, on weekends, and whenever the...

We've all been there: you set out to start a business out of passion, and it soon turns into growth at all costs. Work takes precedence over everything else in your life, causing everything else to go by the wayside. Suddenly, you're working 12, 14, 18 hours a day, responding to emails from home at all hours of the night, and battling the million to-dos going through your mind in order to get a fe...

Let's be honest: building a company from nothing is incredibly hard. It has been for me. I started my entrepreneurial journey at age 8.  Yep, you read that right....8!  Since then, I've started, run and sold multiple businesses with no partners and no funding. All my life I've had to build something from nothing, and that's what I've gotten really great at - tenacious, creative and extremely smart...
