Episode Details

Hey everyone, welcome back to the show! In today's episode, we're going on a wild ride through my dad's journey of building a business under the ultimate pressure. It all started with my mom giving him an ultimatum: "You've got two years to make this business viable, or we're all moving back to Florida." No pressure, right? This wasn't just her saying she'd leave—he had to pack up and go too if he couldn't make it work. Talk about a wake-up call.

So, my dad tried working for someone else. Let me tell you, it was a shitty experience. From there, it was sink or swim. He had to focus on his own business, "Fix It Rite!" My mom, Natalie, backed him 100%. They faced lean times, but he hustled. He'd be out working till midnight, but no matter what, we ate dinner together as a family. Every night.

There's a lot to unpack here about family, business, and the crazy experiences along the way—like the time I almost got expelled in my senior year for doing "The Shocker" in front of the principal. It was a lesson in tough love and discipline, and how those lessons translate into business success.

Join me as I share more stories, lessons learned, and the philosophy that's driven me and my dad to where we are today. This episode is a raw, unfiltered look at the challenges and triumphs of building a business and keeping the family strong.
