049 Jason Earle: How to Build a Purpose-Driven Business From Zero

Jason Earle is a serial entrepreneur, environmental consultant and healthy home expert. In his current incarnation, he’s the founder/CEO of 1-800-GOT-MOLD? and MycoLab USA. A childhood burdened by allergies and asthma, caused by a moldy home environment, led him into the business in 2002, after escaping a nine-year career on Wall Street.

We talked about:

• How he became the youngest licensed Wall Street stockbroker (and set a Guinness World Record for it)
• How he found the mold removal business (starting from zero) and got massive media exposure soon after
• What he learned from overcoming adversity (specifically his mom's suicide, depression, and Lyme disease)
• How to observe your pain to liberate yourself
• How to be honest yourself as an entrepreneur (market opportunity, internal doubting voice, external challenges, cost on your relationships, cost on your health, etc)
• How to pursue discomfort as a path for personal and entrepreneurial growth
• What morning routine is and why he doesn't beat himself up if he doesn't do it 100%
• How he filters all opportunities to focus on his X-factor?
