#64. From Death Row Prison Guard to 40+ Exits, While Still Traveling the World by Motorcycle with Ron Douglas (founder of Mentoring Giants)

Jul 21, 2023
01:21:50

Ron Douglas has the soul of an adventurer, the heart of a Texan, and enough stories to leave you inspired and left wondering, “How the hell did he do all that.”

At 18, Ron broke his back and had to learn how to walk again. 

That’s where he discovered grit.

Then, he worked as a prison guard on death row, where he discovered irony. 

After that, he worked in a junkyard where he discovered his purpose: entrepreneurship.

Ron was a business coach on Discover Channel’s “Blue Collar Backers” and has exited an incredible 40 businesses. 

Not to mention how he’s traveled the world on a motorcycle. 

This episode is great for people with adventurous spirits and entrepreneurial minds.
