I am knee-deep (more likely neck-deep) in my first true business venture. Mistakes have been made. There are a lot of people who want to start a business, and many don't know where to look. This episode is about picking the brains of two successful entrepreneurs (one in tech and one in restaurants) about what has worked, what hasn't, successes, failures, where to start, and what to avoid. I am still in the process of working through some of these issues, hopefully, this discussion can help others in the same position.

Rob Bailey could perhaps be best described as an artist/serial entrepreneur. He is the founder of Flag Nor Fail, the founder of the supplement company Run Everything Labs, the creator of the coaching group Clear, Calculated, and Vicious, as well as being a music artist and producer. When he is not focusing on his retail businesses he is also developing real estate, creating and managing a group of unique Air BnB's in NW Montana, and traveling to fitness events/expos.

Today's episode is a blend of a traditional Full Auto Friday and Monday episode. The question I opened with was an interesting one, in a nutshell: "I pulled my gun on someone in traffic and now I don't feel so good about it, any thoughts or advice?" I figured that Nelson was the perfect person to help answer this question from a law enforcement perspective, and as I suspected, he did not disappoint. The remainder of the episode was our traditional banter. Enjoy

The 777 Expedition was an amazing journey, with 7 successful jumps on 7 continents in just over 6 days! For the members of the team, the impact was immediate and powerful. After being home for just over a week and finally having some time to think and process, I realized there were very powerful lessons to learn or reinforce from each continent. These lessons can apply to everyone, in both their personal and professional lives. Antarctica - Chile - Miami - Barcelona - Cairo - UAE - Australia

Rapid Fire Q and A to finish off the week: 1. Would you try to talk your child out of military service, and if so, how would you do so 2. Advice for staying sharp and strong as one ages 3. I was promised a permanent raise after holding an interim position and now that is not being honored, would you leave over something like this Enjoy

He would go on to found Quark Expeditions and pioneer tourism transit to the polar regions with Russian icebreakers.

There were an incredible amount of memorable moments and lessons learned over the past week while traveling to all 7 continents, but one stands out above them all for me. I will do a full debrief episode at some point, but for today, I will leave you with the most personally impactful experience. Enjoy
