If you could snap your fingers and be President of the United States, how would you fix America?  Whether born into or migrated to this great Nation, we're all constantly overwhelmed with policy changes, promises of economic growth, education reform, healthcare changes, tax reform, social justice, and the list goes on.  It seems that every policymaker and career politician thinks they can run our homes and businesses better than us. They inundate us with their campaign platforms and candidate promises to fix the trending topic of the month. But how could a career politician who spent their life on the government payroll know what's best for you? In today's Empire episode, Craig Ballantyne and Bedros Keuilian break down how they would fix America, how the government has no risk of overspending your money, why there should be less friction when creating jobs, and so much more. You can agree or disagree with these ideas, but, at a minimum, hopefully, they'll get the creative and problem-solving wheels spinning.  Connect with Bedros Keuilian:   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/bedroskeuilian/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/bedroskeuilian/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/KeuilianInc Twitter https://twitter.com/bedroskeuilian LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/bedroskeuilian/ Buy Man Up and get Bedros' High-Performance Leadership Course for FREE: https://manup.com/ Subscribe to My Channel for weekly videos: http://www.youtube.com/bedroskeuilian/?sub_confirmation=1 Connect With Craig Ballantyne: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/realcraigballantyne/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClBQyeL63OdkONi5PBDY8Cg Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ttfatloss Twitter https://twitter.com/craigballantyne Subscribe to his newsletter for exclusive business tips and strategies: https://www.craigballantyne.com/

How do you show up as a man?
