Entrepreneurship, by nature, demands a certain kind of fortitude. Without the strength to rise and fall and fail and struggle and learn from your mistakes as well as build relationships that inspire and drive you, you will certainly give up.
Now, toss in entrepreneurship centered on patriotism, in a time where patriotism is somehow considered an Extremist thing, and very few will tap into the extra strength required when people you’ve known and even loved, turn on you, let alone the strangers who declare open season on your integrity, in any of the social media platforms keyboard warriors with private profiles or cartoon profile pictures love the most.
So our guest Ian Wendt had a lot to say about all of it: from his personal story to his Official Patriot Gear Apparel, to current events, and to his Haters.
This episode roars by like a freight train at top speed, as Ian is the kind of person who is full steam ahead at all times, whether in a guest seat, running his company, or creating his content, because he believes in the impact he is having and is yet to have.
It’s exactly the kind of energy anyone needs to do what he’s doing.
Ride this episode out to see what it really looks like to pivot with unexpected plot twists and laugh about them as you roll forward.
