Roy Englebrecht and I met in a freshman level class in college.  Of course, I should probably clarify something - I was the student, and he was the guest lecturer.  I remember sitting in class and hearing my professor announce that a real-life entrepreneur was going to come to and share his real life experience starting and growing a company.  I really wasn’t sure what to expect - this whole “entrepreneurship” thing was pretty new to me. The year was 2010, the iPhone was still relatively new, Facebook had recently upset MySpace as the most popular social media platform, and entrepreneurship as a “thing” was just starting to become vogue.  But Roy did more than just share about how he saw his first opportunity, and worked hard to turn it into what is now.  He inspired me to do that same - and that’s when the whole world of entrepreneurship opened up in front of me.  The good, the bad, and the ugly.

"We Got Comfortable With The Unknown"

Entrepreneurship and business also have their heros.  The Jack Welches, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerbergs, Jeff Bezos, and others write books, command massive audiences (and dollars), and inspire entrepreneurs all over the world.

But these heros sacrificed the one thing I, and I’m guessing you, aren’t willing to: our families.

We’ll spend the next couple episodes not just learning how other entrepreneurs have successfully navigated family and work, but also understanding when they were able to say “no.”

We’ll uncover a quiet, but successful group of entrepreneurs.   And hopefully, you’ll find a hero as well.

This is so much bigger than work-life balance.  This is so much more than the next productivity hack.  This is about helping you build a successful company, and making it home for dinner.
