The Jerry Brazie Podcast

Jerry Brazie; CEO and Entrepreneurjerrybrazie.com
Jerry Brazie is an outspoken, straight-talking CEO, Entrepreneur and Real Estate Investor living in Portland, Oregon. Growing up with zero advantages, eight brothers and sisters, and no education and on his own at 17, he faced a lifetime of crappy jobs and poverty. Starting at 28, Jerry beat the odds by starting his own company and 20+ years later, and having bought and sold a dozen companies, Jerry has strong opinions on what it takes to succeed in business and life in today’s America. With a lifetime of experiences both at work and at home, Jerry is hoping to challenge and inspire anyone that is searching for success. Jerry pulls no punches and tells it exactly as he sees it. Jerry will certainly challenge you, probably offend you, and will definitely make you think. The show is co-hosted by William (Billy) Green from Vancouver, WA. Billy is a former software developer branching out into the creative space and a content creator for Jerry. As well as providing his technical expertise, Billy brings the perspective of a young millennial. He will provide the opinions and pushback of a young entrepreneur vs. an established CEO. Are you wondering if you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur? Have you ever wondered what the life of a successful business owner looks like? If you are serious about learning from real-world experiences both in life and business from someone who has lived it, give us a try. This podcast series will cover stories from Jerry's life, including the lessons he has learned along the way both in business and in life. So if you are thinking about becoming an entrepreneur, are an existing business owner, are looking to be successful, or just have questions on the journey, give us a listen. We want the podcast to be both educational and entertaining while providing the best information we can to help anyone looking to start or run their own business. We love to argue and want people to tell us why they think we are wrong.

Episode #273 Living with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Survivor's Tale

At 38 years old, I was diagnosed with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy —a condition I didn’t even know existed until it nearly killed me. On top of that, I developed AFib and AFlutter , which means my heart would spike to 140–240 beats per minute and just stay there for hours—or even days. I was hospitalized over 60 times , cardioverted multiple times (that’s the “clear!” shock you see in movies), and lived in constant fear of the next episode. I had to lay down just walking up a flight o...

#255 - I Can See the Cowards, What Happened to the Heroes?

This is as raw and uncensored as I can be. Some will like it, and many will hate it, but that should be the nature of discourse. Some will never listen again, and some will appreciate it, either way, I respect that. This is my truth relative to the latest school shooting. The killing in Uvalde, Texas was horrifying, there is no comparison. Setting that aside, the behavior of the police is an unquestionable act of cowardice not seen since…the last school shooting, nightclub shooting, or any other...
