Episode description

When Craig first started his entrepreneurial journey, he was trapped in the lifestyle of being a broke, anxious, binge drinking personal trainer who had no desire to be any of those things.

But with the help of his mentors, Craig evolved into an Empire Builder with the discipline, clarity, and systems he needed to succeed. Craig has gone on to build five 7-figure businesses in five different industries, write three books and mentor thousands of entrepreneurs all over the world.

In this episode, Craig and Brad discuss the importance of making a decision and sticking, being productive, and the importance of self-reflection. Tune in!
