In this episode, Brad and Steve are joined by Ben Barlow, an Exercise & Wellness major with a minor in Business Management. Ben is passionate about two things: helping people be healthy and happy and using creativity to provide solutions that can be both simple and powerful. Over a few years, he has become a high-level communicator, increasing performance and inspiring others to take action through intrinsic motivation.

Ben shares his entrepreneurial journey and struggles as a young entrepreneur. He started out young and didn't have much experience, so he had to learn a lot as he went along. The struggle was real for him, but he persevered and eventually became successful. Ben's story is inspiring for other young entrepreneurs who are just starting out. He reminds us that struggle is part of the process, but if you keep going and don't give up, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. This is an insightful and inspiring episode that will help any young entrepreneur who is facing struggles in their business.

Episode Highlights:

02:53 - I'd say I'm an independent person. I like to think through things. I'm very entrepreneurial, and I want to be spontaneous at times. I love creativity.

07:51 - When I started, I didn't think that was what I'm going to do, but that's kind of the difficulty of the business. At the beginning, I thought this will be good money that can get me through and support myself.

12:48 - They are not as familiar with knowing how to fill out legal forms. You really need to walk through each individual's steps with them which takes quite a bit of time.

21:53 - I think a lot of it is just trying to be genuine with them and even if we are not the best company to go for, we don't have all the benefits, but we try to create a good environment that makes it a good experience for them.
