Today, we have a very special guest and he goes by the name of Brian Scudamore!
Brian is a serial entrepreneur, author of WTF?! (Willing to Fail): How Failure Can Be Your Key to Success, and founder & CEO of O2E Brands, the parent company of 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, WOW 1 DAY PAINTING, and Shack Shine.
Brian’s story is super interesting because he’s literally THE definition of someone who’s always taken the road less traveled.
Although he never completed high school, he managed to persuade the college admissions office that he had what it takes to thrive in college.
Now, while he talked himself into university, he had to find a way to pay for his education.
And although his step-dad was a liver transplant surgeon, and certainly had the finances to pay for Brian’s education, he chose not to.
He felt it wouldn't be a good return on investment and that Brian needed to learn a valuable lesson since he didn’t complete high school.
So, Brian took matters into his own hands and one day...
While in a McDonalds drive thru, of all places, Brian saw what he describes as a beat-up pickup truck with plywood side panels built on the box and thought,
"That’s my ticket to pay for college!"
And it was.
Soon after, he dropped out of college and focused on his business.
And it payed off tenfold.
Today, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? brings in over $200 million dollars in annual revenue!
Not to mention the other 2 other multi-million-dollar home service businesses Brian runs, WOW 1 DAY PAINTING and Shack Shine.
In this interview Brian and Ennis will talk about Brian's philosophy WTF (willing to fail), how to hire candidates with a founder's heart, as well as whether you need a business partner or a mentor for your business.
We hope you enjoy :)
