On this weeks episode of the Freedom Path Investors Podcast #15, we sat down with local St. Louis flooring company owner and real estate investor Brad Evans; from Evans Flooring. If you are in the St. Louis area and are in need of any hardwood refinishing or installation give Brad Evans and Evans Flooring a chance. (314) 722-3047  Brad has overcome some incredible odds in life.  Dropping out of high school, drug addiction, and eventual jail time ended up being the best thing to happen in his life. Fast forward several years later, he now has abuisness that now grosses over 3 million a year with over 30 employees. Brad started buying rental property about 5 years ago and reinvesting profits from his company in passive income. Now he owns 10 free & clear houses and will do an occasional fix & flip to keep all his crews busy.  

 Some key take aways from our conversation; 

1- invest the same time you put into your vices or bad habits instead into your buisness or passion. 

2- reinvest into your buisness early on to scale 

3- delegate the jobs you don't like and aren't good at and elevate A players on your team 

4- always be marketing yourself 

5- do whatever it takes if you want to be successful, outwork and out hustle the other guys
