“When something really matters in my life, I’ve come to the realization that you either have to be willing to do nothing about it, and ignore it, and let it fester. Or, you have to be willing to be wrong about it and take actions that may fail. It may result in unintended consequences. It’s be wrong, or do nothing. If you’re willing to try something and be wrong, that’s always better than doing nothing.”— Charles Merritt, Buddy InsuranceToday, we talk bed bugs, crossbow accidents, mountain bike crashes, comic books, DIY bedrooms, veganism, deforestation and the Appalachian Trail. Do I have your attention? Yeah, I thought that was probably better than saying I was interviewing an insurance guy. But seriously! We discuss all of that with an insurance guy. But it’s not just regular insurance, this is insurance for outdoorsmen and women. Buddy is on-demand accident insurance for people who live outdoor lives. Charles is going to outline his outdoor background, how he came to founding his company Buddy, and he’s going to give some advice for those who are chasing their dream. Charles is a really thoughtful, well spoken guy. He takes his time, pausing to compose thoughts, and he seems like he rarely misplaces words. I admire that. I think you’ll be inspired by his drive. And who knows, you might be his newest customer by the end of this. Learn More About Buddy
