I'm honored to have Scott of @unbreakable_journey join me next week. If you don't know Scott's story, he's a married father of 4. A former Marine and Law Enforcement Officer. Last year Scott went in for a routine medical procedure and woke up paralyzed from the chest down. Doctors told him he'd never walk again. Scott's response? "Hold my beer doc, watch this!" (Ok, maybe he didn't say that exactly but you get the point!!). For the next year, with his faith, friends and family by his side, Scott defied the odds to not only walk again, but this past summer he completed a 10k along side @domraso Go listen to that podcast, Episode 1 to hear his full story.
Now some of you may ask, "Alex I thought this podcast was about business owners and entrepreneurs.". Well you're right. Small business owners / entrepreneurs seek out and overcome hardship when they go into business for them selves. And When you go in for a routine procedure and wake up paralyzed from the chest down, and have to start your life over, with a wife and 4 kids, that's some hardship!
Scott has also began a new business venture as a motivational speaker among other things, helping others who may be in similar situations to keep fighting.
People like Dom and Scott are truly the cornerstone of this amazing country.
Looking forward to bringing you his story and plans for the future.

Welcome to the cornerstone of america podcast!  I am your host, Alex Joudy.  

Author Henry David Thoreau once wrote, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation"

When I hear this, I think of all the people I’ve met that regret taking that smooth, familiar, beaten down road in life.

Then I think about all those individuals who chose the path less traveled. 

The one’s who opened a Salon, a gym, a deli on the corner, an auto shop.   

These are the individuals that are the foundation of our towns and cities.  The backbone of our country.  

The Cornerstone of America.

What makes them different?

What drives these individuals to strike out on their own and forge their own path?

In my experience, it's a combination of personality, work ethic and conditioning.  I also think there is something else there:

FEAR

FEAR OF STAGNATION

FEAR OF WHAT IF

FEAR OF WASTED TIME, 

FEAR OF A WASTED LIFE.

Is this what Thoreu was referring to all those years ago?

Maybe. 

But the only way to know for sure is to get to know these individuals.  What drives them to make the choices they make in business and in life.

 Like most who choose that unknown path, I don't know exactly where this journey will lead, but I'm sure as hell excited to find out!
