This Dropping Bombs episode delivers bootstrapped fire with Zach Burick, the CEO who went from food stamps and moving 25+ times as a kid to buying his boss's $4M steel company on a $60K salary.

Zach breaks down the SBA loan playbook, leveraging everything to triple revenue to $12M+, and why getting uncomfortable in rooms you don't belong in changes everything. From $20/day at golf courses to building generational wealth through steel, beard products, and golf apparel—he proves ignorance is bliss when you're willing to go all in.

This conversation is the blueprint for anyone willing to bet on themselves. Stop doubting, start doing. Your empire starts here.
