Michael McGovern welcomed Jacob Emery to the Reckless CEO podcast, where the two discussed business acumen and the journey of entrepreneurship. Jacob, a business owner and fitness fanatic based in Columbus, Ohio, shared his story of going straight to work out of high school, having been given a job opportunity by a close mentor. They discussed the relationship between business and fitness, and how they collaborate well together. Jacob had worked in the pipeline world and shared his story of success, inspiring and motivating listeners. 

Jacob talked about his journey to buying a company by the time he was 30. He had been traveling the state of Ohio for 8 years and decided to try and buy the company. He credits his belief in himself and his mentor, Corey Gregory, for inspiring him to do it. He remembers the two of them talking in the gym one day, when Corey asked him what he was doing with his life. Jacob then decided to take on the challenge of buying the company and, sure enough, he achieved it. 

Jacob talks about how his relationship with fitness began when a friend suggested he get into the fitness space. Jacob was unemployed and broke at the time, so his friend's suggestion inspired him to turn his life around and set a goal to buy a company by the time he was 30. He explains that buying a company is not as difficult as people may think, as long as you have financials to support an SBA loan and partners to help. With that motivation, Jacob was determined to make his goal a reality. 

In the conversation, Jacob discusses the concept of the Art of the Deal and how it allowed them to purchase a business with a net worth of just $37,000. They discuss the concept of leverage and how it can create a win-win situation for both parties. They also discuss the importance of resilience and power through the difficult moments. Jacob then outlines what their company does, which is infrastructure work in the natural gas distribution world. They also do work in the waterline pipeline, underground electric world, and communication side such as fiber optics. Lastly, they discuss the importance of helping these old school industries evolve into the new age.
