JAYSON WALLER UNLEASHED

Today on the show we're talking to Brian Scudamore, the founder and CEO of O2E brands, the parent company of 1-800 Got Junk, Wow One Day Painting, and Shack Shine. He also wrote a book, WTF?! (Willing to Fail): How Failure Can Be Your Key to Success, talking about his story of how he came from small beginnings to owning several companies.

As a kid Brian moved from school to school, having to make new friends, learn the environment, and adapt. Brian thinks that had a big impact on becoming an entrepreneur. He had to learn to overcome those obstacles, meet new people, and create new relationships.

Brian talks about how he needed to make failures in order to get to where he is today, he mentions a time, early in 1-800-GOT-JUNK's life that he had to fire 11 people at once because they weren't good fits for his image of the company. He doesn't regret any of it because without those mistakes, he wouldn't be where his today, with the lessons he's learned from them.

Today on the show Jayson is interviewed by Ben Brookhart, CSO of Powerhome Solar. They are discussing Jayson's opportunity to meet with President Trump. Jayson talks about how he didn't want to just be another suit at the meeting, he wanted to stand out, and be memorable! If you're given an opportunity like this, you can't just sit back and not take advantage!

Having a moment of insecurity is normal, having that second of doubt about if you should be there or not happens to everyone. Jayson talks about getting nervous being around billionaires and thinking he doesn't belong in the room. He quickly was able to pull himself together, tell himself what he needed to hear and rock the room! Melting away any stuffiness that was present, for everyone!

Jayson met this opportunity head on, and took action to make sure that he could stick in the president's head and help grow a name for his business and his industry. Take every opportunity in your life like the Super Bowl, you don't just want to make it to the Super Bowl, you want to play in it!

Today Jayson talks about depression and how to deal with it. The fact is, it's different for everyone, it manifests differently and everyone deals with it differently, but appreciating what's around you, leaving the past in the past, and taking it one step at a time, WILL help you get past whatever you are dealing with.

If you are breathing, if you're alive today, you are batting 100% in terms of getting over your depression! If there are negative people in your life, get rid of them, if there is negativity on the TV, quit watching it. Cut what you can, it's you versus the world, and the world isn't going to play fair. Start working out, start praying, start therapy, whatever you have to do to become a better person, DO IT!

Today on the show we're talking with Barry Sanders about his esteemed football career, winning the heisman, breaking records, and being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Barry talks about how he is always raising his own bar, there is never a "top", you're always working, and grinding to achieve your goals.

Even as a young kid Barry was consumed by football, he would watch the games every week, go out and throw the ball around, and even play his electronic football games. It was no surprise that he would go on to be one of the greatest players of all time. Barry grew up with 10 siblings, he learned how to compete with his brothers at a young age, that taught him to keep pushing himself.

Barry always loved what he did and he saw success when the team succeeded, he could have had the all time rushing record in his rookie season, but he let the guys who didn't get to play often in. He never had to prove anything to anyone but himself.

Staying in the moment and not looking too far ahead has been Barry's motto his whole life. He played with guys in high school who thought they were going to the NFL. Barry knew that he had to take things one step at a time, and become the best without losing focus on where he was.

Another episode where John LeBlanc interviews Jayson Waller. In this episode how fear can push you to conquer any challenge in front of you and why it's important to have a healthy dose of fear to stay motivated. We learn what Jayson's greatest fears are and how he deals with them to further push himself and the people around him.

If you are built to start a business or become an entrepreneur, you need to fight for what you believe in and don't quit until you achieve what you define as success! Jayson learned from his parents as a child, that he was not going to make the same mistakes as them, he saw his dad pass up an opportunity to start a business, for the safer route and that's not how Jayson wants to live his life.

Stay tuned for some poop stories from Jayson and his family.
