Life's a Fight

Tom Kwon is CEO and co-founder of Scoutsee, which helps social media influencers benefit from sharing what they already love. Rick and Tom talk to The Spaniard about building business, extending a person's reach, and being who you want to be.

This recording was one of those times to step back and see what form this overall effort is taking. The Spaniard and Dread talk about working to build a Perennial Seller as described by Ryan Holiday. It's not glamorous, it's not always fun, it's work day in and day out for (so far) no money, but (as you'll hear repeated in this episode) that's how it's done. The guys talk about other team members—the "mysterical" Sugar and the helpfully-challenging Drew Swope. And maybe … you! If this particular grind calls to you, listen for The Spaniard to give out his phone number yet again. That perhaps-foolish-seeming trust has attracted good things. We can't wait to see what will happen next.
