Zack Hughes- How Being A Green Beret Helps in Business

Why do veterans make the best entrepreneurs? Because they are the hungriest, the toughest, the most persistent, and the most resourceful people in existence. And even if you've never found yourself in a literal battle, picking up some of those skills will change the way you show up in your business forever.

Zack Hughes is a former Green Beret with the Special Forces, whose military career ended with an injury sustained during a tour in Afghanistan. Following his time as a soldier, Zack became the COO of Elite Meet and was inspired to co-found the Operators Association, a community designed to motivate, mentor, and support up-and-coming Special Operators.

On this episode of No Bull Business and Brews, hosts Jason and Steve jam with Zack on Zack's early days as a young man who wanted to serve and who became a leader very quickly (and unexpectedly), the ambush that left Zack injured and set him on a new trajectory, the ups and downs of transitioning to civilian life and business, how soldiers and businesses can each benefit from the other's skills and experience, and how Zach and his team are preparing the next generations of exceptional operators. Tune in for an impactful interview with an American warrior who's been at the top as a soldier and an entrepreneur.

What You'll Learn:

• How Zach earned a solid reputation with his new team through a combination of hard work, life experience, and a sense of how to provide real value to others

• What combat looks like in real life to those in the middle of it (because it's nothing like the movies)

• Why the most famously "cringe-y" social media platform out there actually ended up being one of the foundations of Zack's incredible success on social media

• And much more!

Favorite Quote:

"And truly, what I found big-picture here is another mission, something to get behind, something to be passionate for… I don't know how many of those you get in life. And so for me to be able to be still with my guys, I get to be around people that are constantly fighting for their dreams and their purpose. And I gotta be honest with you guys, I'm just glad to be around people that are hungry as shit every day now."

What do you do when you're terrified? More than ever, people are scared to death about what's happening around them and in their own lives. The world has nearly shut down from it. But you have a choice - you can shut down too, or you can stand up and move.

Michael Beara knows what it's like to encounter fear and fight past it. And all of his experiences with fear opened his eyes to his calling, which is helping others face fear and conquer it. A CPA and serial entrepreneur in his professional life, Michael also hosts multiple podcasts on the topics of crushing fear and the world of craft beers.

On this episode of No Bull Business and Brews, hosts Jason and Steve sit down with Michael to discuss where fear comes from both internally and externally, the mindset shifts that will give you the confidence to take action rather than sit and worry, why anyone who wants a side hustle should be looking into the insurance industry, and the tremendous power of self-talk. Tune in for an episode that will shake you awake and get you moving, regardless of what's in your way.

What You'll Learn:

• How fear has spread through the world over the course of the last year, and the toll it has taken on businesses and families - and what really lies under the thing we're meant to be afraid of
• What to consider as you build the circle of people you hang around (and take advice from) and how to avoid the fake experts and scammers
• Why Michael chooses the sources of energy and the input around him very carefully, and what he's learned to avoid over the years
• And much more!

Favorite Quote:

"We can either be on a higher level - just think about abundance - or we could be at this lower level and just be scared and just be afraid of this fear that comes towards you, whereas you should really run towards it. If there's a wall there, run towards the wall and break through it. And that gives you just tremendous confidence. "
