  • Episode 8 - Advice on entering the real world, risk, and telling others about your side business

    Happy Monday, It’s Brandon once again we’ve got another great episode of Pocket Thoughts for you guys today.

Todays questions include:

  • Episode 4 - Routines, Sleepless Nights, and Accountability Partners

    Hello, welcome back to Pocket Thoughts, once again I am Brandon, one of the cohosts of this show and today is Monday, what some may consider the scariest day of the week. But, have no fear because we are here to help. If you have listened to our past 3 episodes you know the drill.If this is your first time listening, welcome! Myself, Bobby, Brady, and Joey share true stories, life lessons, successes and struggles with you every week and an inside look to the life of an entrepreneur. In today’s episode we discuss our routines and how they help us succeed throughout the day. Next, we talk about what keeps us up at night. For some it’s the scary thought of what the future brings and the list of things we need to get done. For others it is the fact that we are so excited for it to be tomorrow because of all of the things we want to continue to work on and accomplish that we had to stop today because it’s recommended that people need to sleep. Our final topic we discuss is having an accountability partner. Do we have one? Do we need one? Can it be someone you don’t even talk to? We are also trying something new out at the end of the episode where we give you a run down on our week and look at what’s ahead for us. As always, don’t forget to subscribe to us on iTunes and Spotify. Follow us on Instagram at @educating_entrepreneurs to join in on the discussion about today’s episode and like us on Facebook for all of our other content. Enjoy the show!

  • Episode 3 - Fears

    Hello everyone and welcome back! This is the 3rd episode of Pocket Thoughts presented by Educating Entrepreneurs and we’ve got a great episode ahead for you guys. Today we talk about our biggest fears, whether it be in life, business, or even in our development in entrepreneurship. During that discussion we take a dive into the school system and how we think students should be taught. Do we need to take those core classes or why is it not encouraged that someone can be the best in the arts, gym, or whatever you have a passion for? Later Joey calls out Bobby for being an arrogant prick and Bobby explains why he is alright with being called that. After breaking down each other fears we talk about the fact that there is no reason not to take a chance. What’s the worst that can happen? Who knows, just by asking that question or talking to that person you have always been scared to talk to because of rejection or whatever excuse you gave yourself for not doing it, it could open up a door to possibilities you never imagined. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment on what you thought of the show and let us know anything you guys want us to talk about for a future podcast. Enjoy the show!

    Show Notes

    • 1:42 - “Biggest fear in life, biggest fear in business, development in entrepreneurship”
  • 4:46 - “Failing should be thought of as learning”
  • 12:08 - “Are we trying to make well rounded individuals, so they have places to fall back on, incase they don’t like what they are trying to specialize in? Or do we want to give them a general education all the way up to college and let them decide from there?”
  • 17:19 - “Where do you draw the line with being totally fine with failure to the point where it doesn't push you and you’re just okay failing and still having that failure that can drive you on the other side?
  • 23:20 - “If you’re scared of failure that you can prevent, just prevent it… That should not be a fear that should cross your mind”
  • 31:09 - “Our world is so good at dehumanizing human beings in a sense that they appear to be Gods, but just humanize them, they have to do the same as you”

    Happy Monday ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the second episode of Pocket Thoughts!

Our first topic will be Abe Lincoln’s management style and if we agree with it and how we ourselves manage others. Our second topic we discuss is criticism from others and how each of us handle it. And for the final topic Bobby, Brady, and Joey bring us back to their high school days and the first time they all were part of a company together and how poorly it went.

  • Episode 1 - Welcome to Pocket Thoughts!

    Welcome to Pocket Thoughts! In today's 21st century the word entrepreneurship conjures up feelings of optimism, success, and happiness. The world of entrepreneurship is viewed as a glitzy, almost heroic career, with a guaranteed pathway to riches and success! You've seen how it works on T.V. social media, and the YouTube channels. Entrepreneurship is the most awesome career you can find. Just dream up a great idea, talk to a guru about how to market that idea, make a website, and BANG you might as well buy your mansion now! Purchase that Ferrari you've always wanted and prepare yourself to date the hottest woman in the world. After all, you are an entrepreneur, you will be printing cash in a matter of days. WRONG! We are four entrepreneurs with backgrounds in medicine, logistics, accounting, and tech with very different experiences. Therefore, we will share true stories, life lessons, successes and struggles with you all every week to give you a real inside look to the life of an entrepreneur.

    Topics on this weeks show:

    1) What motivates us? What gets us out of bed super early in the morning, gets us excited and out of bed to keep working hard every day.

    2) Do you do something that is insanely scalable a try to affect a million people all at once? Or do you just start slow and ramp that thing up over time?

    3) What strategies do you use to say "no"?

    4) What made us want to become an entrepreneur?
