  • Every thought about dropping out of college? w/ Pierce Showe

    Today on Talk Is Cheap - The Fight Against Mediocrity, Kevin interviews a master of taking action, Pierce Showe, and talks about why he dropped out of college and became an entrepreneur. He shares the lessons he learned and why you shouldn’t care what others say about you.

    Pierce is the host of The Young Entrepreneur Show, ultra-endurance runner, and #1 salesman for Caleb Maddix. After one year in college at The University of Southern California, he decided to not go back to school and went all into entrepreneurship. It didn't happen overnight, but through trial and error and a ton of failures trying to start businesses, he booked a one-way flight to Arizona and actually ran into Caleb Maddix in a coffee shop. He asked if he could have lunch with him and his business partner and the rest is history. They started playing basketball together and a few months later he moved across the country on a whim without knowing what he was going to do but knowing that one day he’d be working for Caleb. Just one year later and he is gearing up to go to Funnel Hacking Live which is something he has dreamed of for two years.
