Zander Fryer is a former IT Sales Executive with a quota of $120 million. He left the corporate world behind to become a certified success coach with his company Sh*t You Don't Learn in College, specializing in transformational work. He's also a health and wellness entrepreneur educating on prevention.

Learn Zander's story, which started with planning a life in the Air Force, but one mistake cost him that dream. So, he dove into the corporate world and excelled, but ultimately realized he was not fulfilled by the external success. And that led him to leave his career, hiring mentors, starting Sh*t You Don't learn in college, and is now helping others bring clarity to their life and succeeded on their own.

On today episode, Zander and I discuss:

• Zander's plan for a life in the Air Force getting taken away with one mistake
• Leaving to set out on his own with no plan and being completely lost
• Having the self-confidence to pursue his dream after his biggest supporter doubted him

We are coming at you with a little Friday afternoon addition of Path Minutes. Listen in as I talk about the mental snowball effect and how it gains momentum whether it's going down the negative or positive hill. I also discuss how I've found my inner Neo dodging the negative vibes bullets and not letting them touch me.

I look back at my corporate jobs, starting the podcast, and where I am today. I look into how much clarity I've gained since going out on my own and the difference it has made. Join me on a nice quick hit of Path Minutes.

This was a difficult episode for me to record, and I went back and forth whether or not to make this the focus of today's podcast, but I decided to share this with you. Listen in as I talk about an unexpected loss in my life and where my head is at after deep thought and reflection.

An unexpected loss makes you think about things, and it puts what matters into perspective and points to the correct way you should live life. This is what I have been thinking about this past week and I share my thoughts with you.

Jeremy Adams is one of Forbes' Top 30 Entrepreneurs Under 30. Prior to turning 30, he's launched multiple successful businesses and helped leading entrepreneurs and businesses with his sales and digital marketing background.

He launched his first startup, Prestige Food Trucks at the young age of 22 years old. Jeremy was able to quickly turn Prestige Food Trucks into the world's leading custom food truck & trailer manufacturer. He garnered so much credibility in-fact that he landed multi-truck deals with respected clients like the U.S. Army, The Salvation Army, Dunkin' Donuts, Taco Bell and many more.

What makes Jeremy's story even more inspiring is the fact that he did not attend college. Jeremy grew up in a trailer and is a product of hard work, hustle, and intelligence. He reminds us that great things are possible with correct mindset no matter where you start. 

On today's episode, Jeremy and I discuss:

• Jeremy's humble beginnings

It's been a good week, and I start things off with a quick update. I came across a video online from a famous internet personality (as we so often do), and it hit home with me. The video describes what I have been thinking since the start of the Unbeaten Path and the way I am building the business for the long haul.

Learn how long-term success is tied to short-term challenges and why focusing on immediate gain sets you up for long-term failure. This episode will provide you with the boost you need this week to keep pushing forward and working toward a better you!

Brendan Burns is the founder of AdventureDaze which is an online community where Brendan helps people maximize their lives. He shares all of his best business and self-development tools and strategies so that you can achieve the highest levels of success, fulfillment, and happiness in your life.

One of the reasons I love Brendan's story is because he was on a much different path not so long ago. After receiving undergraduate, law school and MBA degrees from Cornell University, Brendan spent several years working on Wall Street in various roles including a Hedge Fund Manager. While he is grateful for the financial skills he developed, Brendan knew deep down that entrepreneurship, travel and personal growth was his calling.

Learn Brendan's story and how he got to where he is today. This includes overcoming an abusive past, and how it dictated most of his life prior to committing to personal development and taking control of his life. This conversation encompasses everything the Unbeaten Path is all about, and you will come away with some new knowledge and inspiration!

On Today's Episode Brendan and I Discuss:

• Brendan's abusive past
• Chasing significance, through achieving, but actually looking for love and connection
• The reaction of family and friends telling them he is ditching his hedge fund career to start a business through an Instagram account and blog
• Overcoming challenges, impulses, and addictions
• And much more…

I start things off by quickly giving an update on where I'm at this week after finally getting off the self-doubt train, and how I did with the challenges I set for myself. Next, the episode moves into the meat and potatoes, which was the direction was sparked by an email from a listener.

After completing some research, I do I deep dive into willpower and the struggle we face with it. I take an article reflecting the studies of a Standard health psychologist (Ph.D.) and apply it to the Unbeaten Path theme. You will gain knowledge and solid takeaways from this episode. Learn how vital an overall healthy lifestyle and mindset are when it comes to willpower, and how crucial that is when taking the "Unbeaten Path."
