Welcome back to Who Dares Wins for Season 2! Anthony sits down with two of the founding members of Dude Perfect, Cody Jones and Coby Cotton, and how it came to be. Five college roommates went viral and were faced with a decision: pursue a career in creating YouTube videos (at a time when it wasn't a common or seemingly viable way to make a living) or a typical 9-5 role. They decided to "go big" and created the brand we all know and love today. Cody and Coby speak about the challenges they've faced growing their company, what led to that decision to "go big," and how they bring that mindset to every project. Josh Fagen, a longtime trusted advisor, also sits down with Anthony to talk about the conditions in which paid sabbaticals for employees is a smart idea, and whether it makes sense to trust your gut to make decisions over consulting data.
