 The theme of Tyler and Chad’s discussion focused on the courage it takes to leave corporate America and pursue an entrepreneurial endeavor. They talked about the growth process of Chad’s business, starting with the realization that there is demand for his idea, followed by investing and building systems, and ultimately achieving enough success to leave his six-figure engineering job. They also talked about the practices of future pacing and fear setting, and the freeing feeling upon taking a desired action.

 Other topics included the tax benefits of real estate, seeking personal development, transcendental meditation, mindfulness, investing in coaching, why investing and entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone and more!
