## Resource

In today's episode I sit down with my best friend and business partner, Brian Mark. Together we've built not one, but TWO successful companies from scratch, while still grinding on new ones every single day. None of it came easy. It took sacrifice, late nights, grit, and relentless drive. We break down exactly what it takes to scale a business, the mistakes we made along the way, and the lessons you can use to build your own empire.
