Ep. 4 ”Go to College So You Can Be Successful”: False Narrative

Many people also believe the false narrative of "Go to college so you can be successful!" Ian quickly realized this wasn't HIS path.
Ian opened the Iron Pig in MI to start the path of entrepreneurship. When the pandemic hit, his curiosity to challenge authority and government gave way. Ian felt it was important to take a stance, be honest about it, and keep money flowing during the pandemic, going against the emergency order to shut down. This choice came with backlash.  
By failing his way to the top by "risking it for the brisket" he has gained more knowledge than desired due to fighting his way through the judicial system! He's currently waiting on a verdict! But his narrative has changed for good.

Ep. 3 ”I Have to Take Care of Everyone”: False Narrative

Tim Croll grew up in a legalistic Baptist home. He was put in charge of his younger siblings.  This made Tim feel responsible for all his sibling's safety and their actions. "I have to take care of everyone."  Through empty promises from his parents, he too learned he couldn't trust anyone.
As an adult, Tim followed the other false narrative of "Just get a job and everything will be ok." But it wasn't!
Now Tim leans on mentors for authentic conversations and perspectives.

Ep. 2 ”If you stand in your own way, you’ll never see your potential”: False Narrative

Once Corey Samz had earned his way into the Magnet Program in high school (he was selected due to his artistic talent) a teacher shared with Corey that if he didn't get out of his own way, he'd never see his potential.
When his employer, whom he was loyal to, despite others saying he could do more, laid him off, Corey realized his potential.  This was an open door to explore and his wife supported him. Due to his severance package, he had the freedom to explore that potential. There was an opportunity to teach about what he loved!

Ep. 1 ”Work Hard and Get Promoted, Right?”: False Narrative

As Steve watched his dad growing up he absorbed two narratives.  First, if you work hard you will get promoted. And the other was that your career was your identity. 
When life didn't seem to be playing by those rules, Steve took note.  He decided to change his narrative.  He would not be defined by his career.  Everything was there for the taking. He also found the value of an infrastructure of having people he trusted to talk to.
