Show Notes:
I'm sitting down today with Adam Hendle, and there's a lot to say about him. He started a 7-figure brand around a single product, "ball wash," in just 7 months. And yes, that's exactly what it sounds like. He has a great money mindset, and he bootstrapped his company without taking on any outside money. And he is generous, with building giving right into his business model. You're going to learn a lot from Adam in this episode!
Question Highlights:
- Where did this crazy idea come from?
- Were you ever tempted to take on outside capital to grow faster?
- How are you balancing being a father, husband, and entrepreneur?
