Summary

I sat down Bob Parsons, CEO and Founder of PXG and the founder of GoDaddy during this past Super Bowl weekend. We talked about a variety of topics, including his experiences with the Marines, learning from failure, the healing effects of psychedelics, and how he manages to stay on top of all his business ventures. My favorite takeaway from the episode was when Bob said, "if you love what you do, it will tell you all of its secrets".
