Summary
Craig Risoli is a good friend and Dad Edge Accelerator business matermind member. He is a husband of 10 years to Hailey, father of 3, veteran and the proud owner of High Speed Daddy, an epic backpack for dads company.
He built his company around his family schedule as a stay at home dad, not the other way around.
A lot of men choose to let life manage them. That is unfortunate, because that stresses and burns them out.
Today we will be talking about taking initiative, making decisions and stop letting things hold us up and learn along the way. Many of us are stopped by analysis paralysis.
Craig is an engineer, so I ask him all things about making decisions.

| 0:58.8 | but what we've done here especially in the New Year and the past several months is we've |
| 1:03.1 | chosen to look at the good despite things going on in the world that are uncertain. I can |
| 1:09.4 | tell you without a shout out of a doubt, I don't agree with everything that's going |
| 1:11.6 | on in the world. I have my own stances and beliefs on that. But as far as how we operate under |
