| 0:00.0 | Two years ago, Evan Van Aachen was making $23 an hour as a full-time firefighter. |
| 0:05.9 | Today, he runs a seven-figure business, and he has an audience with over a million followers. |
| 0:12.4 | What the heck happened in those two years? |
| 0:15.9 | I met Evan when he joined the capitalism incubator and then ran into him in person at a conference a few |
| 0:22.0 | weeks ago and we were fast friends. And I heard his story about how he went from working full |
| 0:27.7 | time in a career that really had a short ceiling. It didn't have big upside and he was working |
| 0:35.1 | himself to death. And his desire to be an entrepreneur finally took over |
| 0:40.2 | and he went all in to build a physical products brand that has given him financial freedom for life. |
| 0:45.7 | But what most impresses me about Evan is his mindset and his thought process of how he approaches |
| 0:50.9 | everything. And that's what we spend the majority of this podcast talking through. |
| 0:56.1 | So in this episode, you're going to hear how Evan thinks about how he runs his business and what |
| 1:00.4 | he learned being a firefighter that made him successful in business. You're also going to discover |
| 1:05.5 | how he accomplished two seven-figure accomplishments in just under three years. That's a seven-figure business, |
| 1:13.0 | and that's a seven-figure person audience. And you're also going to hear he and I talk about |
| 1:18.9 | why we think his rise to success was so fast. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed |
| 1:25.0 | recording this episode with Evan. Enjoy it. |
| 1:29.6 | Evan, my man, great to see you. |
| 1:30.8 | Welcome to Capitalism.com. |
| 1:31.3 | How are you? |
| 1:33.0 | I'm doing really good. |
| 1:34.6 | I'll repeat my answer from earlier. |
| 1:35.4 | Dude, I'm overpaid. |
