Bedros Keuilian is a massively successful CEO of one of the fastest growing franchises in the United States, but it wasn’t always that way, even recently.
In this episode, Bedros shares with Joel & Dan some of the most personal, deep and raw struggles of his life, and how he turned adversity into strength, including:
-Growing up as an immigrant from a communist country, not knowing the language
-Being extremely poor, living in government assisted housing and scavenging food from dumpsters as a kid
-The dark traumatic experience Bedros suffered as a young child, and how we can use trauma for good
-How being a “bad leader” can literally kill you
-An eye-opening discussion on self-confidence, self-esteem, self-image, and self-worth
-What it truly means to “Man Up” to create real freedom in business and in life
And so much more.
