So many men out there are unhappy with the direction or course of their life, but I can tell you personally that there has been no greater move

I could have made in my own life than to start my own businesses. The lessons I've learned the progress I've made and the life I've created cannot be

Duplicated living any other way. Today my guest Tom Reber shares with us the five most important reasons you should consider starting a business, the bare minimums

You'll need to get started and how you can take ownership of your life through entrepreneurship.

You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. Embrace your fears and boldly charge your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time. Every time. You are not easily deterred or defeated.

Rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life. This is who you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day and after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man.

Tom, thanks for joining us glad you hear man. Thanks for having Ryan. It's great to be here man. How are you doing? I'm really good. I'm really good. I'm recovering from a cold. You know that right. But on the men and feeling a lot better. So I appreciate you asking.

Oh good. I'm glad to hear it. So I'm really excited to have this conversation because this is something that obviously with order of man and what I see other men doing is something that I'm passionate about and that is the idea and concept of starting a business and the first question I want to ask you is why do you think it's important.

Assuming that you think this is important that men start businesses and become entrepreneurs. Oh wow man you start out with a great question. That's good.

We don't mess around. That's like, you know, hello. Good morning. Here we are. No. Well, first of all, you know, a few things come to mind right away. Like I had this just flash of stuff that popped in my head when you asked me that question and and the first thing that came came to mind is there's a show. I think it's on the history channel called Vikings. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't know. You're in a half a go or whatever. I was watching it. And there was this one guy who's kind of like the main guy. And he wants to come to me.

And he wants to go west and explore and the king wants to go east and raid every year. Right. And this guy's got like 30 dudes with him and he says let's get in a boat and let's go.

Let's go west because we don't know what's out there. And they were catching slack for it. And everyone's like, hey, I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. And this got one of this guy's really good friends is standing there. And he hasn't said he's that he's in yet.

The dude walks up to me and he says brother, are you are you with me or not? Right. And his answer was so cool. And he says, of course, because I need stories to tell my kids.

And that was the first thing I thought of when you asked why should men start businesses because there's a lot of cool crap that happens when you start a business.

Yeah, that's a lot of crazy stuff. And it's an adventure. And I just like the idea number one of creating a story that I can't get working for a corporation.

That's the first thing I popped into my mind. The second thing is I want to control my future. And as men, there's a lot of things in the world that I think are coming after us in a lot of ways.
