And I said to my wife, I'm going to start working for my dad and open up a martial arts school and teach self-defense.

And she looked at me and she went, how are you going to do that?

And as soon as she said that, I knew we were getting divorced.

Like within a year, we were divorced. Welcome to another episode of the Empire Podcast. This is an episode of the

inside look. I'm Bedros Koolian and I have a very special guest today.

Tony Blower, Tony, how are you? Good, very for coming over, man. So we just got done with you

teaching Fear Management to my team here at Fit By the Boot Camp Headquarters and of course the

Empire Podcast is all about entrepreneurial growth
