One of the many reasons I do this podcast is to show you that work doesn’t have to be miserable, you can actually make work fun.
Brandon Webb made making his work fun the guiding principle of his career.
He’s the founder and CEO of Hurricane Group, a network of content brands and products for military and outdoor enthusiasts.
Currently, his company is generating an annual revenue of over 8-figures!
He had an incredible journey on his way to making that kind of revenue, he left the Navy Seals at the height of his military career in 2006, lost all his money in his first startup and had what he called a good divorce.
