Built for the Cold
This is ICE COLD RESILIENCE. How to go through the D's (debt, despair, death, demoted, de-edified, amongst others) of life and not blame the G-O-D.
Joe Wanner invites you to join Generation Zero—where excuses, victimhood, and critics hold no power. This podcast brings you three 'cold' segments: Ice Cold Resilience for staying strong in life's storms, Melting Your Cold Audience for mastering cold calls and networking, and Ice Cold Peak Performance Health Systems for building unstoppable health habits. Transform your health, business, and mindset with the coolest strategies around!
Built for the Cold
He Lost Everything... Then Built a $15M Insurance Empire | David Price
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
"Entrepreneurship is like running a race, but no one's telling you where the finish line is. Just run. We'll tell you when to stop."
David grew up in New Jersey with teenage drug-addicted parents, lived in 20 different places before high school, and battled his own 20-year heroin addiction. After hitting rock bottom on his grandmother's pullout couch with nothing but two bags of clothes, he got clean in 2012 — and built a $15 million insurance business from scratch.
In this raw conversation, David shares his entire journey: the $20K he made in his first 6 months selling insurance, why he turned down millions in disaster relief work to stick with his vision, and how he went from sleeping on a futon to making $1 million passively in year four.
