Freedom to Fail
On Freedom to Fail, Kyle Bringhurst interviews successful entrepreneurs and people about the unsuccessful times in their lives. This podcast was inspired by entrepreneurs who are not afraid to acknowledge that success only comes after overcoming fears and learning from our failures. Freedom to Fail is for those who have dreams of starting a business or reaching your goals but have been held back by their fears. It was created to give YOU an inside look into these failures and learn the skills they use to move forward in the face of uncertainty, so that YOU can do the same.

Episode 066 - From Career Lawyer to Million-Dollar CEO w/ Monte Deere (Kizik)
I just flew home from across the country today. While I was going through security I actually saw an advertisement posted right before the security entrance advertising the company from today's episode. It's Kizik, and they make hands-free shoes! It was brilliant marketing and specific targeting of people who may think about buying their product for the future (taking off your shoes for airport security is a hassle). This was just the perfect example of having your marketing dollars work smarter for you.
Monte Deere is the CEO of Kizik, and I had the opportunity to sit down and talk a little bit about Kizik as a whole, and his own personal journey. He had been a lawyer for his entire career before joining Kizik as the CEO, and since he joined they have really taken off. His story is amazing, and he's just a stand-up guy. I'm looking forward to you hearing this week's episode of Freedom to Fail.
