In today's episode we give you the great and powerful Matt Skarin! Matt has his hands in multiple different operations, the most important of all being a father - a purpose in life he was introduced to at just 20 years old. As an adult, Matt has developed a taste for what he calls "ADHD entrepreneurship", an analogy that points to the phenomena of always having to do something productive at almost all times. This has led him to seeing great success in the worlds of insurance and real estate and for that, he is a rising star in the STL entrepreneur class!

In today's episode, we sit down with JB Westerholt - a husband and father of three here in St. Louis running multiple businesses including his exterior detailing service as his main focus as well as a steady business in real estate which he has been building over the last few years! JB's story is deep in finding his purpose and figuring out which path was right for him (business vs college), making big investments with little safety net, growing/scaling his business, finding love, and raising three kids which he also homeschools. Finding comfort in the chaos, JB reminds us that you can either live your dream or live to build someone else's.
