In today's episode we are joined by Brennan McCloud, owner of Launch It IT Services! Brennan comes from a background where he initially specialized in finance and worked for Merrill Lynch before making a full time shift to information technology and running his own business along side his wife. A high level operator who wants to raise his family as strongly as he runs his business, Brennan's episode reminds us that you don't have to be what society wants you to be. And the decision to move your own direction with intent is an amazing example to raise kids around.

In today's episode we are pleased to bring on Alex Vaughn! Alex is a worksite benefits specialist for Globe Life Liberty, a wrestling coach for Fox High School, as well as an Adventure Unknown member.

About to tie the knot himself, we dive deep into how imperative it is to spend your time wisely, to make time for yourself so you can fully invest into the people around you that matter most - friends, family, and the clients he makes sure are prepared in case the worst is to happen.
