Alden Mills - Making the INC List & Being Unstoppable with a Navy SEAL Triple Platoon Commander

Throughout his life, Alden Mills has found a way to turn setbacks into setups, always rising to the occasion to innovate and outperform. This is a gripping, highly motivational, gritty episode that will both light you on fire and inspire you to take real action towards building your battle ready brand.   EPISODE NOTES Season #1 of Battle Ready Brands is entitled "Startup Horror Stories" where we seek to find as many stories as possible of "things gone wrong in entrepreneurship." Rather than glorify all the success that can come with building a successful brand, we want to hear all the events that led up to the success -- both the good and the bad. If you're looking for an episode to supercharge your drive, will, and resolve to build your battle ready brand, then look no further. Simply put, Alden Mills is a BEAST! Alden was: - Told by a doctor to never play sports again for health reasons... AND YET -- he went on to become a national rowing champion - Was on the brink of failing and being expelled from the Naval Academy... AND YET -- he graduated and went on to lead THREE teams into combat as a Navy SEAL Platoon Commander - Was told by some of his friends and investors to "stop trying to sell his invention because he was just an embarrassment"... AND YET -- his invention (and subsequent inventions) took his company "Perfect Fitness" to the top of the Inc Fastest Growing Company in America list. He has since written two books and is tearing up the speaking circuit. Battle Ready Brands Tribe.... THIS EPISODE IS A MUST-LISTEN.
