From FBI Fugitive to Becoming One of the Most Sought After Business Consultants with Ian Jarvis

In this captivating episode of the Strong as F#CK podcast, Kenny welcomes business mentor Ian Jarvis. Ian shares his dramatic and colorful past, including running from the law after a massive drug bust in the 70s, living as a federal fugitive in Europe, and eventually turning his life around to become a successful corporate executive and business consultant. Ian shares valuable insights on running a business, overcoming obstacles, the importance of delegation, and how to succeed in by focusing on people and solving problems. "I rarely tell anyone how to run their business. I tell them how to run their company. They learn that money is not a goal. Money is an outcome. My clients also understand that everything they say and do inside their firm is messaging. In most cases those messages—and the culture they drive—are at best confusing, at worst, toxic. We change that, change lives, and companies too.”This episode is a mix of thrilling personal stories and practical business advice that you won't want to miss!00:00 Introduction and Setting the Stage00:25 Meet Ian Jarvis: From Delinquent to Business Coach01:08 Ian's Wild Youth: Running from the Law01:35 Adventures in Europe: Drugs, Escapes, and Survival04:34 Life on the Run: From Ibiza to Paris11:36 Turning Point: From Fugitive to Family Man25:38 Business Insights: The Human Condition and Habits30:51 Parallels Between Fitness and Business35:54 The Importance of Personal Involvement36:25 Predictability in Business36:42 The Value of Genuine Advice37:13 Building a Successful Gym39:04 Life Lessons from Working with At-Risk Youth41:52 The Role of Education and Real-World Experience44:11 Hiring the Right People47:59 The Challenges of Managing Different Personalities50:46 The Importance of Character in Hiring55:34 The Unique Diversity of New York59:09 Starting and Structuring a Business01:07:04 Final Thoughts and Farewell
