The Auction King - Antiques to Adventures

In this episode, I sit down with my father-in-law, Paul Brown, who has spent his entire life in the antique business. We dive into the importance of doing what you love and finding ways to make a living from it. We explore the pitfalls of working for someone else and the benefits of running your own business. Paul shares his wealth of experiences in the antique industry and offers valuable advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Our conversation covers a range of topics, including the education system, the value of small towns, and the importance of financial independence. We also discuss the desire for unique and valuable possessions, the satisfaction of working with your hands, the decline of American manufacturing, and the impact of television and media. Paul highlights the need for strong, resilient men and emphasizes the significance of staying active and fit.

I also share my own experiences with fitness and travel, talking about how running has become a regular part of my life, my adventures in biking, hiking, and participating in marathons. I open up about my battle with prostate cancer and how it motivated me to pursue my fitness goals. We wrap up with a discussion on the importance of family and the joy of raising children.

Join us for an engaging and inspiring conversation that touches on business, life, and everything in between.
