Brian Luebben

How you doing?

Brian, I'm doing great.

I appreciate you having me on here.

Dude, it's been, uh...

So you were listening to the podcast and now you're on the podcast.

So what's advice that you would give to somebody that's listening to this show right now, uh, of, like, what you did different to be the person that's on the show instead of just listening?

Yeah, that's great, Brian.

I was, I was exactly that guy, like you said.

And they're like a busy professional.

They're like, screw Brian.

I don't want to do all this extra work he's talking about.

Because I'm like...

Some people are up for it.

Get to work.

And then so for the person that's listening, it goes, hey, Brian, no, I'm with Rich and Kathy.

I want to invest in this.

What's up, brother? How are we doing?

Thanks so much, Brian.

I am doing fantastic.

It's, uh, it is a full circle moment being on here today, and, uh, it's cool because when I first started all of this, uh, I was wanting to start a podcast, and I searched networking podcasts, and Action Academy was, like, the second one that popped up, and I listened to it, and that's how really I ended up where I am today being here on the podcast.

So really quickly, let's talk about, you know, where we are today, what you're doing today, and then we'll reverse engineer the story for people.

Yeah, for sure.

So as Brian said, my name's Hayden Fike.

Uh, I'm based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, um, just a stone's throw away from where Brian grew up.
