Wayfinders with Mike Brcic

In this episode, Joe is joined by the winner of the 11th Annual FedEx Small Business Grant Contest Barton O’Brien. Bart is a Marine Corps Veteran and the founder of BAYDOG, a pet supply company. Transitioning out of the Marine Corps following his third deployment, Bart attended graduate school before starting a career in finance. Wanting more professionally and personally from his career than life on Wall Street had to offer, Bart shifted his focus to entrepreneurship. Bart shares with Joe the story behind BAYDOG and what makes his company stand out from others in the market. He discusses how skills Veterans learn in the military can empower them as entrepreneurs and the importance of not being afraid to fail. Check out BAYDOG here and remember to use the promo VETERAN20 to save 20%.About Our Guest  BAYDOG was founded by Barton (Bart) OBrien, a reformed Wall Streeter and avid dog lover. After years of working in finance in London and New York, Bart decided he needed a change. He quit his job and the very next day picked up his new puppy -an adorable white Labrador Retriever named Walter. Soon after, they left the big city and founded BAYDOG, a pet supply business with products that look great, are highly functional, and go with their coastal lifestyle. BAYDOG products are named after different bays throughout the US. And as a Veteran-Owned business, BAYDOG donates a portion of its profits to charities serving veterans and dogs.

In this episode, Joe is joined by the winner of the 11th Annual FedEx Small Business Grant Contest Barton O’Brien. Bart is a Marine Corps Veteran and the founder of BAYDOG, a pet supply company. Transitioning out of the Marine Corps following his third deployment, Bart attended graduate school before starting a career in finance. Wanting more professionally and personally from his career than life on Wall Street had to offer, Bart shifted his focus to entrepreneurship. Bart shares with Joe the story behind BAYDOG and what makes his company stand out from others in the market. He discusses how skills Veterans learn in the military can empower them as entrepreneurs and the importance of not being afraid to fail. Check out BAYDOG here and remember to use the promo VETERAN20 to save 20%. About Our Guest   BAYDOG was founded by Barton (Bart) OBrien, a reformed Wall Streeter and avid dog lover. After years of working in finance in London and New York, Bart decided he needed a change. He quit his job and the very next day picked up his new puppy -an adorable white Labrador Retriever named Walter. Soon after, they left the big city and founded BAYDOG, a pet supply business with products that look great, are highly functional, and go with their coastal lifestyle. BAYDOG products are named after different bays throughout the US. And as a Veteran-Owned business, BAYDOG donates a portion of its profits to charities serving veterans and dogs.

About this EpisodeToday we are honored to host Jeremy Gray on the show. Jeremy is a former Navy veteran and is the founder of Noble Consulting. Jeremy struggled in business and had some great opportunities. Today Jeremy will talk about lessons learned and his success story.Key Points of Discussion 	Jeremy’s life story 	Transition plan 	Side hustle and income from side hustle 	Importance of leadership in corporate sector 	John Maxwell system of leadership 	Advice for veteransKey Milestones of this Episode[01:09] Jeremy Gray’s life story[01:35] Jeremy’s transition plan[04:36] Coaching people[08:32] Income from side hustle[14:57] Consultant business and clients[19:52] Importance of leadership in corporate world[23:54] Execution of John Maxwell’s system[27:57] Mastermind groups[30:02] Advice for the veteransKey Quotes  	“It's that frustrating flight when you know you're getting to your destination and you had to touch down immediately after takeoff because of some issue.” 	“Civilian companies do like to hire based on technical skill or hard skills.” 	“We didn't realize that the veteran is able to positively influence the rest of their team or their group where everybody else has to bring up their ability and really start improving results.” 	“It's really the leadership in the individual at the top.” 	“I find it interesting that these companies have hired based on technical skill, but have forgotten about the whole leadership thing and really it's the lack of leadership that's holding individuals or the company back in order to move to the next level.” 	“I also believe that everything rises and falls on leadership, and the great leaders really have to influence people for generations.” 	“The three things I know if you're going in entrepreneurship:  1.) Attend the Boots to Business class 2.) Please reach out to me or reach out to somebody that's a veteran and have left the military so we can kind give you an accurate picture of what it really might look like. It's not always roses but it's not always a bad spot either  3.) Be financially prepared.”About Our Guest  Jeremy L. Gray is the Principal Consultant for Noble Consulting.

Attend the Boots to Business class 2.) Please reach out to me or reach out to somebody that's a veteran and have left the military so we can kind give you an accurate picture of what it really might look like. It's not always roses but it's not always a bad spot either  3.) Be financially prepared.” About Our Guest   Jeremy L. Gray is the Principal Consultant for Noble Consulting.
