First Due Entrepreneurs is a podcast that brings on guests that are active or retired first responders and who also own/run a business. Your host, Ryan Ballard, is a firefighter and entrepreneur himself. He will go over the successes and difficulties first responders face while running a business at the same time. Ryan encourages First Due Entrepreneurs’ guests to showcase their businesses and talk through any issues they have encountered. We let our guests share on the subjects they’re well-known for.
In today's episode, we are talking with Justin Frank. Justin is a firefighter/paramedic in Washington State. He also owns and operates Easy Street Equity. Justin has a wealth of knowledge in the fitness and health field as well! We had a great conversation on health, fitness, and his business with real estate investing. Justin brings up a great tip about joining mastermind groups and/or mentorship programs as an entreprenuer. Tune in for an awesome conversation!
