Why do we place so much emphasis on compromise? And why do we so often settle for a mediocre outcome when our potential is so much greater? From the moment we're able to comprehend human language, our parents and educators have been teaching us the importance of compromise. We've been taught to think that compromise is essential for successful relationships, careers, and even in our businesses. But, what if we've been misled all along? What if the secret to a fulfilled life is actually placing greater emphasis on NOT compromising? What if it were possible to achieve success without sacrifice? I believe it is possible - and in this first episode of the Uncompromised Podcast I'm going to introduce you to exactly how we'll journey through that together.
It's been awhile since you've heard new episodes of the COPreneur Path Podcast. In this episode I'm going to tell you why...
About Rob Krecak
Rob is a thrill-seeker, self-professed nerd, question asker, voracious reader, competitor, keynote speaker, and business builder. When he first got his Wall Street job as a sell-side equity analyst out of college, he thought he’d made it. After buying everything he wanted on his wishlist, he realized that he still wasn’t happy. He listened to his deep-down desire to help more people by leaving finance to eventually own three Anytime Fitness health clubs, four uBreakiFix cell phone repair stores, and a tech startup. As someone vulnerable to technology’s addictive hold from a young age—video games and Facebook in particular—Rob is on a mission to help individuals and companies reduce stress and get back time to master their careers and lives. He founded Humans First to provide a one-of-a-kind consulting experience that analyzes people’s efficiency and energy by paying attention to their technology mindfulness. Rob thinks there is always something to be learned from everyone, and lets his curiosity guide conversations. In his spare time, he likes to do CrossFit, better himself through reading, travel, and spend time with his wife Niki.

About Mark YoungMark Young is an entrepreneur, educator, author, philanthropist, and travel nut. If ever a person existed who can point out everything that is wrong with anything, you’ve just found him. It’s a terrible trait when trying to make friends, but one that always seems to make for successful implementation. Seriously, this guy can find the flaw in any plan –and manages to do it before anything goes wrong. It’s really annoying, at first, but if you keep an open mind to the criticism, it’s just gold. And having been an entrepreneur and marketer for nearly 30 years, we would be remiss not to. listen.
At the root of everything, however, Mark is an educator and teacher. Disassembling projects, campaigns, or even financial statements, Mark manages to reverse engineer a solution, then takes the time to teach anyone who will stop and listen. And it is no wonder, given the fact that he holds university degrees in nearly every discipline you can imagine. And if you ask him why, he’ll simply reply, “Why not?” Ask about the time he decided to join American MENSA on a dare –and succeeded. All of that said, Mark’s most admirable quality is the genuine concern and ownership he takes of his clients’ businesses. If there were a way to give more than 100%, this is the guy who would find a way to do it. He works the numbers, then works them again, reducing everything to a metric and finding ways to improve.
“Do the right thing for the client, regardless of the cost. It’ll come back to you. I promise.” – Mark Young

I focused primarily on fugitives and narcotics in rural areas, working with the FBI, DEA, HSI, USPI, Secret Service, and the US Marshals Violent Offender Task Force. During this time, I earned 9 instructor certifications, served as a Field Training Officer, and discovered a love for teaching.

About Adam Wills
I help companies who market products and services related to law enforcement or the military, or are in the hunting & fishing, dignitary security, private security, and private investigations industries.
As a former 15-year law enforcement veteran, deputized US Marshal, law enforcement administrator, lover of hunting and fishing, and enthusiast of all things tactical, I know how to speak yours and your customer's language.
About Austin Molcyk
I began my career in public service with firefighting and EMS, as 4 of the 5 people in my family did. After two years I was presented the opportunity to switch to law enforcement and never looked back. I worked the jail, switched to patrol, climbed to Patrol Sergeant, and was accepted onto SWAT. I focused primarily on fugitives and narcotics in rural areas, working with the FBI, DEA, HSI, USPI, Secret Service, and the US Marshals Violent Offender Task Force.
During this time, I earned 9 instructor certifications, served as a Field Training Officer, and discovered a love for teaching.
After 8 adventurous years in law enforcement, fate dictated I take a medical retirement. I am now the Chief Automation Officer for BreacherCRM, and Client Success Manager for StoryWeb Creative. I am also in the product testing stage for a revolutionary new emergency communications platform I hope to launch in late 2022.

If you've ever sat through any form of presentation, chances are great that you've been in one that just... sucked. If you've ever been tasked with giving a presentation, hopefully you've remembered those lackluster presentations and wanted to stay far away from hosting one of your own. But how? How do you manage to captivate an audience while still being informative? Dan Fraser of Fraser Training Solutions, and author of "Kickass Presentations" joins us this week to help break the topic down.

Is using your retirement savings as business capital a smart move, or a gamble against yourself? Daniel Blue gives his thoughts on the matter and explains that the applications that might not be as crazy as they seem at face value.
Summary? I'm not giving you a stinking summary! We're putting topics in a hat and relating ALL of them to business as they're drawn!
Wandering drunkards, Target, murder mysteries, craft beer, spelling errors, Shakespeare, and sending pictures of yourself with random women to your wife are all permissible topics.
When Tim made the choice to skip college to avoid partying, he had no idea that would be the first step in his multi-million dollar business journey. Tim sat down this week to share how he has gained hundreds of thousands of members on his platform, and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars along the way.
"If we always choose comfort, we never learn the deepest capabilities of our mind or body" -Wim "The Iceman" Hof
Just as you NEED failure and adversity in your personal life in order to grow and build character, your business NEEDS failures and adversity in order to survive and thrive.
How can you find boundaries if they aren't pushed? How can you start, grow, or scale if you're planted in the same comfortable spot? Get out there and get after it. Even the sweetest cakes need a little salt.
It doesn't matter if you meant to or not, you brought more home with you than you should have while you were (or are) a cop. Perhaps one of the biggest reasons you started your own business is to escape some of that, and take command over your own schedule. However if you can't find a way to drop those workaholic tendencies, all you've done is redefine "Retired On Duty."
Be happy. Be healthy. K.I.S.S.
All LEOs know that physical fitness can be the key to your survival on patrol. But is it really that big of a deal if you work an assignment that is mostly office hours? What if you're retired? Who could you ever need to fight for your very survival now that you're a COPreneur?
Yourself.
Despite everything you just read, my guest this week takes a very logical and guilt free approach to finding motivation and reason to carve time out in your schedule to make sure you're taking care of yourself. Can you push yourself while still remaining inside your comfort zone? Come listen and find out.
What could be more ironic than a motor cop who spent his entire career issuing citations starting a business that helps individuals with their personal finances?
In this episode we get to look inside the process that Jason Hoschouer aka Motorcop, went through as he left his law enforcement career behind to help first responders get off the vicious cycle of overtime and create a personal spending plan that works.
If you have any desire to scale or sell your business you need to hear the knowledge Bharat Kanodia brings to this episode as he explains what investors are looking for in you - and what you need to be looking for in them. As it turns out, the willingness to write or cash a big check is not the only thing that needs to be considered.
Tune in and learn why some startups get a multi-million dollar valuation right out of the gate, and why some can't; how to survive an episode of Shark Tank; and why you NEED monthly recurring revenue.

Are you taking on too many things by yourself as you start, run, or grow your business? Are you STILL doing things the way you've always done it? It might be time to take a new approach and work in a way that creates confidence in uncertainty.

Are you stuck in the concept or startup phase of your business? Does it seem like you're stalled out on accomplishing the things that are most important for moving the needle? You're not abnormal.
As cops, we become accustomed to the adrenaline rush we get from shifting focus rapidly from one task to the next. But this isn't a good habit for your business. In this episode Austin and I will share some insight into how we shift our mindset to overcome this debilitating habit.

Do you want my secret to success with my business? It's Mastermind groups.
Mastermind groups are an incredible way to hyper-charge the growth of your business - regardless of what stage you're in. I believe the people you surround yourself with will have a profound effect on your life, your thinking, and your business. Mastermind groups are for business owners, and aspiring entrepreneurs, who want to improve their business and who are willing to put the effort in. A Mastermind group is not a networking group or a coffee club, it is for individuals who are serious about growing their business and who have the discipline to follow through.
In this episode I'm going to share with you my top 10 reasons why you need to be in a Mastermind group, and I'll share with you how you can get started in one today.

When thinking about your customer journey or the path a customer follows when they do business with you, there is a difference between providing customer service and a customer experience. Today Austin and I talk about how implementing a focus on improving your customer journey, including their onboarding process and their entire experience, will help you avoid customer service issues where you are often put in the place of trying to fix something that was not working for them.
Enhancing your customer's experience and making it one they are blown away by, will grow your business. It will help you stand out from the crowd, generate referrals and positive reviews. And you will gain confidence, giving you more flexibility in your offer, allowing you to charge what you're worth. People tell stories about their experiences with businesses all the time, whether good or bad. Let your customers tell stories about the great encounter they had with you. Listen to this episode to learn how you can add value to your business with a better customer experience.

Most cops have a negative view of online learning. But as a COPreneur, you need to completely re-think your perspective.

Are you happy with the life you've created for yourself? If not, it is time for a change. Studies show that two out of every three people are not happy with their current reality. If this resonates with you, listen to this conversation I had with Cary Jack.
Cary's had a slew of jobs across an amazing array of industries. However, it wasn't until he fell victim to his ever-growing entrepreneurial burnout that he realized the importance of work-life balance. He now lives by the mantra, "Balance equals happiness." He's written a book about the "10 Alignments Framework" he uses to achieve this balance. His goal is to teach others how they too can transform their dreams into reality and stop sacrificing happiness. Are you ready to put happiness in your hustle? Listen today!

There are soooo many things to focus on in your business. Where do you put your greatest energy and attention in order to see the highest impact?
Being someone who is very detail-oriented (perfectionist 😂), I have had to come to the inconvenient reality that there are a lot of things you can ignore in your business and still be successful.

Today on the podcast, I talk with Dr. Michael Goold, a COPreneur himself and a member of the LEO2CEO Community.

There's nothing worse than finding yourself stuck IN your business when you know you need to be working ON it.

Many cops get so caught up in the idea that they need to establish a business connected to their law enforcement work that they miss out on some of the most lucrative possibilities right in front of them.
Like me, my guest today has been growing a successful business that started off as a hobby. Paul Lewis unintentionally began his business when he started stitching together custom hunting, fishing and tactical gear for himself. Friends and co-workers began asking him to make stuff for them and FHF Gear was born.
Fast-forward to today, when FHF Gear has blossomed into a huge success. It was acquired by Meat Eater Inc last year. Paul is still the company's CEO, and he tells us about his own COPreneurial path in this interview.

If you're thinking about becoming a COPreneur you don't always have to start a business from scratch. Today I'm chatting with Chad M. Bruckner, a fellow COPreneur who was able to fast-forward his journey from cop to business owner by purchasing an existing business. This can have many advantages, including having processes already in place and revenue flow, making it easier to work on your business and not in your business.
Chad shares his story from a military career, to law enforcement, and now to owning Intercounty Investigations & Solutions, a private investigations company that specializes in pre-employment screenings and investigations. He explains how the opportunity to purchase the business came to be, and how he wrestled with his final decision to leave law enforcement for the private sector. Chad also has a deep passion to help those who struggle with mental health and works diligently to break the stigma surrounding it.

SEO is a thing that most COPreneurs don't fully understand. Yet, every entrepreneur and business owner on the planet seems to put SEO at the top of the list of things they think they need for their business to succeed.
SEO is important. Very important. But unless you like throwing your hard-earned cash into a dumpster fire, you better understand the strategy behind it first.
SEO is something that you can't just take lightly or assume that you will get. SEO is one of those things where you have to plan it out and then do it right. You have to spend time and effort planning your approach and then implement it in the right way.
In this episode, my guest, Michael Knorr and l will dive into some basics of what SEO ACTUALLY is and how to start optimizing your website. If you're new to SEO and want to learn more about an effective strategy for your business, stick around till the end of the show for instruction on how to get a free audit and competitor analysis.

How do you package up and productize your intellectual knowledge? And you might be asking, what do I mean by that? Many of you have started or are growing businesses that have to do with your knowledge, your skill, your ability, and other things that you've gained during your law enforcement careers.
Maybe you have started instructor, businesses, or training businesses. And you are using those skills and that knowledge in your business. That is ultimately what you are selling. But the problem is most of you are likely on the hamster wheel of exchanging your time for money. And this is a fruitless endeavor that eventually is going to lead to your burnout.
So, this episode is all about how we take our intellectual property, our knowledge, and how we productize it, package it up, and sell it. How do we take it from something that requires us to be somewhere or do something in person to provide a service, and instead, be able to sell that in a way, put it out there into the world in a way that doesn't require your time and energy. This is a powerful concept that will allow you to live a life of freedom and enjoyment and get off of that hamster wheel.

Coming up with a valid business idea can be a sticking point for many COPreneurs. Today, I want to speak directly to the portion of the audience here that maybe hasn't yet come up with a business idea. Maybe you are in law enforcement right now, you're still on the job. And you're looking at things and saying, "You know what, maybe I need to look at what my options are and look at starting a new business. Maybe it could be an online business."
And if that's where you're at today, you're thinking about starting an online business, or maybe you already have an idea for an online business, and you want to know just how to validate that idea and what the next steps are, then this episode is for you. Listen in as my guest Jake Lang, and I talk about how to come up with a great business idea, and then how to validate it.

Websites versus social media for your business. Where do you prioritize your effort and your energy? This is a question I get asked all the time. There's a balance. Do I need a website? Why should I have a website? Am I okay to just use a Facebook business page or a LinkedIn business page? And in what balance should I give to paying attention to those different items and how do they work in conjunction with each other?
So let's go ahead and just dive right into this topic and talk about it. The very first thing I want to talk to you guys about is whether you even need a website at all. (Spoiler alert: Yes, you do!)

Scott Savage from Savage Training Group joins me on this episode to talk Copreneur. We go over his top three things to consider when planning and launching a business. There's probably a million points and things to think about, but these three are critical to your success. First, identify and be super clear about the problem you are solving. Next, become an expert or hire an expert to do the tasks a business requires. And finally, don't do the "fun stuff" first. Logos and those sorts of things can wait until after you've proven your business is viable.

We're making a bit of a shift and with season 2 of the podcast, the new COPreneur Path Podcast! This slightly different platform is actually in response to you, the listeners. I put out a survey a while back on LinkedIn and I surveyed some of you that I have direct contact with, and the response was a resounding, "Yes! We want a podcast that is focused specifically on the idea of copreneurship and the path from going from cop to copreneur, and becoming a successful post-LEO entrepreneur."
So, what I want to do today to usher in this slightly new, slightly changed, or I should say more focused podcast is to talk to you about my five biggest regrets as a copreneur. Now I feel like the term regret is sort of a stronger word than I'd like to use here, because do I actually regret anything? No, I don't. I don't regret a single thing about my journey thus far. Everything that I have been through in both a positive and a negative has been ultimately for the positive.
I don't regret a single thing, but are there things that I would like to go back and change or things that I wish that I knew before what I know now. And that's what this podcast has always been about. It's all about sharing with you my own journey and what I've learned along the way to help you be successful entrepreneurs. I'm hoping that by discussing these five biggest regrets of mine with you, that they too will be helpful. And they'll usher in this new chapter, this new season, this new era in the podcast that is now the COPreneur Path Podcast!

What happens when a law enforcement or first responder career comes to an end, whether through retirement, resignation or injury? What are the options for a new career or business? And how about the emotional, psychological and family impact of leaving? These are some of the tough questions we tackle during this episode.
I'm talking with Tom Wheelhouse, a former member of the Metropolitan Police in London who now heads up Mightify as a specialist in career change. When it comes to transitioning from your work as a law enforcement or first responder professional, Tom and I both feel it's critical to help you see that there are positive options. It's also important to understand many of the real and perceived barriers can be broken down and there are a host of tool and resources available to help you thrive.
We also touch on what agencies and employers can do to better support, develop, and retain their officers and staff. And because Tom is in the UK, we note a few of the differences and similarities between the UK and the US.This is a great conversation, be sure and listen!

In this solo episode I'm going to lay out for you the ten things I see regularly that are more likely to leave you feeling like your website is a waste of time and money than it is a valuable asset for your business.
