The 7 Drives That Fuel Every Entrepreneur
Wednesday Jul 04, 2018
Wednesday Jul 04, 2018
Ep #43 - Hey everyone, we are on the cusp of the launch of my brand new book, The Firebox Principle: The 7 Drives Fuel Every Entrepreneur and I wanted to get into the content that you can expect in this great resource. I have studied the most successful entrepreneurs on the planet and have distilled down the key drives that fuel the actions of these key people.
In this episode, I will walk through the names and motives behind each of these 7 drives and relate them back to how they show up in business.
To get all the details, check out my brand new book, The Firebox Principle: The 7 Drives that Fuel Every Entrepreneur, which will be released on Amazon next week.
A quiz which will allow you to identify which drive you fit into will be coming soon to accompany the book. For a limited time, you will have a chance to take the quiz free before I begin charging later this year.

Friday Jun 29, 2018
Ep #42 - Matt Brauning recorded this bonus session of the Purpose Driven Entrepreneur Podcast while in Las Vegas for a conference.
The quote of the night for this episode is this: “We must go through the fire of not knowing...”
If you think about your life and your experiences which have brought you all the way to where you are now, would you have done things differently?
Would you still be where you are without the knowledge gained from going through the "fire" of your past experiences?
Matt postulates the question here and shares some great insights and information.

[Bonus Episode] - The Journey of Entrepreneurship
Thursday Jun 07, 2018
Thursday Jun 07, 2018
Ep #36 - After speaking with Christian Mickelsen’s amazing high level mastermind peeps, Matt got to thinking about the journey of entrepreneurship from origin to now.
What should we be willing to do in business in the beginning, middle, and twilight of our careers?
In this episode, Matt will share his take on whether we should be willing to work hard as entrepeneurs.
Does entrepreneurship require absolute hustle and grind or is owning your own business about freedom and enjoying the good life?
We would love to hear your thoughts on this. Message Matt though social media and let him know whether you believe entrepreneurship is about "work" or if it's about "freedom."
Remember, the podcast drops twice per week with a full interview episode on Tuesdays and a bonus teaching session on Fridays.
