Not all entrepreneurs make it. Almost a quarter of new businesses fail within their first year, all because of poor planning and execution. Maybe an injection of military tactics and practices could change that.
Welcome to The Psychology of Entrepreneurship, a candid and revealing series that follows Ronsley Vaz and his guests, as they strive to unravel the inner workings of the entrepreneurial mind and explain why even the most successful among us experience Imposter Syndrome.
If you are someone who is holding back, feeling unworthy of your success or questioning your competency as a professional, this podcast is for you.
In this volume, Ronsley speaks with the military man turned successful entrepreneur, Mike Brown. Mike is the Co-founder of Palmares Energy, a veteran-owned and operated business mineral rights buying company.
In 2003, Mike was a United States Naval Academy graduate and later an F/A-18F Super Hornet pilot who flew combat missions in Operation Iraqi Freedom and by 2011, Mike had returned to Texas to pursue his dream of working as an oil and gas professional.
In this volume, Ronsley and Mike discuss the multiple military disciplines that can be effectively implemented into the business world. They explore how more money can lead to extreme procrastination and why sometimes you just have to ‘shut the f**k up,’ to get the bigger picture.
