Episode 610 | The Ed Mylett Interview

The Power of Mentorship and Faith with Ed Mylett In this episode of the Brian Hess Show, host Brian Hess interviews Ed Mylett, a two-time best-selling author, Forbes 50 wealthiest under 50 list member, and mentor to Brian Hess. Ed attributes his success to his faith, his father's lessons, and his grandmother, who loaned him $5,000 when he was starting his business. Ed talks about how mentors have seen his potential and giftedness, and have helped him to live up to it. He also explains that faith is the primary factor he considers when selecting mentors, although it is not a requirement. Ed then discusses how community is changing the business landscape, and how entrepreneurs should play the long game in business, rather than seeking immediate gratification. He emphasizes that "business is a form of expression and an art form," and that entrepreneurs have the power to change things culturally and to stand for freedom, faith, capitalism, and other values. Finally, Ed shares his pride in raising his children without outsourcing childcare, and encourages people to "push the rock up the mountain" and to surround themselves with people who can help them do so. "You can't do it alone," he says. "You need people to help you."   www.topcontractorschool.com
