Manage episode 344001690 series 3203711
Kevin thinks that the coolest things in the world are his wife and kids. He's worked very hard to create a lifestyle that maximizes his time with them.
Outside of spending time with his family, Kevin helps small businesses set up and run automated marketing campaigns. Although he advises that people create the simplest marketing system that works, his best customers tend to be people who have very complicated systems that require a lot of maintenance to keep the systems connected and working.
Kevin also spent a lot of time volunteering as an analyst for a Venture capital fund as well, where he was able to connect with and witness great ideas that failed and mediocre ideas that have taken off.
In Kevin's previous life, he graduated from West Point, served as a Field Artillery Officer in the U.S. Army and, spent a short tour in Iraq. He dabbled in Investment Real Estate and started a few other businesses with varying success.
