Alright, everybody. Welcome back to the hungriest episode of the mind of George show. And I'm going to be really, really honest. Some of you know, I'm doing the 75 hard challenge and I have to eat a certain way to support everybody and follow Andy's thing. And my guest today is probably the worst guest to have when it comes to being hungry and the best cast to have when it comes to business resiliency, overcoming challenges, mindset, leadership, and everything in between.Right. So like, let me just throw this out here before I bring Nick and, but we're talking world pizza team went from pizza delivery guy to owning six franchises awards across the board. Motivational speaker, everything that you can imagine. Podcast hosts has a book out there and really like probably a man after my heart.Every single thing that we talk about, or every single thing that he has somehow has pizza or food involved. So that inner fat kid that I work really hard to keep at Bay is going to be happy for today's episode. So without further ado, Nick, welcome to the show.  Nick: Thanks for having me, George, I'm super excited to be here.George: Thanks for your time. And I'm, I'm just excited after digging into like your story, I found a keynote talking about you as a child and a resiliency and mindset. One of the first things that I always love to ask my guests, and I think this is so right up your alley and something that you're probably experiencing now and also have experienced in the past. But I always ask people like, what was one of the biggest challenges or struggles or failures that you you've had in business. And what was the lesson that you learned?Nick:  There's there's been a lot of them. I think a lot of times people think that it just, everything happened overnight. They see the success and they think, wow, you know, this guy got lucky, but I think that any entrepreneur knows out there that, there's a lot of opposites and it's a giant roller coaster.From the very beginning giving I was a pizza delivery driver finally got my own shot at my own restaurant. And I had a partner from the very beginning and  It, that was it. That was the big mistake. It lasted. We took over the restaurant September 14th and by Thanksgiving I had to tell my partner, he had to go because he just could not stop drinking.We bought a restaurant and a bar andhe was somebody I knew for eight years, good friend. He was going to be high. I was going to be the knowhow behind it. And I had to tell him he had to get out and he was okay with it because he really thought, you know what? I'm okay. It's okay. Because he's not, there's no way I was going to come up with the money. And I'm the guy, the issue there who were selling it to a saw how hard I was working. So they were like, you know whatwe don't like your partner either because every time we're here, he's drunk. So we'll just go ahead and we'll finance it over five years.Give us what you can give us this amount and the rest is history, but I think the lesson I learned from that is, you know, believe in yourself, you know what? I think a lot of times people get into business and they think they need a partner. And you know, if you work hard enough and think smart enough, and there's a lot of people out there that you can ask for for help, like, don't be, you know, be humble, be somebody that will ask for help when you know.George: Yeah, man, I, I love that it, and I think that's something that you like after digging in a little bit like full disclosure. You're probably the only guest I researched because you're like the most interesting man to me. And I was like, I got to keep finding out more. And like, even at a very young age for you though, like even when you were growing up, I think you have like four brothers, right?So three brothers, even at an early age, you found that you tilted more towards like wanting to be a coach, wanting to be a leader, like finding out these parts of yourself that you could share with ot
