Failures, victories, challenges, setbacks, ups and downs, and everything in between. They’re all part of life. It’s how we frame the rollercoaster of events and what we do about them that make us men.
Today, I’m joined by longtime friend, serial entrepreneur, hunter, husband, and father, Rick Trimmer to talk about some of his biggest challenges and how he’s learned to overcome the adversity to create an incredible life for himself and family. We cover the path of least resistance and the path of most resistance, overcoming failure and losing everything, doing the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, and putting one foot in front of the other every day.
“For every one success I had, I had nine failures…but I kept pushing through the failures.” Tweet That— Rick Trimmer

As I mentioned earlier, my guest today is Rick Trimmer. Rick and I have been friends for over 20 years when we were snot-nosed college-aged kids worrying only about girls and the next party we’d attend.
That said, Rick has gone on to create an incredible life for himself and his beautiful family. He formally retired in his late 30’s and uses his business and investment portfolio to travel the world for 6+ months of the year at a time.
He’s an incredibly successful businessman and, since I know him so well, I can tell you one of his greatest strengths is his curiosity. It’s that curiosity for life that has driven much of his success and wealth.
“Anything in life, just ask or go for it.” Tweet That— Rick Trimmer
