Today we welcome "the ronin saas" sword-swinging, B2B sales tech wizard, that can build out your salesforce instance or bounce your a$$ outa of a club (if you’re getting out of line)
Eric Dabearsforce Steeves (The Co-Owner of PKA solves)

In this episode, we talk about the unpredictable path that lead Eric and me to run our own business, how we sharpened our "sales blade" through "untraditional methods", our struggles with mental health, and how our love and background in martial arts taught us valuable life lessons.

My main takeaways

  • Believe in yourself and draw from your experiences
  • The people at the top, the ones who actually make decisions - don’t only care about pedigree or fancy resumes
  • Been through some stuff? Did you recover? Because the rise to success isn’t a straight line. It’s how you pick yourself up and persevere that is going to impress the people who actually matter 
  • Struggle with mental health? You're not alone. Eric opens up (for the first time publicly) about dealing with PTSD and his struggles with mental health.  I really appreciated him sharing this with us and hope his story will help our listeners who might be going through something similar. 
If you're struggling with mental health. Please seek professional help. If you need someone to talk to, or need advice on how to go about seeking help - please reach out to either me or Eric Steeves. We'd be happy to help in any way that we can.
