<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are people in this world that vibrate on a 0-50 level.  And there are some that are always on at 100%.  They have the energy of a child riddled with ADHD and an insatiable appetite for every single thing in life. They wear their heart on their sleeves and care at the deepest levels and they don’t seem to have an off button. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dave Carroll is the Founder and CEO of Dope Marketing, the Owner of a Cleaning Company, A-Type Data, and his 4th company, Lionshare Technology. He is a father and partnered with a wonderful human being who is his spouse and business partner Birynne.     </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tom starts this episode with a very simple question asking how Dave found marketing.  Dave shares how he found his way into entrepreneurship at the age of 25 by starting a cleaning company where he was strapped to a truck doing all the things required in business from cleaning gutters to writing out invoices and receipts on carbon copy paper.  Tom and Dave talk about being entrepreneurs and the women that support them.  Dave shares how he started his 3 other companies and how they serve their clients.  He talks about being a very judgmental person at one time and how he was able to temper it in order to grow into the leader he needed to be.  Tom and Dave talk about being let down by people who don’t keep their word on getting certain things done.  Core values are discussed, as well as the power of the Apex network. This is a high-energy and intense episode riddled with golden nuggets centered around family, friendships, success, and the driving force behind every single wild-eyed entrepreneur walking the planet today. You’re in for a real treat. </span></p> <p><strong>What You’ll Learn: </strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The first business Dave started at 25 years of age and what he spent most of his time doing</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;
