Celebrating Entrepreneurial Spirit

Scott begins by expressing his admiration for young individuals who choose to build their own businesses instead of following traditional career paths. He emphasizes the value of the "American dream," highlighting the courage and ambition required to pursue entrepreneurship at a young age.

Scott Becker [00:30]: "There's probably little that impresses me more than people in their 20s, early 30s, whatever age they are... that have decided that rather than taking the course of action of having a red job, they're going to go out and try and build a business, build the American dream, and make an effort to build something."

He humorously notes Brittany's superior talent while maintaining high regard for Carson's skills and business acumen.

Scott Becker [02:15]: "Now, of the two, Brittany's far more talented than Carson. I say that jokingly. Both are just absolutely fantastic professionals, fantastic at what they do, but more importantly than that, they've set out to build businesses, not just have a job."

Balancing Professional Excellence with Entrepreneurship

A key theme Scott touches upon is the balance between excelling in one’s craft and managing a business. He draws parallels with other professionals who have successfully built practices while maintaining high standards in their primary roles.

Scott Becker [04:10]: "It reminds me of a physician who's great at being a physician that built a practice... but they've not forgotten that they start with being great at what they do."

Building Inclusive and Diverse Teams

Scott commends both entrepreneurs for their ability to work with a wide range of clients, from elite athletes to those who may not excel athletically but still seek professional guidance. This approach not only broadens their client base but also demonstrates their versatility and commitment to inclusivity.

Scott Becker [06:00]: "They both work with people of all ages, sides of the spectrum, physically, mentally, and so forth. They do a fantastic job."

Personal Anecdotes and Light-Hearted Critique

In a humorous moment, Scott shares his playful frustration with Carson's tendency to boast about his clients' athletic prowess, adding a personal touch to the narrative and highlighting the genuine camaraderie between them.

Scott Becker [07:45]: "If I hear from Carson one more time about how that this younger colleague of mine is so strong and could bench so much and is such a great athlete, I shoot myself."

Recognition and Future Aspirations

Concluding the segment, Scott emphasizes the exceptional nature of Carson and Brittany's entrepreneurial endeavors. He suggests that their achievements merit recognition akin to prestigious groups like YPO (Young Presidents' Organization), underscoring their potential to inspire other young entrepreneurs.

Scott Becker [09:30]: "There ought to be a group for them like YPO. They're literally remarkable. Carson Ely, Brittney Corman. Today's shout out goes to those two."

This is Scott Becker with the Becker Business Podcast. Today's discussion is two shout outs to entrepreneurs, Carson Neely and Brittany Korman. So here's today's shout out. There's probably little that impresses me more than people in their 20s, early 30s, whatever age they are, I don't even know anymore, exactly, but that have decided that rather than taking the course of action of having a red job, they're going to go out and try and build a business, build the American dream, and make an effort to build something. So two of the young entrepreneurs I get to watch up front and personal are personal trainer Carson Neely, a physical therapist Brittany Corman. Now, of the two, Brittany's far more talented than Carson. I say that jokingly. Both are just absolutely fantastic professionals, fantastic at what they do, but more importantly than that, they've set out to build businesses, not just have a job. And again, if anybody listens to me regular, you know, I'm a huge admirer of anybody who has a job and works for a living and supports their family, supports themselves 9 to 5, whatever they do. Fantastic. But I'm also incredibly impressed by that percentage of the population that goes out and builds a real business, goes out and tries to build a business, puts themselves out there, grows a team, excels as an entrepreneur. And the thing that I love about these two entrepreneurs is they're both great at their craft, they're great at what they do. It reminds me of a physician who's great at being a physician that built a practice, a warrior who's great at being a lawyer, then built a practice similar to an accountant, a consultant, all kinds of areas. But they've not forgotten that they start with being great at what they do. And both of them are both exceptional. You know, they both work with people of all ages, sides of the spectrum, physically, mentally, and so forth. They do a fantastic job. I, I also am amazed sometimes that they can work with people that are both great athletes and both of them also have the ability, and I see this with, with Carson, particularly his ability to work with inferior athletes, too, that are really good people, but inferior athletes. In fact, if I hear from Carson one more time about how that this younger colleague of mine is so strong and could bench so much and is such a great athlete, I shoot myself. He's also got plenty of, plenty of candidates that for all practical purposes could be the before and before picture for fitness. I say that all jokingly, but in all truth, we have tremendous admiration for what these two young entrepreneurs are doing. There ought to be a group for them like ypo. They're literally remarkable. Carson Ely, Brittney Corman. Today's shout out goes to those two. Thank you for listening to the Becker Business and the Becker Private Equity Podcast.
