b'Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Ron Fugle, Military Veteran and host of the podcast \\u201cFire and Adjust.\\u201d\\n\\nMore about Ron:\\nRon spent several years in the Military. Upon leaving 14 years ago, he struggled to find a new purpose in life. As is often the case for Veterans, lack of finances prevented the option for college. He decided to return to the automotive industry, however, it did not fill the void of helping others and the need to serve his community.\\n\\nIt was a long process trying to figure out what kind of business he was passionate about. Ron tried his hand at e-Bay and several other projects, but allowed life events to derail his focus. He witnessed people working their whole lives for retirement that didn\\u2019t make it to 65, didn\\u2019t get to enjoy their lives. Ron decided he didn\\u2019t want that for his future. Ron wanted to be involved in a part of something bigger than himself. He felt a passion to assist those leaving the military with their career endeavors. (aside from me \\u2013 isn\\u2019t it amazing the many niches that can become business ventures. Remember, the world is now at your doorstep, thanks to the internet and social media!)\\n\\nFire and Adjust is a podcast in which Ron interviews other successful veterans \\u2013 actors, authors, models \\u2013 and supports them in their new calling. He feels that highlighting the amazing things Military personnel and Veterans are doing is his way of continuing to serve. Ron hopes to spark an interest in other Veterans who have that entrepreneurial fire.\\n\\nIn order to forge ahead, Ron began to soak in information from every medium; books, magazines, and podcasts became his life. In fact, podcasts took over his life so much so that he listened to them while he slept. He became involved in Mastermind groups to reconcile grief from the past with what his heart wants for his future.\\nFire and Adjust is currently a work in progress. Ken feels that sponsors who align with his target audience, such as Veteran owned businesses, would be perfect to bring on. He has a vision of a group of action takers with a Military background being on board with him, and that the podcast project will always be something that is supporting the Military community in one way or another.\\n\\nRon explains:\\n\\u2022 How stepping out of his comfort zone (click here for Episode 15) was key for growth. He has learned that the things that scare you the most generally have the greatest rewards\\n\\u2022 That we need to learn to like being uncomfortable, as that is when we learn\\n\\u2022 How numerous life altering events - including the suicides and murders of several family members \\u2013 made him realize the need to drive ahead as we are not promised tomorrow\\n\\u2022 How the \\u201cAmerican Dream\\u201d seems a bit backward as happiness should trump wealth\\n\\nInpirational Quotes\\n\\u201cDrive on.\\u201d Ron Fugle has always felt that you have to just drive forward and trust that others have your back. Surround yourself with good people, likeminded people and you will have that safety net.\\n\\u201cTo be old and wise you must first be young and stupid.\\u201d You only learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of those around you.\\n\\nRon Fugle\\u2019s book suggestions:\\n\\nThe War of Art \\u2013 Steven Pressfield\\n\\nCrush It \\u2013 Gary Vaynerchuk\\n\\nStart With Why \\u2013 Simon Sinek\\n\\nRich Dad, Poor Dad \\u2013 Robert Kiyosaki\\n\\nThink and Grow Rich \\u2013 Napoleon Hill\\n\\nRon\\u2019s contact information:\\nwww.fireandadjust.com/contact'
