About this audiobook
Some people are just not wired for normal. They never were.
What if the most dangerous thing you ever did was play it safe?
Scott Rennie didn't have a business degree, an investor, or a grand plan. What he had was the ability to see problems that other people walked past — and the nerve to solve them. Hoof trimming. Kitchen refacing. Mobile escape rooms. Portable toilets. None of it glamorous. All of it real. All of it built from scratch with no borrowed money.
This is the story of how an ordinary farm kid built an extraordinary life — one unglamorous business at a time.
For the restless ones. The side hustlers. The ones grinding through something that doesn't fit while quietly wondering if there's something better out there.
The pension is a fine thing. But it won't answer the question.
Only you can answer it. And the only way to answer it is to try.
