“There has never been a time in history where it is easier to monetize your passions with all of the available tools. There’s no excuse.”
Going from suits and shaking hands to hoodies and headlocks might not seem like a real career path, but that’s precisely what Erik did. Martial arts had been a fascination for Erik, and through the practice, he learned discipline, work ethic, and dedication needed to follow through on your commitments, even if they’re hard. This story will inspire you to try all of your craziest business ideas because you never know which failure will lead to your next great success. Erik also explains how he’s giving back to the martial arts community through Budo Brothers’ nonprofit, Budo Youth Fund, to provide 10% of all profits from the brand to ignite the passion and dreams of children around the world through martial arts.
