I didn't know who Ed Mylett is. I recently started my own business, investing my life savings, and some days it's a struggle when it feels like progress isn't happening. I'm glad I took the time to listen to this I'm checking out his book and he seems like a great guy. Loved all the anecdotes he shared, very real.
I'm not in or from Utah, but I fully support that decision. I'm pretty sure he would be miserable as a politician, but making that sacrifice for a while would help quite a lot of people
First and foremost I want to say thank you and God Bless you all for having this podcast with Ed Mylett whom I had never heard of before this. I'm 52 and have been a self employed fabricator of fiberglass composites, offshore powerboats, and anything metal since I was 22. A private pilot and proud father at 33 I can truly appreciate and relate to you guys. I have had my ups and downs along with failures but never gave up hope or faith in myself and never quit.. As everyone in business can relate to Covid struck and I never imagined I would be in the hardest struggle of my life. I knew it would be bad but never dreamed it would take me downhill and send me to the quicksand that slowly took me or almost took me to the point of no return. In fact you can tell a thousand souls that to get to Heaven we must accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and through him all can be free from sin, sickness, and blessed beyond belief! If only one soul is saved out of a thousand then that is worth every word spoken! Well this podcast saved a soul and a life I never thought I would consider ending my own life but as I sat in front of my computer in tears and ready to give in to the devil and do just that, I came across this podcast in the early hours of Mar 13th. Ed truly touched my soul because I too have been on the couch, facing foreclosure, playing cat and mouse with the repo man.. water and power getting shut off only to add a hundred bucks to get it turned back on, I mean with you already can't pay the bill and they add more to it! March 13 at 3:23 AM is when I viewed this podcast and had I not seen this I probably wouldn't have seen March 14th. I have since shown this video to numerous friends and it never gets old in fact the more I watch it the more inspired and motivated I get. As soon as I can afford to buy Ed's book I will order one.. not looking for a charity case It's a goal I have set.. My brothers I could go on and on but I will stop here for now and just know that you guys saved my life and gave me hope and inspiration to be better than ever.. for that I thank you , love you, and I hope to meet all of you one day. So please keep doing what your doing because who knows how many more lives you may save? God Bless you all and your families!
@@angiesiddoway6040 I felt that was the right thing to do as I'm not ashamed. I hope that maybe it will touch someone in a way that may bring them from the bottom and let them know there is hope. I'm glad to say that as of today I am feeling much better about myself and life.. Not that I don't struggle with life at times still, but the future has hope!
Ed, you are so inspirational, and so are everyone around the table on this video. I learnt from a young age that I had to inspire myself, the people in my world were toxic and it felt wrong to go against my parents and against people who I thought were friends, and I had this set of ideals and I kept to them. The toxic things that impacted me, I treated it like the weather, like you can't do nothing to stop the rain, but you can dress for the rain and once it rolls off you it has no impact, and the memory disappears with the dampness. I've followed my dreams, from saying in front of class when I was 16 that I was going into modelling, and once the class stopped laughing, I said railroad modelling I did nothing else but create. I tried to create when my stepfather would have me pull apart my first model railways because he was jealous, he liked railways, but I did something he couldn't and he wanted to keep my ambitions below him, but I didn't stop. I got jobs afterwards and right up to 2012 I was working for companies and being bored, despite the work being highly detailed engineering I felt restricted. When my mind got bored it started to see how the people in the company worked and the flow of command from the top to the bottom and how each person functioned, and I found I could use it to my advantage in a good way and for the better of the company. However, the last year with them was full of problems for me, as I could hardly walk after a massive car accident in 2011, where I was injured everywhere except for my skull and spine, 30+ breaks in my bones. What did I do after losing my job due to my fitness, I opened my own self-employed business, where I build miniature live steam railway engines. At this time, I could not walk properly, needed a wheelchair, but the workshop in a garden shed was at the bottom of the garden where a wheelchair couldn't go. My achievement most days was getting to the shed. There was no money, hardly any tools and material, but I've stuck at it. In 2015 I moved to Wales, UK and into a house with a bigger workshop and by 2017 I was starting to not need a mobility scooter as much to get around. I've completed work and got a low cash flow through, but I'm getting there. When I started my business, I had only basic knowledge of using a lathe, then bought a milling machine and learnt how to use it, and the engines I build don't use any castings, it's all hand made. The lathe and milling machine are analogue, and I don't use any castings. Anything I do is limited by my lower right arm which has 7-inch-long plates in both the bones, and more metalwork in both my ankles. I was told that I shouldn't be doing what I am doing, it shouldn't be possible. Frequently the joints in my feet will dislocate and cause pain, then they will snap back into place when they feel like it. To do most things feels like it need 3 times the energy. You would think that my injuries would have made me depressed, and you'd be wrong. My injuries came about because I threw myself in the firing line to protect my fiancé from the collision and I saved her life. I'd face Tyson and tell him that he was a pussy if it meant that my Lisa was unhurt. I'm told that the pain from the injuries should have killed me, I mean, my right foot was smashed from the heel to the toes, and not only is the foot a different length but also a different shape. My fiancé says that the pain was higher than childbirth. I really enjoy these podcasts, it helps fill in the pieces that my parents should have put there, and from the age of 3 I have pretty much been figuring out people and life, with a lot of help from my fiancé who I love so much, and next year I'm 50, and each day is a fight, but the fight is worth it, as long as you don't give up hope. I am thankful for so much, and I am so thankful to wake up next to my good lady each morning and say it was all worth it. Hopefully I'll be able to draw a wage from my company, eventually, but that is a way off yet. Just think, I started my business with no investment cash, not even £100 to my name. Thanks for sharing, guys, it means a lot to me. One day I'll buy my fiancé that dream truck she wants, and a holiday, but I won't ask for charity, I'll get there eventually. Looking forward to the next podcast.

It's text don't be a politician be a statesman. If you don't know the difference between the 2 and I'm guessing you probably do. Please look it up. If I was in Utah instead of Idaho I would definitely vote For you. I will post your. I will push your campaign on social media every chance I get
