Born To Run It

Back in 1989, Brian Scudamore, a highschool dropout, bought a $700 pickup truck and started a junk hauling business that he hoped would pay for his college tuition.  Today, Brian's 1-800-GOT-JUNK? has revolutionized the junk hauling business in North America.  In this episode, Brian and I discuss his early years as an entrepreneur, what he's learned about leadership, his uncanny ability to get massive PR (like being on the Oprah Show), and the importance of telling stories.
