Karl Jacobi (00:00)
You do not need another podcast that hypes you up for 10 minutes and tells you nothing. You need real conversations with people who have actually done the work. Welcome to the Grit Factor podcast. I'm Karl Jacobi, Army Combat Vet, Founder, Entrepreneur, and Coach. I've built businesses, I've exited companies, and I've taken my fair share of punches in life.

This show is about one thing, how high achievers became who they are. Not the highlight reel, not the fake overnight success story. I'm talking about the habits, the decisions, the discipline, the seasons that almost broke them, and the faith, grit, leadership, and the work ethic that pulled them through. If you're a founder,

a business owner, a leader, or a builder. If you're trying to win at work without losing your family, if you want to strengthen your marriage, lead your home, build a winning culture, and still keep your soul intact, you're in the right place. Every week we drop new episodes, Tuesdays and Fridays.

Some are interviews with high performing people who lay it all out. What worked, what didn't, what they never do again. And some are solo episodes for me. Straight talk, real lessons, stuff you can actually apply. Why should you listen? Because you can borrow the mindset of people who have already paid the price. You can copy what works.

Avoid the dumb mistakes and you can build a life you're proud of. So hit subscribe, turn on notifications and let's build your grit one real conversation at a time.
