6ers, no one can reach the pinnacle of success without putting in significant effort, and there is no magic bullet to make it happen. Every success can be traced back to the initial willingness to begin at the bottom. It's a place where you're willing to feel out of your depth because you have no idea what you're doing and success will only come with time.

This week, Tony Nash is joined by Erik Bartell is a US Army combat veteran turned business leader, brand endorser, and community builder. He was the former Executive Director of FitOps Foundation and Vice President for community at Bravo Sierra, the first military-native wellness company. Currently, Erik sits as the Brand Director for Echelon.

You will learn being at the bottom means you're laying the groundwork for future success. Knowing that true success is worth every hour and time you spend building a strong foundation, you take advantage of the fact that few people are willing to start from zero.

As a result, this leads you to work hard and associate with positive influences. Getting your hands dirty alongside your squad is a deliberate strategy for honing your leadership abilities and putting your plans into action. So that you can pursue more opportunities and improve as a person, you work hard to ensure that you are replaceable.
