    Why do we place so much emphasis on compromise? And why do we so often settle for a mediocre outcome when our potential is so much greater? From the moment we're able to comprehend human language, our parents and educators have been teaching us the importance of compromise. We've been taught to think that compromise is essential for successful relationships, careers, and even in our businesses. But, what if we've been misled all along? What if the secret to a fulfilled life is actually placing greater emphasis on NOT compromising? What if it were possible to achieve success without sacrifice? I believe it is possible - and in this first episode of the Uncompromised Podcast I'm going to introduce you to exactly how we'll journey through that together.

Simply put, your business WILL ALWAYS HAVE an online presence.

    When you've been doing the same thing over and over and over again for 21 years you get options. You can get really good at that thing. You can start to not like it anymore. You can analyze it in ways it has never been analyzed before and pick it apart. You can look for ways to make it better. Jason Louis may have done just that. After spending a significant amount of time training other officers, Jason took his gripe sheet and turned it into a to-do list. He started working on changing law enforcement training in a way that most haven't ever seen before, and founded The Briefing Room. Rather than the same cherry picked scenarios and 4,000 slide death-by-PowerPoint, The Briefing Room creates clear, concise videos that stay front of mind and encourage mental exercises and discussion.

Chad shares his story from a military career, to law enforcement, and now to owning Intercounty Investigations & Solutions, a private investigations company that specializes in pre-employment screenings and investigations.
