And we also, what we do is we empower kids to take on the real world, because we all know that not every kid is going to be an entrepreneur, but every kid can learn to be entrepreneurial. “ “My hope is there'll be way more confidence about their (children's) trajectory based on their journey and way more plugged into their own wiring that they're going to make every step count.” Social Links: Travis Adams LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/travis-adams-56b02615/ Website- myfirstsale.com/events YouTube - MyFirstSale Virtual Business Fair

When a young person lacks leadership in their life, the go astray and get in trouble. How do you think I know this? If you listen to the media or the drunk jackass at the end of the bar, you might be lead believe your youth is a lost cause. I'm here to tell you it's a lie. Our youth is so much smarter than I was when I was in my early teens. They know so much more about the world than I did. They are certainly more in touch with technology. And they hate much less because of the global connection. And, we have programs like APEX Fun Run and people like Jeremy Barnhart who is making a huge difference in thousands of kids lives.

Being a leader is the choice of those who chose to follow. Not the other way around. If you desire to be the leader for your children, your employees or even your Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Sailers, you must first take control of yourself. Take control of your emotions and actions. As for taking on APEX Fun Run as a business for yourself. I suggest you sit down with Jeremy and his team. Volunteer for one of their events or a similar event before you commit. As Jeremy sated, they are looking for people are serious. As they should be. Because you should be serious about building leaders and working with our young people.

  Apex Fun Run offers the opportunity to fund raise for schools without depending upon traditional "product-based" programs. I don't know about you but as a kid I sold my share of Turtles (the candy not the critter), candy bars like Snickers and Milky Way as well as M&Ms. On top of those items I also sold wrapping paper, Christmas trees, candles, and popcorn. Who knows what else. As a parent, I have experienced these same types of opportunities for my kids to become traveling candy salesmen.    On today's show, I am talking with Jeremy Barnhart, the Co-Owner, VP for Franchise Development, and CFO of Apex Fun Run. This company partners with schools to raise money for equipment and other campus needs. This unique method for raising funds incorporates leadership, character building, and encourages physical fitness.  Another unique aspect of Apex Fun Run is that it offers the opportunity for you to own your own business. Jeremy talks about how "they changed the game of fund raising for schools." He notes that something that makes them so different from product-based fund raising is that in traditional programs "the schools keep somewhere between 20% - 30% of the collected money whereas with Apex Fun Run the schools retain from 52% to 77% of the money."

We have a great show today.  We are meeting with Jeremy Barnhart of the Apex Fun Run franchise. Apex Fun Run is working hard to make fundraising easier! Their method is to collaborate with school PTO/As and faculty to build student leaders through a meaningful, “hassle-free” and financially successful school fun run. Apex Fun Run believes every child can change their school, and the world, in a profound way.  Some of the additional benefits include the following: Serving others brings the greatest joy and contributes to the greatest good. Learning by doing and exercise are both undervalued and underutilized in fundraising today. Encouragement and enthusiasm build others up—we will help build leaders. Raising money for your child’s school can also serve as a positive learning experience. Many people giving a little reduces the individual burden on the typical givers and donors. Teachers have skin in the game and that makes for highly-motivated and excited coaches. Your teachers will coach their classroom teams to greater heights knowing that in the end, a portion of what the classroom raises goes straight back to the teacher for their classroom.

Jeremy Barnhart Jaime Jay welcomes Jeremy Barnhart to today's podcast. Jeremy is the co-owner and co-founder of Apex Fun Run, a fundraising franchise that helps schools raise funds while teaching leadership and fitness awareness throughout the country. Tune in to the entire episode of Jeremy Barnhart Jump-starting a Dream Career to learn how following your passion can lead to success! Pursuing Passion Jeremy used to work as a consulting and audit partner in a public accounting firm. He traveled throughout the US and around the world to help clients. Jeremy retired from the firm in 2006. He always had the entrepreneurial bug, and so started his own ventures after retirement. Jeremy shares that he's always looking for something that aligned with his passions in education and fitness. That's how he came upon Apex Fun Run. Along with his team, they sought to help make the community a better place, build future leaders, and help schools raise money. Meeting Common Needs Apex Fun Run started as a combination of the needs of Jeremy's wife and his business partner's wife. Scott, Jeremy's business partner, was the original founder. He was founding it to meet his wife's needs as a first grade teacher. “They don't get paid a lot, and we're very lucky that there's people that have the passion to do that and they are obviously not doing that for the money.” –Jeremy Barnhart On her first day as first grade teacher, Scott's wife had to stop on the way home from school to buy about 500 dollars worth of supplies for her classroom. However, she didn't get reimbursed for the expenses. The school apparently had issues raising money, and didn't had the funding due to budget cuts in education. At the same time, Lisa, Jeremy's wife became the PTO president in their children's school. She also became the fundraising chair. Since she didn't want to do unhealthy product-based fundraisers, Lisa looked for something fun, healthy, and beneficial to the kids. The Fundraising Solution Jeremy shares that Apex Fun Run is the actual solution for raising funds. He and his team go to elementary schools to teach kids leadership skills and fitness awareness. The activity then culminates in a fun run that raises money on a per-lap pledge basis for the school. “We came up with the solution that not only helps teachers but also benefits students and doubles or triples the money of the schools.” –Jeremy Barnhart Both teachers and students benefit from the cause. Teachers get to keep 10% of what's raised in their classrooms. They particularly get reimbursed for the supplies or have money for their classrooms as they see fit. On the other hand, students benefit from leadership and fitness lessons. Listen to the rest of the story of Jeremy Barnhart for some valuable insights on jump-starting a dream career.
