Gayle Guyardo, host of WFLA’s Bloom, unpacks Knuaff’s difficult situation, how it impacted him both physically and mentally, and the principles he uses to make it through this ongoing challenge.

Can’t Hurt Me, by David Goggins

This is easily one of my favorite books because it destroys the narrative of our own limitations and shows you that you can truly overcome just about anything if you’re willing to push through and do the work necessary. In this book, Goggins—a former Navy SEAL, ultra marathon runner, and an all around badass, shares his journey from childhood to today, and it illustrates how he has adopted a “no excuses” mindset to conquer countless challenges that everyone else said would be impossible to overcome. I think of this book like a harsh and expletive-filled bible that’s perfect for building the kind of unshakable spirit that you need to get through your toughest challenges.

Relentless, by Tim S. Grover

While I’m not a sports fan, this book by Tim Grover, Michael Jordan’s former personal trainer is another one of my favorites because of his single minded focus on doing whatever is necessary to overcoming challenges and achieving success. In it, he shares his journey and the principles that have helped him to overcome adversity in his own life, as well as the journeys and principles of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and other top tier athletes that propelled them to the top of the league. While providing a roadmap for overcoming challenges, the stories shared also serve as a reminder that despite facing challenges, we can still achieve amazing things with the right mindset.

I can’t tell you how many times someone has said, “I saw an article about your company and it reminded me to circle back to you.” That has been a really interesting component of our relationship. We certainly have increased our presence, but it’s really interesting how many people we already know that have reached out to do business with us directly as a result of seeing us featured in the media.

I don’t have the time to reach out to the media, and it’s one of those things where if you actually tried to reach out yourself, you’d be met upon deaf ears anyway. So working with the team at Spartan Media, that specializes in exactly this and does it on a daily basis, is the best way to go. Plus, their white glove treatment is exactly what you need because it let’s you focus on running your business.

Nicole Espinosa

My experience with Spartan Media has been amazing! I’ve been featured in Inman, Entrepreneur, Benzinga, Fox Business, and so many more because of them, and that’s opened a lot of doors for me. They do a great job of positioning you and helping you craft the perfect message. I totally appreciate that because I think as entrepreneurs, we often feel like we know everything.

Trey Taylor

Founder, Trinity Blue Consulting

I love that while I’m focusing on what I do best, Spartan Media is consistently getting me featured in the media. This helps give me more exposure, but more importantly, helps me to be seen as more authoritative in my industry, so more deals come my way and I close them faster and more easily. I feel that Spartan’s PR services are one of the best investments you can make as an entrepreneur.
