We doubled year over year for five straight years… and still managed to be bankrupt on paper!

## Guest Bio

Parker Perrien is an entrepreneur who took over his family’s asphalt business at the age of 23, rapidly growing the company while navigating significant personal and financial adversity.

He is passionate about integrating faith and business, encouraging others to make their beliefs part of their daily work and relationships.
