Forrest Schaffer is a “9-to-5er” at a digital marketing company and the founder of One Strong Herd, a fitness apparel and accessories brand and startup company.

Forrest talks about the twists and turns in his career path, which included leaving his 9-5 job to join a startup that recruited him – only to be fired 9 days later – and how he used his time during the aftermath to find his current job and grow his startup.

In addition to entrepreneurship, Forrest is passionate about the topics of personal finance and digital marketing. We talk about how he shares simple personal finance tools and advice for millennials on his YouTube channel, and how he uses digital marketing to market One Strong Herd. He even shares some great SEO tips for improving your search ranking on Google that you can apply to your own business!
