So, if you are listening with small kids or listening in the car, you might want to save this one for a time when grown up language is more appropriate. Part of my philosophy of interviews is people should use whatever language they wish to use to talk about their own lives, so just a heads up to some listeners, that there's some choice military language in this particular episode. In today's episode, I talk with Tony about his experiences in the Marines, and how that's shaped who he's become as an entrepreneur. They were recently acquired by GoDaddy and Tony is now the head of the security business organization.
