      <itunes:summary>Welcome to It's Complicated by Gary Riger. It's complicated is a conversation at the intersection of Business &amp; Humanity. 

Today's guest is Justin Breen of BrEpic. There are no podcast intros, we get right into it. Justin has been working as a Journalist for 20 years. With a ton of experience and a large rolodex of influencers in media. Justin started a Public Relations firm a few years ago which has already grown into a global organization having it's best Quarter during the COVID19 Global Pandemic. Justin and I speak about the impact of his father's death when he was just a little boy and how that's made him a better father to his children. His value system is built around family first and having an abundance mindset. As I try to understand patterns of successful entrepreneurs, I notice that like many successful business owners, Justin stays healthy by exercising daily and being an optimist through and through. Justin says that a business is a byproduct of the relationships that you have. Justin is the embodiment of the give first mentality. He's always looking to find entrepreneurs and help them by connecting them to his growing network. I ask Justin about why certain types of people have what it takes to take the entrepreneurial plunge and why working smart is better than working hard. As Justin puts it, "The natural order of things is to create joy for your life and then create joy for others". This conversation went fast. I look forward to having Justin Breen back on the podcast again soon.

Oh and I hope you like the intro music! I composed it myself :)</itunes:summary>

      <title>It's Complicated featuring Georgie</title>
      <description>Georgie-Ann is a 25-year-old entrepreneur mom with 2 kids and 5 companies. I get into her head about how she does what she does. How she deflects negativity and how she's able to do the impossible given the obstacles she's had to overcome. We also talk about the current situation with Black Lives Matter protests and her personal experience as a black female dealing with police officers. </description>
