Anchored in Resilience: John Paul Kilduff II's Journey from Coast Guard to Real Estate Success
Those people who do make that jump and decide for themselves that they're going to try something and try to do something big, they're the people that do, they're the people that change the world.
John Paul Kilduff II, or JP as he's affectionately known, has a story that defies the odds. Growing up, he was often labeled as the 'Problem Child' and was told he'd never amount to much. Despite these early setbacks and a struggle with ADHD, JP enlisted in the Coast Guard, where he not only served but thrived, becoming a Drill Instructor. But his journey didn't stop there.
JP's entrepreneurial spirit led him to create Anchored Homes, a successful real estate company, all while maintaining his full-time military duties. Even when orders came in for him to ship out, he managed to run his business remotely. In this episode of the Alcoholic Entrepreneur podcast, host Justin Balunsat dives into JP's life, exploring how he balanced military service with building a thriving business.
JP shares candid insights about the role of coaching and education in his entrepreneurial journey, and how the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped his approach to remote work and out-of-state operations. His story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of mindset in achieving both sobriety and business success. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or someone navigating the challenges of recovery, JP's journey offers a wealth of inspiration and practical advice.
