On this week's podcast we have special guest Heath Oakes, author of "Ignorance on Fire: A Journey of Failing Your Way to Success." Heath is also a Senior Territory Manager at Colonial Life. We share a glass of Oklahoma Suks Cream Ale from Independence Brewing Co. in Austin, TX.

About Heath: Heath Oakes considers himself a “millennial who has failed his way to success”. In fact, he even wrote a book about it, titled Ignorance On Fire; A Journey of Failing Your Way to Success.

He went from dealing with dyslexia and barely graduating high school to a having a successful career in sales. Heath built two highly successful insurance agencies before the age of 23. Then, he was hired as the youngest Territory Sales Manager in Colonial Life history. He has now been with the company for more than ten years and leads a sales team of more than 600 people.

As someone who didn’t go to college, he has a passion for empowering others to believe in themselves, no matter the circumstances. That’s where the Second Shot Podcast comes in. The podcasts aims to inspire, motivate and empower. Heath sincerely believes in Zig Ziglar’s philosophy “You will get all you want in life, if you help enough other people get what they want.”

Heath also has a passion for investing in commercial and residential real estate. He’s currently the co-owner of a restaurant and bar in Tyler, Texas called The Garage Bar.

Heath and his wife Jenny (who happens to be his podcast co-host) are the proud parents of 3year-old Brighton Valentina.
