E66 - Courageously Pursuing Your Passion with Chad Romzek

Chad Romzek, creator and owner of Kick Ash Basket®, is a creative, energetic and passionate entrepreneur specializing in solving problems with simple solutions. His background is mechanical engineering, project management and operations leadership. He worked at two Fortune 500 companies and a greenfield startup business before embarking on a side hustle in the BBQ grilling industry. Chad and his wife Tracy started the Kick Ash Basket® business from their garage in Neenah, Wisconsin back in 2014 and are now supplying grill accessories all over the United States. Chad and Tracy are “Kicking Ash & Making Flames” with over seven figures of annual sales and are starting to build wealth and freedom in the multi-family investing arena.


The theme of Tyler and Chad’s discussion focused on the courage it takes to leave corporate America and pursue an entrepreneurial endeavor. They talked about the growth process of Chad’s business, starting with the realization that there is demand for his idea, followed by investing and building systems, and ultimately achieving enough success to leave his six-figure engineering job. They also talked about the practices of future pacing and fear setting, and the freeing feeling upon taking a desired action.


Other topics included the tax benefits of real estate, seeking personal development, transcendental meditation, mindfulness, investing in coaching, why investing and entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone and more!
