In this episode of Leaders Create Leaders, Entrepreneur Network partner Gerard Adams speaks with Colin Wayne, an influencer and businessman who began serving in the military at a young age before moving on to bodybuilding and entrepreneurship.

Wayne explains that before starting his own company, he had zero business experience. However, he always knew he had the endurance to keep pushing, and now his business, Redline Steel, manufactures millions of pounds of steel for hundreds of different companies. Wayne has even helped to grow the business from its original space of 5,000 square feet to a 120,000-square-foot building, where Redline Steel operates today.
