I’m excited for today’s episode.

It’s the 1st in person episode of Builders of Authority.

No pressure.

Today’s guest is someone that I’ve known for years, going all the way back to grade school.

We know of each other, but didn’t necessarily know each other well.

It wasn’t until 7 or 8 years ago that we got to really know each other and started hanging out.

Since then we have spent a lot of time together.

Playing Sunday softball at SMMA.

Spending too much time years ago in Oakville bar hopping, shoutout to Crocs.

But over the past few years, we have grown up.

We have started businesses. (Although we haven’t talked much business really ever at all, which is what I’m excited about doing today).

Gotten married.

And now both of us are fathers.

Times to have changed, but of course for the better.

He has listened to many of the previous Entrebrewer episodes, and I’ve been a patient of his at his chiropractic office. Which today reminded me, I haven’t seen you since Murphy was born, so I need to get back on the schedule.

Nonetheless, he is just an overall great human being that loves what he does, and is building a great business for himself.

So I wanted to bring him on here today to learn more about his journey and what he’s doing to grow his business.

My guest today is Brendan Giljum. He is the Owner of Giljum Chiropractic in Oakville, MO.

Brendan’s Bio:

I am a Chiropractor from Saint Louis, Missouri who has a fanatical passion for all things health, sports (namely racquetball), and people. I have wanted to be in the health profession my whole life, and as I learned more about various opportunities, I was particularly called to Chiropractic. I love how as a Chiropractor, I get to help people take back their health by getting to the actual cause of their biomechanical issues and do so without drugs or surgery.

I also love the entrepreneurial side of owning your own business and the unique challenges that are associated with it. Being able to build your patient base through branding and marketing as well as high quality, results-based care, has led me to feel inspired every day I come into the office. Whether you know me from my personal life or social accounts, @giljumchiro, or @giljgainz, one thing is for sure: my message of health, life ownership, and gratitude are at the forefront of everything I do, say, and post.

My hobbies outside of practicing Chiropractic are my family, friends, travel, and sports, namely the Cardinals, Blues, City, and Mizzou Tigers. I am still an avid racquetballer and play 2-3 times a week. I was also a 3-time racquetball collegiate All-American. If I don't have my next trip to see the world planned when you are talking to me, something has gone terribly wrong.

Lastly, as I mentioned, I LOVE people and health ownership and look forward to getting in the office every day to help people get more life out of their years!
