Todays The Day

Zack Anderson sits down with his cousin, his childhood wrestling partner, and one of his closest friends on the planet, Krew Erikson, for a conversation that is less about door-to-door sales and more about the raw mechanics of not quitting when every instinct tells you to. This is the story of a kid who wanted out on day one of his very first summer, who got hung up on by his own father instead of coddled, and who turned that gut-punch moment into the foundation for a career built on discipline, resilience, and refusing to negotiate the date he'd set for himself.You'll hear how a $3,000 rookie summer — the kind of number that would make most people walk away for good — became the launching pad for one of the top producers and team builders in the industry, and why Krew believes success in this business was never about a secret pitch or a special trick but about compounding the right habits until certainty became competence. You'll hear how a bet with his dad turned into life-changing earnings and a matching tattoo, how coachability became his defining superpower, and why treating adversity like a game — rather than a threat — unlocked a level of performance that even he didn't see coming. And you'll hear how that same mindset expanded beyond sales floors and into starting his own nonprofit, proving that the abundance he built for himself was never meant to stay his alone.If you've ever felt like quitting the moment things got hard, like the version of you that shows up on your worst day is somehow the truest test of your character, this episode will reframe that feeling entirely. Krew Erikson's story is proof that the summer you want to give up is often the summer that decides everything that comes after — not just a door-to-door success story, but a masterclass in what happens when you simply refuse to stop moving.
