195: Paleo Treats by Navy Veteran Nik Hawks Chocolate cookies, brownies -- how would you like to have some healthy, gluten-free desserts? Joe Crane shares Paleo Treats by Navy Veteran Nik Hawks. Listen to his story and learn how you too can avail of these healthy, delectable treats!      "You think about the difference in quality and the difference in price, you're basically getting a superific deal on healthy desserts." - Nik Hawks From the Navy to Entrepreneurship Nik joined the Navy in 1985. He had a great time doing the things he dreamed of. In the year 2000, he transitioned into the civilian life.   When he met the woman who was to become his wife, she was sold out on entrepreneurship. He saw the possible things he could achieve if he did the same thing. And that inspired him in his journey. One Valuable Skill from the Military Nik saw that even with his well-honed skills, they were not very useful in the civilian life. The hard skills they have like shooting or jumping from an airplane do not transfer well.   According to him, learning to do something easily and well is a valuable skill that most Veterans take away from their career in the military. They can step into any job and learn it easily. Paleo Treats for Crossfitters Nik started one business after another. He experienced building websites, running a tshirt company, as well as driving around California with a mobile notary for real estate.   It was in 2009 when he and his wife came across Paleo treats for crossfitters. They started that business and their products were sold out as early as 10 AM in the first day.   To this day, they sell healthy desserts. Among which are brownies and chocolate bars. All are strictly made of Paleo ingredients and are also tasty.   To hear about Paleo Treats by Navy Veteran Nik Hawks, download and listen to this episode.   Don’t forget to leave us a 5-star rating and review if you enjoyed the show.
