Thaddaeus Hay is the Chief Revenue Officer at Buy Box Experts, a business that helps brands control and grow their Amazon business. He’s a husband and father, a Christian, and member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In this episode we discuss the importance of being vulnerable and being able to be open with your internal struggles and why that can really help with your mental health. Letting faith guide the way in business and even applying the principle of repentance have been some big things that have helped Thaddaeus in his career and business ventures. He tells me about his big goal to sell his company and what his expectations of selling it would be versus what he actually felt afterward and why it’s important to not just seek after wealth and the glory of financial success.

“I’ve never had a happier, more real relationship with my wife, with my kids, with my family, and my parents even. I struggled for a long time with my parents and the relationships, and over time we’ve become better at this honest and true, being open and vulnerable. And I think vulnerability really is, in a sense, it’s honesty. It’s complete and utter honesty, and that is something that God has commanded us to do.” 10:42
