About this podcast
I’m Jeremy Barker. Career firefighter and paramedic, founder of Murphy Door, and a guy who once lived in his truck. 90 Proof Wisdom is an entrepreneur podcast for people who build things and sometimes break them. Long, unscripted interviews with founders about the real numbers, the failures, the bankruptcies and the comebacks. Business strategy and leadership lessons from people who paid for them.
