How do you turn a childhood paper route into a billion-dollar vision rooted in purpose and positivity? In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, host Paul Dio sits down with Peter Bradford, serial entrepreneur and founder of Cash Network LLC, to explore his journey from domain-flipping in the late '90s to launching a pet insurance company with heart.

Peter's story is a testament to how curiosity, adaptability, and an intrinsic desire to "be better" can evolve into meaningful legacy-building. He shares how early lessons in efficiency, pattern recognition, and people-watching laid the foundation for building successful ventures across affiliate marketing, law, and pet insurance.

But this episode goes deeper than business mechanics. Paul and Peter reflect on fatherhood, the definition of happiness, and what it really means to leave a legacy that outlives you. From helping his daughter grow into a leadership role within the family business, to launching a nonprofit-driven Be Better Movement, Peter's mission is clear: create scalable businesses that also make humans better.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a parent, or someone striving for more alignment in your life, this episode will inspire you to see business not just as a tool for profit, but for impact.
