Damon Gersh is the president and CEO of MAXONS Restorations, Inc., a leading disaster restoration and recovery specialist company in New York.
The world changed on September 11, 2001. Though terrorist acts can happen anywhere, as a New Yorker who watched the events of that day unfold, I remember it as a surreal nightmare. As the owner of a New York City disaster restoration company, I knew that the days ahead would change my life in ways that I could not even begin to comprehend. I liken the feeling to standing on a beach watching a tidal wave slowly approach from the distance. It became clear that I must either learn to surf the wave or be swept away by it.

By Scott Millman, president of Bean Steel Company, a service center with a focus on steel sales and steel processing.
As a busy entrepreneur, sometimes you need to blow off steam to regain your perspective on things. Some people relax by sailing, playing sports or watching movies. For me, I find my calm through ultra running, racing at a distance greater than 26.2 miles. It’s an extreme sport that pushes you to the limit, forces you to learn from your mistakes and encourages you to take risks … all of the things I do in business every day.

In this second installment of the Nick Friedman interview, BOLD Business catches up with the College Hunks Hauling Junk co-founder and discusses Effortless Entrepreneur, his new book with Hunks co-founder and co-author Omar Soliman.
BOLD: In your book, you discussed the difficulties of working with your best friend. What’s the hardest part of this working relationship?
NF: I think the most difficult part is that our friendship does and can suffer. There are weekends when we won’t hang out, we won’t talk or don’t plan trips because we’re always working together; that’s probably the biggest negative. Still, I think it’s important to recognize that the friendship should come first, and that’s the most important thing. We try not to let the business put a strain on it.
