On this episode of the Gulf Coast Business Advocate, we hit the mat to get an in-depth look on how Dean Toole turned a hobby in to a full-fledged mixed martial arts and boxing event. Dean is the founder and host of Island Fights, which is the #1 promotion event in the South East. Island Fights has completed 38 events, hosting thousands of fans and hundreds of professional and amateur mixed martial arts and boxing matches.
In this interview, I chat with Dean about the fight world and what he has had to overcome to make this event the success it is today. Dean defines MMA, discusses what it is like to work alongside Roy Jones Jr, and discloses a few tid bits for a deal that is in the works with a major television network. We also talk about some of the comparisons of boxing and business, and Deal shares a valuable secret to success.
Tune in to hear this Gulf Coast local, Dean Toole, and what it takes to be a successful business owner. Also remember, business is about making an impact, not just an income. And you can’t make an impact if no one knows you exist.

Hey Gulf Coast, I’m Jim Grant, and I want to take a second to say thanks for joining me on the inaugural episode of The Gulf Coast Business Advocate. Each week, I interview either a start-up, growing business, or established companies to find out what makes their enterprise unique.
The thing I enjoy most about hosting the Gulf Coast Business Advocate is pulling back the curtain to reveal the tools and principles necessary for success, as well as expose the trials and tribulations that many entrepreneurs face while building a business.
Some of the questions include:
• What is none key component to your success?
• What is your favorite part about living on the Gulf Coast
• What is one of the most challenging obstacles you’ve faced, and how did you overcome it
…and much, much more!
Tune in to this episode to hear more about my personal story, why I enjoy living on the Gulf Coast, and why we are on a mission to inspire others from Texas to Florida.
