Chip Gaines is well known as a TV star (HGTV's Fixer Upper), renovation expert, husband to Joanna, and father of 4 in Waco, Texas. But long before the world took notice, Chip was a serial entrepreneur who was always ready for the next challenge, even if it didn't quite work out as planned. Whether it was buying a neighborhood laundromat or talking a bank into a loan for some equipment to start a lawn-mowing service, Chip always knew that the most important thing was to take that first step. We walk alongside him as he relives some of his craziest antics and the lessons learned along the way. His mentors taught him to never give up and his family showed him what it meant to always have a positive attitude despite your circumstances. Throw in a natural daredevil personality and a willingness to do (or eat!) just about anything, and you have the life and daily activity of Chip Gaines.;Part 1: A time to learn -- Failure to launch -- The boys of summer -- Lost in translation -- Leave and cleave -- Wrecked -- Intermission: Scarface: A mini-mercial -- Part 2: A time to grow -- Fear-less -- Baby steps -- Growing pains -- The long game -- Wacko, Texas -- Scrappy is as scrappy does -- Part 3: A time to build -- Never quit your day dream -- Season finale -- Team of rivals -- The runway -- Go get 'em -- Write it down here right now -- From the desk of Chip Gaines.
