Description
Welcome to 'How I Built My Small Business,' where we dive deep into unfiltered conversations with guests who've carved out their own path to success. But, we're not only about the creation of businesses. Alongside entrepreneurs, I also chat with specialists offering perspectives that'll benefit anyone striving to lead and learn.
This is a creative outlet and a way to share knowledge from incredible people.
My guests share the raw, heartwarming details of their experiences with one goal in mind: to provide real insight that'll help others.
While most of my guests rake in $1 million to $20 million net profit a year, some make more and some make less. And, I also bring in tangential guests from brokering and mergers, mindset and meditation, entertainment and marketing, among others. So, the line-up is diverse in niche, experience and perspective - and so, so fun.
But, here's the kicker - every single one of my guests has started their own business at some point in their journey.
Thank you for listening.
