In this episode, Nathan and Chris discuss:

• The beauty of the entrepreneurial journey and knowing when to enter and exit an opportunity in the world of business  
• Emphasizing business development and customer acquisition as key drivers in your organization’s growth and success
• The power of choice and taking action when things don’t pan out the way you thought they would
• Resiliency in the face of the toughest challenges life and business can throw your way

Key Takeaways:

• If you have the entrepreneurial itch, particularly at a young age, follow it.
• Find your niche, discover what makes you invaluable at a company and make it known.
• Slow down, stop and smell the roses, and spend time with the people you love most; you never know what curveballs life has to offer.
