How did a journey from an 11-year-old entrepreneur to elite athlete lead to transforming businesses through the mastery of fine margins?
This week’s episode I had the privilege of being a guest on the Thoughtful entrepreneur podcast, a 1.5% globally ranked podcast with Josh Elledge. It’s a great show and Josh is a great interviewer.
