Are you ready for some candor?

This podcast has it all: some highs, some lows, real success, more success, even more success, stress, fork in the road, zig & zag, hold on, hold on too long, then the end. Or is it????? Reboot, rethink, re-focus, re-train, re-educate, stay focused, work harder, success!

Ok, maybe wasn’t quite like that , but Chris story has a lot of twists and ups and downs. I so appreciate the candor, the pull no punches approach that Chris has on his story. It is a great blueprint, not to follow (Chris would agree!). The best part of this podcast are the absolutes that Chris now has. One’s you can use (and should use!) to keep you on the road, think guardrails for your business.

(For perspective- Daymond John is 5′ 7″)
