Entrepreneurship is full of risks. 

From the moment that you decide to open a business, you are betting on your income, your talent and your future. 

So with all the risks involved, should you start a business in the hope of possibly getting the long term benefits? Or should you find a job and accept monthly paychecks even though you’re sacrificing your personal freedom? 

Today’s guest, Josh Cantwell, shares his journey of being an entrepreneur and not having to work for a boss. He also talks about how a life-threatening illness changed his perspective and values in business and taught him to be more daring in entrepreneurship.
