About this episode

Hey, Journey fans! It’s been a while, and I’ve been eagerly waiting to tell you something exciting… we’re back! Starting this Wednesday, we’ll be releasing weekly episodes highlighting the stories of some of the world’s most incredible small business leaders. They’ve risked it all, made big bets, and ridden the rollercoaster that is entrepreneurship, and today they are running successful, fast-growing businesses. The path is never easy, and on The Journey, we bring you the authentic, unfiltered story of how each of these entrepreneurs really achieved success.

Every entrepreneur has a story to tell, and there are lessons for all of us within their journeys. So I hope you’ll tune in, get inspired and take some knowledge with you on your own journey in business and life.
