In a world full of claims like “I 10x my business in 3 seconds,” “Gain 1 million subscribers in 7 days,” and “Work 5 hours a month and make 100K,” we know that being your own boss is anything but easy. That’s why we focus on real talk about running a business.
We recently connected with our guest, Surinder Goode, over dinner in San Antonio and knew we had to bring her on to share her insights on entrepreneurship. Get ready for some genuine conversation and real talk about what it takes to succeed.
Quotes from the show

– Surinder Goode
“I think the other part of entrepreneurship and I hope a lot of spouses get to this point, you need help, you need an employee”
-Surinder Goode
