In this episode I interview founder of Kholo Inc., Nick Wood. Kholo is an app developing company that builds apps for innovative startups looking to bring their unconventional ideas to reality. In this interview, we discuss Nick’s journey through entrepreneurship, sales, and life.
I really enjoyed this conversation because Nick doesn’t give you his advice on what to do and what not to do. He simply shares his experience on what he has found to effective for business, life, and leadership. He has a great perspective so I really hope you enjoy this conversation.
