Scrappy creativity to successfully launch & grow a small business with Russ Perry. Russ is an entrepreneur and author. He shares his life journey, the early business failures, and using a scrappy approach to launching and growing his latest successful business. Russ is the Founder of Design Pickle and author of "The Sober Entrepreneur". He spent eight years building businesses that yielded zero in profit, and now in less than three years he has grown Design Pickle to $500,000 in monthly recurring revenue and 135 team members. Russ's recent success almost never happened though because he had been hiding something: he was an alcoholic, and it almost ruined his marriage, business, and life.
