I asked Melissa to come on the show because I knew she was a business owner that had managed to survive COVID despite some major challenges.  I was not prepared for what she would tell me.    We promised to keep it raw, so that's what this video is.  Completely raw.  Get your tissues ready.  She is a veteran who ended up in federal prison, and yet somehow managed to put her life back together, start a business, and hire several employees.  She's gotten involved in local chambers, is a master networker, and a beautiful human.  I spent half the interview fighting back tears!

Jim Cantrell was born and raised on a chicken farm.  His life would take him all over the world, from getting arrested as a spy in Russia, to being a co-founder of SpaceX.  Jim continues his life as a serial entrepreneur, and today his business is positioned to fundamentally change space travel forever.  That's no exaggeration.

Todd was doing well, making great money in a comfortable law office, but that wasn't filling his passion.  So he quit and started his own business helping other business owners protect themselves and their families.

Eric left his comfortable six figure income to start a real estate investment company.  He has a great unique model and a really interesting story of taking a risk, holding his breath, and making the leap to do what he really wanted to do in life.
