Circle City Success

Jeff Worrell is the Founder & President of Advantage Medical Rehab Equipment, Founder of the Good Day Carmel email newsletter, and an At-Large Carmel City Councillor.

In this episode, you’ll hear Jeff  tell us about how he started his first business and then was served with a cease and desist order which meant that he had to sit out of the industry for a year and how that actually helped him later in life, about when his accountant told him on a Friday that the company’s bank accounts were closed due to his business partner liquidating them which led to him starting his business over the next Monday in the basement of his house with a new business model, and why despite the challenges that he’s gone through he says that nothing bad has ever happened to him.
