Eddie Grochowiak sits down for Episode 7 of The Vertical Podcast. A born and raised Chicagoan, Eddie discusses his journey from Chicago to the University of Dayton, and back to Chicago to co-found two companies - Go Empire (a full-service sport agency firm) and Groho Group (a Chicago-based real estate company co-founded w/his sister). Eddie first speaks about his leap of faith - leaving law school and the more traditional path towards becoming a sport agent and co-founding a company of his own. Eddie also speaks to how he overcomes self-doubt and outside haters, the importance of relationships with others and (more importantly) yourself, and much, much more, including advice for young people making the leap or thinking about entering the world of entrepreneurship.
