    In Episode 41, we meet with our first business run by two brothers, Austin and Thomas Rhodes, founders of Rhodes Branding. Their work is inspired and guided by their shared childhood in rural South Carolina, an upbringing that gave them the values that inform their unique approach to business: work hard, stay humble, and appreciate what you have. They teach us to take time for ourselves, live every moment with kindness, and most of all, build a business that creates a better world, one that helps others realize their dreams.
