Founder and CEO of Pursuit: Suiting the Next Generation, Nate DeMars, spoke with host Michael Redd about his slow evolution of confidence to finding success, the unlikely stepping stones that helped him build a remarkable career, and how to carve out a niche that you're passionate about.

"Run in the direction of the things you’re excited about … but know that when you get there, it’s going to look very different than how you thought it would look." – Nate DeMars

The entrepreneur started Pursuit – a modern suit store with an old-fashioned customer service model – in an entrepreneurship class for an MBA program at the Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business back in 2011. He’s been fitting cufflinks ever since as a pillar of the business community in the Short North district of Columbus, Ohio.

He is also an Entrepreneurship Lecturer for Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business where he works with the next generation of Buckeye entrepreneurs.
