My next guest saw his wedding photos and was drawn to the sloppy and cheap looking collar he was wearing and decided something needed to be done. Finding a collared shirt manufacturer that makes rigid collars is hard to come by so he took a piece of cardboard and sewed it into his shirt and showed it to a few friends. There was confirmed interest so he moved forward and tried virtually every commercial plastic on the market including milk cartons, window blinds, and zip ties. It took nearly 3 years to land on the perfect material and design but he made it happen. Now today he is the inventor of Million Dollar Collar. In this episode we talk about his entrepreneurial journey of selling houses, cars, and diamonds and how it led to a career in fashion. Please welcome Rob Kessler.

Are children who are instilled with confidence better positioned to succeed in life? Unfortunately, the emphasis on negative reinforcement is prominent in society. Starting a business, creating a solution to a problem, or doing something you love for a living all have risks and most people in society will try to convince us why we should not take those risks. The most commonly used word for those who are in their last years of their life is “regret”. My next guest is an entrepreneur who has built and sold multiple businesses throughout his career and he credits his parents for giving him the confidence to aim high and pursue his dreams. Please welcome Jim McGonigle.
