What happens when you land your dream job at LinkedIn — and then walk away?

In this episode of Salespreneur Stories, Andrew Marino shares how he quit corporate life to launch Royal Guard, a men’s natural deodorant brand. From door-to-door sales and Utah Jazz partnerships to bootstrapping e-commerce with freelance work, Andrew’s journey shows the messy middle of entrepreneurship.

We talk about:

• Why sales skills fuel startup survival

• The tradeoffs between freelancing, funding, and freedom

• What it really takes to bet on yourself

If you’ve ever thought about leaving your W-2 to build your own thing, Andrew’s story will push you to think bigger — and prepare for the grind.
