On this episode of Blunt Force Truth, Chuck and Mark are joined by Gino Wickman. Gino has spent his whole adult life as an entrepreneur and has an obsession for learning what makes business and entrepreneurs successful.  

Chuck and Mark kick off the show by discussing what someone can expect to get out of Gino’s book Entrepreneurial Leap. Gino explains

who is considered an entrepreneur and how there is a spectrum of different levels. They discuss some of the preconceived notions surrounding starting your own business. 

They also discuss what skills are necessary to be a successful entrepreneur and what kind of education can improve those needed

skills. Chuck and Mark hear more from Gino about how there are opportunities for anyone to become self-employed.
