Nobody is more surprised than me to announce that there is a second season of the start something show. The story of how this came about is a truly entrepreneurial one - so grab your travel mug of coffee and enjoy this short story episode.

Back when I created The StartSomething Show I wanted to tell the stories behind success - the REAL stories, not the 'overnight success stories' that were really many years in the making. I wanted to pull back the curtain and share the vulnerability, the failures, the real journey of success. So that's what we did.

The episodes in season two are quite a bit different. I had originally recorded these interviews with the intent of them being training modules for the members in my community. BUT, since I had a 'pivot' in my business (and more on that in the episode) now you get the benefit of these nuggets of awesomeness.
