I’m encouraging all veteran entrepreneurs to apply to the Bob Evans Farms “Heroes to CEOs” business competition. Given the time sensitive nature of the application process, with applications open from now until July 31, 2021 11:59 PM EDT, I organized a quick interview over the weekend with Bob Evans Farms Director of Communications, George Money, to discuss the competition.
