The year was 2001 and Trent Dyrsmid - founder of the Bright Ideas podcast and Flowster - was earning $200k a year to play golf and go to dinner with stockbrokers.

But he was bored and, in his mind, underachieving. Plus, he never cared much for golf.

So, he did as the entrepreneurs do:

“I decided that I was going to quit that job and I was going to sell everything that I own to start a business.”

The odyssey that followed was both topsy-turvy and immensely illuminating.

In this episode of Above the Fold, listen to the seasoned entrepreneur and prolific podcaster narrate his sidewinding journey to success.
