- Entrepreneurship
All businesses start with a dream, an idea that begs to be brought to life by an entrepreneur with passion and purpose. But many don't know how to turn that dream into reality, and even fewer are able to bring with it a movement and worldwide success.
Lord of the Fries started with 1 food truck touring the country to now 27 stores, and the largest vegan fast-food franchise in the southern hemisphere, leading the charge in the plant-based movement around the world. From humble beginnings and a love of fries, Amanda Leigh Walker shares her incredible journey with us in this special episode of The Make It Happen Show (filmed live from The Entourage's exclusive event for Members, The Entrepreneurs' Assembly, and hosted by our Founder Jack Delosa).
Covering everything from imposter syndrome despite making 8-figures, to the keys to blasting through a plateau in business, and featuring a Q&A from our Elevate and Accelerate members, this is a massive episode deep-diving into the mind of a multi-million dollar founder, and the steps you can take to make it there too.
