It is here! I can't believe it has already been one year since launching Emerging Entrepreneurs. Thank you so much for any episodes you've tuned into thus far, I really hope you've gotten some value from them.

In today's episode, I interview my first ever guest on Emerging Entrepreneurs, Sam Tarell. If you didn't get a chance to listen to the first episode with Sam or don't know who he is, Sam is the CEO of Hoop Brothers, a basketball recruiting agency designed to help high school players make it to the college level. He also is the Founder of Divergent U, an alternative school that I have the pleasure of being in the first class of students where creators find their purpose and bring their visions into reality through group masterminds, one on one mentorship and collaborative workshops.

In this episode, I take Sam on a blast from the past as we compare where he was at 1 year ago to what he is doing now. There's also a very special surprise at the beginning of the interview that I know you'll enjoy a lot. If you want to connect more with Sam, be sure to check out the links below.
