Ju$t Figure It Out

This podcast is to encourage and inspire through guests who tell personal stories of how they achieved a specific goal and how they "just figured it out". Topics include things that didn't work as expected, as well as what worked really well. The meat and potatoes of the podcast will be two things. Mostly it will be guests talking about a goal they had and thinking outside the box on how to achieve that goal. Occasionally the podcast will be a "documentary" on my own path in this journey of owning and growing my own business.
