064: The Lessons I Learned in Nashville | A Founder’s Journey
Today's episode marks the end of my filming in Nashville. As my family and I move back to Texas, I am looking back at the last eight months and how valuable they have been as a season for me to sharpen my ax. There are hundreds of lessons I've learned in this season, but in this episode, I'm picking the six that have impacted me the most. I am so grateful for my time in Nashville because, with it, I am now returning to Texas more energized and full of vision and inspiration, ready to build the next chapter of BPN.
