In what ways has the essence of 'thinking bigger' been a transformative element in your business-building process?
This episode dives deep into the story of an entrepreneur and business builder who started selling lemonade stands to turn his passion into a mission of reducing the world's plastic containers. Join us as we explore how Ryan Mckenzie found his purpose and navigated through self-limiting beliefs, advice from family, and balancing a job with his own business. He covers topics such as how college led him to his mission with Tru Earth, the value of entrepreneurial spirit, and the importance of thinking bigger when starting a business.
This is a conversation about building success through resilience, understanding trends in commerce and communication, and striving to make an impact on future generations!
