In this episode, we’re joined by Cooper Wahlo, a former NDSU Bison football player, real estate agent, and entrepreneur with a story that’s as real as it gets. Cooper brings a unique mix of confidence and humility, and this conversation is packed with honest reflections, valuable lessons, and powerful mindset insights.
He opens up, more than ever before, about his journey in entrepreneurship, including his time owning a restaurant called Mahana Fresh, and the tough decision to eventually close it. Cooper shares what he learned from that experience, what he might have done differently, and how those lessons now shape the way he approaches business and life.
From football to food to real estate, Cooper’s story is full of pivots, growth, and grit. But one of the biggest takeaways is his focus on mindset. He talks in depth about how he’s worked on his own mindset, the importance of mental resilience, and gives practical advice for new entrepreneurs who want to start developing the right mentality to succeed.
If you’re on your own entrepreneurial path, or thinking about starting one, this episode is packed with insight, honesty, and encouragement you won’t want to miss.
