Part two of my riveting discussion with Rennie Curran

What defines success?  Is it your job, your accomplishments.  What happens when that's gone?  Who are you, what is your identity? I'm not one for sports cliches or putting people on this platform for their success or celebrity.  I want real stories that we can all identify with and learn from.  Rennie Curran is not and will not be defined by just what he did on the football field.  His personal and professional challenges are something that all of us can identify with and his mission moving forward something that will inspire and change lives.

Entrepreneurs are a whole nother Animal. What it takes to succeed against all the odds under tremendous pressure, requires you to tap into "The Monster". The Monster doesn't accept failure, the Monster has no fear, the Monster is the King of The Jungle. Make no mistake you need some Monster in you if you are to succeed as an Entrepreneur. Much like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, that Monster can creep into and start taking over the other aspects of your life. I've invited many courageous Leaders to join the Podcast this Season and share their stories. They've been open, honest and vulnerable. For our Season One Finale, I thought it only fitting I return the gesture and introduce you all to my wife, to share our story and her story of being Married to "The Monster".

Success in life and business is an exercise in constant reinvention.   Sh*t happens, what's important is what comes next.  How do you handle those changes that come either by choice or most often not.  This episode is in three words, OFF THE CHAIN.  When I set out to create Business And Bourbon, this is exactly what I had in mind.  Honest, vulnerable, funny and a sobering, #RealTalk!! This episodes talks about our experience in rebuilding our careers and lives.  What happens when you get to the top of the mountain and have to either find another mountain or tumble down.  How do you pick your ass up and get climbing again.  We also talk about our love for The Ohio State University, Chick-Fil-A and a host of other random but fun topics you're going to love and enjoy.

I've been fortunate to have so many amazing women influence my life and business.  I realize how much better they have made me as a Leader and Entrepreneur.  The challenges of succeeding in the professional world for woman are unique and need to be talked about.  Making your way in the "boys club" can be challenging and it's something that all women are faced with. I wanted to bring someone in that understands that those qualities that make women unique, are great strengths in the business world.  I wanted to bring someone in who inspires me through her messages of empowerment, loving and embracing what makes you unique.   We welcomed Morgan Wider to discuss the importance of styling for professionals regardless of gender.  She gave some great tips for men and women but really dropped some knowledge on her experience and journey in business.  Does your style represent what you want it to?  After this episode you'll understand the importance of it and probably take some time to think about it.  

If you think personal brands are just about your online persona, you're WRONG. This episode is definitely one of our most riveting. You don't want to miss one minute.

James has gone from a life of chaos and substance abuse to building a powerful personal brand, reclaiming his life and building an impressive career. This was one of the most entertaining and empowering podcast I've done. Look, substance abuse in the business world is real and no one is above it or immune from it. Whether it's illegal substances, controlled pharmaceuticals, alcohol, food(YES I SAID FOOD), we all have been touched by it in one way or another. This is what Business and Bourbon is about, #RealTalk with #RealPeople. No filter and no censorship, real experience and wisdom shared. Let's grow together.

Adrion is in the first quarter of his life as an Entrepreneur. Very successful in the corporate world, he decided he'd had enough and planted his own flag. Going into his second year as an Entrepreneur is a critical time. Things get tighter than ever and the pressure to quit is always present. In this episode we get REAL! I channel my inner "Oprah", Adrion and I discuss the island that is Entrepreneurship and Leadership. We may all be on islands but it turns out our islands are all in shouting distance...

Most people fantasize about being an Entrepreneur. Winning the lottery and entrepreneurship are at the top of list. The difference is your odds are way better as an Entrepreneur but so are your risk. We brought Teddy onto the podcast for todays episode. Teddy was like most of our listeners, working a corporate job and enjoying the security that comes with that. 15 years ago he chose to forgo that security for the world of Entrepreneurship... Why the hell would anyone leave a great income and security for the volatility of of Entrepreneurship? Well we talk about why, how and what steps it takes. We had some REAL TALK and some great drinks while sharing Teddy's experience and some REAL actionable advice for the wouldbe Entrepreneur. We also talk about Janet Jackson, Louis Xiii and some other fun authentic bar talk. Pull up a chair and enjoy some Business and Bourbon with us.
