Join Rodric on a crazy journey that led him all the way to the Super Bowl, and even onto the set of Good Morning America. Tune in as he recalls the magic sparked by one ‘hail mary' social media post, a wild Friday night in San Francisco, and the spontaneous decision in a bar that landed him on national television.But Rodric's story isn't just about the exhilaration of that weekend; it's a lesson in business growth principles, the power of risk-taking and networking, and how amazing things can happen when you have the courage and vulnerability to simply ask for help. Rodric also covers how unexpected opportunities can come when you're willing to take action on your ‘why' without a clear ‘how'. The entrepreneurs path to success is rarely linear, so you need to keep your approach as flexible as those flip flops! Strap yourself in for a story that celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit and how to navigate (and even create) those unpredictable turns that can lead you to your goals.What You Will Learn In This Episode:How great things can happen when you just ask those around you for help.Knowing who you are, what you want and why is far more important than knowing how you will get there.Creating space for opportunities and being willing to take risks is vital to an entrepreneur's success.Quotes:“The world only gives you what you can handle. I think creating the space for these opportunities is what I'm getting at, and it's how I run this business. It's how we build the foundation. It's having no expectation, just knowing where I want to go - how I get there, isn't up to me.” - Rodric LenhartResources:Million Dollar Flip FlopsFollow Us on Insta Ready to transform your business and your life while making a difference?
