Episode Description

Defeat the Chaos is a show for all small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. Julie and Corey cover the successes and failures of being an entrepreneur. They focus on the importance of differentiating yourself from everyone else. This week Julie and Corey are covering a more “touchy feely” topic, grit and resilience. And yes, we know it seems weird to refer to these two strengths as touchy feely, but we want to talk about how important they are to your success. Jeff Forrester, Coach, Consultant, Author and Speaker joins Julie and Corey after the first break to talk about a grueling race he recently participated in, the MidState Mile. And how preparation for that race has a lot in common with running a business. Of course in the final segment Julie and Corey talk gambling, news, and find out how Julie did in her inaugural kickball game last week.
