Listen Then Speak

From Corporate to Entrepreneur (An Honest Journey)

Episode Summary

In this episode of Listen Then Speak, I had the opportunity to have an open and honest chat with 5 time best selling author Rob Jolles. Today He's an award winning author, public speaker, podcast host, and sought after corporate trainer. However, he started his journey in sales at Xerox. These times as well as his cultural upbringing were key in forming him into who he is today. With so much rhetoric flying left and right (pertaining to the transition of corporate to entrepreneur), we GET INTO IT and take a deeper dive into the hills and valleys of this journey. Listeners will be both encouraged and challenged by Rob's candor and professionalism.
