Rob Ratliff is a marketing and business expert. It was a pleasure to spend time with him discussing business on his Entrepreneurial Odyssey Podcast. In our interview, we emphasize the importance of making conscious choices, going back to the initial passion that led to starting your business, and taking time for self-care. We remind entrepreneurs to reach out for help when needed. I also highlighted the significance of addressing mental health issues, such as alcoholism or addiction, and seeking support from others. Overall, we hope this podcast helps entrepreneurs find fulfillment and success in their businesses and lives.

They studied these leaders and their companies to come up with these conclusions about why they were able to survive and thrive over a very long period, often with massive changes in their industry and markets.
