Summary

Dr. Robert Glover is the author of the bestseller “No More Mr. Nice Guy” and is a seasoned therapist, coach, speaker, and educator with more than 40 years of expertise in relationships.

I wanted to have Robert on the show to discuss loneliness in entrepreneurship and how we can attack these problems through community instead of prolonging them.

It is more important now than ever to unite as entrepreneurs and help each other.
