Summary
http://www.tropicalmba.com/consultingcorner1/ Dan and Ian receive a lot of emails from listeners of this show.
They don't always have time to respond to them, but one recent email caught their attention.
The message was from a listener named Jay Clouse.
Jay wrote that he was struggling with some of the common issues that early-stage entrepreneurs face. Jay recently left his position at a tech startup and has started a new business facilitating mastermind groups.
Rather than email him back, Dan and Ian decided it might be helpful to call Jay and talk about these problems.
This episode is a great resource for those who are just starting a business. For those of us who are more experienced entrepreneurs, we hope that you will stick around and share your own advice for Jay and the people like him in the comments section of this episode.
