On this episode of the Playbook, I have Andrew Fox, founder and CEO of Charge Enterprises.

space. What's going to happen next? Follow us for this ballgame here on Entrepreneurs the Playbook.

This is Entrepreneurs the Playbook. For each week I bring you some of the greatest athletes,

celebrities and entrepreneurs to talk about their personal and professional playbook to success.

And what made them champions on the field and in the boardroom. I'm your host David Meltzer.
