Description
Do you want to make a living doing more of what you love? Are you ready to discover the joy of solopreneurship and the freedom it brings? Have you been curious about whether you can take a side hustle into a primetime slot?
Today's episode features Larry Cornett, a Business Advisor and Leadership Coach. He works with frustrated employees who dream of leaving their 9-5 jobs and launching their own businesses someday.
Larry spent over two decades in the Silicon Valley tech industry at top players like Apple and eBay and raised millions of dollars launching new businesses, products, and services as an entrepreneur himself.
Over 12 years ago, he left his tech career to become a solopreneur so he could reclaim his freedom, health, and life - and he wants to help you do the same.
It's time to design a life you love instead of spending your days dreading coming to work every day. Whether you want to make the most of your career or make a pivot into solopreneurship, there's so much you can learn from my conversation with Larry. Tune in for Larry’s story, as well as practical advice and tips on how you can get the most out of the path ahead.
