The BOWpod, or The Body of Work Podcast, is a raw and unscripted journey that begins at ground zero. I'm your host, and together, we’re going to dive head first into the deep. I'm a 35-year-old family man who recently left behind the comfort of a 9-5 job to pursue the exciting and challenging life of an entrepreneur. In this podcast, I'll share my personal experiences, beliefs, values, stories, rant, and all the hurdles I encounter, have encountered, and will encounter along the way. Stick around and join me for candid and authentic conversations.
