"AN AMERICAN SUCCESSFULLY TELEMARKETING FROM LATIN AMERICA" Interview w/ Richard Blank WHO IS A "SUCCESSFUL QUITTER"? An individual that has overcame obstacles and quit the bad to become successful in their arena. https://youtu.be/hMEUKX-aZbg As an entrepreneur, I have found myself looking for support in different podcasts. Some of my toughest moments, when I found no answers from the people that surrounded me, I was able to find what I was looking for in a conversation I heard through Spotify. As I continue to grow in my entrepreneurial journey, I want to provide a safe space, where people can find their answers through our interviews. They say that "once a quitter, always a quitter, " but I say that "without quitting the bad habits, there is no growth". I hope to encourage one another, and rise to the top together!
