I sat down with Scott Parker who has multiple brands within different segments of hospitality & retail. From bars and restaurants, to barbershops and boxing gyms, the reason I invited Scott on the podcast is because his story is one we all should be able to relate to as entrepreneurs.
The road to success isn't easy and failure isn't easy either because as humans we want nothing more but to be successful and on many different terms or definitions.
