If you've found this show, you probably have that entrepreneurial itch... and you've probably wrestled with just how to turn that impulse into action.

Well, that transition is exactly what today's show is about... so don't miss it.

Our guest Dave Menz shares his journey from poverty, to a corporate career, to taking the plunge into business and turning a struggling laundromat into a cash-flowing asset producing generational wealth (then scaling up).

And Dave pulled this off with no formal business training!

As he says in the episode, "If you want to see me accomplish something, tell me I can't do it."
