Finding That Next Gear is all about Entrepreneurship and for Entrepreneurs. I started the podcast, “Finding That Next Gear” because I have always been obsessed with entrepreneurship. To me, it never mattered if you had a carwash, a hot dog stand, a financial services company, or a software company. Talking business has always been enjoyable and something I could truly “nerd out” on. It wasn’t until I turned 36 that I found the courage to go at it alone and started my own company, The Free Agent (www.thefreeagent.com). Ever since then I have been on a quest to uncover the difference between those that succeed and those that don’t. Is it smarts, funding, sheer determination, perseverance, luck, or some other unique trait? Whatever the characteristic, my goal is to get to the bottom of what set’s the doers apart from the talkers. https://findingthatnextgear.com/ - Beau Billington - Show less
