As an entrepreneur and investor, this podcast is truly inspiring and motivating. I enjoyed the thought-provoking conversations that include golden nuggets of information that I’ve paid thousands for at conferences and mentoring. It’s also beneficial for entrepreneurs at every stage. Given that I’ve been in the game for 5 years now, I was able to connect with the messaging in both a practical and social manner. This is a must for anyone who truly desires growth-minded dialogue that’s motivating and informative all in one. We needed this.
God said.
Where there’s 2 or more in a place that comes together.
They Can; move mountains.
I love what So Ambitious is doing as an black structure business model, for helping others in the community of achievement.
Makes me feel proud; in the direction of others to achieve successful business objectives and goals for the people of the communities
