How I Broke That
For better or worse, most business owners have “broken” themselves, their business, or their industry at some point. Josh Chernikoff, a serial entrepreneur who has successfully grown (and broken) three bootstrapped businesses, interviews other entrepreneurs to learn how they built, broke, and rebuilt within their industry. Each episode will simultaneously induce cringes and provide comfort in helping you realize you are not alone in breaking something on your path to innovation.

Brian Beers on Resilience, Support and Building A Community
Brian Beers was born into a family of entrepreneurs. In fact, he was destined to become an owner of a Midas muffler repair shop since two generations of men in his family had been franchise owners.

- How Beerstook the business from six stores in 2010, lead an expansion in 2016, and now - along with his brother - owns 30 Midas shops in the Philadelphia area;
- And we will also throw it into fifth gear with Beers on how he runs his business, focuses on employees, and how really he thinks he could be successful in any industry;
Breakers don’t pump the breaks on this one, let’s welcome Brian Beers to the show!
