How'd ya do it?
This is the "How'd ya do it?" and I'm your host, Lyle Wilks. I believe that people have more to offer and knowledge to share, than they ever give themselves credit for. So with that, my goal is to deep dive into the success stories of business owners, entrepreneurs, and community icons so they can share the road they traveled and what they learned along the way!
