Each episode uncovers the sparks of inspiration, the challenges they faced, and the mindsets that helped them overcome obstacles in their journey.

Mikey Barnes--Starting From Nothing
In this podcast, I talk with Mikey Barnes, who started a business called Get Rid of It Fredericksburg, which was just a finalist in the Best of the Burg, which is a big deal around the Spotsylvania and Fredericksburg area. In this, we ask him questions about what it’s like to start a business and what the pros and cons of starting your own business are. He talks about how he started from nothing to where he is now and where he wants to be. At some point in this episode, he offers valuable advice to young entrepreneurs who aspire to start their own businesses one day.
