Early on they were able to work with companies like IBM, American Airlines, BP, Four Seasons and several other high-profile companies.

Are fame, fortune, and the life of an entrepreneur as good as the media portrays it or is there another side entirely? It can’t be all glitz and glamour, can it?

If you want to get the real scoop, not just the polished, social media post ready version, of the life of an entrepreneur, then you’ve got to listen to this episode! When was the last time you had a really good idea? Were you able to monetize that idea or did it lead to some type of success in your life? Let’s face it; most people will never have a million dollar idea in their life, even if they have one, most people won’t act on it. Cory Warfield is clearly cut from a different cloth than most people. Even when he had sizeable offers coming his way for his business, Cory held firm, convinced that his idea was worth more.

Doesn’t that sort of thing only happen in the movies? It was a real-life moment for Cory Warfield, and he was in almost as much disbelief as you are reading this! What was he going to do? Should he have taken the deal? To this day, Cory is convinced that he made the right decision. Even looking back, he says that at that moment he still didn’t regret saying no to the offer.
