Rippling with The Amazing Lisa Cox
Had such an amazing time Rippling with a woman that played a very big part in my early days as an entrepreneur. Lisa Cox was a Junior Achievement Coordinator that saw potential in me that maybe I didn't see in myself. Whether she believes it or not, she actually played a role in helping form me into the Rippling machine I am today. Even if it took a strong Texas accent and some butt kicking boots to do it.
