It's easy to talk about success because that's the beautiful destination we all typically focus on and see waiting on the horizon, but no one ever wants to talk about how failure is what actually paves the road to get us there. Jeremy Elrod is a small business entrepreneur and creative consultant who uses stories of his own countless failures and those of other everyday entrepreneurs he interviews to connect, relate and give encouragement to other likeminded dream chasers and people who are paving their own paths of entrepreneurship. The Candid Entrepreneur Podcast is a collection of interviews with small business owners and entrepreneurs from all walks of life and levels of success, candidly talking about the unique experiences, struggles, mistakes, misconceptions and failures they've faced (or are facing) on their pursuit of entrepreneurial success.
