This was a fun episode. I sat down with Sandra Checketts of Sports Tower Inc. It was great to catch up with her, back in 1994, together we took the first commercial bungee jump to Japan and then in 1995 they took 14 more over there of which I played a part in 5 of them.
Sandra shares the things that she has learned from her entrepreneur experiences. The good the bad and the ugly. Lots of great information to be had.
We talked Bungee, Books and Wellness. great episode but I guess I am a little bias.
Enjoy.
