129 The Essence of an Entrepreneur

"Opportunities don't happen, you create them." — Chris Grosser For this episode, we discuss the entrepreneurial journey of Taylor Rivas and the team at H2O Away based in Tumwater, Washington. We touch on some of the history of property restoration in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). We replay some of our past interviews, including clips from industry pioneers Claude Blackburn and Cliff Zlotnik. In the middle of all this we take a trip down memory lane to learn about building a unique culture at beloved brand Snappled and the corporate implosion after big money got involved.
