Episode 03 - Power in Partnership: Small Biz & Entrepreneurship

Welcome (back) to the Visionary Nurse™ Podcast! Presented by Antonette Montalvo Consulting and Coaching Services, and inspired by Montalvo International Community Health Initiative, this podcast was designed to educate, uplift, and support each other as we dare to be influentially visionary! In this episode of the “Power in Partnership" Series, I chat with Andre Gregory, current owner of Smoothie King Store 1799, in Greenwood, SC, as he shares his journey of going from educator to entrepreneur, and as we talk through how nurses would be a great asset to the world of small business & entrepreneurship. In the words of Andre B Gregory: “People may forget your face or your name, but they will never forget how you made them feel. This sentiment has become a creed for everything I do. As the current owner of Smoothie King Store 1799, located in Greenwood SC (Smoothie King Greenwood), I strive to create an experience where the guest feels welcomed and my Team feels appreciated. Most of my 20yr professional career has been in education, both K-12 and Higher Ed, but it is Entrepreneurship that really fulfills me and allows me to use my gifts and skills. Outside of Running with the Bulls in Spain, operating my own business is one of the most exciting challenges I have undertaken. None of this would be possible without my wife, Andrea, who has helped shape me into the man I am today, and my kids Tessa and Elliot who keep me alert and young.” To hear us cheer nurses on and dare them to be influentially visionary — check out the episode exclusively on the Visionary Nurse™ YouTube channel or follow me @visionarynurse on Instagram or Facebook for details on how to tune in! 👩🏾‍💻And don’t forget to like, comment, share, and subscribe to the Visionary Nurse™️ YouTube channel to catch fresh episodes each month. #visionarynurse #visionaryvibes #thursdaythoughts #entrepreneurship #smallbusiness #SBDC #smoothiekinggreenwood #powerinpartnership #andregregory #Nursespodcaster Disclaimer: Antonette Montalvo, Visionary Nurse™, or any subsidiaries, affiliate companies or organizations associated with Antonette Montalvo cannot be held liable for the information presented in this podcast.
