There, their brains relax enough to play a little, to connect dots, to imagine what could be, and to solve puzzles. It's outdoors in nature - unplugged. On Entrepreneurs Gone Wild, you'll meet these entrepreneurs. You'll hear their stories and share how they use time outdoors as a crucial part of their life and business. They'll inspire you in your business and your life, too.Entrepreneurs Gone Wild comes to you from Idyllwild Woods Retreat Center, an entrepreneur retreat center coming soon to the Smokies.
