How would you convince people to come to a luxury resort in the middle of the Great Recession? In this episode, I talked with Courtney Smith, an online entrepreneur, triathlete, and mother who does it all!
Courtney started law school in her 20s but never finished her education because she was already busy being the Marketing Director of a luxury resort in AZ, USA.
How did she get to that stage? Make sure you listen to the full episode (ps. use the episode chapters :P )!
Her story is beyond inspiring for women, parents, young people, and any ambitious human who wants to start a business.
