Podcast Episode 84: Crash & Learn with Mike Kim

Crash & Learns are where I interview an entrepreneur about a time that they probably don’t want to talk about – a total business failure.

This week, I’m talking to Mike Kim, a marketing consultant and business coach that specializes in branding. Mike has this incredible ability to tell a story.

Since Mike’s first day in the C-Suite of the corporate world, he was plotting to get out of there. I think you’ll find a lot of commonalities with Mike’s story.
