44 | Zac Guy | Why Entrepreneurship is Not for the Faint-Hearted

How can you smoothly and strategically transition from your day job to owning a thriving small business?

On today’s show, we interview Zac Guy, founder, Appalachian Antique Hardwoods who shares with us his distilled wisdom on managing and scaling a successful side hustle, and perks and cons of entrepreneurship over corporate America.

Back when Zac was a college student, he handmade a display case, and immediately found an eager buyer who paid $1,300 for it. After this AH-HA moment, there was no stopping him.

He continued to operate his wood business from his dorm room at NCSU, and later on as a high-ranking executive in a pharmaceutical company.

In this segment of the show, you will learn about the different sacrifices that Zac made so that he could keep his side hustle going. His passion and his grit will surely inspire you, and also serve as a reality check.

One of the main themes that we touch upon in today’s show is the importance of being employee-centric. You cannot hope to be successful without good employees who bring their best self forward, day in, day out.

Zac also shares why entrepreneurship is not for the faint-hearted. And why you need to go all in to enjoy sustainable success.

This is one show you do not want to miss.
