In this episode we break down how business is like the Army with my pal Nick Stroesser from Corporal for Life Apparel. In today's episode, we have a special guest, Nick Stroesser, joining us. Nick is the founder and owner of C4L Apparel, a brand inspired by military service and pride. We'll dive into Nick's journey, from his time in the military to starting his own business, and the ups and downs he faced along the way. We'll also discuss his recent venture into the world of beverages, collaborating with a local distillery to launch a rum, vodka, and gin. Nick's story is one of determination, resilience, and the power of believing in oneself. So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and let's get started with Episode 183 - Nick Stroesser C4L.
