Show Summary

This week Mike Michalowicz, Chris Curran, and Kristina Bolduc speak with Ruby Tan to discuss how she navigated personal debt. For many people this type of struggle may devastate their family and maybe even cause people to lose their homes and everything they own… but Ruby was able to navigate it by facing the challenges head on and taking very quick but strategic actions; actions that got Ruby’s family back on their feet and today they’re in a better position than ever before. As a result now Ruby is now a Profit First Professional who helps entrepreneurs in our mission to Eradicate Entrepreneurial Poverty. Welcome to Episode 117 of the Profit First Podcast!
