Fireside Chats, Episode 53: Small Business Catharsis

Summary: Owning a small business is hard work. Really hard work, actually. Today's guest, Kyle Eastman, reinforces this notion with his story of determination and grit. Eastman owns a used games and sports equipment store in Oklahoma, but his journey in getting there is an interesting one. Telling that story requires us to ask a series of questions, though. Is college really that important? Should people leap into uncertain situations with equally uncertain outcomes? What's more important: Money or happiness? We discuss all of that and more. But in reality, this episode consists of two small business owners trading war stories and commiserating. Small Business Catharsis, if you will.
