The Simple Adventurist Entrepreneur

We recently interviewed Scott Cook of Sarasota Guitar Company/SGCNation.com and I truly enjoyed learning their journey as business owners in the music industry. One of the first things Scott told me was “We started with one guitar in a flea market.” Immediately after I heard that, I was eager to learn more.

It doesn’t matter what you do or what business you’re in, you need to have a passion for … Continue reading →
