"People want to know how the business is being built" - Ross Mackay, Founder, Entrepreneur, Athlete

In the first of the NEW in-person 'Extra Bite' formats of Bitesized Podcast I had the pleasure of taking to Ross Mackay - founder of Daring Foods, Co-Founder Cadence & one of the most inspirational founders I've met.
The episode is packed full of insight into Ross entrepreneurial journey. I was inspired and motivated talking to him about his approach to business, entrepreneurship, fitness, leadership & for anyone starting or even like me, some way down the path of building teams and companies, it's a must listen.
Episode Includes:
- Moving to the US from Scotland fueled by a dream
- Starting his first company in a competitive, nascent space
- Raising Capital
- Building a brand and a community
- The 'new era' of entrepreneurship - the anti hustle culture
- The highs and lows of entrepreneurship and how he's navigated his way through it
- The role fitness plays in his life and how it supports his business ventures
+ so so much more
Ross has also just launched his new hydration brand, Cadence, with George Heaton, founder of fashion brand Represent - learn more here: lnkd.in/g6PcHgM6

I'm thinking to put some cash in stocks, I was at Salt Shack and i overheard some friends saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?

[@Manselus-mn1mn]

Off course, but Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional.

A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

[@MablePauls]

This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation

[@SirBenjamin-oq1wd]

Angela Lynn Shilling is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

[@MablePauls]

I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
