006 - Are We Going to Make it - Wes Clark (Rebroadcast)

Firefighter Peter Thorpe had seen a lot of devastating fires started by stoves, so he developed FireAvert, which automatically shuts off stoves. Wes Clark, Peter’s  business partner and our guest in this episode, shares with Clate and Scott what it was like to prepare for—and recover from—being on ABC’s Shark Tank, overcoming rejection, and figuring out the simplest way to solve business problems. Oh—and that time he exploded a can of beans all over the fire chief. Mentioned in this episode: “How the Mighty Fall” by Jim Collins. Want to get a leg up on your small business strategy?
