If we’re honest with ourselves, sometimes we, as business leaders, expect opportunity to show up on our doorstep like the pizza delivery guy. But most of the time? Opportunity knocks in a much more subtle way—it’s faint and far off, and you’ve got to go out and find it. Sometimes, you’ve got to create it. And no one knows that better than The Bakery Cos. founder and CEO Cordia Harrington, fondly known around here as the Bun Lady. From her early days as a real estate agent in Russellville, Arkansas, Cordia has taken a “never give up” approach to business and seen it pay off in major ways. Tune in to hear how she’s built a business and team that’s continuing to grow and thrive—even in the middle of a global pandemic.

While many people stubbornly subscribe to the you-have-to-borrow-money-to-make-money philosophy, Dave Ramsey knows that idea is just a bold-faced lie. And he learned it the hard way. Forced to file bankruptcy in his twenties, Dave started over from scratch and has since built a multimillion-dollar business the only way he knows how: at the speed of cash. That’s right, over 25 years later and now with a team of nearly 1,000 people, Dave is—and has resolved to remain—debt-free. Tune in to hear Dave explain why debt is never the answer, no matter how tempting an opportunity may be—or how dire the circumstances (we’re looking at you, COVID-19).
