Barry Solomon is what we could call a later-stage entrepreneur, as he bought his first business while in his fifties. After working for the family business his father started for many (quite difficult) years, Barry moved on to work in advertising, and then again in a few other fields before actually moving to California, where he bought his business. In parallel, Barry’s story is also just as interesting on the personal side, as he is a survivor of a kidney and heart transplant. Tune in to see how Barry’s values and evolving takes on faith got him through this journey.
