Welcome back to another episode of Long Story Short! In this episode, me and my dad, Mark Chassman continued to dive more into his incredible journey through entrepreneurship and the lessons he's learned along the way. It's kinda' impossible to smush everything in one episode, so we went back for Part 2.
We'll explore his thoughts on formal education, the importance of seeking advice from those who have achieved what we desire, and the power of discernment when it comes to taking advice. We'll also hear about my dad's experience during the tragic events of 9/11, which deeply affected him and led to some life-altering decisions.
So sit back, relax, and get ready for another captivating episode of Long Story Short. Let's dive in!
