The Transition by Bunker Labs

In this episode of the Transition, I’m joined by Army Veteran and Executive Coach Charlie Gilkey, Founder of Productive Flourishing, which helps creators, business owners, and leaders thrive, through award-winning tools and services. Additionally, Charlies is also the author of “The Small Business Lifecycle: A Guide for Taking the Right Steps at the Right Time” and “Start Finishing: How to Go from Idea to Done.” On the show, Charlie opens up about the reality of building a sustainable business for the long haul, including navigating the ebbs and flows, avoiding shiny object syndrome, and making sure you take care of yourself along the way. This is a powerful conversation to remind you what lies ahead, especially for those of you early in your journey.
