What is 1,000 Routes with Nick Bennett?

Becoming an entrepreneur takes grit.

Deciding to do it solo takes courage.

This is 1,000 Routes, the podcast where we explore the stories of solopreneurs who have made the bet on themselves to build a business that serves their life. Every episode you'll hear about the lessons they've learned and the uncommon routes they've taken to stand out in a world that is purposefully trying to commoditize them.
