Our guest this week is Marquis Wright, the owner of Mr. Wright Flooring in Jacksonville, FL. Marquis had a challenging start, growing up with a single mom and limited financial resources. He initially found work at McDonald's to support his family, but when that didn't work out, he turned to street games like Texas hold'em poker to make ends meet. However, his life took a turn when a family friend offered him some flooring work on the side, which eventually led to a full-time business. In this episode, Marquis shares how his street smarts and unconventional path have shaped his approach to running a successful business, setting him apart from traditional business models. Join us as we discuss the lessons he has learned and the unique perspective he brings to entrepreneurship.
