In this episode of the Million Dollar Mastermind podcast, host Larry Weidel is joined by Alan Pentz, CEO of Corner Alliance. Alan shares his journey, starting from his early exposure to the Internet and choosing a career in politics, leading to important roles on Capitol Hill, before pivoting to entrepreneurship and consulting. He details the challenges of consulting in government, the skills needed for success, and the transitions required as an entrepreneur's business matures. Shifting from a hands-on consultant and operator to a business owner and investor, Alan now focuses on mentoring emerging entrepreneurs through The Small Business Mentor Podcast and invests in various ventures like affordable housing and solar energy.
