#OneThirtyAM - Ep. 13: Overcoming All The Odds w/ Eric Arnold (CEO of Planswell)

In this "lucky" episode, we dive into the life's journey of Eric Arnold - serial entrepreneur, founder of Planswell, and a proud dad.

Eric started with nothing. He didn't inherit wealth, nor was he born into a family with existing businesses.
Throughout his younger years, he tasted and experimented with different jobs, products, and startups - until he launched Planswell, a company that set out to democratize financial planning.

Listen to Ep. 13 to learn how curiosity and opportunistic mindset led Eric to launch 9 startups before he stumbled upon the opportunity to disrupt financial planning, how he raised $4 million in 40 minutes, and how one critical mistake almost made him lose it all.
