At Rebel, we strive to give you the best possible advice for every obstacle you may encounter in your entrepreneurial journey, however, we recognize that sometimes building your business can be a lonely experience. That is why Alan came up with the idea for the coaching series! To let all you entrepreneurs out there know you are not alone. We wanted to do that whilst giving you advice that is applicable to your business and helping you to get going quicker.

Our Guest of Honor
|
Meet Christina Russo, the owner and founder of Fresh Print Media! Christina randomly showed up to a meetup online Alan ran and they got talking about growing Christina's business. Alan thought "why not turn it into a podcast episode that helps other people at the same time?" Over 12 episodes, we witness Christina's transition from a 9-5 employee with a side-hustle, to a full-time entrepreneur!
Listen to her journey for helpful tips and tricks that you can implement for your small business, side-hustle, or business idea. The main thing we want you to do is to take action alongside Christina each and every episode and start to really build the business of your dreams. Join the Rebel Entrepreneurs as they build businesses and make money doing something they love! |
