Not every journey is the same — from inception to implementation, the roads to being an entrepreneur are numerous. That’s why our newest podcast Circle Back shares the unique stories of some of the city’s most prominent entrepreneurs.
“I’m a believer that you’re a born entrepreneur — that you don’t go to school and get classes and learn how to be an entrepreneur. I think entrepreneurism is just seeing things a little bit differently, problem solving in a way that somebody else wouldn’t see things,” said Cordia Harrington, founder of The Bakery Cos.
But even born entrepreneurs start in different places. For Dan Crockett, founder of Franklin American Mortgage, it was mowing lawns for $10 an hour. For Darrell Freeman, founder of Zycron, it was in an office on Murfreesboro Road, he said.
“It was $150 a month that included all of the utilities and it was office to have one window. It was the size of a closet. I went back to visit that office about five years ago, and it is a closet,” said Freeman.

In interviews with entrepreneurs like Governor Phil Bredesen, Darrell Freeman, Beth Chase, Cordia Harrington, Dan Crockett, Shannon Terry and Clint Smith, Circle Back will revisit the moments that defined their different paths to success.
“A lot of times you’re, you’re looking for a single reason on why something works. Well, in a lot of instances, things work because it all works together,” said 247 Sports and ComicBook.com founder Shannon Terry.
