    While a handful of business owners achieve incredible success overnight, for most it’s a process that takes time, patience, and a lot of courage. Ross Cassidy’s story is no different. His journey to becoming one of New York's hottest decorators spans three continents and at least 4 careers, including a stint as a dollar bartender. As he explains in his interview, one constant theme that he’s found in his life is that the biggest risks always reap the biggest rewards. This is truly inspirational for all entrepreneurs!

    To find out how Ross went from a dollar draft bartender to working with million dollar clients, check out episode 4 of Courageous Leaders below.
