Excited to share Episode 21 with y'all! 
What better time to have a turnaround expert on the show, right? 
Jeff Sands is a 3x winner of the Turnaround Of The Year award (2017-2019), and he's got a good shot at 2020. He spent his early career working in his family business. When outside pressures rattled the company, Jeff realized two things: a) the importance of cash and b) that nobody taught him how to manage this crisis. 
Jeff's passion is turning around troubled businesses, and he's one of the best in the world at it.
