How Misfortune Helped Me Create a Billion Dollar Business with Daniel Rosen

Host Katie Richardson’s newest guest on The What’s Working Now Show is a personal friend and inspiration. His story begins, oddly, with juggling on street corners for money at age 13. Fast forward and Daniel Rosen is founder of “his baby,” Credit Repair Cloud, where he helps customers on a personal level to get control of their credit and lead healthier monetary lives. And now, Credit Repair Cloud is aiming to be a multi billion-dollar business in the next handful of years. But on the road of his major change from street performer to industry conqueror, Daniel reveals a life of financial stress and uncertainty, despite starring on seasonal television (one of these being The Price is Right) and Broadway.

Join them for their insightful conversation about the true principles applied inside of our guest’s business that lead to success, and learn why Daniel urges listeners to take care of themselves during their exponential growth periods down to the morning routine.
