In this rich and inspiring episode, Mary Meyer sits down with Don Kurz, entrepreneur, former championship athlete, dance instructor, and author of Do the Hustle: Life Lessons from Studio 54, the Championship Lacrosse Field, and the Boardroom<\/em>. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep going after life knocks you flat, this conversation is for you. Don’s story is a remarkable trifecta of sports, dance, and business, from tearing his ligaments on one of the first Astroturf fields to teaching disco steps, dancing at the iconic Studio 54, taking a company public on NASDAQ, and later navigating painful losses with grace and hard-won wisdom. <\/p>\n\n\n \n

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that the pieces do eventually come together, if you’re willing to do your part.<\/p>\n\n\n \n
