FRANK GREEFF INTERVIEW

Being On-Purpose & Honouring Your Creativity with Frank Greeff | 659

Recently ex-chef turned online entrepreneur Frank Greef shared his incredible journey with us in which he and his brothers started a business in a field they knew nothing about, risking their parents’ livelihood, and then selling it for $180M.
