Giving back through education and leadership after a life-threatening illness.
In the latest episode of Kind of a Big Deal, host Kimberly Davis interviews Henry Rose, a business owner, publisher, civic leader, and community builder with a story that is both inspiring and deeply relatable.
Henry shares how facing a life-threatening illness at just 29 years old reshaped his perspective and ultimately fueled his drive to build something meaningful. What followed was the creation of a successful publishing company, along with a growing commitment to giving back through education efforts and Chamber leadership. His journey is a powerful example of how adversity can become a turning point instead of a stopping point.
Throughout the conversation, Henry talks about what it takes to start a business when the odds feel stacked against you, and why staying focused and believing in yourself matters more than waiting for perfect circumstances. He also dives into the importance of building multiple streams of revenue, how networking can create unexpected opportunities, and why saying yes to new experiences can lead to relationships that transform both your business and your life.
The episode wraps with practical advice for entrepreneurs centered on trust, consistency, and doing the work even when no one is watching. It is a motivating listen for anyone looking to turn setbacks into growth and build something bigger than themselves.
