Bending Rules - joined by "solopreneur" Reynolds Maxwell, a successful commercial real estate investor, shares journey from Corp America into solo entrepreneurship vs joining a smaller co or start-up

Intro: Entrepreneurship is not a "one size fits all" type of endeavor. I have always been fascinated why some people want to build companies and others are more comfortable operating alone.
