26 Being a single dad, step dad & entrepreneur with Todd Palmer

Todd Palmer became a single-parent at the age of 24, and recently, now in his fifties, Todd has become a step-father to a ten year old girl. Having spent all his money on the custody court case, he filed for personal bankruptcy at the age of 25, he started his business at 28, almost went bankrupt again before making the INC 5000 as one of America’s fastest-growing companies 6 times. Todd’s shares are powerful and it’s interesting to hear him opening up as a father and businessman. He opens up about his journey as a single parent and step-dad, male bonding between father and son, his divorce, bringing up a child on his own and how he was able to overcome impostor syndrome for himself. The session is fun and it’s meaningful on many levels. Enjoy it!
