Meet Chris Castillo, serial entrepreneur, part owner of Ottawa’s Koichi Ramen and Mechanic to You. He’s been a business mentor of Casey’s for over 6 years as part of his Master Entrepreneur consulting group and recently launched a second coaching company called Fire Within.

In this episode we learn how Chris developed his entrepreneurial skills as a kid living with a single mom growing up in the desert of Chile to how he made his first $500 in consulting services at the age of 18.

Chris has a ton to offer in this podcast. Everything from goal setting to good business principles to how to be innovative and creative and how to use other people’s money. As usual, he over delivers!
