In episode one of “The Hurdle,” Jade and Max sit down with the dynamic Mike White, a serial entrepreneur from Salem, Oregon, whose journey is anything but ordinary. From his teenage days hustling knock-off designer purses and dabbling in a pyramid scheme to becoming the visionary behind an award-winning BBQ sauce brand, Mike’s entrepreneurial path is as diverse as it is inspiring.

Today, Mike is not just the proud owner of his hometown’s oldest diner, White’s Restaurant, and a Barre3 franchise co-owned with his wife. He also spearheads an angel fund dedicated to nurturing emerging entrepreneurs and has launched impactful ventures in the social sector.

Tune in for a conversation about embracing innovation, taking risks, and making a meaningful impact.

We understand that challenge, and we also know what it takes to be successful.
