#43 Launching “No Days Off” Beverage Business in the Most Challenging Market | Manning Sumner

Most entrepreneurs panic when disaster strikes, but Manning Sumner has made a career of responding with faith instead of reacting with fear. After career-ending back fractures derailed his Auburn football dreams, he discovered that obstacles aren’t roadblocks, they’re redirections toward your real purpose. This conversation explores how a former college linebacker built Legacy Fit from an abandoned Miami warehouse into seven thriving locations, then disrupted the premium water industry by partnering with the Miami Heat and outselling Fiji by six times.
