Andrew is the founder of Rush Bowls, which is a rapidly growing franchise redefining healthy fast food all over the country. After being burned out with his career in finance, he picked up and moved his entire family to a new state and started all over from scratch. Seeing an opportunity after realizing that a smoothie really wasn\u2019t a solid solution to lunch, he started the first Rush Bowl 17 years ago and today they have 35 stores with plans to open 15 more this year. &amp;nbsp; In this interview Andrew shares his story, some of the ups and downs of starting a business from scratch, and perhaps my favorite thing\u2026. Which is him talking about leaving a really really high paying career and starting all over because he wasn\u2019t happy. That takes a lot of courage to do.
