Resilience is a word that gets used a lot in business, but Peter Khoury has the story to back it up. He went from financial hardship and moving in with his in-laws to building a company and securing a major debt warehouse facility, a turnaround that anchors his conversation with Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour.
More than a comeback story, the episode is a candid look at what it takes to rebuild. Peter Khoury walks through the early struggles behind R2B Group, the lessons he learned scaling a business, and why he eventually channeled that drive into a venture designed to help others give more easily.
