Check out the full episode here:
Megan Erber went from the Navy to Jiu Jitsu entrepreneur!
From Navy to Jiu Jitsu fighter, this entrepreneur has battled in life in many
different ways. Coming from a background of having two brothers and needing to
fight for everything that she wanted. She turned her passion for adventure into
a career with the Navy, and when that chapter of her life had come to a close,
Megan Erber found comfort at kicking butt in Jiu Jitsu.
Now, a bit later in life, dealing with injuries and not being able to recover as
fast. Megan Erber has turned her competitiveness into becoming a entrepreneur by
taking her knowledge of the promotional items industry to make it work for
herself. With the help of her mom, she has been able to spread her wings and go
out on her own and take her passion to another level! And yet somehow she still
finds time to be a mother to six children!
