Welcome to the show! The Storytellers Project presents "Entrepreneurship and Hustle" at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on Oct. 1.
These are tough times, but we'll get through it together. Join us for true, first-person stories from the lives of your neighbors about life, the grind, and the sacrifices of building something all your own. They will tell their stories from their homes, using their devices, and Megan Finnerty, will emcee live!
What do you hope listeners take away from your story?
As it pertains to my personal story when buying the agency, I had extremely large shoes to fill but what I have learned along the way is that you can create your own footprint.
Who or what inspired you to tell this story?
My inspiration has always been my mother, Sharon. She was my biggest cheerleader and the reason I am who I am today. Although she has been gone for over a decade now, she still fuels my drive to succeed.
What do you hope listeners take away from your story?
I hope to share a true success story about how a lost loved one can continue to touch lives. I have done this by believing that my son lives on within my heart. A loved one's passing does not mean that they are not still working through us to touch lives.
Who or what inspired you to tell this story?
Many of us will face tragedies and lose a very special person in our lives. How we embrace that experience and keep their spirit close will be more than our salvation. During this time, I want people to know that they are not going through these experiences alone.
What do you hope listeners take away from your story?
The path of entrepreneurship and to never give up.
Who or what inspired you to tell this story?
Entrepreneurship is now harder than ever, but there is always a path forward.
What do you hope listeners take away from your story?
That opening a distillery isn’t all about drinking vodka and making whiskey.
Who or what inspired you to tell this story?
I want people to understand that we all have a responsibility to help and support others.
What do you hope listeners take away from your story?
As a Millennial entrepreneur I want to take the intimidation out of entrepreneurship and let people know that they can do anything that they want. Despite being told by the Sharks on Shark Tank that I would never succeed with Teaspressa, I didn't take no for an answer... I want people to know that failure is a strength and passion is your path.
Who or what inspired you to tell this story?
My biggest goal is to continue to be an innovative company, so I never stop dreaming, listening to customers and creating new ways to give back to the communiTEA through Teaspressa and my entrepreneurial story. As a female and a minority business owner, I am passionate about sharing my journey and hope to empower young women and fellow entrepreneurs to continue to follow their dreams...and persevere knowing that it is possible to turn your passion into a career.
