330: What I've Learned 5 Years Into Entrepreneurship
This week I’m walking you down the winding path I took to get Side Hustle Pro to where it is today. Starting in the corporate world at companies like NPR and Google, it took me several years and several career experiences to realize that I was meant for entrepreneurship.

- How and why I decided to quit my job and become a full time entrepreneur
- Why I went back to school to get my MBA, and still continue to take courses, read, and seek out mentors to develop my business skills
- The honest reality of entrepreneurship and how I’ve navigated it’s pros and cons
