Joanne Roberts gives props to the feminist movement for giving her the guts to go after her dreams of working in the television industry -- just as her father had -- after years she spent as a Kindergarten teacher. Teaching wasn't her passion, but it was what she thought she was supposed to do, the kind of work women did at the time. But when her then-husband got a job in L.A. and they relocated to the West coast, Joanne went for it, realizing the time was now!

After getting her show on television and building an Internet company, the bubble bursts in more ways than one. On this episode, Joanne talks about boldly pursuing your dream, recovering from failure, redefining entrepreneurship, reinventing yourself and discovering what's now and what's next!
