Ever wondered what it’s like to go from solo entrepreneurship to a thriving business partnership? In this episode, I sit down with Dana Clark, founder of Cool to Connect, and Portia Chambers, founder of The We Experience. These two incredible women built their own businesses and later joined forces to create We Connect. From complete strangers to business partners and best friends, they share how prioritizing relationship-building set the foundation for their success.
Together we dive into their entrepreneurial journeys, navigating boundaries, and why being bold in networking can be a game-changer!
Key topics:
- How Dana and Portia started their businesses and what inspired them to take the leap into entrepreneurship.
- The mindset behind taking risks, overcoming failures, and staying persistent in business.
