Big Swings: Three Entrepreneurs on Leaps, Lessons & What It Really Takes
Entrepreneurship is full of big swings. In this NCBI panel, three owners at different stages share the leap they took, the struggles they faced, and the systems and teams that helped them grow.
Guests: Amy Mucha (Daisy Pops), Marvin Montgomery Jr. (Kicks n’ Cuts), and Adam LaFaber (Digital Sandwich Agency).
We cover leaving a stable job, starting during COVID, hiring and delegation, building processes, handling failures and chargebacks, pricing/legitimacy checks, and the mindset shift from “doing it all” to leading a team. You’ll leave with practical ideas—and honest encouragement—to take your next step.
