Tales of a Serial Entrepreneur

Empty Nest Quest

Ever felt the thrill of transforming a simple hobby into a flourishing enterprise? That's precisely what I am thrilled to recount in the newest installment of the Empty Nester Entrepreneur podcast. My entrepreneurial odyssey began with a love for paper products, blossoming during the early days of motherhood. In our conversation, I'll reveal the scrappy, yet incredibly effective strategies that took me from crafting invitations at my kitchen table to identifying and captivating the perfect customer. This episode isn't just about the success—it's a heartfelt narrative of passion-fueled profit, peppered with practical advice for anyone riding the wave from active parenting to embarking on a business dream as an empty nester.
Fasten your seatbelts as we reminisce on the rollercoaster ride that is Alumni Cookie Dough. Picture this: a spark ignites in a bustling New York City cookie dough cafe and leaps all the way to the classic college town of Athens, Georgia. You'll hear the unexpected twists and turns of opening a storefront, the adrenaline of seeing a line snake down the street, the bold move into franchising, and the tenacity required to weather the storm of a global pandemic. Celebrating five years of sweet resilience, I'm proud to share the challenges overcome and the strategies that helped us not just survive, but thrive and expand the Alumni Cookie Dough brand to what it is today. So, join us for a dose of inspiration and maybe even find the ingredient you've been missing to take your own venture to the next level.
