Why This Podcast Matters
Shedding Light on the Loneliness of Entrepreneurship
Lea Turner understands that the journey of a business owner can be incredibly isolating. “I wanted to start the podcast because people don’t realize how lonely and tough running a business can be,” she explains. The aim is to create a supportive space where entrepreneurs can share their stories and find solace in knowing they are not alone in their struggles.
Tackling Real Challenges
Each episode is designed to confront the gritty realities that entrepreneurs face.
