This is a podcast where I talk to my guests about their journey to success. We talk about their education, experience, current business, and future endeavours. A feature length episode with Jan Cavelle, who is an author, writer, and speaker about entrepreneurship. We talk to Jan about her early years as a child on a farm and the transition to entrepreneurship. We talk a lot about the struggles of starting and building a business, and the key points of resilience and persistence to grow the business. Jan talks about physical and mental health struggles. Jan talks passionately about her writing articles and two books which have been pivotal for her growth as a person. We then talk about how governments aren’t helping business owners and perhaps a few ways they can help.
