INSPIRE

The path of an entrepreneur is not linear – it’s full of ups and downs, mistakes and strokes of luck, and lessons learned through failure. We aren’t afraid to show the good, the bad, and the ugly – normalizing fears and moments of self-doubt as part of the journey. Instead of powering through the tough times, these stories give you permission to be messy and aim to Inspire you to stay the course and keep the faith. In between the personal stories of entrepreneurs, you’ll also find INSPIRING examples of people who are committed to giving back to their community and working in a socially responsible way.
