School drop-out to 17 year old entrepreneur - my business story (389)

Starting the Conversation · Sep 22, 2026 · 30m

In almost 400 podcast episodes I've told a lot of other peoples' business stories, but never my own. Until today. I love hearing peoples origin stories. It's equal parts interesting and affirming to be reminded just how messy and in my case - accidental - the early days can be.

Tune in to learn about the first business I began age 15, the reason I quit school to be a professional elf (seriously, that's true) and how a hotel breakfast led me to run a business at 17.
