About this episode

This episode features advice for entrepreneurs from callers seeking guidance on investment, stigma in healthcare, and market evaluation.

Today’s callers: Michelle from California assesses the trade offs of accepting outside investment to scale her organic granola brand. Then, Gloria from Connecticut wonders how to overcome stigma and get more people talking about her pelvic floor therapy device. And Eric from Australia evaluates new markets for his maple-based sports nutrition products.  Plus, Dan and Angie’s take on why even the busiest entrepreneur should find time to turn off their phone at the dinner table...  Thank you to the founders of Nana Joes Granola, Elidah, and mapleROO for being a part of our show.
