April Rose: An Unconventional Business Journey
Episode 1

What does a candlemaker, petsitter & college missionary have in common?
All things that I have claimed as one of my "jobs" in the past 15 years!

An entrepreneurial journey is unique to every individual, and to say the least mine
is NOT conventional.

In this episode, we will cover

My first business I started at the age of 10
How my candlemaking business taught me why it's important to be set apart
How a job in ministry, fundraising my salary, taught me a lot about trust & uncomfortable conversations
Why I turned down a full-time job in design while I was "unemployed"
