122. From Stay-at-Home Mom to CEO: What No One Tells You About Starting a Business


Listen Later

Starting a business is one thing—figuring out everything no one tells you? That’s a whole different story. In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Ford, a stay-at-home mom turned CEO, who went from searching for a bounce house for her daughter’s birthday to launching a thriving bounce house rental business of her own.

We dive into the messy middle of entrepreneurship—the late nights, the financial risks, the unexpected sacrifices—and how she’s learning to balance building a business while being present for her kids. If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to turn a passion into a profitable business (while still trying to keep up with laundry), this episode is for you!
