I asked Melissa to come on the show because I knew she was a business owner that had managed to survive COVID despite some major challenges. I was not prepared for what she would tell me. We promised to keep it raw, so that's what this video is. Completely raw. Get your tissues ready. She is a veteran who ended up in federal prison, and yet somehow managed to put her life back together, start a business, and hire several employees. She's gotten involved in local chambers, is a master networker, and a beautiful human. I spent half the interview fighting back tears!
