++ episode 86: taking immediate action to start a business idea and figuring out the details later, failing & working through the kinks along the way, not needing a roadmap to succeed & starting a company with no money feat Ellen Bennett


Listen Later

Ellen Bennett is the CEO/Founder of Hedley & Bennett, a Los Angeles based apron and work wear company at 25 while working as a line cook at a 2 Michelin star restaurant in LA. She found that the aprons in the industry were poorly made and needed an upgrade. Ellen saw a hole in the market, but most importantly became extremely passionate about creating a stylish and durable apron for chefs.

Fast forward, Ellen has written a book Dream First, Details Later and has her own show Kitchen Glow Up; a kitchen renovation series!

Ellen shares it all in this podcast episode! From how she started a company with only $300, the importance of putting yourself out there and being scrappy, that it's okay to fail and hear no's [just gets you closer to where you need to be] and how to continue creating and believing in everything you do!

I loved this conversation and hearing Ellen's story. She is an absolute go-getter and is so inspiring. You'll leave this episode feeling motivated to go after your dreams too!
