Part 3 of my Small Business Expo series in Washington DC is all about real conversations with real entrepreneurs.

In this episode, I break down my interview with Jessica Spaulding, owner of the Harlem Chocolate Factory, and the powerful lessons I picked up from everyday business owners in the room.

No fluff—just real insights on starting before you're ready, taking action, building meaningful brands, and why being in the right rooms can change everything.

If you’ve been stuck in learning mode and not executing, this episode is your wake-up call.
