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!
