Episode 242: Are you in need of a little business bootcamp? If you answered yes, you’ve come to the right place! On today’s episode, Natalie is sitting down with a fellow Forbes 30 under 30 founder and Miami local, Juan Camilo Meisel, for a deep dive into Juan's entrepreneurial journey. From his childhood candy-selling escapades in Columbia to founding businesses like the Amazon of South America and becoming one of the earliest members of the Butcher Box team, Juan is spilling all the tea. The conversation explores the significance of making quick decisions, the art of learning by doing, and the messy reality of what achieving success actually looks like, despite what you may see on social media. Juan also shares insights into his latest venture, Grip, which focuses on the logistics of shipping perishable goods. It's a power-packed session offering a behind-the-scenes look at the entrepreneurial journey and the unmistakable power of hard work.
