  • Turning Charcuterie Into a Business | S5 EP. 19

    On this episode of Risk Taker Podcast, we sit down with the owners of Graze Craze Richmond to talk about what it's really been like building their first franchise together.

    They get into why they chose the franchise route, how they divide responsibilities based on their strengths, and some of the things they weren't prepared for including commercial real estate, building the right team, and the very real fear of failure.  Pasted text

    After 24 years together and 20 years of marriage, they also share how communication, trust, and being willing to adjust have helped them build together. And they're already having those pillow talks about locations two and three.  Pasted text

  • Turning Your Side Hustle into Your Main Hustle | S5 EP. 17

    In this episode of the Risk Taker Podcast, host Ebens Jean sits down with Michael E. Adler, Esq., attorney, entrepreneur, and founder of Adler Consulting Strategies, to discuss what it really takes to leave the security of a paycheck, build a successful business, and bet on yourself.

    After 30 years in the legal profession, Michael shares why he took the risk of starting his own law practice at age 40, the challenges he faced, and how he now helps entrepreneurs transition from an employee mindset to a business owner mindset.

    But entrepreneurship isn't just about having a great business idea. What happens when your biggest client walks away? How do you build a powerful network that opens doors? And how do you prepare financially before making the leap?

    Michael shares valuable lessons on starting a business, growing your network, managing financial risks, finding mentors, building a trusted team of advisors, and surrounding yourself with people who support your vision.

    He also reveals why waiting for the perfect time can hold you back and why building strong relationships may be one of the greatest investments you ever make.

    Whether you're starting a side hustle, preparing to leave your 9-to-5, or looking for ways to grow your existing business, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about entrepreneurship, success, and taking calculated risks.

    Because betting on yourself isn't just about taking risks. It's about preparing yourself for the opportunities ahead.
