It’s easy to think you understand success stories. But when real life hits at the worst possible time, everything changes. This business podcast conversation shares raw business advice and real business secrets most people never talk about, from workplace bias to the entrepreneur mindset required to rebuild, find motivation, and move toward financial freedom through entrepreneurship. Beth Wanner is a former VP of Marketing with more than 15 years of experience in tech and supply chain, where she built strong leadership skills, led teams, and executed high-level business strategy inside fast-growing companies. Her background spans executive coaching environments, founder stories, and startup advice at the highest levels. After navigating infertility, IVF, layoffs, and being fired at 8 months pregnant, she turned that experience into entrepreneurship and founded Mother Cover. Today, she helps companies focus on scaling a business the right way by managing parental and medical leave without disruption, supporting long-term growth across organizations in the US and Canada.
