Welcome to episode 53 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast.
This week I am excited to share conversations I had with entrepreneurs from around the world. A new episode each day from Monday December 13 to Friday December 17 will air as my guests will share their journey to entrepreneurship.
Being an entrepreneur takes tenacity, determination, motivation, and the ability to keep going even when it may seem like there are many hurdles to jump over. If you have a fire in your belly to do something that is calling to you, then listen in to hear how these entrepreneurs made their way.
On Monday, December 13, you will hear from my Nadine van Lierop from the Netherlands. Nadine is Founder of The Orange Typewriter. She is a international copywriter helping businesses to communicate successfully abroad. She is also the host of the Special Needs Supermom Podcast.
As a special needs supermom of an autistic wonder boy and super girl battling JIA and a military spouse, she decided to start her own company in 2016. This way she was in control of her own time, able to take care of her kids the way she wanted, while continuing to do what she loves most: writing.
Having a tribe of fellow special needs moms was something Nadine missed a lot. A tribe that knew how she felt, wouldn’t judge, to share info with and get advice from. This led to the birth of her second business the Special Needs Supermom Podcast. A place to empower fellow supermoms and offer a glass of wine for your mind. She launched her first digital products to empower fellow special needs moms Spring 2021.
If all of the above is not enough, Nadine also dedicates a lot of her time as a volunteer of the Dutch Juvenile Arthritis association, for which she is vice-president, focusing on research, marketing and communication.
Listen in to hear the answer to 'if you knew then, what you know now' from each one of my guests.
Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. For those with a calling for it though, these stories will serve as inspiration to take steps towards reaching their entrepreneurial goals. Hearing others talk about bringing a concept, idea, dream to fruition can provide all of us with some motivation to take one step, small or large, forward toward our goals.
On December 22, my guest will be Fred Wasiak, President & CEO of The Food Bank of South Jersey. From hearing how Fred found himself leading the team at the Food Bank of South Jersey, to hearing how he helps to keep his team connected and motivated as a front line organization. Fred shares so much more about his journey. There is one specific story that you will not want to miss listening to. It has to do with Fred and his daughter, Meg walking in graduation together for their Master Degrees. You will have to listen in to fully understand, but bring the tissues.
