Welcome to the TrepTECH podcast hosted by the business branding bombshell Airial Re’nal with her co-host and humble production servant Scott Doucet. You may recognize Airial from The Veteran Woman podcast, but you haven’t seen her like this! Along with Scott our hostess gives her listeners insights, tips, and tricks along with real-life lessons along the journey of entrepreneurship. She is an inspiring coach and business owner. You won’t want to miss one second of one episode. Like the introduction says, you’ll want to marry her brain.
In this episode, Airial and Scott talk about the ground zero for Airial starting her journey and businesses. She touches on the fact that she has always been in business in many different forms either brick and mortar or online. Airial talks about her rough transition from army civilian life. Once she left the military while working in a direct sales company she hired a coach. She goes on to explain that the experience was bewilderingly honest and impressive. It was everything she needed at that moment and lit her up. That person made her realize that coaching and helping others is exactly what she has been called to do.
Scott discusses the transition period from the military that he experienced within his family and Airial expands on her experience.
