Growing Pains: The Unheard Stories of Lakeland's Business Owners

About Growing Pains: The Unheard Stories of Lakeland's Business Owners

You learn many lessons down the road of entrepreneurship, but those challenging and unglamorous moments when we get knocked down are what ultimately define us. Each episode we sit down with an amazing Lakeland, FL business owner to discuss the struggles & sacrifices that they have made along the way to their success that we either didn’t know about or often go unshared. We hope that diving into these vulnerable stories that our community leaders have experienced not only helps you relate to them even more, but that they also inspire and motivate you to follow your calling!
