Our founder Tara Bosch was thrilled to be the first guest on The BizCussion with Heli Munshi! Tune in to hear more about Tara's journey starting SmartSweets and her top advice for new entrepreneurs. 🍭 https://lnkd.in/g4aytf_Z
Episode 1 of The BizCussion is here! This week, we’re talking to a founder who turned a loan against her hatchback into a business she sold for NINE FIGURES. Tara Bosch started SmartSweets when she was 21. She went on to become a Thiel fellow, landed on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and sold her business to one of the most reputed Private Equity firms. I learned a lot from Tara - especially how important (but difficult) it is to tune out the noise and opinions of others and always follow your gut instead. Check out a sneak peek of the episode below and if it piques your interest, listen to it on Spotify here! https://lnkd.in/gFzujAsR
