Tales of Misadventure with Nicole Donnelly
Behind every successful entrepreneur is a trail of mistakes, mishaps and regrets. This podcast is for any aspiring or current entrepreneur or leader who struggles with the idea that you have to get it right every single time in order to be successful. Who feel that they need to be perfect in order to make it. Our guests candidly share their stories of failure. And what they did in those pivotal moments of failure to step up and turn their lemons into lemonade. We learn how business owners are marketing themselves and learn what marketing strategies have worked and those that haven't. Come and listen in! Hosted by Nicole Donnelly, Founder of DMG Digital.
