[video available on spotify] i rarely discuss the business side of my life. and i think that's for two reasons: number one, i fear it's boring, and number two, I feel like it doesn't align with how people see me. but today i'm finally going to let the business-minded side of myself speak. a few years ago i started my coffee company, chamberlain coffee. i had this rare opportunity to start a business with little to no experience because my career on the internet gave me the resources to reach out to people who knew how to make a business vision come to life. and throughout this experience, i've not only learned a lot, but have also grown an appreciation for the process itself. so today i'm going to list 10 of the challenges that i've faced running a business, and talk about what those 10 challenges taught me.

  • I rarely discuss the business side of my life, and I think that's for two reasons.

  • Number one, because I fear it's boring.

  • Number two, because I feel like it doesn't align with how people see me.

  • People don't look at me and think, now that's a businesswoman.

  • People look at me and think, that's a silly, goofy girl.

  • And understandably so.

  • Okay, listen.

  • When I think of the stereotypical business person, I don't think of someone who burps on camera and farts on camera and is so silly.

  • I don't think of that either.

  • So whatever.

  • I get it.

  • But they're definitely is a business minded section of my brain.

  • I do feel a little uncomfortable that it exists because I've always felt uncomfortable by my various contradicting personality traits, but undeniably it's there.

  • Well, let me split off on a little tangent here.

  • It does make me uncomfortable that I have contradicting personality traits.

  • And I know that that's not healthy because we're all very complex as human beings and no one perfectly fits into a stereotype, okay?

  • We're all so different.

  • You know, I'm really into fashion and music and art, but I'm also kind of a gym rat who occasionally drinks protein powder after I lift weights.

  • You know what I'm saying?

  • Like, stereotypically, those two things, they don't go together.
