5. Jeannie Culberston | From Truck Driver to Six Figures: Single Mom of Six
Description
The episode features a conversation with Jeannie Culbertson, a single mother of 6 children who owns two businesses - an editing business and an insurance agency. Jeannie shares her journey into motherhood, including having her first child unexpectedly while planning to join the Air Force, and raising a son with a congenital heart defect. She discusses how martial arts and church helped provide discipline and community for her large family. Jeannie also talks about transitioning from truck driving to building successful editing and insurance businesses that allow her the flexibility to be present for her children. The conversation explores how Jeannie's experience as a mother has prepared her for the challenges of entrepreneurship and leadership.
"I fortunately have only had one or two people get angry with me, but having dealt with children and learning that it's not about you, you're the one who's in charge. So you learn to take control of a situation. You have the confidence to handle the situation."
