Do the Work with D’Shawn Russell
Description
On this episode of Chapter Next Podcast, Talethea introduces D’Shawn Russell. D’Shawn is the owner of Southern Elegance Candle Co. Before starting her entrepreneurship journey, she was a teacher and administrator, and she has been doing that for 22 years. When she quit her job, at the age of 45, she did not know anything about business. She learned watching YouTube videos and studying successful people’s lives. She also graduated from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 small business program. Her message for people who are a little bit older and wondering what to do with their life is: You should take the risk.
