Asking for Support as an Entrepreneur—with JJ Ramberg - EP68

Many entrepreneurs struggle with knowing when to ask for help. We look to The Little Engine That Could and think-we-can through every aspect of our business—all by ourselves. But what if there’s a better way to interpret that storybook’s advice? What if we had the faith to think-we-could find support when we needed it?   JJ Ramberg is the mission-driven entrepreneur behind Goodshop, an online coupon platform, and Goodpods, a new social network for giving and receiving podcast recommendations from friends and influencers you admire. JJ spent 13 years hosting MSNBC’s Your Business and Been There, Built That, interviewing thousands of entrepreneurs and business leaders on how to grow a company.

On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, JJ joins Anjel to explain what inspired her to create Goodpods and how she made the decision to launch the platform during the pandemic.
