Speaking to the Bedford Independent, Jodie said: “The entrepreneurial journey is full of highs and lows, often leading to exhaustion and burnout. That’s why our event on Thursday is designed to help entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs manage and prevent burnout with practical, easy-to-implement techniques.
“I understand firsthand the challenges of the entrepreneurial journey. Having run my own businesses, coached entrepreneurs, and spent most of my career in entrepreneurial education, I know how tough it can be.
“If I can do anything to make that journey a little easier, I will.”
