Show Notes
This week, we're revisiting one of our most-loved episodes: Carrie's story. When we filmed this back in 2023, Carrie was running her whitening business under a franchise name before breaking away and thriving under her own brand, Beach Bum Teeth Whitening in South Carolina.
Since then, Carrie has stepped away from whitening, but this conversation still stands as an inspiring snapshot of entrepreneurship, resilience, and lessons learned in the trenches. Whether you're just starting out, thriving, or questioning if entrepreneurship is really for you—this episode is packed with wisdom you can apply today.
