In this episode, I talk with entrepreneur and business advisor Amanda Bedell about her journey of losing her father at a young age, building a bakery, and reconnecting with her purpose after selling her business.
Amanda invested over 15 years in the marketing and public relations fields serving multi-million dollar nonprofits and corporations in the entertainment industry. In between, she launched and subsequently sold a very successful gluten-free bakery.
What I appreciate about Amanda is her infectious energy. I always feel like I can take on the world after our conversations and I am excited to introduce you to her.
