We are getting personal on this episode. Darrin talks to his mom about her entrepreneurial journey, her lessons learned, and watching her child (Darrin) blossom into a thriving business owner.

Beverly Bethmann's first business venture was selling sunglasses to gas stations/convenience stores. She bought a box of 100 pairs for $5 and sold them for $5 a pair(!) That colossal success led her to sell women's accessories and open a jewelry store in Alexandria Bay, NY. Not satisfied with playing it safe, she leap-frogged with a partner to sell a clothing line at Costco.

PS...Happy Birthday Mom!
