In this episode of the Why Not Today? podcast, host Leslie Kane sits down with entrepreneur and community advocate Janet Counts for a real conversation about courage, connection, and rebuilding from chaos. Janet shares her personal journey from the IT world to small business ownership, navigating the ups and downs of running a family business, and rediscovering her passion for helping women in trades and local business.
Together, Leslie and Janet talk about what it really takes to show up when things fall apart, the power of community over competition, and why sometimes courage means saying no, pivoting, or starting over.
Highlights:
– Janet’s story of leaving corporate life and diving into entrepreneurship
– How to “fight fear with failure” and use setbacks as stepping stones
– The importance of progress over perfection in business and life
– Why local community matters more than social media followers
– Building authentic relationships instead of transactional networking
