Episode 1: What they don’t tell you!

☕ COFFEE & CONNECTIONS | EPISODE 1 What They DON’T Tell You About Being an Entrepreneur Welcome to Coffee & Connections, where real business owners have real conversations about entrepreneurship, building businesses, and everything that happens behind the scenes. Hosted by the owners of Retail Therapy AZ and Black Sheep Coffee, Erica, Gerardo, and Lynnette Fredericks, this podcast brings together different perspectives, real experiences, and honest conversations about what it actually takes to own and operate a business. In our very first episode, we’re diving into what nobody tells you about being an entrepreneur. The sacrifices, the financial pressures, the unexpected challenges, the lessons learned, and the reality behind building something from the ground up. No sugarcoating. No perfect success stories. Just real business owners sharing the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Whether you’re dreaming of starting a business, already running one, or simply love hearing the stories behind local businesses, there’s a seat at the table for you. ☕ Grab your coffee, join the conversation, and let’s connect! ✨ Subscribe for new episodes, honest conversations, business insights, and a behind-the-scenes look at entrepreneurship.
