Show Notes

In this segment of "Your New Business Journey" on Passage to Profit Show, our panel of entrepreneurs dives into one of the biggest questions facing anyone starting a business today: What’s the hardest part—getting noticed, getting funded, or getting taken seriously? With two in five Americans considering entrepreneurship, our guests share raw, real-world stories about breaking through the noise, winning over skeptics, navigating bootstrapped beginnings, and finding visibility in crowded industries. From battling naysayers to overcoming local roadblocks to building credibility in competitive markets, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to get a new business off the ground.

Richard Gearhart and Elizabeth Gearhart, co-hosts of Passage to Profit Show have this discussion with media strategist Jess Todtfeld from Media Ambassadors, Micki Vandeloo from Lakeview Consulting and Kenny Kelley from Silent Beacon.
