Summary

Taking a side gig to a full-time job is a big — and daring — jump. This episode, Sean and small-business Nerd Rosalie Murphy kick off the new Nerdy Business series, where they interview business owners about how they got to where they are today and the lessons they have for other entrepreneurs. Sean and Rosalie talk with Theresa E. Gonzales, owner of 5-E Leadership and Marketing and host of the podcast “Latinas From the Block to the Boardroom.” She discusses how she identified a target market and leveraged her expertise to grow her consulting work into a full-time business.
