Summary
You don’t need to have it all figured out to get started OR make an impact—all you need is a vision you believe in. Today’s guest is the dynamic duo behind Girls Mentorship, Jill Petersen and Mary Frances! They share their journey in entrepreneurship, including their early days of doing it messy, and the incremental growth that took them from hosting half-day camps to becoming the premier summer camp for teen & tween girls.

We also uncover how to navigate friendships/partnerships in business (who and what to invest in), where to find your people to bring your most ambitious dreams to life (plugging into the right energy is key), and their tips for building resilience and confidence for real results.
