152: Birthing a Business during the Pandemic | Amy Stone

Launching a business during a global shutdown isn’t for the faint of heart, but step-parent coach Amy Stone did exactly that. In this conversation, Amy and Kandas dig into what it really looked like to pivot careers, choose a niche, and build a coaching practice while the world was upside down. They talk about family dynamics, blended-family stressors, pandemic-era divorces, the awkward art of asking for the sale, and how virtual networking unexpectedly reshaped both their businesses. It’s a refreshingly honest look at reinvention and resilience.
