Being unapologetically yourself with Jake Karls of Mid-Day Squares

You've had an epic fail in your business. What's your first instinct? For most of us, it's to hide. And to make sure that no one finds out. But today's guest, Jake Karls, says what you should be doing is actually the opposite. Jake is a co-founder of the $17 million dollar chocolate bar company, Mid-Day Squares. And not only does he believe in building in public, he's a real-life example of how doing so can lead to far greater success. Here's what we talk about: - How Mid-Day Squares went from hand production in a condo to a $17 million business (and how it wasn't an overnight success) - Why investors didn't believe in them (but eventually changed their tune) - Why real success comes not from skill but from enduring and staying in the game - How to find the courage to be vulnerable and show your true self online - How vulnerability can help you build better relationships - Why you shouldn't worry that people will judge you for showing your flaws Connect with Jake: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jake-karls-653106ba/ https://www.instagram.com/jakekarls_/ Follow / Buy Mid-Day Squares: https://www.instagram.com/middaysquares/ https://www.middaysquares.com/ Connect with Nicole: https://www.instagram.com/itsnicolehaney/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/msnicolehaney/ https://www.nicolehaney.com/
