Navigating regulations. Dealing with accountants, contracts, and compliance. Learning to trust people, and then dealing with what happens when that trust is broken.This episode is about the part of business no one prepares you for.Not the work, but the weight of responsibility, the emotional toll, and the constant pressure of being accountable for everything.Connect with Frida Deguise, L.A Donuts, and Frida's Pies here:- https://ladonuts.com/ - https://www.instagram.com/fridadeguise/- https://www.instagram.com/l.adonuts/- https://www.instagram.com/fridas.pies/If you found this episode valuable, make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast and follow along for the rest of this 5-part series.
