Starting Over at 39: From Entrepreneur to High School Teacher

Welcome to Mrs. Jacobs Classroom: Class Is in Session!After more than a decade of entrepreneurship, building a six-figure business with my husband, landing on QVC and the Today show multiple times, and learning some very expensive business lessons, I somehow ended up exactly where I belong: teaching business to high school students.But I’m still building.In this first episode of Mrs. Jacobs Classroom, I’m sharing why I finally stopped overthinking and pressed record, what you can expect from this podcast, and why I believe starting imperfectly is still starting.Around here, we’ll talk entrepreneurship, education, ADHD, AI and the future of work, marriage, motherhood, rebuilding after disappointment, and what it really looks like to keep pursuing big ideas while living a very full life.I’m also building something new—a patent-pending product that my husband and I are developing from the ground up—and I’ll be taking you behind the scenes as we figure it out in real time.Your assignment: Take one step toward the thing you keep saying you want to start.Class dismissed. 🎓Follow Mrs. Jacobs Classroom for honest weekly stories about building businesses, rebuilding after disappointment, and becoming who you’re meant to be next.
