Business is Fcking Hard
Shawna Miller
Shawna Miller’s entrepreneurial journey is one of unexpected turns, resilience, and growth. Starting in finance and accounting, Shawna never envisioned running a business until a chance encounter led her and her husband to own multiple Subway franchises. Throughout the episode, Shawna dives into the realities of running a family business, scaling from a few stores to over 20 at one point, and learning valuable lessons along the way. She opens up about the challenges of managing operations across multiple locations, the importance of financial literacy, and why small and medium-sized businesses are the backbone of the economy but often lack necessary resources. Shawna’s story is a powerful testament to the importance of adaptability, a solid support system, and being honest about the challenges of entrepreneurship, especially in tough times.
