Ever wondered how resilience born from hardship can be transformed into entrepreneurial success? Erica Myers, the dynamic founder of Fosterpreneur, joins us to share her inspiring mission of guiding young adults who have experienced foster care toward starting their own businesses. Erica delves deep into how her trauma-informed, holistic approach not only supports these budding entrepreneurs in their business ventures but also ensures their overall well-being. By focusing on resilience and adaptability developed through challenging life experiences, she reveals how these intrinsic qualities can be powerful assets in the entrepreneurial realm.
In our conversation, we also stress the necessity of addressing basic needs, such as housing and food security, before venturing into entrepreneurship. We explore how specialized, targeted support both in community and one-on-one settings can make a significant impact. You'll hear about our exciting drop-in series for those curious about entrepreneurship and our visionary "Hope Homes" initiative designed for aged-out foster youth, aimed at breaking cycles of poverty and fostering financial independence through entrepreneurial and workplace skills. Tune in to be moved and motivated by Erica’s unwavering dedication to transforming lives through the power of entrepreneurship.
