A Little-known Path To Success. Democratizing Access To Entrepreneurship Resources with Claudia Scott

  • Summary

  • Is it possible to make money doing what you are best at and what gives you joy? Yes. Can anyone become an entrepreneur? Yes. Does everyone begin the entrepreneurship race at the same starting line? Absolutely not.


    Helping others turn their hobbies into profitable businesses isn't about sharing empty "you can do it" encouraging BS; it is about democratizing access to capital, resources, and knowledge.


    In this episode, I'm thrilled to chat with Claudia Scott about what no one tells you about entrepreneurship. Claudia is the Capital Access Manager at Startup Junkie, assisting entrepreneurs with the Kiva microloan program processes. Born and raised in Costa Rica, Claudia came to the US chasing her dreams of getting into banking, but she found out rather quickly that wasn't her calling. Taking some time for introspection, she discovered the intersection between what she was good at, and what she was passionate about, helping people in non-profit settings.


    Throughout this episode, you'll hear the truth about entrepreneurship no one tells you, Claudia's impressive work at Startup Junkie, and her passion for helping transform people with dreams into successful entrepreneurs. Claudia also talks about underrepresented entrepreneurs, success stories from people who changed their lives thanks to Startup Junkie, the impact of community and mentorship in entrepreneurship success, and much more.


    Tune in to Episode 174 of the Joy Found Here and allow yourself to explore a fresh perspective on entrepreneurship that might change how you see your passions, hobbies, and profit opportunities.
