Episode 61: The Realities of Running a Small Business with Nicole Chenault
Do you want to monetize what you are passionate about? In this internet age, it’s possible to create a thriving business without any business premises or a team of employees.
In this episode, I am so excited to be joined by Nicole Chenault, founder of Fbombs & Booze. Nicole quit her job after 17 years to start a business that adds unique messages, for different occasions, on drinkware. She’ll share with us her experience running a business that’s heavily reliant on customers acquired online.
Throughout this episode, Nicole and I have an amazing conversation about what motivated her to start the business, Fbombs & Booze, and the role her support systems played in the initial stages.

Additionally, you’ll hear about some of her aspirations and what she is doing to make them come true.
