This episode is a little different — it’s personal. Host Betsy Gardner brings her dog Axel along for a heartfelt solo episode reflecting on the journey of The B Student Podcast, entrepreneurship, and the values that shape us. From launching the UCF marching band with no students and no uniforms … to getting a tween swimwear brand into Harrods … to charting in Brazil and France with a podcast — Betsy shares how an entrepreneurial spirit shaped her family and her career. You’ll hear: The power of creating something from nothing How Betsy learned sales strategy from pharma and applied it to fashion Why soft skills like influence and collaboration are the true superpowers in a post-AI world And how a fluffy office companion named Axel became part of the podcast family This isn’t just a behind-the-scenes — it’s a masterclass in courage, grit, and the real work behind bold ideas.
