Leigh Burgess is the founder and CEO of Bold Industries Group. But before that, she was a healthcare worker for over 20 years. When 2020 hit, Leigh left healthcare and started her company. She's launched two brands within her company so far, with two more coming soon.
In this week's episode, Leigh shares why she left her stable corporate healthcare career to start her own business. She discusses how her four different brands co-exist under her company, and how she made nearly SEVEN figures in her first year of business. Make sure to stay tuned until the very end, because Leigh shares so many helpful tips for her fellow entrepreneurs.
"I didn't think I was being bold at any point. Like I'm just living my life, doing my thing. I'm not special. But what I found out when I started off is, like what I was doing was, actually people were saying things like, 'Oh, you inspired me and this was an inspiring moment.'" - Leigh Burgess
