Podcast Episode 78: Crash & Learn with Carrie McQuaid

Crash & Learns are where I interview an entrepreneur about a time that they probably don’t want to talk about – a total business failure.

This week, I’m talking to Carrie McQuaid, creator of the Kindness Box, founder of The Creative Hub Conference, and all around amazing human being.

She took a side-hustle business crafting items in her classroom and evolved it into conferences, digital products and subscription boxes.

Talk about an amazing journey!
