What happens when you stop waiting to feel ready and just start?
In this episode, Betsy sits down with Abbey Cummins, founder and CEO of Everything Cincy, to talk about what it actually takes to build a business from the ground up—from launching during the pandemic and navigating the unexpected loss of her father to growing a team, learning to let go of control, and turning Everything Cincy into a platform built around community and connection.
Abbey gets candid about the parts of entrepreneurship we don’t talk about enough: protecting your energy, separating your identity from your business, knowing when persistence becomes a sign to pivot, saying no to opportunities that don’t align, and realizing that not all money is the right money.
They also unpack why collaboration beats competition, why you can't build something meaningful entirely on your own, and why confidence usually comes after you take the leap—not before. Because sometimes writing your own story means doing it scared, figuring it out as you go, and trusting yourself enough to take the first step.
If you’ve been sitting on an idea, doubting whether you’re ready, or wondering whether to keep going or change direction, this episode is your reminder: you don’t need a perfect plan. You just need to start.
