## Resource

In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I talk with Tina White to talk about what entrepreneurship really looks like. We discuss how owning a business means longer hours, more responsibility, and learning not to take rejection personally. Tina shares how a conversation with her insurance agent led her into the industry and why she also makes time for singing, fitness, and other passions. We talk about building relationships, staying active, and choosing purpose over comfort. She explains why independent insurance agents still matter in a world where people buy coverage online without understanding what they are getting. We also cover the importance of time management, measuring the return on marketing, and staying disciplined with money. Tina believes business owners must accept stress, keep moving forward, and never lose hope. It is a conversation about resilience, serving people, and sticking with the work even when it gets hard.
