Summary
In this episode of Van Talk, we’re diving into Stormie’s early hustle years. From first jobs and difficult bosses to working two jobs at once while going to school, we talk about what those years really looked like behind the scenes. There wasn’t much of a support system, just determination, resilience, and MarkLynch by her side.We also talk about getting taken advantage of, learning hard lessons in business, starting a company from the ground up, and eventually selling it.And somehow mixed into all of it? A streak of unbelievable luck. Free trips won left and right, jackpots at slot machines, and moments that still feel impossible to explain.
