That's right! He was hiding every part of himself in every situation, showing up in personal, social, and business trying to be the person he believed others expected of him.

In this episode of The Hidden Entrepreneur Show , Josh Cary sits down with Doreen Sayegh, owner of the historic Cranford Theater in Cranford, New Jersey. As the theater celebrates its 100th anniversary, Doreen shares how she transformed it from a place that simply shows movies into a thriving community destination. After taking sole ownership in 2019, Doreen invested heavily in renovating the theater. Just four months after reopening, COVID forced it to close.
