Graduated Entrepreneur

We interviewed four hospitality professionals from across the country to share best practices on how to weather the storm of the Covid-19 pandemic. We set out to have a conversation about what to do and it transitioned into an authentic, vulnerable and productive dialogue. We hope you get value out of it.

The second episode of our first season keeps the focus on family. More specifically we dig into the lessons passed between generations of entrepreneurs. Bill and Diana Himmelstein own Tenant Advisory Group, a Chicago based commercial real estate brokerage. In addition to highlighting Diana's journey from brain surgeon to broker, we also discuss how entrepreneurship impacts the entire family. From Bill's experience as a business owner's son to how they are raising their own sons to be entrepreneurs and everything in-between, we dive deep into inner workings of generational business ownership.

We open the first season by diving into the dynamic of owning a business with your spouse. Erryn and Mariah Cobb tell their story of how they ended up working together in their respective businesses. Mariah shares how she transitioned from teaching to opening her coworking space, homiey, as well as the challenges and benefits of having a dual entrepreneur family.
