🍓 TFS® Infuses Ferocity in Entrepreneurs: https://bit.ly/46skFoc 🍓

Sometimes, entrepreneurial spirit shows up long before a business idea.

For Darlene Jenkins Walls of the Chester County Economic Development Council, it started as a little girl selling crickets to trout fishermen. 🎣

Early curiosity and drive only grew stronger over time, and Darlene developed the kind of ferocity that helps trailblazing entrepreneurs thrive. 💪

It's a quality Carly, CEO & Founder of TFS®, knows well. She and Darlene share that same passion for entrepreneurship and helping people see what they're capable of building. 💗

In the latest episode of our Spill the Berries Podcast, Carly and Darlene talk about where that entrepreneurial fire 🔥 comes from, how it evolves throughout our lives, and why some of those earliest instincts can tell us more about ourselves than we realize.

Today, Darlene is a dream maker, relentlessly empowering entrepreneurs to bring their visions to life.

This conversation might even take you back to your own beginning. What lit you up before the world told you who you were supposed to be? And where did your own entrepreneurial ferocity begin?

🎧 Check out the full episode, "Crickets, Curiosity, and Capital," on our Spill the Berries Podcast: https://bit.ly/4yEKYn3 And stay tuned for more!
