Unemployed & Afraid

Business:Entrepreneurship

“Being in business is one of the loneliest things you can do,” Marie Dowling, CEO of Newsary and EzyCom

We need real chats and honest inspo when it comes to creating and scaling your business, because there’s a lot about building a business that’s thankless and lonely - yet somehow once we get started, it’s kinda hard to stop at one.

Marie Dowling is CEO of Newsary and EzyCom and is so incredibly real about this journey, just the kind of business builder we love here on Unemployed & Afraid.

In this chat you’ll hear about:

  • Getting bitten by the business bug
  • Validating your ideas and not being afraid to iterate
  • How chance encounters can elevate your business
  • Going to market with an MVP
  • Working on two businesses with a young family
  • The lack of visibility we have on the challenges we face (and how to face them anyway)
  • Defining your story to the media and why it matters
  • And the loneliness we experience in business

Plus she has the most magical French accent that we could just listen to all day.

Check out the Newsary website at Newsary.co

Check out the EzyCom website at Ezycom.co
