Kari shares about how both starting a business and getting to the next level sometimes means going all in. Listen along to hear how Kari sold her photography equipment to fund Melt’s first location and her husband, Mark, left his corporate job to help Melt grow, both scary, but rewarding decisions. Don’t miss the correlation Kari shares between entrepreneurship and ultrarunning.
