We are back with our first “Is It Worth It, Charlie?” episode of 2024, with Karen Hetz. Karen is the Chief Happiness Officer of Kids’ Cake Boxes and she joins Charlie to discuss how she can decide what’s next for her business on the heels of her business’ third anniversary. Tune in to hear more about…

➡️ What questions we can ask ourselves to orient how we move forward

➡️ Why looking back at our original “why” can inform our future

➡️ How we can rethink what it means to be successful in business and why pivoting and “failure” isn’t an inherently negative thing!

We’d love to hear what resonated most with you from this episode, wizes!
