https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeGT93vnLYo Have you ever heard of Trade St. Jam Co., if not, then get ready, because it's soon to be a food industry phenom. Ashley Rouse the chef and creator of the company catches up with John Henry on this episode, What it Takes to Launch a Company in NYC: Jammed Up. Ashley is like any novice entrepreneur who is afraid to make the next leap. She is challenged with having a great product, that could potentially change her life forever, but she'll need to make huge sacrifices, win or lose. Procrastination is what harms many of us when launching a business. Most people are not willing to throw it all in and make the sacrifices needed to launch a new venture. Quitting a job without a foreseeable future is insanity for most, but for the true entrepreneur they know they will make it, by all means necessary, therefore a job is only seen as an obstacle in the way, so quitting a job is a necessity in the true entrepreneur eyes. Trade St. Jam Co. got its start in Charlotte, NC (hence Trade St.), but moved its operation to Brooklyn, NY where it became established. The jams come in several different flavors including, Smoked Yellow Peach, Strawberry Chipotle & Fig, Chinese 5 Spiced Apple Butter, and more. The jams are available online at Amazon. Buy it here.
