On this episode of Eating While Broke, host Coline Witt welcomes entrepreneur —founder and CEO of Mercy Angels Hospice and creator of the My Butler Al app while cooking her struggle meal: spaghetti with butter, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.

Al opens up about becoming a teen mom, a short-lived marriage to an older man, and finishing school through summer school. She shares how she hustled through a range of jobs—including banking and stripping—before becoming a flight attendant, with crucial support from her grandmother, who helped raise her kids.

She also reflects on a guidance counselor who told her she’d “never be anything,” a comment that fueled her determination. Al later found success selling card terminals, earning six figures in her first month. After moving from Indiana to California, she bought a home health business and then a hospice, walked away from a lucrative contract after experiencing racial disrespect, and expanded to Indianapolis by launching another hospice. 

She later purchased a primary care practice, opened a med spa, and discusses the realities of entrepreneurship—cash flow, regulations, and staffing—along with joining the **Indie Bosses Reality Show** as a cast member and co-executive producer.
