“I say that every day, I have no idea what I'm doing, I think that that's the key word or phrase for entrepreneurs.” - Alyza Brevard-Rodriguez

Alyza Brevard-Rodriguez got her start in the entrepreneurial world at a young age. She started selling candy bars in her neighborhood and to peers at school, and even had a paper route, all before she even made it to high school. 

Unfortunately, Alyza didn’t have anyone in her family who could mentor her in how to build her own business, so she jumped right in on her own. She learned everything as she went and did it all on her own. 

In 2015 Alyza and her wife started a fitness apparel clothing line, which then became a brick and mortar store. While they were getting everything up and running, Alyza had to do a lot of internal work and commit to personal growth. 

Not only was she deployed while they were just getting started, she also had to deal with Covid. Needless to say, she had a lot of external barriers to work through while trying to learn and grow with her wife.

Even though she and her wife had to overcome so many hurdles, their business is still going strong. They now have two locations and are now turning the store into a franchise. Listen in to hear all of her thoughts about the struggles of starting a business, and what bravery looks like to her.
