Advice Line with Tope Awotona of Calendly
Today’s callers: Dominic in London faces challenges with profitability and scaling for his foldable bike helmet. Then, Ivana in Vancouver wonders how to maintain the momentum of her pet gear brand as she prepares for the arrival of her first child. Danny in South Carolina wants to expand her nail salon concept without making major trade-offs in her family life. And Justin in Boston grapples with prioritizing the many channels in which he sells his customized footwear.
Plus, Tope discusses Calendly’s new AI-powered scheduling assistant and how advances in technology are making it easier than ever to get new software applications off the ground.
