Episode Summary Hannah Rawiszer thought becoming a business owner would give her more freedom. Instead, she found herself with too many bosses, too little time, and a business that looked nothing like the one she thought she was building. Burned out and unsure what came next, Hannah scaled back her business, moved home to Florida, and considered giving up entrepreneurship altogether. Then a connection led to another connection, and eventually to a client call Hannah wasn't particularly excited to take. That client saw something in Hannah she hadn't yet recognized as a business opportunity: a natural ability to listen, uncover what was creating chaos behind the scenes, and turn everything living in someone's head into clear, repeatable processes. That one client changed the direction of Hannah's business. In this episode of DunnWise Perspectives, Hannah and I talk about burnout, the courage to pivot, why trying something and deciding it isn't right isn't failure, and the importance of creating enough space to recognize what you're truly good at. We also talk about the power of genuine connection and Hannah's commitment to celebrating and supporting the people she meets.
