Today, I got the chance to talk with Ben Conard, the founder of Five North Chocolate. I’ve always been interested in entrepreneurship, but I feel like it is a field that is very open and vague- I know what it is, but I don’t know exactly how to be one or what it entails. However, after talking to Ben, I realized that because it is so open, YOU are ultimately the one who defines and drives what is accomplished. Of course, there are many challenges and insecurities that can arise because of it, but seeing how much Ben enjoyed what he was doing and how much drive and passion he still held despite all his obstacles, I was inspired. In fact, the biggest lesson I took away from this talk is that life is too short to make excuses and to pursue what you love because we only regret the things we don’t do. Especially with entrepreneurship where you are the one calling the shots, you have to go forth with it with a strong, determined, passionate mind.
