In this episode of iDateMoney, Michelle Puccinelli joins Lisa Drennon to talk about the entrepreneurial journey most people don't show you: the mindset shifts, the money mistakes, and the systems that actually build a sustainable business. Michelle breaks down the real difference between marketing and sales, where AI belongs in your business (and where it doesn't), and how to know when it's time to bring in support instead of doing it all yourself.

If your money feels messy right now, this conversation gives you a clear next step.
