It’s wild out there and the struggle is real. Entrepreneurship is no joke, everyday is a new challenge, a new up, a new down, it never stops. The action, the drama, the energy is addictive and it’s why so many never want to retire from entrepreneurship. We’ve asked some very talented entrepreneurs to share some of those crazy stories with us.

Leah Collins

In 2019 the love of my life proposed to me in Aruba. I was in pure premarital bliss. Shortly thereafter the wedding planning began and we moved in together. They say that you never truly know a person until you move in with them and that was definitely our case. Things quickly took a turn for the worse. Important financial discussions that should have been held prior to engagement turned from conversation to conflict. Read more>>

By far, the craziest story I have to offer regarding business here at Savorite is our feature on HBO’s hard knocks Dallas Cowboys, this season. Talk about a surreal experience, that almost didn’t happen lol. Not to sound arrogant or cocky, but during a now 4 year stint in Plano we’ve fed our fair share of celebrities/athletes/entertainers. All have been organic, no paid appearances. That’s truly the thing I love about how this appearance on HBO came to light. Unbeknownst to me, JaQuan Hardy, Read more>>

Molly Beane

On Aug 3, 2018, I woke up excited for an important meeting I had that day to raise a $1M seed round for my clean skincare business, From Molly With Love. Later that day, I woke up a second time — in a CT-scan machine in the ICU, not knowing where I was or how I got there. As I was preparing for that meeting, I slipped and fell down a flight of stairs. I cracked my skull on the hard tile floor, suffering a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Read more>>

One of the craziest things that has happened to my business and many others is the affect of COVID-19. I knew things were bad when schools, restaurants, and other businesses begin to close. Like any normal person, I was scared. I didn’t know how things were going to in the months ahead. I knew I couldn’t just sit around and not do anything. Immediately, I begin crying and praying my heart out asking God “What now” because my mind was all over the place. Read more>>

As many of us can understand the last couple of years have taken an interesting turn and impacted not only ourselves but our businesses. With the spread of COVID, I found myself having to take a step back. Yet, during what seemed to be a roller coaster experience an unexpected email appeared in my inbox I will never forget. The city of Las Vegas reached out to collaborate together. It was “crazy” to say the least that during such a tough time one of the best opportunities would occur. Read more>>

One of the craziest things I think so far is how we stumbled upon some of our closest friends. At the time Savoring Colorado had just really gained momentum and we use to do LOTS of Q&As when we were based in Fort Collins. Dan and I had really gotten into a local coffee company and were buying their coffee weekly so I knew we just had to get them to agree to a Q&A. Naturally, I didn’t want to scare them off and contacted them for a Q&A when they suggested an afternoon of cupping. Read more>>

In this business, there are a lot of crazy stories, so I’ll share my most recent crazy story. I got a call from a couple looking to buy a house and explained to them that I typically like to have a buyer consultation to go through the process and discuss their wants and needs. I was headed out of town for a couple days the next day so I offered to meet with them on the following Monday. There was pause on their end followed by them saying that their lease was actually expiring in 6 weeks. Read more>>

Janey DeMeo

One of the craziest things that happened to me—although there have been many more—was when a monkey bit me in India. My husband and I had taken a small team from France to India to visit our Orphans First children’s homes. As a special outing, we bused the children to a small nearby zoo where I had become friendly with a monkey the day before. He seemed to trust me and had been happy for me to hold him. But with fifty excited children with us, jumping and squealing with excitement, things changed. I picked up my little furry friend and suddenly the little rascal nipped me. Read more>>

We got a call from a client to help them prepare for their move out of state and get the home ready for the market. After working with them for a little under a month with great success, laughs, and appreciation on both ends, they were on their way and the home quickly sold. Two months later we got a call from clients wanting help unpacking and creating sustainable systems (think, everything has a home). We show up to do the job and realized it was the same address and after asking, we found our that they hadn’t spoken to one another about us. I’ve known all along the potential for our services is unlimited but to have the experience that each home has double opportunities for us to be of service was awesome. Read more>>
