Host Christine Wong of the Chatting with Christine: Tech Careers & Badass Women podcast, sits down with Julie Cropp Gareleck, CEO, entrepreneur, and author of the bestselling book Dare to Become: From Corner Booth to Corner Office, to gain a new perspective on the entrepreneurship journey and how Julie went from working for her parents’ restaurant to building a successful agency.
Wong asks Julie about her early life, career path, and the pivotal steps she took to start her business. Reflecting on her experience working in her parents’ restaurant, Julie explains, “I learned really quickly what it meant to work for a family business, but also what it took to run a business.” She emphasizes how this foundation taught her “early lessons in work ethic, responsibility, and management.”
Wong and Julie delve into the topic of work-life integration. When asked how she managed to build her business while maintaining a balanced life, Julie offers advice for future entrepreneurs: “You have to give yourself permission to not be perfect” and to “give yourself grace.” And in the end, work/life balance is a great concept but not always a reality. You have to find a balance that works best for you.
