Episode 32. Mental Challenges & Triumphs in Entrepreneurship: How Rebekah Murray Built Dare & Co.

Episode 32 of We Built This Life with Rebekah Murray from Dare & Co. is about mental challenges in entrepreneurship—and the rewards that come with getting through them.

In 2014, Rebekah Murray, an entrepreneur throughout her adult life, was looking to transition from international wedding photography to something new. Her parents suggested she start a clothing line.

Three years later, Rebekah launched Virginia Dare Dress Co. with a line of timeless, high-quality women’s dresses. In 2020, she added heartfelt gift boxes to her offerings. And today (May 18th, 2023), she unveiled her new brand name: Dare & Co.

On this episode, Rebekah talks about:

The various outlets she used to launch her company, from a Kickstarter to a Facebook focus group;

An unexpected outcome in her business due to customer interest;

How she has dealt with challenging life seasons while still being an entrepreneur who needs to keep her business going;

What success as an entrepreneur looks like to her;

Her best advice for other small business owners (I think anyone launching something in public will identify with this); and more.
