SaaS Dads S2/E - 04 : She Was a Teen Mom on Welfare, Now She's a 2x SaaS Gold Award Winner

Episode notes

This episode hit me in ways I didn't expect. Sherist Rodriguez got pregnant at 18. Divorced with a 2 year old and a newborn by 21. No college degree. Grew up on welfare in a home full of trauma and abuse. Her kids spent their nights and weekends in a hospital doctor's lounge because she was working every hour she had just to keep them fed. She didn't know what a depression was until she was already deep in one. Years later the stress caught up and she had a full nervous breakdown. Then a traumatic head injury almost two years ago that changed how she sees everything. But she kept going. She built her first business as a single mom with zero experience, sleeping three hours a night doing client work after the kids went to bed. She launched a SaaS two years ago and hit Gold in 10 months. Then did it again. Now she's building a second SaaS with her 31 year old son, this time with the goal of creating a family legacy that outlives her. And the question she asks every entrepreneur she coaches?
