Entrepreneurship Isn’t for Everyone—But It Was Always for Jerry Freshitat

At just 23 years old, Jerry Freshitat started his first business selling window treatments out of the trunk of his car. With nothing but hustle, weekend installs, and Yellow Pages ads, he turned a side hustle into a thriving business—and learned early what it means to be all in.

  • How to know if you’re truly built for entrepreneurship
  • The grind it takes to grow something from the ground up
