Meet the “Shark Tank” guest judge who built two successful restaurant chains

In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Candace Nelson, an entrepreneur, investor, author, and media personality best known for founding Sprinkles Cupcakes. Candace is keynoting NRN’s CREATE Event for Emerging Restaurateurs this October 9, where Sam will interview her on the CREATE stage about her life as an entrepreneur and restaurateur. In this podcast, you’ll get just a small taste of that interview as they explore her journey from the finance world to cupcakes to pizza.

In this conversation, you’ll find out why:

• You capture guests’ attention by flying in the face of expectation 
• The life of an entrepreneur shows leaders what they’re made of
• You don’t have to fly a rocket to the moon to be a successful entrepreneur
• You should secure proof of concept before you raise capital to grow
• There’s plenty more to learn from Candace at CREATE this October!
