Get to Know Me: My Journey to Entrepreneurship as Interviewed by Jackie Serviss

Jackie Serviss, host of the "Jackie Serviss Show" is interviewing me about my entrepreneurial journey. I believe in the power of following your passion and having a solid skill set to support it. My HR background has shaped my approach to business and I'm sharing the top lessons I've learned.

I faced fears of failure and success but pushed through and succeeded. My advice for those looking to build their brand is to take over a small share of the market, learn as much as possible, and hire an expert when needed.

I want to inspire you to pursue your entrepreneurial dreams and not let fear hold you back. Embrace the journey and believe in yourself. The world is waiting for you to do the damn thing!

Jackie Koch

Hey, I’m Jackie Koch. I have over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups and small businesses in all types of industries.  Technically, I have an MBA from Concordia University, although I’d argue I learned more about growing and scaling a modern business over the last 5 years in the LA tech start up scene. There I built out recruiting and People Operations teams for high growth tech start ups. I love entrepreneurs and being one at heart, I started my own business during the pandemic. I’m the founder and CEO of People Principles where I help founders scale through fractional recruiting and people operations services.
