Building A Business That’s Made To Last with Jessica Majno

“You have to have a lot of confidence to be an entrepreneur. I will say I'm a generally confident person, but it is also a truly humbling experience in some respects. You are constantly being pushed to learn different things every day, which is what I love about it.” Jessica is a self-proclaimed human systems nerd who channeled her love of identifying and solving problems through a decade's worth of career experience in building international economic systems as a consultant. So when she saw an opportunity to shape the Billion dollar home-improvement market with innovative strategies that center the needs of the consumer, she couldn't resist making the transition to entrepreneurship. In today’s episode, we sit down with Jessica Majno, founder and CEO of Idyllo, a modern home-improvement marketplace that connects local contractors in the Birmingham, AL area with customers looking to complete specialized projects within their homes.
