Episode 01: Sheng Herr | Business Strategist & Personal Finance Expert

Sheng Herr, business strategist, personal finance expert, wife, & mom of two.

For our very first Women We Love Wednesday Podcast I got to speak with Sheng Herr. She is a local female entrepreneur who helps minority business owners start and grow their online businesses. She started her own photography business and became debt free. She realized that many of the hurdles she had to overcome were similar for other female business owners and she knew that she could help.

One of the reasons I started this podcast was so that there could be a platform to share stories from different backgrounds than our own. A huge part of ignorance is a lack of exposure. Sheng is part of the Hmong community, grew up in an immigrant household, and was one of seven siblings. She is a mom of two and she spoke about how she was raised and what parts of her culture she hopes to pass on to her boys.

Sheng also talks about the different challenges that minority business owners face and how that can hinder their success in entrepreneurship. Learning about what others are going through can help us to become better allies.

This interview is full of tons of great advice and is truly inspiring for any entrepreneur.
