Clarene Mitchell shares her struggles and successes as an entrepreneur. In 2016, she 

experienced a traumatic job loss that left her unable to find employment for nearly a 

year. She found a way to turn that challenge into an opportunity by creating her own 

work through entrepreneurship. 

Throughout their conversation, Elzie and Clarene explore how entrepreneurship can be 

used as a tool for transformation and personal growth even during challenging times. 

They also discuss how entrepreneurship can help create economic stability and 

financial freedom for individuals on their journey to success.  

If you’ve ever wanted to know more about entrepreneurship or if you’re looking for 

inspiration on how to turn a struggle into a strength, tune in to hear all about a powerful 

example of how entrepreneurship can be used to turn difficulties into triumphs. 

Episode Highlight 

03:18 - It was a chain of events that happened really that made it possible or doable. 

Again, I didn't have a job. So, I did the traditional thing that everyone is told to do. Go use 

LinkedIn, right? I had a profile for years, but I wasn't using it because it's the mindset or I 

had the mindset like people do still today that you just use it when you need a job. So, I 

started using it and using it more proactively and consistently because I was bored to 

death, and I needed to stay intellectually active. So, I was using LinkedIn in different 

ways than I had done before.
