Heather Saffer experienced what many other entrepreneurs go through early in life — she couldn’t find a job she wanted to stay with. So she took a different route and started her own business, Dollop Gourmet.
The ambitious business woman took a leap of faith and competed on Food Network’s “Cupcake Wars,” which she won and scored a book deal. Next up? Taking a swim on “Shark Tank.”
In the latest episode of the “Winning on Main Street” podcast, Heather discusses what it’s like to be on “Shark Tank” and secure an investment from Barbara Corcoran. Heather will also be speaking at Thryv’s Connect20 virtual summit on Nov. 10-11. Learn more here.
