In this episode of UH-OH Conversations with Cohesive Leaders, Ben-Jamin Toy and Dr. Troy Hall sit down with marketing strategist and journalist Ellie White-Stevens to talk about the costly mistakes new business owners make and how to avoid them.

With candor and humor, she walks us through the lessons learned, the power of compassionate leadership, and why building the right professional team early on saves both money and sanity.

Whether you’re a startup founder, small business owner, or simply love hearing behind-the-scenes leadership stories, this episode delivers insights you can put into practice today.
