They also discussed topics such as balancing the long-term vision and execution as entrepreneurs, strategies on pricing, and their entrepreneurial journey and stories. Being an entrepreneur is not an easy task, however. Chiara revealed the lowest point on her entrepreneurial journey and how she still held firmly to what she initially believed through the hardest times. Let’s tune in and check it out!
