This week, Liz is joined by founder and CEO of Baked By Melissa, Melissa Ben-Ishay to discuss how getting fired from her job as a media planner encouraged her to build one of the largest cupcake emporiums in the nation.

Melissa describes how her family guided her to enter a line of work that she is truly passionate about, passionate enough to start her business in a tiny NYC apartment and explains the value of working with a close-knit team, gaining confidence, and juggling work with motherhood.
