In the milestone 50th episode of The Power Lunch Podcast, hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael sit down with 22-year-old entrepreneur Sidney Baldi, owner of Yogurt Beach in Minnesota. Sidney shares what she’s learning about turning an idea into a real business, managing young employees, asking experts for help, marketing locally, and trusting her team enough to step away. It’s a candid conversation about learning as you go and realizing you don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Starting before everything is perfect gives you the opportunity to learn, adjust, and improve as you go.
  • Good business ownership includes knowing when to bring in experts, especially for accounting, legal issues, and labor laws.
  • Leading first-time teen employees requires patience, coaching, clear expectations, and strong systems.
  • Local partnerships, community visibility, and social media have helped Yogurt Beach build awareness and connection.
  • Stepping away from your business can provide perspective and remind you why you started it in the first place.

FAVORITE QUOTES

  • “You got to just start the thing.”
  • “Once you start the thing, you notice little things that can improve.”
  • “It’s better to ask someone in the field than to rely on the internet.”
  • “Take a moment and slow down, at least once a week.”
  • “The employees are what give it all the sugar.”
