Risk Like a Mother: When to Take Risks and When to Avoid Them with Business Attorney Gentry Schaab

Business Like a Mother

Welcome back to Business Like a Mother! I’m your host, Jen Morris, and in today’s episode, we’re diving into the topic of risk—not just avoiding it, but how to take risks like a mother. And who better to discuss this with than attorney Gentry Schaab?

In this conversation, we explore two important sides of risk:
✅ The risks you take when starting and growing your business
✅ The legal risks you shouldn’t ignore

Gentry shares her journey from corporate law to building her own practice while navigating motherhood—she’s currently expecting baby number three! We also chat about why we “practice” law and medicine, but never “practice” business—and maybe we should.

We then get real about balancing entrepreneurship with kids and life, without the pressure of trying to do it all perfectly. Gentry opens up about making tough decisions, knowing when to push forward, and when to lean out.

Finally, we shift into the essential legal must-knows for business owners. Let’s face it—most of us avoid legal stuff until it’s too late. Gentry breaks down the key things every business owner must have in place to protect themselves and their businesses.
What to Expect:

• Taking risks in business & knowing when to leap
  
• Juggling entrepreneurship & motherhood without losing your mind
  
• Why we should all embrace “practicing business”
  
• The legal essentials every business owner should know
