171: "You can take any idea, passion, hobby, or expertise, and build a PCS-proof business." Toria Demps' story from hair loss to helping others
Do you think online businesses provide an adequate solution to the unique challenges faced by individuals who have to relocate often? For the Founder of Demps Media Group, LLC., Toria Demps, that answer is a definite yes.
Jen Amos speaks with Toria Demps to hear her experiences from working for the federal government to starting her own business. She shares how she created a location-independent business making customized wigs, often for cancer patients, after experiencing hair loss herself. Her portable business has enabled her to continue working despite frequent relocations due to her husband's military service. As a 2023 Service2CEO graduate of The Rosie Network, she shares how she started a new business aimed at assisting other military spouses in creating portable businesses. Additionally, Toria is the author of the book, The HomeFront Hustle, is a Navy Veteran and a military spouse of 20+ years. Listen to Toria's story of adaptability, resilience, and the power of entrepreneurship.
