In this episode of Amir’s Anecdotes, Amir sits down with Cathy Nesbitt, known as the “laughing bean queen,” to talk about how she started her worm composting business in 2002 after Canada’s landfill closure led to garbage export to Michigan. Initially, she faced financial struggles, relying on a $50,000 line of credit and earning minimal income. Despite challenges, she persisted, leveraging media exposure and networking. Cathy’s business grew, but she admits she could have sought grants and loans. In 2012, she added laughter yoga to her offerings, emphasizing its mental health benefits. Cathy’s advice to entrepreneurs: embrace networking, ask for help, and believe in your vision.
