Dr. Drew Pinsky and serial investor Kim Perell help a small business owner cope with the stress of a fire that almost destroyed her company.
She shared her story on an emotional episode of Entrepreneur Therapy hosted by Dr. Drew and Kim Perrel.
Hoover explained that the fire didn't just destroy all her products; it tested the very technology she built the company around.
After the fire, her employees worked for free and took on side jobs to keep the business afloat.
Dr. Drew spotted this and encouraged her to stop pushing through the pain without acknowledging it.
