“When you take a big risk like starting a business, it’s awesome and it’s great and it’s scary, but it really forces you to identify some of your own flaws and insecurities and then you get to choose if you’re going to sit in that and just feel yucky about it, or what are you going to do next.” -Maggie Bender
In this inspiring episode of The Built From The Ground Up Show, Gwen sits down with Maggie Bender, a former educator who made the bold leap from a 15-year career in public and private education to launching Ohio Special Education Consulting. Together, Gwen and Maggie dive deep into the emotional and practical journey of leaving the classroom to build a mission-driven business that supports families with special needs children.
Maggie shares how expert guidance from business consultants, attorneys, and CPAs helped her create a strong foundation for her new venture. She opens up about the identity shift that comes with entrepreneurship, the value of community support, and how hiring a business consultant led to unexpected personal growth.
Throughout the conversation, Gwen and Maggie explore the emotional challenges of starting a business, the importance of setting boundaries, and what it means to build something that serves both your heart and your livelihood. Maggie’s reflections on her first six months in business offer encouragement and insight for any woman entrepreneur navigating the messy middle of purpose-led growth.
This episode is a powerful listen for educators, aspiring founders, and anyone building a business to make a meaningful impact—especially in the special needs community. Grab your headphones because you’re not going to want to miss this episode!
