Entrepreneurship isn’t easy and it definitely doesn’t bear fruit quickly. On this episode of Put That Coffee Down, Kevin HIll and co-host Richie Daigle explain why it is so hard to get a new business off the ground. 

They welcome Shay Dixon, co-founder and CEO of Allegiant Logistics, to discuss what it is like to start a brokerage from scratch. 

Dixon explains her reasoning behind founding Allegiant and some of the struggles she has encountered along her journey. She also talks about what it takes to be a business entrepreneur and her favorite and least favorite parts of owning Allegiant.
