My first job was working on the family apiary (farm for bees). Once we started teaching beekeeping classes I was responsible for advertising the business and I learned how to develop websites. Then relatives would ask me to make sites for their businesses, their friends, and so on.
Over the next three years I developed my skills in design and development resulting in me having a business of my own.
My experience was not only an easy conversation starter, but has been immensely helpful in understanding the every day challenges businesses grapple with.
