PODCAST
Hear It From The Groundfloor
What does it actually take to drive growth and move the needle? On the Real Growth Podcast, we go behind the scenes through engaging conversations with entrepreneurs and business owners who are navigating the everyday realities of scaling. From those just launching to those who have built a lasting legacy, we listen to their growth stories to fuel our mission of business empowerment.
We move beyond theory to share the personal experiences, specific actions, and essential attitudes that have worked for others. Our goal isn’t to give you a rigid “recipe” for success, but to provide an interesting perspective and tangible tools you can add to your own secret sauce. If you’re looking for real-world insights to help you take your business to the next level, you’re in the right place.
Bedo Rodriguez has been practicing ceramics for two decades, but recently took the leap to bring his love for the craft to the Rochester community through his own business. Today, he is the owner of Aveli Pottery, a teaching studio offering kids’ camps, adult classes, and 24-hour memberships.
In this episode of the Real Growth Podcast, we discuss the grit required to move from a hobby to a professional operation where “the bills need to be paid”. Bedo opens up about the “tough lessons” of unexpected costs, the logistics of hauling 1,000 pounds of clay to control expenses, and why a record player and a coffee pot are essential for his studio environment.
Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur or a seasoned business owner, Bedo’s advice is simple: take a chance on yourself.
