67: Masterminds, Mistakes & Momentum: Janice Thayer on Growing with Intention

This week on Tribe Builders, I’m joined by Janice Thayer — a short-term rental owner, seasoned designer, and business veteran whose entrepreneurial journey began in the early ’90s. From launching her first design firm (and getting sued almost immediately!) to navigating divorce and rebuilding her career with intention, Janice brings the kind of real talk and resilience every business owner needs to hear.

We dive into:

  • The power of “pay to play” in masterminds and networks

  • How to leverage your relationships when you think you have none

  • What divorce can teach you about resilience and business

  • The importance of reflection: “Don’t forget to turn around and look at the view”

Note: We had a few technical issues at the start of this episode, but trust me — stick with it. Janice drops serious wisdom that’s worth every second.

If you’re in business, in transition, or just need a reminder that building your tribe takes time and grit — this one’s for you.
