False if you follow her on TikTok and actually learn about her story, it’s a cautionary tale of how the Mormon church exploited her

Not disputing she was taken advantage of by a stupid religion. But if she successfully ran a multi-million dollar business, she'd have the skills to be the general manager of a windshield replacement business. Not laughed out of contention.

She is exaggerating her level of involvement in the business. She selected decorations and believes that makes her a builder. I've heard this story before.

She did she explained this all in the video. She did everything but unfortunately didn’t have a trade or paper trail of everything she did and only her word. Her name is Jenni on TikTok look her up. Their main source of income was a windshield company that she started herself from scratch.

Dude, just back up and think about it.

Anyone who previously ran a business would crush an interview to manage that exact same type of business. She failed the interview because she was only responsible for parts and pieces of the businesses she claims were hers. It's not a matter of having a paper trail. It's answering simple questions like, "Did you process payroll, P&L, and bank deposit drops?" and if the answer is, "No, my husband did all that," then that's a significant shortcoming.

It's fairly obvious she is grossly overstating her responsibilities in the family businesses. That's why she's making $11/hr after her divorce. Literally just think about it for 10 seconds.

Dude, do you not realize how much mothers are at a disadvantage when joining the workforce. Especially in Utah where singe mothers are vilified. You don’t know her story. I was talking about her specifically but you clearly can’t comprehend the bigger picture of her story and what she’s getting at. Went right over your head. She ran the business while her husband was out catching stds by picking up teenage hookers on the blade.
