With 10 years in pro sports entertainment, Hope Donnelly took a risk each time she set foot in an audition or in an arena to perform. Isn't that a lot like starting a business? Stepping out into an arena, exposed and vulnerable to failure. But as entreprenuers, that is exactly what we do, set to repeat. This is not a new story, of risk, failure, and shifting your business model, but it is the story of the revival of the Rialto Theatre, and her other business that took a back seat until recently, 8-Count Productions. Hope believes in taking risks, "daring greatly", and takes an honest approach to sharing these experiences.
