Getting Through the Glitches in Life with Monaca Vanderpool

RVA Connected With Anna Sothen

Monaca Vanderpool, a woman from a military family who transitioned from pharmacy to accounting, is best known for her entrepreneurial journey that led her to own a diesel mechanic shop and host the Glitch Mob podcast at 46. Monaca's entrepreneurial journey is unique, as she initially struggled with the idea of delegating tasks in her business, believing that she had to do everything herself to ensure it was done right. However, this perspective gradually shifted as she recognized the importance of aligning herself with reliable individuals and trusting them with their roles. One of the pivotal moments in her journey was her decision to leave a stable job for a commission-only sales position, a risk she took as a single mother, which led to her starting her own business. Monaca's story is a testament to her strong work ethic, adaptability, and commitment to doing things the right way, all of which have been instrumental in her success as an entrepreneur.
