When a Side Hustle Turns Into the Real Thing

What happens when a creative side project slowly becomes the thing you care about most? In this episode of Pouur Decisions, we sit down with Erin Rudy of Milestone Home Design to talk about the real decisions behind leaving a stable corporate career to build a business that started almost by accident. We dig into what it looks like to grow a company without a perfect plan, how trial and error shapes confidence, and why many entrepreneurs underestimate the importance of contracts, boundaries, and protecting their time. Erin shares honest lessons about undervaluing yourself early on, learning to say no, and realizing when a promotion isn’t actually progress. This is a grounded conversation about risk, family, money, and choosing work that feels aligned even when it’s uncomfortable. No hype. Just real experience and real decisions.
