About This Show:

Bonjour with Blythe covers the wins, losses, and lifestyle around being a present-day entrepreneur.

Contrary to popular belief, freelancing and entrepreneurialism are not all working out of coffee shops and taking insta-friendly vacations. There are real challenges (and tears!) involved with running your own business. But there are also a lot of perks; which host Blythe Brumleve hopes to share both sides of the coin in The Scouting Report show.
