When I think about the importance of having nerve in my business, I think of three distinct periods. The first was the nerve it took for me to leave a comfortable job with benefits to pursue my passion and create my own specialty food company in 2003. That experience was everything that you'd expect starting a business would be &mdash exhilarating, terrifying, etc. When I launched 34 Degrees, it was initially an importing business specializing in gourmet foods from Australia. By 2006, we had established our brand and its reputation for high-quality specialties from the Southern Hemisphere.
