What started as a side hustle in their Brooklyn home has blossomed into a full-blown movement to transform how students experience math—and how women build businesses rooted in purpose.

In this episode of The Good Enough Mompreneur Podcast, I interview Candace and Melinda Shaw, the dynamic sister duo behind Why Hate Math?, a thriving math tutoring center and nonprofit reshaping confidence, education, and community impact.
