Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Beth Nettles. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Beth, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
I found my purpose through lived experience and problem-solving. Starting KreweCar and becoming an entrepreneur stemmed from a deep personal connection to a challenge and a desire to create change and make an impact.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
KreweCar is a woman-owned, family-focused rideshare service designed to provide safe, reliable, and stress-free transportation for parents and caregivers traveling with children. Unlike traditional rideshare services, we provide car seats, ensuring families have a convenient and safe way to get where they need to go.
As a mom and entrepreneur, I founded KreweCar after experiencing firsthand the challenges of traveling with young children. Finding safe, reliable transportation that included car seats was nearly impossible, leaving parents with limited—and often unsafe—options. Recognizing this major gap in the market, I spent five years researching, developing, and refining a solution tailored specifically for families.
KreweCar was built with safety, convenience, and trust at its core. Our drivers are thoroughly vetted, trained to assist families, and equipped to handle the unique needs of traveling with kids. By prioritizing family-friendly service in an industry that traditionally overlooks this need, KreweCar is redefining rideshare for parents. Today, KreweCar is more than just a business—it’s a mission-driven solution that gives families the confidence to travel lighter.
KreweCar started in New Orleans, and we are very excited that we have recently added 3 new cities! We currently operate in Orlando, Nashville, Charleston and New Orleans.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Looking back on my journey with KreweCar, I would say the 3 most impactful qualities are:
1. Resilience – Starting and growing a business is filled with challenges. The ability to persist through difficulties and stay committed to the vision is critical.
2. Confidence – Starting a business requires an almost abnormal belief in yourself and in your idea. You must have the confidence to take that leap and to keep going when there is doubt. Confidence is not about having zero doubts; it’s pushing forward despite them.
3. Determination – Being determined is the driving force behind a commitment to a vision. The challenges of starting and running a business are monumental. Determination is having the ability to keep showing up and moving forward despite the circumstances.
Okay, so before we go, is there anyone you’d like to shoutout for the role they’ve played in helping you develop the essential skills or overcome challenges along the way?
KreweCar was born from my own experiences as a mom trying to navigate travel with kids, so in many ways, my kids have been my greatest source of inspiration. But, beyond inspiring the idea, my kids have been part of this journey in the most heartfelt ways. I’ll never forget when they made me a sign the day we had our first KreweCar ride – cheering me on as I took a gigantic leap. Their unwavering belief in me and in this dream constantly reminds me of why I got started and is the push I need to keep going.
Entrepreneurship can be an isolating path at times. Having someone who believes in you makes all the difference. My husband has never questioned whether or not I can do this. He has provided help when needed and supports my dreams. KreweCar exists to help families, and it wouldn’t be possible without the love and support of mine.
