When someone has spent seven years running a bakery and coffee shop and managed to quadruple the revenue, how do you view that experience? Considering that I’ve also spent ten years in tech, is this still valuable and worth mentioning? I want to transition into product owner or managerial roles, but all of my experience so far has been as an individual contributor.

Your bakery success is real leadership. It shows you can own results, grow a business, and manage people. That is valuable for product or manager roles and worth sharing.

Thank you for encouragement! Do you see that as something I should casually mention during my introduction or something I should add to my resume? I'm a little bit worried some people will disregard it as not relevant though.
