You have to be tough to be an entrepreneur. I mean, really, really tough. I don’t know if I have what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur.

Those who have started a business and kept it going can have amazing stories. The PBS series “Start Up” featured the owners of two Birmingham companies earlier this month.

Selena Rodgers Dickerson founded civil engineering firm Sarcor in 2010. On the show, she discusses surviving the darkest time in her life and the challenges of working in a field dominated by men.

The Bajalieh brothers Chris, Jason and Jeff opened their restaurant Slice Pizza and Brew in 2011 in an old Lakeview house. The road to that moment was bumpy and filled with setbacks, as they discuss in their “Start Up” segment.

The show’s producers flew in from Detroit to film both segments in 1 day. “Start Up” interviews entrepreneurs from across America to share their stories on the highs and lows of starting and owning a business.
