My guest today was Shani Canillas, Owner and Editor of The Scout Guide Fort Collins. The Scout Guide is a visually appealing coffee table kind of book, featuring classy storytelling pictorials of gold standard local businesses. It’s a franchise that has a strong foundation in the Southeast part of the country, but is increasingly spreading west. Shani picked up her first guide in Bozeman, Montana, and the organization grew from 82 to 90 established communities in 2023.
Shani acquired the Northern Colorado franchise in the summer of 2023, venturing out from a long career of making an impact with local stand out companies such as OtterBox and Safebuilt.
Shani is also a mother and a fiancé, and we explored how her life events shaped her career trajectories. We talked about discernment in crafting the make up of such a publication, or of a LoCo Think Tank chapter, and we talked about some of the interesting businesses and community impact stories that will be part of this first edition.
I am always amazed by the stories of those who leave a comfortable six-figure income to venture into an entrepreneurial life of uncertainty. Shani is an amazing example of that, and I’m certain that you will enjoy, as I did, my conversation with Shani Canillas.
