Do you wonder what it takes to own a business? Do you want to get inspired by others that are right next door to you? Then you have come to the right place! Welcome to Jen Next Door. I’m Jen. Twice a month, I have conversations with local business owners, entrepreneurs, creatives on how they started their business, dig deeper into their human story, advice they offer and how they are impacting our communities in a positive way. I realized that the magical part of travelling to new places are the local people and the new things I get to experience. It’s the small mom and pop shops, the local atmosphere that really brings people to your town. I want to shed a light on unique local businesses that make Arizona the special place it is. If you connect with anything I just mentioned join me wherever you hear podcasts.
