LIVE from November "413 Entrepreneur Spotlight" brought to you by Common Capital 

DeeDee, Partner of Mimi’s Queer Shack - a PHENOMENAL food truck in Western Mass (this isn’t just conjecture — I just tried the butternut squash soup… and the shrimp pasta… oh and the meatballs – and YUM!!). 

Serving lots of delicious cuisine, they specialize in piña coladas, fresh squeeze lemonades and handheld foods such as taco in a bag!

Host Jill Monson sits down with Mary-Anne Schelb from JGS Lifecare to discuss ways to help an aging loved one (or prepare ahead for yourself), learn more about JGS, and explore what holistic life coaching is all about.
